Definitions

• the present invention relates to a device for monitoring flushing toilets as well as for safety groups on hot water flasks, for example. It makes it possible both to detect leaks due to a blockage of the filling device of the toilet tank, or of the flushing mechanism; or when they are no longer stable; either because of the deterioration of the joints due to aging, or because of the deposit of limestone for example.
• the device according to the invention overcomes this disadvantage. It comprises in fact according to a first characteristic, a vase, of a certain capacity, which is crossed at its base by the supply pipe of a certain diameter coming from the float feed valve, the latter ending in the vase and engaging a certain length in a tube integral with the latter, allowing free passage at its base, and a diameter so as to obtain a vacuum and circulate water.
• the water s DUS high pressure when opening the float valve in case of water demand is injected through the tube located in the vase, creating at the same time a depression at the base of the latter serving to empty it with each request for water, and this so to avoid that the level rises because at each request a tiny amount of water returns to the vessel and filled at its base when closing the float valve.
• the water supply being at this time of a a very low flow rate from which a low pressure, the latter having more force to be injected through the tube integral with the vase, the water is thus recovered in the latter until the level reaches the probe finally giving the alarm.
• a water supply controlled by a hydraulic valve it is 1 ' ' water s evacuation thereof that is recovered to finally fill the vase and give the alarm.
• the pipes can be replaced so that the entire device can be produced industrially in a single plastic injection A screw acting injector to obtain the same result.
• the screw being pierced in all its length to the limit at the head of the screw a second hole at the head of the screw for injecting the water therethrough.
• the screw being reduced on either side of the thread leaving free passage on its periphery so as to obtain the vacuum side injection, an orifice being molded at the thread height, and supply water the screw through a molded hole at the height of the screw head.
• the detection of the levels can be done using electrode probes or mini floats replacing the latter, the floats coming to press electrical contacts.
• the mini floats can act directly on the feed mechanism of the flush tank to shut off the water supply.
• the time delay for the electric probe where the float located in the lower part of the cistern for signaling or cutting off the water supply during a major leak due to a locking mechanism in the position of opening can be obtained electrically ' for the probe or mechanically scared both with the help of a vase drilled at its base with a calibrated hole so that the level in the latter drops less rapidly than in the hunting tank of water.
• Figure 1 shows in section the vessel for recovering the water at low leaks but drawn without pipes; with the screw acting as jet.
• FIG. 2 shows a sectional view of the device.
• the device comprises a vase of a certain capacity (1) which is traversed by its base by the supply pipe of a certain diameter (2) from the float valve (3), the latter ending in the vessel (1) and engaging a certain length in the tube (4) integral with the vessel (1) leaving free passage at its base, and d a certain diameter so as to obtain a depression, and by the same letting the water circulate.
• the jet of water leaving the supply pipe (2) being injected through the tube (4) creating a depression at the base of the latter in the vase (1) draining regularly.
• the water is recovered by the vessel (1) in case of low leakage on the float valve (3) or on the flush mechanism (5).
• the jet of water leaving at the end of the feed pipe (2) is no longer powerful enough to be injected through the tube (4).
• the level of water then rising in the vessel (1) finally reaching the probe (6) triggering the alarm.
• the device according to the invention is particularly intended for the sanitary field.
