Unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more.
[0036] In public areas with a large flow of people such as stadiums, shopping malls, airports, and squares, there are relatively high requirements for the number of sanitary facilities in public toilets. However, in male public toilets, adjacent urinals are usually separated by baffles. At the same time, in order to take into account privacy, the baffles will place the positions of the two urinals at a relatively far distance, resulting in a reduction in the actual number of urinals that can be set, which is not conducive to meeting the needs of public areas with a large flow of people for sanitary facilities. In addition, this way of only using baffles to separate for privacy protection still has insufficient privacy protection. In actual situations, for their own privacy protection, users may even use a urinal with one urinal space in between when urinating, thus reducing the utilization rate of urinals. Even, some users will occupy the toilet stalls for urination, affecting the use needs of other users.
[0037] Based on this, the present application discloses a urinal module and a public toilet that pay attention to privacy. Among them, the baffles of the urinal module enclose a toilet space with an opening. When the openings of the toilet spaces of two baffles are connected together in opposite directions, the two connected baffles form a structure similar to an "S" shape. And the baffles with the same opening direction of two adjacent toilet spaces will be separated by the baffle with the opposite opening direction of another toilet space. In this way, urinals can be added at the original positions where baffles are set by using the baffles of the present application, which is conducive to adapting to the scenario of using public toilets with a large number of people. In addition, the semi-enclosed toilet space with an opening formed by the baffles has better privacy, which is conducive to meeting the privacy needs of users when using the toilet.
[0038] The technical solution of the present application will be further described below in conjunction with embodiments and the accompanying drawings.
[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the present application discloses a public toilet 100, including a toilet main body and a privacy - focused urinal module 1 disposed within the toilet main body. Among them, the privacy - focused urinal module 1 includes a plurality of baffles 11 and a plurality of urinal bodies 12. Each baffle 11 is connected in sequence, and the baffles 11 enclose a toilet space 1a with an opening. The openings of the toilet spaces 1a between two adjacent baffles 11 face in opposite directions, and each urinal body 12 is correspondingly disposed in each toilet space 1a.
[0040] It can be understood that the public toilet 100 disclosed in the present application can be a public toilet 100 in public places such as shopping malls, stadiums, airports, and squares, or a temporary and simple public toilet 100. The present application does not make specific limitations here.
[0041] In the public toilet 100 of the present application, by setting the urinal module 1, the openings of the toilet spaces between two adjacent baffles in the urinal module 1 face in opposite directions. The baffle between two adjacent toilet spaces with the same - facing openings will be separated by a baffle with an opposite - facing opening of one of the toilet spaces. The baffle with an opposite - facing opening of the toilet space not only acts as a shielding function between two adjacent and same - facing toilet spaces but also can add urinal bodies in the extra toilet space. It can be seen that the baffle can increase the number of urinal positions while meeting the privacy - shielding function, enabling the public toilet with this urinal module to be applicable to places with a large flow of people and having higher applicability.
[0042] Considering the integrity of the sanitary facilities in the public toilet 100, in addition to the urinal module 1, the public toilet 100 also includes a plurality of toilet pits 2. Also, since the urinal module 1 of the present application has urinal positions with opposite - facing openings of the toilet spaces, unlike the conventional urinal positions with uniformly - facing openings of the toilet spaces. Therefore, considering the comprehensive layout of the urinal module 1 and the toilet pits 2 within the toilet main body, the urinal module 1 can be disposed in the middle area 10a within the toilet main body, and each toilet pit 2 is disposed on both sides of the middle area 10a, so that each toilet pit 2 is spaced apart from the urinal module 1. In this way, not only are urinal positions added within the toilet main body, but also the spaces on both sides within the toilet main body are better utilized, which is conducive to adding more toilet pits 2 to meet the usage requirements of public sanitary facilities in scenarios with a large flow of people.
[0043] To facilitate the understanding of the technical solution of the urinal module 1, the urinal module 1 will be further described below in conjunction with embodiments and the accompanying drawings.
[0044] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 as well. For the urinal module 1 of this application, during installation, one urinal body 12 and one baffle 11 form a urinal position. The orientations of two adjacent urinal positions are opposite. After they are connected in sequence, the number of urinal positions that can be formed can be two, three, four, etc. This application does not make specific limitations here.
[0045] Please refer to Figure 3 as well. Specifically, after multiple baffles 11 are connected in sequence, due to the different opening orientations of the toilet cubicle spaces 1a of two adjacent baffles 11, and at the same time, the baffles 11 with the same opening orientation of two adjacent toilet cubicle spaces 1a will be separated by a baffle 11 with the opposite opening orientation of a toilet cubicle space 1a. The baffle 11 with the opposite opening orientation of the toilet cubicle space 1a not only serves as a shielding function but also can be provided with a urinal body 12, which can increase the number of urinal positions while meeting the privacy shielding function, and is beneficial to meeting the urination needs of more people.
