Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a toilet companion, and more particularly to a toilet companion that is easy to maintain. Background Technology

[0002] Toilet Companion is a spray gun flusher installed on the side of the toilet for cleaning. It includes a spray gun and a T-connector, with the spray gun connected to the T-connector via a hose.

[0003] However, existing toilet bowl cleaners typically have a push-button valve installed inside the T-connector to prevent overflow. When the spray gun is inserted into the T-connector, the water flow is automatically cut off, and when the spray gun is removed, the water flow is restored. However, with this type of toilet bowl cleaner, the T-connector remains in a continuous water flow state when the spray gun or hose needs to be replaced, making maintenance inconvenient.

[0004] For example, patent CN209174227U discloses a novel spray gun bracket, including a bracket body, an automatic switch, and a spray gun. After the spray gun is inserted into the socket, the side wall of the spray gun presses against the rod of the water-stopping rod, causing it to move towards the water guiding cavity. At the same time, the third pressing part squeezes the second pressing part until the first pressing part presses down on the water outlet, blocking the water outlet and stopping the spray gun from supplying water. In the above patent, the bracket body lacks a locking structure. When the spray gun or hose needs to be replaced, the water-stopping rod must be manually pressed down continuously, which is inconvenient for maintenance.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a toilet accessory that is easy to maintain, so that it is convenient to replace the spray gun or hose later. Utility Model Content

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a toilet companion that is easy to maintain.

When the valve body is in a compressed state, the first locking hole and the second locking hole are located on the same annular line, and the pin can pass through the first locking hole and the second locking hole in sequence. At this time, the main body is in a locked state.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a mounting groove is provided on the side wall of the pipe, the second locking hole is located on the bottom surface of the mounting groove, and the locking assembly is installed in the mounting groove; the locking assembly also includes a fixing seat and a spring, the fixing seat is screwed into the mounting groove; the upper end of the fixing seat is provided with a first limiting part, the upper end of the pin is provided with a second limiting part, the second limiting part abuts against the lower part of the first limiting part, the two ends of the spring abut against the second limiting part and the bottom surface of the mounting groove respectively, and the lower end of the pin passes through the second locking hole and is partially inserted into the main body; when the main body is in the locked state, the valve body has a tendency to move forward, and the front and rear sides of the pin are respectively engaged with the front side wall of the second locking hole and the rear side wall of the first locking hole.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, when the main body is in the locked state, the top cover is still partially located inside the insertion hole.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a strip groove is provided on the annular part, the length direction of the strip groove is parallel to the extension and retraction direction of the valve body, the first locking hole is provided in the strip groove, and the lower end of the pin is always inserted into the strip groove.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the lower end of the pin is provided with a first annular inclined surface, the lower end of the first annular inclined surface being inclined inward; the upper end of the first locking hole is provided with a second annular inclined surface corresponding to the first annular inclined surface, the lower end of the second annular inclined surface being inclined inward.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the top cover also includes a spherical portion, which is disposed at the front end of the top cover.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the main body is installed on the wall, and the locking assembly is installed on the side wall of the main body facing the wall.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By installing a locking component on the main body, the locking component includes a pin, the lower end of which extends into the main body. When the valve body is in a compressed state, the pin can continue to press down and lock onto the valve core assembly, thereby limiting the valve body from rebounding.

[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 6 A toilet companion for easy maintenance includes a main body 1 and a spray gun 2. The spray gun 2 is connected to the water passage of the main body 1 via a hose 3. A push-button valve core assembly is installed inside the main body 1. The valve core assembly (push-button valve core) includes a valve body 51, which has a compressed state and an extended state. In the compressed state, the water passage of the valve core assembly is closed; in the extended state, the water passage of the valve core assembly is open and connected. A locking assembly 4 is installed on the main body 1. The locking assembly 4 includes a pin 42. The lower end of the pin 42 extends into the main body 1; when the valve body 51 is in a compressed state, the pin 42 can continue to press down and engage the valve body 51 (the pin 42 can be directly engaged with the valve body 51 or indirectly engaged with the valve body 51 through other components), thereby locking the valve body 51, restricting the valve body 51 from rebounding, so that the valve core assembly is in a normally closed state, without having to manually press the valve body 51 to close the water outlet. After the valve body 51 is locked, the spray gun 2 and hose 3 can be replaced, which is convenient for maintenance.

[0028] In some embodiments, the main body 1 includes a tube 11 and a plug-in portion 12. The plug-in portion 12 is provided with a plug-in hole 121 for inserting the spray gun 2. A through hole 122 is provided at the intersection of the tube 11 and the plug-in portion 12. The valve core assembly also includes a top cover 52 installed at the end of the valve body 51 (the end near the plug-in hole 121). The top cover 52 moves synchronously with the valve body 51. The top cover 52 can pass through the through hole 122 and partially enter the plug-in hole 121. The top cover 52 has an annular portion 522. The diameter of the annular portion 522 is larger than the diameter of the through hole 122. When the valve body 51 is in the unfolded state, the annular portion 522 abuts against the through hole. On the rear side of 122, the annular portion 522 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the tube portion 11. The annular portion 522 is provided with a first locking hole 524, and the side wall of the tube portion 11 is provided with a second locking hole 112. The locking assembly 4 is installed on the second locking hole 112. When the valve body 51 is in a compressed state (or compressed to a certain position), the first locking hole 524 and the second locking hole 112 are located on the same ring line. The pin 42 can pass through the first locking hole 524 and the second locking hole 112 in sequence, and then lock the valve body 51 through the top cover 52. At this time, the main body 1 is in a locked state (the valve body 51 is in a compressed state), and the opposite is the unlocked state (the valve body 51 is in an unfolded state).

