Mobile i-Toilet
A mobile toilet is a facility that can be moved as a whole and provides public toilet services. It is suitable for various places and has multiple classifications and characteristics.
Suitable Locations
Mobile 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 have temporary or periodic demands for toilets, or it is relatively difficult to build fixed public toilets. Mobile toilets can effectively make up for the shortcomings of insufficient public toilet supply and unreasonable layout. For example, in 2023, mobile toilets were gradually installed and put into use in the scenic area along the Yellow River in Lanzhou, meeting the toilet needs of tourists.
Composition Structure
Generally, it 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. These components work together to provide users with a complete toilet environment.
Development History and Materials
Initially, mobile toilets were made of materials such as wood, with simple structures and functions, and were prone to absorbing odors. Later, they gradually developed to use materials such as fiberglass-reinforced plastic and polyethylene, which have better durability and odor-proof properties.
Classification Methods
- By structural form: They can be divided into single-structure mobile toilets and composite-structure mobile toilets.
- By mobility method: They can be divided into lifting and handling mobile toilets, and powered and towed mobile toilets.
- By sewage treatment method: They are divided into water-flushing and waterless-flushing suction mobile toilets, circulating water-flushing mobile toilets, and dry-packing mobile toilets.
Characteristics and Advantages
They can be conveniently transported to any place where toilets need to be installed and can be used repeatedly. They have the advantages of mobility, combinability, and convenient transportation.
Design Principles
The design should follow the principles of mobility and convenience, economic durability, environmental protection and ecological friendliness, and improving efficiency and promoting humanity. The overall structure should be 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 considered, and the mobile device should be fully considered for completeness and rationality. In addition, some companies can also customize mobile toilets according to requirements to meet the personalized needs of different scenarios.
