Description

Odor blocker for anhydrous urinals {COMPOSITION FOR ISOLATING ODOR OF WATERLESS URINAL}

The present invention relates to an odor blocker for anhydrous urinals, and more particularly, is filled in the cartridge of the anhydrous urinals, and effectively blocks the odor in the cartridges to be released to the outside, while the layer separation ability and viscosity of the liquid (urine or water) The present invention relates to an odor blocker for anhydrous urinals which is excellent in that there is little concern about loss and can prevent bacterial propagation and contamination.

Odors that occur in the toilet are mainly generated in the toilet floor, toilet and drain pipe. Of these, the odor generated in the toilet and the drainage pipe is the main cause of the odor of the toilet, which is the root cause of sediment and various bacteria that are attached to the toilet and the drainage pipe. It is reported that the toilet bowl contains 11 times as many germs as subway handles. Korea Toilet Association and the Seoul National University, Institute of Microbiology at the results of the measurement of the habitat extent and contamination of pathogens that reside in Western-style toilet seat (pedestal) of public toilets in Seoul, 1 toilet dog has dwaetgo an average of 71 bacteria detection, 10cm ^2, the It is reported that 3800 bacteria have been detected. Urinals are a breeding ground for bacteria, and the number of bacteria doubles every 20 minutes, so the urine can be washed, sterilized, and sterilized continuously to remove odors from urinals. In particular, in the drainage pipe where water flows down through the urinal, scale may settle over time, preventing the smooth flow of water. As the scale increases, the water flow slows down and the toilet is clogged or a foul smell of disgusting smell flows back.

Conventionally, as a method of preventing the odor and bacteria propagation of the toilet urinals, a large amount of water is flowed into the urinal, or a method of washing with various chemical cleaners or acidic sterilizers has been attempted. In addition, the replacement of the toilet and drain pipe to prevent odor and germ propagation. However, the use of chemical cleaners or disinfectants is only an additional method for sanitary hygiene, and there is a limit in removing the cause of the odor, bacteria and contaminants of the urine. In addition, a detergent and a disinfectant are consumed by one use, and the cost according to these purchase is burdened. In addition, the replacement of the toilet bowl or drain pipe can be referred to as a temporary method, after which the scale will be generated again, and the cost of the equipment replacement is expensive.

Therefore, it can be seen that the cleaning method of washing with running water is advantageous in terms of cost compared to the method of using a chemical cleaner or a disinfectant. However, due to the recent shortage of water and / or rising costs of water, this also presents a cost problem. Accordingly, a waterless urinal (anhydrous urinal) has been proposed and put into practical use.

For example, the Republic of Korea Patent No. 0136675 (prior patent document 1), the Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2006-0135728 (prior patent document 2), US Patent Publication No. US2005 / 0229971 (prior patent document 3), etc. Techniques related to urinals are shown.

As set forth in the preceding patent documents, the dry urinal includes a urine cartridge mounted in a housing. The urine cartridge generally has a structure in which a separator is installed in a cylindrical body and divided into an inlet portion through which urine is drawn in and a discharge portion through which urine is discharged. The urine cartridge also has an outlet through which urine flows through the outlet into the piping of the housing. Therefore, the urine introduced into the cartridge passes through the inlet and outlet, and then is discharged to the outside through the pipe of the housing through the outlet. At the bottom of the cartridge, a sediment (urine) of urine is deposited. The greater the use time and the number of times, the greater the amount of laminations. In this way, the cartridge can sediment and separate the urine stones to reduce the amount of urine discharged to the outside. As a result, scale formation or clogging of pipes can be prevented without using water. At this time, the inlet portion of the cartridge is filled with a blocking agent (sealing liquid) to prevent the odor of urine from being released to the outside. The blocking agent is a liquid with a lower specific gravity than water and is filled in a wound form on the urine. These blockers should be free from odor loss and sealability. Specifically, the layer separation with the liquid (urine or water) should be good and should not be released to the outside with urine.

