[0041] The present application will be further described below with reference to the drawings. For the ease of description, the positional relationships of “front”, “rear”, “left” and “right” hereinafter are explained as follows: the toilet is generally placed close to a wall, and the water supply pipe is led out from the wall; when a man approaches the toilet and overlooks the toilet, FIG. 1 is what he saw. It is defined that, “bottom” in FIG. 1 is the “front” in the following description, “top” in FIG. 1 is the “rear” in the following description, “left” in FIG. 1 is the “left” in the following description, and “right” in FIG. 1 is the “right” in the following description.

[0042] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, a flush toilet according to the present application includes a basin portion 100, a washing water supply portion 200 and a sewage pipe 300. In the flush toilet of this embodiment, washing water is provided by a water storage tank (not shown) to the washing water supply portion 200 of the flush toilet according to the present application. The washing water supply portion 200 has a water inlet 41 configured to connect to the water storage tank, the water flowing in from the water inlet 41 is throttled by a throttling port 44, then flows from a first water inlet pipe 42 to a second water inlet pipe 43, and then flows from the second water inlet pipe 43 to a water outlet 40, and finally the washing water flows toward the front from the water outlet 40 to wash the basin portion 100. A flow sectional area of the first water inlet pipe 42 is larger than a flow sectional area of the throttling port 44, a flow sectional area of the second water inlet pipe 43 is larger than the flow sectional area of the first water inlet pipe 42, and the second water inlet pipe 43 gradually widens to the water outlet 40. Preferably, the flow sectional area of the throttling port 44 is 25% to 50% of a flow sectional area of the water inlet 41, the flow sectional area of the first water inlet pipe 42 is 120% to 150% of the flow sectional area of the throttling port 44, the flow sectional area of the second water inlet pipe 43 is 250% to 350% of the flow sectional area of the throttling port 44, and a flow sectional area of the water outlet 40 is 300% to 400% of the flow sectional area of the throttling port 44. Undoubtedly, the flow sectional area of the first water inlet pipe is smaller than the flow sectional area of the water inlet, and the flow sectional area of the second water inlet pipe is larger than the flow sectional area of the first water inlet pipe. The flow sectional area of the first water inlet pipe is 30% to 75% of the flow sectional area of the water inlet, and the flow sectional area of the second water inlet pipe is 5/3 to 35/12 of the flow sectional area of the first water inlet pipe. The flow sectional area of the water outlet is 75% to 200% of the flow sectional area of the water inlet. In this embodiment, the washing water supply portion has only one water outlet in communication with the water inlet.

[0043] In this embodiment, the basin portion 100 has a filth receiving surface 10, an inner edge portion 20 formed on an upper portion of the filth receiving surface 10, and a recess 30 formed on a lower portion of the filth receiving surface 10; and the recess 30 has a peripheral wall 32 connected to the lower portion of the filth receiving surface 10. As shown in FIG. 2, an inner peripheral surface of the inner edge portion 20 has a shape that slightly extends outward, and the inner edge portion 20 has a certain height so that the washing water swirling in a horizontal direction, which is described later, does not splash out. The shape of the inner edge portion 20 may be vertical or may be of extending inward.

[0044] The water outlet 40 of the washing water supply portion 200 is formed on a left side of the inner peripheral surface of the inner edge portion 20 of the basin portion 100, and the water outlet 40 is located on a rear side of the recess 30 or a rear portion of the recess 30, so that the water from the water outlet 40 can wash over the entire basin portion 100. The water outlet 40 is smoothly connected to the filth receiving surface 10, so that the washing water flowing out of the water outlet 40 can flow against the filth receiving surface 10. In order to enable part of the water flowing out of the water outlet 40 to flow to a rear portion of the filth receiving surface 10 along the inner peripheral surface of the inner edge portion 20, in this embodiment, a basin-shaped water guide passage 21 for guiding the washing water is formed in an area below the inner peripheral surface of the inner edge portion 20, and the water guide passage 21 is formed substantially horizontally on an outer peripheral portion of the filth receiving surface 10, as shown in FIG. 2. A bottom surface of the water outlet 40 is substantially continuous with a surface of the water guide passage 21, and the water guide passage 21 can guide part of the washing water flowing out of the water outlet 40 to the rear portion of the filth receiving surface 10 along the inner peripheral surface of the inner edge portion 20.

[0045] In this embodiment, the sewage pipe 300 has an introduction pipe 81, a bottom portion 82 and a rising pipe 83. The introduction pipe 81 serves as an inlet of the sewage pipe 300 and is connected to the recess 30 with a smooth and continuous curved surface, and extends backward and downward. The washing water flowing from the recess 30 into the introduction pipe 81 flows smoothly in the introduction pipe 81 to the bottom portion 82, and then flows from the bottom portion 82 to the rising pipe 83, and is finally discharged to the outside of the flush toilet.

