Description

A suction-type odor-treating toilet with a sensor-based automatic ventilation structure

[0001] The present invention relates to a technical idea of ​​a flush toilet, and more specifically, to a suction-type odor-treating toilet having a sensor-based automatic ventilation structure that maximizes convenience and efficiency of use due to ease of handling, use, maintenance, and management, etc., such that by simply operating a lever, the supply of treated water and the grounding of the sensor are organically and cross-actually performed due to an improvement in the overall structure of the toilet and the adoption of a blower and a sensor, the waste treatment and ventilation system inside the toilet are continuously and immediately activated, thereby enabling a more pleasant maintenance and management of the surroundings, and further, by providing a sound function using a speaker, the tension and shame caused by sound during defecation are relieved, thereby inducing smooth defecation.

[0002]

[0003] Typically, a building contains a bathroom, and most bathrooms feature both shower and toilet facilities to ensure adequate living space. These bathrooms must be kept clean at all times, and the installation of ceiling fans is recommended as one way to ensure this.

[0004] The ceiling-type exhaust fan above serves the role of sucking in various foul odors generated in the bathroom and discharging them to the outside. It is generally used to eliminate foul odors generated during defecation, but it cannot be considered a complete solution because it removes foul odors that have already spread inside the bathroom.

[0005]

[0006] For example, Utility Model Publication No. 20-0175303, “Odor Eliminating Toilet,” is published, and the technology is based on a body that temporarily stores excrement while defecating in a state where a certain amount of washing water is stored; a seat that is rotatable around a hinge axis on the upper side of the body to allow a user to sit; and a water tank that stores washing water so that excrement can be easily removed; and is composed of a gas discharge means that is installed on the rear side of the body to discharge odors; and a limit switch that is installed on the seat so that the gas discharge means can effectively operate ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’.

[0007] The above technology can effectively remove odors generated from a toilet through a gas discharge means, thereby relieving users of discomfort caused by odors and maintaining a pleasant interior of the toilet.

[0008] The above technology has a great advantage in that it is a structure that immediately absorbs the foul odor generated within the toilet body, but it has many restrictions during installation and maintenance because the gas exhaust means for discharging the absorbed foul odor must be exposed to the outside of the building.

[0009]

[0010] As another example, Utility Model Publication No. 0114945, “Deodorizing Device for Toilet,” is published. The technology comprises an intake passage formed by perforating a plurality of intake holes inwardly on the bottom of the seat of the toilet, and an intake curved inner tube communicating with the intake passage at the rear end of the seat is folded and inserted into an intake curved outer tube penetrating the cover, and the rear end of the intake curved outer tube is connected to an expansion tube and then connected to the intake tube of a ventilation fan formed with an electromagnet and a blocking plate, so that when a switch is operated on the door, the ventilation fan and the electromagnet are operated, and the odor inside the room and the toilet is sucked in through the plurality of intake holes of the intake passage and discharged through the ventilation fan.

[0011] The above technology can be installed by modifying a regular toilet, and has a great advantage in that it has a structure that immediately absorbs the foul odor generated inside the toilet body, similar to the "odor-eliminating toilet" registered in Utility Model Publication No. 20-0175303, but it has several disadvantages, such as the toilet cover cannot be opened and closed freely, the structure is extremely cumbersome, and a separate ventilation fan must be installed on the wall.

[0012]

[0013] As a result, there is an urgent need for a toilet that is extremely simple in structure so that it can be easily installed on existing toilets, can be installed without damaging the building, and above all, can immediately absorb bad odors when defecating, creating a pleasant environment.

[0014]

[0015] <Prior art literature>

[0016] (Patent Document 1) Utility Model Registration No. 20-0175303 "Odor Eliminating Toilet"

[0017] (Patent Document 2) Utility Model Registration No. 0114945, "Deodorizing Device for Toilets"

[0018]

[0019] The present invention was created to more actively resolve the above-mentioned problems, and its main task is to provide a technology that can maintain a more comfortable toilet by immediately absorbing and discharging the foul odor generated from the toilet to the outside.

[0020]

[0021] In addition, the present invention is implemented with a simple structure so that it can be sufficiently installed in existing toilets, and another challenge is to maximize usability by utilizing an automatic operation system utilizing sensors.

[0022]

[0023] In addition, another problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a technology that enables the above-mentioned automatic operation system to be immediately implemented with extremely simple operations, thereby maximizing convenience and efficiency of use.

