DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

(28) The following description is disclosed to enable any person skilled in the art to make and use the present invention. Preferred embodiments are provided in the following description only as examples and modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The general principles defined in the following description would be applied to other embodiments, alternatives, modifications, equivalents, and applications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

(29) Referring to FIG. 1 of the drawings, a water tank-less toilet flushing system according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated, wherein the water tank-less toilet flushing system comprises a flushing system and a control system. The control system comprises a first solenoid valve 2 and a second solenoid valve 3, wherein inlets of the first solenoid valve 2 and the second solenoid vale 3 are connected to a water pipe 5.

(30) The flushing system comprises a toilet bowl 1 having a flush port 101 connected to the water pipe 5 for introducing water to flush the toilet pool 1, a siphon pool 102 at a bottom portion of the toilet bowl 1 to maintain a predetermined water level therein as a barrier to sewer gas entering and as a receptacle for waste, an injection port 103 located at the bottom portion of the toilet bowl 1 toward a sewage discharging direction of the siphon pool 102, a drain port 104 located at a rear portion of the siphon pool 102 to communicate with the siphon pool 102. In addition, an outlet of the first solenoid valve 2 is operatively linked to the flush port 101 and the outlet of the second solenoid valve 3 is operatively linked to the injection port 103.

(31) The first solenoid valve 2 and the second solenoid valve 3 are located higher than the top surface of the toilet bowl 1. Therefore, in case of the toilet bowl 1 being clogged, the higher water level in the toilet bowl 1 during flushing operation will not cause the sewage in the toilet bowl 1 to be backflow to and pollute the first solenoid valve 2 and the second solenoid valve 3. Accordingly, a signal input terminal of each of the first solenoid valve 2 and the second solenoid valve 3 is operatively linked to a controller of the control system.

(32) The control system further comprises at least a pressure-controlled check valve 4, preferably two pressure-controlled check valves. Accordingly, the pressure-controlled check valve 4 can be a positive pressure-controlled check valve, negative pressure-controlled check valve, or zero pressure-controlled check valve. In particular, the pressure-controlled check valve 4 can be a float-controlled check valve, gravity-controlled check valve, or a spring-loaded check valve. It is worth mentioning that the pressure-controlled check valve 4 is incorporated with the first and second solenoid valves 2, 3. Preferably, two pressure-controlled check valves 4 are incorporated with the first and second solenoid valves 2, 3 respectively. When the first and second solenoid valves 2, 3 are opened for start the flushing operation, the pressure-controlled check valves 4 are closed due to the water pressure generated from the first and second solenoid valves 2, 3. In other words, outlets of the first and second solenoid valves 2, 3 form closed flush channels. When the outlets of the first and second solenoid valves 2, 3 are at zero or negative pressure after the first and second solenoid valves 2, 3 are closed, the pressure-controlled check valve 4 is opened. As a result, the water outlet pipes of the first and second solenoid valves 2, 3 form opened flush channels to communicate with the ambient atmosphere. Since the first and second solenoid valves 2, 3 are located higher than the top surface of the toilet bowl 1, the water level at a flush pipe 105 will return to the lower level to form an air isolated zone 106 at the flush pipe 105. It is worth mentioning that the flush pipe 105 is operatively linked between the first solenoid valve 2 and the injection port 103 of the toilet bowl 1 and the air isolated zone 106 is formed within the flush pipe 105 below the first solenoid valve 2.

(33) It is worth mentioning that when there is no water entering to the water pipe 5, and the first and second solenoid valve 2, 3 are opened, the water pipe 5 is at a negative pressure condition. Since the outlets of the first and second solenoid valves 2, 3 are opened to communicate with the ambient atmosphere through the pressure-controlled check valves 4, the sewage at the siphon pool 102 and the sewer gas at the flush port 101 will not back flow to the water pipe 5 due to the siphon action, so as to prevent water pollution at the water pipe 5.

(34) As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the pressure-controlled check valve 4 is embodied as a float-controlled check valve which comprises an outer casing 6 and a floater 7. The inlet of the outer casing 6 is operatively linked to the outlet of the first solenoid valve 2. The outlet of the outer casing 6 is operatively linked to the flush pipe 105 to the injection port 103 of the toilet bowl 1. The outer casing 6 comprises a floating chamber 601, one or more through apertures 602, and an air inlet aperture 603 communicating with the floating chamber 601. The floating chamber 601 communicates with the outlet of the first solenoid valve 2 through the through apertures 602. The pressure-controlled check valve 4 further comprises a valve seat 604 provided at a bottom end of the air inlet aperture 603. Accordingly, the floater 7, having an upper valve needle 701, is disposed in the floating chamber 601 of the outer casing 6.

