Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom technology, and in particular to a quick-release structure and a toilet. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, products on the market often hide some of their functional structures inside the casing. On the one hand, this is to make the product more aesthetically pleasing while ensuring its functionality. On the other hand, some products also have a disassembly structure between the functional structure and the casing to ensure the maintenance and replacement of the structure.
[0003] For toilets, whether they are lift-up toilets with detachable bases or regular toilets, the bowl-shaped surface (referring to the bowl-shaped surface formed inside the toilet seat) is located inside the casing and is usually connected in the following ways: one is by a snap-fit structure or screws, which can easily cause wear and tear if the product is frequently disassembled and reassembled, and is also cumbersome; the other is to add a direct contact spring-loaded structure for easy disassembly and assembly, but if space is limited, placing it on the outside may affect the aesthetics.

[0037] A toilet is provided with any of the quick-release structures described above, wherein the main body is a toilet body and the toilet body is mounted on a base.
[0038] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0039] 1. This utility model features a simple structure and convenient installation. The quick-release design, through the cooperation of a pin assembly and a slider assembly, enables rapid locking and unlocking between the main body and the base. In the locked state, the pin assembly extends into the pin cavity to ensure a secure connection; during unlocking, the drive component moves the slider, unlocking the pin and causing it to retract from the pin cavity, allowing the main body to easily separate from the base. This structure is easy to operate, enabling rapid disassembly and assembly of the equipment, facilitating maintenance, cleaning, or component replacement.
[0040] 2. The first pin assembly of this utility model is retractable, and the first slider assembly is connected to the first slider via a first connector and slidably mounted on the support plate. In the locked state, the first pin assembly and the first slider mutually limit each other to ensure connection stability; when unlocking, pulling the first connector moves the first slider, which abuts against the first pin to retract it, achieving quick unlocking. This design makes the unlocking operation more direct and reliable, and the layout of each component is reasonable, which is conducive to structural compactness.
[0041] 3. This utility model adds a first elastic element and a first pin base, giving the first pin assembly better elasticity and stability. The first elastic element is located between the first pin and the first pin base, providing elastic force in the locked state to ensure the first pin is tightly abutted against the pin cavity, enhancing the connection's firmness; in the unlocking state, it also assists the first pin in quickly resetting, improving the smoothness and reliability of operation, and also helps extend the service life of the component.
[0042] 4. This utility model clarifies the sliding direction relationship between the first slider assembly and the first pin assembly, as well as the setting of the pin cavity, the first inclined surface and the first limiting groove on the support plate. The first inclined surface and the first limiting groove on the toilet support plate cooperate with the second inclined surface of the first pin and the third inclined surface of the first slider to form a clever self-locking and unlocking mechanism. In the locked state, the partial contact between the inclined surfaces effectively prevents the toilet body from loosening or shifting during use, ensuring the stability of the connection. When unlocking, the movement of the first slider causes the components to interact, realizing the automatic disengagement of the first pin. The operation is simple and effortless. During the unlocking process, before the toilet body detaches from the base, the first slider remains in contact with the first pin to prevent the first pin from popping out again. This inclined surface design also has a certain guiding effect, helping the pin to be inserted into the first limiting groove more accurately, improving the success rate and efficiency of installation.
[0043] 5. This utility model also provides another structural form for the pin assembly and slider assembly. The second pin assembly cooperates with the retractable second slider assembly, and the second elastic element is disposed between the support plate and the second slider. In the locked state, the second pin and the second slider mutually limit each other to ensure stable connection; when unlocking, pulling the second connecting piece drives the second slider to compress the second elastic element and move, thereby unlocking. This design provides different technical solutions, increasing the diversity and flexibility of the product to adapt to different application scenarios and needs.
[0044] 6. This utility model further optimizes the locking and unlocking structure by providing an annular groove on the second pin that mates with the second slider, and a through hole on the second slider that mates with the second pin. In the locked state, the second slider is inserted into the annular groove of the second pin, forming a tight limiting structure and improving the reliability of the connection; when unlocked, the second slider disengages from the annular groove, simplifying operation and making the fit between components more precise, thus enhancing the stability and service life of the overall structure.
