Technical field

The field of the invention includes water closet, and is related more specifically to certain with the cleaning system with clean cycle Gravity Washdown type closestool or siphon water closet.

Background technology

There are a plurality of types of closestools and toilet assemblies with closestool urinal, including the siphon of gravity dynamic formula and fling Closestool.Siphonage-toilet will include edge and feed urinal, non-ejection formula, edge injecting type and direct injection urinal.In this way, for moving Except the closestool of the waste product of such as station garbage is well-known.Typically, as the closestool of gravity dynamic formula closestool usually has Two major parts：Water tank and urinal.Water tank and urinal can be linked together (to lead to the separating member for forming toilet system Frequently referred to split type closestool) or can be combined into the unit (being typically referred to as integral closestool) of an entirety.

Water tank (if present) receiving for being conventionally positioned at urinal rear upper rushes waste from urinal for starting It is washed till the water of downcomer, and refills the water of urinal with clear water.When user wants to rinse closestool, he presses on the outside of water tank On flush handle, the flush handle on the inside of the water tank on be connected to movable chain or lever in water tank.When pressing flush handle, Flush handle makes chain on the inside of water tank or lever motion, the chain or lever action to promote and open flushing valve, promote water from Water tank flows into urinal, thus starts flush toilets.Other closestools without water tank use the in-line water pipe fed from water source It facility and is operated by the in-line flushing valve of the action actuation of actuation means such as washed handle, button or the like.

In flush cycle, wait meeting three basic objects.First purpose is to move any solid, liquid and other wastes Except to drainpipe.Second purpose is to clean urinal during use to remove deposition or stick to any solid, the liquid of toilet surface Body or other wastes.The purpose of third is the pre-flush water exchanged in urinal so that is retained in urinal between use twice Compared with the water of cleaning, used for next time to restore to resist the water seal depth of sewer gas refluence and closestool is made to be ready to And flush cycle.

Second requirement, the cleaning of urinal usually pass through upper periphery common in most closestools, around closestool urinal The hollow rim of extension is realized.Some or all in flushing water is guided by this hollow rim channel and flows through positioning Water to be dispersed in the whole surface of urinal and complete required cleaning by opening wherein.

Closestool using gravity as power is divided into two major classes：Washdown type and hydrocone type.In Washdown type closestool, horse Water level in bucket urinal is sometimes keeping relative constant.When starting flush cycle, water is flowed out from water tank or other water sources And it overflows into urinal.This leads to the rapid increase of water level and excessive water overflows above the weir of drain outlet, carry with one of The liquid and solid waste risen.At the end of flush cycle, the water level in urinal return to naturally determined by the height on weir it is equal Hengshui is flat.

In siphonage-toilet, drain outlet and other water passages are designed to make arranging when water is added to urinal Start siphon in dirty channel.Siphon pipe itself is the U-shaped pipe to turn upside down, and water is evacuated to sewage pipe from closestool urinal.When opening When dynamic flush cycle, water, which is flowed into urinal and be may exit off than it above the weir in drain outlet, exports to sewer drainage pipe Quickly overflow.Enough air are finally removed from the lower leg of drain outlet to start siphon, and the siphon is again by remaining water Extract urinal out.Water level when siphon is interrupted in urinal needs to provide individual mechanism therefore far below the horizontal plane on weir With refill closestool urinal at the end of hydrocone type flush cycle start against original water level and prevent sewage air return The protective seal of stream.

In general, hydrocone type and Washdown type closestool have the shortcomings that intrinsic advantages and.Siphonage-toilet is due to requiring major part Air is removed from the lower leg of drain outlet tends to have smaller drain outlet to start siphon, this may cause to block. Washdown type closestool can be worked by larger drain outlet, but usually require that have in urinal small amount of pre-flush water with 110 required by realizing in the pipeline specifications of most of country：1 dilute strength is (that is, during flush cycle, in urinal 99% pre-flush water must be removed from urinal and be replaced with fresh water).The smaller pre-flush amount itself be expressed as compared with Small " water surface area ".The surface area of pre-flush water in the water surface area or urinal is played the part of in terms of the cleaning for maintaining closestool Important role.Larger water surface area increases the possibility that waste contacts water before the ceramic surface of contact closestool.This It reduces waste and sticks to ceramic surface so that be easier to clean its own via flush cycle for closestool.Therefore, there is it The Washdown type closestool of smaller water surface area continually needs Manual-cleaning urinal after usage.

