Description

Device with cistern for reuse of waters

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a device with cistern for water reuse.

Background of the invention

The tanks used to make downloads of water in the toilet usually have a single entrance or water supply from the distribution network. In function of the discharge mechanism used said tanks they can discharge all or part of the water contained within itself, which in any case implies a significant consumption of clean water, that is, from the net.

Currently there are also some on the market gray water reuse devices, that is, have been previously used for personal hygiene either in showers, bathtubs, sinks etc.

Generally these devices for the gray water reuse, most frequently used in hotels and residential buildings, include a deposit of accumulation located on the ground floor or in the basement of the building, The use of motor pumps for pumping is essential after the accumulated water to the different plants of the building, where it will be reused.

These reuse devices have a important ecological function by significantly reducing the water consumption from the supply network; Nevertheless, from an economic point of view they have a very low profitability or zero, since the electric consumption of motor pumps can be an expense similar to the savings obtained in water consumption.

On the other hand, the use in water tanks recovered by these devices for reuse is not especially hygienic, since it is not clean water and when performing tank discharge is always accumulated in the bottom or toilet siphon a certain amount of water it contains residues of detergents, greases or other products from its initial use

Description of the invention

The device with cistern for reuse of waters, object of this invention, presents some peculiarities constructive oriented to allow, on the one hand, the gravity reuse of gray water coming from a floor of a building in the toilets of lower floors, eliminating therefore the consumption that supposes the use of motor pumps in conventional devices for pumping water to reuse and, on the other hand, to allow the cistern of the device in question use reused gray water and water clean coming from the distribution network, making its sequential download in the order indicated, which guarantees that the residual water that remains at the bottom or siphon of the toilet is Always clean water.

For this, and according to the invention, this device comprises a cistern provided with a first independent compartment and second compartment, each of said compartments having a mouth for the connection of a water supply line, of a mouth of download and a download mechanism.

The device further comprises a conduction for the gravity supply, to the first compartment, of water grays coming from an upper floor and a conduit for the Clean water supply, coming from the distribution network: to the second compartment.

To ensure gray water availability for use in the cistern it is planned that the device have a gray water storage tank; connected to first compartment for the corresponding conduction of supply, the accumulation of water being carried out in said deposit grays from an upper floor.

Water supply pipes to tank compartments have separate shut-off valves floatable.

The cistern also has a mechanism for trigger for sequential actuation of the mechanisms of discharge of the first compartment containing the gray waters to reuse and from the second compartment containing clean water from the distribution network.

Said firing mechanism comprises a button Trigger and double sequence timer) for activation sequential discharge mechanisms of the first compartment gray water container and second container compartment of clean water. This guarantees, as already mentioned. before it is clean water, from the second compartment, which is normally accumulated in the bottom or toilet siphon

Description of the figures

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to facilitate the understanding of characteristics of the invention, is attached herein descriptive a set of drawings in which, with character Illustrative and not limiting, the following has been represented:

- Figure 1 shows a schematic view in front elevation of the device of the invention installed in a building.

- Figure 2 shows an elevation view of the device cistern sectioned by a vertical plane.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

As you can see in the attached figures, The device of the invention comprises a cistern (1) in which inside a first compartment (2) and a second compartment (3) independent from those found connected respectively a conduit (21) for the supply of  gray water and a conduit (31) for water supply clean coming from the distribution network.

The conduits (21 and 31) have paths valves (22, 32) actuated by float (23, 33).

As can be seen in Figure 1, the conduction (21) is connected to a tank (4) located by above the level of the tank (1) and responsible for collecting gray water from an upper floor and, in this case concrete, of the bathtub drain (5).

In this way, the gray waters accumulated in the tank (4) can access by gravity to the first compartment (2) of the tank when the opening of the valve occurs (22) associated with driving (21).

The compartments (2 and 3) have two separate discharge mechanisms (24, 34) electrically operable and that tend to remain in the closed position of the respective discharge mouths (25, 35) of water to the toilet.

These download mechanisms are operable by a trigger mechanism (6) comprising a push button (61) user-operable and a double sequence timer (62) that sequentially activate the download mechanisms (24) corresponding to the first compartment (2) water container grays and the discharge mechanism (34) of the second compartment (3) container of clean water, being clean water from this second compartment (3) will remain in the lower zone or toilet siphon (7).

Once the nature of The invention, as well as a preferred embodiment, is for the appropriate purposes that the materials, form, size and arrangement of the elements described may be modified, as long as this does not imply an alteration of the essential features of the invention claimed in continuation.
