Abstract

The invention relates to a disposal device for a vehicle, comprising a collecting basin (50) with a basin interior accessible through an upper basin opening and a drain opening (501) which is connected to a first line end of a drainage line (54). The drainage basin is channel-shaped and has a support device (53), which is arranged within the basin opening and serves to ensure the passability of the channel transversely to its longitudinal extent. For this purpose, the support device provides a passable surface for the wheel of the vehicle, so that the wheel does not fall into the basin interior, but can cross the gutter.

Description

The invention relates to a disposal device for a vehicle, comprising a collecting basin with an accessible through an upper basin opening basin interior and a drain opening, which is connected to a first line end of a drain line.

Disposal devices of this type are used for the disposal of fluids such as gray water, sewage, feces and the like from vehicles, especially trucks or touring vehicles such as campers or coaches. Such vehicles are usually equipped with a vehicle tank disposed within the vehicle for receiving the gray water and the like. Depending on the size of the vehicle, such vehicle tanks may have a capacity of up to 200 liters. For emptying large-capacity vehicle tanks, and thus for disposing of the fluid contained therein, many vehicles today include an exhaust port mounted below the vehicle.

It has hitherto been customary to position this outlet opening for the disposal process simply above a street-mounted rainwater drain grate, for example a Gulli inlet, and subsequently to open the outlet opening, for example by means of a valve inside the vehicle. The fluid inside the vehicle tank was then gravity fed into the Gulli and thence into the public sewage network.

The disadvantage here is that with this type of disposal impairments of the environment, especially in the form of splashes and by the emergence of odors occur, the positioning over the Gulli is regularly problematic and consuming shunting the vehicle requires. In addition, the rain gutter can be contaminated by solids or fibrous matter and clogged by it and it is not desirable for reasons of pollution, to initiate wastewater from such mobile sanitary facilities in such a concentration via a rainwater drain grate in the public sewer network.

To improve the disposal process, discloses DE 10 2010 032 852 A1 a service station for the disposal of faeces and / or gray water from touring vehicles, which comprises an upwardly open receiving basin and an associated discharge element and a guide element for a free end of the discharge element, wherein the free end of the discharge element in operative connection with a connection element of a tank or a Channel can be brought, and wherein the free end of the discharge element is pivotally mounted relative to the connecting element about an axis. For disposal, the vehicle is first brought roughly into a disposal parking position. Subsequently, the receiving basin is positioned below the outlet opening by pivoting it into the appropriate disposal position. The exhaust port of the vehicle is then opened. The fluid contained in the vehicle tank runs in free fall into the receiving basin and is passed via the discharge element and the connecting element in the tank or channel.

In such a service station, the free end is usually fixed in place, so that the large amounts of gray water and / or faeces can be passed through the connection element in a correspondingly large tank or in a channel. In order to position the vehicle roughly in the disposal parking position, such service stations usually have corresponding markings that give the driver an approximate disposal parking position. A disadvantage of this construction is therefore that at least a rough maneuvering of the vehicle is necessary. It should be noted in particular that there are a large number of different sized vehicles. This results in an increased number of possible parking positions for coarse positioning of the vehicle to be provided to the driver by the markers. This can lead to confusion and thus disposal errors. Another disadvantage is on the other hand, that even by such a service station Impairment of the environment can not be prevented by splashes and the formation of odors.

A disadvantage of this service station is further that their construction and thus also purchase is very expensive. On the other hand, the variety of interconnected components for increased maintenance costs, since only so can be ensured that the service station remains fully functional in the course of many years of use. Furthermore, the large number of components causes an increased susceptibility to errors, especially in the case of improper operation. As a result, the current operating costs are increased, in particular since advantageous for maintenance and proper operation personnel for the service station must be provided.

Another problem arises in the practical utility of such disposal facilities. It is often necessary to empty the waste tank of coaches during a break. This process often takes place by the bus driver himself and under observation by the passengers. In principle, the highest possible hygienic and aesthetic standard should be achieved in such emptying operations. It is neither desirable that the bus driver could pollute his clothes nor that the passengers experience an unhygienic sight.

Finally, another problem with the disposal of vehicles by means of this service station is that the position of the vehicle tanks and the waste water opening on the vehicle is not the same for each vehicle. For example, in the case of coaches, the waste water opening may be located centrally on the left or right side of the vehicle, but there are also designs with the waste water opening on the vehicle tank in the rear of the vehicle. In the latter case, the positioning of the above-described pivotable axis service station is difficult because at the rear the tires of the vehicle may disturb or even prevent the pivoting operation. It is thus desirable to provide a disposal device that is easy to handle and allows for the most optimal disposal possible for each position of the vehicle tank.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a disposal device which preferably at least some, ideally eliminates all the aforementioned problems. It is to be made more comfortable for the user disposal of waste water from sanitary facilities in coaches. In particular, it is an object of the invention to provide a disposal device in which the driver himself as Operators can run without risking to contaminate his service clothing. Finally, it would be advantageous if a hygienically unsatisfactory sight of the disposal device can be avoided after their use.

This object is achieved according to a first aspect of the invention according to the invention by a disposal device of the type mentioned, which is characterized in that it further comprises a positioning device with a handle and at least one roller, preferably a steering roller, wherein the collecting basin arranged on the positioning device is, and the positioning device is arranged to move the sump from a non-operating position to an operating position.

The drain opening is preferably connected to a first line end of the drain line. This connection is preferably made sealingly, for example by a seal with corresponding sealing rings. The drain line can preferably be designed as a hose made of stainless steel or plastic, the first end of the hose is attached as the first line end by means of the seal on the drain opening. The drain line can also be designed as a rigid or telescopic tube with or without corresponding hinges, wherein the first pipe end is connected to the drain opening. The drain line in this case has a second line end, by means of which the fluid can be passed from the vehicle tank for disposal, for example, directly into the sewer.

A preferred positioning device is designed as a frame comprising three or more struts extending along a plane perpendicular to the direction of gravity. These struts are connected together so that they form, for example, a rectangle or a triangle. On a lower side of these struts, one or more rollers, preferably castors, arranged so that the frame can be moved over the ground. However, it is also conceivable to arrange the castors directly on the catch basin. In this case, the struts along the plane perpendicular to the direction of gravity can be dispensed with. As a result, the number of necessary components can be further reduced.

It is preferred that these castors are pivotally mounted about an axis which is parallel to the direction of gravity. As a result, a mobility in all directions can be ensured.

Preferably, such a frame further comprises a bracket, which extends along a vertical plane, ie a plane parallel to the direction of gravity. The coat hanger can consist of one or more struts and can be designed as a handle or equipped with one or more handles. These handles can be used by the operator, in particular the driver, to position the catch basin with the pelvic opening under the outlet opening of the vehicle. As a result, the catch basin is brought from the non-operating position to the operating position. Similarly, the operator can bring the positioning device by means of the handles from the operating position to the non-operating position. The bracket can in this case be pivotally mounted, for example by means of a ball locking pin, so that the bracket can be pivoted in the non-operating position down so as to reduce the overall size of the disposal device, for example, for safekeeping or transport.

The disposal device according to the invention offers the advantage of increased mobility and variability in the application. In particular, the positioning device allows positioning of the catch basin at any point of the vehicle. Thus, both vehicle tanks, which are arranged centrally on the left and right sides of the vehicle, as well as vehicle tanks, which are arranged at the rear of the vehicle, can be emptied by a simple operation.

Another problem arises in the practical utility of the disposal facilities. It is often necessary to empty the waste tank of vehicles such as coaches during a break. This procedure must be carried out in such a case by the driver himself and under the observation of the passengers. In principle, the highest possible hygienic and aesthetic standard should be achieved in such emptying operations. It is neither desirable for the driver to pollute his clothes nor for the passengers to experience an unhygienic sight and / or smell.

In order to accomplish this, the catch basin in a first preferred embodiment has a pelvic floor surface and a pelvic edge surface laterally delimiting the pelvic floor surface. In this case, the upper basin opening is enclosed by the basin edge surface and has an opening cross-section which is smaller than the basin bottom surface of the collecting basin.

The inventors have recognized that it is advantageous to provide the upper pelvic opening with an opening cross-section which is smaller than the pelvic floor area, for example between 95% and 75% of the pelvic floor area. An opening cross-section configured in this way offers the advantage that the disposal process also results in a relatively inaccurate alignment of the basin opening to the outlet opening of the vehicle tank can still be performed. However, the opening cross-section may also be less than 75% of the pelvic floor area. Minimally, the opening cross-section of the tank opening should be so large that exactly encloses the outlet opening of the vehicle tank. In this case, a very precise alignment of pelvic opening to outlet opening is necessary.

The upper pelvic opening is hereby preferably arranged centrally in relation to the pelvic floor surface. The pelvic opening is bounded by a pool edge that extends upwards from the pelvic floor. Pelvic floor and pool edge may be formed integrally, for example by deep drawing a plate-shaped starting material or by a casting process. The transition between the edge of the pelvis and the pelvic floor may be rounded. The provision of a pool edge that extends vertically creates a sort of "freeboard" within the pool. In this embodiment, the edge of the basin defines a reduced entrance surface of the upper pelvic opening opposite the pelvic floor, that is, the edge of the pelvis lies partially above the pelvic floor and conceals it in a vertical plan view. In this embodiment, the pool edge therefore has fluid-conducting wall sections which are not vertically aligned but have a horizontal directional component. These fluid-conducting wall sections, wastewater, which flows outward on the pool bottom and hits the edge of the pool, deflect inward to the center of the pelvic floor, so throw back, without the risk that emerges from the basin flowing to the edge of the pool, or splashes. Thus, when the fluid is drained from the vehicle tank into the sump during the disposal process, this freeboard thus formed ensures that the recessed, circulating in the pool fluid is diverted from the edge of the pool to the center of the pool, without this can penetrate splashes from the sump. This prevents an unhygienic sight from being created. Furthermore, the flow of the fluid can cause a suction, which also directs odor-generating elements also directly in the direction of the drain opening.

The advantage of this embodiment is thus that the flow behavior of the fluid discharged from the tank is changed by the geometry of the basin so that the fluid is effectively guided into the middle of the collecting basin, whereby splashes and odor nuisance can be prevented. This is especially advantageous if the positioning of the waste water outlet opening does not succeed in such a way that the waste water can enter directly into the outlet opening in the bottom of the basin, but the waste water impinges on the bottom of the pool.

In a further preferred embodiment, the catch basin further comprises a pelvic floor surface and a pelvic edge surface rising above the pelvic floor surface defining the pelvic opening and having a guide surface facing the pelvic interior having a fulcrum portion whose surface normal faces the pelvic floor surface and which is preferably concave Surface has.

The advantage of this embodiment is an improved diversion of the fluid flowing to the edge of the basin back into the middle of the interior of the collecting basin. In particular, the flow properties of the fluid are advantageously influenced by the concave surface of the guide surface sections, wave and surge formation are reduced and thus further reduce the occurrence of splashes and odor nuisance.

Another factor in the occurrence of splashes and odors during the disposal process is the drop height of the fluid from the vehicle tank. In this case, a higher drop height causes a higher velocity of the fluid when hitting the pelvic floor surface in the basin interior of the catch basin. Such a higher speed also increases the occurrence of splashes.

In order to reduce this effect, it is provided according to a further preferred embodiment that the collecting basin is adjustable in height. Additionally or alternatively, the basin edge surface may be adjustable in height, preferably by a seal running along an upper edge of the bowl edge surface, which is elastic and is preferably designed as an inflatable tube element.

The inventors have recognized here that a more accurate positioning along the direction of gravity - and thus a smaller distance between the upper edge of the pool and the vehicle - can cause an improved discharge of the fluid, in particular by means of the flow conditions generated by the pelvic geometry. For this purpose, it is provided to store the catch basin in height adjustable on the positioning device. In this case, the positioning device can comprise pivoting or sliding devices for the rotational or translational mobility of the collecting basin.

The term "height-adjustable" in this context is to be understood as a change in the position of the collecting basin in the direction of gravity. Such height adjustability can be achieved, for example, by pivotally mounting the catch basin to a pivot arm about a horizontal axis. Alternatively, the height adjustment can also be achieved by means of a lever mechanism in which the catch basin is raised and lowered by a lever arm. One such lever mechanism can be operated both manually and electrically by means of drive motors. An example of an electric drive motor here is a Spindelhubantrieb. In such a case, the lever mechanism can be equipped with a corresponding brake lever operated by the user. If the operator releases the brake lever, a signal can be transmitted to the spindle lifting drive, for example by establishing an electrical contact, to set the operation of the drive.

It is also conceivable to store the catch basin adjustable in height via a parallelogram lifting device. For this purpose, the catch basin is arranged on one or more corresponding parallelogram lift arms. These lift arms can then be moved along an axis that is aligned parallel to the direction of gravity. Depending on the direction of movement, the catch basin is raised or lowered. The movement can be done manually or by appropriate motors. In the second case, the parallelogram lifting device must continue to be equipped with a control unit for operating the motors.

Additionally or alternatively, it is preferable to provide the upper edge of the pool edge surface with an elastic seal. This seal is intended to serve as a splash guard during the disposal operation by adjusting the height of the seal so that it is in very close proximity to the underbody of the vehicle in an area around the discharge opening of the vehicle or on the underbody of the vehicle rests. Preferably, such a height-adjustable seal is provided by a hose, which can be acted upon by a fluid such as water or air. Depending on the amount and pressure of the fluid within the tube so the elasticity and / or the height of the seal can be influenced. The seal can be made both angular and round. It can be adapted to the dimensions of the pelvic opening or be larger than the opening cross-section of the pelvic opening.

