Balanced urine collecting device for public toilet urine collecting barrel

Abstract

This application relates to a device for evenly collecting urine in public restrooms, comprising a urine collection bucket with a connecting hole on one radial side; a perforated sealing plug embedded in the connecting hole; and a connecting pipe passing through the perforated sealing plug. Several urine collection buckets are connected in series via the connecting pipe, allowing urine to flow naturally between the buckets based on liquid level differences. When using this device, regardless of which bucket a user urinates in, or regardless of the frequency of use of different buckets, once one bucket is full, the urine automatically flows through the connecting pipe to buckets that are not full. This avoids uneven urine collection across buckets, ensuring a reasonable match between the total amount of urine collected and the number and volume of the buckets, thus preventing waste of the buckets' quantity and volume.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of urine collection device technology, and more particularly to a urine collection bucket device for public restrooms that collects urine evenly. Background Technology

[0002] my country's ecological civilization construction has entered a critical period focused on pollution reduction and carbon reduction, promoting synergistic effects of water conservation, emission reduction, and carbon reduction, and facilitating a comprehensive green transformation and high-quality development of the economy and society. This will bring about significant changes in the production and lifestyles of the entire society. Paying attention to major practical issues and actively contributing to carbon peaking and carbon neutrality is an unshirkable responsibility for all sectors of society.

[0003] When urine is collected in public restrooms using urine collection buckets, the frequency of use varies depending on the location of the buckets, resulting in an uneven amount of urine collected and a waste of the number and capacity of the buckets. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address or partially address the problems existing in the related technologies, this application provides a device for evenly collecting urine in a public restroom urine collection bucket.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application employs the following technical solution:

[0006] A urine collection bucket device for public restrooms, comprising:

[0007] A urine collection bucket has a connection hole on one radial side;

[0008] A perforated sealing plug is fitted into the connection hole;

[0009] The connecting pipe passes through the perforated sealing plug;

[0010] Several urine collection buckets are connected in series by connecting pipes so that urine can be naturally guided between the collection buckets by the liquid level difference.

[0011] Optionally, it also includes a non-perforated sealing plug, which is inserted into the connection hole after the perforated sealing plug and the connecting tube are removed.

[0012] Optionally, both the perforated and non-perforated sealing plugs are T-shaped sealing plugs, each comprising a head and a stem.

[0013] The head is located inside the urine collection bucket, while the rod is located outside the urine collection bucket.

[0014] Optionally, the connecting tube is glued to the perforated sealing plug.

[0015] Optionally, the perforated and non-perforated sealing plugs are made of soft plastic or rubber.

[0016] Optionally, the connecting pipe is made of rigid plastic.

[0017] Optionally, at least two elastic pressure strips are arranged in an annular array at the head position of the perforated or non-perforated sealing plug to press and fix the perforated or non-perforated sealing plug to the connection hole;

[0018] One end of the elastic pressure strip is hinged to the outer wall of the urine collection bucket.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: By connecting several urine collection buckets in series through connecting pipes, urine can be naturally guided between the buckets by liquid level difference. In this way, regardless of which bucket a user in a public restroom urinates in, or regardless of the reason for the high or low frequency of use of different buckets, it can be ensured that once a bucket is full, the urine will automatically flow through the connecting pipe to the buckets that are not full. This avoids uneven collection of urine from different buckets, and ensures a reasonable match between the total amount of urine collected in the restroom and the number and volume of the buckets, thus avoiding waste of the number and volume of buckets.

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this application clearer, the preferred embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so as to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] See Figure 1 A urine collection bucket for public restrooms, comprising:

[0038] The urine collection bucket 1 has a connecting hole on one radial side;

[0039] A perforated sealing plug 2 is fitted into the connection hole;

[0040] Connecting pipe 3 is inserted through the perforated sealing plug 2;

[0041] Several urine collection buckets 1 are connected in series by a connecting pipe 3 so that urine can be naturally guided between the urine collection buckets 1 by the liquid level difference.

[0042] Specifically, the urine collection bucket 1 includes a bucket body and a cover. The cover is opened during use and closed after use to prevent the spread of odors. A connection hole is located on the bucket wall five centimeters from the top edge of the urine collection bucket 1, and its size matches that of the perforated sealing plug 2, allowing the perforated sealing plug 2 to be inserted and create a seal, preventing urine leakage. An installation hole matching the connecting pipe 3 is provided at the axis of the perforated sealing plug 2 to facilitate the installation of the connecting pipe 3.

[0043] Several urine collection buckets 1 are connected in series by connecting pipe 3, so that urine can be naturally guided between the urine collection buckets 1 by liquid level difference. In this way, no matter which urine collection bucket 1 a person urinates in in the public toilet, and no matter what causes the high or low frequency of use of urine collection buckets 1 in different locations, it can be guaranteed that after a urine collection bucket 1 is full, the urine will automatically flow through the connecting pipe 2 to the urine collection buckets 1 that are not full. This avoids uneven urine collection among the urine collection buckets 1, and ensures that the total amount of urine collected by the urine collection buckets 1 in the toilet is reasonably matched with the number and volume of urine collection buckets 1, avoiding waste of the number and volume of urine collection buckets 1.

