  The water tank 200 has a spherical shape, but is formed in the form of a general sealed water tank in which the front and rear are formed in a hemispherical shape and the center is formed in a circular tube, and a washing water outlet 210 and a pressure water inlet are formed at the lower end. 220 is formed.

  A confirmation window 205 is formed at the lower end of the water tank 200 so that the internal water level can be confirmed.

  In the water tank 200, an opening / closing guide 214 is formed around the washing water outlet 210. The opening / closing guide 214 has a hole 242 at the upper end, and a large number of washing water can flow through the lower end of the side surface. Holes are formed.

  A spherical open / close floating ball 212 is formed inside the open / close guide 214. The open / close floating ball 212 opens and closes the washing water outlet 210 while moving up and down in the open / close guide 214.

  A partition 230 is formed so as to be separated from the opening / closing guide 214 of the water tank 200 and to divide the inside of the water tank 200 at a predetermined height.

  The partition 230 is formed so as to divide a space in which the cleaning water of the water tank 200 is stored at a predetermined height. At first, the cleaning water accumulates only around the opening / closing guide 214, but when the pressure exceeds a predetermined pressure, the partition 230 is overcome. Wash water goes over to the external space.

  A backflow prevention valve 232 is formed at the lower end of the partition 230, but the backflow prevention valve 232 cannot wash the internal space cleaning water into the external space around the partition 230. It is formed so that it can flow into the internal space.

  The partition 230 may be formed so as to divide the space inside the water tank 200 into three equal parts with the opening / closing guide 214 as the center, or may be formed in a circular shape like the opening / closing guide 214 and separated from the opening / closing guide 214 by a predetermined space. good.

  As another form of the partition 230, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, two backflow prevention valves 232 are formed on the top and bottom, and extended from between the top and bottom backflow prevention valves 232 so that the height of the upper end is divided. A sub-partition 237 that matches the height of the upper end of 230 is formed.

  The sub-partition 237 accumulates the washing water that has passed over the partition 230 and can maintain a higher air pressure and water pressure continuously.

  An adjustment knob 243 formed at the tip of the air pressure adjuster 240 is inserted into a hole 242 formed at the upper end of the open / close guide 214. The air pressure adjuster 240 can be adjusted from the outside of the water tank 200. Thus, an adjustment bolt 241 is formed, and an adjustment knob 243 is formed which is connected to the adjustment bolt and has a conical shape upside down.

  The adjustment knob 243 adjusts the size of the hole 242 while the tip of the conical shape is inserted into the hole 242. By adjusting the size of the hole 242, the drop time of the open / close floating ball 212 is adjusted to adjust the size of the water. The air pressure inside the tank 200 can be kept constant.

  The opening / closing float 212 is fixed to a packing 210a formed at the washing water outlet 210 to block outflow of air, and when the washing water flows again, it stops at the uppermost end of the opening / closing guide 214 by buoyancy.

  A pressure water inlet 220 is formed apart from the washing water outlet 210. The pressure water inlet 220 communicates with the pressure water inlet pipe 222, a time adjustment valve 450 is formed at the center, and a lower end is an upper end of the flash valve 400. Concatenated with

  The washing water outflow pipe 300 has an upper end communicating with the washing water outlet 210, one side communicating with the water supply pipe 310, and the other side communicating with the flush valve 400.

  The water supply pipe 310 is provided with a conventional water supply adjustment valve 314, a backflow prevention valve 316 and an air inflow valve 312.

  The washing water outflow pipe 300 has a diameter that is at least twice as large as the diameter of the water supply pipe 310. This is because when the washing water flows into the water tank 200 through the washing water outlet 210, the air inflow valve 312. This is so that a lot of air can be inhaled.

  Inside the flash valve 400, the piston 420 opens and closes the supply pipe 110 while moving up and down.

  The pressure water outflow pipe 410 communicates with the upper end of the flash valve 400, a button 410 a is formed at the tip, and a drain pipe 430 communicates with the side surface of the supply pipe 110.

  A washing water pipe 112 is connected to a supply pipe 110 on the inner wall around the water storage tank 180, and the washing water pipe 112 is connected to an upper washing water outlet 114 and a lower washing water outlet 116 to supply washing water.

  The lower washing water outlet 116 is formed so that the initial pressure acts strongly so that the washing water can easily get over the inverted U-shaped tube 500 and has a diameter of 5 to 7 mm. It is preferable.