In a further preferred embodiment, the disposal device further comprises a fixing device, which is designed to fix the positioning device in the operating position. It is advantageous here that a securing against accidental movement out of the operating position can be provided by this fixing device.

Preferably, such a fixing device is designed as a braking device. Such a braking device can be configured as a lever device, which is arranged on one or more steering rollers. In the fixed state, the lever is on the Swivel caster and thus prevents movement of the castor. Preferably, the braking device is designed as a total stopper for the castors.

Alternatively or additionally, the braking device can also be designed as a lever device on the handle of the positioning device, which is put out of operation only by operating a lever on the handle by the operator. In this case, the braking device thus comprises one or more struts, which are aligned along the direction of gravity. These struts are perpendicular to the ground surface when the user does not operate the lever, thus lifting the castors on the frame of the positioning device from the ground. As a result, a method using the castors is no longer possible. As the user operates the lever, the bars are raised and spaced from the ground surface. As a result, the positioning device is lowered and the castors come in contact with the bottom surface. A method of the positioning device is possible. This type of braking device can be attached at any point of the positioning device along a plane perpendicular to the direction of gravity. Furthermore, such a fixing device may also be a braking device which, upon actuation of a pedal, a switch, or the like, fixes the castors - and thus the positioning device. Furthermore, it is also possible to provide hydraulic or mechanical brake elements for height adjustment, for example by means of the parallel lifting device.

In a further preferred embodiment of the disposal device, the at least one roller is displaceably arranged on a frame element, which connects the collecting trough with the handle of the positioning device, and which is preferably designed as a pipe receiving the drain line. The arrangement of the catch basin at a distance from the roller, the catch basin can be pivoted about the roll axis of the roll and thereby raised and lowered. The displaceability of the roller makes it possible to change the length of the swivel arm and thus the lifting height.

Preferably, the positioning device can also be designed as a kind of rocker, which is formed from a frame member. The catch basin is arranged at one end of the frame member, the handle at an opposite end thereto and the roller is arranged between catch basin and handle. Preferably, the catch basin is designed so that the frame element is designed simultaneously as a drain pipe receiving pipe. The fluid from the vehicle tank is discharged in this case directly by means of the tube. It is particularly preferred that one or more steering rollers are slidably disposed on the frame member to move the disposal device from the non-operating position to the operating position. Again, it is advantageous if the castors are mounted pivotably about an axis parallel to the direction of gravity. The displaceability of the castors is preferably ensured by a support for the castors, which is slidably mounted on the pipe. This holder preferably has a fixing device which can be used to fix the holder at a position along the length of the tube. This fixing device is preferably carried out mechanically, ie via a lever mechanism or a (total) stopper.

In the case of such a rocker-type positioning device, a braking device of the type described above is not absolutely necessary. In particular, it is preferably provided that the positioning device is placed by means of its handle in the operating position with the catch basin opposite end of the tube to the ground. The tube may in this case have at the corresponding end a support device such as a sheet or a differently shaped attachment surface, which is used for placing the tube on the ground. As a result, the catch basin is raised below the vehicle and fixed in the operating position. It is hereby conceivable to equip the connection between the catch basin and the tube with an elastic connecting piece, for example a hose, and to additionally store the catch basin by means of a ball joint. This can be ensured when placing on the ground that the catch basin remains aligned in approximately perpendicular to the direction of gravity.

In a further preferred embodiment, the disposal device further comprises a reservoir connectable to the drain line for receiving a fluid which has been discharged through the drain line, wherein the tank for receiving the fluid is arranged on the positioning device.

In this case, the positioning device is preferably designed such that it comprises an attachment and / or holder for the tank for receiving the fluid. Advantage of this design is the complete mobility of the disposal device, which can thus be moved in its entirety for disposal to the vehicle. The disposal device is preferably aligned relative to the vehicle so that at least the catch basin is arranged below the vehicle. After the disposal process, the catch basin can be brought out under the vehicle and the disposal device can be moved away from the vehicle again. The tank attached to the positioning device can then be emptied, for example within a specially designated area, at a later time. This application is particularly advantageous for vehicles with lower capacity vehicle tanks.

A second aspect of the invention relates to a disposal device of the initially mentioned type in which the catch basin is formed as a longitudinally extending gutter, and which is characterized in that the catch basin comprises a support device which is arranged within the basin opening.

It is also possible within the scope of the invention to make the disposal station stationary. In this case, the sump is formed as a longitudinally extending gutter that is recessed into the ground so that the vehicle can overrun this gutter. In order for the vehicle to be able to cross the channel and not be damaged in this case, according to the invention a supporting device is provided inside the basin opening which supports the weight of the vehicle when passing over the collecting channel and thus prevents immersion of the tire in the channel. An arrangement in the pelvic opening is to be understood as meaning that the supporting device is arranged above the pelvic floor, preferably in such a way that the supporting device defines an upper contact area which runs at least partially in alignment with the upper edge of the collecting basin. The footprint area formed by the support device for the tire may be horizontal, alternatively, this footprint may also be inclined, for example in the manner of a V-shaped course with two surface sections inclined downwards from the center.

The gutter can be formed by a single, continuous gutter or two separate gutter sections, which are spaced from each other. Preferably, the gutter is made so wide and / or long that a discharge of vehicle tanks is possible, which are arranged either right or left or alternatively in the rear of the vehicle when the vehicle is positioned approximately centrally above the gutter. In this case, the gutter has a length which corresponds approximately to the vehicle width, that is preferably about two meters or more. The drained fluid from the vehicle tank is in this case passed by gravity into the catch basin after opening the drain opening. The fluid is then - also by gravity - preferably out by means of a drain opening in a drain line, which ends in the sewer. Alternatively, the gutter can also be made narrower. In this case, the vehicle must approach the gutter differently depending on the position of the vehicle tank. For this purpose, appropriate markings can be provided on the channel.

In a preferred embodiment of this second aspect, the support device is fluid-permeable and at least partially fills the pelvic opening.

In this case, the support device is preferably arranged centrally within the pelvic opening, but in alternative embodiments it can also be arranged in one or two mutually opposite edge regions of the pelvic opening.

In particular, the support device may be in the form of a grid or other type of fluid-permeable structure comprising a frame for placement within the pelvic opening.

It is possible to make the catch basin a round or square basin. Here, the pool edge surfaces can be performed smoothly and without structure. Alternatively, it is also possible to provide the pelvic edge surfaces with a structure, preferably a labyrinth structure or a ribbed structure. Such a structure of the pool edge surfaces is advantageous because the fluid introduced into the catch basin experiences flow diversion through the structure. This reduces the appearance of splashes and odors from the area immediately around the sump.

In a further preferred embodiment of the second aspect, the support device is configured as a rib structure comprising a first set of parallel ribs extending in a first direction and a second set of parallel ribs extending in a second, different direction from the first, the ribs of the first and second group preferably extend obliquely to the horizontal.

The support device can further be designed as a rib structure itself. In such a case, it is preferable that the supporting device completely fills the pelvic opening and comprises a frame which rests on the edge region of the collecting basin. Alternatively or additionally, the support device can also be supported centrally, for example by a support column.

The support device preferably has a first and a second group of ribs. The ribs of the first group are preferably obliquely to the horizontal, but aligned parallel to each other. The ribs of the second group are also oriented obliquely to the horizontal and parallel to each other. Here, it is preferable that the extending direction of the first group of ribs is different from the extending direction of the second group of ribs. In particular, here an alignment is preferred in which the extension direction of the second group of ribs relative to the horizontal corresponds to a vertically mirrored extension direction of the first groups of ribs, so that the ribs form, for example, a V-shaped footprint for the tire of the vehicle.

According to a further preferred embodiment of this second aspect, the disposal device further comprises a cover device, which comprises a movable, in particular pivotally mounted cover flap which closes the pelvic opening in a securing position and releases the pelvic opening in an operating position, preferably laterally surrounding the pelvic opening above.

It is desirable to provide a backup to the operator and / or, if appropriate, to other persons who are in the vicinity of the disposal device. For this purpose, a covering device is preferably provided with a pivotable cover flap, which can be pivoted back and forth between a securing position and an operating position.

A securing position here is a position in which the cover flap closes the pelvic opening. It is preferred that the cover flap is configured so that it can support the weight of a person in the securing position without moving from the securing position. In this way it can be prevented that persons, for example passengers of the vehicles to be disposed of, can be soiled or possibly injured by the accidental entry into the collecting basin of a disposal device which is not currently in use.

An operating position is to be understood as the position in which the cover flap releases the pelvic opening, so that the fluid discharged from the vehicle tank can be guided unhindered into the catch basin. It is particularly advantageous if the cover flap is pivoted in the operating position upwards, ie in the direction of the vehicle to be disposed. In this case, the cover flap can act as a splash guard during the disposal operation and thus contributes to the prevention of splashes and odors efficiently.

Alternatively, the cover flap can also be pivoted into the interior of the basin. Here, a configuration is conceivable in which the cover has a rib or labyrinth structure. Thus, it is already recognizable to the driver and the passengers in securing position and can be easily identified when driving over and overflowing. In operation position, the cover flap can then serve as a structured basin edge surface for more efficient discharge of the fluid discharged from the vehicle. In such a case, the support element must be carried out so that the cover flap can be passed after passing over the vehicle on the support element in the interior of the catch basin.

A pivoting of the cover flap from the safety to the operating position can be realized in different ways. It is conceivable, for example, a spring mechanism that fixes the cover to a certain weight limit, for example, 150 kg, in the securing position, however, yields in violation of this limit, whereby the cover moves either in a supported position in which they the tire load of Vehicle can be carried or moved directly to the operating position. In this way, a backup can be provided in a simple manner, in which the trespassing of the cover by a person has a retention of the cover in the backup position result, a driving over the cover with the much heavier vehicle, however, a movement in a securely supported position or in the operating position causes. This facilitates the mechanical attachment of the cover and allows a total robust design. After completion of the disposal process, then, for example, by activating a return spring or a different type of return mechanism by means of a corresponding activation means such as a button, the cover flap can be brought back into the securing position.

It is also conceivable to equip the disposal device in the region of the vehicle in the disposal parking position with a weight-determining device and an activation mechanism coupled to this device. Such an activation mechanism can be realized for example by means of electronic control, which can be controlled via control signals of the weight determining device.

When the weight determining device now registers a typical weight for a vehicle, that is, when the vehicle has been driven into the disposal position via the channel, it sends a corresponding signal to the activation mechanism. The activation mechanism then causes the flap to pivot from the backup to the operating position. When the vehicle returns to the default disposal park position, the weight acting on the weight determination device is reduced until the vehicle is completely removed from the disposal station. At this point, or if a predetermined threshold value for the weight is exceeded, the activation mechanism causes a pivoting of the cover flap from the operating to the securing position.

In a further preferred embodiment of the second aspect of the invention, the collecting basin further has a connecting edge line for connecting the disposal device to a road surface, wherein the connecting edge line lies in the plane of the roadway. Furthermore, this embodiment comprises a ramp, extending from the terminal edge line up to the pelvic opening, which is located above the terminal edge line.

As mentioned above, the drop height of the fluid into the interior of the basin is a factor that influences the formation of splashes and odors. However, a variable height adjustment is not readily feasible in the case of a stationary disposal device, in which the catch basin is inserted into the ground. Here, the inventors have realized that it is advantageous if the basin opening of the collecting basin is raised in relation to the remaining road surface.

To achieve this, a ramp can be provided, which serves as a connection between the road surface and the slightly higher pelvic opening. In this case, the vehicle drives preferably over a connecting edge line on the ramp, passes with its front part of the catch basin with the supporting device arranged therein and then moves with the front part again on a ramp leading towards the road surface. In the disposal position, the tires of the vehicle are then on the road surface, wherein the pelvic opening is slightly raised below the vehicle in proportion. As a result, the drop height can be reduced to some extent.

According to a further preferred embodiment, the stationary disposal device may be further developed in that the support device comprises at least one movable lid which, from a closed position in which the pelvic opening is closed by the support device, to an open position in the waste water from above through the pelvic opening can run in the basin interior, is movable. With this embodiment, the pelvic opening is closed by the support device and thereby ensures that a person can not accidentally partially or completely get into the pelvic interior and injured thereby. A closed position is to be understood here as meaning that the pelvic interior is closed by the support device against entry, but the closed position does not have to produce a fluid-tightness or gas-tightness, for example. The movement of the support device or the lid can be done in different ways. In particular, the movement can be effected by a sliding movement extending linearly or along a curved line or by pivoting.

In this embodiment, it is further preferred if each cover is pivotable about a pivot axis extending in the longitudinal direction of the basin interior. In principle, the disposal device can be secured by means of a single cover against accidental entry of persons, but are preferred several lids and in particular exactly two lids provided to fulfill this function. The lids may extend in a favorable manner from two opposite sides into the pelvic opening and in this way move towards one another in the course of the closing movement. In particular, it is preferred if the covers are moved by a pivoting movement and in this case the pivot axis extends along the longitudinal direction of the basin opening. The longitudinal direction of the pelvic opening is to be understood here as the direction in which the pelvic opening has the greatest geometric extent, typically this direction is transverse to the direction of travel of the vehicle, which travels over the pelvic opening. Due to the orientation of this pivot axis in the longitudinal direction of the channel, the cover itself can be pivotally guided on a longitudinal edge and, starting from this longitudinal edge, have only a small extent to be supported, as a result of which the axle load which can be carried by the cover can be absorbed mechanically favorably.

