[0049] Example

[0050] Combine Figures 1 to 20This embodiment provides an easily detachable mother-and-child cover 200, including a sub-cover 100 (toilet cover) provided with a first rotating portion 110, a mother cover 200 (seat ring) arranged below the sub-cover 100, a fixing seat 300 for fixing to a toilet seat (not shown), and a limiting assembly 400 for locking or unlocking the fixing seat 300. Among them, the mother cover 200 is provided with a second rotating part 210, which is circumferentially limited by the connecting part 500 (for example, a damper) and the first rotating part 110 so that the first rotating part 110 can rotate relative to the connecting part 500. The connecting part 500 is provided with an assembly hole 510, and the fixing seat 300 has a pin 310 inserted in the assembly hole 510, and a first clamping part 311 is provided along the circumference of the pin 310; the limiting component 400 is arranged in the connecting part 500 and is provided with a second clamping part 411. By rotating the angle between the mother cover 200 and the toilet seat to a preset angle, the second clamping part 411 and the first clamping part 311 can be switched between locked and unlocked. The mother cover 200 is configured to be locked with the fixing base 300 when the second clamping portion 411 is locked with the first clamping portion 311, or to be pulled out along the direction of the latch 310 to detach from the fixing base 300 when the second clamping portion 411 and the first clamping portion 311 are released and unlocked.

[0051] It should be noted that in this embodiment, by configuring the limiting assembly 400 on the connecting component 500, the latch 310 of the fixing seat 300 is engaged with the connecting component 500 to lock or release and unlock, which corresponds to the locking or unlocking of the mother cover 200 and the fixing seat 300. When locked, the mother cover 200 cannot be pulled out of the fixing seat 300. By rotating the mother cover 200, the limiting assembly 400 can be released and unlocked, at which point the mother cover 200 can be pulled out in the direction of the latch 310. During assembly, it can be inserted in the direction of the latch 310. Without the aid of tools, the disassembly and assembly process is simple and convenient for users to operate. In addition, directly configuring the limiting assembly 400 on the connecting component 500 saves parts and simplifies the structure.

[0052] Specifically, in this embodiment, the preset angle is 90°, that is, when the angle between the female cover plate 200 and the toilet seat is 90°, the second engaging portion 411 and the first engaging portion 311 are in a yielding and unlocking state. Alternatively, when the female cover plate 200 is at a non-preset angle, the second engaging portion 411 and the first engaging portion 311 are in a locked and engaged state. For example, the horizontal position of the female cover plate 200 when it is closed over the toilet seat is 0°, and the vertical position when the female cover plate 200 is opened and rotated perpendicular to the toilet seat is 90°. The preset angle can also be set to 30°, 45°, 60°, or other angles. Indicators can be provided on the first rotating portion 110 and the toilet seat to facilitate accurate rotation to the preset angle.

[0053] Based on the above embodiment, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the limiting assembly 400 includes a limiting member 410 and an elastic member 420 (e.g., a spring). A groove 211 is provided on the inner side of the second rotating portion 210. When the groove 211 rotates to face the abutting portion 412 of the limiting member 410, the elastic member 420 can drive the abutting portion 412 to abut against the groove 211, thereby causing the second engaging portion 411 to move out of position and unlock with the first engaging portion 311. Alternatively, when the abutting portion 412 slides out of the groove 211 and abuts to another position on the second rotating portion 210, the second engaging portion 411 engages and locks with the first engaging portion 311. For example, when the second rotating portion 210 is rotated to the position of the groove 211, it is in a vertical position. When it rotates from the vertical position to the horizontal position, the abutting portion 412 compresses the elastic member 420, causing it to slide out of the groove 211 and abut against the inner wall of the second rotating portion 210, correspondingly moving the second engaging portion 411 toward a position closer to the latch 310, thereby engaging the second engaging portion 411 with the first engaging portion 311. Alternatively, when it rotates from another position to the vertical position, the abutting portion 412 abuts the groove 211 under the action of the elastic member 420, at which point the second engaging portion 411 moves away from the latch 310, correspondingly releasing the second engaging portion 411 and the first engaging portion 311, thereby allowing the mother cover 200 to be removed in the direction of the latch 310.

