Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a drainage pumping device for pumping sewage or miscellaneous drainage from a water supply / drainage facility device such as a toilet, a bathroom, a washroom, a kitchen, etc. About.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, drainage from water supply / drainage equipment such as toilets, bathrooms, washrooms, kitchens, and the like has generally been gravity drainage using a pipe gradient. However, the use of gravity drainage does not allow the installation of water supply and drainage equipment underground or the flexibility to adapt to changes in lifestyle. Therefore, recently, technology development of a drainage pumping device that pumps sewage and miscellaneous drainage by a thin tube using a pump has been advanced.

[0003]

It is desirable that the drainage pumping device is concealed under the floor or in the wall in consideration of the aesthetics and the discomfort of the user due to the nature of the device. However, in this case, the user, the surrounding people, or the manager cannot know what condition the drainage pumping device is in. For example, if wastewater in excess of the allowable amount flows into the wastewater pumping device when the wastewater pumping device is not energized, the wastewater overflows, which is a serious problem in sanitation. In order to avoid this, it is necessary to inform the user whether or not the power is being supplied. Further, even when a failure occurs, the failure is noticed and no countermeasure can be taken. For the failure of the pumping unit to "stuck", the solidification of the crushing cutter unit is performed by causing the pump motor to repeat forward and reverse rotation as in the solid material crushing and pumping device disclosed in JP-A-8-294641. In some cases, an avoiding means such as being able to pinch or disentangle an object is provided. This avoiding means is useful because even if a crushing cutter is not provided, similar impingement or entanglement may occur in the impeller portion of the pump. However, when such an avoiding means is provided, it is considered that the cost of the apparatus increases and the volume of the apparatus increases. In addition, if the pumping unit fails to keep moving, there is no means for indicating this, so that it is not possible to take measures such as shutting off the power supply. Thus, it is necessary to provide a means for informing the user whether the device is operating normally.

In particular, when a drainage pumping device is connected to a toilet, the toilet is installed at an arbitrary place in the house and the drainage of the toilet can be pumped by a thin tube. It is possible. In this case, by surrounding the drainage pumping device with the outer frame of the chair-shaped nursing toilet, the user's discomfort and discomfort can be reduced. However, in this case, the drainage pumping device will be placed in a concealed state as in the case where it is installed under the floor or inside the wall, so it is not possible to know the condition of the drainage pumping device, and take countermeasures in case of abnormality etc. Can not do. Also, in this toilet for nursing care, it is conceivable to have an opening and closing portion of the path between the ball and the drainage pumping device. In this case, not only the drainage pumping device but also a series of operations of the toilet may be abnormal. There is no further information. For example, if the opening / closing part does not open even after the ball surface is cleaned and the drainage does not flow into the drainage pumping device, the water level in the ball may rise and eventually overflow. In addition, when the amount of water supply is not appropriate and is too large, it is conceivable that the water does not enter the drainage pumping apparatus and overflows, and when it is too small, the sewage is not sufficiently crushed. As described above, it is necessary to inform the user of the operation status of the toilet. In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide a drainage pumping device and a toilet with a drainage pumping device provided with a means for notifying a user or a surrounding person other than the user or a manager of the status of the drainage pumping device and the toilet.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a drainage pumping apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 1 (a)
FIG. 1 is a view showing an embodiment of a drainage pumping device 1 of the present invention, in which the drainage pumping device 1 is connected to a bathroom 2.
The drainage discharged from the drain port 3 of the bathroom flows into a drainage pumping device main body provided under the floor, and is pumped and discharged by a pumping unit 4 such as a pump. The status of the drainage pumping device 1 is shown on a status display section 5 provided at a position where the bathroom wall can be easily seen, so that the user and surrounding people can check at any time. Here, it is assumed that the drainage pumping device main body 1 includes a transmission unit that transmits the status of the drainage pumping device by a signal, and the status display unit 5 includes a signal receiving unit. It is said that it can be installed at a remote location. However, the status display unit may be provided integrally with the drainage pumping device main body or connected to the drainage pumping device main body and provided at an adjacent position. It is most desirable to be provided in a position that draws the attention of the user and surrounding people.

