Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of bathroom seat technology, and particularly to a bathroom seat. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing popularity of age-friendly home design, bathroom seats, as a core facility to reduce the risk of falls in the shower, have been widely used in home and public bathroom spaces.
[0003] Currently, conventional bathroom seats are mostly installed by directly fixing them to the bathroom wall surface with expansion bolts. When it is necessary to inspect the support structure or replace functional parts, all fixing screws need to be removed one by one. This operation is time-consuming, and repeated disassembly and reassembly can easily cause the screw holes to strip and damage the wall surface, which greatly increases the maintenance cost, time and difficulty.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new bathroom seat to solve the aforementioned technical problem. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The main objective of this invention is to propose a bathroom seat that aims to improve the technical problems of long repair time, high maintenance cost, and high maintenance difficulty in the existing bathroom seat technology.
[0006] To achieve the aforementioned objective, the present invention provides a bathroom seat for installation on a metal wall panel in a bathroom, the bathroom seat comprising: A magnetic attraction assembly, comprising a first magnetic attraction component and a second magnetic attraction component; A support assembly for mounting on the metal panel; A housing assembly is provided on the outer periphery of the support assembly. The housing assembly includes a protective shell and a base. The base is mounted on the support assembly. A first magnetic component is used to be mounted on the side of the protective shell facing the metal wall panel and is used to attract the metal component. A second magnetic component is mounted on the top surface of the protective shell and is attracted to the base.
[0007] In one embodiment, the inner wall of the protective shell forms two opposing first support plates. The first magnetic suction component includes two magnetic suction components, one of which is mounted on one of the first support plates, and the other is mounted on the other first support plate. The magnetic suction component includes a plurality of magnets, which are spaced apart along the length of the first support plate.
[0008] In one embodiment, the top of the protective shell is bent to form a second support plate. The second support plate includes three connecting segments connected in sequence, with an included angle between adjacent connecting segments. A second magnetic component is installed on each connecting segment. The pedestal is provided with a metal profile, and the second magnetic component is attracted to the metal profile. The pedestal can cover the connecting segment.
[0009] In one embodiment, the support assembly includes a plurality of triangular brackets for being installed at horizontal intervals on the metal wall panel.
[0010] In one embodiment, the pedestal is provided with multiple connecting profiles that extend along the arrangement direction of the triangular bracket. The multiple connecting profiles are spaced apart along the arrangement direction perpendicular to the triangular bracket. Each connecting profile has a mounting groove extending along its length. The top surface of each triangular bracket has multiple mounting holes spaced apart along the arrangement direction perpendicular to the triangular bracket. The number of mounting holes is equal to the number of connecting profiles. Each mounting hole is connected to the corresponding mounting groove by a bolt.
[0011] In one embodiment, the top surface of the pedestal is inclined downward away from the metal wall panel.
[0012] In one embodiment, the outer edges of the pedestal are all arc-shaped.
[0013] In one embodiment, the bottom of the protective shell is provided with a fixing groove, and the bathroom seat also includes a light source assembly, which is sealed and installed in the fixing groove. The light source assembly is used to electrically connect to the power system in the bathroom.
[0014] In one embodiment, the bathroom seat further includes a water-blocking component, which includes a fixing plate, a mounting plate, and a water-blocking plate. The mounting plate is connected to the fixing plate and extends downward in a vertical direction. The mounting plate is used to install on the metal wall panel. Water-blocking grooves are formed at both ends of the mounting plate. The seat also forms a pressure block, which is positioned facing the metal wall panel. The top surface of the fixing plate abuts against the bottom surface of the pressure block. The water-blocking plate is connected to the fixing plate and extends upward in a vertical direction into the seat. The water-blocking plate is used to fit against the side of the pressure block away from the metal wall panel.
[0015] In one embodiment, the mounting plate is flush with the back of the pedestal, and the pedestal has an upwardly raised water-retaining eave on the side near the metal wall panel.
[0016] In the above solution, the bathroom seat is installed on the metal wall panel of the bathroom. The bathroom seat includes a magnetic assembly, a support assembly, and a shell assembly. The magnetic assembly includes a first magnetic component and a second magnetic component. The support assembly is installed on the metal wall panel. The shell assembly covers the outer periphery of the support assembly. The shell assembly includes a protective shell and a base. The base is installed on the support assembly. The first magnetic component is installed on the side of the protective shell facing the metal wall panel and is used to attract metal parts. The second magnetic component is installed on the top surface of the protective shell and is attracted to the base. Install a metal wall panel on the bathroom wall. After the metal wall panel is installed, pre-install the first magnetic component on the side of the protective shell facing the metal wall panel, and pre-install the second magnetic component on the top surface of the protective shell, completing the pre-installation of the magnetic components of the protective shell. Then, according to the positions of the pre-embedded metal parts, fix the support components to the metal wall panel with fasteners. Adjust the supporting surfaces of multiple support components to the same horizontal plane and tighten the fasteners to complete the installation of the load-bearing foundation structure. Finally, place the pedestal on the supporting surface of the support components and lock the pedestal and support components together with the connectors to complete the countertop load-bearing structure. Assembly: Finally, push the protective shell with the pre-installed magnetic components from the side or rear, aligning it with the exposed area of the support assembly, so that the protective shell completely covers the outside of the support assembly. When the back of the protective shell is close to the metal wall panel, the first magnetic component on the side of the protective shell facing the metal wall panel automatically generates a magnetic attraction force with the metal parts embedded in the metal wall panel, firmly adhering the back of the protective shell to the metal wall panel. Simultaneously, the second magnetic component on the top surface of the protective shell generates a magnetic attraction force with the corresponding position on the bottom of the base, firmly adhering the top of the protective shell to the bottom of the base. No additional locking screws are required to complete the installation of the entire bathroom seat.
