Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an air suction device for toilet drainage channel.
  • Patent Document 1 discloses one of conventional air suction devices for toilet drainage channel.
  • the air suction device is provided with air suction means for sucking air from a toilet drainage channel connected to the downstream side of a water sealing part of a toilet body.
  • a bypass pipe is connected to a water supply pipe which supplies flush water into a toilet bowl of the toilet body.
  • the bypass pipe is provided with an ejector generating negative pressure.
  • the air suction means has the ejector and a suction tank connected between the ejector and the toilet drainage channel.
  • the suction tank has an interior partitioned into an outside of a bellows (a first chamber) and an inside of the bellows (a second chamber).
  • the first chamber communicates with the ejector
  • the second chamber communicates with the toilet drainage channel.
  • a flush valve is provided on the water supply pipe located upstream of the bypass pipe.
  • the flush water Upon actuation of the flush valve in the air suction device, the flush water is caused to flow through the water supply pipe for a predetermined time thereby to be supplied into the toilet bowl. Since the flush water also flows through the bypass pipe into the ejector in this case, air in the first chamber of the suction tank is sucked by the ejector. As a result, the bellows in the suction tank is expanded. Air is sucked from the toilet drainage channel into the second chamber in the course of expansion of the bellows. An air suction step is thus carried out thereby to cause a siphon action.
  • the delivery of the flush water to the water supply pipe is stopped upon lapse of a predetermined time, whereby the supply of flush water to the toilet bowl is terminated.
  • This allows the water supply pipe downstream of flush valve, the bypass pipe and the first chamber to be open to the atmosphere, whereupon the bellows in the suction tank is contracted. Air in the second chamber is discharged into the toilet drainage channel in the course of contraction of the bellows. An air discharge step is thus carried out.
  • Patent Document 1 JP-A-H07-54388
  • the siphon action is caused under the condition where an amount of flush water supplied into the toilet bowl is small since the air suction step is carried out concurrently with the supply of flush water into the toilet bowl in the above-described conventional air suction device for toilet drainage channel. Accordingly, the siphon action is weaker than a siphon action caused with the use of potential energy obtained by supplying flush water into the toilet bowl so that a water level becomes sufficiently high in the toilet bowl. In this case, there is a possibility that sewage may insufficiently be discharged from the toilet bowl to the toilet drainage channel.
  • the siphon action caused by execution of the air suction step is terminated by discharging almost all flush water in the toilet bowl into the toilet drainage channel such that a water sealing part is broken. In this case, a breaking sound is produced.
  • the present invention was made in view of the foregoing conventional circumstances and the subject matter thereof is to provide an air suction device for a toilet drainage channel, which can perform good and silent toilet flushing.
  • the present invention provides an air suction device for a toilet drainage channel, provided with an air suction unit which sucks air from a toilet drainage channel connected to a downstream side of a water sealing part of a toilet body, the air suction unit having a negative pressure generator and a suction tank connected between the negative pressure generator and the toilet drainage channel, the air suction device comprising a control device which controls execution of an air suction step in which air is sucked from the toilet drainage channel by the suction tank and execution of a air discharge step in which the air is discharged into the toilet drainage channel by the suction tank, wherein the control device executes the air suction step after start of flush water supply to a toilet bowl of the toilet body and the air discharge step before termination of the flush water supply to the toilet bowl of the toilet body.
  • the air suction is executed in the state where a water level in the toilet bowl is sufficiently high after flush water supply to the toilet bowl, so that a siphon action is caused. Consequently, the siphon action is rendered stronger with the use of potential energy obtained by a rise of the water level in the toilet bowl, whereupon sewage can reliably be discharged into the toilet drainage channel.
  • the discharge flow is broken as the result of increase in an amount of air in the toilet drainage channel such that the siphon action can be terminated. In this case, no breaking sound is produced since the water sealing part is not broken.
  • the air suction device for the toilet drainage channel according to the invention can perform good and silent toilet flushing.
