Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of toilet covers, and particularly to a folding squat toilet cover. Background Art

[0002] Nowadays, numerous germs have been proven to have a fecal-oral transmission route. As a relatively enclosed space with a large flow of people, public restrooms should pay particular attention to health protection.

[0003] In current public toilets, there is no dedicated device for preventing fecal-oral transmission. When a patient flushes the toilet after using it, the water flow rate is relatively large, which may carry excrement and the germs attached to it and spread them in the surrounding environment, increasing the risk of other users getting sick.

[0004] There are several types of squat toilets on the market currently, including flip-top ones, power button-operated ones, and lever-operated ones. Flip-top squat toilets are mainly targeted at home-use squat toilets. However, due to their inconvenient use, flip-top squat toilets on the market have been difficult to popularize in public places. In crowded places such as hospitals, without a shower head nearby and no other household appliances, they cannot be automatically cleaned, making them seem redundant. Compared with other squat toilets, invisible squat toilets are convenient to use, clean, and hygienic. When in use, only need to turn on the power switch panel, and it will automatically stretch and open. When not in use, turn off the power switch panel, and it will automatically close and flush at the same time. However, the power requirement of this product is not suitable for public places such as hospitals, and the renovation of existing toilets is cumbersome. Moreover, public toilets strive to be simple, and involve steps such as flushing. If electricity / magnetism is involved, they will be damaged quickly. Submarine-style squat toilets are equipped with levers, making them easy to use without hand contact with the squat toilet, clean, and hygienic. However, this product is not easy to clean in hospitals and is prone to spreading bacteria and viruses through the lever. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a folding squat toilet cover, which can be directly installed on an existing squat toilet, enabling people to cover the toilet bowl without hand contact when flushing, preventing water from flowing out of the toilet bowl, effectively reducing the amount of excrement and germs in the surrounding environment, and improving the level of health protection.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention to solve the above technical problems is as follows:

[0007] A folding squat toilet cover, comprising: a placement box detachably arranged at the rear side of the squat toilet and a covering plate arranged in the placement box. An opening for the covering plate to extend out is provided on one side of the placement box close to the squat toilet. The covering plate is an inflatable folding pop-up and retractable structure. One end of the covering plate is provided with an air charging and discharging device, and the air charging and discharging device is provided with an air charging and discharging switch connected to the foot-operated flushing switch of the squat toilet.

[0008] The placement box of the foldable squat toilet lid is arranged at the rear of the squat toilet, without the need for excessive structural modification of the squat toilet, which is convenient for installation on the existing squat toilet. The placement box is used to place the covering board, and the covering board can be inflated by an inflation device to extend and cover the squat toilet. The inflation switch is set together with the foot-operated flushing switch of the squat toilet. Thus, when stepping on the flushing switch, the covering board extends to cover the squat toilet, effectively avoiding the splashing of excrement in the toilet bowl. When the flushing switch is released, the covering board automatically retracts, thus not affecting normal toilet use.

[0009] Further, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the inflation and deflation device includes: a cylinder and a piston slidably arranged in the cylinder. The piston is connected to the inflation and deflation switch, the cylinder is communicated with the inflation end of the covering board, and a first air outlet is further provided on the side wall of the cylinder, and a second air outlet is provided on the placement box.

[0010] The cylinder is vertically arranged, and a slidable piston is provided in the cylinder. The piston is connected to the inflation and deflation switch. When stepping on the inflation and deflation switch, the piston moves downward in the cylinder, thereby squeezing the air below the piston to the inflation end of the covering board to pop out the covering board. When the inflation and deflation switch is released, the air in the covering board enters the cylinder, pushing the piston upward. The air in the cylinder enters the placement box through the first air outlet, and the placement box is communicated with the outside atmosphere through the second air outlet.

[0011] Further, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a reel is provided in the placement box, the covering board is wound on the reel, and a bearing is provided between the reel and the placement box.

[0012] The covering board is stored in the placement box through the reel. When the covering board is inflated, it rotates around the reel and extends outward to cover the squat toilet.

[0013] Further, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an inflation hose extending along the extending direction of the covering board is provided in the covering board. One end of the inflation hose is communicated with the cylinder, and the other end of the inflation hose is arranged at the end of the covering board away from the placement box.

[0014] The inflation hose inflates and deflates to drive the covering board to extend or retract.

[0015] Further, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the inflation and deflation switch is a foot pedal with anti-slip patterns.

[0016] The foot pedal is set together with the flushing switch of the squat toilet and is set in a foot pedal structure, so that the inflation and deflation switch can be stepped on while stepping on the flushing switch.

[0017] Further, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a lock-edge sponge is provided at the edge of the lower surface of the covering board.

[0018] The edge-sealing sponge is made of elastic material. When the covering plate is wound around the reel, it is compressed, which does not affect the storage of the covering plate. When the covering plate extends out, the sponge can play a sealing role between the covering plate and the ground, preventing the excrement in the toilet from splashing out.

[0019] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, antibacterial films are provided on both the placement box and the covering plate.

[0020] Setting antibacterial films on the placement box and the covering plate can prevent the device from being overly contaminated by excrement and can reduce the replacement frequency of the covering plate.

[0021] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the placement box is provided with a box cover.

[0022] When using the device, the box cover is in a closed state. When it is necessary to replace or repair the covering plate, the placement box can be opened through the box cover.

[0023] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] The folding squat toilet cover of the present invention is provided with a placement box. The placement box is provided with a retractable covering plate. The switch of the covering plate is set together with the flushing switch of the squat toilet. When stepping on the flushing switch, the covering plate can cover the squat toilet, preventing excrement from splashing out, effectively reducing the spread of pathogenic bacteria in feces. The device has zero hand contact, is easy to operate, the equipment is lightweight, the renovation scale is small, the cost is low, and the detachable device is easy to clean and maintain.
