Preface
Now we rarely see squatting, all we can see is the toilet, which provides greater convenience for people to go to the toilet, but there is a question that I believe can cause everyone to discuss, when flushing toilet water, will you press the two buttons behind the toilet, or will you only press one?
Another question is, why are the two buttons at the back of the toilet different sizes? I can tell you that many people do not use this toilet flush button now, and even many people use it in the wrong way.
Speaking of toilets, many people may think that discussing this issue is very boring, and they can't even put it on the table, but I believe that no one can deny the importance of the toilet, right? No one can leave its existence in daily life, as one of the "greatest inventions of mankind", its existence is very important.
Development of toilets
In fact, in the Han Dynasty, the toilet has already appeared, when the Han Dynasty pioneered the separation of the toilet from the latrine, easy to move or use when driving, in fact, there is a story in this.
Legend has it that when the flying general Li Guang was hunting, he shot a tiger with his own hands, and he was proud to order his subordinates to build a tiger-shaped drowning device, which was mainly used to make people urinate, which means contempt for the tiger, and later some people called this drowning device "Huzi".
However, the real toilet was invented in 1596, when the English aristocrat John Harrington invented the first toilet that could be used, and was equipped with a cistern and flush valve, and the sitting position was still wooden, and in the 18th century, the British inventor Joseph Bramley improved the design of the flush toilet, using the design of components such as a three-ball valve and a U-shaped elbow.
In 1861, Thomas Kleppa, a British plumber, updated the toilet bowl to a toilet with a state-of-the-art flushing system, officially opening the waste discharge so that the feces would no longer remain in place.
In this way, both China and the West have experience in making toilets, which means that the toilet is a product of "the combination of China and the West", but it is worth mentioning that the toilet used by the Chinese emperor back then was very advanced in terms of manufacturing materials, and ordinary civilians could not compare with each other, and ordinary people could only use wood.
Nowadays, the toilet is already a product that everyone can use, even if there are still many problems, but it does not affect our use, and now the types of toilets are becoming more and more, and they are becoming more and more intelligent, and even we don't need to press the button It can be automatically flushed, and even the butt can be flushed.
This is also in response to today's high demand for toilets, many people are now very picky about the choice of toilets, first of all, the first point is to look very good as a whole, and the second is that the function must be comprehensive enough, full intelligence is a must, if not, it is better not to install a toilet.
The reason for the design of the toilet button
However, in addition to smart toilets, in fact, many toilets still have button flushing, and each toilet has two flushing buttons, one large and one small two buttons, which make many people think that the small one is to flush the urine, and the big one is to flush the stool, is this really the case?
Some people think that this is actually deliberately designed by the designer, in order to look more beautiful, but is this really beautiful? So the design of the toilet button is not so simple, but has a great design reason.
In fact, the reason why the flush button is two, is designed to save water, first of all, these two things are called "big flush" and "small flush", as the name suggests, it is the above I mentioned, the big one is used to flush the stool, and the small one is to flush the urine, which makes many people not understand, obviously they are all flushing excrement, why is it so troublesome to design two?
In fact, the difference between the two is the water pressure, usually when we press the small button, there is no obvious sense of blockage, it is easy to press down, but if it is a big one, it may take a little force to press down, and there is still a lot of water out.
If you press the small button, only half of the water comes out of the toilet, and the speed and pressure of the water flow will be relatively small, but the water and water pressure flowing out of the big flush button are very impactful, because all the water in the internal storage tank of the toilet is discharged.
In this way, many people will think that there is a difference only in flushing, but in fact, the design of people want people to know that water conservation, if we use this button reasonably, we can save a lot of water bills over the year, I believe that you in daily life, never said that you have studied the button of toilet flushing, right?
There is a flushing method that is the most damaging to the toilet, that is, two pressed together, the small button is half a tank of water, and the big button is a box of water, which is not in line with the flushing law of the toilet bowl, which will lead to the upper limit of the load, and if it continues, it may lead to damage to the flush, and it can no longer be flushed, and even the toilet will be damaged.
Although the design of the button style may be a little different, but the overall use is almost the same, when we use the toilet at home, we must pay attention to not two buttons pressed together, otherwise it will affect the life of the toilet, and may even cause damage to the toilet.
Precautions for using the toilet
In fact, you also need to pay attention to a lot in the process of using the toilet, such as being sure to clean up in time after use, and never let the urine and urine remain in the toilet, if it continues to remain, it will cause a lot of stains and bacteria in the toilet, which will affect people's health.
It is also necessary to pay attention to the fact that many men may be asked by their girlfriends or wives to sit down and urinate, because men and women have different structures, and it is likely that men will splash urine around the toilet bowl when they urinate while standing, which will lead to the possibility of gynecological diseases in women.
Some men can't give up their male dignity and think that men should urinate standing up, but they need to lift the cushion on the toilet first, and then urinate, and they also need to wipe the surroundings with paper to prevent affecting their other half.
Generally, the toilet should be cleaned once in a while, it is best to clean it once to three times a week, and the toilet lid needs to be covered before cleaning, if the lid is opened and cleaned, it will cause the whirlwind inside to bring out the bacteria, which will pollute the environment of the house.
I believe there is another thing that everyone does not know, that is, do not put trash cans next to the toilet, many of our families must put the trash can next to the toilet, which is actually unhygienic, because the moisture in the toilet is more serious, and the paper used in the trash can is likely to breed bacteria because of moisture, which will have a certain impact on our body, so try not to place the trash can next to the toilet.
You also need to cover the toilet lid when flushing, a large number of bacteria will be produced in the cyclone, which often exist in the air for many hours, our toiletries are generally placed in the bathroom, such as towels, toothbrushing cups, etc., if these bacteria fall on, it is still relatively unhygienic, so remember to close the lid on the toilet.
Nowadays, with the progress of the times, many homes have used smart toilets, and they don't even need to flush themselves, but this kind of smart toilet is also relatively expensive in terms of price, so a large number of people are still using ordinary manual flushing toilets.
Since we use this kind of toilet, we can flush it according to the flushing method that conforms to the toilet, which can not only extend the life of the toilet, but also save water resources and save water bills for the family, which is a very good choice.