[0054] Furthermore, the first engaging portion 311 is an annular groove encircling the latch 310, and the second engaging portion 411 is an arc segment disposed on the limiting member 410. Specifically, in this embodiment, a engaging block extends perpendicularly to the abutting portion 412, and the arc segment is disposed on the engaging block. A straight line segment is disposed on the same side of the arc segment. When the second engaging portion 411 (arc segment) moves toward the latch 310, the straight line segment first abuts against the inner wall of the connecting member 500 to limit its position. This prevents the second engaging portion 411 from continuously impacting the latch 310, causing the latch 310 to bend or tilt, thereby affecting the insertion and removal of the mother cover 200.

[0055] In another embodiment, the limiting member 410 has a hook portion 413 extending axially from the abutting portion 412. The hook portion 413 is received in a limiting hole 520 of the connecting member 500. The elastic member 420 is disposed between the limiting hole 520 and the abutting portion 412 to enable the abutting portion 412 to move axially. In this embodiment, the elastic member 420 is first inserted between the hook portion 413 and the abutting portion 412, and then the end with the hook portion 413 is inserted toward the connecting member 500, so that the hook portion 413 is inserted into the limiting hole 520. The hook portion 413 cooperates with the limiting hole 520 to limit the limiting assembly 400 within the connecting member 500. This prevents the limiting member 410 from popping out during the process of installing the connecting member 500 into the second rotating portion 210, thereby affecting assembly.

[0056] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, based on the above embodiment, the latch 310 is further provided with a shift groove 312, and the stopper 410 is provided with a top post 414 corresponding to the shift groove 312 for abutting the shift groove 312. During assembly, the mother cover 200 is inserted along the direction of the latch 310 so that the latch 310 is accommodated in the assembly hole 510 of the connecting component 500. The top post 414 configured on the stopper 410 makes a snapping sound when the latch 310 is inserted into the assembly hole 510, thereby prompting the user to ensure that the assembly is in place and providing a sense of shifting during the assembly process. Furthermore, when the second engaging portion 411 is released and unlocked, the user needs to apply a slight force to overcome the snapping of the top post 414, which can prevent the mother cover 200 from being removed arbitrarily and causing damage.

[0057] Preferably, the second rotating portion 210 is provided with a limiting groove 212, and a limiting buckle 600 in the shape of an "X" is received in the limiting groove 212 and extends into an annular groove 530 formed along the circumference of the connecting member 500, thereby limiting the connection member 500 and the second rotating portion 210, thereby preventing the connection member 500 from falling off the second rotating portion 210.

[0058] In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, based on the above embodiment, the abutting portion 412 and the second engaging portion 411 are disposed on the same horizontal plane, and the top post 414 is provided on an extension portion protruding along the horizontal plane. In this embodiment, the stopper 410 is a shaped block. Movement of the abutting portion 412 along the axis drives the movement of the stopper 410, thereby moving the second engaging portion 411 toward or away from the latch 310.

[0059] Preferably, the stopper 410 is integrally formed and can be made of plastic such as POM, ABS, etc. Integral forming can reduce the number of parts to be assembled, thus saving costs.

[0060] Another embodiment provides a toilet, including a toilet seat (not shown) and the easily detachable parent-child cover plate 200 as described above, which is arranged on the toilet seat. It should be mentioned that in this embodiment, a flushing assembly is also included. The water tank, control assembly, etc. are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. When the user needs to clean the toilet seat, the parent cover plate 200 can be rotated to the unlocked position and then pulled out from the fixed seat 300, so that the toilet seat will not be affected by the cover plate when cleaning, which is convenient for cleaning sanitary dead corners, and the removed cover plate can facilitate the user to clean the back side of the cover plate. After cleaning, the mother cover plate 200 can be inserted along the pin position of the fixed seat to complete the assembly, which is convenient and quick.

[0061] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions under the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