[0024]

[0025] In addition, the present invention not only solves the fundamental problem of removing bad odor, but also provides a technology that can contribute to the smooth bowel movement of the user by applying various functions.

[0026]

[0027] In order to achieve the above-mentioned solution, the configuration of a suction-type odor-treating toilet with a sensor-based automatic ventilation structure proposed in the present invention is as follows.

[0028]

[0029] The suction-type odor treatment toilet of the present invention is characterized in that the discharge of treated water in the water tank and the grounding of the sensor are performed simultaneously by the user's operation, and a fan operates depending on whether the sensor is grounded to suck up the odor generated in the toilet and discharge the sucked odor together with the wastewater.

[0030]

[0031] In addition, the suction-type odor-treating toilet includes a body (10) that temporarily receives excrement; a cover (20) that shields the upper part of the body; a water tank (30) that supplies stored treated water to the body; a discharge unit (40) that discharges the received waste based on the siphon principle; and a purification unit (50) that operates a fan depending on whether a sensor is grounded according to a user operation to suck up odor generated within the body and then transfer and discharge it to the discharge unit.

[0032]

[0033] In addition, the body (10) includes a receiving portion (11) for temporarily receiving the user's waste; a plurality of outlets (12) formed along the upper circumference of the receiving portion to supply treated water provided from a water tank (30) into the receiving portion; and an extension portion (13) that connects the receiving portion and the water tank, communicates with the outlets to deliver treated water from the water tank to the outlets, and is connected to a purification unit (50) by a pipe to suck up odors through the outlets and then guide them to the purification unit.

[0034]

[0035] In addition, the water tank (30) includes a storage unit (31) where treated water is stored; a drain pipe (32) connecting the storage unit and the body (10); an overflow pipe (33) installed in the storage unit and controlling the amount of treated water stored by draining the water to the drain pipe when the supply amount of treated water exceeds the amount; a plug (34) rotatably installed on one side of the drain pipe to open and close the drain pipe and pressurize a sensor of the purification unit (50) to ground or not depending on whether it is opened or closed; and a lever (35) that rotates the plug according to a user's operation to supply treated water to the body.

[0036]

[0037] In addition, the purification unit (50) includes a sensor (51) that is installed in the overflow pipe (33) of the water tank (30) and is horizontally exposed to the drain pipe (32), and that varies the pressurization depending on the rotational position of the plug (34) that opens and closes the drain pipe, and is grounded or ungrounded; a case (52) having an empty interior; a blower (53) that is built into the case and is composed of a fan and a motor and automatically operates depending on whether the sensor is grounded; a suction pipe (54) that extends from the case and is directly connected to the upper part of the body (10) and sucks in odors through the outlet hole (12) at the upper part of the body depending on whether the blower is driven; and a discharge pipe (55) that extends from the case and is directly connected to the discharge portion (40), and receives odors from the suction pipe and discharges them through the siphon of the discharge portion.

[0038]

[0039] In addition, the sensor (51) includes a mating surface (51-1) of a set thickness that is coupled to an overflow pipe (33); an extension surface (51-2) that is bent and extended at a set angle from the mating surface and horizontally placed on the drain pipe (32), and whose pressurization is variable depending on the rotational position of the plug (34) to form grounding or non-grounding with the mating surface; a contact sensor (51-3) that is overlapped and installed on the upper part of the mating surface; and a dog (51-4) that is overlapped and installed on the lower part of the extension surface to form grounding with the contact sensor.

[0040]

[0041]

[0042] *In addition, the purification unit (50) includes a built-in speaker (56) to optionally provide an audio function.

[0043]

[0044] In addition, the speaker (56) is connected to a sensor (51) and is automatically operated depending on whether the sensor is grounded.

[0045]

[0046] In addition, the speaker (56) includes one that is wirelessly controlled by a smartphone registered by the user through a Bluetooth connection or voice recognition.

[0047]

[0048] According to the present invention having the above-described configuration, the ventilation structure for the desired purpose is applied simply by connecting the suction pipe and discharge pipe extended from the purification unit to the toilet, so the existing toilet can be used as is without replacing it, which is effective in reducing costs.

[0049]

[0050] In addition, the present invention not only removes the foul odor of the toilet through the blower of the purification unit, but also contributes to the mental and physical stability of the user by offsetting the sound of the stool with music through the built-in speaker, thereby inducing smoother bowel movements and improving the quality of life.

[0051]

[0052] In addition, the present invention has another effect of allowing the user to maintain and manage the surroundings in a more pleasant state by simultaneously and immediately disposing of waste contained in the toilet and eliminating any unpleasant odor caused by the waste, simply by operating the lever of the water tank.

