Description

Urinals {A URINAL}

The present invention relates to a urinal, and more particularly, to a urinal that is able to block the discharge of odor to the outside without the need for washing water.

In general, urinals are fixedly installed on walls or floors, and are mainly used in public places and toilets used by many people.

The urinal is provided with a urinal body and a drain valve for flowing the washing water in an upper portion of the urinal body, and a discharge port for discharging urine and washing water to the outside is connected to the lower portion of the urinal body. After urine, the urine is discharged by pressing the drain valve or by the operation of the automatic valve to wash the urine flowing along the inner surface of the urinal body, the washing water and urine is discharged through the outlet.

However, such a conventional urinal washes urine with washing water, and the inside of the urinal body is washed with water. At this time, the urine and water are mixed so that the bacteria multiply much more quickly and the odor becomes worse.

In addition, because the coagulation action occurs when the urine and water is mixed, the urine is formed inside the discharge pipe, and this accumulates in the urine, which accumulates in the urinal, and the urinal becomes dirty as well as discomfort to the user.

Therefore, in recent years, the so-called water-free urinal that can prevent odor without using water has been proposed.

The urinal without using water has a structure in which the floating body opens and closes the urine outlet formed in the lower part of the urinal by the buoyancy of the floating body made of a spherical shape and the weight of urine. However, such a urinal has a disadvantage in that a foreign substance is caught on the surface of the floating body, or the outlet is not completely closed due to unevenness, and a gap is generated due to a gap.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the conventional problems as described above, the object of the present invention is that the urinal can be made to open and close the urine outlet precisely without the need for washing water to wash the urine can block the discharge of odor To provide.

Urinal proposed by the present invention, the urinal main body having a through hole formed in the lower portion, both ends of the opening portion and one side is inserted into the through hole extending to the lower portion, and the urine supported on the support portion and the urine flowing down from the urinal body The inflow member, which is hinged to the inflow member, is normally closed, and when urine flows in, the valve is opened by the load of urine to send urine out, and the urine discharged by the opening of the valve is temporarily contained in the urine. It provides a urinal including a case having a drain trap that flows out when the water level is higher than the predetermined level, and a drain pipe for guiding urine discharged from the drain trap to the sewer pipe while sealing and sealing the outer surface of the support and the drain trap.

The urinal according to the present invention does not need the washing water for washing the urine, so that the installation of equipment such as a water supply line and a valve can be omitted, and the urinal installation work and installation cost can be greatly reduced.

In addition, since the valve is opened by the weight of the urine, and the valve is closed by the elasticity of the elastic member after the urine is discharged, there is little risk of the valve failure and the opening and closing operation is surely possible to completely block the discharge of odor.

In addition, there is an eccentric portion of the valve in the urine, the valve is smoothly opening and closing the operation even at a small amount of urine.

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

Figure 1 is a side view of the urinal according to the present invention, Figure 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the main portion of the urinal according to the present invention, 2 denotes the urinal body.

The urinal body 2 may be made of porcelain, polycarbonate, synthetic resin, or the like, and may be fixedly installed on a fixed body 100 such as a wall.

The inside of the urinal body (2) is formed in a concave shape of the lower side so that the urine can be gathered in one place. And the inner surface of the urinal body (2) can further form a coating surface to flow well while the urine does not stick to prevent remaining.

A through hole is formed in the lower part of the urinal main body 2, and the support part 4 is fitted and fixed in this through hole. Both ends of the support part 4 are formed through the opening part, and the upper part is bent to the inclined surface so that the support part 4 can be fixedly supported by the urinal body 2. This support 4 is to be separated from the urinal body (2).

The inlet member 6 into which the urine flowing from the urinal main body 2 flows is fixedly supported by the support part 4. The inlet member 6 has a plurality of inlets 8 through which the urine of the urinal body 2 flows. And while the extension portion 10 is formed at the lower side of the inflow member 6, the extension portion 10 is formed with an outlet 12 through which urine introduced into the inflow member 6 is discharged.

As shown in detail in FIG. 3, the inlet member 6 is provided with a valve 18 that receives the outward elasticity of the elastic member 14 and is hinged to the hinge portion 16.

The elastic member 14 may be formed of a torsion coil spring, and the elasticity of the elastic member 14 is installed to always push the valve 18 upward based on the hinge portion 16. Therefore, the valve 18 is normally closed by the outward elasticity of the elastic member 14 so that odors and the like cannot be discharged to the outside of the urinal.

In order to minimize the occurrence of odors, the urinal body 2, the inlet member 6 and the valve 18 is preferably made of a polycarbonate (Polycarbonate) material. This polycarbonate is a high-performance resin with a high chemical resistance structure, and has high density density and water repellency, so urine does not adsorb on the surface and flows out, causing odor. To prevent it.

