Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heightening equipment technology, and in particular to a children's heightening stool that is easy to store. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of children's bathroom products, children's toilet stools are key tools to help children use adult toilets safely, and their design needs to take into account stability, ease of storage, and adaptability to different scenarios. However, most existing products are limited in their usage scenarios and difficult to store due to their rigid, non-foldable structure, making it difficult to meet the needs of modern families for space utilization and portability.

[0003] Taking patent document CN209898812U, "Two-Step Elevated Stool," as an example, this patent discloses a stepped elevated stool that uses rivets to rigidly fix the footrest to the frame, forming a stable two-step structure. While this design performs well in terms of load-bearing capacity and deformation resistance, the permanent connection method of the rivets makes the overall structure completely non-foldable. For families with limited bathroom space, this type of toilet stool needs to occupy a fixed position for a long time, squeezing out limited space and affecting daily usage flow. In travel scenarios, its fixed size makes it impossible to compress and store, making it difficult to fit into suitcases or backpacks, forcing families to abandon bringing it when traveling or visiting friends, increasing safety hazards for children using adult toilets (such as slipping or unsuitable posture).

[0004] Specific problems caused by non-foldability include:

[0005] 1. Space occupancy conflict: Home bathroom spaces are generally compact, and non-foldable toilet stools need to be stored in a fixed area for a long time, competing for space with toiletries, cleaning tools, etc., reducing space utilization.

[0006] 2. Lack of portability: When going out, the product's fixed size and shape cannot be adapted to luggage size restrictions, making it difficult to carry and limiting the convenience and safety of children using the toilet in public.

[0007] 3. Limited functionality: Existing designs (such as CN209898812U) only focus on the height-raising function and do not integrate folding or height adjustment modules, so they cannot dynamically adapt to children's growth or different toilet heights, thus limiting their practicality.

[0008] In addition, although some improved designs attempt to optimize storage through nested structures (such as CN216089790U) or modular components (such as CN218390401U), the volume reduction after nesting is limited, and they rely on complex limiting structures, making operation cumbersome and difficult to achieve quick folding and lightweight portability.

[0009] Therefore, how to overcome the structural limitations of existing technologies and develop a children's toilet seat that can be quickly folded for easy storage while ensuring load-bearing safety and stability, and also integrate height adjustment to adapt to children's growth and diverse toilet sizes, has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content

[0010] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a children's raised stool that can be quickly folded for easy storage and carrying, in contrast to the above-mentioned prior art.

[0011] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is: a children's heightening stool that is easy to store, comprising:

[0012] Two side panels positioned opposite each other;

[0013] At least one support plate connected between the two side plates to provide a foot surface;

[0014] The folding assembly includes two opposing auxiliary support legs;

[0015] A limiting device is disposed between the side plate and the folding assembly;

[0016] The two auxiliary support legs are rotatably connected to the end face of the corresponding side plate, so that the folding assembly can switch back and forth between the unfolded state and the folded state relative to the side plate.

[0017] When the folding assembly is in the unfolded state, the limiting device can lock the folding assembly in the unfolded position, so that the auxiliary support foot can form a planar support structure together with the side plate;

[0018] When the folding assembly is in the folded state, the auxiliary support feet are attached to and stacked on the outside or inside of the side plate to reduce the volume occupied.

[0019] In order to enable the two auxiliary support legs to work together to achieve synchronous unfolding or folding actions and improve ease of use, preferably, the folding assembly further includes a connecting rod, the two ends of which are fixedly connected to the inner end faces of the two auxiliary support legs respectively, so as to synchronously drive the unfolding or folding actions of the two auxiliary support legs.

[0020] In order to meet the needs of children of different ages and expand the applicability of the product, preferably, the number of support plates is two or more, and each support plate is horizontally connected to different height positions of the side plate to form multiple stepped surfaces with vertical spacing.

[0021] To make the contact between children's feet and the step surface more comfortable and to make it more natural and convenient for them to go up and down stairs, preferably, the two sides of the side plate are respectively formed with an outer arc edge and an inner arc edge; the outer arc edge is an outwardly convex arc contour, and the inner arc edge is an inwardly concave arc contour.