[0017] The protective shell forms a bidirectional magnetic fixing structure through pre-assembled first and second magnetic components. Stable installation is achieved solely through magnetic attraction with the embedded metal parts and the base, eliminating the need for screw-locking structures found in traditional protective shells. When inspection of the support assembly's connection tightness is required, or when replacing integrated functional components on the protective shell, only an outward pulling force needs to be applied to the side of the shell. When the pulling force exceeds the sum of the attraction forces between the first magnetic component and the embedded metal parts, and the attraction forces between the second magnetic component and the base, the protective shell can be directly removed from its position, exposing the internal support components and connecting structure. The entire process requires no screw removal and no special tools. Once the inspection is complete... Afterwards, the protective shell is realigned with the support component and pushed in. It then automatically attaches and fixes itself via bidirectional magnetic attraction, quickly completing the reset. This fundamentally solves the problems of traditional bathroom seat maintenance, which requires removing all fixing screws one by one, is time-consuming, and can easily lead to stripped screw holes and damage to the wall finish due to repeated disassembly and assembly. Maintenance time is significantly shortened, and additional repair costs caused by stripped screws and damaged finishes are avoided, greatly reducing maintenance difficulty and overall maintenance costs. At the same time, the magnetic attachment installation method eliminates exposed splicing gaps at the joints between the protective shell and the metal wall panel and base, avoiding the additional risks of soap scum accumulation and water seepage at the traditional screw hole locations, further improving the product's lifespan and ease of cleaning.

[0025] With the popularization of the concepts of age-friendly and barrier-free homes, bathroom seats, as a core safety facility to reduce the risk of falls in the shower, have been widely used in home and public bathroom spaces.
[0026] As bathroom seat functions evolve, the number of components requiring integration, such as support structures, lighting, and waterproofing, is increasing, placing higher demands on installation structure and ease of maintenance. Currently, conventional bathroom seat outer shells often use screws directly fastened to the wall. When inspecting the internal support structure or replacing functional components, all screws must be removed one by one to expose the internal structure. This process is time-consuming and difficult, and repeated disassembly and reassembly can easily strip screw holes and damage the wall finish, significantly increasing maintenance costs and time, and hindering the widespread application of such products in high-maintenance scenarios such as renovations and rentals. Therefore, the applicant has researched a bathroom seat with a magnetically secured protective shell.
[0027] To achieve the above purpose, please refer to Figures 1 to 6 as well as Figure 8This invention proposes a bathroom seat 100 for installation on a metal wall panel 200 in a bathroom. The bathroom seat 100 includes a magnetic component 1, a support component 2, and a shell component 3. The magnetic component 1 includes a first magnetic component 11 and a second magnetic component 12. The support component 2 is installed on the metal wall panel 200 in the bathroom. The shell component 3 covers the outer periphery of the support component 2 and includes a protective shell 31 and a base 32. The base 32 is installed on the support component 2. The first magnetic component 11 is installed on the side of the protective shell 31 facing the metal wall panel 200 and is attracted to a metal part 201. The second magnetic component 12 is installed on the top surface of the protective shell 31 and is attracted to the base 32. First, a metal wall panel 200 is fixedly installed on the wall in the bathroom. After the metal wall panel 200 is installed, the first magnetic component 11 is pre-installed on the side of the protective shell 31 facing the metal wall panel 200, and the second magnetic component 12 is pre-installed on the top surface of the protective shell 31, completing the pre-installation of the magnetic components of the protective shell 31. Then, corresponding to the position of the pre-embedded metal part 201, the support component 2 is fixed to the metal wall panel 200 with fasteners. After adjusting the supporting surfaces of multiple support components 2 to the same horizontal plane, the fasteners are tightened to complete the installation of the load-bearing foundation structure. Then, the pedestal 32 is placed on the supporting surface of the support component 2, and the pedestal 32 is locked to the support component 2 as a whole with the connector, completing the installation of the countertop load-bearing structure. Finally, the protective shell 31, pre-installed with magnetic components, is pushed from the side or rear towards the exposed area of the support assembly 2, so that the protective shell 31 covers the outside of the support assembly 2. When the back of the protective shell 31 is close to the metal wall panel 200, the first magnetic component 11 on the side of the protective shell 31 facing the metal wall panel 200 automatically generates a magnetic attraction force with the metal part 201 embedded in the metal wall panel 200, firmly adhering the back of the protective shell 31 to the metal wall panel 200. Simultaneously, the second magnetic component 12 on the top surface of the protective shell 31 generates a magnetic attraction force with the corresponding position on the bottom of the base 32, firmly adhering the top of the protective shell 31 to the bottom of the base 32. No additional locking screws are required to complete the installation of the entire bathroom seat 100.
