Description

Environment-friendly closestool

Technical Field

The present invention relates to an eco-friendly toilet bowl, and more particularly, to an eco-friendly toilet bowl which can mix organic matters such as sawdust with user's excrement and convert the mixture into natural compost.

Background

International concern about water resource exhaustion is increasing, and korea also proposes various measures from the government level to save water for the citizens. As such, people are increasingly aware of the necessity of saving water resources, and thus various solutions for saving water resources are being researched.

In order to save water resources, attempts have been made to reduce the amount of water consumed in a toilet bowl of a toilet, or waterless toilets have been developed and used.

For example, there is a method of simply storing feces and urine without a washing process with water and collecting them to a predetermined amount or more and then discarding them, but this method has a problem that it is difficult to cope with malodor and putrefaction.

On the other hand, there is a method of drying the feces and urine using natural drying or an incinerator connected to a toilet, but the above method has disadvantages in that it takes a long time in the case of natural drying and a large amount of energy is required to perform high-temperature treatment in the case of using the incinerator.

Referring to fig. 1 to 7, an eco-friendly toilet 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a stool part 10, a flow fan 21, a collection part 30, a flow part operating unit 40, and a base part 50.

First, the toilet section 10 is configured to be rotated in a horizontal direction with respect to a base section 40 described later, and includes a toilet seat 11, a handrail 13, a lid member 15, and a toilet main body 17, so that a user can sit thereon for a toilet movement.

The toilet seat 11 is coupled to an upper end portion of a toilet main body 17 described later, and is used for a user to sit thereon, and forms a defecation hole 11a for allowing defecation to enter a space portion 17a of the toilet main body 17 described later when performing defecation. That is, the toilet seat 11 has the toilet hole 11a formed to penetrate vertically.

The armrests 13 are provided on the upper surface of the toilet seat at both sides of the defecation hole 11a, and when a user seated on the toilet seat 11 rotates the defecation part 10 at a predetermined angle during defecation, the user can lean on the arms or hold the toilet seat with hands.

One end of the lid member 15 is rotatably coupled to the upper surface of the toilet seat 11 at the rear side of a user seated on the toilet seat 11. That is, when the lid member 15 is erected vertically with respect to the toilet seat 11, the lower end of the lid member 15 is hinge-coupled to the upper surface of the toilet seat 11, and when it is in a horizontal state by being rotated, it can cover the defecation hole 11a of the toilet seat 11.

The toilet body 17 is in a container shape opened at the upper part and having a space part 17a inside, and is combined with the lower surface of the toilet seat 11 to rotate together with the toilet seat 11. A guide funnel 23, which will be described later, is rotatably coupled to a center portion of the toilet main body 17 to discharge stool together with natural organic matter, and has a discharge hole through which stool can be discharged.

Among them, as natural organic materials, organic materials which can be decomposed in a natural state and used as compost can be used, and as an example, sawdust is used.

The flow part 20 is rotatably provided in the space part 17a of the toilet body 17, and when the stool is discharged through the discharge hole of the stool part 10, the natural organic substances of the stool part 10 are discharged together with the stool by flowing the natural organic substances and supplying the natural organic substances to the discharge hole, and the flow part 20 includes a flow fan 21 and a guide funnel 23.

The flow fan 21 is rotatably installed to stir the natural organic materials contained in the space portion 17a to be rapidly discharged through the discharge hole together with the user's stool, and the flow fan 21 is more rapidly rotated with respect to the stool portion 10 by a flow portion operating unit 40 to be described later. The flow fan 21 is composed of a plurality of blades, and is fixed to the outer periphery of a material guide bucket 23 described later to rotate together with the material guide bucket 23.

The guide hopper 23 is formed in a cylindrical shape with upper and lower openings, is rotatably installed in the discharge hole of the toilet main body 17, and is combined with a flow part operating unit 40, which will be described later, to more rapidly rotate with respect to the toilet main body 17 and discharge the user's stool together with the natural organic matter toward a collecting part 30, which will be described later. An inclined portion having an inner diameter greater than that of the guide hopper 23 is provided at an upper end portion of the guide hopper 23 so that the stool mixed with the natural organic matter (hereinafter, referred to as "mixed stool") easily passes through the center of the guide hopper 23. Wherein mixed defecation may be referred to as composting.

The guide hopper 23 includes a coupling portion inside thereof to which a flow portion operating unit 40 described later is coupled. The coupling portion is formed of a coupling boss 23b having a coupling hole provided at the center of the inner side of the material guide 23.

