Abstract

Described is a sanitary system with double independent circuit, which refers to a system for optimizing the hydraulics of a toilet in order to improve the consumption of the water used for said purposes. The invention also saves water since the function thereof is performed only with 5.0 lts. instead of 6.0 lts. currently used by the conventional systems. In addition, the invention notably improves the washing of the bowl through the ring since the pressure of the water used in said process is higher. The jet circuit also maintains a higher pressure, which results in a higher thrust force in the jet. A higher efficiency in removing the wastes contained in the bowl is achieved in a quick and effective manner. The invention basically consists in that the discharge of the water storing tank of this process includes two valves, instead of one, which supply two circuits totally independent one from each other. One circuit starts from the tank outlet and is led to the ring, the basic functi on thereof is to perform the bowl washing process. The remaining circuit starts from the base of the water supplying tank, forming an independent and separated duct, and is led to the outlet of the jet that discharges the water jet at pressure in the inlet of the outlet siphon through which the wastes are expelled to the drain network. Therefore there are two independent and exclusive ducts for each purpose. Where each circuit has the corresponding valves. The invention uses in a better manner the potential energy of the water stored in the tank, thus reducing losses by friction and avoiding turbulences upon being led through individual channels from the beginning. The toilet hydraulics is improved since the distribution of the water for each function is achieved in a better manner, i.e., the amounts of water assigned to each circuit are dispensed in an improved manner. Pressure losses are substantially removed upon avoiding turbulences caused by circuit engagements and a deficient d istribution of the water fluids. More efficient descendent and laminar flows are achieved. Also an improved use and distribution of the water useful for the process to be attained is achieved.

Description

ITARIO WITH DOUBLE INDEPENDENT CIRCUIT TECHNICAL FIELD directed to the field of mechanical engineering, and more specifically to hydraulic engineering to be a system that allows saving the consumption of water in a toilet, which is a device used for the disposal of organic waste.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION More than 4,000 years ago the Cretans already applied a kind of toilet in the royal palace of Cronoss. It consisted of a cistern, tazol and drainage channel. In other civilizations such as China and India similar systems also existed; However, it was not until the seventeenth century that a sewer system served private homes.

The first toilet that can be considered as such was invented by the English John Harington, who in 1597 developed the valve "water-closet", which was installed in the palace of Elizabeth I in Richmond.

In 1775 John Cummins patented a W.C. of cistern! perfected in 1778 by Samuel Prosse with its ball valve. Seventy years later, under the Act of English Public Health, it was forced to install in all the houses that a toilet service was built. By 1890 it was already used throughout Europe.

The current toilet system works with a siphon that maintains the average level of the water mirror, sealing the system against odors, maintaining the entrance to the siphon at all times with water, acting as a seal. When the system allows the passage of the water stored in the tank, the level of the mirror of the bowl rises increasing the pressure of this causing the forced solids contained in it, through the siphon and leading them to the network channel. sewerage; helping this process the suction effect of the siphon itself that absorbs the solids in the toilet, reaching the level of the mirror at its level i minimum. To finally return the mirror to its average level by equalizing pressures between the siphon and the toilet.

In the beginning, a 1.5 meter elevated tank was used to increase the pressure and allow an eviction with more force, later by improving the design of the ring and siphon system, it was possible to use the tanks at the level of the toilet that make it more comfortable for the user its handling. Since the invention of the toilet by John Harington various modifications have been made mainly of aesthetic design but maintaining the same basic operation.

In recent years, however, due to the constant concern for the rational use of water, methods have been sought to reduce water consumption that fulfill this function. This has been achieved through various methods, which we will detail some below: Pressure flushing toilets: work by means of a discharge system i that increases the pressure in the tank by means of an electric compressor, this method has managed to reduce the water consumption to 4 liters or less, but it has the disadvantage of requiring a source of electrical energy, and that its maintenance is complicated to have electrical and mechanical mechanisms; and in addition, it is very expensive.

Recycling of gray water: systems have been designed that allow the recycling of basin and shower water to be used in the toilet. By means of these systems a saving in water consumption is achieved, although the particular operation of the toilet is not optimized. This system has the disadvantage that the management of water through pipes is more complex and therefore more expensive.

Mechanical methods that eliminate the use of the siphon: there are also changes in the traditional system by means of valves that avoid the use of the siphon, these systems allow the contents of the toilet to be emptied directly into the network, saving water, however, the elimination of the siphon and the use of other mechanisms has not satisfactorily achieved the seal and the elimination of odors, so it is considered that these mechanical systems of direct emptying do not have the required functionality in homes.

Differentiation in downloads. Methods have also been designed to select discharges as required to dislodge solids or liquids only; according to the case. This is achieved by mechanisms that pour different amounts of water, however, this way of handling different amounts of water does not optimize the hydraulic system.