It is even further preferred in this case if the cover is supported along a first edge of the cover in the region of a pivot axis bearing and vertical supports are arranged on the cover in the region of a second cover edge opposite thereto relative to the cover, which in the closed position covers the cover in the region of the second Support the edge of the lid on the floor of the basin interior and release the pelvic opening in the open position. In this embodiment, the lid is supported on the one hand in the region of the pivot axis bearing, on the other hand supported on a side opposite thereto by separate vertical supports. The support in the range of Schwenkachslagerung can be done for example by the Schwenkachslagerung itself, so for example by the pivot axis is dimensioned correspondingly large and a corresponding supporting force can be transmitted to the pivot axis. Alternatively, however, additional support elements, which support the cover, are provided in the area of the pivot axis bearing to provide this support and to relieve the pivot axis itself of mechanical forces when driving over a vehicle or to keep it completely free. The vertical supports are arranged opposite to the opposite longitudinal edge of the lid and support the lid in this area. This support is made directly on the bottom of the catch basin by the supports extend from the lid down to the ground. Preferably, the supports are longitudinally adjustable in order to establish a correct support height of the lid can. The vertical supports are also movable, so that a movement of the vertical supports in the course of the movement of the lid itself is possible. Due to this mobility, the vertical support can be moved out of the region of the pelvic opening in such a way that it does not partially obscure the pelvic opening in the opened position of the cover and, consequently, there is no risk that the vertical support will be contaminated when the wastewater is discharged.

In this case, it is particularly preferred if the support device comprises two covers, the pivot axis extends along the longitudinal edges of the basin interior in the longitudinal direction and a plurality of vertical supports are pivotally mounted on the lid, wherein the lid from the closed position to be pivoted upwards in the open position and the vertical supports are pivoted in the open position to the underside of the lid. In this embodiment, the support device is formed by two lids which are each pivotally mounted on longitudinal edges of the pelvic opening and from a closed position in which the lids extend substantially horizontally to an open position in which the lids extend vertically or even extend obliquely or even horizontally beyond the vertical, can be pivoted. Due to the design with two lids, the lids are geometrically dimensioned such that they can be pivoted into the open position with the usual ground clearances of vehicles which are arranged above the closed lid. This has the advantage that the vehicle can be positioned with the lid closed and only shortly before the discharge process, the lid can be opened. The vertical supports are in this case also pivotally mounted on the lid, in particular, the vertical supports can be pivotally supported on the underside of the lid. This pivoting can cause an alignment to support the vertical supports on the pelvic floor by pure gravity. In particular, however, the vertical support can also be guided in an area spaced from the pivot axis of the vertical support by means of an additional lever or a linear guide or the like to ensure a defined orientation of the vertical support in the closed state of the lid on the one hand and in the open state of the lid on the other hand.

According to a further preferred embodiment, the stationary disposal device can be further developed by a support surface arranged between the pivot axis and the second cover edge on the catch basin for supporting the cover in the closed position, wherein the support surface preferably extends adjacent to the pelvic opening or limits the pelvic opening along its longitudinal edges , As explained above, it is in principle possible to support the lid by means of the movement device, that is, for example by means of a pivot axis and a Schwenkachslagerung and thereby absorb the weight of the vehicle on the lid, but this is preferred by a support surface which supports the lid in Area of the pivot axis causes. Such a support surface can achieve a reliable recording of the load acting on the cover wheel load and thereby relieve the pivot axis and their storage partially or completely. In particular, the pivot axis and its storage can thereby be dimensioned smaller than would be necessary, although acting on the cover wheel loads through the Swivel axis and their storage would have to be included. This is advantageous insofar as that this smaller dimensioning allows a large opening of the basin interior and thus lower demands on the positioning accuracy of the drain opening of the septic tank above the basin opening or above the basin interior can be made because the opening dimension is not a robust dimensioned Schwenkachslagerung and pivot axis is reduced.

The above-described stationary disposal apparatus may be further developed by a positioning apparatus comprising: a distance measuring unit configured to measure a distance between an area on a vehicle having a waste tank to be emptied and a reference point fixed to the sump, and a user interface; which gives a driver of the vehicle visual or audible signals indicating correct positioning of the vehicle relative to the sump. A particular problem with the use of waste water disposal device of the type described above is to correctly position the vehicle with the typically arranged stationary to the vehicle discharge opening such that the drain opening is above the tank opening and thus a clean discharge of the waste water in free fall by gravity in the basin interior is made possible. According to the invention, the positioning can be improved and facilitated by taking a distance measurement of a vehicle surface to a stationary reference point and the driver is given a visual or audible indication that signals the correct positioning of the vehicle. This can be done, for example, such that the driver is indicated by a color signal whether the vehicle is correctly positioned (for example, a green signal) or not. In particular, the signal may also include positioning aids, such as a visual indicator that signals the driver whether the vehicle needs to be moved forwards or backwards to reach the correct position, for example, by optically signaling corresponding driving direction indicators. This is known from applications in car washes, in which, however, only the front of the vehicle is measured and positioned in a certain plane. However, according to the invention, this positioning aid can also be used when a drainage nozzle of a wastewater tank arranged at a certain distance from the vehicle front is to be positioned above a tank opening embedded in the roadway.

In this case, it is particularly preferred if the positioning device further comprises a vehicle identification device for detecting a vehicle identification code which, in terms of signaling, has a control unit with an electronic memory in which an individual positioning parameter is stored for each vehicle identification code identified by the vehicle identification device, wherein the control unit is signal-wise connected to the user interface and the distance measuring unit and is designed to control the user interface as a function of the measured distance and the individual positioning parameter. According to this embodiment, the correct positioning of the vehicle takes place with the aid of a positioning characteristic. This positioning characteristic is stored in an electronic memory and associated with a likewise stored therein vehicle identification code.

The positioning characteristic may, for example, be a distance between the area of the vehicle detected by the distance measuring unit, for example the front area of the vehicle, and the outlet opening of the waste water tank of the vehicle. The positioning characteristic can be read from the memory after the vehicle identification code has been detected by means of a corresponding vehicle identification device. This can be done, for example, by a vehicle-mounted transponder (Bluetooth transponder, RFID or the like) by means of a corresponding receiver, which is arranged on the disposal device is read out and in this way the vehicle uniquely by means of a stored in the transponder vehicle identification code is recognized.

The vehicle identification code can in itself already contain a positioning characteristic which accordingly is converted by a corresponding software of the control unit, which in the sense of the invention is also understood as a stored positioning characteristic. In this case, the control unit stores a corresponding software code, which derives a corresponding positioning characteristic from the read-out vehicle identification code.

Likewise, however, a table-like assignment of vehicle identification codes and positioning parameters can also be stored in the control unit, and the associated positioning parameter can be read from this table using a read vehicle identification code and used for positioning the vehicle.

The vehicle identification can also be done in other ways, for example by the license plate of the vehicle is detected and this flag is further processed as a vehicle identification code.

By the positioning characteristic read out in such a manner, an accurate determination of the position of the vehicle measured with the distance measuring unit surface relative to the disposal device or relative to the reference point of the distance measuring unit can be performed and thereby the discharge nozzle of the waste water tank of the vehicle can be placed precisely and reproducibly above the pelvic opening ,

In particular, it should be understood that the control unit can also be formed by an electronic circuit arranged adjacent to the catch basin on the one hand and an electronic memory arranged centrally and spaced therefrom on the other hand. Such an electronic memory arranged centrally at another location can be connected to the electronic circuit of the control unit, for example, by means of corresponding data connections. In particular, such an electronic memory may be connected to a plurality of electronic circuits which are associated with a plurality of catch basins and their positioning devices. Thus, it is advantageous, for example, if positioning parameters and vehicle identification codes are stored centrally on a server in an electronic memory and are accessible from a multiplicity of decentralized positioning devices for retrieval and thereby correct positioning of a vehicle at several different locations by means of corresponding positioning devices to enable.

According to a further preferred embodiment, it is provided that the control unit is designed to allocate, in a configuration mode, a distance measured by the distance measuring unit to a vehicle identification code detected by the vehicle identification device and to store it in the memory assigned to this vehicle identification code. According to this embodiment, the control unit can be programmed in a configuration mode and in this case a vehicle with a specifically detected positioning parameter can be stored. For this purpose, the vehicle, which could not previously be positioned correctly with the aid of the positioning device, is positioned in such a way that the discharge nozzle of the wastewater tank of the vehicle is arranged above the basin opening and then a positioning parameter is derived from the distance determined in this position of the vehicle by means of the distance measuring unit. associated with the vehicle identification code and stored accordingly in the electronic memory. This allows a teach-in-like approach to registration of vehicles and their matching positioning characteristic and thus can achieve a simple and fast building of a database for different vehicles for using the disposal device according to the invention.

The disposal devices according to the first and second aspects, as well as the disposal devices mentioned above can be further designed so that the pelvic floor surface of the catch basin comprises a converging along the longitudinal direction of the collecting basin formation, in whose end preferably the drain opening is arranged.

The inventors have recognized that it is advantageous to design the pelvic floor such that it comprises a longitudinally extending formation, preferably in the form of a tapering triangle or a narrowing tube, in the tip of which the discharge opening is arranged. This formation serves as a sort of channel in the disposal of the fluid and thus improves the discharge properties of the disposal device. In particular, this formation can increase the speed of the fluid to be discharged. In this way, on the one hand a faster disposal can be ensured, on the other hand cause the improved flow characteristics improved rinsing of waste residues such as toilet paper or the like, without requiring an additional flushing device.

According to a preferred embodiment of the disposal devices according to the first and second aspects and / or the aforementioned disposal devices, the catchment basin has a raised portion arranged on the pelvic floor surface, which preferably extends in the longitudinal direction of the collecting basin.

This survey can serve on the one hand to support the vehicle when driving over and thus protect against damage by immersion in the basin interior, on the other hand, the survey can also be used to reduce the height of fall of exiting the vehicle tank wastewater by the wastewater at Draining first occurs on the survey, is braked there and then forwarded to the catch basin. In the disposal apparatus according to the second aspect of the invention, the bump may also serve to centrally support a grid or the like located in the basin opening for supporting the tire.

Such, a survey comprehensive or designed as a survey support device may be formed for example by a rigid or elastic support column, which is attached to and / or in the bottom of the catch basin. The survey is preferably carried out so that it has an upper attachment surface on which the tire of the vehicle can touch down when driving over the channel. This attachment surface can have a triangular shape in a longitudinal section with the tip pointing upwards and in this case form two waste-water guide surfaces which run obliquely from the pelvic opening into the interior of the basin at an angle. Alternatively, the surface of the attachment surface can also be formed convexly from the pelvic opening in the direction of the interior of the basin, or have concave effluent side surfaces.

An advantage of such an angular or convex design is that the fluid led out of the vehicle tank can be discharged via the oblique or semicircular surfaces of the attachment and can thus be guided more efficiently into the collecting basin. In this case, in particular the convex design is to be preferred, since a particularly efficient introduction into the catch basin can be effected here, in particular in the case of waste residues possibly present in the fluid.

In a further development of the above-mentioned embodiment, the elevation has an upper tire footprint that is at or below the upper edge of the pool rim of the catch basin. Starting from the tire contact patch, a fluid guide surface extends in the direction of the pelvic floor surface, which preferably has a concave surface.

It is advantageous to use the elevation within the pelvic floor simultaneously as a support surface and as a fluid guide surface which directs the fluid into the catch basin at a reduced rate. Particularly preferred for this purpose is an embodiment in which the elevation extends to the same height to the upper edge of the pool edge, or lies slightly below the edge, and has a tire footprint. The vehicle then sinks noticeably as it passes over the collecting basin. Furthermore, it is preferred that the elevation comprises a fluid guide surface, which extends from the tire contact patch in the direction of the pelvic floor surface. In this case, the fluid guide surface can terminate with the pelvic floor surface or terminate at some distance from it. Preferably, it is concave. The concave design in this case causes a better discharge of the fluid into the interior of the basin and thus reduces the occurrence of splashing. In addition, the concave design provides for improved drainage of debris within the fluid, as it may adhere less well to a concave surface and thus be flushed down by it with less pressure.

In a further preferred embodiment, the disposal device further comprises a feed pump which is connected to a second line end of the discharge line. In a preferred further development of this embodiment, the feed pump is designed as a rotary piston pump.

The inventors have recognized that more efficient disposal can be effected by means of a feed pump. This is especially the case when recording for the off the vehicle tank led out fluid (a tank, the sewer, etc) is slightly increased in relation to the catch basin is arranged, that is in the direction of gravity above the outlet opening of the catch basin. In these cases, it is no longer possible to initiate gravity alone. In such a case, the disposal device can be performed via a second line end of the drain line with a feed pump, preferably a rotary lobe pump. Such a rotary pump is then connected on the inlet side with the drain opening of the collecting basin. On the outlet side, the rotary lobe pump is connected to a sewer connection or a waste water collection tank.

This pump is then activated during the disposal operation so as to convey the fluid from the catch basin through the drain opening. This can create a suction that prevents splashes or odors from getting out of the sump.

In a further embodiment of the first or second aspect, the disposal device further comprises a flushing device, which is connected to a flushing water supply line.

Here, the catch basin may comprise an inlet opening, which is connected to the Spülwasserzuleitung, such as a hose. About the Spülwasserzuleitung is passed through the inlet opening rinse water in the catch basin. Alternatively, the flushing device can also be arranged on the upper pelvic wheel of the collecting basin.

The abovementioned embodiment can be developed in such a way that the flushing device at the upper edge of the basin comprises a ring line with one or more outlet openings or one or more flushing nozzles.

The flushing device can be further developed so that it is designed as a loop with outlet openings or flushing nozzles. In this embodiment, a loop runs along the circumference of the catch basin. This ring line comprises a plurality of outlet openings, from which the rinse water can be passed into the catch basin. Alternatively, several flushing nozzles can be arranged on the upper edge of the pool. The outlet or rinse nozzles introduce rinse water into the sump and clean the basin. In particular, this rinse water discharge can be carried out with a high overpressure and directed in such a way that a negative pressure in the basin is generated and thus a suction effect is achieved. This can counteract the formation and dissemination of unpleasant odors and also achieve and reinforce a reliable discharge of the wastewater from the catch basin.