(35) As shown in FIG. 2, when the first solenoid valve 2 is opened for releasing the water, the water passes through the through apertures 602 into the floating chamber 601 to lift the floater 7 upwardly in the floating chamber 601, such that the valve seat 604 is sealed and closed by the valve needle 701 of the floater 7 to close the float-controlled check valve. As shown in FIG. 3, when the first solenoid valve 2 is closed, the flush pipe 5 is at a negative pressure condition for releasing water in the floating chamber 601 in such a manner that the floater 7 will drop down to move the valve needle 701 away from the valve seat 604 so as to open the float-controlled check valve. In addition, the flush pipe 105 communicates with the ambient atmosphere through the air inlet aperture 603. As shown in FIG. 1, the water level of the flush pipe 105 is dropped to form the air isolated zone 106.

(36) Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5 of the drawings, the pressure-controlled check valve 4 is embodied as a gravity-controlled check valve, which comprises an outer casing 6 and a valve plug 8. The inlet of the outer casing 6 is operatively linked to the outlet of the first solenoid valve 2. The outlet of the outer casing 6 is operatively linked to the flush pipe 105 to the injection port 103 of the toilet bowl 1. The outer casing 6 comprises a valve chamber 601, one or more through apertures 602, and an air inlet aperture 603 communicating with the valve chamber 601. The valve chamber 601 communicates with the outlet of the first solenoid valve 2 through the through apertures 602. The pressure-controlled check valve 4 further comprises a valve seat 604 provided at a bottom end of the air inlet aperture 603.

(37) Accordingly, the valve plug 8, having a T-shape, is disposed in the valve chamber 601 of the outer casing 6, wherein the valve seat 604 is located above the valve plug 8. As shown in FIG. 4, when the first solenoid valve 2 is opened for releasing the water, the water passes through the through apertures 602 to lift up the valve plug 8 in the valve chamber 601, such that the valve seat 604 is sealed and closed by the valve plug 8. As shown in FIG. 5, when the first solenoid valve 2 is closed, the flush pipe 5 is at a negative pressure condition in such a manner that the valve plug 8 will drop down to move away from the valve seat 604 by gravity. In addition, the flush pipe 105 communicates with the ambient atmosphere through the air inlet aperture 603. As shown in FIG. 1, the water level of the flush pipe 105 is dropped to form the air isolated zone 106.

(38) As shown in FIGS. 6 and 13, the toilet flushing system is constructed to have the first and second solenoid valves 2, 3, a water inlet pipe 9, two water outlet pipes 11, 12, and two pressure-controlled check valves. Accordingly, the first and second solenoid valves 2, 3 can be contained in a universal valve casing 13.

(39) An inlet of the water inlet pipe 9 is connected to the water pipe 5, and an outlet of the water inlet pipe 9 is connected to the universal valve casing 13. In addition, the universal valve casing 13 comprises a transverse duct 1301 connecting between the outlet of the water inlet pipe 9 and the inlets of the first and second solenoid valves 2, 3 respectively. The first water outlet pipe 11 of the first solenoid valve 2 is connected with the injection pipe of the toilet bowl, and the second water outlet pipe 12 of the second solenoid valve 3 is connected to the flush pipe 105.

(40) Since the working principle of the first and second solenoid valves 2, 3 are the same, the first solenoid valve 2 is described as an example to illustrate the configuration of the above preferred embodiment of the present invention. In addition, the first solenoid valve 2 comprises a valve water inlet 201, a solenoid valve seat 202, a valve core 203, an electromagnet 204 and a valve water outlet 205.

(41) The first water outlet pipe 11 is a vertical pipe, wherein an upper end of the water outlet pipe 11 is fixed with the universal valve casing 13, wherein the pressure-controlled check valves 4 are provided at the upper portion of the water outlet pipe 11. The pressure-controlled check valve 4 comprises a control valve core 14 and a compression spring 15.

(42) The first water outlet pipe 11 has an air intake hole 1102 located at an upper portion of the first outlet pipe 11, and an air intake valve seat 1101, wherein an inner slot 1103 is located within the air intake valve seat 1101 to communicate with the ambient atmosphere through the air intake hole 1102.

