Description

Description THE TOILET STOOL Technical Field

[1] The present invention relates to the toilet stool, and more particularly to, the toilet stool in which an additional ventilating device for connecting a ventilating hole provided in the main body of a toilet bowl and a ventilator to each other is provided so that, when the ventilator is operated, the smell in the main body of the toilet bowl is forcibly exhausted to the outside through the ventilating hole and that a user can use the toilet bowl without suffering from bad smell. Background Art

[2] In a commonly used toilet bowl 100, as illustrated in FTG. 1, when an operating lever 122 provided in a water tank 120 is operated, the water filled in the water tank 120 passes by a siphon watercourse 114 through a drainage hole 124 and some of the water that passed by the siphon watercourse 114 is exhausted through an exhausting unit 116 connected to a water purifier tank through an exhausting hole 115 formed on the lower end of the exhausting unit 116. At this time, since the exhausting hole 115 is small, the siphon watercourse 114 is filled with water. Next, water flows along the internal surface of the main body 110 through through holes 112 of a cleaning watercourse 117 formed on the circumference of the main body 110 of the toilet bowl as well as through the siphon watercourse 114 and then, flows to the exhausting unit 116.

[3] The excreta in the main body 110 of the toilet bowl are removed when the water that passes through the siphon watercourse 114 is sucked into the exhausting unit 116 by the suction force caused by the siphon operation of the water. The water that flows through the cleaning watercourse 117 and the through holes 112 and along the internal surface of the main body 110 of the toilet bowl cleans the alien substances on the internal surface of the main body of the toilet bowl and allows an uniform amount of water to be maintained in the main body of the toilet bowl.

[4] According to such a conventional toilet bowl, it is possible to clean the excreta. However, although the alien substances are cleaned by flowing water along the internal surface of the main body 100 through the through holes 112, the alien substances are not completely removed so that the smell is generated. In particular, the smell generated when a user eases nature is not removed. Disclosure of Invention Technical Problem

[5] The present invention has been developed in order to solve the above drawbacks and other problems associated with the conventional arrangement. It is an object of the present invention to provide a toilet bowl having a ventilating structure in which an additional ventilating device for connecting a ventilating hole provided in the main body of a toilet bowl and a ventilator to each other is provided so that, when the ventilator is operated, the smell in the main body of the toilet bowl is forcibly exhausted to the outside through the ventilating hole and that a user can use the toilet bowl without suffering from bad smell. Technical Solution

[6] The foregoing and other objects and advantages are substantially realized by providing a ventilating device whose one end is connected to a ventilating hole provided in a cleaning watercourse formed on the upper end of the main body of a toilet bowl and whose the other end is connected to a ventilator. When the ventilator operates, the smell in the main body is forcibly exhausted to the outside through through holes. The ventilating device includes an exhausting pipe for connecting the toilet bowl to the ventilator, a duct formed on the upper end of the exhausting pipe to surround the ventilator so that the air is inhaled, airtight rings, washers, and fastening members assembled on the lower end of the exhausting pipe and on the wall of the cleaning watercourse to fix the lower end of the exhausting pipe to the cleaning watercourse. Advantageous Effects

[7] As described above, according to the present invention, since the additional ventilating device for connecting the main body of the toilet bowl and the ventilator to each other is provided, when the ventilator is operated during easing nature, the smell in the main body of the toilet bowl is forcibly exhausted to the outside through the through holes. Therefore, a user can use the toilet bowl without suffering from bad smell. Brief Description of the Drawings

[19] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[20] FTG. 1 is a sectional view of a conventional toilet bowl; and

[21] FTG. 2 is a sectional view of a toilet bowl having a ventilating structure according to the present invention.

[22] A toilet bowl 10 according to the present invention has the same structure as the conventional toilet bowl and operates in the same principle as the conventional toilet bowl.

[23] An additional ventilating device 20 is connected to the toilet bowl 10 according to the present invention provided with a ventilating hole 70 so that the smell generated during and after easing nature can be exhausted to the outside. As illustrated in FTG. 2, the ventilating hole 70 is provided on the cleaning watercourse 11 formed on the upper end of the main body 13 of the toilet bowl 10. One end of the ventilating device 20 is connected to the ventilating hole 70 and the other end of the ventilating device 20 is connected to a ventilator 30. When the ventilator 30 operates, the smell in the main body 13 is inhaled through the through holes 12 and the inhaled smell is forcibly exhausted to the outside.

[24] The ventilating device 20 includes an exhausting pipe 40 for connecting the ventilating hole 70 of the toilet bowl 10 and the ventilator 30 to each other, a duct 41 formed on the upper end of the exhausting pipe 40 to surround the ventilator 30 so that the air can be inhaled, airtight rings 51 and 51a, washers 52 and 52a, and fastening members 50 and 50a assembled on the lower end of the exhausting pipe 40 and on the wall 60 of the cleaning watercourse to fix the lower end of the exhausting pipe 40 to the cleaning watercourse 11.

[25] The ventilating hole 70 connected to the ventilating device 20 is formed on the cleaning watercourse 11. At this time, the ventilating hole 70 is selectively formed on one side on the entire circumference of the cleaning watercourse 11 so that the exhausting pipe 40 is connected to the ventilating hole 70 to exhaust the smell in the main body 13 of the toilet bowl 10 to the outside.

[26] Here, the ventilator 30 is electrically connected to an on and off switch (not shown) provided around the toilet bowl so that a user can easily operate the switch.

[27] In order to use the ventilating device according to the present invention, first, the ventilator 30 is provided on the wall of the space in which the toilet bowl 10 is provided to be electrically operated. Then, the ventilator 30 is mounted in the duct 41 formed on the upper end of the exhausting pipe 40 so that the ventilator 30 can forcibly inhale the smell in the main body 13 of the toilet bowl 10 together with the air.

[28] Next, after inserting the lower end of the exhausting pipe 40 into the ventilating hole 70, the airtight rings 51 and 51a, the washers 52 and 52a, and the fastening members 50 and 50a are fastened around the ventilating hole 70 of the wall 60 of the cleaning watercourse so that the air or water does not leak.

[29] As described above, when the ventilator 30 is operated in order to remove the smell generated during and after easing nature using the ventilating device 20 combined between the ventilating hole 70 of the toilet bowl 10 and the ventilator 30, the smell in the main body 13 is forcibly exhausted to the outside through the through holes 12 formed on the upper end of the main body 13, the ventilating hole 70 of the toilet bowl, the exhausting pipe 40, the duct 41, and the ventilator 30 together with the air.
