- a cover 93 mainly formed of soft synthetic resin or the like is coupled to the input opening 92 so as to enclose the input opening 92.
- the user separates the cover 93 from the input opening 92, extracts the filter casing 91, removes the impurities, returns the filter casing 91 to the input opening 91, and then couples the cover 93 to the input opening 92, whereby the thus constructed filter unit 90 can satisfy the process of blocking and removing impurities from wash water.
- Such a filter unit 90 of said another embodiment enables the defecation section 20 to be disinfected and flushed with soap water or the like by blocking impurities, such as hair, stones, etc. which are carried by the wash water.
- Embodiment 2 As described in connection with Embodiment 1 above, the water saving effect is minimal, since wash water having the minimum water level required for flushing the defecation section 20 is composed solely of city water, and there is a difficulty in con ⁇ tinuously utilizing wash water since wash water is not stored in a separate space.
- FIGs.10 to 12 are views of another embodiment of the water storage tank of the water saving toilet bowl according to the present invention.
- a storage section formed in the water tank 51 and storing flush water is divided into a first storage chamber 111, which is formed at the side communicating with the water supply pipe 32 of the water tank 51 by a dividing plate 120 positioned upright in a thin plate shape in the water tank 51 and stores flush water including city water introduced through the water supply pipe 32, and a second storage chamber 112, which is located at the side communicating with the connecting pipe 40 in the water tank 51, formed corresponding to the first storage chamber 111 with the dividing plate 120 as the center and stores wash water introduced through the connecting pipe 40.
- the installation direction of the dividing plate 120 is not limited to a specific direction, and the number of dividing plates 120 may be freely modified and adapted according to circumstances and conditions as well.
- the dividing plate 120 has inlet holes 121 and 122 for enabling the wash water stored in the second storage chamber 112 to flow to the first storage chamber 111.
- the inlet holes 121 and 122 consist of the first inlet hole 121 installed adjacent to the bottom surface of the water tank 51 and the second inlet hole 122 formed at a point relatively higher than the first inlet hole 121.
- the dividing plate 120 includes shutoff valves 123, which are coupled to the dividing plate 120, and serve to open and shut the inlet holes 121 and 122.
- the shutoff valves 123 are provided in equal number to the number of the inlet holes 121 and 122 and are installed corresponding to the spot where the inlet holes 121 and 122 of the dividing plate 120 are formed. [106] Preferably, the dividing plate 120 and the shutoff valves 123 are coupled by pins so that when the shutoff valves 123 are opened, the wash water in the second storage chamber 112 is moved to the first storage chamber 111 without difficulty in case that the wash water is stored at a water level exceeding the water level of the inlet holes 121 and 122 and the first storage chamber 111 even though the wash water has a low water pressure, and when the shutoff valves 123 are shut, the shutoff valves 123 are restored by the dead load and the water pressure formed in the first storage chamber 111 to thus form a boundary surface along with the dividing plate 120.
- Parts of the introduced city water are stored in the first storage chamber 111 via a water supply line 73 connected to the water supply valve 71 as shown in F1G.21, while the other parts are moved to the delivery pipe 75 via a dis ⁇ tributing line 74 connected to the water supply valve 71 to thus rinse the defecation section 20 that has been flushed by the drainage of wash water.
- the shutoff valves 123 of the dividing plate 120 are opened and thus the wash water stored in the second storage chamber 122 is moved to the first storage chamber 111.
- Embodiment 3 The water storage tank of the water saving toilet bowl recycling wash water according to the present invention may be adapted by the method of dividing the inside of the water tank 51 as shown in FIGs.13 and 14. [116] As shown in FIGs. 13 and 14, an auxiliary partition 145 is installed on the bottom surface of the water tank 51 to further increase city water saving effect.
- the auxiliary partition 145 is coupled to the bottom surface of the water tank 51 and located in both directions of the water supply valve unit 70, being spaced a predetermined gap from the water supply valve unit 70. [117] Here, the smaller the gap between the water supply valve unit 70 and the auxiliary partition 145 the higher the water saving effect unless the auxiliary partition 145 does not inhibit the water supply valve 71 of the water supply valve unit 70 from being driven. [118] That is, it is preferable that the auxiliary partition 145 be formed close to the water supply valve unit 70 within a range of not inhibiting the water supply valve 71 from being driven.
