진공 흡입식 변기(100)의 변기 본체(110)는 도 1에 도시된 바와 같이 내부에 움푹 파인 형태의 용변공간(112)이 형성되고, 용변공간(112)의 하부에는 배수관(200)과의 연결을 위한 배수구(114)가 형성된 구조로 이루어진다. 여기서, 배수관(200)은 기존의 화장실에 설치되어 있던 수세식 변기를 탈거한 후 본 발명의 실시 예에 따른 변기 본체(110)의 배수구(114)가 연결되는 부분을 의미한다. 이때, 배수관(200)은 건물에 매립된 구조로 이루어질 수 있다.As shown in FIG. 1, the toilet body 110 of the vacuum suction toilet 100 is formed with a concave space 112 having a recessed shape therein, and is connected to a drain pipe 200 at a lower portion of the toilet space 112. It is made of a structure in which the drain hole 114 is formed. Here, the drain pipe 200 means a part to which the drain hole 114 of the toilet body 110 according to the embodiment of the present invention is connected after removing the flush toilet installed in the existing toilet. At this time, the drain pipe 200 may be made of a structure embedded in the building.
변기 본체(110)에는 도면에 도시된 바와 같이 별도의 저수조가 없는 구조로 이루어지며, 기존의 변기들에서와 같이 용변공간(112)이 움푹 파인 구조로 이루어진다.The toilet body 110 is made of a structure that does not have a separate reservoir as shown in the figure, the toilet space 112 is made of a hollow structure as in the existing toilet.
전술한 바와 같은 형태로 형성된 용변공간(112)으로 배설되는 사용자의 용변은 배수구(114)의 입구에 설치되는 드레인 밸브(144)와 드레인 밸브(144)의 개방 시 용변공간(112)에 흡입력이 전달되도록 하기 위한 진공펌프(142)를 포함하는 흡입수단(140)의 작동에 의해서 배수관(200)으로 강제 이동될 수 있게 된다. 전술한 드레인 밸브(144)는 액츄에이터(146)의 구동에 의해서 동작이 이루어진다.The user's toilet disposed in the toilet space 112 formed as described above has a suction force in the toilet space 112 when the drain valve 144 and the drain valve 144 installed at the inlet of the drain 114 are opened. By the operation of the suction means 140, including a vacuum pump 142 to be delivered to be able to be forcibly moved to the drain pipe (200). The drain valve 144 described above is operated by driving the actuator 146.
변기 본체(110)의 상부에는 사용자가 용변을 위해서 앉을 수 있도록 하거나 남성 사용자가 소변을 볼 경우에는 일으켜 세워둘 수 있도록 하는 변기 시트(120)가 설치된다. 변기 본체(110)에 대해서 변기 시트(120)는 뒷부분이 힌지로써 회전 동작이 가능하도록 조립 설치될 수 있다.The toilet seat 120 is installed in the upper portion of the toilet body 110 to allow the user to sit for the toilet or to stand up when the male user urinates. The toilet seat 120 with respect to the toilet body 110 may be assembled to enable the rotation operation by the rear portion hinge.
사용자감지센서(130)는 변기 본체(110) 또는 변기 시트(120) 상에 설치되어 사용자가 변기를 사용하고자 함과 변기의 사용을 완료하였음 등을 감지하는 동작을 하게 된다. 이와 같은 사용자감지센서(130)의 감지 결과에 따라서 흡입수단(140)의 진공펌프(142)와 드레인 밸브(144)의 작동 등이 제어부(미도시)에 의해서 제어될 수 있다.The user sensor 130 is installed on the toilet main body 110 or the toilet seat 120 to detect the user to use the toilet and complete the use of the toilet. The operation of the vacuum pump 142 and the drain valve 144 of the suction means 140 may be controlled by a controller (not shown) according to the detection result of the user detection sensor 130.
사용자감지센서(130)는 변기 시트(120)의 하부에 설치되는 압력센서로 이루어질 수도 있고, 변기 본체(110)에 설치되는 적외선 센서 등으로 이루어질 수도 있다.The user detection sensor 130 may be made of a pressure sensor installed in the lower portion of the toilet seat 120, or may be made of an infrared sensor installed in the toilet body 110.
