This design ensures the handle 5 is stable and reliable during use, while also facilitating installation and disassembly.
[0036] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the folding ring plate structure of this utility model is shown, as follows: Figure 4As shown, the top edge of the folding ring plate 31 is provided with multiple protrusions 311, and the outer edge of the folding ring plate 31 is evenly distributed with multiple sliding grooves 312. The lower end of the sliding groove 312 is provided with a notch 313 that matches the protrusions 311. In a preferred embodiment, the sliding groove 312 is inclined relative to the top surface of the folding ring plate 31. It should be noted that, depending on specific needs, the sliding groove 312 can also be chosen to be vertically arranged relative to the top surface of the folding ring plate 31. This design can be adjusted according to actual application scenarios and functional requirements to meet different usage needs. The top edge of the folding ring plate 31 extends inward and is provided with a first limiting block 314, and the bottom edge of the folding ring plate 31 extends outward and is provided with a second limiting block 315. The upper end of the sliding groove 312 is provided with a stop 316 to prevent the sliding groove 312 from sliding excessively.
[0037] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the unfolded telescopic component of this utility model is shown, as follows: Figure 5 As shown, when the telescopic component 3 is in the stretched state, in the two adjacent folding ring plates 31, the sliding groove 312 of the upper folding ring plate 31 abuts against the inner ring of the lower folding ring plate 31, and the notch 313 of the sliding groove 312 of the upper folding ring plate 31 ( Figure 4 (As shown in the figure) it engages with the protrusion 311 of the lower folding ring plate 31.
[0038] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5In a specific embodiment, when the toilet needs to be lifted from the retracted state to the unfolded state, first release the positioning post 21 on the handle 5 to separate the positioning post 21 from the handle 5. During the lifting process, the toilet seat 2 moves the uppermost folding ring plate 31 upward. Of the two adjacent folding ring plates 31, as the upper folding ring plate 31 rises, the sliding groove 312 of the upper folding ring plate 31 slides upward along the sliding groove 312 of the lower folding ring plate 31. When it slides to the highest point of the sliding groove 312 of the lower folding ring plate 31, rotate the toilet seat 2 clockwise by a certain angle so that the notch 313 of the sliding groove 312 of the upper folding ring plate 31 aligns with the protrusion 311 of the lower folding ring plate 31. During the continued lifting process, the upper folding ring plate 31 sequentially drives the lower folding ring plate 31 upwards. The notch 313 of the sliding groove 312 engages sequentially with the protrusion 311 of the lower folding ring plate 31, allowing each layer of folding ring plates 31 to unfold sequentially until the toilet reaches the required height. When the toilet seat 2 is lifted to unfold the folding ring plates 31, when the folding ring plates 31 are pulled up to their highest height, the first limiting block 314 of the lower folding ring plate 31 abuts against the second limiting block 315 of the upper folding ring plate 31, limiting the rising height of the folding ring plates 31 and ensuring that the folding ring plates 31 do not move excessively during unfolding. The design of this application makes the unfolding process smoother, eliminating the need for individual operation of each layer of folding ring plates.
[0039] Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the retractable telescopic component of this invention is shown, as follows: Figure 6 As shown, when the telescopic assembly 3 is in the stretched / retracted state, the sliding grooves 312 of each folded ring plate 31 retract and move closer together. As a preferred embodiment, the telescopic assembly 3 includes four folded ring plates 31 of the same height. It should be understood that, depending on actual usage requirements and space constraints, the telescopic assembly 3 can be provided with other numbers of folded ring plates 31, such as three, five, or more, to adapt to different portability and height requirements.
[0040] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6In a specific embodiment, when the toilet needs to be retracted from its unfolded state, the toilet seat 2 is first pulled upwards. Then, the toilet seat 2 is rotated counterclockwise by a certain angle, causing the notch 313 of the sliding groove 312 of the upper folding ring plate 31 to separate from the protrusion 311 of the lower folding ring plate 31. As the pulling continues, the sliding groove 312 of the upper folding ring plate 31 slides down along the sliding groove 312 of the lower folding ring plate 31, causing the upper folding ring plate 31 to move downwards. The upper folding ring plate 31 then sequentially causes the lower folding ring plate 31 to move downwards, and the notch 313 of the sliding groove 312 separates from the protrusion 311 of the lower folding ring plate 31 in sequence, achieving the sequential retraction of each layer of folding ring plates 31 until all folding ring plates 31 are fully retracted, and the toilet reaches its retracted volume. This design ensures a smooth retraction process without requiring individual operation on each layer of folding ring plates. The inclined design of the sliding groove 312 allows the folding ring plates 31 to smoothly come together during retraction, reducing friction and resistance and improving ease and comfort of operation. Preferably, the included angle between the sliding groove 312 and the top surface of the folding ring plate 31 is in the range of 45°-90°, allowing the folding ring plates 31 to come together more smoothly during retraction. At the same time, the stop portion 316 and the limiting blocks (first limiting block 314 and second limiting block 315) of the sliding groove 312 play a restrictive role during retraction, preventing the folding ring plates 31 from moving excessively or detaching, ensuring the smooth progress of the retraction process and the integrity of the structure.
[0041] After retracting, the positioning post 21 on the toilet seat 2 can be passed through the through hole on the handle 5 to securely connect the positioning post 21 to the handle 5. This step ensures the stability and portability of the toilet in its retracted state. This securing method tightly connects the toilet seat 2 and the handle 5, preventing shaking or loosening during transport or storage. Simultaneously, this design allows users to quickly disconnect the positioning post 21 from the handle 5 when they need to unfold the toilet again, enabling convenient unfolding.
[0042] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram showing the structure of the utility model's folding ring plate and toilet seat ring, as shown below. Figure 7 As shown, a positioning rib 22 is provided at the lower end of the toilet seat 2. During installation, the positioning rib 22 facilitates the quick positioning and fixation of the folding ring plate 31 in the corresponding position. Furthermore, the positioning rib 22 can further prevent displacement of the toilet seat 2 during use, ensuring user comfort and safety. In a specific embodiment, there may be one or more positioning ribs 22, evenly distributed at the lower end of the toilet seat 2. The shape and size of the positioning rib 22 can be designed according to actual needs to ensure a tight fit with the folding ring plate 31.
[0043] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 7 In a specific embodiment, the toilet base 1 is provided with multiple connecting posts 11, and the outer edge of the lowest folding ring plate 31 is provided with multiple connecting blocks 317 corresponding to the connecting posts 11. By passing bolts through the connecting blocks 317 and the connecting posts 11 in sequence and tightening them, the lowest folding ring plate 31 is fixedly connected to the toilet base 1. Similarly, the top edge of the uppermost folding ring plate 31 extends inward to form a connecting plate 318. By passing bolts through the bolt holes on the connecting plate 318 and screwing them into the threaded holes on the toilet seat 2, the uppermost folding ring plate 31 is fixedly connected to the toilet seat 2.

In this way, this utility model is also intended to cover such modifications and changes if they fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents. The word "comprising" does not exclude the presence of other elements or steps not listed in the claims. The simple fact that certain measures are described in mutually different dependent claims does not indicate that a combination of these measures cannot be used for profit. Any reference numerals in the claims should not be considered as limiting the scope.
