Environmental Protection Mobile Public Toilet for Tourism
The environmental protection mobile public toilet is a public sanitation facility designed with new materials and water-saving technologies, widely used and diverse in tourism scenarios.
Technical Features
- Water-saving and Efficient: By automatically collecting hand-washing water and adding special agents, it achieves a flushing effect with only 0.46 liters of water per person, significantly reducing water consumption.
- Durable Structure: The frame is welded with national standard steel, and the surface is covered with anti-corrosion and fire-resistant materials such as color-coated steel plates or carved panels, with a service life of over 20 years, suitable for long-term outdoor use.
- Comprehensive Functions: It is equipped with an independent toilet pit partition treatment system. The urine channel utilizes gravity flow, while the feces channel is cleaned by a piston-type scraper mechanical device. It also features non-slip floors, automatic flushing toilet bowls, and ventilation and lighting systems, complying with the GBLT18091-92 standard to ensure comfort and hygiene in use.
Application Forms in Tourism Scenarios
- Tidal Toilets: By setting up 'gender-neutral universal toilet stalls' and using movable signboards or lockable sliding doors, the usage permissions are dynamically adjusted according to real-time pedestrian traffic. For example, the 'Tidal Toilet' in Huizhou West Lake Scenic Area, Guangdong, covers an area of 238 square meters and is equipped with 2 accessible toilet stalls, 1 third toilet, 8 female toilet stalls, and 12 male toilet stalls (including 7 urinals). It also features an intelligent system, effectively alleviating the problem of women's difficulty in finding toilets in the scenic area and optimizing the tourist experience. Such toilets have also been trialed in some parks and scenic areas in Shenzhen, Dongguan, Hangzhou, Wuhan, and Chongqing.
- Apple Pod-shaped Toilets: The layout can be customized according to needs. For example, the apple pod-shaped toilet customized by Mr. Wang in Zhejiang has 8 independent squatting stalls, with rainproof facilities in front, public hand-washing basins placed, and sliding windows, balancing practicality and aesthetics.
Development History and Industry Status
Mobile toilets emerged during the third public toilet revolution (from the 1990s to the end of the 20th century) and have gradually developed since 2012, forming technical routes such as waterless flushing, foam sealing, and water flushing, covering细分品类 (sub-categories) such as antique-style, temporary construction site, and ship-mounted types, supporting vehicle-mounted and traditional public toilet renovations. The product forms have expanded to trailer-type, box-type substation cabinet-type, stainless steel kiosk-type, etc., with applications covering public places such as scenic areas, service areas, and rural areas. The industrial chain involves more than 20 production enterprises in Liaoning, Shanghai, Hebei, and other places, providing diversified solutions such as prefabricated and eco-friendly water-saving types.
