Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sanitary block of the type comprising a receptacle mounted movable between a first position of use and a second cleaning position, the receptacle being associated with a tilting mounted chassis which is itself connected to displacement means controlled by programming means associated with a trigger member which causes the start of a cleaning cycle.
  • French patent application 2 415 173 describes a sanitary block comprising a receptacle mounted movable between a first position of use and a second cleaning position, cleaning members used when the receptacle is in its second position, a conduit for evacuation of waste water and excrement, means for controlling the movement of the receptacle, means for actuating the cleaning members and programming means for coordinating the actions of said control means and said actuation means during each operating cycle of the sanitary block, these programming means being associated with a trigger member which causes the start of a cleaning cycle.
  • the receptacle consists of a toilet bowl and a separate file, each of the two parts being mounted angularly movable on an axis of rotation and being associated with control means for passing from a position of use to a retracted cleaning position, the rotation of the bowl and the backrest being in the opposite direction.
  • the certificate of addition 2,471,453 to the aforementioned patent application refers to the fact that the programming means comprise a set of detection members intended to respectively generate signals representing each a given situation of said sanitary block or a given state of said control and actuation means, a set of memory devices connected to memorize respectively said signals during a given period of said operating cycle and relay means connected to said memory means to cause the excitation of said control means and actuation according to the selective excitation of said storage means.
  • the toilet bowl had hitherto been integral with the chassis connected to the tilting control means intended to bring the bowl, during the cleaning cycle, from its use position to its cleaning position, the tilting cycle being controlled by the programming means and in particular by one or more detectors starting the cleaning cycle only when the user has left the sanitary enclosure and the access door has closed.
  • the present invention aims to eliminate this risk of incident in order to further improve the safety of use of this type of sanitary installation with automatic maintenance.
  • the receptacle is mounted angularly movable relative to the chassis but is normally made integral with the latter in its tilting by calibrated elastic members which are neutralized when a P component is applied to the said receptacle, which thus separates it from the chassis.
  • the base of the receptacle is mounted articulated on the tilting frame by an axis of rotation, the elastic members being constituted by spiral springs working in traction.
  • the chassis consists of two cheeks welded on a tilting axis, each of them being connected to the receptacle by a spiral spring, one of the ends of which is hooked at an eccentric point of its axis. rotation while the other end is fixed on the base of said receptacle at a point situated substantially in alignment with this axis.
  • the receptacle which in this case is a Turkish bowl, is mounted movable between a position of use 1 illustrated in solid lines and a cleaning position 1, shown in dashed lines.
  • the bowl is associated with displacement means controlled by programming means not shown, these having in fact no effect on the improvements which will be described below.
  • the base of the bowl 1 is coupled to the tilting frame 2 by hinge pins 3, on which said bowl can freely pivot relative to the frame, so that while being integral, these two assemblies are movable angularly one in relation to the other.
  • the frame 2 is made up, as illustrated in FIG. 2, two parallel cheeks 2 1 welded to a tilting axis 4 resting at its two ends in fixed bearings 5.
  • the side walls 1 2 of the bowl are coupled to the cheeks 2 1 of the chassis by the hinge pins 3.
  • the bowl can be driven from its position of use to its cleaning position, during the tilting of the chassis 2, the latter is connected to said chassis, in addition to the articulation axes 3, by elastic members 6, for example by two calibrated helical springs, one of the ends of which is hung on the bowl and the other on the cheeks 2 1 of the chassis.
  • the two cheeks 2 1 are interconnected by a rod 7 on which is hung one of the ends of each of the springs 6, the latter being held captive by washers 8 preventing the release of the spring.
  • the chassis comes to bear on a stop 11 and the face 1 3 of the bowl is then located opposite the cleaning brushes 12 mounted rotatably above the exhaust pipe 13 for waste water and excrement.
  • the springs 6 play, as indicated above, the clutch role to drive the cup, during the tilting of the chassis, on the sole condition that said cup is free from any constraint.
  • a component P Fig. 1
  • this will generate, depending on the setting of the springs 6, and the value of the component P, a separation of the chassis and the bowl which will then only be linked by the hinge pins 3.
  • This effect is explained by the fact that the springs 6 will be neutralized so that the chassis 2 will tilt alone to come from the position illustrated in solid lines to the position illustrated in mixed line, thus causing an elongation of the springs 6 which will then occupy the position illustrated by the plane 14, the bowl, for its part, having not moved from place.
  • This plane 14 is advantageously substantially parallel to a horizontal plane passing slightly above the tilt axis 4 of the chassis and the axes of rotation 3 of the bowl, so that in this position the springs 6 are neutralized, which avoids abrupt raising of the bowl when the component P ceases to be exerted on said bowl.
  • This provision is particularly advantageous because it avoids, in the case for example where two people would enter together in the medical unit and that one would come out while the other, for example a young child would still be sitting on the bowl 1 , that the latter does not switch from its position of use to its cleaning position when the access door is automatically closed behind the first person out and starting the cleaning cycle.
  • This safety is sufficiently sensitive for it to come into action as soon as the component P corresponds to a few kilos, this adjustment being given by the calibration of the springs 6. It is indeed necessary to provide a threshold below which the neutralization of the springs does not is not performed, so that the bowl is not locked in position simply because of the weight of the droppings it contains. It can therefore normally be envisaged that the springs are only neutralized when the component applied to the bowl 1 is for example of the order of five kilos.
  • a photoelectric cell 15 suitably connected to the programming means, this cell opposing when starting the cleaning circuit if its radius is cut due to the presence of a person or an object located on the bowl.
  • this cell should only operate for a very short time, after the bowl has started its tilting movement so as to prevent it neutralizing the cleaning cycle when said bowl passes in front of cell 15 interrupting its radius.
  • a switch-type contactor under the bowl cutting the cleaning cycle when the bowl is loaded abnormally.
