Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for cleaning toilet brushes according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Toilet brushes as an indispensable part of human hygiene require constant cleaning. This cleaning has so far only been possible by holding the toilet brush in the water flow of a flushing toilet, moving it back and forth several times and rinsing it several times. The cleaning result is still unsatisfactory in most cases, and so the brush is thrown away after a relatively short period of use. Furthermore, an unsanitary water residue accumulates in the brush bowl, which often gets onto the toilet seat when the toilet seat is not folded up.
  • a device for cleaning toilet brushes according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from DE-PS 332 828.
  • an overflow water container is connected to a rinsing line in order to supply the water container with fresh water from below from time to time and thus to keep the brush in the container always clean.
  • the flushing water supply can be made from a separate cistern.
  • the brush container in which the brush is placed plugged in or hooked in or attached in some other way, is surrounded by a second container into which the overflow water enters, which can be carried on from here through a special pipe.
  • the toilet brush is therefore always surrounded by water. The cleaning effect is therefore unsatisfactory.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a device for cleaning toilet brushes of the type mentioned, with which the toilet brush can be cleaned easily, reliably and better.
  • Nozzles are directed onto the toilet brush, through which the cleaning water is sprayed onto the brush.
  • This rinsing device is designed so that the brush fibers are sprayed with the water emerging from the nozzles and the contaminated water is fed either to the water rinsing toilet or to the waste water connection.
  • the present invention saves water, generates less waste water and achieves a longer service life of the brushes and better hygiene.
  • the nozzles can be provided in a nozzle block surrounding the toilet brush.
  • This nozzle assembly is advantageously designed in the form of an annular space.
  • a siphon can be connected to the outlet for the waste water.
  • an actuatable valve is provided in the feed line to the nozzles.
  • This valve can be actuated by hand and / or by a switching element, preferably a magnetic switch.
  • the switching element can be actuated by a switch, preferably a limit switch.
  • This limit switch can preferably be triggered by the toilet brush. It is advantageous if the limit switch can be triggered mechanically by the toilet brush resting on the housing. In this case, placing the toilet brush on the housing actuates the limit switch, which automatically initiates the cleaning process.
  • nozzle assemblies can be arranged one above the other.
  • Glass, plastic or ceramic are particularly suitable as materials for the execution of the individual parts of the device.
  • a fresh air pipe is preferably provided, through which fresh air can be supplied to the toilet brush via nozzles directed towards it.
  • the brush can then be blown dry after the rinsing or cleaning process.
  • the brush is sprayed off, whereby the drops still present on the brush are blown away.
  • the housing space surrounding the brush is dried, which means that bacteria are less able to survive, which has an additional hygienizing effect.
  • the fresh air pipe can be guided to the supply line via a valve which can be actuated by hand and / or by a switching element, preferably a magnetic switch.
  • the fresh air is directed to the brush via the same nozzles as the Rei cleaning water. This also dries the water supply and nozzles through the fresh air.
  • a separate fresh air line is partially saved and separate nozzles are also saved.
  • the valve is preferably a three-way valve through which either water or fresh air can be supplied to the toilet brush.
  • the three-way valve is brought into the position in which water is supplied.
  • the brush is then sprayed off.
  • the three-way valve is then brought into the position in which fresh air is supplied.
  • the brush is then blown dry.
  • a time relay is provided, by means of which the valve or the three-way valve can be reset. After a time that can be predetermined by the time relay, the valve that supplies the fresh air is closed or the three-way valve is brought into the position in which water is supplied.
  • a heater preferably a heating coil, can be fitted in the fresh air pipe. Warm air is then supplied, which additionally improves the drying effect.
  • an exhaust pipe is provided which is provided in the housing or branches off from the outlet.
  • the exhaust pipe preferably branches off in the flow direction in front of the siphon.
  • the exhaust air flow leading from the housing is blocked by the liquid stored in the siphon, so that the exhaust air must flow through the exhaust pipe.
  • a further advantageous development is characterized by a fan arranged in the fresh air pipe and / or the exhaust air pipe, by means of which the air flow is generated.
