Piston Flush Toilet with a Lubricating Piston
A piston flush toilet apparatus is disclosed. The piston flush toilet apparatus comprises one or more leaky piston seals which allow lubrication to leak in a predetermined direction. The leaky lubrication keeps waste from entering unwanted areas of the piston drive system while also lubricating the piston and macerated waste. An internal piston maceration system is also disclosed and claimed. Additionally, a microscope and light built into the piston is also disclosed and claimed.
1 . A piston flush toilet apparatus comprising:
a piston which pushes toilet waste thorough a drain, the piston comprising a first end and a second end, the first end of the piston comprising a first seal and a second seal;
a first lubricating port located between the first seal and the second seal; and
wherein as the piston pushes the toilet waste, lubrication is dispensed through the first lubricating port causing the lubrication to leak past the first seal in a predetermined direction.
2 . The piston flush toilet apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a third seal and a fourth seal located on the second end.
3 . The piston flush toilet apparatus of claim 2 , further comprising a second lubricating port located between the third seal and the fourth seal.
4 . The piston flush toilet apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the first seal and third seal are both unidirectional seals allowing the lubrication to flow in the predetermined direction.
5 . The piston flush toilet apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the lubrication further comprises water.
6 . The piston flush toilet apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the lubrication further comprises surfactants.
7 . The piston flush toilet apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the lubrication comprises foam.
8 . The piston flush toilet apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising first and second screw drives that pushes the piston.
9 . The piston flush toilet apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a common lubrication channel that supplies lubrication to the first lubrication port and to the second lubrication port.
10 . The piston flush toilet apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a maceration drive system.
11 . The piston flush toilet apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the maceration drive system further comprises a microscope situated to make visual observation of waste.
12 . The piston flush toilet apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the maceration drive system further comprises a maceration blade disposed inside of the piston flush toilet apparatus.
13 . The piston flush toilet apparatus of claim 12 , further comprising a first lubrication input port, a second lubrication input port, and a third lubrication input port.
14 . The piston flush toilet apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the third lubrication input port supplies lubrication to the maceration drive system.
15 . The piston flush toilet apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the second lubrication input port supplies lubrication to an inner chamber of the piston flush toilet apparatus where the waste is macerated into a slurry of waste and lubrication.
16 . The piston flush toilet apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the first lubrication input port supplies lubrication to the piston.
17 . The piston flush toilet apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the lubrication supplied to the first lubrication port, the second lubrication port, and the third lubrication port is substantially similar in composition.
18 . The piston flush toilet apparatus of claim 9 , further comprising a first motor which drives the first drive screw and the second drive screw with a first gear, a second gear, and a third gear.
19 . The piston flush toilet apparatus of claim 12 , further comprising a second motor which drives the maceration drive system.
20 . The piston flush toilet apparatus of claim 19 , wherein the maceration drive system drives the maceration blade with a fourth gear, a fifth gear, a sixth gear, and a seventh gear using a first belt and a second belt.
