Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an easy-to-displace toilet relocation device, which belongs to the category of accessories for toilet installation. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of sanitary ceramics, according to the national standard GB / T 6952-2015, floor-mounted down-draft toilets are typically designed with two common rough-in distance specifications: 305mm and 400mm. To meet the needs of different installation environments, various toilet offset devices with horizontally adjustable pipe lengths have appeared on the market. However, existing toilet offset devices generally have some technical defects, especially performing poorly in the "artificial object and toilet paper ball" test. Most offset devices on the market currently use an L-shaped pipe design, with a diameter that is usually circular, approximately 50mm. Although these offset devices can meet the requirements in general flushing function tests, they often experience clogging or poor drainage problems when conducting the "artificial object and toilet paper ball" test.
[0003] The primary cause of this problem lies in the physical characteristics of the artificial specimens and their movement within the pipes. The artificial specimens are typically 90mm to 100mm in length and weigh approximately 50g. When a large number of artificial specimens (or contaminants) are flushed at once (usually more than 7, with a total weight of 350g), multiple specimens can easily become stuck and stand upright at the inflection point of the L-shaped displacement device, leading to pipe blockage. Furthermore, the existing displacement device's pipe diameter design and inflection point shape do not adequately consider the passage of artificial specimens, further exacerbating the risk of blockage. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a toilet relocation device that is easy to discharge.
[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] An easy-to-discharge toilet offset device includes a main body comprising an inlet, an inclined section, a transverse section, and an outlet arranged along the discharge direction; the inlet and outlet are located at the upper and lower ends on both sides of the main body; the inclined section can form an angle with the horizontal plane; it also includes a turning section disposed between the inclined section and the transverse section for bridging the change in the discharge direction angle between the inclined section and the transverse section; the diameter of the opening of the turning section can be larger than the diameter of the openings of the inclined section and the transverse section.
[0007] In this embodiment of the invention, an arc-shaped segment is also included, which is disposed at the rear end of the transverse segment, and the outlet is disposed at the tail end of the arc-shaped segment, so as to guide the sewage of the transverse segment into the drain pipe.
[0008] In this embodiment of the invention, the cross-section of the transverse segment and / or arc segment opening is circular.
[0009] In this embodiment of the utility model, a flange is also included. The flange is disposed on the outer periphery of the arc segment. The lower end of the flange can be connected to the ground, and the upper end surface of the flange can be adapted to the lower outer periphery surface of the transverse segment.
[0010] In this embodiment of the invention, the inlet can be sealed to the drain outlet of the toilet, and the center line of the inclined section can form an angle with the horizontal plane, the angle being 60-70°.
[0011] In this embodiment of the invention, the cross-section of the inclined section opening is square.
[0012] In this embodiment of the invention, the diameter of the inlet is larger than the diameter of the oblique section opening.
[0013] In this embodiment of the invention, a support portion is provided below the turning portion and / or the inclined section, and the lower end of the support portion is configured to connect with the ground.
[0014] In this embodiment of the invention, the inlet and / or outlet can be vertically configured on the body so that the sewage discharge direction is the same.
[0015] This utility model discloses an easy-to-discharge toilet offset device with the following advantages: The guiding effect of the inclined section allows the artificial sample to slide into the horizontal section along a predetermined path, reducing the occurrence of jamming. The opening diameter of the turning section is the largest and the surface is smooth and rounded, so even if multiple artificial samples pass through vertically, it will not cause blockage. The smooth transition design of the arc section guides the flow direction of waste and avoids blockage problems caused by sharp turns. The design of the flange and support improves the installation stability and durability of the offset device, meeting the needs of long-term use.
[0016] In summary, this invention significantly improves the discharge effect of artificial specimens and paper balls by optimizing the pipe diameter, pipe shape, and key component design of the shifter, and solves the clogging problem of traditional L-shaped shifters in the discharge test of "artificial specimens and paper balls", thus achieving the expected technical effect.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely represents selected embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
[0023] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0024] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0025] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0026] Referring to the accompanying drawings, the overall structure of this utility model includes an inlet 1, an inclined section 2, a turning portion 3, a transverse section 4, an arc-shaped section 5, an outlet 6, a flange 7, and a support portion 8. The inlet 1 is located at the upper end of the displacement device body and is sealed to the toilet drain outlet (not shown in the figure) to ensure that waste does not leak out. The diameter of the inlet 1 can be larger than the diameter of the inlet of the inclined section 2; for example, the inner diameter of the inlet 1 is 60mm, while the inner diameter of the inclined section 2 is 50mm. This size design ensures that waste (using a man-made sample as an example) falls vertically from the toilet drain outlet 9 and smoothly enters the inclined section 2, avoiding jamming. To achieve this effect, the inlet 1 and the toilet drain outlet can be sealed with a silicone sealing ring.
