Design of Mobile Toilets in Scenic Areas
The following plans can be referred to for designing mobile toilets in scenic areas:
Structural and Functional Design: Mobile toilets typically consist of fecal sewage storage tanks (or disposal units), floor slabs, sanitary ware, walls, washing facilities, water tanks, roofs, and mobile units. For example, they can be designed with 8 squatting positions, using a container structure overall. The exterior walls can be constructed using a combination of stone-like paint and long-panel boards. The central washing area can be equipped with double sinks, and the men's toilet can have 3 urinals and 4 partitioned squatting positions to meet the basic needs of tourists in scenic areas.
Style and Appearance: Different styles should be selected based on the characteristics of the scenic area. If the scenic area has a pastoral style, the roof of the mobile toilet can be designed with a ridge shape and covered with straw. A spacious rain-proof area can be set up in front, equipped with public sinks and beauty mirrors. The wall panels and doors should have a unified color to coordinate with the overall style of the scenic area. For modern-style scenic areas, warm-toned Apple Pod toilets can be used, featuring a dual-color exterior wall design and double doors for insulation, giving the toilet a sense of design and making it a unique attraction in the scenic area.
Material Selection: Initially, mobile toilets were mostly made of wood, but wood is prone to damage. Later, materials such as fiberglass and polyethylene were gradually adopted. When designing, lightweight and durable materials should be selected as much as possible to ensure the structural robustness of the toilet while facilitating mobility and installation.
Mobility and Sewage Treatment: Mobile toilets can be classified into lifting and handling types, as well as powered and towed types based on mobility. In terms of sewage treatment, they can be divided into water-flush and non-water-flush suction types, circulating water-flush types, and dry-packing types. When designing, full consideration should be given to the actual needs of the scenic area. For example, if the terrain of the scenic area is complex, powered and towed mobile toilets can be chosen. If the scenic area emphasizes environmental protection, a dry-packing sewage treatment method can be adopted to reduce environmental pollution.
Design Principles: The design should adhere to the principles of mobility and convenience, economic durability; environmental protection and ecological benefits; and enhancing efficiency and promoting humanity. The overall structure should be lightweight, with reasonable control of height and width. The mobile unit should be complete and reasonable, facilitating movement and installation in different locations. At the same time, the service life and environmental performance of the toilet should be guaranteed.
