Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of toilet technology, specifically to a mounting assembly, a toilet, and a mounting method. Background Technology

[0002] A waterless toilet is an environmentally friendly sanitary device that does not require flushing or rely on a sewer system. It is suitable for use in scenarios with limited conditions and a lack of water sources, such as RVs.

[0003] Waterless toilets collect waste through collection bags for subsequent bulk processing, requiring the collection bags to be placed on the toilet seat before use. However, manually placing these bags requires users to bend over, which is not only cumbersome but may also cause some users to feel psychologically resistant, thus hindering the widespread adoption of waterless toilets.

[0004] Some related technologies incorporate paired rolls of material inside the toilet seat. When the user presses a button, the waterless toilet automatically unrolls the material and heat-melts and welds the released material strip to form a collection bag, overcoming the shortcomings of manual bagging.

[0005] However, the material roll, the laying structure, and other internal structures of the toilet seat may interfere with each other. For example, incineration-type waterless toilets convert waste into ash and a small amount of gas through an incineration chamber at the bottom of the toilet seat. The incineration chamber generates temperatures of nearly 1,000 degrees Celsius during operation, and the heat conducted to the outside may damage the material roll. Furthermore, the incineration chamber also occupies internal space in the toilet seat, limiting the space available for the material roll and laying structure.

[0006] Therefore, the installation method in the relevant technology has certain limitations and cannot be applied to some toilets. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of this, the present invention provides a laying component, a toilet, and a laying method to solve the problem of limitations in the use of laying methods.

[0008] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a laying assembly including a base and a plurality of telescopic members, the base being disposed on the side of a toilet seat facing the toilet seat, the plurality of telescopic members being disposed circumferentially spaced around the outer periphery of the base, the telescopic members being capable of extending and retracting radially relative to the base to expand the outer edge of the material.

[0009] Beneficial effects: In use, the user first opens the toilet lid, places the outer edge of the retracted material onto the telescopic component, then closes the toilet lid. The placement component moves along with the toilet lid to the toilet seat opening, and the telescopic component extends radially outward, thus opening the outer edge of the material and placing it on the toilet seat. Finally, the toilet lid is reopened, and the toilet can be used. On the one hand, the placement component enables automatic opening and placement of the material, reducing the user's steps and making the toilet more convenient to use. On the other hand, the placement component is located on the toilet lid, allowing the user to directly operate the opened toilet lid, thus reducing user psychological resistance and promoting the widespread application of the placement component. The placement component can also be staggered from the internal structure of the toilet seat to avoid mutual interference between structures, effectively expanding the applicable scenarios of the placement component.

[0010] In one alternative embodiment, the laying assembly further includes a first spring, a first spool, and a first pull rope. The first spring is disposed between the base and the telescopic member for driving the telescopic member away from the base. The base includes a mounting chamber. The first spool is disposed in the mounting chamber. One end of the first pull rope is wound around the first spool, and the other end of the first pull rope is connected to the telescopic member. The first spool is used to wind up or release the first pull rope.

[0011] Beneficial effects: Using a first spool and a first spring to drive the telescopic component simplifies the drive structure, which facilitates the miniaturization of the installation component, enabling it to fit more toilet sizes and further expanding its applicability.

[0012] In one alternative implementation, the laying assembly further includes a first driver for driving the first spool to rotate.

[0013] Beneficial effects: Driven by the first driver, the first spool can be flexibly controlled to rotate forward or backward, realizing the electric extension and retraction of the laying assembly.

[0014] In one alternative embodiment, the laying assembly further includes a first transmission mechanism for driving the shaft connecting the first spool and the toilet seat, the first transmission mechanism being used to drive the first spool to wind up the first pull cord when the toilet seat is opened.

[0015] Beneficial effects: Driven by the first transmission mechanism, the winding process and the toilet seat opening process can be coupled together, and the telescopic component can be automatically retracted when the toilet seat is opened, making operation more convenient.

[0016] In one optional embodiment, the first transmission mechanism includes a first gear set, a second spool, a third spool, and a second pull rope. The second spool is rotatably mounted on the toilet seat. The first gear set is driven by the rotating shaft of the toilet seat and the second spool. The third spool is rotatably mounted on a base and is driven by the first spool. The second pull rope is wound between the second spool and the third spool.

[0017] Beneficial effects: The second spool can wind up the second pull rope, which in turn drives the third spool to rotate, and then drives the first spool to wind up the first pull rope. The first gear set plays an amplifying role, thereby amplifying the rotation of the toilet seat into multiple rotations of the second spool, which meets the winding requirements of the first pull rope.