(43) The valve water outlet 205 comprises an outlet water valve seat 206 provided at the universal valve casing 13, wherein the outlet water valve seat 206 is coaxial with the first water outlet pipe 11.

(44) An axis of the air intake valve seat 1101 and an axis of the outlet water valve seat 206 are arranged horizontally. And, an axis of the first water outlet pipe 11 is intersected with, preferably perpendicular to, the axis of the air intake valve seat 1101 and the axis of the outlet water valve seat 206.

(45) The control valve core 14 comprises a valve flap 1401, a hollow front valve stem 1402 frontwardly extended from the valve flap 1401, and a hollow rear valve stem 1403 rearwardly extended from the valve flap 1401 to coaxial with the front valve stem 1402, wherein the compression spring 15 is mounted within an inner hole of the rear valve stem 1403. In addition, one end (the left end) of the compression spring 15 is supported by a bottom face of the inner slot 1103 of the air intake valve seat 1101, and the other end (the right end) of the compression spring 15 is supported by the valve flap 1401 of the control valve core 14.

(46) The front valve stem 1402 is loosely coupled at a valve inner hole 207 of the outlet water valve seat 206, and the rear valve stem 1403 is loosely coupled at the inner slot 1103 of the air intake valve seat 1101. The rear valve stem 1403 has a plurality of rear valve through holes 1405 communicating the interior of the rear valve stem 1403 with the exterior thereof, and the front valve stem 1402 has a plurality of front valve through holes 1404 communicating with the interior of the front valve stem 1402 with the exterior thereof.

(47) A front sealing ring 17, which is made of rubber, is sleeved at a front ring groove formed a root portion of the front valve stem 1402 and a rear sealing ring 16, which is made of rubber, is sleeved at a rear ring groove formed at a root portion of the rear valve stem 1403. When the compression spring 15 is expanded to move the valve flap 1401, the front sealing ring 17 is sealed at the outlet water valve seat 206, and when the compression spring 15 is compressed to move the valve flap 1401, the rear sealing ring 16 is sealed at the air intake valve seat 1101.

(48) As shown in FIG. 9, when the valve core 203 of the first solenoid valve 2 is opened and the water enters into the water inlet pipe 9, the compression spring 15 is pushed leftward by the control valve core 14 due to the water pressure generated by the water within the water inlet pipe 9. When the control valve core 14 moves leftward, the air intake valve seat 1101 is sealed by the rear rubber ring 16, so as to isolate the first water outlet pipe 11 from the ambient atmosphere. Therefore, the water generated from the water outlet 205 of the first solenoid valve 2 passes through the front valve through hole 1404 of the front valve stem 1402 to the first water outlet pipe 11, so as to start the flushing operation of the toilet flushing system of the present invention.

(49) After the valve core 203 of the first solenoid valve 2 is closed, the water pressure at the water outlet 205 of the first solenoid valve is disappeared, such that no water pressure is provided on the right side of the valve flap 1401. Therefore, the compression spring 15 is pushed by the control valve core 14 to move rightward such that the rear sealing ring 16 is moved away from the air intake valve seat 1101 to open up the air intake valve seat 1101 and the outlet water valve seat 206 is sealed and closed by the front sealing ring 17. The air enters into the first water outlet pipe 11 through the intake hole 1102, the inner hole 1103 of the air intake valve seat 1101, and the rear valve through hole 1405 of the rear valve stem 1403, such that the negative pressure within the first water outlet pipe 11 disappears. As a result, the water level within the first water outlet pipe 11 drops down at the same level of the siphon pool 102 of the toilet bowl 1.

(50) As shown in FIG. 10, when the valve core 203 of the first solenoid valve 2 is opened as well as no water enters into the water inlet pipe 9, the outlet water valve seat 206 is sealed by the compressing spring 15 through the control valve core 14. The negative pressure within the water inlet pipe 9 will not be delivered to the first water outlet pipe 11. Moreover, the first water outlet pipe 11 communicates with the ambient atmosphere through the intake holes 1102, so that the sewage within the siphon pool 102 and the sewer gas within the flush port 101 won't flow back to the water inlet pipe 9 and water pipe 5 due to the siphon action, so as to prevent the water pollution therein.

