Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of toilets, and in particular to an integrated toilet with a squat toilet and a sitting toilet for use on trains. Background Art

[0002] Railway trains are vehicles that travel on railway tracks, usually consisting of multiple carriages, and are one of the most important means of transportation for modern humans. Since a single train trip may take a long time, train carriages are usually equipped with toilets for passengers to defecate.

[0003] The related art discloses a modular toilet for a train, wherein a toilet is provided at both ends of each carriage, the toilet comprising a floor and a washbasin provided on the floor, a squat toilet is installed on the floor of one of the toilets, and a sit toilet is installed on the floor of the other toilet.

[0004] Although sit-down and squat toilets provide more options for passengers, two different toilets will take up more space in the carriage, resulting in a lower passenger load factor of the train, so there is an obvious shortcoming. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to increase the passenger capacity of trains, the present application provides an integrated toilet with squat toilet and sitting toilet for trains.

[0006] The present application provides a train toilet with integrated squatting and sitting toilets, which adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A toilet with integrated squatting and sitting functions for trains comprises a floor, a sitting toilet and a squatting toilet arranged on the floor, wherein a partition for separation is arranged on the floor at a position relative to the sitting toilet and the squatting toilet.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the toilet and squat toilet are set on the same floor, so as to be integrated into one bathroom, which not only saves the manufacturing materials of the bathroom, but also saves the space occupied by the bathroom, so as to free up more space for carrying passengers, thereby improving the passenger capacity of the train.

[0009] Optionally, a wash basin is provided on the floor, and a storage cabinet with one side open is provided above the wash basin, and a makeup mirror is hingedly connected to the open side of the storage cabinet.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the washbasin is used for passengers to wash after excretion, the locker can be used to place consumables commonly used in the bathroom, and the makeup mirror is used by passengers to put on makeup. The setting of the washbasin and makeup mirror greatly improves the versatility of the bathroom.

[0011] Optionally, a light strip electrically connected to a control system is circumferentially arranged at the edge of the makeup mirror.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the light strip plays a role of lighting, thereby improving the brightness in the toilet, so that passengers can observe their own appearance and makeup more clearly through the makeup mirror.

[0013] Optionally, a lock column is rotatably connected to the bottom of the storage cabinet, a lock hook is provided on the lock column, and an ear plate is provided on the side wall of the makeup mirror opposite to the inner cavity of the storage cabinet, and a lock hole is opened on the ear plate for the lock hook to hook.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the train staff rotates the lock column, so that the lock column can drive the lock hook to rotate, and the lock hook can be moved out of or into the lock port, thereby locking and unlocking the makeup mirror.

[0015] Optionally, the partition includes two internally hollow mounting chambers, and openings are provided on opposite sides of the two mounting chambers, and telescopic door panels are respectively slidably arranged in the two mounting chambers, and a piston cavity is also vertically opened on the mounting chamber, and the piston cavity is located on opposite sides of the two telescopic door panels, and a mounting port is opened on the mounting chamber for connecting its inner cavity with the piston cavity, and a first connecting rod is hinged in the mounting port, an arc tongue is provided at one end of the first connecting rod, and a second connecting rod is hinged at the other end of the first connecting rod, and the second connecting rod is hinged to a piston block that slides in the piston cavity, and the piston block is tightly attached to the side wall of the piston cavity, and two locking plates are provided on the side of the telescopic door panel corresponding to the corresponding mounting port, the two locking plates are distributed up and down, and both lock plates are provided with a socket for inserting the arc tongue, and the telescopic door panel is also provided with a makeshift groove for inserting the arc tongue at a position relative to the two lock plates, and a driving component for driving the piston block to rise is also provided in the floor.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, under the action of the driving assembly, the piston block rises, the second connecting rod pushes the first connecting rod to rotate, and the first connecting rod drives the arc tongue to rotate, so that the arc tongue can move in or out of the two sockets. When the piston block is at the lowest point, the arc tongue is only inserted into the socket at the higher point. When the first connecting rod remains horizontal, the arc tongue is exactly located between the two lock plates. At this time, the passenger can manually pull the two telescopic door panels away from each other or relatively close to each other, and the arc tongue can be plugged into the clearance groove on the telescopic door panels. When the arc tongue is inserted into the lower socket, the two telescopic door panels are also in an immovable state. Through the setting of the above partition, passengers do not need to go outside the bathroom, but can choose to squat or sit at will through the partition.