Siphonage-toilet has and can be acted as by larger pre-flush water in urinal and larger water surface area The advantages of using.This can, this is because at the end of flush cycle siphonage by most pre-flush water from just It takes away in pond.As water tank refills, the part for refilling water is introduced into urinal and so that pre-flush water is back to its original It is horizontal.In this way, even if the beginning water in urinal also achieves many pipes relative to the notable higher of flushing water left from water tank 110 required by road specification：1 dilute strength.In North America market, siphonage-toilet have been obtained for widely receive and It is considered standard, received toilet types now.In European market, Washdown type closestool is still more received and by joyous It meets, and two types are all universal in Asian market.

It, can be by as the siphonage-toilet of power using gravity according to the design of the water passage for realizing flushing action It is further separated into three categories.These types are：Non-ejection formula, edge injecting type and direct injection.

In typical non-ejection formula urinal, all flushing waters leave water tank and enter in urinal entrance area and flow through Main manifold and in inflow edge channel.Water is spread via a series of holes being located in below edge around the periphery of urinal.It is described Certain in hole can dimensionally be designed larger to allow larger amount of water to flow into urinal.Need relatively high flow with Water is sufficiently rapidly overflowed above the weir of drain outlet come in leg under replacing sufficient air and start siphon.Relative to just The exchange of the cleaning and pre-flush water in pond, non-ejection formula urinal typically has performance good enough, but is greatly removing Aspect performance relative mistake.Water is fed to that drain outlet is inefficient and is turbulent, this makes it more difficult to logical to be sufficient filling with blowdown The lower leg in road and the strong siphon of startup.Therefore, the drain outlet of non-ejection formula closestool typically has smaller diameter and includes There are the bending section for being designed to hinder water flowing and contraction flow region.It, will without smaller size, bending section and contraction flow region It is not carried out stronger siphon.Regrettably, in terms of a large amount of waste removals, smaller size, bending section and contraction flow region cause Performance is poor, and leads to frequent jams situation, this is extremely unsatisfactory for terminal user.

The designer and engineer of closestool improve a large amount of wastes of siphonage-toilet by being incorporated to " siphon jet " It removes.In edge injecting type closestool urinal, flushing water leaves water tank, flows through closestool entrance area and flows through main manifold and flow Enter in edge gateway.Part water is spread via a series of holes being located in below edge around the periphery of urinal.Rest part Water flows through the injection channel being located at edge fronts.Edge gateway is connected in the puddle for being located in urinal by the injection channel Injection opening.Injection opening is dimensionally configured to and the opening being oriented directly in drain outlet is sent by force Power flow.When flow overspray is open, it is used for than may be implemented in non-ejection formula urinal more efficient and quickly fills out Fill drain outlet.The drain outlet that the stronger and quick flow for flowing to drain outlet enables closestool to be designed with bigger Diameter and less bending section and contraction flow region improve the property in terms of a large amount of waste removals again relative to non-ejection formula urinal Energy.Although the edge of lesser amount of water outflow edge injecting type closestool, because flowing through the water of edge gateway by from water tank Upstream water stream S, urinal cleaning function is usually acceptable.This allow water with higher energy leave edge hole and Carry out the work of more effectively cleaning urinal.

