Description

Cleaner supply control device

The present invention relates to a control device for a cleaning agent supply amount, and more particularly to a detergent control device suitable for use in a two-stage toilet tank.

For the cleaning and deodorization of toilets, it is common to put a solid cleaning ingot in the toilet tank, and then slowly dissolve and mix with the water in the tank to form a cleaning liquid. When the user flushes the toilet, It is possible to maintain the cleanliness and aroma of the toilet. However, the solid cleaning ingot is immersed in the toilet tank for a long time. If the toilet is used less frequently, the cleaning ingot is soaked for too long, causing the toilet tank to discharge more than the actual required concentration, thereby increasing the loss of the solid cleaning ingot; On the other hand, if the toilet tank is used frequently, the solid cleaning ingot cannot be dissolved immediately, and the concentration of the cleaning liquid discharged from the toilet tank is too low to achieve an effective cleaning effect.

In addition to the above-mentioned common cleaning methods, other related companies have successively proposed automatic cleaning liquid supply devices for cleaning, disinfecting or deodorizing the toilet. For example, in the case of the domestic patent M367939 "Water-based toilet cleaning (deodorizing) agent quantitative release device", although the cleaning liquid can be quantitatively released into the water tank and achieve the effect of cleaning and deodorization, the structure is quite complicated, assembly The cumbersomeness does not match the economic benefits, and the price of the product must not be close enough to the people. In addition, as in the case of the domestic patent M428207 "the toilet tank solution release device", the structure is relatively simple, but it can not be used in the water-saving toilet with large size and small amount design, and there is a shortcoming in the US; The design of the case is focused on the release of a quantitative cleaning solution. Therefore, if the release device is installed in a water-saving toilet tank, the amount of large water required for large-scale water discharge and the small amount of water required for small-sized water discharge are required. Because the amount released by the solution is fixed, the concentration of the cleaning liquid in the water tank cannot be kept stable, so that the cleaning effect of the large and small ones cannot be expected as expected, and the application level of the productization cannot be balanced.

Accordingly, the main object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning device supply control device that individually controls the supply amount of the discharged cleaning ingot by the operation of the small pressing member and the large pressing member, so that the large size The amount of water supplemented with the small toilet can be positively correlated with the number of large, small-sized cleaning ingots to maintain the stability of the concentration of the medicament in the toilet tank, and has the advantage of simple construction.

The control device for cleaning agent supply according to the present invention comprises a storage container, a first operating unit, a second operating unit, a first receiving member and a second receiving member. The storage container is installed in a toilet tank and is internally used for storing a cleaning ingot.
