Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf Verbesserungen von oder in Bezug auf Sanitärkeramik und insbesondere auf Verfahren zur Bereitstellung hygienischer Maßnahmen in Sanitärbecken in verbesserter Weise.The present invention relates to improvements in or relating to sanitary ware, and more particularly to methods for providing sanitary measures in sanitary ware wells in an improved manner.

Die Erfindung findet Anwendung in jeglichem Zusammenhang, in dem Sanitärkeramik benutzt wird, wie z.B. in Haushalts- oder Geschäftstoiletten und in öffentlichen Urinalen. Allerdings ist sie in besonderem Maße auf öffentliche sanitäre Einrichtungen wie Urinale anwendbar, in denen eine große Anzahl von Urinalbecken in hygienischem Zustand zu halten ist.The invention finds application in any context in which sanitary ware is used, such as e.g. in household or business toilets and public urinals. However, it is particularly applicable to public sanitary facilities such as urinals, where a large number of urinal basins are kept in a sanitary condition.

Es ist bekannt, dass bei herkömmlicher Ausstattung hygienische Produkte innerhalb der Zisterne einer Toilette benutzt werden, um die Schüssel der Toilette in hygienischem Zustand zu halten. Weiterhin ist hinsichtlich Urinalbecken bekannt, dass Behäfterchen mit flüssigen Hygienechemikalien (wie z.B. bei Rentokil Initial erhältlich) an den oberen Teil des Urinalbeckens gehängt werden, so dass eine geringe Menge der flüssigen Hygienechemikalien dem (letzten Teil) des Spülwassers zugeführt wird. So ist die Hygienechemikalie im letzten Teil des Spülwassers vorhanden, um (bestenfalls) dazu beizutragen, die Schüssel und den Siphon des Urinalbeckens sauber und hygienisch zu halten.It is known that, with conventional equipment, hygienic products are used inside the cistern of a toilet to keep the bowl of the toilet in a hygienic condition. Furthermore, with respect to urinal basins, it is known that liquid hygiene chemicals (such as those available from Rentokil Initial) are hung on the upper part of the urinal basin, so that a small amount of the liquid hygiene chemicals are supplied to the (last part) of the rinse water. Thus, the sanitary chemical is present in the last part of the rinse water to (at best) help to keep the bowl and siphon of the urinal basin clean and hygienic.

Ein weiteres Problem besteht darin, dass flüssige Hygienechemikalien mehr Raum zur Lagerung in Mengen beanspruchen und schneller aufgebraucht sein können. Wenn Schachteln oder Behälter der Hygienechemikalien an den oberen Teil eines Urinalbeckens gehängt werden, sieht dies unschön aus und begünstigt Beschädigung oder Diebstahl. Ferner sind bei flüssigen Hygieneprodukten normalerweise Schutzkleidung oder Auffüllausrüstung wie Spritzen erforderlich.Another problem is that liquid hygiene chemicals can take up more space for storage in quantities and can be used up faster. If boxes or containers of hygiene chemicals are hung on the upper part of a urinal bowl, it will look ugly and favors damage or theft. Furthermore, liquid hygiene products normally require protective clothing or refilling equipment such as syringes.

Dokument GB 826 603 A zeigt einen Sanitärbecken, der integral innerhalb des Sanitärbeckens eine Hischanordnung für Hygieneprodukt aufweist.document GB 826 603 A shows a sanitary basin having integrally within the sanitary basin a Hischanordnung for hygiene product.

In der Beschreibung und den Zeichnungen werden zur Bezeichnung der gleichen Elemente die gleichen Ziffern benutzt. Falls nicht anders angegeben, können individuelle Gestaltungsmerkmale und -komponenten in Kombination mit beliebigen anderen Designmerkmalen und -komponenten verwendet werden, die in hierin offenbart sind.In the description and the drawings, the same numerals are used to designate the same elements. Unless otherwise stated, individual design features and components may be used in combination with any other design features and components disclosed herein.

Figur 1 zeigt die Vorderansicht eines Urinalbeckens 102 gemäß einer Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung. Das Urinalbecken 102 weist eine Schüssel 104 auf, in die ein Benutzer uriniert, wobei die Schüssel 104 eine im Wesentlichen vertikale Rückwand 106 besitzt. In einer unteren Wand 107 der Schüssel 104 befindet sich ein unterer Auslass 108, der an die untere Leitung 110 angeschlossen ist (in den Unterlagen), durch die Urin und Spülwasser nach Verwendung ablaufen. Bei bekannten Systemen kann das Spülwasser automatisch in das Urinalbecken 102 übergeleitet werden (z.B. durch Betätigung eines Ventils, das an einen Infrarotdetektor gekoppelt ist) ausgehend von einer nicht dargestellten Wassersäule. FIG. 1 shows the front view of a urinal basin 102 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The urinal basin 102 has a bowl 104 into which a user urinates, the bowl 104 having a substantially vertical rear wall 106. In a lower wall 107 of the bowl 104 is a lower outlet 108 which is connected to the lower conduit 110 (in the documents) through which urine and rinse water drain after use. In known systems, the rinse water can be automatically transferred to the urinal basin 102 (eg, by actuating a valve coupled to an infrared detector) from a water column, not shown.