[0053]

[0054] In addition, unlike the existing method of installing an exhaust pipe by drilling a hole in the exterior wall of a building to discharge the inhaled odor, the present invention discharges the inhaled odor through the toilet exhaust outlet, thereby eliminating damage to the building at the source, making it very effective.

[0055]

[0056] As a result, the present invention has the effect of maximizing convenience and efficiency of use due to ease of handling, use, maintenance, and management and repair resulting from a structure differentiated from the existing one.

[0070] Above all, the present invention relates to a suction-type odor-treating toilet having a sensor-based automatic ventilation structure that maximizes convenience and efficiency by providing a sound function using a speaker to relieve tension and shame caused by sound when defecating, thereby inducing smooth defecation, and so on, due to the structure differentiated from the existing one, such that the present invention organically and cross-acts the supply of treated water and the grounding of the sensor by simply operating a lever, and adopting a blower and a sensor, thereby enabling the waste treatment and ventilation system inside the toilet to be continuously and immediately activated, thereby enabling the surroundings to be maintained and managed more pleasantly, and furthermore, the present invention relates to a suction-type odor-treating toilet having a sensor-based automatic ventilation structure that maximizes convenience and efficiency by facilitating handling, use, maintenance, and management repair, etc., due to the structure differentiated from the existing one.

[0071]

[0072]

[0073] *Figure 1 is a perspective view of a suction-type odor-treating toilet constructed according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a perspective view of a purification unit proposed by the present invention, Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of a suction-type odor-treating toilet proposed by the present invention, Figure 4 is an example diagram of a sensor proposed by the present invention, and Figures 5 to 8 are diagrams showing a structure example in which a sensor is installed in a water tank and an example of the operation of the sensor.

[0074]

[0075] The suction-type odor treatment toilet of the present invention is characterized in that the opening of the drain pipe for draining treated water from the water tank and the grounding of the sensor for driving the purification unit are cross-operated by the user's operation, and the fan operates depending on whether the sensor is grounded to suck up the odor generated in the toilet and discharge the sucked odor together with the wastewater.

[0076] These suction-type odor-treating toilets may be supplied with a purification unit installed at the time of manufacture, or they may be provided as a retrofit to an existing toilet to provide a ventilation function by connecting the purification unit to it.

[0077] The above suction-type odor-treating toilet is composed of a body (10) that temporarily receives excrement; a cover (20) that shields the upper part of the body; a water tank (30) that supplies stored treated water to the body; a discharge unit (40) that discharges the received waste based on the siphon principle; and a purification unit (50) that operates a fan depending on whether a sensor is grounded according to user operation to suck up odor generated within the body and then transfer and discharge it to the discharge unit.

[0078]

[0079] Here, the body (10) is composed of a receiving portion (11) that temporarily receives the user's waste; a plurality of outlets (12) formed along the upper circumference of the receiving portion to supply treated water provided from a water tank (30) into the receiving portion; and an extension portion (13) that connects the receiving portion and the water tank, communicates with the outlets to deliver treated water from the water tank to the outlets, and is connected to a purification unit (50) by a pipe to suck up odors through the outlets and then guide them to the purification unit.

[0080] The above-mentioned receiving portion (11) is formed as a circular container, and a set amount of treated water is temporarily stored inside to prevent feces from getting on the toilet bowl. The receiving portion (11) is connected to a discharge portion (40), and when a user requests drainage, feces and treated water are discharged simultaneously, and new treated water is supplied from a water tank (30) to replenish the water.

[0081] The above-mentioned outlet holes (12) are formed in multiple numbers at set intervals along the upper circumference of the receiving portion (11), and through these outlet holes, the treated water of the water tank (30) is supplied to the receiving portion, and also the foul odor generated within the receiving portion is sucked up and discharged to the purification unit (50).

[0082] The above extension (13) is the rear part of the body (10), and its interior is made of an empty space. One side is connected to the receiving part (11) by the outlet (12), and the other side is connected to the water tank (30) by the drain pipe (32). The above extension (13) receives treated water from the water tank (30) and supplies it to the receiving part (11) through the outlet (12), and when the drain pipe (32) is blocked and the supply of treated water is stopped, the extension (13) sucks in the odor of the receiving part through the outlet and transfers it to the purification unit (50).

