- column 5 line 20 of DE-PS 22 63 474 where the configuration 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 DE-C-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.

- 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.
- a disadvantage of DE-C-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.
- 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 into a sanitary room with a toilet bowl and into an accessible technical room, b) the toilet bowl is attached to the wall, c) the seat glasses are arranged on the toilet bowl in guide rails, d ) the guide rails are extended through an opening in the wall into the technical room so that the seat glasses can be moved onto them 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 arise 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 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 exerted on the glasses and the motor needs an increased current consumption to move, it switches off immediately.
- Devices for cleaning the seat glasses are preferably arranged in the technical room above or to the side of the guide rails.
- brushes, water jets and air blowers can be provided for this.
- the seat glasses moving along the guide rails are cleaned here.
- Mechanical cleaning is achieved by the rotating brushes.
- the water nozzles have a supporting effect, and the sprayed water can also be mixed with disinfectant or cleaning agent.
- the seat glasses can finally be cleaned using the air blower. Wiping rags can also be provided to support this.
- 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 staff it is possible for the staff 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 accomplished 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.

Here, 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 the lower part. forms a structural unit that can be attached to the toilet body.
Aus der DE-PS 24 56 020 ist eine Vorrichtung zum Reinigen einer WC-Brille mittels eines Flüssigkeitsstroms, welcher durch einen unterhalb der Oberfläche der WC-Brille angeordneten Hohlraum zu Durchtrittsöffnungen an die Oberfläche der Brille geführt wird. wobei eine Verbindung zwischen Brille und Flüssigkeitsreservoir vorgesehen ist. bekannt. Zusätzlich ist eine Zuleitung für ein Medium zum Trocknen der zuvor feucht gereinigten WC-Brille vorgesehen, wobei als Trocknungsmedium Luft und für deren Beförderung ein Gebläse angeordnet ist.DE-PS 24 56 020 discloses a device for cleaning toilet glasses by means of a liquid flow which is led 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.

Die DE-OS 25 11 300 schildert eine Vorrichtung für die Reinigung einer Toilettenschüssel mit Wasserspülung. bei welcher auch die Brille der Toilettenschüssel nach jeder Benutzung intensiv gereinigt wird. Hierbei wird oberhalb der Sprüheinrichtung und unterhalb auf Abstand von dem Deckel eine Leitplatte angeordnet. welche die Brille von oben auf Abstand übergreift, wobei der äußere Rand der Leitplatte im Bereich des äußeren oberen Randes der Brille derart angeordnet ist. daß zwischen der Leitplatte und der Brille ein Ringspalt besteht, und daß der untere Rand des Deckels eine Dichtung aufweist, welche in geschlossenem Zustand des Deckels am äußeren oberen Rand der Brille anliegt, wobei zwischen dem äußeren Rand der Leitplatte und dem Deckel ein Ringspalt entsteht. Eine Weiterbildung dieser Vorrichtung ist in der DE-OS 25 23 782 beschrieben. Eine Anlage zur Desinfektion und Reinigung der Sitzfläche von Toilettenschüsseln nach deren Berührung ist auch Gegenstand der DE-A-26 21 802. Hierbei wird in den speziell geformten Deckel der Toilettenschüssel, die rundherum und an der Innenkante mit einer Nase versehen ist, um das Auslaufen des Reinigungswassers zu vermeiden, der Einbau von Röhren und Düsen vorgesehen, die nach jeder Benutzung die Sitzfläche mit Wasser und Desinfektionslösung besprühen.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. Here, 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 region 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. 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 DE-A-26 21 802. In this case, the toilet bowl has a specially shaped lid, which is provided with a nose all around and on the inside edge to prevent the cleaning water from escaping. the installation of tubes and nozzles is provided, which spray the seat with water and disinfectant solution after each use.
