Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of home decoration and bathroom technology, and in particular to a toilet seat and toilet. Background Technology

[0002] As living standards continue to improve, people's demand for home decoration and bathroom fixtures is also constantly increasing. Bathroom fixtures, as an important part of home decoration, play a significant role in improving the quality of life. Toilets are a common type of bathroom fixture, providing people with a convenient living experience.

[0003] A toilet includes a toilet seat, which provides a comfortable seat and enhances user comfort. The ease of installation and removal of the seat directly impacts the overall toilet experience. During use, toilet seats may become damaged or accumulate dirt, requiring replacement or cleaning. Therefore, designing a toilet seat structure that facilitates easy removal is an important consideration. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a toilet seat and toilet that facilitates the removal of the seat.

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a toilet seat ring. The toilet seat ring includes a fixed base, a seat ring, a limiting member, and an elastic member. The fixed base is used to connect to the toilet body. The seat ring is connected to the fixed base and can rotate around a preset direction; the seat ring is provided with a positioning hole. The limiting member is movably disposed on the fixed base along the preset direction, with one end of the limiting member located within the positioning hole. One end of the elastic member abuts against the fixed base, and the other end of the elastic member abuts against the other end of the limiting member. When the seat ring is subjected to a tensile force perpendicular to the preset direction, it forces the limiting member to move along the preset direction until the limiting member exits the positioning hole and separates from the seat ring.

[0006] This application also provides a toilet. The toilet includes a toilet body and the aforementioned toilet seat, with the toilet seat fixed to the toilet body.

[0007] The toilet seat and toilet provided in this application have a quick-release structure formed between the rotatably connected seat and fixed base through the engagement of a movable limiting member and a positioning hole on the seat. The position of the limiting member is controlled by an elastic member, which can apply force to the limiting member to ensure that one end of the limiting member is located in the positioning hole on the seat, thus limiting the seat. The free extension and retraction of the elastic member facilitates the disassembly of the seat.

[0008] In some embodiments, the fixing base is provided with a first slot and a second slot at intervals along a preset direction, and the seat ring is provided with a first protrusion and a second protrusion at intervals along the preset direction. The first protrusion is located in the first slot, and the second protrusion is located in the second slot. A positioning hole is provided on the side of the first protrusion and the second protrusion that is far apart from each other. In this way, the connection stability between the seat ring and the fixing base can be improved by the cooperation between the slots and the protrusions.

[0009] In some embodiments, a guide groove communicating with the positioning hole is provided on the side of the first protrusion and the second protrusion that is far from each other. The end of the guide groove that is far from the positioning hole is through-hole, and the limiting member can exit the positioning hole along the guide groove. In this way, the relative movement between the limiting member and the seat ring can be guided by the setting of the guide groove.

[0010] In some embodiments, the guide groove includes a bottom wall and two side walls disposed opposite each other on the bottom wall, with the portion of the bottom wall near the positioning hole inclined relative to a predetermined direction. This allows the inclined portion of the bottom wall to form a ramp, facilitating the guidance of the limiting member to disengage from the positioning hole.

[0011] In some implementations, the distance between the two sidewalls is less than the diameter of the positioning hole. This allows control over the disengagement dimension of the limiting member by adjusting the relationship between the width of the guide groove and the diameter of the positioning hole.

[0012] In some embodiments, a first groove extending through one end is provided on the side of the first protrusion near the second protrusion, and a first rotating member is provided on the fixed base, with one end of the first rotating member located within the first groove. This allows the stability of the seat ring and the fixed base during relative rotation to be improved via the first rotating member.

[0013] In some implementations, the first rotating element is a damper. This allows the damping characteristics of the damper to be used to control the slow descent of the seat ring.

[0014] In some embodiments, a second groove extending through one end is provided on the side of the second protrusion near the first protrusion, and a second rotating member is provided on the fixed base, with one end of the second rotating member located within the second groove. This allows the stability of the seat ring and the fixed base during relative rotation to be improved via the second rotating member.

[0015] In some embodiments, the end of the limiting member that extends into the positioning hole is chamfered. This allows for easier disengagement of the limiting member from the positioning hole by providing a chamfer at one end of the limiting member. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the various embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, those skilled in the art will understand that many technical details have been presented in the various embodiments of this application to enable readers to better understand this application. However, even without these technical details and various changes and modifications based on the following embodiments, the technical solutions claimed in this application can be implemented. The division of the various embodiments below is for the convenience of description and should not constitute any limitation on the specific implementation of this application. The various embodiments can be combined with and referenced by each other without contradiction.

