[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 An embodiment of the utility model provides a toilet device, including a folding mechanical arm 1, a shielding cover 2, and a waste packing device 3.

[0045] One end of the folding mechanical arm 1 is used to be hinged in the trunk of the vehicle.

[0046] The shielding cover 2 includes a flexible cover 21, an annular base 22 and a telescopic support rod 23. The annular base 22 is arranged at the end of the folding robotic arm 1 away from the trunk, the telescopic support rod 23 is arranged on the annular base 22, the flexible cover 21 is arranged on the telescopic support rod 23, and the flexible cover 21 is arranged circumferentially along the annular base 22.

[0047] The waste packing device 3 is arranged on the annular base 22 and is located inside the shielding cover 2 .

[0048] The number of segments, size, and material of the folding robot arm 1 can be set based on actual needs and conditions. For example, the folding robot arm 1 can have two or three segments, and the number is not limited. In addition, the shielding cover 2 and the folding robot arm 1 can be fixedly connected by welding, integral molding, etc., or can be fixed by any detachable connection method such as screw connection, snap connection, magnetic connection, threaded connection, etc.

[0049] As described above, it can be seen that the toilet equipment provided in this embodiment includes a folding mechanical arm 1, a waste packing device 3 and a retractable shielding cover 2.

[0050] Therefore, when not in use, the size of the shielding cover 2 can be reduced by adjusting the length of the telescopic support rod 23, and the folding mechanical arm 1 can be folded, so that the toilet equipment can be placed in the trunk in a very small volume, reducing space occupancy.

[0051] When it is needed, the folding robotic arm 1 can be unfolded first, and the folding robotic arm 1 can be extended out of the trunk of the vehicle, and the shielding cover 2 can be placed in a suitable position. Then, the shielding cover 2 can be raised by adjusting the length of the telescopic support rod 23, and the flexible cover 21 can be used to block and form a private space for the user to enter, providing a hidden and private toilet environment.

[0052] Therefore, the toilet equipment provided in this embodiment has the advantages of privacy, convenience and small space occupation, thereby effectively alleviating the problem of using the toilet during long-distance travel, facilitating people's travel, and optimizing travel experience and travel comfort.

[0053] Among them, the specific structure of the folding robot arm 1 can be flexibly set. For example, it can be a 2-segment robot arm, or a 3-segment or more robot arm. The specific number is not limited.

[0054] In order to facilitate storage in the trunk of the vehicle, it is also convenient to set the shielding cover 2 at any appropriate position. Figure 3The folding robot arm 1 includes a bottom section 11 , a middle section 12 and an end section 13 .

[0055] One end of the bottom section 11 is hinged to the trunk, one end of the middle section 12 is hinged to the end of the bottom section 11 away from the trunk, one end of the end section 13 is hinged to the end of the middle section 12 away from the bottom section 11, and the shielding cover 2 is arranged at the end of the end section 13 away from the middle section 12.

[0056] The bottom section 11 hinged to the trunk can at least rotate horizontally in the trunk, the middle section 12 can rotate in a plane perpendicular to the ground, and the end section 13 can be a flexible hinge structure so as to be able to rotate in a horizontal plane.

[0057] Thus, by configuring the folding arm 1 to include a hinged bottom section 11, a middle section 12, and a terminal section 13, the folding arm 1 can be extended from the trunk at any angle and positioned on the ground at any angle. This ensures that the folding arm 1 can move within different planes, allowing the shielding cover 2 to be positioned at any position according to needs and environmental conditions. This allows for flexible operation and support for the flexible cover 21, greatly improving environmental adaptability. Furthermore, this facilitates the folding and storage of the toilet device in the trunk of the vehicle 4.

[0058] Here, in order to facilitate users to fold and unfold freely as needed, the bottom section 11, middle section 12 and end section 13 of the folding robot arm 1 can be a manually hinged structure, and the user can apply force to unfold the various sections of the folding robot arm 1 to the required angle.

[0059] In order to eliminate the need for the user to manually unfold the folding robot arm 1 and reduce manpower, the folding robot arm 1 can also be automatically unfolded. In this case, a driving device such as a hydraulic cylinder or a servo motor can be installed between the bottom section 11 and the vehicle trunk, the bottom section 11 and the middle section 12, and the middle section 12 and the end section 13. The driving device can then drive the bottom section 11, the middle section 12, and the end section 13 to automatically unfold and fold.

[0060] Among them, the driving work of the hydraulic cylinder can be achieved by the controller of the toilet equipment itself, or by the controller of the SOC system, vehicle entertainment system, etc. of the vehicle 4, and the implementation method is not limited.

[0061] If you need to live in peace of mind, the hydraulic cylinder can also be replaced by any kind of driving structure such as electric cylinder.

[0062] In order to form a stable and concealed toilet space and reduce the space occupied by the shielding cover 2 when not in use, refer to Figure 4 The telescopic support rod 23 includes a plurality of telescopic rods 231 and a connecting rod 232.

[0063] The telescopic rod 231 is disposed on the annular base 22 , and a plurality of telescopic rods 231 are disposed along the circumference of the annular base 22 .

[0064] A connecting rod 232 is provided between two adjacent telescopic rods 231 .