[0045] 7. The first limiting structure of this utility model, through the cooperation of the retractable first locking pin assembly and the slot, can effectively limit the movement of the second slider in the direction of the elastic force of the second elastic element when the quick-release structure is in the unlocked state. When the second slider moves to the unlocked position, the first locking pin automatically pops out and inserts into the slot under the elastic force of the third elastic element, forming a limit and preventing the second slider from accidentally rebounding in the non-operational state, thus ensuring the stability of the unlocked state. This helps to keep the position of the second slider unchanged after the toilet body is separated from the base, facilitating subsequent cleaning and maintenance. It also avoids the problem of misoperation or loose connection caused by the change of slider position, thus improving the reliability and safety of the entire quick-release structure.
[0046] 8. This utility model also provides another method to effectively limit the movement of the second slider in the direction of the elastic force of the second elastic member. Through the cooperation of the retractable second locking pin assembly and the limiting block, when the second slider moves to the unlocked position, the second locking pin pops out under the elastic force of the fourth elastic member and mutually limits the limiting block, further enhancing the stability of the position of the second slider.
[0047] 9. The first limiting structure and the second limiting structure of this utility model can be used simultaneously. This dual limiting design provides a more reliable guarantee, ensuring that the second slider will not move unexpectedly under various usage conditions, improving the stability and safety of the quick-release structure. It is especially suitable for occasions where the stability of the toilet is required to be high, such as public places and frequently used family bathrooms, effectively reducing safety hazards and usage failures caused by loose or displaced parts.
[0048] 10. This utility model designs the driving component as a steel rope, which is connected to the outer wall of the base via a pull ring or button. The position of the pull ring or operating steel wire rope button can be arbitrarily arranged, ensuring product integrity while making the unlocking operation more convenient. The pull ring connection to the outer wall of the base makes unlocking easier and less strenuous. Pulling the pull ring moves the steel rope, which in turn drives the slider to move and unlock. This structure is simple and easy to operate. The flexibility and strength of the steel rope allow it to effectively transmit tension at different angles and positions, making it suitable for various installation environments and improving the product's practicality and versatility.
[0049] A toilet, compared with the prior art, has at least the following technical effects:
[0050] The toilet features quick-release assembly / disassembly, significantly enhancing the user experience and ease of maintenance. Users can easily disassemble and install the toilet body and base, facilitating cleaning, disinfection, repair, or replacement of internal parts, reducing time and effort spent on cleaning and maintenance. This quick-release design also simplifies installation, eliminating the need for complex tools or specialized skills, lowering installation difficulty and error rates, and improving the overall performance and market competitiveness of the toilet, thus meeting consumer demand for convenient, efficient, and easy-to-maintain sanitary ware.

Detailed Implementation
[0061] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0062] First embodiment:
[0063] Please see Figures 1 to 5 A quick-release structure includes a main body 3 and a base 1. The main body 3 is mounted on the base 1, and a quick-release structure with a locked state and an unlocked state is provided between the main body 3 and the base 1. The quick-release structure includes a pin assembly and a slider assembly, which are respectively disposed on the main body 3 and the base 1. The slider assembly includes a slider and a driving component for driving the slider to slide. The pin assembly includes a pin. The base 1 or the main body 3 is provided with a pin cavity corresponding to the pin. When the quick-release structure is in the locked state, the pin assembly extends into the pin cavity to lock the main body 3 and the base 1. When the driving component drives the slider to move from the limited position in the locked state to the unlocked position, the slider unlocks the pin so that it can exit the pin cavity, and the quick-release structure switches from the locked state to the unlocked state, so that the main body 3 can move upward to separate from the base 1.
[0064] This utility model features a simple structure and convenient installation. The quick-release design, through the cooperation of a pin assembly and a slider assembly, enables rapid locking and unlocking between the main body 3 and the base 1. In the locked state, the pin assembly extends into the pin cavity, ensuring a secure connection. When unlocking, the drive component moves the slider, disengaging the pin and allowing it to exit the pin cavity, thus easily separating the main body 3 from the base 1. This structure is easy to operate, enabling rapid disassembly and assembly of the equipment, facilitating maintenance, cleaning, or component replacement.
[0065] In this embodiment, the base 1 is provided with a support plate 2 on its top. The pin assembly includes a retractable first pin assembly 41, which includes a first pin 412. The slider assembly includes a first slider 422 of the first slider assembly 42 and a driving member for driving the first slider 422 to slide. The driving member includes a first connector 421.