  • the control device executes the air discharge step while a discharge flow due to a siphon action is continuous in the toilet drainage channel after supply of the flush water into the toilet bowl.
  • the siphon action can reliably be terminated by the execution of the air discharge step.
  • the control device executes the air drainage step after the flush water supply to the toilet bowl has been interrupted and before the flush water supply to the toilet bowl is re-started for formation of a water sealing part. In this case, since the siphon action is reliably terminated, a water sealing part with a predetermined water level can be formed.
  • the suction tank has an interior partitioned into a first chamber and a second chamber by a diaphragm movable in an upward and/or a downward direction defined during installation of the suction tank, and that the first chamber is connected to the negative pressure generator and the second chamber is connected to the toilet drainage channel.
  • the siphon action can stably be caused since a predetermined amount of air is sucked from the toilet drainage channel according to an interior volume of the suction tank. Furthermore, the interior of the suction tank is divided into the first and second chambers by the diaphragm, and only the second chamber communicates with the toilet drainage channel, whereby the flush water containing sewage, air containing a foul odor and the like are reliably prevented from flowing into the negative pressure generator side.
  • Various negative pressure generators can be used only if these generators can generate negative pressure.
  • a mechanical pump or the like may be used other than the ejector which generates negative pressure by supplying flush water.

  • the toilet flushing device S comprises a flush water supplying device 100 and an air suction device 200 for the toilet drainage channel 5 .
  • the flush water supplying device 100 comprises a water conduit 10 connected to a water pipe and a first on-off valve V 1 opening and closing the water conduit 10 .
  • the water conduit 10 communicates with a water shutoff valve V 5 of a water pipe drawn out of a floor or wall surface of a toilet room in which the toilet body 1 is installed. Furthermore, a strainer device 11 incorporated with a water stop valve and a strainer and a constant flow rate valve 12 are provided upstream of the first on-off valve V 1 , and a vacuum breaker 13 is provided downstream of the first on-off valve V 1 .

  • To the outlet 22 is connected a delivery pipe 40 which extends to the rim 3 of the toilet body 1 .
  • the ejector 30 has a suction port 33 communicating with the outside.
  • the suction port 33 draws flush water from the outlet 32 thereby to suck air thereinto.

  • the on-off timing and the on-off period of each of the first, second, third and fourth on-off valves V 1 , V 2 , V 3 and V 4 are controlled by a control device C. Since the second, third and fourth on-off valves V 2 , V 3 and V 4 are for use with air, the valves V 2 , V 3 and V 4 are not subjected to a large pressure, whereupon these valves can be rendered smaller than on-off valves for use with water and is designed so as to be opened and closed with a smaller force.
  • the suction device 200 of the toilet drainage channel 5 comprises the ejector 30 , the first connecting pipe 110 , the check valve 111 , the negative pressure storage tank 70 , the second connecting pipe 120 , the third on-off valve V 3 , the third connecting pipe 130 , the fourth on-off valve V 4 , the suction tank 80 , the suction pipe 90 and the control device C.
  • the flush water supplying device comprises the water conduit 10 , the strainer device 11 , the constant flow rate valve 12 , the first on-off valve V 1 , the vacuum breaker 13 , the ejector 30 , the nozzle 50 , the tank 20 , the second on-off valve V 2 , the delivery pipe 40 , the first connecting pipe 110 , the second connecting pipe 120 , the third on-off valve V 3 and the control device C.
  • the first, second, third and fourth on-off valves V 1 , V 2 , V 3 and V 4 are closed during non-flushing before time t 1 .
  • flush water is stored in the tank 20 .
  • the diaphragm 83 in the suction tank 80 is in abutment with a lower inner wall surface of the suction tank 80 .
  • the first on-off valve V 1 is opened by the control device C.
  • flush water flowing though the connecting pipe 10 further flows through the ejector 30 into the swirl chamber 29 .
