Locking mechanism and bathroom equipment

Abstract

The present invention relates to a locking mechanism and bathroom equipment, wherein the locking mechanism comprises: a fixed plate and an operating assembly. The fixed plate has magnetic conductivity. The operating assembly comprises a movable magnet and a magnetic conductive member. The movable magnet is arranged between the magnetic conductive members, and the movable magnet has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the movable magnet forms a locking magnetic circuit with the magnetic conductive member and the fixed plate, so that the magnetic conductive member and the fixed plate are attracted to each other. In the second state, the movable magnet forms a magnetic circuit with the magnetic conductive member to eliminate the magnetic force between the magnetic conductive member and the fixed plate. After adjusting the position of the cover body, by switching the movable magnet from the second state to the first state, a magnetic force is generated between the magnetic conductive member and the fixed plate due to the locking magnetic circuit passing through the magnetic conductive member and the fixed plate, and the magnetic force simultaneously fixes the cover body and the main body to each other. When the cover body needs to be removed from the main body, the magnetic force between the magnetic conductive member and the fixed plate can be eliminated by simply switching the movable magnet back to the second state.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bathroom equipment, and in particular to a locking mechanism and bathroom equipment. Background Art

[0002] Some bathroom equipment includes a main body and a cover body installed and connected to the main body. For example, a toilet includes a toilet body and a cover assembly connected to the toilet body.

[0003] Traditionally, the main body and cover are secured with screws, which require the holes on the main body to align with those on the cover. Since the main body is typically made of ceramic, the holes can easily misalign, causing misalignment between the holes on the main body and the cover, hindering installation.

[0004] Some cases use magnetic fastening between the main body and the cover. However, after the main body and the cover are magnetically connected, the cover itself has a certain weight. When the cover needs to be removed from the main body later, it is necessary to overcome both the gravity of the cover and the magnetic force, making it difficult to remove the cover from the main body. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a locking mechanism and bathroom equipment that does not require docking holes and can be easily disassembled.

[0006] A locking mechanism comprising:

[0007] A fixed plate having magnetic conductivity;

[0008] The operating component includes a movable magnet and a plurality of magnetic conductive parts; the movable magnet is arranged between the magnetic conductive parts, and the movable magnet has a first state and a second state; in the first state, the movable magnet forms a locking magnetic circuit with the magnetic conductive parts and the fixed plate to attract the magnetic conductive parts to the fixed plate; in the second state, the movable magnet forms an unlocking magnetic circuit with the magnetic conductive parts to eliminate the magnetic force between the magnetic conductive parts and the fixed plate.

[0009] Before the locking mechanism secures the body and cover, one of the body and cover is first connected to the fixed plate, and the other is connected to the operating assembly. After the cover is placed in the upper cavity of the body, the active magnet is switched to its second state, causing the magnetic field generated by the active magnet to converge in the unlocking magnetic circuit between the active magnet and the magnetic conductive member. Consequently, after the cover is placed on the body, no magnetic force is generated between the operating assembly and the fixed plate, allowing the relative position of the cover and body to be adjusted freely. After the position of the cover is adjusted, the active magnet is switched from the second state to the first state. Due to the locking magnetic circuit passing through the magnetic conductive member and the fixed plate, a magnetic force is generated between the magnetic conductive member and the fixed plate, which simultaneously secures the cover and body to each other. To remove the cover from the body, the active magnet is simply switched back to its second state to eliminate the magnetic force between the magnetic conductive member and the fixed plate. Therefore, removing the cover from the body only requires overcoming the weight of the cover itself.

[0010] In one embodiment, the movable magnet rotates relative to the magnetic conductive member to switch between the first state and the second state.

[0011] In one embodiment, the movable magnet is columnar and rotatably arranged relative to the magnetic conductive member along its own axis; a groove for accommodating at least a portion of the movable magnet is formed on a side of the magnetic conductive member facing the movable magnet.

[0012] In one embodiment, the locking mechanism further includes a handle connected to the movable magnet.

