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

Before describing the present invention, the following specific structural or functional descriptions are merely illustrative for the purpose of describing an embodiment according to the concept of the present invention, and embodiments according to the concept of the present invention may be embodied in various forms, And should not be construed as limited to the embodiments described herein.

In addition, since the embodiments according to the concept of the present invention can make various changes and have various forms, specific embodiments are illustrated in the drawings and described in detail herein. However, it should be understood that the embodiments according to the concept of the present invention are not intended to limit the present invention to specific modes of operation, but include all modifications, equivalents and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the present invention.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the toilet odor removing device according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a toilet bowl body 100.

The toilet bowl 100 has a conventional structure and stores a predetermined amount of water therein. The toilet bowl 100 is configured to discharge waste discharged from the toilet bowl to the sewage purifier through a drain hole 110.

At this time, the water used for discharging the excrement to the sewage purifier is supplied with the supply water stored in the water tank T provided at one side of the upper part of the toilet body 100, and the connection structure is the same as the conventional one.

In particular, a plurality of ejection openings 120 are formed in the circumferential direction on the inner circumferential surface of the upper end of the toilet bowl body 100 to wash out foreign matter and urine which are splashed when the toilet bowl touches the inner wall surface of the toilet bowl body 100, The supply water supply chamber 130 is connected to the water tank T so that the supply water supply chamber 130 is supplied together with the supply water.

In the present invention, the structure of the toilet body 100 having such a basic structure is used as it is, while the odor and pathogenic bacteria generated in the toilet bowl body 100 during use are supplied to the intake pipe SP connected to the overflow pipe 200 And then discharged directly to a drain 110 connected directly to the sewage purifying tank through an exhaust pipe DP built in a double pipe form in the overflow pipe 200 to remove odor and bacteria So that it can be discharged to the sewage tank immediately.

To this end, the present invention applies an overflow pipe (200) provided in a water tank (T) in which feces is stored.

The overflow pipe 200 is an auxiliary mechanism that prevents the water in the water tank T from overflowing by flowing overflow to the toilet bowl main body 100 when the water level in the water tank T becomes equal to or more than a certain level.

The overflow pipe 200 is connected to one side of a main supply pipe 300 that supplies water in the water tank T to the toilet bowl 100. An operation lever The opening and closing cap 310 is opened when the operation lever 330 is pressed to lower the water after the toilet is opened and the water in the water tank T is kept at a predetermined water pressure, (100) and discharges the internal excrement to the sewage purifying tank.

When the water level is lowered, water is supplied from the outside and filled in the water tank T while the portion connected to the external supply pipe 340, that is, the water pipe P is opened. When the water level reaches a certain level, The supply valve (not shown) is closed to stop the water supply, and the opening / closing cap 310 seals the upper end of the main supply pipe 300 again due to its own weight.

Such a structure and operation is typical of a toilet bowl.

At this time, the main supply pipe (300) is only empty when discharging excretion, normally empty, and only when the overflow pipe (220) overflows, water is sucked and exhausted through the space at all times .

The first embodiment according to the present invention has been completed in consideration of this situation. For example, the valve unit 400 is mounted on the upper end of the overflow pipe 220 according to the present invention.

3 (a), the valve unit 400 includes a valve seat 410 having a sealing member 412 capable of sealing an upper opening of the overflow pipe 200, A valve body 460 serving as a guide for allowing the valve seat 410 to move up and down, a valve body 440 fitted to the valve body 460, A fixing plate 440 fixed to the upper end of the valve body 460 and a discharge port 440 communicating with the overflow pipe 200 through the fixing plate 440 and the valve body 460, 450, and a supplementary water supply port (WSS) communicating with the overflow pipe 220 through the valve seat 410.

A flexible intake pipe SP is connected to the exhaust port 450. The intake pipe SP is connected to a blower 500 fixed above the water surface of the water tank T, ). ≪ / RTI >

In this case, a control box 510 is provided at the side of the blower 500 so that the control box 510 is watertightly connected to the blower 500 to control the signal processing through the detection sensor related to the operation of the blower 500 As shown in FIG.

In this case, the intake pipe SP may not necessarily be connected to the exhaust port 450 but may be connected to the overflow pipe 200 through the upper end of the overflow pipe 200, as shown in FIG. 2, At this time, it is preferable that the exhaust port 450 and the replenishment water supply port (WSS) are kept closed to increase the suction force. In other words, in this case, the valve unit 400 is considered to be utilized only as a simple sealing means.

In addition, the blower 500 and the control box 510 may have a partition wall structure on the upper side of the water tank T, and may be installed inside the space partitioned by the partition wall. That is, the blower 500 and the control box 510 may be selectively installed inside or outside the water tank T.

In addition, the valve unit 400 is not limited to the above-described structure, but a solenoid valve may be mounted on the valve unit 400 to normally close the valve unit 400 to suck odors and pathogens. It may be configured to be opened under the control signal of the control box 510 when it is necessary to discharge it. This may be configured to detect the detection signal of the detection sensor, that is, detect the body temperature of the user, And the communication between the detection sensor and the control box 510 can be utilized not only for the wire but also for the wireless communication. This part is well known, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The valve unit 400 may be modified as shown in FIG. 3 (b). In this case, the valve seat 410 may be opened or closed by using a hinged buoyant body 420 such as a boule And is operated according to the water level in the water tank (T).

