Abstract
The invention relates to a sanitary arrangement, in particular, a mobile sanitary arrangement in a motor vehicle such as a coach, having a wastewater-collection tank which has a floor and a sidewall that enclose a tank interior, and an inlet connection and an outlet device. The outlet device has an outlet opening with a connection coupling for the connection of a suction-extraction arrangement and a suction-extraction channel, which, starting from the outlet opening, extends downward in the direction of gravitational force to an intake opening within the wastewater-collection tank.

A sanitation system for a vehicle with a wastewater collection tank, the wastewater collection tank further comprising:
- a floor and a sidewall enclosing an interior of the wastewater collection tank;
- an inlet connection;
- and
- an outlet device, wherein the outlet device further comprises an outlet opening with a connection coupling for connecting a suction-extraction device, and a suction-extraction channel extending from the outlet opening in the direction of gravity down to an intake opening within the wastewater collection tank.
A wastewater-collection tank for a sanitary arrangement a vehicle having a sanitary arrangement installed therein, further comprising:
- a floor and a sidewall that enclose a tank interior;
- an inlet connection;
- and
- an outlet device, wherein the outlet device further comprises:
- an outlet opening with a connection coupling for the connection of a suction-extraction arrangement;
- and
- a suction-extraction channel that extends from the outlet opening downward in the direction of gravitational force to an intake opening within the wastewater-collection tank.
A retrofittable suction-extraction arrangement for a wastewater-collection tank of a sanitary arrangement of a sanitary arrangement installed in a vehicle, comprising:
- an inlet connection;
- and
- an outlet device, wherein the outlet device further comprises an outlet opening with a connection coupling for the connection of a suction-extraction arrangement, and a suction-extraction channel that extends from the outlet opening downward in the direction of gravitational force to an intake opening within the wastewater-collection tank.
The use in a vehicle of a wastewater-collection tank comprising:
- a floor and a sidewall that enclose a tank interior;
- an inlet connection;
- and
- an outlet device, wherein the outlet device further comprises:
- an outlet opening with a connection coupling for the connection of a suction-extraction arrangement;
- and
- a suction-extraction channel that extends from the outlet opening downward in the direction of gravitational force to an intake opening within the wastewater-collection tank
A method for emptying a wastewater-collection tank of a sanitary arrangement in a vehicle having a sanitary arrangement installed therein, the method comprising the steps of:
- arranging an intake opening within the wastewater-collection tank, above a tank floor;
- connecting a suction-extraction arrangement to an outlet opening using a connection coupling;
- and
- extracting wastewater by suction from the wastewater-collection tank through a suction-extraction channel that connects the outlet opening to the intake opening and extends from the outlet opening downward in the direction of gravitational force to the intake opening.
