Definitions
- the present invention relates to a vacuum evacuation system with temporary retention sewage tank for railroad cars, of the type comprising a wastewater tank to which at least one toilet bowl is connected and having a conduit outlet with a discharge valve.
- Vacuum evacuation systems for railways involve toilets whose exits are traditionally connected to a wastewater collection tank with a high capacity. This deposit must be emptied periodically, for example when the train reaches one of the end of the route, and this naturally complicates and makes maintenance of the installation more expensive.
- Some recent systems include an intermediate tank, four or five liters in volume, associated with each toilet, so that a dose of wastewater passes quickly and with a reduced energy expenditure from the cup to the intermediate tank, and at another time this tank intermediate is discharged into a larger tank, which is emptied periodically.
- This design improves system efficiency, thanks to a lower consumption is required to empty the contents of the cup in the intermediate tank, but it does not eliminate the aforementioned drawbacks associated with the maintenance, volume and weight of the system.
- the objective of the present invention is to solve the aforementioned drawbacks, developing a vacuum evacuation system that does not require maintenance and occupies a reduced space.
- the vacuum evacuation system is characterized by the fact that said tank is placed under the floor of the railroad car and by the fact that said exit duct is open internally towards the track , the discharge valve being connected to a control module.
- the wastewater tank can be emptied automatically when an uninhabited area crosses the train, thus eliminating the need for maintenance operations related to emptying the tank.
- the size and weight of the deposit can be reduced.
- the reservoir is substantially cylindrical and is placed vertically under the floor of the car, the outlet conduit being connected at its bottom.
- the emptying of a tank with these characteristics can be done by gravity.
- the reservoir has an associated level detector; in this way the emptying can be activated both by after a certain number of operating cycles, such as when a certain level of wastewater is reached, thus avoiding excessive tank filling.
- the tank advantageously has a volume of between five and twenty liters; In a preferred embodiment, it has a volume of approximately ten liters.
- the system consists essentially of a toilet bowl 1, a wastewater tank 2 to which the outlet of the bowl 1 is connected through a cut-off valve 3 and a conduit 4, a pneumatic assembly 5 that includes solenoid valves to command the different organs of the system and an ejector to make the vacuum in the tank 2, and a control module 6.
- the tank 2 is mounted below the floor P of the car and has an outlet duct 7 with a discharge valve 8, governed by the control module 6 as will be explained later.
- the outlet duct 7 is open internally, so that the wastewater discharged from the reservoir 2 falls into the path.
- a level 9 detector is also associated with the tank, whose signal is supplied to the control module 6.
- the tank 2 can have a capacity of about ten liters, although this data is not limiting; In any case, the volume of the tank 2 must be adequate to accommodate at least some wastewater discharge units of the cup 1.
- the pneumatic assembly 5 and the control module 6 have connections (generally not shown) with the different pneumatic and electrical organs of the system.
- the ejector (not shown) of the pneumatic assembly 5 is connected through a conduit 10 to the reservoir 2, in order to cause a depression therein in a synchronized manner with the opening of the shut-off valve 3 and with the discharge of water in the cup 1, all with the objective that a waste water unit passes from the cup 1 to the tank 2.
- the discharge valve 8 of the tank is controlled by one of the solenoid valves of the pneumatic assembly 5, which in turn is governed by the control module as will be described below.
- the contents of the deposit are emptied into the path when conditions are favorable, that is, outside inhabited nuclei.
- the control module 6 governs the discharge of the tank by opening the discharge valve 8 when, having completed a predetermined number of cycles of discharge of the cup, or having reached a certain level in the tank (indicated by the level detector 9), the train runs at a speed greater than a predetermined threshold value, for example 40 km / h. This guarantees that the train is in an uninhabited area, and also, thanks to the speed of the train, it makes the Unloading is done along a relatively long stretch of road, minimizing its impact.
- the tank of the system of the invention can have a relatively small volume and take up little space, and at the same time does not require periodic intervention for emptying.
- the emptying of the tank can be simply caused by gravity or by simultaneously inducing a partial pressure in the tank itself through a suitable connection (not shown in the figures) with an element of the pneumatic assembly.
- the operating parameters of the unloading for example the number of cycles from which the unloading is carried out or the aforementioned threshold speed, will depend on the characteristics of the system and the area in which the train runs, and, preferably, they will be programmable.