[0028] The protective shell 31 forms a bidirectional magnetic fixing structure through the pre-assembled first magnetic attraction component 11 and second magnetic attraction component 12. Stable installation can be achieved solely through the magnetic attraction with the embedded metal part 201 and the base 32, eliminating the need for the screw-locking structure of traditional protective shells 31. When it is necessary to inspect the connection and fastening status of the support component 2 or to replace the integrated functional components on the protective shell 31, only an outward pulling force needs to be applied to the side of the protective shell 31. When the pulling force is greater than the sum of the attraction force between the first magnetic attraction component 11 and the embedded metal part 201 and the attraction force between the second magnetic attraction component 12 and the base 32, the protective shell 31 can be directly removed from its covered position, exposing the internal support component 2 and connecting structure. The entire process requires no disassembly of any screws and no special tools. After maintenance, the protective shell 31 is realigned with the cover position of the support component 2 and pushed in. It can then be automatically attached and fixed by bidirectional magnetic attraction, quickly completing the reset. This fundamentally solves the problems of traditional bathroom seat 100 maintenance, which requires the removal of all fixing screws one by one, is time-consuming, and is prone to stripping screw holes and damage to the metal wall panel 200 surface due to repeated disassembly and assembly. Maintenance time is greatly shortened, and additional repair costs caused by stripped screws and damaged surface are avoided, significantly reducing maintenance difficulty and overall maintenance costs. At the same time, the magnetic attachment installation method ensures that there are no exposed splicing gaps at the connection between the protective shell 31 and the metal wall panel 200 and the base 32, and also avoids the additional hidden dangers of soap scum accumulation and water seepage at the traditional screw hole positions, further improving the product's service life and ease of cleaning.
[0029] The base 32 is made of non-slip material, which effectively prevents users from accidentally slipping due to wetness during use and improves safety; antibacterial ingredients are specially added to the material of the base 32 to further enhance the antibacterial protection effect of the surface.
[0030] The protective shell 31 is made of high-performance lightweight composite material with high-strength fiber as the reinforcing phase and high-performance matrix material, which is precision machined and has both excellent mechanical properties and significant lightweight advantages.
[0031] Furthermore, the top surface of the pedestal 32 is covered with an integrally molded flexible cushioning pad. The flexible cushioning pad is made of non-slip silicone material, and its surface is covered with dense, fine bumps. The edge of the cushioning pad is flush with and fits the outer arc edge of the pedestal 32, and the bottom is bonded to the top surface of the pedestal 32 with adhesive backing. At the same time, multiple transverse reinforcing ribs are embedded inside the pedestal 32. The reinforcing ribs extend along the length of the pedestal 32, with both ends extending to the left and right ends of the pedestal 32, further improving the structural bending resistance of the pedestal 32.
[0032] The flexible cushioning pad not only improves the tactile comfort when sitting and leaning, but also prevents the surface of the base 32 from being scratched when bath products are placed on it. The tiny bumps on the surface can enhance friction and reduce the risk of items slipping or people slipping when sitting and leaning on it. The internal reinforcing ribs can improve the structural strength without increasing the overall thickness of the base 32, and prevent the base 32 from bending downward in the middle due to its large span, thus further improving the durability of the base 32.