[0013] In one embodiment, the magnetic conductive member has a transition end, and in the second state, the magnetic conductive member cooperates with the movable magnet with the transition end to form the unlocking magnetic circuit; the transition end of one magnetic conductive member is connected to the corresponding transition end of the other magnetic conductive member through a docking member; the magnetic permeability of the docking member is lower than the magnetic permeability of the fixed plate, so that in the first state, the locking magnetic circuit bypasses the docking member and passes through the fixed plate.

[0014] In one embodiment, a side of the magnetic conductive member that is abutted against the fixing plate is provided with a docking surface, and a shape of the docking surface matches a shape of a surface of the fixing plate.

[0015] In one embodiment, the magnetic conductive member is provided with a partition groove on a side of the mating surface close to the other magnetic conductive member, and the partition groove is used to form a gap between the transition end close to the fixing plate and the fixing plate in the first state.

[0016] In one embodiment, the magnetic conductive member has a transition end, and in the second state, the magnetic conductive member cooperates with the movable magnet with the transition end to form the unlocking magnetic circuit; and a gap is provided between the transition end of one magnetic conductive member and the corresponding transition end of the other magnetic conductive member.

[0017] A bathroom device, comprising:

[0018] Locking mechanism;

[0019] the body; and,

[0020] A cover body, wherein one of the cover body and the main body is connected to the operating assembly, and the other is connected to the fixing plate.

[0021] In one embodiment, the fixing plate is connected to the upper side of the main body, and the operating assembly is accommodated in the cover body; and / or, the locking mechanism is arranged in pairs to connect the main body and the cover body on both sides in the width direction of the main body and the cover body.

[0037] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] The present invention provides a bathroom device 100 .

[0039] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the bathroom fixture 100 includes a body 20, a cover 30 connected to the body 20, and a locking mechanism 40 for fixing the cover 30 to the body 20. In one embodiment, the bathroom fixture 100 is a toilet, but it is understood that the bathroom fixture 100 can also be other equipment that requires flushing and cleaning, such as a wash basin or a bathtub.

[0040] More specifically, the main body 20 includes a liquid reservoir with a drain outlet at the bottom. The bathroom fixture 100 includes a flushing mechanism connected to the main body 20. The main body 20 may include a flushing waterway to direct the fluid in the flushing mechanism to the upper side of the liquid reservoir, allowing the fluid to evenly flush the inner wall of the reservoir from top to bottom. The main body 20 may also include a jetting waterway and a siphon connected to the drain outlet. The jetting waterway directs the fluid in the flushing mechanism to the liquid reservoir, where it is then discharged through the drain outlet and siphon.

[0041] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the cover body 30 includes a cover base 31 and a cover plate 32 rotatably connected to the cover base 31. The cover base 31 is used to support the cover plate 32 so that it can be flipped relative to the body 20. More specifically, when the cover plate 32 is flipped relative to the cover base 31 to fit the body 20, the cover plate 32 can cover the opening of the liquid pool to prevent the odor in the liquid pool from leaking out.

[0042] The present invention provides a locking mechanism 40 .

[0043] In some embodiments, as Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the locking mechanism 40 includes a fixed plate 41 and an operating assembly 42. The fixed plate 41 is magnetically permeable. The operating assembly 42 includes a movable magnet 43 and a magnetically permeable member 44. The movable magnet 43 is disposed between the magnetically permeable members 44 and has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the movable magnet 43 forms a locking magnetic circuit with the magnetically permeable members 44 and the fixed plate 41, thereby attracting the magnetically permeable member 44 to the fixed plate 41. In the second state, the movable magnet 43 forms a magnetic circuit with the magnetically permeable members 44, thereby eliminating the magnetic force between the magnetically permeable member 44 and the fixed plate 41.