[0017] Optionally, the driving assembly includes a support plate located under the floor, a transfer air chamber which is hollow inside and communicated with the bottom ends of the two piston cavities is provided between the support plate and the floor, a plurality of compressed air parts are provided on the support plate at positions opposite to both sides of the partition, the compressed air parts include an air pipe vertically arranged on the support plate, a compressed air column vertically sliding in the air pipe, the top of the compressed air column is hemispherically arranged, a compression spring is supported between the bottom end of the compressed air column and the support plate, a hose is connected between the air pipe relative to the position below the compressed air column and the transfer air chamber, and a hole is provided on the floor relative to each air pipe for the top end of the compressed air column to emerge.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when the toilet is unmanned, the arc-shaped tongue is plugged into the socket on the upper lock plate, and the two telescopic door panels are in a locked state. When a passenger enters the toilet on the side opposite to the partition, the passenger's foot steps on part of the compressed air column on the floor, and the compressed air column moves downward a small amount. The compressed air column presses the air in the trachea into the piston cavity through the transfer air chamber, thereby pushing the piston block to move upward, and the arc-shaped tongue rotates to the range between the two lock plates. At this time, the passenger can pull the two telescopic door panels away from each other, so that the passenger can choose between sitting and squatting. When the passenger is in the process of using the toilet, a passenger enters the toilet on the other side opposite to the partition, and the piston block moves further upward under the action of air pressure. At this time, the arc-shaped tongue further rotates to the socket of the lower lock plate, and the two telescopic door panels are locked again, thereby restricting the passenger who enters the toilet later from choosing between squatting and sitting through the partition. After the passenger who enters the toilet first finishes using the toilet and walks out of the toilet, the passenger who enters the toilet later can choose, thereby reducing the possibility of being affected by others when the passenger excretes.

[0019] Optionally, a top support ring is further provided on the side wall of the piston cavity, the top support ring is located above the piston block, and a return spring is supported between the top support ring and the piston block.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the piston block moves upward, the piston block cooperates with the top support ring to compress the return compression spring. When the passenger walks out of the bathroom, the deformation force of the return compression spring can assist the piston block to achieve reset.

[0021] Optionally, the two telescopic door panels are provided with handles near opposite sides.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the handle makes it convenient for workers to manually pull the two telescopic door panels closer to each other or away from each other.

[0023] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. The toilet and squat toilet are installed on the same floor, so as to be integrated into one toilet, which can not only save the materials for making toilets, but also save the space occupied by toilets, so as to free up more space for passengers and improve the passenger capacity of trains;

[0025] 2. Two movable retractable door panels are set up, so that passengers can choose to squat or sit inside the toilet without going outside, further improving the humanization of toilet use;

[0026] 3. By setting the driving component, when either the sitting toilet or the squat toilet is in use, other passengers entering the bathroom can automatically lock the two telescopic door panels, restricting the passengers who enter later from pulling open the two telescopic door panels. Only after the passengers who enter earlier leave the bathroom can the passengers who enter later re-select the squat toilet or the sitting toilet, thereby reducing the possibility of passengers being affected by others when defecating.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The following is combined with Figure 1-5 This application is described in further detail.

[0034] The embodiment of the present application discloses a toilet with integrated squat toilet and sitting toilet for use in trains.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 The integrated toilet for squatting and sitting toilets on trains comprises a horizontally laid floor 1, on which a sitting toilet 2 and a squatting toilet 3 are installed, and a partition for separation is arranged at a position opposite to the sitting toilet 2 and the squatting toilet 3 on the floor 1, and sliding doors (not shown in the figure) are respectively provided at positions opposite to the sitting toilet 2 and the squatting toilet 3 on the floor 1.

[0036] Compared with two separately arranged toilets, the toilet 2 and squat toilet 3 in the present application are integrated on one floor 1, which saves the space occupied by the toilet, frees up more space for carrying passengers, and greatly improves the passenger capacity of the train.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 An arc plate 28 is arranged on the wall of the toilet relative to the toilet 2. The arrangement of the arc plate 28 enhances the structural strength of the toilet to meet the requirements of use on trains.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 A wash basin 4 is arranged on the floor 1, and a storage cabinet 5 with one side open is arranged above the wash basin 4. The storage cabinet 5 is installed on the side wall of the bathroom, and a makeup mirror 6 is hinged on the open side of the storage cabinet 5 through a hinge.