[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 3 as well as Figures 5 to 6 , Figure 6In the first embodiment, A represents the length direction of the first support plate 311. In one embodiment, the inner wall of the protective shell 31 forms two opposing first support plates 311. The first magnetic suction component 11 includes two magnetic suction components 111, one of which is mounted on one of the first support plates 311 and the other is mounted on the other first support plate 311. The magnetic suction component 111 includes a plurality of magnets 111a, which are spaced apart along the length direction of the first support plate 311. First, during the injection molding stage of the protective shell 31, two opposing first support plates 311 are integrally molded. The two first support plates 311 extend vertically and are located on the inner wall of the protective shell 31 near the metal wall panel 200. Subsequently, in the pre-assembly process of the protective shell 31, two magnetic chuck components 111 are respectively assembled onto the two first support plates 311. Multiple magnets 111a of each magnetic chuck component 111 are sequentially and spaced along the length of the first support plate 311, completing the pre-assembly of the magnetic chuck components and the protective shell 31. After the embedded metal parts 201 of the bathroom metal wall panel 200 and the finishing of the metal wall panel 200 are completed, the support components 2 are first tightened according to the position of the embedded metal parts 201. The fasteners are fixed to the bathroom metal wall panel 200. After adjusting the support surface of the support component 2 to be level, the fasteners are locked. Then, the base 32 is placed on the support surface of the support component 2 and locked together with the connector. Finally, the protective shell 31 with the pre-installed magnetic suction component 111 is aligned with the exposed area of the support component 2 and pushed towards the metal wall panel 200. After the protective shell 31 covers the support component 2, the multiple magnets 111a on the two first bearing plates 311 generate a uniform magnetic attraction force with the corresponding pre-embedded metal parts 201 in the metal wall panel 200, which firmly attaches multiple positions along the length of the back of the protective shell 31 to the metal wall panel 200. At the same time, the second magnetic suction component 12 on the top surface of the protective shell 31 is attracted and fixed to the bottom of the base 32, completing the overall installation.By setting two opposing first bearing plates 311 on the inner wall of the protective shell 31, and arranging multiple magnets 111a at intervals along the length of each first bearing plate 311, the adsorption force between the protective shell 31 and the embedded metal part 201 of the metal wall panel 200 is evenly distributed along the entire length of the protective shell 31. This avoids the problem of force concentration caused by the adsorption of a single magnet 111a and the easy lifting of the side of the protective shell 31, and greatly improves the installation stability of the protective shell 31. It will not loosen due to daily touch or vibration of the base 32. Meanwhile, the multiple spaced magnets 111a can be adapted to the design of protective shells 31 of different lengths. The attraction force can be adjusted by simply increasing or decreasing the number of magnets 111a on the first support plate 311 without changing the overall structure of the protective shell 31, making it more adaptable. During maintenance and disassembly, the attraction force of the multiple magnets 111a is evenly distributed. Only a uniform outward pulling force needs to be applied to the side of the protective shell 31 to overcome the attraction force of all magnets 111a and remove the protective shell 31 at the same time, without the problem of deformation of the protective shell 31 caused by unilateral force.
[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 3 as well as Figures 5 to 8In one embodiment, the top of the protective shell 31 is bent to form a second support plate 312. The second support plate 312 includes three connecting segments 312a connected in sequence. An included angle is formed between adjacent connecting segments 312a. A second magnetic component 12 is installed on each connecting segment 312a. A metal profile 321 is provided on the pedestal 32. The second magnetic component 12 is attracted to the metal profile 321, and the pedestal 32 can cover the connecting segment 312a. First, during the forming stage of the protective shell 31, the top edge of the protective shell 31 is bent outward to form an integral second support plate 312. Stamping causes the second support plate 312 to form three sequentially connected connecting segments 312a. Adjacent connecting segments 312a are bent to form an angle that matches the bottom contour of the base 32. Simultaneously, mounting positions for magnetic components are reserved on each connecting segment 312a. Subsequently, in the pre-assembly process of the protective shell 31, the first magnetic component 11 is first assembled onto the first support plate 311 on the inner wall of the protective shell 31, and then the three second magnetic components are... Part 12 is fixed to the three connecting sections 312a of the second support plate 312 respectively, completing the pre-installation of the magnetic components of the protective shell 31; simultaneously, during the processing stage of the pedestal 32, the metal profile 321 is pre-embedded or locked at the bottom of the pedestal 32 at the position corresponding to the second support plate 312, so that the outline of the metal profile 321 is completely matched with the three bending outlines of the outwardly bent second support plate 312; after the pre-embedded metal parts 201 of the bathroom metal wall panel 200 and the finishing of the metal wall panel 200 are completed, the support is first installed at the position corresponding to the pre-embedded metal parts 201. The support component 2 is fixed to the bathroom metal wall panel 200 with fasteners. After adjusting the support surface of the support component 2 to be level, the fasteners are tightened. Then, the prefabricated base 32 is placed on the support surface of the support component 2, and the base 32 and the support component 2 are locked together by the connector. At this time, the position of the metal profile 321 at the bottom of the base 32 is aligned with the preset installation position of the protective shell 31. Finally, the protective shell 31 with the pre-installed magnetic components is aligned with the exposed area of the support component 2 and pushed towards the metal wall panel 200. After the protective shell 31 covers the support component 2, the protective shell 31... The first magnetic component 11 on the back is attracted and fixed to the metal part 201 embedded in the metal wall panel 200. Simultaneously, the three second magnetic components 12 on the three connecting sections 312a of the outwardly bent second support plate 312 are respectively attached and attracted to the metal profile 321 at the corresponding position on the bottom of the base 32. The bent three connecting sections 312a match and fit the bottom contour of the base 32, and the edge of the base 32 covers all the connecting sections 312a and the second magnetic components 12 of the second support plate 312, with no structure exposed, thus completing the overall installation.
