Toilet bowls are generally flushed, and various considerations are made to prevent waste of water. For example, patent document 1 is mentioned.
JP-A-11-36406

  An object of the present invention is to provide a toilet cleaning method and a toilet device that can clean a toilet without using water at all and without consuming a cleaning liquid.

  That is, it is possible to eliminate the waste of water use in the toilet and to eliminate the use restriction of the toilet even in the case of water shortage or in an area where water is short. Furthermore, water resources can be conserved on a daily basis, and the costs associated with the production of the water resources and the cost of water use can be greatly reduced. Moreover, when constructing a building, the construction of the water supply facility for the toilet can be reduced, so that the construction cost can be greatly reduced.

  According to claim 1 of the present invention for solving the above-described problems, a non-aqueous washing liquid made of oil or the like having a specific gravity lighter than water and having low volatility is caused to flow into the toilet bowl while the toilet bowl is in use, so that the stool does not adhere to the toilet bowl. The non-aqueous cleaning liquid is stored in a non-aqueous cleaning liquid storage section provided below the toilet, and the non-aqueous cleaning liquid in the non-aqueous cleaning liquid storage section is circulated by supplying it to the toilet with a pump. It can be used repeatedly and has the function of a flush toilet without using any water for washing the toilet bowl.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention for solving the above problem, a liquid lower reservoir that communicates with a defecation hole of a toilet and extends downward, and a liquid inclined reservoir that extends upward from the liquid lower reservoir is formed. A liquid storage pipe and a discharge pipe extending downward from the liquid storage pipe, and a non-aqueous cleaning liquid from the level of the upper end of the toilet hole of the toilet to the level of the upper end inside the liquid inclined storage part The storage unit stores water in the liquid storage pipe, and the non-aqueous cleaning liquid storage unit stores non-aqueous cleaning liquid made of oil or the like having a lighter specific gravity and lower volatility than stool and water. A liquid supply pipe is installed so that the non-aqueous cleaning liquid is supplied to the toilet, and a pump is provided in the middle of the liquid supply pipe. The non-aqueous cleaning liquid does not always flow out and is collected and reused, and water is not used at all. It has the function of a flush toilet.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems, in the second aspect, when the toilet is a toilet, the stool is transferred from the lower end portion to the upper end portion in the liquid inclined storage portion. A stool transfer means is provided.

  A fourth aspect of the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems is that, in the second aspect, the non-aqueous cleaning liquid is mixed with a fragrance for preventing the odor of the solution and a colorant for camouflaging dirt. It is characterized by.

  A fifth aspect of the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems is characterized in that, in the second aspect, a sensor is provided for detecting a stool and operating the pump.

  The non-aqueous cleaning liquid in the non-aqueous cleaning liquid reservoir is pumped up by a pump and supplied to the toilet through the liquid supply pipe for cleaning. The non-aqueous cleaning solution used for this washing has a lower specific gravity than urine and is separated from the urine, so it accumulates in the non-aqueous cleaning solution reservoir above the stool reservoir and can be used any number of times, using no wash water The toilet can be used hygienically without it. Further, since the stool odor collected in the stool reservoir is blocked by the non-aqueous cleaning liquid in the non-aqueous cleaning liquid reservoir, the scent does not flow backward.

  A first embodiment of the toilet device of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. This embodiment shows a case where it is applied to the urinal 10. A liquid storage pipe 20 is connected to the lower end of the defecation hole 11 of the urinal 10, and the liquid storage pipe 20 is connected to the discharge pipe 30. The lower end portion of the defecation hole 11 and the inlet end portion of the liquid storage tube 20, and the outlet end portion of the liquid storage tube 20 and the inlet end portion of the discharge tube 30 are joined by flange portions formed respectively.

