Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a urinal, and more particularly to a household folding urinal. Background Technology
[0002] A urinal is a toilet used in men's restrooms. Urinals are usually quite large and require dedicated water supply and drainage pipes during installation. When using a urinal, urine often splashes onto the rim, and the flushing device usually cannot clean the rim. Therefore, existing urinals actually have cleaning blind spots, and if not cleaned in time, they are prone to odor. Therefore, urinals are usually not used in home bathrooms, but rather in public restrooms. Methods to remove odors in public restrooms usually include placing air fresheners or burning mosquito coils.
[0003] There is a need for urinals in home bathrooms. However, compared to public bathrooms, home bathrooms are usually smaller and less ventilated. If urinals are not cleaned in time, they are more likely to produce odors. Therefore, current urinals are not well suited for home bathrooms. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a household folding urinal, which solves the technical defect that existing urinals are not suitable for household bathrooms.
[0005] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a household folding urinal, including a sealing cover, a urine collection trough, and a shell with a top opening. An outlet for connecting to the drain pipe in the bathroom is provided at the bottom of the shell. One end of the sealing cover is rotatably connected to the front end of the top of the shell. The sealing cover can be flipped relative to the shell to open or close it. The urine collection trough includes a first urine collection plate and a second urine collection plate. First connecting plates are provided on the left and right sides of the first urine collection plate facing the second urine collection plate. The first urine collection trough and the two first connecting plates form a first urine collection trough. The upper end of the first urine collection plate is rotatably connected to the other end of the sealing cover. The second urine collection plate has second connecting plates on its left and right sides facing the first urine collection plate. A second urine collection groove is formed between the two second connecting plates and the second urine collection plate. Two first connecting plates are rotatably connected to the two second connecting plates respectively. The first and second urine collection grooves face each other. The rear side of the upper part of the shell slides into the second urine collection plate. The first and second urine collection plates rotate relative to each other as the sealing cover flips upwards. When the sealing cover flips to the vertical position, the first and second urine collection plates are pulled out of the shell and open. Flipping the sealing cover downwards pushes the first and second urine collection plates to rotate relative to each other and be stored inside the shell. This invention, by setting a sealing cover on the shell, allows the shell to open or close by flipping the cover, and the urine collection groove can enter and exit the shell while the sealing cover is flipping. When not in use, the urine collection groove is stored inside the shell, effectively reducing the continuous emission of odor from the urine collection groove into the bathroom, keeping the air in the bathroom relatively fresh, and thus making it suitable for use in relatively small household bathrooms.
[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, it also includes a geared motor, a drive shaft, and a crank-connecting rod mechanism. One end of the drive shaft extends from the housing and is connected to the geared motor. The drive shaft is rotatably connected to the housing by two bearings and is driven by the geared motor to rotate relative to the housing. The crank-connecting rod mechanism includes a crank and a first connecting rod. One end of the crank is fixedly connected to the drive shaft and perpendicular to the drive shaft. The two ends of the first connecting rod are rotatably connected to the sealing cover and the other end of the crank, respectively. The geared motor drives the drive shaft to rotate, and the drive shaft drives the sealing cover to flip through the crank-connecting rod mechanism. This utility model drives the drive shaft connected to it to rotate through the geared motor, and then the drive shaft drives the crank-connecting rod mechanism, so that the geared motor drives the sealing cover to flip. This utility model can be equipped with two crank-connecting rod mechanisms, so that the left and right sides of the sealing cover are more evenly stressed, which is more conducive to the flipping of the sealing cover and the entry and exit of the urine collection tank from the housing.