[0066] When the quick-release structure is in the locked state, the first connector 421 is connected to the first slider 422 and slides on the support plate 2. The first pin assembly 41 extends into the pin cavity and is fixed on the support plate 2, and is mutually limited with the first slider 422 to lock the main body 3 and the base 1.
[0067] When the first connector 421 is pulled by an external force, it causes the first slider 422 to move from the limited position in the locked state to the unlocked position, abutting against the first pin 412 and causing it to retract and exit the pin cavity. The quick-release structure switches from the locked state to the unlocked state, so that the main body 3 can move upward to separate from the base 1.
[0068] Preferably, one end of the first connector 421 is connected to the first slider 422, and the other end is connected to a pull ring (not shown in the figure) disposed on the outer wall of the toilet; when the pull ring is pulled by an external force, it pulls the first connector 421.
[0069] The first pin assembly 41 of this invention is retractable, and the first slider assembly 42 is connected to the first slider 422 via the first connector 421 and slidably mounted on the support plate 2. In the locked state, the first pin assembly 41 and the first slider 422 mutually limit each other, ensuring connection stability. When unlocking, pulling the first connector 421 moves the first slider 422, causing it to abut against the first pin 412 and retract, achieving rapid unlocking. This design makes the unlocking operation more direct and reliable, and the reasonable layout of the components contributes to a compact structure.
[0070] In this embodiment, the first pin assembly 41 further includes a first elastic element 411 and a first pin base 413. The first pin assembly 41 is fixed to the main body 3 through the first pin base 413, and the first elastic element 411 is disposed between the first pin 412 and the first pin base 413.
[0071] The first pin assembly 41 of this utility model, through the cooperation of the first elastic element 411, the first pin 412 and the first pin base 413, enables the first pin 412 to be firmly inserted into the limiting groove under the action of elastic force in the locked state, ensuring a tight connection between the main body 3 and the base 1; when disassembly is required, the first elastic element 411 can provide the necessary elastic feedback, so that the first pin 412 can be smoothly compressed and disengaged from the first limiting groove 31, realizing quick unlocking; this structure not only improves the reliability of the connection, but also ensures the smoothness of disassembly and assembly operations. At the same time, the design of the elastic element also helps to extend the service life of the pin and reduce wear caused by frequent insertion and removal.
[0072] In this embodiment, the sliding direction of the first slider assembly 42 intersects the telescopic direction of the first pin 412; the pin cavity includes a first limiting groove 31 that cooperates with the first pin 412, and a first inclined surface 21 is provided on the support plate 2, with the first limiting groove 31 located below the first inclined surface 21; the first slider 422 extends into the first limiting groove 31 or the first pin 412 extends out of the first limiting groove 31 so that the first slider 422 and the first pin 412 can abut against each other;
[0073] The first pin 412 has a second inclined surface 4121 that cooperates with the first inclined surface 21, and the first slider 422 has a third inclined surface 4221 that cooperates with the second inclined surface 4121.
[0074] When the quick-release structure is in the locked state, the first pin 412 pops out in the direction of the elastic force under the action of the first elastic member 411 and inserts into the first limiting groove 31, and the second inclined surface 4121 and the third inclined surface 4221 partially abut against each other to limit each other.
[0075] When the first connector 421 is pulled by an external force, it causes the first slider 422 to move upward. The first pin 412 is compressed by the pressure of the first slider 422 to compress the first elastic member 411 until the first slider 422 moves upward to the unlock position. Then the first pin 412 disengages from the first limiting groove 31 to release the limit, and the bottom edge of the third inclined surface 4221 abuts against the top edge of the second inclined surface 4121.
[0076] For the installation method of the first embodiment of this utility model, please refer to [reference needed]. Figures 1 to 3 In its natural state, the first slider 422 is positioned below the first limiting groove 31 under the influence of gravity. The main body 3 is placed on the support plate 2 and pressed down. The first inclined surface 21 guides the first pin assembly 41. The first pin 412 is compressed by pressure, causing the first elastic element 411 to move downward. When installed in place, the first slider 422 extends into the first limiting groove 31 or the first pin 412 extends out of the first limiting groove 31. The second inclined surface 4121 and the third inclined surface 4221 partially abut against each other to limit each other, thus fixing the main body 3 on the base 1.