[0018] In one optional embodiment, the first transmission mechanism further includes a one-way clutch structure and a second spring. The one-way clutch structure is connected between the third spool and the first spool, and the second spring is connected between the third spool and the base. The second spring is used to drive the third spool to wind up the second pull rope.

[0019] Beneficial effects: During the opening of the toilet seat, the second spool winds up and the third spool unwinds. The one-way clutch structure causes the first and third spools to rotate synchronously, winding up the first pull rope. During the closing of the toilet seat, the second spool unwinds and the third spool winds up. The one-way clutch structure disconnects the first and third spools, keeping the first spool wound up so that the first spring can be released later.

[0020] In one alternative implementation, the laying assembly further includes a switching mechanism for locking or releasing the first spool.

[0021] Beneficial effects: During the closing process of the toilet seat, the one-way clutch structure disconnects the first and third spools of the cable, and the switching mechanism can lock the first spool to prevent the first spring from rebounding. After the toilet seat is closed, the switching mechanism releases the first spool, allowing it to rotate freely, and the first spring rebounds to push out the telescopic component.

[0022] In one alternative embodiment, the base includes a plurality of limiting holes extending radially, the plurality of limiting holes being arranged at intervals on the outer periphery of the base in the circumferential direction, and the first spring being inserted into the limiting holes.

[0023] Beneficial effects: The limiting hole can play a positioning role, preventing the first spring from falling off the base. In addition, the limiting hole helps to extend the length of the first spring, making it suitable for using a first spring with stronger stiffness and elasticity, ensuring that the first spring can reliably push the telescopic component to the target position.

[0024] In one alternative embodiment, the limiting hole is arranged circumferentially around the first winding spool, and the base includes a cable passage hole communicating with the mounting chamber and the limiting hole, through which the first pull rope passes to connect the telescopic member.

[0025] Beneficial effects: The first pull rope passes through the wire hole at the bottom of the limiting hole and passes through the first spring to connect the telescopic component, which makes the layout of the first pull rope and the first spring more compact, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the laying components. In addition, the first spring can also play a certain role in shielding and protecting, preventing the first pull rope from being accidentally damaged.

[0026] In one alternative embodiment, the laying assembly further includes a telescopic sleeve, one end of which is fixedly disposed within the limiting hole, and the other end of which is connected to the telescopic member, wherein the first traction rope passes through the sleeve and is connected to the telescopic member.

[0027] Beneficial effects: The sleeve can further protect the first traction rope, and at the same time, the sleeve can also provide support to prevent the first spring from bending and deforming during the extension and retraction process, ensuring that the laying assembly can function reliably.

[0028] In one alternative embodiment, the laying assembly further includes a slider and a linkage mechanism. The slider is disposed on the base and is movable axially on the base. The linkage mechanism is connected between the slider and the telescopic member to convert the axial movement of the slider into radial movement of the telescopic member.

[0029] Beneficial effects: The rigid linkage mechanism can lock the telescopic component when it is opened, making the position of the telescopic component more accurate.

[0030] In one alternative embodiment, the deployment assembly further includes a second transmission mechanism that drives the slider and the pivot of the toilet seat. The second transmission mechanism is used to move the slider when the toilet seat is opened to retract the telescopic member.

[0031] Beneficial effects: Driven by the second transmission mechanism, the extension and retraction of the telescopic component and the opening of the toilet seat can be coupled together, and the telescopic component can be automatically retracted when the toilet seat is opened, making operation more convenient.

[0032] In one optional embodiment, the second transmission mechanism includes a third pull rope, a second gear set, and a fourth spool. The fourth spool is rotatably mounted on the toilet seat. The second gear set is drivingly connected to the rotating shaft of the toilet seat and the fourth spool. One end of the third pull rope is wound around the fourth spool, and the other end is connected to the slider.

[0033] Beneficial effects: The fourth spool can wind up the third pull rope, thereby pulling the slider to move. The second gear set plays an amplifying role, thus amplifying the rotation of the toilet seat into multiple rotations of the fourth spool, meeting the slider's stroke requirements.

[0034] In one optional embodiment, the material is a collection bag, and the end of the telescopic member is provided with a groove for positioning the opening of the collection bag.

[0035] Beneficial effects: The placement component is used to open the opening of the collection bag so that the collection bag can be placed on the toilet seat. The opening of the collection bag has an elastic band that can be locked in the groove, thereby ensuring that the collection bag is stably fixed on the placement component and preventing the collection bag from accidentally falling off during the bagging process.

[0036] In one alternative embodiment, the base is detachably mounted on the toilet seat, and the side of the base facing the toilet seat has a maintenance hole communicating with the mounting chamber.