[0039] The makeup mirror 6 is used to close the open toilet of the storage cabinet 5. Considering that the space in the bathroom is relatively limited, if the makeup mirror 6 is too large, its rotation will be restricted. Therefore, the makeup mirror 6 is divided into two parts to minimize the degree of rotation restriction when the makeup mirror 6 is opened.

[0040] The wash basin 4 is used for passengers to wash after defecation, and the makeup mirror 6 is used for passengers to observe their makeup. The locker 5 is used to place the commonly used consumables in the bathroom, such as hand sanitizer and toilet paper.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 A light strip (not shown in the figure) electrically connected to the control system is embedded circumferentially at the edge of the makeup mirror 6. The light strip serves to illuminate the bathroom, so that passengers can view their instrument makeup more clearly through the makeup mirror 6.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 In order to prevent passengers from taking items in the locker 5 without permission, a lock column 8 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the locker 5, and a lock hook 9 is bolted to the lock column 8. An ear plate 10 is bolted to the side wall of the makeup mirror 6 opposite to the inner cavity of the locker 5, and a lock hole 101 is opened on the ear plate 10 for the lock hook 9 to hook tightly.

[0043] Train staff need to use specific tools to rotate the lock column 8, so that the lock column 8 drives the lock hook 9 to rotate, and the hook tip of the lock hook 9 can be moved in or out of the lock port 101, so as to lock and unlock the makeup mirror 6.

[0044] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The partition includes two coplanar and internally hollow installation bins 11 , the two installation bins 11 are vertically arranged and have openings on opposite sides, and vertical telescopic door panels 12 are horizontally slidable in the two installation bins 11 .

[0045] The mounting bin 11 is also provided with a piston cavity 111 vertically, and the piston cavity 111 is located on opposite sides of the two telescopic door panels 12 . The mounting bin 11 is also provided with a mounting opening 112 for connecting its inner cavity with the piston cavity 111 , and the mounting opening 112 is located at the midpoint of the height of the telescopic door panels 12 .

[0046] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 A first connecting rod 13 is hinged in the mounting opening 112, one end of the first connecting rod 13 is fixedly connected to an arc tongue 14, the other end of the first connecting rod 13 is hinged to a second connecting rod 15, the second connecting rod 15 is hinged to a piston block 16 that vertically slides in the piston cavity 111, the piston block 16 is tightly attached to the side wall of the piston cavity 111, and a driving component for driving the piston block 16 to rise is also provided in the floor 1.

[0047] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 Two lock plates 17 are fixedly connected to one side of the telescopic door panel 12 corresponding to the installation opening 112. The two lock plates 17 are distributed in the upper and lower parts. Both lock plates 17 are provided with slots for inserting the arc tongue 14. The telescopic door panel 12 is also provided with a clearance groove 121 for inserting the arc tongue 14 and the first connecting rod 13 at a position between the two lock plates 17.

[0048] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The driving assembly includes a support plate 18 disposed horizontally and located below the floor 1, and the support plate 18 is welded to the floor 1 via a plurality of support rods (not shown in the figure). A transfer air chamber 19 is bolted between the support plate 18 and the floor 1, which is hollow inside and communicates with the bottom ends of the two piston chambers 111.

[0049] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 A plurality of compressed air components are arranged on both sides of the support plate 18 relative to the partition plate, and the plurality of compressed air components are distributed on the floor 1 at positions for passengers to walk and stand.

[0050] The compressed air part includes an air pipe 20 vertically welded on the support plate 18, a compressed air column 21 is vertically slidable in the air pipe 20 and closely attached to it, a compression spring 22 is supported between the bottom end of the compressed air column 21 and the support plate 18, and the top end of the compressed air column 21 is hemispherical.

[0051] A hose 23 is connected between the position of the air pipe 20 near the bottom and the transfer air chamber 19 , and a hole 24 for the top of the pressurized air column 21 to emerge is opened at a position of the floor 1 relative to each air pipe 20 .

[0052] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 When the bathroom is unoccupied, the piston block 16 is at the lowest position, and the arc latch 14 is plugged into the socket 171 on the high lock plate 17, and the two telescopic door panels 12 are in a locked state.