  • the ejector 30 sucks air in the negative pressure storage tank 70 through the first connecting pipe 110 and the check valve 111 .
  • the sucked air flows into the swirl chamber 29 together with flush water. Since the flush water is swirled in the swirl chamber 29 , air contained in the flush water is separated successfully thereby to be stored in an upper interior of the inflow chamber 25 .
  • negative pressure is gradually stored in the negative pressure storage tank 70 , and the water level in the inflow chamber 25 is gradually lowered by an amount corresponding to the air sucked from the negative pressure storage tank 70 .
  • the flush water supplied from the water conduit 10 and the flush water stored in the tank 20 whose amount corresponds to the amount of air sucked from the negative pressure storage tank 70 are supplied through the delivery pipe 40 into the rim 3 .
  • the flush water supplied into the rim 3 flows downward while swirling along an inner surface of the toilet bowl 2 , thereby forming a swirl flow. Sewage is collected by the swirl flow to a central part of the toilet bowl 2 .
  • Toilet paper is unhardened and fitted with flush water, being dispersed into the flush water.
  • the fourth on-off valve V 4 is opened at time t 2 in FIG. 3 by the control device C.
  • the negative pressure in the negative pressure storage tank 70 is transmitted through the first connecting pipe 110 , the third connecting pipe 130 and the fourth on-off valve V 4 to the first chamber 81 of the suction tank 80 , whereupon the pressure in the first chamber 81 becomes negative.
  • flush water is continuously supplied into the ejector 30 , air in the first chamber 81 is also sucked by the ejector 30 . Consequently, the diaphragm 83 in the suction tank 80 is rapidly lifted upward by the negative pressure in the negative pressure storage tank 70 in the beginning of the opening of the fourth on-off valve V 4 .
  • the diaphragm 83 is slowly lifted upward only by the ejector 30 until the diaphragm 83 abuts against the upper inner wall surface of the suction tank 80 .

  • the potential energy of the flush water due to the water head difference and air suction from the toilet drainage channel 5 cause the flush water in the toilet bowl 2 to rush into the toilet drainage channel 5 , whereby the toilet drainage channel 5 is filled with the flush water promptly such that a strong siphon action is produced. Accordingly, a discharge flow can promptly be formed by a smaller amount of flush water.
  • the filled state of the toilet drainage channel 5 to cause the siphon action is achieved not only by the state of the toilet drainage channel 5 completely filled with flush water but also a state where pressure balance is maintained between the upstream side and the downstream side of the toilet drainage channel 5 and the discharge flow is caused, and the filled state of the toilet drainage channel 5 includes the case where air remains in the toilet drainage channel 5 .
  • sewage centrally collected in the toilet bowl 2 by the swirl flow formed in the toilet bowl 2 is reliably discharged to the toilet drainage channel 5 with the flush water discharged to the toilet drainage channel 5 by the siphon action.
  • the toilet drainage channel 5 is disconnected from the downstream side by the retaining portion 6 such that the toilet drainage channel 5 is a closed space existing between the water sealing 4 and the retaining portion 6 . Accordingly, since a predetermined amount of air can reliably be sucked from the toilet drainage channel 5 , the siphon action can be caused.
  • the interior of the suction tank 80 is divided by the diaphragm 83 into the first and second chambers 81 and 82 , and only the second chamber 82 communicates with the toilet drainage channel 5 . Accordingly, the flush water containing sewage, the air containing foul odor and the like are reliably prevented from entering the negative pressure storage tank 70 or the ejector 30 .
  • the water level in the toilet bowl 2 is reduced to the height near the lowest level 2 a of the rear of the toilet bowl 2 at time t 3 in FIG. 3 .
  • the third on-off valve V 3 is opened and the fourth on-off valve V 4 is closed by the control device C.
