Description

  The present invention relates to a toilet facility having a toilet having a bowl portion and a cleaning device having a cleaning water supply pipe for supplying cleaning water to the bowl portion.

  The issue of toilet hygiene is becoming increasingly important. Conventionally, toilet bowls could only be washed with supplied wash water (water flowing through the toilet bowl after use). Recently, however, special surface coatings have been developed, and this coating is used at least in the bowl part. It is possible to coat the toilet bowl surface. The purpose of this coating is to reduce the amount of deposits on the bowl, i.e. to reduce the need to clean the toilet bowl. A considerable improvement is provided by a suitable supply of cleaning water and / or an effectively oriented cleaning channel and the coating. Nevertheless, there is still a need to improve toilet hygiene.

  This invention is made | formed in view of the above-mentioned subject, and makes it the solution subject to provide the toilet equipment improved rather than before.

  In order to solve the above-described problems in this type of toilet facility, the present invention includes a gas supply device that supplies a sterilizing cleaning gas to the bowl portion.

  The toilet equipment according to the present invention can wash the bowl part by supplying a sterilizing cleaning gas to the bowl part in addition to the washing water for washing (or in combination with an appropriate surface coating). Since this cleaning gas flows along the main part of the bowl part or along the entire surface of the bowl part, a sterilizing action can be exhibited in the bowl part region through which the gas flows. As a result, contaminants such as bacteria can be killed.

  The gas supply device may include a gas generator so as to generate a sterilization cleaning gas, and in this case, the sterilization cleaning gas is generated in-situ. Further, a gas reservoir for storing the sterilizing cleaning gas may be provided, and the cleaning gas may be taken out from the gas reservoir when necessary.

  Preferably, ozone is used as the cleaning gas. While ozone is easily generated by a gas generator, it can also be easily stored in a gas reservoir.

  When the gas generator is provided, the gas generator includes a housing including an irradiation device for irradiating ultraviolet rays UVC, or, in addition to the housing, a transfer means for transferring the cleaning gas generated inside the housing to the bowl portion. Is provided. A housing into which room air can be newly introduced includes an ultraviolet (UVC) irradiation unit. This ultraviolet (UVC) irradiation unit irradiates high-energy short-wave radiation at a wavelength in the nanometer range. At least a portion of the air present inside the housing is converted to ozone. The housing thus serves as a gas generator chamber. The generated cleaning gas can be removed from the housing by gravity or with the aid of transfer means such as a simple fan and sent to the bowl part where it can be used for the cleaning process. The fans may be disposed together in the housing, and may be provided on the downstream side or the upstream side of the housing itself. In any case, the cleaning gas is transferred by the fan, while at the same time the fan also brings fresh air in the room into the housing. That is, air is activated.

  In the present invention, when a gas reservoir is provided instead of the gas generator, a replaceable and / or refillable pressure vessel is used as the gas reservoir, and the cleaning gas is released from the pressure vessel under pressure. May be. Therefore, there is no need for fans. If the pressure vessel is replaceable, the pressure vessel can be easily removed from the attachment to the appropriate supply tube leading to the bowl portion, and a new pressure vessel can be attached at that location. In addition, the pressure vessel can be refilled in-situ and for that purpose the pressure vessel is equipped with a suitable inlet to which an injection hose can be attached, through which a new cleaning gas is passed. It may be configured to be introduced into the pressure vessel from a cleaning gas source.

  The gas generator or gas reservoir is preferably arranged in the empty space of the toilet bowl. Toilet bowls made of earthenware or porcelain usually have a relatively large space in the lower or rear area where a gas generator or a gas reservoir can be easily integrated. Further, the gas generator or the gas reservoir may be disposed behind the front wall to which the toilet bowl is fixed or to which the toilet bowl can be fixed.

  In order to supply the cleaning gas, it is preferable to provide a supply path, which is a part of the supply device. The cleaning gas is guided to the bowl portion through this supply path.

