Abstract

FIELD: construction.

SUBSTANCE: tank comprises a body divided by a partition into two compartments, each of which is equipped with a bellows with a control stem. In each compartment there is one hole with a supply valve to supply water and one drain hole. Drain holes are made in the second bottom, located above the bottom with the common drain hole. One compartment is a compartment for pure tap water, and the other compartment is a compartment for spent water. The compartment for spent water is made as capable of arrival of spent water via a partition with height h or via a hole in it, arranged at the height h, into the compartment for pure tap water. The supply valve for supply of pure tap water is adjusted to supply water to the height h_1, and the supply valve for supply of spent water is adjusted to supply water to the height h₂, besides, h₂>h≥h₁. The method of toilet tank operation includes usage of a tank of above design.

EFFECT: reduced flow rate of pure tap water or its complete elimination, improved hygiene and quality of users life.

Description

 The group of inventions relates to the field of plumbing, and in particular to the design of flush toilet tanks, and can be used in the toilet rooms of residential, industrial and other premises.

A well-known toilet tank containing a housing divided by a partition into two compartments into which clean tap water is supplied through one locking device (patent RU 60550 U1 E03D 11/00, published on January 27, 2007). However, its disadvantage is the high consumption of clean tap water.

The specified tank is the closest technically the present invention.

The objective of the invention is the saving of pure tap water.

The technical result of the invention is to reduce the consumption of pure tap water or its complete elimination while improving and accelerating the flushing of the toilet bowl, increasing hygiene and improving the quality of life of users, saving energy resources, including heating the room.

The specified technical result is achieved due to the fact that in the toilet tank (hereinafter referred to as the tank), comprising a housing divided by a partition into two compartments, each of which is equipped with a siphon with a control rod and each of which has one hole with a water supply device and one drain hole, while the drain holes are made in the second day, located above the bottom with a common drain hole, one compartment is a compartment for clean tap water, and the other compartment is a compartment for wastewater, the wastewater compartment is configured to allow wastewater to enter through a baffle of height h or through an opening in it at a height of h into the compartment for clean tap water, while the feed valve for supplying clean tap water is adjusted to supply water to height h ₁ , and the supply valve for supplying waste water (from the washbasin and / or sink and / or shower) is adjusted to supply water to a height of h ₂ , and h ₂ > h≥h ₁ .

The drawing conventionally shows the tank, a General view.

The tank contains a housing 1 with an opening 2 for supplying tap water and an opening 3 for supplying waste water. An additional bottom 5 is installed above the bottom 4, in which two drain holes 6 and 7 are made. The body of the tank 1 is divided by a partition 8 of height h into two compartments 9 and 10. The compartment 9 is used to receive clean tap water, the compartment 10 is intended for wastewater. A common drain hole 11 is made in the bottom 4 of the housing 1. The toilet bowl is equipped with siphons 12 and 13 with control rods 14 and 15, respectively. The siphon 12 is controlled by a handle 16 fixed on the upper end of the rod 14, the siphon 13 is controlled by a handle 17 fixed on the upper end of the rod 15. The tank is equipped with a supply valve 18 with a float 19 for supplying clean tap water to the compartment 9 to a height of h ₁ and a supply valve 20 with a float 21 for supplying waste water to the compartment 10 to a height of h ₂ . Obviously, the water level will rise to a height of h ₂ only after filling with water to the indicated height of compartments 9 and 10.

The tank is used as follows.

There are several options for the operation of the tank.

1. Wastewater entering through the supply valve 20 is sufficient for the timely filling of compartments 9 and 10.

The flow of clean tap water into the tank through the supply valve 18 is blocked. The waste compartments of the tank 9 and 10 are filled with waste water. If necessary, flush the urine out of the toilet bowl (not shown), the user lifts the handle 17 connected via the rod 15 to the siphon 13 and opens the hole 7 in the additional day 5. In this case, the waste water from the compartment 10 through holes 7 and 11 goes into the toilet bowl.

For flushing use wastewater from compartment 9 or compartment 10.

The user lifts, for example, a handle 17 connected via a rod 15 to a siphon 13, and opens the hole 7 in the additional day 5. The waste water from the compartment 10 through the holes 7 and 11 goes into the toilet bowl.

If necessary, re-flush using water from the compartment 9, without waiting for the filling of water compartment 10.

Improvements in flushing quality can be achieved through the simultaneous use of water from compartments 9 and 10 through simultaneous exposure to the handles 16 and 17.

2. Waste water is sufficient only to fill compartment 10.

Clean tap water enters the compartment 9 through the supply valve 18, and the compartment 10 is filled with waste water through the supply valve 20. The flush is carried out with the spent water from the compartment 10, if necessary, it is repeated with clean tap water from the compartment 9.

3. Waste water is temporarily absent.

The compartment 9 by the supply valve 18 to a height of h _{1 is} filled with clean tap water. To flush, the user lifts the handle 16, after which the water rushes through the openings 6 and 11 into the toilet bowl.

A compartment for clean tap water and a compartment for wastewater perform approximately equal volumes. Waste water is intended for flushing. Clean tap water from compartment 9 is used only when necessary.

In addition, to improve the quality of flushing, flushing can be performed by simultaneously raising the arms 16 and 17 and directing water from the compartments 9 and 10 into the toilet bowl.

A method of operating a toilet bowl, including the use of a toilet bowl flush, is that the tank described above is used to flush the toilet.

The use of "free" waste water stimulates a more frequent and better hand washing, which helps to improve hygiene and the prevention of various diseases. Due to the use of warmer waste water in the toilet bowl, not only is the flush improved, but the temperature in the bathroom is also increased, which saves the cost of heating the room and creates more comfortable conditions for the user. Saving costs improves the quality of life, allowing the user to spend his financial resources on other needs.