(51) FIGS. 14 and 15 illustrate an alternative mode of the water tank-less toilet flushing system which comprises a flushing system and a control system. The control system comprises a controller, a first solenoid valve 2, a second solenoid valve 3, and a pressure-controlled check valve 4. The flushing system comprises a toilet bowl 1 having a flush port 101 for introducing water to flush the toilet pool 1, a siphon pool 102 at a bottom portion of the toilet bowl 1 to maintain a predetermined water level therein as a barrier to sewer gas entering and as a receptacle for waste, an injection port 103 located at the bottom portion of the toilet bowl 1 toward a sewage discharging direction of the siphon pool 102, a drain port 104 located at a rear portion of the siphon pool 102 to communicate with the siphon pool 102. In addition, an outlet of the first solenoid valve 2 is operatively linked to the flush port 101 and the outlet of the second solenoid valve 3 is operatively linked to the injection port 103.

(52) The first solenoid valve 2 and the second solenoid valve 3 are located higher than the top surface of the toilet bowl 1. Therefore, in case of the toilet bowl 1 being clogged, the higher water level in the toilet bowl 1 during flushing operation will not cause the sewage in the toilet bowl 1 to be backflow to and pollute the first solenoid valve 2 and the second solenoid valve 3. Accordingly, a signal input terminal of each of the first solenoid valve 2 and the second solenoid valve 3 is operatively linked to a controller of the control system. The inlets of the first solenoid valve 2 and the second solenoid vale 3 are connected to a water pipe 5 via the pressure-controlled check valve 4.

(53) Accordingly, the pressure-controlled check valve 4 can be a positive pressure-controlled check valve, negative pressure-controlled check valve, or zero pressure-controlled check valve. In particular, the pressure-controlled check valve 4 can be a float-controlled valve, gravity-controlled valve, or a spring-loaded valve.

(54) When supplying the water through the water pipe 5, the pressure-controlled check valve 4 will be closed by the water pressure. When stops supplying the water provided to the water pipe 5, a negative pressure generates from the water pipe 5 to open the pressure-controlled check valve 4 so as to communicate the water pipe 5 with the ambient atmosphere. In other words, the negative pressure is offset due to opened condition of the pressure controlled check valve 4. As shown in FIG. 15, if the first and second solenoid valves 2, 3 are opened, the water level of the flush pipe 105 communicating with the injection port 103 returns at the lower level to generate an air isolated zone 106 since the first and second solenoid valves 2, 3 are located higher than the top surface of the toilet bowl 1.

(55) It is worth mentioning that the pressure-controlled check valve 4 is installed between the water pipe 5 and the solenoid valve to control the pressure within the water pipe 5. In other words, the minimum pressure within the water pipe 5 is the atmosphere. No matter there is a water flow within the water pipe 5 or not, the pressure within the water pipe 5 must be higher or equal to the pressure at the outlet of each of the first and second solenoid valves 2, 3.

(56) Because the positions of the first and second solenoid valves 2, 3 are higher than the top surface of the toilet bowl 1, no matter there is a water flow within the water pipe 5 or the first and second solenoid valve 2, 3 at the opened condition, the sewage within the siphon pool 102 and the sewer gas within the toilet bowl 1 will not backflow to the water pipe 5 so as to prevent the water pollution within the water pipe 5.

(57) As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the pressure-controlled check valve 4 is embodied as a spring-loaded check valve which comprises an outer case 6, a compression spring 9 and a valve plug 8, wherein the compression spring 9 is able to lift up the valve plug 8 by means of spring force.

(58) Moreover, an inlet of the outer case 6 is connected to the water pipe 5, and the outlet of the outer case 6 is connected to the first solenoid valve 2. The outer case 6 comprises a valve chamber 601, a plurality of through holes 602, an air inlet hole 603, and a spring valve seat 604 located at a bottom end of the air inlet hole 603, wherein the air inlet hole 603 communicates with the valve chamber 601. The valve chamber 601 is linked to the water pipe 5 through the through holes 602. The spring valve seat 604 is located above the air inlet hole 603.

(59) The valve plug 8 is disposed within the valve chamber 601, and the spring valve seat 604 is located on a top of the valve plug 8. As shown in FIG. 16, when there is a water pressure within the water pipe 5, the compression spring 9 is pushed by the valve plug 8 by means of water pressure so as to compress the compression spring 9, such that the spring valve seat 604 is closed by the valve plug 8 to seal the air inlet hole 603. As shown in FIG. 17, when there is no water in the water pipe 5 to generate a negative pressure, the valve plug 8 is lifted by the compression spring 9, such that the valve plug 8 will move away from the spring valve seat 604. Therefore, the water pipe 5 communicates with the ambient atmosphere through the air inlet hole 603.

