Description

Toilet bowl cleaning agent supply system {APPARATUS TO SUPPLY CLEANING MATERIAL FOR A TOILET BOWL}

The present invention relates to a toilet cleaner supply device, and more particularly, to a toilet bowl cleaning agent supply device having an improved structure to prevent corrosion of the toilet parts by preventing excessive supply of the cleaning agent to the washing water of the toilet bowl.

In general, a left toilet stores washing water in a water tank, and in addition to the washing water previously received in a predetermined amount in a reservoir formed in the toilet, the washing water flows from the water tank so that the dirt is washed away with the washing water. Accordingly, there is an inconvenience of frequent cleaning because dirt and odors and bacteria are propagated on the surface of the reservoir of the toilet.

Accordingly, the cleaning agent is supplied to the washing water so that dirt does not get on the surface of the water reservoir of the toilet bowl, and the supply of such a detergent is such that the cleaning agent is dissolved in the washing water by simply immersing the solid detergent in the washing water of the water tank.

These toilet cleaners are generally composed of a composition containing a surfactant, an alcohol-based component, and a dye. They cleanse and disinfect the surface of the toilet to prevent dirt from accumulating. The aesthetic is making you feel.

However, as the solid detergent is immersed in the washing water of the water tank, there is a problem that the detergent component is excessively dissolved in the washing water, thereby corroding the metal parts of the water tank and reducing the rubber packing.

In order to solve this problem, conventionally, in Korean Utility Model Publication No. 20-0455430 (registration date August 30, 2011), cleaning agent is stored, and both ends of the cleaning agent reservoir located inside the reservoir tank of the toilet are required. It is connected to the water supply pipe between the valve and the flush valve, the central pipe diameter (wc) is narrower than the peripheral pipe diameter (ws), and the venturi pipe including a through hole in the central part, the detergent reservoir and the through hole A cleaning agent supply pipe connecting to, and a pipe diameter adjusting screw capable of adjusting a pipe diameter of the cleaning agent supply pipe, wherein the cleaning agent is from the cleaning agent reservoir due to a pressure difference generated in the central portion of the venturi pipe when storage water passes through the water supply pipe. Disclosed is an automatic toilet cleaning agent supply device, characterized in that it is introduced into the water supply pipe.

However, the conventional automatic toilet cleaning agent supply device has a check valve on the storage water input side of the Venturi tube, so the structure is complex, and the separate cleaning agent storage tank must be accommodated in a narrow space in the wash water tank. During supply, the cleaning agent is continuously added, and there is still a problem of corrosion such as parts and packing of the conventional backflow preventer due to the problem of excessive injection of the cleaning agent. In the case of such corrosion of the backflow preventer parts and packing in the tank, the washing water in the tank flows back to other furniture with high water pressure, or in the case of corrosion of the packing, the washing water with the detergent melted leaks to other furniture on the lower floor. As a result, serious social problems may arise.