  The liquid storage pipe 20 includes at least a liquid lower storage portion 21 extending downward and a liquid inclined storage portion 22 extending upward from the liquid lower storage portion 21, and extends downward from the liquid inclined storage portion 22. A joint portion 23 is formed. Here, the level of the upper end 24 inside the liquid inclined reservoir 22 is formed lower than the level of the upper end 12 of the defecation hole 11, and the defecation from the level of the upper end 12 to the level of the upper end 24 is performed. The part of the range of the hole 11 and the liquid lower storage part 21 is a non-aqueous cleaning liquid storage part 41 for storing a non-aqueous cleaning liquid 40 described later. A portion in a range from the level of the upper end portion 24 to the level of the lower end portion 25 inside the liquid storage tube 20 is a stool storage portion 43 that stores the urine 42.

  A liquid supply pipe 50 that extends to the upper part of the urinal 10 and supplies the non-aqueous cleaning liquid 40 to the urinal 10 is disposed at a substantially middle part of the non-aqueous cleaning liquid storage part 41 of the liquid storage pipe 20. In the middle of the liquid supply pipe 50, a pump 51 that pumps up the non-aqueous cleaning liquid 40 stored in the non-aqueous cleaning liquid storage unit 41 is connected. A sensor 52 for detecting a person who urinates is disposed in the vicinity of the urinal 10. The sensor 52 detects a person, and the pump 51 continues to operate until the person leaves the urinal 10 after the person starts urination to prevent the urine from adhering to the urinal 10.

  Next, the operation will be described. First, when water is first put into the urinal 10, this water is stored in the stool storage unit 43. Next, the non-aqueous cleaning liquid 40 such as oil having a specific gravity lighter than water and lower volatility is put into the urinal 10 so as to reach the upper end portion 12 of the urinal 10. Now it is in use.

  When the urine is urinated in the urinal 10, the urine sinks in the stool storage part 43 because the specific gravity is heavier than the non-aqueous cleaning liquid 40 stored in the non-aqueous cleaning liquid storage part 41, and the water and excess urine stored in the stool storage part 43 are discharged. The stool is discharged to the tube 30 and the stool storage unit 43 stores the remaining urine. Here, the sensor 52 senses when the person who uses it approaches the urinal 10, and a signal for operating the pump 51 is output from the sensor 52 until it leaves the urinal 10 after starting to use (start urination). . When the pump 51 is activated, the non-aqueous cleaning liquid 40 in the non-aqueous cleaning liquid reservoir 41 is pumped up, and the non-aqueous cleaning liquid 40 flows from the discharge port of the liquid supply pipe 50 from the upper part to the lower part of the urinal 10 to wash the urinal 10. While preventing the urine from adhering to the urinal 10, the urine is washed away.

  The non-aqueous cleaning liquid 40 used for cleaning in this way is lighter than the urine and separated from the urine, so it accumulates in the non-aqueous cleaning liquid reservoir 41 above the stool reservoir 43 and can be used any number of times. The urinal 10 can be used hygienically without using any washing water. Moreover, since the scent of the urine 42 collected in the stool storage part 43 is blocked by the non-aqueous cleaning liquid 40 of the non-aqueous cleaning liquid storage part 41, the scent does not flow backward.

  For example, the liquid storage pipe 20 is formed so that 200 ml of the non-aqueous cleaning liquid 40 is stored in the non-aqueous cleaning liquid storage section 41 so that 500 ml of urine is stored in the stool storage section 43, and about 1 / of the non-aqueous cleaning liquid storage section 41 is formed. The suction port of the liquid supply pipe 50 was connected to the place of 2 or less. Then, about 100 ml of the non-aqueous cleaning liquid 40, which is half of the non-aqueous cleaning liquid storage unit 41, is caused to flow from the upper part of the urinal 10 to the lower part, and the remaining half of about 100 ml of the non-aqueous cleaning liquid 40 enters the non-aqueous cleaning liquid storage unit 41. When it was allowed to remain, very good results were obtained. In the above embodiment, the sensor 51 detects the person who needs to use the pump 51 to operate. However, a button is provided in place of the sensor 52, and the pump 51 operates for a certain time by pressing the button. You may make it do.