  Such supply channels may be provided with individual channels that are rigid or flexible, in the form of a hose or similar to a hose. This type of hose is led from a gas generator or gas reservoir to a supply port in the toilet that leads to the bowl. Therefore, the individual channels are arranged to pass through the toilet and are connected to the earthenware by joints or connecting elements, and the cleaning gas exiting the channel passes through the appropriate through holes in the earthenware. , To reach the bowl.

  Instead of using a separate channel, a wash channel may serve as the supply channel. A gas generator or a gas reservoir is connected to the cleaning water channel directly or via a flow path connection. Thus, according to this embodiment of the invention, the gas generator or gas reservoir is coupled to a wash channel connected to the toilet bowl. Via the washing water supply pipe, the washing water usually flows into the bowl part through a suitable through hole. According to the present invention, an advantage of introducing the cleaning gas into the cleaning water pipe is that the gas passes through the cleaning water pipe and reaches the bowl section through an appropriate through hole of the bowl section.

  Instead of using the washing water supply pipe as a supply path, an exhaust path through which air that can be taken out from the bowl portion by an exhaust fan passes may be used as the supply path, and the gas generator or the gas reservoir is connected to the exhaust path. It is preferable to be connected directly or via a flow path connecting member. Some sanitary facilities are equipped with an exhaust system to remove odors directly from the bowl. The exhaust path is inevitably connected to the inside of the bowl portion, which means that the exhaust path can be used as a cleaning gas supply path. This gas is blown into the exhaust passage and reaches the bowl part through a corresponding opening in the bowl part.

  The gas generator, the gas reservoir, or the flow path connecting member for connecting the gas generator or the gas reservoir to the washing water supply pipe or the exhaust passage is a point close to or connected to the flush water supply pipe and the toilet. It is preferably connected to a flush water supply pipe or an exhaust path at a point close to the connection point between the road and the toilet. It is recommended that the connection position be close to the connection point with the toilet. As described above, the cleaning gas reaches the bowl part through the cleaning water supply pipe or the exhaust path by the shortest possible route, and does not mix with the ambient air in the cleaning water supply pipe or the exhaust path or is negligible. This is because they do not mix.

  In order to start the supply of the cleaning gas, it is preferred that an operating element that is manually activated is provided as part of the installation. For example, a control knob or a sensor button that starts the flow of the cleaning gas when pressed may be provided. When such a control knob or push button is operated, if a fan is provided, the fan is also operated at the same time, and the cleaning gas is blown into the bowl portion. If a gas reservoir is provided, the appropriate control valve downstream of the gas reservoir is activated. When the control valve is opened, the pressurized cleaning gas in the gas reservoir flows out and reaches the bowl portion. This means that when a suitable control unit is provided and actuating the operating element, the gas generator is at least temporarily started or the gas reservoir is temporarily opened and then closed.

  The operating element itself is preferably a push button or push knob, more preferably arranged on the actuating device of the cleaning device. The cleaning device is normally operated by a cleaning button provided on the back wall. A push button or push knob for starting the supply of the cleaning gas is preferably arranged in the area of this cleaning button. Since the wash button is used to wash the toilet bowl, this arrangement is intuitive.

  When the cleaning gas passes through the surface of the bowl portion, it is preferable that the toilet lid of the toilet bowl is closed so that the sterilizing action of the cleaning gas can be utilized most intensively. As a result, the supplied cleaning gas can be intensively operated for as long as possible, and the processing time can be prolonged. This is because when the toilet lid is closed, the cleaning gas collects in the bowl portion and does not leak out immediately.

  In this regard, according to the preferred details of the present invention, at least one sensor element is provided to detect the position of the toilet lid covering the bowl portion, and the supply of the cleaning gas is controlled according to the detection result. It is possible. That is, the cleaning gas is supplied only when the sensor element detects that the toilet lid is closed. After this detection and only after the detection, the irradiation unit is started by the control unit, generates a cleaning gas such as ozone, and operates the fan to transfer the cleaning gas. Alternatively, after the above detection and only after the detection, the valve is opened and the gas reservoir is activated. If the toilet lid is not closed, the cleaning gas does not flow into the bowl even if the operating element is activated.

