Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a novel sanitary cell with devices for cleaning the seat glasses arranged on a toilet bowl.
  • a water flush toilet provided with a hinged lid is known, which is provided on the underside of the hinged lid with a device for automatically cleaning the toilet lid, through which the toilet seat is rinsed by means of a cleaning and disinfecting liquid and with brushes or Wipers is cleaned.
  • the device for cleaning the toilet lid is provided with a spray device with which the inside of the toilet bowl is simultaneously sprayed and disinfected.
  • From DE-PS 21 40 097 is also a device for automatic cleaning of toilet seats. where the seat is rinsed off with a cleaning and disinfecting liquid. cleaned with brushes and dried with wipers. known.
  • the spraying device and the cleaning device provided with brushes and wipers are arranged on the fold-up toilet lid, the one with the toilet seat and a fold-up lower part designed as a drain ring. that seals the joint between the toilet lid and the lower part by means of water repellency provided on the toilet lid and on the lower part. forms a structural unit that can be attached to the toilet body.
  • From DE-PS 24 56 020 is a device for cleaning toilet glasses by means of a liquid flow which is guided through a cavity arranged below the surface of the toilet glasses to through-openings on the surface of the glasses. a connection between the glasses and the liquid reservoir being provided. known.
  • a feed line is provided for a medium for drying the previously wet-cleaned toilet seat, air being arranged as the drying medium and a blower for transporting it.
  • DE-OS 25 11 300 describes a device for cleaning a toilet bowl with water flushing. in which the glasses of the toilet bowl are cleaned intensively after each use.
  • a guide plate is arranged above the spray device and below at a distance from the cover. which overlaps the glasses from above at a distance, the outer edge of the guide plate being arranged in the area of the outer upper edge of the glasses. that there is an annular gap between the guide plate and the glasses, and that the lower edge of the cover has a seal which, when the cover is closed, rests against the outer upper edge of the glasses, an annular gap being formed between the outer edge of the guide plate and the cover.
  • DE-OS 25 23 782 A further development of this device is described in DE-OS 25 23 782.
  • a system for disinfection and Cleaning the seat of toilet bowls after touching them is also the subject of German patent application 26 21 802.
  • the toilet bowl is provided with a nose in the specially shaped lid, all around and on the inside edge, in order to prevent the cleaning water from escaping Installation of tubes and nozzles provided that spray the seat with water and disinfectant solution after each use.
  • the toilet seat is designed such that at least the surface of the seat glasses is guided past cleaning devices and is mechanically and / or chemically cleaned and finally dried.
  • the seat goggles are rotatably mounted so that their surface can be moved past the cleaning devices.
  • a flexible shaft serves as the rotary drive for the preferably tubular seat glasses, which is automatically rotated by a motor after use of the toilet seat.
  • the seat glasses are cleaned mechanically by brushes and spray nozzles, from which water or a disinfectant is sprayed onto the surface of the rotating tubular seat glasses.
  • wiping lips engaging on the seat goggles are provided, by means of which the cleaned surface of the seat goggles is dried quickly.
  • DE-OS 26 42 985 something can be read about a device that allows the seat and the toilet bowl to be kept germ-free after each use.
  • This device is characterized in that it has a ring channel connected to a line for the disinfectant and possibly a suction device in the seat, and the seat is made of porous material or is provided with evenly distributed holes opening out from the ring channel into the seat surface.
  • DE-OS 29 07 754 a device for cleaning and disinfecting the seat of a toilet bowl is provided, in which ring-shaped nozzles for spraying a cleaning and disinfecting liquid are arranged in a bowl-like toilet lid.
  • a disadvantage of the previously described devices according to the prior art is that they are largely limited to cleaning by means of water without the aid of other mechanical means. If, for example, mechanical cleaning devices are provided, brushes are accommodated in the sanitary room using rather complex methods. This applies in particular to the solution according to DE-OS 26 30 089. Also, optimal cleaning and thus keeping the toilet bowls clean cannot be achieved in all cases, especially if mechanical cleaning is lacking.
  • DE-PS 22 63 474 a cleaning box is arranged next to the toilet bowl or behind the toilet bowl.
  • two guide rails are provided, with the help of which the seat glasses can be pushed into the cleaning box in a vertical position.
  • a special mechanism had to be developed to manage the branching of the seat glasses from the horizontal to the vertical position and onto the guide rails.
  • Such a mechanism is naturally associated with considerable disadvantages.
  • column 5 line 20 of DE-PS 22 63 474 where the design of two special pins attached to the top of the guide rail is described.
  • such a device is more susceptible, making it unsuitable for automatic operation.
  • DE-OS 27 34 056 describes a mechanism which is quite similar to DE-PS 22 63 474. Because here too, in the variant according to drawing 2, there is a cleaning box behind the toilet bowl, in which the seat glasses are placed for cleaning. There is also a vertical position of the seat glasses provided during cleaning. In contrast to the patent specification 22 63 474, however, no guide rails and therefore also the special branch mechanism are not provided. For this reason, the cleaning device according to DE-OS 27 34 056 is a worsened embodiment compared to DE-PS 22 63 474.