In der DE-OS 26 30 089 wird eine weitere Variante der Toilettensitzreinigung beschrieben. Hierbei ist der Toilettensitz derart ausgestaltet, daß zumindest die Oberfläche der Sitzbrille an Reinigungsvorrichtungen vorbeigeführt wird und dabei mechanisch und/oder chemisch gereinigt und schließlich getrocknet wird. Zur Durchführung dieses Verfahrens ist die Sitzbrille in sich drehbar gelagert, so daß ihre Oberfläche an den Reinigungsvorrichtungen vorbei bewegbar ist. Als Drehantrieb für die vorzugsweise schlauchförmig ausgestaltete Sitzbrille dient eine biegsame Welle, die nach Benutzung des Toilettensitzes selbständig durch einen Motor in Drehung versetzt wird. Die Reinigung der Sitzbrille erfolgt mechanisch durch Bürsten und Sprühdüsen, aus denen Wasser bzw. ein Desinfektionsmittel auf die Oberfläche der sich drehenden schlauchförmigen Sitzbrille gesprüht wird. Schließlich sind noch an der Sitzbrille angreifende Abstreiflippen vorgesehen, durch die ein schnelles Trocknen der gereinigten Oberfläche der Sitzbrille erreicht wird.Another variant of toilet seat cleaning is described in DE-OS 26 30 089. Here, 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. To carry out this method, 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. Finally, wiping lips engaging on the seat glasses are provided, by means of which the cleaned surface of the seat glasses is dried quickly.
In der DE-OS 26 42 985 ist etwas über eine Einrichtung zu lesen, die es gestattet, den Sitz und die Toilettenmuschel nach jeder Benutzung keimfrei zu halten. Diese Einrichtung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß sie im Sitz einen mit einer Leitung für das Desinfektionsmittel und ggf. mit einem Absauger verbundenen Ringkanal aufweist, und der Sitz aus porösem Material besteht oder mit gleichmäßig verteiltem vom Ringkanal in die Sitzoberfläche ausmündenden Bohrungen versehen ist.In 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 uniformly distributed bores opening out from the ring channel into the seat surface.
In der DE-OS 29 07 754 ist eine Einrichtung zum Reinigen und Desinfizieren des Sitzes einer Toilettenschüssel vorgesehen, bei der in einem schalenartigen Toilettendeckel ringförmig Düsen zum Versprühen einer Reinigungs- und Desinfektionsflüssigkeit angeordnet sind.In 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.
Nachteil der bisher geschilderten Vorrichtungen nach dem Stand der Technik ist, daß diese sich zum großen Teil auf die Reinigung mittels Wasser ohne Zuhilfenahme anderer mechanischer Mittel beschränken. Sofern mechanische Reinigungseinrichtungen beispielsweise Bürsten vorgesehen sind, sind diese mit recht aufwendigen Methoden in dem Sanitärraum untergebracht. Dies gilt insbesondere für die Lösung nach der DE-OS 26 30 089. Auch läßt sich nicht in allen Fällen eine optimale Reinigung und damit Sauberhaltung der Toilettenschüsseln erreichen, insbesondere wenn es an einer mechanischen Reinigung fehlt.The disadvantage of the previously described devices according to the prior art is that they are largely restricted 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 there is no mechanical cleaning.
Bei der DE-PS 22 63 474 ist neben der Toilettenschüssel oder hinter der Toilettenschüssel ein Reinigungskasten angeordnet. In diesem sind zwei Führungsschienen vorgesehen, mit deren Hilfe die Sitzbrille in vertikaler Lage in den Reinigungskasten geschoben werden kann. Hierzu mußte ein spezieller Mechanismus entwickelt werden, um die Abzweigung der Sitzbrille von der horizontalen in die vertikale Lage und auf die Führungsschienen zu bewerkstelligen. Ein solcher Mechanismus ist naturgemäß mit erheblichen Nachteilen verbunden. Dies wird auch aus Spalte 5 Zeile 20 der DE-PS 22 63 474 ersichtlich, wo die Ausgestaltung zweier spezieller oben an der Führungsschiene angebrachter Zapfen beschrieben ist. Außerdem ist eine solche Vorrichtung anfälliger, so daß sie für den automatischen Betrieb ungeeignet ist.In DE-PS 22 63 474 a cleaning box is arranged next to the toilet bowl or behind the toilet bowl. In this two guide rails are provided, with the help of which the seat glasses can be pushed in a vertical position into the cleaning box. For this purpose, 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. This can also be seen from
Die DE-OS 27 34 056 beschreibt einen Mechanismus, welcher der DE-PS 22 63 474 recht ähnlich ist. Denn auch hier befindet sich in der Variante gemäß Zeichnung 2 ein Reinigungskasten hinter der Toilettenschüssel, in welchem die Sitzbrille zwecks Reinigung verbracht wird. Auch ist eine vertikale Lage der Sitzbrille während der Reinigung vorgesehen. Im Unterschied zur DE-C-22 63 474 sind aber keine Führungsschienen und damit auch nicht der spezielle Abzweigemechanismus vorgesehen. Aus diesem Grunde handelt es sich bei der Reinigungsvorrichtung gemäß der DE-OS 27 34 056 um eine verschlechterte Ausführungsform gegenüber der DE-PS 22 63 474. Weitere Reinigungsvorschläge sind in folgenden Dokumenten beschrieben:
Nachteil all dieser Einrichtungen ist, daß die Lösungsvorschläge technisch sehr aufwendig sind. Solche Vorrichtungen sind aber in der Regel anfällig und daher für öffentliche Toiletten, welche stets für große Nutzerzahlen ausgelegt sein müssen, ungeeignet.The disadvantage of all these devices is that the proposed solutions are technically very complex. However, such devices are generally susceptible and are therefore unsuitable for public toilets, which must always be designed for large numbers of users.