[0037] Beneficial effects: During normal use, the toilet seat covers the maintenance hole, and the first actuator and other structures are hidden inside the installation chamber, preventing the external environment from affecting the lifespan of the first actuator. During maintenance, the installation chamber and internal structure can be exposed by removing the base, making related operations easier.

[0038] Secondly, the present invention provides a toilet, including a toilet seat, a toilet lid, a fixing component, and a placement component provided by the present invention. The toilet seat has a cavity inside, and the top of the toilet seat is provided with a toilet opening communicating with the cavity. The toilet lid is rotatably disposed on the top of the toilet seat for covering the toilet opening. The placement component is disposed on the toilet lid for opening a collection bag. The fixing component is disposed around the toilet opening for fixing the opening of the collection bag.

[0039] Beneficial effects: The toilet includes the laying component provided by the present invention, and therefore has the corresponding beneficial effects brought about by the laying component, which will not be elaborated here.

[0040] In one alternative embodiment, the fixing component includes a second driver and a limiting member, the second driver being used to drive the limiting member to extend or retract in the vertical direction to limit or release the bag opening.

[0041] Beneficial effects: The limiting component can hook the bag opening, thereby preventing the bag opening from springing back. After excretion is completed, the second driver drives the limiting component to retract, thereby releasing the bag opening and causing it to spring back and close.

[0042] In one alternative embodiment, a sealing assembly is further included, the sealing assembly comprising an mounting ring, a closing clip, and a heater, the mounting ring being disposed at the toilet opening, the closing clip being a plurality of clips rotatably disposed on the mounting ring, the plurality of closing clips being arranged at circumferential intervals along the mounting ring, and the heater being used to heat the closing clips to heat-seal the collection bag.

[0043] Beneficial effects: After the fixing component releases the bag opening, the sealing component can further close the bag opening based on the rebound of the collection bag itself, and heat the bag opening through the heater to achieve heat fusion sealing, thereby eliminating the step of manually binding the collection bag and further realizing the automation of the toilet.

[0044] Secondly, the present invention also provides a laying method, wherein the laying method uses the toilet provided by the present invention, the laying method comprising: opening the toilet lid, placing the collection bag on the laying component; closing the toilet lid, the laying component opening the collection bag, and the fixing component fixing the opening of the collection bag.

[0045] Beneficial effects: The laying method provided by this invention uses the toilet provided by this invention, and therefore has the corresponding beneficial effects brought by the toilet, which will not be elaborated here. Attached Figure Description

[0058] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0059] It should be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular exemplary embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "a," "an," and "comprising" as used herein may also mean including the plural forms. The terms "comprising," "including," and "having" are inclusive and therefore indicate the presence of the stated features, elements, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, elements, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0060] Although terms such as "first," "second," etc., may be used in this document to describe multiple elements, components, regions, layers, and / or segments, these elements, components, regions, layers, and / or segments should not be limited by these terms. These terms may be used only to distinguish one element, component, region, layer, or segment from another. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, terms such as "first," "second," and other numerical terms used herein do not imply order or sequence. Furthermore, in the description of this invention, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "set up" and "connected" should be interpreted broadly; for example, they may refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they may refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection via an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0061] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used in the text to describe the relationship of one element or feature relative to another element or feature, as shown in the figure. These relative terms include, for example, "end," "length," "inner," "outer," etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the mechanism in use or operation, in addition to those depicted in the figure. For example, if the mechanism in the figure is flipped, an element described as "below other elements or features" or "below other elements or features" would subsequently be oriented as "above other elements or features" or "above other elements or features." Therefore, the example term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations. The mechanism may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions), and the spatial relative descriptors used in the text will be interpreted accordingly.

[0062] There are various types of waterless toilets, including packaged, biodegradable, and incinerable types. Different types of waterless toilets require the use of collection bags 11 to collect excrement for subsequent treatment, while also ensuring the cleanliness of the waterless toilet itself.

[0063] In related technologies, the toilet seat 1 of a waterless toilet is equipped with a pair of material rolls inside. When the user presses the bagging button, the waterless toilet automatically unrolls the material rolls and heat-melts and welds the released material strip to seal the edges to form a collection bag 11. However, the material rolls and related structures may interfere with other structures inside the toilet seat.

[0064] For example, the high temperatures generated during incineration in incineration toilets can easily damage the collection bag 11 stored in the toilet seat 1. Furthermore, the incineration chamber 5 and related structures occupy space in the toilet seat 1, limiting the placement of the material roll. Using high-temperature resistant materials for the collection bag 11 would not only increase implementation costs but also make subsequent heat-sealing of the collection bag 11 more difficult. Adding an insulation layer between the incineration chamber 5 and the collection bag 11 would also increase costs and further reduce the internal space of the toilet seat 1, hindering the miniaturization and portability design of incineration toilets.

