Mobile Public Toilet
A mobile public toilet is a facility that can be moved as a whole and set up at fixed or temporary locations to provide public toilet services.
Composition Structure
It generally consists of a fecal sewage storage tank (or fecal sewage treatment device), floor slab, sanitary ware, walls, washing equipment, water tank, roof, and mobile device. Initially made of materials like wood, it had a simple structure and function and was prone to absorbing odors. Later, it gradually evolved to use materials such as fiberglass-reinforced plastic and polyethylene.
Classification Methods
- By structural form: It is divided into single-structure mobile toilets and composite-structure mobile toilets. Single-structure toilets are relatively independent and simple, while composite-structure toilets may be more complex and diverse in terms of function or spatial combination.
- By moving method: There are lifting and handling-type mobile toilets, which rely on lifting equipment or manual handling for movement; and powered and towed-type mobile toilets, which use powered devices or vehicle towing for movement.
- By sewage treatment method: It includes water-flushing and waterless suction-type mobile toilets. Water-flushing toilets are similar to traditional toilets, using water for flushing, while waterless suction-type toilets handle feces through suction. Recirculating water-flushing mobile toilets recycle the flushing water. Dry-packing mobile toilets pack the feces for treatment without the need for water flushing.
Characteristics and Advantages
It has the advantages of being movable, combinable, and easy to transport. It can be conveniently transported to any location where a toilet needs to be set up and can be used repeatedly. Not restricted by fixed buildings, it can be flexibly deployed according to the density of people and the location of events. Whether in urban business districts, large exhibitions, or remote outdoor scenic spots, it can be quickly deployed to promptly meet people's toilet needs.
Application Venues
It is suitable for stations, docks, tourist attractions, villa areas, newly built residential areas, large construction sites, squares, densely populated public places, and bustling commercial streets. It originated from people's temporary and periodic needs for toilets in specific situations. The government sets them up in areas where it is relatively difficult to build fixed public toilets to make up for the insufficient supply and unreasonable layout of public toilets. In addition, there are also compact and intelligent eco-friendly mobile public toilets with complete configurations such as an internal feces collection system, washbasin, smart mirror, and breathing lights. They are made as a whole in the factory and can be used immediately after purchase.
Design Principles
It should follow the principles of being mobile and convenient, economical and durable; eco-friendly and beneficial to the environment; improving efficiency and promoting humanity. The overall structure should be considered lightweight, using lightweight and durable materials as much as possible. The structure should be sturdy. When designing, the height and width of the toilet should also be controlled, and the mobile device should be fully considered for completeness and rationality.
