Claims10
A smart, portable, affordable device (100) for safe and hygienic disposal of sanitary waste as claimed in claim 1 comprising:
- a supporting structure frame (18) on which all other components of the device (100) are mounted, an opening lid (1) for loading the sanitary waste, hingely connected to a hopper (2) with a guiding arrangement wherein;
- said hopper (2) adapted to receive soiled sanitary waste and further comprises at least two spray nozzles (3) for spraying the dilute disinfectant solution on the soiled sanitary waste from one nozzle and water from another, a shredder (4) connected to said hopper (2) by nut and bolt arrangement is operably coupled to a shredder motor (12) for shredding the sanitary waste guided by said hopper (2) for predetermined time duration, a mixing chamber (6) arranged below said shredder (4) for homogenously mixing, whirling and spinning shredded & disinfected sanitary waste with water added via water pump from water storage (14) for a predetermined time, at least two valves positioned at the bottom of said mixing chamber (6) for separating cellulose and plastic in the waste wherein;
- at least one valve comprises of mesh situated at bottom portion to separate cellulose and another valve to separate plastic and other waste material into next rotating drum chamber, at least two separate rotating drums (10) mounted at the lowermost portion of said supporting structure (18) for receiving semisolid cellulose and semisolid plastic waste from said mixing chamber (6) for dewatering and drying, a dryer (11) for drying the wet cellulose and plastic in rotating drums (10) by blowing hot air and an outlet (19) arranged at the lower portion of mixing chamber (6) to discharge water separated out from the device into municipal sewage line.
An eco-friendly system for safe, hygienic disposal and effective monitoring of sanitary waste disposal comprising;
- a plurality of UV collection bins (21) mounted at remote locations for collecting the soiled/used sanitary waste and treating the waste by ultraviolet rays during storage in collection bin (21) to inactivate the microorganisms present on surface of used waste, a sanitary waste disposal device (100) at a centralized location wherein;
- each device (100) may comprises a supporting structure frame (18) on which all the other components of the device are mounted, an opening lid (1) for loading the sanitary waste, hingely connected to a hopper (2) with a guiding arrangement wherein;
- said hopper (2) may receive and push soiled sanitary waste to the shredder (4) and further comprises at least two spray nozzles (3) for spraying the dilute disinfectant solution on the soiled sanitary waste pumped from a dilute disinfectant solution storage (15) and spraying water pumped from water storage (14), a shredder (4) connected to said hopper (2) by nut and bolt arrangement is operably coupled to a controlled motor (12) for shredding the sanitary pads/diapers by rotating the shredder blades clockwise as well as anticlockwise for a cycle for predetermined time duration, a mixing chamber (6) arranged below said shredder (4) for homogenously mixing, whirling and spinning shredded & disinfected sanitary waste with water added via water pump from water storage (14) for a predetermined time, at least two valves positioned at the bottom of said mixing chamber (6) for separating cellulose and plastic in the waste wherein;
- at least one valve comprises of mesh situated at bottom portion to separate cellulose and another valve to separate plastic and other waste material into next rotating drum chamber, at least two separate rotating drums (10) mounted at the lowermost portion of said supporting structure (18) for receiving semisolid cellulose and semisolid plastic waste from said mixing chamber (6) for dewatering and drying, a dryer (11) for drying the wet cellulose and plastic in rotating drums (10) by blowing hot air and an outlet (19) arranged at the lower portion of mixing chamber (6) to discharge water separated out from the device into municipal sewage line, a plurality of sensors for acquiring data and sending to a remote server (20), at least three automatic valves, a remote server (20) for data analyzing, data managing and system monitoring, a data transmission module, a microcontroller (5) for controlling automatic operations of components, a display screen (13) 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.
