Other embodiments that fall within the scope of the inventive concept may be readily proposed, but they will also be included within the scope of the inventive concept.

In addition, components with the same functions within the scope of the same idea shown in the drawings of the embodiments will be described using the same reference numerals.

1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a bidet water storage device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 (a) and (b) is a bidet water storage device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention This is a conceptual diagram to explain the principle of).

Referring to FIG. 1, a bidet water storage device according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a main body 110, an opening and closing device 120, a flow path connecting port 130, and a fixing bracket 140.

The main body 110 may include a space 111 capable of storing water therein. In addition, it may be provided with an opening 112 to communicate the space 111 and the outside (A). Here, the opening 112 may be provided on the bottom surface of the main body 110.

The opening and closing device 120 may be installed in the main body 110 to open or close the opening 112. In other words, the opening and closing device 120 may open the opening 112 so that water is introduced from the outside, and close the opening 112 so that water stored in the space 111 does not flow out. Can be.

To this end, the opening and closing device, one end is hinged to the main body 110, by rotating toward the space 111 can open the opening 112.

In addition, the opening and closing device, the angle (θ) between the fully open state and the closed state may be less than 90 degrees.

When the water pressure in the space 111 is lower than the water pressure of the outside A, the opening and closing device 120 rotates toward the space 111 to open the opening 112. Water of A) may be introduced into the space 111. (See FIG. 2A)

In addition, when the water pressure in the space 111 is the same as the water pressure of the outside (A) or higher than the water pressure of the outside (A), the opening and closing device 120 in the opposite direction due to the weight of the switchgear 120 It can rotate to close the opening 112. Through this, the water stored in the space 111 may be prevented from leaking to the outside (A). (See Figure 2 (b))

At this time, the locking unit 121 may be provided so that the opening and closing device 120 is not completely rotated to the outside of the main body in a completely closed state.

The flow path connecting port 130 may be formed in the main body and may be connected to one end of the water supply flow path 11 to supply water stored in the space 111 to the bidet.

On the other hand, the fixing bracket 140 may fix the main body 110 inside the storage tank (T) of the toilet. That is, after fixing the fixing bracket 140 in the storage tank T of the toilet, the main body 110 may be connected to the fixing bracket 140.

At this time, the main body 110 may adjust the position coupled to the fixing bracket 140 up and down. Through this, it is possible to flexibly cope with the diversity of the installation environment.

Hereinafter, an operation of the bidet water storage device 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2A and 2B.

First, referring to FIG. 2 (a), as water is supplied into the storage tank T of the toilet, the opening and closing device 120 is rotated and opened toward the space 111 to thereby open the outside ( Water of A) may flow into the space 111.

In addition, according to the use of the bidet, the water stored in the space 111 is supplied to the bidet, so that the water pressure of the space 111 is lower than the water pressure of the outside (A), the switchgear ( 120 may be opened to allow water to flow into the space 111. That is, water may be continuously replenished in the space 111 so that water is continuously supplied to the bidet.

On the other hand, when the water inside the water storage tank T of the toilet is discharged by the flushing operation of the toilet, the water pressure inside the space 111 is higher than the water pressure of the outside (A), by the weight of the opening and closing device ( Since 120 is closed, the water stored in the space 111 does not flow to the outside (see FIG. 2B). Therefore, even at this time, it is possible to continuously supply water to the bidet.

Thereafter, when water flows into the water storage tank T of the toilet and the water pressure of the outside A is higher than the water pressure of the space 111, the opening and closing device 120 is opened, and the water is again returned to the space. It flows into the unit 111. (See FIG. 2A)

Hereinafter, a bidet water storage device 200 according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the same components as those described above are shown in the drawings using the reference numerals used above, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.
