Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a toilet seat lifting structure that conforms to the habits of both men and women. Background Technology
[0002] Due to differences in physiological characteristics, men and women have different hygiene habits when using toilet seats. To avoid urine splashing onto the toilet seat when urinating while standing, men need to flip the toilet seat and seat up from the top of the ceramic toilet bowl. Women, on the other hand, need to sit on the seat that is located on the top of the ceramic toilet bowl, so they only need to flip the toilet seat up.
[0003] To address the different hygiene habits of men and women when opening and closing toilet seats, Chinese utility model patent (CN214510958U) discloses a multi-layered toilet seat with lifting devices 8 on the sides of the seat 1, child seat 2, female seat 5, and male seat 7, for opening and closing the seat. This patent has the following problems:
[0004] (1) The patent has a lid opener 8 protruding on the side of the seat ring, which causes the buttocks or thighs of the human body to be blocked when sitting, resulting in poor body position and tactile sensation when sitting on the toilet.
[0005] (2) The lid opener 8 is set on the seat ring. Once urine splashes onto the surface of the lid opener 8, when a person lifts the lid opener 8 to open the seat ring, the urine will contaminate the person, which is very unhygienic.
[0006] To address one or more of the above problems, this utility model designs a toilet seat lifting structure that conforms to the habits of both men and women. Utility Model Content
[0007] This utility model provides a toilet seat lifting structure that conforms to the habits of both men and women, which can effectively solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0008] This utility model is implemented as follows:
[0009] A toilet seat lift-up structure conforming to male and female habits includes a toilet seat, which includes a hinge base, a lid hinged to the hinge base, and a seat ring. A lift-up portion is provided at the edge of the lid.
[0010] The lifting part extends downward to a mounting part, and a latching mechanism is provided in the mounting part. The latching mechanism includes a housing set in the mounting part, a horizontal guide cavity and a longitudinal guide cavity set below the horizontal guide cavity. A locking tongue that moves elastically in the horizontal direction is provided in the horizontal guide cavity. The front end of the locking tongue has a ring pressure slope, and the top of the locking tongue has a retaining ring plane. A button pressure slope is provided on the side walls at both ends of the locking tongue. A button that moves elastically in the vertical direction is provided in the longitudinal guide cavity. The top surface of the button has a wedge-applying slope corresponding to the button pressure slope. The wedge-applying slope can press against the button pressure slope to actuate the locking tongue.
[0011] The toilet cover flips down onto the edge of the seat ring, pressing against the inclined surface. The edge of the seat ring presses against the inclined surface, causing the latch to move horizontally towards the retractable mounting part. When the latch passes the edge of the seat ring, it pops out, and the retaining ring hooks onto the bottom surface of the seat ring, allowing the toilet cover and seat ring to flip together. Pressing the button causes the wedge-shaped inclined surface to press against the inclined surface, and the latch moves horizontally towards the retractable mounting part. The retaining ring disengages from the seat ring, allowing the toilet cover to separate from the seat ring.
[0012] As a further improvement, the lifting part protrudes from the front side wall of the toilet seat.
[0013] As a further improvement, the lifting part protrudes from the left or right side wall of the toilet lid edge.
[0014] As a further improvement, the latch abuts against the inner wall of the housing via a first spring, and the button abuts against the inner top wall of the housing via a second spring.
[0015] As a further improvement, a clearance portion is provided in the middle of the bolt along the vertical direction, through which the bolt passes, and the second spring passes through the clearance portion and abuts against the inner top wall of the housing.
[0016] As a further improvement, each end of the latch tongue is provided with an inclined wedge rib, and the lower end of the wedge rib is the aforementioned button pressing slope.
[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0018] (1) The buckle mechanism is set on the lifting part on one side of the toilet lid to avoid male urine splashing and contamination.
[0019] (2) When men urinate, they lift the lifting part on the toilet lid, and the buckle mechanism on the toilet lid will lock the seat ring and flip it open together; while when women sit on the toilet, they can press the button of the buckle mechanism to unlock the buckle mechanism and flip the toilet lid open independently, leaving the seat ring on the top surface of the toilet lid. The buckle mechanism is easy to operate and is more in line with the hygienic usage habits of men and women on ordinary toilet lids.
[0020] (3) The lifting part and the buckle mechanism are located at the top edge of the toilet seat away from the hinge, which not only minimizes the impact on the appearance of the toilet seat, but also makes it more convenient to flip the lid and turn the ring. Attached Figure Description

[0035] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0036] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a toilet seat lifting structure that conforms to the habits of men and women includes a toilet seat 10. The toilet seat 10 includes a hinge 11 and a lid 13 and a seat ring 12 that are hinged to the hinge 11. A lifting part 131 is provided at the edge of the lid 13. A mounting part 132 extends downward from the lifting part 131. A latching mechanism 20 is provided in the mounting part 132. The latching mechanism 20 is provided on the lifting part on one side of the lid 13 to avoid splashing and contamination by male urine. The latching mechanism 20 includes a housing 21 disposed within the mounting portion 132. The housing 21 has a horizontal guide cavity 211 and a longitudinal guide cavity 212 disposed below the horizontal guide cavity 211. A latch 22 that moves elastically in the horizontal direction is disposed within the horizontal guide cavity 211. The front end of the latch 22 has a ring-shaped pressure slope 221. The top of the latch 22 has a retaining ring plane 222. A button-pressing slope 224 is disposed on the side walls at both ends of the latch 22. A button 23 that moves elastically in the vertical direction is disposed within the longitudinal guide cavity 212. The top surface of the button 23 has a wedge-applying slope 231 corresponding to the button-pressing slope 224. The wedge-applying slope 231 abuts against the button-pressing slope 224.