The conditions referred to here include the energized state, activated or deactivated state of the drainage pumping device, failure, the water level of the wastewater in the drainage pumping device, the time from the start of operation, the time of occurrence of the failure, and the water leakage in case of water leakage. Quantity, etc. can be considered. In particular, regarding the energized state, by having the user confirm before discharging the wastewater from the plumbing equipment, it is possible for the excess amount of wastewater to flow into the drainage pumping device when the state is not energized and the drainage to overflow. Can be avoided. In addition, the operating state here means a state in which a pumping unit such as a pump is driven to pump wastewater, but by confirming that the drainage pumping device is in an operating or non-operating state, the draining pumping device is operated. It is possible to know whether or not it is operating normally, and it is possible to take measures such as shutting down the power supply, especially when the pumping unit continues to move more than necessary.

Next, as a failure of the drainage pumping device, for example, the following case is considered. First, the case where the motor of the pump, which is the pumping unit of the drainage pumping device, does not burn and drive. Also, when the motor is driven but the impeller for pumping comes off and pumping stops. Also, when the motor and impeller are not moving and the pumping function is reduced.
Also, when the foreign matter is caught on the shaft of the pump or the like, and the pump stops driving. Further, a water level detecting means is provided in the apparatus, and a control method of starting and terminating the pumping when the water level becomes an appropriate value is assumed. However, the water level detecting means does not operate properly and the water level becomes lower. When the pumping does not start even if it increases, or when the pump continues to operate even if the drainage runs out in the device. Alternatively, a method of controlling the start and end of drainage pumping using a timer is also envisaged, but this timer does not operate properly, and similarly, when pumping does not start or the pump continues to operate. Also, when water leaks from a connection part such as a case or a pressure discharge pipe.
In this way, in the flow from the drainage inflow to the pumping discharge, if any trouble occurs and the pumping is not performed as set, it is regarded as a failure, and by reporting this, the user, surrounding people, or management Can be encouraged to respond.

FIG. 1B is an enlarged view of the status display section 5 of FIG. 1A. Here, the state of the drainage pumping apparatus to be displayed is illustrated as an energized state, an operating state, or a failure, but other states described above can also be displayed. Each status is displayed by a method such as lighting of a lamp. The status display unit 5 is integrated with an energization control unit 6 capable of turning on and off the energization state of the drainage pumping device. This allows the power to be turned on and off as needed,
Further, at that time, the operation can be performed after visually confirming the situation.

Peripheral equipment here means
In the case of a bathroom, a water heater is conceivable, and it is assumed that a remote controller for performing operations such as hot water supply, additional cooking, and temperature adjustment of the bathtub and status display means are integrated.

Here, only the situation display section 5 is shown as the situation notifying means, but not only the means by visual observation, but also draws the attention of the user, the surrounding people, or the manager, for example, by sounding according to the situation. Any object can be used.

Further, the drainage pumping device 1 is provided with status communication means for communicating the status of the drainage pumping device to a person other than the user of the plumbing equipment. The status notification is sent to the outside via a telephone line, wireless, or the like (not shown). The contacted management organization can take measures such as repair according to the situation. Or, even in the same building, for example, the kitchen has more people in the room than other rooms and is often closer to the living room where people gather, so the kitchen was informed of the status of the drainage pumping equipment and the situation was adjusted accordingly. It is possible to inform residents to take measures. In this case, it is conceivable to provide a situation display unit in a place easily visible on the wall of the kitchen, or to warn the resident by giving a warning sound especially in the case of an abnormality.

As described above, when the drainage pumping device is connected to the plumbing equipment, the user and the people around him / her recognize that the drainage pumping device is connected to the drainage pumping device, and receive some attention. It is desirable. In particular, those who frequently use the plumbing equipment and drainage pumping equipment seem to have no problem, but if they are ordinary homes, they are not familiar with visitors such as visitors and users of public plumbing equipment. If used, it is necessary to inform before use that the drainage pumping device is connected. Although any means may be used for this notification, it is desirable to take some kind of measure, for example, by placing a poster stating that "the drainage pumping device is connected" at a location where attention is paid around the plumbing equipment.