[0065] Therefore, the installation methods in related technologies have certain limitations and cannot be applied to some toilets, which creates some obstacles to their promotion and application.

[0066] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 9 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.

[0067] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 According to an embodiment of the present invention, in one aspect, a laying assembly 3 is provided, the laying assembly 3 including a base 301 and a plurality of telescopic members 303. The base 301 is used to be disposed on the side of the toilet seat 2 facing the toilet seat 1. The plurality of telescopic members 303 are disposed at intervals in the circumferential direction on the outer periphery of the base 301. The telescopic members 303 are capable of extending and retracting relative to the base 301 in the radial direction to expand the outer edge of the material.

[0068] It is understood that the material can be a collection bag 11, especially a collection bag 11 with an elastic opening that can automatically close (e.g., a collection bag 11 with an elastic band at the opening), and the outer edge of the material refers to the opening of the collection bag 11. The user first opens the toilet lid 2, places the outer edge of the material in a retracted state onto the telescopic component 303, then closes the toilet lid 2. The laying component 3 moves along with the toilet lid 2 to the toilet seat opening of the toilet seat 1. The telescopic component 303 extends radially outward, thereby opening the outer edge of the material and laying the material on the toilet seat 1. Finally, the toilet lid 2 is reopened, and the toilet can be used.

[0069] On the one hand, the laying component 3 can automatically open and lay the material, thereby reducing the user's operation steps and making the toilet more convenient to use; on the other hand, the laying component 3 is located on the toilet seat 2, and the user can directly perform related operations on the opened toilet seat 2 (including setting the edge of the material on the telescopic component 303), thereby reducing the user's psychological resistance and facilitating the promotion and application of the laying component. The laying component 3 can also be staggered from the structure inside the toilet seat 1 to avoid mutual interference between the structures, effectively improving the applicable scenarios of the laying component 3.

[0070] It should be noted that the number of telescopic components 303 determines the shape of the material when it is stretched. Optionally, in some embodiments, the number of telescopic components 303 is greater than or equal to 4 and they are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction, so as to stretch the bag opening more evenly.

[0071] In addition to the collection bag 11 mentioned above, the placement component 3 can also be used to place other materials in the toilet.

[0072] For example, some public toilets require disposable seat covers. In related technologies, users typically need to take the disposable seat cover from the box, unfold it, and then bend over to place it on the toilet seat. If the toilet seat is dirty, users may feel psychologically averse to this. By using the placement component 3 of this invention, users can first unfold the seat cover, slip it onto the placement component 3, and then close the toilet lid 2, using the placement component 3 to place the seat cover, thus overcoming the problems in related technologies.

[0073] In order to expand the material, in some embodiments, reference is made to... Figure 3 and Figure 4 The laying assembly 3 also includes a first spring 304, a first spool 305, and a first pull rope 306. The first spring 304 is disposed between the base 301 and the telescopic member 303 and is used to drive the telescopic member 303 away from the base 301. The base 301 includes a mounting chamber. The first spool 305 is disposed in the mounting chamber. One end of the first pull rope 306 is wound around the first spool 305, and the other end of the first pull rope 306 is connected to the telescopic member 303. The first spool 305 is used to wind up or release the first pull rope 306.

[0074] In the initial state, the first spool 305 winds up the first pull rope 306, causing the telescopic component 303 to retract to a position close to the base 301. Simultaneously, the first spring 304 is compressed by the telescopic component 303. After the toilet lid 2 is closed, the first spool 305 slowly unwinds the first pull rope 306. The first spring 304 gradually extends under its own elastic force, causing the telescopic component 303 to extend radially and spread the material. After the material is laid out, the first spool 305 winds up the first pull rope 306, and the telescopic component 303 retracts back to its initial state.

[0075] Using a first spool 305 and a first spring 304 to drive the telescopic component 303 to extend and retract simplifies the drive structure, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the laying component 3, so that the laying component 3 can be adapted to more toilet sizes, further improving the applicability of the laying component 3.

[0076] Understandably, the laying component 3 can drive the first spool 305 in different ways.

[0077] Exemplarily, in some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The laying assembly 3 is electrically driven. Specifically, the laying assembly 3 also includes a first driver 302, which drives the first spool 305 to rotate. Driven by the first driver 302, the first spool 305 can be flexibly controlled to rotate forward or backward, realizing the electric extension and retraction of the laying assembly 3.

