DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mobile type which is suitable for hand washing in an area having no water supply and drainage facilities such as water supply and sewerage, and which can be freely moved to those areas. It is about a hand-washing machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the event of an earthquake or other disaster, it is appropriate to perform hand washing in order to prevent infectious diseases at evacuation sites and the like. Sewer facilities are destroyed and often unavailable. At present, in such cases, water trucks patrol and supply water by this, receive the water in suitable containers and use it for drinking, cooking, washing, etc. Nothing seems to be specially prepared.

[0003] Inpatients in hospitals, families visiting hospitals, etc., should also carry out hand washing as appropriate to prevent the transmission of pathogenic bacteria, but the hospital rooms are not always equipped with water facilities. In fact, it is not easy to perform hand washing. In some cases, water and wash basins are installed relatively close to the outside of the sickroom.In such a case, there is no inconvenience for hand washing for visitors, but it is difficult for hospitalized patients to move a little. May not be available in such a case.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention
In consideration of the above situation, it is possible to easily move to the required place in an area without water supply and sewerage facilities, and to pump out the water without using power and use it for hand washing. The problem to be solved is to provide a hand basin.

[0005]

According to the present invention, there is provided a main body case having a drain plate on a top plate and moving means on a lower surface side of a bottom portion, and a water tank portion arranged on the bottom of the main body case. A water tank that is at least vertically expandable and contractable, a pressurized weight disposed on the water tank, and a drain tank disposed on the pressurized weight, the upper part of which is the drain pan. And a water supply pipe having a lower end communicating with the lowermost part of the water tank part and an upper end serving as a faucet above the drainage tray. A water supply pipe having a water valve that can be opened and closed in the middle thereof, and a water supply pipe that communicates with the lowermost portion of the water tank section, and a water supply pipe that has a water valve that can be opened and closed in the middle thereof. , Communicating with the bottom of the drainage tank A discharge pipe having a middle part passing through the vicinity of the bottom of the main body case, and a discharge port at an outer end thereof being positioned above the top of the drainage tank when the water tank is full, so as to be positioned above the side of the main body case. And a discharge pipe which is detachably held on the handwasher.

Therefore, according to the portable hand washer of the present invention, the service water filled in the service water tank is discharged and supplied from the faucet of the service water supply pipe without using power when the service valve is opened, thereby performing hand washing. Can be performed.
Water dropped directly from the faucet of the water supply pipe, or water dropped by hand washing, flows down to the drainage dish, and further flows into the drainage tank from here. Thus, according to the mobile hand-washing device of the present invention, it is possible to supply water for hand-washing without using power in a place without water supply and sewerage, and to store and store the water after hand-washing in the drainage tank section. Things.

When the water tank is not filled with water, the water tank is crushed by the action of gravity of the pressurizing weight. In this state, if a hose or the like connected to a faucet such as water supply is connected to the water supply pipe and each of the supply valve and the water tap is opened, tap water will be supplied to the water tank section. . Since the water tank is configured to be able to expand and contract at least in the vertical direction, it is possible to introduce the water while expanding vertically, and to fill the water to the capacity of the maximum expansion state.
Of course, at this time, the tap water pressure must overcome the action of gravity due to the pressurized weight,
Naturally, the weight of the pressurizing weight is set so as to be pushed up by the water pressure.

When the service water tank is filled with tap water or the like as described above, it is needless to say that the water in the drain tank must be discharged and removed prior to this. At this time, the drainage tank is also configured so as to be able to expand and contract at least in the vertical direction, and thus is in a contracted state in the vertical direction.

After the water tank is filled with water as described above, the movable hand washer is moved to a necessary place by using the moving means. In the case of a hospital or the like, it is a hospital room or the like where a necessary patient is located. In the case of an evacuation site in an area affected by an earthquake or the like, the travel distance is long, and there may be cases where the means of transportation provided by this portable hand-washing device is not sufficient, but in such cases, The portable hand washer itself can be carried by a suitable vehicle or the like, and its own moving means can be used for short-distance movement from the place where it was carried.

