Public Portable Toilet
A public portable toilet is a facility that can be moved as a whole and provides toilet services to the public. It is suitable for various places and has multiple types and features.
Suitable Places
Public portable toilets are suitable for stations, docks, tourist attractions, villa areas, newly built residential communities, large construction sites, squares, densely populated public places, and bustling commercial streets. These places often face difficulties in building fixed public toilets, have a large flow of people, and have temporary or periodic toilet needs. Portable toilets can effectively meet these needs. For example, at large construction sites, where there are many workers with high mobility, portable toilets can be flexibly adjusted according to the construction progress. At tourist attractions, during holidays, the number of tourists surges, and portable toilets can quickly increase the number of toilet facilities to relieve the pressure on tourists' toilet use.
Composition Structure
Generally, they consist of fecal sewage storage tanks (or fecal sewage treatment devices), floor slabs, sanitary ware, walls, washing equipment, water tanks, roofs, and mobile devices. The specific composition may vary for different types and uses of portable toilets. For example, some intelligent and environmentally friendly portable public toilets, in addition to the basic components, also integrate intelligent mirrors, breathing lights, and other configurations, enhancing the user experience.
Materials and Classifications
In terms of materials, they were initially made of wood, with a simple structure and function, and were prone to absorbing odors. Later, they gradually developed to use materials such as fiberglass and polyethylene. According to the structural form, they can be divided into single-structure portable toilets and composite-structure portable toilets. According to the moving method, they can be divided into hoisting and handling portable toilets, powered and towed portable toilets. According to the sewage treatment method, they can be divided into water-flushing and non-water-flushing suction portable toilets, circulating water-flushing portable toilets, and dry-packing portable toilets.
Features and Advantages
They can be conveniently transported to any place where toilets need to be set up and can be used repeatedly. They have the advantages of portability, combinability, and convenient transportation. They originated from people's temporary and periodic needs for toilets in specific occasions. The government sets them up in areas where it is relatively difficult to build fixed public toilets to make up for the shortage of public toilet supply and unreasonable layout.
Design Principles
The design of portable toilets should follow the principles of portability, cost-effectiveness, and durability; environmental protection, ecology, and environmental friendliness; improving efficiency, and promoting humanity. The overall structure should be considered light, 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.
