Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toilet accessories technology, and in particular to a multi-functional displacement device. Background Technology
[0002] Toilet relocation kits are used during toilet installation to adjust the distance between the toilet's S-bend outlet and the floor drain. Alternatively, they can be part of the rear section of the toilet's S-bend. Existing toilet relocation kits, besides their relocation and main flushing / draining functions, lack other capabilities, resulting in a limited functionality. Utility Model Content
[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model proposes a shifter structure with more functions.
[0004] A multifunctional displacement device includes a sewage pipe with a main sewage channel serving as the primary sewage discharge path. One end of the main channel is a receiving end with an upward-extending, upward-opening receiving interface for connecting to the S-bend outlet of a toilet. The other end is a discharge end with a downward-extending, downward-opening discharge port for connecting to the discharge port at the toilet's installation location. Additionally, the sewage pipe has a branch channel between the receiving end and the discharge end. This branch channel includes a connecting horizontal channel and a vertical channel. The horizontal channel is located at the top of the main sewage channel to prevent sewage from overflowing from the branch channel. The end of the horizontal channel away from the vertical channel connects to the main sewage channel, and the end of the vertical channel away from the main sewage channel has an upward-opening additional functional connection port.
[0005] During installation, the additional function connection port can be used to connect the drain pipe of a drainage device, such as the overflow pipe of a water tank, or to connect the exhaust pipe of an exhaust device, such as the exhaust pipe of a deodorizing device. Of course, it can also connect both the drain pipe and the exhaust pipe at the same time.
[0006] This invention adds branch paths and additional functional connection ports to the displacement device, allowing it to not only be used for toilet waste disposal but also to provide drainage or ventilation channels for other drainage or ventilation devices, thus diversifying the device's functions.
[0007] Preferably, the branch road and the sewage pipe are integrally formed, and one end of the horizontal channel connecting to the vertical channel is provided with a mold core exit port. The mold core exit port is provided with a plug, which provides an exit point for the molding of the branch road, thereby reducing the complexity of the mold and the difficulty of molding. Alternatively, the end of the horizontal channel is provided with a plug-in interface, and the bottom end of the vertical channel is provided with a horizontal plug-in connector. The vertical channel is plugged into the plug-in interface through the plug-in connector. Alternatively, the sewage pipe is provided with a side-facing plug-in interface at the top of the main sewage channel, and the branch road is an L-shaped plug-in pipe with a plug-in connector. The branch road is plugged into the plug-in interface through the plug-in connector.
[0008] Preferably, the plug and the mold core exit are assembled together by interference fit, thread, welding, bonding or snap fastening.
[0009] Preferably, since the diameter of the branch is small, in order to avoid the additional functional connection port having a small opening and low flow rate, the additional functional connection port is designed as a long strip to form a larger opening, and can also connect to multiple drainage or exhaust channels at the same time.
[0010] Preferably, the additional functional connection port is internally divided into at least two channels, which can be connected to different drainage components or venting components.
[0011] Preferably, a one-way valve is installed in one of the channels to prevent sewage or odor from overflowing in the reverse direction.
[0012] Preferably, in order to improve the smoothness of drainage and reduce the accumulation of dirt during use, the transverse channel has a slope and an angle with the horizontal plane, the angle being 1° to 3°.
[0013] Preferably, to reduce the difficulty of one-piece molding, the sewage pipe is split into a receiving section and a sewage discharge section, wherein the water outlet end of the receiving section and the water inlet end of the sewage discharge section are connected and sealed with adhesive.
[0014] Preferably, to provide a larger and more flexible displacement size, the sewage pipe further includes at least one extension pipe, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the receiving section and the sewage discharge section. In addition, to improve the stability and firmness of the installation, a positioning concave-convex limiting structure is provided between the receiving section and the sewage discharge section, and a positioning concave-convex limiting structure is provided between the extension pipe and both the receiving section and the sewage discharge section.
[0015] Preferably, to prevent the displacement device from shaking during use, a support base is provided around the periphery of the receiving end. The support base has mounting holes around its periphery, allowing self-tapping screws to be used to secure the displacement device to the ceramic connector. A flange is provided around the periphery of the drain end, both providing stable support for the displacement device.
[0016] As can be seen from the above description of this utility model, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] This utility model adds branch paths and additional functional connection ports to the offset device, allowing it to not only be used for toilet waste disposal but also to provide drainage or ventilation channels for other drainage or ventilation devices, thus diversifying the functions of the offset device.
[0018] The displacement device provided by this utility model has an upward-facing additional function connection port, which facilitates docking during assembly and provides convenience for toilet installation.
[0019] The branch circuit adopts a combination of mold core exit and plug structure, or is assembled with plug connector and plug interface, which can reduce the complexity of the shifter and the difficulty of molding;
[0020] The additional functional connection port is designed in the shape of a long strip to form a large opening, which can avoid the small flow of the additional functional connection port and can also connect to multiple drainage or exhaust channels at the same time.
[0021] A one-way valve is installed in the channel to prevent sewage or odor from overflowing in the reverse direction.
