Definitions

  • the present invention refers to an automatic cleaning system for sanitary fittings.
  • the invented system has been designed in an optimum way to enable the cleaning and disinfection of the sanitary fitting in question with fluids such as water, alone or mixed with detergents or disinfectants, at ambient temperature or heated, also undertaking the drying of the fitting without needing to move it or fit flexible or quick-release connections to the drainage or water supply networks, and, of course, without people intervening.
  • fluids such as water, alone or mixed with detergents or disinfectants
  • the system comprises an impermeable awning that retracts from and back to a position preferably hidden in a housing made in the floor, ceiling or wall adjacent to the sanitary fitting to which it may be fixed, in the case of urinals or wash-basins, for example, and also lavatories.
  • the awning automatically unfolds, totally covering the sanitary fitting externally.
  • the unfolding of the awning will be 90° or 180°, depending on whether it is carried out from the floor or wall, whether the sanitary fitting rests on or is semi-attached to the floor or wall, or vertically unfolded if it is done from the ceiling.
  • a pressurized fluid sprayer system such as water, hot water or water with detergents, disinfectants or waxes, heated or not, is fitted inside.
  • the sprayers may eject steam to help cleaning and disinfection under extreme conditions.
  • These sprayers are logically internally and externally pointed at the sanitary fitting, and may be embodied in any way that carries out this function.
  • suitable drainage means preferably fitted in the bathroom floor, are included.
  • the system may optionally include at least one turbine that would direct a possibly heated airflow towards the sanitary fitting to dry it after the cleaning process.
  • the cleaning process implies unfolding the awning, spraying with the fluids and optional drying, then retracting the awning, obtaining optimum cleaning and drying of the sanitary fitting.
  • a variation of the invention consists of making the awning or covering from a blind with impermeable, anticorrosive materials (PVC, aluminium, etc.), which retracts into a housing fitted inside the wall or floor, guided by means of fixed, lateral guides or guides inserted inside the walls, or lateral partitions facing each other that flank the sanitary fitting.
  • PVC impermeable, anticorrosive materials
  • the sprayers are fitted in accordance with this embodiment, as much to the inner part of blind, as under the grating comprising the whole or a large part of the floor in the area covered by the blind when it is closed, under which the drainage as well as technical area in simple installations are also fitted.
  • Some of these sprayers mainly clean the inside of the sanitary fitting and others, especially those located under the grating, its outer parts.
  • the sprayers may be pointed towards the inside of the awning or blind, and are intended to clean away the projected material from this area that may be produced during the cleaning of the sanitary fitting, since otherwise it would accumulate in this zone.
  • the invented system 1 comprises a retractable awning 2 made of impermeable material that automatically unfolds by means of a hydraulic piston 3, with a double effect in this non-restrictive example of the invention, completely covering the sanitary fitting 3a to be cleaned and disinfected, including its inside, whereas in the opposite direction it stays folded up inside a double partition fitted to the wall that the sanitary fitting is attached or close to. Likewise, it could be vertically unfolded from the ceiling, or operated differently, for example, electrically.
  • the simplest embodiment of the awning would be by means of linked rods 4 and impermeable canvas 5, though other similar solutions are acceptable, such as impermeable, warped telescopic pieces 6 (metallic, plastic, etc.), as seen in figure 2.
  • the inside of the awning has a set of sprayers 7 that eject pressurized fluid, such as water, water mixed in a solution of disinfectants, detergents or waxes, heated water or even steam, and pointed at the sanitary fitting so that the fluid carries out its cleaning and disinfection.
  • pressurized fluid such as water, water mixed in a solution of disinfectants, detergents or waxes, heated water or even steam
  • the sprayers may be embodied in different ways, though it seems a logical solution to fit them in the linked rods 4, the rods therefore forming pipes.
  • FIG. 3 Another possible embodiment, which may be seen in figure 3, would be by means of a semicircular or semi-elliptical pipe 8, unfolding automatically inside the awning, which, by the action of a piston for example, would carry out an upwards/downwards sweep, the sprayers 7 being fitted inside its pipe.
  • a hidden area preferably in a hole 9 opened in the wall or floor 10, fitted with a cover, not shown, and easily accessible for maintenance, has a technical zone with at least one pump to spray the pressurized water, a water storage tank 12 fitted with an inner heater 13, and other additional tanks 14 for disinfectants or biodegradable detergents as well as brightening waxes, with the corresponding system, not shown, to automatically mix the water that flows from the tank and is going to be used in the cleaning of the sanitary fitting.
  • the technical area shall likewise include the valves 15 necessary to drive the pistons and system fluids.
  • a boiler 16 with a heater 16a to generate and accumulate steam for steam cleaning.
  • a turbo-ventilator 17 may be fitted in the hole 9 with a heating resistance 18 to generate a hot air flow that will dry the sanitary fitting after washing and disinfection. This flow will be released through nozzles, not shown, suitably fitted inside the awning, in the walls, floor or ceiling delimiting the enclosure together with the awning housing the sanitary fitting.
  • the invention likewise comprises the floor installation of drainage means to collect the water used in the cleaning.
  • the drainage means consist of a drain hidden by a large-sized grating 19. This water may be accumulated and treated, or emptied into the drainage network.
  • the invention likewise considers multiple sanitary installations for cleaning several bathrooms, for example, in stations, gyms, concert halls, military installations and suchlike.
  • the technical area is shared by several sanitary fittings, simplifying space and equipment requirements.
  • the awning 2 is made up of a blind-type cover 2', whose plates are obviously made from impermeable, anticorrosive material, such as PVC or aluminium.
  • This blind is guided by means of guides 20 embedded in the side walls 21 that are opposite and close to each other, extendable, depending on the distance between these walls and resistance of the plates, to take in or cover several sanitary fittings.
  • the blind by means of a motor 26, automatically retracts into a housing 22 fitted in the wall.
  • a grating 27 is fitted, under which the drain 28 that drains the water is installed, as well as the technical area with the tanks for liquid, water, waxes and detergents, etc., not shown.
  • This area likewise contains sprayers 29 pointed towards the outside of the sanitary fitting 30, cleaning its outer part.
  • Sprayers 31 that clean the inside of the sanitary fitting are fitted inside the blind.
  • Sprayers may also be fitted under the floor or blind, or in any suitable inner part of the cover, and pointed towards the awning or blind in order to eliminate any waste that might be washed out during cleaning, which will flow towards the drain.
