Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of spatial design technology for passenger ship living areas, specifically to a dry and wet separation washing and hygiene unit for passenger ships. Background Technology

[0002] Passenger ships refer to vessels that can carry more than twelve passengers. They are mainly used to transport passengers and their luggage. When they also carry a small amount of cargo, they are also called passenger-cargo ships. Due to the limited available space in the cabins, the personal washing areas of passenger ships at home and abroad are generally limited. Therefore, the principle of independent prefabricated sanitary units is generally adopted. Typically, a standard cabin consists of a prefabricated bedroom unit and a prefabricated standard sanitary unit, which highly integrates all washing functions (washing, showering, and toileting) in the same space to achieve the goal of efficient space utilization.

[0003] Currently, almost all standard cabins on operating passenger ships, both domestically and internationally, are designed for two or more passengers. Therefore, the design concept of highly integrating all washing functions into the same space means that only one person can use it at a time. Passengers who need to wash up must wait until the bathroom is empty before they can begin their washing process, which is obviously inconvenient. Washing spaces with separate wet and dry areas are mainly found in a few suites on passenger ships. Their construction method adopts the traditional on-site construction mode. On-site construction mode is a non-standard design. The space design and the background project it relies on are only applicable to ships currently under construction. It cannot be prefabricated, is not easy to mass-produce, and requires more manpower and resources to control the construction quality on-site.

[0004] Based on this, the present invention designs a dry and wet separation washroom space for passenger ships to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a dry and wet separation washing and hygiene unit for passenger ships.

They are suitable for cabin spaces of different ship types, realizing prefabrication and mass production.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the spatial dimensions and external passage width of the three functional areas of the prefabricated shower unit, prefabricated toilet unit and prefabricated washbasin unit all meet the ergonomic comfort requirements of the design.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. This patent application, "Dry and Wet Separation Washing and Sanitary Unit for Passenger Ships," optimizes the spatial layout and cleverly utilizes indoor passageways to split the original sanitary unit from a private space into three independent prefabricated units for washing, showering, and toileting. This creates three sanitary spaces with distinct functions: a toilet area, a handwashing area, and a shower area. This achieves dry and wet separation, allowing different passengers to use showering, toileting, and washing simultaneously without interference.

After construction, it is then transported to the ship and installed. It can be applied to different cabin spaces of different ship types, realizing the prefabrication and mass production of washing units, which facilitates construction quality control while saving manpower and material resources. 3. At the same time, this patented design also takes into account the ergonomic requirements of space. The space dimensions for washing, showering, and using the toilet, as well as the passage width of the external aisle space, all meet the comfort needs of passengers for the corresponding spaces. In addition, the design of the standard prefabricated sanitary unit makes it easy to add standard accessories later as needed, so as to realize further personalized design of sanitary units in different cabins.

[0015] 4. This application integrates a small refrigerator into the washbasin cabinet, which maximizes the use of limited cabin space and avoids the extra floor space occupied by a separate refrigerator. It conforms to the compactness principle of ship design and provides passengers with a private, small-capacity refrigerated space for storing personal items with special temperature requirements. It is more hygienic and private than a public refrigerator. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The following will refer to the appendices in the embodiments of the present invention. Figures 1-8 The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] Example Please see Figures 1-8 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a dry and wet separation washing and sanitary unit for passenger ships, including a prefabricated shower unit 1, a prefabricated sanitary unit 2 and a prefabricated washing unit 3. The prefabricated shower unit 1 is installed against the wall on one side of the cabin corridor, and the prefabricated sanitary unit 2 is installed against the wall on the other side of the cabin corridor. A certain space is reserved between the prefabricated shower unit 1 and the prefabricated sanitary unit 2 and the entrance door for the installation of the equipment. The prefabricated washing unit 3 can be installed against the wall on one side of the prefabricated shower unit 1 or the prefabricated sanitary unit 2.

[0020] The equipment room reserved in the prefabricated sanitary unit should be as small as possible according to the needs of the cabin design, but it should be able to accommodate equipment for HVAC, piping, electrical and fire protection, while also taking into account factors such as not affecting the width of the corridor when the maintenance door is opened.

[0021] The prefabricated shower unit 1, prefabricated toilet unit 2, and prefabricated washroom unit 3 are modular components that are independently prefabricated, assembled on land, and transported as a whole to the ship for installation. They are arranged in a spatially separated manner in the cabin to form independent shower areas, toilet areas, and handwashing areas.

[0022] The prefabricated shower unit 1, prefabricated toilet unit 2, and prefabricated washbasin unit 3 are respectively provided with electrical interfaces and water inlet / outlet pipe interfaces for docking and installation with the ship's systems.

