Detailed Implementation

[0041] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0042] This utility model relates to a flip-top structure, including a base 100, a connector 200, and a cover 300. The flip-top structure can be applied to smart toilet seats or toilets. The base 100 can serve as the outer shell of the mechanism of the smart toilet seat or toilet.

[0043] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the base 100 has a mounting opening 110. In the direction shown, the mounting opening 110 can be located centered in the left-right direction of the base 100, and can be rectangular in shape. The mounting opening 110 passes through the base 100, connecting its upper and lower sides. Two connectors 200 are installed on the lower side of the base 100, and can be distributed on the left and right sides of the mounting opening 110 respectively. The connectors 200 can be shafts, dampers, etc. The cover 300 includes a connecting part 310, which is integrally formed on the rear side of the cover 300. The connecting part 310 passes through the mounting opening 110 from top to bottom. The left side of the connecting part 310 is hinged to one of the connectors 200, and the right side of the connecting part 310 is hinged to the other connector 200. The cover 300 can be flipped up and down relative to the base 100. By cooperating with the connecting part 310 and the connecting piece 200, the double hinge structure of the toilet seat is replaced. The connecting part 310 is integrally formed on the seat body 300, thereby reducing the assembly process and achieving cost reduction and efficiency improvement.

[0044] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a cover 400 is installed on the connecting part 310. The cover 400 can be fixed to the connecting part 310 by means of snap-fit, screw locking, etc. The cover 300 can be flipped downward to a first position and flipped upward to a second position relative to the base 100. In the first position, the cover 300 is mainly used to close the toilet bowl cavity. In the second position, the cover 300 can be in a vertical position or at an obtuse angle to the front side of the base 100. Figure 8 As shown, when the cover 300 is flipped downwards to the first position, the connecting part 310 blocks the mounting opening 110. At this time, the user cannot or has difficulty seeing the object in the lower space of the base 100 through the mounting opening 110 from above. The cover 400 is hidden below the mounting opening 110. It should be noted that when the cover 300 is in the first position, there can be a certain gap between the periphery of the connecting part 310 and the mounting opening 110. This gap ensures that the connecting part 310 does not interfere with each other when it is flipped upwards relative to the mounting opening 110. Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, the cover 300 flips upward to the second position, and the cover 400, in conjunction with the connecting part 310, blocks the mounting opening 110. In the illustrated direction, the cover 400 faces upward, making it difficult or impossible for the user to see objects in the lower space of the base 100 through the mounting opening 110. It should be noted that when the cover 300 is in the second position, there can be a certain gap between the periphery of the connecting part 310 and the cover 400 and the mounting opening 110. This gap ensures that the connecting part 310 and the cover 400 do not interfere with each other when flipped downward relative to the mounting opening 110. This effectively prevents other objects from falling into the base 100 through the mounting opening 110 during use.

[0045] Specifically, the connecting portion 310 has a first sidewall 311 and a second sidewall 312. For example... Figure 3 As shown, when the cover 300 is in the first position, the first sidewall 311 of the connecting portion 310 faces downwards, and the second sidewall 312 faces upwards. Figure 3 As shown, when the cover 300 is in the second position, the first sidewall 311 of the connecting portion 310 faces forward, and the second sidewall 312 faces rearward. The cover 400 is mounted on the first sidewall 311. Figure 2 As shown, the mounting port 110 has a first side 111 and a second side 112 positioned opposite each other. The first side 111 and the second side 112 are arranged front to back in the figure. The first sidewall 311 faces the first side 111, and the second sidewall 312 faces the second side 112. Figure 10As shown, when the cover 300 is in the second position, there is a certain gap between the first side 111 and the first sidewall 311, defined as the first interval 500. At this time, the lower part of the second sidewall 312 sinks below the mounting opening 110, and the upper part of the second sidewall 312 is positioned above the mounting opening 110, covering the partial opening of the mounting opening 110 near the second side 112. The cover 400 faces upwards, blocking the first interval 500. Figure 8 As shown, when the cover 300 is in the first position, the second sidewall 312 faces upward and the first sidewall 311 faces downward. The second sidewall 312 blocks the mounting opening 110 from top to bottom.

[0046] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 11 As shown, the connecting part 310 includes a first part 320 and a second part 330. Both the first part 320 and the second part 330 can be plate-shaped, block-shaped, or have other similar structures. Figure 3 As shown, the first part 320 extends forward from the lower side of the cover 300, and the second part 330 extends downward from the side of the first part 320 away from the cover 300 (the front side of the first part 320 in the figure). During installation, the second part 330 passes downward through the mounting opening 110, and its left and right sides are respectively paired and hinged with the connectors 200. Figure 4 As shown, the cover 400 is configured as a plate with its rear end extending in the same direction as the first part 320, and then the front part of the cover 400 extends downward from the rear end for a certain distance before extending forward.

[0047] In one example, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the first sidewall 311 is provided with a plurality of protruding ribs 340, which are perpendicular to the first sidewall 311. The protruding ribs 340 extend along the extension direction of the first part 320 and the second part 330. There is a certain distance between adjacent protruding ribs 340, and a plurality of sliders 350 are provided on the protruding ribs 340. The cover 400 is provided with a plurality of sliding grooves 410. The sliding grooves 410 and the sliders 350 are paired and slidably engaged. Through the cooperation of the sliding grooves 410 and the sliders 350, the cover 400 is quickly positioned onto the connecting part 310. Furthermore, a retaining plate 360 ​​extends from the first sidewall 311, and a retaining slot 361 is provided on the retaining plate 360. The cover 400 is provided with a buckle 440. The buckle 440 is engaged in the retaining slot 361, thereby fixing the cover 400 onto the connecting part 310.

[0048] The first part 320 has a first surface 321 and a second surface 322 facing opposite directions, and the second part 330 has a third surface 331 and a fourth surface 332 facing opposite directions. For example... Figure 3 and Figure 11As shown, in the illustrated direction, the upper side of the first part 320 is the first surface 321, and the lower side is the second surface 322. The front side of the second part 330 is the third surface 331, and the rear side is the fourth surface 332. The first surface 321 and the third surface 331 are connected to form the first sidewall 311, which is inverted L-shaped. The second surface 322 and the fourth surface 332 are connected to form the second sidewall 312, which is also inverted L-shaped. The cover 400 includes a first stop 420 and a second stop 430, with the first stop 420 covering the first surface 321. The second stop 430 can be configured to be perpendicular to or nearly perpendicular to the third surface 331. When the cover 300 is in the second position, there is a certain gap between the third surface 331 and the first side 111, forming the aforementioned first interval 500. The second stop 430 blocks the first interval 500. That is, the connecting part 310 and the first interval 500 are both covered by the cover 400.