[0037] like Figures 4-8 As shown, the toilet cover 13 flips downwards under its own weight, and falls onto the edge of the seat ring 12, pressing against the inclined surface 221. The edge of the seat ring 12 presses against the inclined surface 221, causing the locking tongue 22 to move horizontally towards the retractable mounting part 132. When the locking tongue 22 passes the edge of the seat ring 12, the locking tongue 22 pops out, causing the retaining ring plane 222 to hook onto the bottom surface of the seat ring 12, so that the toilet cover 13 and the seat ring 12 can be flipped open together. Pressing the button 23 causes the wedge-applying inclined surface 231 to press against the button-applying inclined surface 224, and the locking tongue 22 moves horizontally towards the retractable mounting part 132. The retaining ring plane 222 disengages from the seat ring 12, so that the toilet cover 13 is separated from the seat ring 12 and cannot be flipped open together.
[0038] The structure of each component of this utility model will be described below.
[0039] like Figure 1 , Figures 6-8As shown, in this embodiment, the lifting part 131 protrudes from the front side wall of the toilet seat 13. This design prevents the buttocks or thighs from being obstructed when sitting down due to the lifting part 131 being on the seat ring 12, thus avoiding an unpleasant tactile experience. Furthermore, it minimizes the impact on the appearance of the toilet seat 10 while maximizing the convenience of flipping the lid and seat ring. In other embodiments, the lifting part 131 may also protrude from the left or right side wall of the toilet seat 13, which is suitable for people accustomed to flipping the lid from the side or for use in narrow spaces.
[0040] like Figure 1 , Figures 6-8 As shown, the lifting part 131 extends downward to a mounting part 132. The mounting part 132 is provided with a mounting cavity for accommodating the housing 21. The mounting cavity is provided with a first slot. The outer wall of the housing 21 is provided with a first buckle corresponding to the first slot. When the housing 21 is placed into the mounting cavity, the first buckle is engaged in the first slot, which facilitates fixing the housing 21 in the mounting part 132.
[0041] like Figures 2-5 As shown, the latch 22 abuts against the side wall of the housing 21 via a first spring 24, and the button 23 abuts against the top wall of the housing 21 via a second spring 25. Both the first spring 24 and the second spring 25 press against the latch 22 and the button 23 in a straight line. A clearance portion 225 is provided through the middle of the latch 22 in the vertical direction. The second spring 25 passes through the clearance portion 225 and abuts against the top wall of the housing 21. The clearance portion 225 provides clearance for the latch 22, the button 23, and the second spring 25, allowing the linearly moving latch 22 and the linearly moving button 23 to intersect in a cross shape. Furthermore, the clearance portion 225 provides lateral and longitudinal clearance for the second spring 25, effectively preventing the latch 22 from touching the second spring 25 and ensuring that the movement of the latch 22 does not interfere with the second spring 25.
[0042] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, the latch 22 has an inclined wedge rib 223 on both sides of the latch 22. The lower side wall of the wedge rib 223 is a button pressing slope 224. By setting the wedge rib 223, not only can the latch 22 and the button 23 contact and cooperate, but the material consumption of the latch 22 can also be reduced to a certain extent, thus reducing the production cost.
[0043] The button 23 has a plurality of second buckles on its side wall, and the housing 21 has a second slot corresponding to the second buckles. When the button is placed in the housing 21, the second buckles slide in the second slots, and the second slots are used to limit the movement of the button 23.
[0044] The working principle and specific implementation steps of this utility model are explained in detail below.
[0045] like Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the toilet cover 13 flips over under its own weight, and falls onto the edge of the seat ring 12, pressing against the inclined surface 221. As the toilet cover 13 continues to flip down, the edge of the seat ring 12 presses against the inclined surface 221, causing the locking tongue 22 to move horizontally towards the retractable mounting part 132. The first spring 24 is compressed by the locking tongue 22. When the locking tongue 22 passes the edge of the seat ring 12, under the restoring force of the first spring 24, the locking tongue 22 pops out instantly, causing the retaining ring plane 222 to hook onto the bottom surface of the seat ring 12, thus locking the seat ring 12 with the buckling mechanism 20 on the toilet cover 13. In this locked state, when a man needs to urinate, he only needs to manually pull up the lifting part 131 to open the toilet cover 13 and the seat ring 12 together.
[0046] like Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, when a woman needs to use the toilet, she only needs to press button 23 with one hand to retract the locking tongue 22 of the latching mechanism 20 into the mounting part 132, thereby unlocking the seat ring 12 by disengaging the locking ring plane 222. Then, she can lift the lifting part 131 upwards to open the toilet seat 13, leaving the seat ring 12 on the top surface of the ceramic toilet bowl. The latching mechanism 20 is designed for ease of operation and is more in line with the hygienic usage habits of both men and women on ordinary toilet seats.
[0047] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