  According to the first alternative form of the present invention, the sensor element preferably detects when the toilet lid is in the raised position. This is particularly desirable in the case of flush toilets such as wall-mounted toilets that are attached to or attached to the wall, in particular the front wall, in which case the sensor element is arranged on the upper wall of the toilet bowl. . When the toilet lid is in the raised position, it is tilted towards or leaning against the wall. If there is a sensor element in the region through which the toilet lid passes when the toilet lid is raised, the sensor element in this case always detects that the toilet lid is raised. The detection of the toilet lid raised in this way is also desirable in the case of a floor-mounted toilet, and the sensor element in this case is disposed in a tank provided at the upper rear of the toilet. In the case of a floor-mounted toilet, the toilet lid is lifted towards the tank and, in some cases, leans against the tank. If the sensor element is in the tank, it can be detected that the toilet lid is raised. Only when the sensor element does not detect the raised toilet lid, it is determined that the toilet lid is closed. At this time, the operation element can be operated to supply the cleaning gas.

  As an alternative, the sensor element may be used for detection of a closed toilet lid. In this case, the sensor element is preferably arranged on the toilet seat. The toilet seat is located below the toilet lid when the toilet lid is closed. The toilet lid is automatically placed on the toilet seat when closed. If the sensor element is on the toilet seat, the closed toilet lid can be easily detected. When the sensor element mounted on the toilet seat sends a detection signal, the cleaning gas can circulate only in this case.

  In the embodiment described here, the sensor element is preferably a proximity sensor. When the raised toilet lid approaches the front wall or the tank, the proximity is detected by the sensor element. That is, the sensor element can detect that the toilet lid has been raised. For this purpose, the toilet lid need not lean against the wall or tank. As a sensor mounted on the toilet seat, a proximity sensor may be used, or a pressure sensor may be used. This is because the toilet lid is usually placed on the toilet seat with its own weight, and therefore light pressure is applied to the toilet seat. Therefore, even with this method, a closed toilet lid can be detected.

  According to another alternative of the invention relating to the operation of the device for supplying cleaning gas only when the toilet lid is closed, the toilet lid is automatically closed when the operating element is activated. Modern hygiene facilities include a shower device in the housing above the toilet bowl, which can discharge water to the user through a stretchable nozzle. The shower apparatus is usually disposed behind the combined toilet lid and toilet seat, in which case, for example, the toilet seat and toilet lid are rotatably supported on or within the shower apparatus housing. The shower device includes several electric components. A closing device may be provided in the area of the shower device so as to automatically close the toilet lid based on the actuation of the operating element. This means that a toilet lid drive is realized, whereby the raised toilet lid can be actively closed. When the operating element supplying the cleaning gas is activated and the toilet lid is still in the raised position, the toilet lid is driven so that the toilet lid automatically closes, i.e. the closure device is activated by the control unit of the shower device Be made. Only after the toilet lid is closed, the cleaning gas is supplied by generating the cleaning gas and blowing it with a fan or taking it out of the cleaning gas storage.

  Further advantages and details according to the invention can be found from the exemplary embodiments and figures described below.

It is a rear view of a wall fixed type toilet equipped with a cleaning gas generator arranged in an empty space of the toilet.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a toilet facility 1 according to the present invention, which includes a toilet 2 having a bowl portion 3 (see also FIG. 2). A cleaning device 4 including a cleaning water tank 5 and a cleaning water supply pipe 6 is also provided. The washing water tank 5 is connected through a washing water supply pipe 6 to a connection receptacle 7 of a toilet bowl which is usually made of ceramic or porcelain. In the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the wash water flowing through the supply pipe reaches the annular water channel 8 and can flow from the annular water channel 8 through the appropriate hole of the annular water channel 8 into the bowl portion. The arrows shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 indicate basic paths through which wash water may flow.

  The toilet bowl is of course also provided with a drain flange 9 in a known manner. A toilet seat / toilet lid combination 10 is also attached to the toilet bowl, and this combination includes a toilet seat 11 and a toilet lid 12.

