Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toilet technology, and in particular to a support structure and a toilet. Background Technology

[0002] The molding process for different parts of the toilet differs, including single-sided and double-sided slip molding. Currently, the back of the toilet casing generally uses a self-supporting structure, which is usually made with single-sided slip molding. Due to the different density of the slip at the junction with the blank, the shrinkage ratio is inconsistent during firing, resulting in an uneven surface on the porcelain body after firing. This increases production costs, affects the product's appearance, and reduces its competitiveness. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model provides a support structure and a toilet, which improves the situation where poor ceramic blanks occur at the junction of single-sided and double-sided slurry structures.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A support structure is provided in the vertical direction at the rear of the toilet cover, including a first support part and a second support part connected sequentially from top to bottom. The first support part is made by a single-sided paste process, and the second support part is made by a double-sided paste process. The proportion of the first support part to the support structure is greater than the proportion of the second support part to the support structure.

[0006] Furthermore, the projected dimension H1 of the first support in the vertical direction is larger than the projected dimension H2 of the second support in the vertical direction.

[0007] Furthermore, the ratio of the projected size H1 to the projected size H2 is not less than 1.35:1.

[0008] Furthermore, the horizontal projection dimension L1 of the end of the first support portion away from the second support portion is greater than the horizontal projection dimension L2 of the end of the second support portion away from the first support portion.

[0009] Furthermore, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first support gradually increases along the direction away from the second support, while the cross-sectional area of ​​the second support remains constant along the vertical direction.

[0010] Furthermore, the first support portion includes a first support body and a transition portion, with the end of the transition portion away from the first support body connected to the second support portion.

[0011] Furthermore, the second support portion is provided with a chamfer, the width of which is 2mm.

[0012] A toilet includes an outer casing and a water tank. The outer casing has a support structure as described above at its rear. The water tank is located at the upper end of the outer casing. The end of the first support part away from the second support part abuts against the bottom of the water tank, and the end of the second support part away from the first support part abuts against the bottom plate of the toilet.

[0013] Furthermore, the dimension of the first support portion abutting at one end of the water tank is 2 / 3 of the dimension of the bottom of the water tank.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. This utility model proposes a support structure comprising a first support part made by a single-sided slurry process and a second support part made by a double-sided slurry process. The proportion of the first support part is greater than that of the second support part, reducing the proportion of single-sided slurry and improving the uneven shrinkage of the ceramic body on the sides during firing, thereby enhancing product competitiveness. Compared with the single-sided slurry support structure used in the prior art, its projected area on the vertical plane is reduced by more than 30%, which reduces the use of slurry raw materials, reduces the weight of the ceramic, and saves production and transportation costs.

[0016] 2. The present invention proposes a support structure, wherein the first support part includes a first support body and a transition part, the transition part being connected to the second support part, which is used to reduce and minimize the junction between the single-sided slurry structure and the double-sided slurry structure, thereby reducing the poor ceramic blank formed by the support.

[0017] 3. The toilet proposed in this utility model has a first support part that abuts against one end of the water tank, which accounts for 2 / 3 of the bottom dimension of the water tank. This is an improvement over the prior art where the support part accounts for 1 / 3 of the bottom dimension of the water tank. This makes the top and bottom of the support structure collinear within the support structure when subjected to force, resulting in force balance and improved support for the water tank. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0020] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a support structure according to the present invention;

[0021] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a toilet according to the present invention;

[0022] In the figure, 10 is the support structure; 101 is the first support part; 1011 is the first support body; 1012 is the transition part; 102 is the second support part; 1021 is the chamfer; 20 is the toilet; 201 is the outer sleeve; and 202 is the water tank. Detailed Implementation

[0023] The following is combined Figures 1-3 This utility model will be described in detail.

[0024] Figure 1 The prior art support structure 10' is shown, which is entirely made using a single-sided slurry process. Therefore, at the junction of this support structure 10' and the double-sided slurry structures in other parts of the toilet, unevenness in appearance can easily occur during the firing process due to differences in shrinkage rates, affecting the product's appearance and reducing its competitiveness.

[0025] This embodiment proposes a support structure 10, located at the rear of the outer casing 201 of the toilet 20. It includes a first support portion 101 and a second support portion 102 connected sequentially from top to bottom. The first support portion 101 is made using a single-sided slurry process, while the second support portion 102 is made using a double-sided slurry process. The proportion of the first support portion 101 is greater than that of the second support portion 102. Therefore, the proposed support structure 10 reduces the proportion of single-sided slurry, improves support performance, and mitigates the uneven shrinkage of the ceramic body's sides during firing, thereby enhancing product competitiveness. Experiments show that the projected area of ​​the existing single-sided slurry support structure 10 in the vertical plane is 22488.1 mm². 2 The projected area of ​​the support structure 10 in the vertical plane used in this embodiment is 15222.1 mm². 2 As can be seen from the comparison, the projected area of ​​the support structure 10 proposed in this embodiment on the vertical plane is reduced by more than 30%, thereby reducing the use of slurry raw materials, reducing the weight of ceramics, and saving production and transportation costs.

[0026] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the projected size H1 of the first support part 101 in the vertical direction is greater than the projected size H2 of the second support part 102 in the vertical direction. Furthermore, the ratio of the projected size H1 to the projected size H2 is not less than 1.35:1.

[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the horizontal projection dimension L1 of the end of the first support portion 101 away from the second support portion 102 is greater than the horizontal projection dimension L2 of the end of the second support portion 102 away from the first support portion 101.

[0028] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first support portion 101 gradually increases along the direction away from the second support portion 102, while the cross-sectional area of ​​the second support portion 102 remains constant along the vertical direction. Further, the first support portion 101 includes a first support body 1011 and a transition portion 1012, with one end of the transition portion 1012 away from the first support body 1011 connected to the second support portion 102. The vertical projection dimension H3 of the support structure 10 on the vertical transition portion 1012 is 30mm, and a chamfer 1021 is provided on the inner side of the second support portion 102, with a width of 2mm for the chamfer 1021 region.

[0029] This implementation also proposes a toilet 20, such as Figure 3 As shown, the toilet includes an outer sleeve 201, and a support structure 10 as described above is provided at the rear of the outer sleeve 201. The end of the first support part 101 away from the second support part 102 abuts against the bottom of the water tank 202, and the end of the second support part 102 away from the first support part 101 abuts against the bottom plate of the toilet 20. Furthermore, the dimension of the end of the first support part 101 that abuts against the water tank is 2 / 3 of the dimension of the bottom of the water tank, that is, dimension L2 is 2 / 3 of the dimension of the bottom of the water tank, which is an improvement over the 1 / 3 dimension of the bottom of the water tank in the prior art. This makes the top and bottom of the support structure 10 collinear inside the support structure 10 when subjected to force, resulting in force balance and improving the support effect on the water tank.

[0030] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