After moving to the place where the water is used, the water can be discharged and supplied from the faucet of the water supply pipe only by opening the water valve as described above. The highest portion of the service water supply pipe is higher than the service water level of the service water tank portion when the pressurized weight is not provided, but the pressurized weight changes the water level in the initial state to the service water supply pipe. As described above, the water can be discharged and supplied from the faucet of the water supply pipe by pushing up to a height exceeding the highest part of the water supply pipe.

The water or the like discharged and supplied from the faucet and supplied for hand-washing falls into the drainage tray immediately below, and subsequently flows down to the drainage tank. The water thus used is received and stored in the drain tank. The weight of the wastewater accommodated in the drainage tank part is added to the water tank part via the pressurized weight, and the water level of the water tank is raised by the lower precipitation level of the water tank part lowered by the discharge supply. It becomes. That is, by receiving and storing the drainage in the drainage tank section, the weight by the weight of the water is added to the pressurized weight and added to the water tank, and thus the water is lowered by the discharge supply in the water tank section. It will raise the water level that should be done.

The drainage tank part increases the amount of drainage received by the use of the mobile hand-washing device, and since the drainage tank itself is at least vertically expandable and contractable, the bulk in the vertical direction at least gradually increases. On the other hand, the one-way water tank is also at least vertically expandable and contractible, and its use reduces the amount of stored water, and at least gradually reduces the vertical volume. That is, unless the water discharged from the faucet is moved to another place,
Since the increase in the drainage tank and the decrease in the water tank should match, the other one will shrink by the amount that one expands. It is possible to make the unit and the water tank unit more compact as compared with the case where the non-stretchable type having the maximum water volume is configured.

When the water in the water tank is exhausted by use, the portable hand-washing device is moved to a place where the water can be completely discharged, such as a sewer, and the discharge pipe is removed from the main body case. If the wastewater is directed to a sewer or the like, the wastewater in the wastewater tank can be discharged.

In the above invention, a branch pipe is connected in the middle of the water supply pipe, an antiseptic solution container is connected to the outer end of the branch pipe, and the connection of the branch pipe to the water supply pipe is made. In this case, a disinfectant solution can be mixed at the same time when the water is supplied to the water tank. Work is unnecessary and convenient.

The main body case may be provided with a viewing window for visually observing the vertical expansion and contraction state of the water tank. In such a case, when the water is supplied and used. This is convenient because the amount of water in the water tank can be easily known.

The water tank can be formed as a bellows-shaped water bag that can expand and contract in the vertical direction. In this case, the state of expansion and contraction of the water tank in the vertical direction according to the amount of water can be ensured. It can be secured.

The drainage tank can be formed as a bellows-shaped drainage bag which can expand and contract in the vertical direction. In this case, the state of expansion and contraction of the drainage tank in the vertical direction according to the amount of water is ensured. It can be secured.

The discharge pipe can be constituted by a bellows pipe. In such a case, the discharge pipe can freely expand and contract in the longitudinal direction, and is filled with the maximum amount of water in the water tank to have the highest height. When the drainage tank rises to the uppermost part and thereby the connection of the discharge pipe with the drainage tank rises to the uppermost part, the water in the water tank part is reduced to a minimum, Even when the drainage tank portion is lowered to the lowest height and the drainage tank portion is lowered to the lowermost portion, whereby the connection portion of the discharge pipe with the drainage tank portion is lowered to the lowermost portion, it is possible to easily expand and contract to cope with the case.

The supply valve 6a is drawn out to the outside through the through hole and started up. The supply valve 6a is configured to be openable and closable during the start up. The supply port 6b is covered with a lid that can be opened and closed. As shown in FIG. 2, a branch pipe 6 is provided immediately below the supply port 6b of the water supply pipe 6.
c, the disinfectant solution container 6d is connected to the rising outer end of the branch pipe 6c, and a mixing stopper 6e is formed at a position close to the junction of the branch pipe 6c and the water supply pipe 6. Needless to say, the disinfecting solution container 6d has a lid that can be opened and closed.

