Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of toilet cleaning technology, specifically a slow-release structure for toilet water cleaner. Background Technology
[0002] Toilet cleaner is an important cleaning product used to clean toilets, remove dirt, urine stains, bacteria, and keep the bathroom fresh.
[0003] Depending on their form, toilet cleaners are divided into liquid cleaners and solid cleaners. Liquid cleaners are mostly used for manual deep cleaning of the toilet, while solid cleaners are generally put into the tank and slowly decompose and release, so that the toilet can automatically perform a simple cleaning when flushed. One indicator of solid cleaners is their release speed. The slower the release speed, the longer a single cleaner can be effective. However, most existing solid toilet cleaners are put directly into the tank to take effect. Because the contact area between the block cleaner and the water is large, its decomposition and release speed is also faster.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a slow-release structure for toilet water cleaner. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, at least one technical problem raised in the background art is solved.

[0008] Preferably, the connecting mechanism includes a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod, and a collar; the first connecting rod is fixed to the side wall of the mounting block; the second connecting rod is rotatably connected to the middle of the first connecting rod via a torsion spring; the collar is fixed to the end of the second connecting rod; the placement cylinder is detachably installed in the middle of the collar; with the above structure, when the water tank is drained, the water with a high concentration of detergent inside the placement cylinder can be conveniently discharged with the water in the water tank to clean the toilet.
[0009] Preferably, the side wall of the mounting block is rotatably connected to a limiting sleeve; a fixing rod is fixedly connected to the middle of the second connecting rod; with the above structure, the collar can be kept at the corresponding angle during the replenishment of the block cleaning agent inside the placement cylinder, so as to facilitate the installation of the placement cylinder after the block cleaning agent has been replenished with one hand, reduce the inconvenience caused by insufficient space for two-hand operation, and improve the ease of use of the device.
[0010] Preferably, a sealing sleeve is fixed to the middle of the adhesive block; the outer diameter of the sealing sleeve is larger than the inner diameter of the placement cylinder; through the above structure, the contact area between the block cleaning agent and the water can be further reduced, thereby improving the slow-release effect of the block cleaning agent.
[0011] Preferably, the mounting block has multiple second through holes in its center; the second through holes are connected to the circular cavity; with the above structure, the operating resistance is reduced when the moving frame drives the pull rod to pull the suction cup.
[0012] Preferably, with the above structure, the outer diameter of the spring is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the mounting cylinder; the spring is made of stainless steel; with the above structure, the impact of spring bending on the installation of the cap can be reduced, and the spring is less prone to corrosion and oxidation, thus improving the service life of the spring.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. The toilet water cleaner slow-release structure of this utility model, through the arrangement of the mounting tube, the cap, the spring, the rubber block, the release hole, and the first through hole, allows the water to come into contact with a small amount of the block cleaner surface after the block cleaner is placed in the toilet tank, thereby reducing the release rate of the block cleaner.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 2As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a slow-release structure for toilet cleaner, including a placement cylinder 1; a cap 12 is detachably installed at one end of the placement cylinder 1 via threads; a spring 13 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the cap 12; a rubber block 14 is fixedly connected to the other end of the spring 13; a release hole 15 is fixedly connected to the middle of the rubber block 14; a first through hole 16 is provided in the middle of the cap 12; during operation, a block of toilet cleaner is placed inside the placement cylinder 1, then the rubber block 14 is inserted into the placement cylinder 1, and then the cap 12 is rotated and installed at the end of the placement cylinder 1 via threads. After installation, the rubber block 14 will press against the surface of the block of cleaner under the elastic force of the spring 13, and the placement cylinder 1 is placed into the toilet tank, allowing the water in the tank to flow into the placement cylinder 1 through the first through hole 16 and fill the interior. Some air is expelled, at which point the water at the release hole 15 comes into contact with the surface of the block cleaner, causing the block cleaner to be released slowly. However, part of the surface of the block cleaner is difficult to contact with the water and decompose due to the compression of the rubber block 14. As the surface of the block cleaner gradually decomposes and releases, causing its volume to gradually shrink, the rubber block 14 will continue to compress the block cleaner under the elastic force of the spring 13, so that the reduced-volume block cleaner still comes into contact with a small amount of water and is released slowly. Through the above structure, after the block cleaner is placed in the toilet tank, water can come into contact with a small amount of the block cleaner surface, thereby reducing the release rate of the block cleaner. Even when the block cleaner shrinks due to gradual release, it can still come into contact with a small amount of water and be released slowly.
