Flush woman-only urinal {URINAL SYSTEM FOR WOMEN}

The present invention relates to a flushing women-only urinal, and more particularly, it is suitable for women to use in office buildings or public toilets, as well as urine stool combined urine for women who have been stereotyped like urine for men The present invention relates to a flush female urinal capable of effectively eliminating the wasteful problem of the huge source of material and by using the exclusive use, and effectively prevent the phenomenon of discomfort caused by the feces user previously used in women's urine.

Most urinals currently known are flush male urinals. In other words, in the case of men, it is used by being divided into a toilet (seat toilet) and a urinal for feces.

In recent years, as the water shortage has come, even anhydrous urinals have appeared.

However, for women, the toilet and urinals are not separated separately. In other words, because the female reproductive structure is difficult to urinate sedentary urine because it is forced to use a combination of the existing toilet.

Therefore, women use large amounts of water when using urinals (or sedentary toilets) to urinate, causing a waste of resources.

For example, the amount of water discharged when using a toilet is about 12 to 13 ℓ. Considering that one woman who uses the toilet is using 5 to 7 times a day on average, The reality is that water is used.

In this case, one time is used to excrete feces and the other four to six times are used to excrete urine. In other words, the daily amount of water used to discharge urine is 55 ~ 70ℓ has been pointed out as a cause of water shortage.

As shown in these drawings, the flushing female-only urinal of the present embodiment is a flushing female-only urinal for women, unlike the flushing toilets generally installed in homes, office buildings, or public restrooms, that is, toilets or toilets. , Urinal body 100, and a water discharge unit 200 for preventing odor backflow coupled to the urinal body 100.

The urinal body 100 is formed as a seat so that women can sit comfortably in the chair. The urinal body 100 may be made of ceramics, that is, a pottery material.

However, since the scope of the present invention is not limited to these matters, the urinal body 100 may be made of another material.

Inside the urinal body 100, when the women urinate, the urine space 110 containing the urine is formed therein.

At this time, the urine space 110 is formed smaller than the stool space volume of the flush toilet, that is, toilet or left toilet is generally installed in homes, office buildings or public toilets.

For example, the urine space 110 provided in the urinal body 100 of the present embodiment is much smaller than the stool space of the toilet containing about 12 to 13 L of water to be discharged. This is because, because the flushing female-only urinal of the present embodiment is only for urine, less water is sufficient than when using feces.

The bottom 111 is formed at the bottom of the urine space 110 of the urinal body 100, and one side of the bottom 111 is formed with an outlet 112 through which urine and water for washing urine, that is, washing water, are discharged. .
