Real Portable Toilet
A real 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.
Definition and Composition
A real portable toilet (Portable toilet) refers to a facility that can be moved in its entirety and is set up at locations with fixed or temporary needs to provide toilet services to the public and clients. 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 moving device, etc.
Development History
Initially, portable toilets were made of materials such as wood, with simple structures and functions, and were prone to absorbing odors. Later, they gradually evolved to use materials like fiberglass-reinforced plastic and polyethylene, with improved performance.
Classification Methods
- By structural form: They can be divided into single-structure portable toilets and composite-structure portable toilets. Single-structure ones are relatively independent and simple, while composite-structure ones are more complex and may integrate multiple functional areas.
- By moving method: They are classified into lifting and handling portable toilets, and powered and towed portable toilets. Lifting and handling types are suitable for short-distance moving or scenarios where simple tools are used for moving; powered and towed types can achieve longer-distance moving with the help of vehicle power sources.
- By sewage treatment method: They are divided into water-flush and non-water-flush suction portable toilets, circulating water-flush portable toilets, and dry-packing portable toilets. Water-flush and non-water-flush suction types can handle sewage in a timely manner; circulating water-flush types can save water resources; dry-packing types do not require water and handle feces through packing.
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 being movable, combinable, and easy to transport.
Suitable Places
They are suitable for stations, docks, tourist attractions, villa areas, newly built residential areas, large construction sites, squares, densely populated public places, and bustling commercial streets, etc.
Design Principles
The design should follow the principles of being easy to move, economically durable; environmentally 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, and the height and width of the toilet should be controlled. The moving device should be fully considered for completeness and rationality.
Price Situation
The prices of portable toilets vary greatly depending on their types, specifications, and materials, ranging from tens of yuan to tens of thousands of yuan.
