Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for flushing a toilet, in particular a toilet of a recreational vehicle, with at least one flushing water pump and at least one Spülwasserventil. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a toilet system with a toilet bowl having an inner surface, at least one Spülwasserpumpe, at least one Spülwasserventil and at least one control unit and a recreational vehicle with such a toilet system.
  • a recreational vehicle is understood to mean a mobile home or a caravan, although other mobile vehicles, such as boats, can also be regarded as a recreational vehicle.
  • the known toilet water rinses for recreational vehicles are insufficient to remove the feces residue-free and completely. Furthermore, the flushing performance can be further affected by a reduced water supply performance.
  • the task is to show a flushing process for a toilet, in which, despite the low amount of flushing water available, a better dishwashing result by optimal wetting of the toilet bowl. Furthermore, the object is to provide a corresponding toilet system, which can find use in a recreational vehicle.
  • the inventive method for flushing a toilet is characterized in that the flushing water pump and the viaiiganventil be controlled via a control unit, wherein the flushing water valve is driven with a first signal, wherein the first signal is at least partially formed by an interval pulse.
  • the rinsing-water valve is thus activated by an interval pulse such that the rinsing-water valve is not operated continuously but intermittently.
  • a larger start pulse is generated during the flushing, so that overall sets a better wetting of the toilet bowl.
  • this is also achieved by "breaking off" the water film as a result of the intermittent rinsing, and thus the surface tension of the rinsing water does not prevent more homogeneous wetting.
  • the control by the interval pulse causes a short-term and significant increase in the water pressure, whereby the water wave generated during the flushing is transported much deeper and further into the toilet bowl. This in turn means that the faeces are transported much better, without the amount of water required for flushing is increased.
  • the frequency and / or the pulse length and / or the pulse intensity of the interval pulse is stored in the control unit, in particular stored or programmed.
  • the interval pulse does not necessarily have to be regular.
  • the frequency and / or the pulse length and / or the pulse intensity of the interval pulse can be varied.
  • the variation of the interval pulse can take place within one and the same purge.
  • the interval pulse at the beginning of the flush may be different than at the end of the flush.
  • the interval pulse not only varies within one and the same flush, but also from flush to flush.
  • an individual pulsating flushing can be stored in the control and adjusted, for example, if the water supply is not a problem. The latter is particularly the case when the recreational vehicle is parked on a campsite with permanent water supply and the possibility of disposal.
  • flushing water pump and the flushing water valve are activated by the first signal.
  • these two components are operated in parallel, so that a sets particularly stable pulsation rate.
  • the flushing water pump or the flushing water valve is controlled with a second signal, wherein the second signal is at least partially formed by a continuous signal.
  • the rinse water pump delivers continuously and thus generates a back pressure on the rinse water valve when the rinse water valve is closed. If the rinse water valve is then opened, the ram pressure suddenly empties and a surge-like and therefore stronger water wave of the toilet rinse is generated for a short time. This gushing of the toilet bowl with rinse water causes better wetting of the surface of the toilet bowl on the one hand, and on the other hand stubborn residues are better removed by the higher energy of the water wave. Thus, the already existing short-term increase in water pressure can be further increased thereby, resulting in an even better overall dishwashing result.
  • the first signal is further formed by a continuous pulse upstream and / or downstream of the interval pulse.
  • control unit activates the flushing water pump separately from the flushing water valve.
  • an optimal rinsing result can be achieved.
  • the control unit expediently activates the flushing water pump or the flushing water valve with a second signal, the second signal being formed at least partially by a continuous signal.
  • a second signal being formed at least partially by a continuous signal.
  • the toilet system has an interface for setting rinsing parameters.
  • the control unit can be operated via an operating panel, for example via a touchscreen or the like.
  • the interface allows integration into an existing operating system of the recreational vehicle, so that all settings can be made centrally on a unit, for example on the on-board computer of the recreational vehicle.
  • the control unit is integrated in the control panel and / or in the on-board computer, so that forms a closed unit.
  • the flushing water valve is a solenoid valve, advantageously a water solenoid valve.
  • Water solenoid valves have the advantage that they can be switched very quickly and thus also a short and pulsation rate with fast consecutive pulses is made possible.
  • the toilet bowl defines a rear area and a front area.
  • the toilet bowl has at least one Spüligandüse and at least one rinse water guide track, wherein the Spüligan arrangementsbahn is arranged circumferentially on the inner surface of the toilet bowl.
  • the rinse water nozzle at least partially directs the rinse water into the rinse water path so that the rinse water wets the interior surface at the back and front.
  • a Spülwasserdüse is provided which does not give the rinse water completely directly into the toilet bowl, but at least a portion of the rinse water in the rinse water guide path initiates, so that the rinse water is distributed along the Spülwasser arrangementsbahn. So both the rear area, as well as the front area of the toilet bowl can be supplied with rinse water.
  • the pulsating task of the rinsing water ensures optimal distribution.
  • the flushing water path runs in the rear area of the toilet bowl above the flushing water guide track in the front area of the toilet bowl.
