Abstract—According to siphonic bedpan’s work principle, siphonic bedpan with variational section flow channel is put forwards into application in this paper. Structure design optimization of siphonic bedpan’s flow channel is discussed. Based on making use of Pro/E to conduct the parametrization modeling of the siphonic bedpan (the constant section bedpan and the variational section bedpan), and then adopt ADINA to simulate the flow field in the siphonic bedpan with not taking the filth into consideration. The calculation results of the numerical simulation demonstrate that variational section bedpan is better than the constant section bedpan in flushing and saving water. The results indicates the adoption of ADINA software to carry out sanitary implement’s numerical simulation can improve the accuracy of the bedpan design and manufacturing consumedly, provides a theories analysis foundation for the engineering, design and application of bedpan.

I. INTRODUCTION

The software ADINA is the product of the American company of ADINA, it is a large numeric calculational system based on the finite element method. It computes the engineering problems that various structure, fluid, the temperature field and several field coupling by solving various physical basic controlling equation. This paper recurs to the Pro/E and ADINA, making use of the parameterization design and numerical simulation, have researched siphonic bedpan s best structure of flow channel. II.

FLUSHING FUNCTION REQUIREMENT OF SANITARY

IMPLEMENT

With the improving of the people s life, the request to the sanitary implement is becoming higher and higher. At the same time, it is requested that: (1) full fill the essential function, (2) stress the shape beauty, and (3) saving water. The quality of the sanitary implement has been requested to include exact size tolerance, fine external appearance, physics function, flushing function etc. Flushing function is the ability that the bedpan ejects filth, washes it clearly while controlling the amount of water. Without question, flush function is one of the uppermost functions. According to the flushing way, bedpan can be divided into wash-down type, siphonic type and ejecting siphonic type. Wash-down bedpan rush out filth by the impact of the water, the power is decided by potential energy of the water in tank subtracts

losing energy. Siphonic bedpan s flush power primarily relies on siphonic power.

III. THE STRUCTURE DESIGN OF SIPHONIC BEDPAN S

FLOW CHANNEL As mentioned above, under the condition of piping water-filled, whatever means we adopt, it will not produce the siphonic phenomenon if air is interfused. So we should make sure that the piping section dimension is appropriate, as figure 1 shows, the diameter of D-E segment is degressive. According to the statics and hydromechanics theories, while the fluid in piping flows stably, the physical volume flux is constant at any section of the pipe. So the smaller of the pipe section, the higher of the current velocity of the fluid. So the diameter change could result in the water

velocity change in the D-E segment.

Figure 1. The structure design of siphonic bedpan s flow channel

Thus at the beginning of the siphonic bedpan s flow channel, the flushing velocity of the water becoming higher and higher, form the E-F segment in advance, expedite siphonic process, reduce the amount of water, attained the purpose of saving water. The D-E segment is rising, and its section diameter is generally among 55-65 mm. The ability of rushing out filth will be weakend with larger diameter, the result may increase water amount. While the drainage amount in forepart will be influenced with smaller diameter, it will cause the water surface rising, and result in siphonic phenomenon later. The E-F segment is a hump segment, its perfect section diameter generally among 45-55 mm. The F-G segment is a increasing segment, the diameter is becoming bigger from small, and the section is becoming large, it will lower segment s the current length increase, velocity of in the addition fluid, make make siphonic siphonic phenomenon keep more time, And its section diameter is generally among 55-60 mm.