[0078] Exemplarily, in some other embodiments, the laying component 3 is mechanically driven. Specifically, refer to... Figure 5 The laying assembly 3 also includes a first transmission mechanism, which is connected to the first spool 305 and the rotating shaft of the toilet seat 2. The first transmission mechanism is used to drive the first spool 305 to wind up the first pull rope 306 when the toilet seat 2 is opened.

[0079] Driven by the first transmission mechanism, the winding process and the opening process of the toilet seat 2 can be coupled together, and the telescopic component 303 can be automatically retracted when the toilet seat 2 is opened, making the operation more convenient.

[0080] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the first transmission mechanism includes a first gear set 307, a second spool 308, a third spool 309, and a second pull rope 310. The second spool 308 is rotatably mounted on the toilet seat 1. The first gear set 307 is driven by the rotating shaft of the toilet seat 2 and the second spool 308. The third spool 309 is rotatably mounted on the base 301 and is driven by the first spool 305. The second pull rope 310 is wound between the second spool 308 and the third spool 309.

[0081] Understandably, the rotation range of the toilet seat 2 is generally no more than 180°. By setting the first gear set 307, the second spool 308 can wind up the second pull rope 310, which in turn drives the third spool 309 to rotate, and then drives the first spool 305 to wind up the first pull rope 306. The first gear set 307 plays an amplifying role, thereby amplifying the rotation of the toilet seat 2 into multiple rotations of the second spool 308, which meets the winding requirements of the first pull rope 306.

[0082] In some embodiments, the first transmission mechanism further includes a one-way clutch structure and a second spring. The one-way clutch structure is connected between the third spool 309 and the first spool 305, and the second spring is connected between the third spool 309 and the base 301. The second spring is used to drive the third spool 309 to wind up the second pull rope 310.

[0083] During the opening of the toilet seat 2, the second spool 308 winds up and the third spool 309 unwinds. The one-way clutch structure causes the first spool 305 and the third spool 309 to rotate synchronously, winding up the first pull rope 306. During the closing of the toilet seat 2, the second spool 308 unwinds and the third spool 309 winds up. The one-way clutch structure causes the first spool 305 and the third spool 309 to disengage, and the first spool 305 remains wound up so that the first spring 304 can be released later.

[0084] One-way clutch structures can be made by purchasing standard one-way clutches that meet the requirements, or by designing a specific structure based on the ratchet principle.

[0085] For example, the one-way clutch structure includes a second spring, a first ratchet, and a second ratchet. The first spool 305 and the third spool 309 are coaxially arranged. The first ratchet is axially disposed at the end of the third spool 309 facing the first spool 305, and the second ratchet is axially disposed at the end of the first spool 305 facing the third spool 309. The second spring presses the first spool 305 against the third spool 309, so that the first ratchet and the second ratchet mesh with each other.

[0086] During the closing of the toilet seat 2, the third spool 309 is wound up, and at the same time, the first spool 305 is driven to rotate synchronously through the one-way clutch structure, so as to realize the winding of the first spool 305. During the closing of the toilet seat 2, the third spool 309 rotates in the opposite direction. The first ratchet overcomes the pressure of the second spring and pushes the first spool 305 away from the third spool 309, so that the first ratchet and the second ratchet disengage from each other, so that the first spool 305 no longer follows the third spool 309 in rotation.

[0087] In some embodiments, the laying assembly 3 further includes a switching mechanism for locking or releasing the first spool 305. During the closing of the toilet seat 2, the one-way clutch structure disengages the first spool 305 and the third spool 309, and the switching mechanism locks the first spool 305 to prevent the first spring 304 from rebounding. After the toilet seat 2 is closed, the switching mechanism releases the first spool 305, allowing the first spool 305 to rotate freely, and the first spring 304 rebounds to push out the telescopic member 303.

[0088] For example, the switching mechanism includes a button 311, a first link 312, and a third spring. The first link 312 is hinged to the toilet seat 2. The button 311 is located at one end of the first link 312 and is exposed through the toilet seat 2. The other end of the first link 312 is sleeved on the shaft of the first spool 305 and can move axially between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the first link 312 and the third ratchet on the shaft (located on the side of the shaft of the first spool 305) engage with each other, thereby locking the first spool 305 in one direction and preventing the first spring 304 from rebounding. When the button 311 is pressed, the first link 312 moves to the second position. On the one hand, the first link 312 disengages from the third ratchet, and on the other hand, the first link 312 pushes the first spool 305 away from the third spool 309, thereby releasing the first spool 305 and allowing it to rotate freely. The first spring 304 rebounds and pushes out the telescopic member 303.