[0077] For the disassembly method of the first embodiment of this utility model, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 4 , 5 When it is necessary to disassemble the main body 3 and the base 1, the user pulls the pull ring, pulls the first connecting piece 421, and drives the first slider 422 to move upward. The first pin 412 is compressed by the pressure of the first slider 422, and the first elastic piece 411 is compressed until the first slider 422 moves upward to the unlock position. The first pin 412 disengages from the first limiting groove 31 to release the limit, so that the main body 3 can move upward to separate from the base 1. The bottom edge of the third inclined surface 4221 abuts against the top edge of the second inclined surface 4121, and the first slider 422 will not fall downward. At this time, the main body 3 is lifted, and the main body 3 and the base 1 can be separated. After separation, the first slider 422 falls back to the bottom of the toilet.
[0078] This utility model clarifies the sliding direction relationship between the first slider assembly 42 and the first pin assembly 41, as well as the setting of the pin cavity, the first inclined surface 21 and the first limiting groove 31 on the support plate 2. The first inclined surface 21 and the first limiting groove 31 on the support plate 2 cooperate with the second inclined surface 4121 of the first pin 412 and the third inclined surface 4221 of the first slider 422 to form a clever self-locking and unlocking mechanism. In the locked state, the partial contact between the inclined surfaces can effectively prevent the main body 3 from loosening or shifting during use, ensuring the stability of the connection. When unlocking, the movement of the first slider 422 causes the components to interact, realizing the automatic disengagement of the first pin 412, which is simple and labor-saving. This inclined surface cooperation design also has a certain guiding effect, which helps the pin to be inserted into the first limiting groove 31 more accurately, improving the success rate and efficiency of installation.
[0079] The second and third embodiments of this utility model can be applied independently or simultaneously. The difference between the second and third embodiments lies in the limiting structures used when the quick-release structure is in the unlocked state. It should be noted that in the second and third embodiments, the effect of long-distance disassembly can be achieved without the corresponding limiting structures. The corresponding limiting structures in the two embodiments only further limit the second sliders 443a / 443b, further improving the disassembly efficiency. Figures 6 to 9 For ease of understanding and explanation, the second and third embodiments are applied simultaneously.
[0080] Second embodiment:
[0081] Please see Figures 6 to 9The base 1 has a support plate 2 on its top, and a connecting plate 5 is installed on the main body 3. The pin assembly includes a second pin assembly, which includes a second pin 43. The slider assembly includes a second slider 443a of a retractable second slider assembly 44a and a driving member for driving the second slider 443a to slide. The driving member includes a second connecting member 441a.
[0082] The second slider assembly 44a also includes a second elastic element 442a;
[0083] When the quick-release structure is in the locked state, the second connecting piece 441a is connected to the second slider 443a and fixed on the support plate 2 (specifically on the left bottom shell 23 of the support plate), the second elastic piece 442a is disposed between the support plate 2 and the second slider 443a; the second pin 43 is fixed on the connecting plate 5 and mutually limits the second slider 443a to lock the main body 3 and the base 1.
[0084] When the second connector 441a is pulled by an external force, it causes the second slider 443a to compress the second elastic member 442a. The second slider 443a moves from the limited position in the locked state to the compression direction of the second elastic member 442a to the unlocked position. The quick-release structure switches from the locked state to the unlocked state, so that the main body 3 can move upward to separate from the base 1.
[0085] This utility model also provides another structural form for implementing a different pin assembly and slider assembly. The second pin assembly cooperates with the retractable second slider assembly 44a / 44b, and the second elastic element 442a / 442b is disposed between the support plate 2 and the second slider 443a / 443b. In the locked state, the second pin 43 and the second slider 443a / 443b mutually limit each other, ensuring a stable connection; when unlocking, pulling the second connecting piece 441a / 441b causes the second slider 443a / 443b to compress the second elastic element 442a / 442b, thus unlocking the device. This design provides different technical solutions, increasing product diversity and flexibility to adapt to different application scenarios and needs.
[0086] Preferably, one end of the second connector 441a is connected to the second slider 443a, and the other end is connected to the second pull ring (not shown in the figure) disposed on the outer wall of the toilet; when the second pull ring is pulled by an external force, it pulls the second connector 441a.
