Abstract

The module (1) has wall parts (2) that are connected with each other and locked with a ceiling component. The wall parts have an adjustable and handicapped-accessible fitting and a rectangular base. The wall parts are fixed on a base plate (4) that is designed as a base element. The base plate is designed as a self load bearing element and has an edge portion that is circularly directed to an assembly space (8). A gap is provided between the assembly space and the base plate, for accommodating dehydrating elements and sound/heat insulating units.

Description

The The present invention relates to a sanitary or WC module, especially for vehicles, essentially of each other connected wall parts constructed and closed with a ceiling element and needs-based, customizable and accessible facilities and having a nearly rectangular basic shape.

in principle It has long been known in the art, sanitary or Manufacture toilet areas in modular design.

So after the EP 0 590 097 B1 a WC module is made known in which an upright wall element is formed as enclosure, which has a molded-in WC bowl in a lower portion.

That this solution only for very limited and predetermined Areas of application can be used should also be obvious like the fact that in particular required hygienic boundary conditions not be met.

These disadvantages are with the solution according to the DE 199 13 318 A1 eliminated in that the toilet compartment formed by the longitudinal and transverse walls for the disabled all have the functional elements that characterize such a modern device, especially if it is intended for rail vehicles.

Indeed is the structure of this toilet compartment in the rail vehicle usually very complicated, because the longitudinal and transverse walls with the floor and / or the undercarriage of the rail vehicle need to be connected, something under practical conditions only to be realized if this area, in most Cases into the base area, elaborate was prepared.

This solution tries the solution after the EP 0 360 585 B1 to bypass this by a prefabricated, self-supporting, bottomless Schlafabteileinheit transported with their toilet module through an opening in the rail vehicle and placed either in place or moved in the vehicle to this point. It is intended to fix this module on the floor of the vehicle, which is fixed on the base.

That Such solutions are not proven in practice have, is known to professionals. In particular, the bottomless structure This module is the cause of an extreme high expenditure in terms of the tightness of the module to the vehicle floor group, usually without long-term success, must be operated. In addition, however, may not be disregarded be that attachment of such mostly very heavy modules on the floor of the vehicle a plane surface as level as possible and either forcibly given and / or in addition created mounting options in the floor and / or undercarriage area of the rail vehicle require what often difficult to realize. All the above known However, solutions together have the decisive disadvantages that they are vehicle-specific through their earmarked and necessary manner Conception space bound and only within a predetermined concrete vehicle concept can be used, toilet module controls - for example in the context of vehicle modernization modules with almost congruent surface outlines and mounting options require and that they have the advantages of a modular design only rudimentary realize.

Vordiesem Background of the invention is the object of a sanitary or WC module, especially for vehicles available to provide, despite complete, functional and handicapped facilities no extra Installation conditions, in particular with regard to mounting options in the erection and / or underframe area, requires which - under Consideration of customer requirements - is variable in its base outlines as well as in terms of its Mounting options and its use not only should be limited to vehicles.

Of the The present invention is based on the technical teaching that you have a high variability in a sanitary or toilet module with regard to the possibilities of use and the surface design, at relatively low demands on the installation conditions and Substantially improved exchange options with the same or have changed base area outlines Modules achieved if its wall parts on and / or on as a base element formed bottom plate are fixed.

It It has been shown that then in particular clearly low requirements be placed on the flatness of the footprint can if the bottom plate reinforced with one trained, preferably peripheral edge part - and thus as a self-supporting element - trained is such that it hat-shaped on the footprint is determinable.

This may show disturbing unevenness of the footprint almost exclusively in this edge region, but which additionally with pads that formed almost punctiform and at are arranged to the footprint directed edge portion of the bottom plate and in addition have high levels of sound insulation, is met. It is understood in this context that a slight leveling of the bottom plate on the footprint is possible by these relatively few support points and also softer decoupling elements which are arranged between the supports, and thus between the footprint and the edge portion of the bottom plate, also very good results are achieved.