  • the device for cleaning toilet brushes shown in the single figure has a splash-proof housing 1 which surrounds the toilet brush 7 and in which nozzles 17 are provided which are directed toward the toilet brush 7 or its brush fibers 15.
  • a splash-proof housing 1 which surrounds the toilet brush 7 and in which nozzles 17 are provided which are directed toward the toilet brush 7 or its brush fibers 15.
  • In the bottom of the housing 1 there is an outlet 16 for the waste water, to which a siphon 2 connects, from which the waste water flows into the waste water connecting pipe 20, which is provided with a fastening flange 3.
  • the brush fibers are connected to the toilet brush 7 at its front end 4.
  • the nozzles 17 are provided in an annular space-shaped nozzle block 5 surrounding the toilet brush.
  • the nozzle assembly 5 and thus also the nozzles 17 are located slightly above the front end 4 of the toilet brush 7, thus spraying the brush fibers 15 from above. Furthermore, the nozzles 17 are directed obliquely downwards. Several rows of nozzles can be provided.
  • the nozzles 17 are distributed uniformly over the circumference of the annular nozzle 5. The water flows through the nozzles 17 with a sharp jet 18 onto the brush fibers 15 which are attached to the front end 4 of the toilet brush 7. The water then flows through the drain 16 via the siphon 2 into the waste water connection pipe 20.
  • An actuatable valve 13 is provided in the feed line 6 to the nozzles 17 or to the annular space 5. It is sitting on a flange 10 which is connected to the housing 1. The feed line 6 passes through this flange 10.
  • the valve 13 can be actuated either by the solenoid 11 or by hand via the spindle 12, that is to say it can be opened and closed either by hand or by actuation.
  • the housing 1 has an opening on its top, on which a lid 8 connected to the toilet brush 7 can be placed.
  • a seal 9 is provided which rests on the opening and thus effects the seal.
  • the cover 8 has a lateral projection through which a switch 19 provided on the housing flange 10 for the valve 13 can be actuated.
  • the switch 19 can be connected to a timer, which causes a certain time delay.
  • the valve 13 therefore opens only after a time period which can be predetermined by the timer. Eas timer can be adjustable so that the delay time can be changed depending on the needs.
  • valve 13 After opening the valve 13, water flows via the feed line 6 into the annular space 5 and from there through the nozzles 17 onto the brush fibers 15.
  • the valve 13 is preferably seated on the flange 10, with which the entire device is also fastened to the wall can.
  • a plurality of nozzle assemblies 5 can also be arranged one above the other.
  • a fresh air pipe 22 leads to the valve 13, through which fresh air can be supplied to the toilet brush via the nozzles 17 directed towards it.
  • the fresh air fan 23, which is arranged in the fresh air pipe 22, switches on manually or automatically. Through the flow direction behind the fresh air fan 23 arranged heating coil 24, the fresh air is heated and fed through the fresh air pipe 22 to the valve 13.
  • the valve 13 is designed as a three-way valve. If fresh air is supplied, the water inflow via the three-way valve 13 is shut off. The fresh air is blown onto the nozzle via the feed line 6, the nozzle assembly 5 and the nozzles 17.
  • the fresh air exits via the nozzles 17 from the annular channel 5 directed towards the brush 15 in such a way that the water drips off and the remaining moisture evaporates.
  • the exhaust air is then discharged through the exhaust pipe 25. It passes from the exhaust pipe 25 into a ventilation pipe 26 and from there into the free atmosphere, for example through a line to the roof of the building. It is also possible to supply the exhaust air to the vented drain pipe 3 (not shown in the drawing).
  • the exhaust pipe 25 branches off in the flow direction in front of the siphon 2 from the outlet 16. The flow of exhaust air is thus blocked from the way to the sewage connection pipe 20 by the liquid 27 stored in the siphon 2. The air must flow out of the exhaust pipe 25.
  • valve or the three-way valve 13 After a time that can be set via a time switch relay (not shown in the drawing) or by manual operation 12, the valve or the three-way valve 13 is brought into the basic position, that is to say the position that blocks the fresh air, as soon as the brush has dried.