  A toilet apparatus according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The present embodiment shows a case where the present invention is applied to the toilet 60. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same or equivalent member as the said 1st Embodiment, and the detailed description is abbreviate | omitted. This embodiment is a case where the urinal 10 in the above-described embodiment (FIG. 1) is a urinal 60, and basically has the same configuration as that of the above-described embodiment.

  A discharge pipe 30 is connected to the lower end of the defecation hole 61 of the toilet bowl 60 via the liquid storage pipe 20 as in the above-described embodiment. The lower end portion of the defecation hole 61 and the inlet end portion of the liquid storage pipe 20, the outlet end portion of the liquid storage pipe 20, and the inlet end portion of the discharge pipe 30 are joined by flange portions formed respectively. However, in the above-described embodiment, only urine and dirt are accumulated in the liquid storage pipe 20, so that no problem occurs if it is periodically cleaned. However, in the case of the urinal 60, not only urine but also stool accumulates in the liquid storage pipe 20, and thus means for discharging this stool is required.

  First, substantially the same components as those in the above embodiment will be described. The liquid storage pipe 20 includes at least a liquid lower storage portion 21 extending downward and a liquid inclined storage portion 22 extending upward from the liquid lower storage portion 21, and extends downward from the liquid inclined storage portion 22. A joint portion 23 is formed. Here, the level of the upper end portion 24 inside the liquid inclined storage portion 22 is formed lower than the liquid storage portion level 62 of the defecation hole 61, and the defecation hole from the liquid storage portion level 62 to the level of the upper end portion 24 is formed. 11 and a portion in the range of the lower liquid storage portion 21 is a nonaqueous cleaning liquid storage portion 41 that stores the nonaqueous cleaning liquid 40. A portion in a range from the level of the upper end portion 24 to the level of the lower end portion 25 inside the liquid storage tube 20 is a stool storage portion 43 that stores large and small stools 44. Here, the difference from the above embodiment is that the stool stored in the lower liquid storage part 21 and the liquid inclined storage part 22 needs to be discharged to the discharge pipe 30, and therefore the liquid inclined storage part 22 is a gentle inclined part. The stool transfer means 70 which will be described later is disposed in the liquid inclined storage part 22.

  A liquid supply pipe 50 that extends to the upper part of the toilet 60 and supplies the nonaqueous cleaning liquid 40 to the toilet 60 is disposed at a substantially middle portion of the nonaqueous cleaning liquid storage section 41 of the liquid storage pipe 20. In the middle of the liquid supply pipe 50, a pump 51 that pumps up the non-aqueous cleaning liquid 40 stored in the non-aqueous cleaning liquid storage unit 41 is connected. In addition, a sensor 52 for detecting a person who uses the toilet is disposed in the vicinity of the toilet 60. The sensor 52 senses a person and the stool transfer means 70 is activated, and the pump 51 continues to operate until the person leaves the urinal 60 during the stool, preventing urine and stool from being attached to the urinal 60, Wash and discharge urine and stool.

  Next, the configuration of the stool transfer means 70 will be described. A spiral screw 71 is provided extending from the lower end 25 to the upper end 24 of the liquid inclined storage part 22, and this screw 71 is driven by a motor 72 provided outside the liquid storage pipe 20. A sealed bearing 73 is provided on the output shaft of the motor 72 and the liquid storage pipe 20.

  Next, the operation will be described. First, when water is first put in the toilet 60, this water is stored in the stool storage part 43. Next, the non-aqueous washing liquid 40 such as oil having a specific gravity lighter than water and low volatility is put in the toilet 60 so as to reach the liquid storage part level 62 of the toilet 60. Now it is in use.