[0035] The three-section second support plate 312 formed by the outward bending of the top of the protective shell 31 can perfectly fit the irregular contour of the bottom of the pedestal 32. It can achieve a complete fit with the bottom of the pedestal 32 without the need for additional adapter structures. The second magnetic component 12 on the three connecting sections 312a can form an adsorption force with the metal profile 321 at the bottom of the pedestal 32 from three different angles. This not only increases the overall adsorption strength but also forms a multi-directional limiting effect, preventing the protective shell 31 from shifting or shaking when subjected to lateral forces, thus improving installation stability. The outward bending structure also further enhances the structural rigidity of the top of the protective shell 31, making it less prone to deformation even under long-term external impacts, effectively extending the service life of the protective shell 31. At the same time, the pedestal 32 completely covers all connecting sections 312a and the second magnetic component 12, so that no connecting structure is visible from the outside. This achieves a seamless connection between the pedestal 32 and the protective shell 31, which not only improves the overall aesthetics but also avoids the problems of dirt accumulation and water seepage in the splicing gaps.
[0036] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6In one embodiment, the support component 2 includes a plurality of triangular brackets 21, which are spaced apart in the horizontal direction and mounted on the metal wall panel 200. First, during the civil engineering or decoration construction phase of the bathroom metal wall panel 200, multiple sets of metal parts 201 are pre-embedded at intervals along the pre-set horizontal line for seat installation. The position of each set of metal parts 201 corresponds one-to-one with the installation point of the subsequent triangular brackets 21. The pre-embedding depth matches the final surface thickness of the metal wall panel 200, ensuring that the distance between the metal parts 201 and the metal wall panel 200 after the surface finish is completed is suitable for the magnetic adsorption distance. After the surface finish of the metal wall panel 200 is completed and accepted, the first magnetic component 11 is pre-assembled to the first bearing plate 311 on the inner wall of the protective shell 31, and the second magnetic component 12 is pre-assembled to the three-section second bearing plate 312 that bends outward at the top of the protective shell 31, completing the pre-installation of the magnetic components of the protective shell 31. Then, multiple triangular brackets 21 are sequentially aligned with the positions of each set of pre-embedded metal parts 201 and fixed to the bathroom metal wall panel 200 with expansion bolts. After adjusting the top support surface of all triangular brackets 21 to the same horizontal plane, the expansion bolts are locked. The 21 are evenly spaced horizontally to form an overall load-bearing foundation, with sufficient space reserved between adjacent triangular supports 21 for pipeline installation. Then, the prefabricated base 32 with metal profile 321 at the bottom is placed on the top support surface of all the triangular supports 21. The base 32 is locked to the support surface of each triangular support 21 with screws to ensure that the base 32 is evenly stressed. Finally, the protective shell 31 with pre-installed magnetic components is pushed from below towards the exposed area of the triangular support 21 towards the metal wall panel 200. After the protective shell 31 completely covers the exposed structure of all the triangular supports 21, the first magnetic component 11 on the back of the protective shell 31 is simultaneously attracted and fixed to each set of pre-embedded metal parts 201 in the metal wall panel 200. At the same time, the second magnetic component 12 on the three-section second support plate 312 at the top of the protective shell 31 is completely attached to the metal profile 321 at the bottom of the base 32. The edge of the base 32 completely covers the second support plate 312, with no exposed structure, thus completing the overall installation. Multiple spaced triangular supports 21 are used as the support structure. Relying on the mechanical stability of the triangular structure itself, the vertical load borne by the pedestal 32 can be evenly distributed to the metal wall panel 200, which can stably meet the load-bearing needs of various usage scenarios such as adults sitting and leaning against each other and placing heavy objects. The gaps reserved between the spaced triangular supports 21 can accommodate bathroom water supply and drainage pipes, power lines and other wiring, without the need to chisel the metal wall panel 200 for wiring, making it more adaptable. At the same time, the triangular supports 21 themselves are compact in structure, and the spacing can be flexibly adjusted during installation to adapt to pedestals 32 of different lengths, without the need for customized special support components, which greatly reduces material costs and installation difficulty.
[0037] Each triangular bracket 21 has two oblong adjustment holes on its vertical contact surface. The length of the oblong adjustment holes extends vertically. During installation, expansion bolts pass through the oblong adjustment holes to fix the triangular bracket 21 to the metal wall panel 200. The installation height of the triangular bracket 21 can be finely adjusted up and down through the oblong adjustment holes to accommodate minor flatness errors in the construction of the metal wall panel 200, ensuring that the top support surface of all triangular brackets 21 is always on the same horizontal plane, and preventing warping of the pedestal 32 after installation. At the same time, a reinforcing rib plate is welded between the vertical contact surface and the horizontal support surface of the triangular bracket 21. The reinforcing rib plate is a right-angled triangle, and its two right-angled sides are fully welded to the vertical contact surface and the horizontal support surface, respectively, further improving the structural load-bearing capacity of the triangular bracket 21, and preventing bending and deformation of the support surface even under long-term heavy loads. The waist-shaped adjustment hole reduces the drilling and positioning accuracy requirements of the triangular bracket 21. Even if there is a slight deviation in the pre-embedded point or drilling position of the metal wall panel 200, horizontal calibration can be achieved through fine adjustment without re-drilling and damaging the metal wall panel 200. The reinforcing rib further amplifies the mechanical advantages of the triangular structure, improves the load-bearing redundancy of the overall support structure, adapts to higher load application scenarios, and further extends the service life of the support structure.
