[0034] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0035] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.
[0036] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0037] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 10 The implementation of the toilet shaft connection structure proposed in the embodiment of the utility model is described in detail.
[0038] According to the toilet shaft connection structure of the embodiment of the utility model, it includes: an insertion shaft 1 and a hinge 2.
[0039] Specifically, the plug-in shaft 1 is installed on the movement cover 3, and at least one first conductor 11 is arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the plug-in shaft 1; the hinge 2 has a sleeve 21 and a first rotating shaft 22, and the first rotating shaft 22 is provided with at least one second conductor 221 outward along its axis, and the first rotating shaft 22 can drive the second conductor 221 to rotate synchronously, and the sleeve 21 has a first connecting hole 211 and at least one third conductor 212, and the first connecting hole 211 can be inserted into the plug-in shaft 1 so that the third conductor 212 can correspond to the second conductor 221 and the first conductor 11 one by one, and when the first rotating shaft 22 drives the second conductor 221 to rotate, the second conductor 221 remains in contact with the third conductor 212.
[0040] That is to say, the electric control part under the movement cover 3 is electrically connected to the first conductor 11 of the plug shaft 1, the seat ring 4 can be connected to the first rotating shaft 22 to drive the first rotating shaft 22 to rotate synchronously, and the electrical appliances of the seat ring 4 are electrically connected to the second conductor 221. When the seat ring 4 needs to be installed on the movement cover 3, the first connecting hole 211 of the sleeve 21 is aligned with the plug shaft 1 and inserted, thereby realizing the mechanical connection between the seat ring 4 and the movement cover 3. At the same time, the third conductor 212 on the sleeve 21 is connected to the first conductor 11 and the second conductor 221. The first conductor 11 and the second conductor 221 are in contact with each other, so that an electrical connection is formed between the first conductor 11 and the second conductor 221, and when the seat ring 4 flips over, the first conductor 11 maintains static contact with the third conductor 212, and the second conductor 221 follows the flipping of the seat ring 4 and maintains a dynamic connection with the third conductor 212 in rotation, thereby forming an electrical connection between the electrical appliances of the seat ring 4 and the electrical control part under the movement cover 3 to meet the power supply and signal transmission requirements of the electrical appliances of the seat ring 4. The connection is reliable, avoiding the problem that the traditional wire connection is easily damaged at the rotating joint and the wiring is troublesome.
[0041] Thus, by the hole-axis cooperation between the plug shaft 1 and the first connecting hole 211 of the hinge 2, the first conductor 11 on the plug shaft 1 and the second conductor 221 of the first rotating shaft 22 are synchronously abutted against the third conductor 212, so that the first rotating shaft 22 and the plug shaft 1 are electrically connected, and the mechanical connection between the first rotating shaft 22 and the plug shaft 1 is synchronously realized. When the seat ring 4 is flipped, the seat ring 4 drives the second conductor 221 to rotate synchronously, and the second conductor 221 always keeps abutting against the third conductor 212, thereby facilitating the connection between the electrical appliances on the seat ring 4 and the electrical control part under the movement cover 3. The toilet shaft connection structure integrates the electrical connection function and the mechanical connection function, and has reliable connection and long service life.
[0042] To maintain the abutment between the second conductor 221, the third conductor 212 and the first conductor 11, the third conductor 212 elastically abuts against the second conductor 221 and / or the first conductor 11. It can be understood that, by elastically abutting the third conductor 212 and the second conductor 221 and / or the first conductor 11, there is an elastic abutment force between the third conductor 212 and the second conductor 221 and / or the first conductor 11, thereby ensuring the reliability of the abutment between the third conductor 212 and the second conductor 221 and the first conductor 11. Among them, the third conductor 212 can be an elastic conductor, such as a conductive spring, a bent elastic sheet, etc. In addition, the second conductor 221 can be connected with a spring to facilitate the elastic contact between the third conductor 212 and the second conductor 221.