The pressurizing weight 3 is made of a plate-like member corresponding to the shape of the upper surface of the water tank 2 and is filled with the maximum volume of water (ie, when the water tank 2 is filled with water). (When no water is contained in the drainage tank portion 4), the water in the water tank portion 2 is determined to have such a weight that it can be pressurized enough to discharge and supply the water from the faucet portion 5a of the water supply pipe 5. There is something.

The drainage tank portion 4 is a quadrangular shape viewed from a plane corresponding to the internal shape of the main body case 1 and is formed in a bellows-like bag body that can expand and contract in the vertical direction, as shown in FIG. A drain introduction pipe 4a which is set up at a drain port 1f of the drain tray 1b from a corresponding portion above the drain tank portion 4.

As shown in FIG. 1, one end of the discharge pipe 7 communicates with the lowermost side of the drainage tank section 4.
It is hung down along the side plate of the main body case 1 as it is, passed through a through hole opened in the side plate at the lowermost part, and pulled out to the outside. A pair of holding pieces 7b, 7b formed on the upper side plate of the main body case 1 detachably hold and hold. The discharge pipe 7, as shown in FIG. 1, is constituted by a bellows pipe which can be freely extended and contracted.

Therefore, according to the mobile hand-washing device of this embodiment, since the casters 1c, 1c... Are free to move, they can be freely moved to an area used for hand-washing. The service water filled in the service water tank unit 2 can be supplied to the service water supply pipe 5 without using power by opening the service valve 5b.
Is supplied from the faucet 5a, so that hand washing can be performed. Also, a faucet portion 5a of the water supply pipe 5
The water that has fallen directly from, or dropped through hand washing, flows down to the
f and into the drainage tank section 4 through the drainage introduction pipe 4a. Thus, according to the mobile hand-washing device of this embodiment, the water for hand washing can be supplied without using power, and the water after hand washing can be stored in the drainage tank unit 4.

When the water tank 2 is not filled with the water, the water tank 2 is crushed by the action of the gravity of the pressurizing weight 3, and in this state, the water supply pipe 6 is supplied. If a hose or the like connected to a faucet such as a tap is connected to the port 6b, and the supply valve 6a and the tap for the tap are opened, tap water is supplied to the water tank unit 2. Since the water tank 2 is configured to be vertically expandable and contractible, it can be gradually expanded and filled with water until it reaches the maximum expanded capacity. Of course, at this time, the pressure of the tap water must overcome the action of gravity by the pressurizing weight 3,
The weight of the pressure weight 3 is set so as to be pushed up by the water pressure.

As described above, in this example, the water supply pipe 6 is connected to a branch pipe 6c having an antiseptic solution container 6d connected to the outer end thereof, and the branch pipe 6c is connected to the mixing tap 6e.
As described above, when the service water is supplied to the service water tank section 2 as described above, if the mixing tap 6e is adjusted to an appropriate open state, an appropriate amount of the disinfecting solution can be simultaneously added to the service water. Mixing can be performed. Prior to this, it goes without saying that the disinfecting solution container 6d should be filled with a disinfecting solution.

At this time, whether or not the water tank 2 is filled with the maximum volume of water can be known by looking through the inside of the viewing window 1d. It can be understood that the water is full when the water tank unit 2 is extended to the maximum height. At this stage, the supply valve 6a and the tap of the water supply are closed, and the hose and the like are removed.

When the water tank 2 is filled with tap water or the like as described above, it is needless to say that the water in the drain tank 4 should be discharged and removed prior to the filling. At this time, the drainage tank portion 4 is also configured to be able to expand and contract in the up-down direction, and thus is in a contracted state in the up-down direction.

As described above, after the water tank 2 is filled with water, the movable hand washer is moved to its casters 1c, 1c.
Use c ... to move to the required location. In the case of a hospital or the like, the patient moves to a hospital room or the like where a necessary patient is located.

