GRAVITY FED TOILET DEVICE WITH LOW WATER COMSUMPTION GRAVITY FED TOILET DEVICE WITH LOW WATER COMSUMPTION
CAMPO DE LA INVENCIÓNFIELD OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención se desarrolla en el campo de los sanitarios, los cuales tienen por objeto desalojar desechos sólidos o líquidos hacia el sistema de alcantarillado, quedando el aparato limpio para el siguiente ciclo. Particularmente, la presente invención revela un novedoso sanitario por gravedad y de mega bajo consumo, que no requiere de aditamentos especiales, dado que sus componentes y configuración específica, son suficientes para producir una descarga eficiente de los desechos corporales con una baja cantidad de agua.The present invention is developed in the field of toilets, which are intended to dislodge solid or liquid waste into the sewer system, leaving the device clean for the next cycle. Particularly, the present invention reveals a novel sanitary by gravity and mega low consumption, which does not require special attachments, since its components and specific configuration are sufficient to produce an efficient discharge of body wastes with a low amount of water.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Es bien sabido en el estado de la técnica que actualmente en el mundo se ha generado una creciente preocupación por el consumo de agua, debido a la alta demanda de agua potable por la creciente población mundial, el deterioro de las fuentes hídricas y la contaminación del agua.It is well known in the state of the art that there is currently a growing concern in the world for water consumption, due to the high demand for drinking water by the growing world population, the deterioration of water sources and the contamination of water Water.
Particularmente, los aparatos o sistemas sanitarios requieren del agua como insumo para su funcionamiento, y por ende, resulta indispensable el desarrollo de nuevos productos que sean más eficientes en el uso del agua utilizando menos cantidad de agua por ciclo.Particularly, sanitary devices or systems require water as an input for its operation, and therefore, it is essential to develop new products that are more efficient in the use of water using less water per cycle.
En este orden de ideas, la evolución en materia de nuevos desarrollos sanitarios en el mundo es notable, dado que se ha pasado por sanitarios con consumos en promedio de 1.3 litros (3.5 galones) a principio de los años 90 hasta hoy, en donde los sanitarios convencionales son en promedio de bajo consumo 6 litros (1.6 galones); y algunos otros sanitarios son eficientes (conocidos como sanitarios de ultra bajo consumo) los cuales utilizan en promedio 4.85 litros (1.28 galones). Existen en el mercado mundial algunos productos que ofrecen un consumo menor al de un sanitario convencional, pero en estos casos se utiliza, ya sea un sistema de presión asistida para la evacuación de desechos o algún aditamento especial en los sistemas de gravedad para lograr tal objetivo (por ejemplo, accesorios especiales mecánicos, tal como es el caso de sanitarios para aviones). De esta manera, ha sido un reto para todos los fabricantes de estos productos hacer que un sanitario por gravedad y sin aditamentos especiales para su funcionamiento evacué sifónicamente, asegurando la evacuación eficiente de desechos y garantizando al mismo tiempo el lavado del pozo, el restablecimiento del sello hidráulico y el cumplimiento de las normas más exigentes de desempeño con un volumen de agua menor a los 4.85 litros (1.28 galones).In this order of ideas, the evolution in terms of new sanitary developments in the world is remarkable, given that it has been passed through toilets with an average consumption of 1.3 liters (3.5 gallons) at the beginning of the 90s until today, where Conventional toilets are on average low consumption 6 liters (1.6 gallons); and some other toilets are efficient (known as ultra low consumption toilets) which use an average of 4.85 liters (1.28 gallons). There are some products on the world market that offer a lower consumption than a conventional toilet, but in these cases it is used, either an assisted pressure system for waste disposal or some special attachment in gravity systems to achieve this goal. (for example, special mechanical accessories, such as sanitary ware for airplanes). In this way, it has been a challenge for all manufacturers of these products to make a sanitary by gravity and without special attachments for their operation siphonically evacuated, ensuring the efficient disposal of waste and at the same time guaranteeing the washing of the well, the restoration of the hydraulic seal and compliance with the most demanding performance standards with a volume of water less than 4.85 liters (1.28 gallons).