Ein weiterer wesentlicher Nachteil sämtlicher bisher beschriebener Anlagen ist, daß das Wartungspersonal zur Kontrolle des Reinheitsgrades der Sitzbrille den Toilettenraum betreten muß. Dies führt dazu, daß eine Überprüfung nur in unregelmäßigen Abständen erfolgt. Aus diesem Grunde kann es leicht dazu kommen, daß Verschmutzungen oder auch Beschädigungen der Reinigungsvorrichtungen von dem Personal nicht bemerkt werden.Another major disadvantage of all systems described so far is that the maintenance personnel must enter the toilet room to check the degree of cleanliness of the seat glasses. This means that a check is only carried out at irregular intervals. For this reason, it can easily happen that dirt or damage to the cleaning devices is not noticed by the personnel.
In der DE-C-283470 ist vorgesehen, die Reinigung der Toilettensitze in einem von dem Sanitärraum durch eine Wand abgetrennten Teil durchzuführen.DE-C-283470 provides for cleaning the toilet seats in a part separated from the sanitary room by a wall.
Ferner ist eine Sitzscheibe vorgesehen, auf der sich eine Anzahl von Sitzöffnungen befindet, welche teils diesseits, teils jenseits der Trennwand liegen. In der Wand ist eine Welle vorgesehen, so daß die Sitzscheibe drehbar ist. Für den Drehmechanismus ist eine recht aufwendige Konstruktion beschrieben. Nach dem Benutzen der Toilette wird hiernach die Sitzscheibe so weit gedreht, bis die nächste Öffnung über dem Toilettenbecken steht.Furthermore, 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 pane is then turned until the next opening is above the toilet bowl.
Jenseits der Trennwand ist ein Kasten vorgesehen, in welchem die Sitzscheibe gereinigt wird. Zu diesem Zweck ist der Kasten mit feststehenden Bürsten und Schwämmen ausgerüstet, d.h. die Sitzscheibe wird nur zwischen den Schwämmen oder Bürsten durchgeschoben und so eine Reinigung bewerkstelligt, welche sich jedoch als nicht ausreichend erwiesen hat.Beyond the partition there is a box in which the seat pane is cleaned. For this purpose 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.
Nachteilig bei der DE-C-283470 ist die Tatsache, daß die Reinigungsvorrichtungen in einem geschlossenen Kasten vorgesehen sind. Eine optische Kontrolle durch das Wartungspersonal kann demnach nicht durchgeführt werden. Es ist somit nicht möglich, rechtzeitig hartnäckige Verschmutzungen oder Beschädigungen des Toilettensitzes oder der Reinigungsbürsten zu bemerken. Es ist vielmehr stets erforderlich, den Kasten zu öffnen, um die betreffenden Kontrollen vom Wartungspersonal durchführen zu lassen. Folglich ist es auch notwendig, während der Wartungs- und Kontrollarbeiten den Betrieb zu unterbrechen.A disadvantage of DE-C-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.
Schließlich sei noch darauf hingewiesen, daß gemäß der DE-C-283470 keine Trocknung der Sitzscheibe vorgesehen ist. Für einen automatischen Betrieb ist daher schon aus diesem Grunde diese Anlage nicht geeignet. Hinzu kommt, daß die Anordnung der Drehscheibe zu einem erheblichen Platzbedarf führt. Denn um die Sitzöffnung drehen zu können, muß die Sanitärzelle eine gewisse Breite aufweisen. Abgesehen davon birgt der in der DE-C-283470 beschriebene aufwendige Mechanismus das Risiko einer größeren Anfälligkeit in sich. Auch aus diesem Grunde weist die Anlage daher erhebliche Nachteile hinsichtlich des automatischen Betriebes auf.Finally, it should be pointed out that according to DE-C-283470 there is no drying of the seat disk. 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 DE-C-283470 carries the risk of greater susceptibility. For this reason too, the system has considerable disadvantages with regard to automatic operation.