  • the flushing water guide track is thus, for example, based on the floor or the toilet seat, not in a plane, but runs in the rear of the toilet bowl at a higher level. This allows optimal wetting of the toilet bowl with rinse water.
  • the rinse water guide path has a baffle surface in the region of the rinse water nozzle.
  • This baffle is advantageously arranged so that they Impact surface is designed sloping in the direction of the front region, that has a slope.
  • the higher part of the Spülwasser arrangementsbahn can be connected in the rear of the toilet bowl with the lower front part to over the baffle.
  • This baffle produces, especially during a rinse hold within the interval pulse an opposite water wave so that areas of the toilet bowl can be supplied with rinse water, which otherwise come only with little or no rinse water in contact and therefore need to be laboriously cleaned.
  • the area of the rinse water nozzle in particular the area below the rinse water nozzle, may be mentioned here.
  • the flushing water nozzle has a first flushing opening and a second flushing opening, wherein the flushing water emerges substantially horizontally through the first flushing opening, and wherein the flushing water emerges substantially vertically through the second flushing opening.
  • This additional flush opening helps to create an opposite water wave, so as to provide the areas with rinse water, which are difficult to access. This is advantageous not least from a hygienic point of view. In particular, it is therefore also advantageous if the rinse water exits through the second flushing opening in the direction of the baffle surface.
  • the invention relates to a recreational vehicle with a toilet system according to the invention.
  • Fig. 1 two time diagrams are shown by way of example, which represent the control of the rinse water pump 102 and the rinse water valve 103.
  • the rinse water pump 102 and the rinse water valve 103 are jointly controlled via a first signal in the form of an interval pulse. This is represented by the black dashed line, for which purpose the axis designated by "momentum" is decisive.
  • 1 means an operation of the rinse water pump 102 or opening of the rinse water valve 103
  • 0 means a shutoff of the rinse water pump 102 or closure of the rinse water valve 103.
  • the resulting rinse water flow is shown here black and continuous line.
  • the rinse water pressure is shown as a gray and continuous line and refers to the axis labeled "Pressure". As shown, the rinse water pump 102 and the rinse water valve 103 are activated in the same way, so that the result is a total of a pulsating rinse water course. Similarly, the rinse water pressure increases or decreases accordingly.
  • the lower panel shows an alternative mode of operation, in which the rinse water pump 102 is driven by a second signal in the form of a continuous signal. This continuous signal is shown as a dotted line.
  • the rinse water valve 103 is controlled as in the upper panel with the first signal in the form of an interval pulse (dashed line). This also results in the rinsing water course represented by the black line.
  • the rinsing diagram shown in the lower panel differs in that the rinsing water pressure builds up a back pressure by the rinsing water pump 102 operating against the closed rinsing water valve 103, which builds up when the rinsing water valve 103 opens.
  • a toilet bowl 2 of a toilet system 100 is shown in plan view and as a section along the line AA.
  • the toilet bowl 2 has an upper portion 4, which receives the toilet seat during operation. Furthermore, the toilet bowl has a lower region 5, which has the outlet 14.
  • a Spülwasserdüse 8 with a first flushing opening 9 and a second flushing opening 10 is arranged on the inner surface 3 of the toilet bowl.
  • the Spülwasserdüse 8 is arranged laterally below the upper portion 4. Underneath the Spüligandüse 8 is a circumferential Spülwasser arrangementsbahn 11, 12, 13.
  • the first flushing opening 9 discharges the flushing water essentially horizontally into the toilet shots 2l
  • the second flushing opening 10 discharging the flushing water in the direction of the baffle 13 and thus generating an opposing flushing water wave in the area of the baffle 13, which also makes areas with flushing water difficult to access to supply.
  • This opposite rinse water wave is particularly pronounced when the rinse water valve 103 is closed, so no rinse water is placed in the toilet bowl 2.
  • Fig. 4 a schematic overview of the individual components of a toilet system 100 according to the invention is shown.
  • the control unit 101 is embodied here in the form of control electronics and integrated into a control system 109.
  • the control system 109 is connected via an interface 104 and additionally comprises an operating panel 106.
  • an on-board computer 105 can be integrated in the control system 109 and also be provided with a central operating system, for example with the vehicle computer of the recreational vehicle.
  • the control electronics 101, the control panel 106 and / or the on-board computer 105 is a compact and closed unit in the form of the control system 109.
  • the rinse water pump 102 and the rinse water valve 103 are controlled.
  • the signals for driving can be changed via the interface 104 and stored in the control electronics 101. For example, it may be determined that the rinsing water pump 102 runs continuously for 10 seconds, the rinsing water valve 103 being initially controlled for 5 seconds with an interval pulse having a frequency of, for example, 1 Hz and then permanently opened for a further 5 seconds.
  • the rinse water is then fed via the Spüligandüse 8 in the toilet bowl 2, as above Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 described.
  • a rinse water tank 107 it is already filled by the water supply 108 during the rinsing process. Otherwise, the rinse water pump 103 directly feeds the rinse water from the water supply 108.