Although edge injecting type urinal is typically superior to non-ejection formula urinal, it must supply water and injection is marched to by edge The relatively long-channel of opening has dissipated and has wasted most of in utilisable energy.Direct injection urinal root in terms of a large amount of waste removals It is improved according to this design and realizes better performance.In general, in direct injection urinal, flushing water leaves water tank and flows through just Pond entrance and flow through main manifold.At this point, moisture is at two parts：A part of water flows through edge ingress port to edge gateway, Main purpose is to realize required urinal cleaning；Another part flows through nozzle entrance port to " direct-injection channel ", and " direct-injection is logical for this Main manifold is connected to the opening of the injection in the puddle of closestool urinal by road ".Direct-injection channel can take different forms, sometimes It is the unidirectional side for surrounding closestool, or " double feed ", wherein symmetric channel is connecting the manifolds to the both sides of injection opening all Downlink.As edge injecting type urinal, injection opening is dimensionally configured to and is oriented directly logical in blowdown The opening in road sends strong stream.When flow overspray is open, it is used for than in non-ejection formula urinal or edge injecting type May be implemented in urinal more efficient and quickly fill drain outlet.This flows to the stronger and quick flow of drain outlet Closestool is enable to be designed with even greater drain outlet diameter and the bending section at least talked about and contraction flow region, relative to non- Injecting type urinal and edge injecting type urinal improve the performance in terms of a large amount of waste removals again.

Other than the type of closestool and its cleaning ability, there is the pressure using less water, this to clean work( It can be more difficult.Government organs persistently require municipal water use family to reduce the water that they use.In recent years, most of focus It has been gathered in reduction and has operated required water by flush toilets.In order to illustrate this point, government organs have gradually decreased use In the water that closestool rinses every time, (before the 1950s), 7 gallons/flushing was reduced to (phase late 1960s) 5.5 gallons/rinse, and it is reduced to (the 1980s) 3.5 gallons/flushing.The national Energy Policy Act of nineteen ninety-five is now wanted Can be used by seeking the closestool sold in the U.S. by only 1.6 gallons/rinse (6 liters/rinses) water.California has led to recently The code requirements water consumption crossed further drops to 1.28 gallons/flushing.When carrying out to these water consumption levels, Current patents It is 1.6 gallons described in document and can supplying on the market/to rinse the ability that closestool will lose lasting siphon.Therefore, do not having In the case of having the improved technology of exploitation and toilet designs, manufacturer is just being forced to and will continue to be forced to reduce drain outlet straight Diameter and the performance for sacrificing closestool.

Thus, the target of several inventions has been the optimization conceived by direct-injection to improve the washability of siphonage-toilet Energy.For example, in United States Patent (USP) No.5, in 918,325, the property of siphonage-toilet is improved by improving the shape of drain outlet Energy.In United States Patent (USP) No.6,715,162, by using with fillet entrance flushing valve and make the asymmetric inflow urinal of water In improve performance.

United States Patent (USP) No.8,316,475 B2 illustrate a kind of pressing edges and configuration is sprayed in direct feeding, are used for root It is cleaned and abundant siphon using compared with low wash water to enhance according to current environment water supply standard.

A kind of high performance toilet is also shown in U.S. Patent Publication No.2012/0198610 A1, by main manifold area The flowing for the flushing water for entering closestool manifold from tank entry is divided into in domain comprising control element the arrival end of inflow edge Mouth, which neutralizes, to be flowed into the directly ingress port of feeding injection.

Preferred hydrocone type rinses toilet assemblies by the way that the fluid being introduced into urinal component flowing is isolated to maintain to fill herein The closing injection fluid path (including injection channel) of note, (preferably, to pass through separation from jet douche valve and rim wash valve Jet path and rim path entrance) the different fluid volume of conveying.This is compared to more conventional gravity flush siphonic closet More powerful performance is provided, the more conventional gravity flush siphonic closet has the injection channel full of air and must arrange Go out air with minimize turbulent flow and flowing limit, and also as a result, be preferably perfused closing injection fluid path and every From rim path contribute to better cleaning action and clean cycle.