한편, 본 발명의 실시 예에 따른 진공 흡입식 변기(100)를 이용하여 사용자가 용변을 보게 되는 경우에, 용변공간(112)으로 낙하되는 용변이 대변인지를 감지하기 위한 대변감지센서(150)가 용변공간(112)의 하측에 설치된다. 이와 같이 대변감지센서(150)를 설치하는 이유는 사용자가 대변을 볼 경우와 소변을 볼 경우가 구분될 수 있도록 함으로써 흡입수단(140), 물 공급 수단(170) 등의 동작이 상황에 따라서 제어부의 제어에 의해서 별도로 이루어질 수 있도록 하기 위함이다. 대변감지센서(150)는 투명에 가까운 소변일 경우에는 반응하지 않고 대변일 경우에만 반응할 수 있는 센서가 적용될 수 있다.On the other hand, when the user sees the toilet using the vacuum suction toilet 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the feces detecting sensor 150 for detecting whether the feces falling to the toilet space 112 is the feces. It is installed below the space 112. The reason for installing the stool detection sensor 150 as described above is to allow the user to distinguish between the case of stool and urine, so that the operation of the suction means 140, the water supply means 170 and the like according to the situation This is to be made separately by the control of. The stool detection sensor 150 may be a sensor that can react only when the stool does not react when the urine close to transparent.
그리고 변기 본체(110)의 상부 내측 둘레를 따라서는 도면에 도시된 바와 같이 물 분사 노즐(160)이 설치된다. 이 물 분사 노즐(160)에서 분사되는 물은 전술한 대변감지센서(150)의 주변을 향하도록 설정된다. 또한, 물 분사 노즐(160)을 통해서 분사되는 물의 수압은 제어부에서 물 공급 수단(170)을 제어함으로써 용변의 종류에 따라서 다르도록 설정된다. 부연하면, 대변감지센서(150)에 의해서 사용자가 보는 용변의 종류를 감지되면, 그 감지 결과에 따라서 제어부에서는 물 공급 수단(170)을 제어하여 물 분사 노즐(160)로 공급되는 물의 압력을 제어하게 된다. 예를 들어, 대변감지센서(150)에서 감지된 용변의 종류가 대변일 경우에는 그렇지 않은 경우에 비해서 상대적으로 높은 압력으로 물이 분사된다. 반대로, 용변의 종류가 대변이 아닐 경우(소변일 경우)에는 상대적으로 낮은 압력으로 물이 분사된다. 이때, 분사되는 물의 양을 절약하기 위하여 물이 분사되는 시간은 대변의 경우가 소변의 경우보다 길게 설정할 수 있다.The water injection nozzle 160 is installed along the upper inner circumference of the toilet body 110 as shown in the figure. The water sprayed from the water spray nozzle 160 is set to face the stool detection sensor 150 described above. In addition, the water pressure of the water injected through the water injection nozzle 160 is set to vary depending on the type of toilet by controlling the water supply means 170 in the control unit. In other words, when the type of toilet that the user sees is detected by the fecal sensor 150, the control unit controls the water supply means 170 to control the pressure of the water supplied to the water injection nozzle 160 in accordance with the detection result Done. For example, when the type of stool detected by the stool sensor 150 is a stool, water is sprayed at a relatively high pressure as compared to the case. On the contrary, when the type of toilet is not feces (urine), water is injected at a relatively low pressure. In this case, in order to save the amount of water to be sprayed, the time for which the water is sprayed may be set longer than the case of urine.
물 공급 수단(170)은 일정 수압 이상의 물을 공급하는 수도관(172)만으로 이루어질 수도 있고, 수도관(172)의 도중에 워터 펌프(174)가 더 설치된 구조로 이루어질 수도 있다.The water supply means 170 may be made of only a water pipe 172 for supplying water of a predetermined water pressure or more, or may be made of a structure in which a water pump 174 is further installed in the middle of the water pipe 172.