[0024] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains; the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the application; the terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, in the specification, claims, and foregoing description of the drawings are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.

[0025] In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, technical terms such as "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0026] In existing toilet technology, the seat connection structure uses an interference fit between the shaft and the hole. This type of fit is easily affected by the dimensions of the shaft and hole components, resulting in instability. Furthermore, it places high demands on the manufacturing process of the components. When the seat is forcibly removed and replaced, the connection structure is easily damaged. Moreover, with repeated disassembly and reassembly, the tightness of the connection at the mating points can be affected.

[0027] To facilitate the disassembly of the toilet seat, some embodiments of this application provide a toilet seat. The toilet seat uses a limiting member to achieve the fit between the seat and the fixed seat. When the seat is subjected to external tension, the seat exerts a force on the limiting member, causing the limiting member to move until it separates from the seat. After separation, the seat can be removed. The limiting member controls the fit with the seat through an elastic element. The disassembly force can be controlled by the elastic force of the elastic element, and the disassembly force is unaffected by the size of the part or the number of uses, ensuring stability and reliability. Furthermore, the free extension and retraction of the elastic element allows for convenient disassembly of the seat.

[0028] The following is combined Figures 1 to 6 This application describes the structure of a toilet seat provided in some embodiments.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, some embodiments of this application provide a toilet seat ring including a fixed base 11, a seat ring 12, a limiting member 13, and an elastic member 14. The fixed base 11 is used to connect to the toilet body. The seat ring 12 is connected to the fixed base 11 and can rotate in a preset direction ( Figure 1 Rotating in the direction indicated by the middle arrow X, the seat ring 12 is provided with a positioning hole 121. A limiting member 13 is movably disposed on the fixed base 11 along a preset direction, with one end of the limiting member 13 located within the positioning hole 121. One end of the elastic member 14 abuts against the fixed base 11, and the other end of the elastic member 14 abuts against the other end of the limiting member 13. When the seat ring 12 is subjected to a tensile force perpendicular to the preset direction, it forces the limiting member 13 to move along the preset direction until the limiting member 13 exits the positioning hole 121 and separates from the seat ring 12.

[0030] The fixed seat 11 is the part that connects to the toilet body and can be fixed to the rear of the toilet body. The fixed seat 11 provides a connection base for the seat ring 12, and other components can also be arranged on the inner side of the fixed seat 11. The seat ring 12 and the fixed seat 11 are rotatably connected, and the seat ring 12 can rotate relative to the fixed seat 11 to change between the raised and lowered states. The preset direction is the direction of the rotation axis of the seat ring 12. The rotatable connection between the seat ring 12 and the fixed seat 11 can be achieved by a rotating shaft or a buffer damper. The use of a buffer damper ensures that the seat ring 12 falls slowly when lowered. At the same time, the engagement of the rotating shaft or the buffer damper is achieved by a through groove at one end to avoid affecting the normal installation and removal of the seat ring 12.

[0031] A positioning hole 121 is provided at the mating position between the seat ring 12 and the fixed base 11, enabling a quick-release structure. A limiting member 13, a movable component on the fixed base 11, engages with the positioning hole 121 on the seat ring 12 to limit its movement, ensuring that the seat ring 12 does not separate from the fixed base 11 during normal rotation. The limiting member 13 and the fixed base 11 are engaged by an elastic member 14, which can be a spring, sheet, or other component with elastic properties. When compressed, the elastic member 14 exerts a force on the limiting member 13, ensuring that the end of the limiting member 13 remains within the positioning hole 121, preventing the seat ring 12 from separating from the fixed base 11 along a predetermined direction perpendicular to it. The axial direction of the positioning hole 121 can be parallel to the predetermined direction or form an angle with it.

[0032] When the seat ring 12 needs to be disassembled, it can be pulled vertically along a preset direction, thereby applying force to the limiting member 13 and forcing the elastic member 14 to compress. This continues until the limiting member 13 is completely disengaged from the positioning hole 121 and separates from the seat ring 12. The seat ring 12 can then be removed from the fixed seat 11. When assembling the seat ring 12, the limiting member 13 can be squeezed to compress the elastic member 14 until one end of the limiting member 13 enters the positioning hole 121. This completes the engagement between the seat ring 12 and the fixed seat 11. The force of the elastic member 14 ensures that one end of the limiting member 13 remains within the positioning hole 121, thus limiting the seat ring 12. In practice, a beveled fit can be designed between the limiting member 13 and the wall of the positioning hole 121 to create a force that allows the limiting member 13 to move along a preset direction.

