Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of daily necessities technology, specifically to a toilet plunger. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the bottom of flush toilets uses an S-shaped water trap structure. This water trap structure obstructs the flow of solids in the toilet water, often causing toilet blockage. Authorized announcement number CN203129280U, entitled "An Electric Drain Cleaner," discloses a method where an electric drill drives a metal spring to agitate and remove blockages from the toilet. In use, the drill drives one end of a long metal spring to rotate, while the other free end of the long metal spring enters the toilet pipe. While rotating, it drills into the toilet pipe using rotational force. Initially, the long metal spring is mostly outside the toilet, which is quite dangerous and difficult to control, and it easily causes splashing of contents from inside the toilet. The metal spring then wraps around and traps the blockage in the toilet pipe, making it troublesome, dirty, and difficult to remove from inside the toilet. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a toilet plunger to solve the problem of poor unblocking of internal blockages in toilet pipes.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A toilet plunger includes a hollow outer cylinder and a hollow rotating shaft coaxially disposed within the inner cavity of the outer cylinder. A first axial slit is formed on the side wall of the outer cylinder. A sliding sleeve, axially slidable, is fitted onto the outer wall of the hollow rotating shaft. A roller bearing is fixedly fitted onto the outer wall of the sliding sleeve. One end of a translation handle is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the roller bearing. The other end of the translation handle extends from the first slit. A second axial slit is formed on the side wall of the hollow rotating shaft. A connecting bolt is located within the inner cavity of the hollow rotating shaft. A nut core is connected to the lower end of the connecting bolt. One end of the connecting bolt is connected to an insert. The other end of the insert protrudes from the hollow shaft through the second slit. The protruding end of the insert is fixedly connected to the sliding sleeve. The lower end of the nut core is connected to the upper end of the steel wire. The lower end of the steel wire extends from the lower end of the hollow shaft and the outer cylinder. When the translation handle moves up and down along the first slit, it can drive the steel wire in the hollow shaft to move synchronously. When the hollow shaft is rotated under force, the insert rotates synchronously under the action of the second slit on the hollow shaft. The nut core connected to one end of the insert drives the steel wire to stir. The sliding sleeve connected to the other end of the insert rotates in the roller bearing, while the translation handle connected to the outer wall of the roller bearing is restricted by the first slit and does not rotate.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment, the lower end of the outer cylinder is provided with an adsorption plate with its opening facing downwards, and the steel wire extends out from the adsorption plate.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, a ring-shaped tube is arranged around the top outer circumference of the adsorption plate, a water pipe is connected to the top side of the ring-shaped tube, and multiple water outlet holes communicating with the inner cavity of the adsorption plate are evenly distributed around the bottom of the ring-shaped tube.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the upper end of the hollow shaft is mounted on the inner wall of the outer cylinder via an upper bearing, and the lower end of the hollow shaft is mounted on the inner wall of the outer cylinder via a lower bearing. The top of the upper end of the hollow shaft is provided with a connector that can be connected to the shaft of an electric drill tool.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the first slit extends axially from the middle of the outer cylinder to both ends near the outer cylinder, and the second slit extends axially from the middle of the hollow shaft to both ends near the hollow shaft.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: using steel wire as the agitator, the steel wire is relatively smooth and thin, making it easy to penetrate into the pipe. When withdrawn, it is less likely to carry away debris. When the steel wire agitates in the toilet pipe, it cleans the inner wall of the pipe when it hits it. The steel wire is built into a hollow rotating shaft, which is built into an outer cylinder. The steel wire is extended by moving the translation handle, and the electric drill makes the steel wire rotate and agitate. This allows the steel wire to extend and agitate at the same time, making the operation more stable and effective, and easier to penetrate. After the steel wire breaks up the blockage, it can be flushed away directly without needing to be removed, making it convenient to handle. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0020] This utility model describes a toilet plunger. See [link to utility model]. Figures 1-6 As shown, the device includes an inner hollow outer cylinder 1 and a hollow rotating shaft 4 coaxially disposed within the inner cavity of the outer cylinder 1. A first narrow slit 11 is formed along the axial direction on the side wall of the outer cylinder 1. A sliding sleeve 3 is fitted onto the outer side wall of the hollow rotating shaft 4, which can slide along the axial direction. A roller bearing 2 is fixedly fitted onto the outer side wall of the sliding sleeve 3. One end of a translation handle 8 is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the roller bearing 2. The other end of the translation handle 8 extends out from the first narrow slit 11. A second narrow slit 12 is formed along the axial direction on the side wall of the hollow rotating shaft 4. A connecting bolt 9 is located within the inner cavity of the hollow rotating shaft 4. A nut core 10 is connected to the lower end of the connecting bolt 9. One end of an insert 7 is connected to the connecting bolt 9. The other end of the insert 7 passes through the first narrow slit 11. Two narrow slits 12 extend from the hollow shaft 4. One end of the insert 7 is fixedly connected to the sliding sleeve 3. The lower end of the nut core 10 is connected to the upper end of the steel wire 17. The lower end of the steel wire 17 extends from the lower ends of the hollow shaft 4 and the outer cylinder 1. When the translation handle 8 moves up and down along the first narrow slit 11, it can drive the steel wire 17 in the hollow shaft 4 to move synchronously. When the hollow shaft 4 is rotated under force, the insert 7 rotates synchronously under the action of the second narrow slit 12 on the hollow shaft 4. The nut core 10 connected to one end of the insert 7 drives the steel wire 17 to stir. The sliding sleeve 3 connected to the other end of the insert 7 rotates in the roller bearing 2, while the translation handle 8 connected to the outer wall of the roller bearing 2 is restricted by the first narrow slit 11 and does not rotate.