The coupling portion may be coupled to an inner circumferential surface of the guide hopper 23 by a spiral blade 23 c. When the guide hopper 23 rotates, the spiral blades 23c rotate together to rapidly lower and discharge the mixed excrement discharged through the inside of the guide hopper 23.

The collecting part 30 is coupled to a lower portion of the toilet body 17 to be rotatable together with the toilet body 17, has a collecting space 35 for collecting mixed excrement discharged through the inside of the guide hopper 23, and includes a lower collecting case 31, an upper collecting case 33, and an excrement discharge part 37.

The lower collecting case 31 is formed by joining a side surface portion of a predetermined height to the edge of the disk member, and has a wide container shape with an open upper portion. A hole for inserting a rotation shaft 45d of a driven gear portion 45 described later is formed in the center of the lower collection case 31.

The upper collecting case 33 is in the form of a wide container with an open lower portion, and is formed by joining a side surface portion of a predetermined height to the edge of the disk member facing downward. That is, the upper collection casing 33 has an inverted shape of the lower collection casing 31.

Therefore, a collection space 35 for collecting the mixed stools is formed by combining the side surface portions of the upper collection case 33 and the lower collection case 31. That is, the upper collecting housing 33 is combined with the lower collecting housing 31 by covering the upper portion of the lower collecting housing 31, thereby forming the collecting space 35 inside.

The upper collecting case 33 has a communication hole 33a communicating with the inside of the guide hopper 23 at the center to be able to receive the mixed stool discharged from the guide hopper 23. The communication hole 33a may be formed in an open state, or may be opened and closed by slidably having a separate cover 33 b.

Wherein the cover 33b can be operated by a separate sliding unit (not shown). The sliding unit may be constituted by a cylinder that linearly moves the cover 33 b. And, the sliding unit may include: a nut member coupled to a lower portion of the cover 33 b; a screw member having a screw thread at an outer periphery thereof to be screw-coupled with the nut member; and a handle for enabling a user to rotate the screw member. Among them, any slide unit that can linearly reciprocate the cover 33b may be used. In the cover 33b, an avoidance slit 33c that prevents interference with the rotating shaft 45d during sliding opening and closing of the cover 33b is formed so as to be long along the sliding direction of the cover 33 b.

The drain discharge portion 37 is for discharging mixed drain (compost) collected in the collection space 35 between the upper collection casing 33 and the lower collection casing 31, and includes a drain hole 37a and a drain protrusion.

The discharge hole 37a is formed at the bottom of the lower collection case 31 at a position spaced apart from the central portion by a predetermined distance.

The discharge protrusion is formed to protrude downward from the edge of the discharge hole 37a in the lower side of the lower collection housing 31, and is in a cylindrical shape to discharge the mixed waste collected in the collection space 35 to the outside.

The flow portion operating unit 40 is rotatably provided at a lower side of the collecting portion 30, and when a user sits on the stool discharging portion 10 and rotates the stool discharging portion 10, the flow portion operating unit 40 for rotating the flow fan 21 of the flow portion 20 more rapidly with respect to the stool discharging portion 10 includes a pressing ratchet portion 41, a driving gear 43, a driven gear portion 45, and a rotating shaft 45 d.

The pressing ratchet part 41 is coupled to a lower surface of the lower collection case 31 of the collection part 30, rotates together with the collection part 30, and rotates by applying pressure to a drive gear 43 (described later) in one direction (clockwise or counterclockwise), and includes a ratchet case, a ratchet 41a, an elastic member, and a ratchet fixing lever.

The ratchet wheel 41a is coupled to the lower surface of the lower collection case 31 so as to be reciprocally rotated within a predetermined angular range. The ratchet wheel 41a has protrusions in a saw-tooth shape protruding toward external teeth of a drive gear 43 described later. Specifically, the ratchet wheel 41a has protrusions protruding in a zigzag manner at both front end portions.

The ratchet 41a is configured such that protrusions in a saw-tooth shape are spaced apart from the external teeth of the drive gear 43, and when the ratchet fixing lever is rotated in one direction (clockwise or counterclockwise), the protrusions at one end of the both ends are locked to the external teeth of the drive gear 43.

One side of the projection of the ratchet wheel 41a is formed as a vertical surface, and the other side is formed as an inclined surface so that, when the external teeth of the drive gear 43 are locked, the lock is in a state of being locked in one direction and the slip is in a state of being slid in the other direction along the rotation direction of the collecting portion 30.

This is because when the user rotates the collecting unit 30 in the clockwise direction, the projection at the one end portion of the ratchet gear 41a can rotate the drive gear 43 in the clockwise direction, which is the same as the rotation direction of the collecting unit 30, by applying pressure to the external teeth of the drive gear 43, but when the collecting unit 30 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction, the projection at the one end portion of the ratchet gear 41a slides with respect to the external teeth of the drive gear 43.