[0044] In addition, in traditional technology, urine can easily overflow when a urine collection bucket 1 is full, causing toilet pollution. In this embodiment, multiple urine collection buckets 1 are connected in series. When the flow rate of a urine collection bucket 1 surges for a short period of time, the urine will also be guided backward layer by layer through the connecting pipe 2, avoiding a single bucket from independently carrying excessive urine, eliminating the risk of overflow from the source and avoiding toilet pollution.

[0045] Example 2

[0046] See Figure 2 Based on Embodiment 1, optionally, a urine collection device for a public restroom urine collection bucket also includes a non-perforated sealing plug 4, which is embedded in the connecting hole after the perforated sealing plug 2 and the connecting pipe 3 are removed.

[0047] Specifically, the non-porous sealing plug 4 is a solid structure, and its size matches the size of the connecting hole and is consistent with the size of the perforated sealing plug 2, so that the non-porous sealing plug 4 can achieve a seal after being inserted. When collecting urine from the urine collection bucket 1, the perforated sealing plug 2 is first removed, and then the connecting pipe 2 is removed. The non-porous sealing plug 4 is then used to plug and seal the connecting hole of the urine collection bucket 1 to prevent urine from leaking out from the connecting hole of the urine collection bucket 1.

[0048] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 Optionally, both the perforated sealing plug 2 and the non-perforated sealing plug 4 are T-shaped sealing plugs, and the T-shaped sealing plug includes a head 5 and a rod 6;

[0049] The head 5 is located inside the urine collection bucket 1, and the rod 6 is located outside the urine collection bucket 1.

[0050] Specifically, the T-shaped sealing plug structure facilitates the insertion of the rod 6 into the connecting hole. The T-shaped sealing plug is made of elastic material, and the diameter of the elastic material head 5 is larger than that of the rod 6 and the connecting hole. When inserted, elastic stress is generated, forming a sealing layer on the contact surface, thereby achieving a seal. A rounded chamfer can be provided at the connection between the head 5 and the rod 6 to form a diameter gradient structure, further enhancing the sealing performance.

[0051] Optionally, the connecting pipe 3 is glued to the perforated sealing plug 2.

[0052] Specifically, the adhesive can penetrate and fill the micron-level gaps in the joint surface to form a continuous sealing film. At the same time, the adhesive has high elasticity and recovery ability. When subjected to temperature changes or mechanical vibration, the adhesive layer absorbs displacement through elastic deformation, avoids gap formation, and ensures continuous sealing.

[0053] Optionally, the perforated sealing plug 2 and the non-perforated sealing plug 4 are made of soft plastic or rubber.

[0054] Specifically, soft plastic or rubber materials have high elasticity. When they form an interference fit with the connection hole, they can fill microscopic gaps and form an annular sealing band. When subjected to temperature changes or mechanical vibration, the soft plastic or rubber materials absorb displacement through elastic deformation and maintain a long-term seal.

[0055] Optionally, the connecting pipe 3 is made of rigid plastic.

[0056] Specifically, the connecting tube 3 is made of rigid plastic, which facilitates bonding and fixing with the perforated sealing plug 2; the rigid plastic is impact-resistant and can withstand collisions in public places; the rigid plastic has high rigidity and can withstand the static pressure of urine, ensuring that the connecting tube 3 remains straight and does not collapse when multiple buckets are connected in series (compared to soft tubes which are prone to sagging and blockage), allowing urine to flow smoothly through the liquid level difference.

[0057] Example 3

[0058] See Figure 5 Based on the above embodiments, optionally, at least two elastic pressure strips 7 are arranged in an annular array at the head 5 position of the perforated sealing plug 2 or the non-perforated sealing plug 4, so that the perforated sealing plug 2 or the non-perforated sealing plug 4 is pressed and fixed at the connection hole.

[0059] One end of the elastic pressure strip 7 is hinged to the outer wall of the urine collection bucket 1.

[0060] Specifically, the elastic pressure strip 7 has a Z-shaped structure. One end is hinged to the outer wall of the urine collection tank 1, allowing it to rotate freely. The other end, through elastic pressure, presses the perforated sealing plug 2 or the non-perforated sealing plug 4 tightly against the connection hole, further improving the stability and sealing performance of the sealing plug, thereby enhancing the safety of the urine collection tank 1 and reducing the risk of leakage. When it is necessary to remove the perforated sealing plug 2 or the non-perforated sealing plug 4, simply rotate the elastic pressure strip 7 to release the pressure on the perforated sealing plug 2 or the non-perforated sealing plug 4.

[0061] It should be noted that the structures and / or installation methods not detailed in this application are those that can be known by those skilled in the art in combination with common knowledge and / or prior art, and are not the focus of this application, and will not be elaborated further here.

[0062] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit it. Although this application has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made to it in form and detail without departing from the scope defined by the claims of this application; the dimensions of the drawings are not related to the specific physical object, and the physical object dimensions can be arbitrarily changed.