  A sensor 52 senses when a person who adds a product approaches the toilet 60, and the pump 51 and the motor 72 for circulating the non-aqueous cleaning liquid 40 are activated. When a urine or stool is placed in the toilet bowl 60, the toilet bowl 60 is washed with the non-aqueous cleaning liquid 40 so as not to adhere to the toilet bowl 60 and discharged into the discharge hole 61. Since the specific gravity of the urine or stool is heavier than that of the non-aqueous cleaning liquid 40, the water in the stool reservoir 43 and the excess urine or stool are discharged to the discharge pipe 30. The stool that has fallen to the bottom of the liquid storage pipe 20 is transferred to the upper end 24 of the liquid inclined storage part 22 by the rotation of the screw 71 and dropped to the discharge pipe 30. In the stool storage part 43, the remaining urine or stool granules remain. Here, a signal for operating the pump 51 is output from the sensor 52 until the person leaves the toilet 60 after the person starts using (starts urination or stool). When the pump 51 is activated, the non-aqueous cleaning liquid 40 in the non-aqueous cleaning liquid reservoir 41 is pumped up, and the non-aqueous cleaning liquid 40 flows from the discharge port of the liquid supply pipe 50 from the upper part to the lower part of the toilet bowl 60. The urine and stool are discharged while washing the stool to prevent non-stick.

  Since the non-aqueous cleaning liquid 40 used for cleaning in this way is lighter than urine or stool and separated from urine or stool, the non-aqueous cleaning liquid 40 accumulates in the non-aqueous cleaning liquid storage unit 41 above the stool storage unit 43 any number of times. It can be used repeatedly, and the toilet 60 can be used hygienically without using any washing water. Further, since the scent of the small urine 44 collected in the stool reservoir 43 is blocked by the non-aqueous cleaning liquid 40 of the non-aqueous cleaning liquid storage unit 41, the odor does not flow backward. It is possible to prevent clogging of the liquid storage tube 20 due to stool by including fecal degrading enzyme in the aqueous solution to be added in advance and the aqueous solution to be added periodically and coating the inside of the liquid storage tube 20 with Teflon (registered trademark). it can. Naturally, in the case of the present embodiment, the toilet paper is put in the collection container without flowing into the toilet 60 as in the sanitary product. There is Brazil as a country that does not flush toilet paper in the toilet 60, and there is no problem if you get used to it in terms of lifestyle.

  For example, the liquid storage tube 20 is formed so that 3,000 ml of the non-aqueous cleaning liquid 40 is stored in the non-aqueous cleaning liquid storage section 41 so that 1,000 ml of urine or stool is stored in the stool storage section 43, thereby storing the non-aqueous cleaning liquid. The suction port of the liquid supply pipe 50 is connected to a portion of the portion 41 that is approximately ½ or less. Then, about 1,500 ml of the non-aqueous cleaning liquid 40, which is half of the non-aqueous cleaning liquid storage section 41, is allowed to flow from the upper part to the lower part of the toilet 60, and the other half of about 1,500 ml of the non-aqueous cleaning liquid 40 becomes non-aqueous cleaning liquid. When it was made to remain in the storage part 41, the very favorable result was obtained. In the above-described embodiment, the sensor 51 detects the person who adds work, and the pump 51 is operated. However, instead of the sensor 52, a button is provided, and the pump 51 and the motor 72 are activated by pressing the button. You may make it operate | move for a fixed time.

  Needless to say, the non-aqueous cleaning liquid 40 needs to be periodically replenished or replaced due to the cost and deterioration of the non-aqueous cleaning liquid 40, although it depends on the frequency of use of the urinal 10 or the urinal 60. However, the cost is very small. A washlet may be attached to clean the butt. In this case, however, a small amount of water is sufficient.

  The non-aqueous cleaning liquid 40 used in each of the above embodiments is mixed with a fragrance that prevents the odor of the solution and a colorant for camouflaging dirt. As the non-aqueous cleaning liquid 40, for example, “Genesis Motor Multigrade Engine Oil” manufactured by Shin Nippon Oil Co., Ltd. is preferable because it is volatile, odorless, hardly oxidatively deteriorated and low clay.

  Therefore, it is possible to eliminate wasteful use of water in the toilet, and it is possible to eliminate restrictions on the use of the toilet even in cases where water is insufficient or in areas where water is insufficient. Furthermore, water resources can be conserved on a daily basis, and the costs associated with the production of the water resources and the cost of water use can be greatly reduced. Or, when constructing a building, it is possible to reduce the construction of water supply facilities for toilets, so that it is possible to greatly reduce construction costs.
