Definitions

  • the object of the present invention is a modular-­structure equipment for the automatic and integral cleaning of the toilet bowl of both public and private toilets and bathrooms, whether already existing, or newly built.
  • a manufacture was proposed recently, which integrally replaces the room used as public toilet, and which is constituted by a true room, inside which an automatic equipment for the self-washing is provided, which carries out the disinfection and drying of the toilet bowl, and the automatic washing and disinfection of the walls and of the floor of the same room.
  • This type of manufacture constitutes, and replaces integrally, the traditional public toilet room, installed in towns.
  • a modular-structure equipment which can be applied behind a bowl of a toilet room or of a bathroom, and so structured, as to carry out the automatic and integral washing, disinfection and drying of the usual seat, which can be lifted from the same bowl, after each usage thereof, as well as the automatic washing of the interior of the bowl.
  • Another purpose of the invention is to provide an equipment for the automatic washing of the seat and of the bowl, capable of resulting highly reliable, of showing a safe and long-lasting operation, and such be suitable for use in both public and private, already existing, or newly-built toilets.
  • a modular-structure equipment for the automatic and integral cleaning of the toilet seat and of the toilet bowl, of toilets and bathrooms in general which equipment comprises, according to the present invention, a box-shaped body of containment and support, interposed between the rear of the bowl and the wall of the room, inside which a treatment chamber or tank is provided for the washing, disinfection and drying of the bowl seat, said tank being equipped, on its front side, with a so-mounted shutter as to be suitable to be sequentially opened both with the lifting of the seat destined to be positioned inside the treatment tank after the usage of the bowl, and with the lowering of said shutter on the bowl when said treatment is finished, inside said treatment tank distributor means for washing water and disinfection liquid, hot air distributor means to dry the same seat, sensor
  • the support box-shaped body is frontally provided with shutters which can be opened, for the purpose of inspecting and/or servicing the electrical and mechanical apparatuses prearranged to carry out the operative cycle of the equipment, whose beginning is commanded by optical and/or electromechanical control means, which detect the user going out from the toilet room, after the use thereof, and stop the same cycle after a pre-fixed time.
  • the equipment is constituted by a support, box-shaped body 1, substantially a cabinet having a parallelepipedal shape made from metal structural work, or the like, frontally provided with side doors with openable wings 1a-1b, with a central door 1c located on its front bottom portion and, at the top, with a lid 1d with safety locks, door-like liftable, and destined to protect the upper chamber, containing the electrical control apparatuses 2.
  • the parallelepipedal cabinet 1 is interposed between the rear of an usual toilet bowl 3, provided with the relevant liftable seat 4, and the wall of the toilet room.
  • a substantially quadrangular and vertically positioned tank 5 is provided inside the front surface 1e of the cabinet 1 ; the dimensions of said tank are such as to house the seat 4 when this latter is lifted to its vertical position and, on the revolution axis of the said seat, outside the tank 5 an electrical motor 5 is provided, which is suitable to drive the revolutionary movements of lifting and lowering of said seat, and at least a limit switch 7 is provided inside the tank, able to detect the stopping of the seat inside the tank, and to allow the beginning of the subsequent washing steps, as it is better clarified hereinunder.
  • the treatment tank 5 is provided with a vertical sliding, tightly sealing shutter 8, which is guided inside the opposite vertical edges of the tank 5, and is driven, with a reciprocating up and down movement, by two racks 9-9a integral with the shutter, and inmeshing with two pinion gears 10-10a, mounted on a single shaft driven by an electrical motor 11 of its own.
  • Limit switches 12 are also provided, to stop the shutter 8 in its open and closed positions.
  • the same treatment tank is provided, at its bottom, with a small tank to collect the washing water, with said collected water being drained through the drain 3a of the toilet bowl.
  • a divider wall 13 which bounds a rear chamber, wherein the washing water coming from the water distribution system, and the disinfecting liquid - coming from a suitable reservoir 14 - arrives, and on which a plurality of nozzles 13a are provided, to allow water to flow into the front chamber when the seat is housed inside the treatment tank.
  • bores or nozzles are also provided, to allow the passage of hot air coming, through the pipe 16, from an axial-intake, axial-­delivery hot-air generator 15, constituted by a fan 16a directly assembled on the revolving shaft of the electrical motor which drives it; to make it possible an air stream to be produced, which is hot enough to dry the seat inside the tank 5 at the end of each washing cycle, the fan driving motor is suitably over­fed, so to supply heat to air lapping it.
