Definitions

  • the invention relates to the cleaning of public toilets.
  • the invention proposes a sanitary device according to claim 1.
  • This simplification makes it possible to increase the size of the nozzle and thus cover, during cleaning, the entire floor surface, to the benefit of the quality of the cleaning.
  • the surfaces of the neck are flat.
  • the profile comprises for example a pipe abutting the supply conduit, while the base may comprise a wall on which is mounted the profile, said wall having a notch for the passage of water, the right of which opens said tubing.
  • the supply duct is disposed between the base and the floor.
  • the supply duct is disposed in a channel formed in the basement.
  • the nozzle may comprise a baffle abutting said nipple and opening in the vicinity of the floor, said baffle being shaped to channel the flow so as to form a water jet tangent to said floor.
  • the deflector comprises, for the flow channeling, two facing cylindrical surfaces, which may each have a C- shaped section in section.
  • the frame comprises a side wall adjacent to the floor, in which wall is formed one of the converging surfaces of the neck.
  • a bin for the collection of garbage carried by the wash water, and a pump which, for the recycling of water, is connected on the one hand to the collector, and other part of the supply duct.
  • Figure 1 is shown a sanitary 1 to be placed on the public road to meet the needs of passersby.
  • This sanitary 1 comprises a frame 2 of generally prismatic shape having sidewalls (two of which referenced 3 and 4 are shown in FIG. 1) and a base 5 made of cast concrete, on which is laid a floor 6 whose upper surface 7 forms the sanitary floor 1.
  • the floor 6 is mounted floating and rests on studs 8 which is provided with the base 5 (for the sake of clarity, these pads are not represented on Figures 5 and 6).
  • Silent blocks (not shown) can be interposed between the floor 6 and the pads 8 to dampen the floor 6 and mute the sanitary 1 to improve comfort.
  • Sanitary 1 further comprises a cleaning device 9 of the ground 7 by water projection, which comprises at least one, and preferably - as shown in Figure 2 - two water supply conduits 10, 11 substantially parallel which are arranged under the floor 6, between the latter and the base 5, being respectively nested in two parallel channels 12 dug between two adjacent rows of studs 8.
  • a cleaning device 9 of the ground 7 by water projection which comprises at least one, and preferably - as shown in Figure 2 - two water supply conduits 10, 11 substantially parallel which are arranged under the floor 6, between the latter and the base 5, being respectively nested in two parallel channels 12 dug between two adjacent rows of studs 8.
  • the cleaning device 9 also comprises a nozzle 13 for distributing the water, connected to the ducts 10, 11 and opening out in the vicinity of the floor 6.
  • This nozzle 13 aims to form a substantially flat water blade which, when cleaning has been triggered - on demand or automatically - will scan the floor 7.
  • the nozzle 13 channels the flow so as to give it, from a circular section at the outlet of the ducts 10 and 11, a substantially rectangular section that is very flattened when it is projected onto the floor 7.
  • the nozzle 13 comprises, first, a bottleneck 14 which is connected to the ducts 10, 11 and, subsequently, a deflector 15 which is abutted at the neck 14 opposite the ducts 10 and 11.
  • the neck 14 has a V-shaped cross-section, and has two opposing planar surfaces that converge away from the ducts 10, 11, namely a lower surface 16 and an upper surface 17. .
  • the lower surface 16 is formed by the frame 2, in this case by the base 5, while the upper surface 17 is formed by a profile 18 reported, fixed to the frame 2.
  • downstream wing 20 is extended, on the opposite side to the upstream wing 19, by a folded edge 25 which, as we will see hereafter, facilitates the attachment of the deflector. 15.
  • the base 5 comprises a wall 26, formed by molding during the manufacture of the base 5, wall on which is mounted the profile 18.
  • This wall 26 has a front face 27, against which is applied the upstream wing 19 of the profile 18, and an upper face 28, against which is applied the downstream flange 20 of the profile 18 ( Figure 4).
  • the lower surface 16 of the neck 14 is formed by two inclined ramps 30a, 30b which, in plan view (FIG. 5), have a flattened mushroom-shaped profile and each comprise a first portion 31a, 31b of small width, delimited by FIG. notch 29a, 29b, extended by a second portion 32a, 32b of large width which goes flaring behind the wall 26, that is to say the opposite of the front face 27 thereof.
  • the second portions 32a, 32b of the ramps 30a, 30b are contiguous, so that the water coming from the two ducts 10 and 11 forms, at the end of the neck, a single stream of flattened rectangular section. .