[0065] The number of telescopic rods 231 can be flexibly selected. For example, three telescopic rods 231 can be evenly spaced on the annular base 22, or two telescopic rods 231 can be arranged opposite each other on the annular base 22. The above method is only an example, and the number of telescopic rods 231 is not limited.

[0066] In addition, the structure of the telescopic rod 231 can be flexibly set. For example, it can be two or more mutually hinged support rods, or it can be a combination of sleeved support rods. Its specific structure is not limited.

[0067] For further information, please refer to Figure 4 The waste packaging device 3 may include a waste bag 31 and a waste box 32 .

[0068] The waste box 32 is disposed on the annular base 22 , and the waste bag 31 is sleeved in the waste box 32 .

[0069] The waste bag 31 and the waste box 32 are separate and replaceable. In order to fit the waste bag 31 and the waste box 32 together, the two can have the same shape. For example, the waste bag 31 and the waste box 32 can both be rectangular parallelepiped structures or any other three-dimensional structures.

[0070] In addition, the dirt box 32 can be provided on the annular base 22 and detachably connected to the annular base 22. The dirt box 32 can also be provided independently of the annular base 22. Alternatively, a dirt cavity can be provided on the annular base 22 to form the dirt box 32.

[0071] In order to prevent waste from splashing or leaking when using the toilet device, the waste bag 31 can be made of a multi-layer composite material with anti-leakage and adsorption properties.

[0072] For example, the waste bag 31 may include an anti-permeation layer, an anti-tear layer, and an absorbent layer arranged in sequence from the outside to the inside.

[0073] Among them, the anti-permeation layer can be made of any anti-permeation and water-leakage material such as polyvinyl chloride, thermoplastic polyurethane, nylon, etc., the anti-tear layer can be made of any material with high strength and damage resistance such as polypropylene, polymethyl methacrylate, cellulose acetate, polyethylene terephthalate, etc., and the adsorption layer can be made of any adsorbent material such as silica gel, activated carbon, adsorption resin, sponge, cotton, etc.

[0074] Based on the above structure, the waste bag 31 has the characteristics of rapid absorption, anti-penetration, and anti-leakage, so that it can quickly absorb and lock liquid, avoid leakage of waste, and ensure hygiene.

[0075] In addition, in order to prevent the waste bag 31 from falling into the waste box 32 or being difficult to unfold in the waste box 32, a structure for supporting the unfolding of the waste bag 31 is added to the waste packaging device 3. The structure can be flexibly selected and its implementation method is not limited.

[0076] In a possible embodiment, the structure can be realized by the cooperation of a hook and a hanging hole, that is, a hook is provided on the waste box 32 and a hanging hole is opened on the waste bag 31.

[0077] There may be multiple hooks, and the multiple hooks are arranged along the circumferential extension of the opening of the waste box 32. The number of hanging holes on the waste bag 31 may be the same as the number of hooks, or slightly less than the number of hooks, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0078] In another possible embodiment, the structure may be implemented by magnetic attraction. For example, the waste box 32 is provided with a first magnetic attraction, and the waste bag 31 is provided with a second magnetic attraction that cooperates with the first magnetic attraction.

[0079] Similar to the hook, there can be multiple first magnetic attractors, and the multiple first magnetic attractors are arranged along the circumference of the opening of the waste box 32. The number of second magnetic attractors on the waste bag 31 can be the same as the number of first magnetic attractors, or slightly less than the number of first magnetic attractors, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0080] In order to facilitate sealing of the waste bag 31 after use and to further improve hygiene and convenience, the waste packaging device 3 may further include a sealing device, a reel system and a transmission device arranged in the waste box 32 .

[0081] Wherein, the sealing device can be located in the dirt box 32 inside, for sealing the dirt bag 31. It can be a heat seal strip, which seals the bag opening of the dirt bag 31 by heating.

[0082] The transmission device includes a motor and a gear system to drive the movement and sealing operation of the waste bag 31. For example, after the user finishes using the toilet, the transmission device starts to roll the waste bag 31 into the sealing device and seal it.

[0083] A reel system may also be provided in the waste box 32, which may include two reels for storing and gradually releasing the waste bags 31, for example, one for storing unused waste bags 31 and the other for collecting sealed waste bags 31. The bags in the reel system are gradually pulled out and spread out at the bottom of the annular cover.

[0084] In addition, a sensing system can be set on the annular base 22, which can be a pressure sensor or a position sensor for detecting the user's departure. When the user's departure is detected, instructions are sent to the transmission device, sealing device and reel system to instruct the start of sealing and packaging.

[0085] Based on the same concept as the above toilet equipment, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 2 , an embodiment of the present utility model further provides a vehicle 4, including a trunk and toilet facilities.

[0086] The structure of this toilet device is consistent with the structure of the toilet device mentioned above, including a folding mechanical arm 1, a shielding cover 2, and a waste packaging device 3.

[0087] One end of the folding arm 1 is hingedly mounted in the trunk of a vehicle 4. The shielding cover 2 comprises a flexible cover 21, an annular base 22, and a telescopic support rod 23. The annular base 22 is located at the end of the folding arm 1 away from the trunk. The telescopic support rod 23 is mounted on the annular base 22. The flexible cover 21 is mounted on the telescopic support rod 23 and arranged circumferentially along the annular base 22.
