Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for disposing of used suction pads with a cellulose pulp, which have no plasticized outer shell or can be lifted off from an outer plasticized shell of a hygienic article.
- Incontinents who have to wear absorbent pillows made of a cellulose pulp, are dependent on an external moisture protection which prevents wetting of the underwear or even the outer clothing.
- This moisture protector can be designed as protective or diaper pants that are not permeable to liquids or only in vapor form.
- Flat-shaped inserts of essentially rectangular shape, having indentations on the long sides, with a suction pad for continuously and / or suddenly emerging body fluids are also widespread.
- Such a suction pad is encased by a liquid-permeable cover which is close to the body when in use and a liquid-impermeable cover which is remote from the body.
- Inlays are also known which have an outer, moisture-impermeable cover in the form of a supple shell.
- an economically and ecologically significant improvement in the disposal situation is achieved with the embodiment described in the applicant's international patent application PCT / EP90 / 02063.
- an anatomically pre-shaped shell adapted to its size is permanently attached, which serves as a watertight, supple outer layer for an interchangeable insert with a suction pad encased on all sides by liquid. So there is no longer a biodegradable, plasticized outer shell with every suction pad.
- suction pads can be removed in an environmentally friendly manner by burning or composting, e.g. non-plastified sanitary napkins, panty liners and the like
- non-plastified sanitary napkins e.g. non-plastified sanitary napkins, panty liners and the like
- the wearer must always use waste bins, which can lead to odor nuisance for the incontinent person and his immediate surroundings.
- the inventor therefore took on the task, after he had been concerned with hygienic, non-environmentally friendly, and easily removable suction pads from a dense shell without a plasticized outer shell. drive and to create a device of the type mentioned, which allow simple and cost-saving disposal in wet rooms without having to shred the entire bowl contents, the existing or conventional installations should be used as largely and unchanged as possible . Disposal should be suitable for individuals as well as for larger specialized hospitals or old people's homes.
- the object is achieved according to the invention in that the used suction pad (s) are / are placed in a tightly closable liquid container with a comminution mechanism, this container is filled with tap water, which switches on the comminution mechanism that circulates the contents of the container Containers with the finely dismembered to dispersed cellulose pulp are fed into the building sewer system and the liquid container is rinsed clean.
- Special embodiments and further developments of the invention are the subject of dependent claims.
- the normal function of normal toilet and / or sewerage systems is therefore neither influenced nor impaired.
- the bowl content of a toilet, including toilet paper, remains unchanged by the method and device according to the invention and is flushed into the sewerage.
- a quantity of water corresponding to the contents of the container is fed in with a hose attached to a water tap, before, at the same time or afterwards the lid of the liquid container is opened, the dirty suction pad is inserted, the lid is closed, the comminution mechanism is switched on and after switching off the dispersion or the finely divided suction pad with the water through a drain hose drained into the sewage system.
- the water supply is triggered by an automatically actuated valve at the push of a button.
- the soiled diaper is expediently placed in the liquid container while the water is being supplied.
- the motor of the shredding mechanism is switched on again, at the push of a button.
- the cellulose pulp is cut up to an arbitrarily fine piece size by means of rapidly rotating cutting knives. The piece size can be so small that it is called a dispersion.
- the motor for the comminution mechanism can be switched off.
- the sequence of the container contents is triggered by a further push of a button and the liquid container is then rinsed clean, automatically or by actuating a third button.
- the whole process is controlled by a microprocessor.
- the method is triggered when the lid of the liquid container is completely opened and / or closed.
- the amount of water fed in is limited by the flow time or by a level sensor.
- the usually electromechanical motor of the shredding mechanism runs, also program-controlled, only when the lid is closed.
- the function of rinsing the container is preferably carried out only with a rotating comminution mechanism. This also cleans it on the one hand and makes the rinsing process more efficient on the other.
- a fully automatic process can be tracked automatically on a display, especially with larger systems in homes.
- the object is achieved, according to the invention, by an inflow line which is connected to an installation line for drinking or industrial water and can be closed by a valve or slide, a liquid container which can be tightly closed with a lid and which comprises at least one motor-driven, rotating cutting knife, and a drain line, which opens into an existing drainage system into the sewer system, is released.
- the rotating cutting knife which is part of the smus' locking mechanism, not only cuts the suction pad apart, but also sets the entire contents of the container in a fast, turbulent rotation movement, which is conducive to fine cutting until a dispersion is formed.
