[0002] As an indispensable sanitary device in daily life, the stability and convenience of the toilet's installation structure directly affect the user experience.

[0003] Existing toilets typically have a toilet seat and a bracket structure that is detachably fixed to the toilet body. The toilet seat is mounted on the bracket structure, which usually consists of a fixing plate, a base, and a mounting seat. The fixing plate is detachably fixed to the toilet body, and the mounting seat is locked to the base. The fixing plate usually has a pin, and the mounting seat has a hole. When installing the fixing plate, base, and mounting seat, due to manufacturing tolerance issues with the fixing plate, the pin is prone to misalignment when passing through the base, causing the pin and the hole to not align properly, resulting in installation difficulties.

[0004] In view of this, the designer of this utility model developed and designed this utility model. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a support structure for a toilet seat, which can solve the problem of inconvenient installation caused by the manufacturing tolerance of the fixing plate, and make installation more convenient.

[0006] Another objective of this invention is to provide a toilet structure.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following solution:

[0008] A toilet seat support structure includes: a base, a fixing plate, and a mounting base. The fixing plate is detachably fixed to the base. The fixing plate is provided with a pin. The base is provided with a through hole and at least one fixing post. The mounting base is provided with a socket and at least one connecting hole. The connecting hole is fitted with the fixing post. The pin passes through the through hole and is inserted into the socket. There is a movable gap between the connecting hole and the fixing post.

[0009] Preferably, the number of fixing posts is at least two, the number of connecting holes is at least two, and the fixing posts are evenly spaced on the left and right sides of the through holes.

[0010] Furthermore, a first clamping post is formed below the socket, the first clamping post is inserted into the through hole, and the pin is inserted into the socket through the first clamping post.

[0011] Furthermore, the pin is provided with at least one slot, the slot engages with a retaining ring, and the pin is press-fitted with the socket through the retaining ring.

[0012] Preferably, the inner diameter of the connecting hole is larger than the outer diameter of the fixing post, so that there is a movable gap between the connecting hole and the fixing post.

[0013] Furthermore, the fixing post is provided with a fixing hole, and a fixing member is fixedly locked into the fixing hole. The fixing hole is a screw hole, and the fixing member is a screw.

[0014] Furthermore, at least one stop rib is provided radially inward inside the connecting hole, and the stop rib is used to limit the fixing member in the axial direction.

[0015] Furthermore, the top of the fixed column is recessed to form a relief groove, and the stop rib can be embedded in the relief groove.

[0016] Furthermore, the edge of the connecting hole extends along the axial direction of the fixed column to form a second clamping column, and a limiting platform is formed at the bottom of the fixed column. The second clamping column is clamped and sleeved on the corresponding fixed column, and the bottom of the second clamping column abuts against the limiting platform.

[0017] A toilet structure includes: a toilet body, a toilet seat, and a support structure for the toilet seat. The fixing plate is fixedly mounted on the rear side of the toilet body, the toilet seat is fixedly mounted on a base, and the mounting seat is disposed between the base and the toilet seat.

[0018] As can be seen from the above technical solution, this utility model, through the structural design of the mounting base, solves the problem of inconvenient installation caused by the manufacturing tolerance of the fixed plate when the pin passes through the base. Because there is an movable gap between the connecting hole of the mounting base and the fixing post of the base, the connecting hole can still fit the fixing post, and the pin can still be quickly inserted into the insertion hole of the mounting base. This solves the problem of inconvenient installation caused by the manufacturing tolerance of the fixed plate, making the installation of this utility model convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0045] Reference Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model discloses a support structure for a toilet seat, including: a base 2, a fixing plate 1, and a mounting base 3. The fixing plate 1 is detachably fixed to the base 2. The fixing plate 1 is provided with a pin 11. The base 2 is provided with a through hole 21 and at least one fixing post 22. The mounting base 3 is provided with an insertion hole 31 and at least one connecting hole 32. The connecting hole 32 is fitted with the fixing post 22. The pin 11 passes through the through hole 21 and is inserted into the insertion hole 31. There is a movable gap between the connecting hole 32 and the fixing post 22. The fixing plate 1, the base 2, and the mounting base 3 are arranged sequentially from bottom to top.

[0046] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1A , Figure 2 and Figure 2A As shown, this utility model also discloses a toilet structure, including: a toilet body 5, a toilet seat and a support structure for the toilet seat, wherein the fixing plate 1 is fixedly mounted on the rear side of the toilet body 5, the toilet seat is fixedly mounted on the base 2, and the mounting seat 3 is disposed between the base 2 and the toilet seat.