In this case, it is also conceivable to use the rinse water supply additionally as a (height-adjustable) seal. For this purpose, the Spülwasserzuleitung is designed as an elastic hose with flushing nozzles. The flushing nozzles allow a controllable flushing operation, while the amount and pressure of the flushing water in the hose can be varied so that the height of the seal provided by the hose can be changed to some extent.

It is preferred that the flushing device is permanently in operation. Thus, the drain basin is continuously rinsed with rinse water.

In a further embodiment of the first or second aspect, the disposal device further comprises a tank for receiving a fluid which has been discharged through the drain line.

Particularly in the case of the stationary disposal device, but also in the case of the mobile disposal device, in particular for vehicles with tanks with large capacity, it is preferred that the discharged from the vehicle tank and derived through the drain line fluids in a specially provided for receiving these fluids tank be guided. The tank can be arranged underground. In this case, the fluid can simply be directed by gravity into the tank. However, the tank can also be arranged above ground, in particular at an elevated position in relation to the catch basin. In this case, it is advantageous if a feed pump, preferably a rotary pump, is used for discharging the fluid through the discharge line into the tank. In this configuration, it is possible to connect the rotary lobe pump on the inlet side with the tank and then build up a negative pressure within the tank. Here, the tank is connected directly to the drain opening (via the drain line) of the catch basin. Due to the negative pressure generated in the tank, the fluid is sucked from the catch basin into the tank.

It is further preferred that the disposal device according to the first or second aspect further comprises a stationary unit, wherein a tank for receiving a fluid and / or the feed pump, in particular the rotary pump, are arranged on the stationary unit and via the drain line to the catch basin are connected.

In this embodiment, at least a part of the disposal device is arranged stationary. In this case, at least the delivery pump is preferred. In the event that the disposal device additionally comprises a tank for receiving the discharged from the vehicle tank contents, this tank can also be arranged stationary. The end The fluid discharged from the vehicle tank is in this case conducted via the drain line, which serves as a connection between the fixed part of the disposal device and the arranged under the vehicle (mobile or stationary) catch basin, either directly into the sewer or in the tank arranged on the stationary unit. This can be done with the assistance of a feed pump or solely by gravity.

In the case of a stationary collecting basin, the drain line preferably runs inside the floor. As a result, destruction of the drain line can be prevented by accidental trespassing. In the case of a mobile collecting basin, it is preferable to design the drain line as stable as possible, but flexible hose at the same time, so that here too the risk of destruction can be reduced.

An advantage of this embodiment is that the amount of fluid, which is discharged from the vehicle tank, here in principle can be arbitrarily large, since the fluid can be passed directly into the sewer. Even in the event that a tank is provided for receiving the fluid, large amounts of fluid can be removed, since such a (fixed) tank can basically have a very high capacity. In addition, it is also possible here to equip the tank with a connection directly to the sewer system so that the tank can be emptied automatically, for example as described above.

Another advantage of a stationary tank for receiving is that the tank and the feed pump can be arranged in a housing provided therefor. In this way, on the one hand can be prevented that the contents of the tank, for example, heats up due to sunlight, which enhances the smell. On the other hand, the tank and delivery pump can be protected against weather and / or vandalism.

In a preferred embodiment of the first or second aspect, the disposal device further comprises a fresh water tank, which is connected to a fresh water supply line. In a further development of this preferred embodiment, the fresh water tank is arranged on the stationary unit.

From such a fresh water tank fresh water, such as drinking water, can be refilled within the vehicle by means of the fresh water supply. The fresh water tank is preferably equipped with a measuring device for measuring the amount of fresh water dispensed. This measurement can then be used for the calculation the costs incurred by the user for replenishment from the fresh water tank.

The fresh water tank can be placed on the stationary unit. The fresh water tank is preferably housed inside a housing of the stationary unit. The stationary unit then further comprises the fresh water supply, for example in the form of a hose, a valve, a faucet or the like, to allow a user, in particular the driver, to access the fresh water tank within the housing so as to receive the fresh water within the vehicle to refill.

According to another preferred embodiment of the disposal device according to the first or second aspect, the disposal device comprises at least one camera for recording an area above the catch basin and a display device arranged to display to an operator the record of the camera.

In the case of a mobile collecting basin, the camera is preferably attached to the positioning device. In the case of a stationary collecting basin, it is advantageous to accommodate the camera within the pool or within the road surface.

This embodiment is based on the recognition that it is necessary to position the catch basin as accurately as possible under the outlet opening of the vehicle so as to be able to effectively prevent as much as possible the occurrence of splashes and the spread of odors. Such a precise positioning is therefore a difficulty because the outlet opening is located below the vehicle and thus a user must always have the area under the vehicle in view when positioning, whereby the user additional inconvenience may arise.

The above embodiment solves this problem by providing the user with at least one camera and a corresponding display device. The camera is set up to record an area above the catch basin. This area is then displayed to the user as a record of the camera on the display device, such as an LCD screen.

The "area above the catch basin" describes an area above the catch basin, whereby the catch basin does not always have to be recognizable within this area. In the case of a mobile and height adjustable catch basin is For example, it is possible for the sump to not be within the range recorded by the camera in a lowered position and to enter that area only upon lifting. This makes it possible that in the case of positioning of the catch basin below the outlet opening and the outlet opening in the area recorded by the camera can be seen.

Now, if the catch basin passes through the positioning device in the area below the outlet opening, the user can recognize on the display device, this outlet opening. This allows the user to determine, based on the image transmitted by the camera, whether the catch basin is already well aligned or whether further corrections of the position are necessary. It is also advantageous that the user can keep his eyes on the display device when changing the position and does not have to interrupt the positioning process for regular checking of the position. As a result, on the one hand the inconvenience for the user is reduced, on the other hand, a faster positioning of the catch basin - both in the horizontal direction by moving, as well as in the vertical direction by adjusting the height - allows.

Alternatively or additionally, according to a further embodiment, it is preferred that the disposal device comprises a mirror device.

Such a mirror device can be arranged on the positioning device in the case of a mobile collecting basin. The mirrors allow the operator to observe the underbody of the vehicle when operating the positioning device by means of the handles. The operator can thus easily search the outlet opening of the vehicle on the underbody and align the positioning device as accurately as possible. It is preferred that the mirror device has markings on which the operator can orient himself when positioning the positioning device. Particularly advantageous is a marker in the form of a ring or reticule.

In the case of a stationary collecting basin in the form of a collecting channel, the mirror device is preferably arranged on both sides of the channel such that the vehicle driver can also detect corresponding markings on the road surface and / or on the vehicle and optionally on the vehicle underbody. Again, markings on and / or on the mirror device are advantageous.

In a further preferred embodiment, the disposal device comprises a lighting device.

It is advantageous to equip the disposal device with a lighting device, which on the one hand provides sufficient illumination for the operator in the case of night operation, on the other hand, but also ensures sufficient lighting for positioning. For this purpose, the lighting device may comprise one or more lighting elements, which are arranged at different locations of the disposal device.

In particular, it is preferable to provide illumination of the controls for the disposal device. Furthermore, it is advantageous to illuminate the mirror device so that the driver can perform a positioning in the dark.

Furthermore, it is advantageous to equip the disposal device with a lighting for a camera and / or the camera itself with a lighting element. As a result, a well-recognizable record of the area above the catch basin can be achieved by the camera even in low light conditions below the vehicle. In particular, such a lighting device enables a record of good quality and high visibility to be displayed on the display even in bad weather or at night.

According to a further preferred embodiment of a disposal device according to the first or second aspect, the disposal device comprises a heating device.

Such a heating device can in particular be attached to the fresh water tank, to the flushing device and / or to the flushing water feed line, to the catch basin and / or to the drain line. By a heater operation of the disposal device even at frosty temperatures readily - especially without interference or waiting - possible because the heater can prevent freezing of the water within the tank and / or the flushing device. Furthermore, it can be prevented by heating the catch basin, the drain line and / or the Spülwasserzuleitung that the therein routed fluids, especially water, cool down during the line, freeze and clog the lines or the catch basin or possibly even destroy. It is preferred that the heating device has a temperature sensor to measure a temperature and compare it with a previously set value. The heater is in this case controlled so that it holds by activation and deactivation, the temperature in the vicinity of the temperature sensor to the desired value.

The disposal device according to the first or second aspect may be configured to further include a cleaning device, wherein the cleaning device is preferably arranged on the stationary unit.

Such a cleaning device can be used to clean the catch basin. For this purpose, the cleaning device may comprise a housing which has an access opening, via which the mobile collecting basin, optionally together with the positioning device, can be brought into the housing. Inside the housing, the cleaning device on one or more outlet openings for rinse water, which are supplied via a corresponding supply line with rinse water. This rinse water can be removed via the supply line from a corresponding flushing water tank. This flushing water tank can be arranged either outside or inside the housing of the cleaning device.

However, the cleaning device may also include a suction lance and / or a cleaning brush that may be used to clean the stationary catch basin as well as the environment around the outlet opening of the vehicle tank. In this case, the rinse water is passed through the suction lance in the catch basin.

In this context, it is also possible that the cleaning device is connected via a drinking water supply line directly to the drinking water network. The drinking water is then passed into the cleaning device to which cleaning agents are added. The cleaning device may also include a tank or drain to a channel for discharging the corresponding waste water.

The cleaning device may additionally comprise a storage tank for means for disinfection and be arranged to perform a disinfection process after a rinse.

In a further preferred embodiment, the disposal device comprises one or more storage and retrieval devices, in which the drain line, the fresh water supply line and / or the rinse water supply line are accommodated in the non-operating position.

According to this embodiment, the individual lines, in particular in the form of tubes, are placed in corresponding storage and retrieval devices when not in use. Preferably, these devices have a mechanism for retrieving these tubes. In this case, the device may comprise, for example, a weight which acts against the hose and so on feeds into the device. Alternatively, the device can also be configured as a reel with a spring mechanism. The spring mechanism is designed here so that it rotates the reel and so wound the tube within the device.

It is possible to equip the disposal apparatus with a working liquid filling apparatus comprising a tank of working liquid and an operating liquid supply. Such operating fluid supply line, such as a hose, can be used by the user to refill the operating fluid within a mobile wet room or toilet.

The disposal device may also be modified to include a suction lance in addition to the drain line or instead of the drain line. This suction lance can be used to vacuum the vehicle tank or the toilet bowl and a hand wash basin. For this purpose, it is particularly preferred that the stationary unit has a switch or lever, which allows switching between the use of the drain line and the suction lance.

Furthermore, it is possible to modify the above-mentioned embodiments so that at least part of the positioning operation is performed by drive motors including a control device for controlling the positioning operation. In this case, it is also possible to completely automate the entire positioning process by means of image processing measures. In this case, the user merely has to manually open the outlet opening of the vehicle.

The disposal device is preferably monitored by video surveillance to protect it against vandalism. It is also possible to use license plate monitoring or other types of statistical data collection to better understand which users are using which services, how often and at what times, so as to better tailor the disposal device to the user's needs. This statistical data analysis can be carried out both automatically and manually.

Such a statistical data acquisition for a disposal device can also be achieved, for example, by a ticket system in which a ticket is output for each vehicle, which in each case contains information such as an identification of the user, the vehicle owner, the date, the time, the marking and the like. On the basis of this data, it can be determined who was or should use the waste disposal system at which point in time, and thus also determines who has to bear the costs for which use.

The disposal device may be modified to include a metering device that measures an amount of the fluid that has been drained through the drain line.

On the one hand, this embodiment makes it possible to determine how far the tank is filled to receive the contents from the vehicle tank. Thus, a timely emptying of this tank can be initiated. Furthermore, it is also possible in this way to determine how much fluid has been passed into the tank by a particular operator. On the basis of this amount, it can be determined, for example, what costs the operator has to bear for this disposal process.

It is also possible to provide the disposal device with other measuring devices, for example for rinse water or fresh water, to better adjust the costs for the operator. A dosing device for adding and dosing of odor-inhibiting and / or cleaning substances in the fresh water supplied to the vehicle is also advantageous.

In order to increase the operator comfort, it is further preferred to provide in the area around the disposal device hand basin for cleaning the hands after the disposal process, trash for disposal of waste accumulated in the vehicle, and other cleaning equipment such as vacuum cleaners or a telescopic brush with flushing function for cleaning the vehicle windows ,

In this connection it is envisaged that the costs for the disposal in this disposal device can be reimbursed in different ways. For example, it is possible for the user to pay for one or more chips before using the disposal device and to successively insert them into the disposal device in order to keep them in operation. Also, a previous or subsequent payment by cash and credit card or the like is possible.

For the intended nighttime operation of the disposal device still further lighting options can be provided. It is preferred that all control panels and possibly all operating instructions are sufficiently illuminated.

Although not further described below, the invention further relates to a method for disposal, wherein for disposal a disposal device according to one of the aforementioned embodiments is used.

Thus, a disposal device is created on the whole, on the one hand effectively prevents the spread of odors and the emergence of splashes during disposal and on the other hand can be easily operated by a user. The disposal device according to the invention and its preferred embodiments thus allow use by a non-trained in the use driver of the vehicle in question. As a result, the provision of appropriate personnel for disposal is unnecessary.

Another aspect is a method for discharging waste water from a collection tank of a vehicle, wherein the wastewater is passed by gravity into a catch basin, wherein the catch basin can be positioned as accurately as possible by means of a positioning device below the vehicle.