Here, in particular, a plurality of toilet bowls 8 are provided in a public toilet, and a plurality of corresponding drainage pumping devices 1 are also provided. As in the home, the status notification means of each drainage pumping device 1 is integrally formed, and here, is collectively displayed on the status display unit 5 and can be checked. Further, the status display section 5
Is integrated with the power supply control unit 6, the status display unit can grasp the status of all the drainage pumping devices, and the power supply can be turned on and off as necessary.
It is possible to centrally manage the status of all the drainage pumping equipment and it is efficient, and if a small number of managers are on standby only near the status display section, they can immediately notice abnormalities in the event of failure etc. can do.

FIG. 6 is a view showing an embodiment of the drainage pumping apparatus 1 of the present invention. Here, the case where the drainage pumping device 1 is connected to the back of the toilet 8 is shown. Drainage pumping device 1
Is partially transparent, and the status of the drainage pumping device 1 can be visually checked from this portion. Here, the state of the drainage pumping device may be an operating or non-operating state, a failure, a water level of drainage in the drainage pumping device, or the like. The transparent portion may be any portion as long as such a situation can be confirmed. In addition, if the transparent portion is exposed as described above, the appearance may be impaired and the user may have discomfort.Therefore, concealing means such as a cover (not shown) is provided, and the cover is rolled up for confirmation. It is also possible to visually check the transparent part.

FIG. 7 is a view showing an embodiment of a toilet 13 with a drainage device according to the present invention. The toilet 13 with the drainage pumping device includes a ball 14, an opening / closing unit 15, and the drainage pumping device 1. The cleaning water spouted from the water supply nozzle 16 cleans the ball surface and flows into the drainage pumping device 1 through the opening / closing unit 15. The excrement also flows into the drainage pumping device 1 together with the washing water,
It is pulverized by a human waste pulverizing section (not shown) in the drainage pumping apparatus and is pumped and discharged together with drainage. A status display unit 5 that displays the status of each operation of the toilet with a drainage pumping device, that is, a status display unit, an opening / closing unit status display unit, a water supply amount display unit of the drainage pumping device,
At least one of the temporal operation status display units is provided on a wall near the toilet, so that the user can pay attention when using. Here, the means for informing each situation is the situation display unit, but this is not necessarily required to be in the form of display, but may be in the form of, for example, informing by voice.