Im oberen Teil 112 des Urinalbeckens 102 ist eine (in die Keramik eingebaute) Mischanordung 114 angeordnet. Die Mischanordnung 114 umfasst eine Mischkammer 116, der via die Zulaufleitung 118 Spülwasser zugeführt wird (z.B. sobald der Infrarotsensor wahrgenommen hat, dass sich der Benutzer vom Urinalbecken 102 wegbewegt hat). Die Mischkammer 116 ist an die Schüssel 104 durch eine Anzahl von Ablaufleitungen 120 (hier sieben) angeschlossen, und bei Verwendung fällt Spülwasser unter dem Einfluss der Gewichtskraft durch die Ablaufleitungen 120 auf die Rückwand 106.In the upper part 112 of the urinal basin 102 a built (in the ceramic) Mischanordung 114 is arranged. The mixing assembly 114 includes a mixing chamber 116 which is supplied with rinse water via the feed line 118 (e.g., once the infrared sensor has sensed that the user has moved away from the urinal basin 102). The mixing chamber 116 is connected to the bowl 104 by a number of drain lines 120 (here, seven), and in use, rinse water drops onto the back wall 106 under the influence of the weight force through the drain lines 120.

Ein Kanal 122 erstreckt sich von der oberen Fläche 124 des Urinalbeckens 102 in die Mischkammer 116, und ein Metallhalter 126 (z.B. aus Edelstahl) ist in den Kanal 122 montiert, wie nachstehend in Bezug auf Fig. 2 detaillierter erläutert). Der Halter 126 ist hohl und eignet sich, um einen festen Einheits-Tab 128 des Hygieneprodukts aufzunehmen, d.h. in einer Form, die sich nach ein paar Sekunden des Kontakts im Spülwasser löst. Der Halter 126 besitzt eine Anzahl von Öffnungen 130 (hier zwei, jedoch können etliche mehr verwendet werden), die den Kontakt des Spülwassers mit dem Tab 128 und das Lösen des Tab-Materials im Spülwasser ermöglichten. So eröffnet die Mischanordnung 114 die Möglichkeit, dass nach dem Spülvorgang eine Menge an Hygienepartikeln aus dem Tab 128 in das Spülwasser gemischt wird und via die Ablaufleitungen 120 über die Rückwand 106, in die untere Wand 107 und den unteren Abfluss 108 fließtA channel 122 extends from the upper surface 124 of the urinal basin 102 into the mixing chamber 116, and a metal holder 126 (eg of stainless steel) is mounted in the channel 122, as discussed below with respect to FIG Fig. 2 explained in more detail). The retainer 126 is hollow and is suitable for receiving a solid unit tab 128 of the sanitary product, ie, a shape that will dissolve in the rinse water after a few seconds of contact. The holder 126 has a number of openings 130 (here two, but many more can be used), which allowed the contact of the rinse water with the tab 128 and the release of the tab material in the rinse water. Thus, the mixing assembly 114 opens the possibility that after flushing a lot of hygiene particles from Tab 128 is mixed into the rinse water and via the Drain lines 120 via the rear wall 106, in the lower wall 107 and the lower drain 108 flows