[0087] This invention connects the second connector 441a / 441b to the second pull ring on the outer wall of the toilet, further optimizing the operation method. Users only need to pull the second pull ring on the outer wall of the toilet to easily pull the second connector 441a / 441b, thereby controlling the movement of the second slider 443a / 443b to unlock the toilet. This eliminates the need to enter the toilet or perform other complex operations, improving the user experience. At the same time, the external pull ring design also makes it convenient for users to operate from different angles and positions, especially suitable for occasions with limited space or inconvenient operation, such as small bathrooms and accessible bathrooms, further expanding the applicability of the toilet.
[0088] In this embodiment, the second pin 43 is provided with an annular groove 431a that cooperates with the second slider 443a, and the second slider 443a is provided with a through hole (not shown in the figure) that cooperates with the second pin 43.
[0089] When the quick-release structure is in the locked state, the second slider 443a moves in the direction of the elastic force under the action of the second elastic member 442a, the second pin 43 is sleeved in the through hole, the second slider 443a is inserted into the annular groove 431a, and the second slider 443a and the annular groove 431a limit each other.
[0090] When the second slider 443a moves to the unlock position, it disengages from the annular groove 431a to release the limit.
[0091] This invention provides an annular groove 431a / 431b on the second pin 43 to mate with the second sliders 443a / 443b, and a through hole on the second sliders 443a / 443b to mate with the second pin 43, further optimizing the locking and unlocking structure. In the locked state, the second sliders 443a / 443b are inserted into the annular groove 431a / 431b of the second pin 43, forming a tight limiting structure and improving the reliability of the connection. When unlocked, the second sliders 443a / 443b disengage from the annular groove 431a / 431b, simplifying operation and improving the precision of the fit between components, thus enhancing the overall stability and service life of the structure. In this embodiment, a through hole is provided at the end of the second slider 443a / 443b, and the second pin 43 is inserted into the through hole at the end of the second slider 443a / 443b and engages with the edge of the through hole and the edge of the second slider 443a / 443b. The through hole is larger than the maximum diameter of the part of the second pin 43 that extends into it, so as to prevent interference with the second pin 43 from being pulled out.
[0092] Furthermore, the quick-release structure described in this embodiment also includes a first limiting structure 61, which is used to limit the movement of the second slider 443a toward the elastic force direction of the second elastic member 442a when unlocking;
[0093] The first limiting structure 61 includes a retractable first locking pin assembly 611 and a first locking groove 4431 that cooperates with the first locking pin assembly 611;
[0094] The first locking pin assembly 611 is disposed on the connecting plate 5, and the first locking groove 4431 is disposed on the second slider 443a;
[0095] The first locking pin assembly 611 includes a third elastic element 6111 and a first locking pin 6112. The third elastic element 6111 is disposed between the first locking pin 6112 and the connecting plate 5. Alternatively, the first locking pin assembly 611 may not have the third elastic element 6111 and may extend solely by its own gravity.
[0096] When the quick-release structure is in the locked state, the first locking pin 6112 is misaligned with the first locking groove 4431;
[0097] When the second slider 443a moves to the unlocked position, the first locking pin 6112 pops out downward under the elastic force of the third elastic member 6111 and inserts into the first locking slot 4431. In this embodiment, the third elastic member 6111 is located between the connecting plate 5 and the first locking pin 6112.
[0098] The first limiting structure 61 of this utility model, through the cooperation of the retractable first locking pin assembly 611 and the first locking groove 4431, can effectively limit the movement of the second slider 443a in the direction of the elastic force of the second elastic member 442a when the quick-release structure is in the unlocked state. When the second slider 443a moves to the unlocked position, the first locking pin 6112 automatically pops out under the elastic force of the third elastic member 6111 and inserts into the first locking groove 4431 to form a limit, preventing the second slider 443a from accidentally rebounding in the non-operational state and ensuring the stability of the unlocked state. It helps to keep the position of the second slider 443a unchanged after the main body 3 is separated from the base 1, which is convenient for subsequent cleaning, maintenance and other work. At the same time, it avoids the problem of misoperation or loose connection caused by the change of slider position, and improves the reliability and safety of the entire quick-release structure.
