Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of waterless toilets, and in particular relates to a drawer assembly for waterless toilets and a vehicle-mounted waterless toilet. Background Art

[0002] RVs are called homes on wheels. It is standard to set up living areas and sanitary areas in RVs. The sanitary area is generally equipped with a toilet (toilet). The vehicle-mounted toilet is very different from the existing household toilet due to the particularity of its usage scenario. There are two types of existing vehicle-mounted toilets: flush toilets and waterless toilets. The most obvious defect of flush toilets is that the water source in RVs is limited, which increases the difficulty of using water. If the water storage capacity is increased, the volume and weight of the water tank will increase, which not only occupies the limited vehicle space, but also increases energy consumption. Therefore, vehicle-mounted waterless toilets came into being. For example, the existing patent application CN110913735A discloses a waterless toilet in a caravan, and specifically discloses that the waterless toilet is provided with a drawer, and the waterless toilet automatically packs the excrement and falls into the drawer, and the drawer contains the packed excrement. However, the existing drawers are easy to shake, and it is easy for the drawer to accidentally slide out, causing the waterless toilet to fail to use, and even the problem of excrement falling out.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a drawer assembly for a waterless toilet comprises a shell 1, a drawer body 2 and a locking structure 3. The shell 1 is provided with a receiving cavity 11 with an opening facing forward, the drawer body 2 is arranged in the receiving cavity 11, and the drawer can be pushed in and pulled out from the opening of the receiving cavity 11; the locking structure 3 comprises a locking tongue 31 and a driving element, the locking tongue 31 is movably arranged on the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 11, the moving direction of the locking tongue 31 intersects with the pulling-out direction of the drawer body 2, the drawer body 2 is provided with a receiving area 21, the driving element is used to drive the locking tongue 31 to move closer to or away from the receiving area 21, and when the drawer is pushed into the receiving cavity 11, the driving element drives the locking tongue 31 to insert into the receiving area 21. In this embodiment, for the convenience of description, it is assumed that the user faces forward when sitting down to use the toilet.

[0025] Specifically, in this embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the locking structure 3 is provided with two groups, and the two groups of the locking structures 3 are located on the left and right sides of the drawer body 2. The lock tongues 31 of the locking structures 3 located on the left and right sides can effectively clamp the drawer body 2, and the drawer body 2 will not shake or shift due to the shaking of the external environment, and will not be separated. Further, in this embodiment, the driving element includes an elastic member 32, and the lock tongue 31 is spherical so that the lock tongue 31 can roll smoothly along the two sides of the drawer body 2. The cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 11 is provided with a lock tongue hole 12, and the lock tongue 31 and the elastic member 32 are both arranged in the lock tongue hole 12. Further, in this embodiment, the outer side surface of the drawer body 2 is provided with a vertical convex rib 22, and the receiving area 21 is formed between the convex rib 22 and the outer side surface of the drawer body 2. The working area of ​​the receiving area 21 is large, which can better match the lock tongue 31, and the lock tongue 31 is easy to accurately insert into the receiving area 21 to achieve locking the drawer body 2. Furthermore, in this embodiment, in order to facilitate the assembly of the locking structure 3, the locking structure 3 also includes a limiting plate 33, the locking tongue hole 12 is opened through the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 11, the locking tongue 31 and the limiting plate 33 are respectively located at the inner and outer ends of the locking tongue hole 12, and the elastic member 32 is located between the locking tongue 31 and the limiting plate 33.

[0026] Specifically, in this embodiment, Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a first guide surface 13 is provided on the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 11, and a second guide surface 23 is provided on the drawer body 2. Both the first guide surface 13 and the second guide surface 23 are arranged to be tilted downward from front to back. When the drawer body 2 is pushed into the accommodating cavity 11 from the opening of the accommodating cavity 11, the second guide surface 23 moves along the first guide surface 13, ensuring that the drawer body 2 is conveniently and accurately pushed into the accommodating cavity 11 and pulled out of the accommodating cavity 11.

[0029] Here’s how it works:

[0030] First, push the drawer body 2 into the accommodating cavity 11 from the opening of the accommodating cavity 11. During the pushing process, the second guide surface 23 moves along the first guide surface 13, and the lock tongue 31 rolls in contact with the side of the drawer body 2. When the lock tongue 31 passes over the rib 22 and is inserted into the receiving area 21, the sensor is also triggered by the trigger member 26, and the drawer body 2 is pushed into the accommodating cavity 11 and into place. At this time, the lock tongues 31 on the left and right sides clamp the drawer body 2 to ensure that the drawer body 2 is reliably and stably installed in the accommodating cavity 11. After the drawer body 2 is pushed into the accommodating cavity 11 and into place, the sensor transmits the signal to the control module of the waterless toilet, and the vehicle-mounted waterless toilet can be used normally.

[0031] The above are only preferred specific implementation methods of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, who makes equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical scheme and utility model concept of the utility model, should be covered by the protection scope of the utility model.
