Abstract

Abstract. “Ecological bathroom”. The present utility model refers to an environmentally friendly bathroom where water used in sinks, showers and baths can be reused for flushing the toilet. With the need to reduce water use as well as the rising cost of water, various measures and devices have been created to reduce water use. The purpose of the bathroom is to provide a reservoir for gravity receiving the water used in the sink, shower and bathtub if any. Another objective is to provide a single pump that can be equipped with a water level sensor to enable its activation, as well as can be activated by a switch provided in the coupling box filling mechanism or coupling box cover.

Description

“ECOLOGICAL BATHROOM”.

[01] This utility model refers to an environmentally friendly bathroom where water used in sinks, showers and baths can be reused for flushing the toilet.

[02] With the need to reduce water use, as well as the rising cost of water, various measures and devices have been created to reduce water use.

[03] Document BR 10 2012 001439 4 concerning an automatic sink, shower and other water reuse system is known, where at least two pumps and several sensors control the transfer of the water used to a reservoir and from it to the box. attached to the toilet.

[04] This equipment has great technical complexity which implies installation and maintenance costs.

[05] The purpose of the bathroom is to provide a reservoir for gravity receiving water used in the sink, shower and bathtub if any.

[06] Another objective is to provide a single pump that can be fitted with a water level sensor to enable its activation, as well as can be actuated by a switch provided on the coupling box filling mechanism or coupling box cover.

[07] The attached drawing shows a schematic perspective view of the ecological toilet.

[08] According to the attached illustration and its details the ecological toilet is provided with a reservoir (1) preferably arranged under the shower (2) and can be arranged under or above the floor, according to local conditions, receiving the tank by pipes coming from the water outlet of the sink (3), any tub (4) and shower (2) when it is not on the tank.

[09] The reservoir internally has a pump (5) which can be operated manually by a switch or by a switch disposed in the coupled housing (6) of the toilet (7), while said pump (5) has a level sensor. so that its operation occurs only when there is water in the reservoir (1), avoiding its operation under no load.

[10] The reservoir (1) has an outlet at its highest region, which acts as a thief (8) so that excess water is discharged into the toilet outlet pipe.

[11] In the event of a lack of water in the reservoir (1) the coupled housing (6) can be supplemented by water coming from the usual network by opening a register.

[12] As explained and proposed by this utility model, a large amount of water used for toilet flushing can be saved.

Claims (4)

1st “ECOLOGICAL BATHROOM” characterized by the fact that it consists of a reservoir (1) arranged under or above the floor, receiving the reservoir by pipes (3) from the shower water outlet (2), sink (4), bathtub (5). 2nd "ECOLOGICAL BATHROOM" according to the first claim characterized in that it is constituted by a reservoir (1) being arranged under the shower (2). Ecological bathroom according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the reservoir has an internal pump (6) which can be manually operated by a switch or by a switch arranged in the coupled housing (7) of the toilet (8), whereas Said pump (6) has a water level sensor so that its operation occurs only when there is water in the reservoir (1), preventing its operation under no load. 4a "ECOLOGICAL BATHROOM" according to the preceding claims characterized in that the reservoir (1) has an outlet in its highest region, which acts as a thief (9).
