[0002] Nowadays, toilets generally come with toilet seat rings, which can improve the user experience when using the toilet and prevent direct contact between the human body and the toilet, avoiding contamination from the dirt on the toilet. With the continuous development of society, toilets have become very common in our lives. However, due to the generally fixed size of toilets, children with smaller body sizes usually cannot directly sit on the toilet seat rings provided with the toilets. Moreover, toilets are also equipped in many public places for people to use, but there are more bacteria left on the toilet seat rings for public use. Therefore, many people also do not like to use the toilet seat rings on public toilets. For the above reasons, folding toilet seat rings have become a product in demand.

[0003] For example, a child-proof folding toilet seat pad disclosed in the patent with the application number CN202022057865.5. Since there will be gaps when the folding toilet seat pad is folded, these gaps are likely to pinch users during use, thus affecting the user experience.

[0004] The prior art still has the following deficiencies:

[0005] 1. Since one side of the rubber pad is fixed on the front board and the rear board of the folding toilet seat pad, when it is unfolded, the rubber pad is likely to be misaligned or unable to completely cover the gap, which will also make the surface of the unfolded folding toilet seat pad uneven, affecting the user experience.

[0006] 2. A hinge structure also needs to be provided between the front board and the rear board of the folding toilet seat pad, which increases the production process and affects the production efficiency. Summary of the Utility Model

[0041] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, and the technical solutions of the present invention will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0042]

Embodiment 1

[0043] As Figures 1-4 shown, a folding toilet seat ring includes a left folding unit 1 and a right folding unit 2. The rear ends of the left folding unit 1 and the right folding unit 2 are hinged by a hinge seat 6.

[0044] The left folding unit 1 includes a left front plate 11, a left rear plate 12 and a rubber pad 4. Both ends of the rubber pad 4 are fixed on the left front plate 11 and the left rear plate 12 respectively, and a flexible connection is formed between the left front plate 11 and the left rear plate 12 through the rubber pad 4.

[0045] The right folding unit 2 includes a right front plate 21, a right rear plate 22 and a rubber pad 4. Both ends of the rubber pad 4 are fixed on the right front plate 21 and the right rear plate 22 respectively, and a flexible connection is formed between the right front plate 21 and the right rear plate 22 through the rubber pad 4.

[0046] The left front plate 11 and the right front plate 21 have the same structure, and the left rear plate 12 and the right rear plate 22 have the same structure. The left front plate 11 and the left rear plate 12 are only different in the set positions from the right front plate 21 and the right rear plate 22. Therefore, to ensure the simplicity of the specification, when the structures on the left front plate 11 and the left rear plate 12 are described in the following text, it can be regarded as describing the corresponding structures on the right front plate 21 and the right rear plate 22. When the structures on the right front plate 21 and the right rear plate 22 are described, it can be regarded as describing the corresponding structures on the left front plate 11 and the left rear plate 12.

[0047] When folding is required, by bending the rubber pad 4 at the joint of the left front plate 11 and the left rear plate 12, the left folding unit 1 can be brought into a folded state.

[0048] Similarly, a rubber pad 4 is also provided at the joint between the right front plate 21 and the right rear plate 22. When folding is required, by bending the rubber pad 4 at the joint of the right front plate 21 and the right rear plate 22, the right folding unit 2 can be put into a folded state.

[0049] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, a first connecting groove 41 is formed on the right front plate 21, and a second connecting groove 42 is formed on the right rear plate 22.

[0050] When a part of the rubber pad 4 is fixed in the first connecting groove 41 and the other part of the rubber pad 4 is fixed in the second connecting groove 42, a flexible connection is formed between the right front plate 21 and the right rear plate 22. Such a connection method can ensure that the rubber pad 4 is always flat in the first connecting groove 41 and the second connecting groove 42 in any state, so as to keep the upper end surface of the toilet seat ring straight and make users more comfortable when using it.

[0051] Both ends of the rubber pad 4 are formed with extension edges provided with crease grooves 43, so as to facilitate the bending of the rubber pad 4, and when the rubber pad 4 is bent, both ends of the rubber pad 4 will not be torn, improving the feel when bending the rubber pad 4.

[0052] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the crease groove 43 is located at the gap between the right front plate 21 and the right rear plate 22, so that after the right front plate 21 and the right rear plate 22 are folded, the end faces of the right front plate 21 and the right rear plate 22 can be ensured to be flush.

[0053] Furthermore, since the rubber pad 4 covers the left folding unit 1 or the right folding unit 2, and the upper end surfaces of the left folding unit 1 and the right folding unit 2 are usually arc-shaped to improve the comfort of users when using. However, if the rubber pad 4 is folded when it completely adheres to the upper part of the left folding unit 1 or the right folding unit 2, it is easy to tear both ends of the crease groove 43, thus affecting the overall quality of the rubber pad 4 and making the rubber pad 4 more likely to be damaged.

