Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Sanitärzelle für öffentliche Zwecke gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1, bestehend aus einem durch eine Außentür zugänglichen Sanitärraum, in dem ein Toilettenbecken mit einem Abfluß angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a sanitary cell for public Purposes according to the preamble of claim 1, consisting of one through an outer door accessible sanitary room, in which a toilet bowl with a drain is arranged.

Eine derartige Sanitärzelle ist aus der WO-A-9401627 bekannt.Such a sanitary cell is known from WO-A-9401627.

In großen Städten sind an stark frequentierten Orten üblicherweise öffentliche Toiletten vorgesehen, die entweder in einem dafür errichteten Gebäude untergebracht oder von einer aufgestellten vorgefertigten Sanitärzelle gebildet sind. Die Sanitärzellen sind über eine nach Münzeinwurf zu öffnende Außentür zugänglich und weisen vollautomatische Reinigungsvorrichtungen auf. Wenn ein Benutzer die Sanitärzelle verläßt, wird die Außentür geschlossen und der Reinigungsvorgang in Gang gesetzt. Nach Abschluß des Reinigungsvorganges wird die Verriegelung der Außentür automatisch gelöst, so daß die Sanitärzelle nach Münzeinwurf wieder zugänglich ist. Sanitärzellen dieser Art sind an ihrem Standort abflußseitig unmittelbar an die Abwasserkanalisation angeschlossen, so daß sie im normalen Betrieb wartungsfrei als autonome Sanitäreinheit betrieben werden können. In big cities are in high traffic places usually provided public toilets that either housed in a purpose-built building or from an installed prefabricated sanitary cell are formed. The sanitary cells are over one Coin slot accessible and point open outer door fully automatic cleaning devices. When a When the user leaves the bathroom, the outer door closed and the cleaning process started. After the cleaning process is complete, the lock the outer door automatically released so that the sanitary cubicle is accessible again after the coin has been inserted. Sanitary cells of this kind are direct at their location on the drain side connected to the sewage system, so that maintenance-free as an autonomous sanitary unit in normal operation can be operated.

Öffentliche Sanitärvorrichtungen bzw. Toilettenanlagen sollen aus städtebaulichen Gründen in der Regel einen möglichst geringen Bauraum einnehmen, was dazu geführt hat, daß insbesondere Sanitärzellen einen sehr kompakten konstruktiven Aufbau besitzen. Andererseits soll jeder Benutzer in der Sanitärzelle eine ausreichende Bewegungsfreiheit haben, was jedoch auch bedingt, daß z.B. für Rollstuhlfahrer ausreichende Bewegungsflächen vor und neben dem Klosett- bzw. Toilettenbecken vorhanden sind. Diese sicherlich begründete Forderung steht jedoch dem Wunsch nach einer kompakten Ausgestaltung der Sanitärzelle entgegen. Darüber hinaus ist es bei öffentlichen Sanitärzellen notwendig, daß deren Einbauten und Vorrichtungen zuverlässig funktionieren und insbesondere für einen Benutzer keine Gefahrenquelle darstellen. Es muß deshalb eine robuste Technik mit hohem Sicherheitsstandard Verwendung finden.Public sanitary facilities or toilet facilities should usually have one for urban planning reasons take up as little space as possible, which led to this has that in particular sanitary cells a very compact have a constructive structure. On the other hand, everyone should Users in the sanitary cubicle have sufficient freedom of movement have, but this also means that e.g. For Wheelchair users have sufficient space in front of and next to the toilet or toilet bowl are available. However, this certainly well-founded demand stands up to it Desire for a compact design of the sanitary cell opposite. It is also public Sanitary cells necessary that their internals and devices work reliably and especially for a user is not a source of danger. It must therefore a robust technology with a high security standard Find use.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Sanitärzelle der genannten Art zu schaffen, die trotz eines kompakten Aufbaus insbesondere Rollstuhlfahrern ausreichenden Bewegungsraum bietet.The invention has for its object a sanitary cell of the type mentioned, which despite a compact structure sufficient especially for wheelchair users Offers room for movement.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1.

Aufgrund der Schwenkbarkeit des Toilettenbeckens kann erreicht werden, daß der Rollstuhlfahrer die Position des Toilettenbecken individuell verändert,so daß er von dem Rollstuhl in einfacher Weise auf das Toilettenbecken umsteigen kann, ohne zusätzlichen Bewegungsraum zu benötigen. Es hat sich gezeigt, daß auf diese Weise bei gleicher Bewegungsmöglichkeit der notwendige Bewegungsraum gegenüber einem feststehenden Toilettenbecken von wesentlich verringert werden kann, so daß ein sehr kompakter konstruktiver Aufbau möglich ist.Due to the swiveling of the toilet bowl can be achieved that the wheelchair user the position of Toilet bowl individually changed so that it is from the Wheelchair in a simple way to the toilet bowl can change without needing additional space for movement. It has been shown that in this way same space for movement, the necessary space for movement opposite a fixed toilet bowl from can be reduced significantly, so that a very compact constructive structure is possible.

