Benefits of technology

[0007]The stagnant portion of the body of the device is provided with the means for breaking the excrement. It is conceivable that the means for breaking the excrement includes breaking / stirring type one and the other type one (such as breaking the excrement into fragments by a jet stream). Whatever happen, this means forces the excrement to be broken. The lid for open and closure is provided on an upside of the stagnant portion. It is conceivable that the lid for open and closure includes slidable type one and open / close type one. In course of the breaking process, the upside of the stagnant portion is closed by the lid for open and closure. Therefore, this prevents the excrement that is being broken into fragments from being spilt toward an opening side of the body of the toilet device.
[0008]The means for sending the broken excrement by compression is driven before or after the breaking process has been completed so that internal pressure in a closed space formed by the stagnant portion and the lid for open and closure can be increased. When the internal pressure reaches to a predetermined one, an electromagnetic valve is opened at a side of the drain opening. This enables the broken excrement to be sent toward a side of an existing toilet device, thereby preventing the excrement from being remained in a drain pipe connected to the existing toilet device.

Problems solved by technology

By the way, although technology disclosed in the above-mentioned patent document has related to such the technology that the excrement can be drained from the toilet device by sending the excrement by compression, the excrement can be stagnant halfway through the drain hose when insufficient pressure for sending it by compression is supplied because the excrement is sent by compression as it is, so that any insanitation may occur.

embodiment 1

[0051]FIG. 11 relates to an application example of this invention. In this example, a toilet facility 3 is set facing a corridor 2 in a house 1. In the toilet facility 3, a toilet device 4 and a water-supply tank 5 are installed. Along the corridor 2, in this example, a room 6 is positioned as a bedroom in which, for example, a bed 7 is set.

[0052]FIG. 1 is a cross sectional view for showing an important portion of an embodiment of a portable toilet device 10 according to the invention. The portable toilet device 10 has a body 20 of the toilet device. The body 20 of the toilet device has a profiled configuration of a funnel almost like that of a normal water-washing toilet device (of western style), but has a whole configuration of box. The body 20 of the toilet device may be not only formed as a box but also formed as, for example, chair-type one equipped with armrests. In order to save the weight of the body 20 of the toilet device, in this example, plastic molded body is used as t...

embodiment 2

[0100]The following will describe another embodiment (embodiment 2) of the portable toilet device 10 according to the invention with reference to FIG. 12 and later figures. Description on components being common to those shown in FIG. 1 will be omitted and in this embodiment, the lid body is configured so as to be rotatable.

[0101]As shown in FIG. 12, at an upper of the stagnant portion 18 in the body 20 of the toilet device, a reducing size portion 260 is provided at a slightly upper side of an attached position of the means 200 for sending-by-compression. The reducing size portion 260 is configured so as to be a ring-shaped flange portion which extends inwardly by a predetermined length. The above-mentioned sending pipe 204 is positioned between the trap water in the stagnant portion 18 and the reducing size portion 260.

[0102]The reducing size portion 260 is so designed as to be wholly inclined somewhat toward a side of the drain portion 22, as clearly shown in FIG. 12. A rotatable...

embodiment 3

[0119]FIG. 17 and later figures show further embodiment (embodiment 3) of the portable toilet device 10. The embodiment 3 uses the same lid-opening and closing mechanism as that of the embodiment 2 but has a different configuration of the means for breaking the excrement therefrom. The means for breaking the excrement in the embodiment 3 uses a jet stream from the means 200 for sending-by-compression and in this embodiment, in addition to this jet stream, a crashing portion for allowing the excrement to crash with the excrement being stirred by the jet stream is provided in the stagnant portion 18. In the portable toilet device 10, the description of components being common to the above-mentioned components will be omitted.

[0120]The means 200 for sending-by-compression is utilized for crashing process of the excrement and the like in addition to sending the excrement and the like by compression. An air compressor of small size is used as the means 200 for sending-by-compression. The...

Abstract

This is a portable toilet device. Broken excrement may be certainly drained. Means (40) for breaking the excrement having crushing blades is installed in the stagnant portion (18) of the body (20) of the toilet device, means (200) for sending the broken excrement by compression, which sends compressed air into the stagnant portion (18), and a lid for open and closure that closes the stagnant portion (18) tightly are provided.When treating the excrement after bowel movement, the lid for open and closure is closed and then, by driving the means for breaking the excrement, the excrement is stirred and broken into fragments with the stagnant portion being tightly closed. After breaking the excrement into fragments, compressed air is jetted into the stagnant portion so that a liquid mixture formed by breaking the excrement into fragments can be sent by compression toward a side of drain hose (14). Since the drain hose is connected to an existing toilet device of an existing toilet facility or the like, this liquid mixture can be certainly drained to a side of the existing toilet device if the broken excrement is sent by compression.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]This invention relates to a portable toilet device and it particularly relates to a portable toilet device that is available indoors. It, more particularly, relates to such that can certainly treat any excrement and the like with preventing the excrement from being spilt by providing within a body of the toilet device means for performing breaking-processing (stirring-processing) on the excrement and sending the broken excrement by compression, and a lid for open and closure, which prevents the excrement from being spilt and sending the excrement by compression efficiently.BACKGROUND ART[0002]A portable toilet device for an aged person who is necessary for any care or a handicapped person who has any difficulty of going to an existing toilet in his or her house has been developed (see, for example, Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2004-308404).[0003]This portable toilet device is designed to become a chair-type one in order to be able to be installed ...
