Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of environmental protection facilities, and in particular to an intelligent environmental protection toilet. Background Art

[0002] With the development of society, people's requirements for environmental protection are getting higher and higher, covering all aspects of life. For example, daily excreta in life also need to be treated.

[0003] At present, most of them directly discharge urine and feces into the urban sewage system through the toilet, which seriously pollutes the environment. A small part uses toilets that package and treat urine and feces, but the packaged feces cannot be perfectly treated. Using plastic packaging bags increases secondary white pollution. Moreover, the conventional microbial technology fermentation treatment of the collected feces requires a relatively large space, has a long treatment cycle, and there are also problems such as the source of the mixed fermentation products, the transportation of the feces before and after treatment, etc., which are not suitable for daily family promotion.

[0004] In addition, if the feces cannot be recycled, the source of organic fertilizer will be wasted in vain.

[0005] Based on this, how to treat daily excreta to achieve environmental protection is a technical problem that those skilled in the art need to solve at present. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Aiming at the problems in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an intelligent environmental protection toilet.

[0033] The drying part includes a shell 3 and a picking mechanism, a drying mechanism 4 and an unloading mechanism arranged in the shell 3. The shell 3 is fixedly connected to the toilet 1. The picking mechanism is used to obtain the excrement discharged into the toilet 1 on a daily basis. The drying mechanism 4 is used to dry the excrement in the picking mechanism to remove moisture. Specifically, the drying mechanism 4 can be heated by an electric heating wire, which is arranged in the shell 3 to heat the entire space to dry the excrement. The unloading mechanism is used to unload the dried excrement from the picking mechanism;

[0034] A collecting part, used to receive and store the feces discharged from the picking mechanism, and the collecting part can be a container or a bag to achieve the storage function;

[0035] And a control system for obtaining a signal of whether someone is going to the toilet and controlling the drying section to perform picking, drying and unloading actions in sequence, that is, when no one is detected to be going to the toilet, the control system controls the drying section to be in a non-working state, and when someone is detected to be going to the toilet, the control system controls the drying section to work, thereby realizing automatic control.

[0036] When the intelligent environmentally friendly toilet provided by the present invention is used, a drying part, a collecting part and a control system are arranged on the ordinary toilet 1, and the picking mechanism of the drying part receives excrement, the drying mechanism 4 dries the excrement in the picking mechanism, and the unloading mechanism unloads the dried excrement, and finally the unloaded dried excrement is collected and packaged by the collecting part, thereby realizing the automatic processing of excrement in daily life, avoiding direct discharge into the urban sewage system to cause environmental pollution, and the dried excrement is packaged by the collecting part and converted into fixed form for convenient transportation, thereby solving the problem of excrement transportation, and the packaging belt can be recycled, and at the same time, the waste of organic fertilizer is avoided by the packaging, collection and utilization of the excrement;

[0037] In addition, the control system obtains signals whether someone is available and controls the drying section to perform picking, drying and unloading actions in sequence, thus realizing automatic control, which is in line with the future development direction of electrical intelligence and reduces the difficulty of control.

[0038] In the above embodiment, the picking mechanism includes a tray 5 for storing excrement and a first driving mechanism. The toilet 1 is provided with an opening 20, which is used to drive the tray 5 to slide out of the opening 20 to receive the excrement when someone is using the toilet, so that the excrement falls directly into the tray 5. After detecting that the person has left, the tray 5 is reset.

[0039] Specifically, the first driving mechanism includes a guide rail 7, a pair of driving wheels 8 and a driving wheel respectively arranged at both ends of the tray 5 and sliding in the guide rail 7, and a first driving motor 9. The guide rail 7 is provided with a long groove for the driving wheel 8 and the driven wheel 19 to roll. The pair of driving wheels 8 are coaxially connected and the two driving wheels 8 rotate synchronously. The pair of driven wheels 19 are also coaxially connected. The first driving motor 9 is used to drive the driving wheel 8 to rotate. Preferably, the first driving motor 9 drives the driving wheel 8 through a reducer to reduce the rotation speed, that is, the length direction of the guide rail 7 points to the opening 20, so that the tray 5 can enter and exit the opening 20;

[0040] In another embodiment, the first driving mechanism includes a screw rod and a sliding rod parallel to the screw rod, and the screw rod and the sliding rod both point to the opening 20. The screw rod and the sliding rod are respectively connected to the tray 5 through a threaded sleeve and a sliding sleeve, so that the screw rod is driven to rotate by the first driving motor 9 to drive the tray 5 in and out of the opening 20.

[0041] In addition, the drying mechanism 4 is electromagnetic heating, electric heating wire heating or hot air heating. In the present embodiment, it is electromagnetic heating, more specifically, it is an induction cooker. The corresponding tray 5 is made of stainless steel. The induction cooker is arranged in the shell 3. When the tray 5 is located in the shell 3, the induction cooker is located below the tray 5 and contacts with the induction cooker to achieve heating and drying. When the tray 5 is made of stainless steel, the excrement after drying is not easy to stick to the tray 5.

