Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a toilet clogging elimination device. More specifically, it is formed so as to be elastically deformed, at least a part of it extends along the trap of the toilet, and a fixing release member and a rotating member are coupled to each of one end and the other end of an elongated member that enters and exits the trap. The rotating member transmits the rotational force applied from the rotating device to the elongated member, and the fixing release member collides with the foreign matter fixed to the trap by the movement of the elongated member, thereby relating to a toilet clogging elimination device that releases the foreign matter from the trap.

Background Art

[0002] In a toilet, if foreign matter (such as toilet paper) enters the S-shaped trap and clogs it, water will not flow down. To solve this problem, generally, air pressure is applied to the trap of the toilet through a manual compressor.

[0003] A conventional manual compressor consists of a handle bar and a pump body coupled to the lower end of this bar. Therefore, with the pump body in close contact so as to cover the clogged trap inlet of the toilet, the handle bar is instantaneously pushed to apply pressure. As a result, the compressed air in the pump body instantaneously flows into the trap, and the foreign matter trapped in the trap exits along the flow path.

[0004] However, in such a conventional manual compressor, since the internal volume of the pump body is limited, it is insufficient to apply sufficient air pressure to the toilet trap. When toilet paper, sanitary napkins, towels, etc. enter and clog the toilet trap, there is a limit to breaking through this.

In some cases, a term defined herein may not be construed to exclude the embodiments described herein.

[0025] Figure 1 is a perspective view of a toilet clog removal device according to one embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 2 is a perspective view of the toilet clog removal device according to one embodiment of the present invention with the housing member removed.

[0026] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the toilet clog removal device according to one embodiment of the present invention can release foreign objects from the inner surface of the trap by following the toilet trap, entering the inside of the trap and colliding with foreign objects fixed to the inner surface of the toilet trap, or by rotating when rotational force is applied from the rotating device and colliding strongly with the foreign objects.

[0027] For this purpose, a toilet clog removal device according to one embodiment of the present invention may include an elongated member 100, a housing member 200, a rotating member 300, a lock release member 400, and an elastic member 500.

[0028] Specifically, the elongated member 100 is formed to be elastically deformable, and at least a portion of it can follow the shape of the toilet trap and enter or exit the trap.

[0029] In this case, the elongated member 100 is a drive shaft formed to be flexible while transmitting rotational power, and may be a flexible shaft.

[0030] Such a flexible shaft consists of an outer shell and an inner core. The outer shell is made of metal and, by being positioned on the outside, protects the inner core which is positioned on the inside, thus maintaining the flexibility of the flexible shaft. The inner core is formed by twisting multiple strands of metal wire, allowing it to transmit strong rotational force while remaining flexible.

[0031] For example, the internal core may be formed by twisting stainless steel wires.

[0032] Such elongated member 100 may be a flexible shaft of various diameters; for example, the elongated member 100 may be a flexible shaft with a diameter of 8 mm.

[0033] As a result, the slender member 100 can bend along the curved trap, allowing it to easily enter and exit the trap while simultaneously transmitting rotational power.

[0034] Such an elongated member 100 may be housed at least partially inside the housing member 200.

[0035] Specifically, the elongated member 100 may be exposed to the outside of the housing member 200 for a predetermined length from one end, with the other portion housed inside the housing member 200.

[0036] On the other hand, the elongated member 100 may be joined to the other end so that the rotating member 300 can be separated from it.

[0037] As a result, the elongated member 100 can rotate when rotational force is applied to it by a rotating device and transmitted from the rotating member 300.

[0038] On the other hand, the elongated member 100 may be joined to one end so that the release member 400 can be separated from it.

[0039] As a result, the position of the release member 400 can be moved as the elongated member 100 is moved by the user's operation.

[0040] Furthermore, as described above, when the elongated member 100 rotates by transmitting rotational force from the rotating member 300, it can transmit rotational force again to the release member 400, causing the release member 400 to rotate.

