Sanitary Facility

Abstract

A sanitary facility comprising: a waste detection device; a central unit receiving information from the waste detection device, and determining in which preset zone(s) of the floor the waste is located; and a washing device for the floor (7), the washing device comprising: at least one nozzle able to spray a fluid; means for rotating the at least one nozzle; and means for detection of angular positions of the at least one nozzle, the rotating means being driven by the central unit for selectively washing the preset zones of the floor on which the waste is present.

1 . A sanitary facility comprising a structure delimiting a receiving space for users, where the receiving space comprises a floor and a toilet device, and where the sanitary facility further comprises:
 a waste detection device able to detect and locate waste present on the floor;   a central unit able to receive information from the waste detection device, and to determine in which preset zone(s) the waste is located; and   a washing device able to wash the floor, the washing device comprising:
 at least one nozzle able to spray a fluid; 
 means for rotating the at least one nozzle; and 
 means for detection of at least some angular positions of a nozzle, means of detection which send the central unit position information for the at least one nozzle, 
   
       where the rotating means are driven by the central unit for selectively washing the preset zones of the floor on which the waste is present. 
     
     
         2 . The sanitary facility according to  claim 1  comprising a solenoid valve driven by the central unit for supplying fluid to the at least one nozzle when the at least one nozzle is directed towards a set zone having waste. 
     
     
         3 . The sanitary facility according to  claim 1 , wherein the means of detection of at least some angular positions of the at least one nozzle comprises at least one cam pivoting in unison with the at least one nozzle and angular position sensors for the at least one cam. 
     
     
         4 . The sanitary facility according to  claim 1 , wherein the rotating means give the at least one nozzle an oscillatory pivoting movement with two end positions defining the angular range of the at least one nozzle, where the angular range is subdivided in at least two angular sectors forming fixed zones. 
     
     
         5 . The sanitary facility according to  claim 3 , wherein the at least one cam comprises a first cam configured to allow the detection of the end angular positions of the range of the at least one nozzle and a second cam configured to allow the detection of a boundary between two angular sectors associated with the at least one nozzle. 
     
     
         6 . The sanitary facility according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one nozzle comprises three nozzles and the sanitary facility comprises respective means for rotating each of the three nozzles. 
     
     
         7 . The sanitary facility according to  claim 1 , wherein the rotating means comprises a motor rotating an eccentric and a connecting rod connecting the eccentric to the nozzle. 
     
     
         8 . The sanitary facility according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one nozzle is arranged at a lower end of a vertical tube. 
     
     
         9 . The sanitary facility according to  claim 1  further comprising a fixed nozzle, preferably arranged near a door giving or blocking access to the receiving space. 
     
     
         10 . A process for washing a sanitary facility according to  claim 1 , the process comprising the steps consisting of:
 detecting the presence of waste;   determining a specific zone among the preset zones in which the waste is located;   determining a specific nozzle from the at least one nozzle which is associated with the specific zone;   rotating this specific nozzle; and   supplying this specific nozzle with fluid when this specific nozzle is oriented towards the specific zone.   
     
     
         11 . The process according to  claim 1 , wherein the facility comprises a waste collection zone and the specific nozzle is supplied with fluid only when it is directed towards the specific zone and when it has a movement tending to bring the orientation of the specific nozzle closer to the collection zone.
