SE468858B - TOILET AND HYGIENE PLANT COMPREHENSIVE COLLECTION CONTAINERS FOR URINE AND FAULTS - Google Patents

Abstract

A toilet- and hygiene equipment comprises individual collection bowls (2, 3) for urine and feces, respectively. These collection bowls are disposed under a common seat (4) so that a person after having moved himself may use these collection bowls one after the other. In order to permit saving of urine the collection bowl (2) for urine has an outlet conduit (5) of its own which is separate from the outlet conduit from the collection bowl for feces and is connectable to e.g. a transport vessel. It is preferred that the collection bowl (2) for urine is in communication with two outlet conduits (6, 8) of which at least one may be shut-off by means of a shut-off device (9), so that urine may reach a storing vessel, in one position of the shut-off device, whereas urine residuals and a small amount of flushing water may reach a drain or the like, in the other position of the shut-off device. The shut-off device may be controlled by means of special transmitters (4, 11) that may be activated by the person who is using the toilet.

Description

2 via a water trap 7 can lead to a separate, not shown collection container of any kind for collecting a urine / flushing water mixture, whereby one can collect and utilize the urine / flushing water mixture.

In the embodiment shown, urine collection cabinets, which in this case in turn are connected in part with a first outlet channel 2, i.e. in a separate outlet channel 5, 6, which via a water trap 7 can either be led to a municipal drain or led away to t .ex. a garden which leads the laying, and on the other hand a second outlet channel 8, to a collection tank (not shown), which may suitably be in the form of a transport vessel, which can be picked up by a consumer of urine to serve, for example, as fertilizer.

In this embodiment, a shut-off device 9 is arranged between the channels 6 and 8 and has the purpose of enabling the flow of urine resp. the stream of urine along with flushing water can be led into various outlet ducts. This shut-off device, which can of course be of any suitable type, is illustrated in the drawing in the form of a flap, which can be moved from an operative, solid position to an inactive, dashed position. According to the invention, this changeover takes place suitably on impulse from two different sensor rollers. suitably placed on the upper part of the toilet seat, gan 10 resp. The first-mentioned sensor means is then close to its leading edge while the latter is placed on the floor in front of the toilet seat and at a distance, soul corresponds to the distance between a man urinating and the collecting bowl 2, the seat ring 4 is preferably tiltably arranged, t. ex. in which the urine should end up. by resting on downwardly directed rounded supports 12, it is held that when, however, one inserts between the front and rear parts of the seat ring, normally by a spring-loaded member in such a position, the sensor member 10 is kept unaffected. stays on the seat ring and thereby stays on its front part, the seat ring will tilt slightly in the counterclockwise direction in relation to the supports 12. The sensor means 10 are actuated, which may consist of a microswitch or the like, and the sensor means thereby gives an impulse to a relay, a solenoid valve 468 858 or the like, which moves the shut-off member to its inactive, dashed position, in which it allows free communication between the collecting bowl 2 and the outlet channel 8.

The urine will therefore be led directly to the above-mentioned transport vessel. The situation will be the same if you stand on the floor, so that you activate the sensor organ ll.

When one moves backwards on the seat ring and the center of gravity is consequently shifted to the other side of the supports 12, the seat ring 4 will tilt up in a clockwise direction, whereby the shut-off device 9 returns to its operative, channel 8 closing position. In this position, therefore, the shut-off device prevents communication between the collecting bowl 2 and the outlet channel 8.

It will be appreciated that through the described arrangement it is possible in a collection tank or the like. collect almost pure urine, which by not coming into contact with the bacterial flora of the water and / or the air stays almost completely odorless for a long time.

By allowing a limited amount of water (such as approx. 2 dl per flushing occasion) from the toilet's water tank 13 to reach the collection bowl 2 via a line 14, it is obtained that this very small amount of flushing water remains in recitals 2 and the channel 5 remaining urine can reach the duct 6 and thus the above-mentioned drain or outlet. In this way, the bowl 2 is kept constantly clean, while the amount of rinsing water is minimal.

Since the said movement backwards on the seat ring has now been placed directly above the bowl 3, the faeces will reach this and by means of a substantially conventional rinsing device these and flushing water will be removed via a pipe 16, provided with a water trap 17.

The flushing water pipe has in Fig. 2 been denoted by 18. In order to suck out unpleasant odors resp. introduce fresh air, fans 19, 20 resp. channels 21, 22 be provided.

The invention achieves the following: 1) The required amount of flushing water for urine can always be kept low; -JÄ CC) CS '4 (__' ~ "l CO 2) Pure, desired: unmixed urine can be disposed of separately, if so 3) A urine / rinse water mixture can be disposed of separately, if desired, especially when special collection and removal facilities for this 4) If the urine / flushing water pipe 6, as in the example shown, is equipped with a water trap 7, this pipe 6 can be connected to an ordinary drainage network or the like without risk of disturbing odors, pending special collection and removal facilities for urine. / the rinsing water mixture has been arranged.

The plant now described can be varied in its details in a variety of different ways within the framework of the following patent claims.

Then you can e.g. consider arranging the collecting vessels 2 and 3 one after the other sideways instead of in depth, whereby of course the seat and seat ring must be adapted accordingly.

It is of course also possible to arrange a conveyor which carries the faeces to a special collection point and one can then, as in the case of the urine, arrange a line which leads to this collection point and another line which carries flushing water and residues residues of faeces to, for example, a conventional sewer. As in the case of the urine collection container 2, which has a removable grid 39 and possibly also a fixed grid 40, such can also be arranged in the case of the collection container for faeces. The main purpose of these grilles is to catch objects that are accidentally dropped in the toilet. The shut-off device 9, as well as a possible one for the faeces, can of course be designed in any suitable way and the encoders as well as their location can also be varied in a number of ways.
