[0003] At present, the sanitation system installed on the aircraft is a vacuum sanitation system. In order to increase the space for personnel use and not affect the passage of other personnel, the toilet door is designed to be a folding door that pushes inward. When personnel use the toilet or leave the toilet, if the toilet door is forgotten to be closed or not closed tightly, the toilet exhaust gas will be discharged into the cabin, affecting the comfort of the personnel on board.

[0004] In order to cope with this situation, it is necessary to provide an automatic rebound mechanism of a purely mechanical device, which is installed on the folding door of the bathroom to ensure the automatic closing of the folding door of the bathroom. Summary of the invention