[0021] Specifically, steel wire 17 is used as the agitator. The single-wire steel wire 17 has a relatively smooth surface and is not easily entangled. To prevent the steel wire 17 from jumping around in the air when rotating with the electric drill tool 19, the steel wire 17 is built into the inner cavity of the hollow rotating shaft 4. The upper end of the steel wire 17 is connected to the nut core 10, which is connected to the connecting bolt 9. The upper end of the connecting bolt 9 has a slit in the middle of the nut end through which the shaft passes. One end of the insert 7 passes through the slit in the nut end of the connecting bolt 9, and the insert 7 is fixed together with a pin that passes through the nut end of the connecting bolt 9. The other end of the insert 7 passes through the second narrow slit 12 of the hollow rotating shaft 4 and is fixedly connected to the sliding sleeve 3. The vertical movement of the translation handle 8 drives the roller bearing 2 to move up and down, which in turn drives the sliding sleeve 3 to move up and down. The sliding sleeve 3 then drives the insert 7 to move up and down, causing the steel wire 17 to extend and retract. When the hollow shaft 4 rotates, the insert 7, which passes through the second slit 12 on the hollow shaft 4, rotates, causing the indirectly connected steel wire 17 to rotate. This allows the hollow shaft 4 to be rotatably housed inside the outer cylinder 1, making the operation of the hollow shaft 4 more stable. The outer cylinder 1 does not rotate, making it safer. The translation handle 8 passes through the first slit 11 and exits the outer cylinder 1, facilitating the vertical movement of the steel wire 17. This allows the steel wire 17 to extend outward while rotating, making it easier to drill into the pipe.

[0022] In this embodiment, the lower end of the outer cylinder 1 is provided with an adsorption plate 15 with its opening facing downwards, and a steel wire 17 extends out from the adsorption plate 15. During use, the adsorption plate 15 can adhere to the inlet of the toilet pipe, preventing splashing when the steel wire 17 agitates.

[0023] In this embodiment, a ring-shaped tube 14 is arranged around the top outer circumference of the adsorption plate 15. A water pipe 18 is connected to one side of the top of the ring-shaped tube 14, and multiple water outlet holes 16 communicating with the inner cavity of the adsorption plate 15 are evenly distributed around the bottom of the ring-shaped tube 14. After flushing the toilet, the water pipe 18 is connected to the water flow to rinse the steel wire 17 and the adsorption plate 15.

[0024] In this embodiment, the upper end of the hollow shaft 4 is mounted on the inner wall of the outer cylinder 1 via an upper bearing 6, and the lower end of the hollow shaft 4 is mounted on the inner wall of the outer cylinder 1 via a lower bearing 13. A connector 5 is provided at the top of the upper end of the hollow shaft 4, which can be connected to the shaft of the electric drill tool 19. The shaft of the electric drill tool 19 is inserted into the connector 5, and a pin is used to connect the two, passing through the connector 5 and the shaft.

[0025] In this embodiment, the first slit 11 extends axially from the middle of the outer cylinder 1 to near both ends of the outer cylinder 1, and the second slit 12 extends axially from the middle of the hollow shaft 4 to near both ends of the hollow shaft 4. No gaps are formed at the ends of the outer cylinder 1 and the hollow shaft 4, thus not affecting the overall strength.

[0026] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0027] As shown in Figures 1-6, first, connect the spindle of the electric drill tool 19 to the connector 5 at the upper end of the hollow spindle 4. Attach the suction plate 15 at the lower end of the outer cylinder 1 to the pipe opening inside the toilet. Then, start the electric drill tool 19 to agitate the steel wire 17. Gradually move the horizontal handle 8 downwards, allowing the steel wire 17 to drill into the pipe while agitating. The steel wire 17 breaks up and clears the blockage in the pipe. The blockage does not need to be removed; flush it directly. Finally, after clearing the pipe, connect the water pipe 18 to the water source and rinse the steel wire 17 and the inner wall of the suction plate 15.

[0028] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model, as well as some of its applications, and are not intended to limit this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
