Detailed Description

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention as described above will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 is a front partial sectional view of a toilet stool capable of performing hydroponics in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in fig. 1, the toilet stool capable of water planting according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention generally includes a toilet stool 100, a flowerpot 300, and a plant fixing plate 700.

The toilet 100 is a split type configuration that is commonly used, and includes: a toilet 130 for receiving excrement; and a water tank 110 for receiving water supplied to the toilet bowl 130 for discharging the excrement.

The flowerpot 300 is formed in a barrel shape, is mounted on the water tank 110, and is provided with a flowerpot support 500 having a cylindrical shape having the same cross section as the upper end of the water tank 110 for a good appearance, the flowerpot 300 is inserted into the flowerpot support 500, and the upper end of the flowerpot 300 is bent outward and mounted on the upper end of the flowerpot support 500.

An inflow hole 310 through which water flows is formed at one side of a lower end portion of the port 300, and a discharge hole 330 through which the water flowing into the port 300 is discharged is formed at the other side, wherein the inflow hole 310 is connected to the service water pipe 111 provided inside the water tank 110 by a connection nozzle 350.

That is, in the conventional toilet bowl 10 capable of performing hydroponic culture in which water supplied from the auxiliary water pipe 111 is directly supplied into the water tank 110 and is filled in the water tank 110, water supplied through the auxiliary water pipe 111 is supplied to the flowerpot 300 through the connection nozzle 350, and water supplied to the flowerpot 300 is again supplied into the water tank 110 through the discharge hole 330.

On the other hand, in order to secure a connection space of the connection nozzle 350, as shown in fig. 2, it is preferable that the flowerpot 300 has a shape that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom.

In order to smoothly flow the water flowing into the flowerpot 300, it is preferable that the bottom of the flowerpot 300 is gradually inclined downward from the side where the inflow hole 310 is formed toward the side where the discharge hole 330 is formed, and the water flowing into the flowerpot 300 is smoothly discharged through the discharge hole 330.

The inflow hole 310 and the discharge hole 330 are formed at positions spaced apart from the bottom surface of the flowerpot 300 by a predetermined distance, and a part of the inflow water is received at a predetermined water level or more under the flowerpot.

On the other hand, a plurality of support protrusions 370 are formed at an upper portion of the inner side of the flowerpot 300 with a predetermined distance from the upper end of the flowerpot 300 as a reference in order to be coupled to the plant fixing plate 700.

The plant fixing plate 700 is formed in a plate shape placed on the supporting protrusions 370, and has a plurality of plant fixing holes 701, and is configured to fix the plant 1 by inserting the stem of the plant 1 into the plant fixing holes 701.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, a plurality of plant fixing holes 701 are formed in a plant fixing plate 700 so as to be aligned with each other, and the plant fixing plate 700 is formed so as to be separated from each other by cutting the plant fixing plate 700 along a line so as to pass through the center of each plant fixing hole 701. For reference, fig. 3 illustrates a configuration in which the plant fixing holes 701 are all arranged on a single straight line and are formed by the first fixing plate 710 and the second fixing plate 730.

The plant fixing plate 700 is formed in a shape in which the roots and the branches are relatively wider than the stems in the shape of the general plant 1, and thus, the stems of the plant 1 are fixed to the plant fixing plate 700 by placing the second fixing plate 730 on the upper ends of the supporting protrusions 370 at the opposite side to the supporting protrusions 370 supporting the first fixing plate 710 in a state in which the plant 1 is placed on the upper ends of the supporting protrusions 701 in the semicircular shape after the first fixing plate 710 is placed on the upper ends of the supporting protrusions 370.

On the other hand, although not shown, in some cases, a hemispherical cap having an outer diameter the same as the inner diameter of the plant fixing hole 701 and formed with various inner diameters is additionally inserted into the plant fixing hole 701, thereby more firmly fixing the plant 1.

The water-culturable toilet bowl 10 according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention may be constructed as described above to cultivate the plant 1 accommodated in the flowerpot 300 in a deep water culture manner in which the roots of the plant are immersed in water.

For reference, in the deep water culture method, it is important that the roots are not rotten as they grow in a state in which the roots are immersed in water, and in the toilet bowl 10 capable of performing water culture according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the water in which the roots are immersed is changed and flowed as the toilet bowl is used, so that the water is sufficiently oxygenated and anaerobic microorganisms are not generated, and thus, the problem of rotten roots can be prevented.

