Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toilet auxiliary equipment technology, specifically to a toilet stool. Background Technology

[0002] Sitting toilets have become an essential household item. Studies have found that squatting to defecate is easier than sitting, as the anus and rectum can extend to their maximum extent in a squatting position, making defecation easier and reducing pressure on the anus during bowel movements. This helps prevent and treat constipation and hemorrhoids. Therefore, people often place a footstool next to the toilet, resting their feet on a higher footrest, which causes the buttocks to bend upwards. This posture, similar to squatting compared to a regular sitting posture, makes defecation smoother. However, existing toilet stools are usually fixed in structure, making them inconvenient to store in small areas like bathrooms. They also take up considerable space, causing inconvenience for users. Utility Model Content

[0003] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0004] This utility model mainly addresses the shortcomings of the existing technology, specifically relating to a toilet stool that solves the problems of inconvenient storage and large space occupation of existing toilet stools.

[0005] (II) Technical Solution

[0006] This utility model relates to a toilet stool, comprising a main body and legs. The main body includes a rotating part, and the legs are slidably installed in the main body, each leg including a rotating engagement part. The toilet stool has an unfolded state and a folded state. In the unfolded state, the legs form an angle with the main body. In the folded state, the legs are parallel to the main body. In the unfolded state, when the legs are driven to slide along the main body until the rotating part engages with the rotating engagement part, the legs rotate to remain parallel to the main body, thus entering the folded state. And / or in the folded state, when the legs are driven to rotate relative to the main body until they are opposite to the main body, the legs slide along the main body to enter the unfolded state, and the rotating part disengages from the rotating engagement part.

[0007] The advantages are that the toilet stool has two states. In the unfolded state, users can use the toilet stool to elevate their legs so that their buttocks bend upwards, making defecation smoother. In the folded state, users can fold up the legs for better storage, reducing the space occupied by the toilet stool and improving the user experience. When switching to the folded state by sliding the legs relative to the main body and then rotating them, this switching method can prevent the legs from accidentally rotating into the folded state during use, which would affect the user experience. Alternatively, when switching to the unfolded state by rotating the legs and then sliding them relative to the main body, the sliding action increases the contact area between the legs and the main body, making the legs more stable and reliable in the unfolded state.

[0008] In one alternative embodiment, the body includes a mounting groove, and the support leg includes a sliding block that engages with the mounting groove;

[0009] When the sliding block slides along the mounting groove to the bottom of the mounting groove, the side wall of the mounting groove limits the support leg so that the toilet stool is in the unfolded state; when the sliding block slides along the mounting groove to the top of the mounting groove, the rotating part engages with the rotating mating part.

[0010] And / or when the toilet stool is in the folded state, when the support leg rotates to be opposite the mounting groove, the support leg is driven to move along the mounting groove to the bottom of the mounting groove, so that the toilet stool is in the unfolded state.

[0011] The advantage is that when the support leg is installed in the mounting groove on the main body via the slider, the contact area between the side wall of the mounting groove and the support leg is larger. At the same time, the side wall of the mounting groove provides a limiting effect on the support leg to prevent it from shaking when installed in the mounting groove, making the toilet stool more stable and reliable.

[0012] In one optional embodiment, the main body further includes a guide member disposed in the mounting groove, and the leg further includes a guide fitting member that cooperates with the guide member, so that the leg slides in the mounting groove through the cooperation of the guide member and the guide fitting member.

[0013] The advantage is that the outriggers can slide in the mounting slot by cooperating with the guide components and guide mating components, allowing the outriggers to move along a specified trajectory / direction, while also preventing the outriggers from swaying relative to the main body during movement.

[0014] In one optional embodiment, the guide extends upward from the bottom of the mounting groove, and includes a guide groove; the guide fitting is a guide block disposed on the leg, the guide block being disposed in the guide groove and adapted to slide in the guide groove when the leg slides along the mounting groove.

[0015] The advantage is that the structure of the guide groove and the guide block allows the outrigger to slide along the mounting groove on a predetermined trajectory. At the same time, the guide groove can also restrict the guide block to prevent the guide block from sliding out of the guide groove and causing the outrigger to detach from the main body.

