The present disclosure relates to a powerless automatic flushing device and, more particularly, to a powerless automatic flushing device, wherein the device controls flushing of feces and time to dispose of toilet paper with feces while suctioning air from outside through a feces toilet paper time adjustment part and a flushing adjustment part when a toilet user defecates and leaves a toilet seat, and respectively controls flushing of urine and time to dispose of toilet paper with urine while rapidly suctioning the air from the outside through each of a feces toilet paper time adjustment part, a flushing adjustment part, and a urine toilet paper time adjustment part when the toilet user urinates and leaves the toilet seat, thereby preventing the toilet user from wasting water by unnecessarily pressing a lever, and a tension load spring compresses in conjunction with descending motion of the toilet seat and retains a tension load force capable of pulling a flushing wire, and the wire guide is rotated by the tension load spring, which is restored in conjunction with ascending motion of the toilet seat and opens a water drain hole while pulling the flushing wire, whereby operation works smoothly and stable and the time to dispose of the toilet paper is automatically controlled to improve flushing power for excreta according to defecation or urination.
In general, a toilet bowl is installed in a bathroom in a home or building, and is configured such that after excretion of a toilet user, the flushing water that is drained by a lever moved by the toilet user and the excreta of the toilet user are discharged into a septic tank. A powerless automatic flushing device in which the flushing of water is automatically operated by applying water pressure has been registered as Korean Patent No. 10-0946393.
The previously registered patent has a configuration for flushing excreta of defecation or urination with the flushing water, wherein when a toilet seat is sat in by a toilet user, the water from a faucet is supplied to an operation part through a water channel that is opened by the weight load of the toilet user and a cylinder rod moves while compressing a spring with pressure of water supplied to the operation part, and simultaneously the water that has moved the cylinder rod by restoring force of the compressed spring is supplied to a flushing device, whereby the feces and/or urine are flushed by the flushing water discharged from the flushing device.
However, in the previously registered patent, when water pressure of the water supplied from the faucet is weaker than the spring tension, the water pressure is unable to press and move the cylinder rod, so the function of the automatic flushing device is lost due to the fact that flushing does not work and the defecation and urination of the toilet user are not determined, thereby causing a problem of lowering toilet user's reliability in the product.
In addition, in a case where excreta is flushed in a public toilet having multiple toilet bowls at the same time, as water pressure decreases while water is supplied to the toilet bowls, the amount of water that is for flushing urine is discharged for flushing feces because the cylinder rod does not advance as much as a position for determining defecation, thereby causing problems such that unflushed feces cause clogging of the toilet bowls or generating of odors, inconvenience occurs such that the water has to be flushed once more by manually pressing the lever in order to flush the remnants of the feces, and it is not only uneconomical due to wasting of the water but also unsanitary.
In addition, there are problems that since the configuration of the operation part operated by hydraulic pressure is complicated, productivity is reduced and manufacturing cost is increased, thereby decreasing economic feasibility, and also there are problems that many components of the configuration causes not only a malfunction due to accumulation of foreign substances in a water passage but also a water leakage through the connection areas.
In order to solve the above problems, recently, Korean Patent No. 10-1071981 has been registered, wherein a toilet seat is able to automatically flush a toilet after distinguishing defecation and urination by using only energy of weight load of the human body.
In the previously registered patent, as a gap between a first and second tension load rollers is narrowed while a toilet seat descends by the weight load of a toilet user seated on the toilet seat, when a tension load force of a tension load wire is lost and at the same time a detachable member fixed to a tension load wire fixing member presses a feces and urine distinction determination part while moving because the toilet seat descends, it is determined as urination, and also when the cylinder rod presses the feces and urine distinction determination part, it is determined as defecation. In such a state, as the gap between the first and second tension load rollers is widened by the restoring force of the toilet seat as the toilet user leaves the toilet seat, the tension load wire is tense and simultaneously the flushing wire is pulled, so the flushing water corresponding to the defecation and urination is discharged to a toilet body to flush the feces and urine, and thus the conventional problems may be solved.
However, in the previously registered patent, in a case where fluid is supplied to a cylinder by the weight load of the toilet user who sits and leaves the toilet seat, since a fluid movement structure is complicated and the number of components increases, there are problems that not only the assembly is difficult but also the economic feasibility is decreased due to the increase in the manufacturing cost.
In addition, there are problems that the maintenance is difficult and a defect rate is high due to the risk of fluid leaking through the connection areas of the components, the operation time varies depending on a viscosity difference depending on the amount of oil injection and the temperature change, and on/off errors of a water passage opening/closing valve mounted separately causes no flushing or continuous flushing, whereby the toilet user loses reliability in the product.