[0033] In some embodiments of this application, the toilet seat rings provided feature a quick-release structure formed between the rotatably connected seat ring 12 and fixed seat 11 by the engagement of a movable limiting member 13 with a positioning hole 121 on the seat ring 12. The position of the limiting member 13 is controlled by an elastic member 14, which applies force to the limiting member 13 to ensure that one end of the limiting member 13 is located within the positioning hole 121 on the seat ring 12, thus limiting the position of the seat ring 12. The freely extendable and retractable nature of the elastic member 14 facilitates the disassembly of the seat ring 12.

[0034] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the fixing base 11 can be provided with a first slot 111 and a second slot 112 at intervals along a preset direction, and the seat ring 12 is provided with a first protrusion 122 and a second protrusion 123 at intervals along a preset direction. The first protrusion 122 is located in the first slot 111, and the second protrusion 123 is located in the second slot 112. A positioning hole 121 is provided on the side of the first protrusion 122 and the second protrusion 123 that are far apart from each other.

[0035] In other words, the seat ring 12 and the fixed seat 11 can form a mating area using protruding and recessed structures. The recessed structure is formed on the fixed seat 11, specifically a first slot 111 and a second slot 112 spaced apart along a predetermined direction. The protruding structure is formed on the seat ring 12, specifically a first protrusion 122 and a second protrusion 123 spaced apart along a predetermined direction. When the seat ring 12 and the fixed seat 11 are in a mating state, the first protrusion 122 is located within the first slot 111, and the second protrusion 123 is located within the second slot 112. The positioning hole 121 can be located on the side where the first protrusion 122 and the second protrusion 123 are far apart. This allows different mating areas to form a quick-release structure where the limiting member 13 engages with the positioning hole 121, improving the mating stability between the seat ring 12 and the fixed seat 11.

[0036] In addition, a guide groove 124 communicating with the positioning hole 121 may be provided on the side of the first protrusion 122 and the second protrusion 123 that are far away from each other. The end of the guide groove 124 that is far away from the positioning hole 121 is provided through, and the limiting member 13 can exit the positioning hole 121 along the guide groove 124.

[0037] The guide groove 124 facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the seat ring 12. During assembly and disassembly, the guide groove 124 guides the relative movement between the seat ring 12 and the limiting member 13, thereby guiding the seat ring 12 and the limiting member 13 to separate or engage. The guide groove 124 limits the relative movement path between the seat ring 12 and the limiting member 13, thus ensuring the stability of the seat ring 12 during assembly and disassembly.

[0038] like Figure 4As shown, the guide groove 124 may include a bottom wall 1241 and two side walls 1242 disposed opposite to each other on the bottom wall 1241. The portion of the bottom wall 1241 near the positioning hole 121 is inclined relative to a preset direction.

[0039] The bottom wall 1241 of the guide groove 124 is formed at the bottom of the guide groove 124. By tilting the portion of the bottom wall 1241 near the positioning hole 121 relative to a preset direction, it is easy to guide one end of the limiting member 13 to smoothly exit or smoothly enter the positioning hole 121. When the portion of the bottom wall 1241 is tilted, one end of the bottom wall 1241 is flush with the bottom surface of the positioning hole 121, while the other end of the bottom wall 1241 is located in the middle of the positioning hole 121, forming a gap with the bottom surface of the positioning hole 121. The tilted portion of the bottom wall 1241 forms a ramp on the relative movement path of the seat ring 12 and the limiting member 13. While guiding the relative movement of the seat ring 12 and the limiting member 13, it forces the limiting member 13 to move along a preset direction, compressing the elastic member 14 until the limiting member 13 is completely separated from the seat ring 12. Alternatively, the elastic restoring force of the elastic element 14 can be used to move the limiting element 13 along a preset direction until the limiting element 13 engages with the positioning hole 121 on the seat ring 12.

[0040] In some embodiments, the distance between the two sidewalls 1242 is less than the diameter of the positioning hole 121.

[0041] By controlling the distance between the two sidewalls 1242 to be less than the diameter of the positioning hole 121, the size by which the limiting member 13 disengages from the positioning hole 121 can be limited. When the seat ring 12 rotates relative to the fixed seat 11, the relative angular relationship between the guide groove 124 and the limiting member 13 also changes. This facilitates control over the assembly and disassembly orientation of the seat ring 12.