  • the programmed feed of washing water, and of the disinfecting liquid to the interior of the treatment tank takes place through a feed pipe 17, which is equipped with a manual on-off valve, a non-return valve and electrovalves for the washing of the toilet seat inside the tank 5, and of the interior of the same toilet bowl 3.
  • the distribution of water takes place through the ducts 17a-17b-17c, and the drawing of the disinfectant is directly carried out from the overhanging reservoir 14, by means of a pump 18.
  • a pressure switch, a pressure gauge and a pressure reducer are associated.
  • a tank 19 for the bowl washing water to be used in emergency cases, i.e., in case of fault of a whatever component of the equipment, or in case of failure of supply of the electrical power necessary to perform the cycle.
  • the emergency tank 19, provided with float ball, is connected with the water distribution system, and is automatically filled after each drain.
  • the electrical board 2 provided to program the various seat washing, disinfection and drying steps, can be accomplished, according to the invention, either in the electromechanical type, or in the microprocessor-­governed type; in both cases, the washing and drying cycle is enslaved to the presence of the user inside the toilet room, by means of either optical or electromechanical means.
  • a photoelectric cell or another beam detector radar
  • radar can be installed, which, when the beam is not intercepted by the presence of the user, locks the toilet room door (as it is better clarified hereunder) and gives the enabling command to begin the cycle.
  • the cycle can be enslaved to the shifts of a footboard, or grid, swinging downwards (loaded footboard), or upwards (unloaded footboard).
  • the cycle starts after that the user went out of the toilet room, and the door was automatically shut; at this time, the electrical control system stably locks the door, and commands the starting of the washing cycle.
  • the room door si equipped with a shutting pump and, after the shutting, a safety lock device is enabled, which prevents the toilet from being used throughout the cleaning cycle. Outside the toilet room door, furthermore a customary signalling of "vacant” and "occupied”, together with that of "off service” is provided.
  • the equipment is also provided with a pushbutton panel 20, with manual-control pushbuttons, one of which makes it possible to disable the automatic cycle of the seat washing cycle, and to cause water contained inside the emergency tank 19 to drain, whilst the other one is destined to discontinue all of the functions of the equipment, in emergency case, for any reasons, with the simultaneous activation of a sound signal, which sounds until the toilet door is opened.
  • the electrical board 2 which controls the cleaning cycle is furthermore equipped with means to immediately discontinue the same cycle in case, e.g., of absence of disinfecting liquid inside its reservoir, of not perfectly shut and locked door and, above all, in case of failure of water supply.
  • the equipment gives the enabling command to start up of the washing cycle, whose steps sequence can be summarized as follows: - the motor 11 starts running, causing the shutter 8 to move upwards, by being so driven by the racks 9-9a, thus liberating the external face - on sight - of the treatment tank 5; - then, the motor 6 starts running, which causes the toilet seat 4 to revolve, said toilet seat 4 getting vertically positioned inside the tank 5.
  • the vertically-positioned seat coming into contact with the limit switch 7, gives the enabling command for the lowering of the shutter 8; - when the shutter is closed, the shutter 8, by coming into contact with the limit switches 12, gives the water feed electrovalve 17 enabling command, thus making pressurized water and disinfectant liquid enter the treatment tank, inside which the seat 4 is tightly enclosed.
  • the duration of the step of washing of the seat with water and disinfecting liquid, and of the direct drain of water into the bowl is controlled by a timer which, when time is over, discontinues the delivery of water to the treatment tank, and gives the command enabling the start-up of the electrofan 16, thus causing, still for a predetermined time, the seat drying.
  • the timer controlling the drying time gives the enabling command, when the time is over, to start-up the motor 11, which, thus, lifts the shutter 8.
  • the shutter at its upper stroke limit, gives the enabling command for the motor 6 to move the seat into its usage position and said seat, on reaching said position, gives the enabling command for the shutter 8 to move downwards again.
  • a feeler gives the room door locking system the enabling command to unlock and release the same door, thus making it possible the toilet room to be subsequently used.
  • the cleaning equipment can be provided with a support cabinet having, instead of a parallelpipedal shape, a suitable shape to match, in the rear, the profile of the toilet room wall; furthermore, two equal pieces of equipment can be installed in closely approached positions, opposite to each other, so to generate two distinct automatic-­washing toilet rooms, elimitating, or reducing the dimensions of, the partition wall between the adjacent rooms, with the advantage that in this case a large number of components of the same pieces of equipment can be eliminated, in that some of them can be either simultaneously or alternatively used to perform the washing cycle of two distinct toilet bowls.