[0038] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8In one embodiment, the base 32 is provided with multiple connecting profiles 322, which extend along the arrangement direction of the triangular bracket 21. The multiple connecting profiles 322 are spaced apart along the arrangement direction perpendicular to the triangular bracket 21. Each connecting profile 322 has a mounting groove 322a extending along the length direction of the connecting profile 322. The top surface of each triangular bracket 21 has multiple mounting holes 211 spaced apart along the arrangement direction perpendicular to the triangular bracket 21. The number of mounting holes 211 is equal to the number of connecting profiles 322. Each mounting hole 211 is connected to the corresponding mounting groove 322a by a bolt. During the prefabrication stage of the pedestal 32, multiple connecting profiles 322 are pre-fixed to the bottom of the pedestal 32. All connecting profiles 322 extend along the preset arrangement direction of the triangular bracket 21, and the multiple connecting profiles 322 are evenly spaced along a direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction. Each connecting profile 322 has a pre-formed installation groove 322a extending along its own length direction, thus completing the prefabrication of the pedestal 32. Simultaneously, during the construction stage of the bathroom metal wall panel 200, the mounting grooves are pre-embedded at intervals along the preset horizontal line for the seat installation. Multiple sets of metal parts 201 are installed, with each set corresponding to a specific installation point of the subsequent triangular bracket 21. The pre-embedded depth matches the final thickness of the metal wall panel 200 finish, ensuring that the distance between the metal parts 201 and the metal wall panel 200 after the finish is completed matches the magnetic attraction distance. After the metal wall panel 200 finish is completed and accepted, the first and second magnetic components 12 of the protective shell 31 are pre-installed. Then, the multiple triangular brackets 21 are sequentially aligned with the positions of each set of pre-embedded metal parts 201. After fixing the triangular brackets 21 to the bathroom metal wall panel 200 with expansion bolts, adjust the top support surfaces of all the triangular brackets 21 to the same horizontal plane and then lock the expansion bolts. Each triangular bracket 21 has multiple mounting holes 211 pre-drilled on its top surface, spaced apart perpendicular to the arrangement direction. The number of mounting holes 211 corresponds one-to-one with the number of connecting profiles 322 at the bottom of the base 32. Then, place the prefabricated base 32 on the top support surfaces of all the triangular brackets 21 and adjust the front and back positions of the base 32 to meet the requirements. At this time, the mounting grooves 322a of each connecting profile 322 are aligned with the mounting holes 211 of the corresponding triangular brackets 21. Insert the bolts from the bottom of the triangular bracket 21 upwards into the mounting holes 211 and then into the mounting grooves 322a of the corresponding connecting profiles 322. Tighten the bolts to firmly connect all the triangular brackets 21 and the base 32 into one unit. Finally, push the protective shell 31 with the pre-installed magnetic components onto the exposed area of the triangular brackets 21 and fix it with bidirectional magnetic attraction, thus completing the overall installation.
[0039] By prefabricating multiple connecting profiles 322 with continuous mounting grooves 322a at the bottom of the base 32, and forming an adjustable connection structure with the mounting holes 211 on the top surface of the triangular bracket 21, the base 32 does not need to be strictly aligned with the locking points when it is installed. It can be locked by simply adjusting the base 32 to the appropriate position along the length of the connecting profiles 322. This greatly reduces the positioning accuracy requirements for the installation of the triangular bracket 21. Even if there is a slight deviation in the installation point of the triangular bracket 21, the assembly can be completed smoothly, effectively improving the installation error tolerance. The multiple spaced connecting profiles 322 can distribute the load borne by the base 32 to multiple points of each triangular bracket 21, further improving the connection strength and stress uniformity between the base 32 and the support structure, and avoiding the problem of warping and deformation of the base 32 under local stress. At the same time, the continuous mounting grooves 322a can adapt to the installation requirements of triangular brackets 21 with different spacing and different numbers, without the need to re-drill holes for different specifications of base 32, making it more adaptable.
[0040] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the top surface of the pedestal 32 is inclined downwards away from the metal wall panel 200. By setting the top surface of the pedestal 32 to be inclined downwards away from the metal wall panel 200, during daily use, splashes of water and cleaning wastewater on the tabletop can naturally flow away from the metal wall panel 200 along the inclined slope, preventing water accumulation on the tabletop and preventing water from seeping into the metal wall panel 200 through the joint between the pedestal 32 and the metal wall panel 200. This effectively avoids the problems of long-term dampness and mold growth on the metal wall panel 200 and corrosion of internal support components, significantly reducing the risk of structural damage in humid environments. At the same time, the inclined tabletop guides water to drip naturally to the ground below, facilitating direct rinsing of the tabletop during cleaning. Residual water stains can also be quickly drained, keeping the tabletop dry without additional wiping, reducing the possibility of limescale and stains accumulating on the tabletop, and simplifying daily cleaning.
