Definitions
- the method presented here relates to a urine separation toilet that can be constructed without a partition between the urine and fecal waste, so that the entire bowl can be cleaned during the rinsing process and so the toilet paper in the urine waste area and yellow deposits can be fed to the fecal waste area, and still one includes anhydrous urine leakage.
- the disadvantage of the prior art is therefore that the front urinary outlet area cannot be flushed, and so the toilet paper, which comes to rest especially when women urinate in the front urinary outlet, cannot be transported to the faecal outlet by flushing. It must therefore be transported manually, usually with the help of the toilet brush, to the rear fecal area.
- Another disadvantage of the conventional urine separation toilets is that the urine outlet is open, which makes it very useful, especially when not used for a long time. There are strong ammoniacal odors, which are due to the activity of the enzyme urease from bacteria that settle in the urine outlet.
- a French patent application suggests that the urine outlet be equipped with a closable urine closure, this urine outlet opening being opened by a pressure sensor coupled to the toilet seat when taking a seat.
- the urine outlet is not water-free, since when the urine outlet is flushed, rinsing water always remains in the front bowl and runs through the urine outlet when used again.
- the partition of this toilet is also provided with a small opening through which excess flushing water can drain from the front urine outlet area into the fecal outlet area. The dilution of urine in this procedure is small, but sufficient so that urine stone can fail.
- the mechanics of a closable urine outlet coupled to a pressure sensor of the toilet seat are thus known to the person skilled in the art.
- the device particularly preferably comprises
- a closable urine outlet with a subsequent drain pipe and / or siphon the siphon can additionally be equipped with an odor-retaining light liquid, and / or
- a toilet bowl with a V-shaped cross section in order to be able to collect the urine in a concentrated manner before the urine outlet, the cross section towards the point of the urine outlet preferably having bulges on the sides in order to guide the urine more effectively to the urine outlet.
- this control method comprises the following steps:
- a preferred embodiment comprises sensors, particularly preferably pressure sensors, which can preferably trigger direct and / or indirect reactions as soon as a person sits on the toilet.
- the reactions triggered in (a) and / or (c) comprise opening the urine outlet.
- the reactions triggered in (a) and / or (b) comprise a closure or a blocking of the flushing button of the device for flushing the toilet bowl, or other suitable measures to prevent the toilet bowl from being flushed.
- the sensors mentioned in (a) can preferably trigger direct and / or indirect reactions as soon as a person rises from the toilet.
- the reactions triggered in (d) and / or (f) include a closure of the urine outlet.
- the reactions triggered in (d) and / or (e) comprise opening or releasing the device for flushing the toilet bowl, or other suitable measures to reverse the reaction under (c) ,
- the pressure sensors mentioned under (a) can preferably also be simple, mechanical translation constructions. In the following, the control of the toilet is explained using pressure sensors and simple mechanical translation constructions. However, these translation constructions can also be of any other nature or in combinations with them, such as, for example, B., gas or liquid hydraulic, electrical, electronic, etc.
- the urine outlet In the idle state, the urine outlet is tightly closed and the flush button is activated, which means that it can be actuated and, when actuated, flushes the toilet.
- the toilet seat is pushed down a short distance by stress (by sitting down), and this distance leads to a lifting construction (lifting) of the urine seal (opening).
- one or more devices for generating a counter pressure to the loading pressure preferably from metal springs, push the toilet seat and the urine outlet closure back into the rest position.
- the device for back pressure should seal the urine outlet watertight in the idle state, and preferably only after a certain loading force, particularly preferably somewhat less than the weight of a seated child, should the translation structure be set in motion.
- the activation of the same mechanical translation construction simultaneously leads to a decoupling of the toilet flush mechanism; preferably also here via a simple mechanical translation construction.
- actuating the toilet flush disables the control of the urine outlet, preferably by mechanical decoupling, until the flushing process has ended. This prevents rinsing water from entering the urine outlet when the urine outlet mechanism is loaded after the flush button is pressed.
- actuating the toilet flush disables the control of the urine outlet, preferably by mechanical decoupling, until the flushing process has ended. This prevents rinsing water from entering the urine outlet when the urine outlet mechanism is loaded after the flush button is pressed.
- suitable translation constructions that are known to the person skilled in the art.
- the behavior of the male defecation clientele at the instigation of female device users has slowly changed. A certain percentage of users have started to fold up the toilet seat before standing up to urine.
- the method presented here makes use of the male behavioral concession. Folding up the toilet seat opens the urine outlet while blocking the flushing device. This ensures that at least part of the urine from male urinators gets into the urine outlet. Folding down the toilet seat then closes the urine outlet and releases the flushing device.
- the fecal outlet can be designed in all possible embodiments, such as vacuum suction, etc.
- one or more flushing buttons can be provided, which can provide different amounts of water for the flushing process.
- the sensors mentioned under (2) can also be used to detect and / or differentiate the substances introduced into the toilet, such as urine, faeces, toilet paper, etc.
- the reactions triggered by the sensors can regulate the water consumption of the toilet.
- the toilet bowls of the named embodiments are equipped with a dirt and / or water-repellent surface (e.g. nano surfaces), preferably according to the lotus leaf principle.
- a dirt and / or water-repellent surface e.g. nano surfaces
- Figure 1 shows a cross section A - B through the toilet in a preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention.
- the mechanism is preferably located, which opens the urine outlet when under load and decouples the toilet flush mechanism, and restores the state of rest when unloaded.
- (1) shows a cross section through the faecal siphon.
- (6) shows the urine outlet with a siphon.
- Sections 1 - 4 show the cross sections of FIG. 2.
- Figure 2 shows the sections in a preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention.
- Section 1 shows a section through the upper region of the device.
- the cutting edge A - B shows the section of FIG. 1.
- (2) symbolizes the urine outlet and (3) the fecal outlet.
- Section 2 shows beginning bulges (3) and (4) of the side walls of the device, which serve to direct the urine to the urine outlet.
- Section 3 shows the bulges becoming stronger.
- Section (4) shows the bulge just before the urine outlet, which is lower.
- the overflow edge to the fecal waste is deeper than the urine waste.
- Figure 3 shows a possible mechanical control in a preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention.
- Black circles symbolize axes, white circles symbolize joints.
- (E) symbolizes the raised toilet lid, which covers the flush button (D).
- Pressing the flush button (D) causes the locking pin (18) to snap into the locking opening (16a) of the locking panel (16) via the rod (17).
- the blocking diaphragm (13) moves forward via the rod (23) which is mounted on the rod (21) via a joint (22).
- the urine outlet is via a locking pin (11), which cannot snap into the locking opening (12), and via a locking screen (16) (via (10), (8) and (15)), which is fixed by the locked locking pin (18) is blocked twice.
- the rinsing button (D) only goes back when the rinsing process has ended. This prevents the urine plug (B) from opening even if the toilet seat (A) is loaded during the flushing.
- the toilet seat (A) is rotatably mounted on the axle (1) with the fixed bearing (25).
- a cable (24) is firmly connected to the bearing (25) and rod (8). Folding up the toilet seat (A) causes the bearing (24) to turn to the right about the axis (1). This pulls the cable (24) up the rod (8) and the urine plug rises and the flush is blocked. After folding down the toilet seat (A), the spring (26) pushes the mechanism back into the idle state.
- Detail A shows details of the two locking mechanisms.
- the locking pins (11) and (18) can snap into the locking openings (16a) and (12).
- the shutters (13) and (16) are immobile.
- the locking panels (16) and (13) can be moved upwards again along their groove (12a) in which the axes (10) and (17) are inserted.