[0046] The recess 30 of the basin portion 100 has a bottom surface 31 formed in a front region under a water sealing surface L, the bottom surface 31 is connected to the peripheral wall 32 of the recess located on the front side, and the introduction pipe 81 is connected to the bottom surface 31. In addition, the bottom surface 31 is formed in an area closer to the front than the introduction pipe 81, and may be formed substantially horizontally, or be inclined backward and downward (the bottom surface may be a flat surface or a curved surface). Due to the existence of the bottom surface 31, the filth suspended in the recess 30 is directly flushed to the sewage pipe by the washing water, so as to avoid difficult discharge of the filth due to remaining and swirling in the recess. The bottom surface 31 smoothly transitions downward from one side to another side in the left-right direction, and the transition from high to low of the bottom surface 31 is consistent with a flow direction of a second water flow. In this embodiment, the left side is higher than the right side of the bottom surface, and the height gradually decreases from the left side to the right side, which can accelerate the rotation of the second water flow and facilitate the discharge of the sewage.

[0047] In this embodiment, a first flow guide portion 50, configured to cause the washing water flowing out to a front portion of the filth receiving surface 10 to flow toward the inlet of the sewage pipe, is formed on the filth receiving surface 10, and the first flow guide portion 50 may have a protrusion 51 formed on the filth receiving surface 10, and the protrusion 51 is formed by formed by protruding inward one side surface of the filth receiving surface 10 in a left-right direction. In this embodiment, the protrusion 51 is formed on one side (that is, the right side) opposite to the water outlet 40 in the left-right direction, a front surface of the protrusion 51 is formed as a flow guide surface 52 of the first flow guide portion 50, and the flow guide surface 52 is inclined downward toward an inlet 81 of the sewage pipe. A corner portion greater than 90 degrees is formed between the front surface of the protrusion 51 and the filth receiving surface 10, that is, the corner formed by the protrusion and the non-protrusion of the filth receiving surface 10 is an obtuse angle when the flush toilet is viewed from above. Preferably, the washing water flowing out from the water outlet 40 to the front portion of the filth receiving surface 10 partially collides with the protrusion 51 to roll, and then falls from a side wall of the protrusion 51 and flows to the inlet of the sewage pipe. In general, the washing water flowing from the water outlet 40 to the front portion of the filth receiving surface 10 is guided by the first flow guide portion 50 to flow to the inlet of the sewage pipe to form a first water flow F1. In order to make the entire basin portion 100 more beautiful, two protrusions are provided, and the two protrusions are symmetrically distributed in the left-right direction of the filth receiving surface 10.

[0048] Optionally, the first flow guide portion has a first receiving surface formed on one side of the water outlet and a second receiving surface formed on another side of the water outlet in the left-right direction of the filth receiving surface, the second receiving surface is formed at a height lower than the first receiving surface, and a rear end of the second receiving surface is directed toward the inlet of the sewage pipe. For example, the first receiving surface on the left side spirals downward or smoothly transitions downward to the second receiving surface on the right side, so that the washing water flows downward from the first receiving surface to the second receiving surface and then to the inlet of the sewage pipe to form the first water flow F1. In addition, in order to better guide the washing water toward the inlet of the sewage pipe, the first flow guide portion may have a groove formed on the front portion of the filth receiving surface, and the groove is inclined downward toward the inlet of the sewage pipe. The groove may be arranged independently or on the front surface of the protrusion 51 in this embodiment. The specific design of the first flow guide portion is not limited to this.

[0049] A second flow guide portion 60, configured to guide the washing water to rotate along the peripheral wall 32 of the recess, is formed at a rear portion of the filth receiving surface 10. Specifically, the second flow guide portion 60 may be a flow guide wall surface formed at the rear portion of the filth receiving surface 10, and the guide wall surface is smoothly connected to the water guide passage 21 and is in smooth transition with the peripheral wall 32 on the rear side of the recess. That is, the water guide passage 21 narrows at the rear portion of the filth receiving surface 10 or no substantially horizontal water guide passage 21 is provided at the rear portion of the filth receiving surface 10. Besides, the second flow guide portion 60 may have other structure, as long as it can guide the water at the rear portion of the filth receiving surface 10 to rotate along the peripheral wall 32 of the recess.

[0050] In this way, part of the washing water flowing out of the water outlet 40 forms a horizontal swirling flow in a counterclockwise direction along the water guide passage 21 and flows to the rear portion of the filth receiving surface 10. This part of the washing water is guided by the second flow guide portion 60 to rotate along the peripheral wall 32 of the recess to form a second water flow F2. The first water flow F1 and the second water flow F2 act together to generate a vortex to agitate the filth and discharge the filth from the sewage pipe 300.

