State of the art

Currently most of the toilets existing in the residential area use water from the network of general supply for cleaning sewage the toilets. For water saving, there are models designed with mechanisms that manage the release of water as need more or less volume.

There are also systems that after recovering gray waters are subjected to a purification process and then stored, to be reused, reaching a significant water and energy savings, especially in areas where the Water is scarce, obtaining it expensive. These solutions are designed and designed for large facilities such as sports centers, shopping centers, trade shows, etc ...

For this, the present invention focuses on the uptake of gray water that derives from ordinary use in the toilets, for reuse in the toilet, combining it with a double compartment design of storage. As a result, considerable savings will be obtained of water.

Detailed description of the invention

The present invention relates to a toilet automated, which collects by gravity the gray water generated in a bathroom, from sinks, bidet and shower.

They are then filtered in a tank with a vent, to remove waste such as hair, soap, toothpaste, etc ... Once filtering is done, these waters are picked up by a level detector, starting a pump water hereinafter referred to as "collection", and that the will transport to the tank filling it.

If the gray water flow continues, it will pass from the tank to the warehouse that is under the cistern and that has a capacity of the order of thirty liters. A Once both tanks are filled, the level detector will stop the pump pick up

If the gray water supply continues, it will fill the inlet manifold and will go outside through the usual sewage pipes.

When using the cistern, it will be emptied and at that time a level detector will accuse the lack of water and will start the second pump called "from warehouse ", so that it is replenished again with water from from warehouse warehouse. The cycle will be repeated every time use the tank, as long as the tank has water warehouse, since if it runs out, a level detector will block the operation of the warehouse pump.

If this is the case, since the deposits are empty, the tank will fill slowly through the filling valve and passage calibrated with water from the general supply network with in order that at no time water is lacking in the cistern.

Water from the general supply network only It will fill the tank, since its valve will close before reaching the height of the filling mouth of the warehouse, avoiding a water consumption of the network and waiting for gray water.

It can also happen that the gray water of the tank is small, as an example of a half tank, in this In this case, the rest of the water that is missing, that is, the other half of the cistern, would be filled with water from the general network.

-

The Collection pump fills the tank and the storage tank.

-

The Warehouse pump fills the tank.

With normal use in the bathroom, always there will be gray water to take advantage of by keeping them in the cistern and In the warehouse warehouse.

Being these deposits of a reduced capacity It makes these waters not stand still long.

For general cleaning just add a liquid detergent, such as bleach in the sink, which together with the water will be collected and transported to the tanks cleaning and disinfecting, finally leaving the toilet to make use of the tank.

It may happen that a user does not want to use water from the general supply network in the toilet will suffice with closing the stopcock so that the system only works with grey waters.

In case of electrical breakdown of the system, or by switching off the start switch, the tank only it would be fed with water from the supply network.

If the circumstance were given that level detectors will fail, and the bombs could not stop, the water would flow into the toilet through the overflow located high of the tank, thus avoiding a possible overflow and flooding of the toilet room.

Detailed statement of how to carry out the invention

The present invention is illustrated by the following example, which is not intended to be limiting of its scope.

Example: as you can see in figure 4, in she shows the arrangement of body elements main (40), which we divide into three distinct parts as they are: the collection and pumping systems (14), warehouse storage (13), and the third part formed by the cistern (4) and the mechanisms of control and drive (15).

The three parts are mounted on a chassis that subject to the set called main body (40), in it they will be fixed the two tanks, constructed in plastic or polyester, with in order to avoid weight and have a resistance to possible breakage and water leaks, and in the lower part will be installed the pickup and pumping.

This chassis with its different parts mounted It is screwed onto the wall of the toilet room.

Once assembled, a piece of the same material that the toilet body (12) will be installed as a lining, which according to the desired aesthetic, it will have different shapes and colors joining the whole team.

It is not necessary to mention the different components of the collection systems (14), and of the mechanisms of control (15), since they are widely established in the market.

The toilet body is then installed (12) bolted to the ground and attached to the main body, by means of drain pipe (8).

Description of the way in which the invention is susceptible to industrial application

The proposed invention would have an applicability direct industrial in the installation of toilets in rooms bathrooms and toilets regardless of their use: residential, public, services (restaurants, large areas), etc. As a result less water consumption will be obtained from the ordinary network of supply, which will report a reduction in costs derived from lower consumption, and therefore economic savings For the users. But more importantly, you will get a reduction of global population consumption, which will mean have more reserves, when water saving is a global issue.

For both reasons, it is estimated of interest industrial and social, the benefits derived from the invention.

Description of the invention through the figures

Through the collection T (20) of the figure 1, the water from the bidet (16), sinks (17), falls to the collector (22) of collection and by gravity goes to the main body entrance (40) Figure 4, passes through the filter (29) entering the tank (3. 4).

When the water level rises, it is captured by the level detector (33) starting the collection pump (35).

The collection pump (35) drives the water filling the tank (4) through the mouth (23).

If the gray water supply continues, it begins to Enter the warehouse (13) through the mouth (32) (level C figure 6) until both deposits are filled (level D figure 6).

Once full, the level detector (31) (level D figure 6), disconnect the collection pump (35) blocking the water inlet In case of system failure the water would follow going up to the mouth of the overflow (6), (level E figure 6), causing the drain pipe (8) to exit to the siphon of the toilet (10) avoiding possible flooding.

In this way the cistern (4) will be ready for its use.

When using the tank (4) through the handle (1), this opens the valve (7), emptying the tank (4), connecting the level detector (30), starting the pump from storage (36) until it is filled again through the mouth (24) the cistern (4) (level B figure 6), and is again ready for use.

In case of lack of gray water, because I don't know use the bidet or sink, level detectors (33 and 37) will be open and therefore the bombs (35 and 36) stopped, and to through the inlet valve (25) the water in the mains general supply will circulate through the calibrated step (26) slowly filling the tank (4) to level A, figure 6, closing the valve (3), ensuring at all times the contribution of water in the cistern (4).

Through the calibrated step (26) always it will have water circulation to the cistern (4), but as the pump flow rate (35 and 36) is high in relation to the flow rate input of the general supply network, provided that have stored gray water (13), it will fill quickly the cistern (4), avoiding using the water from the network supply, since the valve (3) will close the water passage Avoiding its consumption.

If you do not want to use water from the mains general supply, just close the stopcock (25).

In this case the toilet will only work when let's have gray water stored.

In case of system failure, it will be enough with disconnect the switch (38) in figure 5 so that all the system run on the water supply network general.

Level detectors (30, 31, 33 and 37) can be of any type existing in the market, and that they work by pressure, by electrical conductivity, by contacts magnetic with buoy, etc. and other parts such as valves (3 and 7), buoy (2), filter (29) are devices widely extended in the market.

In figure 1, the bidet siphon is shown (18), sink siphon (19), gray water outlet to the collector of fecal (21).

Figures 2 and 3 show the main body (40) together with the toilet body (12), exit holes of water (9), sewage drain (11).

Figure 4 shows the main body (40), where the control mechanisms are housed (15), the cistern (4), the warehouse warehouse (13), the collection systems (14), the water inlet of the general supply network (5), vent  from the collection tank (27), tank cover (28).

Figure 5 shows the electrical scheme of the system. A pilot signaling start-up (39).

Figure 6 shows the different water levels in the cistern (4).