그리고 전술한 물 공급 수단(170)의 수도관(172) 상에는 물에 포함된 이물질의 제거를 위한 필터(176)가 설치될 수 있다. 필터(176)는 교체 가능하거나 주기적인 청소가 가능한 구조로 이루어질 수 있다. 이와 같이 수도관(172) 상에 필터(176)가 형성됨으로써 물 분사 노즐(160)이 이물질로 막히게 되는 현상이 방지될 수 있다. 필터(176)는 기존의 물 정화에 사용되는 와이어 메쉬 필터, 나이론 패드 필터 등 다양한 형태의 것이 적용 가능하다.In addition, a filter 176 for removing the foreign matter contained in the water may be installed on the water pipe 172 of the water supply means 170 described above. The filter 176 may be formed of a replaceable or periodic cleaning structure. As such, the filter 176 is formed on the water pipe 172 to prevent the water injection nozzle 160 from being clogged with foreign matter. The filter 176 is applicable to various types of wire mesh filters, nylon pad filters, and the like used in conventional water purification.
전술한 필터(176)의 교체 또는 청소를 하는 과정에서 물 공급이 용이하게 차단될 수 있도록 차단 밸브(178)가 더 설치될 수 있다.A shutoff valve 178 may be further installed so that the water supply can be easily shut off in the process of replacing or cleaning the filter 176 described above.
흡입수단(140)이 작동되어 용변공간(112) 내의 용변 흡입이 이루어지는 도중 또는 용변 흡입이 마쳐진 상태에서 대변감지센서(150)와 그 주변을 향해서 전술한 물 분사 노즐(160)을 통해서 물이 분사될 수 있도록 설정된다.While the suction means 140 is operated to perform the suction of the toilet in the toilet space 112 or in the state of the suction of the toilet, the feces sensor 150 and its surroundings are directed toward the water through the water spray nozzle 160 described above. It is set to be sprayed.
그리고 전술한 바와 같이 흡입수단(140)의 작동에 의해서 배수관(200)으로 강제로 배출된 용변 및 물 등이 역류하지 않도록 진공펌프(142)가 위치된 후방의 배수관(200) 상에는 역류방지밸브(210)가 설치된다.As described above, the backflow prevention valve may be provided on the rear drain pipe 200 at which the vacuum pump 142 is located so that the toilet and water, forcibly discharged to the drain pipe 200 by the operation of the suction unit 140, are not flowed back. 210 is installed.
본 발명의 실시 예에 따른 진공 흡입식 변기(100)의 변기 본체(110) 뒤쪽 상부에는 공기 청정제 공급수단(180)이 설치된다. 공기 청정제 공급수단(180)은 용변공간(112)의 내부를 향해서 공기 청정제가 공급되도록 함으로써 사용자의 사용으로 인하여 오염된 용변공간(112)이 정화되도록 하기 위한 것이다. 공기 청정제 공급수단(180)은 청정제 탱크(182)와 청정제 분사구(184)를 포함하여 이루어진다.An air freshener supply unit 180 is installed at the rear of the toilet main body 110 of the vacuum suction toilet 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

도 4는 본 발명의 다른 양상에 따른 진공 흡입식 변기의 작동제어방법을 설명하기 위한 도면이고, 도 5 및 도 6은 본 발명의 실시 예에 따른 진공 흡입식 변기의 작동 상태를 보인 도면이다.4 is a view for explaining an operation control method of a vacuum suction toilet according to another aspect of the present invention, Figures 5 and 6 are views showing the operating state of the vacuum suction toilet according to an embodiment of the present invention.
이하에서는 도 5 및 도 6을 참고하면서 본 발명의 실시 예에 따른 진공 흡입식 변기(100)의 작동이 이루어지는 과정인 진공 흡입식 변기의 작동제어방법에 대해서 설명한다. 진공 흡입식 변기(100)의 작동 상태를 설명하는 과정에서는 사용자가 대변을 보는 과정을 예를 들어 설명한다.Hereinafter, an operation control method of the vacuum suction toilet will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, which is a process in which the operation of the vacuum suction toilet 100 is performed. In the process of describing the operation state of the vacuum suction toilet 100, a process of viewing the feces by the user will be described as an example.
