As shown, the apparatus for removing odor through water treatment according to the present invention is the main constituent elements: a pedestal 100, a tube 200, a suction port 300, a pressure sensor 400, a gas-liquid mixing tank 500, and a suction fan. 600), and a control unit (not shown).

The toilet bowl 10 is to store a predetermined amount of water in a conventional toilet bowl, and a reservoir 20 having a predetermined capacity is provided at the rear and upper side of the toilet bowl 10.

A pedestal 100 is provided on the toilet bowl 10 so that the user can sit hygienically, and the pedestal 100 is connected so that its rear end is rotatable with respect to the toilet bowl 10, and the upper surface is made of a convex curved surface, The lower surface is concave to form the tunnel part (110).

Preferably, a plurality of support blocks 120 for stably seating the pedestal 100 on the upper surface of the toilet bowl 10 are coupled to the tunnel unit 110, and a tube 200 to be described later in the support block 120 A tube hole 121 for passing through is formed so that the tube 200 can be disposed along the tunnel part 110.

A tube 200 that is inserted from the rear end of the base 100 and extends along the tunnel part 110 is disposed. The tube 200 is a hollow tube having a predetermined diameter, and is a tube hole formed in the support block 120 It is installed along the tunnel part 110 while being fitted in (121).

On the other hand, a plurality of suction ports 300 are connected to the tube 200 disposed along the tunnel part 110, and the suction ports 300 are connected in a form branching from the tube 200 at predetermined intervals. The odor of the toilet bowl 10 is sucked through the suction port 300 and moves along the tube 200.

Preferably, in order to facilitate air intake from the inside of the toilet bowl 10 through the inlet 300, a contact pad 130 is provided on the lower surface of the base 100 so that the base 100 is seated on the toilet bowl 10 When the inlet port 300 is located, the sealing can be made to some extent.

In addition, at least one pressure sensor 400 is installed on the lower surface of the pedestal 100 so that the user can sense that he is sitting on the pedestal 100 to use the toilet. The pressure sensor 400 detects when a predetermined pressure is applied, for example, the same as that when a load of about 20 kg is applied to the pedestal, it can be recognized.

In particular, in the present invention, there is provided a gas-liquid mixing tank 500 separate from the reservoir 20, the gas-liquid mixing tank 500 is installed near the direct water line 30 through which direct water flows into the lower side of the toilet bowl 10. .

In the present invention, there is an advantage that installation is easy by simply connecting the gas-liquid mixing tank 500 to the direct water line 30 of the existing toilet, and at the same time, water treatment by directly inhaling the odor generated from the toilet bowl 10 when toileting It has a characteristic that it enables decomposition through.

That is, the gas-liquid mixing tank 500 connected to the direct water line 30 serves to primarily decompose the odor introduced through the tube 200. For this purpose, the gas-liquid mixing tank 500 has a direct water inlet 510 , A suction gas inlet 520 and a discharge port 530 are provided.

On the other hand, there is provided a suction fan 600 for inhaling the odor of the toilet bowl 10, one side of the suction fan 600 is connected to the suction gas inlet 520 and the other side is connected to the end of the tube 200 to suck The resulting gas can be supplied into the gas-liquid mixing tank 500.

In addition, the discharge port 530 provided in the gas-liquid mixing tank 500 is connected to the reservoir 20 to discharge the gas-liquid mixture that has been primarily processed inside the gas-liquid mixing tank 500.

That is, the odor component introduced into the gas-liquid mixing tank 500 is first decomposed while being mixed with water, and then discharged to the reservoir 20 to be mixed with more water and used as toilet washing water as secondary decomposition is performed. .

The direct water supplied through the direct water inlet 510 of the gas-liquid mixing tank 500 moves to the reservoir 20, where the odor gas sucked through the intake gas inlet 520 is mixed with the direct water and creates bubbles. By flowing, the odor gas is first decomposed, and after being discharged to the reservoir 20 through the discharge port 530, the odor gas is secondary decomposed by a large amount of water while staying in the reservoir 20.

Preferably, an on/off valve 501 is provided at the suction gas inlet 520, the direct water inlet 510, and the discharge port 530, and the on/off valve 501 uses an electromagnetic valve that opens and closes by a command from a control unit (not shown). Do it.

