Hidden Mobile Toilet
Hidden mobile toilets are toilet types that have concealed storage functions and are movable. Common types include vehicle-mounted hidden commodes, concealed electric folding commodes, and barrier-free mobile toilets.
Vehicle-mounted hidden commodes: These are commonly found in the automotive field. Taking Seres Automobile Co., Ltd.'s utility model patent for a 'vehicle-mounted commode and vehicle' as an example. It achieves complete concealed storage through a slide rail assembly and is typically installed under car seats. When in use, it can be pulled out from under the seat to form a complete commode structure. To facilitate use and maintain hygiene, disposable commode bags are provided. After use, the bag is retracted, and the commode is returned to its position under the seat, making it difficult to detect from the outside. This not only saves space in the vehicle but also meets the need for using the toilet while driving.
Concealed electric folding commodes: These are powered by electricity and consist of a commode bowl, a cabinet, and an electric folding mechanism. The rear part of the commode bowl is equipped with a connecting frame and a seat ring, and the rotating shaft is fitted with a seat ring rotation motor to enable seat ring rotation. The front part of the cabinet has a commode bowl folding concealed opening, and a worm gear and worm commode bowl folding mechanism is installed inside to precisely control the folding of the commode bowl. The corresponding position inside the cabinet is equipped with an inner shell, and the rear side has disinfection and fragrance addition ports, along with a fragrance addition box and an ozone generator. This type of commode can conceal the commode bowl inside the cabinet through an electric folding structure, offering the advantage of taking up little space. At the same time, its electric operation method is convenient to use, and the disinfection and fragrance addition functions can improve the environment of the bathroom and reduce odors and bacterial growth.
Barrier-free mobile toilets: These fall under the category of public facilities and are mainly designed to provide convenience for people with special needs, such as the disabled, the elderly, women, and children. They are usually equipped with specialized barrier-free facilities, such as doors that are easy to open for wheelchair users and those who need assistance, with an easy-to-operate opening mechanism; dedicated sanitary ware and safety handrails配套 (should be translated as 'matching' in proper context, here it means 'accompanying') the sanitary ware to help users get up and maintain balance. During design and construction, relevant norms and standards are followed to ensure they meet barrier-free usage requirements. For example, the toilet door should be easy to open, and the positions of the door and the commode should be reasonable to facilitate wheelchair users' entry and use. There should also be enough space for wheelchair users to turn around and leave freely.