[0054] Both ends of the rubber pad 4 also protrude downward to form extension parts 3, and notches 44 are formed on the extension parts 3. The notches 44 are arranged at both ends in the length direction of the crease groove 43. Thus, when the rubber pad 4 is folded only at the position of the crease groove 43, it can prevent the positions at both ends of the crease groove 43 from being damaged or hindering the folding of the rubber pad 4.

[0055] As Figures 1-4 shown, one end of the extension part 3 protrudes to form a front anti-slip edge 33, and a front anti-slip pad 31 is formed at the end of the front anti-slip edge 33.

[0056] The front anti-slip edge 33 can be fixed to the lower end edge of the right front plate 21, and the front anti-slip pad 31 is fixed to the lower end surface on the front side of the right front plate 21.

[0057] Furthermore, a left fixing groove 13 is formed at the front end of the left folding unit 1, and a right fixing groove 23 is formed at the front end of the right folding unit 2. The front anti-slip pad 31 can be placed into the left fixing groove 13 or the right fixing groove 23 to fix the front anti-slip pad 31 to the lower end surface of the left front plate 11 or the right front plate 21.

[0058] The other end of the extension part 3 is convexly formed with a rear anti-slip edge 34, and an abutting part 35 is formed at the end of the rear anti-slip edge 34. The rear anti-slip edge 34 is fixed to the lower end edge of the right rear plate 22, and the abutting part 35 can abut against the rear end of the right rear plate 22.

[0059] A left anti-slip part 14 is formed on the left rear plate 12, and a right anti-slip part 24 is formed on the right rear plate 22. When the anti-slip sleeve 3 is sleeved on the left folding unit 1 or the right folding unit 2, the rear anti-slip pad 32 can be placed into the left anti-slip part 14 or the right anti-slip part 24.

[0060] When the user uses it, it is necessary to place the unfolded toilet seat on the toilet. The cooperation of the front anti-slip edge 33, the rear anti-slip edge 34, the front anti-slip pad 31 and the rear anti-slip pad 32 can effectively increase the friction force and effectively prevent the toilet seat from moving.

[0061] Specifically, as Figure 4 shown, it further includes a urine baffle 5, and a plug-in part 53 is arranged on the urine baffle 5. Plug-in holes 51 are opened at the front ends of the left folding unit 1 and the right folding unit 2, and the plug-in holes 51 are used to connect with the plug-in part 53.

[0062] The urine baffle 5 can guide the urine to the inside of the toilet, thus effectively preventing the urine from splashing outside the toilet, thereby eliminating the trouble for the user to clean additionally.

[0063] When the folding toilet seat is in the unfolded state, the plug-in part 53 of the urine baffle 5 can be placed into the plug-in hole 51, so that the urine baffle 5 is detachably arranged at the front ends of the left folding unit 1 and the right folding unit 2.

[0064] Furthermore, a connection hole 52 is opened on the front anti-slip pad 31;

[0065] When the front anti-slip pad 31 is placed into the left fixing groove 13 or the right fixing groove 23, the position of the connection hole 52 is aligned with the plug-in hole 51, so that the plug-in part 53 can pass through the connection hole 52 and the plug-in hole 51 at the same time. Thus, the plug-in part 53 of the urine baffle 5 can also play the role of fixing the front anti-slip pad 31 and the left fixing groove 13 or fixing the front anti-slip pad 31 and the right fixing groove 23.

[0066] As Figures 1-4As shown, a left hinge seat 61 is formed on the left folding unit 1;

[0067] A right hinge seat 62 is formed on the right folding unit 2;

[0068] By inserting a rotating pin through the left hinge seat 61 and the right hinge seat 62, the left folding unit 1 and the right folding unit 2 can be hinged together, enabling the left folding unit and the right folding unit 2 to be hinged to each other.

[0069] When the folding toilet seat is unfolded, the integrally connected left hinge seat 61 and right hinge seat 62 will protrude below the folding toilet seat, enabling the left hinge seat 61 and the right hinge seat 62 to abut against the inner side of the toilet seat to limit the movement of the folding toilet seat.

[0070]

Embodiment 2

[0071] This embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 1, the difference being:

[0072] As Figure 5 shown, a crease groove 43 is formed on the lower end surface of the rubber pad 4, so that the upper surface of the rubber pad 4 can be smoother and flatter, improving the aesthetic appearance of the product.

[0073] The above embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the protection scope of the present invention accordingly.
