Recently, concerns about depletion of water resources due to water scarcity are increasing, and each country is actively advising citizens to conserve water As a result, citizens' awareness of water saving has increased, and various ways of saving water have been presented in various forms.

In the case of using a toilet or a washbowl provided in a toilet, an excessive amount of water is wasted due to the use of excessive water. In particular, ~ 15 liters of water is used to treat the dirt. Therefore, in order to reduce the consumption of water a little, ordinary households are taking measures to put bricks and PET bottles into the water tank of the toilet.

However, since the amount of water is reduced as much as the volume of the bricks inserted into the water tank of the toilet, the water pressure of the water discharged from the water tank to the inside of the toilet falls, so that the toilet does not clean the toilet cleanly. .

Accordingly, the present applicant has proposed Korean Patent No. 10-1163357 (water-saving toilet bowl) to reduce consumption of water used in a toilet.

The above prior art technique increases the water pressure of the washing water discharged from the water tank to the toilet so that the toilet is washed cleanly in a small quantity to reduce the amount of washing water consumed and eliminates the conventional S-shaped siphon tube, While the end of the straight discharge pipe is opened by the water pressure of the washing water and is closed by the electromagnet.

This prior art is not only capable of discharging the toilet with a small amount of washing water as much as 1/2 to 1/3 of that of the conventional siphon tube type toilet, but also being installed at one end of the packing and the iron piece and the straight discharge pipe installed at the opening / The end portion of the straight discharge pipe is completely sealed by the electromagnet, thereby blocking the odor coming from the sewer to the toilet, and also absorbing the odor in the bottom of the toilet so that the odor generated when the odor eliminating unit is used is sucked and discharged to the sewer The user can use the toilet cleanly without feeling uncomfortable.

In addition, a pressurized tube is installed in a water tank, and a direct discharge pipe method is adopted instead of an S-shaped siphon tube which is a main waste of water, so that the toilet can be cleaned with a small amount of washing water (less than 4ℓ) , Water saving effect is not only greatly provided but also odor which is a problem of the toilet is removed, thereby providing a refreshing and comfortable space.