In order to solve the above problems, a powerless automatic flushing toilet seat for a flush valve that is provided with a control function of discharging and intaking air only with weight load of the human body has been registered in Korean Patent No. 10-1389941.
In the previously registered patent, when a toilet user is seated on a toilet seat, a tension load member retains a tension load force for pulling a flushing wire in conjunction with descending motion of the toilet seat, and when the toilet user leaves the toilet seat, not only the flushing wire that is pulled in conjunction with ascending motion of the toilet seat rotates a siphon cover upward while the flushing water from a tank is discharged into a toilet bowl through an opened water drain hole to flush the excreta, but also the operation time of flushing is controlled by adjusting the amount of air suctioned into a toilet paper time adjustment part, and thus the conventional problems may be solved.
However, in the previously registered patent, the tension load force capable of pulling the flushing wire may be retained in the tension load member by the descending motion of the toilet seat, but according to the rotational movement of the lever, friction and load of the tension load wire that pulls the tension load member occur, so power conveyance efficiency is decreased, and the siphon cover may not be sufficiently lifted. Accordingly, since the flushing water stored in the tank is not discharged smoothly, the flushing power for excreta is decreased and the unflushed feces or foreign substances remain in the toilet bowl, so as to result in clogging the toilet bowl or generating the odors, thereby causing the problem of lowering the toilet user's reliability in the product.
In addition, the siphon cover should be operated in a way of being sufficiently lifted so that the flushing water may be discharged smoothly, but due to the height of the toilet seat, there are problems of causing inconvenience to the toilet user and being subject to design limitation of the toilet seat. Further, there are problems that as the number of components increases, the assembly becomes difficult, so not only the working time increased, but also the economic feasibility is decreased due to the increase of the manufacturing cost.
In order to solve the above problems, recently, Korean Patent No. 10-1535278 has been registered, wherein a powerless automatic flushing device is provided with a tension load and pressurizing protrusion that maximizes a flushing function for a toilet bowl by the lowest weight load of the human body and the minimal operation for a seating switch.
In the previously registered patent, the air inside a guide rib is discharged to outside in conjunction with descending motion of a toilet seat by the weight load of a toilet user, and at the same time, while a tension load member rotates by the pressing of a pressurization protrusion, a tension load force capable of pulling a flushing wire is allowed to be retained. In addition, when the weight load of the toilet user is released, the amount of air introduced into the guide rib is adjusted to control the time to dispose of toilet paper of the toilet user, and also as the flushing wire is pulled by the restoring force of the tension load member, the flushing water from a tank is discharged to a toilet body through a water drain hole opened by the ascending of a siphon cover, so as to flush the excreta, whereby the conventional problems may be solved.
However, the previously registered patent has a configuration in which the force capable of pulling the flushing wire is loaded while the tension load member is rotated by the pressurization of the pressurization protrusion, so there is a problem that when the tension load member rotates by the vertical movement of the pressurization protrusion, not only the operation is not smooth due to the frictional force between the pressurization protrusion and the tension load member, but also it is difficult to maintain the configuration due to damage to components. In addition, there is a problem that in order to rotate the tension load member, the toilet user's weight load that moves the pressurization protrusion should be heavy enough for smooth operation.
In addition, when a flushing opening/closing part is operated by the tension load force of the tension load member, the operation of the flushing opening/closing part should be released while the tension load member moves along a lock release member, but since the tension load member moves in close contact with the inclined lock release member, there is a problem that not only the operation is not smooth due to the frictional force between the tension load member and the lock release member, but also it is difficult to maintain due to damage to the components.
In addition, since the configuration of each of the parts that realizes the flushing of water is composed of individual components and assembled on a toilet seat, there are problems that the work process is complicated, and the working time for assembly is increased, thereby leading to a decrease in economic efficiency due to the increase in labor costs.
In addition, after assembling each component on a lower plate of the toilet seat, each component should be waterproofed in a process of covering an upper plate of the toilet seat, but there are problems that a waterproof condition is difficult to manage due to the fact that an area where each component is installed is large, taking action is difficult when an after-sales service is required, and excreta and foreign substances are introduced into a seat switch, causing odors and malfunctioning errors during use of the toilet seat.