  The cleaning device 4 is disposed behind the front wall 13 and is usually mounted using a mounting frame 14 (see FIG. 3). The mounting frame 14 has a cleaning water tank 5 and other necessary components. Is arranged. In the illustrated embodiment, the cleaning water supply pipe 6 and a drainage channel (not shown) are provided through the front wall 13.

  On the front side of the front wall 13, an operation device 15 including a cleaning button 16 is disposed, and thereby supply of cleaning water from the cleaning water tank 5 can be started. Once the toilet bowl has been used, the user must press button 16 to begin the cleaning process.

  The toilet facility 1 according to the present invention also includes a device 17 for supplying a sterilizing cleaning gas to the bowl portion 3. In the illustrated embodiment, the apparatus 17 includes a gas generator 18 that generates ozone as a cleaning gas. The gas generator 18 includes a housing 19 in which a fan 20 and an irradiation device 21 that radiates ultraviolet (UVC), that is, high-energy short-wavelength radiation, are disposed. Ultraviolet light (UVC) can convert at least a portion of the ambient air into ozone. Fresh air can flow into the housing 19 of the gas generator 18 through holes 22 that can be arranged as desired.

  The gas generator 18 is connected to the cleaning water supply pipe 6 by a flow path connecting member 24. The cleaning water supply pipe functions as a supply path for cleaning gas generated by the gas generator 18. The operation of the gas generator is initiated by the operating element 25, a suitable button or the like. The operating element 25 communicates with the control unit 23 of the radiation generator 18 and, of course, is provided with necessary power and a communication conduit, but is not shown here. As an example, the operating element 25 is disposed in the operating device 15 including the cleaning button 16.

  When the operating element 25 is activated, the irradiation device 21 is started, irradiated with ultraviolet rays (UVC), and a cleaning gas in the form of ozone is generated. At the same time, the fan 20 is started and the generated cleaning gas is blown into the cleaning water channel 6 through the flow path connecting member 24. 1 and 2, the gas reaches the annular water channel 8 and flows from there through the hole into the bowl portion 3. The cleaning gas flows along the surface of the bowl part and completely sterilizes the bowl part. The cleaning process is continued for a certain time, the length of which is controlled by the control unit 23. For example, the timer can be set to end the cleaning process after 5 or 10 minutes, and the irradiation device 21 and the fan 20 can be automatically stopped at the end of the cleaning process. The toilet bowl can also be cleaned with water in order to polish the wash path, either before or after, more preferably under automatic control.

  In order to further improve the cleaning action, i.e. the sterilization action, and to keep the concentration of the cleaning gas in the region of the bowl as high as possible, the toilet seat and toilet lid combination 10 is closed during the sterilization process. Need to keep on. That is, the toilet lid 12 must be closed. In order to detect whether the toilet lid 12 is raised or closed, a sensor element 26 is provided. Although the sensor element 26 is disposed on the front wall 13 in the illustrated embodiment, the sensor element 26 may be disposed on the operating device 15. For example, the sensor element 26 may be a proximity switch that detects whether an object (in this case, the toilet lid 12) is in front of it. When it senses that the toilet lid 12 is in front of it, the toilet lid should be in the raised position. In this case, even if the operation element 25 is activated, for example, ozone is not generated and no cleaning gas is supplied. The sterilization process can only be started after the sensor element 26 informs the control unit 23 that the toilet lid 12 is closed.

  FIG. 3 shows an installation example of the toilet 2 as shown in FIG. 1 as described above. The toilet bowl 2 includes an attachment frame 14 that is effectively disposed behind the front wall 13 and functions as a support for components. As an example, the washing water tank 5 is attached to the attachment frame. As shown in the figure, a cleaning water supply pipe 6 and a gas generator 18 are also provided, and the gas generator 18 is connected to the cleaning water supply pipe 6 by a flow path connecting member 24.