[0024] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the mounting cylinder 1 has an external mounting block 2; a pair of circular cavities 21 are formed in the middle of the mounting block 2; a suction cup 22 is fixedly connected to the end of the circular cavity 21; a pull rod 23 is fixedly connected to one side of the suction cup 22 inside the circular cavity 21; the pull rod 23 is slidably connected to the middle of the mounting block 2; multiple connecting rods 24 are rotatably connected to the side wall of the mounting block 2; the other end of the multiple connecting rods 24 is rotatably connected to a moving frame 25; the pull rod 23 is slidably connected to the middle of the moving frame 25; a hook 26 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the mounting block 2; a connecting mechanism is provided between the mounting block 2 and the mounting cylinder 1; during operation, the mounting block 2 is placed into the toilet tank, and then the mounting block 2 is pressed against the side wall of the toilet, so that the suction cup 22 is adsorbed on the inner side wall of the toilet tank. Then the connecting rod 24 is pulled, and the moving frame 25 will rotate as the connecting rod 24 is pulled, and the connecting rod 24 will gradually move away from the mounting block 2. The pull rod 23 moves, and the pull rod 23 pulls the suction cup 22, causing the suction cup 22 to deform and increasing the negative pressure between the suction cup 22 and the inner wall of the water tank, thus enhancing the suction force of the suction cup 22. After the moving frame 25 is moved into place, the pull hook 26 is rotated to hook the end of the moving frame 25, making it difficult for the moving frame 25 to move back, which would cause the suction force of the suction cup 22 to decrease. The placement tube 1 is connected to the cover 12 through the connecting mechanism. When the water tank is drained, the water in the placement tube 1 is discharged. As the water tank gradually fills with water, the connecting mechanism prevents the placement tube 1 from easily floating due to the internal cavity until the placement tube 1 is full of water. Through the above structure, the placement tube 1 that enters the water tank is unlikely to float on the water surface, thereby reducing the possibility that the released cleaning agent will not be able to fully mix into the water in the water tank.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the connecting mechanism includes a first connecting rod 3, a second connecting rod 31, and a collar 32; the first connecting rod 3 is fixed to the side wall of the mounting block 2; the second connecting rod 31 is rotatably connected to the middle of the first connecting rod 3 via a torsion spring; the collar 32 is fixed to the end of the second connecting rod 31; the placement cylinder 1 is detachably installed in the middle of the collar 32; if the placement cylinder 1 is not horizontal and the first through hole 16 is at a high position, the water inside the placement cylinder 1 cannot flow out sufficiently to clean the toilet; if the first through hole 16 is at a low position, when the toilet is filled with water, the water will not be able to fully contact the block cleaner because the gas inside the placement cylinder 1 cannot be discharged. To reduce the occurrence of the above situations, the placement cylinder 1 is inserted into... Inside the collar 32, the collar 32 rotates under the action of the torsion spring and is placed horizontally in the water. Thus, when the water tank is drained, the water containing detergent with a high concentration inside the placement tube 1 can flow out through the first through hole 16 and be discharged with the water in the water tank to clean the toilet. As the water tank gradually fills up, the water can also easily enter the placement tube 1 through the first through hole 16. After the block detergent inside the placement tube 1 is used up, the placement tube 1 can be rotated to change from a horizontal to a vertical position for easy removal. Through the above structure, when the water tank is drained, the water containing detergent with a high concentration inside the placement tube 1 can be easily discharged with the water in the water tank to clean the toilet.