To a further advantageous variant of the invention Sanitary or toilet module has the increasingly trained Border portion of the bottom plate recesses for fasteners. On the one hand, in a simple and advantageous way, the sanitary or toilet module can be fixed on the footprint, for example, with screws, which with sliding blocks in operative connection stand if the sanitary or toilet module in rail vehicles on the other hand, the and / or attached wall parts easily fixed on or on the bottom plate become. In this context, however, it can also be seen that thus the respective formation of the Grundflächenumrisses the bottom plate the Base area outline of the respective sanitary or toilet module certainly.

there The floor element can basically consist of one or more be constructed of suitable materials. According to a preferred variant the sanitary or toilet module according to the invention the bottom element is designed as a one-piece fiberglass element, which has an integrated support system. Especially cheap Stability conditions are achieved if at least one circumferential hollow section in the reinforced Edge part of the bottom element is embedded. Furthermore are due to the integral nature of the floor element leakage problems the module safely eliminated, being - under in Kaufnahme the possible loss of this advantage - of course Also, a multi-part design of the bottom element, with a connecting the individual parts, for example, in place, is conceivable.

at further advantageous variants of the invention Sanitary or toilet module is provided, the between footprint and bottom plate existing space for receiving drainage elements and / or of sound or heat insulation elements and / or to design a floor heating suitable. This can do that Sanitary or toilet module, in particular with very high heat and / or noise barrier properties and could even, by introducing a floor heating, very high comfort standards correspond.

Around in particular wet cleaning of the invention Sanitary or toilet module easily and with little effort to be able to perform is preferably provided the tread of the bottom plate to a drainage spout form inclined so that the cleaning fluid over derived the aforementioned drainage elements can be.

Especially favorable spatial conditions, in particular Furnishing conditions arise the preferred variant of the invention Sanitary or toilet module, in which its access area circular arc is formed and receives a sliding door. Here you can especially those required for disabled wheelchair users Space and space requirements as well as equipment, as at least a handicapped accessible Toilet and arranged in this area handle and support elements, a washing facility, mirrors, paper and soap dispensers, extremely be created or offered advantageous. It should be in this At least it should be mentioned that it is natural is also possible, the access area even or almost flat, so just to train. But it has shown that in this case not always the optimal conditions described above, in particular under the aspect of a disabled sanitary or toilet module, can be realized, and preferably when the sanitary or toilet module in rail vehicles for use is provided, since there the given and thus the available standing footprint is usually very limited.

In further advantageous variants of the sanitary or toilet module according to the invention, it is provided that the piping and connection lines and elements required for such a module are preferably concealed in order to achieve an optimum overall visual impression, and the piping and connection lines in the region of Wall parts, and / or the bottom plate and / or the ceiling area with coupling elements for the external supply or discharge supply and disposal lines, such as cold and hot water, electricity or sewage provide. In particular, this arrangement of the coupling elements in these outer edge regions ensures that the sanitary or toilet module according to the invention does not necessarily have to be built in place, but as a self-supporting, independently movable assembly finished and at the desired installation location, for example within a rail vehicle, can be brought. In this case, the sanitary or toilet module through an opening of the vehicle, preferably an opening in the roof, transported in this and positioned at the designated location and set become. Here then the corresponding supply and disposal lines can be connected immediately.

Around in particular limited in rail vehicles space to correspond optimally, is preferably provided, the inventive Sanitary or toilet module on a vehicle wall, on the other leaving a side passage free to dispose. This is in particular a very good accessibility to the access area of the module makes it possible for people with special disabilities comes.

The easy access to important functional groups and / or parts of the sanitary or toilet module create, after a further advantageous variant of the invention Solution, lockable maintenance openings, which preferably in the externally accessible ceiling area are arranged, but also - according decorative adapted - in the interior of the module, for example, behind the toilet, could find.

Farther is it from the point of view of optimal and more diverse Uses of the invention Sanitary or toilet module very beneficial, if it from the outside, in the specific case from above, completed by means of a roof element becomes. This is especially important when setting up the sanitary or toilet module according to the invention outdoors, for example in public parks or on public roads Places, is provided. This roof element protects on the one hand against penetrating moisture and stabilizes the sanitary or WC module in addition.

The The present invention further relates to a vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, with an inventive Sanitary or toilet module.

Further preferred embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims or the following description of a preferred embodiment, which refers to the accompanying drawings.

It demonstrate:

1 - A schematic representation of a preferred embodiment of the sanitary or toilet module according to the invention, in a perspective view

2 - A schematic representation of a preferred embodiment of the sanitary or toilet module according to the invention, in plan view

3 - A schematic representation of a preferred embodiment of the sanitary or toilet module according to the invention, in side view

4 - A section A-A after 2

1 shows a schematic representation of a preferred embodiment of the sanitary or toilet module according to the invention 1 in perspective view, with a roof element attached from above 25 ,

It can be clearly seen that the sanitary or toilet module 1 can be provided as a separate assembly on a hoof surface 8th is determined and is suitable for use both in confined spaces, such as in a rail vehicle, as well as for outdoor installation. In particular, the roof element plays 25 an important role, but it is the sanitary or toilet module 1 Insensitive especially to external weather conditions.