[0041] As a result, the release member 400, while connected to one end of the elongated member 100, is moved into the toilet trap by the elongated member 100, and as it moves back and forth along the toilet trap, it collides with foreign objects stuck to the trap, or as it rotates, it collides with foreign objects stuck to the trap, thereby releasing the foreign object from the trap.

[0042] On the other hand, a urethane layer may be formed on the surface of the elongated member 100. Such a urethane layer on the elongated member 100 serves to suppress the expansion of the elongated member 100 inside the housing member 200 while it rotates in the opposite direction to the spiral shape. Even if the elongated member 100 rotates in the opposite direction, it is pushed inward into the housing member 200, reducing the pitch spacing of the elongated members 100 which have a spiral structure, and preventing the elongated members 100 from becoming entangled with each other and expanding relative to their outer diameter.

[0043] On the other hand, the housing member 200 is formed in a tubular shape and can accommodate at least a portion of the elongated member 100 inside.

[0044] Furthermore, the housing member 200 can accommodate at least a portion of the rotating member 300 on its interior.

[0045] Furthermore, the housing member 200 can accommodate the elastic member 500 on its inside.

[0046] Such a housing member 200 can be equipped with multiple housing pipes 210, 220 of different diameters.

[0047] Multiple housing tubes 210, 220 can be slid into the inside of adjacent housing tubes so that more of the elongated member 100 is exposed to the outside of the housing member 200, or they can be slid out to the outside of adjacent housing tubes so that more of the elongated member 100 is housed inside the housing member 200.

[0048] According to one embodiment, the housing member 200 may include a first housing pipe 210 and a second housing pipe 220.

[0049] In this case, the diameter of the first housing tube 210 may be larger than the diameter of the second housing tube 220.

[0050] More specifically, the inner diameter of the first housing tube 210 may be greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the second housing tube 220.

[0051] As a result, the second housing tube 220 may be slid into the inside of the first housing tube 210 and the elongated member 100 housed inside the second housing tube 220 may be pulled out to the outside of the second housing tube 220, or the second housing tube 220 may be slid out to the outside of the first housing tube 210 and the elongated member 100 located outside the second housing tube 220 may be housed inside the second housing tube 220.

[0052] On the other hand, the first housing tube 210 may have a gripping portion 211 formed on its outer surface to facilitate the user's grip.

[0053] This allows the user to easily operate the toilet clog removal device while gripping the gripping part 211.

[0054] On the other hand, the first housing tube 210 may have a slide fixing portion 212 formed on its outer surface for fixing or releasing the sliding of the second housing tube 220 relative to the first housing tube 210.

[0055] The slide fixing part 212 can be rotated while being held by the user, thereby fixing or releasing the slide of the second housing tube 220.

[0056] More specifically, when the slide fixing part 212 is held by the user and rotated in the first direction, the second housing tube 220 can be prevented from sliding relative to the first housing tube 210 by applying pressure to the first housing tube 210 in the direction toward the second housing tube 220.

[0057] Conversely, when the slide fixing portion 212 is rotated in the second direction while being held by the user, the pressure applied to the first housing tube 210 in the direction toward the second housing tube 220 is released, thereby allowing the second housing tube 220 to slide relative to the first housing tube 210.

[0058] This allows the user to easily adjust and fix the extent to which the elongated member 100 is pulled out to the outside of the housing member 200.

[0059] On the other hand, the housing member 200 may further include an elastic tube 230 formed in the shape of a flexible material, with the other end connected to one end of the second housing tube 220, and a portion of the elongated member 100 housed inside.

[0060] The elastic tube 230 may deform in accordance with the bending shape of the elongated member 100. Furthermore, the elastic tube 230 can prevent foreign matter or water from flowing into the inside of the elongated member 100 by ensuring that the outer and inner surfaces of the elongated member 100 housed inside are in close contact.

