Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to outdoor toilets, in particular waterless urinals.

TECHNICAL LEVEL

There are a number of patented designs for outdoor toilets worldwide, but most are not well suited for low temperatures (below 0 ° C).

Known international patent application no. WO2011113164, published 2011. September 22 This application provides a mobile outdoor toilet construction for single use. This construction consists of a waste container and a seat attached to said container using a special holder. The bottom of the seat is fitted with a disposable film which, after use, is easily packaged and, by means of the said holder, is rotated to the waste container. However, the operating costs of such a construction are high. You also need to empty the container frequently.

U.S. Pat. US2009077729, published July 2009 March 26 This patent deals with the construction of a waterless (biological) outdoor toilet. The essence of this design is that it does not use water. The entire structure is heated and the human droppings are mixed with sawdust and rotated using a screw mechanism. This construction is very complex and also has an unpleasant odor. In addition, electricity is used to heat the entire system and rotate the screw mechanism.

U.S. Pat. US6487731, published Jun. December 3 This patent deals with a toilet that effectively eliminates the unpleasant odor of urine by using oil. Because the density of the oil is lower than that of the urine or faeces, the oil layer remains on top. However, in this case, the odor of oil remains, which is often undesirable. In addition, the oil used is not cheap and is usually in high demand.

Chinese utility model no. CN201057991, Published 2008 May 14 It reveals a waterless and odorless toilet consisting of a housing (seat) connected to a housing holder. The said housing contains a cavity with an air compressor. The faeces reservoir is connected to the odor tube. The system described in this utility model is cleaned with compressed air in combination with a cleaning agent and breathed with a freshener through said odor tube. However, this system is complex enough from a structural point of view and uses electricity to compress and release air, as well as to launch a freshener from the odor tube into the stool tank.

The closest prior art is the American patent US2010275363, published in 2010. November 4, This patent also describes a waterless toilet / urinal in which the air serves as a flushing / stool function. The air compressor is connected to a 12 V battery. Such a toilet is sufficiently autonomous and can be used in parks, camps, cars and the like. However, this design does not eliminate the unpleasant odor and freezes at low temperatures. It also uses a power source.

The main problem with outdoor toilets or urinals is the unpleasant odor. Freezing at low temperatures also contributes to freezing problems. And various air compressors complicate the presented structures with their complexity and power sources.

THE SUBSTANCE OF THE INVENTION

The purpose of the present invention is to provide an anhydrous, self-heating (non-freezing) and odor-free urinal design for humans (men and women). The design of this urinal is simple and completely mechanical.

The essential features of the present invention (as compared to the closest analogue) are as follows.

An essential feature of the present invention is that such a urinal not only does not freeze as it no longer uses water, but also does not have an unpleasant odor and does not use any chemicals to eliminate this unpleasant odor; this is achieved by the design of the urinal of the present invention, which is equipped with a special opening / closing mechanism for passing / lowering the warm fluid.

Another distinguishing feature of the present invention is that it does not use any power source, which allows the use of such a urinal indefinitely in hot summer and cold winter.

The technical result of the present invention is achieved by introducing into the urinal structure an opening / closing mechanism consisting of: side brackets, a central bracket, a flap, a spring mechanism and a protective element; wherein, when the warm fluid enters the flush plate, said flush plate, which is actuated by a spring mechanism, is instantly thawed and, due to the weight of the fluid, descends and passes said fluid down the drain. When the liquid has entered the drain, the spring mechanism returns said flush plate to its original (closed) position and separates the unpleasant odors from the drain from the air in the room.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING FIGURES

FIG. 1 shows a construction of a urinal of the present invention in a closed position when the urinal is not in use.

FIG. 2 illustrates an open urine structure of the present invention where urine can easily drain into the drain.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

A very common problem in modern urinals is winter frostbite. This is especially true for urinals in gardens or unheated rooms. The second problem is the unpleasant odor that feels when urine is not properly drained into the sewer. The construction of the present invention effectively solves these two problems, is simple and does not require electricity.

FIG. 1 shows a construction (1) of a urinal of the present invention in a closed position when the urinal is not in use. It consists of the following main components: the upper part (2), the urine drainage part (3) and the drainage pipe (4).

The function of the said upper part (2) can be performed by the toilet seat. Alternatively, a body of any shape having a hole through which (a) urine passes, further directed towards the drainage portion (3) (b), may be used instead of the seat.

The function of said sewerage pipe (4) is performed by a sewer pipe or a system thereof which directs urine from the drainage portion (3) towards the sewerage tank (4).

The flushing portion (3) consists of a housing (5) and an opening / closing system (6). This opening / closing system (6) is the subject of the present invention. Said opening / closing system (6) comprises: side brackets (7), center bracket (8), lowering plate (9), spring mechanism (10) and protective element (11).

The said side brackets (7) and the center bracket (8) must be approximately the same thickness and fixed to the walls of the housing (5) at the same level. The side brackets (7) and the central bracket (8) may also be of different thicknesses, but in the closed position of the system (6) the lower surfaces of these brackets (7, 8) must be one plane so that the upper surface of said lowering plate (9) in close contact with the lower surfaces of the brackets (7, 8) to prevent the unpleasant odor from the sewerage pipeline (4).

To ensure lowering and lifting of said plate (9), said plate (9) is attached to a spring mechanism (10) which in its free state presses the upper surface of the lowering plate (9) against the lower surfaces of the holders (7, 8). closes the passage between the drainage portion (3) and the drainage pipe (4) and prevents unpleasant odor from entering the drainage pipe (4) while the urinal is not in use (Fig. 1).

Said spring mechanism (10), which performs the function of a valve, is integrated into the central bracket (8). The spring mechanism (10) lowers the plate (9) when urine or other liquid enters it (Fig. 2) and lifts the plate (9) when the urine has already run into the sewer (4). The spring mechanism (10) must be sufficiently sensitive to ensure that even a small amount of urine is drained downward towards the drainage pipe (4) (c).

To protect the spring mechanism from the effects of moisture and / or urine, it is covered by a protective element (11). All elements of the system (6) are made of frost-resistant and stainless materials, eg stainless steel spring and other parts made of plastic (or similar).

FIG. 2 shows the structure of the urinal in the open (lower) position. When urine enters (b) the urethra (3), it collects (falls) on the upper surface of the flush plate (9) and pushes this flush (9) down. As the flushing plate (9) is pushed down, a gap is formed between the upper surface of said plate (9) and the lower surfaces of the holders (7, 8), through which the urine drains into the drainage pipe (4). As soon as the urine enters the drain, the flushing plate (9) is pressed against said brackets (7, 8) by means of a spring mechanism (10) and an increased airflow (d) from the drain pipe (4).

As the total external temperature drops below the freezing point of the water, due to accidental moisture build-up between the plate (9) and the holders (7, 8), said plate (9) may freeze slightly to said holders (7, 8). However, the temperature of the urine is sufficiently high so that small freeze-ups are instantly removed as the urine begins to fall on the flush plate (9).

Made and tested, this urinal does not emit an unpleasant odor, works well in winter and summer, and can replace all currently used urinals that have the above disadvantages.

In order to illustrate and describe the present invention, descriptions of preferred embodiments are set forth above. It is not a complete or limiting invention that seeks to determine the exact form or embodiment. The above description should be viewed more as an illustration rather than a limitation. Obviously, many modifications and variations may be apparent to those skilled in the art.