- FIGs.15 to 17 are views of still another embodiment of the water saving water storage tank according to the present invention.

- the inlet pipe 100 is installed in a manner that the wash water supplied through the connecting pipe 40 is dropped and introduced to the floor of the water tank 51 via the outlet holes 101 perforated on the outer part thereof.
- the inlet pipe 100 with the plurality of outlet holes 101 perforated there through is formed to have a larger diameter than the drain body 84 of the connecting pie body 40 so that the wash water introduced through the connecting pipe 40 is temporarily stagnated.
- the wash water is drained out of the outlet holes 101 and dropped to the floor of the water tank 51, and impurities with a large particle size are drained to a sewer via the drain body 84.
- the inlet pipe 100 is installed in a manner that the wash water supplied from the wash stand 10 is filtered and introduced into the water tank 51 as the plurality of outlet holes 101 with a relatively small diameter are perforated thereon, while the impurities with a relatively large particle size are drained out via the drain body 84 so that the impurities are not introduced into the water tank 51.
- sectional type storage chambers for storing wash water and flush water separately are formed in the internal space of the water tank 51. That is, the inside of the water tank 51 is divided into the first storage chamber 111, the second storage chamber 112 and the common storage chamber 11 Ia by the two dividing plates 120 and 159 positioned upright from the bottom surface of the water tank 51.
- the two valve bodies 81 and 81a are formed in a slanted shape at the lower end of the dividing plate 150, and the delivery pipe 75 is formed at the bottom surface halfway between these valve bodies 81 and 81a.
- the flush water stored in the first storage chamber 111 and the flush water stored in the common storage chamber 11 Ia of the water tank 51 are drained simultaneously by opening the valve bodies 81 and 81a.
- a plurality of inlet holes 121 and shutoff valves 123 are vertically formed on the dividing plates 120 and 150 so that the flush water and wash water stored in the first storage chamber 111 and second storage chamber 112 respectively are not mixed with each other.
- the inlet holes 121 and shutoff valves 123 vertically formed on the dividing plates 120 and 150 are installed at a higher position than the other inlet holes and shutoff valves.
- the plurality of shutoff valves 123 vertically formed on both the dividing plates 120 and 150 are opened only in one direction, the flush water and wash water stored in the first storage chamber 111 and second storage chamber 112, respectively, are movable only toward the common storage chamber Ilia positioned halfway therebetween. Thus, the flush water and wash water in the first storage chamber 111 and second storage chamber 112 are not mixed with each other.
- the second storage chamber 112 at one side storing wash water stores the wash water drained via the outlet holes 101 of the inlet pipe 100
- the first storage chamber 111 at the other side storing flush water stores city water introduced through the water supply pipe 32 and the water supply valve 71.
- the shutoff valves 123 located at lower parts of the dividing plates 120 and 150 are opened to thus supply the flush water and wash water into the common storage chamber 11 Ia at the middle part.
- shutoff valves 123 installed on both the dividing plates 120 and 150 are adapted to be opened only toward the common storage chamber Ilia at the middle part, if the wash water and flush water stored in both of the storage chambers reaches a predetermined water level, the shutoff valves 123 are opened to supply the wash water and flush water into the common storage chamber 11 Ia.
- the shutoff valve 123 formed on the dividing plate 150 at the side of the fist storage chamber 111 higher than the shutoff valve 123 of the dividing plate 120 at the other side, the wash water in the second storage chamber 112 is firstly introduced into the common storage chamber Ilia.
- valve bodies 81 and 81a Since the front end of the delivery pipe 75 at the bottom surface of the water tank 51 is located halfway between the valve bodies 81 and 81a, the flush water in the common storage chamber Ilia and the flush water in the first storage chamber 111 are simultaneously drained through the delivery pipe 75 by opening the valve bodies 81 and 81a. [137] At this moment, the valve bodies 81 and 81a are installed in a manner that they are connected to the wire 82 to open and close the valve bodies 81 and 81a simultaneously by operating the lever 83.
- the valve body 81a located at the first storage chamber 111 side has a relatively small size compared to the valve body 81 at the other side, and thus the flush water in the first storage chamber 111 for storing flush water, i.e., city water, is drained at a low speed, thereby reducing the consumption thereof.