  If the diameter of the lower washing water outlet 116 is smaller than 5 to 7 mm, the initial pressure can be increased, but the initial amount of washing water supplied is small, so that the reverse U-shaped tube cannot be overcome, When the diameter is larger than 5 to 7 mm, the initial pressure is low and the reverse U-shaped tube cannot be overcome.

  According to another embodiment of the present invention, the partition 230 and the sub partition 237 formed in the sealed water tank 200 are formed in the washing water storage partition 10 and the auxiliary storage partition 20 as shown in FIG. The washing water storage partition 10 is formed in a cylindrical shape so as to be spaced apart from the open / close guide 214, and the auxiliary storage partition 20 is formed so as to close the upper end of the cleaning water storage partition 10. A diameter is formed so as to protrude from the partition 10 to the outer peripheral edge, and a communication portion 22 is formed at the center so as to communicate with the cleaning water storage partition 10 and protrude at the upper end, and at a lower end thereof is connected to the cleaning water storage partition 10. A communication hole 23 is formed.

  The washing water storage partition 10 is formed to have a low height and a large diameter so that the storage capacity is the same as that of the conventional partition 230.

  A check valve is formed at the lower end of the side surface of the cleaning water storage partition 10 so that the cleaning water can flow from the outside.

  The auxiliary storage partition 20 is configured in a donut shape in which an upper end is opened and a lower end is closed, and a communicating portion 22 is formed in the center.

  A communication hole 23 communicating with the washing water storage partition 10 is formed at the lower end of the auxiliary storage partition 20.

  The auxiliary storage partition 20 is placed at the upper end so as to close the upper end of the cleaning water storage partition 10. However, the auxiliary storage partition 20 has a large diameter and protrudes to the side from the cleaning water storage partition 10.

  If formed as described above, the sealed water tank 200 can be operated without introducing a separate air pressure if the capacity is 7 to 10 liters, and without the inflow check valve 316 of the water supply pipe 310. Operation is possible.

  Hereinafter, the operation and method of use of the water-saving toilet bowl formed according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention is as follows.

  When installing for the first time, the water supply adjustment valve 314 is closed, air is injected through the air inflow valve 312 so that the pressure inside the water tank 200 becomes 2 atmospheres, and the air pressure adjustment tool 240 increases the size of the hole. After adjusting the depth and opening the water supply adjustment valve 314, the washing water is allowed to flow into the water tank 200.

  As described above, when the cleaning water flows into the water tank 200, the cleaning water can get over the partition 230 and collect about 4 to 5 cm on the bottom surface inside the water tank 200.

  In order to use the Western-style toilet prepared as described above, the user presses the button 410a to cause the water inside the water tank 200 to flow out to the water storage tank 180.

  When the button 410a is pressed, the wash water accumulated in the flash valve 400 and at the upper end of the piston 420 flows out through the drain pipe 430 and the pressure is lowered. At this time, the pressure on the wash water outflow pipe 300 side is reduced. The washing water flows out into the supply pipe 110 while becoming relatively strong and pushing the piston 420 upward.

  When the hand that has pushed the button 410a is released, the drainage pipe 430 is closed. At this time, the washing water flows into the upper end of the piston 420 through the pressure water inflow pipe 222 and at the same time through the washing water outflow pipe 300. When the washing water flows out to 110 and the pressure on the washing water outflow pipe 300 side becomes low, the piston 420 descends and the supply pipe 110 is closed.

  At this time, if the flush valve 400 is quickly closed and the washing water outflow amount is insufficient, the time adjustment valve 450 is adjusted to delay the descent time of the piston 420.

  If the pressure of the cleaning water flowing in through the water supply pipe 310 is lower than the initial pressure, the cleaning water is accumulated only in the partition 230, and the outflow amount of the cleaning water is continuously maintained constant. obtain.

  If the pressure of the cleaning water flowing in through the water supply pipe 310 is higher than the initial pressure, the cleaning water gets over the partition 230 and the cleaning water is accumulated in the external space. After all the washing water in the inner space has flowed out, the washing water in the outer space moves to the inner space via the backflow prevention valve 232, and the outflow amount of the washing water is kept constant.

  In addition, the air pressure adjuster 240 is adjusted to adjust the size of the hole 242 and the open / close floating ball 212 is slowly lowered to remove a part of the air pressure excessively formed in the water tank 200. The air pressure inside the water tank 200 can be kept constant by discharging through the outlet 210.

  As described above, according to the western-style toilet of the present invention, the amount of washing water outflow is limited to the amount of washing water inside the partition 230. Therefore, the water tank 180 of the western-style toilet is used with about 1.5 to 2 liters of washing water. Can be washed.