  FIG. 4 shows another exemplary embodiment of the toilet facility 1 according to the present invention, which includes a toilet 2 having a bowl portion 3 and a cleaning device 4 having a cleaning tank 5 and a cleaning water supply pipe 6. ing. An exhaust passage 27 is connected to the cleaning water supply pipe 6, and an exhaust fan 28 is connected to the exhaust passage. Thereby, air can be sent out to the inside of the bowl part via the short part of the washing water supply pipe 6. The air is discharged from a cleaning water supply port that communicates with the bowl portion 3.

  Even in the illustrated form, a device 17 in the form of a gas generator 18 for supplying a sterilizing cleaning gas is provided. As described above with reference to FIG. 1, this apparatus includes a fan 20 and an irradiation line generator 21 that irradiates ultraviolet (UVC) rays. The operation is also controlled by the control unit 23 in this example.

  In this example, the flow path connecting member 24 is guided to the exhaust path 27. The cleaning gas generated by the operation of the operating element 25 normally flows into the bowl portion 3 through a supply port through which cleaning water flows into the bowl portion. The illustrated toilet bowl is designed as a so-called “rimless” toilet, which means here that there is no annular channel. Instead, both the wash water and the wash gas flow along a suitable groove extending around the bowl portion and are therefore distributed throughout the bowl portion. In this way, the cleaning gas can treat and sterilize the entire surface of the bowl portion.

  Also in this example, the operating element 25 is disposed in the operating device 15 as an example. This device is also equipped with an operating element 29, whereby the exhaust device or exhaust fan 28 can be started.

  Also in this example, a toilet seat / toilet lid combination 10 is provided, and in this case, the shower device 30 is rotatably provided. The shower device 30 is provided in a housing 31. The housing surrounds the device on all sides, and the toilet seat 11 and the toilet lid 12 are rotatably supported on or in the housing, for example. ing. The shower device 30 includes a nozzle (not shown), and this nozzle can extend to the inside of the bowl portion 3. Through this nozzle, hot water can be supplied to the user for cleaning purposes. The shower device comprises not only a water supply valve, but also a suitable pump, heating device and nozzle unit, and in some cases a water tank, and of course a control unit 32. The control unit 32 is shown here as an example. As a matter of course, the shower device 30 is supplied with electric power and water through an appropriate supply pipe.

  In this example, an automatic closing device 33 is disposed in the housing 31. With this device, the toilet seat 11 (particularly the toilet seat together with the toilet lid 12) can be automatically closed. The closing device 33 is operated by the control unit 32. When the operating element 25 is activated, the control unit 32 is also automatically activated, so that it is ascertained whether the toilet lid 12 is raised or closed. When it is detected that the toilet lid 12 remains raised, the automatic closing device 33 automatically closes the toilet lid 12. As soon as the toilet lid 12 is closed, the operation of the operating element 25 starts the gas generator, the irradiation device 21 generates cleaning gas, that is, ozone, and the fan 20 supplies the ozone to the exhaust passage 27 (in this example, supply of ozone). The ozone reaches the toilet and flows into the bowl portion 3 through the exhaust passage.

  FIG. 5 shows, as an example, a third embodiment of the toilet facility 1 according to the present invention. The toilet facility 1 includes a toilet 2 having a bowl portion 3 and a cleaning device 4 having a cleaning water tank 5 and a cleaning water supply pipe 6. In this embodiment, an operating device 15 having a cleaning button 16 is also provided.

  Also in this embodiment, a device 17 for supplying sterilized cleaning water is provided. In this case, the device comprises a gas reservoir 34. In the gas reservoir 34, a sterilizing cleaning gas such as ozone is stored under pressure. The gas reservoir 34 is detachably provided with respect to the valve body 35. The valve body 35 can be actuated by the control unit 36. The control unit 36 is connected to the operating element 25. The operating element 25 is also arranged in the operating unit 15 in this embodiment and, when activated, starts the sterilization process. When the operating element 25 is activated, the control unit 36 activates the valve body 35, for example, an electromagnetic valve, and opens the valve. The pressurized sterilization cleaning gas flows out of the gas reservoir 34 and flows into the flow path connecting member 24. The flow path connecting member is guided to the cleaning water supply pipe 6 even in the illustrated embodiment. The cleaning gas reaches the bowl portion 3 through the cleaning water supply pipe 6 and can flow and sterilize over a wide range of the surface of the bowl portion 3.

