Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] [Industrial field of application] This invention uses the vertical movement of the water level in the tank by immersing it in water in the high tank or low tank, which is a storage tank for flush water in a flush toilet. Coloring the washing water
This invention relates to a container for an automatic toilet bowl cleaner for flush toilets, which has a structure that automatically releases appropriate amounts of chemicals that impart effects such as fragrance, disinfection, and cleaning power.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, as a container for an automatic toilet bowl cleaner for a flush toilet, a baffle plate or a partition plate is provided inside a container containing a drug, and the drug is dissolved by water flowing along the partition plate. There are some that allow water to flow out of the container (for example, Utility Model Publication No. 55-4390). In this conventional container, the partition plate was fixedly supported on the inner wall of the container and was also arranged at an angle.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the conventional container described above, the partition plate had to be fixed to the inner wall of the container in an inclined state, which complicated the manufacturing operation of the container. Furthermore, as the drug is consumed, the distance between the partition plate and the drug gradually becomes wider, which may impair the contact between the water flow and the drug, leading to insufficient release of the drug.

The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned problems with conventional cleaning agent containers, and is an extremely easy-to-manufacture product for flush toilets that can maintain a sufficient amount of chemical release over a long period of time. The purpose is to provide a container for automatic toilet bowl cleaner.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the container according to the present invention includes a container containing a drug solution, a baffle plate disposed in the container over the drug, and a baffle plate. In a container for an automatic toilet cleaner for flush toilets, the baffle plate has a corrugated shape and is inserted into the inside of the container. It is characterized by being located at the top of the drug.

[Operation] The container of automatic toilet bowl cleaner is submerged in a tank in which water is stored. The water level in the tank moves up and down when the toilet bowl is flushed. When the water level moves up and down within the tank, water flows through the container through small water passage holes provided in the container containing the drug. When water flows between the baffle and the drug within the container, the drug is dissolved. The dissolved drug is carried by the water flow and released outside the container, that is, into the tank.

The baffle is made in a corrugated shape and is assembled into the container by simply inserting it into the container.
The work is extremely easy as it only needs to be inserted.

The wave-shaped baffle plate has light elasticity. Therefore, when it is inserted into a container, the sides A and B of the baffle plate are lightly joined to the inner surface of the container. This stabilizes the position of the baffle plate within the container.

In some cases, the baffle plate may come into surface contact with the wall of the container where the small holes for water flow are provided, but since the baffle plate has a corrugated shape, the small holes may not be covered by the baffle plate. Water flow will not be obstructed due to blockage.

The baffle plate is simply joined to the side of the container and is not fixedly supported, so that it moves downward within the container due to its own weight or slight vibration. As a result, even if the amount of the drug decreases as it is consumed, the gap between the baffle plate and the drug does not widen significantly, and the ability of the water flow to dissolve the drug can be maintained at a high level over a long period of time.

[Example] The cleaning agent container according to the present invention is suspended in a tank or submerged in the bottom of the tank, as shown in FIG. 14, for example.

The cleaning agent container will be described below with reference to some examples.

First Embodiment FIGS. 1 to 3 show a first embodiment. As shown in these figures, the cleaning agent container is attached to the hanging cord 7.
a container 3 suspended from the container 3, a weight 6 housed in the bottom of the container 3, and a drug 5 placed on the weight 6.
and a baffle plate 4 disposed above the medicine 5. The container 3 has a small hole 1 and a small hole 2 on opposing sides with a baffle plate 4 interposed therebetween, and automatically sucks and discharges water in the tank.

As shown in FIG. 3, the small hole 1 and the small hole 2 have a difference in height h between their drilling positions. A portion of the water in the container corresponding to the water level difference of height h passes through the flow paths indicated by arrows a and b by the action of the baffle plate 4 in conjunction with the vertical movement of the water level in the tank. The flow gently disturbs the surface of the drug 5 and dissolves it appropriately.
The dissolved drug is stably and reliably released from the small holes 1 and 2 little by little.

The container 3 is made into a bag shape using water-impermeable paper, cloth, nonwoven fabric, thin metal plate, synthetic resin, etc., a combination of these materials, or a laminate of these materials. In addition to the bag shape, it can also be made into any shape such as a box or a cylinder.

Those shapes cut the material to any size,
It can be obtained by bending, heat bonding, adhesive bonding, suturing, welding, etc. In this case, an expensive and precise mold is not required for processing. In addition, modification and prototyping can be done easily. Moreover, it can be immediately applied to both mass production using automatic manufacturing machines and small-scale production by hand.

This container can be manufactured very cheaply, so
The cost of conventional products can be significantly reduced.
Furthermore, they are easy to use, and if they are made of paper or cloth, they are easy to dispose of.

The weight 6 is for submerging the cleaning agent container into water in the tank at the beginning of use, and is made of, for example, sand, cement, plaster, or the like. In addition.
If it can be made to sink under its own weight, the weight 6 is not necessary.

The baffle plate 4 is made of synthetic resin, water-resistant paper, metal plate, etc., and is formed into a wave shape as shown in FIG. 6 or 7. The one shown in FIG. 6 has a continuous wave shape. The one shown in FIG. 7 has one wave shape and the other parts are flat.

When manufacturing a cleaning agent container, the baffle plate 4 is attached to the container 3.
inserted inside. The inserted baffle plate 4 is fixed in position within the container with its sides A and B joining to the side surfaces of the container 3, and its lower side C being slightly spaced from the surface of the medicine 5.

Second Embodiment FIGS. 4 and 5 show a second embodiment. In this embodiment, a sinking rod 8 is used instead of the weight 6 to sink the container into water. Container 3 is
This is the same bag-like container as in the first embodiment.

Third Embodiment FIGS. 8 to 10 show a third embodiment. The container 3 is a box-shaped container made of waterproof paper, a metal plate, a synthetic resin, etc., and is intended for hanging or sinking to the bottom of water.

Fourth Embodiment FIGS. 11 to 13 show a fourth embodiment. The container 3 is a hanging cylindrical container made of waterproof paper, waterproof cloth, synthetic resin, rubber, etc. and sealed by tightening the top and bottom.

[Effects of the invention] According to the invention, the baffle plate can be simply inserted into the container, making the manufacturing process of the cleaning agent container very simple.

Moreover, since the baffle plate is made in a wave shape, even if the baffle plate comes into surface contact with the inner surface of the container, the water passage small holes will not be blocked, and normal water flow will always be obtained.

Further, the baffle plate is merely inserted into the container, and is not fixedly fixed to the container. Therefore, when the drug is consumed and its surface position becomes lower, it can be moved downward by its own weight or by slight vibration. Therefore, the distance between the baffle plate and the drug does not become too wide, and therefore, the drug can be reliably dissolved by the water flow over a long period of time.