[0089] Optionally, in some embodiments, the base 301 includes a plurality of limiting holes extending radially, the plurality of limiting holes being arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction on the outer periphery of the base 301, and the first spring 304 being inserted into the limiting holes.

[0090] The number of limiting holes matches the number of telescopic components 303. The limiting holes can play a positioning role, preventing the first spring 304 from falling off the base 301. In addition, setting the limiting holes helps to extend the length of the first spring 304, so as to make it suitable to use a first spring 304 with stronger stiffness and elasticity, ensuring that the first spring 304 can reliably push the telescopic component 303 to the target position.

[0091] Optionally, in some embodiments, the diameter of the telescopic member 303 is larger than the diameter of the limiting hole, and the shape of the side of the telescopic member 303 near the base 301 matches the shape of the peripheral surface of the base 301. In the initial state, the telescopic member 303 covers the base 301, thereby sealing the limiting hole and preventing moisture from the external environment from entering the limiting hole. This protects the first spring 304 and the first traction rope 306 and extends the service life of the laying assembly 3.

[0092] For example, the base 301 is cylindrical in shape, and the telescopic member 303 has an arc-shaped surface on the side near the base 301.

[0093] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the limiting hole is arranged circumferentially around the first spool 305, and the base 301 includes a wire passage hole communicating with the mounting chamber and the limiting hole, through which the first pull rope 306 passes and connects to the telescopic member 303.

[0094] The first pull rope 306 passes through the wire hole at the bottom of the limiting hole, passes through the first spring 304 and connects to the telescopic component 303, thereby making the layout of the first pull rope 306 and the first spring 304 more compact, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the laying component 3. In addition, the first spring 304 can also play a certain role in shielding and protecting, preventing the first pull rope 306 from being accidentally damaged.

[0095] Optionally, in some embodiments, the laying assembly 3 further includes a telescopic sleeve, one end of which is fixedly disposed in a limiting hole, and the other end of which is connected to a telescopic member 303. A first traction rope 306 passes through the sleeve and connects to the telescopic member 303.

[0096] Understandably, even with the first pulling rope 306 providing a certain clamping force, the first spring 304, with its relatively poor stiffness, is still prone to bending and deformation when its total length is large. This makes it impossible to accurately push the telescopic component 303 to the target position, and there is also the risk that it cannot be compressed and retracted after extension. While using a high-stiffness first spring 304 can solve this problem, the implementation cost will also increase accordingly.

[0097] By adding a sleeve, the sleeve can further protect the first traction rope 306. At the same time, the sleeve can also provide support to prevent the first spring 304 from bending and deforming during the extension and retraction process, ensuring that the laying component 3 can function reliably.

[0098] Optionally, in some embodiments, the outer diameter of the sleeve is smaller than the inner diameter of the first spring 304, and the first spring 304 is sleeved on the outside of the sleeve. On the one hand, this design helps to use a first spring 304 with a larger diameter and improve the stiffness of the first spring 304. On the other hand, the sleeve is composed of multiple sub-tubes that are sleeved in sequence, and occupies a relatively large space in the radial direction. Placing the sleeve on the inside also leaves more space for the installation of the sleeve.

[0099] Apart from Figures 1 to 5 In addition to the embodiment shown based on the first traction rope 306 and the first spring 304, the laying assembly 3 can also achieve the telescopic extension and retraction of the telescopic member 303 in other ways.

[0100] For example, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the laying assembly 3 further includes a slider 313 and a linkage mechanism 314. The slider 313 is disposed on the base 301 and is movable on the base 301 in the axial direction. The linkage mechanism 314 is connected between the slider 313 and the telescopic member 303 to convert the axial movement of the slider 313 into the radial movement of the telescopic member 303.

[0101] By employing a rigid linkage mechanism 314, the position of the telescopic member 303 is locked after the position of the slider 313 is fixed, making the position of the telescopic member 303 more accurate in the extended state.

[0102] Specifically, refer to Figure 7 The linkage mechanism 314 can adopt a design similar to the ribs of a folding umbrella. The slider 313 moves in the opposite direction closer to the toilet seat 2 so that the telescopic member 303 extends. This causes the telescopic member 303 to move in the axial direction away from the toilet seat 2 in addition to the radial movement during the extension process, so as to press the material towards one side of the toilet seat 1 and complete the laying of the material.

[0103] Similarly, the linkage mechanism 314 can be driven electrically or mechanically. In some embodiments, the laying assembly 3 also includes a second transmission mechanism for driving the pivot connecting the slider 313 and the toilet seat 2. The second transmission mechanism is used to move the slider 313 when the toilet seat 2 is opened to retract the telescopic member 303.