The closestool urinal component 10 of the embodiment may include optional jetting manifold, be used for from injection valve outlet receiving stream Body and by fluid from injection valve outlet be delivered to injection ingress port and enter injection channel in.However, because jet path It is closed, the use of additional manifold areas is not necessary.Closed injection fluid path maintains injection channel permanently In perfusion state, air-isolation enters in the channel.This is achieved by：(1) make injection channel and edge gateway every From the water level of (2) in the flush cycle of standard in water tank closes injection channel punching before being down to the height of flushing valve opening Valve is washed, (3) prevent air-flow from entering one or more injection channels and any optional jetting manifold, and the step is in one embodiment In may include that water seal depth is set up in injection trap in the region of puddle so that barrier air enters injection channel outlet, And/or (4) configure and operate the component and do not dropped to ensure to spray the water level in trap and enable air when siphon is interrupted Enough back up the water level in injection channel.

In general, until the ratio of the volume of the fluid of the edge ingress port of closestool and the volume of the fluid to jet path Value also influences the performance of closestool.Routinely, in siphon jet type closestool, need about 70% flushing water dynamic to be provided for injection Power and startup siphon, only leave about 30% flushing water to clean urinal by limbic function.It is used in the component of this paper In preferred perfusion closestool, much less is wanted for starting the water needed for siphon, this allows more water to be used to clean just Pond.Applicant have determined that the flushing water more than about 50% or more can be directed to edge ingress port for significantly improving The cleaning of urinal.In a preferred embodiment, being more than about 65% water and be more than about 70% water in some cases can be with It is related to limbic function.

In addition to above-mentioned factor, another kind for maintain enough water seal depth in puddle and/or for prevent gas from It is to remain logical when siphon is interrupted in the normal developing operation except clean cycle that puddle, which flows back into the method in injection channel, It crosses and the slower flow from injection channel.For example, starting siphon when puddle is empty, by being exported with from injection channel The flowing of port should be greater than about 175ml/s, be about 747mm for sectional area²Typical jet exit port with about 23.4cm/ The speed of s is advanced.This data can be adjusted with the variation of jet exit port sizes, and in certain embodiments may be used To be up to 1100ml/s or more.The flowing should occur about 0.1 second to about 5 seconds.In order to generate the rainbow for flushing pollution discharge channel It inhales, while enough depth and/or prevention air still being maintained to enter jet exit port in the region of puddle, it is logical by spraying The flow in road should be about 950ml/s or up to about 1500ml/s, for identical injection tip outlet size and for averagely straight Speed is about 127cm/s for the drain outlet that diameter is about 2.125 inches.Flowing should usually last about 1s to about 5s, until Siphon terminate and the stable level in puddle until.

In various embodiments herein, it can be controlled for jet douche valve and rim wash valve by a variety of methods This flushing valve actuating.A kind of method is such as in U.S. Patent Application Publication No.2009/0313750 A1 and United States Patent (USP) No.6,823,535 (its relevant portion is incorporated herein by reference) are disclosed and description, by using solenoid valve.The valve Control method can also be completed by pure mechanical means, such as by modification to as in United States Patent (USP) No.6, and 704,945 Double entrance flushing valves disclosed in (its relevant portion is incorporated herein also by reference).Alternatively, can also use such as common It is being shown successively in pending U.S. Patent Application Publication No.2015/0197928 A1 and its related application, for obtaining two The bath actuator arm or bar of the balance of the optimum performance of flushing valve.It is in appropriate location in auto-flushing valve operating gear to mend In the case of repaying the weight of mechanism or adjusting to its operating member, this mechanism may or may not need adjustment to carry out effectively work Make.

Depth is rinsed after abundance in the region of puddle and/or water is prevented to enter closed injection stream by jet exit port Body path can also be by maintaining water to flow to the edge shelf in non-flanged closestool as shown here come real when siphon is interrupted It is existing.Since toilet system as described herein includes the channel detached and the valve machine for controlling the flowing for leading to edge and nozzle Structure, the system can be designed to continue to flow by edge ingress port during siphon is interrupted.To edge ingress port The water level that flow is preferably sufficient that in the region of puddle maintains the elevation-over of jet exit port, however is not enough to the row of maintenance Siphon in dirty channel.In this way, it can provide for maintaining the gasless safety addition of injection channel, reduction pair The dependence of water seal depth in the region of puddle.It should be noted that can be used to maintain water together by the flowing at nozzle and edge Cheat the abundant rear flushing depth in region.

