On the other hand, a plurality of suction ports 300 are connected to the tube 200 disposed along the tunnel part 110, and the suction ports 300 are connected in a branched form from the tube 200 at predetermined intervals. The stench of the toilet bowl 10 is sucked through the suction port 300 and moves along the tube 200.

Preferably, in order to allow air intake from the inside of the toilet bowl 10 through the suction port 300 to be smoothly provided, an adhesive pad 130 is provided on the lower surface of the toilet bowl 100, so that the toilet bowl 10 rests on the toilet bowl 10. When the intake port 300 is located outside the region where it is to be sealed to some extent.

In addition, one or more pressure sensors 400 are installed on the lower surface of the seat 100 to allow a user to sense sitting on the seat 100 to use the toilet. The pressure sensor 400 is configured to detect when a predetermined pressure is applied, for example, it is possible to recognize when a load of about 20 kg is applied to the seat.

In particular, the present invention is provided with a gas-liquid mixing tank 500 separate from the reservoir 20, the gas-liquid mixing tank 500 is installed near the direct water line 30 in which direct water flows into the lower side of the toilet bowl 10. .

In the present invention, it is easy to install by simply connecting the gas-liquid mixing tank 500 to the direct toilet line 30 of the existing toilet, and at the same time, when seeing the toilet, the odor generated in the toilet 10 is directly sucked to treat the water. It is characterized in that it is possible to decompose through.

That is, the gas-liquid mixing tank 500 connected to the direct water line 30 serves to primarily decompose the odor flowing through the tube 200. To this end, the gas-liquid mixing tank 500 has a direct water inlet 510. , Suction gas inlet 520 and outlet 530 are provided.

On the other hand, there is provided a suction fan 600 for suctioning the odor of the toilet bowl 10, one side of the suction fan 600 is connected to the suction gas inlet 520, the other side is connected to the end of the tube 200 to suck The gas can be supplied into the gas-liquid mixing tank 500.

And the discharge port 530 provided in the gas-liquid mixing tank 500 is connected to the reservoir 20 to discharge the first-processed gas-liquid mixture inside the gas-liquid mixing tank 500.

That is, the odor component introduced into the gas-liquid mixing tank 500 is first decomposed while being mixed with water, and then discharged to the reservoir 20 to be mixed with more water and secondly decomposed to be used as toilet flushing water. .

The direct water supplied through the direct water inlet 510 of the gas-liquid mixing tank 500 moves to the reservoir 20, where the odor gas sucked through the intake gas inlet 520 is mixed with the direct water and causes bubbles. By flowing, the odor gas undergoes primary decomposition, and after being discharged to the reservoir 20 through the discharge port 530, the odor gas is secondary decomposed by a large amount of water while staying in the reservoir 20.

Preferably, the inlet valve 501 is provided at the inlet gas inlet 520, the direct water inlet 510, and the outlet 530, and the on / off valve 501 uses an electromagnetic valve that opens and closes by a command of a control unit (not shown). Do it.

When the user sits on the seat 100, a load is applied to the pressure sensor 400, and the pressure sensor 400 senses this and transmits a detection signal to the control unit. The control unit that receives the signal of the pressure sensor 400 gives a control command so that the suction fan 600 can be operated, and when the suction fan 600 is operated, the toilet bowl through a plurality of suction ports 300 connected to the tube 200 The odor of (10) is inhaled.

Simultaneously with the operation of the suction fan 600, the opening / closing valve 501 of the suction gas inlet 520 connected to the gas-liquid mixing tank 500 is controlled to be opened, whereby the odor along the tube 200 is a gas-liquid mixing tank ( 500).

On the other hand, when the suction fan 600 is operated, the opening / closing valve 501 of the direct water inlet 510 is also opened to supply direct water into the gas-liquid mixing tank 500, whereby the odor sucked into the gas-liquid mixing tank 500 As the gas is mixed with water, primary decomposition is performed and flows to move to the reservoir 20.

In particular, the apparatus for removing odor through water treatment according to the present invention has an advantage that it can be easily installed by replacing only the base on the existing toilet. In addition, in the present invention, unlike conventional toilets, water is not always stored in the reservoir.

In other words, in the conventional toilet system, water is always stored in the water reservoir to the full water level, and then, after toileting, a large amount of water is discharged at a time to be used as washing water. However, over time, in many cases, when the discharge cover provided on the bottom of the reservoir is aged or is not properly seated, water in the reservoir is continuously discharged and water is wasted.

On the other hand, in the present invention, the water level of the reservoir 20 is normally stored such that only the minimum water level, which is the minimum water level, is stored or the reservoir is empty. Allowing water to be stored at a minimum level is intended to be used as cleaning water when urinating, but this can be applied selectively.

Basically, in the present invention, there is no water in the reservoir 20, and when the user descends the base 100 and sits on the base 100 to view the toilet, when the pressure sensor 400 detects it, the direct water inlet 510 ) When the opening / closing valve 501 is opened, direct water flows into the gas-liquid mixing tank 500, and at the same time, the suction fan 600 is operated to inhale the odor gas from the toilet bowl 10, and the suction gas inlet 520 The on-off valve 501 is also opened, and the on-off valve 501 of the discharge port 530 is also opened.

When direct water flows through the direct water inlet 510, the odor gas sucked from the suction gas inlet 520 flows while being mixed along the flow of the direct water, and bubbles are generated during this process, thereby causing primary odor gas to flow. Decomposition takes place. Since the discharge port 530 is connected to the reservoir 20, the malodorous gas that is first decomposed in the gas-liquid mixing tank 500 is discharged to the reservoir 20 together with water to collect in the reservoir.

The reservoir 20 is provided with a water level sensor (not shown), and water is continuously supplied to the reservoir until water is collected to the water level.

The odor gas remaining by a large amount of water in the state in which the odor gas is mixed with the direct water into the reservoir 20 is decomposed again, and when the user presses the button after seeing all the toilets, the reservoir 20 The collected water and the odor gas mixed with the water are discharged to the washing water.

When the water level in the reservoir 20 reaches the full level, the supply of direct water is stopped, and when the user presses a button to discharge the water collected in the reservoir, all the water in the reservoir is discharged and the reservoir remains empty. do. Therefore, in the case of the present invention, it is possible to eliminate the waste of water due to water leakage than the existing case where water is always full in the reservoir, and at the same time, when the user wants to use the toilet to view the toilet, water is supplied and the odor is also decomposed. This provides the advantage of being able to be removed.

Meanwhile, a bypass pipe 540 connected to the tube 200 may be provided at the direct water inlet 510, and when direct water is supplied to the bypass pipe 540, toward the tube 200 and the suction port 300 It may be configured such that washing is performed while direct water flows.

In addition, more preferably in constructing the malodor removal device through water treatment of the present invention, the malodor detection sensor is attached to the reservoir or toilet bowl, and the signal of the malodor detection sensor is transmitted to the control unit so that even if the toilet is not used, In case of bad odor, the direct water supply and suction fan may be periodically operated to remove the odor gas.

The present invention is a useful technique that can be installed on the toilet bowl to effectively reduce and eliminate odor.