Con respecto a los sanitarios convencionales, estos están compuestos de dos partes básicas, una taza y un tanque o cisterna que contiene unos dispositivos de flujo de agua convencionales; para algunos modelos este tanque o cisterna puede estar integrado a la taza en una sola pieza.With respect to conventional toilets, these are composed of two basic parts, a cup and a tank or tank containing conventional water flow devices; For some models this tank or tank can be integrated into the cup in one piece.
La manera como estos sanitarios convencionales funcionan se debe a que el agua contenida en el tanque es regulada por un dispositivo llamado "grifería tanque" compuesta de una "válvula de entrada" y una "válvula de salida", las cuales regulan la cantidad de llenado (nivel de agua en el tanque o cisterna) y la cantidad de agua a entregar a la taza respectivamente para una correcta dosificación. Después de que se ha garantizado el suministro de agua y el nivel de agua en el tanque o cisterna, se acciona el sello con la palanca accionadora del tanque, o para algunos modelos con un botón accionador, el agua pasa a través del anillo y además para algunos modelos por unos canales que van directo a la entrada del sifón llamado "jet" o chorro impulsor. Esta agua arrastra los desechos contenidos en el pozo de la taza por el efecto de los chorros de lavado del anillo y del "jet" por el sifón de la taza hacia la tubería de desagüe. Los sanitarios pueden ser sifónicos o no sifónicos. Para los sanitarios sifónicos, cuando el sifón es llenado con agua por efecto de los chorros, se genera un efecto físico de vació y por el efecto de los vasos comunicantes, el agua contenida en el pozo es halada, y por esto es evacuada más eficientemente de la taza.The way these conventional toilets work is due to the fact that the water contained in the tank is regulated by a device called "tank taps" composed of an "inlet valve" and an "outlet valve", which regulate the amount of filling (water level in the tank or cistern) and the amount of water to be delivered to the cup respectively for a correct dosage. After the water supply and the water level in the tank or tank have been guaranteed, the seal is operated with the actuator lever of the tank, or for some models with an actuator button, the water passes through the ring and also for some models through channels that go directly to the entrance of the siphon called "jet" or impeller jet. This water drags the debris contained in the well of the cup by the effect of the jets of washing of the ring and of the "jet" by the siphon of the cup towards the drain pipe. The toilets can be siphon or non-siphon. For the siphon toilets, when the siphon is filled with water by the effect of the jets, a physical effect of emptying is generated and by the effect of the communicating vessels, the water contained in the well is pulled, and therefore it is evacuated more efficiently of the cup
Con respecto a los sanitarios de presión asistida, algunos modelos están compuestos de dos partes, una taza y un tanque o cisterna que contiene un dispositivo de flujo de agua especial, y éste tanque o cisterna puede estar integrado a la taza en una sola pieza. Otros modelos no llevan tanque o cisterna y utilizan un dispositivo de flujo que toma directamente el caudal y la presión del agua de la red para su funcionamiento.With regard to pressure-assisted toilets, some models are composed of two parts, a cup and a tank or tank containing a special water flow device, and this tank or tank can be integrated into the cup in one piece. Other models do not carry a tank or tank and use a flow device that directly takes the flow and pressure of the water from the network for operation.