[0104] Driven by the second transmission mechanism, the extension and retraction of the telescopic component 303 and the opening of the toilet seat 2 can be coupled together. The linkage mechanism 314 is driven mechanically to automatically retract the telescopic component 303 when the toilet seat 2 is opened, making the operation more convenient.

[0105] In some embodiments, the second transmission mechanism includes a third pull rope 315, a second gear set 316, and a fourth spool 317. The fourth spool 317 is rotatably mounted on the toilet seat 1. The second gear set 316 drives the rotating shaft of the toilet seat 2 and the fourth spool 317. One end of the third pull rope 315 is wound around the fourth spool 317, and the other end is connected to the slider 313. The fourth spool 317 can wind up the third pull rope 315, thereby pulling the slider 313 to move. The second gear set 316 amplifies the rotation of the toilet seat 2, thereby amplifying the rotation of the fourth spool 317 into multiple rotations, satisfying the stroke requirements of the slider 313.

[0106] In some embodiments, the third pull cord 315 pulls the slider 313 toward the toilet seat 2, thereby extending the telescopic member 303. The laying assembly 3 also includes a fourth spring 318, which pushes the slider 313 away from the toilet seat 2, thereby retracting the telescopic member 303. The fourth spring 318 may be a tension spring (such as...). Figure 7 The invention does not limit the scope of the invention to the following, such as compression springs, etc.

[0107] In some embodiments, the placement assembly 3 further includes a switching mechanism for locking or releasing the slider 313. Specifically, the slider 313 may include a first engaging structure, and the switching mechanism is disposed on the toilet seat 2, including a second engaging structure corresponding to the first engaging structure. When the slider 313 moves to a side close to the toilet seat 2, the first engaging structure and the second engaging structure engage with each other, thereby locking the position of the slider 313. When the switching mechanism is pressed, the first engaging structure and the second engaging structure separate from each other, and the slider 313 moves away from the toilet seat 2 under the action of the fourth spring 318, thereby retracting the telescopic member 303.

[0108] Other possible implementation methods can be found in the relevant existing technologies, which will not be elaborated here.

[0109] In some embodiments, the material is a collection bag 11, and the end of the telescopic member 303 is provided with a groove for positioning the opening of the collection bag 11. The laying assembly 3 is used to open the opening of the collection bag 11 so that the collection bag 11 can be placed on the toilet seat 1. The opening of the collection bag 11 has an elastic ring (e.g., rubber band) that can be locked in the groove, thereby ensuring that the collection bag 11 is stably fixed on the laying assembly 3 and preventing the collection bag 11 from accidentally falling off during the bagging process.

[0110] In some embodiments, the base 301 is detachably mounted on the toilet seat 2, and a maintenance hole communicating with the installation chamber is provided on the side of the base 301 facing the toilet seat 2. During normal use, the toilet seat 2 covers the maintenance hole, and the first actuator 302 and other structures are hidden inside the installation chamber to prevent the external environment from affecting the lifespan of the first actuator 302. During maintenance, the base 301 can be removed to expose the installation chamber and its internal structure, facilitating related operations.

[0111] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 According to an embodiment of the present invention, in a second aspect, a toilet is provided, including a toilet seat 1, a toilet lid 2, a fixing component, and a laying component 3 provided by the present invention. The toilet seat 1 has a cavity inside, and the top of the toilet seat 1 is provided with a toilet opening communicating with the cavity. The toilet lid 2 is rotatably disposed on the top of the toilet seat 1 for covering the toilet opening. The laying component 3 is disposed on the toilet lid 2 for opening a collection bag 11. The fixing component is disposed around the toilet opening for fixing the opening of the collection bag 11.

[0112] The toilet includes the laying component 3 provided by the present invention, and therefore has the beneficial effects brought about by the laying component 3, which will not be described in detail here.

[0113] In some embodiments, the fixing component includes a second actuator 401 and a limiting member 402. The second actuator 401 drives the limiting member 402 to extend and retract in the vertical direction to limit or release the bag opening. The limiting member 402 can hook the bag opening to prevent it from springing back, and cooperates with the telescopic member 303 to complete the laying. After excretion, the second actuator 401 drives the limiting member 402 to retract, thereby releasing the bag opening and causing it to spring back and close, realizing the automatic dropping and recycling of the collection bag 11. With the help of the elastic ring's rebound and contraction, the collection bag 11 can automatically close the bag opening after release, preventing the excrement in the collection bag 11 from overflowing, thus eliminating the need for manual closing and sealing of the collection bag 11, further realizing the automation of the toilet.