우선, 사용자가 변기 시트(120)에 앉거나 또는 변기 시트(120)를 올리게 되면, 사용자감지센서(130)에서는 사용자를 감지하게 된다(S310).First, when the user sits on the toilet seat 120 or raises the toilet seat 120, the user sensor 130 detects the user (S310).
그리고 사용자가 변기 시트(120)에 앉아서 용변을 보게 되면, 대변감지센서(150)에서는 용변공간(112)으로 낙하되는 용변이 대변인지를 감지하게 된다(S320). 대변감지센서(150)에서의 감지에 따라서, 용변공간(112)으로 낙하되는 용변이 대변인 것으로 판단되면, 도 5에 도시된 바와 같이 드레인 밸브(144)를 설정된 만큼만 개방시켜 용변공간(112) 내의 공기를 흡입하여 배수관(200)으로 배출시키게 된다(S330). 따라서, 사용자가 용변을 보는 과정에서 용변으로부터 발생하는 냄새의 배출이 이루어지게 된다.When the user sits on the toilet seat 120 and looks at the toilet, the feces detecting sensor 150 detects whether the toilet is dropped in the toilet space 112 (S320). According to the detection by the stool detection sensor 150, if it is determined that the stool falling into the stool space 112 is a stool, as shown in FIG. The air is sucked and discharged to the drain pipe 200 (S330). Therefore, the odor generated from the stool is discharged while the user views the stool.
한편, 사용자가 용변을 마치고 변기 시트(120)에서 일어서게 되면 사용자감지센서(130)에서 이를 감지하고, 제어부에서는 사용자가 용변을 끝낸 것으로 판단하여 드레인 밸브(144)를 완전히 개방시켜 진공펌프(142)에서 전달되는 흡입력에 의해서 용변공간(112) 내의 물질을 강제 흡입하여 배출시키게 된다(S340). 본 발명의 실시예에 따른 진공 흡입식 변기(100)는 물내림스위치(미도시)를 더 포함할 수 있으며, 사용자가 용변을 마치고 변기 시트(120)에서 일어서게 되면 사용자감지센서(130)에서 이를 감지하고, 제어부가 사용자가 용변을 끝낸 것으로 판단하면, 제어부는 용변배출 대기 모드로 전환하고, 사용자가 물내림스위치를 누르면 드레인 밸브(144)를 완전히 개방시켜 진공펌프(142)에서 전달되는 흡입력에 의해 용변공간(112) 내의 물질을 강제 흡입하여 배출시키도록 구성할 수도 있다. On the other hand, when the user finishes the toilet and rises from the toilet seat 120, the user detection sensor 130 detects this, and the control unit determines that the user has finished the toilet, the drain valve 144 to open the vacuum pump 142 Forced suction of the substance in the stool space 112 by the suction force transmitted from is discharged (S340). The vacuum suction toilet 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a water down switch (not shown), and when the user finishes the toilet and stands up on the toilet seat 120, the user sensor 130 detects this. When the control unit determines that the user has finished the toilet, the control unit switches to the toilet discharge standby mode, and when the user presses the water flushing switch, the control unit completely opens the drain valve 144 by the suction force transmitted from the vacuum pump 142. It may be configured to forcibly suck and discharge the material in the toilet space (112).
밸브(144) 가 완전히 개방되고 진공펌프(142)의 흡입력에 의해 용변이 강제로 배출됨과 동시에 물 분사노즐(160)에서 물이 분사되며, 드레인 밸브(144)가 개방된 상태가 유지되도록 하는 가운데 물 분사 노즐(160)을 통해서 대변감지센서(150) 주변을 향해 물이 분사되도록 한다(S350). While the valve 144 is completely open and the toilet is forcibly discharged by the suction force of the vacuum pump 142, water is injected from the water injection nozzle 160, and the drain valve 144 is maintained in the open state. Water is sprayed toward the stool detection sensor 150 around the water injection nozzle 160 (S350).