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the side wall of the mounting block 2 is rotatably connected to a limiting sleeve 4; a fixing rod 41 is fixedly connected to the middle of the second connecting rod 31; during operation, when it is necessary to replenish the block cleaning agent inside the mounting cylinder 1, the mounting cylinder 1 is rotated to a vertical position, at which time the fixing rod 41 will also be in a vertical position. Then, the limiting sleeve 4 is rotated so that the limiting sleeve 4 fits onto the middle of the fixing rod 41, making it difficult for the fixing rod 41 to continue rotating. After completion, the mounting cylinder 1 is removed from the collar 32 to replenish the block cleaning agent. After completion, the mounting cylinder 1 is inserted into the collar 32, and the limiting sleeve 4 is rotated to release the restriction on the fixing rod 41. Subsequently, the mounting cylinder 1 will rotate to a horizontal position under the action of the torsion spring. If there is no setting of the limiting sleeve 4 and the fixing rod 41, it is necessary to rotate the collar 32 to a suitable angle with one hand, and then insert the mounting cylinder 1 into the collar 32 with the other hand. As the limiting sleeve 4 and the fixing rod 41 are connected, the mounting cylinder 1 will rotate to a horizontal position. The device is designed so that the placement cylinder 1 can be installed with one hand. With the above structure, the collar 32 can be kept at the corresponding angle during the replenishment of the block cleaning agent inside the placement cylinder 1, so that the placement cylinder 1 after the block cleaning agent has been replenished can be installed with one hand, reducing the inconvenience caused by insufficient space when operating with both hands and improving the ease of use of the device.
[0027] like Figure 2As shown, a sealing sleeve 5 is fixed to the middle of the rubber block 14; the outer diameter of the sealing sleeve 5 is larger than the inner diameter of the placement cylinder 1; during operation, after the rubber block 14 is inserted into the placement cylinder 1, the sealing sleeve 5 will deform and stick to the inner wall of the placement cylinder 1, making it difficult for water to seep out from the gap between the placement cylinder 1 and the rubber block 14, so that the water can contact the surface of the block cleaning agent at the release hole 15 as much as possible, thereby reducing the release rate of the block cleaning agent. Through the above structure, the contact area between the block cleaning agent and the water can be further reduced, thereby improving the slow release effect of the block cleaning agent.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the mounting block 2 has multiple second through holes 6 in the middle; the second through holes 6 are connected to the circular cavity 21; during operation, when the moving frame 25 drives the pull rod 23 to slide and pull the suction cup 22, the air or water inside the circular cavity 21 will be quickly discharged through the second through holes 6, thereby reducing the operating resistance and reducing the impact on the suction force of the suction cup 22.
[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the outer diameter of spring 13 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the mounting cylinder 1; spring 13 is made of stainless steel; when the rubber block 14 is placed into the mounting cylinder 1 and the cap 12 needs to be rotated and installed on the end of the mounting cylinder 1, if spring 13 is too thin, it is easy for spring 13 to bend into a Z-shape under force and obstruct the installation of cap 12. However, the larger the outer diameter of spring 13, the less likely spring 13 is to bend, and the easier it is to install cap 12. In addition, the stainless steel spring 13 is not easily corroded by water, making spring 13 difficult to damage. Through the above structure, the occurrence of the bending of spring 13 affecting the installation of cap 12 can be reduced, and spring 13 is less likely to be corroded and oxidized, thus improving the service life of spring 13.