Die vorliegende Erfindung hat sich nunmehr die Aufgabe gestellt, eine Sanitärzelle mit Vorrichtungen ohne die bisher bekannten Nachteile zur Verfügung zu stellen.The present invention has now set itself the task of providing a sanitary cell with devices without the previously known disadvantages.
Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß a) die Sanitärzelle durch eine Wand in einen Sanitärraum mit Toilettenschüssel und in einen betretbaren Technikraum unterteilt ist, b) die Toilettenschüssel an der Wand befestigt ist, c) die Sitzbrille auf der Toilettenschüssel in Führungsschienen angeordnet ist, d) die Führungsschienen durch eine Öffnung in der Wand in den Technikraum hinein verlängert sind, so daß die Sitzbrille auf diesen in den Technikraum verschiebbar ist, und e) in den Technikraum die für die Reinigung der Sitzbrille erforderlichen Einrichtungen untergebracht sind.This object is achieved in that a) the sanitary cell is divided by a wall into a sanitary room with a toilet bowl and into an accessible technical room, b) the toilet bowl is attached to the wall, c) the seat glasses are arranged on the toilet bowl in guide rails, d ) the guide rails are extended through an opening in the wall into the technical room so that the seat glasses can be moved onto them in the technical room, and e) the equipment required for cleaning the seat glasses is housed in the technical room.
Im Technikraum sind die Führungsschienen vorzugsweise so angeordnet, daß die Sitzbrille auf diesen unter Beibehaltung der horizontalen Lage bewegbar ist. Es ist jedoch ebenso möglich, die Führungsschienen so anzuordnen, daß sie leicht abfallend gestaltet sind. Dies hätte den Vorteil, daß die Verschiebung der Sitzbrille etwas erleichtert wird. Ebenso sind aber auch andere Ausrichtungen der Führungsschienen, etwa in seitlicher Richtung oder nach oben, denkbar.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. However, it is also possible to arrange the guide rails so that they are designed to be slightly sloping. This would have the advantage that the movement of the seat glasses is somewhat facilitated. However, other orientations of the guide rails, for example in the lateral direction or upwards, are also conceivable.
Die Höhenschienen können ohne zusätzlichen Stützvorrichtungen frei in den Technikraum hineinragen. Dies hat den Vorteil einer großen Platzersparnis bei dem ohnehin knappen Platz innerhalb des Technikraums. Es hat sich jedoch bewährt, die Führungsschienen auf einer oder mehreren Stützen zu lagern, um etwaig auftretende Biegekräfte infolge der Verschiebung der Sitzbrille auf die Führungsschienen innerhalb des Technikraums zu unterbinden.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 arise as a result of the seat glasses being shifted onto the guide rails within the equipment room.
Der Vorzug der erfindungsgemäßen Anlage besteht darin, daß eine reibungslose automatische Reinigung ermöglicht wird. Zu diesem Zweck wird vorzugsweise ein Motorantrieb vorgesehen, mittels dessen nach Gebrauch die Sitzbrille in den Technikraum bewegbar ist. Durch einen Steuermechanismus kann jeweils der Motorantrieb ausgelöst werden. Beispielsweise kann das Steuersignal mit der Toilettenspülung oder auch dem Schloß der Eingangstür zum Sanitärraum gekoppelt sein. Üblicherweise wird durch Auslösung des Spülmechanismus oder durch einen besonders angebrachten Knopf mit dem Hinweis "Sitzreinigung" oder durch die Entriegelung des Türschlosses der Mechanismus ausgelöst. durch den sich die Sitzbrille in den Technikraum verschiebt.The advantage of the system according to the invention is that smooth automatic cleaning is made possible. For this purpose, 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. For example, the control signal can be coupled to the toilet flush or the lock of the entrance door to the sanitary room. Usually the mechanism is 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.
Zur Vermeidung von Unfällen ist oberhalb des WC-Topfes ein Radarfeld aufgebaut: der Vorgang wird sofort gestoppt, sobald dieses Radarfeld verletzt wird. Darüber hinaus wird noch eine Berührungssperre eingebaut, d.h. sobald Druck auf die Brille erzeugt wird und der Motor eine erhöhte Stromaufnahme zum Verschieben benötigt, schaltet er sofort ab.To avoid accidents, a radar field is set up above the toilet bowl: the process is stopped as soon as this radar field is violated. In addition, a touch lock is installed, i.e. As soon as pressure is exerted on the glasses and the motor needs an increased current consumption to move, it switches off immediately.