(60) As shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, a water tank-less toilet flushing system according to a second embodiment illustrates an alternative mode of the first embodiment, wherein the water tank-less toilet flushing system comprises a flushing system and a control system. The control system comprises a power source, a controller, a controlling switch, a water pressure sensor, a first solenoid valve 2 and a second solenoid valve 3. The flushing system comprises a toilet bowl 1 having a flush port 101 for introducing water to flush the toilet pool 1, a siphon pool 102 at a bottom portion of the toilet bowl 1 to maintain a predetermined water level therein as a barrier to sewer gas entering and as a receptacle for waste, an injection port 103 located at the bottom portion of the toilet bowl 1 toward a sewage discharging direction of the siphon pool 102, a drain port 104 located at a rear portion of the siphon pool 102 to communicate with the siphon pool 102. In addition, an outlet of the first solenoid valve 2 is operatively linked to the flush port 101 and the outlet of the second solenoid valve 3 is operatively linked to the injection port 103.

(61) The first solenoid valve 2 and the second solenoid valve 3 are located higher than the top surface of the toilet bowl 1. Therefore, in case of the toilet bowl 1 being clogged, the higher water level in the toilet bowl 1 during flushing operation will not cause the sewage in the toilet bowl 1 to be backflow to and pollute the first solenoid valve 2 and the second solenoid valve 3. Accordingly, a signal input terminal of each of the first solenoid valve 2 and the second solenoid valve 3 is operatively linked to a controller of the control system. Inlets of the first solenoid valve 2 and the second solenoid vale 3 are connected to the water pipe 5 via a check valve 4.

(62) The check valve is the water pressure sensor 4 that a pressure input of the water pressure sensor 4 is linked to the water pipe 5 to detect the water pressure therein. A pressure signal output terminal of the water pressure sensor 4 is operatively linked to a water pressure signal input terminal of the controller. When there is a water pressure in the water pipe 5, the water pressure sensor 4 will sent a high electric level to the water pressure signal input terminal of the controller. In this condition, the controlling switch is arranged to control the operation of each of the first solenoid valve 2 and the second solenoid valve 3 via the controller for starting the flushing operation of the flushing system. When there is no water in the water pipe 5 to create a negative pressure therewithin, the water pressure sensor 4 will sent a low electric level to the water pressure signal input terminal of the controller. In this condition, the controlling switch cannot control the operation of each of the first solenoid valve 2 and the second solenoid valve 3 in the opened condition via the controller. As a result, the sewage within the siphon pool 102 and the sewer gas within the toilet bowl 1 cannot backflow to the water pipe 5 due to the siphon action, so as to prevent water pollution within the water pipe 5. Once supplying the water to the water pipe 5 again, the main contact of the water pressure sensor 4 is closed, such that the control system resumes back to its normal working condition.

(63) Referring to FIGS. 20 to 22 of the drawings, a first alternative mode of the control system according to the second preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated, wherein the structural configuration of the control system has the same above mentioned components and the check valve comprises a first electro-controlled valve 6 and a second electro-controlled valve 7. Inlets of the first and second electro-controlled valves 6, 7 are communicated with the ambient atmosphere. An outlet of the first electro-controlled valve 6 is linked to the outlet of the first solenoid valve 2. An outlet of the second electro-controlled valve 7 is linked to the outlet of the second solenoid valve 3. The outlet of the first solenoid valve 2 is linked to the flush port 101 of the toilet bowl 1. The outlet of the second solenoid valve 3 is linked to the injection port 103 of the toilet bowl 1.

(64) When supplying water to the water pipe 5, the water pressure sensor 4 will sent a high electric level to the water pressure signal input terminal of the controller. In this condition, the controller will move the first electro-controlled valve 6 and the second electro-controlled valve 7 in the closed condition. The controlling switch is actuated to move the first solenoid valve 2 and the second solenoid valve 3 in the opened condition via the controller for starting the flushing operation of the flushing system.

