Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The present invention proposes a device for saving flushing water of a toilet with integral toilet function. If the toilet and toilet functions are integrated, it is advantageous to increase the space utilization of the bathroom and to make the sewage water recycled as heavy water. Normally, flushing of the toilet is performed between the water pipe 15 and the water pipe 16 installed in the building, but when installed outdoors, a separate independent water pipe 15 and a water pipe 16 can be utilized.

According to the present invention, a water storage tank (10) for storing a plurality of tanks therein is a structure in which a washstand (11), a toilet (12), and a urinal (13) are mounted. The integral structure of the washstand 11, the toilet flusher 12 and the urinal 13 is not necessarily formed in the same frame. When the water storage tank 10 is a ceramic material, at least a part of the water storage tank 10 can be separately molded and assembled. The plurality of tanks are portions for storing the sewage generated in the washstand 11 according to the quality of the water as described later.

The washstand 11 is mounted on the water storage tank 10 via a guide rail 31 so as to be movable and includes an operation lever 35 for interlocking engagement with the guide rail 31, And a control unit. 2 illustrates a state in which the guide rails 31 are installed at two places on the upper surface of the water storage tank 10. As shown in Fig. The washstand 11 is slidably engaged with the guide rail 31 on the bottom surface and can change its position in one direction (for example, forward and backward). The positional change of the washstand 11 takes into consideration the ease of inspection and replacement of the inside of the water storage tank 10, in addition to maintaining a comfortable posture on the toilet surface on the water storage tank 10. The operation lever 35 restrains the sink 11 from arbitrarily moving. 2, a state in which the operating lever 35 is vertically movable on both sides of the washstand 11 is illustrated.

At this time, the guide rails 31 and the operation lever 35 are engaged with the respective gears 32 and 36, and the gears 32 and 36 are formed with angular or semicircular gears do. The guide rail 31 is made of a member having an I-shaped cross section, which is a standard product, and the operation lever 35 is formed so as to have a protruding band at the upper and lower ends thereof. The toot rest 32 formed on one side of the guide rail 31 is engaged with a toot rest 36 formed on the lower end protruding rest of the operation lever 35. [ A spring 38 is connected to one end of the operation lever 35 to maintain the engaged state of the toothed portions 32 and 36. When the toothed wheels 32 and 36 are formed into a square shape (for example, a sawtooth shape), the one-way movement of the washstand 11 is restrained, and if it is formed into a semicircular shape, the washstand 11 is relatively smoothly moved in both directions. In any case, when the washstand 11 and the operating lever 35 are grasped at the same time, the engagement of the teeth 32 and 36 is released and the position of the washstand 11 is easy to move.

In the detailed construction of the present invention, the urinal 13 is characterized in that the urinal 13 is concealed or drawn out by using a cover 43 which is openably and closably provided in an opening of the water storage tank 10. It is effective to reduce the consumption of water by forming the urinal 13 and the toilet flusher 12 apart from each other on the water storage tank 10. Conventionally, the method of adjusting the amount of the waste liquid by two levers is not very effective. However, as the space such as a bathroom is narrower, the urinal 13 may cause inconvenience to the use of the washstand 11, so that the urinal 13 is preferably configured to be of a pull-out type. When the urinal 13 is received in the opening of the water storage tank 10 and the cover 43 is closed, it is easy to wash with little water as well as odor prevention.

At this time, the urinal 13 is rotatably supported via the hinge 41, and the cover 43 is forcibly rotated by the urinal 13 when the urinal 13 is closed. 3 illustrates a state in which the cover 43 is lifted and the urinal 13 is rotated about the hinge 41 and exposed to the outside of the water storage tank 10. The urinal 13 is rotatably formed by its own weight in a form of shape. On the other hand, when the cover 43 is lowered, the inclined surface of the urinal 13 is pressed and concealed in the water storage tank 10 in the state of 13 '. Of course, a motor (not shown) may be provided on the hinge 41 so that the urinal 13 can be electrically operated.

On the other hand, the urinal 13 of the rotating structure is configured to have the oil supply port 45 and the oil connection 47 on the drain port 46. The water supply port 45 is connected to the tank of the water storage tank 10 or the water pipe 15 and the water discharge port 46 is connected to the water discharge pipe 16.

According to the present invention, the water purification means 20 is installed in the tank of the water storage tank 10 so as to purify the wastewater from the washstand 11, and has a structure for differentiating water quality between the purification tanks in a stepwise manner. The wastewater increases in water quality from the lower water to the higher water according to the level of purification (stage), and the upper water level is equal to the constant of the water pipe (15). According to the method in which the water purification means 20 stores water having a different water quality in a plurality of tanks, it is possible to reduce the consumption of water and the reliance on the water charge.

On the other hand, the wastewater is not limited to the water of the washstand 11, but water such as a bathtub may be used by connecting a separate pipe.

As a detailed configuration of the present invention, the water purification means 20 is characterized in that it has at least one of a filter 25 or a sterilizer 26 on the upper tank 21, the intermediate tank 22, and the lower tank 23 . In FIG. 4, the upper tank 21, the intermediate tank 22, and the lower tank 23 are sequentially connected. This reduces the power consumption by pumping since the water is dropped by gravity. The upper tank 21 filters the foreign matter such as hair from the water of the washstand 11 with the filter 25 to store the wastewater. The intermediate tank 22 filters the wastewater by a finer filter 25 and stores it as primary heavy water. The lower tank 23 uses the microfilter 25 and the sterilizer 26 to increase the water quality of the secondary water from the primary water to the secondary water.

The filter 25 and the sterilizer 26 of the present invention are exemplary means and can be provided with other known means to differentiate the water quality between the upper tank 21, intermediate tank 22 and lower tank 23.

According to the present invention, the control means (50) has a structure for supplying the water of the tank to the toilet (12) and the urinal (13) in a predetermined order and in a predetermined amount. The control means 50 is based on a microprocessor, a memory, and a controller 58 equipped with an input / output interface, and performs automatic control by an algorithm (program) stored in the memory. The water level sensor 51, 52, 53, the displacement sensor 54, the valve 56 and the like are connected to the input / output interface of the controller 58. The water level sensors 51, 52, and 53 are installed to detect the low level and the high level in each tank. The displacement sensor 54 is installed to detect the entrance / exit state of the urinal 13 or the open / close state of the cover 43. [ The valve 56 is installed between the respective tanks and is installed on a pipe for supplying the water of the tank to the toilet 10 and the urinal 13. [

As a detailed configuration of the present invention, the control means (50) sequentially supplies low-level water and high-level water in the flushing process of the toilet, and replenishes the water through the upper tank or the water pipe (15) . As an example of operation, in the flushing of the faucet 12 and the urinal 13, the controller 58 first feeds the wastewater or primary water, and finally the secondary water. When the water of a certain tank reaches the low water level, water is sent from the upper tank, and when it reaches above the high water level, the channel is closed to prevent the water from progressing. When the water in the entire tank is excessive, the water in the sink 11 is sent to the drain pipe 16. In the case where the water in the entire tank is insufficient, the water pipe 15 is opened to replenish the lower tank 23 preferentially.

The controller 58 provides water as soon as the cover 43 is opened to expose the moment the urinal 13 is exposed and the moment the cover 43 is closed and the urinal 13 is concealed.

In the meantime, the present invention has been described as a case in which the controller 58 outputs the flushing to the valve 56, but is not limited thereto. That is, in the case of the flushing machine 12, conventional mechanical flushing can be at least partially applied.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. It is therefore intended that such variations and modifications fall within the scope of the appended claims.