이때, 물 분사 노즐(160)을 통해서는 물이 미리 설정된 압력과 시간 동안 분사된다. 즉, 소변인 경우에 비해서 상대적으로 높은 압력 과긴 시간 동안 물이 분사되도록 설정될 수 있다.At this time, water is sprayed through the water injection nozzle 160 for a predetermined pressure and time. That is, compared to the case of urine can be set so that water is injected for a relatively high pressure over time.
또한, 전술한 바와 같이 물 분사 노즐(160)을 통해서 대변감지센서(150) 주변으로 물이 분사되도록 하는 과정에서 물 공급 수단(170)에서는 수압이 소변보다 일정 수준 이상으로 유지되도록 할 수 있다.In addition, as described above, in the process of allowing water to be sprayed around the fecal sensor 150 through the water spray nozzle 160, the water supply unit 170 may maintain the hydraulic pressure at a level higher than urine.
또한, 용변공간(112) 내의 물질이 강제로 배출이 된 이후에는, 공기 청정제 공급수단(180)을 통해서 용변공간(112)을 향해서 공기 청정제의 공급이 이루어지도록 할 수 있다(S360).In addition, after the substance in the toilet space 112 is forcibly discharged, the air freshener may be supplied toward the toilet space 112 through the air freshener supply means 180 (S360).
한편, 용변공간(112)의 중간 높이에 대응하는 위치에 설치된 수위감지센서( 152)를 통해서는 용변공간(112) 내의 수위를 감지하게 되는데, 수위감지센서( 152)에서 수위가 감지될 경우에는 제어부에서는 이상이 있는 것으로 판단하게 된다. 그리고 수위감지센서( 152)에서 수위가 감지될 경우에는 알람수단을 동작시켜 청소관리자에게 이상이 발생하였음을 알리고, 물 공급 수단(170)을 통한 물 공급이 차단되도록 한다.On the other hand, through the water level sensor 152 installed at a position corresponding to the middle height of the toilet space 112 to detect the water level in the toilet space 112, when the water level is detected by the water level sensor 152 The control unit determines that there is an error. When the water level is detected by the water level sensor 152, the alarm means is operated to inform the cleaning manager that an abnormality has occurred, and the water supply through the water supply means 170 is blocked.
이상에서 설명한 바와 같이 본 발명의 실시 예에 따른 진공 흡입식 변기(100)를 사용하는 과정에서 사용자의 용변은 진공 흡입이 되어 처리되고, 용변공간(112)의 세정을 위해 설정된 만큼의 물 만이 공급이 됨으로써 변기 사용에 따른 물 사용량을 줄일 수 있게 된다. 한편, 대변감지센서(150)의 감지 결과가 대변이 아닌 것으로 판단된 경우에는 용변의 종류가 대변일 경우에 비해서 상대적으로 낮은 압력과 짧은 시간 동안 물이 공급됨으로써 물 사용량을 효과적으로 줄일 수 있도록 할 수 있다.As described above, in the process of using the vacuum suction toilet 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the user's toilet is treated by vacuum suction, and only water as set for cleaning the toilet space 112 is supplied. By doing so, it is possible to reduce the water consumption according to the use of the toilet. On the other hand, if it is determined that the detection result of the stool sensor 150 is not a stool, it is possible to effectively reduce the water consumption by supplying water for a relatively low pressure and a short time compared to the type of stool. have.
또한, 사용자가 용변을 보는 과정에서 대변에서 발생되는 냄새가 자동으로 흡입되고, 사용 후에는 공기 청정제가 공급됨으로써 화장실의 환경을 보다 쾌적하게 유지시킬 수 있게 된다.In addition, the odor generated from the stool is automatically sucked in the process of viewing the stool, and after use, the air freshener is supplied to maintain the environment of the bathroom more comfortably.
한편, 본 발명의 실시 예에 따른 진공 흡입식 변기(100)에 이상이 발생하여 용변공간(112) 내에 물이 찰 경우에는 수위감지센서(152)에서 이를 감지하여 경고하게 됨으로써 화장실 관리자가 신속하게 조치를 취할 수 있게 된다.On the other hand, when an abnormality occurs in the vacuum suction toilet 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, when water is filled in the toilet space 112, the water level detection sensor 152 detects this and warns the toilet manager quickly.
