Definitions

  • the present innovation refers to the field of devices for eliminating odours in sanitary fittings, and in detail refers to a device for eliminating odours in flush type sanitary fittings.
  • blind rooms There are also toilets totally without outwards windows or equivalent openings (the so-called blind rooms), that typically need suction systems for foul air by means of a fan.
  • These systems usually comprise a suction means that is typically a tangential or wing fan, mounted on a structure at least partially built in the superior part of a wall or on the ceiling of the toilet; the fan is activated by an electric motor, usually by means of a direct transmission with shaft, so that it has a function of air suction from the toilet outwards.
  • a suction means that is typically a tangential or wing fan, mounted on a structure at least partially built in the superior part of a wall or on the ceiling of the toilet; the fan is activated by an electric motor, usually by means of a direct transmission with shaft, so that it has a function of air suction from the toilet outwards.
  • a pipe for air exsegmention is connected to the fan, and it is usually embedded into a wall of the building within the toilet is placed, so that the aspirated air can be brought to a flue or outside the building.
  • the document GB2327095A presents some disadvantages; first of all, actually, the fan, that the document describes as built in a wall, does not solve the need of realizing considerable finishings for the installation and this is a factor even more important if the apparatus is installed after the creation of the building wall. Secondly, when the fan is deactivated, there is also the risk that part of the odours of the exterior of the building ascends along the pipe (for example owing to an air convective phenomenon - as when the internal room is very hot and high and the exterior of the building is cold: owing to the thermal convection the air would reenter the pipe toward the sanitary fitting). Finally, it is necessary to have an easy access to the exterior of the building or to an air outlet pipe, so that the apparatus described in the document efficiently works.
  • a device for eliminating odours comprising ventilation means connected to a flushing duct of a water bowl connecting said water bowl to a flushing tank, and wherein said ventilation means are placed outside said flushing tank.
  • the purpose of the present innovation is to describe a device for eliminating odours for flush type sanitary fittings that is free from the above described drawbacks.
  • a device for eliminating odours for flush type sanitary fittings is realized as claimed in the first claim.
  • the number 1 indicates a device for eliminating odours in flush type sanitary fittings in its complex.
  • the device 10 comprises at least an inlet pipe 20, a suction box 30 and an outlet pipe 40.
  • a sanitary fitting 1, in figure 1 a toilet bowl, is fixed to a floor 100 of a building and possesses a drain 2 provided with siphon 3 after which it is present a black water outlet pipe 4 connected to the sewerage system of the building.
  • the sanitary fitting 1 is connected to a first end of a water outlet pipe 5, that is connected at a second end to a tank 6 for the storage of flush water positioned at a height higher than the one of the sanitary fitting 1.
  • the inlet pipe 20 of the device 10 is connected to the water outlet pipe 5.
  • said water outlet pipe 5 possesses a vertical segment under said tank 6 and an oblique segment of union with the sanitary fitting 1
  • the inlet pipe 20 is connected below the vertical segment, so that it is not directly invested by the falling water and is nearer to the sanitary fitting 1 as well.
  • the outlet pipe 40 departs from the suction box 30 being also connected to the black waters outlet pipe 4.
  • the tank 6, that is of a known type, is typically provided with a lever 7 or analogous mechanism for operating the water flushing, that provides for raising a cap 8 positioned at the bottom of the tank itself by acting on a hoisting cylinder 9.
  • the device 10 comprises, within the suction box 30:
  • the fan 31 is supplied with electrical power, that can originate either from the mains power supply 34 (120 - 220 - 240 Vac, depending on the country wherein the device is installed) or from a low voltage direct current supply or from a battery. Clearly, if the civil mains power supply is used, it can be necessary to use a potential divider for supplying the fan.
  • the fan 31 is also connected to the siphon 32.
  • the fan 31 When the sanitary fitting 1 is not in use, the fan 31 is deactivated, it does not rotate, and therefore the air is not aspirated by the interior 1a of the sanitary fitting 1.
  • a quantity of water 33 is present, deriving from the tank 6 at the time of the last flushing made.
  • a sensor of presence 35 When a user of the sanitary fitting 1 starts to use it, for example by sitting on it or by coming near it, a sensor of presence 35 is activated.
  • This sensor of presence 35 is electrically connected to the fan 31 by means of a cable 34b and in the easiest conditions, acts as switch of the supply 34, activating thus the fan 31 that begins to aspirate air by pushing therefore away the water 33 from the siphon 32.
  • the sensor of presence 35 schematically shown in figure 2 as a switch positioned under a support axis 1' of the sanitary fitting 1, can be for example but not limiting to it a sensor of pressure positioned under a seat board of the sanitary fitting or an infrared sensor. In this last case the sensor can be positioned also in remote position with respect to the sanitary fitting 1, provided that it frames the area above the sanitary fitting itself.
  • the odours cannot ascend from the black waters outlet pipe 4 because of the presence of the siphon 32 of the sanitary fitting 1, and thus they are necessarily retained at the base of it.
  • the odours cannot be aspirated from any other part, because the water outlet pipe 5 is closed.
  • the sensor of presence 35 deactivates, blocking the functioning of the fan 31.
  • the cap 8 is lifted up from the lower edge of the tank 6; the water contained in it descending along the water outlet pipe 5 partly passes through the inlet pipe 20, through the fan 31, thus cleaning the siphon 32 and finally discharging itself in the black waters outlet pipe 4 being passed within the outlet pipe 40. Therefore, the filter constituted by the water 33 within the siphon 32 is restored each time the flushing of the sanitary fitting 1 is activated.
  • a tank 6' can be provided with an overflow outlet pipe 9', that permits the outlet of excessive water in case of failure or blocking of the traditional float for limiting the water level present in the most part of the tanks 6 of known type.
  • the overflow outlet pipe 9' is positioned coaxially to the cap 8 and fixed to it so that it is lifted up together, when the outlet lever 7 is activated.
  • the overflow outlet pipe 9' can be closed during all the time the sensor 35 is activated, so that to ensure that the air and the bad smells suction does not come also from the water outlet pipe 5 but only from the sanitary fitting 1.
  • a second preferred form of embodiment of the device according to the present innovation comprises also a second float 50, positioned within the tank 6' so that:
  • This effect can be obtained for example by realizing the cap 60 in floating material and by mounting the second float 50 and the cap 60 on a tilting mechanism.
  • the advantages of the device for eliminating odours for flush type sanitary fittings are known considering the above description.
  • it permits the easy elimination of odours by aspirating the air directly from the interior of the sanitary fitting, not permitting or anyhow minimizing their dispersion within the toilet.
  • the device according to the present innovation permits to convey the air aspirated from the sanitary fitting directly within the sewerage system and, therefore, does not need considerable finishings for the connection for example to a flue or an equivalent pipe for the discharge of vapours and air nor protrusions on the exterior of the building, thus permitting the installation also in buildings of particular historical value.
  • the device according to the present innovation permits the suction of air only from the sanitary fitting 1, even if the tank for the water storage 6 is provided with an overflow outlet pipe that, in this case, is appropriately closed with a cap.
  • the relative position of siphon and fan can be inverted with respect to what has been up to here described, without changing the efficacy of functioning of the present device.
  • the sanitary fitting 1 is supplied by a tank 6, said tank can be substituted by a water supply pipe under pressure, openable and reclosable for example by means of a cock; in this case the first form of embodiment of the device here described can be applied without substantial changes.
