BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1.Field of the Invention
[0001] The present invention relates to an automatic quantitative regulator for dissolvent
in water tank, more particularly to a structure that can make use of the buoyancy
and the discharge status of water in the water tank directly to regulate naturally
the release of the dissolvent in predetermined quantity.
2.Description of the Prior Art
[0002] The toilet dissolvent long time ago is a dissoluble block sunken into the toilet
tank and dissolved naturally. But, since the frequency of using the water tank is
variable, it will be caused that the concentration maybe too high or too low. Then,
the use status is not uniform to be waste or insufficient. Therefore, all kinds of
structure are provided to solve the supply problem of the dissolvent. The conventional
structure relates that a dissoluble block or a side of the deposited box of dissolvent
block is hung on and fixed at the top edge of the water tank wall with a hook. Then,
a release pipe is extended below the bottom of the tank, and a spiral rod inserts
through the release pipe. The top and bottom ends of the spiral rod have a bolt circle
individually. The top end of the spiral rod connects with a sphere and the bottom
end of the spiral rod connects with a float ball. Then, the dissolvent will be release
when the spiral rod is moved up and down, wherein the spiral rod is of cross-shape.
Someone improves the spiral rod to form a bolt, and a spiral coat connects with the
release pipe, then, the bolt part is moved in the spiral coat to release the dissolvent.
Moreover, someone improves the style of the hook and the form of the deposited box,
or improves the bottom end of the bolt to be of awl-shape. Furthermore, someone improves
the bolt of the spiral rod to be two layers or have the upper replenishing box. Even
though there have been many forms which have the advantages and disadvantages respectively,
it is unable to solve all control problem since there is a certain region to supply
the dissolvent. This has been the standard structure. As there is some water in the
water tank, it will be supplied continuously until the water is full. But the position
must be above the water. If the position is in the water, it will be supplied continuously.
For obviating the aforementioned problem and conforming to the practical requirements,
the invention proceeds to research and develop.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0003] The primary object of the present invention is to provide an automatic quantitative
regulator for dissolvent in water tank, particularly to use a device to accomplish
the function for connecting the components in series. The junction of the upper float
ball combines with the junction of the bottom float ball, and the two junctions are
joined together with an inner bulgy circle of the fixing coat. The inner side of the
fixing coat is also wedged to the mouth of the jar. The wedge motion is accomplished
with a form of flat thread. The wedge motion of the two components is rapid and accurate,
and the overall composition is simpler. The component number is also decreased. Thus,
the release structure is simpler and more convenient than the conventional one.
[0004] Another object of the present invention is to provide an automatic quantitative regulator
for dissolvent in water tank, particularly to use the jar itself to accomplish the
fixing function. As the equipment in the water tank is different, the present invention
uses a hook to fix the jar. Then, the present invention can be a sink-water device.
[0005] The yet another object of the present invention is to provide an automatic quantitative
regulator for dissolvent in water tank, particularly to the part of the jar can be
exposed out of the water to provide an outer replenishing bottle. The jars more than
one can be replenished to be suitable for the use in the public occasion.
[0006] The further object of the present invention is to provide an automatic quantitative
regulator for dissolvent in water tank, more particularly, the connection part between
the upper and bottom float balls can be adjusted the clearance for conforming to the
requirement of various water tank capacities. Thus, the non-section adjustment can
be accomplished with using the joint in a form of flat thread or spiral thread.
[0007] The structure of the present invention: an inverted jar is clamped on the standing
rod in the water tank. An upper float ball is set in the jar mouth shrunk at the bottom,
and a bottom float ball is set outside of the jar mouth. Two float balls are joined
together by an inner bulgy circle of the fixing coat, and the fixing coat connects
with the jar mouth. The two float balls with opposite awl-shape necks are wedged to
the aperture formed by inner bulgy circle. The two float balls can be adjusted clearance.
When the upper float ball is moved up, the liquid in the jar will flow out gradually.
As the upper float ball is moved down, the aperture will be closed. A heavy article
is connected with the bottom float ball to accelerate pulling down. Furthermore, a
fixed position cup is hooked on the jar, and the bottom of the fixed position cup
has a perforated colander.