[0043] As for the third conductor 212, the third conductor 212 includes two abutting members 2121, and the two abutting members 2121 elastically abut the first conductor 11 and the second conductor 221 one by one. It can be understood that since the third conductor 212 is between the first conductor 11 and the second conductor 221, the abutting members 2121 elastically abut the first conductor 11 and the second conductor 221 one by one, so that the contact between the third conductor 212 and the first conductor 11 and the second conductor 221 is more reliable, and it is also convenient for the third conductor 212 to have an elastic avoidance effect with the first conductor 11 and the second conductor 221 during the process of matching and installing the first connecting hole 211 and the plug shaft 1, so as to facilitate assembly. Among them, the abutting member 2121 can be set as a conductor with a circular arc or chamfer, so as to facilitate elastic avoidance during installation.
[0044] For the installation of the abutment member 2121 , the third conductor 212 further includes a hollow connection column 2122 , and two abutment members 2121 are disposed at two ends of the connection column 2122 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the two abutment members 2121 can be elastically telescopically disposed. It can be understood that, through the setting of the connecting column 2122, it is convenient to install the abutment 2121 in the connecting column 2122, so that the abutment 2121 has an elastic expansion and contraction function in the connecting column 2122, thereby facilitating elastic contact with the first conductor 11 and the second conductor 221, and at the same time facilitating the abutment 2121 and the connecting column 2122 to form a whole, which is convenient for assembly with the sleeve 21; wherein, a spring can be arranged in the connecting column 2122, one end of the spring abuts against one abutment 2121, and the other end of the spring abuts against another abutment 2121, and the two ends of the hollow part of the connecting column 2122 can be arranged in a constricted shape, so as to facilitate limiting the abutment 2121 in the hollow part of the connecting column 2122, and the connecting column 2122 can be a conductive material or a non-conductive material.
[0045] As for the shape of the abutment member 2121, the abutment member 2121 is a ball. It can be understood that the ball can be easily rolled during the contact between the ball and the first conductor 11 and the second conductor 221, so as to reduce the friction between the third conductor 212 and the first conductor 11 and the second conductor 221, thereby avoiding loss or scratches caused by friction. At the same time, when the seat ring 4 is turned over, the loss or scratches caused by friction between the second conductor 221 and the third conductor 212 can be reduced.
[0046] For the installation of the third conductor 212 and the sleeve 21, the sleeve 21 is provided with a second connection hole 213, and the second connection hole 213 penetrates from one end surface of the sleeve 21 to the first connection hole 211, and the third conductor 212 is inserted into the second connection hole 213. It can be understood that the second connection hole 213 is provided to facilitate the installation of the third conductor 212 in the second connection hole 213, and at the same time, the abutment of the third conductor 212 with the first conductor 11 and the second conductor 221 is more accurate. Among them, the second connection hole 213 can be integrally formed on the sleeve 21, and a limiting step is provided in the second connection hole 213, and the limiting step is provided near the connection between the first connection hole 211 and the second connection hole 213, so as to facilitate the limiting of the connection column 2122, and the diameter of the connection between the first connection hole 211 and the second connection hole 213 is smaller than the diameter of the ball, so as to facilitate the ball to partially extend out of the first connection hole 211 and contact the first conductor 11.
[0047] For the installation of the second conductor 221, the first rotating shaft 22 defines a mounting groove 222, and the second conductor 221 is installed in the mounting groove 222. It can be understood that the installation and positioning of the second conductor 221 can be facilitated by the installation of the mounting groove 222, so that the second conductor 221 can be more securely installed on the first rotating shaft 22. Among them, the mounting groove 222 can be integrally formed on the end surface of the first rotating shaft 22, the innermost second conductor 221 can be in a straight shape, the outer second conductor 221 can be in an arc shape, and the second conductor 221 can be arranged in a fan shape, which is convenient for saving materials and setting multiple second conductors 221 to meet the power supply and signal transmission requirements of multiple electrical appliances.
