Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mobile flush toilet which is suitable for use when a person with a disability such as a physically handicapped person or an elderly person goes out.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, with the development of welfare services for the elderly, many elderly people have come to live in welfare facilities for the elderly, or persons with disabilities have come to live in welfare facilities. In welfare facilities such as welfare facilities for the aged, a walking area and a meeting room are provided so that the aged and the physically handicapped can safely and comfortably live a healthy life.

[0003] However, since old people have a relatively large number of occasions for urination, it is not uncommon for an old man to have a bowel movement when taking a walk at a playground or spending time in a meeting room. In such a case, it is necessary to go to the nearest toilet, but an old man who has a slow walking speed often has incontinence before reaching the toilet. For this reason, it takes additional time and labor for a nurse or a helper to change clothes and dispose of excreted waste, which is not preferable for the operation of the facility. In addition, even people with physical disabilities may ask for urge to take a walk when they are taking a walk in the playground or when they are spending time in the meeting room. In such a case, it is necessary to go to the nearest toilet. However, a physically handicapped person with a slow walking speed becomes incontinent before reaching the toilet, causing the same problems as in the case of the elderly.

Further, the person who excreted before arriving at the toilet becomes very embarrassed and unfavorable in terms of mental health, and therefore, the elderly and the physically handicapped are likely to be extremely reluctant to go out.

Further, not only in such a case, but also in a hospital having a playground for rehabilitation, such as a patient suffering from a traffic accident, a similar problem occurs.

[0006] Therefore, the present inventor first installed a flushing Western-style toilet on a cart that can be pushed and used a mobile simple flush toilet having a flush water tank arranged above and behind the toilet, and It was proposed that a nurse or a caregiver with a fast walking speed could carry a toilet bowl to an old man who complained of defecation so that he could use the toilet (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-36326, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-40582). ..

[0007]

However, in this conventional mobile simple flush toilet, after excretion, the excreted filth is carried to the treatment site with the urine remaining in the toilet bowl, where water is flushed from the flush water tank. Since the toilet bowl is washed by using the urine, a bad odor is emitted to the surroundings until it is transported to the treatment plant, which causes an unpleasant feeling to the surrounding people and a bad user feeling.

[0008] Further, there are problems that the stool sticks to the toilet bowl before it is transported to the processing site, that it takes a long time to clean it at the processing site, or that it cannot be cleaned sufficiently.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and the toilet can be washed immediately after the toilet is used, and it is not necessary to pay attention to the people around the toilet, and the toilet can be reached comfortably. The purpose is to provide a mobile simple flush toilet that has been made possible.

[0010]

In order to achieve this object, a mobile simple flush toilet according to the present invention has a movable toilet equipped with a flush toilet and a flush water tank disposed above and behind the toilet. A simple flush toilet is characterized in that a filth tank for storing sewage from the toilet is arranged below the toilet.

The vehicle according to the present invention may be any vehicle that can travel, and may be configured to automatically travel by radio control or electrically driven. Further, in order to easily avoid a collision with another object or person, it may be configured to be able to be pushed manually. Further, the number of wheels of the carriage may be two or more, but it is preferable to use four wheels in order to ensure stability during movement and use and to avoid complication of the configuration.

The wash water tank of the present invention may be opaque, but at least a part thereof is preferably transparent or translucent so that the amount of wash water remaining therein can be easily inspected.

In the present invention, in order to enable the user to use the toilet in a comfortable posture, easily reach the toilet seat, and easily get up from the toilet seat during use, the user of the user who sits on the toilet bowl on the carriage is required. One or both of a backrest portion located behind and an armrest portion for receiving the elbow of the user can be provided. In this case, when the toilet bowl is provided with a lid, it is desirable that the lid be made removable or slidable so that it can be slid backward and used.

Further, in the present invention, one or both of the backrest portion and the armrest portion may be provided in the toilet bowl instead of providing the backrest portion and the armrest portion in the cart as described above. .. Even in this case, when the toilet bowl is provided with a lid, it is desirable that the lid be made removable or slidable so that it can be slid backward and used.

When one or both of the backrest portion and the armrest portion are provided, the number of parts is reduced to improve the economical efficiency and productivity, and at the same time, the backrest portion is reduced. One or both of the inside and the armrest part may be hollow to serve also as a wash water tank, or a part corresponding to the back rest part and a part corresponding to the armrest part may be formed continuously in the wash water tank. preferable.

By the way, in this flush toilet, the user is warm when warm water is used in the flush water tank in winter, and conversely, when water is used in summer, cool.
The feeling of use can be arbitrarily changed depending on the season.

Further, in the present invention, the mobile simple flush toilet may be provided with a canopy or the like for avoiding direct sunlight, and by providing the canopy, not only direct sunlight but also rain in the rainy season is avoided. You can do it.

[0018]

In the present invention, the toilet bowl is washed immediately by flushing the toilet bowl with the cleaning water after the toilet, and the used cleaning water is collected in the waste tank. Therefore, since the toilet bowl can be washed immediately after the toilet is used, the bad smell is not scattered around, it is not necessary to pay attention to the surrounding people, and the toilet can be comfortably reached.

By the way, in this flush toilet, the user becomes warm when warm water is used in the flush water tank in winter, and cooler when water is used in summer.
It can be used comfortably regardless of the season.

In the present invention, the mobile simple flush toilet may be provided with a canopy or the like for avoiding direct sunlight, and by providing the canopy, not only direct sunlight but also rain in the rainy season is avoided. You can do it.