[0044] Before the locking mechanism 40 is used to secure the body 20 and the cover 30, one of the body 20 and the cover 30 is first connected to the fixed plate 41, and the other is connected to the operating assembly 42. After the cover 30 is placed in the upper cavity of the body 20, the movable magnet 43 is switched to the second state, so that the magnetic field generated by the movable magnet 43 is concentrated in the unlocking magnetic circuit between the movable magnet 43 and the magnetic conductive member 44. Therefore, after the cover 30 is placed on the body 20, no magnetic force is generated between the operating assembly 42 and the fixed plate 41, and the relative position of the cover 30 and the body 20 can be adjusted at will. After the position of the cover 30 is adjusted, by switching the movable magnet 43 from the second state to the first state, a magnetic force is generated between the magnetic conductive member 44 and the fixed plate 41 due to the locking magnetic circuit passing through the magnetic conductive member 44 and the fixed plate 41. This magnetic force simultaneously fixes the cover 30 and the body 20 to each other. When the cover 30 needs to be removed from the main body 20, the movable magnet 43 only needs to be switched back to the second state to eliminate the magnetic force between the magnetic conductive member 44 and the fixed plate 41. Therefore, when the cover 30 is removed from the main body 20, it is only necessary to overcome the gravity of the cover 30 itself.

[0045] exist Figure 1 and Figure 6 In the embodiment shown, the fixing plate 41 is in the shape of a flat plate. Specifically, the fixing plate 41 comprises one or more materials such as iron, cobalt or nickel.

[0046] In some embodiments, the magnetic conductive member 44 has a transition end 442. In the second state, the magnetic conductive member 44 cooperates with the movable magnet 43 to form an unlocking magnetic circuit through the transition end 442. Figure 6In the illustrated embodiment, each magnetic member 44 has two transition ends 442. In the second state, one magnetic pole end of the movable magnet 43 corresponds to one transition end 442 of the magnetic member 44, and the other magnetic pole end of the movable magnet 43 corresponds to the other transition end 442 of the magnetic member 44. Therefore, after the magnetic flux lines pass from the north pole 431 end of the movable magnet 43 to one transition end 442 of the magnetic member 44, they pass from the other transition end 442 of the magnetic member 44 into the south pole 432 end of the movable magnet 43. Thus, a closed magnetic circuit is formed between the movable magnet 43 and the magnetic member 44. Specifically, the magnetic member 44 includes a ferromagnetic material. More specifically, the magnetic member 44 may include one or more materials such as iron, cobalt, or nickel.

[0047] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 As shown, the transition end 442 of one magnetic permeable member 44 is connected to the corresponding transition end 442 of the other magnetic permeable member 44 via a butt joint 443. The magnetic permeability of the butt joint 443 is lower than that of the fixed plate 41, so that in the first state, the locking magnetic circuit bypasses the butt joint 443 and passes through the fixed plate 41. The connection of the butt joint 443 can fix the magnetic permeable members 44 to each other. Because the magnetic permeability of the docking member 443 is lower than that of the fixed plate 41, that is, the magnetic permeability of the docking member 443 is lower than that of the fixed plate 41, the locked magnetic circuit bypasses the docking member 443 in the first state. The magnetic flux lines pass from the north pole 431 end of the movable magnet 43 to one of the magnetic permeable members 44, then from this magnetic permeable member 44 into the fixed plate 41, and then from the fixed plate 41 to the other magnetic permeable member 44. The other magnetic permeable member 44 then passes through the south pole 432 end of the movable magnet 43, thereby generating a strong magnetic force between the magnetic permeable members 44 and the fixed plate 41. More specifically, the docking member 443 is made of a diamagnetic material, such as copper, aluminum, zinc, or other diamagnetic materials.

[0048] In one embodiment (not shown), a gap is provided between the transition end 442 of one magnetic conductive member 44 and the corresponding transition end 442 of the other magnetic conductive member 44. In the first state, a vacuum or air flow is utilized to cause the locking magnetic circuit to bypass the transition end 442 of the magnetic conductive member 44 and pass through the fixed plate 41. In this embodiment, the positions of the two magnetic conductive members 44 can be fixed by the structure of the cover 30.

