Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of environmental protection toilets, and more particularly to a squatting toilet device with automatic opening and closing. Background Art

[0002] With the development of society, the concept of green environmental protection has gradually been emphasized by the Chinese people. Since using the toilet is a problem that everyone faces every day, there is great potential for developing green environmental protection in this area.

[0003] Currently, the most recognized green environmental protection toilet is the environmental protection toilet based on biological treatment. Its core technology is to set up a biochemical reaction chamber, where biological fillers are regularly added. The feces entering the biochemical reaction chamber are degraded by microorganisms, and various pathogenic bacteria can be eliminated and organic fertilizers can be produced during the reaction process. Moreover, it does not require water, making it particularly suitable for areas with water supply difficulties or temporary meeting places.

[0004] However, the current environmental protection toilets based on biological treatment have the following problems:

[0005] Since water is not required during normal use, the surface of such environmental protection toilets is generally treated specially so that feces will automatically slide down when they fall into the squatting pan and fall into the biochemical reaction chamber through its sewage outlet. Since the feces directly fall below the sewage outlet, if the feces are not decomposed in time, the feces will accumulate seriously below the sewage outlet. When users enter the environmental protection toilet, there is a high possibility that they will look down at the sewage outlet, and in this way, users will directly see the feces below the sewage outlet through the sewage outlet, which will make users feel disgusted and thus not want to use this environmental protection toilet, resulting in a low utilization rate of the environmental protection toilet. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of this, the present invention provides a squatting toilet device with automatic opening and closing, aiming to solve the existing problems.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides an automatically opening and closing squatting toilet device, which includes a squatting toilet, a bracket, a pedal, two oppositely arranged opening and closing plates, a transmission mechanism, a first elastic member, and a second elastic member. The squatting toilet is provided with a sewage outlet, and the two opening and closing plates are hinged below the sewage outlet; the squatting toilet is fixed on the bracket, and a pedal capable of moving up and down is provided at the foot position of the squatting toilet. In the natural state, the first elastic member makes the pedal located at the first height position. When the pedal is at the first height position, the second elastic member makes the two opening and closing plates close and block the sewage outlet; the power receiving end of the transmission mechanism is in transmission connection with the pedal for receiving power from the pedal, and the power output end of the transmission mechanism is connected to the opening and closing plates. During the process of the pedal moving from the first height position to the second height position, the pedal makes the two opening and closing plates turn downwards and separate and open the sewage outlet by means of the transmission mechanism; the horizontal height of the first height position is higher than that of the second height position.

[0008] The automatically opening and closing squatting toilet device provided by the present invention is suitable for use in an environmental protection toilet. It is provided with a pedal that can be stepped on at the foot position of the squatting toilet, and two oppositely arranged opening and closing plates and a transmission mechanism are provided. In the natural state, that is, when there is no user stepping on the pedal, the second elastic member makes the two opening and closing plates close and block the sewage outlet. When the user enters the environmental protection toilet, even if they look at the sewage outlet, they can only see the opening and closing plates and will not see the feces below the sewage outlet, effectively avoiding the situation that the user feels disgusted. When the user steps on the foot position of the squatting toilet, they will step on the pedal and step it downwards, and through the transmission mechanism, the two opening and closing plates will turn downwards and separate and open the sewage outlet, and the feces discharged by the user will fall from the opened sewage outlet. In this way, the opening and closing plates will not affect the normal use of the environmental protection toilet. When the user stops stepping on the pedal, under the action of the first elastic member, the pedal returns to the first height position, and under the action of the second elastic member, the two opening and closing plates re-block the sewage outlet.

[0009] Therefore, compared with the prior art, this automatically opening and closing squatting toilet device can make users more willing to use the environmental protection toilet, improve the utilization rate of the environmental protection toilet, and achieve the purpose of environmental protection.

[0010] Further, when the pedal moves downwards, it makes the opening and closing plates rotate around the hinge point where they are hinged to the bracket by means of the transmission mechanism.

[0034] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided so that the present disclosure can be more thoroughly understood and the scope of the present disclosure can be fully conveyed to those skilled in the art. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0035] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.

