Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a valve for toilet seat,

The present invention relates to a toilet valve provided in a water tank of a toilet seat of a left side type, and more particularly, to a toilet valve capable of controlling the amount of water discharged from the water tank to the toilet according to the waste feces.

FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of a conventional toilet valve, and FIG. 2 is a conceptual view of a state of use of a conventional toilet valve.

A flange (51) is provided at the edge of the toilet valve (50), and a top surface of the flange (51) is closed And a pulling string 53 is formed so as to protrude so as to connect the pulling string 53 to the pulling string hook 53. The lower portion of the toilet valve 50 corresponds to the water outlet 41 And a hollow hemispherical stopper 55 is disposed. In addition, an opening is formed in the lower center of the stopper 55.

The toilet valve as described above does not distinguish between the faeces and the urine, but rather reduces the same amount of water. Therefore, when urinating, the unnecessary large amount of water is drained, thereby wasting water.

Various research results have been proposed to solve the above problems.

Generally, the techniques proposed in the prior art are to install two toilet valves in a water tank, one on the bottom of a water tank and the other on a higher level, It was possible to save water by reducing the amount of water in the city.

However, such a structure requires two toilet valves, and each toilet valve requires an outlet to provide two outlets, and a toilet on the left should have two inlets corresponding to each outlet. Therefore, in order to use the toilet valve of this type, there is a problem that the replacement cost is too high since all parts from the toilet seat to the water tank must be newly installed.

The toilet valve is a structure in which the first rotating body 100 and the second rotating body 200 are hinged together.

First, the first rotating body 100 will be described.

The first rotating body 100 includes a ring-shaped base body 110, a hinge connection part 120, a first hinge coupling part 130, and a first pulling string engagement part 140.

The ring-shaped base body 110 has a cap through-hole 111 formed at the center thereof.

The stopper through hole 111 serves to insert the stopper 220 of the second rotating body 200 to be described later while the second rotating body 200 rotates with respect to the first rotating body 100 It is also used as a passage through which water in a water tank is discharged.

The hinge connection block 120 is provided at one side of the ring-shaped base body 110 and is hinged to the overflow pipe, which is a well-known structure in the prior art, and thus a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The first hinge engaging part 130 and the first pulling string engaging part 140 are formed on the other side of the ring-shaped base body 110.

In this embodiment, the first hinge coupling part 130 and the first pulling string hooking part 140 are formed together at a portion protruding from the other side of the ring-shaped base body 110, but this can be changed as much as the embodiment have.

The first hinge coupling portion 130 is a portion where the second hinge coupling portion 230 described later is hinged.

A first pulling string (301) is caught in the first pulling string catching part (140). In the case of the present embodiment, the first pulling string 301 is used for the counterweight.

The second rotating body 200 is coupled to the first rotating body 100 as described above.

The second rotating body 200 includes an upper plate part 210, a stopper part 220, a second hinge coupling part 230, and a second pulling string hooking part 240.

A flange portion 211 is formed at the edge of the upper plate portion 210 to be seated on the upper portion of the ring-shaped base body 110.

When the flange portion 211 is seated on the upper portion of the ring-shaped base body 110, no water is discharged between the flange portion 211 and the ring-shaped base body 110. Of course, packing and the like may be provided between the flange portion 211 and the ring-shaped base body 110 according to the embodiment to improve the watertightness function.

And a second pulling string hooking part 230 is formed at an upper portion of one side of the upper plate part 210. And the second pulling string engaging portion 230 is engaged with the second pulling string 302. In this embodiment, the second pulling string 302 is used for urine.

And a second hinge coupling part 230 is formed on the other side of the upper plate part 210. [ The second hinge coupling part 230 is hinged to the first hinge coupling part 130. That is, the second rotating body 200 can be rotated with respect to the first rotating body 100 by the hinge fastening of the first and second hinge coupling parts 130 and 230.

In the present embodiment, the first and second hinge coupling parts 130 and 230 are hinged to each other through the hinge shaft 231. However, according to the embodiment, the hinge fastening method of the first and second hinge coupling parts 130 and 230 can be applied in various ways.

A stopper 220 is provided at a lower portion of the upper plate 210.

