Description

Title of the invention: PORTABLE MOBILE SHOWER

[0001] The subject matter of the utility model is a portable shower intended for use in campsites or during car journeys, as well as during construction or renovation work when sanitary facilities are not available.

[0002] Campsites usually have sanitary areas with accessible sanitary buildings. These facilities are used by many people and often raise doubts about their hygienic safety. On the other hand, when traveling by car and camping in areas without sanitary facilities, it is not possible to take a shower. There are many professions that thousands of people around the world perform without being able to use a shower, such as truck drivers. Only a few service areas are equipped with fixed showers, and with more than a hundred drivers in such a service area at any given time, the hygienic state of the showers in these parking lots leaves much to be desired. Even during construction or renovation work, when sanitary facilities are not yet available or inaccessible, it is necessary to wash comfortably.

[0003] Simple solutions for mobile showers are known. In most cases, it consists of a small tent on a lightweight, foldable frame, similar to small tourist tents. A lightweight cover with an entrance hole with a zipper is attached to the frame. The shower cabin thus created has no floor. Bathing is done by pouring water from an inserted container or, in a more advanced version, fed by a pump at the end of the shower hose. In both cases, the problem of wastewater arises. In cabins without a floor, the water used with the detergent flows out and pollutes the environment. In the case of a cabin with a floor, the problem is greater, since the water must be drained from inside the cabin and contaminate the surrounding area.These cabins are easy to fold and unfold and take up little space, but they do not allow for washing with hot water and do not offer the possibility of disposing of used water in an environmentally friendly manner. If you want to use such a shower, it is not possible to do so in the truck cabin.

[0004] A portable mobile shower according to the description contained in Chinese utility model CN211796086U is known, comprising: a folding tent, a shower handle, a hot and cold water mixer, a water pump assembly, an electric control box, a water bucket, a heat protection water bucket, a waste water bucket, a tent support, a roof, a side panel, a waste water tank, a seepage plate, a water pump mounting base, a first water pump, a second water pump, a third water pump. The folding tent consists of a tent pole, a roof, a side panel, a waste water tank, and a seepage plate. The roof is inserted outside the upper part of the tent pole, and the side enclosure is inserted outside the lower part of the tent pole. The waste water tank is located at the bottom of the tent frame and inside the side panel. The seepage plate is fixed and installed above the waste water tank. The shower is suspended and installed on the tent stand. The three water pumps are permanently installed on the mounting base, and the electrical control box is permanently installed on the mounting base of the first water pump through the pillar.The water inlet end of the first water pump is connected to the bucket by a water pipe. The first water outlet end is connected to the hot and cold water mixer by a water pipe. The water outlet end of the hot and cold water mixer is connected to the shower by a water pipe. The water pipe is connected to the waste water tank, and the water outlet of the third water pump is connected to the waste water bucket by a water pipe.

[0005] The structure known from the utility model description CN211796086U is complex and contains many components. Despite its great utility, it is complicated to unfold and fold this type of mobile shower. In addition, the number of components results in a large volume and weight for the entire kit, which makes the use of the shower impossible for those who do not have large cars. Furthermore, for people who travel long distances and change locations frequently, even daily, the deployment and assembly of such a structure takes too much time. In addition, the use of such a shower inside a truck cabin is frankly impossible due to the considerable number of components that must be mounted and subsequently disassembled.

[0006] It remains to develop a design which, on the one hand, meets the user's expectations, is easy to assemble and disassemble, takes up little space when folded and, on the other hand, ensures user comfort and is environmentally friendly.

[0007] The portable mobile shower consists of a frame, a suitcase, walls, a roof and a shower head.

[0008] The frame is permanently attached to the shower floor in the case. The floor is made of soft plastic and has a drainage hole. The case consists of two chambers - clean water and dirty water - connected by a connector and hinges. A water pump is installed in the fresh water chamber, to which a shower hose is connected, at the end of which is a shower handle with a water pump switch. The water pump can be powered by a small battery additional rechargeable, so that the shower can be used anywhere when unplugged. The dirty water chamber is equipped with a drain plug, preferably of the click-clack type. Both chambers have filling and drain holes with plugs. The walls, ceiling, and floor of the shower are made of waterproof material. The shower frame consists of bendable tubes of elastic material, preferably needle-like, inserted one inside the other. The frame can also be an air chamber filled with compressed air, in which case the frame contains at least one lockable inlet / outlet port. The lockable shower walls and roof, made of waterproof material, are permanently attached to the frame. Advantageously, the air chamber frame contains four inlet / outlet valves so that the air chambers can be emptied more quickly.A thermostatically controlled heater can be installed in the clean water chamber to heat the water to the desired temperature, with the additional option of adjusting the desired temperature from 35 to 40°C via the thermostat. The water heater and water pump are powered by an electric cable with a plug from the car's cigarette lighter, with a voltage of 12 V DC or 24 V DC depending on the vehicle, or by the existing electrical network. The type of heater is adapted to the type of electrical supply. Water can also be heated using commercially available gas instantaneous water heaters and pumped to the shower handle via an existing pump in the fresh water tank. Then simply reverse the water valves from the shower phone outlet to the gas instantaneous water heater, from where the water will continue to flow to the shower phone.

