Description

  The present invention relates to a Western-style toilet, and more specifically, by applying a structure without a water tank, while reducing the consumption of water while maintaining the interior of the toilet body in a comfortable state, noise generation is also caused. The present invention relates to a super water-saving and noise-reducing type Western toilet without a reduced water tank.

  A Western-style toilet is a Western-style toilet for sitting and urinating, and such a Western-style toilet is configured to discharge urine and stool to a septic tank by water pressure, and is used in toilets such as homes and commercial buildings. It is installed inside.

  A general flush-type toilet bowl collects a certain amount of water inside the toilet bowl, and when water is supplied from the water tank on the rear side of the toilet bowl, the excrement inside the toilet bowl is based on the siphon principle due to the difference in water pressure. It is made up of a toilet body and a water tank.

  Inside the toilet body, a water storage space is formed to open upward, and a siphon trap is formed on the lower side of the water storage space along the upper inner periphery of the water storage space. A cleaning channel is formed. In the washing channel, a plurality of washing jets are formed, and water is jetted through the washing jets to wash the stored water space of the toilet body.

  A water supply hole communicating with the toilet body is formed at the lower stage of the water tank, and a stopper is installed in the water supply hole so as to be openable and closable. A ball tap with a floating ball is provided on one side of the aquarium so that the water supply and the amount of the aquarium can be adjusted. The stopper is connected to an operating lever mounted on the outside of the water tank through a connecting chain, and the water supply hole is opened by rotating the operating lever.

  However, conventional Western-style toilets allow a large amount of water in the aquarium to flow rapidly toward the toilet body, and the waste water mixed in the stool collected inside the toilet body is washed by the water pressure generated at this time. Thus, since a large amount of water is consumed (approximately 8 to 18 L) at each washing, there is a problem that water is eventually wasted.

  In addition, the conventional Western-style toilet is configured so that sewage mixed with stool passes through a bent siphon trap quickly by water pressure and is discharged. The siphon trap often becomes clogged with dirt (toilet paper). In this case, the function of the siphon trap deteriorates and the use of the western style toilet becomes impossible, or the waste discharged through the siphon trap. In some cases, a predetermined amount of water flows backward, and unclean water (mixed with stool) remains in the reservoir space. In such a case, washing with water is carried out again, and there is a case where a greater amount of water is consumed in the end, resulting in a problem that the waste of water is amplified.

  In addition, conventionally, in order to form a siphon trap inside the toilet body, a complicated mold must be manufactured, and the toilet body must be manufactured with materials such as pottery according to this mold. It was difficult to produce, and the production cost was also high.

  The present invention has been devised in view of the above points, and by implementing a simplified structure with the aquarium removed, a smaller amount of water (15-20% compared to the prior art). Sewage (including urine and urine) can be easily discharged without noise, and environmental pollution can be reduced by reducing the amount of sewage. The object is to provide an enhanced water-saving and noise-reducing Western style toilet without a water tank.
