Rotary Baffle Plate for Adjustable Toilet Flushing Speed
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing toilet flushing systems face challenges in adapting to diverse user needs, as high flushing speeds often result in wastewater splashing out of the toilet bowl, polluting the floor and user, and existing solutions to reduce this either compromise flushing power or are inconvenient to adjust.
Innovation Solution
A toilet flushing system with a speed control mechanism featuring a baffle plate and speed control orifice in the flushing pipe, allowing for quick adjustment of water passage area by rotating the baffle plate, which controls the flushing speed without reducing flushing power.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the water tank is made larger and taller or equipped with a pressure device to increase flushing power, then flushing efficiency is improved, but the risk of wastewater splashing out of the toilet bowl increases due to too high flushing speed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies a rotatable baffle plate that can dynamically adjust its position to control water flow. The baffle plate can be rotated to different angles to adapt the flushing system to different needs, making the water passage area variable rather than fixed. This dynamic adjustment allows the system to maintain high flushing power when needed while preventing wastewater splashing by reducing the water passage area when the flushing speed is too high.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the container is downsized or pressure device power is reduced to prevent wastewater splashing, then wastewater splashing is reduced, but flushing power is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of permanently reducing the water tank size or pressure device power, the patent implements a dynamic control mechanism through the rotatable baffle plate. This allows the system to maintain its full flushing power capability while only reducing the water passage area when necessary to prevent wastewater splashing. The baffle plate provides real-time adjustment without compromising the inherent flushing power of the system.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the flushing speed is adjusted via a baffle plate in a line piece, then flushing speed can be adjusted, but the adjustment mechanism becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a simple rotatable baffle plate mechanism with an actuating section that can be operated from outside the water tank. This dynamic adjustment mechanism provides versatile flushing speed control while maintaining relatively simple construction. The baffle plate rotates within the water tank to adjust the water passage area, and the actuating section allows easy operation without complex internal mechanisms.
4Adaptability or versatility
If the drain valve is used to adjust flushing speed, then flushing speed can be controlled, but the valve becomes difficult to access for adjustment
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the adjustment function from the traditional drain valve location inside the water tank and provides an actuating section that can be operated from outside the water tank. This allows users to easily adjust the flushing speed without needing to access the interior of the water tank, significantly improving ease of operation while maintaining the ability to control flushing speed.

AI summary
The invention discloses a toilet flushing system with a function for adjusting the flushing speed, comprising a water storage tank (10) and a flushing line (20) that connects a water outlet of the water storage tank (10) to a toilet bowl. A speed control opening (22) is formed on a side wall of the flushing line (20). The toilet flushing system further comprises a baffle plate that is inserted into the flushing line (20) through the speed control opening (22). One end of the baffle plate is provided with a plug (32) that is rotatably seated in the speed control opening (22) and seals the speed control opening (22), with rotation of the plug (32) causing rotation of the baffle plate.The flushing system according to the invention enables rapid regulation of the water flow cross-section of the flushing line by rotating the baffle plate, thereby controlling the water flow velocity in the flushing line and preventing splashing of wastewater caused by an excessively high flushing velocity.