[0036] The present invention provides an automatically split squatting toilet device, as Figures 1 to 6 shown, which includes a squatting pan 1, a bracket 2, a pedal 12, two oppositely arranged split plates 3, a transmission mechanism 4, a first elastic member and a second elastic member. The squatting pan 1 is provided with a sewage outlet 11. The two split plates 3 are hinged below the sewage outlet 11 (here, the split plates 3 can be hinged to the bracket 2 or at the bottom of the squatting pan 1, and the above are all within the protection scope of the present invention); the squatting pan 1 is fixed to the bracket 2, and a pedal 12 capable of moving up and down is provided at the foot position of the squatting pan 1. In the natural state, the first elastic member makes the pedal 12 located at a first height position. When the pedal 12 is at the first height position, the second elastic member makes the two split plates 3 close up and block the sewage outlet 11; the power receiving end of the transmission mechanism 4 is in transmission connection with the pedal 12 for receiving the power from the pedal 12, and the power output end of the transmission mechanism 4 is connected to the split plates 3. During the process of the pedal 12 moving from the first height position to the second height position, the pedal 12 causes the two split plates 3 to turn downwards and separate and open the sewage outlet 11 by means of the transmission mechanism 4.

[0037] Wherein, the horizontal height of the first height position is higher than that of the second height position.

[0038] An automatically split squatting toilet device provided by the present invention is suitable for use in an environmental protection toilet. It is provided with a pedal 12 that can be stepped on at the foot position of the squatting pan 1, and two oppositely arranged split plates 3 and a transmission mechanism 4 are provided. In the natural state, that is, when no user steps on the pedal 12, the second elastic member makes the two split plates 3 close up and block the sewage outlet 11. When a user enters the environmental protection toilet, even if they look towards the sewage outlet 11, they can only see the split plates 3 and will not see the feces below the sewage outlet 11, effectively avoiding the situation that the user feels disgusted.

[0039] When the user steps on the foot position of the squatting pan 1, they will step on the pedal 12 and step it downwards, causing the two split plates 3 to turn downwards and separate and open the sewage outlet 11 through the transmission mechanism 4. The feces discharged by the user fall from the opened sewage outlet 11, so that the split plates 3 will not affect the normal use of the environmental protection toilet.

[0040] When the user stops stepping on the pedal 12, under the action of the first elastic member, the pedal 12 returns to the first height position, and under the action of the second elastic member, the two split plates 3 re-block the sewage outlet 11.

[0041] Therefore, compared with the prior art, this automatically split squatting toilet device can make users more willing to use the environmental protection toilet, improve the utilization rate of the environmental protection toilet, and achieve the purpose of environmental protection.

[0042] In this embodiment, both of the two split plates 3 are hinged to the bracket 2. When the pedal 12 moves downward, the split plates 3 are rotated about the hinge points where they are hinged to the bracket 2 by means of the transmission mechanism 4. The following will describe the preferred embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with... Figures 2 to 5 The preferred embodiments of the present invention are given. Of course, in addition to adopting the mechanical structure such as... Figures 2 to 5 There are other mechanical structures that can realize the flipping of the split plates 3 when the pedal 12 moves downward. As long as they can realize the above functions and follow the innovative idea of the present invention, they should also fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0043] In this embodiment, as... Figure 3 shown, the two ends of the split plate 3 are respectively an opening and closing end 32 and a supporting end 33. The position of the hinge point 31 where the split plate 3 is hinged to the bracket 2 is located between the opening and closing end 32 and the supporting end 33. When the supporting end 33 moves upward, the opening and closing end 32 moves downward; when the pedal 12 moves downward, the supporting end 33 is made to move upward by means of the transmission mechanism 4.