[0114] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the fixing component is located within the cavity. It is understood that the toilet includes a toilet seat 6, which is rotatably mounted on the toilet seat 1 and located between the toilet lid 2 and the toilet seat 1. Placing the fixing component within the cavity avoids the fixing component occupying space at the top of the toilet seat 1, thereby making the toilet compatible with existing toilet seats 6 and facilitating the implementation of the toilet.

[0115] To further tighten the bag opening, in some embodiments, reference is made to... Figure 8 and Figure 9 The toilet also includes a sealing assembly 10, which includes a mounting ring 1001, a closing clip 1002, and a heater. The mounting ring 1001 is disposed at the toilet opening, and there are multiple closing clips 1002. The closing clips 1002 are rotatably disposed on the mounting ring 1001, and the multiple closing clips 1002 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the mounting ring 1001. The heater is used to heat the closing clips 1002 to heat-seal the collection bag 11.

[0116] After the fixing component releases the bag opening, the sealing component 10 can further close the bag opening completely based on the rebound and retraction of the collection bag 11 itself, and heat the bag opening through the heater to achieve heat-melt sealing, further reducing the risk of excrement spilling out of the collection bag 11.

[0117] Specifically, in some embodiments, both the sealing component 10 and the fixing component are located within the cavity, with the fixing component positioned on the side of the sealing component 10 closest to the toilet opening. When the laying component 3 expands the collection bag 11, the closing clip 1002 rotates outward and opens. When the fixing component releases the bag opening, the closing clip 1002 simultaneously closes inward, clamping the bag opening and sealing it. After sealing, the closing clip 1002 reopens, allowing the collection bag 11 to fall out.

[0118] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the toilet also includes a support component 7, which is disposed within the cavity and located below the sealing component 10. The support component 7 can support the bottom of the collection bag 11, thereby reducing the pulling force exerted by the bag opening on the fixing component, and also preventing the collection bag 11 from falling under the weight of the excrement when the fixing component releases the bag opening, thus preventing the bag opening from detaching from the sealing component 10.

[0119] In some embodiments, the toilet further includes an incineration chamber 5 for incinerating excrement. Optionally, in some embodiments, the incineration chamber 5 is located within a cavity and below a support assembly 7, the bottom of which has an openable drop-out opening aligned with the inlet of the incineration chamber 5. After the sealing assembly 10 completes sealing, the drop-out opening opens, and the collection bag 11 falls into the incineration chamber 5 for incineration.

[0120] Optionally, in some embodiments, the incineration chamber 5 uses microwave incineration to incinerate the excrement, thereby enabling more thorough incineration and reducing harmful intermediate products and excrement residues.

[0121] Specifically, the toilet also includes a microwave generator 8 and a power supply 9, which are electrically connected. The microwave generator 8 converts electrical energy into microwaves that are applied to the incineration chamber 5, thereby rapidly dehydrating and heating up the excrement within the incineration chamber 5 for combustion. Furthermore, the toilet also includes a shielding door located at the feed inlet. This door is used to open or close the feed inlet and prevents microwave leakage from the incineration chamber 5, thus improving safety.

[0122] In some embodiments, the incineration chamber 5 is further provided with an exhaust port and an air inlet, both of which are connected to the interior of the incineration chamber 5. The air inlet is used to supply fresh air to ensure that the excrement burns in an oxygen-rich environment, and the exhaust port is used to discharge the combustion gas products.

[0123] In some embodiments, a deodorization component is further provided downstream of the exhaust port. The deodorization component is used to remove toxic and harmful gaseous components from the exhaust gas. Exemplarily, the deodorization component can decompose the gaseous components through catalysis, or it can adsorb the corresponding components into the filter element through adsorption, and then treat them uniformly afterwards.

[0124] Thirdly, the present invention also provides a method for laying the toilet, the method of which uses the toilet provided by the present invention and includes the following steps:

[0125] Step S110: Open the toilet seat 2 and put the collection bag 11 on the laying component 3.

[0126] Step S120: Close the toilet lid 2, lay out the assembly 3 to open the collection bag 11, and fix the bag opening of the collection bag 11 with the fixing assembly.

[0127] The laying method provided by this invention uses the toilet provided by this invention, and therefore has the beneficial effects of the incineration toilet, which will not be elaborated here.

[0128] Optionally, in some embodiments, the laying method further includes the following steps:

[0129] Step S130: The fixing component releases the tape opening, and the fixing component cooperates with the sealing component 10 to close the tape opening and seal it.

[0130] Step S140: The support component 7 opens the drop port, allowing the collection bag 11 to fall into the incineration chamber 5.

[0131] Step S150: Microwave incineration of excrement is performed in incineration chamber 5.

[0132] Although embodiments of the invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
