Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de traitement d'excréments permettant d'éviter l'obstruction par des excréments du passage d'évacuation des excréments (l'évacuation des excréments étant facilitée). Les excréments évacués par un utilisateur (patient) (5) sont reçus dans un récipient (10) de réception d'excréments. L'intérieur du récipient (10) de réception d'excréments est aspiré au moyen d'une pompe d'aspiration P2 dans des passages (23, 47) d'évacuation et dans un réservoir (46) d'excréments. Une buse (15) d'injection de liquide de nettoyage est située dans le récipient (10) de réception d'excréments. Le liquide de nettoyage injecté de la buse (15) présente une largeur réduite dans la direction gauche/droite (normale par rapport à la surface du papier dans la fig.4) et s'étale sous forme sectorielle dans la direction arrière/avant (direction gauche/droite dans la fig.4). Les excréments dans le récipient (10) de réception d'excréments sont finement écrasés par le liquide de nettoyage injecté par la buse (15) et aspirés dans le réservoir (46) d'excréments avec le liquide de nettoyage. Les excréments peuvent être écrasés au moyen d'un autre dispositif d'écrasement, par exemple une vis rotative ou un vibrateur.
