About Convenience Funtzio Nagusia: Aldi Baterako Komuna

Liburuaren Testua: Convenience komun publiko iraunkorrik ez duten espazio publikoetarako diseinatutako aldi baterako komuna da. Unitatea estolderia sarbide-puntu baten gainean kokatzen da, hartara, gernua zuzenean estolderia-putzura isurtzen da eta ez da biltegiratzen. Estalki-plaka kentzen da eta bi pixadegien arteko erretenean ezartzen da, unitateari egonkortasuna emateko eta gal ez dadin. Formak berak euriari azalerak garbitzeko aukera ematen dio. Convenience plastikozko injekzio-moldaketaz egina dago eta udal-langileek erraz mugitzeko bezain arina da. Neurriak honakoak dira: 1300 mm-ko zabalera, 1400 mm-ko sakonera eta 2000 mm-ko altuera.

Production Technology
Our design is shaped by plastic injection molding technology.
Design Challenge
The challenge of our design is that we cannot find a right place to put manhole cover at the beginning. After a certain number of sketching and discussing of our project, we finally find the proper way which achieves the desired effect. Now, the manhole cover is the key of how to make Convenience self-balance.
Research
To avoid the awkward circumstance for nowhere to empty your bladder, the team offer a better solution of temporary man’s room by incorporating urban sewage into design. For temporary man’s room, as we all know, how to make it cleaning and where to put urine are big issues. Our team find a right way in it’s unique shape which can self-cleaning in those rainy days and let the pass water through into sewage well directly.
Inspiration
Because of it incorporates urban sewage, Convenience can be placed anywhere with a sewer line and manhole cover. The team have got a brilliant idea in reusing the manhole cover. The grooved-putting cover can make the product balance during service time. And the unique appearance make the pass water will be discharged into sewage well directly by the urinal so that it will not store urine. Convenience can be self-cleaning on rainy days. It is so light that can be moved easily by municipal workers.
Project Duration
The project started in April 2017 in LAFA Communal Facility Design Studio and finished in January 2018 in National Experimental Teaching Demonstration Center of Industrial Design in LAFA.
Operation Flow
The municipal apartment can remove the cover and put Convenience on the top of discharge. After setting Convenience, workers can put the manhole cover in the groove which is between two urinals’ back so that the cover won’t be lost.