[0046] Optionally, when the baffle 11 encloses to form the toilet cubicle space 1a, it can be formed by enclosing with a complete board or multiple boards. For example, when the baffle is a complete board, the baffle can be an arc-shaped baffle, such as a semi-circular baffle. In this way, the semi-circular concave part of the baffle can form the toilet cubicle space. In this way, when multiple baffles are connected in sequence, the multiple baffles can form an arrangement shape similar to an "S" shape, thus taking into account the privacy design on the one hand and saving space on the other hand due to the different orientations of two adjacent toilet cubicle spaces.
[0047] When the baffle is formed by enclosing with multiple boards, the baffle can include three sub-boards. These three sub-boards are connected in sequence, and two sub-boards are connected to both ends of the length direction of another sub-board, so as to enclose and form a toilet cubicle space similar to a "concave" shape. In this way, when multiple baffles are connected in sequence, the multiple baffles can form an arrangement shape similar to a square wave, thereby achieving the effect of taking into account the privacy design and saving space.
[0048] This application takes the baffle as an arc-shaped baffle as an example. This is because the usage amount of public toilets 100 in crowded places such as shopping malls, squares, airports, and railway stations is large. The arc-shaped baffle 11 has a smoother and flatter outer surface, and the connection transition between two arc-shaped baffles 11 is also an arc connection, which is beneficial to preventing the phenomenon of bumping and injury caused by crowding.
[0049] Considering that the urinal position requires a better privacy protection effect, in some embodiments, along the opening orientation direction of the toilet cubicle space 1a, the baffle 11 has a first edge side 11a, and the urinal body 12 has a second edge side 12a. The first edge side 11a of the baffle 11 protrudes from or is flush with the second edge side 12a of the adjacent urinal body 12.
[0050] Please refer to Figure 3 , where X shown in the figure is the direction indicated by the opening direction of the toilet cubicle space 1a. In this direction X, it can be seen that the first edge sides 11a of the two side baffles 11 of one of the toilet cubicle spaces 1a protrude beyond the second edge side 12a of the urinal body 12 in this direction X. Therefore, when a user stands in front of the urinal body 12, the user can be blocked by the protruding first edge sides 11a. In this way, the first edge sides 11a of the baffles 11 adjacent to this toilet cubicle space 1a can provide a good shielding effect, effectively protecting the privacy of the user when using the toilet.
[0051] In other words, as shown in Figure 4 , it can be known that when the baffle 11 is an arc-shaped baffle, for two adjacent toilet cubicle spaces 1a with opposite opening directions, the arc-shaped protruding part of the baffle 11 of one of the toilet cubicle spaces 1a (corresponding to the above-mentioned first edge side 11a) can protrude more relative to the outer edge of the urinal body (corresponding to the above-mentioned second edge side 12a). Thus, this arc-shaped protruding part can serve as a shielding part for two toilet cubicle spaces 1a with the same opening direction, playing a role in protecting privacy.
[0052] In some embodiments, along the height direction of the baffle 11, a first installation structure is provided at the bottom of the baffle 11. The first installation structure (not shown) is used for the detachable connection of the baffle 11 to the ground. In actual setting, when temporary additional urinal positions need to be added in the public toilet 100, the detachable connection between the bottom of the baffle 11 and the ground can be realized through the first installation structure, completing the addition of urinal positions to meet the need for adding urinal positions in the public toilet 100.
[0053] In some embodiments, a second installation structure (not shown) is provided at the connection between the two baffles 11. The second installation structure is used for the detachable connection of the two baffles 11. In actual setting, when the assembled urinal module 1 needs to adapt to the renovation of the space of the public toilet 100, the detachable connection between the baffles 11 facilitates adjusting the length of the urinal module 1 to adapt to the spaces of different public toilets 100.
[0054] In Figure 2 , as shown, the height direction of the baffle 11 is the direction indicated by Y in the figure.
[0055] It can be understood that the connection between the baffles 11 can also be achieved by using connecting parts such as connecting plates and bolts, and the present application does not make specific limitations here.
[0056] In some embodiments, the first mounting structure and the second mounting structure include at least one of a snap structure, a slide rail structure, and a threaded structure. Exemplarily, a chute is provided on one of the baffles 11, and a slider is provided on the other baffle 11. When the slider slides into the chute, the detachable connection of the two baffles 11 is achieved. Alternatively, a hook is provided on one of the baffles 11, and a latching position is provided on the other baffle 11. When the hook is latched into the latching position, the two baffles 11 are detachably connected. Or, both baffles 11 are provided with a snap structure and a sliding connection structure. After the two baffles 11 are slidably connected, the snaps on the two baffles 11 are snap-connected to enhance the firmness of the connection between the two baffles 11. It can be understood that the above connection method can also be used when the baffle 11 is connected to the ground, which will not be elaborated herein. In addition, when this simple quick-release structure is adopted between the baffle 11 and the baffle 11 or between the baffle 11 and the ground, the disassembly and installation of the urinal module 1 can be realized more simply, which is convenient for the installation of technicians during construction and is also convenient for installation in a temporarily built temporary toilet.