In dem Technikraum oberhalb oder seitlich der Führungsschienen sind vorzugsweise Einrichtungen zur Reinigung der Sitzbrille angeordnet. Hierfür können beispielsweise Bürsten, Wasserdüsen und Luftgebläse vorgesehen sein. Es wird demgemäß hier die auf den Führungsschienen sich entlang bewegende Sitzbrille gereinigt. Durch die rotierenden Bürsten wird eine mechanische Reinigung erreicht. Unterstützend wirken die Wasserdüsen, wobei das aufgespritzte Wasser ggf. auch mit Desinfektionsmittel oder Reinigungsmittel gemischt sein kann. Mittels des Luftgebläses läßt sich schließlich die Sitzbrille reinigen. Unterstützend können hierfür auch Wischlappen noch vorgesehen werden.Devices for cleaning the seat glasses are preferably arranged in the technical room above or to the side of the guide rails. For example, brushes, water jets and air blowers can be provided for this. Accordingly, the seat glasses moving along the guide rails are cleaned here. Mechanical cleaning is achieved by the rotating brushes. The water nozzles have a supporting effect, and the sprayed water can also be mixed with disinfectant or cleaning agent. The seat glasses can finally be cleaned using the air blower. Wiping rags can also be provided to support this.
Die Reinigungswirkung läßt sich naturgemäß erhöhen, je länger die Sitzbrille auf den Führungsschienen hin und her bewegt wird. Durch entsprechende Programmsteuerung läßt sich hier der optimale Zeitpunkt einstellen. Ebenso kann durch eine Verlängerung der Führungsschienen eine bessere Reinigungswirkung erreicht werden. Zudem ist es für das Personal möglich, den Technikraum zu betreten und durch optische Kontrolle jederzeit zu überprüfen. ob sämtliche Reinigungseinrichtungen einwandfrei eingestellt sind und funktionieren. D.h. auf diese Art ist es möglich, eine fortwährende Wartung der Sitzbrille zu gewährleisten, was bei dem eingangs geschilderten Stand der Technik nicht der Fall war, weil das Wartungspersonal stets durch dieselbe Tür wie die Benutzer den Sanitärraum betreten mußte, um diesen einer optischen Kontrolle zu unterziehen.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. In addition, it is possible for the staff 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 .
Im folgenden wird unter Bezugnahme auf die Figuren die Erfindung näher erläutert.
Figur 1- zeigt in der Seitenansicht die erfindungsgemäße Sanitärzelle.

- Figure 1
- shows the side view of the sanitary cell according to the invention.
- Figure 2
- represents the sanitary cell under supervision.
In Figur 1 befindet sich die Sitzbrille 2 auf der Toilettenschüssel 1. Die Führungsschienen 6 sind in waagerechter Lage in den Technikraum 5 hineinragend angeordnet. Mittels des Motorantriebs 12 kann die Sitzbrille 2 aus dem Sanitärraum 4 durch die Öffnung 7 der den Sanitärraum 4 vom Technikraum 5 trennenden Wand 3 bewegt werden. Während dieser Bewegung wird über die Düsenbalken 9 Wasser auf die Sitzbrille gesprüht. Die hinter den Düsenbalken 9 angeordneten rotierenden Bürsten 8 bewirken eine mechanische Reinigung der Sitzbrille. Die Sitzbrille wird auf den Führungsschienen 6 bis zu deren mit der Vorrichtung 13 abgestützten Ende gefahren. Innerhalb des Technikraums kann nun die Sitzbrille je nach Bedarf mehrmals hin und her gefahren werden. Schließlich werden die rotierenden Bürsten automatisch abgehoben und der Wasserfluß abgestellt, um die Trocknungsphase einzuleiten. Die Trocknung wird durch mehrmaliges Hin- und Herfahren unter dem Gebläse 10 erreicht. Schließlich kann die Sitzbrille durch die Öffnung 7 in der Wand 3 wieder über die Toilettenschüssel 1 in den Sanitärraum 4 gefahren werden. Hierbei werden etwaige Feuchtigkeitsreste mittels der Wischlippe 11 entfernt.In FIG. 1, the