Para los modelos con tanque o cisterna su funcionamiento obedece a que el agua se encuentra contenida en un tanque especial que aprovecha la presión de la red y se iguala para entregarla a presión a la taza, para luego ser enviada a través del anillo y por canales especiales hacia el chorro impulsor "jet" y así empujar los desechos a gran velocidad hacia el sifón, y por ende, hacia las tuberías de desagües. Por lo general, estas tazas no son sifónicas y dependen de presiones mínimas en la red de agua (de 25 libras (1 1.34 kg)). Para los modelos que no llevan tanque o cisterna, estos utilizan un dispositivo de flujo o grifería llamada "Fluxómetro", la cual toma el caudal y la presión de agua de la red de un diámetro de 5.08 cm (2 pulgadas) para su funcionamiento.For the models with tank or tank its operation is due to the fact that the water is contained in a special tank that takes advantage of the pressure of the network and is equalized to deliver it under pressure to the cup, to then be sent through the ring and through channels special towards the jet jet and thus pushing the waste at high speed towards the siphon, and therefore, towards the drain pipes. Usually, these cups are not siphonic and depend on minimum pressures in the water network (25 pounds (1 1.34 kg)). For models that do not carry a tank or tank, they use a flow or faucet device called a "Flushometer", which takes the flow and water pressure of the network with a diameter of 5.08 cm (2 inches) for operation.
Las desventajas de estos sanitarios asistidos por presión es que son excesivamente costosos por el alto costo de la grifería; requieren una presión mínima de 1 1.34 kg (25 libras) para su funcionamiento, con dispositivos para presión. Por trabajar con agua a presión es más ruidoso al accionar el sanitario. Los sanitarios de "Fluxómetro" requieren redes de agua de 5.08 cm (2 pulgadas) que no son estándar para uso residencial.The disadvantages of these pressure-assisted toilets are that they are excessively expensive due to the high cost of the faucet; require a minimum pressure of 1.34 kg (25 pounds) for operation, with pressure devices. Working with pressurized water is noisier when operating the toilet. "Flushometer" toilets require 5.08 cm (2 inch) water networks that are not standard for residential use.
Por consiguiente, es claro que aún existe en el estado de la técnica la urgente necesidad de un novedoso sanitario por gravedad que evacué sifónicamente los desechos, garantizando el lavado del pozo, el restableciendo del sello hidráulico con tan solo 1 galón (3,8 litros) de agua y sin aditamentos especiales para su funcionamiento. En el mercado mundial no existe un sanitario que consuma 3.8 litros (1 galón) asistido por gravedad, ya que al bajar el consumo de agua se hace más difícil garantizar el desempeño y cumplir las normas. Los únicos sanitarios en el mercado que ofrecen este mega bajo consumo de agua 3.8 litros (1 galón) son de presión asistida, los cuales resultan costosos por el costo de la grifería especial que requieren, y no son atractivos para el público en general.Therefore, it is clear that there is still an urgent need in the state of the art for a novel gravity sanitary system that siphonically evacuates waste, guaranteeing the washing of the well, restoring the hydraulic seal with only 1 gallon (3.8 liters). ) of water and without special attachments for its operation. In the world market there is no toilet that consumes 3.8 liters (1 gallon) assisted by gravity, since lowering water consumption makes it more difficult to guarantee performance and comply with standards. The only toilets on the market that offer this mega low water consumption 3.8 liters (1 gallon) are pressure assisted, which are expensive for the cost of the special faucet they require, and are not attractive to the general public.