Improved phase is provided compared with the prior art including this component of the cleaning system and closestool that work together Pass field be with less than 6.0 liters, be preferably lower than 4.8 liters and in some cases the bath volume of 2.0 liters of region it is efficient, Siphonic closet.The embodiment of the closestool urinal component of invention described herein can remain anticlogging while still reduce With excellent urinal cleaning is conveyed in the case of water, water consumption is currently rinsed every time in single flushing toiler or double flushing toiler components Closestool no more than 6.0 liters can usually block.Due to being greatly reduced with starting the water needed for siphon by injection channel, this Perfusion toilet assemblies embodiment in text can generate the closestool of very-high performance, can be no more than about 4.8 liters in each bath In the case of work, and in each bath can be preferably about 3.0 liters or below about 3.0 liters and every time bath down to about It works in the case of 2.0 liters.

In addition, the present invention provide compared with the prior art improved another related field be when with larger blowdown The siphonic closet in channel is used together.By changing the size of drain outlet, water consumption and closestool performance can significantly change. In the present invention, because of the limit of reduction and the flowing by the turbulent flow for the closed injection fluid path realization being perfused along jet path System, closestool urinal component herein can keep perfusion in the siphonic closet with various drain outlet sizes and volume, Flushing and cleaning ability to allow closestool urinal component to remain outstanding.

The system includes being configured to receive the internal fluid communication of the shell of reservoir and reservoir and with for out of reservoir It receives the feed line of the first end of fluid and the flow control apparatus of the flowing by feed line can be controlled.Also The control system activated by actuator feature portion is set, wherein when actuating actuator feature portion, control system is suitable for by such as Under type starts clean cycle：The flow control apparatus first segment time is operated, the first segment time is enough from reservoir to one Or the liquid cleaner of multiple edge egress conveying doses, and operate flushing valve in cleaning actuation patterns and rinsed with opening Valve, thus by the flushing water of the liquid cleaner with dose to be not enough to startup siphon but be enough to clean the flow of urinal lead to At least one edge egress port is crossed to be introduced into closestool urinal.

In the conventional toilet of such as direct injection, non-ejection closestool or Washdown type closestool, in cleaning actuation patterns, rinse Valve can be with than passing through the flow of flushing valve slowly about 20% to about 80% and preferably about 40% during normal developing pattern Flow to about 60% introduces flushing water.In addition, in rinsing actuation patterns, flushing water can about 2 seconds to about 30 seconds when Between enter valve in section.Flushing water and detergent can be introduced into urinal and with the stop for stopping about 30 seconds to about 30 minutes Time is for cleaning urinal.

In a specific embodiment of the component, urinal can directly feed injection, hydrocone type, gravity dynamic just Pond.Alternatively, the urinal can be edge feeding, injection hydrocone type urinal, non-ejection siphon gravity dynamic urinal or gravity dynamic Fling urinal.

In addition, in the alternate embodiments of the component, flushing valve can be had in valve deck for being activated in cleaning The baffle-type flushing valve in the lifting feature portion of valve is opened during pattern.Alternatively, flushing valve can be had for being activated in cleaning The baffle-type flushing valve of the hook card features of valve is opened during pattern.In yet another embodiment, flushing valve can be hoisting type Flushing valve, wherein hoisting type valve deck opens flushing valve in normal developing pattern and the flushing valve has side ports, the side Port has cap on it for opening valve during cleaning actuation patterns.

In addition to the preferred perfusion jet path at the edge and jet flow with separation above described in embodiment 10 Other than closestool, the design of cleaning system herein and method is readily applicable to the closestool of standard, be preferably adapted for for Reason described below has non-ejection or the hydrocone type or Washdown type closestool of edge feeding injection construction.