(65) When there is no water in the water pipe 5 to create a negative pressure therewithin, the water pressure sensor 4 will sent a low electric level to the water pressure signal input terminal of the controller. In this condition, the controller will move the first electro-controlled valve 6 and the second electro-controlled valve 7 in the opened condition. The outlets of the first solenoid valve 2 and the second solenoid valve 3 will communicate with the ambient atmosphere through the first electro-controlled valve 6 and the second electro-controlled valve 7. At this time when the controlling switch is actuated to move the first solenoid valve 2 and the second solenoid valve 3 in the opened condition, the negative pressure at the water pipe 5 will not transferred to the first solenoid valve 2 and the second solenoid valve 3 because of the opened condition of the first solenoid valve 2 and the second solenoid valve 3. As a result, the negative pressure at the water pipe 5 will not create any siphon action that the sewage within the siphon pool 102 and the sewer gas within the toilet bowl 1 will backflow to the water pipe 5, so as to prevent water pollution within the water pipe 5. Once supplying the water to the water pipe 5 again, the water pressure sensor 4 will sent a high electric level to the water pressure signal input terminal of the controller, such that the controller will move the first electro-controlled valve 6 and the second electro-controlled valve 7 in the closed condition, so as to resume the control system back to its normal working condition.

(66) As shown in FIGS. 23 and 24, a second alternative mode of the control system according to the second preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated, wherein the structural configuration of the control system has the same above mentioned components and further comprises a first electro-controlled valve 6 only. In other words, the second electro-controlled valve 7 is omitted in the second alternative mode. Accordingly, the inlet of the first electro-controlled valve 6 communicates with the ambient atmosphere while the outlet of the first electro-controlled valve 6 links to the throttle orifice 8 which communicates with the water pipe 5.

(67) When there is water pressure within the water pipe 5, the water pressure sensor 4 will sent a high electric level to the water pressure signal input terminal of the controller. In this condition, the controller will move the first electro-controlled valve 6 in the closed condition. The controlling switch is actuated to move the first solenoid valve 2 and the second solenoid valve 3 in the opened condition via the controller for starting the flushing operation of the flushing system.

(68) When there is no water in the water pipe 5 to create a negative pressure therewithin, the water pressure sensor 4 will sent a low electric level to the water pressure signal input terminal of the controller. In this condition, the controller will move the first electro-controlled valve 6 in the opened condition. The water pipe 5 will communicate with the ambient atmosphere through the throttle orifice 8 and the electro-controlled valve 6 will also communicate with the ambient atmosphere as well. The pressure within the water pipe 5 will return back to the ambient pressure. At this time when the controlling switch is actuated to move the first solenoid valve 2 and the second solenoid valve 3 in the opened condition, the negative pressure at the water pipe 5 will be dismissed and is not transferred to the first solenoid valve 2 and the second solenoid valve 3 because of the normal pressure in the water pipe 5. As a result, the negative pressure at the water pipe 5 will not create any siphon action that the sewage within the siphon pool 102 and the sewer gas within the toilet bowl 1 will backflow to the water pipe 5, so as to prevent water pollution within the water pipe 5. Once supplying the water to the water pipe 5 again, the pressure within the water pipe 5 will be rapidly increased through the throttle orifice 8, such that the water pressure sensor 4 will sent a high electric level to the water pressure signal input terminal of the controller. Then, the controller will move the first electro-controlled valve 6 in the closed condition, so as to resume the control system back to its normal working condition.

(69) It is worth mentioning that the first electro-controlled valve 6 can be a solenoid valve or a motor-driven valve, such as rotary valve and displacement control valve.

(70) FIG. 25 illustrates another alternative mode of the control system. The control system comprises a power source, a controller, a controlling switch, a pressure-controlled switch, a first solenoid valve 2, and a second solenoid valve 3. The flushing system comprises a toilet bowl 1 having a flush port 101 for introducing water to flush the toilet pool 1, a siphon pool 102 at a bottom portion of the toilet bowl 1 to maintain a predetermined water level therein as a barrier to sewer gas entering and as a receptacle for waste, an injection port 103 located at the bottom portion of the toilet bowl 1 toward a sewage discharging direction of the siphon pool 102, a drain port 104 located at a rear portion of the siphon pool 102 to communicate with the siphon pool 102. In addition, an outlet of the first solenoid valve 2 is operatively linked to the flush port 101 and the outlet of the second solenoid valve 3 is operatively linked to the injection port 103.