[0022] The sewage pipes can be disassembled to reduce the difficulty of integral molding. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0032] To make the technical problem to be solved, the technical solution, and the beneficial effects of this utility model clearer and more understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.
[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 6 A multi-functional toilet relocation device includes a sewage pipe 1, which has a main sewage channel 11 serving as the main sewage discharge path for the relocation device. One end of the pipe is a receiving end 12 with an upward-extending, upward-opening receiving interface 13 for connecting to the S-bend outlet of a toilet. The other end is a sewage discharge end with a downward-extending, downward-opening sewage discharge port for connecting to the sewage discharge port at the toilet installation location. Preferably, to prevent the relocation device from shaking during use, a support base 14 is provided around the receiving end 12. The support base 14 has mounting holes 141 around its periphery, allowing self-tapping screws to be used to lock the relocation device onto the ceramic body, thus securing it. This allows the relocation device to be pre-fixed to the bottom of the toilet ceramic body for simultaneous shipping. Furthermore, compared to traditional relocation devices without fixed installation, this results in a more stable toilet installation and a more reliable drainage system. A flange 15 is provided around the sewage discharge end, further providing stable support for the relocation device.
[0034] In addition, the sewage pipe 1 is provided with a branch 16 between the receiving end 12 and the sewage discharge end. This branch can be used to discharge overflow water from the toilet tank, or it can be connected to other water-using equipment or components that require drainage, or it can be connected to an exhaust device. Specifically, the branch 16 includes a connecting horizontal channel 161 and a vertical channel 162. The horizontal channel 161 is located at the top of the main sewage discharge channel 11, which can prevent sewage in the main sewage discharge channel 11 from overflowing from the branch 16. The end of the horizontal channel 161 away from the vertical channel 162 is connected to the main sewage discharge channel 11, and the end of the vertical channel 162 away from the main sewage discharge channel 11 has an upward-facing additional functional connection port 1621.
[0035] To reduce molding difficulty, in this embodiment, the branch 16 and the sewage pipe 1 are integrally formed, and the end of the horizontal channel 161 that connects to the vertical channel 162 is provided with a mold core exit port 1611. The mold core exit port 1611 is provided with a plug 163, which provides a mold core exit port 1611 for the molding of the branch 16, thereby reducing the complexity of the mold and the difficulty of product molding. Preferably, the plug 163 and the mold core exit port 1611 are assembled together by interference fit, thread, welding, bonding or snap fastening.
[0036] In other embodiments, a splicing structure may also be adopted. For example, the end of the horizontal channel 161 is provided with a plug-in interface, and the bottom of the vertical channel 162 is provided with a horizontal plug-in connector. The vertical channel 162 is plugged into the plug-in interface through the plug-in connector. Alternatively, the sewage pipe 1 is provided with a side-facing plug-in interface at the top of the main sewage channel 11, and the branch 16 is an L-shaped plug-in pipe with a plug-in connector. The branch 16 is plugged into the plug-in interface through the plug-in connector.
[0037] Because the branch 16 has a small diameter, to avoid the additional functional connection port 161 having a small opening and low flow rate, in one embodiment, the additional functional connection port 161 is designed as a long strip, forming a larger opening, and can also connect to multiple drainage or ventilation channels simultaneously. Preferably, the additional functional connection port 161 is perpendicular to the main sewage channel 11.
[0038] Based on the above embodiments, the additional functional connection port 161 is internally divided into at least two channels, which can be connected to different drainage components or venting components. Preferably, a one-way valve 164 is installed in one of the channels to prevent sewage or odor from overflowing backwards.
[0039] Regarding the specific structure of the branch 16, in one embodiment, in order to improve the smoothness of drainage and reduce the accumulation of dirt during use, the transverse channel 161 has an angle A with the horizontal plane, the angle A being 1°~3°, preferably 2°.
[0040] In one embodiment of the specific structure of the multifunctional shifter, to reduce the difficulty of integral molding, the sewage pipe 1 is split into a receiving section 17 and a sewage discharge section 18. The water outlet end of the receiving section 17 and the water inlet end of the sewage discharge section 18 are connected and sealed with adhesive.
[0041] Based on the above embodiments, in order to provide a larger and more flexible displacement size, the sewage pipe 1 also includes at least one extension pipe 19, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the receiving section 17 and the sewage discharge section 18. In addition, in order to improve the stability and firmness of the installation, a positioning concave-convex limiting structure is provided between the receiving section 17 and the sewage discharge section 18, and a positioning concave-convex limiting structure is provided between the extension pipe 19 and both the receiving section 17 and the sewage discharge section 18.
[0042] During installation, the additional functional connection port 1621 can be used to connect the drain pipe of a drainage device, such as the overflow pipe of a water tank, or to connect the exhaust pipe of an exhaust device, such as the exhaust pipe of a deodorizing device. Of course, it can also connect both the drain pipe and the exhaust pipe at the same time.
[0043] This utility model adds a branch 16 and an additional functional connection port 1621 to the offset device, so that in addition to being used for toilet sewage discharge, the offset device can also provide drainage or ventilation channels for other drainage or ventilation devices, thus diversifying the functions of the offset device.