The embodiment of the present disclosure has been devised in consideration of the various conventional problems as described above, and an objective of the present disclosure is to provide a powerless automatic flushing device that automatically controls time to dispose of toilet paper according to feces and urine, wherein the device controls flushing of feces and the time to dispose of toilet paper with feces while suctioning air from outside through a feces toilet paper time adjustment part and a flushing adjustment part when a toilet user defecates and leaves a toilet seat, and respectively controls flushing of urine and time to dispose of toilet paper with urine while rapidly suctioning the air from the outside through each of a feces toilet paper time adjustment part, a flushing adjustment part, and a urine toilet paper time adjustment part when the toilet user urinates and leaves the toilet seat, thereby preventing the toilet user from wasting water by unnecessarily pressing a lever.

The following describes the operation process of the present disclosure configured as described above.
First, according to the present disclosure, when a toilet user is seated on a toilet seat 10, as shown in
In addition, with the downward movement of the toilet seat 10, the lever guide 440 of the tension load part 400 presses the other end of the tension load lever 430 having one end thereof mounted in the guide groove 430a, and at the same time, the tension load lever 430 rotates around the guide groove 430a and presses the other side of the tension load spring 420 mounted on the tension load shaft 410, so that the tension load spring 420 is caught by the guide protrusion 530 formed on the flushing opening/closing part 500 and the locking protrusion 451a of the tension load retention member 450, whereby the tension load force of the tension load spring 420 may be held.
In this case, since one side of the tension load spring 420 is in close contact with the guide rib 210, the other side of the tension load spring 420 is rotated inward to press the locking protrusion 451a of the tension load retention member 450 and the guide protrusion 530 of the flushing opening/closing part 500. In addition, since the locking protrusion 451a and the guide protrusion 530 are formed to be inclined, the tension load retention body 451 is descended by a predetermined distance while compressing the tension load spring 420 with the compression force of the tension load spring 420, and then when the tension load spring 420 passes the locking protrusion 451a, the tension load retention member 450 is restored by the restoring force of the control spring 452, so that the tension load spring 420 maintains a state of being caught on the locking protrusion 451a and the guide protrusion 530, whereby the tension load force of the tension load spring 420 may be held.
In addition, as shown in
In addition, at the same time as the feces and urine toilet paper time control and flushing adjustment part 200 ascends in accordance with the downward movement of the toilet seat 10, the flushing adjustment part 220 of the feces and urine toilet paper time control and flushing adjustment part 200 moves to an inner upper end of the guide rib 210 in conjunction with the descending motion of the toilet seat 10. In addition, at the same time as the air inside the guide rib 210 is discharged to the outside of the guide rib 210 through the inflow check valve 212 while passing through the discharge through-hole 211, a feces toilet paper time and flushing distinction protrusion 213 formed on the guide rib 210 closes the through-hole 221a of the air inflow adjustment member 221.
Here, the inflow check valve 212 is opened when the weight load is applied to the toilet seat 10 so as to discharge the air inside the guide rib 210 to the outside, and is closed when the weight load of the toilet user is released so as to block the inflow of the air into the interior of the guide rib 210.
When the air inflow adjustment member 221 moves to the upper part of the guide rib 210, the separation prevention member 225 compresses the restoration spring 224 in close contact with the flush washer 223. Since the flush washer 223 is caught on the guide rib 210, it is possible to maintain the compression force of the restoration spring 224 according to the movement of the separation prevention member 225.
In addition, due to the pressurizing of the guide spring 330′ compressed in conjunction with the descending motion of the toilet seat 10, the feces and urine toilet paper time determination member 340 of the feces and urine toilet paper time determination part 300 presses the urine toilet paper time distinction pin 241 upward while moving to the inner upper end of the distinction guide rib 310, and the air inside the distinction guide rib 310 is not discharged through the inflow through-hole 311 closed by the feces and urine distinction discharge check valve 320, but is discharged through the feces and urine distinction discharge amount adjustment bolt 350 in which the guide through-hole 330a and the feces and urine distinction discharge amount adjustment hole 350″ are formed.
The feces and urine distinction discharge check valve 320 closes the inflow through-hole 311 to block the inflow of air into the distinction guide rib 310 when the weight load of a toilet user is applied, and opens the inflow through-hole 311 to discharge the air inside the distinction guide rib 310 to the outside when the weight load of the toilet user is released.
While being fastened to the guide through-hole 330a of the guide rod 330, the feces and urine distinction discharge amount adjustment bolt 350 not only compresses an adjustment filter 350′, but also adjusts the amount of air moving through the adjustment filter 350′ according to the compression force of the adjustment filter 350′.