[0022] The ends of each of the support plates are laterally connected to the area between the outer arc edge and the inner arc edge, and are spaced vertically along the extension direction of the outer arc edge;

[0023] The height difference between two adjacent support plates is adapted to the curvature of the outer arc edge, so that each support plate can form an ergonomic stepped tread surface.

[0024] To optimize the connection structure between the support plate and the side plate and ensure a firm connection to guarantee product stability, preferably, the end of the support plate is provided with a first threaded hole extending laterally, and the corresponding position of the side plate is provided with a first mounting hole for fasteners to pass through laterally. The support plate is fixed to the side plate by fasteners passing through the mounting hole and being screwed into the first threaded hole.

[0025] To better achieve the rotatable connection between the auxiliary support foot and the side plate, and to facilitate the adjustment of the rotation tightness of the auxiliary support foot, a fixing knob is preferably included. The fixing knob has a threaded post, the auxiliary support foot has a laterally extending hinge hole, the side plate has a second mounting hole aligned with the hinge hole, and at least one end of the support plate also has a laterally extending second threaded hole. The threaded post passes through the hinge hole and the second mounting hole in sequence and is screwed into the second threaded hole, thereby rotatably fixing the auxiliary support foot to the side plate.

[0026] In order to optimize the limiting structure of the limiting device so that the rotation limiting of the folding component can be achieved using the original component structure, thereby reducing production costs, preferably, the limiting device includes the aforementioned connecting rod. When the folding component is in the unfolded state, the corresponding side of the connecting rod can abut against the inner arc edge of the side plate to limit the folding component from continuing to rotate in the unfolding direction and form a rotation limiting.

[0027] To facilitate the carrying and transfer of the children's elevated stool and improve the product's portability, preferably, the top of the side panel is provided with a through hole, which extends along the thickness direction of the side panel to form a handle structure for extraction.

[0028] To improve comfort during handling, preferably, the top contour of the through hole is outwardly arc-shaped, and an arc-shaped grip portion is formed between the through hole and the outer arc edge of the side plate, thereby constituting a slender and easy-to-grip handle structure.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: By setting a folding component, the folding component can be rotatably connected to the side panel, and the auxiliary support foot can be completely folded inside or outside the side panel, significantly reducing its volume and making it easy to store upright in a small bathroom space or put into a travel bag, solving the problems of "space occupation contradiction" and "lack of portability" in the prior art; by setting multiple vertically spaced support plates on the side panel, multiple stepped step surfaces can be formed, which can be conveniently adapted to children of different heights and toilet heights, dynamically adapting to the needs of children's growth; in addition, by setting a clever limiting device, the folding component can be firmly locked on the side panel in the unfolded state without additional components, and can form a stable planar support structure together with the side panel, ensuring the stability of children when standing and reducing the risk of tipping over.

[0034] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0035] Figures 1-4 The diagram shown is a schematic diagram of this embodiment. The children's raised stool that is easy to store in this embodiment mainly includes a side panel 1, a support plate 2, a folding assembly 3, and a limiting device 4.

[0036] The following will detail the implementation process of a children's elevated stool that is easy to store, including the specific structure of each component and the connection methods between them.

[0037] Machining and preparation of side panel 1: Reference Figures 1 to 3As shown, during the processing of side plate 1, an outer arc edge 1a and an inner arc edge 1b are formed on both sides. The outer arc edge 1a protrudes outward, and the inner arc edge 1b is recessed inward. This design considers both the overall aesthetics and the convenience of subsequent installation of other components, while also enhancing the structural strength of the side plate. Multiple holes also need to be machined on side plate 1. First mounting holes 1c are drilled at the corresponding positions where it connects to the support plate 2. These holes are horizontally distributed, and their diameters are precisely determined according to the size of the fasteners 5 used laterally to ensure a tight fit between them. Second mounting holes 1d are drilled at the connection points with the auxiliary support leg 3a. The concentricity of the second mounting hole 1d and the hinge hole 3a1 on the auxiliary support leg 3a is required to ensure that the auxiliary support leg 3a can rotate flexibly. In addition, a through hole 1e is drilled through the thickness direction at the top of the side panel 1. The top contour of the through hole 1e is processed into an outer arc shape through a special cutting process. During the processing, an arc-shaped grip part 1e1 is formed between it and the outer arc edge 1a, thereby forming a slender and easy-to-grip handle structure, which makes it convenient for users to lift the stool.