[0083]

[0084] The above water tank (30) is composed of a storage unit (31) where treated water is stored; a drain pipe (32) connecting the storage unit and the body (10); an overflow pipe (33) installed in the storage unit and configured to drain the treated water to the drain pipe when the supply amount of treated water exceeds the supply amount to control the amount of treated water stored; a plug (34) rotatably installed on one side of the drain pipe to open and close the drain pipe and pressurize the sensor of the purification unit (50) to ground or not depending on whether it is opened or closed; and a lever (35) that rotates the plug according to a user's operation to supply treated water to the body.

[0085] The above storage unit (31) is installed vertically at the upper end of the extension unit (13), and the treated water is stored inside. The storage unit (31) has a drain pipe (32) installed vertically downward at the lower end, so that the stored treated water is discharged through the drain pipe, and the drain pipe is connected to the extension unit (13) so that the treated water is supplied to the receiving unit (11).

[0086] The above overflow pipe (33) is installed inside the storage unit (31) and its lower side is connected to the drain pipe (32). The overflow pipe (33) is formed at a predetermined height, and when the treated water stored in the storage unit (31) exceeds the height of the overflow pipe, the excess treated water flows into the overflow pipe and is drained through the drain pipe (32). Therefore, the height of the overflow pipe (33) becomes the water level of the storage unit (31).

[0087] The above plug (34) is connected to the overflow pipe (33) and has a structure that is hinge-connected to the overflow pipe and rotates. The plug (34) is located on the upper side of the drain pipe (32) adjacent to the overflow pipe (33) and opens or blocks the upper part of the drain pipe depending on the position at which it rotates from the overflow pipe. This plug (34) is connected to a lever (35) by a chain, and rotates from the overflow pipe (33) depending on the operation of the lever to open and close the upper part of the drain pipe (32).

[0088]

[0089] The above purification unit (50) is installed in the overflow pipe (33) of the water tank (30) and is horizontally exposed to the drain pipe (32), and is composed of a sensor (51) that varies the pressurization depending on the rotational position of the plug (34) that opens and closes the drain pipe and is grounded or ungrounded; a case (52) having an empty interior; a blower (53) that is built into the case and is composed of a fan and a motor and automatically operates depending on whether the sensor is grounded; a suction pipe (54) that extends from the case and is directly connected to the upper part of the body (10) and sucks in odors through the outlet hole (12) at the upper part of the body depending on whether the blower is driven; and a discharge pipe (55) that extends from the case and is directly connected to the discharge portion (40) and receives odors from the suction pipe and discharges them through the siphon of the discharge portion.

[0090] The above sensor (51) is a ground sensor that transmits a request for setting through grounding between a detection unit and a dog, and is composed of a mating surface (51-1) of a set thickness that is coupled to an overflow pipe (33); an extension surface (51-2) that is bent and extended at a set angle from the mating surface and horizontally placed on a drain pipe (32), and whose pressurization varies depending on the rotational position of a plug (34) to form grounding or non-grounding with the mating surface; a contact sensor (51-3) that is overlapped and installed on the upper part of the mating surface; and a dog (51-4) that is overlapped and installed on the lower part of the extension surface to form grounding with the contact sensor.

[0091] Normally, the plug (34) covers the drain pipe (32) so that the treated water can be stored in the water tank (30), and accordingly, the sensor (51) is pressed by the plug so that the contact sensor (51-3) of the coupling surface (51-1) overlaps with the dog (51-4) of the extension surface (51-2) to form a ground. In this state where the sensor (51) is grounded, the blower (53) operates to continuously suck in and discharge the foul odor generated in the body (10).

[0092] Afterwards, when the user operates the lever (35) after using the toilet, the chain of the lever rotates the plug (34), and the rotated plug detaches from the upper part of the drain pipe (32), and the treated water stored in the water tank (30) is supplied to the receiving part (11) through the drain pipe, the extension part (13), and the outlet hole (12). At this time, due to the plug (34) detaching from the drain pipe (32), the contact sensor (51-3) of the coupling surface (51-1) and the dog (51-4) of the extension surface (51-2) are separated from each other, and the grounding is released, and the operation of the blower (53) stops, losing the ventilation function. Afterwards, when the plug (34) blocks the drain pipe (32) and the flow of treated water to the extension (13) and the outlet (12), the plug that blocks the drain pipe pressurizes the sensor (51) again, so that the contact sensor (51-3) of the joining surface (51-1) grounds the dog (51-4) of the extension surface (51-2), and the blower (53) operates to suck in and discharge the odor inside the body (10).