[0030] During operation, the block-shaped toilet cleaner is placed inside the housing tube 1, and then the rubber block 14 is inserted into the housing tube 1. The cap 12 is then screwed onto the end of the housing tube 1. After installation, the rubber block 14, under the elastic force of the spring 13, presses against the surface of the block cleaner. The housing tube 1 is then placed into the toilet tank, allowing water from the tank to flow into the housing tube 1 through the first through-hole 16, expelling most of the internal air. At this time, the water at the release hole 15 contacts the surface of the block cleaner, causing it to slowly release. However, some of the surface of the block cleaner is difficult to contact with the water and decompose due to the pressure of the rubber block 14. As the surface of the block cleaner gradually decomposes and releases, causing its volume to gradually shrink, the rubber block 14, under the elastic force of the spring 13... The block cleaner is continuously squeezed, causing it to shrink in volume while still in contact with a small amount of water and slowly released. Installation block 2 is placed inside the toilet tank, and then pressed against the side wall of the toilet, causing suction cup 22 to adhere to the inner side wall of the toilet tank. Then, the connecting rod 24 is pulled, causing the moving bracket 25 to rotate as the connecting rod 24 is pulled, gradually moving away from installation block 2. This, in turn, moves the pull rod 23. The pull rod 23 stretches the suction cup 22, deforming it and increasing the negative pressure between the suction cup 22 and the inner side wall of the tank, enhancing the suction force of the suction cup 22. After the moving bracket 25 is in place, the hook 26 is rotated to hook the end of the moving bracket 25, making it difficult for the moving bracket 25 to move back. This can lead to a decrease in the suction force of the suction cup 22. The placement tube 1 is connected to the cap 12 via a connecting mechanism. When water is released from the tank, water is discharged from the placement tube 1. As the tank gradually fills with water, the connecting mechanism prevents the placement tube 1 from easily floating due to its internal cavity. Once the placement tube 1 is full of water, if the placement tube 1 is not horizontal and the first through hole 16 is at a high position, the water inside the placement tube 1 cannot flow out sufficiently to clean the toilet. If the first through hole 16 is at a low position, when the toilet is filled with water, the water cannot fully contact the block cleaner because the air inside the placement tube 1 cannot escape. To reduce these issues, the placement tube 1 is inserted into the collar 32, which rotates under the action of a torsion spring. The toilet bowl is placed horizontally in the water, allowing the concentrated detergent solution inside the placement tube 1 to flow out through the first through-hole 16 and be flushed out with the water in the tank when the tank is drained, thus cleaning the toilet. As the tank gradually fills with water, the detergent solution can also easily enter the placement tube 1 through the first through-hole 16. Once the detergent block inside the placement tube 1 is used up, the placement tube 1 can be rotated from a horizontal to a vertical position for easy removal. When refilling the detergent block inside the placement tube 1, the placement tube 1 is rotated to a vertical position, at which point the fixing rod 41 is also in a vertical position. Then, the limiting sleeve 4 is rotated to fit over the middle of the fixing rod 41, making it difficult for the fixing rod 41 to continue rotating. After completion...Remove the placement cylinder 1 from the collar 32 to replenish the block cleaning agent. After completion, insert the placement cylinder 1 back into the collar 32. Rotate the limiting sleeve 4 to release the restriction on the fixing rod 41. The placement cylinder 1 will then rotate to a horizontal position under the action of the torsion spring. If there is no setting of the limiting sleeve 4 and the fixing rod 41, you need to rotate the collar 32 to a suitable angle with one hand, and then insert the placement cylinder 1 into the collar 32 with the other hand. As the limiting sleeve 4 and the fixing rod 41 move, the placement cylinder 1 will rotate to a horizontal position. The device is designed so that the placement cylinder 1 can be installed with one hand. After the rubber block 14 is inserted into the placement cylinder 1, the sealing sleeve 5 deforms and adheres to the inner wall of the placement cylinder 1, making it difficult for water to seep out from the gap between the placement cylinder 1 and the rubber block 14. This maximizes the contact between the water and the block cleaner at the release hole 15, thereby reducing the release speed of the block cleaner. When the moving frame 25 drives the pull rod 23 to slide and pull the suction cup 22, the air or water inside the cavity 21 will be quickly discharged through the second through hole 6. When the rubber block 14 is placed into the placement cylinder 1 and the cap 12 needs to be rotated and installed on the end of the placement cylinder 1, if the spring 13 is too thin, it is easy for the spring 13 to bend into a Z-shape under force, which will hinder the installation of the cap 12. The larger the outer diameter of the spring 13, the less likely the spring 13 is to bend, and the easier it is to install the cap 12. In addition, the stainless steel spring 13 is not easily corroded by water, making the spring 13 less likely to be damaged.