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, a mounting groove 111 is provided on the side wall of the tube 11, the second locking hole 112 is located on the bottom surface of the mounting groove 111, and the locking assembly 4 is installed in the mounting groove 111; the locking assembly 4 further includes a fixing seat 41 and a spring 43, the inner side wall of the mounting groove 111 is provided with an internal thread, the outer side wall of the fixing seat 41 is provided with an external thread, and the fixing seat 41 is screwed into the mounting groove 111; the upper end of the fixing seat 41 is provided with a first limiting part 411, and the upper end of the pin 42 is provided with a second limiting part 421, the second limiting part 421 abutting against the first limiting part by the spring 43. Below the position 411, the two ends of the spring 43 abut against the bottom surface of the second limiting part 421 and the mounting groove 111, respectively. The spring 43 is used to rebound the pin 42. The lower end of the pin 42 passes through the second locking hole 112 and is partially inserted into the body 1. When the body 1 is in the locked state, the pin 42 is connected in series with the first locking hole 524 and the second locking hole 112. The valve body 51 has a tendency to move forward. The front and rear sides of the pin 42 are respectively engaged (clamped) on the front side wall of the second locking hole 112 and the rear side wall of the first locking hole 524. That is, the pin 42 is engaged together by the clamping and friction of the two locking holes.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, when the main body 1 is in the locked state, the top cover 52 is still partially located in the insertion hole 121. After the spray gun 2 is inserted, the spray gun 2 can press the top cover 52, causing the top cover 52 to move backward. The first locking hole 524 and the second locking hole 112 cancel the clamping of the pin 42. The pin 42 rebounds under the action of the spring 43, eliminating the need to manually press the top cover 52, which further facilitates later maintenance.

[0031] Specifically, in some embodiments, the locking component 4 can be replaced with a ratchet structure such as that of a ballpoint pen tip, which locks the pin 42 in place on the body of the locking component 4, so that the pin 42 is always connected in series with the first locking hole 524 and the second locking hole 112. After maintenance, the pin 42 is pressed again to make the pin 42 spring back. However, the ratchet structure of the ballpoint pen tip is relatively complex and costly. The locking component 4 of this utility model is relatively simple and feasible in structure and has a lower cost.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, a strip groove 523 is provided on the annular portion 522. The length direction of the strip groove 523 is parallel to the extension and retraction direction of the valve body 51. The first locking hole 524 is provided in the strip groove 523. The lower end of the pin 42 is always inserted into the strip groove 523. The strip groove 523 has a limiting and guiding function for the pin 42, so that the pin 42 is better guided to the first locking hole 524.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the lower end of the pin 42 is provided with a first annular inclined surface 422, the lower end of the first annular inclined surface 422 being inclined inward; the upper end of the first locking hole 524 is provided with a second annular inclined surface 5241 corresponding to the first annular inclined surface 422, the lower end of the second annular inclined surface 5241 being inclined inward. By providing the inclined surfaces, the pin 42 can be better inserted into the first locking hole 524.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the top cover 52 further includes a spherical portion 521, which is disposed at the front end of the top cover 52. That is, the part of the top cover 52 that extends into the insertion hole 121 has an arc-shaped structure, so that the spray gun 2 can better drive the top cover 52.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the main body 1 is mounted on the wall, and the locking component 4 is mounted on the side wall of the main body 1 facing the wall, i.e., the side facing away from the user, making the appearance more concise.

[0036] A repair method for a toilet companion, wherein when the main body 1 is in the locked state, the top cover 52 is completely located inside the main body 1, the repair steps are as follows: remove the spray gun 2, manually press the top cover 52 and press the pin 42, the valve body 51 does not spring back, at this time the valve core assembly is in the normally closed state, the water circuit is closed, then replace the spray gun 2 or the hose 3, after replacement, manually press the top cover 52 to make the pin 42 spring back to reset, the water circuit of the valve core assembly is opened, and finally insert the spray gun 2 into the insertion hole 121.

[0037] A repair method for a toilet companion device, where the main body 1 is in the locked state and the top cover 52 is still partially located within the insertion hole 121, involves the following steps: Remove the spray gun 2, manually press the top cover 52 and press down the pin 42. The valve body 51 does not spring back, indicating that the valve core assembly is in a normally closed state and the water circuit is shut off. Then replace the spray gun 2 or the hose 3. After replacement, insert the spray gun 2 into the insertion hole 121. During insertion, the spray gun 2 compresses the top cover 52, causing the top cover 52 to move the valve body 51 backward. The first locking hole 524 and the second locking hole 112 release the clamping force on the pin 42, and the pin 42 springs back under the action of the spring 43, automatically resetting its position. This eliminates the need to press the top cover 52 again, further facilitating future repairs.

[0038] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the inventive concept of this utility model and the contents of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
