Description

Sanitary Toilet Cover {Method and Apparatus of Providing Sanitary Toilet Cover}

The present invention relates to a structure and operation method of a toilet lid and a toilet seat for preventing the spread of aerosol generated when flushing a toilet bowl and providing easy opening and closing of the toilet lid and toilet seat seat.

Toilet bowls, which are used every day in all places where modern people live, are composed of pottery, a lid, and a sheet. 1 shows the structure of a toilet that is commonly used, and after toileting, the lid 103 is closed and the water flushing handle 101 is pressed, so that the water contained in the water tank 102 remains in the pottery 105. It works in a way to wash off.

In the Channel A “Doctor Zhivago” program broadcast on November 27, 2017, it was broadcast that aerosol containing feces spreads when flushing the toilet and contaminates toothbrushes and towels provided in the bathroom. Korea Safety Newspaper 2009 An article dated July 15, 2018, “Public toilets are a country of germs,” cited the United Nations World Health Data, saying that 2 million people die annually worldwide due to poor sanitary toilets, and most of these deaths are children under the age of 5 with weak immunity. In particular, 80% of female cervical cancer is caused by secondary infection through toilets, etc., and it is pointed out that the problem is serious. In addition, in a paper (Virus transmission from urinals, Ji-Xiang Wang) published in the journal Physics of Fluid on June 16, 2020, a computer simulation showed that corona 19 aerosol spreads more than 1 meter when the toilet is flushed, and the virus It is clear that the propagation is accelerated.

Most users do not use the toilet lid 103 because the toilet lid 103 of the toilet, especially a public toilet, is not only in an unsanitary state due to poor management, but also the act of opening and closing the toilet lid 103 by hand causes uncomfortable psychology. The unclosed body is pouring down the water, and due to this, aerosol diffusion is neglected. Therefore, in order to prevent the spread of aerosols generated in the toilet and to prevent indirect infection that may occur when the toilet lid 103 or sheet 104 is touched by hand, the more hygienic toilet lid 103 and sheet 104 ) needs to be provided.

It is recommended to close the lid 103 and flush the water, but since the existing lid 103 simply covers the sheet 104, an empty space exists between the lid 103 and the sheet 104. Therefore, when the lid 103 is closed and the water is flushed, the aerosol may be adsorbed to the seat 104, so that when the next user sits down, contaminants may be applied to the thighs. In addition, in order to close the lid 103 and flush the water, the contaminated lid 103 is touched by hand, increasing the possibility of indirect infection with bacteria or viruses. In particular, in the case of a toilet commonly used by men and women, the possibility of indirect infection may be higher in the process of individually opening and closing the lid 103 and the sheet 104. Therefore, it is desirable to provide a method for hygienically and conveniently opening and closing the lid 103 and the sheet 104 .

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the diffusion of aerosol generated when flushing the toilet can be prevented, the adsorption of aerosol to the toilet seat can be prevented, and the lid and seat can be easily opened and closed, making the toilet more hygienic. can provide.
