Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliances technology, and in particular to a toilet footstool. Background Technology
[0002] A toilet footstool is an auxiliary tool placed under the toilet, primarily for supporting the feet. Its main function is to help users comfortably place or apply pressure to their feet while using the toilet, reducing the discomfort caused by prolonged dangling of the feet.
[0003] The current toilet footstools typically have two problems: first, their height is fixed, which means they cannot accommodate people with different heights, such as children and adults; second, their structure is fixed, taking up a lot of space and making them inconvenient to store when not in use. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to propose a toilet footstool that solves the problems of fixed height and inconvenience in storage of existing toilet footstools.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A toilet footstool includes a first footrest, with a vertically protruding folded edge on one side along its width and a C-shaped first clearance opening on the side away from the folded edge. A second footrest is mounted on the folded edge, hinged to the folded edge on one side along its length. The second footrest is swayable around the folded edge so that the first footrest and the second footrest face each other. A C-shaped second clearance opening is provided on the side of the second footrest away from the folded edge. Support plates are respectively mounted on both sides of the first footrest along its length, hinged to the first footrest. The support plates are swayable towards the other side of the first footrest so that the support plates face the first footrest. The width of the first footrest is greater than the width of the second footrest.
[0007] Based on the above scheme and as a preferred embodiment: the second pedal is hinged to the folded edge via a first hinge, one side of the second pedal in the width direction is directly opposite the side of the folded edge away from the first pedal, and the first hinge is located on the side of the folded edge and the second pedal near the first clearance opening; the support plate is hinged to the first pedal via a second hinge, one side of the support plate is directly opposite the plane of the first pedal near the convex direction of the folded edge, the second hinge is located on the side of the support plate near the other support plate, and the side of the support plate near the folded edge is in movable contact with the side of the second pedal near the first clearance opening.
[0008] Based on the above scheme and as a preferred embodiment of the above scheme: the support plate is provided with hollowed-out weight-reduction cuts.
[0009] Based on the above solution and as a preferred embodiment of the above solution: a connecting device is provided between the support plate and the second pedal, and when the support plate and the second pedal are both perpendicular to the first pedal, the support plate can be detachably connected to the second pedal through the connecting device.
[0010] Based on the above solution and as a preferred embodiment of the above solution: a positioning groove is provided on the side of the support plate near the second pedal, a magnet is provided in the positioning groove, a protruding iron block is provided on the second pedal, and when the support plate and the second pedal are both perpendicular to the first pedal, the iron block can be embedded in the positioning groove and magnetically attracted to the magnet.
[0011] Based on the above scheme and as a preferred embodiment of the above scheme: the support plate is provided with elastic pads on both the side away from the second pedal and the side away from the first pedal.
[0012] To address the problems of fixed height and inconvenient storage of existing toilet footstools, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] Firstly, this utility model's toilet footstool has two surfaces—a first pedal and a second pedal—that provide support for the feet. The support height of the first pedal is influenced by the width of the support plate and the second pedal. Generally, the height of the side of the support plate parallel to the second pedal is adapted to the width of the support plate, so that the side of the support plate and the second pedal away from the first pedal are on the same plane. Similarly, the support height of the second pedal is also influenced by the width of the support plate and the second pedal. Generally, the height of the side of the support plate parallel to the first pedal is adapted to the width of the first pedal, so that the side of the support plate and the first pedal away from the folded edge are on the same plane. Because the first and second pedals have different widths—the first pedal is wider than the second pedal—they provide support at different heights. When different support heights are needed, the placement of the toilet footstool can be adjusted to select either the first or second pedal as the support surface for the feet.
[0014] The first footstool is equipped with a first clearance opening, and the second footstool is equipped with a second clearance opening. Both the first and second clearance openings are used to avoid the main body of the toilet when approaching it. At the same time, the support plates on both sides will not interfere with the main body of the toilet. This allows the toilet footstool to be closer to the toilet, allowing the feet to choose a better stepping posture.
[0015] Secondly, the second pedal and the two support plates are all hinged to the first pedal. When the toilet footstool is not needed, the second pedal and the two support plates can be swung to the opposite position of the first pedal, so that the toilet footstool can be folded and stored for easy storage.
[0016] In addition to the objectives, features, and advantages described above, this utility model has other objectives, features, and advantages. The present utility model will now be described in further detail with reference to the figures. Attached Figure Description

[0018] Figure 2 This is an exploded view of the toilet footstool assembly of this utility model.
[0019] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the toilet footstool of this utility model in its folded and stored state. Detailed Implementation
[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0021] See Figure 1-3 This utility model discloses a toilet footstool, which has two different heights for different users, and can be folded and stored away when not in use.
