Description
[0001] Title
[0002] Toilets with the Capacity to Use Sanitary Cellophane Sheets to Avoid Consuming Water, as well as Converting Waste into Thermal Energy and Purifying Residual Water
[0003] Background
[0004] Nowadays, due to extreme global warming, freshwater scarcity, and a population nearing 9 billion people, situations like toilets consume between 40% and 70% of household freshwater.
[0005] Moreover, the localization of wastewater and its purification into freshwater is very difficult and costly. These costs are directly related to global warming, especially since methane gas has a destructive effect on the atmosphere and greenhouse gases.
[0006] The structure of traditional toilets has physical differences from the anatomy of the human body. Especially during defecation, due to the pressure of weight on the buttock muscles, it is not suitable for the user.
[0007] Human stomach gas contains countless microbes, and for structural health reasons, due to the elimination and ventilation of this gas, it has created a dangerous situation for the user's health.
[0008] Every time the toilet is used, nearly 2 to 4 liters of water are consumed for waste elimination, and this issue requires a very large volume on a global scale with a population close to 9 billion.
[0009] Solution
[0010] The solution is to use a position and mechanism to improve the anatomy of the human body, save fresh water, convert human waste into energy, and convert wastewater back into fresh water.
[0011] One objective is to reach a bathroom design that improves the user's sitting and standing positions.
[0012] Another purpose is to utilize air suction to eliminate and ventilate harmful gases and odors from waste. Another objective is to use sanitary cellophane sheets instead of a large amount of fresh water for waste elimination.
[0013] Another goal is the convenient use of cellophane in the bathroom, and since the cellophane sheet is prepared from tree resin, it generates prosperity and economic justification in tree planting.
[0014] Another objective of this invention is to convert human waste into energy and purify water to provide the opportunity to recover clean energy.

[0041] Waste Processing and Energy Recovery
[0042] Household wastewater pipes arriving at the city are used to transform the waste and residual gases into metabolism. According to the description, the user's weight, sitting on the toilet seat, affects the position of parts number 2, 3, 4, 5 through the user's weight, and through hinge number 10, the force is transmitted to the spring and shock absorber number 18.
[0043] And through the user's weight, the spring and shock absorber number 18 are directed downward to the compressed state, and the user is in a sitting position such that the user's legs are bent from the knees, making defecation and urination very comfortable for the user.
[0044] Before the user sits on the toilet seat, in a mechanical back-and-forth operation, a cellophane sheet is stretched over the seat surface number 3 like a cover, then pressed, and finally, the surface of the cellophane sheet number 30 is placed on the surface. The inside of the bowl is vacuumed to number 3, and the cellophane sheet 30 completely covers the bowl mold.
[0045] At the edge of hole 12, there is a spring wire installed at number 16, which is placed at position number 14.
[0046] After completing the defense, with the help of lever number 17 and pulling lever 17, the user causes spring wire 16 to be collected in a circle, causing sheet 30 to concentrate and gather at one point, and the waste to stick inside it. Sheet 30 closes as if it becomes a bag. Then, with the help of the swing lever number 40, the closed bag containing the waste is directed to the diaphragm valve 52 and then to the pipe 53.
[0047] The swing lever 40 includes a base number 47, a hinge number 44, which is installed on base 47, and on hinge 44, a lever number 45, one end of which has a weight number 43, and the other end of lever 45 is a clip placed at number 43 and number 46, which is pulled with the help of clip 46 with spring wire 16 and placed in the predetermined position.
[0048] The swing device 40, with the help of lever 42 carrying weight 43, and the other end of lever 42 leads to lever 17. By pressing lever 17, the user causes the swing device 40 to move until the bag 30 directs the waste to pipe 53.
[0049] In this embodiment of the invention, clamps 46 and 16 are integrated and have a single-hand mechanism, and clamp 46 and spring wire 16 at position 14 serve as a return station and play an important role.
[0050] There are levers 25a and 25b in the support part of the toilet seat, which consists of 2 levers. Supports are installed along these 2 levers to support the user's back, and at the 2 ends of the levers at the bottom. A series of gears numbered 22, 23, 24 at the top end of the cellophane sheet holding lever numbered 20, whose holding lever is equipped with a series of barb clamps numbered 32.
[0051] As shown in figures 3, 4, 5, support levers 25a and 25b are designed so that when the toilet seat is raised, the cellophane sheet is loaded, and levers 25a and 25b move with the help of gears 22, 23, 24, separated by a large angle movement, from the 12 o'clock position to the 9:15 o'clock position, providing this force to the shock absorber and shock absorber 18.
[0052] In this case, when seat 5 rises to the shock absorber and shock absorber number 18, seat 5 changes from the horizontal position to the vertical position and at the same time, with the help of gears 22, 23, 24, it causes the two levers 25a and 25b to change from vertical to horizontal.
[0053] To open the movement path of seat 5 towards device 90 and press container number 34, levers 25a and 25b are connected to seat number 4 and can move along with seat 5.
[0054] As shown in figures 3, 4, 5, 6, behind support 25, device number 90 is placed, which acts as a support and spreader for cellophane sheet number 30, and has components. An automatic cellophane stretching machine in which the cellophane roll is placed. It is number 32 and automatically cuts the cellophane sheet.
[0055] If the embodiment of the present invention is in this form, lever rod 104, with the help of support screws 106 and 108 and springs 102 and B 102 inside rails 28 and B 28 inside frame 90, moves back and forth, up and down are mobile.