[0053] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 When a passenger walks into the bathroom, the passenger's feet step on the floor 1, part of the compressed air column 21 is stepped on to move downward, the corresponding compression spring 22 is squeezed, and the air in the corresponding air pipe 20 is squeezed into the piston chamber 111 through the transfer air chamber 19.

[0054] The air pushes the two piston blocks 16 to move upward synchronously, and the piston block 16 pushes the first connecting rod 13 to rotate through the second connecting rod 15. The first connecting rod 13 drives the arc tongue 14 to move between the two locking plates 17. At this time, the two telescopic door panels 12 are in an unlocked state, and the passenger can manually pull the two telescopic door panels 12 closer or farther away from each other.

[0055] Through the movable arrangement of the two telescopic door panels 12, passengers can choose whether to use the sitting toilet 2 or the squatting toilet 3 from inside the toilet without having to look outside the toilet, which is beneficial to improving the humanization of toilet use.

[0056] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 When either the sitting toilet 2 or the squat toilet 3 is in use, a passenger enters the bathroom again. The passenger's stepping on the compressed air component causes the piston block 16 to be further forced to rise. At this time, the first connecting rod 13 drives the arc tongue 14 to engage with the socket 171 on the lower lock plate 17.

[0057] In this way, the telescopic door panel 12 is locked again, and the passenger who enters later cannot move the telescopic door panel 12 to select the squat toilet 3 and the sitting toilet 2, thereby reducing the possibility of the passenger being affected by others during excretion.

[0058] Only after the passenger who entered the toilet first finishes excreting and walks out of the toilet, the telescopic door panel 12 resumes the unlocked state, and the passenger who enters later can choose between the squat toilet 3 and the sitting toilet 2.

[0059] Reference Figure 4 A supporting ring 25 is welded on the side wall of the piston cavity 111. The supporting ring 25 is located above the piston block 16. A return spring 26 is supported between the supporting ring 25 and the piston block 16. When the toilet is restored to an unoccupied state, the deformation force of the return spring 22 can push the piston block 16 downward to achieve reset, ensuring that the telescopic door panel 12 returns to the initial locked state.

[0060] Reference Figure 1 The two telescopic door panels 12 are both bolted with handles 27 near opposite sides. The arrangement of the handles 27 facilitates passengers to manually pull the telescopic door panels 12 to slide.

[0061] The implementation principle of the integrated toilet for squatting and sitting on trains in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: when the toilet is unoccupied, the piston block 16 is at the lowest point, at which time the arc latch 14 is plugged into and matched with the socket 171 on the high lock plate 17, and at this time the two telescopic door panels 12 are in a locked state.

[0062] When a passenger walks into the toilet, the passenger's feet step on the floor 1, part of the compressed air column 21 is stepped on to move downward, the corresponding compression spring 22 is squeezed, and the air in the corresponding air pipe 20 is squeezed into the piston chamber 111 through the transfer air chamber 19.

[0063] The air pushes the two piston blocks 16 to move upward synchronously, and the piston block 16 pushes the first connecting rod 13 to rotate through the second connecting rod 15. The first connecting rod 13 drives the arc tongue 14 to move between the two locking plates 17. At this time, the two telescopic door panels 12 are in an unlocked state, and the passenger can manually pull the two telescopic door panels 12 closer or farther away from each other, so that there is no need to go around to the outside of the bathroom, and the choice of using the sitting toilet 2 or the squatting toilet 3 can be made directly from the inside of the bathroom.

[0064] When either the sitting toilet 2 or the squat toilet 3 is in use, a passenger enters the bathroom again. The passenger's stepping on the compressed air component causes the piston block 16 to be further forced to rise. At this time, the first connecting rod 13 drives the arc tongue 14 to engage with the socket 171 on the lower locking plate 17, so that the telescopic door panel 12 is locked again. The passenger who enters later cannot move the telescopic door panel 12 to choose between the squat toilet 3 and the sitting toilet 2, thereby reducing the possibility of the passenger being affected by others during excretion.

[0065] Only after the passenger who entered the toilet first finishes excreting and walks out of the toilet, the telescopic door panel 12 resumes the unlocked state, and the passenger who enters later can choose between the squat toilet 3 and the sitting toilet 2.

[0066] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