[0048] For the installation of the first rotating shaft 22, the hinge 2 further includes a connecting member 23, the connecting member 23 is connected to the seat ring 4, the first rotating shaft 22 is detachably connected to the connecting member 23 so that the first rotating shaft 22 rotates synchronously with the connecting member 23, and there is a wiring space 24 between the first rotating shaft 22 and the connecting member 23, and the wires of the electrical appliances on the seat ring 4 are connected to the second conductor 221 through the wiring space 24. It can be understood that the installation of the first rotating shaft 22 can be facilitated by the provision of the connecting member 23, so that the wires of the electrical appliances on the seat ring 4 can be connected to the second conductor 221 through the wiring space 24. Among them, the first rotating shaft 22 and the connecting member 23 can be snap-fit connection, and the seat ring 4 is provided with a wiring hole, and the wiring hole is aligned with the wiring space 24.
[0049] For the connection between the electrical appliances of the seat ring 4 and the second conductor 221, the second conductor 221 has a connecting portion 2211, and the connecting portion 2211 is located in the wiring space 24. It can be understood that by setting the connecting portion 2211, it is convenient for the wires of the electrical appliances of the seat ring 4 to be uniformly electrically connected with the second conductor 221 through the wiring space 24, making the wiring more beautiful, and at the same time having the function of protecting the exposed part of the wire and the connection between the wire and the second conductor. Among them, the connecting portion 2211 can be extended from the outer peripheral surface of the first rotating shaft 22 to the wiring space 24, so as to form a larger space for the operator to perform welding and other operations. The connecting portion 2211 can also be directly extended from the back of the mounting groove 222 to the wiring space 24. The connecting portion 2211 is formed by bending the second conductor 221, and a hole is provided on the connecting portion 2211, so as to facilitate welding or locking of the wires of the electrical appliances with the connecting portion 2211.
[0050] Regarding the structure of the plug shaft 1, there are at least two first conductors 11, and the first conductors 11 are sleeved and matched with the plug shaft 1 layer by layer, and an insulating member 12 is provided between adjacent first conductors 11. It can be understood that by sleeved and matched with the first conductors 11 layer by layer, it is convenient to set multiple first conductors 11 on the plug shaft 1, so as to meet the requirements of multi-channel power supply and signal transmission. By setting the insulating member 12, it is convenient to insulate the first conductors 11 from each other to avoid short circuit. Among them, the top part of the plug shaft 1 can be used as the first conductor 11, and the remaining first conductors 11 can be connected to the top first conductor 11 layer by layer. The top first conductor 11 is installed on the movement cover 3 together with the remaining first conductors 11 through the conductive screws 14. Each first conductor 11 is then led from the bottom by the lead 15 to the electrical control part under the movement cover 3. A damping member 13 can also be provided on the plug shaft 1 to facilitate the damping cooperation between the first connecting hole 211 and the plug shaft 1, so that the seat ring 4 is connected to the movement cover 3. The damping member 13 can be a rubber ring, or the groove provided on the existing plug shaft can be used to cooperate with the protruding part on the sleeve 21 to make the seat ring 4 and the movement cover 3 To form a connection, the insulating member 12 can be in a hollow T-shape. Since the first conductors 11 are fitted together through socketing, there is a certain gap at the fitting position. The insulating member 12 is arranged in a hollow T-shape, which can facilitate the insulating member 12 to be inserted from the upper and lower ends of the first conductor 11, so that it can insulate the adjacent first conductors 11 in the vertical direction, and insulate the inner and outer layers of the first conductors 11, and eliminate the fitting gap between the inner and outer layers of the first conductors 11, thereby forming a more solid and better integrated plug shaft 1, and facilitating the rapid assembly of the plug shaft 1, and multiple wires can be arranged to meet the power supply and signal transmission requirements of the toilet cover or seat 4.