Para lograr el balance adecuado entre estos dos objetivos, se trabajaron tres elementos básicos:Thus, for the development of the product of the present invention there was the challenge of working two variables that generally collide in the design of sanitary equipment: mega low water consumption and performance (waste disposal capacity) of the sanitary. To achieve the right balance between these two objectives, three basic elements were worked:
Orientación de la energía (agua)Energy orientation (water)
Se partió de la premisa de la energía en peso de agua disponible (aproximadamente 3 kilogramos) para ser descargada desde el tanque hacia la taza. Para lograr un mejor aprovechamiento de ésta energía, se utilizo una válvula de descarga de 3 pulgadas (7.62 cm) de diámetro, la cual ofrece un ciento veinticinco (125%) más de área de flujo que las válvulas de descarga convencionales de 2 pulgadas (5.08 cm). Para garantizar una caída libre efectiva de esta fuerza se optimizaron los canales del agua, minimizando todo tipo de choques y cambios bruscos de dirección, de manera que se aproveche al máximo la fuerza del agua hacia el chorro impulsor "jet" y hacia los orificios de lavado. A estos últimos además se les diseñó una inclinación y distribución especial que permiten maximizar el lavado de las paredes del pozo con muy pocos chorros y poca agua en ellos (alrededor del 15% del total de agua utilizada en la descarga). Finalmente, al canal del chorro impulsor "jet" se le aplicó la energía restante (85% del volumen del agua) para lograr una eficiencia óptima en el arrastre del material de desecho y alimentación del sifón. Geometría del pozo.It was based on the premise of energy by weight of available water (approximately 3 kilograms) to be discharged from the tank to the cup. To achieve a better use of this energy, a 3-inch (7.62 cm) diameter discharge valve was used, which offers one hundred twenty-five (125%) more flow area than conventional 2-inch discharge valves ( 5.08 cm) To guarantee an effective free fall of this force, the water channels were optimized, minimizing all kinds of shocks and abrupt changes of direction, so that the force of the water towards the jet jet and towards the orifices of the jet was maximized. washed. The latter were also designed with a special inclination and distribution that allows to maximize the washing of the well walls with very few jets and little water in them (about 15% of the total water used in the discharge). Finally, the remaining energy (85% of the water volume) was applied to the "jet" jet channel to achieve optimum efficiency in the waste material and siphon feed. Well geometry.
Se cambió la forma del pozo por uno de tipo embudo alargado que garantiza que el tamaño del espejo de agua cubra las zonas de caída de desechos sólidos y líquidos del usuario. Se ubicó estratégicamente además Ia entrada del sifón y el chorro impulsor "jet" para que alojara el material de desecho sólido en él, y así dirigirlo más efectivamente al sifón por el efecto de la fuerza del agua del chorro impulsor "jet" para su evacuación.The shape of the well was changed to an elongated funnel type that ensures that the size of the water mirror covers the areas where the user falls solid and liquid waste. The siphon inlet and the "jet" impeller jet were also strategically located to accommodate the solid waste material in it, and thus direct it more effectively to the siphon by the effect of the water force of the "jet" impeller jet for evacuation .
Geometría del sifónSiphon Geometry
Se cambió la geometría del sifón para que tuviera menos frenos y que maneje gran caudal de agua para facilitar el paso rápido del agua y el material de desecho hacia afuera sin perder su efecto sifónico. Para ello el sifón inicia con una rampa con una pendiente baja que facilita la entrada del agua a gran velocidad y caudal; posteriormente presenta un vertedero plano a pesar de la apariencia circular externa del sifón para facilitar el desborde más rápido del agua que inundará el sifón en su tramo descendente. Luego del vertedero, la geometría del sifón presenta una curva muy abierta para evitar frenos que devuelvan el material de desecho y facilitar el giro del gran caudal de agua. Finalmente, presenta un gran tramo recto que su función consiste en que genere el efecto de halar el agua y material de desecho que se encuentra en el pozo al ser llenado y por la acción de los vasos comunicantes, y al inicio del sifón para una total y efectiva evacuación del agua con desechos sólidos y líquidos.The geometry of the siphon was changed so that it had fewer brakes and handled a large flow of water to facilitate the rapid passage of water and waste material outward without losing its siphon effect. For this, the siphon starts with a ramp with a low slope that facilitates the entry of water at high speed and flow; later it presents a flat landfill in spite of the external circular appearance of the siphon to facilitate the faster overflow of the water that will flood the siphon in its descending section. After the landfill, the geometry of the siphon has a very open curve to avoid brakes that return the waste material and facilitate the rotation of the large flow of water. Finally, it presents a large straight section that its function is to generate the effect of pulling the water and waste material that is in the well when it is filled and by the action of the communicating vessels, and at the beginning of the siphon for a total and effective evacuation of water with solid and liquid waste.