(71) The first solenoid valve 2 and the second solenoid valve 3 are located higher than the top surface of the toilet bowl 1. Therefore, in case of the toilet bowl 1 being clogged, the higher water level in the toilet bowl 1 during flushing operation will not cause the sewage in the toilet bowl 1 to be backflow to and pollute the first solenoid valve 2 and the second solenoid valve 3. Accordingly, a signal input terminal of each of the first solenoid valve 2 and the second solenoid valve 3 is operatively linked to a controller of the control system. Inlets of the first solenoid valve 2 and the second solenoid vale 3 are connected to the water pipe 5 via a check valve 4.

(72) The check valve is the pressure-controlled switch 4 that a pressure input of the pressure-controlled switch 4 is linked to the water pipe 5 to detect the water pressure therein. A main signal terminal of the pressure-controlled switch 4 is electrically linked to a 5V electric supplying circuit in series connection, wherein the 5V electric supplying circuit is electrically linked between the power source and the controller. When there is a water pressure in the water pipe 5, the main signal terminal of the pressure-controlled switch 4 is closed. In this condition, the controlling switch is arranged to control the operation of each of the first solenoid valve 2 and the second solenoid valve 3 in the opened condition via the controller for starting the flushing operation of the flushing system. When there is no water in the water pipe 5 to create a negative pressure therewithin, the main signal terminal of the pressure-controlled switch 4 is opened to cut off the electrical power of the controller. In this condition, the controlling switch cannot control the operation of each of the first solenoid valve 2 and the second solenoid valve 3 in the opened condition via the controller. As a result, the sewage within the siphon pool 102 and the sewer gas within the toilet bowl 1 cannot backflow to the water pipe 5 due to the siphon action, so as to prevent water pollution within the water pipe 5. Once supplying the water to the water pipe 5 again, the main signal terminal of the water pressure sensor 4 is closed again, such that the control system resumes back to its normal working condition.

(73) Alternatively, the main signal terminal of the pressure-controlled switch 4 is electrically linked to a control circuit in series connection, as shown in FIG. 26, wherein the control circuit is electrically linked between the controlling switch and the controller. When there is a water pressure in the water pipe 5, the main signal terminal of the pressure-controlled switch 4 is closed. In this condition, the controlling switch is arranged to control the operation of each of the first solenoid valve 2 and the second solenoid valve 3 via the controller for starting the flushing operation of the flushing system. When there is no water in the water pipe 5 to create a negative pressure therewithin, the main signal terminal of the pressure-controlled switch 4 is opened, so as to cut off the electrical connection between the controlling switch and the controller. So, the controller cannot send out any control signal to the controlling switch. In this condition, the controlling switch cannot control the operation of each of the first solenoid valve 2 and the second solenoid valve 3 in the opened condition via the controller. As a result, the sewage within the siphon pool 102 and the sewer gas within the toilet bowl 1 cannot backflow to the water pipe 5 due to the siphon action, so as to prevent water pollution within the water pipe 5. Once supplying the water to the water pipe 5 again, the main signal terminal of the water pressure sensor 4 is closed again, such that the control system resumes back to its normal working condition.

(74) Alternatively, the pressure-controlled switch 4 has a first main signal terminal and a second main signal terminal, as shown in FIG. 27. The first main signal terminal of the pressure-controlled switch 4 is electrically linked to a first control circuit in series connection, wherein the first control circuit is electrically linked between the first solenoid valve 2 and the controller. The second main signal terminal of the pressure-controlled switch 4 is electrically linked to a second control circuit in series connection, wherein the second control circuit is electrically linked between the second solenoid valve 3 and the controller. When there is a water pressure in the water pipe 5, the first and second main signal terminal of the pressure-controlled switch 4 are closed. In this condition, the controlling switch is arranged to control the operation of each of the first solenoid valve 2 and the second solenoid valve 3 via the controller for starting the flushing operation of the flushing system. When there is no water in the water pipe 5 to create a negative pressure therewithin, the first and second main signal terminals of the pressure-controlled switch 4 are opened, so as to cut off the electrical connection between the first solenoid valve 2 and the controller, and the electrical connection between the second solenoid valve 3 and the controller. So, the controller cannot send out any control signal to the first and second solenoid valves 2, 3. In this condition, the first and second solenoid valves 2, 3 cannot be moved to their opened conditions via the controller. As a result, the sewage within the siphon pool 102 and the sewer gas within the toilet bowl 1 cannot backflow to the water pipe 5 due to the siphon action, so as to prevent water pollution within the water pipe 5. Once supplying the water to the water pipe 5 again, the first and second main signal terminals of the water pressure sensor 4 are closed again, such that the control system resumes back to its normal working condition.
