Abstract
A hygienic disposal device for sanitary waste includes a supporting structure frame for mounting one or more components, including an opening lid hingedly connected to a hopper equipped with spray nozzles for disinfectant solution and water spraying. A shredder is connected to the hopper for shredding the waste, followed by a mixing chamber for homogenously mixing shredded waste with water. Valves at the bottom of the mixing chamber separate cellulose and plastic waste. Two rotating drums dewater and dry the separated waste, while a dryer blows hot air for further drying. An outlet discharges separated water into municipal sewage lines.
Claims10
A hygienic disposal device of sanitary waste comprising:
- a supporting structure frame for mounting one or more components of the hygienic disposal device;
- an opening lid for loading the sanitary waste, the opening lid hingedly connected to a hopper with a guiding arrangement, wherein the hopper is adapted to receive soiled sanitary waste and further comprises at least two spray nozzles for spraying dilute disinfectant solution on the soiled sanitary waste from one nozzle of the at least two spray nozzles and water from another nozzle of the at least two spray nozzles;
- a shredder connected to the hopper by a nut and bolt arrangement, wherein the shredder is operably coupled to a shredder motor for shredding the soiled sanitary waste guided by said hopper for a predetermined time duration;
- a mixing chamber arranged below the shredder for homogenously mixing, whirling and spinning shredded and disinfected sanitary waste with water added via a water pump from water storage for a predetermined time;
- at least two valves positioned at a bottom of the mixing chamber for separating cellulose and plastic in the soiled sanitary waste, wherein one valve of the at least two valves comprises mesh situated at a bottom portion of the one valve to separate the cellulose and another valve of the at least two valves separates the plastic and other waste material of the soiled sanitary waste into a rotating drum chamber;
- at least two separate rotating drums mounted at a lowermost portion of the supporting structure frame for receiving semisolid cellulose and semisolid plastic waste from the mixing chamber for dewatering and drying;
- and
- a dryer for drying the semisolid cellulose and the semisolid plastic in the at least two separate rotating drums by blowing hot air and an outlet arranged at a lower portion of mixing chamber to discharge water separated out from the hygienic disposal device into a municipal sewage line.

A system for sanitary waste disposal comprising:
- a plurality of ultraviolet (UV) collection bins mounted at remote locations for collecting soiled sanitary waste and treating the soiled sanitary waste by ultraviolet rays during storage in the plurality of UV collection bin to inactivate microorganisms present on a surface of the soiled sanitary waste;
- a hygienic disposal device at a centralized location, wherein the hygienic disposal device comprises a supporting structure frame on which one or more components of the hygienic disposal device are mounted;
- an opening lid for loading the sanitary waste, hingedly connected to a hopper with a guiding arrangement, wherein the hopper is configured to receive and push the soiled sanitary waste to a shredder and the shredder comprises at least two spray nozzles for spraying dilute disinfectant solution on the soiled sanitary waste pumped from a dilute disinfectant solution storage and spray water pumped from water storage, the shredder connected to the hopper by a nut and bolt arrangement and the shredder operably coupled to a controlled motor for shredding the soiled sanitary waste by rotating blades of the shredder clockwise as well as anticlockwise for a cycle for a predetermined time duration;
- a mixing chamber arranged below the shredder for homogenously mixing, whirling and spinning shredded and disinfected sanitary waste with water added via a water pump from the water storage for a predetermined time;
- at least two valves positioned at a bottom of the mixing chamber for separating cellulose and plastic in the soiled sanitary waste, wherein at least one valve of the at least two valves comprises mesh situated at a bottom portion of the at least one valve to separate the cellulose and another valve of the at least one valve to separate the plastic and other waste material of the soiled sanitary waste into;
- at least two separate rotating drums mounted at a lowermost portion of the supporting structure frame for receiving semisolid cellulose and semisolid plastic waste from the mixing chamber for dewatering and drying;
- a dryer for drying the semisolid cellulose and the semisolid plastic in the at least two separate rotating drums by blowing hot air and an outlet arranged at a lower portion of mixing chamber to discharge water separated out from the hygienic disposal device into a municipal sewage line;
- and
- a plurality of sensors for acquiring data and sending to a remote server, at least three automatic valves, the remote server for data analyzing, data managing and system monitoring, a data transmission module, a microcontroller for controlling automatic operations of the one or more components, a display screen for displaying a status of stages of disposal and an electronic device for receiving alerts or messages or electronic mails received by an operating person.