[0042] In practice, the seat ring 12 can be switched between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the seat ring 12 lies flat on the toilet body; in the second position, it lies vertically on the toilet body. When the seat ring 12 is in the second position, it can be disassembled to control the angle at which it is installed or removed. When the seat ring 12 is in other positions, the limiting member 13 restricts the relative movement between the seat ring 12 and the limiting member 13.

[0043] In other words, the structure of the limiting member 13 and the size relationship between the limiting member 13 and the guide groove 124 can be designed to control the assembly and disassembly angles of the seat ring 12, ensuring that the seat ring 12 does not separate from the fixed seat 11 in other mating directions. In practice, the end of the limiting member 13 that extends into the positioning hole 121 may have a non-circular cross-section, and the end of the limiting member 13 may have different lengths in at least two different directions perpendicular to the preset direction. The width of the guide groove 124 is greater than the minimum length of the end of the limiting member 13 and less than the maximum length of the end of the limiting member 13. The limiting member 13 and the elastic member 14 can be mounted on the back side of the fixed seat 11 via the first mounting member 113.

[0044] In some embodiments, the end of the limiting member 13 that extends into the positioning hole 121 may be provided with a chamfer.

[0045] By providing a chamfer at one end of the limiting member 13 that extends into the positioning hole 121, a shape with a varying diameter can be formed at the end of the limiting member 13. For example... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when the seat ring 12 is pulled to disassemble, it compresses the limiting member 13. Utilizing the chamfer at the end of the limiting member 13 and / or the slope at the bottom wall 1241 of the guide groove 124, relative movement between the limiting member 13 and the seat ring 12 is easily achieved. This continues until the limiting member 13 disengages from the positioning hole 121 and completely separates from the seat ring 12.

[0046] In practice, the positioning hole 121 can also be designed as a frustum shape, narrower inside and wider outside, that is, the hole wall of the positioning hole 121 can be made into a cone shape. Similarly, when an external force perpendicular to the preset direction is applied to the seat ring 12, it can drive the limiting member 13 to move along the preset direction until the limiting member 13 disengages from the engagement with the positioning hole 121.

[0047] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first protrusion 122 has a first groove extending through one end on the side near the second protrusion 123, and the fixing base 11 is provided with a first rotating member 15, one end of which is located in the first groove.

[0048] One end of the first groove is through-hole, allowing one end of the first rotating member 15 to slide within the first groove during the assembly and disassembly of the seat ring 12. This avoids affecting the assembly and disassembly of the seat ring 12. Simultaneously, the first groove restricts the mating area between the first rotating member 15 and the first protrusion 122, ensuring the stability of the seat ring 12 when rotating relative to the fixed seat 11.

[0049] Alternatively, the first rotating member 15 can be a buffer damper.

[0050] By utilizing the damping characteristics of the buffer damper, the seat ring 12 can be lowered slowly, thereby controlling its rotation speed and improving the user experience. The buffer damper can be mounted on the back of the fixed base 11 via the second mounting piece 114.

[0051] In some embodiments, the second protrusion 123 is provided with a second groove extending through one end on the side near the first protrusion 122, and the fixing base 11 is provided with a second rotating member 16, one end of which is located in the second groove.

[0052] One end of the second groove is through-hole, allowing one end of the second rotating member 16 to slide within the second groove during the assembly and disassembly of the seat ring 12. This avoids affecting the assembly and disassembly of the seat ring 12. Simultaneously, the second groove restricts the mating area between the second rotating member 16 and the second protrusion 123, ensuring the stability of the seat ring 12 when rotating relative to the fixed seat 11.

[0053] Some embodiments of this application also provide a toilet, which includes a toilet body and the aforementioned toilet seat. The toilet seat fixing base 11 is connected to the toilet body.

[0054] The toilet body is the main part of the toilet, including the inlet and outlet water supply and the toilet bowl. The toilet seat 11 is mounted on the toilet body, and the seat 12 can rotate relative to the seat 11 to switch between a lowered and raised position. When the seat 12 is in the lowered position, it functions as a gasket.

[0055] By positioning one end of the limiting member 13 within the positioning hole 121 on the seat ring 12, the seat ring 12 is limited. The elastic member 14's ability to freely extend and retract facilitates the disassembly of the seat ring 12. It also facilitates the installation of the seat ring 12.

[0056] Those skilled in the art will understand that the above embodiments are specific examples of implementing this application, and in practical applications, various changes can be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of this application.