[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, a second connecting rod is also included, with both ends of the second connecting rod rotatably connected to the housing and the first connecting plate, respectively. This utility model provides a second connecting rod to support the urine collection trough from below, making the movement of the urine collection trough out of and back into the housing more stable.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, it also includes an electromagnetic water valve and a shower head. The shower head is disposed inside the housing and connected to the electromagnetic water valve. The shower head is connected to the indoor tap water pipe through the electromagnetic water valve. When the housing is closed with the sealing cover, the electromagnetic water valve opens, and the shower head sprays water to rinse the first and second urine collection tanks. By incorporating the electromagnetic water valve and shower head, this utility model can rinse the urine collection tanks, thereby further reducing odors generated during use. Furthermore, since the urine collection tanks are housed within the housing before rinsing, this utility model effectively prevents water from overflowing and causing dampness on the bathroom floor.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, a slide is provided on the upper part of the shell away from the sealing cover and rotatably connected to the shell. The bottom end of the slide is inclined forward. A skid is provided on the second urine collection plate away from the first urine collection plate. When the second urine collection plate and the first urine collection plate rotate and move up and down with the rotation of the sealing cover, the skid slides relative to the slide. The sliding track and skid of this utility model can guide and limit the sliding of the urine collection tank, making the movement of the urine collection tank more stable.
[0010] As a further improvement of this invention, it also includes an electric air pump and a water level sensor. The air outlet of the electric air pump is connected to the inside of the housing. When the housing is closed with the sealing cover, the electric air pump inflates the housing. The water level sensor is located inside the housing. When the liquid level inside the housing is lower than the water level sensor, the electric air pump stops inflating the housing. This invention, by inflating the housing with an electric air pump, can quickly drain the water inside the housing, which is particularly suitable for situations where the outlet is connected to a drain pipe with a relatively thin pipe. The water level sensor detects the liquid level inside the housing. When the water level inside the housing is lower than the water level sensor, the electric air pump stops inflating the housing, facilitating the control of the electric air pump.
[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, it also includes a waterproof sealing box disposed on one side of the housing. Both the geared motor and the electric air pump are housed within the waterproof sealing box. An air inlet is provided on the waterproof sealing box, which is connected to the gas inlet of the electric air pump. This utility model, by incorporating the waterproof sealing box, can protect the geared motor and the electric air pump, preventing damage caused by the humid environment of the bathroom.
[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, it also includes a limit rod and two positioning switches. The geared motor is a dual-output shaft motor, with one end of its output shaft connected to the drive shaft. The limit rod is fixed to the other end of the output shaft of the geared motor and is perpendicular to the output shaft. The positioning switches are located inside the waterproof sealing box and on both sides of the limit rod. The limit rod is driven by the geared motor to rotate between the two positioning switches. The geared motor stops rotating when the limit rod rotates to abut against the positioning switches. This utility model limits the rotation of the geared motor through the limit rod and positioning switches, resulting in higher accuracy of the sealing cover's flipping.
[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model, a sealing ring is also provided on the sealing cover, which engages with the top of the housing when the sealing cover is closed. This utility model improves the sealing performance when the sealing cover is closed on the housing by providing a sealing ring, thereby reducing the emission of odors from inside the housing and preventing water leakage from affecting the drainage of the housing when using an electric air pump.
[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model, it also includes two torsion springs. The two second connecting plates are located between the two first connecting plates, and there is a gap between the left and right second connecting plates and the left and right first connecting plates. The torsion springs are located between the second connecting plates and the first connecting plates, and their two ends are fixed to the second connecting plate and the first connecting plate respectively. When the second urine-collecting plate and the first urine-collecting plate rotate relative to each other, the torsion springs undergo torsional deformation to store or release energy. By incorporating torsion springs, this utility model ensures that it always maintains a force in the unfolding direction, improving the reliability of the urine-collecting trough's opening and closing.
