[0030] In the following description, a large number of specific details are given to provide a more thorough understanding of the utility model. However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the utility model can be implemented without one or more of these details. In other examples, in order to avoid confusion with the utility model, some technical features known in the art are not described.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a vehicle-mounted toilet, which includes a base mechanism 100 and a body mechanism 200. The base mechanism 100 is installed and supported on a vehicle such as a motorhome, and the body mechanism 200 is connected to the base mechanism 100. The body mechanism 200 includes a cover plate assembly and other components. The body mechanism 200 belongs to the existing equipment in the field and will not be described in detail here.

[0032] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the base mechanism 100 includes a base body 110, a drainage module 130 and a switch assembly 120. The base body 110 is provided with an installation cavity, and the drainage module 130 is arranged in the installation cavity. The base body 110 is also provided with an opening 114 connected to the installation cavity and a boss 113 arranged around the opening 114. The boss 113 is provided with an opening 111. The base body 110 also includes a water retaining portion 112, and the water retaining portion 112 is transversely arranged at the opening 111. The switch assembly 120 includes a switching handle 121, which bypasses the water retaining portion 112 and extends out of the opening 111. The user can switch the drainage port of the drainage module 130 to open or close by switching the handle 121. Since the water retaining portion 112 is transversely arranged at the opening 111, and the switching handle 121 does not interfere with the water retaining portion 112 while passing through the opening 111, the switching handle 121 and the water retaining portion 112 of this structure can not only not affect the normal operation of the switching handle 121, but also effectively prevent the external water from entering the base mechanism 100 through the opening 111, and can prevent the related parts inside the base mechanism 100 from being damaged due to water ingress, and has a good practical effect. In addition, it should be noted that the main body 200 is provided with a toilet 210, the toilet 210 is provided with a sewage outlet 210a, and the drainage module 130 is provided with a sewage inlet 130a connected to the sewage outlet 210a. The drainage module 130 is used to store the sewage from the toilet 210. The user can control the sewage inlet 130a of the drainage module 130 to be opened or closed by the switching handle 121. The drainage module 130 itself belongs to the existing equipment in the field and will not be repeated here.

[0033] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the opening 111 is arranged along the circumference of the installation cavity, and the water retaining portion 112 is a water retaining plate arranged along the circumference of the installation cavity. It should be emphasized that the upper part of the water retaining plate extends upward along the height direction of the seat body 110, so that the height of the water retaining plate meets the actual water retaining requirements.

[0034] In addition, in this embodiment, the water retaining portion 112 and the seat body 110 are an integrated structure, which can effectively ensure the waterproofness of the contact position between the water retaining portion 112 and the opening 111, and prevent external water from flowing into the base mechanism 100 through the connection position between the water retaining portion 112 and the opening 111.

[0035] Of course, in other embodiments, the water retaining portion 112 and the base body 110 may be separate structures, and the bottom and both ends of the water retaining portion 112 are respectively sealed to the bottom and both sides of the opening 111, so that external water can be prevented from flowing into the base mechanism 100 through the gap between the water retaining portion 112 and the opening 111. Specifically, waterproof glue may be applied at the connection position between the water retaining portion 112 and the opening 111; or a slot may be provided at the opening 111 at a position corresponding to the water retaining portion 112, and the water retaining portion 112 is then sealedly inserted into the corresponding slot.

[0036] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the switching handle 121 bypasses the water retaining portion 112 upwards. Specifically, the switching handle 121 is provided with a "J"-shaped avoidance portion 121a, and the switching handle 121 bypasses the water retaining portion 112 in a manner that the avoidance portion 121a spans the water retaining portion 112. The switching handle 121 of this structure can not only bypass the water retaining portion 112 well, but also does not affect the normal operation of the switching handle 121.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the switch assembly 120 also includes a connecting rod 122 and a control valve 123, wherein the control valve 123 is used to control the sewage inlet 130a of the drainage module 130 to be opened or closed. Specifically, the switching handle 121 is hinged to the base mechanism 100 and the switching handle 121 has a handle exposed to the opening 111, the control valve 123 is installed on the base mechanism 100, and the connecting rod 122 is respectively connected to the switching handle 121 and the control valve 123. When the tool is operated, the working state of the control valve 123 can be switched or controlled by swinging the handle left and right, and finally the state of the drainage outlet of the drainage module 130 is controlled. It should be emphasized that in actual application, the drainage module includes a wastewater tank 131, and the control valve 123 is an electric control valve or a mechanical valve that controls the sewage inlet 130a of the wastewater tank 131 to be opened or closed. Of course, in other embodiments, the control valve 123 may also be a pump (not shown). Specifically, the drainage module includes a sewage pipe (not shown), which is provided with a sewage inlet, and then the sewage is pumped into the sewage pipe by a pump.

[0038] The vehicle-mounted toilet of this embodiment is provided with a water retaining portion 112 at the opening 111 of the seat body 110, and the switching handle 121 can bypass the water retaining portion 112 and pass through the opening 111, which can not only not affect the normal operation of the switching handle 121, but also effectively prevent external water from entering the interior of the base mechanism 100 through the opening 111. The structure and layout of the water retaining portion 112 solve the problems in the prior art with an ingenious and simple structure without changing the overall layout of the seat body 110 in the prior art, and has good practicality.

[0039] It should be understood that the multiple examples described above can be used in multiple directions (such as tilted, inverted, horizontal, vertical, etc.) and in multiple configurations without departing from the principles of the present invention. The embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings are shown and described only as examples of effective applications of the principles of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to any specific details of these embodiments.

[0040] Of course, once the above description of the representative embodiments is carefully considered, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications, additions, substitutions, deletions and other changes may be made to these specific embodiments, and these changes are within the scope of the principles of the present utility model. Therefore, the foregoing detailed description should be clearly understood to be given only in an illustrative and exemplary manner, and the spirit and scope of the present utility model are limited only by the appended claims and their equivalents.