[0038] Fabrication and installation of support plate 2: Refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the number of support plates 2 is determined according to actual design requirements. In this embodiment, there are two, but more can be set according to actual needs. A first threaded hole 2b and a second threaded hole 2c extending laterally are machined at the end of each support plate 2. The first threaded hole 2b is used to connect with the side plate 1, and the second threaded hole 2c is used to install the auxiliary support foot 3a and related structures. During installation, first place the two support plates 2 laterally between the two side plates 1, and carefully adjust their positions so that the first threaded hole 2b at the end of the support plate 2 is precisely aligned with the corresponding first mounting hole 1c on the side plate 1. Then, select a suitable fastener 5, such as a bolt or screw, and pass the bolt through the first mounting hole 1c from the outside of the side plate 1, and then screw it into the first threaded hole 2b. During the tightening of the bolt, use a torque wrench to operate according to the specified torque value to ensure that the support plate 2 is firmly fixed at different height positions of the side plate 1. Each support plate 2 is spaced vertically along the extension direction of the outer arc edge 1a. The height difference between two adjacent support plates 2 is precisely calculated to match the curvature of the outer arc edge 1a, thereby forming an ergonomic stepped foot surface 2a that is convenient for children to use.

[0039] Assembly and installation of folding component 3: Reference Figures 1 to 4As shown, the folding assembly 3 has two auxiliary support legs 3a. Both auxiliary support legs 3a need to be machined with laterally extending hinge holes 3a1. The connecting rod 3b is machined into a rod-shaped structure, and its two ends are fixed to the inner end faces of the two auxiliary support legs 3a by screws to ensure that the connection between the two is firm and reliable, so that the connecting rod 3b can synchronously drive the two auxiliary support legs 3a to unfold or fold. Align the hinge holes 3a1 of the auxiliary support legs 3a of the assembled folding assembly 3 with the second mounting holes 1d on the side plate 1, and install using the fixing knob 6. The fixing knob 6 has a threaded post 6a. Pass the threaded post 6a from the outside of the side plate 1 through the second mounting hole 1d and the hinge hole 3a1 in sequence, and then screw it into the second threaded hole 2c at the end of the support plate 2. During the screwing of the fixing knob 6, adjust the angle of the auxiliary support legs 3a appropriately to make them rotate flexibly, so that the folding assembly 3 can smoothly switch between the unfolded and folded states. In the unfolded state, the auxiliary support leg 3a and the side plate 1 together form a stable planar support structure; in the folded state, the auxiliary support leg 3a is placed close to and overlapped on the outside or inside of the side plate 1, reducing the volume and facilitating storage. The folding assembly 3 is locked to the side plate 1 by tightening the fixing knob 6 in either the unfolded or folded state.

[0040] Debugging and installation of limit device 4: Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the limiting device 4 is mainly achieved by the cooperation of the connecting rod 3b and the inner arc edge 1b of the side plate 1. When the folding component 3 is close to unfolding to the predetermined position, the corresponding side of the connecting rod 3b can tightly abut against the inner arc edge 1b of the side plate 1, restricting the folding component 3 from continuing to rotate in the unfolding direction, forming a reliable rotation limit, and ensuring that the auxiliary support foot 3a and the side plate 1 together form a stable planar support structure. Here, no additional parts are required to make the folding component 3 firmly locked on the side plate in the unfolded state, and can form a stable planar support structure together with the side plate 1, ensuring the stability of the child when standing and reducing the risk of tipping over.