In this case, when the user rotates the collecting unit 30 counterclockwise, if the user wants to rotate the collecting unit 30 counterclockwise by applying pressure to the drive gear 43, the ratchet fixing lever needs to be actuated to lock the projection of the other end portion of the ratchet 41a to the external teeth of the drive gear 43. The ratchet wheel 41a is elastically supported by an elastic member, and the projection is locked to the external teeth of the drive gear 43.

The drive gear 43 is rotatably provided on the lower side of the collecting portion 30, and is constituted by a ring gear having internal teeth and external teeth formed on the inner surface and the outer surface, respectively.

The driven gear part 45 is connected to the driving gear 43, and when the user rotates the stool discharging part 10, the flowing fan 21 is rotated at a speed faster than the rotation speed of the stool discharging part 10 by increasing the rotation speed of the driving gear 43, and includes a first planetary gear 45a, a second planetary gear 45b, and a sun gear 45 c.

The first planetary gears 45a are inserted into the drive gear 43 and mesh with the internal teeth of the drive gear 43 to verify the movement of the inner circumferential surface of the drive gear 43 and rotate, and one or more first planetary gears 45a are formed.

The second planetary gear 45b is provided below the first planetary gear 45a, has the same central axis as that of the second planetary gear 45b, and rotates together with the first planetary gear 45 a. Specifically, the second planetary gear 45b engages with external teeth of a sun gear 45c described later to rotate the sun gear 45 c. The second planetary gears 45b are provided on the lower side of the first planetary gears 45a to rotate together with the first planetary gears 45a, and are configured in the same number as the first planetary gears 45 a.

Here, it is preferable that the second planetary gear 45b is larger than the first planetary gear 45a so that the sun gear 45c engaged with the second planetary gear 45b can be rotated at a speed faster than the rotation speed of the first planetary gear 45 a.

The sun gear 45c is fixed to a lower portion of a rotating shaft 45d described later, and is rotated by being engaged with the second planetary gear 45 b.

Therefore, when the user rotates the defecation part 10 at a predetermined angle, the driven gear part 45 increases the number of rotations of the defecation part 10 to rotate the flow fan 21 more than once, and therefore, it is preferable that the gear ratio of the second planetary gear 45b is made larger than that of the sun gear 45c, so that the number of rotations of the flow fan 21 can be greatly increased.

The rotation shaft 45d rotates the flow fan 21 at the increased number of revolutions by connecting the driven gear part 45 for increasing the number of revolutions and the flow fan 21. Specifically, the flow fan 21 is fixed to an upper end of the rotation shaft 45d, and the sun gear 45c of the driven gear portion 45 is fixed to the rotation shaft 45d in a lower side of the flow fan 21.

The base unit 50 is provided below the toilet unit 10 and supports the rotation of the toilet unit 10 with respect to the floor surface, and includes a lower base 51, an upper base 52, and a toilet unit rotation support unit 55.

The lower base 51 is supported by the floor surface, and forms a space between the lower base and the floor surface, in which the excrement discharged by the discharge protrusion can be treated. Specifically, the lower base 51 has an opening at the lower part, a plate-like upper surface, and a space at the lower part. The lower base 51 may also include a separate support member that is supported relative to the ground.

The lower surface of the upper base 52 is completely closely attached to the upper surface of the lower base 51, and the upper base 52 has a dish shape with an open upper portion, and has a space for installing the flow portion operating unit 40 on the upper side. The inner space of the upper base 52 becomes smaller as it gets closer to the upper portion. Specifically, the inner diameter of the upper base 52 becomes smaller as it approaches the inlet from the bottom of the inner space.

A guide hole 54 is formed in a lower surface of the upper base 52 and an upper surface of the lower base 51, and the guide hole 54 is used to insert a discharge protrusion formed in the lower collection case 31 of the toilet stool 10, protrude into a space provided at a lower side of the lower base 51, and move the discharge protrusion when the toilet stool 10 rotates.

When the user rotates the toilet portion 10, the guide hole 54 is formed in an arc shape within a predetermined angular range to restrict the rotation angle of the toilet portion 10 so as to prevent the rotation by a predetermined angle or more.

The toilet section rotating support section 55 supports the toilet section 10 so that the toilet section 10 can rotate with respect to the base section 50, and includes a plurality of rollers 55b and a plurality of setting brackets 55 a. Specifically, the toilet section rotating support section 55 supports the lower surface of the lower collection case 31 of the toilet section 10 so that the lower surface of the lower collection case 31 of the toilet section 10 can rotate with respect to the inner space of the upper base 52 of the base section 50.

