Abstract

The present invention discloses a kind of water storage tank, and it has a reduction portion or groove (14), around the trailing edge extension of end face (16) and two sides (12).The back of water storage tank is installed on the wall, and this groove produces a kind of parablepsia phenomenon, makes size on the front and back side direction of the water storage tank of feeling less than its in esse size.

Description

A kind of water storage tank

The present invention relates to a kind of water storage tank or wc flushing cistern, relate in particular to a kind of have can commercially available outward appearance water storage tank.

In recent years, bath equipment, the development trend that comprises toilet assemblies is design " slender " goods (slimline).This is because market survey and purchase trending have pointed out that this slender bath equipment goods are more welcome in the middle of general public.

The maximum volume of the wash water in the water storage tank is stayed in storage, because the needs of water saving are reduced.Various administration tube mechanism changes rules, has reflected the needs of this water saving.But flushing machine occupied size or the volume in water storage tank in the water storage tank can not reduce easily.Therefore, there is a minimum dimension and/or a capacity that is used for not only satisfying wash water but also satisfies the needs of flushing machine usually.Consideration condition on these engineerings is opposed with the market demands to slender goods.

Equally, when the capacity of water storage tank was reduced, the relative scale relation that of feeling of water storage tank must keep, and makes water storage tank have roughly normal face shaping.The height of water storage tank and width can be conditioned than being easier to, and the front and back size of water storage tank also needs to adapt to the size of flushing machine.

The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of water storage tank, this water storage tank has slender outward appearance, can also fully adapt to the needs of the wash water of flushing machine and capacity required.

According to an aspect of the present invention, a kind of water storage tank is disclosed, comprise a front, an end face, a bottom surface, a back and two sides, this water storage tank is installed against wall with described back, it is characterized in that being provided with continuous recess, extend around the two sides of water storage tank and the trailing edge of end face, make and observed from its front upper place or from the left side or during the fluoroscopic observation of right side at water storage tank, owing to have groove, the water storage tank that the observer sees, the size before and after it on side direction is less than its real size.

Preferably water storage tank has the front that a relative vertical plane inwardly becomes cambered surface, further increases its ornamental.Water storage tank preferably is connected with the toilet seats basin is close.

A preferred embodiment of the present invention is described with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:

Fig. 1 illustrates the preceding left side perspective view of the toilet assemblies of the water storage tank that preferred embodiment of the present invention is housed;

Fig. 2 illustrates the lateral view of this toilet assemblies;

Fig. 3 illustrates the vertical view of this toilet assemblies;

Fig. 4 is the rear view of this water storage tank.

Fig. 1 illustrates a toilet assemblies 100 that is installed on the floor.This toilet assemblies 100 comprises three basic building blocks, i.e. water storage tank 10, seat basin 30 and base plate assembly 40.Toilet assemblies 100 has conventional configuration, and the back of its water storage tank 10 is against wall 50.It is hidden that the flushing of water storage tank 10 outlet is bridged part 26, and this bridgeware 26 Connection Block basins 30 and water storage tank 10 provide the outward appearance of attracting aesthetics.

Water storage tank 10 also comprises two sides 12 and a bottom surface 20.Its front 22 relative vertical planes inwardly become cambered surface.This increases aesthetic outward appearance to the integral body of toilet assemblies 100 equally.End face 16 is housed on the top of side 12 and front 22.Be installed in the end face 16 is two flushing operation buttons 18.Flushing machine is hidden in the water storage tank 10, and the yardstick on the capacity of this water storage tank 10 and the front and back side direction thereof is enough to adapt to the needs that flushing machine reaches the capacity that washes required wash water fully.

Also be provided with continuous groove or reduction portion 14 on the water storage tank 10, around the trailing edge extension of water storage tank, this can see from Fig. 2,3 and 4.This groove is actually the part of a reduction, around the trailing edge extension of side 12 and end face 16.Groove 14 preferably has roughly L shaped shape, and remains unchanged on its whole length.

Reduction on the bottom surface 20 is dispensable, only needs reduction on side 12 and end face 16, and this under normal circumstances is not to go to observe from any angle because of water storage tank 10, and wherein bottom surface 20 is sightless.

For an observer, observe water storage tank (as shown in Figure 2) from the position of top, water storage tank front, perhaps observe water storage tank (as shown in figures 1 and 3) from the perspective view on water storage tank left side or right side, size on the front and back side direction of water storage tank seems to be less than its actual size.Shown in Fig. 2, be of a size of " X " on the front and back side direction that the observer sees, and actual being of a size of " Y ", the distance shown in the size " Y " is greater than size " X ".Causing of this " parablepsia " phenomenon is because groove 14 can not be seen, thus full-scale being covered on the front and back side direction of water storage tank, as shown in fig. 1.What the observer felt is a kind of illusion effect, and this has promoted the slender profile of water storage tank 10, although this water storage tank 10 is to be made with the needs of enough sizes with the capacity that adapts to wash water and flushing machine.

The degree of taper may of groove 14 is changed, and this depends on the scope (can obviously find out) of observer's average height from Fig. 2.Under any circumstance, reduction program does not need big to obtaining significant illusion effect.Because most water storage tanks are made by plastic material, the moulded parts that therefore will produce the remodeling that has groove 14 is a very simple thing.

The invention provides a kind of solution of economy, can overcome the contradiction that the antagonism interests between market interest and the project engineering consideration condition exist.

Should be appreciated that those of ordinary skills can make various modifications and variations under the situation that does not break away from wide inventive concept of the present invention.All these improve and modification all is considered to fall within the scope of the present invention.
