[See FIGS. 1, 2, and 3]

Embodiment 1-1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. Conventional flush toilets rapidly discharge water by the user's operation of the flushing valve, and then slowly discharge residual water. The discharged water and residual water are moved to the toilet, and the toilet is discharged by the water, and the remaining water leaves the toilet. However, the toilet 20 of the present invention has a feature that is interlocked with the washbasin 30. The valve cartridge 40 of the washbasin 30 used in the present invention is supplied with water supply 41 and heated hot water 42 at room temperature, and the valve cartridge 40 mixes water and hot water to the wash basin 30 To be supplied. However, in winter, the hot water supply pipe 43 may exist in a cooled state. Users waste cooling hot water in order to maintain the proper wash basin temperature. This causes excessive waste. In order to prevent such waste, it is preferable to supply cooling hot water (drain water 44) used as waste water to the toilet water tank 10. To this end, drain water is transferred from the valve cartridge 40 to the toilet water tank 10 through the drain pipe 45. The drain water 44 is supplied to the toilet water tank through a drain pipe, and the additionally supplied drain water is used for supplying residual water. Specifically, the drain water is used to operate the valve body 420 of the residual water valve opening/closing part 400. The valve body 420 is operated in conjunction with the operation of the control vessel 510 of the residual water valve opening/closing part 400 to be described later. The discharged water is accommodated in the water tank 10, and the discharged water is supplied to the toilet through the main discharge pipe 110 by the operation of the flushing valve 120. After that, a certain amount of residual water must be additionally supplied. A separate residual water supply pipe 310 is installed on the side of the main discharge pipe for supplying residual water, and a valve body 420 is mounted on the residual water supply pipe 310. The valve body 420 is operated by the residual water valve opening/closing part 400.

[See Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3]

The present invention is an invention of a residual water supply valve opening/closing unit, and proposes a technique for controlling a residual water supply amount according to a change in the water level inside a water tank using a mechanical method. Specifically, the residual water discharge pipe 310 presented above is bound to the flange 410 of the bracket 410. The bracket 410 is in contact with the valve body 420, and the valve body 420 is selectively contacted and separated from the bracket 410. When the valve body and the bracket are connected, the discharge of residual water is blocked, but when the valve body and the bracket fall, the residual water is discharged. The valve body 420 is operated by an operation means described later. The operating means may be equipped with a conventional actuator, and may be operated by a separate mechanical structure.

[Embodiment 2-2] The present invention relates to an apparatus for discharging residual water of a toilet bowl, and in Embodiment 2-1, a slot hole 413 formed on the bracket 410 and coupled to the valve body 420 );, is formed in the valve body 420, the coupling protrusion 421 inserted into the slot hole; includes. [See Fig. 4]

It is preferable that the bracket 410 and the valve body 420 are connected in a straight line. To this end, the valve body 420 has a plurality of coupling protrusions 421 on its side, and the coupling protrusion 421 is inserted into the slot hole 413 of the bracket. That is, since the coupling protrusion of the valve body moves along the slot opening, the connection between the bracket and the valve body is operated in a straight line.

[Embodiment 2-3] The present invention relates to an apparatus for discharging residual water in a toilet bowl, and in Embodiment 2-1, an assembly 440 that is fastened to the bracket and coupled to other structures in the tank is included. [See Fig. 4]

To solve this problem, seals are attached to the valve body and the through hole. It is preferable that the sealing is formed of a rubber material. The seal may be mounted on the valve body or the through hole.

[Embodiment 3-1] The present invention is an invention for a device for discharging residual water of a toilet bowl, and in Embodiment 1-1, the operation means 500 is a locking protrusion 423 extending from the valve body 420 ; A control container 510 having a space formed therein and an open top thereof; A hinge 520 located eccentrically under the control container and rotatably coupled to the bracket; An outlet 530 located under the control container and through which water is discharged; It is located under the control container, and a contact end 540 fitted and coupled to the locking protrusion. [See Fig. 2c] The present invention is to automatically form the operation of the valve body 420. Since the lower portion of the control container of the present invention forms a hinge 520, the control container 510 is rotated around the hinge 520. When the discharged water is filled in the control container 510, the control container 510 is rotated because it has an eccentric center of gravity around the hinge 520. At this time, the discharged water inside the control container is discharged through the discharge port 530 below the control container. When all of the discharged water inside the control container 510 is discharged, the center of gravity of the control container 510 moves around the hinge 520. Therefore, it is rotated to its original position. The valve body 420 is simultaneously operated according to the rotation of the control vessel presented above. A locking protrusion 423 is formed on the upper part of the valve body, and a contact end 540 is formed under the control container. The contact end and the locking protrusion are fitted and coupled to each other. When the control container 510 is rotated to the left, the contact end on the right is moved upward, and the valve body is moved upward at the same time, so that the discharged water can be supplied to the residual water supply pipe.

[Embodiment 3-2] The present invention relates to an apparatus for discharging residual water of a toilet bowl, and in Embodiment 3-1, a discharge nozzle 531 fitted and coupled to the discharge port 530 is included. [See Fig. 2c]

The discharge port of the present invention is equipped with a discharge nozzle, and the flow rate of discharged water can be adjusted. Therefore, it has the effect of controlling the remaining water supply time. The discharge nozzle (not shown) is coupled to the discharge port 530, and can be easily replaced by the user's selection.

[Embodiment 3-3] The present invention relates to an apparatus for discharging residual water in a toilet bowl, and in Embodiment 3-1, a partition plate 511 formed inside the control container and dividing space is included. [See Fig. 2c]

Around the lower hinge of the control vessel, the moment must form an unbalanced condition. To solve this, a diaphragm is formed inside the control container. The partition plate is divided into a space A with an outlet and a space B without an outlet. When the toilet water level is lower than the control container, both spaces A and B are filled with drainage water, and since this has a center of gravity biased around the hinge 520, the control container rotates, and the drainage water from the space A during the rotation process is It is discharged through the discharge port 530. After all the discharged water in space A is discharged, the center of gravity direction is located on the opposite side of the hinge by the residual discharged water in space B, and the control container rotates in the opposite direction.
