[0052] The disassembly and assembly process of the toilet cover in this embodiment is briefly described as follows:

[0053] like Figure 7 As shown, first assemble the seat ring 20: connect and fix the connecting piece 31 and the descending device 32 with the connecting screws 312 to form a shaft assembly; pre-install the shaft assembly in the sleeve 21 of the seat ring 20 and extend it from the first end opening 22 of the sleeve 21;

[0054] like Figure 8 As shown, the upper cover 10 is then assembled: the cover connector 40 is snap-fitted into the paving portion 12 of the shaft sleeve 11 , so that the cover connector 40 is snap-fitted with the paving portion 12 ;

[0055] like Figure 9 As shown, the seat ring 20 is then connected to the upper cover 10: the shaft assembly extends from the first end opening 22 of the sleeve 21 and is inserted into the shaft sleeve 11 of the upper cover 10, thereby connecting the upper cover 10 and the seat ring 20 together;

[0056] like Figure 10 As shown, the installation of the blocking cover 70 is finally completed: the two sets of shaft assemblies are pushed to both sides respectively, and the blocking cover 70 is installed on the first end opening 22 of the sleeve 21 to complete the assembly of the toilet cover.

[0057] like Figure 11 As shown, during disassembly, since the shaft sleeve 11 is provided with a yield portion 12, the cover connector 40 is removed from the yield portion 12, and the shaft assembly can be moved along the shaft sleeve 11 through the yield portion 12, thereby causing the shaft assembly to exit the shaft sleeve 11, thereby realizing the separation of the upper cover 10 and the seat ring 20.

[0058] Second embodiment (the cover connector is provided at the end of the shaft sleeve of the upper cover)

[0059] like Figure 12 and Figure 13As shown, the main difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that in this embodiment, the relief portion 12 is provided as an outer opening of the shaft sleeve 11 of the upper cover 10, and the cover connector 40 engages with the outer opening of the shaft sleeve 11 of the upper cover 10. Specifically, the shaft sleeve 11 includes an inner opening at the inner end and an outer opening at the outer end. The shaft assembly is inserted into the shaft sleeve 11 through the outer opening and extends from the inner opening into the sleeve 21; the cover connector 40 engages with the outer opening. The remaining structure and assembly and disassembly process of this embodiment are basically similar to those of the first embodiment and will not be described in detail here.

[0060] The foregoing description shows and describes preferred embodiments of the present invention. As previously mentioned, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the form disclosed herein and should not be construed as excluding other embodiments. Instead, the present invention can be used in various other combinations, modifications, and environments and can be modified within the scope of the inventive concept described herein by the teachings above or by techniques or knowledge in the relevant art.
