Abstract

See full text

An air suction device for a toilet drain passage includes a suction tank partitioned by a diaphragm into an upper chamber and a lower chamber communicating with the passage, and an electromagnetic drive device moving the diaphragm upward. The drive device has a cylindrical case body installed away from the tank, a moving member housed in the case body so as to be vertically movable, and a moving device located on a lower end of the case body. The moving device has a casing and an actuator assembled in the casing to move the moving member. The case body has a first airtight chamber surrounded by the moving member and the moving device. The first airtight chamber has a cubic capacity changed by movement of the moving member and communicates with the first chamber. The first airtight chamber sucks air in the first chamber to move the diaphragm upward.