[0042] In the above embodiment, the unloading mechanism includes a scraper 17 located above the tray 5 and a second driving mechanism that drives the scraper 17 to move toward the tray 5 to cooperate with the sliding of the tray 5 to push the excrement in the tray 5 to fall from the excrement leakage opening 6 set on the tray 5, that is, the scraper 17 is driven downward by the second driving mechanism until it conflicts with the tray 5, and then the tray 5 is controlled to extend out of the opening 20, so that the scraper 17 and the tray 5 move relative to each other, so that the scraper 17 scrapes off the dried excrement in the tray 5 and leaks the excrement out of the tray 5 from the excrement leakage opening 6 on the tray 5. Specifically, the excrement leakage opening 6 is set at the end of the tray 5 away from the opening 20, that is, when it is sensed that someone is urinating, the tray 5 is extended to achieve relative movement with the scraper 17, so that the scraper 17 drives the dry excrement to be discharged from the excrement leakage opening 6 at the rear end of the tray 5. More specifically, the end of the tray 5 away from the opening 20 is not provided with a side panel to form the excrement leakage opening 6.

[0043] More specifically, the drying section is arranged below the upper water tank 14 of the toilet 1 to avoid occupying additional space and fully utilize the space.

[0044] In the above embodiment, a preferred implementation is that the second driving mechanism includes a rotating shaft 18 connected to the scraper 17 and a second driving motor 22, the rotating shaft 18 is horizontally arranged and the two ends are respectively hinged to the shell 3, the second driving motor 22 is used to drive the rotating shaft 18 to rotate, so as to drive the scraper 17 to rotate to realize the scraper 17 moving away from / approaching the tray 5, that is, the rotating shaft of the second driving motor 22 is directly connected to the rotating shaft 18 to realize the driving rotation, or is connected to the rotating shaft 18 through a transmission mechanism. Specifically, the second driving motor 22 is fixed on the outside of the shell 3, and when the tray 5 retracts into the shell 3, the scraper 17 is controlled to rise to avoid scraping the excrement just discharged, and when the tray 5 extends out of the opening 20, the scraper 17 moves toward the tray 5 to scrape off the dried excrement.

[0045] For better technical effect, after the scraper 17 contacts the bottom surface of the tray 5, the scraper 17 is in an inclined state, that is, the scraper 17 and the tray 5 form an angle less than 90°, so as to facilitate scraping off the excrement.

[0046] In one of the embodiments, a deodorizing unit is further included, and the deodorizing unit includes an exhaust fan 13. The inlet of the exhaust fan 13 is connected to the shell 3 pipe to extract the odor of excrement in the shell 3 to prevent it from spreading to pollute the indoor air. Specifically, the outlet of the exhaust fan 13 is connected to the sewer to directly discharge the odor into the sewer. It should be noted that the outlet of the exhaust fan 13 can also be connected to the outside to discharge it directly into the outside.

[0047] In the above embodiment, the control system includes:

[0048] A controller 10, for receiving and processing signals and issuing control instructions;

[0049] Infrared sensor 15, the infrared sensor 15 is electrically connected to the first driving mechanism through the controller 10, and is used to obtain whether someone is urinating and transmit a signal to the controller 10, so as to control the pickup mechanism to work through the controller 10. Specifically, the infrared sensor is arranged above the water tank 14 of the toilet 1 to sense whether someone is urinating, and it should be noted that it is not limited to the infrared sensor 15, but can also be a pressure sensor, and the pressure sensor is arranged on the seat edge of the toilet 1 to sense pressure to achieve detection;

[0050] A detection device, the detection device is electrically connected to the drying mechanism 4 through the controller 10, and is used to detect whether the tray 5 is reset and transmit a signal to the controller 10, so as to control the drying mechanism 4 to dry the excrement through the controller 10. Specifically, the detection device is a travel switch 11, and an end of the tray 5 close to the travel switch 11 is provided with a push rod 12 that cooperates with the travel switch 11, and the push rod 12 touches the travel switch 11 to turn on the power of the drying mechanism 4 to dry the excrement;

[0051] The temperature sensor 16 is electrically connected to the drying mechanism 4 through the controller 10, and is used to detect the temperature in the tray 5 and transmit the signal to the controller 10 for processing, so as to control the drying mechanism 4 to stop drying through the controller 10. By transmitting the detected temperature signal to the controller 10, the controller 10 compares the received temperature signal with the preset temperature. When the temperature is greater than or equal to the preset temperature, the controller 10 cuts off the power supply of the drying mechanism 4 to stop heating, which means that the drying is completed.

[0052] In this embodiment, the collecting part includes a packing bag 21 and a discharge pipe, the upper end of the discharge pipe is connected to the discharge port 2 set at the bottom of the shell 3, and the lower end is connected to the packing bag 21, so that the excrement unloaded by the unloading mechanism enters the packing bag 21 through the discharge port 2 and the discharge pipe, that is, the excrement dropped through the feces leakage port 6 of the support plate is gathered through the discharge port 2 set at the bottom of the shell 3 and conveyed to the packing belt. Preferably, the discharge port 2 gradually shrinks from top to bottom so as to gather the dropped excrement and avoid residue in the shell 3.
