[0036] like Figures 1-4As shown, this embodiment provides a toilet storage structure. The toilet has a mounting part 110, on which an openable and closable storage box 200 is provided. The storage box 200 includes a main box body 210 and a lid 220, which are hinged together by a flip-top shaft 300 to form a flip-top structure. The main box body 210 has a storage groove 212 for storing the flip-top shaft 300, which is used to store the flip-top shaft 300 when the lid 220 is closed. It can be understood that the mounting part 110 can be a mounting hole, in which case the storage box 200 is locked onto the toilet by fasteners 350 such as screws. The mounting part 110 can also be a quick-connect structure such as a mounting cavity 120, a magnetic seat, a card seat, or a plug-in seat. The mounting part 110 on the toilet can be set at any position, such as on the toilet seat, the toilet side wall, or the toilet grab bar 100, that is, the storage box 200 can be set at any part of the toilet as needed. This embodiment provides a storage box 200 on the toilet grab handle 100, making it convenient for people to place and retrieve the remote control. Furthermore, due to the sealed structure of the box, the remote control is less likely to be dropped and get wet, improving usability. The storage box 200 can also be used to store mobile phones, electronic watches, and other items while showering, offering good practicality. In this embodiment, the main box 210 has a single-sided opening structure with internal storage space. Two flip-top hinges 300 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the main box 210.

[0037] The storage groove 212 is correspondingly arranged with the two flip-top shafts 300 on both sides. Its function is to limit and store the flip-top shafts 300 when they rotate, thereby improving the strength of the hinge structure of the flip-top shafts 300 and the stability when flipping. In this embodiment, one side and the top side of the storage groove 212 are open. The bottom of the storage groove 212 is provided with an arc surface that fits the bottom of the flip-top shaft 300. The open side of the storage groove 212 is provided with a pair of rotating holes 211, through which the flip-top shafts 300 can be directly fitted during assembly.

[0038] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3-4 As shown, one end of the flip-top shaft 300 is connected to the lid 220, and the other end is hinged to the main box body 210. The main box body 210 is provided with a rotating hole 211, and the flip-top shaft 300 is provided with a hinge part 310 for hinged with the rotating hole 211. In this embodiment, the rotating hole 211 is a semi-open hole structure. During assembly, the hinge part 310 of the flip-top shaft 300 can be directly fitted into the semi-open notch of the rotating hole 211 to achieve hinged connection. This structure makes assembly more convenient.

[0039] In this embodiment, the flip-top shaft 300 is an L-shaped rod, with one end connected to the middle of the lid 220 and the other end having a hinge 310 that fits into the rotation hole 211 of the main box 210. The advantage of this design is that the lid 220 does not need to be completely flipped behind the main box 210. Once the lid 220 is flipped open to a small angle, one end of the lid 220 can rest against the outer wall of the toilet grab handle 100, keeping the main box 210 open for easy access to items, making it more convenient to use.

[0040] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3-4 As shown, the flip-top shaft 300 and the cover 220 are connected by a fastener 350. The flip-top shaft 300 has an assembly hole 320 for engaging the fastener 350. During assembly, the fastener 350 passes through the assembly hole 320, locking the flip-top shaft 300 to the bottom surface of the cover 220. In this embodiment, a decorative cover 330 is detachably provided outside the assembly hole 320. The decorative cover 330 can conceal the fastener 350's installation marks, enhancing the product's appearance.

[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the flip-top shaft 300 is provided with an elastic boss 340. In this embodiment, the elastic boss 340 is located on the lower side of the decorative cover 330. When the main box body 210 and the box cover 220 are closed, the flip-top shaft 300 presses the elastic boss 340 against the bottom surface of the storage groove 212. The elastic boss 340 deforms under pressure and stores energy. When the box cover 220 is flipped open, the elastic boss 340 rebounds, assisting in opening the cover and making it easier to open.

[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3-6 As shown, a switch assembly 400 is included for fixing the main box 210 and the lid 220 in a closed structure. It can be understood that the switch assembly 400 can be a snap-fit ​​structure, magnetic snap structure, cord snap structure, plug-in structure, or other connection structure provided between the main box 210 and the lid 220 that can control the opening and closing of the main box 210 and the lid 220.

[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3-6As shown, the switch assembly 400 includes a hook 410 and a retractable button 420. The button 420 includes a latch 421. The hook 410 and the button 420 are respectively located on the lid 220 and the main body 210. When the main body 210 and the lid 220 are closed, the hook 410 engages with the latch 421 on the button 420. It can be understood that pressing the retractable button 420 moves the button 420, controlling the engagement or disengagement of the hook 410 and the latch 421, thereby opening and closing the lid 220. The switch-like operation of the button 420 is simpler and more practical. In this embodiment, the button 420 is located on the main body 210, and the hook 410 is located on the lid 220. The mounting part 110 is provided with a key hole 121, and the main housing 210 near the key hole 121 is provided with a locking groove 213. The button 420 is disposed in the locking groove 213 and extends out of the key hole 121. The switch assembly 400 also includes a reset member 430, which is disposed between the button 420 and the locking groove 213. In other embodiments, the button 420 is disposed on the cover 220, and the hook 410 is disposed on the main housing 210. The reset member 430 may be a reset spring.

[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the mounting part 110 is a mounting cavity 120, and the main box body 210 is disposed within the mounting cavity 120. The mounting cavity 120 is provided with a clearance groove 122 for accommodating the flip-top shaft 300. The clearance groove 122 is used to allow the flip-top shaft 300 to pass when the box cover 220 is opened. It can be understood that the clearance groove 122 provides space for the flip-top shaft 300 to rotate, allowing the flip-top shaft 300 to rotate smoothly.

[0045] like Figures 5-7 As shown, this embodiment provides a toilet, including the grab handle storage structure as described above. The toilet includes a toilet grab handle 100, and a mounting part 110 is disposed on the toilet grab handle 100. The mounting part 110 is a mounting cavity 120 integrally formed with the toilet grab handle 100, and the main box 210 is disposed within the mounting cavity 120. In this embodiment, to improve the product appearance, the storage box 200 has been further concealed when installed on the grab handle. Specifically, as shown... Figure 7 As shown, when the box 200 is closed, its surface is flush with the support surface of the armrest arm, and its side is flush with the side of the armrest, maintaining the integrity and consistency of the armrest.

[0046] It should be understood that the various examples described above can be utilized in multiple directions, such as tilted, inverted, horizontal, vertical, etc., and in multiple configurations, without departing from the principles of this invention. The embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples of effective application of the principles of this invention, and this invention is not limited to any specific details of these embodiments.

[0047] Of course, upon careful consideration of the above description of the representative embodiments, those skilled in the art will readily understand that various modifications, additions, substitutions, deletions, and other changes can be made to these specific embodiments, and that such changes are within the scope of the principles of this invention. Therefore, the foregoing detailed description should be clearly understood as being given by way of illustration and example only, and the spirit and scope of this invention are defined solely by the appended claims and their equivalents.