[0044] Preferably, the automatic split squatting toilet device includes two sets of transmission mechanisms 4. One set of transmission mechanism 4 controls one of the split plates 3, and the other set of transmission mechanism 4 controls the other split plate 3. As... Figures 3 to 5 shown, the transmission mechanism 4 includes a fixed plate 41, a movable plate 42, a rocker 43, a first pin 44 and a second pin 45; the fixed plate 41 is fixed relative to the squatting toilet 1. The fixed plate 41 can be fixedly connected to the bracket 2, or the fixed plate 41 can also be fixedly connected to the squatting toilet 1. The movable plate 42 moves up and down following the pedal 12 through the connecting rod 13. The fixed plate 41 is provided with a first chute 411 extending in the vertical direction, and the movable plate 42 is provided with a second chute 421 extending in the vertical direction. The first pin 44 is fixed on the fixed plate 41 and slides in the second chute 421, and the second pin 45 is fixed on the movable plate 42 and slides in the first chute 411. The rocker 43 includes a hinge hole 431, an arc chute 432 and a supporting top 433. The first pin 44 is hinged to the hinge hole 431, and the second pin 45 slides in the arc chute 432. Based on the above structure, when the pedal 12 moves downward, when the movable plate 42 moves downward following the pedal 12, the movable plate 42 moves downward relative to the fixed plate 41. Through the action of the first pin 44 and the second pin 45, the supporting top 433 of the rocker 43 moves upward, and the supporting top 433 makes the supporting end 33 of the split plate 3 move upward, and the opening and closing end 32 of the split plate 3 moves downward.

[0045] In this embodiment, a through hole penetrating the squatting pan 1 is provided at the foot pedal position of the squatting pan 1, and the pedal 12 is connected to the movable plate 42 by means of a connecting rod 13 passing through the through hole. With the above structure, the movable plate 42 moves along with the pedal 12; of course, in addition to this, there are numerous connection relationships that can achieve the movement of the movable plate 42 along with the pedal 12, and similar replacements also fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0046] In this embodiment, the first elastic member is disposed between the movable plate 42 and the bracket 2, and / or the first elastic member is disposed between the movable plate 42 and the squatting pan 1, and / or the first elastic member is disposed between the pedal 12 and the squatting pan 1, and the above solutions are all acceptable. In the drawings, the first elastic member is not shown because the first elastic member can be disposed between different components, as long as it can achieve that the pedal 12 is located at the first height position in the natural state, and similar replacements also fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0047] In this embodiment, the second elastic member is disposed between the split plate 3 and the bracket 2, and / or the second elastic member is disposed between the split plate 3 and the squatting pan 1, and the above solutions are all acceptable. In the drawings, the second elastic member is not shown because the second elastic member can be disposed between different components, as long as it can achieve that the two split plates 3 are combined to close the sewage outlet 11 in the natural state, and similar replacements also fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0048] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 6 shown, a shielding plate 5 is disposed below the two split plates 3. The middle part of the shielding plate 5 is hinged to the bracket 2 and can be turned freely. The middle part of the shielding plate 5 is arched to form a first inclined plate 51 and a second inclined plate 52 that are respectively inclined downward to both sides. When the user steps on the pedal 12, the two split plates 3 open the sewage outlet 11, and at this time, the user may still see the feces below the sewage outlet 11, which will still affect the use experience to a certain extent. Therefore, in this embodiment, a shielding plate 5 is added. The shielding plate 5 is located below the sewage outlet. When the feces of the user fall, the feces will fall to both sides along the first inclined plate 51 and the second inclined plate 52. When the user looks down, only the shielding plate 5 will be seen, and the feces will not be seen.

[0049] In this embodiment, as Figure 2As shown in the figure, the automatic split squatting toilet device further includes a feces spreading mechanism 6. The feces spreading mechanism includes a rocker arm 61 and a spreading plate 62 fixedly arranged circumferentially with the rocker arm 61. The spreading plate 62 is located below the two split plates 3, and the handle 63 of the rocker arm 61 protrudes from the squatting toilet 1. After the feces fall, they will accumulate in the same place, which makes the feces piled up at a higher position unable to fully contact with the biological filler, and the time required for complete decomposition is relatively long, resulting in the actual load of the biochemical reaction chamber not reaching the expected value. Therefore, the spreading mechanism 6 is provided. The user or maintenance personnel of the environmental protection toilet can turn the handle 63 to spread the feces by the spreading plate 62, which is beneficial to the decomposition of the feces.

[0050] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalent technologies, the present invention is also intended to include these modifications and variations.
