Incinerating toilet with a locking device

Abstract

An incineration toilet includes a base, a toilet unit, a seat, a toilet casing, an access opening, a cover, and a locking system. The toilet unit is secured above the base. The toilet unit includes a toilet bowl, an incineration chamber, and an ash tray. The seat has a lid around and above the toilet bowl. The toilet casing is connected to the base for protecting an outside of the toilet casing against heat from the incineration chamber. The access opening provides access to the ashtray for emptying of the ash tray. The cover is for closing off the access opening. The locking system is operable between an unlocked state in which it allows the cover to be opened and a locked state in which the cover is prevented from being opened. The incineration toilet further includes a control system for automatically operating the locking system from the locked state to the unlocked state based on a heat parameter, such that the locking system is in the unlocked state when the heat parameter is below a predetermined threshold value.