In addition, as the air inside the distinction guide protrusion 310 is discharged to the feces and urine distinction discharge amount adjustment bolt 350, the feces and urine toilet paper time determination member 340 formed on one side of the guide rod 330 presses the urine toilet paper time distinction pin 241 mounted in the distinction pin control groove 225a upward, and when the urine toilet paper time distinction pin 241 is unable to close a urine toilet paper time adjustment hole 243, it is determined as urination.
When it is not possible to close the urine toilet paper time adjustment hole 243 as described above, the air is suctioned into the always open feces toilet paper time adjustment hole 232 and urine toilet paper time adjustment hole 243 at the same time, so the guide rod 330 moves quickly, whereby the urination toilet paper time is applied. When a flushing section is applied, the air is simultaneously suctioned into the feces toilet paper time adjustment hole 231″, the feces flushing adjustment hole 227″, and the urine toilet paper time adjustment hole 242″, which are always open, so the guide rod 330 moves quickly, whereby the urination toilet paper time is applied.
In addition, when the feces and urine toilet paper time determination member 340 closes the urine toilet paper time adjustment hole 243 by pressing the urine toilet paper time distinction pin 241 mounted on the distinction pin control groove 225a upwards, it is determined as defecation.
When the urine toilet paper time adjustment hole 243 is closed as described above, the air is not suctioned into the urine toilet paper time adjustment hole 243, but is suctioned only into the feces toilet paper time adjustment hole 232, so the guide rod 330 moves relatively slowly.
In addition, when a toilet user seated on the toilet seat 10 leaves after excretion, as shown in
At this time, the air inflow adjustment member 221 of the feces and urine toilet paper time control and flushing adjustment part 200 moves to the lower end of the guide rib 210 with the restoring force of the restoration spring 224, and since the inflow check valve 212 closes the discharge through-hole 211 formed in the guide rib 210, the air is introduced into the guide rib 210 only through a feces flushing adjustment bolt 227, the feces toilet paper time adjustment part 230, and a urine toilet paper time adjustment part 240.
In other word, in a case where the excretion of the toilet user is determined as urination, the air is introduced into the guide rib 210 through the feces flushing adjustment bolt 227 mounted on the air inflow adjustment member 221, the air is introduced into the guide rib 210 through the feces toilet paper time adjustment bolt 231 and the feces toilet paper time adjustment hole 232, and at the same time, the air is introduced into the guide rib 210 through a urine toilet paper time adjustment bolt 242 and the urine toilet paper time adjustment hole 243.
In addition, in a case where the excretion of the toilet user is determined as defecation, the air is not introduced through the urine toilet paper time adjustment bolt 242, but the air is introduced into the guide rib 210 through the feces flushing adjustment bolt 227 mounted on the air inflow adjustment member 221, and at the same time, the air is introduced into the guide rib 210 through the feces toilet paper time adjustment bolt 231 and the feces toilet paper time adjustment hole 232.
Here, in the air introduced into the feces flushing adjustment bolt 227, an amount of air moved by passing through the adjustment filter 227′ may be adjusted according to the compression force by which the feces flushing adjustment bolt 227 is fastened, and according to the compression force by which the feces toilet paper time adjustment bolt 231 and the urine toilet paper time adjustment bolt 242 are fastened, the amount of air that moves may also be adjusted.
In addition, as shown in
While the tension load retention member 450 of which the locking is released by rotating of the tension load release guide member 260 due to the pressure of the pressure release piece 226 compresses a control spring 452 by the pressing of the lever guide 440 moving downward, when the control power of the tension load spring 420 is lost as the tension load retention body 451 moves downward, the tension load spring 420 is restored by the compressed tension load force.
In this case, since the end of the tension load spring 420 is caught on the guide protrusion 530, the wire guide 520 rotates outwardly around the rotation guide shaft 510, and the elastic support piece 540′ buffers the rotational force of the wire guide 520, pulls the flushing wire 550 connecting the inside of the toilet seat 10 to the siphon cover 20 and the wire guide 520, and at the same time, rotates the siphon cover 20 upward to open the water drain hole of the water tank, so that the flushing water of the water tank is discharged to the toilet body through the opened water drain hole, thereby flushing the toilet.
In addition, when the tension load spring 420 is separated from the guide protrusion 530, a locking state of the wire guide 520 is released, and when the locking is released as described above, the siphon cover 20 descends and closes the water drain hole of the water tank.
At this time, while pulling the flushing wire 550 due to the downward movement of the siphon cover 20, the wire guide 520 is restored by rotating around the rotation guide shaft 510 and waits for the next operation.
