Description

Waste water removal system

Technical Field

The utility model relates to the field of wastewater discharge, in particular to a wastewater removal system.

Background

Waste water removal systems are commonly used where gravity drainage is not possible, for example when a toilet is located below a waste collection line. Such waste removal systems typically include a pump that can move the waste water and sewage over the toilet location so that the waste water or sewage can be properly collected and disposed of.

Wastewater removal systems are typically made of plastic. Due to the nature of their installation, these systems can become slippery. Improvements are needed to make it easier to handle the system during installation and maintenance. In addition, internal components within the system may become wet, making its operation challenging. There is also a need for improved designs for internal stents for use in systems.

Detailed Description

Figure 1 shows an exploded view of a wastewater removal system. The system 1 comprises an outlet tube assembly 2, the outlet tube assembly 2 being connected to a removable cover plate 4 by a one-way valve assembly 3. The removable cover 4 may be formed of multiple parts that combine to form the entire cover of the system 1. In use, the cutter 9 and pump 10 are disposed within the water tank 12. Waste water from the toilet is collected in the tank by the adapter 14. The waste water flows into a tank 12 where it flows through the cutter 9 and is then pumped by a pump 10 to a pipe to transport the waste water out of the home. It will now be apparent to those skilled in the art that although a cutter is described above, other types of mechanisms may be used, including grinders, macerators, or other mechanisms that can reduce the size of solids in the wastewater to increase outflow and facilitate pumping of the abatement system. It will also be apparent to those skilled in the art that some triggering mechanism is required to activate the pump 10, such as the buoy system 15, which includes a switch that triggers the flow of current to the pump 10 and cutter. The sidewall connector 13 is an exploded view of an exemplary connector that allows additional waste water to be piped to the system 1. It will now be apparent to those skilled in the art that the connector 13 may be any connection capable of providing a sealable connection that allows one or more pipes to be connected into the system 1, and that the connector 13 may include elements such as locking rings, seals, and other elements required to maintain the integrity of the wastewater flowing into the system.

Figure 2 shows the assembled wastewater removal system. The removable cover 4 is formed of one or more parts which when combined form the complete removable cover 4. The outermost portion of the cover plate defines a plane, the first surface 201. There is also a first sidewall 203, the first sidewall 203 having the adapter 14 formed thereon. The outermost portion of the first sidewall 203 defines a plane, which is the second surface 205. A second sidewall 207 is present and defines a plane from the outermost portion of the second sidewall, which is a third surface 209. There is also a third sidewall 211 and a plane is defined from the outermost part of the third sidewall, which is the fourth surface 213. There is also a fourth sidewall 215 and from the outermost part of the fourth sidewall 213 is a plane defining a fifth surface 217. A fifth sidewall 219 is provided and a plane, which is a sixth surface 221, is defined from an outermost portion of the fifth sidewall 219. As can be seen from fig. 2, the second surface 205 is opposite the fifth surface 217, the third surface 209 is opposite the fourth surface 213, and the first surface 201 is opposite the sixth surface 221. Further, the first surface 201, the second surface 205, the third surface 209, the fourth surface 213, the fifth surface 217, and the sixth surface 221 define the shape of the container. The handle 223 is provided as an insert in the second and

third side walls

207, 211. As used herein, an insert is defined as a portion of the sidewall that is offset from the outermost portion of the sidewall. The handle 223 is provided to provide a worker with a larger gripping area to make installation easier, and to make it easier to handle the waste water disposal system if the exterior of the waste water disposal system becomes slippery.

Fig. 2 also includes an axis defined between the surfaces. Specifically, the outermost portions of first surface 201 and sixth surface 221 define a first axis 225 in the first axial direction, second surface 205 and fifth surface 217 define a second axis 227 in the second axial direction, and third surface 209 and fourth surface 213 define a third axis 229 in the third axial direction. Note that even if the detachable cover plate 4 or any of the first to fifth side walls (

side walls

203, 207, 211, 215 and 219, respectively) is curved instead of flat, the use of the outermost part of the surface allows to define an axis.

Axes

225, 227, and 229 also allow length 231, width 233, and depth 235, respectively, to be attributed to the dimensions of handle 223. Those skilled in the art will now also appreciate that any dimensions attributed to the handle are approximate dimensions.

Fig. 3 provides an illustration of a handle 301 having a wave-shaped design. In a similar manner to handle 301, length 231 may be measured as shown in FIG. 3. Specifically, by drawing a line along the uppermost portion of the handle 301, the length between the line 303 and the fifth side wall 219 of the effluent removal system 1 may be measured. The dimensions of the handle may be less than about 280mm in length, less than about 180mm in width, and less than about 60mm in depth. In another embodiment, the length may be between about 180mm and 140mm, the width may be between about 110mm and 70mm, and the depth may be between about 60mm and 20 mm. In another embodiment, the length is about 160mm, the width is about 91mm, and the depth is about 40 mm. Returning to fig. 2, it is now also apparent to those skilled in the art that the removable cover 4 may have dimensions of approximately 490mm to 530mm by 160mm to 200mm in a single planar dimension and the fifth side wall 219 may be 490mm to 530mm by 130mm to 170mm in a single planar dimension.