[0049] exist Figure 6 In the illustrated embodiment, a side of the magnetic conductive member 44 that abuts against the fixed plate 41 is provided with an abutting surface 444, the shape of which matches the shape of the surface of the fixed plate 41. In this embodiment, the surfaces of the abutting surface 444 and the fixed plate 41 that abut against the abutting surface 444 are planar, thereby allowing for a wide range of adjustment between the magnetic conductive member 44 and the fixed plate 41 and facilitating the sliding of the magnetic conductive member 44 relative to the fixed plate 41 in the second state.

[0050] exist Figure 6 In the illustrated embodiment, a magnetic conductive member 44 is provided with a partition 445 on a side of the mating surface 444 proximal to the other magnetic conductive member 44. The partition 445 is used to create a gap between the transition end 442 proximal to the fixed plate 41 and the fixed plate 41 in the first state. Compared to a case where the partition 445 is not provided, with the partition 445 provided, in the first state, the magnetic flux lines avoid the partition 445, thereby increasing the curvature of the magnetic flux lines passing through the fixed plate 41 and making the direction of the magnetic flux lines passing through the surface of the fixed plate 41 closer to perpendicular to the surface of the fixed plate 41. Since the direction of the magnetic force between the magnetic conductive member 44 and the fixed plate 41 is parallel to the direction of the magnetic flux lines when passing through the surface of the fixed plate 41, the direction of the magnetic flux lines when passing through the surface of the fixed plate 41 is made closer to vertical relative to the surface of the fixed plate 41 through the partition groove 445. In the first state, the component of the magnetic force perpendicular to the surface of the fixed plate 41 is increased, and the component parallel to the surface of the fixed plate 41 is reduced. The component of the magnetic force perpendicular to the surface of the fixed plate 41 increases the bonding strength between the magnetic conductive member 44 and the fixed plate 41, thereby increasing the connection stability between the cover body 30 and the main body 20.

[0051] Furthermore, in an embodiment not shown in the figures, anti-magnetic material may be filled in the partition groove 445 to improve the flatness or structural strength of the surface of the operating component 42 .

[0052] In some embodiments, the movable magnet 43 is rotatably disposed between the magnetic conductive members 44 to switch between the first state and the second state by rotating relative to the magnetic conductive members 44. Specifically, the switching between the first state and the second state can be achieved by rotating the movable magnet 43 by a predetermined angle. Figure 6 In the embodiment shown, there are two magnetic conductive members 44. In other embodiments, the first state and the second state can be switched by moving the movable magnet 43 relative to the magnetic conductive member 44.

[0053] More specifically, if Figure 6 As shown, there are two magnetic conductive members 44, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the movable magnet 43. The two docking members 443 are distributed along a straight line passing through the rotation axis of the movable magnet 43. Therefore, the movable magnet 43 can switch between the first state and the second state by rotating 90 degrees. Figure 7 In the illustrated embodiment, in the first state, one magnetic pole of the active magnet 43 is directed toward the middle between the two transition ends 442 of one magnetic conductive part 44, and the other magnetic pole of the active magnet 43 is directed toward the middle between the two transition ends 442 of the other magnetic conductive part 44. The magnetic flux lines pass through the north pole 431 end of the active magnet 43 to the middle of one magnetic conductive part 44, and after passing through the fixed plate 41, pass through the other magnetic conductive part 44 to the south pole 432 of the active magnet 43.

[0054] exist Figure 5 and Figure 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the movable magnet 43 is cylindrical and is rotatably mounted along its own axis relative to the magnetic conductive member 44. Specifically, the movable magnet 43 is a permanent magnet, such as ferrite or magnetic steel, with a cross-section along the axis of the movable magnet 43 having a south pole 432 on one side and a north pole 431 on the other side. Because the rotational axis of the movable magnet 43 is parallel to the fixed plate 41, when the rotational axis of the movable magnet 43 coincides with the geometric axis of the movable magnet 43, the geometric axis of the movable magnet 43 is parallel to the fixed plate 41. This reduces the thickness of the operating assembly 42 or the locking mechanism 40 perpendicular to the surface of the fixed plate 41, thereby facilitating a reduction in the height of the bathroom fixture 100.