The plurality of installation brackets 55a are provided at predetermined angular intervals at the edge of the bottom of the inner space of the upper base 52. Here, the set holder 55a may be formed of 3 or more pieces that can be arranged at intervals of 120 degrees in order to stably support the lower surface of the lower collection case 31 of the defecation part 10.

The rollers 55b are rotatably combined with the setting brackets 55a and are constituted in the same number as the number of the setting brackets 55a, and are rotated by being in contact with the lower surface of the lower collection case 31 of the stool part 10.

Among them, it is preferable that the setting bracket 55a is provided at the bottom edge when being provided at the inner space of the upper base 52, so that a part of the setting bracket 55a is not seen when viewed from the upper side of the upper base 52 and only a part combined with the roller 55b is exposed.

Preferably, in the toilet section rotating support section 55, a plurality of setting brackets 55a and rollers 55b are arranged spaced from each other on the same circumference. Among them, it is preferable that 7 to 8 rollers 55b are provided to be able to stably support the rotation of the toilet section 10.

On the other hand, a compost discharge acceleration portion 60 may be further provided between the flow portion operating unit 40 and the excrement discharge portion 37, the compost discharge acceleration portion 60 being for pushing out the compost material so that the compost can be more rapidly discharged through the discharge protrusion.

The compost discharge acceleration portion 60 is rotatably combined with the discharge protrusion of the lower collection casing 31 and internally includes: a discharge rotating body 61 having discharge blades 61 a; a first gear 63 for discharge coupled to the rotary shaft 45d of the flow portion operating unit 40; and an annular second discharge gear 65 fixed to the outer periphery of the lower end of the discharge rotating body 61 and rotating by meshing with the first discharge gear 63.

A second discharge gear 65 rotated by the first discharge gear 63 is fixed to a lower end of the rotary discharge body 61, and the rotary discharge body 61 rotates at the same rotational speed as the second discharge gear 65 by the first discharge gear 63 rotating in conjunction with the rotary shaft. In this case, the first discharge gear 65 is fixed to the lower side of the sun gear 45c and rotates together with the rotary shaft 45d when being coupled to the rotary shaft 45 d. Therefore, the sun gear 45c, the rotary shaft 45d, and the first discharge gear 63 all rotate together at the same speed.

On the other hand, the eco-toilet 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention may be disposed adjacent to the toilet main body 17 of the toilet stool 10, and may further include an organic matter supply part 70 for separately storing natural organic matters and supplying the natural organic matters to the space part 17a of the toilet main body 17.

The organic substance supply unit 70 contains organic substances, i.e., natural organic substances, and supplies the contained organic substances into the toilet main body 17 of the toilet unit 10, and includes an organic substance containing body 71, an organic substance supply member 73, and a supply member operating unit 75.

The organic matter accommodating body 71 is in a cylindrical state with an upper opening for accommodating organic matter and a lower portion supported by the floor. The organic matter accommodating body 71 may be supported with respect to the ground by a separate support frame.

The organic material storage body 71 protrudes toward the toilet 1 side, and a support frame 71a for supporting is provided on the outer surface of the base 50. The support frame 71a is formed in an arc shape so as to have a concave curved surface corresponding to the outer surface of the protruding base portion 50, so as to be closely attached to the outer surface of the base portion 50.

The inside space of the organic matter accommodating body 71 can be divided horizontally by a separate sliding member, so that the organic matter accommodating body 71 is composed of an upper storage part and a lower storage part. Specifically, a separate sliding member is movably provided in an inner space of the organic matter accommodating body 71, thereby adjusting a supply amount of the natural organic matter stored in the upper storage part to move to the lower storage part. That is, the user can adjust the amount of natural organic substances supplied from the upper storage unit to the lower storage unit by manually or automatically adjusting the opening/closing amount of the sliding member.

The organic matter accommodating body 71 has a supply guide 71b protruding toward the toilet main body 17. Further, a receiving guide 17b corresponding to the supply guide 71b is provided on the toilet main body 17 toward the organic matter accommodating body 71. Therefore, the organic matter accommodating body 71 and the toilet main body 17 are connected so that the supply guide 71b communicates with the receiving guide 17b, thereby supplying natural organic matter contained in the organic matter accommodating body 71 to the inside of the toilet main body 17.

The organic substance supply member 73 is rotatably provided inside the organic substance storage body 71 to supply the organic substances stored in the organic substance storage body 71 into the toilet main body 17 of the toilet. The organic substance supply member 73 is configured to supply organic substances by pushing the organic substances into the toilet main body 17 while rotating, and may be a propeller-shaped member, that is, a rotary fan.

