Vacuum toilet and container body for a vacuum toilet
Abstract
A vacuum toilet includes a toilet bowl, a transfer tank with a first tank interior and a flushing water tank with a second tank interior. Flushing water can be conveyed from the flushing water tank into the toilet bowl with the aid of an overpressure that can be applied in the flushing water tank. A suction mass can be drawn from the toilet bowl into the transfer tank with the aid of a vacuum that can be applied in the transfer tank. The transfer tank and the flushing water tank are formed by a container body having a partition wall with a first side and a second side facing away from the first side. The first side delimits the first tank interior of the transfer tank and the second side delimits the second tank interior of the flushing water tank.
Claims

13 . A vacuum toilet comprising:
a toilet bowl; a transfer tank defining a first tank interior; and a flushing water tank defining a second tank interior; wherein flushing water is conveyed from the flushing water tank into the toilet bowl with the aid of an overpressure applied within the flushing water tank; wherein a suction mass can be sucked out of the toilet bowl and into the transfer tank with the aid of a negative pressure applied within the transfer tank; wherein the transfer tank and the flushing water tank are formed by a container body having a partition wall with a first side and a second side facing away from the first side, whereby the first side delimits the first tank interior of the transfer tank and the second side delimits the second tank interior of the flushing water tank.
14 . The vacuum toilet according to claim 13 , wherein the partition wall forms the flushing water tank in the form of a truncated hollow cone, the flushing water tank having a bottom at a first end with a first opening formed as a drain opening and having a second opening at a second end opposite the first end of the flushing tank.
15 . The vacuum toilet according to claim 14 , wherein the flushing water tank has a first inner diameter at the first end of the flushing tank and a second inner diameter at the second end of the flushing tank that is larger than the first inner diameter, in that the flushing water tank widens from the first inner diameter in the direction of the second end of the flushing tank to the second inner diameter, and in that the second opening is circular and has an opening diameter which is equal to the second inner diameter of the flushing water tank.
16 . The vacuum toilet according to claim 14 , wherein the container body has an outer wall and the flushing water tank is connected at the second end of the flushing tank to the outer wall in such a way that the second opening of the flushing water tank is formed in the outer wall of the container body.
17 . The vacuum toilet according to claim 14 , wherein the second opening of the flushing water tank is closed with a lid, the lid having an inlet opening for filling the flushing water tank with flushing water and a compressed air opening.
18 . The vacuum toilet according to claim 17 , wherein the lid is adapted as a fastening receptacle for a one or more fastening system components of the vacuum toilet.
19 . The vacuum toilet according to claim 16 , wherein the drain opening of the flushing water tank is connected to a drain channel and the drain channel is connected to the outer wall of the container body in such a way that a channel drain opening of the drain channel is formed in the outer wall.
20 . The vacuum toilet according to claim 19 , wherein the outer wall of the container body together with the partition wall and an outer wall of the drain channel form the transfer tank.
21 . The vacuum toilet according claim 13 , wherein the transfer tank is fluidically connected to the toilet bowl and is fluidically connectable to a wastewater reservoir.
22 . The vacuum toilet according claim 13 , wherein the container body can be produced by rotary or injection molding.
23 . The vacuum toilet according claim 13 , wherein the container body is made of polyethylene (PE), polyamide (PA), or polyvinylidene fluoird (PVDF).
24 . A container body for a vacuum toilet, the container body comprising:
a transfer tank with a first tank interior; and a flushing water tank with a second tank interior; wherein the flushing water tank is designed and connected in such a way that flushing water can be conveyed from the flushing water tank into a toilet bowl of the vacuum toilet with the aid of an overpressure that can be applied in the flushing water tank; wherein the transfer tank is designed and connected in such a way that suction mass can be sucked out of the toilet bowl into the transfer tank with the aid of a negative pressure that can be applied in the transfer tank; and wherein the transfer tank and the flushing water tank are formed by the container body, the container body further comprising a partition wall having a first side and a second side facing away from the first side, such that the first side delimits the first tank interior of the transfer tank and the second side delimits the second tank interior of the flushing water tank.
25 . A vacuum toilet, the container body comprising:
container body; a transfer tank defining a first tank interior disposed within the container body; and a flushing water tank defining a second tank interior disposed within the container body and adapted to store a predefined amount of flushing water; wherein the flushing water tank is designed and connected in such a way that the flushing water is conveyed from the flushing water tank into a toilet bowl of the vacuum toilet with the aid of an overpressure applied in the flushing water tank; wherein the transfer tank is designed and connected in such a way that a suction mass can be sucked out of the toilet bowl into the transfer tank with the aid of a negative pressure that can be applied in the transfer tank; and wherein the container body further comprising a partition wall having a first side and a second side facing away from the first side, such that the first side delimits the first tank interior of the transfer tank and the second side delimits the second tank interior of the flushing water tank.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