[0015] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model is applicable to use in household bathrooms. This utility model uses a motor, a drive shaft, and two crank-connecting rod mechanisms to drive the sealing cover to flip while moving the urine collection tray out of or into the housing. The drive structure is simple, and this utility model has good sealing performance, reducing the odor that may be generated in the bathroom. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] like Figure 1 The household collapsible urinal shown includes a housing 1, a sealing cover 3, a geared motor 4, and a urine collection tray. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the shell 1 is a rectangular shell structure with an open top. A water outlet 2 is provided at the bottom of the shell 1. Inside the shell 1, four inclined plates 26 are installed, joined end-to-end to form a four-sided pyramid shape, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The tops of the inclined plates 26 are sealed and fixed to the middle or lower part of the inner surface of the shell 1. A through hole is provided at the connection point of the bottom ends of the four inclined plates 26, which is connected to the water outlet 2 via a water pipe. The water outlet 2 is used to connect to the toilet or drain pipe in the bathroom. When there are extra drain connections in the bathroom, a relatively thicker pipe can be used to connect the outlet 2 and the drain pipe. When there are no extra drain connections in the bathroom, a thinner pipe can be used to connect to the outlet 2. At the same time, the other end of the thinner pipe can be extended from under the toilet seat into the toilet and then discharged from the toilet into the drain pipe. This utility model has a pyramidal structure inside the shell 1 to facilitate the collection of urine and flushing water inside the shell 1 during use and discharge it downward from the through hole to the outlet 2 into the drain pipe.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 as well as Figure 7 As shown, the sealing cover 3 is a rectangular plate structure. One end of the sealing cover 3 is rotatably connected to the front end of the top of the housing 1 by two hinges 27, so that the sealing cover 3 can rotate up and down relative to the housing 1 around the hinges 27. The sealing cover 3 rotates upward relative to the housing 1 to open the opening at the top of the housing 1, and the sealing cover 3 rotates downward relative to the housing 1 to close the opening at the top of the housing 1. The geared motor 4 in this utility model is set outside the housing 1 and connected to the sealing cover 3. The geared motor 4 is used to drive the sealing cover 3 to rotate relative to the housing 1. The geared motor 4 has a self-locking function, which can keep the opening and closing angle of the sealing cover 3 stable when the geared motor 4 stops working. The output shaft of the geared motor 4 rotates forward to drive the sealing cover 2 to rotate upward, and the output shaft of the geared motor 4 rotates in reverse to drive the sealing cover 2 to rotate downward.
[0027] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the urine collection groove of this utility model includes a first urine collection plate 5 and a second urine collection plate 6. The first urine collection plate 5 is located in front of the second urine collection plate 6. The first urine collection plate 5 has a plate-like structure. First connecting plates 7 are provided on the left and right sides of the first urine collection plate 5 facing the second urine collection plate 6. The first connecting plates 7 on the left and right sides of the first urine collection plate 5 are the same in shape and size and are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the first urine collection plate 5. The two first connecting plates 7 are integrally formed with the first urine collection plate 5. A first urine collection groove with a cross-sectional shape of "U" is formed between the first urine collection plate 5 and the two first connecting plates 7. The upper end of the first urine collection plate 5 and the end of the sealing cover 3 away from the hinge 27 are connected by two first connecting plates fixed to the sealing cover 3 on the left and right. The ear plate 28 is rotatably connected. The second urine-collecting plate 6 is a plate-shaped structure. Second connecting plates 8 are provided on the left and right sides of the second urine-collecting plate 6, facing the first urine-collecting plate 5. The second connecting plates 8 on both sides of the second urine-collecting plate 6 are identical in shape and size and symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the second urine-collecting plate 6. The two second connecting plates 8 are integrally formed with the second urine-collecting plate 6, forming a second urine-collecting groove with a "U"-shaped cross-section. The lower parts of the two first connecting plates 7 are rotatably connected to the lower parts of the two second connecting plates 8 by a rotating shaft 13. The rear inner side of the upper part of the housing 1 slides with the second urine-collecting plate 6, guiding and limiting the sliding of the second urine-collecting plate 6. In this invention, the second urine-collecting plate 6 extends out of the housing 1, expanding the urine-receiving area in use and preventing leakage from contaminating the housing 1 and the ground. The shell 1, inclined plate 26, second urine collection plate 6 and first urine collection plate 5 in this utility model are all made of corrosion-resistant and hydrophobic materials (such as F51 duplex stainless steel), or hydrophobic materials (such as Teflon materials) are sprayed on the inner surface of the shell 1, the upper surface of the inclined plate 26, and the urine-contaminated surfaces of the second urine collection plate 6 and the first urine collection plate 5 to facilitate spray cleaning.