[0041] Please see Figures 1 to 5In one embodiment, the outer edges of the base 32 are all arc-shaped. By rounding all the outer edges of the base 32, performance is improved in multiple dimensions, including safety, aesthetics, and ease of cleaning. In daily use, the rounded, non-sharp edges completely eliminate the risk of bumps and scratches, making it especially suitable for slippery bathroom environments. Even if the elderly or children accidentally slip and bump into the edges of the base 32, the severity of injury is significantly reduced, greatly improving safety. The rounded edges blend seamlessly with the overall shape of the base 32, creating a softer, smoother visual effect and effectively softening the harshness of traditional right-angle bases. This makes it suitable for various decorating styles and enhances overall aesthetics. When cleaning, the rounded edges eliminate cleaning dead zones, allowing for smooth wiping without the problems of dirt accumulating in right-angle gaps or difficult-to-clean stains. This results in higher daily cleaning efficiency and prevents edge buildup and blackening over long-term use. Furthermore, the rounded edges distribute stress more evenly, reducing the likelihood of chipping or breakage when subjected to external impacts. This enhances structural durability, effectively extending the lifespan of the base 32 and further reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
[0042] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, a fixing groove 313 is provided at the bottom of the protective shell 31, and the bathroom seat 100 also includes a light source component 4. The light source component 4 is sealed and installed in the fixing groove 313 and is used to electrically connect to the power system in the bathroom. By opening a fixing groove 313 at the bottom of the protective shell 31 and sealing the light source component 4 in the groove, it is naturally blocked by the protective shell 31, and the light source structure is not visible from the outside. Only the soft light projected downwards can be seen. This achieves the function of bathroom floor lighting without compromising the overall simplicity of the seat. The lighting is soft and not glaring, and the floor area can be clearly identified without turning on the main light when entering the bathroom at night, avoiding strong light that may affect sleep. At the same time, it can also clearly avoid water stains and debris on the floor, improving the safety of nighttime use. Secondly, the sealing installation of the light source component 4 can completely isolate the bathroom from water vapor and shower splashes, preventing the light source component 4 from short-circuiting or being damaged due to moisture. It is suitable for the high humidity environment of the bathroom and greatly extends the light's lifespan. The lifespan of the light source is extended; at the same time, the light source component 4 is integrated into the protective shell 31, eliminating the need for additional slotting and wiring in the metal wall panel 200. It can be connected to the power system in the bathroom, significantly improving installation convenience. During later maintenance, the light source component 4 can be inspected and replaced simply by removing the protective shell 31, without damaging the metal wall panel 200 or disassembling the base 32, fully retaining the core advantage of easy disassembly of the magnetic protective shell 31; in addition, the light projected from the bottom can outline the bottom contour of the seat, which not only enhances the atmosphere of the space but also serves as a warning, preventing people from accidentally kicking the edge of the seat when walking at night, further improving safety and user experience. Functional upgrades can be achieved without the need for additional independent lighting equipment, resulting in lower overall costs.
[0043] The inner wall of the protective shell 31 has multiple snap-fit cable trays corresponding to the gaps between adjacent triangular brackets 21. These cable trays extend along the length of the protective shell 31, with their openings facing the triangular brackets 21. They can neatly store the power cord of the light source assembly 4 and the wiring of subsequent expansion modules, preventing messy hanging and contact with moisture. Simultaneously, both ends of the protective shell 31 have detachable end caps. These end caps are snapped into place on the sides of the protective shell 31 and have pre-drilled, knockable cable routing holes, facilitating cable routing from the side to the power supply of the metal wall panel 200. The built-in cable trays provide neat cable management, preventing exposed cables from affecting aesthetics and reducing the risk of long-term moisture aging. The knockable cable routing holes eliminate the need for additional drilling to accommodate different wiring needs, and the detachable end caps facilitate future cable inspection and adjustment, further enhancing the structure's expandability and maintenance convenience.