[0099] Please refer to the installation process of the second and third embodiments of this utility model. Figure 6 , 7 During installation, the main body 3 is placed on the support plate 2, which is connected to the base 1. The connecting plate 5 is installed on the main body 3. The retractable second slider assemblies 44a / 44b are respectively connected to the corresponding second connecting pieces 441a / 441b and fixed on the support plate 2. The connecting plate 5 is inserted into the support plate 2 and then pressed down. The second slider assembly 44a is compressed by the pressure and moves to the left; the second slider assembly 44b is compressed by the pressure and moves to the right. When installed in place, the second slider 443a springs back and gets stuck in the annular groove 431a, and the second slider 443b springs back and gets stuck in the annular groove 431b, thus fixing the main body 3 on the base 1.
[0100] For the disassembly process of the second embodiment of this utility model, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 8 , 9 When it is necessary to disassemble the main body 3 from the base 1, the user pulls the second pull ring, pulls the second connecting piece 441a, drives the second slider 443a to compress the second elastic piece 442a and move it to the left. When the second slider 443a moves to the unlock position, it disengages from the ring groove 431a to release the limit, so that the main body 3 can move upward to separate from the base 1.
[0101] Furthermore, the disassembly efficiency can be further improved by the first limiting structure 61. When the quick-release structure is in the locked state, the first locking pin 6112 is misaligned with the first slot 4431. When the second slider 443a moves to the unlocked position, the first locking pin 6112 pops out downward under the elastic force of the third elastic member 6111 and inserts into the first slot 4431. At this time, the main body 3 is lifted, and the main body 3 and the base 1 can be separated.
[0102] Third embodiment:
[0103] Please see Figures 6 to 9 The base 1 has a support plate 2 on its top, and a connecting plate 5 is installed on the main body 3. The pin assembly includes a second pin assembly, which includes a second pin 43. The slider assembly includes a second slider 443b of a retractable second slider assembly 44b and a driving member for driving the second slider 443b to slide. The driving member includes a second connecting member 441b.
[0104] The second slider assembly 44b also includes a second elastic element 442b;
[0105] When the quick-release structure is in the locked state, the second connector 441b is connected to the second slider 443b and fixed on the support plate 2 (specifically on the right bottom shell 24 of the support plate), the second elastic member 442b is disposed between the support plate 2 and the second slider 443b; the second pin 43 is fixed on the connecting plate 5 and mutually limits the second slider 443b to lock the main body 3 and the base 1.
[0106] When the second connector 441b is pulled by an external force, it causes the second slider 443b to compress the second elastic member 442b. The second slider 443b moves from the limited position in the locked state to the compression direction of the second elastic member 442b to the unlocked position. The quick-release structure switches from the locked state to the unlocked state, so that the main body 3 can move upward to separate from the base 1.
[0107] Preferably, one end of the second connector 441b is connected to the second slider 443b, and the other end is connected to the second pull ring (not shown in the figure) disposed on the outer wall of the toilet; when the second pull ring is pulled by an external force, it pulls the second connector 441b.
[0108] In this embodiment, the second pin 43 is provided with an annular groove 431b that cooperates with the second slider 443b, and the second slider 443b is provided with a through hole (not shown in the figure) that cooperates with the second pin 43.
[0109] When the quick-release structure is in the locked state, the second slider 443b moves in the direction of the elastic force under the action of the second elastic element 442b, the second pin 43 is sleeved in the through hole, the second slider 443b is inserted into the annular groove 431b, and the second slider 443b and the annular groove 431b limit each other.
[0110] When the second slider 443b moves to the unlock position, it disengages from the annular groove 431b to release the limit.
[0111] The structure of the third embodiment is similar to that of the second embodiment, and its beneficial effects are the same as those of the similar structure in the second embodiment, so they will not be described in detail here.
[0112] Furthermore, the quick-release structure described in this embodiment also includes a second limiting structure 62, which is used to restrict the movement of the second slider 443b in the direction of the elastic force of the second elastic member 442b;
[0113] The second limiting structure 62 includes a retractable second locking pin assembly 621 and a limiting block 51 that mutually limits the second locking pin assembly 621;
[0114] The second locking pin assembly 621 is disposed on the second slider 443b, and the limiting block 51 is disposed on the connecting plate 5;
[0115] The second locking pin assembly 621 includes a fourth elastic member 6211 and a second locking pin 6212. The fourth elastic member 6211 is disposed between the second locking pin 6212 and the second slider 443b. The second locking pin 6212 and the second slider 443b form a second locking groove (not shown in the figure) for engaging the locking and limiting block 51.