Die Schwenkbarkeit des Toilettenbeckens erfordert zusätzliche Maßnahmen zur Sicherheit des Benutzers. Zu diesem Zweck ist erfindungsgemäß einerseits vorgesehen, daß das Toilettenbecken nicht manuell, sondern mittels einer Antriebsvorrichtung, beispielsweise eines Antriebsmotors, verstellt wird. Die Betätigungsvorrichtung, mit der die Antriebsvorrichtung aktiviert und das Toilettenbecken in die gewünschte Schwenkstellung gebracht werden kann, ist bei der erfindungsgemäßen Sanitärzelle auf deren Außenseite vorzugsweise neben der Außentür vorgesehen, wodurch zuverlässig vermieden ist, daß ein Benutzer der Sanitärzelle das Toilettenbecken irrtümlich verschwenkt, wenn er auf diesem sitzt oder die Sanitärzelle in sonstiger Weise benutzt, zumal die Außentür bei Benutzung der Sanitärzelle geschlossen ist.The pivoting of the toilet bowl requires additional User safety measures. To for this purpose, the invention provides, on the one hand, that the toilet bowl is not manual, but by means of a drive device, for example a drive motor, is adjusted. The actuator, with which activates the drive device and the toilet bowl be brought into the desired swivel position can, is in the sanitary cell according to the invention the outside of which is preferably provided next to the outside door, thereby reliably avoiding a user the toilet bowl erroneously swiveled the toilet bowl, when he sits on this or the sanitary cubicle used in any other way, especially when the outer door is in use the sanitary cell is closed.

Um die Betätigungseinrichtung für das Verschwenken des Toilettenbeckens hinsichtlich der Bedienung möglichst einfach zu gestalten, kann in vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung eine Tastatur vorgesehen sein, mit der eine von verschiedenen vorgegebenen Schwenkstellungen des Toilettenbeckens auswählbar ist.To the actuator for pivoting the Toilet basin in terms of operation if possible easy to design, can be in an advantageous embodiment the invention, a keyboard can be provided with which of various predetermined swivel positions of the Toilet bowl is selectable.

Eine irrtümliche Verstellung des Toilettenbeckens durch einen im Sanitärraum befindlichen Benutzer kann zuverlässig ausgeschlossen werden, wenn die Antriebsvorrichtung für das Toilettenbecken mittels der Betätigungseinrichtung nur bei geschlossener Außentür betätigbar und steuerbar ist.An erroneous adjustment of the toilet bowl by a user in the sanitary room can be reliable be excluded if the drive device for the toilet bowl using the actuator can only be operated when the outer door is closed and is controllable.

Um darüberhinaus zu vermeiden, daß außenstehende Dritte das Toilettenbecken verschwenken, während die Sanitärzelle benutzt wird, kann erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen sein, daß die Antriebsvorrichtung mittels der Betätigungseinrichtung nur bei freiem, nicht benutztem Sanitärraum betätigbar und steuerbar ist. Zu diesem Zweck sind im Sanitärraum entsprechende Sensoren angeordnet, die das Vorhandensein einer Person feststellen und die Betätigungseinrichtung in diesem Fall entsprechend sperren.In addition to avoid outside third parties swivel the toilet bowl while the sanitary cubicle is used can be provided according to the invention, that the drive device by means of the actuator only with free, unused sanitary room can be operated and controlled. For this purpose Sanitary room appropriate sensors arranged that Determine the presence of a person and the actuator block accordingly in this case.

Um dem Benutzer einen Überblick über die Verstellmöglichkeiten des Toilettenbeckens und auch die aktuelle Schwenkposition zu geben, kann außenseitig der Sanitärzelle vorzugsweise neben der Betätigungseinrichtung eine Anzeigevorrichtung für die Schwenkstellung des Toilettenbeckens angeordnet sein.To give the user an overview of the adjustment options of the toilet bowl and also the current one Giving swivel position can be on the outside of the sanitary cubicle preferably next to the actuator Display device for the swivel position of the toilet bowl be arranged.

Als vorteilhaft hat es sich erwiesen, wenn das Toilettenbecken aus einer Grundstellung in beide Schwenkrichtungen um jeweils bis maximal ca. 90°, vorzugsweise jedoch bis ca. 75° schwenkbar ist, so daß der in der Grundstellung vor dem Toilettenbecken befindliche Raum gleichzeitig der in der maximalen Schwenkstellung seitlich neben dem Toilettenbecken befindliche Raum ist.It has proven to be advantageous if the toilet bowl from a basic position in both swivel directions by in each case up to a maximum of approximately 90 °, but preferably up to is pivotable about 75 °, so that in the basic position in front of the toilet bowl at the same time the in the maximum swivel position next to the Toilet room is located.