Another aspect is a method for discharging sewage from a collection tank of a vehicle by gravity in a designed as a gutter stationary collecting basin, in which a running over of the collecting basin and a correspondingly accurate positioning of the vehicle is made possible by means arranged in the basin opening of the collecting basin support device.

Another aspect is a method for discharging waste water from a collection tank of a vehicle in which the wastewater is passed by gravity into a catch basin, rinse water is introduced from a rinse water source with overpressure in the catch basin and the wastewater runs out of the catch basin together with the rinse water ,

The methods can be developed by detecting an area above the catch basin by means of an image capture device, reproducing it on an image display device, and positioning the catch basin below the outlet opening of the collection tank with the aid of the image display device.

The methods can be carried out in particular with the device described above and the further development forms of this device and be developed accordingly.

Another aspect of the invention is a method for disposing of waste water from waste water tanks of vehicles, comprising the steps of: positioning a vehicle in a position above a sump in which a discharge opening of a waste tank of the vehicle is arranged in the direction of gravity above a basin opening of the sump, and Draining the waste water from the waste tank via the discharge opening by gravity through the basin opening into the catch basin, wherein the positioning of the vehicle is performed by using a distance measuring unit to measure a distance between a reference point and a surface of the vehicle, logically associate a positioning characteristic associated with the vehicle with the measured distance, and logically linking the positioning parameter and distance using a user interface A signal is issued to the driver of the vehicle, which outputs the correct positioning of the vent opening above the pelvic opening and / or a driving instruction to achieve this correct positioning.

With this method, a simple disposal of waste water from waste water tanks of vehicles is achieved by enabling a reliable positioning of the vehicle based on stored data describing the location of a drain port of the waste water tank on this vehicle. The driver can simply position his vehicle with the aid of a distance measurement and a travel instruction signal derived therefrom in such a way that the outlet nozzle is positioned exactly above the pelvic opening. For this, in particular to the mode of operation and the further developments of the method, reference is made to the previously explained, corresponding embodiments of the disposal device according to the invention.

The object underlying the invention is further achieved by a disposal device for a vehicle, comprising a catch basin with an upper basin opening and a drain opening, a drain line with a first line end, which is connected to the drain opening, and a second line end, which further comprises a Vacuum source having a vacuum port, wherein the second line end of the drain line is connected to the vacuum port.

In the disposal device according to the invention designed in this way, the collecting basin opened at the top is positioned at some distance below the outlet opening of the vehicle. During the disposal process, the vacuum source is activated so that a vacuum is created in the area between the vehicle and the catch basin. This negative pressure causes the contents coming out of the outlet opening (gray water, faeces, and the like) to be led directly into the catch basin without spattering. Also, the spread of odors is limited by this negative pressure on the area of the basin opening of the catch basin.

The catch basin may in all embodiments of the invention preferably have a bottom inclined relative to a horizontal plane. The slope can be made to pass from the vehicle tank into the catch basin directed content leads in the direction of the drain opening. It is preferred that the drain opening is located approximately centrally in the catch basin, wherein the catch basin has the shape of a funnel. However, the catch basin can also be designed so that the drain opening is attached to one side of the catch basin and the slope from the opposite side in the direction of the drain opening runs down.

The vacuum source may be a vacuum port of a central vacuum system which is connected, for example, to a tank or intermediate container and puts it under vacuum. As a vacuum source and a vacuum generator, for example, a vacuum pump may be provided decentralized to the disposal device itself. Furthermore, the vacuum source can preferably be designed as a pump, which is designed both to build a negative pressure on the suction side and to convey the wastewater. This can be achieved, for example, with a rotary lobe pump as a vacuum source. Such a rotary pump is then connected on the inlet side with the drain opening of the collecting basin. On the outlet side, the rotary lobe pump is connected to a sewer connection or a waste water collection tank. In other configurations, the rotary lobe pump may also be connected to a waste tank on the inlet side for establishing a negative pressure therein. In this configuration, the waste water tank is connected directly to the drainage opening of the catch basin.

The drain opening is preferably connected to a first line end of the drain line. This connection is preferably made sealingly for the fluid, for example by a seal with corresponding sealing rings. The drain line can preferably be designed as a hose made of stainless steel or plastic, the first end of the hose is attached as first line end by means of the seal at the drain opening and the second end of the hose is connected as a second line end by means of a vacuum connection to the vacuum source. The drain line can also be designed as a telescopic tube with or without corresponding hinges, wherein the first and the second pipe end are sealingly connected to the drain opening and the vacuum port. By means of this drain line, the contents of the vehicle tank can be routed for disposal, for example, directly into the sewer.

In a preferred embodiment, the disposal device according to the invention can be developed by the catch basin is adjustably mounted in height on a frame. The frame can be fixed in this case and comprise pivoting or sliding devices for rotational or translational mobility of the collecting basin. The frame may continue to be movable, so in particular be carried out by means of rollers or the like.

The term "height-adjustable" is to be understood in this context as a change in the position of the catch basin along an axis parallel to the direction of gravity. Such a height adjustability can be achieved, for example, by pivotally mounting the catch basin about a horizontal axis, ie orthogonal to the direction of gravity. Alternatively, the height adjustment can also be achieved by means of a lever mechanism in which the catch basin is raised and lowered by a lever arm. Such a lever mechanism can be operated both manually and electrically by means of drive motors. An example of an electric drive motor here is a Spindelhubantrieb. In such a case, the lever mechanism can be equipped with a corresponding brake lever operated by the user. If the user releases the brake lever, a signal can be transmitted to the spindle lifting drive, for example by establishing an electrical contact, to set the operation of the drive.

This embodiment has the advantage that the distance between the vehicle floor and the upper basin opening of the collecting basin can be adapted to the vehicle. As a result, the catch basin can be positioned even better. Here, the catch basin is preferably adjusted so that the distance between the upper basin opening and the catch basin is adapted to the size of the cross section of the drain line. The corresponding gas passage area should preferably be at least half of the cross section of the drain line.

The inventors have recognized that a more accurate positioning along the direction of gravity - and thus a smaller distance between the upper edge of the pool and the vehicle - can cause a better vacuum generation in the upper basin opening of the catch basin by the vacuum source. This improved vacuum generation results in more efficient routing of the tank contents discharged from the exhaust port into the sump. As a result, the occurrence of adverse effects on the environment can thus be prevented even more reliably. Furthermore, this can be avoided that the catch basin sealingly applies to the waste water tank of the vehicle and builds a high negative pressure in the waste water tank, which leads to damage of the waste water tank or associated functional components. In particular, the catch basin may for this purpose have at its upper edge two, three or more spacers which ensure a predetermined Mindestspaltmaß between catch basin and waste water tank.

According to a development of the preferred embodiment, the catch basin can be adjusted in height via a parallelogram lifting device. For this purpose, the catch basin is arranged on one or more corresponding parallelogram lift arms. These lift arms can then move along an axis that is parallel is aligned to the direction of gravity, to be moved. Depending on the direction of movement, the catch basin is raised or lowered. The movement can be done manually or by appropriate motors. In the second case, the parallelogram lifting device must continue to be equipped with a control unit for operating the motors.

According to a preferred embodiment, the disposal device further comprises a tank for receiving a fluid which has been discharged through the drain line. Alternatively, or in addition to a discharge by means of the drain pipe into the sewer, the disposal device may further comprise a corresponding tank for receiving the discharged from the vehicle tank contents. This tank has a certain capacity, which can be determined for example by means of a measuring device on the tank. If the filling level is appropriate, the tank can then be emptied manually or automatically, for example through a discharge opening, which is connected to a supply line to the sewage system. The discharge opening can be equipped with a valve, which can be opened, for example, manually by a user, preferably in accordance with trained personnel. For example, automatic draining can be realized by opening such a valve in the outlet port in response to a signal output by the measuring device.

In a further preferred embodiment, the disposal device further comprises a positioning device with a handle and at least one steering roller, wherein the collecting basin is arranged on the positioning device and the positioning device is arranged to move the collecting basin from a non-operating position to an operating position.

An "operating position" in the sense of all embodiments is the position in which the disposal device is brought for the disposal process. In this position, the vehicle is in the (disposal) park position and the sump is aligned below the exhaust port such that the vehicle tank contents coming out of the exhaust port are directed in the direction of gravity into the sump. Thus, the operating position describes the position in which the disposal device can be "put into operation". By "put into operation" is to be understood that gray water and the like are discharged through the disposal device.

In the sense of all embodiments, a "non-operating position" is thus to be understood as meaning a position in which the disposal operation is not feasible and / or undesirable, that is to say a position in the catch basin and outlet opening of the container Vehicle are not aligned so that the discharged from the outlet opening vehicle tank contents is passed in the direction of gravity in the catch basin.

Such a positioning device is preferably a frame comprising three or more struts extending along a plane perpendicular to the direction of gravity. These struts are connected together so that they form, for example, a rectangle or a triangle. On a lower side of these struts one or more castors are arranged so that the frame can be moved over the ground. It is preferred that these castors are pivotally mounted about an axis which is parallel to the direction of gravity. As a result, a mobility in all directions can be ensured.

It is further preferred that the struts are formed so that they form an inner, delimited by the struts area in which the catch basin, in particular for positioning and storage in the non-operating position, can be lowered, and from the it can be raised again to perform a disposal operation.

Preferably, the frame further comprises two or more struts, which extend along a vertical plane, ie a plane parallel to the direction of gravity. The struts can be designed as handles or equipped with handles. These handles can be used by the user, especially the driver, to position the sump below the exit port of the bus. As a result, the catch basin is brought from the non-operating position to the operating position. Similarly, the user can bring the positioning device by means of the handles from the operating position to the non-operating position.

In a preferred embodiment of the disposal device according to the second preferred embodiment, the tank for receiving the fluid and / or the vacuum source are arranged on the positioning device.

In this case, the frame forming the positioning device is designed to include a support for the tank for receiving the fluid. The vacuum source is in this case preferably designed as a vacuum connection. In this embodiment, the disposal device is completely mobile and thus can be completely moved for disposal to the vehicle. The disposal device is preferably aligned relative to the vehicle so that at least the catch basin is arranged below the vehicle. After the disposal process, the catch basin can be brought out under the vehicle and the disposal device can be moved away from the vehicle again. The attached to the positioning device Tank can then be emptied at a later time, for example within an extra designated area and by staff provided therefor. This application is particularly advantageous for vehicles with lower capacity vehicle tanks.

According to a further preferred embodiment of the disposal device, this further comprises a stationary unit. The tank for receiving and / or the vacuum source can in this case be arranged on the stationary unit and connected via the drain line to the catch basin.

In this embodiment, at least a part of the disposal device is arranged stationary. Preferably, in this case at least vacuum source is stationary. In the event that the disposal device additionally comprises a tank for receiving the discharged from the vehicle tank content, this tank is also arranged stationary. The discharged from the vehicle tank content is in this case via the drain line, which serves as a connection between the stationary part of the disposal device and positionable under the bus drain basin, by means of the vacuum source either directly into the sewer or in the arranged on the stationary unit tank directed.

An advantage of this embodiment is that the amount of fluid, which is discharged from the vehicle tank, here in principle can be arbitrarily large, since the fluid can be passed directly into the sewer. Even in the event that a tank is provided for receiving the fluid, large amounts of fluid can be removed, since such a (fixed) tank can basically have a very high capacity. In addition, it is also possible here to equip the tank with a connection directly to the sewer system so that the tank can be emptied automatically, for example as described above. Another advantage of a stationary tank for containment is that the tank and vacuum source can be located in a housing provided therefor. In this way, on the one hand can be prevented that the contents of the tank, for example, heats up due to sunlight, which enhances the smell. On the other hand, the tank and vacuum source can be protected from the weather, which can slow down the wear of the tank and the vacuum source.

In a further preferred embodiment, the disposal device further comprises a fresh water tank which is connected to a fresh water supply line. From this fresh water tank fresh water, such as drinking water, can be refilled within the vehicle by means of the fresh water supply. The fresh water tank is preferably equipped with a measuring device for measuring the amount of fresh water dispensed. This measurement can then be used to calculate the Costs incurred by the user for replenishment from the fresh water tank.

The above-mentioned embodiment can be further developed in that the fresh water tank is arranged on the stationary unit. The fresh water tank is preferably housed inside a housing of the stationary unit. The stationary unit then further comprises the fresh water supply line, for example in the form of a hose, a valve, a faucet or the like, to allow a user, in particular the driver, to access the fresh water tank within the housing so as to receive the fresh water within the vehicle to refill.

According to a further preferred embodiment, the positioning device of the disposal device further comprises at least one camera for recording an area above the collecting basin and a display device which is arranged to display the recording of the camera to a user.

This embodiment is based on the recognition that it is necessary to position the catch basin as accurately as possible under the outlet opening of the vehicle so as to be able to effectively prevent as much as possible the occurrence of splashes and the spread of odors. Such a precise positioning is therefore a difficulty because the outlet opening is located below the vehicle and thus a user must always have the area under the vehicle in view when positioning, whereby the user additional inconvenience may arise.

The above embodiment solves this problem by providing the user with at least one camera and a corresponding display device. The camera is set up to record an area above the catch basin. This area is then displayed to the user as a record of the camera on the display device, such as an LCD screen.

The "area above the catch basin" describes an area above the catch basin, whereby the catch basin does not always have to be recognizable within this area. For example, it is possible that the catch basin in a lowered position is not within the range recorded by the camera and only enters this area when lifted. This makes it possible that in the case of positioning of the catch basin below the outlet opening and the outlet opening in the area recorded by the camera can be seen.