The lowest water consumption that has been achieved through exclusively mechanical systems is 6 liters, the official standards of the United States, Canada, and Mexico request a proof of eviction capacity for the design of a toilet to go on the market. This test consists of placing 100 marbles of material and specific size in the test toilet and operating the system. The norm demands that a minimum of 75 marbles be evicted. Current systems pass the test with just the minimum requirement. Luxeramic is a Mexican company that has developed several methods for the optimization of water consumption, with these methods has achieved that the standard is met with 5.0 liters of water, some of these methods are in patent process.

The most commonly used system to deposit the water in the bowl is to send water from the tank to the bowl by means of a distributor ring with holes that distribute or distribute the water when entering the bowl I to increase the level of the mirror and thus the pressure differential, the system is often strengthened by a jet or hydraulic thrust jet that is derived from the ring by taking part of the water that flows through this ring and diverting it to a conduit that ends in the bottom front part of the bowl, this flow pushes the water helping in the emptying, expelling the solids. This jet has the purpose of only helping to push the solids but reduces the pressure to the bowl washing system, since it uses the same driving channel that feeds both the ring and the jet.

The system we propose complies with the standards described above in a very efficient and satisfactory way with only 5.0 liters of water by improving the design of the hydraulic system.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The SANITARY SYSTEM WITH DOUBLE INDEPENDENT CIRCUIT described in Figure 1 is a drawing that shows the main elements of the toilet for its operation, with a right view a plan view; and both in "corte", which emphasize the "ring circuit". Figure 2 is an illustration of the tank showing mainly j the two independent outputs with their respective valves each. Figure 3 is a right view in section and a plan view showing the circuit assigned exclusively to feed the "jet".

The operation of the toilet is clearly shown in figure 1. It is observed that the water contained in the tank (No. 1) is discharged through these two valves, by actuating a lever another device that simultaneously lift the two valves (No. 2) that feed both, the entrance to the pipe for the flow of the ring (No. 3) as the entrance to the pipe of the flow of the jet (No. 4). In the drawing the entrance of the duct for the flow of the jet (No. 4) to the right is shown; and the entrance to the pipe for the flow of the ring (No. 3) to the left. The position and diameter of the inlets, as well as the device to lift the double valves (No.2) may vary depending on factors or requirements of the sanitary system. With this system, the water is distributed in two flows and / or pipelines independent of each other: the "flow of the jet" (No. 5), and the "flow of the ring" (No. 6).

The "flow of the ring" (No. 6) flows into the ring (No. 7) where through outlet holes (No. 8) washes the bowl (No. 9) and at the same time, increases the static level of the water (No. 10); increases the pressure on the bottom (No. 11) of the bowl (No. 9) where the entrance (No. 12) of the siphon (No. 13) is located where the debris contained in the bowl is dislodged (No. 9).

Claims (5)

CLAIMS Having sufficiently described our invention, we consider it an innovation and therefore claim as our exclusive property what is contained in the following clauses:

1. SANITARY SYSTEM WITH DOUBLE INDEPENDENT CIRCUIT consisting of two independent circuits. One: the flow that feeds exclusively the "jet". Another that exclusively feeds the flow of the ring. That is, two totally independent pipelines, one from the other. With their respective closing and opening valves. One that feeds the ring and another that feeds the jet. This allows the volumes of water that one wishes to assign to one or the other to be dosed in a controlled and independent manner. This is achieved by each of its corresponding valves, since both circuits are fed directly from the storage tank through these two valves. The diameter of these valves can be of different measures according to the needs required. This makes the function of each circuit more efficient and effective. The circuit that goes to the ring, which serves to wash the bowl; and the circuit to feed the "Jet", which goes to the bottom of the bowl, pointing directly at the mouth of the siphon. Which serves for the eviction of the waste contained in the bowl. This assures us that the water coming from the tank conserves its potential energy in a very efficient way, being carried by independent ducts and without obstructions. The friction losses in the conventional systems are greatly avoided, and, in addition, the quantities of water that must flow in can be conveniently dosed. each circuit. Achieving this, maintain almost the same pressure that brought from the beginning to the exit of the tank, until finally reach the mouth of the siphon

In addition, it saves water since this function is carried out with only 5.0 Its. Instead of 6.0 Its. that use conventional systems. Also, it improves notably the washing of the bowl through the ring by having a higher water pressure than it uses for this process. And as for the jet circuit, this circuit also maintains a higher pressure, resulting in a greater thrust force to the jet. Achieving with this a greater efficiency in its function of expelling the waste contained in the bowl, so fast and effective j This invention basically consists of having in the discharge of the water storage tank for this process, instead of a single valve, there are TWO VALVES that feed two circuits totally independent of each other. One goes from the tank outlet to the ring; whose basic function is to carry out the washing process of the bowl. And the other circuit also goes from the base of the water supply tank, forming an independent and separate duct, until the outlet of the jet that discharges the jet of water under pressure into the entrance of the trap or outlet siphon through which they are expelled. the waste to the drainage network.
