Jin nine Gao draw a schematic diagram to explain the principle of the toilet water.
water saving device of toilet can achieve the effect of water saving by controlling the opening angle of the tank plug. "
" the toilet tank does not make any changes. It only takes a few minutes to install this' water-saving device 'in the water tank, and an ordinary toilet can become a water-saving toilet. " In the afternoon of May 26th, at the water saving studio in the flower house, Jin nine Gao held a toilet tank model with a homemade toilet water saving device in the first hand.
water saving device is milky white. It is composed of two semicircular plastic and one screw. The two semicircle is put together on the vertical rod of the water outlet of the toilet. The opening angle of the outlet plug can be controlled so as to achieve the effect of water saving.
Jin Jin Gao estimated that the water consumption of ordinary toilets would be reduced to 1/6 before modification. Today, the invention of Kim Gao Gao has benefited tens of thousands of families in more than 20 communities.
invented
at the age of 73 years old this year, Kim nine Gao was a young man in the army to do scientific research, then transferred to the Beijing Lun Hotel as an engineer. Lao Jin said that in the 80s of last century, the toilet used in the hotel was imported from the United States, and the water tank was about 24. 5 litres, which was very expensive. Since then, Lao Jin has studied the structure of toilets, and proposed improvements to save water in restaurants. In
2001, the old Jin family moved into their new home. He found that the toilets in the household were very expensive. The toilet was washed away and the water was still running. Everyone else in the same community is wasting water, but no one knows how to solve it.
enthusiastic old Jin took the job. After returning home, he consulted a lot of data, and then went to the building materials market to observe objects, and investigated the types and structural differences of toilets.
, then he spent four thousand or five thousand yuan on several different structures and types of water tanks and accessories, and began experiments at home. In order to simulate the actual situation, he put the toilet on the scaffold, with soy sauce and other dark liquid, with paper balls, cucumber segments and other solids to simulate the impact of different contaminants.
after hundreds of attempts, old gold found that the control of the water tank outlet plug angle, can be based on the amount of dirt to control the amount of water in the toilet, to achieve the purpose of saving water. And all this can be done with a plastic rope.
Lao Jin said that a plastic rope was tied to the side of the shaft end of the floating ball of the toilet tank, and the angle raised from the plug was reduced from 80 degrees to 45 degrees, so that the closing time of the plug and the flush of the toilet could be controlled freely. The smaller the angle of the plug, the less water it enters into the toilet.
then, Lao Jin experimentation in a few hot residents in the community, although the toilet model is different, but the plastic rope is added to the toilet tank, which can save water.
popularized
the "little inventions" of
old gold.
"his inventions were particularly popular. We could not think of a way to put water into a toilet tank in a coke bottle. It was hard and bad, and his invention was creative, no money, and house to door service, especially good." Wang Weigui, the resident, said.
in order to make more residents benefit, at the end of 2004, Lao Jin took the initiative to find a neighborhood committee, hoping to be promoted by the neighborhood committee.
"I told them I had a way to save water. They thought I might be a liar." Lao Jin recalls that at first, the staff members of the neighborhood committee thought he was a swindler on the sale of the door. He did not believe him too much. He told his design principle and drew a picture on the board's blackboard, which made the staff feel a little reliable.
which home have you changed? After the staff asked, Lao Jin took several staff to the home of the residents he helped to reload. After seeing the effect, the neighborhood committee believed the old gold and began to promote his invention in the community. When
is converted to toilet, Lao Jin needs two legs across the toilet seat and two arms in the toilet water tank. Many residents' toilets have been used for many years, and there are silt in the water tank. Old gold is often black after the installation. Afraid of dirty household towels, Lao Jin wore a small towel to wipe his hands.
one time, a toilet tank in a residential house put blue detergent in the water tank, and the old gold hand was soaked in the water, causing a lot of blister. He could stay at home for a few days, and after a little better, he continued to refill the residents.
inheritance
set up studio volunteers to join
in the process of refitting the toilet for residents. Old gold found that the plastic rope can not be completely applicable to all types of toilet, and the plastic rope will be loose for a long time and can not reach the original water saving effect. So, he bought more than a dozen parts, made his own mold and developed a "long Festival" toilet water saving device in 2006, which can be applied to all non water-saving toilets. Lao Jin applied for a patent for it and continued to install it for community residents free of charge.
in order to make the water-saving device popularized in old and old communities, let more people join the water saving team. In 2007, with the help of the Wangjing street, Lao Jin set up a water saving studio in the community, and dozens of volunteers joined. Lao Jin and them serve the community and the surrounding residents together.
it is estimated that there are about 2000 residents in the community, of which more than 600 of the old non water-saving toilets, Kim nine Gao and the volunteers were all modified for their toilets. The water consumption of ordinary toilets is reduced to 1/6 of that before modification, and a household of three families can save more than 70 tons of water every year. From 2005 to now, the average water saving per household is more than 400 tons, and the total water saving in the district is nearly 300 thousand tons.
Jin Gao Gao's behavior also affects his family. Lao Jin's little grandson, Jin Mengyang, is 14 years old. He also grasped the water saving skills through his grandfather's words and deeds. In 2012, Jin Mengyang's "Research on the reuse of water purifier waste water" won the two prize of Chaoyang District small Jinpeng science and Technology Forum. Now, the water and washing water of the dishes in Jin nine Gao are accumulated through a small set of collectors, and the toilet has been washed without running water.
Lao Jin said that once he wanted to buy off his invention, he refused. He said, "my water saving technology is only a public welfare undertaking."
Community:
2001 in Xili District of flower home, Jin nine Gao, who moved to a new home, found that the closestool in the community was a lot of water, often the toilet had been washed away, and the water was still "waging". Lao Jin, who once worked as an engineer, bought toilet fittings at his own expense and experimentation repeatedly at home, and developed a water-saving device for all non water saving toilets. Jin nine Gao also set up a water saving studio in the community. He and the volunteers were responsible for reloading the toilet for more than 600 residents in the community. From 2005 to now, 400 tons of water have been saved, nearly 300 thousand tons of water saving and more than 20 thousand tons of carbon reduction have been saved in the community.
water is not disputing all things, water is not shameful; water wears stone and gold, learning water is virtue; life comes from water, history rises and falls, water saves water, and water is the life of friends. - Jin Jiugao