[0093] As described above, the sensor (51) stops the operation of the purification unit (50) when treated water is supplied to the extension (13) and the outlet (12), and prevents the supply of treated water when the purification unit is operated to perform the ventilation function, thereby controlling the supply of treated water to the extension and the outlet and the inhalation of odors so that they do not occur simultaneously.

[0094] The above-mentioned case (52) may be configured in various forms, but is configured to be small enough to clearly function as a ventilation device without infringing on the space of the bathroom. The case (52) only needs to be capable of accommodating the minimum intake devices, i.e., a motor and a fan. It may be fixedly installed below the water tank (30), placed on a shelf in the bathroom, or attached to the wall of the bathroom. The essential requirement is that it be configured in a form that is isolated from the outside.

[0095] The above blower (53) may be composed of a fan having multiple blades that causes air flow in the surrounding area, and a motor that rotates the fan by power and is coupled to a shaft.

[0096] The above suction pipe (54) may be made of a flexible material, and one end is connected to the case (52), and the other end is connected to the extension (13). By installing the suction pipe (54) in the extension (13), suction force is generated in the extension and the outlet (12), thereby sucking up the odor generated in the receiving portion (11) of the body (10). In addition, when the treated water is supplied from the water tank (30) to the extension (13) as described above, the treated water does not flow into the blower because the blower (53) is stopped by the sensor (51). In addition, the height of the suction pipe (54) and the air pressure formed inside the pipe prevent the treated water from flowing into the blower (53), so it can be used safely.

[0097] The above discharge pipe (55) may be made of a flexible material, similar to the suction pipe (54), and one side is connected to the case (52), and the other side is connected to a siphon (S) provided in the discharge section (40).

[0098] In particular, the present invention can be installed at the lowest part of the siphon (S). For example, when a user operates the lever, the blower (53) operates to exert a suction function, and this suction force draws in the foul odor generated from the body (10), and sequentially passes through the outlet (12), extension (13), suction pipe (54), and case (52) before being transmitted to the discharge pipe (55) and ultimately injected into the siphon space.

[0099] Here, the siphon (S) is a U-shaped pipe, and a small amount of treated water is stored in the banded section. Therefore, since the discharge pipe (55) is connected lower than the banded section where the treated water is stored, even if an odor is injected into the siphon, the treated water is stored in the banded section of the siphon, so the odor does not flow back into the toilet and is completely discharged to the outside. In other words, the discharge pipe (55) proposed in the present invention further includes a configuration that can be arbitrarily arranged by the user's selection in a set section where no treated water exists among the areas of the siphon (S).

[0100]

[0101] Additionally, the purification unit (50) of the present invention may be configured with a built-in speaker (56) to optionally provide an audio function. The audio function may be a song or music, or a pre-recorded guidance sound. The song or music serves the purpose of promoting smoother bowel movements by canceling out sounds that may occur during defecation, thereby contributing to the user's mental and physical stability. The audio guidance may also be used to guide the user on how to use the toilet or its functions.

[0102] These speakers (56) may be determined to be operational based on the sensor (51) described above, and may be equipped with a Bluetooth function so that wireless control can be achieved through a smartphone registered by the user or voice recognition, etc.

[0103]

[0104] The suction-type odor-treating toilet of the present invention, having the above configuration, can be used without replacing the existing toilet by simply connecting the suction pipe and discharge pipe extended from the purification unit to the toilet, thereby reducing costs. In addition, not only does it remove the foul odor from the toilet through the purification unit's blower, but it also contributes to the user's mental and physical stability by playing music through the built-in speaker, thereby promoting smoother bowel movements and improving the quality of life.

[0105] Furthermore, simply by operating the lever on the water tank, the user can simultaneously and instantly dispose of waste and eliminate any unpleasant odors, maintaining a more pleasant environment. Furthermore, unlike conventional methods that required drilling a vent pipe through a building's exterior wall to release inhaled odors, this system eliminates any potential damage to the building by discharging the inhaled odors directly through the toilet's exhaust outlet.

[0106] As a result, convenience and efficiency of use are maximized due to ease of handling, use, maintenance, and management resulting from a structure that is differentiated from existing ones.

[0107]

[0108] The present invention described above has been described with reference to one embodiment illustrated in the drawings, but this is merely exemplary, and it should be made clear that various modifications and equivalent other embodiments are possible for those skilled in the art. Therefore, the true technical protection scope of the present invention should be interpreted by the appended claims, and all technical ideas within a scope equivalent thereto should be construed as being included within the scope of the present invention.
