The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0042] This embodiment provides a height-adjustable structure, a toilet seat, and a toilet. The toilet includes a toilet body, a lid, and the toilet seat provided in this embodiment. Both the lid and the toilet seat are rotatably connected to the toilet body, with the lid positioned above the toilet seat to rotatably cover it.

[0043] For ease of description, the side of the toilet facing the human body when in use is defined as the front side, and the side away from the human body is defined as the back side.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the toilet seat includes a seat body 100, foot pads 200, and a height adjustment structure provided in this embodiment. Multiple foot pads 200 are spaced apart below the seat body 100, and a height adjustment structure is provided between at least one foot pad 200 and the seat body 100. When the seat body 100 is rotated and placed on the toilet bowl, the foot pads 200 are supported between the upper surface of the toilet bowl and the seat body 100. By adjusting the installation height of the foot pads 200 through this height adjustment structure, the gap between the seat body 100 and the upper surface of the toilet bowl can be eliminated, preventing the toilet from shaking during use and contributing to improved aesthetics and user experience.

[0045] Specifically, multiple foot pads 200 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the long axis of the seat body 100, and a height adjustment structure is connected between the seat body 100 and one foot pad 200 located at the front end. In this embodiment, multiple sets of foot pads 200 are provided, and the multiple sets of foot pads 200 are spaced apart along the long axis of the seat body 100, with two foot pads 200 in each set symmetrically arranged on both sides of the long axis of the seat body 100. In this embodiment, the height adjustment structure is provided on one of the two foot pads 200 located at the front end of the seat body 100. Of course, it is understood that the height adjustment structure can also be installed on other foot pads 200, and this is not limited here.

[0046] Preferably, a soft rubber layer 203 is provided on the side of the foot pad 200 opposite to the seat ring body 100. The soft rubber layer 203 has a cushioning effect, which can reduce the impact force when the seat ring body 100 rotates to abut against the upper surface of the toilet body, thereby protecting the upper surface of the toilet body.

[0047] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the toilet seat body 100 includes an upper seat 101 and a lower seat 102, which are fastened together. A mounting groove 103 is recessed on the side of the lower seat 102 that abuts against the upper surface of the toilet seat body. A foot pad 200 is height-adjustable and height-adjustable within this mounting groove 103. As the foot pad 200 extends out of the mounting groove 103, its mounting height gradually increases; conversely, as the foot pad 200 retracts into the mounting groove 103, its mounting height gradually decreases.

[0048] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the height adjustment structure includes a lifting adjustment component 1 and a resetting component 2. One end of the lifting adjustment component 1 is connected to the lower seat ring 102, and the other end is connected to the foot pad 200. The lifting adjustment component 1 can drive the foot pad 200 to move towards the bottom of the mounting groove 103, so that the foot pad 200 is retracted into the mounting groove 103. The resetting component 2 is clamped between the foot pad 200 and the bottom of the mounting groove 103. The resetting component 2 can drive the foot pad 200 to reset, so that the foot pad 200 extends out of the mounting groove 103.

[0049] Specifically, the lifting adjustment component 1 includes a connected abutment portion 11 and a connecting rod portion 12. The abutment portion 11 forms a contact surface 111 on the side near the connecting rod portion 12. The connecting rod portion 12 movably passes through a connecting hole 201 on the foot pad 200. The contact surface 111 abuts against the foot pad 200. The end of the connecting rod portion 12 away from the abutment portion 11 is vertically connected to the lower seat ring 102. By raising the connecting rod portion 12 relative to the seat ring body 100, the abutment portion 11 and the foot pad 200 can be moved closer to the bottom of the mounting groove 103, thereby reducing the mounting height of the foot pad 200 on the seat ring body 100 and reducing the gap between the seat ring body 100 and the upper surface of the toilet body. When it is necessary to raise the seat ring body 100, the connecting rod 12 is first lowered relative to the seat ring body 100, and the reset member 2 drives the foot pad 200 to reset, thereby moving the foot pad 200 away from the bottom of the mounting groove 103, raising the mounting height of the foot pad 200 on the seat ring body 100, and thus raising the seat ring body 100.

[0050] More specifically, the height adjustment structure also includes a mounting base 3. The mounting base 3 is fixedly disposed on the side of the seat ring body 100 facing the foot pad 200, and the connecting rod portion 12 is movably connected to the mounting base 3 along the axial direction of the mounting base 3. The mounting base 3 is specifically disposed at the bottom of the mounting groove 103, and is fixed relative to the mounting groove 103 by means of a limiting block and a limiting groove engaging, or the mounting base 3 is directly fixed to the bottom of the mounting groove 103 (e.g., the mounting base 3 is integrally formed with the lower seat ring 102).