- the cutting knives rotating with a high number of revolutions are preferably designed like a propeller or their plane is inclined. This makes the turbulent rotational movement even faster and more intense, and the dismemberment time is further shortened.
- a device according to the invention is installed practically exclusively in a wet room.
- the toilet is the right place where the device is most easily mounted on a wall.
- the preferably flexible drain can be directed into the toilet bowl.
- the method and device are, however, also suitable for use in hospitals and homes for incontinent and / or sick people, where the used used suction pads can be disposed of immediately and do not have to wait in garbage bags for removal.
- the same- timely disposal of several suction pads in larger devices is particularly economical.
- sanitary napkins, panty liners and the like Feminine hygiene articles can also be disposed of without plasticized outer cover.
- the drain pipe can also be permanently installed and not connected to a toilet bowl or a sink, but directly to a drain. It is essential that at least one siphon is arranged between the device according to the invention and the sewage system. This is particularly important for a connection after the siphon of a toilet bowl or a spout.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a device for crushing suction pads with a discharge into a toilet bowl
- FIG. 2 is a cut-away view of a crushing device
- FIG. 3 is a section through a diaper worn on the body with one not plasticized suction kisses.
- FIG. 1 shows a liquid container 10 with an open lid 12 for receiving suction pads, which container is attached to a wall 14 of a toilet room.
- the inflow line 18 can be closed with a valve 20 or slide.
- a siphon 30 is formed, via which the contents of the toilet bowl 24 are emptied into the sewage system, which is indicated by a dashed arrow 32.
- a holder 36 serves to fix the hose 22 drawn out of the toilet bowl 24 and closable with a valve 34 or slide after use.
- the drain line 22 ' can also be installed rigidly, which is shown in broken lines. Via a siphon 38, this flush-mounted drain line 22 'leads directly into a drain 40 leading to the sewer system on the upper floor.
- the device described above for the disposal of suction pads can also be operated purely manually.
- the valve 20 Before, with or after inserting at least one suction pad into the liquid container 10, the valve 20 is opened until the water introduced has reached a filling mark. Then the valve 20 and the cover 12 are closed and a comminuting mechanism is switched on via a switch 42. After a predetermined time, for example about 1 minute, the valve 34 is opened and the liquid container is emptied into the toilet bowl 24 via the hose previously removed from the holder 36. By actuating the valve 20, the liquid container 10 is rinsed clean while the comminution mechanism is running. The trigger lever 28 is then actuated, the valve 34 is closed, and the hose 22 is returned to the holder 36.
- valves 20, 34 or slide valves can be actuated electromagnetically, they are preferably arranged in the housing of the liquid container 10. Via a first operating button 44 which lights up when it is pressed in, the valve 20 is opened, which closes again automatically after the addition of a predetermined amount of water, and then the electric motor is switched on when the cover 12 is closed. When a second operating head 46 is pressed in, the valve 34 is opened and the contents of the liquid container 10 are emptied. When a third operating button 48 is pressed in, the liquid container 10 is rinsed clean and the valve 34 is closed. The actuation of the release lever 28 takes place due to the otherwise additional effort, usually 1.
- the emptying and rinsing, and according to a second sub-variant, the whole process can be triggered with just a push of a button.
- no manually operable operating buttons are necessary; when the cover 12 is completely opened, the method is automatically started, carried out and completed with the rinsing, but the crushing mechanism is only triggered when the cover 12 has been closed is.
- the method can also be started by closing the cover 12.
- a drain line 22 according to the dashed version is preferred, so that a hose does not have to be directed into the toilet bowl 24 and this has to be rinsed.
- a display 50 can show the course of the method.
- a suction pad 52 is visible, which has just been entered.
- the valve 20 is open.
- the level 56 of the water 54 will soon reach a sensor 58 which triggers the closing of the valve 20.
- the sensor 58 triggers an electric motor 64 via a microprocessor 60 arranged in a protective housing 62, which sets a cutting blade 68 in the direction of the arrow 70 into rapid rotation via a drive shaft 66.
- Electric motor 64, drive shaft 66 and cutting knife 68 form the shredding mechanism.
- the cutting knife 68 is designed like a propeller, it sets the container content 72 into a rapid turbulent rotation.
- the suction pad 52 is dismembered within a few seconds and gradually dispersed.
- the tank bottom 74 is chamfered to facilitate complete drainage, the drainage line consisting of a nozzle 75 and a hose 22 pulled over it.
- FIG. 3 shows a particularly advantageous embodiment of a diaper 78, which is worn on the body 76 and has an easily removable suction pad 52.