Further, although not shown, in the toilet bowl 10 capable of performing hydroponic culture according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, a fan that is rotated by external power may be provided at one side of the port frame 500, a duct connected to water contained in the port 300 may be provided at the rear side of the fan, air in the toilet may be sucked by the fan, and the air sucked by the fan may be supplied to the water contained in the port 300 through the duct, thereby generating bubbles, as needed. Also, a mesh-like fabric may be provided in the duct.

When the fan, the duct, and the fabric are additionally installed, moisture in the toilet flows into the duct by the fan, and the moisture flowing into the duct is condensed by the mesh-shaped fabric and flows into the flowerpot 300. I.e. may contribute to improving a wet toilet environment.

In addition, air flowing into the inside of the flowerpot generates bubbles in the water contained in the flowerpot 300, thereby increasing the oxygen concentration contained in the water, providing an environment more conducive to the growth of the plant 1, and generating artificial noise when a user defecates, so that the user can defecate comfortably.

In the toilet stool 10 capable of hydroponic cultivation according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the toilet stool, the flowerpot support, and the plant fixing plate have the same form and connection relationship as those of the toilet stool capable of hydroponic cultivation according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention described above, and the positions of the inlet hole and the outlet hole of the flowerpot are different.

Fig. 4 is a side sectional view of a port of a structure included in a toilet stool capable of water culture according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in fig. 4, in a port 300 according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, an inflow hole 310 is formed at a bottom surface of the port 300, and a discharge hole 330 is formed at a bottom surface of the port 300 or a side surface of the port 300 at a position adjacent to the bottom surface of the port 300.

In this case, as shown in fig. 4, the inflow hole 310 may be formed in plurality on the bottom surface of the flowerpot 300.

In addition, as in the previously described embodiment, the auxiliary water pipe of the toilet bowl is connected to the inflow holes 310 by the connection nozzle 350, and when there are a plurality of inflow holes 310, a branch pipe 351 is additionally provided between the connection nozzle 350 and each of the inflow holes 310 so that water supplied from the connection nozzle 350 is uniformly sprayed to each of the inflow holes 310.

The water supplied through the inflow hole 310 is sprayed toward the vertical direction from the bottom surface of the flowerpot due to the formation position of the inflow hole 310, and the oxygen content of the supplied water can be increased as the supplied water is sprayed toward the vertical direction.

The water supplied into the interior of the port 300 is immediately supplied again to the water tank of the toilet bowl through the discharge hole 330 formed at or near the bottom surface of the port 300, rather than being contained in the interior of the port 300.

In the toilet bowl 10 capable of hydroponic cultivation according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the plant 1 can be hydroponically cultivated in a thin film manner due to the positions of the inflow hole 310 and the discharge hole 330 as described above.

For reference, the thin film hydroponics is a method of supplying water by flowing a small amount of water to the roots of the plants, and can effectively prevent the problem of insufficient oxygen, but in order to prevent the problem of insufficient water, it is necessary to circulate water periodically so that the roots of the plants 1 are not dried.

However, in the toilet bowl 10 capable of water culture according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the average number of times of using the toilet per person is 7 to 8, and the problem of the water shortage can be solved by using the toilet by the user even without additional management in order to prevent the water shortage.

On the other hand, in order to prevent the situation in which a user may leave a toilet for a long time such as traveling, a timer (not shown) is additionally provided to periodically supply water to the flowerpot 300 through the auxiliary water pipe in the toilet bowl capable of water culture according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, thereby preventing the problem of insufficient water.

As another method for solving the problem of insufficient water, as shown in fig. 5, an electrode bar 900 may be additionally provided at the bottom of the tank 110, and more precisely, the electrode bar 900 may be provided so that the upper end thereof is adjacent to the upper end of the tank float 113 of the tank 110.

Further, whether the water level of the water contained in the water tank 110 is located at the upper side of the water tank float 113 or at the lower side of the water tank float 113 may be determined in real time according to whether the energization is recognized from the electrode bar 900, and in case that the water level contained in the water tank 110 is recognized at the lower side of the water tank float 113, the time may be counted by the timer from a corresponding time. When it is recognized that the water contained in the water tank 110 is not located under the water tank float 113 for a predetermined time or more, it is determined that the root of the plant 1 located in the flowerpot 300 is in a water shortage state, and the auxiliary water pipe 111 is supplied with water, thereby saving water and effectively supplying water to the plant.

The technical idea of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. The range of application is various, and various modifications can be made by those skilled in the art within the scope not departing from the gist of the present invention in the scope of the claims. It is therefore evident that such modifications and variations are considered within the scope of the invention.
