Abstract

Disclosed is an improved sanitary toilet bowl capable of protecting a human body against bacteria and giving a comfortable environment to a toilet by sucking and removing bad smell and bacteria. The sanitary toilet bowl includes a valve unit mounted to open or close a top of the overflow tube according to a water level in the water tank, an air suction tube installed to communicate with the overflow tube through the valve unit, a circulating pump installed in water of the water tank and having a circulating water suction tube and a circulating water discharge tube respectively provided at both ends thereof to suck the water stored in the water tank and discharge the sucked water for circulation, and a Venturi tube installed on the circulating water suction tube or the circulating water discharge tube and connected to the air suction tube perpendicularly to generate an Venturi effect.

Claims

1. A sanitary toilet bowl, which includes a toilet bowl body, a water tank for supplying water to the toilet bowl body, a main supply tube for connecting the water tank to the toilet bowl body, and an overflow tube connected to one side of the main supply tube and installed in the water tank to allow water over a predetermined level to overflow to the main supply tube, the sanitary toilet bowl comprising:

a valve unit mounted to open or close a top of the overflow tube according to a water level in the water tank;

an air suction tube installed to communicate with the overflow tube through the valve unit;

a circulating pump installed in water of the water tank and having a circulating water suction tube and a circulating water discharge tube respectively provided at both ends thereof to suck the water stored in the water tank and discharge the sucked water for circulation; and

a Venturi tube installed on the circulating water suction tube or the circulating water discharge tube and connected to the air suction tube perpendicularly to generate a Venturi effect.

2. The sanitary toilet bowl of claim 1, wherein the valve unit includes:

a valve sheet having a sealing material capable of sealing an open top of the overflow tube;

a floating body provided at both sides of the valve sheet or an outer side of a rotary body;

a valve body guided to allow the valve sheet to move vertically;

a spring interposed into the valve body and located at an upper portion of the valve sheet;

a stationary plate fixed to a top of the valve body;

an exhaust port configured to communicate with the overflow tube through the stationary plate and the valve body; and

a makeup water feeding hole configured to communicate with the overflow tube through the stationary plate and the valve body.

3. The sanitary toilet bowl of claim 1, wherein the valve unit includes:

a support fixed to one side of the overflow tube and having an ‘

L’

shape;

a floating body floating in water;

a lever configured to fix the floating body and fixed to a top of the support by a hinge;

a valve sheet fixed to a part of the lever by a hinge and configured to open or close a top of the overflow tube;

an exhaust port configured to communicate with the overflow tube through the valve sheet; and

a makeup water feeding hole configured to communicate with the overflow tube through the valve sheet.

4. The sanitary toilet bowl of claim 1, further comprising a pedestal body provided to the toilet bowl body so that a user seats thereon,

wherein the pedestal body includes:

a pedestal body pivotally coupled to an upper surface of the toilet bowl body to guide the user to seat thereon for defecation;

a plurality of protrusions protruding on a lower surface of the pedestal body and arranged in a circumferential direction; and

a sealing member fixed between the protrusions to seal a gap between the toilet bowl body and the pedestal body.

5. A sanitary toilet bowl, which includes a toilet bowl body, a water tank for supplying water to the toilet bowl body to discharge excretion to a septic tank after defecation, and a supply water feeding chamber formed along an upper circumference of the toilet bowl body so that the water supplied from the water tank partially flows down along an inner wall of the toilet bowl body, the sanitary toilet bowl comprising:

an air suction chamber formed in an upper space formed by dividing the supply water feeding chamber into upper and lower spaces by a partition;

a plurality of air suction holes formed along an inner circumference of the air suction chamber;