FIG. 8 is a view showing an embodiment of the temporal operation status display section 17 and the release mechanism operation section 18 of the toilet with a drainage device of the present invention. The upper part is a temporal operation status display part 17, and the lower part is a release mechanism operation part 18. The temporal operation status display section 17 is shown so that a series of operation statuses of the toilet with the drainage pumping device can be recognized over time. Here, the series of operating conditions of the toilet with a drainage pressure feeding device is as follows: first, water is supplied into the ball before the user excretes, the user excretes after a predetermined amount has accumulated, and the user after excretion When the washing button 20 is pressed, the ball surface is washed, the washing water and excrement flow into the drainage pumping device, and then the drainage and crushed human waste are pumped and discharged. As an example of a method of detecting a temporal operation state, a method is first considered in which the water discharging means is controlled by a timer at the time of supplying the accumulated water and at the time of cleaning the ball, and the state is grasped by a signal from the timer. At the time of pumping and draining, the drainage pumping device is controlled by a timer or a water level sensor that detects the water level in the drainage pumping device, and it is conceivable that the situation is detected by a signal from the timer or the water level sensor. The user or the surrounding people can recognize the series of operation states while visually observing the display of the temporal operation state display unit, and can confirm whether each part is operating without any problem. Here, the situation display means also serves to notify whether or not a series of situations proceed without any abnormality. That is, for example, each operation status is notified by lighting of a lamp such as an LED, and when a series of operations are performed as usual without any problem, the LED is lit green, and when an operation different from the normal operation is performed by any chance, Means that the LED lights up red. As a means of notifying at the time of this abnormality,
The notification may be made not by the display of the color of the ED but by a means accompanied by a warning sound. If the release mechanism operation unit 18 is provided near the status display unit or integrally formed with the status display unit in this manner, the user, the surrounding people, or the administrator can check the status of the drainage pumping device. It is more desirable to be able to operate the release mechanism operation unit as necessary while visually checking the status display unit. The release mechanism operation unit 18 has an operation button 19 that can release an abnormality in each operation situation when it occurs. Here, since the temporal operation status display unit 17 and the release mechanism operation unit 18 are integrated, the user, the surrounding people, and the administrator know the current status from the display of the temporal operation status display unit 17 and have an abnormality. In this case, the operation button 19 can be released by pressing the button. For example, when an abnormality occurs in which the amount of water supplied is too large during the supply of the stored water and the water level in the ball surface rises, by pressing the operation button 19, the opening / closing portion is opened and the water can be discharged. Here, as the contents of the abnormality and its release, the opening and closing unit is opened according to the rise of the water level, but a release means according to other abnormalities may be provided.
For example, the opening / closing section needs to be closed in order to secure the pool water. If the opening / closing section is not closed, a means for closing the opening / closing section may be considered. After the reserved water is secured, the LED lights up green to notify the user that excretion is possible. After the user or the surrounding person has finished excretion, the user presses the cleaning button 20 to perform ball cleaning and a series of subsequent operations. The main purpose of the cleaning button 20 is to clean the ball surface. However, even when the water supply is not sufficient and the crushing of the pumping device is not performed well, the water can be pressed and discharged to supply water. On the contrary, when the water supply amount is large and the water level rises in the ball washing, the operation button for opening the valve may be pressed.

FIG. 9 shows an embodiment in which the temporal operation status display portion 17 and the release mechanism operation portion 18 of the toilet 13 with a drainage device shown in FIG. 8 can be concealed. FIG. In particular, since there is no need to operate the lower release mechanism operation unit 18 when no abnormality occurs, a cover 21 is provided at this portion, and when there is no abnormality, the cover 21 is concealed. If an abnormality is confirmed by the display of the temporal operation status display section 17, the user or a person around the operator or the administrator can release the abnormal operation by pressing the lid 21 opening operation button. Since the washing button 20 after excretion must be pushed at the time of use, a portion coming to the upper surface of the washing button 20 is opened with a hole in the lid 21 and can be pushed even when the lid 21 is closed. It was possible.

FIG. 10 shows an embodiment of the opening / closing section status notifying means 22 for notifying the user of the open / closed state of the opening / closing section and the water supply amount notifying means 23 for notifying the user of the water supply amount. FIG.
It is assumed that the situation display section 5 of the toilet bowl is as shown in FIG. These conditions are indicated by LED lamps, which are lit green when operating normally,
When this is abnormal, it emits red light to alert the user. The open / closed state of the opening / closing unit can be detected, for example, by providing a magnet in the opening / closing unit, providing a magnetic force detection unit around the opening / closing unit, and increasing or decreasing the magnetic force by operating the opening / closing unit. When the user excretes, stored water is secured in the ball, and dirt is submerged in the stored water, so that the diffusion of odor can be prevented. For this reason, the opening / closing section is closed during excretion, and the “closed” lamp of the LED lamp indicating the state of the opening / closing section should be lit green. If it is confirmed that the “open” lamp is lit in red, the user manually closes the valve, supplies water, and excretes the water. I can't feel it. When the user presses the ball cleaning start button after excretion, water supply is started. When the water level in the ball rises, the opening / closing section needs to be opened.However, even if the opening / closing section does not open even after supplying the prescribed amount of water, that is, after supplying water for the prescribed time. Means that the "close" lamp of the opening / closing section calls attention and lights up in red. Further, when there is a danger that the water level rises and overflows, the lamp flashes red and further emits a warning sound to make the user recognize the abnormality more strongly. Water supply amount informing means 2
