Urine treating device

A urine treating device comprising:

• an evaporator section for receiving therein urine and for evaporating the water therefrom;
• and
• a deodorizing section for receiving the vapors from the evaporator section and removing the odors therefrom prior to discharge of the vapors into the surrounding environment;
• said evaporator section comprising:
• an air-tight outer container defining therein a space for containing liquid therein,
• an inner container stationarily mounted within the outer container partitioning the space thereof, said inner container having a thermal insulating wall,
• a heater positioned within said inner container, and
• a liquid inlet and a vapor outlet communicating with said outer container;
• said deodorizing section comprising:
• a housing defining therein a flow passage containing therein a catalyst for oxidizing the odor-creating components,
• pipe means communicating between the outlet of the evaporator section and one end of said housing for supplying the vapors to the catalyst,
• heating means associated with said pipe means for heating the vapors prior to their being supplied to the catalyst,
• discharge means communicating with said housing at the other side of said catalyst, and
• means for effecting movement of the vapors and accompanying air across the catalyst for discharge into the discharge pipe.

A urine treating device comprising a liquid evaporator combined with a deodorizing device and a liquid recovery means, said liquid evaporator comprising:

• an air-tight outer container defining therein a space for containing liquid therein;
• an inner container for partitioning the space of said outer container, said inner container having a thermal insulating wall;
• and
• a heater fixed to the outer container and positioned inside the inner container;
• said deodorizing device comprising:
• a deodorizing housing having an upper portion;
• a heating means provided in the deodorizing housing;
• a catalyst surrounding the heating means and contained in the deodorizing housing;
• a blower means provided outside the deodorizing housing for supplying air thereto;
• and
• a diffusion pipe provided at the upper portion of the deodorizing housing;
• said liquid recovery means comprising:
• a connecting pipe connected to the upper portion of the deodorizing housing;
• a passage shifting means connected to an upper end of the connecting pipe for shifting the flow passage of the liquid supplied from the connecting pipe;
• a diffusion pipe connected to an upper portion of the passage shifting means;
• a branching pipe connection to the passage shifting means;
• a cooling device connected to the branching pipe;
• a discharge pipe provided over an upper side of the cooling device and connected to the diffusion pipe for discharging the air therein after recovering the liquid from the vapor;
• a liquid return pipe provided at a lower portion of the cooling device and protruding therefrom for discharging the liquid obtained by cooling the saturated vapor;
• and
• a liquid tank connected to the return pipe for storing the liquid received from the return pipe, said liquid tank being provided with a valve at a lower portion thereof.