[0116] When the quick-release structure is in the locked state, the second locking pin assembly 621 and the limiting block 51 are misaligned and abut against each other.
[0117] During the process of the second slider 443b moving from the locked position to the compression direction of the second elastic member 442b to the unlocked position, the second slider 443b drives the second locking pin assembly 621 to move in the compression direction of the second elastic member 442b. When the second slider 443b moves to the unlocked position, the second locking pin 6212 abuts against the bottom of the limiting block 51 under the elastic force of the third elastic member 6111. The second slot formed between the second locking pin 6212 and the second slider 443b limits each other with the limiting block 51.
[0118] The second embodiment and the third embodiment have similar structural parts with the same technical effects, and will not be described in detail here. However, the third embodiment also provides another second limiting structure 62 that can effectively limit the movement of the second slider 443b in the direction of the elastic force of the second elastic member 442b. Through the cooperation of the retractable second locking pin assembly 621 and the limiting block 51, when the second slider 443b moves to the unlocked position, the second locking pin 6212 pops out under the elastic force of the fourth elastic member 6211 and mutually limits the limiting block 51, further enhancing the stability of the position of the second slider 443b.
[0119] For the disassembly process of the third embodiment of this utility model, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 8 , 9 When it is necessary to disassemble the main body 3 from the base 1, the user pulls the second pull ring, pulls the second connecting piece 441b, drives the second slider 443b to compress the second elastic piece 442b and move it to the right. When the second slider 443b moves to the unlock position, it disengages from the ring groove 431b to release the limit, so that the main body 3 can move upward to separate from the base 1.
[0120] Furthermore, the disassembly efficiency can be further improved by the second limiting structure 62. When the quick-release structure is in the locked state, the second locking pin assembly 621 and the limiting block 51 are misaligned and abut against each other. During the process of the second slider 443b moving from the limiting position in the locked state to the compression direction of the second elastic member 442b to the unlocking position, the second slider 443b drives the second locking pin assembly 621 to move in the compression direction of the second elastic member 442b. When the second slider 443b moves to the unlocking position, the second locking pin 6212 pops upward to the right side of the limiting block 51 under the elastic force of the third elastic member 6111. The second locking pin 6212 and the limiting block 51 limit each other. At this time, the main body 3 can be lifted to separate the main body 3 from the base 1.
[0121] Furthermore, the first limiting structure 61 and the second limiting structure 62 of this utility model can be used simultaneously. This dual limiting design provides a more reliable guarantee, ensuring that the second slider 443a / 443b will not move unexpectedly under various usage conditions, thereby improving the stability and safety of the quick-release structure. It is especially suitable for occasions where the stability of the toilet is required to be high, such as public places and frequently used family bathrooms, effectively reducing safety hazards and usage failures caused by loose or displaced parts.
[0122] Preferably, in the three embodiments of this utility model, the driving component includes a steel rope, one end of which is connected to the slider, and the other end is connected to a pull ring disposed on the outer wall of the base; pulling the pull ring will in turn pull the steel rope; specifically, in the three embodiments of this utility model, the connecting component is a steel rope, and the elastic component is a spring.
[0123] This invention designs the driving component as a steel rope, which is connected to the outer wall of the base 1 via a pull ring, making the unlocking operation more convenient and effortless. Pulling the pull ring moves the steel rope, thereby driving the slider to move and unlock. This structure is simple and easy to operate, and the flexibility and strength of the steel rope allow it to effectively transmit tension at different angles and positions, making it suitable for various installation environments and improving the practicality and versatility of the product.
[0124] This utility model also includes a toilet, which is provided with any of the quick-release structures described above, and the main body is a toilet body, which is installed on a base.
[0125] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following technical effects:
[0126] The toilet features quick-release assembly / disassembly, significantly enhancing the user experience and ease of maintenance. Users can easily disassemble and install the toilet body and base, facilitating cleaning, disinfection, repair, or replacement of internal parts, reducing time and effort spent on cleaning and maintenance. This quick-release design also simplifies installation, eliminating the need for complex tools or specialized skills, lowering installation difficulty and error rates, and improving the overall performance and market competitiveness of the toilet, thus meeting consumer demand for convenient, efficient, and easy-to-maintain sanitary ware.
