Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for operating a sanitary device, wherein in the method a rinsing liquid, in particular water, is passed through a line system of the sanitary device.
  • sanitary facilities which are used in vehicles such as rail vehicles
  • the flushing fluid consumption per flushing operation is therefore reduced to a minimum in previous sanitary facilities.
  • a flush volume of approximately 400 to 500 ml per flush is used.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a method for operating a sanitary device, which ensures a reliable and low-maintenance operation of the sanitary device.
  • the liquid consumption of at least one sanitary component of the sanitary device is controlled as a function of or at least depending on the liquid consumption in the past.
  • a significant advantage of the method according to the invention is that the liquid consumption - in contrast to previously known methods - per flushing process is not fixed and the total consumption of the rinsing liquid is not determined solely by the number of rinses, but is controlled consumption-dependent.
  • the consumption-dependent control of the liquid consumption makes it possible, for example, to increase the consumption and to purge the rinsing water lines and / or sanitary components of the sanitary device in a targeted manner in order to prevent the formation of encrustations due to dehydration and congestion of lines and / or blockage of valves and the like, especially in the area of sewers downstream of the plumbing components, to avoid.
  • Another significant advantage of the method according to the invention is that, taking into account the flushing water consumption in the past, an adapted control of the flushing in the future can be achieved: For example, rinsing liquid can end up at a planned
  • the rinsing amount can be reduced if the consumption in the past was already too high.
  • an automatic, independent of an actual use of the sanitary component is triggered special purging, if the sanitary component has remained unused for a predetermined pause time.
  • Flushing process is increased when the sanitary component has been left unused for a given pause time.
  • the sanitary component is arranged in a separate sanitary area, it is advantageous if a special rinse, surprising for a person using the sanitary area, is omitted if a sensor indicates the presence of one or more persons in the separate sanitary area. If the sanitary component is arranged in a separate sanitary area which can be closed by a door, then it is advantageous if a sensor monitors a locking of a door closing the separate sanitary area and a special rinsing is omitted if the door is locked. If, for example, the sanitary component is defective and, for this reason, the sanitary area is closed, the suppression of the special rinse can prevent undesired flooding of the sanitary area.
  • a special rinse does not occur if the consumption of rinsing liquid has reached or already exceeded a time-dependent maximum consumption value since the previous refilling of the sanitary device, the time-dependent maximum consumption value being such that the remaining amount of rinsing liquid remains remaining service life - up to a planned or planned refilling with rinsing liquid - will presumably be sufficient according to a given forecasting method.
  • the amount of flushing water per user-side initiated flushing process is preferably increased when the flushing water consumption of the sanitary component - based on a predetermined reference time duration - has fallen below a predetermined target consumption.
  • the reference time duration is a fixed predetermined time duration (of, for example, one hour) before the respective current time.
  • the reference period of time may be a variable period of time, which extends from the time of the last filling of the sanitary device with rinsing liquid up to the respective current time.
  • the rinse water consumption is detected after the last refilling of the sanitary device and / or the still available Spülillonkeitsmenge and is checked regularly or irregularly during operation, whether the still available Spüliganmenge special rinses and / or an increase in the flushing water consumption with a view to operation of the sanitary device to the planned refilling of the sanitary device allowed.
  • special rinses and / or an increase of the rinse water consumption are released, if so, and otherwise blocked.
  • the rinsing water consumption after the last refilling of the sanitary device and / or the still available Spülillonkeitsmenge is detected and the amount of liquid per user-side actuation of the sanitary device is dynamically adapted to each still available Spüliganmenge ,
  • the amount of liquid per user-side actuation of the sanitary device is reduced when the remaining amount of flushing water is too low, and increases when the still available Spüliganmenge is sufficiently large.
  • a forecast value can be created which predicts the further possible service life of the sanitary device;
  • a prognosis value can be forwarded to a central control device, for example to a central vehicle control device in the case of a sanitary device in a vehicle or to a central train control device in the case of a sanitary device in a rail vehicle.
  • the sanitary device is preferably operated in a vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle.
  • the invention also relates to a sanitary device with at least one sanitary component.
  • the sanitary device has a control device which is designed such that it controls the liquid consumption of the at least one sanitary component as a function of or at least also as a function of the liquid consumption in the past.
  • the control device has a computing device and a memory in which a program module is stored.
