A Toilet Including a Water Trap Having a Conical Part

Abstract

The present invention relates to a toilet comprising a bowl (1), a water trap (2) including a conical part (2) in the form of a curved cone with an inlet (3) connected to the bowl and an outlet (4), and a flushing system (6) comprising at least one nozzle (7a) adapted to flush clean the water trap by generating a vortex of water in the conical part. The conical part is designed with increasing diameter in a direction towards the outlet, wherein the diameter of the outlet of the conical part is larger than the diameter of the inlet of the conical part.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a toilet comprising of a bowl, a water trap including a conical part in the form of a curved cone with an inlet connected to the bowl, and a flushing system disposed to flush the water trap by generating a water vortex in the water trap.PRIOR ART[0002]Traditionally designed toilets require a flow rate of about 50 liters / minute in order to cope with rinsing the water trap. As the water flow in the water supply pipes in typical households is typically 10 liters / minute, most toilets are provided with a tank that is filled with water between flushes. One disadvantage of a toilet bowl with tank is that it is bulky and takes much space. It is therefore desirable to have toilets without a tank which instead takes its flush water directly from the water supply pipe. One problem that must be solved with such kind of toilet is how to get a sufficiently efficient emptying of the water trap during a flush. More specifically the proble...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is an improved toilet that requires less water flow for flushing and does not need a water tank. The toilet has a water trap that is flushed by a vortex created by water jets. The water trap has the shape of a cone with a narrow inlet and a wider outlet, which helps to empty the particles faster due to the increase in diameter towards the outlet. Computer simulations have shown that an efficient emptying of the water trap is achieved at a certain outlet diameter. The toilet is designed to require less material, space, and maintenance. It also has more than two nozzles and a chamber to equalize and distribute the flow. This ensures even distribution of water flow among the nozzles.

Problems solved by technology

One disadvantage of a toilet bowl with tank is that it is bulky and takes much space.

One problem that must be solved with such kind of toilet is how to get a sufficiently efficient emptying of the water trap during a flush.

More specifically the problem is that, on the inlet side to get the light particles to be pushed down and pass the curved section of the water trap, and that on the outlet side to get the heavy particles to be lifted up and leave through the sewer pipe.