[0056] The main factor for the back-and-forth movement of 104 is lever 25, B 25, 26, and 32, which is 5 with the help of the user's weight while sitting on the toilet seat, and with the help of Earth's gravity and the user's weight, this back-and-forth action is formed.
[0057] In this case, when sitting in chair 5, the user causes 25, B 25, 26, and 32 to move down through 26 and 32 fixed on lever rod 104. As a result, lever 104 also moves down. In this operation, lever 104 acts as support and guide number 30, and levers 26 and 32, lever 104 is placed in the first station, part 105, which is a step station 104, and at the bottom of station 105, the automatic cellophane device 64 is placed, and in this way, levers 26 and 32 pass the device 64 to finally stop at the bottom of the lower part of 64. (This is a one-way operation).
[0058] As clearly visible in Figure 3, after completing the user's emptying activity, seat 5 is directed upwards to the shock absorber and shock absorber 18. In this way, levers 26 and 32 and with the help of device 64 load the cellophane sheets 30 until they reach the station 105 position, then levers 26 and 32 and support 104 together cooperate and carry cellophane sheet 30 to station 107 position.
[0059] At the back of device 90, there is a bowl with number 34, which has holes with number 33 on its outer surface, and the bottom of bowl 34 leads to a set of gears numbered 35.
[0060] In this embodiment of the present invention, the position of bowl 5 with the shock absorber and shock absorber 18 causes bowl 5 to move from the horizontal state to the vertical state and at the same time, with the help of gear 35, press bowl 34 is directed towards bowl 5 and since sheet 30 between bowl 5 and bowl is 34, sheet 30 becomes the mold of bowl 5. Press bowl 34 through holes 33 and the air discharge makes bowl 34 not stick to cellophane sheet 33.
[0061] If the embodiment of the present invention is in this form, a cylinder is used, which is numbered A36 at the bottom and B36 at the top, which are divided by a plate numbered 38, and at the bottom and top, there are ducts equipped with a valve, the sides lead to the bottom of the duct tube A39 and the top to the duct tube A39. As shown well in Figure 8, plate 38 moves towards part A36 through lever 17, and the air pump agent is discharged into parts 33 of the press bowl 34 to make the press bowl 34 not stick to cellophane sheet 30, and in addition, tube A39 leads to bowl 5, and through the holes of part 2 inside bowl 5, they play the air vacuum position between cellophane 30 and bowl 5.
[0062] As shown in Figure 8, next to tubes A39 and B39, tubes A37 and B37 are adjacent, and tubes A37 and B37 lead to part 8, which is a special tube for washing and expelling air, used for the user's personal hygiene.
[0063] As shown in figures 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, it is clear that devices 80, 70, 60, 50 are placed under device 100 of the toilet seat.
[0064] Waste Separation and Pressing Mechanism
[0065] If the embodiment of the present invention is in this form, device 50 has a waste inlet numbered 53, there is a diaphragm door numbered 52, with the help of device 40, a cellophane sheet bag 30 containing waste enters device 50, at the same time at the end of the spring and shock absorber 18, with the help of shoulder gear 21 connected to the shock absorber 18, causes the diaphragm valve 52 to open, then bag 30 is inserted into the end of tube 53, and finally, with the help of the pressure plate 58 at the end of the spring and shock absorber 18, causes bag 30 to be pressed, causing bag 30 to break.
[0066] A stepped plate numbered A59 and B59 controls the range of descent of the spring and shock absorber from 18 to 50.
[0067] If the embodiment of the present invention is in this form, according to figures 13, 12, 11, waste bag 30 with the pressure of plate 58 on plates 51 and 56 causes the separation of liquids from solid waste. This process is through shoulder gear 21 to control articulated plates 51 and 56. In this way, shoulder gear 21, moving towards plates 51 and 56, causes the plates to be placed horizontally inside tube 53, and when shoulder gear moves 21 upwards through spring and shock absorber 18, it causes articulated plates 51 and 56 to rotate from horizontal to vertical.
[0068] Page 51 causes the solid waste to be pressed, and on its surface, there are a series of holes to expel liquids, and on page 56, it is numbered 54 to direct liquids to the tank. The result of this mechanism is the separation of liquids from solid waste. The mold face becomes number 57, and the liquids are collected in tank 54. It should be noted that this entire mechanism is transmitted to number 5 through the weight of the person sitting on the chair. Finally, the solid waste form without liquids 57 leads to device cylinder 60 through pipe 53, and the liquid leads to the boiling tank of device 70 at number 78 through pipe 65.
[0069] Installation of Cylindrical Devices
[0070] As observed in figures 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, cylindrical devices 50, cylindrical 80, 70, 60, 50 are placed one above the other, respectively, and the cellophane sheet is completely installed under the toilet. The solid waste molds 57 are conducted through tube 53 to tank 62 in device 60 and collected. In the center of device 60, there is a heat transfer tube numbered 63 for the fermentation of solid waste 57.
[0071] The solids tank 62, the valve for transferring solid waste to device 70 for combustion, a fan in number 66, and a one-way gas duct tube in number 68 are installed to transfer the gas released from solid waste to device 80. In the tube part, the one-way gas channels 68 and also the transmitter 67 are located in a box numbered 69, which in this box prevents the transfer of the ignition position of device 70 to 60. Inside the tank, there are sensors that generate electricity from the heat position number 90, and also inside device 70, a combustion position number 75, a sheet similar to a metal mesh for storing and burning solid waste number 74, a tube for conducting heat and combustion gas, as well as transferring heat to tank 78 at number 72, transferring liquid vapor 54 to the purification device at number 92, and the waste itself is in the liquid purification station at number 94.
