Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of side-opening mirror technology, and in particular to a side-opening mirror structure for a toilet in a rail vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] The mirrors used in the restrooms of rail transit trains are mainly fixed by bolts, adhesives, or flip-up types. Because electrical components and gas and water circuit parts are often installed at the back, maintenance requires removing fasteners or adhesives, which is time-consuming and laborious. Frequent disassembly can easily damage the mirror. Bolted mirrors usually have fasteners exposed on the mirror surface, affecting the mirror's appearance. Flip-up mirrors are sometimes limited by space and have complex installation and higher costs. Utility Model Content

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0020] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be further described in detail below. An embodiment of this application discloses a side-opening mirror structure for a railway vehicle toilet, including a toilet 1. The inner wall of toilet 1 has an opening that connects to a receiving space, where electrical components are housed. For example... Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the toilet 1 of the rail vehicle is an integral frame, and the interior of the integral frame is the interior space of toilet 1. The accommodating space includes the space reserved for the integral molding of toilet 1, and also includes, for example, the space reserved for the integral molding of toilet 1. Figure 1The box-shaped housing shown is connected to the opening of the bathroom 1 and is specifically designed to house electrical components. It also includes a mirror 2 covering the opening. One side of the back of the mirror 2 is hinged to one side of the opening, enabling a side-opening structure. This allows the mirror 2 to act as a door covering the opening, allowing access to the electrical components housed in the space behind it. A locking ring 4 is located on the back of the mirror 2. A connecting rod 3 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing. The connecting rod 3 has a locking block 301, which inserts into the locking ring 4 as the connecting rod 3 rotates. The locking block 301 can be integrally molded with the connecting rod 3 or fixedly connected to the connecting rod 3 using conventional mechanical connections. Rotating the connecting rod 3 causes the locking block 301 to insert or disengage from the locking ring 4, thus locking and unlocking the mirror 2. Specifically, the connecting rod 3 can be rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing using conventional rotating connectors such as bearings or bushings. A push-to-rebound mechanism is also provided within the housing, with its switch pressed against the back of the mirror 2. By squeezing the front of mirror 2, the back of mirror 2 is squeezed to press the rebound device. The rebound action of the rebound device pushes the back of mirror 2 to assist in opening mirror 2.
[0021] Furthermore, a fixing plate 201 is connected to the back of the mirror 2. One side of the fixing plate 201 is hinged to the side of the opening to strengthen the connection between the mirror 2 and the hinge, or to distribute the hinge force and protect the mirror 2 body. Normally, the locking ring 4 on the back of the mirror 2 is glued to the back of the mirror 2. When the fixing plate 201 is provided on the back of the mirror 2, the locking ring 4 can be fixed to the fixing plate 201 on the back of the mirror 2 by conventional mechanical connection methods such as bolts.
[0022] Furthermore, the mirror 2 can be hinged to the opening using any conventional existing technology. In this embodiment, the mirror 2 is connected to the opening via a quick-release hinge 6, one end of which is connected to the back of the mirror 2, and the other end of which is connected to the accommodating space.
[0023] Furthermore, in order to enhance the locking effect of the locking block 301 on the mirror 2, there are at least two locking rings 4, and the number of locking blocks 301 corresponds to the number of locking rings 4.
[0024] Furthermore, a support member 7 is connected within the accommodating space. The support member 7 has a hole through which the connecting rod 3 passes. The support member 7 is located at the end of the connecting rod 3 or between any two locking rings 4. The support member 7 supports the connecting rod 3, preventing the connecting rod 3 from extending too far and disengaging after multiple locking rings 4 are installed.
[0025] Furthermore, to prevent mirror 2 from hitting the inner wall of bathroom 1 when opened at an excessive angle, a rope post is provided on the back of mirror 2. The rope post is connected to a limiting rope 8, and the end of the limiting rope 8 is equipped with a rope hook. A hook 9 that cooperates with the rope hook is provided in the accommodating space. By hanging the rope hook of the limiting rope 8 on the hook 9, the opening degree of mirror 2 is limited by the length of the limiting rope 8 itself. The rope post is adhered to the back of mirror 2. If a fixing plate 201 is provided on the back of mirror 2, the rope post can be connected to the fixing plate 201 on the back of mirror 2 using conventional mechanical fixing methods such as bolts.
[0026] Furthermore, there are various ways to rotate the operating linkage 3. For example, a hole can be specially provided to connect the toilet 1 to the accommodating space, allowing the linkage 3 to be actively rotated by reaching in. In this embodiment, to maintain the sealing of the accommodating space, the linkage 3 extends away from the accommodating space and is provided with an operating part 302, which extends into the toilet 1. The operating part 302 can be a handle that can be operated manually, or it can require the use of tools such as a lock cylinder or interface that matches a four-corner key.
[0027] Furthermore, the structure forming the accommodating space can be either integrally formed with the overall structure of the bathroom 1 or a specially designed box-shaped shell, so that the relevant structures are located within the accommodating space but independent of it. An installation plate 102 is provided within the accommodating space, and the installation plate 102 is fixedly connected to the bathroom 1 and located within the accommodating space. Structures such as quick-install hinges 6 and support components 7, which are located within the accommodating space, are all connected to the installation plate 102, avoiding direct drilling and tapping operations on the inner wall of the accommodating space, protecting the structural integrity of the inner wall of the accommodating space, and simplifying installation.
[0028] Working principle: With mirror 2 covering the opening, rotating the operating lever 3 causes the locking block 301 to insert into the locking ring 4, thus locking mirror 2. To open, rotating the operating lever 3 causes the locking block 301 to disengage from the locking ring 4. Pressing mirror 2 causes it to pop out and open under the action of the press-and-rebound mechanism.
[0029] The device embodiments described above are merely illustrative. The units described as separate components may or may not be physically separate, and the components shown as units may or may not be physical units; they may be located in one place or distributed across multiple network units. Some or all of the modules can be selected to achieve the purpose of this embodiment according to actual needs.
