Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

〔Technical field〕
The present invention relates to a drainage and spill device applicable to an improved sanitary toilet, and more particularly a closure element for opening and closing a drainage toilet bowl of a sanitary toilet, especially without an absorption tube (siphon). It relates to a certain discharge fixture. Such a drainage fixture is a drainage funnel equipped with a drainage device, ie a connected sluice member, a counterweight member, and a drive mechanism in the form of a door latch with a magnetic or electric lock. In addition, it has a specially designed shape and structure so that the discharge drive mechanism can be applied. This makes it possible to better control the sanitary toilet draining operation and wash with only 3 liters of water per drain.

(Field of the Invention)
As is well known, one of the most serious problems at present is the inverse relationship between saving water and increasing the population producing waste. This is because the amount of water consumption increases as the number of people who can use flush toilets increases.

  As currently designed, sanitary toilets are toilet bowls for catching human waste and internal devices that can remove the waste by water flow (more commonly known as absorption tubes) And has a container-like structure.

  Older sanitary toilets require a large amount of drainage water, which has caused a large consumption of water at home.

  In 1997, for the first time in the world, with the aim of reducing the consumption of sanitation water, the programa Brasileiro da Qualidade e Produtividade no Habitat Consumption was stipulated in the law. And with the help of local manufacturers, the Ministry of Home Affairs has gradually introduced new limits for water used for cleaning sanitary toilets by 2002.

  In accordance with such government instructions, sanitary toilets used in Brazil by 1999 were allowed to consume up to 12 liters of drainage water at one time. As of 2002, the upper limit of water used by sanitary toilets was changed to 9 liters per discharge, and in 2002, the upper limit was changed to 6.8 liters. Similar or higher levels have already been accepted by the European Community and North American countries.

  In order to set and manage the consumption of water in the sanitary toilet, the discharge made by the discharge box needs to release only the amount of water according to the capacity of the water tank because of its nature. This is because the amount of water released by the wall valve is determined by the length of time the button is pressed.

  Fluid used in the sanitary toilet cleaning process not only to remove excrement but also to guide the excrement horizontally until it reaches the drop pipe installed in the building via the sewage pipe The mechanical energy is supplied by a discharge device that discharges water at a rate and rate appropriate to the sanitary toilet.

  Currently, sanitary toilets can be assembled to adjust by siphoning schemes well known in the art, or can be assembled via dragging schemes.

As shown, both systems (suction and drag systems) operate in three basic configurations, namely a sanitary toilet, a drain box and a sewer, and both are in three different steps. Processed (see FIG. 1 attached to the drawing).
a) First of all, in the first step, more than 40% of the amount of water in the reservoir should not be consumed, the inertia of the load of liquid and solid deposited in the toilet bowl is overcome, and the excreta is sewered Send to.
b) Next, the second step is to maintain the initial flow of wastewater flowing in the horizontal part of the sewer pipe until the wastewater enters the drop tube installed in the building. For the purpose of functioning as a hydraulic piston made of clean water, the remaining 40% of the amount of discharged water is consumed.
c) Finally, the hydration lock is reconfigured by refilling the toilet bowl with the remaining 20% of the drainage water, thereby preventing gas and odors from flowing into the surroundings.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the sanitary toilet (1) is generally configured by a side wall structure extending from the base (2). Above the side wall structure, an anatomic form container (3) having an upper edge (4) and a toilet bowl (5) for receiving human waste is provided. The toilet bowl (5) generally includes an absorption tube or a tube-shaped wall (T). Further, the toilet bowl (5) requires at least 6.8 liters of water stored in a suitable water tank (A), and performs discharge using a volume of 80 percent (a) of the water. The percent (b) volume is retained as a hydraulic seal.

  Therefore, the satisfactory performance of a low-consumption sanitary toilet is the first 40 percent of the first 40% drained by the drainage fixture so that at least 2.5 liters of clean water remains to carry the solid waste to the drop tube. Rely on water's ability to remove all solid waste.

  A discharge device having a funnel-type outflow applicable to sanitary toilets is described in patents, for example, PI 7907568, which includes a complex driving arm and the pressure generated by the driving arm. An apparatus related to a shutter-type blade capable of plugging the end of a funnel is disclosed.

  European Patent No. 1045077 discloses a large pot used as a toilet bowl. A funnel over a complex discharge structure combined with a hydraulic seal, discharge box and arm and discharge box working in conjunction with a drive pedal that allows the water column to be separated between water outflows to facilitate discharge Is supported.

  French Patent No. 2618817 describes a sanitary toilet provided with a horizontal shielding plate at the lower end of the funnel and discharged by the gravity of the wash water.

  As can be seen in the above-mentioned document, although the above-mentioned French Patent No. 2618817 shows a clearer relationship with water saving, there is no similar interest with respect to hydraulic seals. . As shown in the document below, the hydraulic seal is very necessary to avoid the back-off of the sewage odor.

  Yet another important point is that the above document cites the situation where the shutter is returned to the rest position by a complex device that not only increases the cost of the device but also requires regular maintenance. It is.

  The applicant of the present invention was based on the same idea already described in the aforementioned foreign patent filed on 19 December 2000 with PI No. 0006521-8 at the National Industrial Property Institute (INPI). It has a claim claiming a discharge device with a shutter made of thin plate.

  However, the applicant's invention is very different because the operation is different from the one cited above and the innovative drive means is shown by a door latch that is locked using a counterweight and returned to its original position. It is creative. The applicant has made this application to improve the discharge, spill and assembly equipment as described above through development and field verification, and seek improvements introduced into the discharge equipment.