[0028] When the geared motor 4 drives the sealing cover 3 to flip upward, the first urine collecting plate 5 and the second urine collecting plate rotate relative to each other as the sealing cover 3 flips upward and are pulled upward by the sealing cover 3. When the sealing cover 3 flips to the vertical position, the first urine collecting plate 5 and the second urine collecting plate 6 are pulled out of the housing 1 by the sealing cover 3 and open. That is, while the first urine collecting plate 5 and the second urine collecting plate 6 move upward, their upper ends rotate in opposite directions, increasing the angle between them. When the first urine collecting plate 5 and the second urine collecting plate 6 rotate to their maximum angle, the first urine collecting plate 5 is basically in a vertical position, while the second urine collecting plate 6 is tilted, and the end of the second urine collecting plate 6 used for rotatable connection with the first urine collecting plate 5 tilts downward. Urine flows directly onto the second urine-collecting plate 6, while the first urine-collecting plate 5 prevents urine from splashing onto the sealing cover 3. The urine flows downward on the second urine-collecting plate 6, flows down from the gap between the first urine-collecting plate 5 and the second urine-collecting plate 6 onto the inclined plate 26, and is discharged into the drain pipe from the outlet 2. In this utility model, the length of the second connecting plate 8 is greater than the length of the second urine-collecting plate 6, so that when the urine-collecting tank is in the storage state, a gap is formed between the bottom of the first urine-collecting plate 5 and the second urine-collecting plate 6. When the reduction motor 4 drives the sealing cover 3 to flip downward, the downward flipping of the sealing cover 3 pushes the upper ends of the first urine-collecting plate 5 and the second urine-collecting plate 6 to rotate relative to each other, and the first urine-collecting plate 5 and the second urine-collecting plate 6 move downward at the same time and are stored in the housing 1.
[0029] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, in order to enable the geared motor 4 to drive the sealing cover 3 to flip, this utility model is provided with a drive shaft 9 and two crank-connecting rod mechanisms respectively located on the left and right sides of the first urine receiving plate 5. The drive shaft 9 is located in the upper front part of the housing 1. The drive shaft 9 is located in front of the first urine receiving plate 5. The right end of the drive shaft 9 extends out of the housing 1 and is connected to the output shaft of the geared motor 4. A bearing seat 33 is provided on each of the left and right sides of the housing 1. The drive shaft 9 is rotatably connected to the housing 1 by two ceramic bearings 29 set in the bearing seat 33 and is driven by the geared motor 4 to rotate relative to the housing 1. A rotary sealing ring 34 is provided on the rotating shaft 9 at the end of the bearing seat 33 to enhance the sealing between the drive shaft 9 and the housing 1. The crank-connecting rod mechanism of this invention includes a crank 10 and a first connecting rod 11. One end of the crank 10 is fixedly connected to and perpendicular to the drive shaft 9. One end of the first connecting rod 11 is rotatably connected to the crank 10, and the other end is rotatably connected to the sealing cover 3. A second connecting lug 30 is fixed to the middle of each of the left and right sides of the sealing cover 3. The first connecting rod 11 is rotatably connected to the second connecting lug 30. The geared motor 4 drives the crank 10 to rotate via the drive shaft 9, and the crank 10 drives the first connecting rod 11 to rotate. The sealing cover 3 flips as the first connecting rod 11 rotates. This invention uses ceramic bearings 29, which effectively ensures service life. The drive shaft 9, the first connecting rod 11, and the crank 10 in this invention are all made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel or engineering plastics to suit the humid environment inside the housing 1 of this invention.
[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, to improve the stability of the urine collection groove when it rotates with the sealing cover 3, this invention is equipped with two second connecting rods 12 located on the left and right sides of the second urine collection plate 6, respectively. One end of the second connecting rod 12 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rear part of the housing 1, and the other end of the second connecting rod 12 is rotatably connected to the first connecting plate 7. The second connecting rod 12, the first connecting plate 7, and the second connecting plate 8 located on the same side of the second urine collection plate 6 are connected by the same rotating shaft 13. In this invention, the center lines of the two rotating shafts 13 located on both sides of the second urine collection plate 6 are on the same horizontal line, and the two second connecting rods 12 are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides of the second urine collection plate 6. The second connecting rods 12 in this invention are made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel or engineering plastic.