[0055] Since the magnetic force of the movable magnet 43 has a certain correlation with its volume, when the magnetic force of the movable magnet 43 needs to be increased, it is only necessary to increase the length of the movable magnet 43 in the axial direction, thereby avoiding affecting the thickness of the locking mechanism 40 or the height of the bathroom equipment 100 when magnetic force needs to be provided.

[0056] Furthermore, if Figure 6 As shown, a groove 441 is defined on the side of the magnetic permeable member 44 facing the movable magnet 43, for accommodating at least a portion of the movable magnet 43. Specifically, the groove 441 is arc-shaped and corresponds to the shape of the side surface of the movable magnet 43. This ensures that the gap between the movable magnet 43 and the magnetic permeable member 44 remains consistent at all locations. This ensures that a small gap exists between the movable magnet 43 and the magnetic permeable member 44 in both the first and second states, thereby reducing the magnetic resistance of the locked or unlocked magnetic circuit. More specifically, the groove 441 extends between the two transition ends 442.

[0057] In some embodiments, the locking mechanism 40 further includes a handle 45, which is connected to the movable magnet 43. Specifically, the handle 45 is connected to one end of the movable magnet 43 in the axial direction. More specifically, Figure 2 and Figure 4 In the embodiment shown, the handle 45 is connected to one end of the movable magnet 43 exposed outside the cover body 30, so that the handle 45 can be used to conveniently drive the movable magnet 43 to rotate, and all or most of the movable magnet 43 is accommodated between the magnetic conductive parts 44, thereby reducing the magnetic resistance between the movable magnet 43 and the magnetic conductive parts 44.

[0058] exist Figure 3In the illustrated embodiment, the fixing plate 41 is connected to the upper side of the main body 20, and the operating assembly 42 is accommodated in the cover body 30. More specifically, the operating assembly 42 is disposed in the cover seat 31. The cover seat 31 is provided with an inner cavity having an opening on the side facing the main body 20. When the operating assembly 42 is in the second state and the cover body 30 is placed on the upper side of the main body 20, the fixing plate 41 is accommodated in the cover seat 31 through the opening of the cover seat 31 and fits with the docking surface 444 of the magnetic conductive member 44 in the cover seat 31. In an embodiment not shown in the figure, the operating assembly 42 may be connected to the upper side of the main body 20, and the fixing plate 41 may be accommodated in the cover body 30. More specifically, the fixing plate 41 is disposed in the cover seat 31. The main body 20 may be made of plastic material so as to be easily processed into a shape capable of accommodating the operating assembly 42.

[0059] exist Figure 3 In the embodiment shown, after confirming that the cover 30 and the body 20 are properly docked by observing the edges of the cover 30 and the body 20, the handle 45 exposed on the cover seat 31 is turned to switch the movable magnet 43 from the second state to the first state. The magnetic conductive member 44 generates magnetic attraction to the fixed plate 41, and the operating component 42 is fixed to the fixed plate 41. At the same time, the cover 30 is fixed to the body 20, and the installation of the cover 30 relative to the body 20 is completed. Figure 2 As shown, the locking mechanisms 40 are arranged in pairs, on either side of the width direction of the body 20 and the cover 30, to connect the body 20 and the cover 30. That is, the two locking mechanisms 40 are distributed parallel to the rotation axis of the cover 30. More specifically, the locking mechanisms 40 are arranged on the upper side of the body 20 where the liquid reservoir is not provided. In an embodiment not shown, the locking mechanisms 40 can also be arranged on either side of the length direction of the body 20 and the cover 30 to connect the body 20 and the cover 30. That is, the two locking mechanisms 40 are distributed perpendicular to the rotation axis of the cover 30.

[0060] When the cover 30 needs to be removed from the main body 20, the handle 45 only needs to be turned to switch the movable magnet 43 from the first state to the second state. The magnetic force between the magnetic conductive member 44 and the fixed plate 41 is lost, thereby avoiding the influence of the magnetic force on the removal of the cover 30 relative to the main body 20.

[0061] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0062] The above-described embodiments merely illustrate several implementations of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make numerous variations and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present invention, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the patent for this invention shall be determined by the appended claims.