Figur 2 veranschaulicht den oberen Teil des Hygieneprodukthalters 126 im Urinalbecken 102 aus Fig. 1 . Der Halter 126 besitzt eine zylindrische Form und beinhaltet eine untere Sektion 202 und einen Verschluss 204. Die untere Sektion 202 beinhaltet eine Lippe 206, die ein Anstoßen an die obere Fläche des Urinalbeckens 102 erlaubt (siehe Fig. 1), und eine Sektion 208 mit Schraubgewinde. Der Verschluss 204 verfügt über einen entsprechenden Abschnitt 210 mit Schraubgewinde. Weiterhin kann der Verschluss eine Vertiefung 212 beinhalten, in der ein Vorsprung 214 vorgesehen ist, wobei der Vorsprung eine ungewöhnliche Form aufweist (z.B. eine dreieckige oder sechseckige), so dass der Verschluss nur mit einem Spezialschlüssel durch Wartungspersonal ver-/entriegelbar ist. Zusätzlich oder alternativ dazu kann die periphere (tangentiale) Fläche des Verschlusses 204 mit ergonomisch geformten Vorsprüngen oder einem Oberflächenmuster versehen sein, die Wartungspersonal während des Öffnens und Schließens zwecks Auffüllen mit einem neuen Tab 128 öffnen und drehen kann. FIG. 2 illustrates the upper part of the hygiene product holder 126 in the urinal basin 102 Fig. 1 , The retainer 126 has a cylindrical shape and includes a lower section 202 and a closure 204. The lower section 202 includes a lip 206 which allows abutment against the upper surface of the urinal basin 102 (see Figs Fig. 1 ), and a screw-threaded section 208. The closure 204 has a corresponding screw threaded portion 210. Furthermore, the closure may include a recess 212 in which a projection 214 is provided, the projection having an unusual shape (eg, a triangular or hexagonal), so that the closure can only be locked / unlocked by maintenance personnel with a special key. Additionally or alternatively, the peripheral (tangential) surface of the closure 204 may be provided with ergonomically shaped protrusions or a surface pattern that maintenance personnel can open and rotate during opening and closing to fill with a new tab 128.

Figur 3 veranschaulicht die Mischkammer im Urinalbecken 102 aus Fig. 1 sequentiell, d.h. (a) vor dem Auffüllen mit Spülwasser, (b) mit Spülwasser gefüllt und (c) teilweise von Spülwasser entleert. In Fig. 3(a) ist kein Spülwasser vorhanden, so dass es zu keinem Kontakt zwischen dem Spülwasser und dem Tab 128 im Halter 126 kommt. FIG. 3 illustrates the mixing chamber in urinal basin 102 Fig. 1 sequentially, ie (a) filled with rinse water before filling, (b) with rinse water and (c) partially emptied of rinse water. In Fig. 3 (a) No rinse water is present, so that there is no contact between the rinse water and Tab 128 in the holder 126.

Wie aus Fig. 3(b) hervorgeht, hat, sobald sich die Mischkammer nahezu vollständig mit via die Zulaufleitung 118 eingeflossenem Spülwasser 302 gefüllt hat, eine Menge des im Tab 128 befindlichen Hygieneprodukts begonnen, sich zu lösen und sich in das Spülwasser 302 zu mischen, wie bei 304 angegeben. Das Hygieneprodukt im Tab 128 enthält bevorzugt einen Farbstoff, um den Gehalt des Hygieneprodukts sichtbar zu machen. Das Spülwasser 302 benötigt mehrere Sekunden, um durch Ablaufleitungen 120 abzufließen, und während dieser Zeit hat sich mehr des im Tab 128 befindlichen Hygieneprodukts gelöst und in das Spülwasser gemischt. Dies ist in Fig. 3(c) veranschaulicht. Wie bei 304 zu erkennen, hat sich das Hygieneprodukt-haltige Spülwasser 302 erheblich ausgebreitet und erstreckt sich über die meisten oder alle der Ablaufleitungen 120. Es fließt durch die Ablaufleitungen 120 ab, so dass der größere Teil der Rückwand 106 (siehe Fig. 1) mit Hygieneprodukt-haltigem Spülwasser 302 bespült wird, das unter dem Einfluss der Gewichtskraft auf die untere Wand 107 und den unteren Auslass 108 fällt (siehe Figur 1).How out Fig. 3 (b) As shown in FIG. 304, as soon as the mixing chamber has almost completely filled rinsing water 302 which has flowed in via the feed line 118, a quantity of the hygiene product located in the tab 128 has begun to dissolve and mix into the rinsing water 302. The sanitary product in Tab. 128 preferably contains a dye to visualize the content of the hygiene product. The rinse water 302 takes several seconds to drain through drain lines 120, during which time more of the sanitary product in tab 128 has dissolved and mixed into the rinse water. This is in Fig. 3 (c) illustrated. As seen at 304, the sanitary product containing rinse water 302 has expanded significantly and extends over most or all of the drain lines 120. It drains through the drain lines 120 such that the greater part of the back wall 106 (see FIG Fig. 1 ) is rinsed with sanitary product containing rinse water 302, which falls under the influence of the weight on the lower wall 107 and the lower outlet 108 (see FIG. 1 ).

Auf diese Weise erfolgt das hygienische Ausspülen der Schüssel 104 des Urinalbeckens 102 zweckgemäß und sichtbar, wobei ein fester Hygienprodukt-Tab eingesetzt wird, der nicht zu erkennen ist.In this way, the hygienic rinsing of the bowl 104 of the urinal basin 102 is suitably and visibly carried out, using a solid hygiene product tab which can not be recognized.