Actualmente no existe en el mercado mundial un sanitario por gravedad que consuma 3.8 litros (1 galón) de agua, dado que cuando se reduce el consumo de agua se hace más difícil garantizar el desempeño en la evacuación del material y cumplir las especificaciones normativas nacionales e internacionales. Los únicos sanitarios de 3.8 litros (1 galón) que se encuentran en el mercado son asistidos por presión, los cuales incrementan el costo total y no son atractivos para los clientes por el costo de la grifería especial que requieren. No existe ningún producto de la competencia local ni internacional que ofrezca el conjunto de beneficios que presenta este producto (Sistema de válvula de 3 pulgadas (7.62 cm), sifónico, anillo cerrado y mega bajo consumo de agua). El desempeño en cuanto a capacidad de evacuación de material sólido es alrededor de 1000 gr de MISO - prueba de Veritec Consulting Inc. (estándar internacionalmente aceptado en la industria de aparatos sanitarios)Currently there is no gravity sanitary on the world market that consumes 3.8 liters (1 gallon) of water, since when water consumption is reduced it becomes more difficult to guarantee the performance in the evacuation of the material and to comply with national regulatory specifications and International The only 3.8-liter (1 gallon) toilets on the market are pressure-assisted, which increase the total cost and are not attractive to customers because of the cost of the special faucet they require. There is no product of local or international competition that offers the set of benefits presented by this product (3-inch (7.62 cm) valve system, siphonic, closed ring and mega low water consumption). The performance in terms of solid material evacuation capacity is around 1000 gr of MISO - Veritec Consulting Inc. test (internationally accepted standard in the sanitary equipment industry)

ENSAMBLE DEL SANITARIO Y FUNCIONAMIENTOSANITARY AND OPERATION ASSEMBLY
El ensamble de la grifería en el tanque se puede realizar de manera convencional, de acuerdo, de acuerdo a los estándares de la industria. La instalación del sanitario en el baño se puede realizar de manera convencional, como se ilustra por ejemplo, en el Instructivo 279050 Sanitarios Genéricos en Español.The assembly of the faucet in the tank can be carried out in a conventional manner, according to industry standards. The installation of the toilet in the bathroom can be carried out in a conventional manner, as illustrated, for example, in Instruction 279050 Generic Sanitary Ware in Spanish.
El sanitario de la presente invención funciona bajo el concepto de sanitario sinfónico asistido por gravedad, tal como se observa en la Figura 7. Después de ensamblar correctamente la grifería del tanque, se ensambla correctamente el tanque y la taza, en instalaciones adecuadas según norma, se ajusta el nivel de agua en el tanque y el espejo de agua en el pozo de la taza; el agua es descargada accionando el botón que levanta el sello de la válvula de salida en el tanque, lo que permite el paso de aproximadamente 3 litros de agua desde el tanque hacia una primera cámara en el anillo especialmente diseñada con una rampa descendente para direccionar aproximadamente el 85 % del agua hacia el canal del chorro impulsor "jet", sin perdidas de energía en una gran caída libre (en los sanitarios convencionales, esta cámara presenta una rampa plana que ocasiona perdida de energía); el otro 15 % se direcciona hacia el canal del anillo para el lavado del pozo por los orificios de lavado, los cuales además cumplen la función de direccionar los desechos hacia la entrada del sifón. Mientras lo anterior sucede, el agua que viaja en gran caudal y velocidad por el canal del jet hacia la salida de éste, empuja la carga y el agua contenida en el pozuelo hacia la entrada del sifón, continuando en un ascenso por éste hacia el vertedero (punto más alto del sifón al final de la rampa), la rampa tiene una pendiente muy baja comparativamente con los sanitarios convencionales, tal como se ilustra en las figuras comparativas 8a y 8b). Luego de llegar al vertedero, el agua es lanzada velozmente desde el vertedero, diseñado especialmente (plano en el punto más bajo de desbordamiento, que en los sanitarios convencionales es redondo) para facilitar el giro más rápido y en mayor cantidad del agua con el material de desecho. Este gran caudal de agua continua su recorrido, manteniendo lleno todo el área del sifón hasta llegar