[0051] In this embodiment, the mounting base 3 has a threaded hole 31, the axis of which is parallel to the axis of the mounting base 3. The outer wall of the connecting rod 12 has an external thread 121, which is screwed into the threaded hole 31. By screwing the connecting rod 12, the screwing depth between the external thread 121 and the threaded hole 31 can be changed, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering adjustment of the connecting rod 12 relative to the mounting base 3, and driving the abutment part 11 and the foot pad 200 to move.

[0052] Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting base 3 has a mounting hole, the axis of which is parallel to the axis of the mounting base 3. The inner wall of the mounting hole is provided with multiple slots spaced apart along the axis, and the connecting rod 12 is provided with a protrusion. By engaging the protrusion with slots of different depths, the connecting rod 12 can also be moved up and down along the axis of the mounting base 3.

[0053] Continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The height adjustment structure also includes a fastening nut 41. A transition shaft section 13 is provided between the abutment portion 11 and the connecting rod portion 12. The fastening nut 41 is screwed onto the external thread 121 and abuts against the end face of the transition shaft section 13 near the connecting rod portion 12. The foot pad 200 is located between the fastening nut 41 and the abutment surface 111. That is, when the connecting rod portion 12 descends relative to the lower seat ring 102, the fastening nut 41 can also push the foot pad 200 downward, causing the foot pad 200 to move downward under the action of the connecting rod portion 12.

[0054] Furthermore, the height adjustment structure also includes a shim 42. The shim 42 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting rod portion 12 and sandwiched between the fastening nut 41 and the end face of the transition shaft section 13. The shim 42 helps to improve the connection reliability between the fastening nut 41 and the connecting rod portion 12.

[0055] Preferably, in this embodiment, the diameter of the transition shaft section 13 is smaller than the diameter of the connecting hole 201 of the foot pad 200, and the length of the transition shaft section 13 is greater than the depth of the connecting hole 201 of the foot pad 200. With this configuration, when the lifting adjustment member 1 rotates, the foot pad 200 will not rotate synchronously with the lifting adjustment member 1, and the peripheral side of the foot pad 200 will not generate rotational friction with the inner wall of the mounting groove 103, which helps to improve the service life of the foot pad 200.

[0056] Since the foot pad 200 can only rise or fall under the push of the abutment part 11 and the pad 42, the cross-sectional shape of the foot pad 200 can be circular or rectangular, and there is no limitation here.

[0057] Optionally, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the height adjustment structure also includes a limiting post, which is disposed on the foot pad 200 and / or the seat ring body 100. A reset member 2 is sleeved outside the limiting post, with one end of the reset member 2 abutting against the foot pad 200 and the other end abutting against the seat ring body 100. In this embodiment, the reset member 2 is a compression spring. A first limiting post 202 is disposed on the side of the foot pad 200 facing the lower seat ring 102, and the height direction of the first limiting post 202 is parallel to the axial direction of the mounting groove 103. When the foot pad 200 needs to be adjusted upwards, the lifting adjustment member 1 is turned, causing the portion of the connecting rod 12 screwed into the mounting seat 3 to lengthen and compress the reset member 2. The lifting adjustment member 1 then causes the foot pad 200 to rise. When the foot pad 200 needs to be adjusted downwards, the lifting adjustment member 1 is turned in the opposite direction, and the foot pad 200 moves downwards under the elastic force of the reset member 2 restoring its elastic deformation.

[0058] In another embodiment, a second limiting post may be provided on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 103, and the reset member 2 is sleeved on the second limiting post. One end of the reset member 2 abuts against the foot pad 200, and the other end of the reset member 2 abuts against the seat ring body 100.

[0059] In another embodiment, a third limiting post and a fourth limiting post may be provided on the foot pad 200 and the lower seat ring 102, respectively. The third limiting post and the fourth limiting post are directly opposite each other, with one end of the reset member 2 sleeved on the third limiting post and the other end of the reset member 2 sleeved on the fourth limiting post.

[0060] Alternatively, such as Figure 3 As shown, the side wall of the mounting groove 103 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 104, the length direction of which is parallel to the axial direction of the mounting groove 103. The outer wall of the foot pad 200 is provided with a snap-fit ​​204, which can extend into the snap-fit ​​groove 104 and slide along its length. This design improves the reliability of the connection between the foot pad 200 and the lower seat ring 102 without affecting the lifting and lowering of the foot pad 200.

[0061] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
