Description
- The present invention generally relates to a toilet bowl, and more specifically, to a variable water sealed toilet bowl.
- The water seal device of the traditional toilet bowl is a fixed bending sewage draining passage with deeper water storage, including an upper chamber, a lower chamber, an upper chamber outlet and a lower chamber outlet. Although the waterseal in the bending passage of the lower chamber seals the smell, a resulted high water resistance decreases the flush effect significantly and results in wasting water badly; meanwhile, the larger curvature of the sewage draining passage leads to an increased waster resistance, thereby the sewage tends to stagnate in it, or worse, jamming the passage and rendering the toilet bowl out of work.
- Aiming at solving the deficiency of the prior art, the present invention provides a variable water sealed toilet bowl, which is equipped with a tiltable sewage draining passage enabling the change in the height of the waterseal: at other times the waterseal is high that providing a more desirable blocking effect, when it is flushing, the height of waterseal can be lowered and has the effect of reducing the flush resistance and saving the water for flush.
- A variable water sealed toilet bowl, comprising an upper chamber, a lower chamber, an upper chamber outlet, and a lower chamber outlet, wherein it's equipped with a tiltable sewage draining passage; the tiltable sewage draining passage is mounted on a supporting axle or supporting hole, its lower end surrounding the upper chamber outlet and its higher end that can lower and reset automatically leading to the lower chamber outlet, and the reset device of tiltable sewage draining passage is also equipped.
- The tiltable sewage draining passage mentioned above may be rotated around the supporting axle, the upper limit of the rotation is the higher position of the tiltable sewage draining passage; and the lower limit of the rotation is the lower position of the tiltable sewage draining passage. At other times, the tiltable sewage draining passage is kept at the higher position by the reset device, thus the waterseal is high; when it is flushing, owing to the current, the tiltable sewage draining passage overcomes the force from the reset device to rotate around the supporting axle or supporting hole and move into the lower position, which lowers the height of the waterseal and achieves the effect of lowering the flush resistance and saving water for flush. After flush, the tiltable sewage draining passage is reset by the reset device and resume its position with a high waterseal.
- The described tiltable sewage draining passage can be a U-pipe sewage draining passage, a ¬ -pipe sewage draining passage or tiltable tubular sewage draining passages of any other shapes.
- The described reset device can be selected from the counterweight reset device, the compression spring reset device, the tension spring reset device and the combined reset device of tension spring and compression spring or any other devices that can replace the tiltable sewage draining passage from the lower position to the higher position.
- The supporting axle or supporting hole of the described tiltable sewage draining passage is mounted on the outside of the upper chamber outlet or the outside of the lower chamber outlet in the lower chamber.

On the lower left side of thetiltable frame 37 there is areset counterweight 44.Annulus 39 at the end of an elongatedcurved plate 38 which extends toward upper right quadrant from the right side of thetiltable frame 37 is inserted into the interlayer formed by the flanging nozzle of the flexible tubularsewage draining passage 40 that extends parallelly with thecurved plate 38 to form ahorizontal tilting outlet 47 that is tilted and reset with thetiltable frame 37 synchronously. A narrow plate in the middle part of the edge of left frame oftiltable frame 37 bends downward and forms a bump, the narrow plate and the bumpform limit plate 41 and limitbump 42 used to limit tilt and reset. On the both sides of under part of thelower chamber 2, the mountingwindows 9 are provided, andouter cover 21 andinner cover 22 on whichgasket 22 and the countersunk head thread hole are provided are tighten up bybolt 23 and the toilet bowl is fixed on the floor through foot holes 8. When it does not flush, the resetting force which is formed by the combined action ofcounterweight 44,tiltable frame 37,curved plate 38,annulus 39 and tubularsewage draining passage 40 and the remaining water therein keeps the tubularsewage draining passage 40 in the high waterseal position under the resetting status and limited by thelimit bump 42; when it is flushing, water in the water tank enters theloop diversion pipe 6 from flushpipe inlet connection 5 and spouts on the scouring surface of theupper chamber 1 through a set ofdiversion holes 7, then flows into the lower end of the tubularsewage draining passage 40 from theupper chamber outlet 3 and flows out from thehorizontal tilting outlet 47 on the upper right side and finally drains out through thelower chamber outlet 4 of the under part of thelower chamber 2. When the flushing begins, driven by the tilting force (larger than the resetting force) generated by a certain amount of water and sewage passing through the tubularsewage draining passage 40 and itshorizontal tilting outlet 47, the tubularsewage draining passage 40 tilts around thescrew axle 43 automatically until it is limited bylimit plate 41, thereby thehorizontal tilting outlet 47 is lowered and the low waterseal status for flushing is formed, as shown by the dot line in Fig. 16. Following the flushing, the tilting force becomes smaller than the resetting force again, and the horizontal tilting outlet 51 ascends to the high waterseal position as the tubularsewage draining passage 40 reset automatically. - As shown in Fig. 19, Fig. 20 and Fig. 21, the sewage draining passage disclosed in the present invention is a basin-shaped (namely, the variable waterseal is basin-shaped) variable water sealed toilet bowl. It includes a basin-shaped
sewage draining passage 40 which has aaxle 43 and can tilt around the axle is supported in the supporting hole ofsupporter 36 that is fastened bybolt 46 and integrated withhoop 10 on the outside groove of theupper chamber outlet 3 of the lower part of theupper chamber 1. Theupper chamber outlet 3 extends into the lower part of the basin-shapedsewage draining passage 40, which extended toward the upper right quadrant tohorizontal tilting outlet 47. On the left outside of the basin-shapedsewage draining passage 40 iscounterweight 44, and the horizontal plate on the top ofsupporter 36 islimit plate 41 and the bending bump islimit bump 42. The under part ofsupporter 36 is fastened byscrew 45. When it does not flush, the resetting force is formed by the combined action ofcounterweight 44, basin-shapedsewage draining passage 40 and the remaining water therein, which keeps the basin-shapedsewage draining passage 40 in the high waterseal position under the resetting status and limited bylimit bump 42; while it is flushing, water in the water tank enters theloop diversion pipe 6 from flushpipe inlet connection 5 and spouts to the scouring wall ofupper chamber 1 through a set ofdiversion holes 7, then flows into the lower end of the basin-shapedsewage draining passage 40 from theupper chamber outlet 3 and flows out from the horizontal tilting outlet 51 on the upper right side and finally drains out through thelower chamber outlet 4 at the bottom of thelower chamber 2 . When the flush begins, driven by the tilting force (larger than the resetting force) generated by a certain amount of water and sewage passing through the basin-shapedsewage draining passage 40 and itshorizontal tilting outlet 47, the basin-shapedsewage draining passage 40 withaxle 43 is tilted around the axes ofaxle 43 automatically until it is limited bylimit plate 41, thereby thehorizontal tilting outlet 47 is lowered with it, and the low waterseal status for flushing is formed, as indicated by the dot line in Fig. 19. Following the flushing, the tilting force becomes smaller than the resetting force again, and thehorizontal tilting outlet 47 ascends to the high waterseal position as the basin-shapedsewage draining passage 40 reset automatically.