However, the anhydrous urinal blocker according to the prior art does not effectively block the release of odor in the cartridge outside, there is a problem in that the blocking resolution (layer separation ability) with the liquid (urine or water) falls. In addition, the conventional barrier agent has a problem in that the viscous force is mixed with the liquid (urine or water) is introduced and then lost to the outside through the outlet through the inlet and outlet. In order to prevent the loss of such a blocking agent, the prior patent document 1 is configured to install a horizontal reinsertion portion in the cartridge so that the blocking agent (sealing liquid) rises up again by the horizontal reinsertion portion. However, it is pointed out that the method presented in the above Patent Document 1 is accompanied by a manufacturing cost due to the horizontal reentrant installation. In addition, the anhydrous urinal blocker according to the prior art has a problem that does not prevent bacterial growth or contamination in the cartridge.

At this time, the top plate 20, as shown in Figure 2 has a structure inclined toward the inlet 22 so that urine can easily enter the inlet (22). In addition, the cartridge 100 may be coupled to and separated from the housing 300 by the use of a fastener (usually, a master key), wherein the top plate 20 may be fitted with a fastener for coupling / separation. The fitting groove 24 can be drilled.

The separator 30 is installed inside the cartridge body 10, and divided into an inlet part A through which urine is introduced and received, and a discharge part B through which the urine passed through the inlet part A is discharged. As such, the separator 30 partitions the inside of the cartridge body 10 into the inlet portion (A) and the discharge portion (B). The upper end 30a of the separator 30 is in close contact with the upper plate 20, and the lower end 30b of the separator 30 is spaced apart from the lower plate 40 at predetermined intervals. For example, the separator 30 may include one vertical plate installed downward from the upper plate 20, or may be installed downward from the upper plate 20 as illustrated in the drawing. It may be composed of two vertical plates 31 and 32.

More specifically, in the drawing, threads are formed at the inner circumferential portion of the side wall 41 of the lower plate 40 and the lower outer circumferential portion of the cartridge body 10 so that the lower plate 40 and the cartridge body 10 are freely coupled / rotated by a rotation operation. Illustrated the appearance that can be separated. At this time, the lower plate 40 and the cartridge body 10 is sealed by the sealing means 46 such as O-ring (O-ring) interposed.

The discharge port 50 is a passage through which the urine received in the discharge part B is discharged to the outside, that is, to the outside along the pipe 310 of the housing 300, the discharge port 50 of the cartridge body 10 It is located inside, but close to the wall 11 is disposed. At this time, the outlet 50 includes an inlet passage 52 and the discharge passage 54, the discharge passage 54 is formed by opening the wall 11 of the cartridge body 10 as shown in the figure . Specifically, as shown in the figure, the discharge port 50 may be formed by installing a discharge pipe 55 having a 'C' shaped cross section. At this time, the discharge pipe 55 is located inside the cartridge body 10, it is in close contact with the wall (11). The wall 11 of the cartridge body 10 has an opening 11a formed at a portion where the discharge pipe 55 is located.

It is preferable to arrange. At this time, the inclined plates 61 and 62 are installed upward. Here, 'upwardly installed' means that the end P ₂ , which is the other side thereof, is positioned higher than the portion P ₁ connected to the separator 30 or the wall 11. Therefore, the angle θ formed by the inclined plates 61 and 62 and the separator 30 and the angle θ formed by the inclined plates 61 and 62 and the wall 11 become an acute angle smaller than 90 degrees. In this case, the inclined plates 61 and 62 may be installed upward at an angle θ of 60 ° to 85 °. That is, in FIG. 3, the angle θ may be 60 ° to 85 °. As such, when the inclined plates 61 and 62 are installed upward, the downward flow rate of urine can be further reduced than when the downward plates 61 and 62 are installed downward, thereby more effectively preventing the scattering of the urine stones. In addition, the second inclined plate 62 positioned below may be positioned higher than the lower end 30b of the separator 30. That is, in FIG. 2, the connection portion P1 of the second inclined plate 62 may be positioned higher than the lower end 30b of the separator 30. In addition, a plurality of drain holes 61a and 62a may be formed in the inclined plates 61 and 62. In the drawings, the drain holes 61a and 62a are exemplarily distributed in the distal ends P ₂ of the inclined plates 61 and 62.
