Car Converted Portable Toilet
There are relevant cases of cars being converted into portable toilets, with Seres and Jishi Automobile both having launched related designs or accessories.
Seres holds a utility model patent for a 'vehicle-mounted toilet and vehicle,' which was approved by the National Intellectual Property Administration on April 10. Its design boasts numerous highlights. It adopts a sliding rail design, which is quite ingenious. Normally, the toilet can be hidden beneath the driver's and passenger's seats, not occupying precious space inside the car and ensuring comfort and convenience for daily use. When there is a need for use, it can be pulled out with a single button press, making the operation simple and convenient. In terms of functional configurations, it is equipped with a 5L sealed waste collection tank that can effectively collect waste and prevent odor from spreading. The negative pressure deodorization system can further eliminate odors, keeping the air inside the car fresh. The constant temperature heating function enhances comfort, especially in cold environments. Disposable waste bags facilitate easy replacement and disposal of waste, while the foldable privacy curtain provides users with a private space, safeguarding their privacy.
Jishi Automobile has launched a vehicle-mounted toilet accessory with a unique placement position—in the central storage compartment. Its usage method is relatively simple; one just needs to lift the lid and place a toilet seat cover to use it. However, Jishi Automobile's vehicle-mounted toilet accessory falls into the category of emergency accessories, which means it may be more suitable for use in emergency situations. For example, during long-distance travels when unexpected situations arise and public toilets cannot be found in a timely manner, it can serve as a temporary solution to meet basic excretion needs. However, in terms of functional completeness and comfort, it may not be as good as Seres' patented design.
Overall, there has been a certain degree of technological exploration and practice in converting cars into portable toilets. Different designs have their own characteristics, providing various solutions to the toilet problem for people during car travels.