It is understood in this context that the sanitary or toilet module 1 Of course, it can also be built on the spot.

It is in the 1 also shown that the wall parts 2 on the floor plate 4 trained basic element are set, but they could also on the bottom plate 4 be attached, in particular, this topic the 4 shows what will be discussed in more detail later.

The spacious and handicapped accessible trained circular and barrier-free access area 13 is the sliding door 14 assigned so that wheelchair users a very easy access of this area and thus to the sanitary or toilet module according to the invention 1 is possible.

The generous amount of space and the functional features of the sanitary or toilet module according to the invention 1 is in the 2 recognizable, the equipment can be changed and adjusted according to customer requirements.

This is clearly the base area outline of the sanitary or toilet module 1 determining and designed here as a one-piece fiberglass element base plate 4 to recognize. The reinforced edge section 5 the bottom plate 4 - better in 4 to recognize - is about high sound insulation levels editions 11 and interposed decoupling elements 12 hat-shaped on the footprint 8th established.

The tread 9 the bottom plate 4 is to the drainage outlet 10 formed inclined, which in particular wet cleaning of sanitary or WC module 1 can be performed easily. Again, in this figure, the very wide, by means of the sliding door 14 here closed access area 13 shown.

The functionally suitable equipment of the sanitary or toilet module according to the invention 1 is characterized in particular by the handicapped accessible toilet 15 , at least in the toilet area existing, folding or swivel trainable handle and support elements 16 , a washing facility 17 with assigned paper and soap dispenser 19 and a mirror 18 , It goes without saying that the available space offers optimal possibilities of movement even wheelchair users and makes changes in terms of equipment, according to customer requirements, relatively easy.

For maintenance and / or repair work, but also possibly for initial commissioning and thus the joining of the usually concealed piping 21 and connecting cables 22 of the sanitary or toilet module 1 with appropriately supplied or discharged external supply and disposal lines, such as cold and hot water or electricity, are lockable maintenance openings 20 everywhere, as in the wall parts 2 and / in the ceiling area 24 , where accessibility is desirable or required for the reasons previously mentioned.

In an advantageous variant of the sanitary or toilet module according to the invention 1 with particularly favorable connection possibilities of the external supply and disposal lines with the piping 21 and connecting cables 22 can be provided, this in the field of wall parts 2 , and / or the bottom plate 4 and / or the ceiling area 24 with coupling elements 23 train. In particular, in this case, a very fast start-up of the entire functional system of the sanitary or toilet module 1 allows.

In 3 is still clearly recognizable that the bottom plate 4 by means of her reinforced edge part 5 hat-shaped on the footprint 8th stands up in such a way that within the peripheral edge part 5 and thus below the bottom plate 4 a gap 7 arises, which is designed to accommodate drainage elements and / or sound or heat insulation elements and / or a floor heating suitable. As a result, both very good insulation and insulation values can be achieved and - if desired - high comfort requirements can be met.

The reinforced edge section 5 the bottom plate 4 and the space previously described 7 are just as clear in the 4 to recognize, as the high sound insulation values, almost point-shaped pads 11 , which at the to the footprint 8th directed edge part 5 the bottom plate 4 are arranged. Possible disturbing unevenness of the installation surface 8th consequently act exclusively in the area of this edge part 5 the bottom plate 4 and can be within the effective range of the requirements 11 be compensated relatively easily.

In the present case, the wall parts 2 on the reinforced trained edge section 5 the bottom plate 4 placed. Suitable fasteners 3 , which corresponding recesses in the edge part 5 are assigned allow a required setting of the wall parts 2 on the edge 5 and optionally a required setting of the bottom plate 4 , and thus the entire sanitary or toilet module according to the invention 1 , on the footprint 8th , That for the latter several possibilities, for example, with anchor elements operatively connected screws when used outdoors or with sliding blocks in operative connection screws when used in rail vehicles, is understood in this context and requires no detailed explanation. In any case, however, it is achieved that no wall part 2 in some way with the hoof surface 8th directly connected.

Shown and thus recognizable is that here the bottom plate 4 one in the reinforced edge section 5 embedded circumferential hollow profile 6 which makes the bottom plate 4 has an integrated support system and which contributes significantly to the fact that it is designed as a self-supporting element.

As the sanitary or toilet module according to the invention 1 is designed as a self-supporting, independently movable assembly, it can be spent as a finished module, for example, through a closable opening in a rail vehicle, there on a vehicle side wall, forming a side corridor, placed or in a public square, for example in a park area.

It It is understood that the fundamental idea of the invention not to those shown in this embodiment Details is bound.