When a certain amount of urine flows into the upper portion of the valve 18 through the inlet 8, the valve 18 rotates the hinge portion 16 axially while overcoming and pressing the elastic member 14 by the load. Open to drain urine downward.

After urine is discharged due to the opening of the valve 18, the valve 18 is closed by rotating the hinge portion 16 in the opposite direction when the hinge portion 16 is opened by the restoring force of the compressed elastic member 14.

The valve 18 is composed of a first member (18a) having a downward inclined surface starting from the hinge portion 16, and a second member (18b) having an upwardly inclined surface while being continuous from the first member (18a), Due to the first member 18a and the second member 18b, the upper surface of the valve 18 is formed to be concave so that urine can be accumulated.

In addition, the first member 18a is longer than the second member 18b so that the valve 18 can be easily opened even with a small amount of urine so that the center of gravity of the urine can be eccentric to one side of the valve 18. have.

That is, when urine accumulates in the valve 18, the center of gravity of the urine is formed in a direction away from the hinge portion 16, so that the valve 18 can be easily opened.

The valve 18 is formed so that its outer diameter is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the inflow member 6 and closes while contacting the inflow member 6. However, it is also possible to maintain the closing of the valve by giving a slight inclination angle to the outer surface of the valve rather than the difference in diameter between the valve and the inlet member.

The drain trap 20 is located under the valve 18, and the lower end of the support part 4 is locked to the drain trap 20.

The drain trap 20 is configured to temporarily store the urine introduced by the opening of the valve 18, and is discharged to the outside of the drain trap 20 when the urine level rises above a certain height.

The drain trap 20 is formed inside the case 22 that surrounds and seals the outer surface of the drain trap 20, so that the urine introduced into the drain trap 20 is discharged to the outside when the urine introduced to the drain trap 20 is above a predetermined level. A drain port 24 is formed, and the drain port 24 is configured to communicate with a drain pipe 26 extending out of the case 22.

In the above-described valve 18, the first member 18a and the second member 18b have a downward slope and an upward slope, and the inside of the valve 18 is concave, but is not limited thereto.

In addition, reference numeral 28, which is not described in the drawings, is a foreign matter inflow preventing member for preventing the foreign matter from entering the inlet (8). A plurality of holes (not shown) are formed on the circumferential surface of the foreign matter inflow preventing member 28 to allow urine to pass therethrough.

The urinal of the present invention as described above is normally in a closed state while closing the inlet member 6 by the elastic force of the elastic member 14 as shown in FIG.

In this state, the drain trap 20 is closed in the case 22, so the valve 18 is closed, so the odor due to urine is not discharged to the outside of the urinal.

When urine flows into the urinal body 2, urine flows into the inlet member 6 through the inlet 8 and collects on the upper surface of the valve 18. By the load, as shown in FIG. 4, the valve 18 overcomes the elasticity of the elastic member 14 and rotates the hinge portion 16 to the shaft while opening to discharge urine downward.

If urine continues to flow in this state, the urine discharged while the valve 18 is kept open continuously flows into the drain trap 20.

When urine continuously flows into the drain trap 20 and the water level rises above a predetermined height, the urine flows through the drain hole 24 of the drain trap 20 and is drained to the outside through the drain pipe 26 connected to the sewer pipe.

The discharge of the urine proceeds until all the urine introduced into the inflow member 6 is discharged downward, because the urine introduced into the valve 18 is collected eccentrically away from the hinge portion 16. This is because the valve 18 opens even with a small amount of urine.

When all the urine of the urinal main body 2 is discharged by this action, the valve 18 rotates in the opposite direction when the hinge portion 16 is opened to the shaft by the restoring force of the compressed elastic member 14. It is closed while making surface contact with the inner wall of the inflow member 6.

Since the drain trap 20 is closed in the state in which the valve 18 is closed, the odor generated from standing urine is not discharged to the outside of the urinal.

After using the urinal for a certain period of time, remove the inflow member 6 from the support part 4, and wash the salt or foreign substances on the inflow member 6 and the valve 18, and then install it again or use a new one. The inflow member may be mounted.

On the other hand, in the embodiment of the present invention may be manufactured in a state in which the extended portion formed in the lower portion of the inflow member (6) is omitted.

Replace with

According to the second embodiment of the present invention, the inlet member 6 is completely wrapped so that the support part 4 completely covers the inner part of the support part 4 while the extension part formed in the lower part of the inlet member 6 is omitted.

If the extension is omitted, the structure becomes simpler, so that the manufacturing cost of the urinal can be made at such a low cost.
