Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vakuumtoilette, aufweisend ein Becken mit im oberen Beckenbereich angeordneten Spüldüsen und einem Absperrventil in der im unteren Beckenbereich angeschlossenen Ablaufleitung.The invention relates to a vacuum toilet, comprising a basin with rinsing nozzles arranged in the upper basin area and a shut-off valve in the lower pool area connected drain line.
Bei einem bekannten Wasserklosett (US 2 778 029 A) ist ein Überlauf im Becken vorgesehen, um das Überströmen von Wasser im Verstopfungsfall zu verhindern, allerdings handelt es sich hier nicht um eine Vakuumtoilette.In a known water closet (US 2,778,029 A) is a Overflow provided in the pool to prevent water from overflowing to prevent in the event of constipation, however not a vacuum toilet.
Bei einer weiteren bekannten Toilette (JP-A-6173324 (abstract)) ist ein Becken mit (implizit) im oberen Beckenbereich angeordneten Spüldüsen und einer im unteren Beckenbereich angeschlossenen Ablaufleitung vorgesehen, wobei im unteren Beckenbereich eine Leitung angeschlossen ist, die von dorther nach oben führt und auf einer Höhe etwas unterhalb der Spüldüsen durch ein automatisches Einwegluftventil offen endet. Bei geschlossenern Ventil kann jedoch nicht verhindert werden, dass verunreinigtes Spülwasser in den Frischwasserkreislauf gelangt.In another known toilet (JP-A-6173324 (abstract)) is a Basin with (implicitly) arranged in the upper basin area Flushing nozzles and a drain line connected in the lower pool area are provided, a line being connected in the lower pool area from there leads upwards and at a height slightly below the flushing nozzles automatic one-way air valve ends open. With the valve closed However, contaminated rinse water cannot be prevented from reaches the fresh water circuit.
Bei weiterhin bekannten Vakuumtoiletten (GB 2 054 688 A, US 3 956 776 A) sind zwar Überlaufrohre vorgesehen, diese lassen jedoch im Verstopfungsfall einen solch hohen Wasserstand im Becken zu, dass das Wasser mit den Spüldüsen in Kontakt kommen kann, was jedoch nicht zugelassen werden darf.In known vacuum toilets (GB 2 054 688 A, US 3 956 776 A) overflow pipes are provided, leave them however in the event of a blockage such a high water level in the Basin to allow the water to come into contact with the flushing nozzles can, but what must not be allowed.
Bei derartigen Vakuumtoiletten können Betriebsbedingungen eintreten, die höchst unerwünscht sind und zum Teil fatale Folgen haben können.With such vacuum toilets, operating conditions can occur that are highly undesirable and sometimes fatal Can have consequences.
Wenn beispielsweise die Zufuhr von Spülwasser zu den Spüldüsen auf Grund irgendeines Fehlers nicht abgestellt wird, läuft das Spülwasser in das Becken und kann nicht nach unten auslaufen, da das Absperrventil geschlossen ist. In diesem Falle steigt der Wasserspiegel im Becken an und kann schliesslich soweit gelangen, dass die Spüldüsen mit dem Spülwasser im Becken in Berührung kommen, so dass hierdurch eine unerwünschte Verbindung vom mehr oder weniger verunreinigten Spülwasser zum Frischwasserkreislauf entstehen kann. Sollte z.B. durch einen Defekt im Frischwassersystem ein Sog entstehen, würde verunreinigtes Wasser aus der Toilette in das Frischwassersystem gelangen. Dies muß jedoch ausgeschlossen werden. Die bislang hier eingesetzte Sicherungsmaßnahme wäre eine zum Frischwasserkreislauf zusätzliche Installation eines separaten Spülwasserkreislaufes, also eine verhältnismäßig kostenintensive Maßnahme. If, for example, the supply of rinse water to the rinse nozzles is not shut down due to some error, it runs Rinse water into the basin and cannot leak down, because the shut-off valve is closed. In this case it increases the water level in the pool is on and can finally go as far that the flushing nozzles with the flushing water in the basin Come into contact, making this an undesirable connection from more or less contaminated rinse water to Fresh water cycle can arise. Should e.g. through a Defect in the fresh water system would result in suction contaminated water from the toilet into the fresh water system reach. However, this must be excluded. The security measure used up to now would be one of Fresh water circuit additional installation of a separate Flushing water circuit, so a relatively cost-intensive Measure.
Weiterhin ist denkbar, daß in Fällen unsachgemäßen Gebrauchs bei bekannten Vakuumtoiletten und insbesondere bei solchen, die in Flugzeugen betrieben werden, wobei der Unterdruck außerhalb des sich in großer Höhe bewegenden Flugzeuges als Fördermittel eingesetzt wird, dass durch die Sogwirkung des Vakuums Gegenstände oder Körperteile eines Menschen angesaugt werden und die Gefahr von Sach- und ernsthaften Körperverletzungen besteht.It is also conceivable that in cases of improper use in known vacuum toilets and especially in those which are operated in aircraft, the negative pressure outside of the aircraft moving at high altitude as Funding is used that through the suction of the Vacuum objects or body parts of a human being sucked in become and the danger of material and serious There is physical injury.