The most of closestool sold at present in North America and Asian market uses directly feeding injection urinal with complete obsolete It greatly removes.However, although the cleaning system of this paper can be adapted for this urinal, they are for obtaining strongest cleaning Effect is not preferred.The structure of this urinal is referred to explain its reason.Figure 29, Figure 29 A and Figure 29 B show existing skill The directly feeding injection of art, the example of siphon gravity water closet.As can be seen, entrance is flowed through into urinal I enters manifold M and scatter, and partly enters in edge gateway RC at edge entrance RI, partly enters in injection channel JC. The benefit of the Self-cleaning system of this paper includes following ability, that is, the ability is via extended water flowing that cleaning fluid is defeated It send to urinal to provide a degree of convolution action and turbulent flow rotary motion, the convolution action and turbulent flow rotary motion are just Detergent is used for mechanically and chemically both cleaning actions to provide in the substantially the entirety of or whole surface in pond.

This is carried the mixture of detergent and flushing water on required surface by with sufficiently high and provides required machinery It acts but is not enough to start the mixture of the rate addition detergent of siphon and flushing water to complete.The startup of siphon will cleaned Agent has the sufficient residence time to complete its practical cleaning and/or disinfection efficacy before by a large amount of detergent from urinal B bands Enter in discharge pipe line D.

In the direct-injection closestool DJT of the prior art shown in Figure 29, if flushing water and detergent are to be not enough to start The relatively low rate of siphon conveys, then most of flushing water will enter injection channel JC and be flowed by jet exit port JOP In puddle S and drain outlet TW.Injection channel is located at " descending " relative to manifold M and edge entrance RI so that gravity is by big portion In the water push-in injection channel divided.Insufficient water and detergent can be come in edge gateway RC and edge egress end is discharged Mouth ROP is to complete required cleaning action.When this direct-injection toilet system is rinsed with the specified full flow of its design, only about 30% flushing water passes through injection entrance to lead to injection channel JC and it is made to arrive at edge egress port, and this is only because coming from The flow of flushing valve just occurs beyond the maximum stream flow as obtained by injection channel and jet exit port, and water is caused to pass back into In injection channel and enter edge ingress port.Therefore, the cleaning system of this paper will likely send most detergent To puddle and drainpipe is discharged, the surface of the urinal above waterline can not be cleaned.Cleaning system herein can be with Suitable for the prior art as shown in figure 29 direct injection closestool or similar designs and be used therewith.However, in waterline The cleaning action of top will be effective unlike other closestool constructions discussed in this article.

The cleaning system of this paper can be adapted for other standard closestools being modified slightly as follows.As shown in figure 30, edge is presented In another embodiment for sending the injection system that urinal 1630 can be adapted for this paper, which is referred to as embodiment 1600. In embodiment 1600, the system of embodiment hereof is whole, including embodiment 10,300,400,500,700,800,900, 1200,1300,1400,1500,1900 and 2400 various valve shedding mechanisms, flushing actuator including motorized cams operate Alternative reservoir and other detergents introduce valve, can be used together with the toilet assemblies 1630 of the embodiment.Therefore, in addition to Closestool 1630 and its flushing valve as described below operation, only exist system transformation into the closestool for being sprayed used in standard edge In terms of difference in urinal component, remaining is characterized in identical.To a certain extent, urinal and valve can have modification, they It is as described herein.In edge feeds injection urinal, due to the geometry of closestool, Self-cleaning system can work well Make.Figure 30 shows typical edge feeding injection urinal, such as urinal 1630 (although can use the feeding design of other edges).Punching Wash water will be in this geometry by for flowing into main manifold from urinal entrance 16237 in a manner of known to this closestool urinal In 16238.Flowing is discharged into from main manifold in the open edge channel formed by upper hollow rim ingress port 1628.

As it is used herein, " the edge ingress port " in non-flanged design is such port, that is, flushing water passes through It is produced by the way that the inside (for example, along edge shelf 27 as described above in the above-described embodiments) of urinal can be surrounded the port The opening of raw swirling flow enters urinal region, or enters the conventional edge being formed about in the hollow periphery top edge of closestool Entrance in channel.This hollow rim for limiting edge gateway known in the prior art.There may be one or two to enter Mouth 1628, this is because flowing can only be worn by limiting the hollow rim 16239 in internal edge channel 16240 in one direction Go out manifold 16238 or two ports can be passed through along two opposite directions so that flowing is on every side of edge gateway The front of urinal is flowed to from the main manifold 16238 at the rear portion of urinal 1630.