Now, if the catch basin passes through the positioning device in the area below the outlet opening, the user can recognize on the display device, this outlet opening. This allows the user to determine, based on the image transmitted by the camera, whether the catch basin is already well aligned or whether further corrections of the position are necessary. It is also advantageous that the user can keep his eyes on the display device when changing the position and does not have to interrupt the positioning process for regular checking of the position. As a result, on the one hand the inconvenience for the user is reduced, on the other hand, a faster positioning of the catch basin - both in the horizontal direction by moving, as well as in the vertical direction by adjusting the height - allows.

The above-mentioned preferred embodiment can be further developed in that at least one camera is arranged on the positioning device, and the catch basin is adjustable in height relative to the camera. In this case, the camera is thus fixed to the frame of the positioning device in a predetermined position, this position being selected so that the camera receives the area above the collecting basin. The display device is in this case preferably mounted in the vicinity of the handle for the user to the frame of the positioning device. The camera is then pushed under the vehicle by means of the positioning device together with the catch basin and transmits the images of the positioning process recorded under the vehicle.

As an alternative or in addition to the above-mentioned further development, at least one camera may also be arranged on the collecting basin in a further preferred development, the collecting basin and the camera being jointly adjustable in height. In this way, a better spatial orientation of the catch basin can be ensured, since a parallax error can be prevented by the joint movement of the camera and the collecting basin.

The aforementioned development can be further developed in that the at least one camera is arranged in a lower basin bottom of the collecting basin and a receiving direction of the camera runs along an axis which is aligned parallel to the direction of gravity.

In this development, the camera can be mounted, for example in the middle of the catch basin. The camera thus records the area above the catch basin, so to speak, from the "viewpoint of the catch basin". This viewing angle is then displayed to the user on the display device. The user can thereby immediately recognize whether the catch basin is in the correct position. Preferably, the Display device for this purpose show a mark such as a crosshair, which indicates the optimal positioning of the catch basin.

In a further preferred embodiment, the recording of the at least one camera comprises a first recording mode and a second recording mode. Here, the first recording mode may include a larger recording area, whereby coarse positioning of the catch basin is possible, and the second recording mode includes a smaller recording area, which enables finer positioning.

Here, the first and second recording modes may be provided by the same camera. For example, this camera can be equipped with a zoom lens with wide-angle function. In the first recording mode, the camera can thus record the area above the catch basin at a wide angle. To provide the second recording mode, the camera can then use the zoom function to enlarge the area above the catch basin in which the exhaust port of the vehicle tank is located.

The change between the first and the second recording mode is preferably carried out by a user action, such as the operation of a button or switch. It is also possible that both recording modes are displayed to the user at the same time, for example on a two-part display (so-called "split screen"). In this case, each page of the display preferably contains an indication of which recording mode it displays. In a preferred development of the above-mentioned embodiment, the first recording mode is provided by at least one camera, which is attached to the positioning device. The second recording mode is provided by at least one camera mounted on the catch basin.

In this embodiment, it is possible not only to enlarge or reduce the area that can be viewed in the respective recording modes, but also to change the viewing angle. Here, in the first recording mode for coarse positioning of the positioning device, the user first considers the area above the catch basin "from the side". In this way, in particular the positioning along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle can be carried out more easily. For fine positioning then the second recording mode is used, which is provided by the camera, which is attached to the catch basin, preferably in the bottom of the catch basin. In this second recording mode, the area recorded by the camera above the sump will be much smaller, allowing more accurate positioning.

The recordings of the camera at the positioning device and the camera at the catch basin can also be displayed side by side here as first and second recording modes on the display. Alternatively, a switch or a button can also be provided here by means of which the user can switch back and forth between the two recording modes.

By means of the first and second recording mode of this embodiment and its development, it is also possible to further assist the user in positioning the catch basin. For this purpose, the positioning device may comprise a device for image processing the recording of the at least one camera. Since the discharge ports of vehicle tanks are usually normalized to a 3-inch-diameter round orifice, it is possible to set the image-processing device to recognize the discharge ports. The display on the positioning device may then be configured to issue instructions to the user for positioning based on the previously performed image processing. These instructions can be provided, for example, in the form of arrows on the display, which specify a direction in which the positioning device is to be moved. Alternatively or additionally, the display can also indicate a target area in the form of a circle or reticule and color - for example, by a change from red (not well positioned) to green (well positioned) - mark when a good position is reached. In this case, the image processing can be used both for coarse positioning and for fine positioning. It is also conceivable to equip the device for image processing with a drive device for automated positioning of the positioning device. In such a case, the positioning can be completely automatic and without user interaction.

According to a further preferred embodiment, the disposal device further comprises a lighting device, wherein the lighting device is in particular configured to provide illumination along a recording direction of at least one camera. As a result, a well-recognizable record of the area above the catch basin can always be achieved by the camera. In particular, such a lighting device enables a record of good quality and high visibility to be displayed on the display even in bad weather or at night.

In a further preferred embodiment, the disposal device further comprises a fixing device, which is designed to fix the positioning device in the operating position. It is advantageous here that a securing against accidental movement out of the operating position can be provided by this fixing device. Such a fixing device is preferred as a braking device executed, which is put out of operation by pressing a lever by the user. Here, the braking device comprises one or more struts, which are aligned along the direction of gravity. These struts are perpendicular to the ground surface when the user does not operate the lever, thus lifting the castors from the ground at the location of the positioning device. As a result, a method using the castors is no longer possible. As the user operates the lever, the bars are raised and spaced from the ground surface. As a result, the positioning device is lowered and the castors come in contact with the bottom surface. A method of the positioning device is possible. This type of braking device can be attached at any point of the positioning device along a plane perpendicular to the direction of gravity. Furthermore, such a fixing device may also be a braking device which, upon actuation of a pedal, a switch, or the like, fixes the castors - and thus the positioning device. Furthermore, it is also possible to provide hydraulic or mechanical brake elements for height adjustment, for example by means of the parallel lifting device.

According to a preferred embodiment of the disposal device, the vacuum source is a vacuum generating device. Such a vacuum generating device may be, for example, a portable device having a housing containing a vacuum or vacuum pump. Alternatively, the vacuum generating device may also constitute the stationary unit or a part thereof. It is preferable that such a vacuum generating device includes a control unit such as a control panel for setting and changing values of the vacuum generating device. The operation of the control panel may be possible for each user or enabled only after entering a password.

The aforesaid preferred embodiment may be further developed in that the vacuum generating device comprises the tank for receiving the fluid and / or the fresh water tank. Here, the tank for receiving and / or the fresh water tank can be accommodated within the housing of the vacuum device.

In an alternative embodiment to the above embodiment, the vacuum source is a vacuum port connected to the second conduit end via the vacuum port. In this case, the fresh water tank and / or the tank for receiving can be arranged separately from the vacuum port. This may optionally be done within a stationary housing.

Although the embodiments described above allow a very precise positioning of the catch basin, it is possible that, for example, due to incorrectly performed positioning, the catch basin comes into flush contact with the vehicle underbody. In such a case, if the vacuum generating device continues to generate a vacuum, the tank inside the vehicle may be seriously damaged. The inventors have therefore recognized that there is a need for protection against the complete closure of the drainage basin with the vehicle underbody.

For this purpose, it is provided in a further preferred embodiment of the disposal device, that the catch basin comprises a pool edge for limiting the pelvic opening, wherein at least one air inlet opening is arranged below the pool edge.

Through this at least one air inlet opening below the pool edge of the catch basin also penetrates air into the catch basin when it rests flush with the vehicle underbody. This continuous influx of air prevents excessive vacuum within the sump and vehicle tank, thereby ensuring that the vehicle's tank is not damaged. The at least one air inlet opening can in this case be equipped with a non-return valve, such as a check valve, which serves to maintain the negative pressure up to a certain value.

In an alternative embodiment of the disposal device to the embodiment described above, the catch basin further comprises a pool edge for limiting the pelvic opening, wherein at least one spacer is arranged on the pool edge. As a result, a continuous inflow of ambient air and thus a safeguard against excessive vacuum is ensured.

According to a further preferred embodiment of the disposal device, the collecting basin further comprises a flushing device, which is connected to a flushing water supply line.

Here, the catch basin may comprise an inlet opening, which is connected to the Spülwasserzuleitung, such as a hose. About the Spülwasserzuleitung is passed through the inlet opening rinse water in the catch basin. Alternatively, the flushing device can also be arranged on the upper pelvic wheel of the collecting basin. Here, the Spülwasserzuleitung serve as a spacer, which prevents a flush closing between catch basin and vehicle underbody and thus creates a gap between catch basin and vehicle underbody. Through this gap a continuous supply of air to the area within the sump and the tank inside the vehicle can be ensured.

The abovementioned embodiment can be developed in such a way that the flushing device at the upper edge of the basin comprises a ring line with one or more outlet openings (124, 224) or one or more flushing nozzles.

In this embodiment, a loop runs along the circumference of the catch basin. This ring line comprises a plurality of outlet openings, from which the rinse water can be passed into the catch basin. Alternatively, several flushing nozzles can be arranged on the upper edge of the pool. The outlet or rinse nozzles introduce rinse water into the sump and clean the basin. In particular, this rinse water discharge can be carried out with a high overpressure and directed in such a way that a negative pressure in the basin is generated and thus a suction effect is achieved. This can counteract the formation and dissemination of unpleasant odors and also achieve and reinforce a reliable discharge of the wastewater from the catch basin.

It is preferred that the flushing device is permanently in operation. Thus, the drain basin is continuously rinsed with rinse water. This rinse water is removed by the negative pressure generated by the vacuum source, through the drain line. For this purpose, the vacuum source must be permanently in operation.

If, in such a case, the camera is placed in the bottom of the collecting basin and thus films out of the collecting basin, this permanent flushing can lead to inaccuracies in the recording of the camera, in particular in the second recording mode. As a result, a precise positioning can be difficult. To counteract this, it is possible in such a case to briefly interrupt the operation of the flushing device for the purpose of fine positioning. This interruption may preferably take place by means of a signal to the flushing device. This signal can be generated, for example, in that the braking device and the positioning device are equipped with two opposing contacts. In this case, a contact is made when the brake device, for example, by a lever, is put out of action, the positioning device to be moved so. When contact is established, a signal is then output to the flushing device, which causes the flushing device to interrupt the flushing process. If the positioning is done and the brake device is put into operation, the contact is interrupted, the signal is not issued and the flushing continues the flushing process.

When positioning it can thus come to a situation in which the vacuum generating device can no longer aspirate any liquid. It is therefore preferred that the vacuum generating device is as little as possible sensitive to dry running of the vacuum generating device. In a preferred embodiment, the vacuum generating device is therefore designed as a rotary piston pump, which is insensitive to interruptions of the liquid supply.

In the case of alternative vacuum generating devices, which are more susceptible to dry running, the flushing device may also be arranged to either interrupt its operation only at short intervals and then resume it, or interrupt the operation of the vacuum generating device simultaneously with the operation of the flushing device is resumed.

According to a further preferred embodiment, the catch basin is pivotally mounted by means of a ball joint about a first horizontal axis and a second horizontal axis, wherein the first axis is perpendicular in relation to the second axis.

This embodiment of the invention is based on the recognition that the vehicle is not always parked on a completely flat surface. In such a case, it may happen that the catch basin is not aligned along its full circumference with the same distance to the vehicle underbody. To counteract this, the catch basin can be stored by means of a ball joint. This ball joint now causes the catch basin by the action of gravity parallel to the ground - and thus parallel to the vehicle underbody - aligned.

In a further preferred embodiment, the disposal device further comprises a measuring device which measures an amount of the fluid which has been discharged through the discharge line.

On the one hand, this embodiment makes it possible to determine how far the tank is filled to receive the contents from the vehicle tank. Thus, a timely emptying of this tank can be initiated. Furthermore, it is also possible in this way to determine how much fluid was passed into the tank by a particular user. On the basis of this amount, it can be determined, for example, what costs the user has to bear for this disposal process.

According to a further preferred embodiment, the disposal device further comprises a heating device. Such a heating device can in particular be attached to the fresh water tank, to the flushing device and / or to the flushing water feed line, to the catch basin and / or to the drain line. By a heater is an operation of the disposal device even in freezing temperatures easily - especially without interference or waiting time - possible because the heater can prevent freezing of the water inside the tank and / or the flushing device. Furthermore, it can be prevented by heating the catch basin, the drain line and / or the Spülwasserzuleitung that the therein routed fluids, especially water, cool down during the line, freeze and clog the lines or the catch basin or possibly even destroy.

In a further preferred embodiment, the disposal device comprises a cleaning device, wherein the collecting basin is arranged in the non-operating position in the cleaning device.

Such a cleaning device may comprise a housing. The housing in this case has an access opening, via which the collecting basin, optionally together with the positioning device, is brought into the housing. Inside the housing, the cleaning device on one or more outlet openings for rinse water, which are supplied via a corresponding supply line with rinse water. This rinse water can be removed via the supply line from a corresponding flushing water tank. This flushing water tank can be arranged either outside or inside the housing of the cleaning device. In this context, it is also possible that the cleaning device is connected via a drinking water supply line directly to the drinking water network. The drinking water is then passed into the cleaning device to which cleaning agents are added. The cleaning device may also include a tank or drain to a channel for discharging the corresponding waste water. The outlet openings can be equipped with high-pressure nozzles. It is preferred that these high-pressure nozzles can be moved out of the housing.

The cleaning device may additionally comprise a storage tank for means for disinfection and be arranged to perform a disinfection process after a rinse.

In a further preferred embodiment, the disposal device further comprises one or more storage and retrieval devices, in which the drain line, the fresh water supply line and / or the rinse water supply line are accommodated in the non-operating position.