Die Erfindunmg beschäftigt sich mit derartigen Mängeln bekannter Vakuumtoiletten und erreicht eine wirksame Abhilfe dadurch, dass bei einer Vakuumtoilette der eingangs genannten Art im unteren Beckenbereich oder im Abflußbereich eine aus dem Becken heraus führende Leitung angeschlossen ist, die von dorther nach oben führt und auf einer Höhe etwas unterhalb der Spüldüsen offen endet.The invention deals with such defects known vacuum toilets and achieves an effective remedy in that in a vacuum toilet the above Kind in the lower pool area or in the drainage area one from the pool out leading line is connected, which leads from there up and something at a height ends open below the rinsing nozzles.
Auf Grund der kommunizierend angeschlossenen Rohrleitung kann der höchstmögliche Wasserpegel in dem Becken dadurch festgelegt werden, dass das Ende dieser Rohrleitung auf die gewünschte geodätische Höhe festgelegt wird. Liefern die Spüldüsen also Spülwasser in das Becken bei geschlossenem Ventil nach, so ist der krasseste Fall, der eintreten kann, der, dass über das nach oben offene Ende der Rohrleitung das Spülwasser austritt. Es kann in keinem Fall dazu kommen, dass der Wasserstand im Becken die Höhe der Düsen erreicht, eine Beeinträchtigung des Frischwasserkreislaufes ist damit ausgeschlossen.Due to the communicating connected pipeline the highest possible water level in the pool be determined that the end of this pipeline to the desired geodetic height is determined. Deliver the Rinsing nozzles so rinsing water into the pool when closed Valve, so the most glaring case that can occur of that over the open end of the pipeline Rinsing water escapes. Under no circumstances can it happen that the water level in the pool reaches the height of the nozzles, one This affects the fresh water circuit locked out.
Beim Absaugvorgang der Vakuumtoilette gemäß der Erfindung wirkt die Vakuumquelle nicht nur auf die Masse im Becken sondern auch auf die Flüssigkeit ein, die in der Rohrleitung vorhanden ist. Die Ablaufmasse und die Flüssigkeit werden mit Hilfe der Saugkraft des Vakuums angezogen, und, nachdem sich die Rohrleitung entleert hat, wird Luft angesaugt, so dass in keinem Fall, z.B. bei Benutzung der Toilette ohne Toilettensitz und denkbarer vollständiger Abdichtung des Beckenrandes mit dem Körper der benutzenden Person eine solche Sogwirkung im Becken erzeugt werden kann, durch die Körperteile oder Gegenstände angezogen werden können.When vacuuming the vacuum toilet according to the invention the vacuum source not only affects the mass in the pool but also on the liquid in the pipeline is available. The drainage mass and the liquid are with With the help of the suction force of the vacuum attracted, and after itself has drained the pipeline, air is sucked in so that in no case, e.g. when using the toilet without Toilet seat and conceivable complete sealing of the Pool edge with the body of the person using such a Suction can be generated in the pelvis by Body parts or objects can be attracted.
Es kommt noch hinzu, dass durch geeignete Dimensionierung dieser zusätzlichen Rohrleitung hinsichtlich des Innendurchmessers oder einer Drosselstelle erreicht werden kann, dass die angesaugte Masse in gewisser Weise fluidisiert wird, so dass sich insgesamt die Verhältnisse beim Absaugen günstiger darstellen.It also adds that by appropriate sizing this additional pipeline in terms of Inside diameter or a throttle point can be reached can that the sucked mass fluidized in some way is, so that the overall conditions when vacuuming represent cheaper.
Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand der Zeichnung beispielsweise erläutert.The invention is described below with reference to the drawing for example explained.
Die einzige Figur der Zeichnung zeigt eine schaubildliche Darstellung einer Vakuumtoilette im Vertikalschnitt.The only figure in the drawing shows a graphic Vertical section of a vacuum toilet.
In der Figur ist mit 10 das Becken einer Vakuumtoilette
bezeichnet. Im unteren Teil des Beckens befindet sich eine
Absaugleitung, die durch ein Ventil 20 abgesperrt werden kann.
Mit dem Pfeil 30 ist die Richtung des Förderns der Ablaufmasse
bzw. die Kraftwirkung des Vakuums angedeutet.In the figure, the pool of a vacuum toilet is at 10
designated. There is one in the lower part of the pool
Suction line that can be shut off by a
Im oberen Teil des Beckens befinden sich mehrere Spüldüsen 11,
die auf einer geodätischen Höhe H1 angeordnet sind und deren
Sinn und Zweck bekannt ist. Vorschriften verlangen, dass diese
Spüldüsen 11 mit dem sich in dem Becken 10 sammelnden Wasser
nicht in Berührung kommen dürfen, was, wie bereits ausgeführt,
bei bekannten Toiletten aber nicht sichergestellt werden kann.In the upper part of the basin there are several flushing
Im unteren Bereich des Beckens 10, etwa in der Rohrleitung
jedenfalls strömungsmäßig vor dem Absperrventil 20, ist eine
Leitung 13 angeschlossen, welche in einem Bereich 12 nach oben
hin ansteigt und schliesslich auf einer Höhe H2 bei 14 nach
außen hin offen endet.In the lower area of the
Es ist ersichtlich, dass kein Flüssigkeitsstand im Becken über
die geodätische Höhe H2 hinausgehen kann, weil in diesem Fall
über die Leitung 12 und das offene Ende 14 Wasser abfließen
kann.It can be seen that there is no fluid level in the pool above
the geodetic height H2 can go out because in this case