Several outlet ports 16241 are formed in the edge in face of the inside of urinal 1,630 636.It this outlet can be whole There are for identical size or as needed some flushing actions of size bigger to obtain additional.

As the front of edge feeding injection urinal 1630 is arrived in flowing, flowing feeds the side of nozzle 16243 by edge Edge feeding, which sprays entrance 16242 and passes downwardly through nozzle 16243, arrives at edge feeding jet exit 16244.Therefore, water is from side Edge is entered urinal or entered by edge feeding jet exit 16243 by edge gateway outlet 16241 leads to drain outlet Puddle region in.

When it includes edge feeding injection urinal 1630 that cleaning system herein, which is configured to, a greater amount of detergents and punching Wash water will enter urinal by edge by outlet 16241 so that less water is introduced into puddle and drain outlet.Therefore, such as Fruit controls the release of flow and valve as described below, then can obtain the sufficient residence time, to allow to feed standard edge Embodiment 10,300,400,500,700,800,900,1200,1300,1400,1500,1900 and 2400 on urinal 1630 Any of cleaning system well function.

Typical non-ejection gravity dynamic urinal has structure similar with edge as shown in Figure 30 feeding injection urinal It makes, other than edge gateway keeps solid and edge nozzle is not present.Urinal maintains solid wall in its front, from edge Puddle is extended to not spray.This non-ejection urinal can also well function together with cleaning system herein, In all flushing water hollow rim must be discharged by one or more edge egress ports (such as urinal 1630 upper Shown in face).In this type of design, also more generally one or more of edge egress port will go out than typical edge Mouth port in the front of urinal in desired position greatly to be usually provided about the flushing water of greater flow, thus will be stronger Rinse the entrance that flow leads to the drain outlet of urinal in a manner of imitating jet-action urinal.With hydrocone type non-ejection urinal class Seemingly, there is also have from be typically relative to drain outlet and edge egress have slightly different closestool geometries, be referred to as it is straight Rush the similar urinal of formula urinal.Washdown type urinal usually has similar structure with non-ejection hydrocone type urinal, in addition to blowdown is logical Road is not designed to support other than siphon.The sectional area of the drain outlet of Washdown type closestool is usually larger, and for wall and Floor outlet device is usually respectively provided with relatively simple P-well or S- trap geometries.Instead of the biography with multiple outlet ports It unites edge, they are normally constructed to have logical extrorse open downside to allow to enter in urinal with more high flow capacity and higher Effect ground carries the weir that waste crosses drain outlet.

Installation of the cleaning system described herein above in edge injection, non-ejection or Washdown type standard closestool is compared at it It is more effective in its standard toilet designs, this is because detergent and flushing water can be from edge egress port (or open edges) With the amount of bigger lead on the surface of urinal for cleaning and less amount be wasted in drain outlet and puddle region.

Such as this traditional urinal and embodiment and United States Patent (USP) such as in front of this cleaning system for being conducive to this paper That is described in detail in 2015/0197928 A1 of Shen Qing Publication No.US has the perfusion manifold urinal of the jet path of isolation not Together, when detergent is introduced into urinal by edge, it is necessary to take into account to the edge and jet path that lack isolation and separation Edge and injection valve, as now in most this standard urinals only by fluid lead to manifold and/or edge gateway with Single flushing valve for introducing urinal.

In order to avoid starting siphonic effect in edge feeding injection or non-ejection urinal or avoiding in Washdown type closestool In stronger flushing, need to introduce flushing water and detergent with lower flow.Otherwise, rinse can be for this siphon or power It completes prematurely to take excessive detergent out of urinal by trap before expected cleaning action.Also more it is important that cleaning Flushing valve is set to keep opening within the duration longer than conventional flush during cycle.This is set by providing the flushing valve of modification Meter realized with obtaining lower rate and longer clean cycle residence time when clean cycle starts, this will be not suitable for Standard flush valve in standard closestool works together.Standard flush valve has a variety of configurations, includes the gear with hinged cover gab Plate lid valve or the poppet for upward buoyance lift cap or housing with central axis.