[0031] like Figures 2 to 4 as well as Figure 7As shown, this utility model is equipped with an electromagnetic water valve 14 and multiple shower heads 15. The electromagnetic water valve 14 is located below the inclined plate 26 inside the housing 1. The electromagnetic water valve 14 is connected to the indoor tap water pipe through a water pipe passing through the housing 1. The water pipe of the electromagnetic water valve 14 in this utility model can be connected to the tap water pipe together with the water inlet pipe of the toilet in the bathroom. The electromagnetic water valve 14 is electrically connected to the control system. The control system in this application is the prior art. The control system is set with a duration for each opening of the electromagnetic water valve 14, such as the electromagnetic water valve 14 opening for 10 seconds and then closing. Multiple shower heads 15 are set inside the housing 1 and are connected to the electromagnetic water valve 14 through water pipes. When the electromagnetic water valve 14 is open, tap water is sprayed out from the shower heads 15 to rinse the first urine collection plate 5, the second urine collection plate 6 and the inside of the housing 1. When the electromagnetic water valve 14 is closed, no water is sprayed out from the shower heads 15. The number and position of the shower heads 15 in this utility model can be adjusted according to the actual situation.
[0032] like Figures 1 to 4 as well as Figures 6 to 7 As shown, to allow the second urine collection plate 6 to slide smoothly relative to the housing 1, this invention includes a skid 17 and a slide 16 located on the upper part of the housing 1 away from the sealing cover 3 and rotatably connected to the housing 1. The slide 16 is plate-shaped and fixedly connected to the housing 1. The bottom end of the slide 16 is inclined forward. The top and bottom ends of the slide 16 are respectively fixedly connected to the housing 1 by connecting short plates 31. The length of the connecting short plate 31 at the upper end of the slide 16 is shorter than the length of the connecting short plate 31 at the lower end, thereby allowing the lower end of the slide 16 to slide forward. The slide 16 tilts forward, and correspondingly, the upper end of the slide 16 tilts backward. The sled 17 is also plate-shaped and fixed to the second urine collection plate 6. When the second urine collection plate 6 and the first urine collection plate 5 rotate with the flipping of the sealing cover 3, the sled 17 slides relative to the slide 16. In this invention, the end of the second urine collection plate 6 away from the first urine collection plate 5 is bent upward. In the use state, the rear end of the second urine collection plate 6 tilts upward to ensure that urine can only flow forward and drain into the sewer pipe from the outlet 2 at the bottom of the housing 1. Both the sled 17 and the slide 16 in this invention are made of engineering plastic with self-lubricating, wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and waterproof functions. Their purpose is to guide the second urine collection plate 6 when it moves upward and forward or downward and backward.
[0033] This invention includes an electric air pump 18 and a water level sensor 19. The electric air pump 18 is fixed outside the housing 1 and electrically connected to the control system. The air outlet of the electric air pump 18 is connected to the inside of the housing 1 via a gas pipe. The water level sensor 19 is located on the inclined plate 26 inside the housing 1 and electrically connected to the control system. The water level sensor 19 is used to detect the water level inside the housing 1. With the sealing cover 3 closed, the electric air pump 18 inflates the housing, discharging the water used to flush the urinal from the outlet 2. When the water level is lower than the water level sensor 19, the sensor does not detect water in the housing 1, and the electric air pump 18 stops inflating the housing. When there are no extra drain pipe connections in the bathroom, the outlet 2 of this invention can be connected to the toilet via a thinner pipe, extending into the toilet from the gap under the toilet seat. The electric air pump 18 increases the air pressure inside the housing 1, allowing for smoother drainage.