After moving to a place where the use is performed, such as a hospital room, the water supply valve 5b is merely opened and the water containing the disinfectant is discharged and supplied from the faucet 5a of the water supply pipe 5 as described above. Can be done. Although the highest part of the water supply pipe 5 is higher than the water level of the water tank part 2 when not pressurized, the water level in the initial state is adjusted by the pressurized weight 3 to the highest level of the water supply pipe 5. By pushing up to a height exceeding the high part, the water can be discharged and supplied from the faucet 5a of the water supply pipe 5 as described above.

The water discharged from the faucet 5a and supplied for hand washing flows down to the drain plate 1b immediately below, and subsequently flows down to the drain tank unit 4 through the drain port 1f and the drain introduction pipe 4a. The water used in this way is received and stored in the drain tank 4.
The weight of the wastewater stored in the drainage tank unit 4 is added to the water tank unit 2 in addition to the weight of the pressurized weight 3, and is reduced by a water level which is lowered by the discharge supply.
It will raise the water level of the irrigation water. That is,
In the water tank 2, the water level that is supposed to be lowered by the discharge supply is pushed up by the weight of the drainage flowing into the drain tank 4, thereby enabling the continuous supply of the water.

The drainage tank portion 4 receives and increases drainage by using the water, and gradually increases the bulk in the vertical direction. On the other hand, the water tank portion 2 is also expandable and contractible in the vertical direction. As a result, the amount of stored water is reduced by that amount, and the volume in the vertical direction is gradually reduced. Therefore, the main body case 1 includes the drainage tank portion 4 and the water tank portion 2 as a non-stretchable type having the maximum capacity. Compared to the case of the configuration, it can be made compact and the handling is easy.

When the water in the water tank 2 is lost due to the above-mentioned use, the movable hand washer is moved to a place where the water can be completely discharged, such as a sewer, and the discharge port of the discharge pipe 7 is discharged. 7a is a holding piece 7b, 7b on the upper side plate of the main body 1.
, And the discharge port 7a is set to the sewer or the like, so that the drainage in the drainage tank 4 can be discharged.

After the water tank is filled with water, the portable hand washer can be moved to a required place by using the moving means. If the travel distance is long and the means of transport provided by the hand-washing device is not sufficient, the hand-held hand washing device itself is carried by other suitable means of transport, and is moved to a short distance from the place where it was carried. You can use your own means of transportation.

After moving to the place where the water is used, the water can be discharged and supplied from the faucet of the water supply pipe only by opening the water valve as described above. The highest part of the water supply pipe is higher than the water level of the non-pressurized water tank part, but due to the weight of the pressurized weight, the water level in the initial state is changed to the highest part of the water supply pipe. As described above, the water can be discharged and supplied from the faucet of the water supply pipe.

The water discharged from the faucet and supplied for hand-washing falls into a drainage tray immediately below, and subsequently flows down to a drainage tank, and the used water is received and stored in the drainage tank. Become. The weight of the wastewater stored in the drainage tank is added to the water tank via the pressurized weight, and is pushed up by the water level of the water tank lowered by the discharge and supply. That is, by receiving and storing the wastewater in the drainage tank section, the weight is added to the pressurized weight by the weight of the water and added to the water tank, thus descending by discharge supply in the water tank section. The expected water level is raised to enable continuous supply and discharge of water.

The drainage tank part increases the amount of drainage received by the use of the mobile hand-washing device, and is itself at least vertically expandable and contractable, so that the bulk in the vertical direction at least gradually increases. On the other hand, the water tank is also at least vertically expandable and contractible, and its use reduces the amount of stored water by that amount, and gradually reduces at least the bulk in the vertical direction. That is,
Unless the water discharged from the faucet is moved to another location, the increased amount in the drainage tank and the decreased amount in the water tank should match, so that one should be reduced by the amount that one expanded. The body case that contains these
The drainage tank section and the water tank section can be made compact as compared with the case where the maximum capacity non-stretch type is configured.

When the water in the water tank is lost due to use, the movable hand-washing device is moved to a place where the water can be completely discharged, such as a sewer, and the discharge pipe is removed from the main body case. Only to the sewer, etc.
The drainage in the drainage tank can be discharged.