The support body 470 is fixed to one side of the overflow pipe 200 and the end of the lever 422 for fixing the buoyant body 420 is fixed to the upper end of the support body 470 by a hinge H and fixed at the same time while hinging the valve seat 410 to a part of the lever 422. The valve seat 410 has an exhaust port 450 communicating with the overflow pipe 200, The supplementary water supply port WSS that passes through the valve seat 410 and communicates with the overflow pipe 200 is piped so as not to interfere with the portion where the valve seat 410 is hinged to the lever 422, The valve unit 400 may be configured to perform the same operation as in Fig. 3A.

An exhaust gas pipe DP is connected to a discharge end of the blower 500 and the exhaust gas pipe DP is inserted into a lower end of the overflow pipe 200 to form a double pipe. And is directly connected to the drain port 110 of the toilet bowl main body 100 through the supply pipe 300.

In this case, the exhaust pipe DP is also a flexible pipe, and is rigidly illustrated in a straight line in the drawing, and is not limited to such a pipe shape.

In other words, it is built in the overflow pipe 200 to form a double pipe structure, thereby facilitating piping, making the exterior clean and dirty, and, most of all, preventing odors and pathogens that are inhaled from being stuck somewhere in the toilet bowl main body 100 It is the most characteristic feature that it is designed to discharge it directly to the sewage purifier.

At this time, a check valve (CK) is installed in a part of the length of the exhaust pipe (DP) to prevent the odor of the sewage purifying tank or the pathogen from flowing backward.

In addition, it is needless to say that the exhaust pipe (DP) may be connected directly to the sewage purifying tank rather than the drain port (110) as illustrated by the broken line in FIG.

When the user sits on the toilet seat for toilet use, the sensor senses the sensation immediately and sends a detection signal to the control box 510, A control unit (not shown) in the box 510 drives the blower 500.

Then, the odor and pathogenic bacteria inside the toilet bowl body 100 are sucked into the blower 500 through the main supply pipe 300, the overflow pipe 200, the suction pipe SP, and the blower 500 is kept at a constant discharge pressure The inhaled odors and pathogens are exhausted to the drain 110 of the toilet bowl body 100 through the exhaust pipe DP so as to be directly discharged to the sewage purifying tank.

As a result, the phenomenon that a part of the pathogenic bacteria including odors are left somewhere in the toilet bowl body 100 is eliminated as in the conventional method, so that a more comfortable toilet culture can be established.

That is, by completely improving the structure of the overflow pipe 200 including the toilet bowl main body 100 so that odor and pathogens can be directly treated immediately in the sewage-water separating tank, an entirely novel effect can not be obtained in the conventional structure.

Therefore, by using the left side lid of such a structure, the discomfort such as improving the health of the family, preventing various skin diseases, and covering the toilet lid every time when using the toilet disappears, which contributes to the improvement of the national health .

In another embodiment, a direct coupling type exhaust structure as shown in FIG. 4 may be implemented.

4, the blower 500 is fixed to a part of the outer circumferential surface of the toilet bowl main body 100, and the main supply pipe 300, The exhaust pipe is connected to the exhaust end of the blower 500. The exhaust pipe DP is connected to the exhaust end of the blower 500. The exhaust pipe DP is connected to the exhaust end of the blower 500, DP may be piped in a sealed state through the toilet bowl main body 100 to be in direct communication with the drain hole 110 or may be directly connected to the sewage purifying line or may be connected to a sewage purifying line through a separate pipe It is also possible to arrange such that it is connected to the piping so that odor and pathogens can be sucked and discharged directly after being sucked into the sewage purifying tank.

Also in this case, it is needless to say that the suction efficiency can be increased by providing the valve unit 400 at the upper end of the overflow pipe 200.

An example of direct discharge to the sewage purifying tank is as shown by the broken line in Fig.

In the third embodiment, the structure of the blower 500 and the exhaust gas pipe DP is the same as that of the second embodiment. In the third embodiment, The suction port SP is connected to the rear end of the toilet seat 600 and the suction passage 610 is formed in the toilet seat 600. A part of the suction passage 610, SP are connected to operate the blower 500 so that odor and pathogens inside the toilet bowl 100 can be sucked into the suction flow path 610 and discharged to the sewage purifying tank directly through the blower 500, The pathogen may be configured not to remain in any part of the toilet seat.

In this case as well, it is of course possible to increase the suction efficiency by providing the valve unit 400 at the upper end of the overflow pipe 200.

As described above, the first, second, and third embodiments according to the present invention are characterized in that the malodor and pathogens are directly piped to the sewage purifier, It is the core of.

In addition, it is needless to say that the configuration of the second and third embodiments described above can be implemented in the direct connection type in which the water pipe is directly connected to the main supply pipe 300 without excluding the overflow pipe 200.