Das Toilettenbecken ist erfindungsgemäß in verschiedenen Schwenkstellungen festlegbar. Dies ist für eine sichere und gefahrlose Benutzung der Sanitärzelle notwendig. In bevorzugter Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, daß die Festlegung entweder stufenlos beispielsweise mittels einer Klemmvorrichtung oder auch in abgestufter Weise erfolgen kann. Bei letzterer Ausgestaltung kann insbesondere eine Rastvorrichtung vorgesehen sein. Wenn als Antriebsvorrichtung ein selbsthemmender Getriebemotor vorgesehen ist, kann dieser gleichzeitig auch der Festlegung des Toilettenbeckens dienen.The According to the invention, the toilet bowl can be fixed in various swivel positions. This is for a safe and secure Use of the sanitary cell necessary. In a preferred embodiment it is provided that the definition either continuously, for example by means of a clamping device or can be done in a graded manner. At the latter configuration can in particular be a latching device be provided. If as a drive device a self-locking gear motor is provided, can this at the same time defining the toilet bowl serve.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist das Toilettenbecken auf einer drehbaren Bodenplatte angeordnet, die mit dem Toilettenbecken fest verbunden ist, so daß für letzteres eine hohe Standsicherheit erreicht ist. Die Bodenplatte ist dabei in den Boden des Sanitärraums unter Vermeidung von Absätzen und Stufen integriert.In a further development of the invention is the toilet bowl arranged on a rotatable base plate, which with the Toilet bowl is firmly connected, so for the latter a high level of stability has been achieved. The bottom plate is thereby avoiding in the floor of the sanitary room of paragraphs and levels integrated.

Üblicherweise schließt sich an das Toilettenbecken zur Ableitung der Exkremente ein gegebenenfalls S- bzw. labyrinthförmiger Abflußabschnitt an, der wiederum in eine Abflußleitung mündet, die zur Abwasserkanalisation führt. Der Abflußabschnitt kann entweder ortsfest ausgestaltet sein, so daß sich das Toilettenbecken relativ zu diesem dreht, vorzugsweise ist der Abflußabschnitt jedoch zusammen mit dem Toilettenbecken schwenkbar. Dies kann insbesondere dadurch erreicht werden, daß der Abflußabschnitt an seinem unteren Ende schwenkbar in die Abflußleitung eingesetzt ist, wobei die Mittelachse der Abflußleitung mit der vertikalen Schwenkachse des Toilettenbeckens zusammenfällt.Usually follows the toilet bowl Derivation of the excrement, if necessary an S or labyrinthine drainage section, which in turn in a drain pipe leads to the sewage system leads. The drainage section can either be designed to be stationary be so that the toilet bowl is relative to this rotates, but preferably the drainage section is can be swiveled together with the toilet bowl. This can can be achieved in particular in that the drainage section at its lower end pivotable into the drain line is used, the central axis of the drain line with the vertical pivot axis of the toilet bowl coincides.

Um körperlich behinderten Personen die Benutzung der Sanitärzelle zu erleichtern, kann das Toilettenbecken in Weiterbildung der Erfindung mit einer Rückenlehne versehen sein. Um einen übermäßigen Versatz zwischen der Rückenlehne und der darüber angeordneten Sanitärraumwand zu vermeiden, kann die Rückenlehne zumindest in der mittleren Grundstellung des Toilettenbeckens in einer Nische der Sanitärraumwand aufgenommen sein, wobei die Anlehnfläche der Rückenlehne vorzugsweise mit dem darüber angeordneten Abschnitt der Sanitärraumwand ausgerichtet ist, so daß ein im wesentlichen glatter Übergang zwischen diesen beiden Flächen erreicht ist.To physically disabled people to use the To facilitate sanitary facilities, the toilet bowl can be in Development of the invention provided with a backrest his. To avoid an excessive offset between the Backrest and the sanitary room wall arranged above to avoid the backrest at least in the middle basic position of the toilet bowl in one Niche of the sanitary room wall can be added, the Leaning surface of the backrest preferably with the one above arranged section of the sanitary room wall aligned is, so that a substantially smooth transition between these two areas is reached.