The valve of modification will be with reference to first for being used in the embodiment using the edge feeding injection urinal 1600 of Figure 30 Flushing valve 16245 is explained further, although it will be appreciated that other type standard urinals (such as Washdown type or non-ejection urinal) also may be used To use the flushing valve changed as described herein 16245.In this way, embodiment 1600 includes in closestool 1600 and Figure 31 and Figure 32 Shown in flushing valve combination, wherein the valve is respectively in closed position and open position.Such as institute in Figure 31 and Figure 32 Show, flushing valve 16245 has the valve body 16246 for being seated at the opening in water tank 1660, and the water tank 1660 can be with this paper's As water tank 60 in embodiment 10.There is valve 16245 shutter 16247, the shutter 16247 to have as described below carry Rise features.Lid 16247 is in being hinged on overflow pipe 16249 (overflow pipe can be similar with overflow pipe 190 above-mentioned) Valve body 16246 is connected at holder 16248.Lifting feature portion 16250 there is guide rod 16251 or other coaxial guide frames so that It can be moved back and forth by limiting the guide ring 16252 of the opening 16253 for receiving guide rod 16251.The end ruler of guide rod Very little larger and/or guide rod be configured with prevent guide rod 16251 when moving upwards completely from guide ring 16252 deviate from and with lid The stop feature portion 16254 of 16247 separation.

When promotion actuating chain C2 is pulled upwardly, lifting feature portion 16250 moves upwards, and opens when against lid 16247 It is elevated the region that features 16250 are blocked.To be enough to carry cleaning fluid, (cleaning fluid can for example pass through overflow to water Pipe 16249 introduces) and entered without starting the rate of siphon using the cleaning action needed for the completion of the cleaning system of this paper.Chain C2 is attached to the top in lifting feature portion 16250 by chain, lock ring or similar characteristics.

When completing clean cycle and also needing to conventional flushing, rinsing actuator will be in the chain being attached at chain 16255 C1 is upper will to be pulled up and be pulled upwardly entire lid 16247 to allow water from water tank 60 by crossing over the larger of valve inner Valve inlet opening enter and obtain the flow for being sufficiently great to initiate the siphon acted for normal developing.

In another embodiment of the flushing valve for being used for the standard closestool, as shown in embodiment 1600, It is shown in Figure 33 and Figure 34 for another alternative valve in the system with this closestool and is identified as reality Apply example 1700.It should be noted that the valve is explained with reference to closestool 1600, but it can be in above-mentioned standard closestool Any one is used.Embodiment 1600,1700 (and following 1800) can use as described above in embodiment 10 or herein Other embodiments such as 200,300,400,500,700,800,900,1200,1300,1400,1500,1900 and of embodiment Any of system, mechanical part and method and step of cleaning system described in 2400, the difference is that embodiment The 1600 and 1700 normal gravity power hydrocone type or Washdown type closestool, especially non-ejection, side using one or more types Edge sprays or Washdown type closestool, and therefore using the valve changed as described herein, has the edge being isolated with wherein closestool With jet flow with perfusion jet path preceding embodiment described in closestool 10 and its modification it is different.

In the valve 1700 of Figure 33 and Figure 34, valve 17256 is shown with shutter, and the shutter has sphere and hook Card features.There is the valve body 17257 being illustrated in cross-section, the valve body 17257 to have stratiform, substantially justify for flushing valve 17256 The inside of tubular and fillet entrance 17258.Shutter 17259 has the sphere 17260 floated for being operated in conventional flush It is middle to be lifted and float flushing valve.Lid 17259 is on overflow pipe 17262 (it can be similar with other overflow pipes as described herein) Valve body 17257 is attached at articulated stand 17261.In the shutter 17259 opposite with the side of shutter articulated stand 17261 Another hook articulated stand 17263 is set on first front end 17264.
