Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical sector of devices and processes for removing odors from the toilet, and allows them to be evacuated directly or recycle after filtration / deodorization appropriate.
  • VMC suction powers are normalized or imposed by technical constraints and / or comfort (noise), which prohibits increasing too much suction force.
  • FIG. 1 plans to drill through a conduit 6 the back of the bowl, which would be extremely expensive and is therefore unrealistic.
  • FIG. 2 also describes the piercing of the entire tank and is careful not to propose any technical solution for the connection with the bowl, merely representing a purely theoretical solution. It will be seen that the problems thus left unresolved are precisely those which are the most difficult to solve.
  • the document in question is limited to proposing a "riser” the disadvantage of which is not to be easily adaptable, to force the modification of existing sanitary facilities, and especially of the arrival of water, and to pose often, in the long run, sealing problems, etc.
  • US-A-2, 279, 789 discloses an air suction system of the bowl which has a cut forming a permanent siphon around the top end of the overflow tube and the end bottom of a forced suction tube.
  • Such a system poses in particular the problem of hygiene, because of the existence of a permanent siphon whose cleaning is only possible by the filling water, that is to say than very imperfectly.
  • the flow of stale air is passed through the top of the flush tank, and an air intake is provided on the one hand allows correct flush operation despite the sealing of the top of the tank, and secondly is designed according to an extremely simple layout that prohibits any communication between stale air and outside.
  • the invention also provides significant improvements over this document.
  • the present invention relates to an improvement to the system which just described, which allows among other improvements to remove the external air intake and to avoid contact between the water of the flush tank and stale air. This avoids any risk of bacterial proliferation.
  • the exhaust air is sucked at its source, that is to say at the level of the interior of the bowl, by a continuous duct which connects inside the bowl at the suction port of a ventilation mechanical.
  • this tube incorporates or integrates the overflow tube of the tank.
  • the sanitary comprises a bowl C and a flush tank 1 having a lid 2.
  • the cuvette C communicates via a conduit 10 (provided in the original sanitary) with the lower part of the flush tank, whose operating device comprises a valve 9 and a tube 7 which may be used as an overflow tube for the tank.
  • the flush control system is known and was not represented.
  • the valve 9 and the tube 7 are of types known and do not have to be detailed.
  • the general principle of the invention lies in the permanent suction of air vitiated by a continuous duct incorporating or integrating the overflow tube flush, leading directly to the taking of VM, and comprising a device ensuring the function of the overflow without contacting the water with stale air.
  • One of the improvements of the invention is to use the parts and original ducts, with a modification of the tank even more only in the application FR 97 06935 mentioned above.
  • the stale air generated in the bowl C is continuously sucked by mechanical ventilation VM, passing through the original duct 10 and the flush duct 7 also of origin, before being evacuated via line 4 which extends the conduit 10, the assembly leads 10 - conduit 7 - conduit 4 forming the conduit of the invention.
  • the continuous duct can be manufactured directly in the industry, or can be manufactured into separated to connect to known sanitary systems.
  • said continuous tube can pass directly through the lid 2 tank to connect directly to the VM without dipping into water as in the accompanying figures.
  • the conduit continuously extends the overflow tube 7 upwards and then is bent towards the bottom so as to come out of the tank at any point of the invisible tank for an observer, where he is connected to the socket of VM.
  • the continuous conduit incorporates or integrates the tube completely overflow 7, but the invention also covers the variants accessible directly to the skilled person and where the continuous conduit incorporates or only partially integrates the overflow tube 7.
  • the difficulty to solve came from the fact that it was necessary to keep the overflow function of the tube 7 without creating a loss of load on the suction and without bringing into contact the stale air and the water of the reservoir, in order, over long periods, not to create conditions which could be conducive to bacterial overgrowth.
  • the distance (e) is the distance that ensures the tightness of the system, for efficient operation without loss of pressure during the suction phase in the bowl. This distance will generally be of the order of a few millimeters to a few centimeters.
  • the invention therefore relates to a device for evacuate the stale air of toilet bowls, characterized in that has a continuous duct directly connecting the inside of the bowl C to a VM suction source, this duct incorporating or integrating the tube overflow 7, and having a bell 20 open downwards, secured to the tube 7 and surrounding this tube on the outside, the upper part 25 of the bell being placed above the normal level 6 of the water in the tank full while the bottom edge 27 of the bell is finds himself dipped from a height "e" under this same level, and that one or several orifices 30 are further arranged in the duct 7 to the interior of this conduit in communication with the interior volume of the bell, above normal level of water 6 and below level maximum safe for the water in the tank.
  • the invention also relates to sanitary toilets equipped with these devices.
  • VMC mechanical ventilation or VMC may be used if there is one, or install an auxiliary mechanical ventilation if no mechanical ventilation exists.
  • the invention also relates to a method for discharging stale air from toilet bowls, characterized in that that the exhaust air is sucked by a device such as claims.
  • the invention relates to a variant where the device for evacuating stale air of toilet bowls incorporates or fully integrates the overflow tube 7, as well as the variants, which will be directly accessible to the skilled person ,. where the continuous conduit incorporates or integrates only partially the overflow tube 7.
  • the device for evacuating stale air from toilet bowls is characterized in that the continuous duct extends up a tube 7 overflow then is bent down so as to come out of the tank at any point in the tank invisible to an observer, where he is connected to the VM socket.