[0061] On the other hand, the elastic tube 230 may be formed in a ring shape from a flexible material and may be equipped with an inflow prevention ring whose outer surface is in contact with the inner surface of the elastic tube 230.

[0062] Such an inflow prevention ring may be formed with a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the elongated member 100, and when the elongated member 100 is inserted inside, it may elastically deform so that its inner circumference is in close contact with the outer surface of the elongated member 100.

[0063] As a result, the inflow prevention ring, together with the elastic pipe 230, can prevent foreign matter and water from flowing into the inside of the elongated member 100.

[0064] On the other hand, the elastic member 500 is housed inside the multiple housing tubes 210 and 220, and is elastically deformed by the sliding insertion or sliding withdrawal of the multiple housing tubes 210 and 220, and the elastic force generated by the elastic deformation can be applied to the multiple housing tubes 210 and 220.

[0065] Specifically, the elastic member 500 may be a coil spring, with one end fixed to the inside of the other end of the first housing tube 210 and one end fixed to the inside of the one end of the second housing tube 220. This allows the elastic member 500 to be elastically deformed by the sliding insertion or withdrawal of the second housing tube 220 relative to the first housing tube 210, thereby applying an elastic force to the first housing tube 210 and the second housing tube 220.

[0066] The rotating member 300 will be described below.

[0067] Figure 3 is a perspective view of the toilet clog removal device according to one embodiment of the present invention, showing the rotating member and the elongated member connected, while Figure 4 is a perspective view of the toilet clog removal device according to one embodiment of the present invention, showing the rotating member and the elongated member separated.

[0068] Referring to Figures 3 and 4, the rotating member 300 is connected to the other end of the elongated member 100 and housed inside the housing member 200, and can transmit the rotational force applied from the rotating device to the elongated member 100, thereby rotating the elongated member 100.

[0069] Specifically, the rotating member 300 may be coupled to the rotating device with a portion of it housed inside the other end of the first housing tube 210, of the multiple housing tubes 210 and 220 provided in the housing member 200.

[0070] Here, the rotating device is a device that receives power and generates rotational force, and its type is not limited as long as it is coupled to the rotating member 300 and applies rotational force to the rotating member 300 to rotate the rotating member 300.

[0071] In one embodiment, the rotating device may be an electric drill device.

[0072] Therefore, the rotating member 300 may include a fixed pipe 310, a rotating block 320, and a rotating tip 330.

[0073] The fixed pipe 310 may be formed in a tubular shape with a through-hole on the inside and fixed to the inner surface of the housing member 200.

[0074] Specifically, the fixed pipe 310 is fixed to the inner surface of the other end of the first housing pipe 210 on its outer surface, so that even if the rotating block 320 and rotating tip 330 inserted inside rotate, the fixed pipe 310 remains fixed without rotating, and the rotation of the rotating block 320 and rotating tip 330 can be guided so that the rotating rotating block 320 and rotating tip 330 rotate only on the inside.

[0075] For this purpose, rotation guide projections may be formed on the inner surface of the fixed pipe 310, protruding from the inner surface to guide the rotation of the rotating block 320 and the rotating tip 330.

[0076] The rotating block 320 is inserted inside the fixed pipe 310 so that it can rotate inside the fixed pipe 310, and one end may be connected to the other end of the elongated member 100.

[0077] Such a rotating block 320 has one end connected to one end of a rotating tip 330, and can be rotated together with the rotating tip 330 by the rotational force transmitted from the rotating tip 330.

[0078] On the other hand, the rotating block 320 may have a coupling groove formed to accommodate the elongated member 100, and screw threads corresponding to the shape of the elongated member 100 may be formed on the inner surface of the coupling groove.

[0079] The rotating tip 330 is inserted inside the fixed tube 310 so that it can rotate inside the fixed tube 310, and one end may be connected to the other end of the rotating block 320, with the other end connected to the rotating device.