Fig. 4A and 4B illustrate an alternative embodiment of a handle of the system without the removable cover. In fig. 4A, instead of embedding the handle, a ledge 401 is formed. In this embodiment, the relevant dimensions of the ledge are shown as length 231, width 233 and depth 235. In fig. 4B, the shape 403 is molded to have sidewalls that are sized to have a length 231, a width 233, and a depth 23 as shown in the present embodiment. While a rectangular shape is shown in fig. 4B, it will now be apparent to those skilled in the art that any of a number of shapes may be used, so long as they provide additional gripping options for the installer of the system.

Fig. 5A and 5B provide additional detail regarding the portions that make up the removable cover. The

panels

501 and 503 are detachable parts of the detachable cover plate 4. The faceplate 501 is part of a removable cover 4 that, when secured, covers the components including the bracket 505, the seal 507, and the electronics control box 509. The panel 501 includes an eighth surface 511 and the bracket 505 has a seventh surface 513. When the panel 501 engages and covers the electronic control box 509, at least portions of the eighth surface 511 and the seventh surface 513 face each other. A seal 507 is provided between the electronic control box 509 and the panel 501. The seal 507 may be held in place by a bracket 505. The surface area of eighth surface 511 is defined by an axis illustrated as length 515 and width 517. The surface area of the seventh surface 513 is defined by an axis illustrated as width 519 and length 521. In at least one embodiment, the eighth surface 511 has a first surface area and is about 1-20% greater than a second surface area defined by the seventh surface 513 of the stent.

Fig. 6A and 6B show additional details of the bracket 505. As shown in fig. 6B, the bracket 505 includes a first opening 601 and a second opening 603. In at least one embodiment, the first opening has a first outer dimension and the second opening has a second outer dimension, the first outer dimension and the second outer dimension each being defined as having a length and a width in a plane parallel to the seventh surface. In this embodiment, the second outer dimension is about 2-4 times the size of the first outer dimension. For the stand 505, the relative sizes of the openings allow for easier handling of the stand, as the thumb can be inserted into the first opening 601 and the 2-4 th finger can be inserted into the second opening 603. As shown in fig. 5A, a seal 507 may be provided in contact with the support 505 to provide a water-tight seal to protect the electronic control box 509.

Fig. 7 shows another embodiment. In fig. 7, a wastewater removal system 701 is shown with a removable cover plate 703 and five side walls 705. A handle 707 is formed in at least one sidewall 709. The handle 707 has an opening 708 in a sidewall 709. The length 711 and width 713 are the dimensions of the sidewall 709. The handle opening 708 also has dimensions length 715 and width 717. The two-dimensional dimensions of the sidewall 709 and the handle opening 708 formed in the sidewall 709 can be calculated using these dimensions. In at least one embodiment, the two-dimensional dimension of the handle opening 708 is approximately 25-45% of the overall two-dimensional dimension of the sidewall 709 forming the handle. In another embodiment, the two-dimensional dimension of the opening 708 is less than 35% of the overall two-dimensional dimension of the sidewall 709. In yet another embodiment, the two-dimensional dimension of the opening 708 is less than 30% of the two-dimensional dimension of the entire sidewall. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that in the case of curved surfaces, approximate dimensions may be required to calculate the two-dimensional dimensions of the side walls and openings. It will also now be apparent to those skilled in the art that any two-dimensional shape can be used to calculate the two-dimensional size of the handle opening. For example, if the handle opening is circular, calculating the two-dimensional size of the handle opening may be calculated by the radius or diameter of the opening. Other opening shapes may similarly be calculated with the relevant dimensions.

Figure 8 shows the intended use of the utility model.

Fig. 9 shows an exemplary installation of a wastewater removal system. The waste water removal system 1 is shown connected to a toilet 901 via an adapter 14 to receive waste from the toilet 901. Other waste water may also be collected in the system 1 via the pipe 903, the pipe 903 being connected to the system 1 via the connector 13. For example, waste water from tank 905 may be connected to system 1 via conduit 903. The water tank 905 is exemplary only and it will now be apparent to those skilled in the art that waste water may be directed to the system 1 from other bathroom fixtures, such as showers or bathtubs, and washing machines. Any waste water that accumulates in the system 1 is eventually drawn out of the system through the outlet pipe assembly 2, the outlet pipe assembly 2 being connected to a drain that removes the waste water from the structure. As an example, the module 2 may be connected to a pipe that is eventually connected to a sewage treatment system.

While several forms of the utility model have been illustrated in the drawings and described in the application, it is not intended to limit the utility model to the specific forms or to limit the utility model in any other way than by the prior art, since it is fully recognized that other constructions which would employ the same principles and which are within the scope of the appended claims may be employed.