[0051] In order to better form the rotating water flow along the peripheral wall 32 of the recess, a third flow guide portion 70 is formed on the filth receiving surface 10 close to the water outlet 40, the third flow guide portion 70 is an inclined surface formed on a front side of the water outlet 40, and the inclined surface smoothly transitions downward from the water outlet 40 to the peripheral wall 32 of the recess. Part of the water flowing out of the water outlet 40 is guided by the third flow guide portion 70 to rotate along the peripheral wall 32 of the recess to form a third water flow F3, and a rotation direction of the third water flow F3 is consistent with a rotation direction of the second water flow F2.

[0052] FIG. 4 is a schematic view of the flow direction of washing water of the flush toilet according to an embodiment of the present application. When a user turns on the flushing switch (not shown), a drainage port in the water storage tank is opened, the washing water flows into the water inlet 41 of the washing water supply portion 200, and the water flowing in from the water inlet 41 is throttled by the throttling port 44 and then flows from the first water inlet pipe 42 to the second water inlet pipe 43, and then flows from the second water inlet pipe 43 to the water outlet 40. Since the flow sectional area of the first water inlet pipe 42 is larger than the flow sectional area of the throttling port 44, and the flow sectional area of the second water inlet pipe 43 is larger than the flow sectional area of the first water inlet pipe 42, the second water inlet pipe 43 gradually widens to the water outlet 40. Therefore, the water flowing out of the water storage tank is decelerated by the first water inlet pipe before flowing to the second water inlet pipe, and is again decelerated by the second water inlet pipe before flowing to the water outlet, so that the noise generated by entering of water is significantly reduced.

[0053] A part of the washing water flowing out of the water outlet 40 flows forward to the front portion of the filth receiving surface 10; this part of the washing water is guided by the first flow guide portion 50 and is blocked at the protrusion 51 and flows backward from the flow guide surface 52 toward the inlet of the sewage pipe to form the first water flow F1; this part of the washing water falls from the peripheral wall 32 of the recess to the bottom surface 31 of the recess, and then flows to the introduction pipe 81.

[0054] In addition, a part of the washing water flowing out of the water outlet 40 flows forward along the water guide passage 21, and flows along the inner peripheral surface of the inner edge portion 20 to the rear portion of the filth receiving surface 10 to generate swirling under the guidance of the water guide passage 21. This part of the washing water flows to the second flow guide portion 60 located at the rear portion of the filth receiving surface 10, and the washing water swirls and falls under the guidance of the second flow guide portion 60, and rotates along the peripheral wall 32 of the recess to form the second water flow F2.

[0055] Besides, a part of the washing water flowing out of the water outlet 40 directly flows to the third flow guide portion 70 close to the water outlet 40, and rotates along the peripheral wall 32 of the recess under the guidance of the third flow guide portion 70 to form the third water flow F3. The rotation direction of the third water flow F3 is consistent with the rotation direction of the second water flow F2. The above first water flow F1, the second water flow F2 and the third water flow F3 act together to generate the vortex to agitate the filth and discharge the filth from the sewage pipe 300.

[0056] As another embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 6, the filth receiving surface 10 is formed with a fourth flow guide portion 90 on one side of the washing water supply portion 200, the washing water flowing out from the water outlet 40 to the front portion of the filth receiving surface 10 is guided by the fourth flow guide portion 90 to converge with the washing water flowing out of the water outlet 40 and along the inner peripheral surface of the inner edge portion 20, and most of the washing water after confluence forms the first water flow F1 under guidance of the first flow guide portion 50. Another part of water continuously flows to the rear portion of the filth receiving surface along the inner peripheral surface of the inner edge portion 20, and rotates along the peripheral wall 32 of the recess under the guidance of the second flow guide portion 60 to form the second water flow F2.

[0057] The present application is not only applicable to the flush toilet with the water storage tank, but also to a flush toilet using a pressure storage mechanism or a flush toilet directly using tap water as washing water. Although the present application is used in the direct-flush toilet in this embodiment, the present application is also applicable to a siphon-flush toilet, a siphon-spraying flush toilet with a spraying port.

[0058] The preferred embodiments of the present application are shown and described above. It should be understood that the present application is not limited to the form disclosed herein, and should not be regarded as an exclusion of other embodiments, but may be used in various other combinations, modifications and environments, and may be modified through the above teachings or technology or knowledge in related fields within the scope of the inventive concept of the present application. However, the modifications and changes made by those skilled in the art do not deviate from the spirit and scope of the present application, and shall be within the protection scope of the claims attached to the present application.