According to this embodiment, the individual lines, in particular in the form of hoses, in corresponding devices for storing and retrieving arranged when not in use. Preferably, these devices have a mechanism for retrieving these tubes. In this case, the device may, for example, comprise a weight which acts against the tube and thus draws it into the device. Alternatively, the device can also be configured as a reel with a spring mechanism. The spring mechanism is designed here so that it rotates the reel and so wound the tube within the device.

According to a further aspect of the invention, the object according to the invention is furthermore achieved by a disposal device for a vehicle of the type mentioned initially, wherein the disposal device is characterized by a flushing device which is connected to a flushing water supply line. With this disposal device there is no need for a vacuum source, since the flush prevents the occurrence of adverse effects such as splashes and odors.

As already described above, the catch basin is preferably designed as a funnel whose diameter narrows in the direction of the drain opening of the catch basin. The inventors have recognized that this restriction acts as a venturi when the rinse water from the rinse water supply is directed into the sump at the appropriate pressure. In this case, only by supplying the rinsing water - and without a vacuum source - creates a negative pressure in the region of the drain opening. By this negative pressure, the discharged from the vehicle tank fluid is passed directly into the drain opening. This prevents splashes and the spread of odors.

The aforementioned disposal device can be developed according to one of the previous embodiments.

It is also conceivable to modify the above-mentioned embodiments such that the disposal device consists of a stationary unit with a vacuum generating device, a tank for receiving the contents of the tank of the vehicle, a fresh water tank, a flushing device and / or a camera and a includes movable unit. The movable unit is in this case designed so that the additional drain basin has a pivot mechanism for pivoting about a third axis, which runs parallel to the direction of gravity. In this case, the drainage basin can be fastened to the stationary unit with a first end of a fastening. At this first end and the pivoting mechanism is arranged about the third axis. In this case, the vehicle must be brought to a disposal parking position and the sump can be pivoted under the vehicle and so positioned below the outlet opening of the vehicle.

The drain basin may also be attached to a positioning device with a first end of a fixture. Again, the pivoting mechanism is provided at this first end. With this construction, however, maneuvering into the disposal parking position is eliminated. Rather, the positioning device is used to position the catch basin, which can be brought by means of the pivoting mechanism about the third axis in the disposal position. The drain line can be executed here as a hose or as a telescopic tube profile with one or more joints.

It is also possible to equip the disposal device with a Betriebsflüssigkeitsbefüllvorrichtung comprising a tank with operating fluid and a working fluid supply line. Such operating fluid supply line, such as a hose, can be used by the user to refill the operating fluid within a mobile wet room or toilet.

Furthermore, it is possible to modify the above-mentioned embodiments so that at least part of the positioning operation is performed by drive motors including a control device for controlling the positioning operation. In this case, it is also possible to completely automate the entire positioning process by means of image processing measures. In this case, the user merely has to manually open the outlet opening of the vehicle.

The disposal device may also be modified to include a suction lance in addition to the drain line or instead of the drain line. This suction lance can be used to vacuum the vehicle tank or the toilet bowl and hand basin. In addition, the suction lance can be used to clean the environment around the exhaust port of the vehicle tank in case the sump has not been properly positioned.

The disposal device is preferably monitored by video surveillance to protect it against vandalism. It is also possible to use license plate monitoring or other types of statistical data collection to better understand which users are using which services, how often and at what times, so as to better tailor the disposal device to the user's needs. This statistical data analysis can be carried out both automatically and manually.

Such a statistical data acquisition for a disposal device can also be achieved, for example, by a ticket system in which a ticket is output for each vehicle, which in each case contains information such as an identification of the user, the vehicle owner, the date, the time, the marking and the like. On the basis of this data, it can be determined who was or should use the waste disposal system at which point in time, and thus also determines who has to bear the costs for which use.

In this connection it is envisaged that the costs for the disposal in this disposal device can be reimbursed in different ways. For example, it is possible for the user to pay for one or more chips before using the disposal device and to successively insert them into the disposal device in order to keep them in operation. Also, a previous or subsequent payment by cash and credit card or the like is possible.

For the intended nighttime operation of the disposal device further lighting options can be provided. It is preferred that all control panels and possibly all operating instructions are sufficiently illuminated.

Although not further described below, the invention further relates to a method for disposal, wherein for disposal a disposal device according to one of the aforementioned embodiments is used.

Thus, a disposal device is created on the whole, on the one hand effectively prevents the spread of odors and the emergence of splashes during disposal and on the other hand can be easily operated by a user. The disposal device according to the invention and its preferred embodiments thus allow use by a non-trained in the use driver of the vehicle in question. As a result, the provision of appropriate personnel for disposal is unnecessary.

Another aspect is a method for discharging wastewater from a collection tank of a vehicle, wherein the wastewater is gravity fed into a catch basin, a negative pressure from a vacuum source is connected to the catch basin and the waste water is sucked out of the catch basin by means of the negative pressure.

Another aspect is a method for discharging waste water from a collection tank of a vehicle in which the wastewater is passed by gravity into a catch basin, rinse water is introduced from a rinse water source with overpressure in the catch basin and the wastewater runs out of the catch basin together with the rinse water ,

The methods can be developed by detecting an area above the catch basin by means of an image capture device, reproducing it on an image display device, and positioning the catch basin below the outlet opening of the collection tank with the aid of the image display device.

The methods can be carried out in particular with the device described above and the further development forms of this device and be developed accordingly.

Figure 1A shows a schematic representation of a positioning device 2 with a arranged in the positioning device 2 catch basin 20 according to a first embodiment. The positioning device 2 comprises a handle 21. The handle 21 is pivotally mounted about the axis element 211 and can be folded for storage or transport.

During the positioning process, the operator attacks the handle 21. The positioning device 2 can then be moved over the castors 22 and 23 and positioned so. By means of a fixing device 221, which in the Fig. 1A is designed as a total stopper for the castors 221, the positioning device 2 can be fixed in the operating position.

The sump 20 has a basin opening 201 which is bounded by a seal 202. The opening cross section of the pelvic opening 201 is in the Fig. 1A smaller than the pool bottom surface of the catch basin 20. This creates a kind of freeboard when filling the fluid from the vehicle tank of a vehicle. The fluid thus impinges on the ground 203 at some speed and is thereby at least partially deflected away from the ground 203 again. The so deflected fluid then remains through the geometry of the catch basin 20 in the basin interior and is particularly distracted at the pool edge surface. This promotes efficient discharge of the fluid through a drain opening (not shown) from the sump 20.

Below the collecting basin 20, a pipe 24 is arranged as part of a discharge line, which has a connection 241. The fluid which passes through the feed opening, enters the tube 24 and can be removed by this. The connection 241 can serve to connect the pipe 24 directly to the sewage system or to a receiving tank or to connect the pipe 24 to a delivery pump.

FIG. 1B shows a side view of the positioning device 2 with a arranged in the positioning device 2 catch basin 20 according to the Figure 1A , The bottom 203 of the sump 20 is inclined downwardly relative to a horizontal plane and has a plurality of baffles (not shown) leading to the center of the sump are also inclined downwards relative to a horizontal plane, so that the bottom 203 is a kind of "guide channel" for the fluid in the direction of the discharge opening. The drainage opening is here in the lowest point of the soil - the "swamp" - arranged. The bake opening connects the sump 20 with the tube 24 connects.

Fig. 1C shows a front view of the positioning device 2 arranged in the positioning device 2 catch basin 20 according to the Figure 1A , The catch basin 20 has at its opposite end of the handle 21, an elbow 25, which is preferably made at an angle of about 30 °. The angle piece 25 is arranged at the lowest point of the inclined bottom 203 and welded there sealingly, so that the fluid can not escape during the disposal process. Due to the shape and position of the elbow 25, an advantageous deflection of the fluid can be achieved, so that the occurrence of splashes is further suppressed.

FIG. 2 shows a schematic side view of a modification of the positioning device 2 'with the catch basin 20. In this variant of the positioning device 2' it is equipped with a lever device 26. This lever device 26 serves to adjust the height of the collecting basin 20. For this purpose, there is an activation lever 261 on the handle 21 of the positioning device 2 '.

In this variant, the catch basin 20 is first brought by means of the positioning device as already described in the operating position and fixed in this. The operator can then move the activation lever 261 on the handle 21. As a result, the catch basin 20 is lifted by means of the lever arms 262 and thus brought closer under the outlet opening of the vehicle. It is preferred in this case that the activation lever 261 does not have to be held permanently, but can be fixed in one or more activation positions - for setting different heights. Upon completion of the disposal operation, the operator may release the activation lever 261 from the corresponding activation position and return to a deactivation position where the catch basin 20 is no longer being raised.

FIG. 3 shows a schematic representation of an advantageous orientation of a collecting basin 20 to the outlet opening 60 of a vehicle. The sump 20 is hereby aligned so that the outlet opening 60 is located almost centrally above two central guide surfaces 203A. Although the fluid thus experiences a relative drop height, it can be conducted into the area of the guide surfaces 203A and from there into the bottom of the bottom 203 after impact by means of the remaining guide surfaces 203B and 203C. Due to the resulting flow, the fluid from the sump can be efficiently guided further into the drain opening.

FIG. 4 shows a schematic representation of a disposal device 1 with a positioning device 2, in which a catch basin 20 is mounted according to the first embodiment, and a feed pump 3, which is housed in a housing.

The feed pump comprises a connection 341 for a second end of a drain line, which is formed by the tube 24 and a hose 34 which is connected via the port 241 with the tube 24. The feed pump 3 also has a connection 301 for a suction lance 30. By means of the lever, the operator can switch between the connection 341 for the discharge line and the connection 301 for the suction lance 30 back and forth. This allows the operator to decide whether to dispose of the vehicle tank contents using the drain basin 20 or using the suction lance 30. The feed pump 3 directs the discharged from the vehicle tank and pumped fluid either in a dedicated tank for receiving in the ground (not shown) or directly into the sewer.

FIG. 5A shows a schematic representation of a positioning device 100 with a arranged in the positioning device 4 catch basin 200 according to a second embodiment. FIG. 5B shows a side view of the positioning device 4 with the sump 200th

The peculiarity of this embodiment is that the handle 41 is disposed for displacement by the operator directly at a first end of a pipe 40 which functions as part of a drain pipe. In addition, a bracket 42 with castors 43 in the longitudinal direction of the tube 40 is slidably mounted on the tube 40. The holder 42 is in this case designed so that it can be fixed at a position in the longitudinal direction of the tube 40. Thus, the tube 40 forms in this embodiment together with the handle 41 and the castors 43, the positioning device on which the catch basin 200 is arranged.

The corresponding catch basin 200 is designed in this embodiment as a kind of round funnel, which is attached to a second end of the tube 40. The drain opening (not shown) of the collecting basin 200 in this case leads directly into the tube 40. At the second end of the tube 40 is additionally a port 401 for a hose 34. The tube 40 and the hose 34 together form the drain line of the catch basin 200th

For the disposal operation, the position of the castors 43 along the longitudinal direction of the tube 40 is determined. This determination is based on the height of the outlet opening of the vehicle to be disposed. If this outlet opening is higher, the castors 43 can be fixed at a position close to the handle 41. If the outlet opening is very low, the castors 43 may be fixed at a position near the sump 200. In both cases, however, care must be taken that the angle at which the catch basin 200 is placed below the outlet opening does not become too steep.

The catch basin 200 is hereby positioned by means of the positioning device 4 via the castors 43 under the outlet opening. The positioning device 4 is fixed in the operating position by being deposited on the ground with the side opposite the catch basin 200. For this purpose, a bearing surface (not shown) attached to the tube 40 can be provided. The led out of the vehicle tank fluid is then fed from the sump 200 via the drain opening in the pipe 40 and discharged from there by gravity or by means of a feed pump through the drain line.

FIG. 5C shows a modification of a catch basin 200 'according to the second embodiment with an increased buffer volume. The collecting basin in this case has a plurality of guide surfaces 2030 running obliquely downward in the longitudinal direction of the tube 80, which guide the fluid in the direction of the drainage opening. An embodiment with such a buffer volume is particularly advantageous in order to further reduce the occurrence of splashes.

FIG. 6 schematically shows the principle of a stationary disposal device 5 according to the second aspect of the invention. In the stationary disposal device 5, the catch basin, which is designed as a gutter 50, is not moved under the vehicle 6. Instead, the vehicle 6 overruns the gutter 50 and is parked so that the outlet opening of the vehicle 6 is positioned above the gutter 50. This positioning is done in the execution of Fig. 6 via a mirror device 51.

The FIGS. 7A and 7B schematically show the passing of the collecting channel 50 through the vehicle to be disposed of 6. The upper edge of the collecting channel 50 is slightly increased in this embodiment compared to the road surface. The disposal device therefore has a ramp 52 on which the vehicle 6 ascends during positioning. In order to avoid when driving over a destruction of the vehicle 6 and / or the gutter 50, a support device 53 is provided in this embodiment, which is arranged centrally in the embodiment shown within the gutter and a concave molded support surface for the tire 61 offers. The vehicle can thus drive over the gutter, without danger of sinking and thereby carry away damage. After passing over the support device 53, the tire 61 again sets on a ramp 52. The ramp 52 ensures that the vehicle 6 can leave the elevation safely and without damage again.

In this embodiment, the fluid from the vehicle tank is directed to the support device 53. Due to the semicircular design of the upper attachment surface of the support device 53, the fluid and possibly contained in it waste residues can be passed without the need for additional flushing in the gutter 50 in which a drain port 501 is located. The fluid passes through the drain opening into the tube 54, which is located within the bottom. The pipe 54 serves as a drain pipe in the sewer or in a specially designed receiving tank.

