A set is defined as a non-empty set including at least one element.
Figure 1 shows the overall structure indicating the various components in the automatic self-cleaning toilet system. The system includes various components but not limited to a pressure boosting having a pipeline which has a first end and a second, a nozzle connected at a second end of the pipeline, a toilet floor with a double layered platform including a top layer and a bottom layer, a control board , a lock, Vent, Perforated top floor with bottom layer, legs, outlet, toilet pan and obtuse angled corners and a flushing orifice which enables the flow of pressurized water through it as per the signals of the control board for the pre wetting of the pan, prior to the use for the easy cleaning.
Initially, the water pressure is kept at boosted level using the pressure boosting pump upto 10 bars. The system can keep the line pressure even without electricity upto a threshold level. It can keep the pressure even in OFF stage
This system works in an unmanned toilet. The control board (Diagram 3) co-ordinates the functioning of PIR Sensor (05), Door Sensor (06), Access Control Mechanism (02), Electronic lock (08) and Electronic Valves (03a & 03b). With a well-developed logic (e.g. algorithm), the PIR Sensor (05) and door sensor (06)are used for sensing the Human presence and door status. The algorithms are also used for operating electronic valve to allow water flow to flushing and cleaning systems and to maintain the water level and pressure in the pipe.
As the cleaning begins, Pressure Boosting Pump (01) and Electronic Valve (03a& 03b) enables the water to boost the pressure up to 10bars and maintain at such a high pressure. For cleaning the wall and floor, the water goes up through the UPVC pipe to the specially designed Nozzle (04),under the control of the electronic valve (03a) routing the pressurised water to jet into the toilet in a swirled way, conically with a spread of about 120 degrees. The pressurised jet cleans the floor and walls of the toilet and mud and other residues will be collected to the bottom layer of the floor which is finally drained to through the outlet to the water sewage.
In the present invention, as a person enters the toilet, the PIR Sensor (05) and door sensor (06), identifies his presence in the toilet. It gives signals to the Control board which in turn operates the electronic valve (03b), which enables the flow of pressurized water through the flushing orifice (16) enabling the pre wetting of the toilet pan. It enables the cleaning after the use more easy and effective. After the use, the Control board, enables the flow of water through the flushing orifice (16) enabling the post flush. A well-developed algorithm, based on the usage statistics derived using the proximity sensor (15), controls the amount of water used for flushing. Normal flush facilities are also provided.
In the present invention, a specially designed the electronic lock is used so that, no other person can open the door from outside while using toilet. This specially designed electronic lock, allows the unlocking of the door from inside, at any time, manually, even if there is no power.
In the event of a person getting stranded in the toilet, owing to the inability to open the door by himself, a key lock system has been provided to manually open the door from outside.
The figure 2 shows the top and bottom layer of the Toilet floor. It is a double layered platform. The top layer (toilet floor) is a perforated stainless steel floor with a vent. In the cleaning process, as the water swirls at the wall and floor, all the particles and residue are collected at the bottom layer through the perforated holes which is finally drained through the outlet to the water sewage.
Figures are merely representational and are not drawn to scale. Certain portions thereof may be exaggerated, while others may be minimized. Figures illustrate various embodiments of the invention that can be understood and appropriately carried out by those of ordinary skill in the art.
