Abstract

The flushing arrangement has a flush tank ( 28 ), from which an amount of flushing water can be supplied to the toilet bowl ( 6 ). Said amount of flushing water is divided into two part amounts for cleaning an upper region of the toilet bowl ( 6 ) and a further part amount for moving water that is present in the toilet bowl ( 6 ). A flushing eddy is generated with one of these two part amounts, said flushing eddy flowing along an inner surface ( 10 ) of the toilet bowl ( 6 ) and cleaning said toilet bowl at least in one upper region (A). There are preferably four part amounts provided which are in each case deliverable in a controlled manner by a valve ( 30, 31, 32, 80 ). The flushing arrangement makes a more thorough cleaning of the toilet bowl possible with comparatively little water.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A flushing arrangement for flushing a toilet bowl ( 6 ), said flushing arrangement having a flush tank ( 28 ), from which an amount of flushing water can be supplied to the toilet bowl ( 6 ), wherein said amount of flushing water is divided into a part amount for cleaning an upper region of the toilet bowl ( 6 ) and a part amount for moving water that is present in the toilet bowl ( 6 ), characterized in that the amount of flushing water is subdivided into a further part amount and in that with said further part amount, a flushing eddy is generated in the toilet bowl ( 6 ) during the flushing operation for cleaning said toilet bowl. 
     
     
         2 . The flushing arrangement according to  claim 1 , characterized in that at least one upper region (A) of the inner surface of the toilet bowl ( 6 ) is flushable and can be cleaned with a first part amount and a central region (B) of the inner surface of the toilet bowl ( 6 ) is flushable and can be cleaned with a second part amount and a siphon ( 12 ) of the toilet bowl ( 6 ) is flushable and can be cleaned with a third part amount and in that the further part amount is a fourth part amount. 
     
     
         3 . The flushing arrangement according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the second part amount is deliverable to the toilet bowl ( 6 ) at a higher pressure than the first part amount and the third part amount is deliverable to the toilet bowl ( 6 ) at a higher pressure than the second part amount. 
     
     
         4 . The flushing arrangement according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the first part amount is deliverable into the toilet bowl ( 6 ) during a flushing operation on account of the force of gravity or of a difference in height. 
     
     
         5 . The flushing arrangement according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the volume of the second part amount is greater than the volume of the first part amount and the volume of the third part amount is greater than the volume of the second part amount. 
     
     
         6 . The flushing arrangement according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the first part amount is delivered at a pressure less than 0.3 bar, preferably equal to or less than 0.2 bar and even more preferred equal to or less than 0.1 bar. 
     
     
         7 . The flushing arrangement according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the second part amount is delivered at a pressure between 0.1 and 0.6 bar, preferably at a pressure between 0.2 and 0.4 bar. 
     
     
         8 . The flushing arrangement according to  claim 1 , characterized in that for dividing the amount of flushing water there is provided a distributing arrangement ( 30 ), which includes a junction ( 47 ) at which the amount of flushing water is divided, wherein the first part amount of water is supplied to a first valve ( 31 ), the second part amount of water is supplied to a second valve ( 32 ), the third part amount of water is supplied to a third valve ( 33 ) and the further part amount of water is supplied to a fourth valve ( 80 ). 
     
     
         9 . A water closet having a flushing arrangement according to  claim 1  and a toilet bowl ( 6 ), characterized in that the toilet bowl ( 6 ) has an inlet ( 81 ) for the further part amount and said inlet is arranged below an upper flushing ring ( 16 ). 
     
     
         10 . The water closet according to  claim 9 , characterized in that the toilet bowl ( 6 ) has an outlet opening for the further part amount, said outlet opening being arranged below the upper flushing ring ( 16 ). 
     
     
         11 . A toilet bowl for a water closet, said toilet bowl having means ( 25 ) for the connection of a flushing arrangement ( 2 ) and an edge ( 8 ) that forms an opening ( 7 ), an inner surface ( 10 ) that tapers downward and a siphon ( 12 ) with an outlet opening ( 14 ), characterized in that for a flushing operation said toilet bowl has at least four outlets ( 64 ,  17 ,  20 ), wherein a first outlet ( 64 ) is provided for cleaning at least one first upper region (A), a second outlet ( 17 ) is provided for cleaning a central region (B), a third outlet ( 20 ) is provided for flushing and cleaning the siphon ( 12 ) and a fourth outlet is provided for generating a flushing eddy. 
     
     
         12 . The toilet bowl according to  claim 11 , characterized in that the fourth outlet is arranged below an upper flushing ring ( 16 ).