Figure 8A shows a schematic representation of a stationary disposal device according to another embodiment and FIG. 8B shows a side view of the stationary disposal device 5. The in the Fig. 8A Arrow shown here indicates the direction of travel of the vehicle 6 during positioning. In this embodiment, two collecting grooves 50 are provided, which are arranged side by side. As a result, vehicle tanks arranged on the left side as well as on the right side of the vehicle 6 can be emptied without the driver having to check beforehand from which side he must approach. In this embodiment, the support device 73 in the form of a first group and a second group of obliquely converging ribs 731, 732 executed. This rib structure is particularly advantageous for draining the fluid from the vehicle tank, since each rib 731, 732 can be used as a guide surface for the fluid in the center of the gutter 50.

In the execution of Fig. 8A the edge of the gutter 50 is increased in relation to the road surface. Therefore, the disposal device has a along the direction of travel in front of the gutter 50 arranged ramp 52, by means of which the vehicle without the risk of damage can handle the increase, so as to overrun the gutter 50. Similarly, the disposal device has a along the direction of travel behind the gutter 50 arranged ramp 52 through which the vehicle can leave the increase again.

FIG. 8B shows a split tube 74 as a drain line for both gutters 50. The tube 74 can pass the fluid through the port 741 either in a receiving tank or directly into the sewer. This can be done either by means of a feed pump or preferably by gravity. However, it is also possible for each the two side-by-side collecting gutters 50 to provide an independent drain line.

The embodiment shown here can also be used as an attachment for an existing shaft, for example a Gulli shaft. In this case, it is advantageous to replace the drain line by a folding mechanism, which is opened by the pressure exerted by the fluid pressure. Closing the folding mechanism outside the disposal operation is also advantageous in that the mechanism can serve as protection against rumors.

FIG. 9 shows a schematic representation of a stationary disposal device according to another embodiment. In this embodiment, the gutter 80 is designed as a shaft which is completely embedded in the ground. For this purpose, the collecting channel 80 has a mounting frame 81. The gutter 80 comprises a semicircular supporting device 83. At the edge of the mounting frame 81 rinsing nozzles 811 of a rinsing device (not shown) are arranged, which can be activated during the disposal operation, so as to ensure a quick discharge of the fluid. Also in this embodiment, the gutter 80 may be provided with a drain line which directs the fluid introduced into the well directly into the sewer or alternatively into a receiving tank provided therefor, and may be equipped with a feed pump. This design has the advantage of a small and compact solution that can be almost completely accommodated in the ground.

It is conceivable to equip each of the above-mentioned embodiments with a flushing device with flushing nozzles and to support the disposal process by the supply of flushing water. Each of the above-mentioned embodiments may be provided with corresponding markings for positioning the vehicle and / or the collecting basin. In particular, further possible combinations of the features discussed in connection with the specific embodiments are directly and unambiguously obvious to the person skilled in the art from the explanations of the general idea of the invention.

Referring first to the Figures 10A B comprises a disposal device according to the invention designed as a longitudinal channel basin interior 850. This channel is used flush with the surface in a corresponding shaft-like recess in a roadway and is supported with corresponding feet 801 on the bottom of this recess. It is to be understood that the channel is installed transversely to the direction of travel on the road, that extends as far as possible over the entire width of the roadway.

Figure 10A shows a closed position in which the two covers 820a, b horizontally closing the pelvic opening. In this position, the lids are supported by the vertical supports at the bottom of the basin interior and a vehicle can drive over the catch basin. The covers are used in this closed position on the one hand to allow the passage of the vehicle, on the other hand they prevent a person from accidentally entering the pelvic opening.

FIG. 10B shows an open position in which two covers 820a, b are pivoted to a vertical position and thereby release a pelvic opening. Visible on each of the lids are two vertical supports 821, 822a and 821, 822b. The vertical supports are hinged to the underside of the lid and thus do not hinder the access of waste water through the basin opening in the basin interior.

Figure 11A shows a side half of the catch basin according to the invention with a closed lid 820b. As can be seen, the vertical support 821 b extends obliquely from an end of the cover 820b pointing towards the center of the pelvic opening and rests with a substantially vertical orientation of the vertical support 821b on a slightly inclined surface of the pelvic floor. This position is assumed by a guide lever 823b in conjunction with the arranged on the inside lid longitudinal edge pivot bearing 824b of the vertical support by positive guidance. The lid 820b is further supported vertically by a support surface 825b in the region of the pivot axis 826b. The pivot axis and the Schwenkachslagerung the lid 820b about this pivot axis is thereby relieved of vertical forces and can be dimensioned such that it only serves the pivoting guide of the lid during the pivoting operation, but is not burdened by wheel loads of a vehicle driving over the lid.

FIG. 11B shows the lid 820b in the open position. As can be seen, the lid extends in this position substantially vertically upward and the vertical support is pivoted to the lower lid surface. Basically, it should be understood that here in the embodiment shown, the lid is pivoted about its pivot axis in a first direction and the vertical support pivoted about its pivot axis in a direction opposite thereto to effect the tight positioning of the vertical support on the lid and the basin opening in as possible Restrict small extent by the vertical support in its cross-sectional opening.

FIG. 12 shows a plan view of a disposal device according to the invention with positioning device. As can be seen, a vehicle 901 is retracted on a roadway 902 into the disposal device. Input of the disposal device is an induction loop 910 which reads out a transponder attached to the vehicle 901 and from this a vehicle identification code uniquely identifying the vehicle. In a control unit 920, this vehicle identification code is processed and a remote query of a central server is performed in which a positioning parameter is stored for this vehicle identification code. This positioning characteristic defines the distance between the front surface 901a of the vehicle 901 and its drain port of the sewage tank. This distance can be very different from vehicle to vehicle, depending on the installation position of the waste water tank and arrangement of the waste water pipe at the waste water tank.

A measurement and display unit 930 can be pivoted into the road by motor, so that the driver of the vehicle can easily read positioning information that is displayed on a monitor 931 of this unit. Furthermore, a laser distance measuring unit 932 is arranged on the measuring and display unit, which determines the distance of the measuring and display unit serving as a reference point to the vehicle front 901a of the vehicle 901. The signals of this laser range measuring unit are also transmitted to the control unit 920 and processed. Depending on the measured distance and the positioning characteristic, the control unit 920 generates an indication signal which gives driving instructions to the vehicle driver by means of an arrow in the direction of travel, arrow in the direction of travel or a green signal indicating correct positioning. The driver can easily follow these driving instructions and move the vehicle forward or backward to a correct position, in which the drain port of the sewage tank is positioned exactly above the pool opening of the catch basin 950.

The Fig. 13 schematically shows an operation of a disposal apparatus 1001 according to a fourth embodiment. The disposal device 1001 includes a positioning device 1010 and a stationary unit 1011. Within the stationary unit 1011 is a vacuum source 1110 in the form of a vacuum generating device with the tank for receiving greywater and the like 1111. The stationary unit further comprises a fresh water tank 1112 having a Hose 1122 for removing the fresh water. The vacuum source 1110 and the tank 1111 are connected via a drain pipe 1121 in the form of a hose to the catch basin 1101 on the positioning device 1010.

The positioning device 1010 of Fig. 13 is designed as a over several castors 1102 movable carriage. This car can be moved by means of a handle 1103 by the user 1003. The castors 1102 are rotatably mounted about a vertical axis. This allows the car through the castors in all directions be moved. The positioning device 1010 further comprises a display 1104 in the form of a screen, which is arranged above the handle 1103.

In the Fig. 13 For example, the positioning device 1010 is below a vehicle 1040 and is operated by a user 1030. In this case, the user 1030 can recognize on the display 1104 how the positioning device 1010 is to be arranged and what happens below the vehicle 1040 without bending over for this purpose. The positioning device 1010 is in the operating position, that is, has been arranged by the user 1030 so that the catch basin 1101 is located below the outlet 1014 for the vehicle tank 1041 of the vehicle 1040.

The FIG. 13A shows a schematic representation of the arrangement of the positioning device in this case an enlargement of the circular section of FIG. 1 , The catch basin 1101 is arranged at a very small distance from the vehicle floor 1042. This small distance is achieved by means of a lever mechanism 1106 which is fixed to the frame 1105 of the positioning device 1010. A camera 1107 with a lighting device 1108 is also attached to the frame 1105 of the positioning device 1010. The sump 1101 includes an outlet opening to which the drain line 1121 is attached.

For disposal, the catch basin 1101 is oriented such that the outlet opening 1410 of the vehicle tank 1041 is arranged more or less centrally in the catch basin 1101. This alignment is accomplished, as described above, by means of a display 1104 attached to the positioning device 1010. In this case, this display device 1104 displays the recorded images of at least one camera 1107. In the embodiment of Fig. 13 and Fig. 13A If this camera 1107 is arranged on the positioning device 10 and records the area above the catch basin 1101, in which - in the operating position - the outlet opening 1410 can be seen.

The user 1030 shifts the positioning device 1010 until the outlet port 1410 becomes recognizable in the recording area of the camera 1107. For this, the user 1030 preferably uses the first recording mode. Subsequently, the user 1030 performs a fine adjustment in the second recording mode. For this purpose, the user 1030, on the one hand, moves the positioning device 1010 such that the collecting basin 1101 is arranged more or less centrally of the outlet opening 1410. On the other hand, the user 1030 operates the lever mechanism 1106 to raise the sump so that the sump is located a short distance from the vehicle underside. Around the catch basin 1101 and the outlet opening 1410 in this case to better see, the illumination device 1108 is used, which illuminates the area above the catch basin 1101.

The greywater exiting the outlet port 1410 of the vehicle tank 1041 is discharged through a drain pipe 1121 into the tank for intake 1111. For this purpose, the vacuum generating device 1110 generates a negative pressure in the region of the collecting basin 1101. This negative pressure ensures that no or virtually no splashes can reach the area outside the collecting basin 1101 when discharging from the outlet opening 1410, and also prevents odor propagation around the collecting basin 1101 , In this way it can be ensured that no adverse effects on the environment arise.

Fig. 14 shows a disposal device 1002 according to a fifth embodiment. In this embodiment, the disposal device 1002 is completely portable and includes a tank for receiving a fluid 1211 and a flushing device 1021 having a flushing water tank 1213. The tank for accommodating 1211 and the flushing water tank are fixed to the frame 1205 of the positioning device 1020. For moving the positioning device, guide rollers 1202 and a handle 1203 are also attached to the frame 205. In addition, the frame 1205 includes a lever mechanism 1206 for raising and lowering the sump 1201. The sump 1201 is connected to the tank for receiving the fluid 1211 through a drain pipe 1221 in the form of a jointed pipe and to a vacuum generating device (not shown). Furthermore, the catch basin is connected via a Spülwasserzuleitung 1223 in the form of a hose to the flushing water tank. The Spülwasserzuleitung 1223 terminates in a ring line 1224, which is located at an upper edge of the basin catch basin.

The positioning of the catch basin 1201 in the second embodiment is analogous to the positioning of the catch basin in the first embodiment by means of the castors 1202 and the lever mechanism 1206. Here, the receptacle 1201 is recorded by means of at least one camera (not shown) and this recording is the user on a Display (not shown) is displayed. Unlike in the first embodiment, during the positioning, rinse water is conducted via the rinse water supply line 1223 and the ring line 1224 into the catch basin 1201, so that the catch basin 1201 is permanently rinsed. This supplied rinse water is continuously discharged via the drain line 1221 in the tank for receiving the fluid 1211.

If the collecting basin 1201 is positioned below an outlet opening 1410 of a vehicle 1040 and the outlet opening 1410 is opened, the collecting basin 1201 is permanently flushed with rinsing water during the disposal process. This prevents residues from the vehicle tank, such as dirt or feces, settle on the catch basin. After the disposal process is completed and the sump 1201 is brought out again by means of the positioning device 1020 under the vehicle 1040, thus no residues in the sump 1201 can be seen. This can also odor nuisance and impairment by residues are also prevented.

Fig. 15 11 shows a schematic representation of a positioning device 1010 for use in a disposal device 1001 for a vehicle 1040. The positioning device 1010 comprises a frame 1105, which can be moved by means of castors 1102. On the frame 1105 a catch basin 1101 is further arranged height adjustable via a lever mechanism 1106. A camera 1107 is disposed on the rack 1105 so as to record an area above the catch basin 1101. The frame 1105 further includes a handle 1103. A display 1104 is also disposed on the frame 1105 of the positioning device.

The catch basin 1101 is designed here as an approximately round funnel. At the upper edge of the bowl of the funnel a ring line 1124 is arranged, which is supplied by a Spülwasserzuleitung 1123 with rinse water from a corresponding flushing water tank (not shown). The catch basin 1101 is further connected via a drain opening to a first end of a drain pipe 1121, which serves for the discharge of gray water led into the catch basin 1101 and the like into the sewage system or a corresponding tank for receiving (not shown).

The positioning device 1010 further comprises a brake device 1050. This brake device comprises a lever 1501 and struts 1502. In a non-operating state, the struts 1502 of the brake device 1050 are located on the bottom surface. As a result, the frame 1105 is raised and the castors 1102 are brought out of contact with the ground surface. The positioning device 110 can not be moved in this case. In an operating condition, the frame 1105 is lowered and the castors 1102 are brought into contact with the ground surface. For this purpose, the lever 1501 is arranged below the handle 1103 so that a user 1030 can grip the handle 1103 and the lever 1501 simultaneously. For this purpose, the user 1030 must pull the lever 1501 upwards in the direction of the handle 1103. When the lever 1501 is moved upward, the struts 1502 are leveraged by the Ground lifted. As a result, the castors 1102 come into contact with the bottom surface and the positioning device 1010 can be moved.

Further modifications of the disposal device are conceivable. Thus, a disposal device according to the first embodiment may also include a flushing device and / or a vacuum source.
