AI Technical Summary
Existing mobile freezer toilets face issues with uncomfortable seating due to temperature differences between the toilet seat and bowl, inefficient heat insulation leading to increased energy consumption, and geometric mismatches causing gaps and heat loss.
A thermal insulation ring with the same geometry as the seat is integrated under the toilet seat to minimize heat transfer and improve insulation, while ensuring all components share the same shape to eliminate gaps and enhance thermal efficiency.
This design provides a more comfortable seating surface by maintaining heat without additional heating sources, reducing energy consumption, and enhancing overall energy efficiency by minimizing heat loss through improved insulation.

Abstract
Description
[0001] MOBILE TOILET WITH IMPROVED ENERGY EFFICIENCY FREEZER
[0002] Technical Field
[0003] The invention relates to mobile (portable) freezer toilets. The invention relates to the construction of a thermal insulation ring, seat, reservoir and bucket that increases energy efficiency and improves user comfort in mobile freezer toilets.
[0004] Prior art
[0005] Mobile freezer toilets are used hygienically in environments such as camping / caravans, which are close to nature or where there is no toilet installation, and are used to prevent waste pollution that may occur in the environment. The basic principle of mobile freezer toilets is to stop fermentation by freezing the feces and killing the bacteria in the feces and at the same time preventing odor. One of the main purposes of mobile freezer toilets is to ensure that the bottom lid of the toilet seat where users sit is at a temperature that can be sat on.
[0006] To solve the said problem, in the prior art, a hot gas pipe / resistor is used to increase the temperature of the bottom lid of the toilet bowl. Nowadays, this conventional method of using a hot gas pipe is widely used in mobile freezing toilets. The reason for increasing the temperature of the bottom cover of the toilet bowl is that the temperature of the bottom cover of the toilet bowl is low due to the freezer unit in the use of mobile freezing toilets by the users. The aim is to ensure efficient and comfortable use of mobile freezing toilets and to prevent uncomfortable and low temperature. In the prior art, the hot gas pipe system is used to increase the temperature of the bottom cover of the toilet bowl. However, in the prior art, the hot gas pipe does not provide the expected heat increase. On the other hand, having a heating section above the cooling section reduces the efficiency of the cooling section below, which increases energy consumption.
[0007] Moreover, in the prior art mobile freezer toilets, the toilet seat top lid, toilet seat bottom lid and toilet bowl do not all have the same geometric shape. One part may be an ellipse while the other part may be a circle. The fact that these parts do not have the same shape with each other causes these lids not to close completely and negatively affects the insulation to be provided during cooling.
[0008] For the comfort of the users, the temperature of the bottom lid of the toilet bowl should be higher than the temperature of the freezer zone. For this, in the prior art, a heater / resistor is placed under the toilet seat. This both increases production costs and complicates the production stages. On the other hand, having a freezer at the bottom of the toilet bowl and a heater at the top increases heat losses and negatively affects energy efficiency.
[0009] As a result of this technique used today, problems such as uncomfortable seating, loss of time and energy are always a risk for users.
[0010] Aim of the Invention
[0011] The invention relates to a mobile freezer toilet that can solve the above mentioned problems.
[0012] The main purpose of the invention is to increase the heat on the seating surface without the need for the use of heaters, to increase comfort and to provide heat insulation in the most efficient way with the thermal insulation ring added under the lower seat of the toilet seat.
[0013] Another aim of the invention is to maximize the heat insulation by means of the fact that the thermal insulation ring and the chamber have the same geometrical shape and the surface on which the thermal insulation ring sits contains a labyrinth / slot / step.
[0014] The invention aims to provide a more comfortable seating surface and successfully save energy.
[0015] Detailed Description of the Invention
[0016] The subject of the invention, a toilet bowl with freezer, is shown in the attached figures.

[0038] 11- Cooler Pipe The freezer toilet(l) of the invention comprises a body(3), a bucket(4) which can be placed in the body(3), a reservoir(lO) in which the bucket(4) is placed, and cooler pipes(ll) which surround the reservoir(lO) and serve to freeze the feces in the bucket(4), it consists of a foldable seat(8) on the body(3) on which the user can sit, a thermal insulation ring(6) between the seat(8) and the body(3) to ensure that the heat of the seat(8) is suitable for use, and a lid(7) that keeps the toilet bowl closed when not in use. (Figure 1)
[0039] The working principle of the freezer toilet(l) is as follows. The freezer surface(9) placed in the body(3) and surrounding the reservoir(lO); the cooler pipes(ll) placed behind the surface keep the temperature at -15 to - 25 degrees, keeping the reservoir(lO) at the mentioned degrees. In this way, the feces in the bucket(4) placed in the reservoir(lO) freezes and the fermentation of bacteria in the feces is prevented. (Figure - 1 - 2 - 3)
[0040] The energy efficiency of this type of toilet is calculated by calculating the energy required to cool the reservoir(lO) and keep the temperature between -15 and -25 degrees Celsius (El), the energy used to heat the seat(8) (E2), the energy used to compensate for the heat loss in the cooling bowl caused by the heat (E3) and the energy losses due to heat losses (E4).
[0041] E=E1 + E2 + E3 + E4
[0042] Therefore, reducing the amounts of E2, E3 and E4 will increase energy efficiency.
[0043] As the temperature of the reservoir(lO) is between -15 and -25 degrees Celsius, the area of the seat(8) where the users will sit is not suitable for users to sit. In order to make it suitable for users to sit without using any heat source, a thermal insulation ring(6) of the same geometry as the seat(8) (e.g. seat circle / thermal insulation ring circle) is placed under the seat(8). It is placed as a ring in the area under the seating area of the seat(8). The thermal insulation ring(6) is made of any material with thermal insulation properties. In this way, when the user closes the seat(8), heat transfer is minimized and the duration of the temperature drop is prolonged. At the same time, energy efficiency is improved without the need to use any heater (Figure - 4 - 5).
[0044] Since mobile freezer toilets(l) operate on the principle of freezing feces, heat losses negatively affect the energy efficiency of the toilets. In order to increase energy efficiency, thermal insulation is improved by having the reservoir(lO), bucket(4) and seat(8) all in the same geometric shape. For example, when all the mentioned parts are designed as a circle, the gaps between the parts due to geometric shape incompatibility are eliminated and thermal insulation is improved. For example, in cases where the seat is an ellipse and the chamber and the bucket are circular, a complete closure cannot be realized because the walls do not overlap completely, which leads to gaps and heat losses due to these gaps. In addition, thanks to the complete closure of the relevant parts on each other, an intertwined structure could be developed and thermal insulation was further improved. In this way, the bucket wall(4.a) fits into the body level(3.a) formed on the body(3). Full closure is realized thanks to the thickness of the bucket wall(4.a) being at most the height of the body level(3.a). (Figure - 5)
[0045] The indentation(7.a) formed on the lower surface of the I id (7) has the same geometry as the seat(8). Since the diameter of the indentation^. a) is smaller than the inner diameter of the seat(8), the indentation^. a) passes into the seat(8). In this way, heat insulation is provided and energy efficiency is increased. (Figure - 5)