[0009] The shower resembles a suitcase when folded. This suitcase is portable, so you can take it to a river and fill the tank with clean water. Then, to heat the water in the fresh water tank, a water heater or instantaneous water heater is connected to an available power source and the thermostat knob is set to the desired temperature. Once the water is heated, when it has reached the programmed temperature, this state is indicated by the illumination of the indicator light or by an audible signal. The shower is then placed on a flat surface, the hand air pump is connected to one of the valves on the grid chambers and the air chambers are emptied. The chambers are assembled to form the side walls and the roof. On one of the walls, there is an interior zipper which, when opened, allows access to the inside of the shower. Upon entering, the water pump button on the shower handle is activated.The water pump begins pumping hot water. Hot water begins flowing from the shower handle at the temperature set on the thermostat. At the bottom of the shower, press the floor drain plug with a click-clack sound to open the dirty water chamber. When the dirty water is poured onto the floor, it flows by gravity into the dirty water chamber. When you're finished bathing, press the click-type drain plug, which closes the dirty water drain. When you get out of the shower, let it dry. The air is then evacuated from the frame chambers by unscrewing the frame's inlet / outlet valves, the wall and roof materials are folded back, and the box with the two tanks for clean and dirty water is folded in half using the hinges used. Move the mounted shower to a place where water flows, unscrew the drain plug of the dirty water compartment, and empty the contents of the dirty water compartment into the drain.

[0010] A similar procedure is followed if the frame is in the form of tubes, which are folded into each other and placed in the case.

[0011] The subject matter of the utility model is represented in the drawing, [Fig.l] of which shows the components of the shower in exploded view; [Fig.2] shows a view of the shower in the ready-to-use position; [Fig.3] shows a top view of the suitcase and the location of the floor; [Fig.4] shows the location of the heater in the suitcase; [Fig.5] shows a frame in the form of air chambers without walls; [Fig.6] shows a tubular frame; [Fig.7] shows the suitcase folded on one side; [Fig.8] shows the case from the other side and [Fig.9] shows an additional gas instantaneous water heater, including a gas cylinder.

[0012] The shower consists of a frame 9, a suitcase W, walls and a ceiling 10 and a rubber hose with shower handle 11. The frame 9 is firmly fixed to the rubber floor 8 of the shower in the suitcase W. The floor 8 is provided with a drain hole 4. The suitcase W consists of two chambers: a clean water chamber 12 and a dirty water chamber 13 connected to each other by means of a connector 21 and hinges 5. The floor 8 rests on the chambers 12 and 13 and on the connector 21. A water pump 3 is mounted in the fresh water chamber 12, to which the shower hose 11 is connected, at the end of which there is a shower handle with a switch 15 of the water pump 3. The walls and the roof of the shower 10, made of waterproof material and closed with a zipper 16, are permanently attached to the frame 9. The frame 9 consists of four interconnected air chambers, filled with compressed air.The frame 9 has four lockable inlet / outlet holes 14. A heater 1 with thermostat 2 is installed in the clean water chamber 12, which heats the water to the desired temperature with the additional possibility of adjusting the desired temperature from 35 to 40°C by means of the thermostat 2. The water heater 1 and the water pump 3 are powered from the car's cigarette lighter with a voltage of 12 V DC or 24 V DC depending on the vehicle, via an electric cable with a plug 6. .

[0013] Water can also be heated in an external instantaneous water heater 19 with a gas bottle 20 and pumped by the water pump 3 to the shower head 11. The water pump 3 is equipped with two-way valves 17 which can be switched manually or electrically. The water is conveyed by the water pump 3 to the quick connector 18, from where the water passes to the external instantaneous water heater 19, then to the shower head 11.

[0014] The shower frame 9 may be made of flexible tubes made of elastic plastic material which slide into each other.
