DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0039] To better understand the above technical solutions, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. Instead, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0040] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the connecting member 10 has an elastic member 103 , a hook 104 is provided on the elastic member 103 , and a toggle 106 is provided at a first end of the elastic member 103 .

[0042] It should be noted that the connecting member 10 can be axially fixed in the second through hole 301 of the toilet seat 30, and can be clamped on the first slot 401 of the rotating shaft 40 through the hook 104, so that the toilet cover 20 and the toilet seat 30 are fixed to the toilet body through the rotating shaft 40. When the dial knob 106 is radially turned, the hook 104 disengages from the first slot 401 of the rotating shaft 40, and the rotating shaft 40 can be pulled out, so that it can be quickly disassembled without the aid of tools. At the same time, it can be adapted to various toilet cover plates, thereby improving versatility while reducing costs.

[0043] As an example, Figure 2-3 As shown, the first end of the elastic member 103 is bent to form a step to obtain a dial knob 106, so that after the connecting member is installed, there is a certain gap between the dial knob 106 and the rotating shaft 40, so that the dial knob 106 can be turned by inserting a finger into the rotating shaft 40, which facilitates disassembly; in addition, the second end of the elastic member 103 is provided with a fixing member 101 to fix the axial position of the connecting member 10 to increase the strength of the connecting member 10.

[0044] As an example, Figure 4 As shown, the fixing member 101 is a ring structure having a second opening. The elastic member 103 is disposed on the second opening and is integrally formed with the fixing member 101 through the second end.

[0045] As an example, Figure 5 As shown, fixing members 101 are symmetrically provided on the left and right sides of the elastic member 103 to fix the axial position of the connecting member 10 to further increase the strength of the connecting member 10 .

[0046] As an example, Figure 6-8 As shown, the connecting member 10 has a fixing member 101, the first end of the fixing member 101 extends to form a first opening 102, and the first end of the fixing member 101 also extends to form an elastic member 103, a hook 104 is provided on one side of the elastic member 103, the first opening 102 is provided on the other side opposite to the hook 104, and the width of the first opening 102 is greater than the width of the elastic member 103.

[0047] That is, the first end of the fixing member 101 extends to form a first opening 102 and an elastic member 103 , and the width of the first opening 102 is greater than that of the elastic member 103 , so that the elastic member 103 can smoothly move radially through the first opening 102 when subjected to external force.

[0048] As an embodiment, the depth of the hook 104 is greater than the depth of the fixing member 101 .

[0049] That is, when the elastic member 103 is not subjected to an external force, the depth of the hook 104 is greater than the depth of the fixing member 101 , so that the fixing member 101 can be limited by the hook 104 .

[0050] As an embodiment, a cut surface 105 is provided at the end of the hook 104 away from the elastic member 103 .

[0051] It should be noted that the cut surface 105 is located on the side away from the fixing member 101 .

[0052] In other words, by providing the cut surface 105 on the side of the hook 104 away from the fixing member 101 , the hook 104 can be easily hooked in.

[0053] As an embodiment, a toggle knob 106 is provided at the end of the elastic member 103 away from the fixing member 101 , and a step is formed between the toggle knob 106 and the elastic member 103 .

[0054] That is, when an external force lifts the knob 106 away from the rotation axis 40, the elastic member 103 drives the hook 104 to move away from the rotation axis 40, thereby causing the hook 104 to be ejected. When the external force is released, the hook 104 is reset and locked in to limit the position.

[0055] In summary, the connecting piece of the present invention has an elastic piece 103, a hook 104 is provided on the elastic piece 103, and a knob 106 is provided at the first end of the elastic piece 103. Thus, it can be quickly disassembled without the aid of tools, and can be adapted to various toilet covers, thereby improving versatility while reducing costs.

[0056] like Figure 9-14 As shown, the toilet installation assembly of an embodiment of the present invention includes a toilet cover 20, a toilet seat 30, a rotating shaft 40 and a connecting member 10.

[0057] Among them, a first through hole 201 is provided on the toilet cover 20; a second through hole 301 is provided on the toilet seat 30; the rotating shaft 40 passes through the second through hole 301 and is connected to the first through hole 201 of the toilet cover 20, or the rotating shaft 40 passes through the first through hole 201 and is connected to the second through hole 301 of the toilet seat 30, and a first card groove 401 is provided on the rotating shaft 40; the connecting member 10 is arranged in the first through hole 201 or the second through hole 301, and the hook 104 is inserted into the first card groove 401 of the rotating shaft 40.

[0058] That is to say, there are two installation methods for the connecting member 10 and the rotating shaft 40. One is that the connecting member 10 is arranged in the first through hole 201, the rotating shaft 40 passes through the first through hole 201 and is connected to the second through hole 301 of the toilet seat 30, so that the hook 104 on the connecting member 10 is inserted into the first slot 401 of the rotating shaft 40 for limiting; the other is that the connecting member 10 is arranged in the second through hole 301, the rotating shaft 40 passes through the second through hole 301 and is connected to the first through hole 201 of the toilet cover 20, so that the hook 104 on the connecting member 10 is inserted into the first slot 401 of the rotating shaft 40 for limiting.

[0059] That is to say, by inserting the hook 104 into the first slot 401 of the rotating shaft 40 for limiting the position, when disassembly is required, the knob 106 is manually bent away from the rotating shaft 40, so that the hook 104 is disengaged from the first slot 401, and the rotating shaft 40 can be easily pulled out from the first through hole 201 or the second through hole 301 to complete the disassembly of the toilet cover.

[0060] As an embodiment, the second end of the elastic member 103 is provided with a fixing member 101 , the first through hole 201 or the second through hole 301 is provided with a first groove 302 , and the first groove 302 is provided with a second slot matching the fixing member 101 .

[0061] As an embodiment, fixing members 101 are symmetrically provided on the left and right sides of the elastic member 10 , a first groove 302 is provided in the first through hole 201 or the second through hole 301 , and a second slot matching the fixing member 101 is provided in the first groove 302 .

[0062] As an embodiment, the connecting member 10 is disposed in the first groove 302 , and the fixing member 101 is disposed in the second slot, so as to axially fix the connecting member 10 .

[0063] As an embodiment, the dial knob 106 extends outside the first through hole 201 or the second through hole 301 .

[0064] It should be noted that the connector 10 is arranged in the first groove 302 so that the connector 10 is hidden in the toilet seat 30, which not only makes the structure firm and prevents it from falling off, and is easy to install, but also makes the appearance beautiful.

[0065] In addition, since the knob 106 extends outside the first through hole 201 or the second through hole 301, the user can directly pry it from the outside with his hands during disassembly, which further facilitates disassembly.

[0066] As another embodiment, the connecting member 10 may also be integrally formed with the toilet seat 30 so that the connecting member 10 is disposed in the first through hole 201 or the second through hole 301 .

[0067] It should be noted that the connecting piece 10 and the toilet seat 30 are formed in one piece, which further increases the structural firmness and anti-falling effect of the connecting piece 10.

[0068] As an embodiment, the rotating shaft 40 is provided with a clamping groove 401 along the circumferential direction.

[0069] As an embodiment, the rotating shaft 40 is connected to the first through hole 201 through a first end, and a second groove 402 is provided below the second end of the rotating shaft 40 .

[0070] It should be noted that when the shaft 40 needs to be disassembled, the knob 106 is manually turned to disengage the hook 104 from the first slot 401, and the shaft 40 can be easily pulled out of the second through hole 301 through the second groove 402 to quickly complete the disassembly of the toilet cover.