[0027] The inclined section 2 forms an angle α with the horizontal plane, preferably ranging from 60° to 70°, but can be 60°, 62°, 65°, 68°, or 70°. This angle design allows the inclined section 2 to guide the artificial specimen, enabling it to slide along the inclined surface into the subsequent pipe under the influence of gravity. The cross-section of the inclined section 2 is square, rather than circular. Compared to a traditional circular cross-section, a square cross-section has a full plane, increasing the contact area and altering the fluid flow characteristics, thereby improving the passage performance of the artificial specimen. Furthermore, the inner wall of the inclined section 2 is polished, further reducing frictional resistance and making it easier for the artificial specimen to pass through.
[0028] The turning section 3 is positioned between the inclined section 2 and the transverse section 4 to bridge the change in the discharge direction angle between the two sections, creating a turning point. In one embodiment, the opening diameter of the turning section 3 is designed to be at the maximum position of the entire pipe, at least larger than that of the inclined and transverse sections. The inner surface of the turning section 3 is also polished to ensure a smooth and rounded inner wall. This design effectively prevents multiple artificial specimens from becoming stuck vertically at the turning point. For example, under test conditions, when seven artificial specimens pass through the turning section 3 simultaneously, due to the large opening diameter and smooth inner wall, the artificial specimens can smoothly enter the transverse section 4 without causing blockage.
[0029] The transverse section 4 connects to the turning section 3 and has a circular cross-section; it can also be installed horizontally. The length of the transverse section 4 can be adjusted according to actual installation needs to meet the installation requirements of toilets with different pit distance specifications. Furthermore, the inner wall of the transverse section 4 is polished to further reduce frictional resistance.
[0030] The arc-shaped section 5 is positioned at the rear end of the transverse section 4, and the outlet 6 is located at the tail of the arc-shaped section 5, used to guide waste into the drain pipe (not shown in the figure). The design of the arc-shaped section 5 guides the flow of waste through a smooth transition, avoiding blockage problems caused by abrupt changes in direction (from transverse to vertical). The inner wall of the arc-shaped section 5 is also polished, further improving the waste passage performance.
[0031] Flange 7 is positioned on the outer periphery of the arc-shaped section 5. The lower end of flange 7 connects to the ground surface 9, while its upper surface mates with the lower outer periphery of the transverse section 4, providing support. Flange 7 can be secured to the ground using bolts and bolt holes evenly distributed around its periphery. The design of flange 7 not only ensures stable installation of the displacement device but also provides additional sealing performance to prevent sewage leakage.
[0032] The support section 8 is located below the turning section 3 and / or the inclined section 2. The lower end of the support section 8 connects to the ground 9 to provide additional support, ensuring the stability and durability of the shifter.
[0033] In this invention, both the inlet 1 and the outlet 6 are vertically arranged on the main body, ensuring that the direction of waste discharge is the same, and matching the drain outlet and drain pipe. The connection between the inlet 1 and the toilet drain outlet 9 is achieved using a silicone sealing ring, ensuring a good sealing effect and long-term reliability.
[0034] In practical application, the working process of this utility model is as follows: S1 The artificial specimen falls vertically from the toilet drain outlet to inlet 1. Due to the large diameter of inlet 1, the artificial specimen can smoothly enter the inclined section 2. S2 After entering the inclined section 2, the artificial specimen slides along the inclined surface (inner side of the inclined section) under the action of gravity. The square cross-section and polished inner wall of the inclined section 2 work together to make the artificial specimen slide more smoothly into the turning part 3. S3 When reaching the turning part 3, due to the maximum diameter of the opening and the smooth and rounded inner wall, even if multiple artificial specimens pass through vertically, no blockage will occur. S4 After the artificial specimen enters the horizontal section 4, due to the large pipe diameter and smooth inner wall, multiple artificial specimens can pass through simultaneously without congestion or blockage. S5 Finally, the artificial specimen smoothly enters the sewage pipe through the smooth transition design of the arc-shaped section 5 to complete the discharge.
[0035] In summary, this invention significantly improves the discharge effect of artificial specimens and paper balls by optimizing the pipe shape and key component design of the shifter. The guiding effect of the inclined section 2, the large diameter and smooth inner wall of the turning section 3, the large diameter design of the transverse section 4, and the smooth transition design of the arc section 5 work together to solve the clogging problem of traditional L-shaped shifters in the discharge test of "artificial specimens and paper balls", achieving the expected technical effect.
