Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bidet technology, and in particular to a folding structure for a bidet. Background Technology

[0002] A bidet is a device that washes the lower body area during defecation. It can be designed as an integral part of the toilet seat or installed independently on the toilet hinge. In the latter case, the bidet typically consists of a mounting plate on the toilet hinge and a mounting base integrated with the mounting plate. The mounting plate has several water outlets corresponding to different functions, while the mounting base has a water inlet. Multiple water channels are designed between the inlet and outlets, and a valve core is installed within the mounting base to control the water channel switching. Users typically control the valve core by rotating a knob or pressing a button on the mounting base, thus switching the bidet to different operating modes (such as self-cleaning, posterior wash, and feminine wash).

[0003] Generally, to facilitate the installation of bidets, the thickness of their mounting plate is limited to a certain range. To ensure sufficient installation strength even with this thickness limit, the mounting plate is typically designed with two retaining rings or holes for mounting to the toilet. The positions of these retaining rings / holes correspond to the mounting holes on the toilet for installing hinges, meaning the mounting plate's length essentially spans the entire rear end of the toilet. In other words, the mounting plate is a flat, elongated piece, resulting in a longer overall product length, larger packaging volume, and higher cost. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a folding structure for a bidet, which solves the problems existing in the prior art. It can realize the separate design of the fixed plate of the bidet, and can fold the fixed plate into multiple parts to reduce the length and reduce the packaging volume.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the solution of this utility model is:

[0006] A folding structure for a bidet is provided on a fixing plate of the bidet. The fixing plate includes a first plate and a second plate that are interlocked at their end faces, a flip-connecting block, a first rotating shaft, and a second rotating shaft. Both the first and second plates have mounting holes for assembling the bidet onto the toilet seat, and the interlocking surfaces of the first and second plates are respectively provided with a first groove and a second groove. The flip-connecting block is provided with a first shaft hole and a second shaft hole that are parallel to each other. One of the cross-sections of the first shaft hole and the second shaft hole is a circular hole, and the other is a slotted hole. The direction of the slotted hole is the same as the interlocking direction of the first and second plates. The first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft pass through the first shaft hole and the second shaft hole, respectively, and are respectively mounted on the end walls of the first groove and the second groove.

[0007] The first plate and the second plate are respectively provided with a first elastic buckle and a buckle groove on their insertion surfaces, and the first elastic buckle hooks in the buckle groove.

[0008] Preferably, a pair of first elastic buckles and buckle grooves are provided on both sides of the insertion surface of the first plate and the second plate, the first groove is located in the middle of the two first elastic buckles, and the second groove is located in the middle of the two buckle grooves.

[0009] Preferably, the end wall of the first groove is provided with a third shaft hole for the first rotating shaft to engage, and the end wall of the second groove is provided with a fourth shaft hole for the second rotating shaft to engage, and the fourth shaft hole is connected to the inner end wall of the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0010] The first plate and the second plate are respectively provided with a first round hole and a second round hole, and a fixing plate can be detachably installed in the first round hole and the second round hole; the mounting hole is provided in the fixing plate, and the mounting hole is a waist hole.

[0011] Preferably, the sidewalls of the first circular hole and the second circular hole are respectively provided with a first annular groove and a second annular groove; the circumferential surface of the fixing plate is provided with a plurality of second elastic buckles; the second elastic buckles hook into the first annular groove or the second annular groove.

[0012] After adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following technical effects:

[0013] By splitting the bidet's fixing plate into two independent parts, the first and second plates are detachably connected via a plug-in joint. A flip-connecting block is provided between them to maintain the connection. One of the pivot holes of the flip-connecting block is a waist hole, providing room for the plug-in joint of the opposing surfaces of the first and second plates. While ensuring that the flip-connecting block enables the folding function of the first and second plates, it avoids interfering with the plug-in joint. This allows the opposing surfaces of the first and second plates to achieve both plug-in and rotational joints, thereby enabling the bidet's fixing plate to be folded for storage during packaging, reducing its length, and ultimately reducing the product's packaging volume and cost.