[0057] In other embodiments, considering the problem of the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the urinal body 12, when the urinal body 12 is installed on the baffle 11, the connection method between the urinal body 12 and the baffle 11 can also adopt a snap structure and / or a sliding connection structure, so as to improve the convenience of installation of the urinal body 12 and reduce the installation difficulty.
[0058] Considering that users in scenarios such as shopping malls, airports, and railway stations may hold items such as mobile phones and bags that are not convenient to temporarily place or store when using the urinal module 1 of the present application. In some embodiments, a storage portion is provided on the baffle 11. The storage portion is located within the toilet cubicle space 1a, and the storage portion is provided above the urinal body 12 along the height direction of the baffle 11, and / or the storage portion is located outside the toilet cubicle space 1a, and the storage portion is provided on the side surface of the baffle 11 facing away from the toilet cubicle space 1a. In one example, the storage portion can be a storage table 13. The storage table 13 is located within the toilet cubicle space 1a and the storage table 13 can be provided above the urinal body 12, so as to provide a place for users to temporarily place smaller items such as mobile phones and keys when using the toilet. In another example, the storage portion can be a hook 14. When the hook 14 is provided on the side surface of the baffle 11 facing away from the toilet cubicle space 1a, the hook 14 can hang items such as bags and backpacks that can be hung. In this way, it is convenient for users to free their hands when using the toilet and improve the user experience.
[0059] It can be understood that regardless of whether the storage portion is the storage table 13 and / or the hook 14, the installation height of the storage portion can be set with reference to the position of the baffle 11 that is easily touched by the user's hand, and the present application does not make specific limitations thereon.
[0060] Please refer to Figure 4, in some embodiments, the urinal module 1 further includes a top plate 15. The top plate is connected to a plurality of baffles 11 to cover the openings of each toilet cubicle space 1a in the height direction of the baffles 11. A plurality of lighting lamps 151 are provided on the top plate 15, and each lighting lamp 151 is respectively arranged corresponding to each toilet cubicle space 1a. In order to further improve the degree of enclosure of the toilet cubicle space 1a to enhance the privacy experience of users, the top plate 15 is provided at the opening above the toilet cubicle space 1a. Further, a relatively enclosed space is likely to cause the light in the public toilet 100 to be inconvenient to shine into the toilet cubicle space 1a. Therefore, the additional lighting lamps 151 on the baffles 11 are beneficial to improving the illumination in the toilet cubicle space 1a, thereby enhancing the user's toilet experience.
[0061] Please refer to Figure 1 or Figure 4 , in some other embodiments, the urinal module 1 may further include a skirting board 16, and the skirting board 16 is provided at the bottom of the baffle 11. Since the bottom part of the baffle 11 is prone to being knocked by the sharp parts such as pedestrians' feet or luggage when the flow of people is large, resulting in damage to the baffle 11 and reducing the service life of the baffle 11. Therefore, the skirting board 16 is added at the bottom of the baffle 11 to enhance the impact resistance of the bottom of the baffle 11, prevent the baffle 11 from being damaged, and improve the service life of the baffle 11.
[0062] Optionally, the skirting board 16 can be made of, but not limited to, materials such as metal and polymer with low cost and high strength, and the present application does not make specific limitations here. In addition, the skirting board 16 can be detachably connected to the baffle 11, which is convenient for timely replacement when the skirting board 16 is damaged.
[0063] Due to the above considerations regarding the service life of the baffle 11 and the convenience of disassembly and assembly, in some embodiments, the baffle 11 can be a metal honeycomb panel. It can be understood that in order to reduce the self-weight of the metal plate, the inside of the metal plate is hollowed out to form a honeycomb structure. In this way, the overall weight of the baffle 11 is relatively light, which is convenient for disassembly, assembly and transportation, and the honeycomb internal structure can bring good support strength to the baffle 11, which is beneficial to improving the structural strength of the baffle 11, thereby improving the service life of the baffle 11.
[0064] Optionally, the material of the baffle 11 can be steel, aluminum, stainless steel, aluminum alloy and other materials, and the present application does not make specific limitations here.
[0065] The above has introduced in detail a privacy - focused urinal module and a public toilet disclosed in the embodiments of the present application. Specific examples are used in this article to elaborate on the principle and implementation manner of the present application. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand a privacy - focused urinal module and a public toilet of the present application and its core idea; at the same time, for those of ordinary skill in the art, according to the idea of the present application, there will be changes in the specific implementation manner and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation on the present application.