  • the deflector 15 is in turn in the form of a one-piece metal profile, made for example by molding an aluminum alloy. To allow its mounting in the extension of the neck 14, a gap 34 is formed between the end 33 of the floor 6 and the side wall 4 opposite.
  • the deflector 15 is shaped to channel the flow exiting the neck 14 so as to form a stream of water tangential to the floor 6.
  • the deflector 15 comprises, for the channelization of the flow, two cylindrical, concentric walls, respectively internal 35 and external 36, having substantially the shape of gutters (that is to say they have a cross-sectional shape). of C), and whose internal facing surfaces define, in the extension of the neck 14, a duct 37 of flattened rectangular section which opens, through an opening 38 of rectangular section, above and in the vicinity of the ground 7.
  • the deflector 15 comprises a wall 39 which connects the upper and lower edges 41 of the inner cylindrical wall 35, this wall 39 having on the one hand, on the lower edge 41 side, a vertical portion 42 which is pressed against the edge folded 25 of the profile 18 and through which the deflector 15 is fixed to the profile 18, and, on the other hand, the side of the upper edge 40, a right angle return 43 which, with this upper edge 40, defines a housing 44 in which comes to fit the end 33 of the floor 6.
  • the external cylindrical wall 36 As for the external cylindrical wall 36, it extends, on the opposite side to the opening 38, beyond the inner wall 35, by a lip 45 which bears against the lower surface 16 of the neck 14, so that to stabilize the deflector 15 when it is in position.
  • the vertical portion 42 of the wall 39 and the lip 45 are provided with grooves 46, 47 in which are housed seals which are thus compressed between, respectively, the vertical portion 42 and the folded edge 25 on the one hand, the lip 45 and the lower surface 16 on the other hand.
  • the deflector 15 comprises a shelf 48 which extends cantilevered from the opening 38 to - or close to - the side wall 4.
  • a stiffening wing 49 connects the outer cylindrical wall 36 to the shelf 48, which extends, on the side of the wall 4, by a falling edge 50 which fits into a catch 51. to fix the deflector to the wall 4.
  • the embodiment of the nozzle 13, partly in the frame 2 of the sanitary 1 (in this case in the base 5) and partly by one (or more) inserts (in this case the profile 18 and the deflector 15) allows, by simplifying its manufacture, to increase the dimensions of the nozzle 13, which is not particularly limited in width (that is to say, perpendicular to the flow). It is therefore possible to run the nozzle 13 over the entire side wall 4, so that the cleaning water is completely sweeping the surface 7 of the floor 6.
  • the water supplied by the ducts 10, 11 to the nozzle 13 is projected through the opening 38 to form a plane blade which sweeps the floor 6 in a direction opposite to the side wall 4.
  • the floor 6 is inclined so as to drain the washing water to a tank 52 for collecting garbage (paper, cans, etc.) carried by the water during the cleaning, this garbage is then picked up by the maintenance staff.
  • garbage paper, cans, etc.
  • the surface 7 thereof is preferably grooved (at 53 in FIG. 4), parallel to the direction of propagation of the water, that is to say ie, perpendicular to the side wall 4. In this way, the washing water which circulates in the grooves causes the separation of the refuse and their entrainment towards the tank 52.
  • the water circuit of the cleaning device 9 can be closed: it comprises for this purpose a pump 54 connected on the one hand to the tank 52, where it takes the water having already served, and other by the supply ducts 10, 11, in which it propels to the nozzle 13 water from the tray 52.
  • the majority of the garbage can be retained in the tank 52, for example by means of a grid (not shown), it can remain in the water impurities in suspension. In order to rid the dirty water of these impurities, it is sufficient to equip the pump 54 with a filter, possibly removable so as to allow its replacement or cleaning when it is deemed necessary.
  • connection sleeves 24 on the pipes 22, 23 are connected to the ducts 10, 11 by fitting the sleeves 24 to the ducts 10, 11.
  • the ducts 10, 11 are then installed in their respective channels 12 after having connected them to the pump (FIG. 2), while the profile 18 is fitted on the wall 26 and the falling edge 50 is fitted on the cleat 51.
  • the floor 6 is then mounted by fitting its end 33 in the housing 44.
  • the invention is not limited to this particular structure.
  • the nozzle 13 will extend vertically against the side wall 4 which, instead of the base 5 as described above, will thus form the bottom surface of the neck, so that the simplicity of manufacture and assembly of the nozzle will be preserved.