[0023] By designing the prefabricated shower unit 1, prefabricated toilet unit 2, and prefabricated washroom unit 3 independently, dry and wet separation is achieved. At the same time, it is convenient for the prefabrication and mass production of each unit. Compared with the non-standard design of on-site construction, it is easier to control the construction quality while saving manpower and material resources. At the same time, the layout is flexible and convenient, and it is suitable for cabin spaces of different ship types.

[0024] The prefabricated shower unit 1 includes a first prefabricated chamber 101. A first top plate 102 is connected to the top of the first prefabricated chamber 101 to form a closed independent space with the first prefabricated chamber 101. A first door 103 is provided on the side of the first prefabricated chamber 101 facing the corridor. A shower assembly 104 is installed at the center of the right inner wall of the first prefabricated chamber 101. A floor drain 105 is provided at the lower right corner of the bottom of the first prefabricated chamber 101. A storage cabinet 106 is installed at the corner of the left inner wall of the first prefabricated chamber 101, and a partition is provided at the center of the inside of the storage cabinet 106 for classifying and storing clothes. A shelf 107 is installed at the corner of the right inner wall of the first prefabricated chamber 101. A first exhaust assembly 108 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the first top plate 102. Four first light fixtures 109 are provided in a rectangular shape at the lower end of the first top plate 102.

[0025] In this embodiment, the bottom floor of the first prefabricated chamber 101 is designed with an overall slope towards the drain 105 to ensure that water flows away quickly and does not accumulate. The door gaps or curtain bottoms are designed with sealing measures to form a continuous waterproof system to prevent liquid water from penetrating. At the same time, the wet area floor can use non-slip tiles or grating flooring to reduce the risk of slipping.

[0026] The prefabricated sanitary unit 2 includes a second prefabricated chamber 201. A second top plate 202 is connected to the top of the second prefabricated chamber 201 to form a closed independent space with the first prefabricated chamber 101. A second door 203 is provided on the side of the second prefabricated chamber 201 facing the corridor. A toilet 204 is provided on the left side of the bottom of the second prefabricated chamber 201. A toilet paper holder 205 is installed on the inner wall of the side of the second prefabricated chamber 201 that is against the wall. A toilet brush 206 is placed at the bottom of the second prefabricated chamber 201 and is located on the side of the toilet 204. A second exhaust assembly 207 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the second top plate 202. Four second light fixtures 208 are provided in a rectangular shape at the lower end of the second top plate 202.

[0027] In this embodiment, the floor at the bottom of the second prefabricated chamber 201 can be made of waterproof and moisture-proof floor mats or tiles to reduce the risk of slipping. The bottom of the toilet brush 206 can be glued to the floor of the second prefabricated chamber 201 to prevent it from tipping over.

[0028] The prefabricated washroom unit 3 includes a base cabinet 301, a refrigerator 302 installed inside the base cabinet 301, the door of the refrigerator 302 facing the aisle, a ventilation grille 303 at the bottom of the base cabinet 301, a washbasin 304 at the top of the base cabinet 301, a back panel 305 fixedly connected to the top of the base cabinet 301 behind the washbasin 304, a mirror cabinet 306 fixedly installed on the back panel 305, a partition inside the mirror cabinet 306, a light strip 307 at the bottom of the mirror cabinet 306, and a wall cabinet light 308 at the top of the mirror cabinet 306.

[0029] In this embodiment, the refrigerator 302 integrated within the cabinet 301 maximizes the use of the limited cabin area and avoids the additional floor space occupied by a separate refrigerator, thus providing passengers with a private, small-capacity refrigerated space.

[0030] The spatial dimensions of the three functional areas—prefabricated shower unit 1, prefabricated toilet unit 2, and prefabricated washroom unit 3—are rationally optimized according to the cabin specifications, and both the width of the prefabricated shower area and the external passageway meet the ergonomic comfort requirements.

[0031] The working principle and usage process of this invention are as follows: In practical use, the entire bathroom space is divided into three standardized functional modules: prefabricated shower unit 1, prefabricated toilet unit 2, and prefabricated washbasin unit 3. These modules are pre-installed and tested in the shipyard, and then hoisted into the designed position on the hull. Through the externally reserved electrical and water inlet / outlet pipe interfaces, they are connected to the corresponding system equipment of the ship, which greatly shortens the construction cycle in the dock and ensures manufacturing quality. This clearly divides the washbasin space into a shower area, a toilet area, and a washbasin area, achieving dry and wet separation of the toilet unit. The exhaust system integrated on the prefabricated shower unit 1 and the prefabricated toilet unit 2 prevents moisture or foreign objects from spreading to the dry area or rest cabin.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
