Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of toilets; in particular, it is applicable to the fields of toilets and toilet lids that can be used for both squatting and sitting. Background Art
[0002] Existing toilets include full-squat toilets, sitting toilets, and squat-sit integrated toilets. In order to facilitate users to squat on the toilet, the height of the existing squat-sit integrated toilet is reduced to facilitate users to fully squat on it, or a full-squat footrest is specially set. The height of the buttocks is either lower than 15 cm or higher than 21 cm. In terms of the angle formed by the thigh and the calf with the knee as the vertex, for a specific person, the sitting position is greater than the semi-squat position, and the semi-squat position is greater than the full-squat position; in terms of the height of the buttocks, for a specific person, the sitting position is greater than the semi-squat position, and the semi-squat position is greater than the full-squat position. Existing sitting toilets can make the buttocks and legs both contact the seat ring, and greater force is required for defecation. Squat toilets generally do not have toilet lids or seat rings. When defecating in a full-squat position, the thigh and the calf contact, and the feet are stressed. In the traditional semi-squat position, the buttocks and the thigh do not contact the calf. When defecating in a semi-squat position, the thigh and the calf do not contact, and the knee is stressed the most but defecation is relatively the most labor-saving. Although defecation is the most convenient, the legs are the most laborious. In terms of physiological structure, the sitting and full-squat positions for defecation by the human body are not the optimal postures. There is a height in the semi-squat position, that is, when the rectum at the anus is perpendicular to the ground, the defecation of the human body can be the smoothest. The reason can also be explained by the anorectal angle or the anorectal angle in medicine. When defecating in a semi-squat position, the optimal anorectal angle or anorectal angle in medicine is achieved through the relative position (height difference) between the buttocks and the feet. The height of the buttocks in the semi-squat position is between that of the sitting toilet and the full-squat position. In the prior art, in order to achieve the optimal anorectal angle or anorectal angle, an inclined surface or a curved surface is formed on the upper surface of the toilet while maintaining the original height of the toilet, that is, the optimal anorectal angle or anorectal angle is formed by lifting the thigh while maintaining the sitting position. The height of the existing toilet is generally about 40 cm, which is very inconvenient for children to use. Most of the prior art realizes a smaller fecal dropping port by stacking a separately provided children's seat ring. Therefore, a semi-squat toilet that takes into account both the body-saving of the sitting toilet and the labor-saving of the squatting defecation is a better choice; the reduced height is also convenient for children to use; at the same time, if the height of the toilet is reduced by half, the manufacturing costs such as materials, firing deformation rate, fuel, and the storage and transportation costs can be greatly reduced. Summary of the Invention
[0003] A new semi-squat toilet is proposed, which not only achieves labor-saving defecation but also has a relatively small physical effort, is convenient for children to use, reduces manufacturing, storage and transportation costs, and reduces splashing and pollution.
[0004] The semi-squat toilet allows the user to form a semi-squat position with at least the buttocks and two feet as supports. The buttocks touch the toilet seat and the two feet support. The height of the buttocks is lower than the knees, and the optimal height for buttocks support is such that the rectum at the anus is perpendicular to the ground. At this time, the height of the buttocks is mostly measured with the sole plane as the measurement reference plane, or it can also be defined with the buttocks surface as the measurement reference plane. The upper surface of the toilet body can be a flat surface like that of a common toilet body. The height of the semi-squat toilet body is significantly lower than that of a common toilet bowl body. The buttocks are in contact with the seat or the toilet bowl, and the body is mainly supported by the buttocks and feet. The height of a common toilet body is generally about 40 cm, and the height of a semi-squat toilet is generally lower than 25 cm. By consulting materials, the height of existing toilets is about 400 mm. According to the national standard GB 1000-1988 "Chinese Adult Human Dimensions", the size of the lower leg plus the foot of current Chinese adult men is approximately four hundred and thirteen millimeters, and the size of the lower leg plus the foot of adult women is about three hundred and eighty-two millimeters. When the height is 170 cm or the knee length is 42 cm, the optimal height of the buttocks for the rectum at the anus to be perpendicular to the ground is about 20 cm.
[0005] Preferably, the adjustment of the optimal buttocks support height can be at the buttocks as the adjustment part, or at the feet as the adjustment part, or a combination of them, at least one of them. If the optimal anorectal angle or anorectal angle is formed, the height of the knees is related to the height of the buttocks. When the knee height is determined, the buttocks height can also be determined. Therefore, for a given knee height, the most comfortable defecation height can be selected by adjusting the buttocks height, and for a given buttocks height, the most comfortable defecation height can also be selected by adjusting the knee height. It is also possible to adjust the heights of the buttocks and knees simultaneously to select the most comfortable defecation height.
[0006] Preferably, the change in the buttocks support height adapts to the change in the knee height.
[0007] Preferably, the change in the buttocks support height includes the change in the height of the toilet body, or the change in the thickness of the toilet seat, or a combination of them, at least one of which adapts to the angular change caused by the change in the knee height. Different heights of the toilet body can be set, different thicknesses of the toilet seat can be set, or the height of the toilet body and the thickness of the toilet seat can be set simultaneously.
[0008] Preferably, with the optimal buttocks support height as the reference, the change range is within +30 mm, or within -30 mm, at least one of them. With the optimal buttocks support height as the reference, the change range is within +15 mm, or within -15 mm, at least one of them. Since the lengths of the human knees are different and different people feel comfortable at different heights, within the given range, the buttocks support height can be selected to vary within a certain range with the optimal as the reference.
[0009] The preferred height variation range of the toilet is between 15 cm and 21 cm. This height range can enable most people to meet the semi-squat requirement. At the same time, this height range is also the height range for most people to semi-squat with their buttocks.
[0010] The upper surface of the preferred toilet seat ring can be set to gradually decrease from front to back to form a thigh angle support. The thigh angle support can be an inclined plane or a curved surface, and the purpose is to support the thighs to form an optimal anorectal angle. The thighs can also be suspended.
[0011] The preferred toilet is provided with at least one position prompting structure. The position prompting structure enables the human body to feel or know the position of the anus through its shape, mechanical structure, electronic sensor, etc., and accordingly prompts the user to actively adjust the position of their anus.
[0012] The edge of the preferred toilet seat ring is set with a raised structure. The raised part can not only remind the user of the position of the seat but also block splashing pollution or air.
[0013] The maximum diameter of the opening of the preferred toilet seat ring is not greater than 1.5 times the diameter of the sewage outlet. Usually, the diameter of the sewage outlet is mostly between 7 cm and 8 cm, and the maximum diameter of the opening of the toilet seat ring is about within 15 cm.
[0014] The beneficial effects of the present invention:
[0015] A new semi-squat toilet is proposed, which not only achieves labor-saving defecation but also has a relatively small physical effort. It is convenient for children to use, reduces the manufacturing, warehousing, and transportation costs of the toilet, and reduces splashing pollution. Description of the Drawings
