Abstract

The invention relates to a modification in the way future toilets will be built. According to said modification, a small pond is formed at the water outlet to the toilet bowl with the purpose of collecting water from leaks, which is then sent through a small tube for flushing the toilet, thereby producing a visible and audible signal indicating the existence of said leaks.

Description

DETECTORDE FUGAS ENLOS EXCUSADOS FUTUROSDETECTOR OF LEAKS IN THE FUTURE EXCUSED
OBJETODE LAINVENCIÓN Esta invención se refiere a una mejora en la construcción de los excusados futuros, para que las fugas de agua internas sé canalizen por medio de un tubo a ser descargadas en la taza del excusado produciendo así una señal visible y audible de la existencia de ellas.OBJECT OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to an improvement in the construction of future toilets, so that internal water leaks are channeled through a tube to be discharged into the toilet bowl thus producing a visible and audible signal of the existence of they.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN (figura Nθ.1) Los excusados actuales están construidos de tal forma que al operarse el sistema de descarga del agua se produzca en la taza del mismo, (1) un efecto sifón para que en esa forma se descarguen al drenaje (2) completamente todos los productos de desecho.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION (figure Nθ.1) The current toilets are constructed in such a way that when the water discharge system is operated, a siphon effect is produced in the cup, so that in this way they are discharged to the drain (2) completely all waste products.
Para lograr lo anterior, alrededor del 80% del agua de descarga llega a la taza por conducto de un túnel superior (3) y lava la taza del excusado, el 20% del agua restante se transporta por medio de un túnel interior (4) a la base del excusado con objeto de provocar el efecto sifón.To achieve the above, about 80% of the discharge water reaches the cup through an upper tunnel (3) and washes the toilet bowl, 20% of the remaining water is transported through an internal tunnel (4) at the base of the toilet in order to cause the siphon effect.
Actualmente la mayoría de los excusados que existen en la República Mexicana son del tipo de tanque bajo, (8) seguidos por los de fluxómetro y en una pequeña proporción de tanque alto.Currently, most of the toilets that exist in the Mexican Republic are of the low tank type, (8) followed by the fluxometer and in a small proportion of high tank.
En los del tipo de tanque alto y bajo existen dos causas principales que propician las fugas de agua:In the high and low tank type there are two main causes that lead to water leaks:
1) La primera se debe a deficiencias del cierre de la válvula de salida del agua1) The first is due to deficiencies in the closing of the water outlet valve
(5) del tanque a la taza, por deformación de ella o suciedad en las superficies de contacto lo cual, produce pequeñas luces en el cierre que debe ser hermético, ocasionando fugas (6) pequeñas pero continuas de agua. 2) La segunda es ocasionada por una defectuosa operación de la válvula de entrada de agua al tanque la cual no cierra totalmente debido a problemas del flotador, de la goma de cierre o del mecanismo de operación de la misma, lo anterior produce un aumento en el almacenamiento de agua en el tanque fuera de lo normal por lo que se produce una fuga de agua por el tubo de derrame (7).(5) from the tank to the cup, due to deformation of it or dirt on the contact surfaces which produces small lights in the closure that must be airtight, causing small but continuous leaks (6) of water. 2) The second is caused by a faulty operation of the water inlet valve to the tank which does not close completely due to problems of the float, the closing rubber or the mechanism of operation of the same, the above produces an increase in the storage of water in the tank out of the ordinary so that water leaks through the spill tube (7).
En los de tipo fluxómetro la fuga se produce por un cierre defectuoso de la válvula principal, todas las pequeñas fugas anteriormente descritas, son transportadas al drenaje por medio del túnel interior (4) productor del sifón, sin que sea posible detectarlas en forma fácil y son las responsables de un enorme desperdicio mundial del agua potable.In the fluxometer type, the leak is caused by a defective closure of the main valve, all the small leaks described above are transported to the drain through the internal tunnel (4) producing the siphon, without it being possible to detect them easily and easily. They are responsible for a huge worldwide waste of drinking water.
En la actualidad resulta muy urgente poner un límite a estas fugas de agua dada la escasez y el precio de esta; en los próximos años el agua será cada vez mas solicitada y su uso provocará enormes problemas económicos y sociales.At present it is very urgent to put a limit to these water leaks given the scarcity and price of it; In the coming years, water will be increasingly requested and its use will cause enormous economic and social problems.
En la presente solicitud se menciona un procedimiento para mejorar la construcción de los excusados futuros a fin de que detecten todas las fugas de agua avisándole al propietario de una manera visual y auditiva de la existencia de ellas, para que este las arregle a la mayor brevedad posible ahorrándose en Jo personal grandes cantidades de dinero por concepto de consumo de agua, y al país enormes inversiones necesarias para el suministro oportuno de ella.The present application mentions a procedure to improve the construction of future toilets so that they detect all water leaks by notifying the owner in a visual and auditory way of the existence of them, so that they fix them as soon as possible It is possible to save large amounts of money for personal water consumption, and to the country enormous investments necessary for the timely supply of water.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN (figura No.2)DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Figure No.2)
La invención para mejorar el funcionamiento de los excusados futuros consiste en modificar la construcción del túnel de la taza del excusado, precisamente donde se recibe el agua del tanque de depósito, para formar en el un pequeño estanque de almacenamiento (9) de 50 mm de diámetro por 10 mm. de profundidad, que reciba el agua de las fugas. Este pequeño tanque se deberá drenar por medio de un pequeño tubo de metal anticorrosivo (10) (Cobre, Aluminio, Acero inoxidable) de unos 4 mm. de diámetro interior hada la taza del excusado.The invention to improve the operation of future toilets consists in modifying the construction of the tunnel of the toilet bowl, precisely where the water is received from the reservoir tank, to form a small storage tank (9) 50 mm in diameter by 10 mm. deep, to receive water from leaks. This small tank must be drained by means of a small anticorrosive metal tube (10) (Copper, Aluminum, Stainless Steel) of about 4 mm. inside diameter fairy toilet bowl.
El tubo del drenaje terminará en la taza del excusado a una altura de unosThe drain tube will end in the toilet bowl at a height of about
40 mm. del espejo del agua, de tal manera que el goteo o chorro del agua proveniente de las fugas, golpe dicho espejo produdendo una señal visible y audible, de la existencia de dichas fugas.40 mm from the mirror of the water, in such a way that the dripping or jet of the water coming from the leaks, hit said mirror producing a visible and audible signal, of the existence of said leaks.
