Description

Movable toilet {Movable toilet}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable toilet, and more particularly, to a portable toilet that can be installed in an area where power can not be supplied from the outside.

In general, a portable toilet installed in the outdoors is provided with a storage tank for storing dirt. Normally, a septic tank is directly connected to a lower portion of the toilet to allow dirt discharged from the toilet to be stored in the storage tank.

As the toilet and the dirt storage tank are directly connected to each other, the odor of the dust storage tank leaks into the portable toilet through the toilet to pollute the indoor air frequently.

In order to prevent the indoor air from being contaminated through such a toilet, means for immediately discharging the waste to the dust storage tank installed far away from the portable toilet through the discharge port are not applied to the portable toilet. However, when the dust reservoir is installed far away, the installation area is widened and the installation cost is increased.

On the other hand, when the dust storage tank is installed in the portable toilet, a ventilation facility for discharging the odor generated from the dirt to the outside must be provided, and electricity for driving it must be supplied. Therefore, the portable toilet including the dust reservoir is required to be installed at the place where the electricity is supplied, so that the installation site is limited.

Therefore, a portable toilet that can solve such a problem is needed.

The emergency generator (92) is installed outside the body (120) and has a oil reservoir (not shown) to generate electricity using oil. When the electric energy stored in the battery 91 is lower than the set reference value, the emergency generator 92 generates electric energy by electric power generation. Accordingly, the emergency generator (92) can compensate for the disadvantages of the renewable energy which is restricted by the external environment. Preferably, the power supply unit 90 supplies the stored electric energy of the battery 91 first, and when the stored electric energy of the battery 91 is stored lower than the set reference value, the emergency generator 92 is driven to supply the electric energy .

Hereinafter, the driving of the portable toilet 200 according to the present invention will be described.

First, the portable toilet 200 generates electric energy by using the renewable energy unit 10, and stores the generated electric energy in the battery 91. The electric energy stored in the battery 91 can be supplied to each of the components and can be driven. At this time, when the electric energy stored in the battery 91 is lower than the set reference value, the emergency generator 92 can be driven to generate electric energy. Here, the electric energy generated by the emergency generator 92 can be directly supplied to the respective components, or stored in the battery 91, and then supplied to the respective components in the battery 91.

The movable toilet 200 is controlled so that the temperature of the inside of the body 120 is kept constant and the plurality of the ventilation means provided in the second air curtain 42 and the dirt storage unit 130 are always driven, Thereby preventing a phenomenon in which the air containing the air is introduced into the inside of the body 120. The movable toilet 200 alerts the user through the warning light 80 when the dirt stored in the dirt storing unit 130 exceeds the predetermined height and the air discharged from the dirt storing unit 130 is purified by the air cleaning unit 70 Thereby preventing the occurrence of a bad odor in the surrounding environment.

When the user opens the door 121 and enters the portable toilet 200, the portable toilet 200 senses the opening / closing state of the door 121 and senses the opened state of the door 121 to drive the first air curtain 41 . That is, the first air curtain 41 is driven when the door 121 is opened, and is not driven when it is closed. Accordingly, the first air curtain 41 can maintain the internal temperature of the body 120 and at the same time, blow air into the body of the user, thereby eliminating the prejudice that the user can disinfect the portable toilet 200 . Also, even if the user exits the door 121 after leaving the toilet, the portable toilet 200 can wash the odor, which may be left on the user's clothes, through the air by driving the first air curtain 41.

That is, the portable toilet 200 can be installed in an area where power can not be supplied from the outside by generating electric power in a hybrid manner using renewable energy and emergency power. Also, the portable toilet 200 can be controlled to be driven only when necessary through the sensing of the sensors, thereby minimizing power consumption.

In addition, although the portable toilet 200 is shown and described as one private toilet in the present invention, the present invention is not limited thereto and one personal toilet may be continuously connected and installed as a large-sized personal toilet.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is clearly understood that the same is by way of illustration and example only and is not to be taken by way of limitation in the embodiment in which said invention is directed. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and detail may be made therein without departing from the scope of the appended claims.