[0044] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 9In one embodiment, the bathroom seat 100 further includes a water-blocking component 5, which includes a fixing plate 51, a mounting plate 52, and a water-blocking plate 53. The mounting plate 52 is connected to the fixing plate 51 and extends downward in a vertical direction. The mounting plate 52 is used to install on the metal wall panel 200. Water-blocking grooves 521 are provided at both ends of the mounting plate 52. The seat 32 also forms a pressure block 323, which is used to face the metal wall panel 200. The top surface of the fixing plate 51 abuts against the bottom surface of the pressure block 323. The water-blocking plate 53 is connected to the fixing plate 51 and extends upward in a vertical direction into the seat 32. The water-blocking plate 53 is used to fit against the side of the pressure block 323 away from the metal wall panel 200. After installation, the bottom surface of the pressure block 323 on the side of the base 32 facing the metal wall panel 200 abuts tightly against the top surface of the fixing plate 51, forming the first water-blocking structure, which can prevent water flowing down the table from seeping into the top joint between the base 32 and the water-blocking component 5; the upward-extending water-blocking plate 53 and the side of the pressure block 323 facing away from the metal wall panel 200 are completely fitted together, forming the second vertical water-blocking structure, which can prevent water splashed on the inside of the base 32 from seeping into the metal wall panel 200, and guide the water flow completely to the base 32. 2. The water is discharged from the outside of the countertop; the mounting plate 52, which extends vertically downward and is installed on the metal wall panel 200, serves as the overall support base. The water-blocking grooves 521 at both ends can intercept the water vapor and seeping water flowing along the surface of the mounting plate 52, preventing the water from spreading to the sides along the two ends of the mounting plate 52 and seeping into the gaps of the metal wall panel 200. Together with the fixing plate 51 and the water baffle 53, they form a wrap-around sealed water-blocking system, completely cutting off the path of water seeping into the interior from the joint between the base 32 and the metal wall panel 200. This structure achieves stable waterproofing without the need for adhesive, avoiding the problems of yellowing, cracking, and peeling that traditional glass glue causes to fail after long-term use. It also prevents the metal panel 200 from becoming damp and moldy, and the internal supporting components from corroding over time. Furthermore, the entire water-blocking component 5 is completely concealed within the connection area between the base 32 and the metal panel 200, with no exposed external structure, thus preserving the overall aesthetics of the platform. During installation, simply fix the mounting plate 52 to the metal panel 200, then place the base 32 so that the pressure block 323 naturally fits against the fixing plate 51 and the water-blocking plate 53 to complete the assembly. No complex sealing construction is required. For later maintenance, simply remove the protective shell 31 to inspect the condition of the water-blocking component 5. This significantly improves adaptability and ease of installation, effectively reducing waterproofing construction costs and long-term maintenance costs.
[0045] The mounting plate 52 of the water-blocking component 5 is coated with a structural adhesive layer on the side facing the metal wall panel 200. The mounting plate 52 also features multiple suction cups. During installation, the metal wall panel 200 is first cleaned, and the mounting plate 52 is pressed and adhered to the designated position on the metal wall panel 200. The suction cups provide temporary fixation, which becomes permanent after the structural adhesive cures. This eliminates the need for drilling holes in the metal wall panel 200, making it suitable for bathroom renovations and avoiding damage to the original finish of the metal wall panel 200. Furthermore, an integrally formed water-guiding slope is provided at the junction of the top of the mounting plate 52 and the fixing plate 51. This slope faces outwards from the base 32. If a small amount of water seeps into the junction area, it can flow back along the slope to the outside of the base 32 and drain out, further enhancing waterproofing reliability. The nail-free installation method is suitable for the renovation needs of existing bathrooms. The seat can be added without damaging the original decoration, which reduces the difficulty and cost of the renovation construction. The water-guiding slope further fills the seepage gaps at the joints, forming a more complete waterproof closed loop and further improving the reliability of the water-blocking structure.
[0046] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4In one embodiment, the mounting plate 52 is flush with the back of the pedestal 32, and the pedestal 32 has an upward-raised water-retaining eaves 324 on the side near the metal wall panel 200. The combination of the flush back of the mounting plate 52 and the upward-raised water-retaining eaves 324 on the inner side of the pedestal 32 creates a layered and synergistic waterproof structure, further enhancing the water-retaining performance at the junction of the pedestal 32 and the metal wall panel 200. When water is blocked, the upward-raised water-retaining eaves 324 on the side of the pedestal 32 near the metal wall panel 200 acts as the first water-receiving barrier, directly preventing water accumulation and splashing from flowing towards the metal wall panel 200, completely confining the water flow to the surface area and guiding it outwards. The side discharge prevents water from directly washing over the joint between the base 32 and the metal wall panel 200. The mounting plate 52, which is flush with the back of the base 32, can fit completely against the back of the base 32 and the metal wall panel 200 without leaving any gaps, forming a second sealing and water-blocking layer. Even if a small amount of water overflows the water-blocking eaves 324, it will be blocked by the flat and fitted mounting plate 52 and will not be able to seep into the interior of the metal wall panel 200. At the same time, the flat structure also avoids the existence of stepped gaps, so that water will not accumulate or dirt will be trapped. This structure requires no additional sealant, blocking water seepage from the structural level and completely avoiding the problems of traditional sealant waterproofing such as aging, failure, yellowing, and blackening. It maintains a stable waterproof effect even in humid environments, effectively preventing the metal wall panel 200 from getting damp and internal components from corroding. At the same time, the water-retaining eaves 324 and the base 32 are integrally formed, and the mounting plate 52 is naturally flush with the back of the base 32. The overall appearance is clean and without any superfluous structures. It does not affect the usable space of the base 32 and can be adapted to various decoration styles. No additional adjustment is required during installation. Simply place the base 32 as usual to automatically form a water-retaining structure, greatly improving installation efficiency. During daily cleaning, the joint between the water-retaining eaves 324 and the base 32 can be wiped smoothly without cleaning dead corners, effectively reducing the difficulty of daily maintenance.