[0022] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the toilet footstool includes a first footrest 100, with a vertically protruding folded edge 101 on one side of the first footrest 100 in the width direction, and a C-shaped first clearance opening 102 on the side away from the folded edge 101; a second footrest 200 is provided on the folded edge 101, with one side of the second footrest 200 in the length direction hinged to the folded edge 101, and the second footrest 200 can swing around the folded edge 101 so that the first footrest 100 and the second footrest 200 are directly opposite each other, and a C-shaped second clearance opening 201 is provided on the side of the second footrest 200 away from the folded edge 101; support plates 300 are respectively provided on both sides of the first footrest 100 in the length direction, and the support plates 300 are hinged to the first footrest 100, and the support plates 300 can swing towards the other side of the first footrest 100 so that the support plates 300 are opposite to the first footrest 100; the width of the first footrest 100 is greater than the width of the second footrest 200.
[0023] First, the toilet footstool of this utility model has two supporting surfaces, a first footrest 100 and a second footrest 200, for supporting the feet. The support height of the first footrest 100 is affected by the width of the support plate 300 and the second footrest 200. Generally, the height of the side of the support plate 300 parallel to the second footrest 200 is adapted to the width of the support plate 300, so that the side of the support plate 300 and the side of the second footrest 200 away from the first footrest 100 are on the same plane. The support height of the second footrest 200 is affected by the width of the support plate 300 and the second footrest 200. Generally, the height of the side of the support plate 300 parallel to the first footrest 100 is adapted to the width of the first footrest 100, so that the side of the support plate 300 and the side of the first footrest 100 away from the folded edge 101 are on the same plane. Because the first footstool 100 and the second footstool 200 have different widths—the first footstool 100 is wider than the second footstool 200, and the width of the first footstool 100 is greater than the sum of the width of the second footstool 200 and the width of the folded edge 101—the first footstool 100 and the second footstool 200 provide support at different heights. When different support heights are needed, the placement of the toilet footstool can be adjusted to select either the first footstool 100 or the second footstool 200 as the support surface for the feet.
[0024] The first footstool 100 is provided with a first clearance opening 102, and the second footstool 200 is provided with a second clearance opening 201. Both the first clearance opening 102 and the second clearance opening 201 are used to avoid the main body of the toilet when approaching it. At the same time, the support plates 300 on both sides will not interfere with the main body of the toilet. This allows the toilet footstool to be closer to the toilet, allowing the feet to choose a better stepping posture.
[0025] In this case, elastic pads 600 can be provided on both the side of the support plate 300 away from the second pedal 200 and the side away from the first pedal 100 for anti-slip and noise reduction.
[0026] Secondly, the second pedal 200 and the two support plates 300 are all hinged to the first pedal 100. When the toilet footstool is not in use, the second pedal 200 and the two support plates 300 can be swung to a position opposite to the first pedal 100, thus folding and storing the toilet footstool. Figure 3 As shown, it is easy to store and place.
[0027] Furthermore, to ensure a more stable support structure for this toilet footstool, the second footstool 200 is hinged to the folded edge 101 via the first hinge 400. One side of the second footstool 200 in the width direction is directly opposite to the side of the folded edge 101 away from the first footstool 100. The first hinge 400 is located on the side of the folded edge 101 and the second footstool 200 near the first clearance opening 102. The support plate 300 is hinged to the first footstool 100 via the second hinge 500. One side of the support plate 300 is directly opposite to the plane of the first footstool 100 near the protruding direction of the folded edge 101. The second hinge 500 is located on the side of the support plate 300 near the other support plate 300. The side of the support plate 300 near the folded edge 101 is in contact with the side of the second footstool 200 near the first clearance opening 102.
[0028] Furthermore, a connecting device is provided between the support plate 300 and the second pedal 200. When the support plate 300 and the second pedal 200 are both perpendicular to the first pedal 100, the support plate 300 can be detachably connected to the second pedal 200 through the connecting device. Through the connection of the connecting device, the stability of the support structure between the first pedal 100, the second pedal 200 and the support plate 300 is maintained.
[0029] The connecting device includes a positioning groove 302 on the side of the support plate 300 near the second pedal 200, a magnet 303 in the positioning groove 302, and a protruding iron block 202 on the second pedal 200. When the support plate 300 and the second pedal 200 are both perpendicular to the first pedal 100, the iron block 202 can be embedded in the positioning groove 302 and magnetically attracted to the magnet 303. During the unfolding process, in order to make the iron block 202 embedded in the positioning groove 302, the second pedal 200 can be slightly bent away from the support plate 300, and then the support plate 300 can be swung so that the positioning groove 302 and the iron block 202 are aligned. At this time, the second pedal 200 is released so that the second pedal 200 is in contact with the side of the support plate 300, and the iron block 202 is embedded in the positioning groove 302 and attracted to the magnet 303.
[0030] Furthermore, the support plate 300 is provided with hollowed-out weight-reduction cutouts 301, which serve both aesthetic decoration and weight reduction purposes.
[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