[0034] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, to enhance the waterproofness of this invention, a waterproof sealing box 20 is provided. This waterproof sealing box 20 is located on the upper right outer side of the housing 1 and is sealed and fixed to the housing 1. The reduction motor 4, electric air pump 18, and control system are all housed within the waterproof sealing box 20. An air inlet 21 is provided at the bottom of the waterproof sealing box 20, which is connected to the gas inlet of the electric air pump 18. An mounting plate is fixed to the housing 1. The mounting plate includes a vertical mounting unit 35 and a horizontal mounting unit 36. The vertical mounting unit 35 is fixed to the housing 1, and the horizontal mounting unit 36 is fixed to the housing 1. There are at least two mounting units 36. This invention provides three horizontal mounting units 36, arranged at vertical intervals. The left end of each horizontal mounting unit 36 is fixedly connected to a vertical mounting unit 35. A geared motor 4 is mounted on the upper horizontal mounting unit 36, and an electric air pump 18 is mounted on the lower horizontal mounting unit 36. A waterproof sealing box 20 encloses the mounting plate and the geared motor 4 and electric air pump 18 on the mounting plate from the right side. The middle horizontal mounting unit 36 is used to mount the control system. Adhesive can be applied to the connection between the waterproof sealing box 20 and the housing 1 to ensure a sealed connection. This invention provides two waterproof buttons 37 electrically connected to the control system on the top of the waterproof sealing box 20. Pressing one waterproof button 37 causes the sealing cover 3 to flip upward to open the housing 1, while pressing the other waterproof button 37 causes the sealing cover 3 to flip downward to close the housing 1.
[0035] like Figure 4As shown, to improve the accuracy of the flipping of the sealing cover 3 in this utility model, a limit rod 22 and two positioning switches 23 are provided. The reduction motor 4 is a dual-output shaft motor, with its output shaft extending from both the left and right ends of the reduction motor 4. The left end of the output shaft of the reduction motor 4 is connected to the drive shaft 9 by a coupling 32. The limit rod 22 is fixed on the right end of the output shaft of the reduction motor 4 and is perpendicular to the output shaft. The positioning switches 23 are located inside the waterproof sealing box 20 and on both sides of the limit rod 22. The positioning switches 23 are electrically connected to the control system. Next, the limiting rod 22 is driven by the reduction motor 4 to rotate between the two positioning switches 23. When the limiting rod 22 rotates to abut against the positioning switch 23, the reduction motor 4 stops rotating, which is used to limit the flipping of the sealing cover 3. In this utility model, when the limiting rod 22 abuts against one of the positioning switches 23, the sealing cover 3 is in a horizontal state and closes the housing 1. When the limiting rod 22 abuts against the other positioning switch 23, the sealing cover 3 flips to a vertical state. That is, the flipping angle range of the sealing cover 3 in this utility model is between 0 and 90°.
[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in order to enhance the sealing performance of the sealing cover 3, this utility model is provided with a sealing ring 24. The sealing ring 24 is fixedly set on the sealing cover 3. When the sealing cover 3 closes the housing 1, the sealing ring 24 cooperates with the top of the housing 1. When the sealing cover 3 closes the housing 1, the sealing ring 24 extends into the housing 1 from the top of the housing 1 and fits against the inner surface of the top of the housing 1, preventing the gas inside the housing 1 from flowing out of the housing 1, reducing the odor generated by the gas emission, and at the same time ensuring the air pressure value inside the housing 1 when the electric air pump 18 inflates the housing 1, so that the water and urine inside the housing 1 can be discharged in time.
[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, this utility model is provided with two torsion springs 25. The two second connecting plates 8 are located between the two first connecting plates 7, and there is a gap between the two second connecting plates 8 and the two first connecting plates 7. The torsion springs 25 are located between the second connecting plates 8 and the first connecting plates 7 and are sleeved on the rotating shaft 13. The two ends of the torsion springs 25 are fixed to the second connecting plates 8 and the first connecting plates 7 respectively. When the second urine collecting plate 6 and the first urine collecting plate 5 rotate relative to each other, the torsion springs 25 undergo torsional deformation to store or release energy. When the urine collecting groove is stored in the housing 1, the angle between the second urine collecting plate 6 and the first urine collecting plate 5 decreases, and the torsion springs 25 twist to store energy. When the sealing cover 3 is flipped to open the housing 1, the angle between the second urine collecting plate 6 and the first urine collecting plate 5 increases, and the torsion springs 25 release energy.
