[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a RV-mounted toilet purification system based on microalgae cultivation, including a toilet body 10, a circulating water tank 20 above the toilet body 10, a waste treatment device 30 below the toilet body 10, and a microalgae cultivation device 40 above the waste treatment device 30.

[0030] The waste treatment device 30 includes a chamber 31. A separation mesh plate 32 is inclined from left to right within the chamber 31. A first outlet 33 is located on the right side wall of the chamber 31, where the separation mesh plate 32 is situated. A second outlet 34 is located on the side wall of the chamber 31 below the first outlet 33. The first outlet 33 is connected to a fermentation chamber 35, and a valve 36 is installed on the first outlet 33. The second outlet 34 is connected to a bioreactor 37.

[0031] The microalgae cultivation device 40 is equipped with an outlet 41, which is connected to the bioreactor 37 via a pipe. The outlet end of the bioreactor 37 is connected to the circulating water tank 20 via a pipe. A transfer pump 42 is installed on the pipe connecting the bioreactor 37 to the circulating water tank 20.

[0032] The vehicle-mounted toilet system provided in this embodiment can fully decompose liquid excrement in a relatively environmentally friendly way through the natural metabolic capacity of microalgae, thereby achieving the harmless treatment of excrement. It can also filter, recycle, and reuse water in excrement through the connection between the bioreactor 37 and the circulating water tank 20, and can separate solids and liquids in excrement for separate treatment.

[0033] Therefore, this embodiment provides a microalgae cultivation device 40 example:

[0034] The container includes a main body 43, a nutrient solution storage tank 44 at the bottom of the main body 43, the nutrient solution storage tank 44 being connected to the bottom of the main body 43 via a pipe, a light source main body 45 being installed at the top inside the main body 43, a stirring paddle 46 being installed inside the main body 43, the stirring paddle 46 being connected to a drive motor 47 being installed at the top of the main body 43, and a feeding port 48 being installed on the main body 43 to facilitate the introduction of new microalgae strains into the main body 43.

[0035] In this embodiment, the toilet body 10 itself has the flushing function of a general toilet, and the structure that triggers the flushing function is set in the circulating water tank 20, that is, the drain valve is set in the circulating water tank 20.

[0036] In this embodiment, a deodorizing device 50 is provided below the gasket 11 of the toilet body 10. The deodorizing device 50 includes an air pump 51 and a jacket body 52. ​​The surface of the jacket body 52 facing the inside of the toilet body 10 has through holes 53. An activated carbon plate 54 is provided inside the jacket body 52. ​​The air inlet of the air pump 51 is connected to the jacket body 52 through a pipe, and the air outlet of the air pump 51 is connected to the delivery pipe 38 through a pipe.

[0037] When the toilet is used or after it is turned on by the air pump 51, the gas inside the toilet body 10 enters the jacket body 52 through the through hole 53 and is filtered by the activated carbon plate 54. The gas discharged by the air pump 51 can be transported to the delivery pipe 38 through the pipeline, which can be used to transport the powdered compound bacteria in the inoculum box 39 to the fermentation chamber 35 and come into contact with the excrement in the fermentation chamber 35.

[0038] Among them, the powdered compound microbial strains are anaerobic microorganisms or strains that can decompose solid excrement.

[0039] Of course, in actual operation, valve 36 is used to connect the pipeline 38 and the fermentation chamber 35.

[0040] A delivery pipe 38 is connected to the valve 36, and a bacteria supply box 39 is connected to the end of the delivery pipe 38 away from the valve 36.

[0041] Valve 36 includes a pipe body 361, on which a valve plate 362 is disposed. Specifically, valve plate 362 is a disc shape with the same cross-section as pipe body 361. Pipe body 361 has an opening 363 that mates with valve plate 362. The end of valve plate 362 located inside pipe body 361 has a sealing block 364 extending axially along pipe body 361. Sealing block 364 is shaped to mate with inlet 365, but the width of sealing block 364 (compared to the diameter of valve plate 362) is smaller than the diameter of valve plate 362. Conveying pipe 38 connects to pipe body 361 and forms inlet 365 on pipe body 361. Valve plate 362 closes pipe body 361 radially downwards, while sealing block 364 on valve plate 362 opens inlet 365.