  • An amount of flush water supplied into the rim 3 is increased before air flows from the toilet bowl 2 into the toilet drainage channel 5 and the siphon action is terminated, that is, before the water level in the toilet bowl 2 become lower than the lowest water level portion 2 a in the rear of the toilet bowl 2 .
  • the flush water supplied from the rim 3 is an addition of the flush water supplied from the water conduit 10 and the flush water stored in the tank 20 . Accordingly, since an amount of flush water supplied to the toilet bowl 2 per predetermined time is increased, the water sealing part 4 is not broken, the flush water in the toilet bowl 2 is swirled, and the siphon action is continued. Furthermore, the swirl flow in the toilet bowl 2 is intensified, and the flow of flush water is increased.
  • sewage remaining in the toilet bowl 2 is discharged so as to be forced out into the toilet drainage channel 5 , and lightweight sewage floating in the flush water can be discharged into the toilet drainage channel 5 .
  • the flush water supplied into the toilet bowl 2 by the flush water increasing step is still swirled at time t 4 in FIG. 3 , and the water sealing part 4 is not broken. In other words, the discharge flow due to the siphon action is continuous.
  • the first on-off valve V 1 is closed and the fourth on-off valve V 4 is opened by the control device C.
  • the atmospheric pressure is introduced into the first chamber 81 such that the diaphragm 83 is lowered, since the first chamber 81 of the suction tank 80 communicates with the outside through the fourth on-off valve V 4 , the third connecting pipe 130 , the first connecting pipe 110 , the second connecting pipe 120 and the third on-off valve V 3 .
  • the toilet drainage channel 5 cannot be retained in a state completely filled with the flush water, whereby the siphon action is terminated. That the toilet drainage channel 5 cannot be retained in the state completely filled with the flush water includes the case where the upstream side and the downstream side of the toilet drainage channel 5 are kept balanced in pressure even in the state where air remains in the toilet drainage channel 5 such that the state where the discharge flow is being caused cannot be maintained. In this case, no noise due to the braking of the water sealing part 4 is produced.
  • the first and second on-off valves V 1 and V 2 are opened and the fourth on-off valve V 4 is closed by the control device C at time t 5 in FIG. 3 .
  • the flush water flows into the swirl chamber 29 while the ejector 30 is sucking air from the outside. Air contained in the flush water is successfully separated in the swirl chamber 29 to be discharged through the atmospheric port 23 and the second on-off valve V 2 to the outside. Accordingly, the flush water is stored in the tank 20 until the predetermined water level before start of the flushing is reached.
  • the first on-off valve V 1 is closed and the fourth on-off valve V 4 is opened by the control device C at time t 6 in FIG. 3 .

Consequently, since the diaphragm 83 is returned to the predetermined position before flushing, the subsequent flushing can stably be executed. Thereafter, the second, third and fourth on-off valves V 2 , V 3 and V 4 are closed by the control device C at time t 7 in FIG. 3 .
  • the air suction device 200 for the toilet drainage channel 5 in accordance with embodiment 1 carries out toilet flushing successfully and silently.
  • the western flushing toilet of embodiment 2 has the same construction as embodiment 1 and differs from the western flushing toilet of embodiment 1 only in the operation of the toilet flushing device S.
  • the flush water supplied into the toilet bowl 2 by the flush water increasing step is also discharged into the toilet drainage channel 5 by the siphon action, whereupon an amount of flush water in the toilet bowl 2 is reduced. Accordingly, when air is rushed from the second chamber 82 into the toilet drainage channel 5 , the discharge flow established by the siphon action is intermitted, whereby the siphon action can be terminated immediately and reliably. Furthermore, since the water sealing 4 is not broken in this case, too, no noise due to the breaking of the water sealing part 4 is produced. Since the other operation of embodiment 2 is the same as that in embodiment 1, detailed description of the other operation will be eliminated.
  • the air suction device 200 for the toilet drainage channel in accordance with embodiment 2 can achieve the same effect of the invention in the same manner as in embodiment 1.