When the user sits on the pedestal 100, a load is applied to the pressure sensor 400, and the pressure sensor 400 senses this and transmits a detection signal to the control unit. The control unit receiving the signal from the pressure sensor 400 gives a control command so that the suction fan 600 is operated, and when the suction fan 600 is operated, the toilet bowl is passed through a plurality of suction ports 300 connected to the tube 200. (10) odor is inhaled.

Simultaneously with the operation of the suction fan 600, the opening/closing valve 501 of the suction gas inlet 520 connected to the gas-liquid mixing tank 500 is controlled to open, and thus, the odor along the tube 200 is controlled to open the gas-liquid mixing tank ( 500).

On the other hand, when the suction fan 600 is operated, the opening/closing valve 501 of the direct water inlet 510 is also opened to supply direct water into the gas-liquid mixing tank 500, and thus, the odor sucked into the gas-liquid mixing tank 500 As the gas is mixed with water, the first decomposition is performed and flows to move to the reservoir 20.

In particular, the apparatus for removing odor through water treatment according to the present invention has the advantage that it can be conveniently installed by replacing only the base in the existing toilet. And in the present invention, unlike conventional toilets, water is not always stored in a reservoir at full water level.

That is, in the conventional toilet system, water is always stored in the reservoir to the full water level, and then a large amount of water is discharged at once when a button is pressed after the toilet is used as washing water. However, over time, when the discharge cover provided at the bottom of the reservoir is deteriorated or is not properly seated, the water from the reservoir continues to be discharged, resulting in severe water waste.

In contrast, in the present invention, only the minimum water level, which is the minimum water level, is stored in the water reservoir 20 or the reservoir is empty. Keeping water at the minimum level is to use it as washing water when urinating, but this can be applied selectively.

Basically, in the present invention, when there is no water in the reservoir 20, when the user lowers the pedestal 100 and sits on the pedestal 100 to see the toilet, the pressure sensor 400 detects it, the direct water inlet 510 ) Of the opening and closing valve 501 is opened, direct water is introduced into the gas-liquid mixing tank 500, and at the same time, the suction fan 600 is operated to suck the odor gas from the toilet bowl 10, and the suction gas inlet 520 The on-off valve 501 is also opened, and the on-off valve 501 of the discharge port 530 is also opened.

When direct water flows through the direct water inlet 510, the odor gas sucked from the intake gas inlet 520 flows while being mixed along the direct water flow. Decomposition takes place. Since the discharge port 530 is connected to the reservoir 20, the odor gas first decomposed in the gas-liquid mixing tank 500 is discharged to the reservoir 20 together with water and collected in the reservoir.

The reservoir 20 is provided with a full water level sensor (not shown), and direct water is continuously supplied until the water is collected in the reservoir to the full water level.

In a state in which odor gas is mixed with direct water, the odor gas remaining by a large amount of water is decomposed again, and when the user presses the button after finishing the toilet, it is stored in the reservoir 20. The collected water and the odor gas mixed with the water are discharged to the washing water.

When the water level of the water collected in the reservoir 20 reaches the full water level, the supply of direct water is stopped, and when the user presses a button to discharge the water collected in the reservoir, all the water in the reservoir is discharged, and the reservoir remains empty. do. Therefore, in the case of the present invention, water waste due to water leakage can be eliminated compared to the conventional case where water is always filled in the reservoir, and at the same time, when the user wants to use the toilet, water is supplied and the odor is also decomposed. It offers the advantage of being able to remove it.

On the other hand, the direct water inlet 510 may be provided with a bypass pipe 540 connected to the tube 200. When direct water is supplied to the bypass pipe 540, it is directed toward the tube 200 and the suction port 300. It may be configured such that the direct water flows and is cleaned.

In addition, more preferably, in the configuration of the odor removal device through water treatment of the present invention, the odor detection sensor is attached to the reservoir or toilet bowl, and the signal from the odor detection sensor is transmitted to the control unit so that the toilet is not used. In case of severe odor, the direct water supply and suction fan may be operated periodically to remove odor gas.

The present invention is a useful technology that can be installed in the toilet of the toilet to effectively reduce and remove odor.