[0080] As a result, the rotating tip 330 may be formed with one end in a cylindrical shape and the other end in an angular polygonal prism shape.

[0081] In particular, the other end of the rotating tip 330 may be formed in the same shape as the drill bit of an electric drill so as to be coupled to the keyless chuck of the electric drill, which is a rotating device.

[0082] As a result, when the other end of the rotating tip 330 is coupled to the keyless chuck of the electric drill, which is a rotating device, and the rotating device is activated to rotate the rotating tip 330, rotational force is transmitted from the rotating tip 330 to the rotating block 320, causing the rotating block 320 to rotate, and then rotational force is transmitted again from the rotating block 320 to the elongated member 100, causing the elongated member 100 to rotate, and finally rotational force is transmitted from the elongated member 100 to the lock release member 400, causing the lock release member 400 to rotate.

[0083] The following describes the release member 400.

[0084] Figure 5 is a perspective view of the toilet clog removal device according to one embodiment of the present invention, showing the release member and the elongated member connected, while Figure 6 is a perspective view of the toilet clog removal device according to one embodiment of the present invention, showing the release member and the elongated member separated.

[0085] Referring to Figures 5 and 6, the release member 400 is connected to one end of the elongated member 100, and the movement of the elongated member 100 causes it to collide with the foreign object fixed to the trap, thereby releasing the foreign object from the trap.

[0086] As described above, such a detent release member 400 enters the toilet trap together with the elongated member 100 and, by colliding with the foreign object at its leading edge, can release the foreign object from being stuck in the trap.

[0087] For this purpose, the release member 400 may include a fixing block 410 and a release tip 420.

[0088] The fixing block 410 may have its other end connected to one end of the elongated member 100, be inserted inside the release tip 420, and be connected to the release tip 420.

[0089] In this case, a coupling projection is formed on the outer surface of the fixed block 410, and when inserted into the inside of the release tip 420, the coupling projection may be inserted into a coupling groove formed in the release tip 420, thereby coupling with the release tip 420.

[0090] Conversely, if an external force is applied to the fixing block 410 in the direction opposite to the direction in which the fixing block 410 was inserted into the release tip 420, the coupling projection may be released from the coupling groove, thereby releasing the fixing block 410 and the release tip 420.

[0091] As described above, the release chip 420 is inserted inward by at least a portion of the fixed block 410 and connects with the fixed block 410, allowing it to collide with foreign objects and release them from the trap.

[0092] As a result, when the elongated member 100 rotates, rotational force is transmitted from the elongated member 100 to the fixed block 410, causing the fixed block 410 to rotate, and rotational force is transmitted from the fixed block 410 to the release tip 420, causing the release tip 420 to rotate.

[0093] Therefore, the release tip 420 can not only move back and forth within the trap, but also collide with the foreign object through rotation, thereby releasing the foreign object from the trap.

[0094] According to one embodiment, the release chip 420 may comprise a main body 421 and a cutting ring 422.

[0095] Specifically, the main body portion 421 has a block groove formed to which the fixing block 410 is inserted to the inside, and the above-mentioned coupling groove may be formed inside the block groove.

[0096] The incision ring 422 may be formed in a ring shape with a portion incised, and may be fixedly attached to the main body 421 so that the incised area faces forward.

[0097] Here, "forward" can mean the direction toward the area preceding the release chip 420 when the release chip 420 enters the trap.

[0098] Such an incision ring 422 can effectively release foreign objects from their adhesion by acting like a grinder in a mixer within the trap.

[0099] The following describes a release member according to another embodiment.

[0100] Figure 7 is a perspective view showing the release member and the elongated member connected together according to another embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 8 is a perspective view showing the release member and the elongated member separated according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0101] Referring to Figures 7 and 8, the release member 400' according to the other embodiment differs from the release member 400 according to one embodiment only in the release tip 420', so a repeated explanation will be omitted.