[0047] Therefore, through the structural design of the mounting base 3, when the pin 11 passes through the base 2, it becomes skewed due to the manufacturing tolerance problem of the fixing plate 1. Since there is an movable gap between the connecting hole 32 of the mounting base 3 and the fixing post 22 of the base 2, the connecting hole 32 can still be fitted with the fixing post 22, and the pin 11 can still be quickly inserted into the insertion hole 31 of the mounting base 3. This solves the problem of inconvenient installation caused by the manufacturing tolerance problem of the fixing plate 1, making the installation of this utility model more convenient.

[0048] Preferably, in order to ensure that the fixing plate 1, the base 2 and the mounting base 3 are securely installed, the number of fixing posts 22 is at least two and the number of connecting holes 32 is at least two. The fixing posts 22 are evenly spaced on the left and right sides of the through hole 21. In the embodiment shown in the figure, the number of fixing posts 22 is two and the number of connecting holes 32 is two, but this is not a limitation.

[0049] Please see Figure 2A , Figure 3A and 5A As shown, a first clamping post 311 is formed below the insertion hole 31. The first clamping post 311 is inserted into the through hole 21, and the pin 11 is inserted into the insertion hole 31 through the first clamping post 311, so that the pin 11 is not easy to shake.

[0050] For further information, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 and 3A As shown, the pin 11 is provided with at least one slot 12, and a retaining ring 13 is engaged in the slot 12. The pin 11 is press-fitted with the insertion hole 31 through the retaining ring 13. Through the cooperation design of the retaining ring 13 and the slot 12, the pin 11 can be firmly installed and engaged with the first clamping post 311. As shown in the figure, the number of slots 12 and the number of retaining rings 13 are both two, and they are arranged vertically and vertically at intervals along the axial direction of the pin 11.

[0051] Preferably, for ease of manufacturing, the inner diameter of the connecting hole 32 is larger than the outer diameter of the fixing post 22, so that there is a movable gap between the connecting hole 32 and the fixing post 22.

[0052] To improve the installation stability of this utility model, the fixing post 22 is provided with a fixing hole 221, and a fixing member 4 is fixedly locked into the fixing hole 221. Preferably, the fixing hole 221 can be a screw hole, and the fixing member 4 can be a screw.

[0053] Furthermore, at least one stop rib 321 is provided radially inward in the connecting hole 32. The stop rib 321 is used to limit the fixing member 4 in the axial direction. That is, the fixing member 4 is provided with a head 41, and the top surface of the stop rib 321 abuts against the bottom surface of the head 41. Thus, the fixing member 4 can use a small-head universal screw to cooperate with the stop rib 321 to achieve the purpose of limiting the mounting base 3. This allows the connecting hole 32 to be adapted to the heads of screws of various sizes and to use screws with conventional head types.

[0054] Among them, Yu Figure 6 In the embodiment shown, each connecting hole 32 is provided with two positioning ribs 321, which are arranged symmetrically about the central axis of the connecting hole 32.

[0055] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 4A As shown, the top of the fixed column 22 can be recessed to form a relief groove 222, and the stop rib 321 can be embedded in the relief groove 222; thereby, the relief groove 222 is used to provide relief for the stop rib 321.

[0056] Furthermore, in order to improve the installation tightness of this utility model, the edge of the connecting hole 32 extends along the axial direction of the fixing column 22 to form a second clamping column 322, and a limiting platform 223 is formed at the bottom of the fixing column 22. The second clamping column 322 is clamped and sleeved on the corresponding fixing column 22, and the bottom of the clamping chamber abuts against the limiting platform 223.

[0057] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the base 2 has an oblique opening 23 on the side away from the fixed plate 1, so that the water outlet of the flushing pipe installed on the base 2 extends out along the oblique opening 23, which facilitates flushing.

[0058] The installation process of the toilet seat bracket structure of this utility model is as follows: First, align the connecting hole 32 of the mounting base 3 with the fixing post 22 of the base 2, so that the connecting hole 32 fits into the fixing post 22, and the stop rib 321 is embedded in the relief groove 222. Then, screw the screw into the screw hole until the top surface of the stop rib 321 abuts against the bottom surface of the head 41, thus completing the connection between the mounting base 3 and the base 2. Then, let the pin 11 on the fixing plate 1 pass through the through hole 21 of the base 2, align the insertion hole 31 of the mounting base 3 with the pin 11, and let the pin 11 pass through the through hole 21 and be inserted into the insertion hole 31, thus completing the fixing of the base 2 and the fixing plate 1.

[0059] 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.
