Description

[0001] SYSTEM WHERE STANDING WATER INSIDE BIDET LINE IS ENABLED TO BE DISCHARGED

[0002] Subject of the Invention

[0003] The invention relates to a system where the standing water inside the structures providing the water for use for the purpose of cleansing is enabled to be discharged and where said structures are enabled to be filled with fresh water.

[0004] State of the Art

[0005] The cleansing after the use of a toilet is important for personal hygiene. For this purpose, a bidet apparatus opening into the toilet bowl is available in the toilets that are commonly used today. By means of said bidet apparatus, the water is provided for use and thus the user performs his / her personal cleaning. The water is carried from the clean water line to the bidet line by means of a water line, more particularly, by means of a pipe or hose. Upon the water flow from the bidet apparatus being initiated, the water flows from the bidet nozzle into the toilet bowl and is thus provided to be used by a user. It was found out in the tests and experiments conducted that, when the bidet apparatus is not in use, the microbiological growth occurs in the water standing inside the plastic hoses that carry the clean water. When a user subsequently initiates the water flow from the bidet apparatus, said growths are transferred to the user and this leads to the undesirable problems of hygiene and health.

[0006] In the advanced bidet systems in use today, the water may be provided in different ways to the female and male users. Consequently, said systems may have more than one bidet nozzle, i.e., water outlet, and accordingly, more than one water line. In order to be able to preclude the likely problems of hygiene and health, it is necessary to discharge the water in all the outlets available in the system.

[0007] Object of the Invention An object of the invention is to develop a system where the standing water in the bidet line is enabled to be discharged prior to the use.

[0008] Another object of the invention is to develop a system where the standing water in all the outlets available in the bidet system is enabled to be discharged prior to the use.

[0019] Detailed Description of the Invention

[0020] The invention relates to a system where the standing water inside the structures providing the water for use for the purpose of cleansing is enabled to be discharged and where said structures are enabled to be filled with fresh water. More specifically, the invention relates to a system where the standing water in each outlet is enabled to be discharged prior to the use in the systems having more than one bidet water outlet.

[0021] The system according to the invention comprises at least one bidet reservoir (1), in which the water to be used for the purpose of cleansing is stored; at least one bidet apparatus (2), in which the water in the bidet reservoir (1) is provided for use and which comprises at least two different outlets separate for the women and men; and at least one valve (3), which enables the water in the bidet reservoir (1) to be delivered to the bidet apparatus (2).

[0022] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the bidet apparatus (2) comprises three water outlets, of which one is for the male users, one is for the female users and one is for washing the apparatus. Said embodiment of the invention comprises at least one male use outlet water carrier (21), at least one female use outlet water carrier (22) and at least one bidet nozzle cleaning water carrier (23) for carrying the water inside the bidet reservoir (1) to the respective outlets of said bidet apparatus (2). Said male use outlet water carrier (21), female use outlet water carrier (22) and bidet nozzle cleaning water carrier (23) are each preferably a hose.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the valve (3) is a three-way valve (3), which allows the water inside the bidet reservoir (1) to be guided in three different paths. In said embodiment, the male use outlet water carrier (21) is connected to an outlet of the valve (3), the female use outlet water carrier (22) is connected to another outlet of the valve (3) and the bidet nozzle cleaning water carrier (23) is connected to another outlet of the valve (3).

[0024] A preferred embodiment of the invention has at least one control unit, which enables the valve (3) to be controlled and which controls the initiation or termination of the water flow by said valve (3). Said control unit is a control unit, which enables to control to which water outlet the water is to be guided by the valve (3), more particularly, which enables to control the guidance of the water by said valve (3) to the male use outlet water carrier (21) and / or the female use outlet water carrier (22) and / or the bidet nozzle cleaning water carrier (23). In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the valve (3) is a valve (3), which is capable of regulating the flow rate.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the control unit is a control unit, which, prior to use, enables the water to be delivered by the valve (3) to both outlets of the bidet apparatus (2) intended for the male use and the female use as well as to the outlet of the bidet apparatus (2) intended for cleaning the bidet nozzle and enables the standing water inside the male use outlet water carrier (21) and the female use outlet water carrier (22) and the bidet nozzle cleaning water carrier (23) to be discharged.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the valve (3) is a valve (3), which enables the water to be delivered each time to only one of the male use outlet water carrier (21) or the female use outlet water carrier (22) or the bidet nozzle cleaning water carrier (23). In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the control unit is a control unit, which enables the valve (3) to deliver the water to the male use outlet water carrier (21), the female use outlet water carrier (22) and the bidet nozzle cleaning water carrier (23) at different time points.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the control unit is a control unit, which enables the valve (3) to deliver, prior to use, the water to the male use outlet water carrier (21) and / or the female use outlet water carrier (22) and / or the bidet nozzle cleaning water carrier (23) at a flow rate lower than the water flow rate during the use for the purpose of washing.

[0028] A preferred embodiment of the invention comprises at least one sensor, which enables the presence of a user to be detected. In case the presence of a user is detected by said sensor, the control unit enables the water inside the male use outlet water carrier (21), the female use outlet water carrier (22) and the bidet nozzle cleaning water carrier (23) to be discharged.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the control unit is a control unit, which, in case the bidet apparatus (2) is not in use, enables the water inside the male use outlet water carrier (21), the female use outlet water carrier (22) and the bidet nozzle cleaning water carrier (23) to be discharged after the bidet apparatus (2) is taken out of the bidet apparatus (2) housing where said bidet apparatus (2) is accommodated.