The stopper portion 220 forms the buoyancy chamber 215 together with the upper plate portion 210. That is, the buoyancy chamber 215 is a space surrounded by the stopper 220 and the upper plate 210.

The stopper 220 is disposed through the stopper through hole 111 of the ring-shaped base body 110, and has a hemispherical shape.

Although the stopper 220 is shown separately from the upper plate 210 in the present embodiment, the stopper 220 may be integrally formed with the upper plate 210 as the case may be.

A main opening 223 is formed in the lower center of the stopper 220. The main opening 223 is a portion where a relatively large amount of water flows into the buoyancy chamber 215 when the toilet bowl valve is converted into an open state.

A second opening 222 is formed at one edge of the stopper 220 and a first opening 221 is formed at the other edge of the stopper 220.

The first opening 221 and the second opening 222 are formed to have different sizes. In this embodiment, the second opening 222 has a size larger than that of the first opening 221.

The first and second openings 221 and 222 are used as passages through which air in the buoyancy chamber 215 is discharged to the outside.

Meanwhile, the structure for operating the first and second pulling strings 301 and 302 can be applied as it is. That is, the pulling string related structure of the Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0457162 entitled " left flush toilet flush valve structure capable of regulating the water drop amount according to the faeces and urine "may be applied to operate the valve of the present invention.

Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described.

Normally, the toilet seat valve is kept closed as shown in Fig. 6 to prevent water from leaking out of the water tank.

This toilet valve is converted into the state shown in FIG. 7 or 8 by pulling the first and second pulling strings 301 and 302 upward.

First, a case where the first pulling string 301 is pulled will be described with reference to FIG. This is the case where water is discharged for a stool.

When the first pulling string 301 is pulled, the first rotating body 100 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction about the hinge connecting part 120 (refer to FIG. 7). At this time, the second rotating body 200 maintains the state of being seated on the first rotating body 100. By this rotation, the valve is opened and water starts to flow out from the water tank.

A relatively large amount of water flows into the buoyancy chamber 215 through the main opening 223 and the air in the buoyancy chamber 215 is discharged to the outside.

7, the air inside the buoyancy chamber 215 is gradually discharged to the outside through the first opening 221 (discharged in the form of continuous air bubbles), and the air is discharged through the buoyancy chamber 215 ). ≪ / RTI >

Thus, when the air in the buoyancy chamber 215 is continuously discharged, the buoyancy of the valve becomes smaller than that of the valve itself, so that the valve finally loses its buoyancy and rotates clockwise due to its own load. Thus, when the valve is closed, the water tank rotor water does not flow out.

At this time, the time until the valve is opened and closed is determined by the time required for the air to be discharged through the first opening (221) and the valve to lose buoyancy.

The first opening 221 is formed in a relatively small size so that air can be discharged more slowly so that a relatively large amount of water can be discharged to the toilet.

Next, a case of pulling the second pulling string 302 will be described with reference to FIG. This is the case when water is discharged for urine.

When the second pulling string 302 is pulled, the first rotating body 100 is kept in the state where the second rotating body 200 is moved to the first hinge engaging portion 130 of the first rotating body 100 (Refer to Fig. 8). That is, the second rotating body 200 rotates around the second hinge engaging part 230. By this rotation, the valve is opened and water starts to flow out from the water tank.

A relatively large amount of water flows into the buoyancy chamber 215 through the main opening 223 and the air in the buoyancy chamber 215 is discharged to the outside.

8, the air inside the buoyancy chamber 215 is gradually discharged to the outside through the second opening 222 (discharged in the form of continuous air bubbles), and the air is discharged through the buoyancy chamber 215 ). ≪ / RTI >

Thus, when the air in the buoyancy chamber 215 is continuously discharged, the buoyancy of the valve becomes smaller than that of the valve itself, so that the valve finally loses its buoyancy and rotates clockwise due to its own load. Thus, when the valve is closed, the water tank rotor water does not flow out.

At this time, the time until the valve is opened and closed is determined by the time taken for the air to be discharged through the second opening 222 to lose the buoyancy.

The second opening 222 is formed in a relatively large size so that air can be discharged more quickly, thereby allowing a relatively small amount of water to be discharged to the toilet.