a la salida de la taza; a lo largo de este recorrido no se presentan fuertes cambios de dirección que ocasionen perdidas de continuidad del flujo y por ello se logra que esta cantidad o volumen de agua hale en combinación con el chorro impulsor "jet", todo el material y agua contaminada del pozo hacia el exterior, tal como lo ilustra la Figura 7. El ciclo se rompe cuando se acaba el suministro de agua desde el chorro impulsor "jet", unos momentos antes de haberse desocupado el pozo en su totalidad, lo que garantiza un cambio total de agua contaminada. Por ello el agua remanente en el pozo tiene un porcentaje muy alto de dilución del 80%, lo cual mejora al 99% al llegarle agua de la grifería en el proceso de llenado del tanque por la manguera de relleno el pozo.The sanitary of the present invention operates under the concept of gravity-assisted symphonic sanitary, as seen in Figure 7. After correctly assembling the tank taps, the tank and the cup are correctly assembled, in suitable facilities according to standard, the water level in the tank and the water mirror in the cup well are adjusted; the water is discharged by operating the button that lifts the seal of the outlet valve in the tank, which allows the passage of approximately 3 liters of water from the tank to a first chamber in the specially designed ring with a descending ramp to direct approximately 85% of the water to the "jet" impeller channel, without loss of energy in a large free fall (in conventional toilets, this chamber has a flat ramp that causes energy loss); the other 15% is directed towards the ring channel for washing the well through the washing holes, which also fulfill the function of directing the waste towards the entrance of the siphon. While the above happens, the water that travels at high flow and speed through the jet channel to the exit of the jet, pushes the load and the water contained in the well to the entrance of the siphon, continuing on an ascent by it towards the landfill (highest point of the siphon at the end of the ramp), the ramp has a very low slope compared to conventional toilets, as illustrated in comparative figures 8a and 8b). After arriving at the landfill, the water is thrown quickly from the landfill, specially designed (flat at the lowest point of overflow, which in conventional toilets is round) to facilitate faster and greater rotation of the water with the material of waste. This large flow of water continues its journey, keeping the entire area of the siphon full until it reaches the exit of the cup; along this route there are no strong changes of direction that cause loss of continuity of the flow and that is why this amount or volume of water is achieved in combination with the jet jet, all the material and contaminated water of the well to the outside, as illustrated in Figure 7. The cycle is broken when the water supply is finished from the jet jet, a few moments before the well is completely vacated, which guarantees a total change of contaminated water. Therefore, the water remaining in the well has a very high dilution percentage of 80%, which improves to 99% when tap water arrives in the process of filling the tank through the well filling hose.
En resumen, el sanitario de la presente invención trabaja aprovechando un caudal de agua a gran velocidad, eficazmente canalizada hacia el pozo y sifón, lo que llena el sifón en su totalidad garantizando el efecto sifónico que complementa la evacuación efectiva del agua y los desechos. Lo anterior es posible gracias a una válvula de salida que es 125% mayor que la de un sanitario convencional; el canal del chorro impulsor "jet" eficazmente direccionado; la potencia del chorro impulsor "jet", la baja pendiente del primer tramo del sifón; el desbordamiento plano del vertedero; y el gran tramo final del sifón con una geometría sin frenos.In summary, the sanitary of the present invention works taking advantage of a high-speed water flow, effectively channeled to the well and siphon, which fills the entire siphon, guaranteeing the siphon effect that complements the effective evacuation of water and waste. The above is possible thanks to an outlet valve that is 125% higher than that of a conventional toilet; the effectively directed "jet" drive jet channel; the power of the jet jet, the low slope of the first section of the siphon; the flat overflow of the landfill; and the great final section of the siphon with a geometry without brakes.