- flush water i.e., city water
- a bent portion 102 bent toward the floor of the water tank 51 is formed on the inlet pipe 100, and outlet holes 101 are formed only on the bent portion 102, whereby the wash water introduced to the inlet pipe 100 is drained out of the outlet holes 101 of the bent portion 102 adjacent from the floor of the water tank 51, and thus the noise of draining the wash water is greatly reduced.
- the outlet holes 101 may be formed only on the bent portion 102 or may be formed over the entire surface of the inlet pipe 100. It is possible to obtain the effect of draining a larger amount of wash water per flush by forming the outlet holes 101 over the entire surface of the inlet pipe 100.
- each of the dividing plates 120 and 150 is positioned upright from the bottom surface of the water tank 51 and divides the inner storage space of the water tank 51.
- the inlet holes 121 and 122 spaced vertically from each other are formed on the dividing plates 120 and 150, and the shutoff valves 123 capable of opening and closing the inlet holes 121 and 122 are hingeably coupled to one side of the dividing plates 120 and 150.
- the shutoff valves 123 have a sufficient size to block the inlet holes 121 and 122, and the front ends thereof are hingeably coupled to one side of the dividing plates 120 and 150. As the shutoff valves 123 rotate around a hinge point as an axial point, they perform the action of blocking or opening the inlet holes 121 and 122 by rotation. Each of the storage chambers divided by the dividing plates 120 and 150 are able to receive and move flush water or wash water unidirectionally by means of the shutoff valves 123.
- the water supply valve 70 adapted to the above-described embodiments 2, 3, and 4 can be understood in more detail by referencing to FIG.21.
- the float 72 plays the role of opening and closing the water supply valve 71 by being lifted in relation to the water level of the flush water or wash water stored in the respective storage chambers.
- a water supply line 73 for supplying city water supplied from the outside into the water tank 51 is formed on the water supply valve 71.
- a distributing line 74 as another embodiment is pulled out of the water supply valve 71, and city water supplied from the outside is supplied to the delivery pipe 75 by the distributing line 74, thereby enabling it to cleanly flush the defecation section 20 once again.
- FIG.22 is a sectional view of a wash water storage space separately connected to one side of the water storage tank.
- FIG.23 is a sectional view of a wash water storage space separately connected to the rear side of the water storage tank.
- the wash water storage space is constructed of a first storage chamber 111 formed in a water tank 51 and a second storage chamber 112 formed in a tank 160 located outside an upper part of the water tank 51, and is im ⁇ plemented by preparing connecting pipes 161 communicating the water tank 51 with the tank 160.
- the tank 160 is constructed at the side of the water tank in the embodiment of the present invention, it is obvious that the position of the tank 160 is changeable to the front, rear, and left and right sides of the tank 160 according to conditions.
- the tank 160 is connected to the back face of the tank 51 considering the aesthetic appearance of the toilet, and parts of the tank 160 and connecting pipes 161 are constructed inside a toilet bowl body of a toilet or the like.
- the construction, structure and principle of the present invention are the same even if the tank 160 is connected to the back face of the water tank 51.
- a filter unit 60 for filtering wash water is constructed at a point connected to the connecting pipes 161 of the tank 160, and shutoff valves 123 are installed inside the connecting pipe 161 for communicating the water tank 51 with the tank 160. It may also be possible to install the shutoff valves 123 at a point at which the connecting pipe 161 of the water tank 51 and tank 160 are connected.
- one or a plurality of connecting pipes 161 can be constructed as is the case with the inlet holes 121 and 122. However, it is preferable to construct at least three connecting pipes 161 vertically spaced from one another, considering smooth supply of wash water to the first storage chamber 111 from the second storage chamber and the water level of the wash water stored in the second storage chamber 112.
- the energy saving toilet bowl system recycling wash water of this invention enables the saving of flush water since the wash water to be disposed of is recirculated to a water storage tank of the toilet bowl and reused, provides the effect of improving water quality and preventing environmental contamination since emissions of contaminated water to be disposed of are reduced, along with the effect of saving water resources through recycling of wash water, allows a user to obtain economic gain through energy conservation, and prevents the congestion or the like of a sewer because various kinds of impurities or the like can be filtered and removed using a filter, thereby enabling more efficient use.
- the system is adaptable to most toilet bowls.