[0042] At this time, the valve plate 362 enters the tube 361 through the opening 363 under the drive of the linear motor, and does not completely close the tube 361. The air pump 51 starts to work, and the bacteria are blown into the tube 361. At this time, the bacteria may accumulate on the valve plate 362. After the valve plate 362 enters the opening 363, the bacteria accumulated on the valve plate 362 will be scraped off.

[0043] Of course, this implementation needs to take into account the gas flow temperature when the air pump 51 is working. This can be achieved by setting an active exhaust valve on the fermentation chamber 35, which is linked to the operation of the air pump 51 to ensure the stability of the gas pressure in the system.

[0044] In this embodiment, the air pump 51 can not only extract odorous air from the toilet body 10 to prevent it from entering the air environment where the vehicle toilet system is used, but also transport bacteria.

[0045] In this embodiment, to separate the microalgae after cultivation and the purified water, the water pumped into the circulating water tank 20 has been filtered to remove the microalgae. An end pipe 60 is installed at the outlet end of the bioreactor 37 to... Figure 2 As shown in the diagram, the end pipe 60 is vertically upward. The top of the end pipe 60 is connected to the return pipe 80 through the arc-shaped pipe 70. The end of the return pipe 80 away from the arc-shaped pipe 70 is connected to the fermentation chamber 35. A filter pipe 90 is installed on the upper part of the arc-shaped pipe 70. A filter body is installed in the filter pipe 90. The filter pipe 90 and the return pipe 80 are coaxial. A butterfly valve 100 is installed at the connection between the return pipe 80 and the arc-shaped pipe 70.

[0046] The filter pipe 90 is connected to the circulating water tank 20 by a suction pump or water pump. The purpose of this pump is to draw the purified water from the microalgae culture in the bioreactor 37 into the circulating water tank 20. During this process, the filter body, such as activated carbon or filter cartridge, is filled in the filter pipe 90. The mesh size of the filter cartridge is set to filter microalgae, and the microalgae are trapped at the connection between the filter pipe 90 and the arc-shaped pipe 70. When the microalgae accumulate to a certain volume or weight, they will fall into the return pipe 80. At this time, the butterfly valve 100 installed on the return pipe 80 is closed. The butterfly valve 100 needs to be sealed to close the return pipe 80.

[0047] When the suction pump or water pump stops working and the butterfly valve 100 is opened, the accumulated microalgae will fall into the fermentation chamber 35.

[0048] Of course, in this embodiment, resistance wire heaters can be installed on the biogenerator 37 and the arc tube 70 as needed. In this way, the resistance wire can provide a suitable temperature for the biogenerator 37 through the temperature controller, and the microalgae trapped in the arc tube 70 can also be dried.

[0049] In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the end pipe 60 needs to be smaller than the inner diameter of the return pipe 80 to reduce the pressure required by the pump body when drawing liquid from the bioreactor 37, and also to prevent the drawn liquid from flowing back into the end pipe 60.

[0050] Furthermore, the fermentation chamber 35 in this embodiment can be designed to be detachable, thus meeting the needs of later disassembly and cleaning. Of course, a pressure relief valve or venting valve also needs to be installed on the fermentation chamber 35.

[0051] Furthermore, the bioreactor 37 involved in this embodiment can be an existing liquid excrement bioreactor or a disposable tank structure bioreactor. The purpose of the bioreactor 37 in this embodiment is to provide a place for the cultured microalgae to come into contact with the liquid excrement. The specific functions and structure can be designed according to actual needs.

[0052] The above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. The scope of protection of this application is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or equivalent substitutions to this application within its substance and scope of protection, and such modifications or equivalent substitutions should also be considered to fall within the scope of protection of this application.