Für die Benutzung einer öffentlichen Sanitärzelle benötigen insbesondere körperlich behinderte Personen zusätzliche Griff- und Haltevorrichtungen, insbesondere Handgriffe, an denen sich der Benutzer beim Setzen auf das Toilettenbecken bzw. beim Aufstehen von diesem festhalten und abstützen kann. Da bei der erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltung das Toilettenbecken verschiedenen Stellungen relativ zur Umgebung und insbesondere den angrenzenden Sanitärraumwänden einnehmen kann, ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, daß vorzugsweise mehrere Griff- bzw. Haltevorrichtungen vorgesehen sind, die jeweils wahlweise in eine Gebrauchs- oder eine Nicht-Gebrauchslage bringbar sind. Als Griff- bzw. Haltevorrichtung findet dabei vorzugsweise eine schwenkbar gelagerte Griffstange Verwendung.Need to use a public bathroom especially physically disabled people additional Handle and holding devices, in particular handles, which the user can rely on when putting on the Hold the toilet bowl or when getting up from it and can support. Since in the configuration according to the invention the toilet bowl in different positions relative to the environment and especially the neighboring ones Sanitary room walls can take is according to the invention provided that preferably several handle or holding devices are provided, each optionally in a use or a non-use position can be brought are. As a handle or holding device takes place preferably use a pivoted handlebar.

Je nach eingestellter Schwenklage des Toilettenbeckens kann ein Benutzer eine zugeordnete Griffstange aus der Nicht-Gebrauchslage, in der sie möglichst platzsparend an oder in der Raumwand angeordnet ist, in die Gebrauchslage schwenken, so daß er sich zuverlässig darauf abstützen kann. Aus handhabungstechnischen Gründen sollten dabei die Griff- bzw. Haltevorrichtungen in der Gebrauchs- und der Nicht-Gebrauchslage jeweils festlegbar und insbesondere verriegelbar oder verrastbar sein.Depending on the swivel position of the toilet bowl a user can select an associated handle from the Non-use position in which they are as space-saving as possible or is arranged in the room wall, in the position of use pivot so that he can rely on it reliably can. For reasons of handling technology should the handle or holding devices in the use and the non-use position can be determined and in particular can be locked or locked.

In der Praxis hat es sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, die Griff- bzw. Haltevorrichtung als rahmenartigen Haltebügel auszubilden, der über zwei auf gleicher Höhe angeordnete Horizontallager schwenkbar an der Sanitärraumwand angebracht ist. Die Horizontallager können dabei relativ weit auseinanderliegen und dadurch Biegemomente in günstiger Weise aufnehmen.In practice, it has proven to be beneficial Handle or holding device as a frame-like bracket to train, the two arranged at the same height Horizontal bearing attached to the wall of the sanitary room is. The horizontal bearings can be relatively far apart and thereby bending moments in cheaper Record wise.

Aus ergonomischen Gründen sollte das Toilettenbecken in einer in Draufsicht trapezförmigen Nische des Sanitärraums angeordnet sein, wodurch jeweils eine Griff- bzw. Haltevorrichtung an den gegenüberliegenden schrägen Seitenflächen der Nische angebracht ist. Auf diese Weise kann die Kraglänge, um die der Haltebügel in seiner Gebrauchsstellung von der Sanitärraumwand vorsteht, gering gehalten werden, so daß insgesamt eine hohe Stabilität für den Haltebügel gewährleistet ist.For ergonomic reasons, the toilet bowl should be in a trapezoidal niche of the sanitary room in plan view be arranged, whereby a handle or Holding device on the opposite slopes Side surfaces of the niche is attached. In this way can the cantilever length by which the bracket is in its Protrudes from the sanitary room wall, be kept low, so that overall a high stability is guaranteed for the bracket.

Nach Benutzung der Sanitärzelle ist neben der o.g. Reinigung des Toilettenbeckens auch eine Reinigung des Fußbodens der Sanitärzelle notwendig. Dies erfolgt in der Regel durch Aufbringen von Wasser und/oder Wasserdampf unter hohem Druck. Um ein geregeltes Abflußverhalten des aufgebrachten Wassers bzw. Wasserdampfes zu gewährleisten, ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, daß der Boden des Sanitärraums und/oder die darin eingelassene Bodenplatte geringfügig geneigt ist, wobei zur Kanalisierung des Wasserablaufes in dem Boden des Sanitärraums bzw. der Bodenplatte Abflußrillen vorgesehen sein können. Eine besonders einfache und wirkungsvolle Reinigung des Bodens läßt sich erzielen, wenn dieser aus mehreren Bodenabschnitten oder -platten besteht, von denen zumindest einige in eine aufgerichtete Stellung schwenkbar sind.After using the sanitary cell, in addition to the above cleaning the toilet bowl also cleaning the floor the sanitary cell necessary. This takes place in the Usually by applying water and / or water vapor under high pressure. In order to regulate the drainage behavior of the to ensure applied water or water vapor, is provided according to the invention that the bottom of the Sanitary room and / or the floor plate embedded therein is slightly inclined, channeling the Water drainage in the floor of the sanitary room or Bottom plate drain grooves can be provided. A particularly simple and effective cleaning of the floor can be achieved if this consists of several floor sections or plates, at least of which some are pivotable to an upright position.