[0008] In order that the present invention may be understood more readily, the following
description is given, merely be the way of example, reference being made to the accompanying
drawings, wherein:

Detailed description of the preferred embodiment
[0010] Fig.1 to Fig.10 show the first preferred embodiment of the present invention. The
regulator mainly comprises an inverted jar 10 clamped on a standing rod 2 of the water
tank 1 and having a jar mouth 11 at bottom. An upper float ball 13 is set in the jar
mouth 11 shrunk at the bottom and a bottom float ball 16 is set outside of the jar
mouth 11. Two float balls are joined together by an inner bulgy circle 21 of the fixing
coat 20. The neck 14 of the upper float ball 13 has at least one turn of male screw
(flat thread) 15 to hook at least one turn of female screw (flat thread) 18, which
is at the opposite position of the concave 161 of the bottom float ball 16. The neck
17 of the bottom float ball 16 has an outer bulgy circle 19 at least to connect with
the inner bulgy circle 21 of the fixed coat 20. Furthermore, the flat thread 22 of
the inner bulgy circle 21 of the fixed coat 20 is wedged to the bulgy flat thread
12 outside the jar mouth 11. The two float balls 13, 16 with opposite awl-shape necks
14, 17 are wedged to the aperture 23 formed by inner bulgy circle. When the upper
float ball 13 is moved up, the liquid 3 in the jar 10 will flow out from the aperture
23 gradually. The upper float ball 13 is moved down, the aperture 23 will be closed.
A heavy article 24 is connected below the bottom float ball 16 to accelerate pulling
down. Furthermore, the connecting part 26 at the top of a fixed position cup 25 hooks
a plurality of equal-space bulgy scales 9, 9' on the side of the jar 10. The bottom
of the fixed cup 25 has a perforated colander 27 to limit the moving space and swaying
range of the bottom float ball 16. Each side of the fixed cup 25 has an aperture individually
to arrange in pairs with the ditch 6 of the jar 10. Then, the standing rod 2 passes
through the ditch 6 to fix it. The bottom part of the fixed cup is of awl-shape and
shrink. Therefore, it is not need to have a breaking ditch. Then, the perforated colander
27 of the fixed cup 25 can be a cross-shape of upward bulgy form or flat form, and
the former is better.
[0011] The top of the jar 10 forms a replenishing aperture 8. The replenishing aperture
8 is sealed with the cover 7. The appearance of the jar 10 has a vertical ditch 6
at least, and the ditch 6 of the jar 10 joins up the standing rod 2 of the water tank
1. Or the ditches 6 on the sides of the jar join up a pair of standing rods 2 of the
water tank 1. If there is only a standing rod 2 in the water tank 1, the jar 10 is
fixed by a two-end hook 5 at least. An end of the hook 5 joins up the standing rod
of the water tank, and the other end joins up the opposite ditch 6 of the jar 10.
Then, there is a replenishing box 4 outside the water tank to replenish the dissolvent
into the jar 10 by a supply pipe 3. Even, more than one of the jars 10 can be replenished
in the water tank at the same time. Most of families need only use a can form, and
replace a new one when run out of it. In the public occasion, the replenishing form
is suitable.
[0012] In the structure of the aforementioned first embodiment, the present invention uses
very simple component structures to be composed, more particularly, the connection
between the upper and bottom float balls forms a style like a valve. The flow of the
dissolvent liquid is under control of the water in the water tank completely. When
the water is discharged completely, the pair formed by the bottom float ball and the
upper float ball move down rapidly because of the heavy article and the suction of
discharging water. Then, the upper float ball closes the aperture, the dissolvent
is not released. When the water comes in gradually, the pair of float ball will be
pushed up and the aperture appears. Then, the little dissolvent will be released.
As the water is full, the float ball pair will be pushed up completely and the bottom
float ball closes the aperture. When the jar of the present invention is composed,
a fixed position cup is set to prevent the fault operation. The fixed position cup
is on the upper scale 9 to press and then close the aperture completely. For installing
and using, the fixed position cup is removed to the bottom scale 9'. The upward bulgy
part at the bottom of the fixed position cup can prevent the shifting of the float
ball pair too large, and then form a cover structure for closing the aperture of the
unused jar. It is different from the conventional closed type cover. Furthermore,
the present invention can be a closed type to set in water or an opened type to set
above water. The connection form using import-pipe or export-pipe, the joint by the
jar of self, and the aiding hook are all new designs which are different from the
prior art. It is provided to better utility value, and the present invention is a
different structure from the prior art.
[0013] Furthermore, referring the another embodiment shown as Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 relates
to the second embodiment according to the present invention. There are some differences
from the first embodiment. On the top end of the ditch 6 beside the hook 5 on the
top of the jar 10, there is a small lid 51 to hook the top end of the standing rod
2. A bulgy point 52 is used to fix on the standing rod 2. The connection part between
the upper and bottom float balls 13,16 can be adjusted the clearance for conforming
to the requirement of various water tank capacities. Thus, some opposite flat threads
or spiral threads will be provided to accomplish the adjustment function. Then, the
big windows 251 and the small windows 252 on the fixed position cup 25 can accomplish
the function releasing the dissolvent rapidly. It does not need to arrange in pair
with the heavy article 24. Only the material and the shape of the bottom float ball
16 itself can replace the heavy article with iron slice. Referring to Fig. 10, there
are not any lines between the upper and bottom float balls, and only the closed connection
at the plane of the neck to accomplish the non-sectional adjustment function.