When the user rotates the toilet section 10, the supply member operating unit 75 rotates the organic material supply member 73 in conjunction with the supply member operating unit 75, and the supply member operating unit 75 includes a supply section operating gear portion 75a, a lower clutch gear 75b, an upper clutch gear 75c, and a supply member rotating gear portion 75 d.

The supply portion operating gear portion 75a has gear teeth protruding in an arc shape at a set angle on the outer circumference of the toilet bowl main body 17 of the toilet stool portion 10. The supply section operation gear section 75a is provided at a part of the outer periphery of the toilet main body 17 and is formed toward the organic matter accommodating main body 71. The supply portion operation gear portion 75a may be integrally formed on the outer peripheral surface of the toilet bowl main body 17.

The lower clutch gear 75b partially protrudes outward from the inside of the organic material storage body 71 by passing through a gear through hole formed in the organic material storage body 71, and is engaged with and rotated by the supply portion operation gear portion 75 a. Specifically, the lower clutch gear 75b is engaged with the supply portion operation gear 75a to rotate, and when the user rotates the toilet portion 10 in the clockwise direction or the counterclockwise direction, the lower clutch gear 75b rotates back and forth within a predetermined angular range in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the toilet main body 17.

One-way gear teeth inclined in one direction are provided on an upper surface of the lower clutch gear 75b to transmit only one-way rotation to the upper clutch gear 75 c. Wherein the one-way gear teeth are formed of a plurality of gear teeth whose inclined surfaces are all formed to face the same direction. Among the unidirectional gear teeth configured of a plurality of gear teeth having inclined surfaces in the same direction, the inclined surfaces of the gear teeth may be formed toward one of a clockwise direction or a counterclockwise direction.

The upper clutch gear 75c is engaged with the lower clutch gear 75b to rotate only in one direction, and transmits unidirectional rotation to a supply member rotating gear 75d described later. The upper clutch gear 75c is rotatably provided on an upper side of the lower clutch gear 75b, and is provided at a lower surface with another one-way gear tooth selectively engaged with the one-way gear tooth of the lower clutch gear 75 b. Specifically, in the upper clutch gear 75c, the one-way gear teeth formed on the lower face may mesh with the one-way gear teeth of the lower clutch gear 75b toward one direction and slip toward the other direction. For example, when the lower clutch gear 75b rotates in the clockwise direction, if the one-way gear teeth of the lower clutch gear 75b are engaged with the one-way gear teeth of the upper clutch gear 75c, the upper clutch gear 75c also rotates in the clockwise direction when the lower clutch gear 75b rotates in the clockwise direction.

The supply member rotating gear 75d rotates while meshing with the outer periphery of the upper clutch gear 75c, and the rotation axis thereof is connected to the center of the organic substance supply member 73 to rotate the organic substance supply member 73 in one direction. The supply member rotating gear portion 75d may be constituted by a spur gear meshed with the outer periphery of the upper clutch gear 75 c. The supply member rotation gear portion 75d and the organic substance supply member 73 are coaxially connected by the same shaft member, and when the supply member rotation gear portion 75d rotates, the organic substance supply member 73 is also rotated together.

The supply part operating unit 75 may further include: an elastic support body 77 that elastically supports the upper clutch gear 75c so as to apply pressure to the upper clutch gear 75c toward the lower clutch gear 75 b; and a shift member 79, which is hinge-coupled to the organic matter accommodating body 71 at a center portion thereof, has one end selectively interposed between the upper clutch gear 75c and the lower clutch gear 75b, and adjusts engagement between the upper clutch gear 75c and the lower clutch gear 75 b.

The elastic support 77 elastically supports the upper clutch gear 75c with respect to the organic matter accommodating body 71, and may be formed of a coil spring having an elastic force that presses the upper clutch gear 75c toward the lower clutch gear 75 b.

In the shift member 79, one end portion of a substantially "U" shape is inserted between the upper clutch gear 75c and the lower clutch gear 75 b. In the shift member 79, the one end portion is tilted upward or moved downward by the vertical rotation of the other end portion about the hinge portion coupled to the hinge. Therefore, the shift member 79 can engage or disengage the upper clutch gear 75c with or from the lower clutch gear 75b by moving up and down one end portion thereof.

As in the case where the space portion 17a in the toilet main body 17 of the toilet section 10 receives sufficient natural organic matters, it may be necessary to prevent the natural organic matters from being additionally supplied through the organic matter supply section 70. In this case, the user may rotate the toilet 10 in one direction after disengaging the engagement between the upper clutch gear 75c and the lower clutch gear 75b by moving the shift member 79 in a downward direction.