[0102] In other embodiments, the release member 400' comprises a fixing block 410' and a release tip 420', although the release tip 420' may comprise a main body 421' and a serrated cutting ring 422'.

[0103] The serrated cutting ring 422' may be formed in a ring shape with a portion cut out, and may have multiple serrations L protruding from its outer surface, and may be fixedly connected to the main body 421' so that the cut area faces forward.

[0104] In this case, although multiple saw teeth L are formed on the outer surface of the saw-tooth cutting ring 422', they may all be formed to the same size, or they may be formed to be larger the further they are from the main body portion 421'.

[0105] As a result, the serrated cutting ring 422' maximizes the surface area of ​​its outer surface and, when in contact with a foreign object, expands the surface area to more effectively release the foreign object from its adhesion.

[0106] The following describes a release member according to another embodiment.

[0107] Figure 9 is a perspective view showing the release member and the elongated member connected together according to yet another embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 10 is a perspective view showing the release member and the elongated member separated according to yet another embodiment of the present invention.

[0108] Referring to Figures 9 and 10, the release member 400″ according to yet another embodiment differs from the release member 400″ according to one embodiment only in the release tip 420″, so a repeated explanation will be omitted.

[0109] In yet another embodiment, the release member 400'' comprises a fixing block 410'' and a release tip 420'', wherein the release tip 420'' may comprise a main body 421'' and a spiral wire 422''.

[0110] The spiral wire 422″ may be connected to the main body 421″ and the wire may be formed in a spiral shape.

[0111] In this case, the spiral wire 422″ may be formed such that the diameter of the spiral increases or the spacing between wires increases as it moves further away from the main body 421″.

[0112] More specifically, the spiral wire 422″ may be formed such that the diameter of the spiral is the same as the first diameter from the point where it is joined to the main body 421″ up to the middle section, with the wires touching each other, and from the middle section to the end section, the diameter of the spiral increases as it moves further away from the main body 421″, and the spacing between the wires increases.

[0113] In other words, the spiral wire 422″ is formed by twisting the wire in a spiral shape, but the upper part may be formed such that the spacing between the wires widens and the diameter of the spiral increases, forming a clamping region between the wires.

[0114] In such an entrapment area, foreign objects too large to pass through the trap may be trapped and then moved by the spiral wire 422″.

[0115] This allows the trap to be cleared when a foreign object too large to pass through the trap and therefore impossible to crush, such as a toothbrush, handkerchief, or sanitary napkin, is blocking the trap. The foreign object is then trapped in the clamping area created by the spiral wire 422″ and moved out of the trap.

[0116] On the other hand, in other embodiments, the elongated member 100 may have multiple screw blades formed in the region that is housed in the housing member 200.

[0117] Each of these multiple screw blades may be a semicircular blade with a blade groove formed on its inside into which the elongated member 100 is fitted. That is, each of the multiple screw blades may be formed by creating a semi-elliptical blade groove on the straight edge of a semicircular disc made of a metal material. Each of these multiple screw blades may be coupled to the outer circumference of the elongated member 100 at a predetermined angle so as to be inclined rather than perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the elongated member 100. In other words, each of the multiple screw blades may be coupled to the elongated member 100 by having its outer surface inserted into and coupled to the blade groove. Furthermore, each of the multiple screw blades may be positioned at a predetermined distance apart. In addition, each of the multiple screw blades may be positioned between the elongated member 100 and the elastic member 500.

[0118] As a result, when the elongated member 100 rotates, the multiple screw blades forming a spiral also rotate within the housing member 200. As the multiple screw blades rotate, foreign matter and water that have flowed into the housing member 200 are transferred by the multiple screw blades to one end or the other end of the housing member 200 and discharged to the outside of the housing member 200.

[0119] This allows each of the multiple screw blades to discharge foreign matter and water that flows into the inside of the housing member 200 to the outside.
