Odor removal device for direct toilets {APPARATUS FOR REMOVING BAD SMELL FOR STRAIGHT WATER SUPPLY TYPE TOILET}

The present invention relates to an odor removal device installed in a direct-water toilet (left toilet/toilet) without a water tank to remove odor, and in detail, the odor generated when using the toilet is easily removed before spreading into the toilet. Thus, it relates to a direct-water toilet odor removal device that can prevent discomfort that may occur due to odor when using the toilet.

In general, a direct toilet (left toilet / toilet) is a device for allowing a user to urinate or stool in a sitting position, and a one-piece toilet bowl integrally equipped with a water tank for storing a certain amount of water in a toilet Differently, it refers to a device that receives washing water directly through a water pipe and discharges it into the toilet to discharge urine or feces to the septic tank.

Such a direct-water toilet is configured to supply water to the toilet body by installing a water supply pipe on the wall of the toilet or bathroom. The water supply pipe is directly connected to a direct water pipe, which is a water pipe, through a valve body, and by pressing a lever provided on the valve body after urination or defecation, water is supplied to discharge excrement while the water pressure on the water pipe acts as it is.

However, as the direct toilet is installed and used in a relatively narrow and enclosed space such as a toilet or bathroom, defecation gas such as ammonia generated during urine or feces cannot be discharged to the outside and spreads throughout the toilet or bathroom, causing severe odor. There was a problem.

In order to solve this problem, a ventilation system is installed and operated in a bathroom or toilet. The ventilation device is installed on a ceiling or wall in a bathroom or toilet, or is directly installed on a toilet to discharge defecation gas to the outside through a ventilator or exhaust pipe.

However, in the existing method of removing defecation gas using a ventilation device, the defecation gas spreads into the bathroom or toilet during the inflow and discharge process of the ventilator, causing discomfort due to odor. In addition, in the method of discharging by installing a ventilation device in the toilet, there is a problem that the exhaust pipe is exposed to the outside and not only impairs the aesthetics, but also has a low odor removal effect.

Accordingly, in the Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0169267, the air in the toilet is forcibly sucked in the toilet with the operation of the suction motor by sensing operation by the body weight of the stool during defecation, and the purified air is released. A toilet odor removal device has been proposed that emits a scent at the time, and maintains the operation of the suction motor for a certain period of time even after defecation to effectively purify and deodorize the odor in the toilet.

However, in the conventional toilet odor removal device proposed in Republic of Korea Utility Model No. 20-0169267, a deodorizer with a built-in suction motor for inhaling odor is provided on the floor, and a separate suction corrugated pipe is provided to connect the deodorizer and the seat plate. As it is exposed to the outside of the building, it hurts the aesthetics of the toilet or bathroom, like the existing ventilation devices, while they interfere with urine or feces, making it cumbersome and inconvenient to use.