  • German patent 283470 provides for cleaning the toilet seats in a part separated from the sanitary room by a wall.
  • a seat disk is provided on which there are a number of seat openings, which are partly on this side and partly on the other side of the partition.
  • a shaft is provided in the wall so that the seat disc can be rotated. A rather complex construction is described for the rotating mechanism. After using the toilet, the seat disc is then turned until the next opening is above the toilet bowl.
  • the box is equipped with fixed brushes and sponges, i.e. the seat disc is only pushed between the sponges or brushes and so cleaning is accomplished, which has, however, not proven to be sufficient.
  • German patent 283470 A disadvantage of the German patent 283470 is the fact that the cleaning devices are provided in a closed box. A visual inspection by the maintenance staff can therefore not be carried out. It is therefore not possible to notice stubborn dirt or damage to the toilet seat or cleaning brushes in good time. Rather, it is always necessary to open the box so that the relevant checks can be carried out by the maintenance staff. As a result, it is also necessary to interrupt operation during maintenance and inspection work.
  • German Patent 283470 no drying of the seat disk is provided. For this reason alone, this system is not suitable for automatic operation. In addition, the arrangement of the turntable leads to a considerable space requirement. Because in order to be able to rotate the seat opening, the sanitary cell must have a certain width. Apart from this, the complex mechanism described in patent 283470 carries the risk of greater susceptibility. For this reason too, the system therefore has considerable disadvantages with regard to automatic operation.
  • the present invention has now set itself the task of providing a sanitary cell with devices without the previously known disadvantages.
  • the sanitary cell is divided by a wall in the sanitary room with toilet bowl and technical room, b) the toilet bowl is attached to the wall, c) the seat glasses on the toilet bowl are arranged in guide rails, d) the guide rails through an opening in the wall is extended into the technical room so that the seat glasses can be moved onto it in the technical room, and e) the equipment required for cleaning the seat glasses is housed in the technical room.
  • the guide rails are preferably arranged so that the seat glasses can be moved on them while maintaining the horizontal position.
  • other orientations of the guide rails for example in the lateral direction or upwards, are also conceivable.
  • the height rails can protrude freely into the technical room without additional support devices. This has the advantage of a large space saving with the already limited space within the Technical room. However, it has proven useful to mount the guide rails on one or more supports in order to prevent any bending forces that may occur as a result of the seat glasses being shifted onto the guide rails within the equipment room.
  • a motor drive is preferably provided, by means of which the seat glasses can be moved into the technical room after use.
  • the motor drive can be triggered by a control mechanism.
  • the control signal can be coupled to the toilet flush or the lock of the entrance door to the sanitary room.
  • the mechanism is usually triggered by triggering the flushing mechanism or by a specially attached button with the message "Seat cleaning" or by unlocking the door lock. through which the seat glasses move into the technical room.
  • a radar field is set up above the toilet bowl: the process is stopped as soon as this radar field is violated.
  • a touch lock is installed, i.e. As soon as pressure is generated on the glasses and the motor needs an increased power consumption to move, it switches off immediately.
  • Devices for cleaning the seat glasses are preferably arranged in the sanitary room above or to the side of the guide rails.
  • brushes, water jets and air blowers can be provided for this.
  • the rotating brushes achieve mechanical cleaning.
  • the water nozzles have a supporting effect, whereby the water sprayed on may also be mixed with disinfectant or cleaning agent.
  • the seat glasses can be cleaned using the air blower. To this end, wiping rags can also be provided.
  • the cleaning effect can naturally be increased the longer the seat glasses are moved back and forth on the guide rails.
  • the optimal time can be set here by appropriate program control.
  • a better cleaning effect can also be achieved by extending the guide rails.
  • the personnel it is possible for the personnel to enter the technical room and to check it at any time by visual inspection. whether all cleaning devices are properly set and working. I.e. In this way it is possible to ensure ongoing maintenance of the seat glasses, which was not the case with the prior art described at the outset, because the maintenance personnel always had to enter the sanitary room through the same door as the user in order to subject it to a visual inspection .
  • the seat glasses 2 are located on the toilet bowl 1.
  • the guide rails 6 are arranged in a horizontal position projecting into the technical room 5.
  • the seat glasses 2 can be moved out of the sanitary room 4 through the opening 7 of the wall 3 separating the sanitary room 4 from the technical room 5.
  • water is sprayed onto the seat glasses via the nozzle bars 9.
  • the rotating brushes 8 arranged behind the nozzle bars 9 mechanically clean the seat glasses.
  • the seat glasses are moved on the guide rails 6 up to their end supported by the device 13. Within the technical room, the seat glasses can now go several times as required and be driven here. Finally, the rotating brushes are automatically lifted and the water flow switched off to initiate the drying phase. Drying is achieved by moving the blower 10 back and forth several times. Finally, the seat glasses can be moved through the opening 7 in the wall 3 via the toilet bowl 1 into the sanitary room 4. Any moisture residues are removed by means of the wiper lip 11.