  Also in this example, the device 17 operates only when it is determined that the toilet lid 12 is closed, that is, the valve body 35 is opened. As illustrated, a sensor element 26 is provided to detect a closed state, but this sensor is provided integrally with the toilet seat 11. In this example, the sensor element 26 may be a proximity sensor or a pressure sensor. The sensor element 26 detects whether or not the toilet lid 12 is closed. When the toilet lid is in the raised state, the control unit 36 connected to the sensor element 26 does not detect the “closed” signal. Therefore, even if the operating element 25 is activated, no cleaning process is performed. Only when the sensor element 26 detects that the toilet lid 12 is closed and a corresponding signal is sent to the control unit 36, the control unit opens the valve body 36 and consequently starts the cleaning process. To do.

  The gas reservoir 34 can be exchanged, i.e. it can be easily removed from the connection to the valve body 35. The gas reservoir 34 can then be replenished from the filling port 37. However, this replenishment via the filling port 37 can also be carried out with the reservoir attached to the valve body 35. The gas reservoir 34 is preferably disposed behind the front wall 13 but may be easily accessible from the inspection door.

  Finally, FIG. 6 shows the back side of the toilet bowl 2. A connection flange 7 for the cleaning water supply pipe and a connection flange 9 for the drainage channel are shown. Adjacent to these connecting flanges 7, 9 there is a correspondingly vacant space 38. In the illustrated form, the empty space 38 is provided with a device 17 for supplying cleaning gas (in this example, the type of the gas generator 18). This apparatus is also connected to the cleaning water supply pipe (shown only by the wavy line) by the flow path connecting member 24. This means that a compact unit can be obtained. This is because the gas generator 18 that can be provided in a very small size can be easily disposed in the available empty space 38 in the toilet bowl.

  The drawings of various exemplary embodiments of toilet facilities according to the present invention are merely illustrative of the relevant technical ideas of the present invention, which are only exemplary embodiments and are limiting. is not. Obviously, the corresponding components of the respective individual toilet facility can be combined in any desired manner. For example, the toilet facility shown in FIG. 1 may comprise another combination of toilet seat and toilet lid, possibly with a shower device as shown in FIGS. The configuration shown in FIGS. 1, 4 and 5 can also include a gas reservoir instead of a cleaning gas generator or the like. Further, the gas generator or the gas reservoir can be directly connected to the main part in front of the pipe, instead of being connected to the main part in front of the pipe by the individual flow path connecting member. The point where the cleaning gas is supplied to the cleaning water supply pipe is preferably connected to the toilet so that the cleaning gas is introduced into the bowl part 3 by the shortest possible route as efficiently as possible. The point where the cleaning gas is supplied to the exhaust path should be as close as possible to the point where the exhaust path is connected to the cleaning water supply pipe.

  Obviously, instead of the wall-mounted toilet shown in the exemplary embodiment, it may be a floor-mounted toilet with a corresponding device for supplying cleaning gas, in which case The apparatus comprises a gas generator or a gas reservoir. In this case, the gas generator or gas reservoir is preferably surrounded on all sides by a suitable housing or the like, preferably disposed in the region behind the toilet bowl, and the exemplary implementation described above. It is connected to the washing water supply pipe or the exhaust passage in the same manner as the form. Then, an appropriate operation element may be disposed on a housing surrounding the gas generator or the gas reservoir, for example, so that the user can easily operate the gas generator or the gas reservoir. A corresponding sensor element for detecting a toilet lid that is closed or raised can also be mounted, in which case the operating element is arranged, for example, in front of a separate wash water tank The raised toilet lid will lean against this tank, or the sensor can be integrated into the toilet seat. Of course, a shower device to which an automatic closing device is assigned can also be mounted.
