Description

The invention relates to sanitary and hygienic equipment and is intended for dispensing liquid detergents/disinfectants and dispensing/receiving paper towels in public and industrial premises (toilet and washrooms, medical institutions, food production facilities, etc.). A portable foot-operated soap dispenser is known (US 1949315 A, IPC A47K 5/12, published 02.08.1926), a combination with a supporting base, a hollow standard extending upward from it, a cap on the upper part of the standard having an elongated recess for a bearing, a container mounted on the lid and having a projection extending downward from below into a recess in the lid, a rod passing upward through the hollow standard to a point under the lid, a vertically elongated opening in the standard under the lid, a pump in the container having a discharge chute, and a rigid connecting element from the upper part of the rod, passing through the elongated opening in the standard and connected to the pump for driving the latter by means of vertical movement of the rod. The disadvantages of the known device include limited functionality due to the lack of integration with paper towels and a waste chamber, lack of control over consumables, and low hygiene in maintenance due to the lack of contactless monitoring. A foot dispenser is known (US 7299951 B2, IPC B05B 11/10, published 08.03.2005), and more specifically, a foot dispenser for dispensing liquid products, such as skin care products (e.g., hand soap, hand sanitizer, surgical scrub, lotion, etc.). More specifically, the foot dispenser includes a bottle connected to a tube, which, in turn, is connected to a piston pump. The piston pump is located inside a casing, which is detachably attached to a wall bracket. The wall bracket includes a bottle holder with a dispenser. Disadvantages include limited functionality due to the lack of integration with paper towels and a waste chamber, lack of control over consumables, limited application due to electronic motion sensors requiring a network connection, low versatility, limited to soap or liquid detergent only, and no status indication system. The closest related invention is a combined towel and soap dispenser for personal hygiene (US 20090090737 A1, IPC A47F 1/00, B67D 1/07, published 09.04.2009), comprising a housing with a front, rear, bottom, top, and side portions forming a decorative enclosure. A partition is provided within the housing, forming an upper internal compartment for liquid soap and a lower internal compartment for storing folded paper towels. A dispensing slot is provided in the lower portion of the housing for alternately dispensing folded paper towels. In addition, a soap dispenser protrudes from the front portion of the housing for dispensing soap from the upper internal compartment of the housing. The disadvantages include limited use due to the lack of a waste chamber, the lack of automatic condition monitoring, increased operating costs due to the need for additional maintenance of the automatic sensor dispenser, and the limitations of the hygiene complex associated with the search for disposal of used towels. The technical problem that the claimed invention is aimed at solving is the creation of a device that ensures the comprehensive implementation of sanitary and hygienic procedures (dispensing liquid products, dispensing paper towels and recycling used materials) while simultaneously monitoring consumable components and the condition of the device. The technical problem is solved by a device for dispensing liquid products and servicing sanitary and hygienic procedures, comprising a fixed base, a movable rectangular contour installed on the base, upper and lower bars, wherein the lower bar is designed with the possibility of pressing with a foot, a spring connected to the movable contour for returning it to its original position, a chamber for a liquid product dispenser, a paper towel holder, a chamber for garbage and a dispenser installed in the chamber. What is new is that the device is equipped with a built-in liquid level sensor in the dispenser chamber, a sensor for the presence of paper towels in the holder, and a sensor for the fullness of the waste chamber, connected to the indicator unit, while the movable rectangular contour is kinematically connected to the lower bar and spring, ensuring the activation of the dispenser when pressed with the foot, and the towel holder and the waste chamber are structurally combined with the dispenser chamber in a common housing. What is also new is that the indicator unit is designed as an LED module, displaying the status of each sensor in a different color. What is also new is that the towel presence sensor is designed as an optical sensor located in the holder area. What is also new is that the display unit is equipped with a wireless module for transmitting data to an external service device. Fig. 1 shows a general view of the device. The device comprises a fixed base 1, a mov
