Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system for cleaning a toilet according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • WO2010/134008 discloses one more example of a device supplying a high-pressure cleaning liquid; this document describes a cleaning device provided with a supply member shaped like a rod provided with a flexible end carrying a respective supply nozzle.
  • This supply member is carried by the tilting cover of the toilet and is designed to rotate by 360° relative to a substantially vertical axis so that the flow of cleaning liquid can peripherally sweep the toilet inner surface.
  • WO'008 specifies that the rotation of the supply member is provided by means of a common electric motor connected to the same supply member through a gear drive. It should be noted that the solution according to WO'008 has some limits and, in particular, the fact that the supply member cannot be sufficiently moved/oriented to allow that the flow of cleaning liquid sweeps the whole inner surface of the toilet, especially the pan outlet.
  • the present invention relates to a system for cleaning a toilet and to a toilet kit comprising said system and a toilet bowl.
  • One object of the present invention is to provide a system for cleaning a toilet that allows to solve the above mentioned drawbacks, and that is suitable to satisfy a plurality of requirements that to date have still not been addressed, and therefore suitable to represent a new and original source of economic interest, capable of modifying the current market of sanitary fixtures.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a toilet kit comprising said system and a toilet bowl , whose main features will be described in claim 9.
  • number 1 indicates, in its entirety, a cleaning system 1 for cleaning a toilet 3; the system, comprises a toilet bowl 4 provided with a pan outlet 5 for draining sewage, in particular faeces and urine, that leave different traces on the inner walls of the bowl 4 upstream of the pan outlet 5.
  • the bowl 4 is delimited at the top by an cantilevered annular portion 7 that peripherally delimits a space 8 and has sufficient width to support an annular seat 9, usually geometrically shaped similarly to the annular portion 7.
  • the system 1 comprises a hydraulic device 10 provided with a first tank 12 for water coming from the water supply network in a manner know and therefore not shown.
  • This tank 12 may be indifferently embedded in the wall of the bathroom (as shown in figure 1 ) or may comprise a cistern 120 on the outside of the wall delimiting the toilet 3 at the back or at the side, as shown in figure 4 .
  • a control plate 50 is associated to the tank 12 for controlling the supply of water - through gravity - for draining sewage through the pan outlet 5.
  • This plate 50 is usually applied to the wall behind the toilet 3 or onto the lid 122 of the cistern 120 of the outer tank 12. In both cases the plate 50 is provided with at least one flush push button 52.
  • the hydraulic device 10 comprises a supply member 100 that is shaped to close the bowl 4 at the top, is provided with at least one nozzle 102 connected to the first watertight tank 12 to supply water inside the bowl 4.
  • this supply member 100 is hinged to the bowl 4 and/or to the annular seat 9 in a known manner, and can therefore tilt around an axis A with respect to the bowl 4.
  • This supply member 100 comprises a plate 104 geometrically shaped similarly to the space 8 and sized so as to be put over it and close it.
  • the supply member 1 comprises a cover 109 that delimits peripherally the plate 104 so as to form, together with the plate 104, a watertight inner chamber 110.
  • the hydraulic device 10 comprises an electrically powered pumping unit 108 that can be actuated by means of a control and is arranged along a supply pipe 103 that is in turn arranged between the first tank 12 and each nozzle 102 so as to supply it with pressurized water.
  • the pressurized water from the pumping unit 108 allows to clean the toilet 3 with particular intensity in the areas, such as the pan outlet 5 and more generally the space 8, that come into direct contact with the organic waste and where dirt and bacteria therefore collect and shall be eliminate very carefully.
  • the pumping unit 108 may be contained inside the first tank 12, as shown in figures 1 and 4 , or may be supported by the toilet 3 or may be arranged anywhere on the supply pipe 103 according to the specific needs.
  • the cover 109 can therefore tilt as it is hinged to the bowl 4 in correspondence of the axis A.
  • each nozzle 102 A simple and economical way to provide each nozzle 102 is to make at least one hole 106 into the plate 104 in a substantially centred position and in hydraulic communication with the first tank 12.
  • the plate 104 is connected to the bowl 4 in a tilting way, each hole 106 is therefore arranged in a position selectively facing the pan outlet 5, so as to minimise the distance from this pan outlet 5 and to maximise the cleaning ability of a water flow supplied inside the bowl 4 by means of each hole 106.
  • each hole 106 may be usefully of elongated shape, with at least two edge portions parallel to each other, or of circular shape, according to function or aesthetic needs, as the series of holes 106 is completely visible when the plate 104 is raised.
  • elongated and circular holes 106, or holes of any other shape taking into account the ratio between the power that can be supplied by the pumping unit 108 and the cleaning level desired for the bowl. 4.
  • the chamber 110 can therefore contain at least one second supply pipe 112 branching from the pipe 103 to hydraulically connect each hole 106 to the first tank 12. Moreover, in view of the above description, the chamber 110 is shaped to contain a box 114 hydraulically connected to the first tank 12 downstream of the pumping unit 108 to supply pressurized water through each hole 106. From a constructive viewpoint, the box 114 is shaped so as to be produced moulded together with the plate 104.
  • the hydraulic device 10 furthermore comprises a valve 111 associated with the pipe 113 upstream of the box 114 with respect to each nozzle 102/hole 106, for instance at the base of the plate 104 at the side of the hinge axis of the plate 104 with the annular seat 9.
  • This valve 111 controls the dripping from the nozzles 102 and, under certain conditions, prevents it, so that, when the plate 104 is raised, the liquid supply is completely stopped, avoiding dripping thereof.
  • an intermediate second tank 117 for disinfectant liquid may be selectively associated with the pipe 103, and may be used selectively or always at every wash, according to the needs.