[0016] In one optional embodiment, the guide members are spaced apart in the mounting groove, and the guide grooves of adjacent guide members face opposite directions; the support leg is provided with a plurality of insertion grooves, and the guide block is provided on the opposite side walls of the insertion grooves, so that when the support leg enters the mounting groove, the guide member enters the insertion groove, and the guide block cooperates with the guide groove.

[0017] The advantage is that by setting up multiple guides, the outriggers will cooperate with multiple guides when sliding, which can prevent the outriggers from shaking during movement.

[0018] In one optional embodiment, the main body further includes a positioning member disposed in the mounting groove, and the support leg further includes a positioning fitting member that cooperates with the positioning member. The positioning fitting member and the guide fitting member are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the support leg, so that the support leg slides in the mounting groove through the cooperation of the positioning member and the positioning fitting member.

[0019] The advantage is that the positioning component ensures that the outriggers are stably and reliably positioned in the unfolded position, preventing them from wobbling. When the positioning and guiding components are respectively placed on opposite sides of the outriggers, both sides of the outriggers can be limited with the main body, further preventing the outriggers from wobbling.

[0020] In one optional embodiment, the positioning member is at least one positioning plate extending upward from the bottom of the mounting groove, and the top of the positioning plate is provided with a positioning groove; the positioning mating member is a positioning hole formed on the support leg, and the support leg forms a retaining edge at the end of the positioning hole away from the main body, so that when the support leg is in the extended state, the positioning plate is inserted into the positioning hole, and the retaining edge mates with the positioning groove.

[0021] In one optional embodiment, the main body further includes a first limiting member disposed in the mounting groove, and the support leg further includes a first limiting engagement member that cooperates with the first limiting member. When in the unfolded state, the first limiting member cooperates with the first limiting engagement member to restrict the movement of the support leg.

[0022] The advantage is that when the first limiting component and the first limiting mating component are engaged, they can limit the movement of the support leg, preventing the support leg from easily detaching from the mounting groove, so that the support leg can be stably and reliably installed in the mounting groove when the user moves the toilet stool.

[0023] In one optional embodiment, the first limiting member is a limiting hole formed in the side wall of the mounting groove, and the first limiting fitting member is a protrusion provided on the support leg. When the support leg slides to the bottom of the mounting groove, the protrusion is inserted into the limiting hole to restrict the movement of the support leg in the unfolded state.

[0024] And / or the top of the side wall of the mounting groove is provided with a clearance hole above the first limiting member, so that when the support leg and the body are installed, the first limiting member is temporarily placed in the clearance hole. When the sliding block slides to the bottom of the mounting groove, the first limiting member disengages from the clearance hole and moves along the mounting groove to engage with the first limiting member.

[0025] The advantages are that the processing of the protrusion and the limiting hole is simple; the limiting effect is reliable; and the setting of the avoidance hole allows the outrigger to avoid the first limiting mating part during installation, so as to prevent the main body from damaging the first limiting mating part during installation.

[0026] In one optional embodiment, the main body includes a mounting groove, the rotating part is disposed at the top of the mounting groove, the rotating part is a rotating groove, and the rotating mating part is a guide block;

[0027] The mounting groove extends upward from its bottom to form a guide member, which includes a guide groove that is connected to the rotating groove. The guide block is disposed in the guide groove. When the support leg is driven to slide along the mounting groove until the rotating part engages with the rotating mating part, the guide block moves along the guide groove into the rotating groove.

[0028] The advantage is that the rotating groove is connected to the guide groove, allowing the guide block to switch and move freely between the guide groove and the rotating groove, making the operation of sliding and rotating the legs relative to the main body smoother and providing a better user experience.

[0029] In one optional implementation, when in the deployed state, the extension direction of the support leg is defined as a first direction, and the direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the support leg is defined as a second direction. The width of the rotating groove is greater than the width of the guide groove. The size of the guide block in the first direction is greater than the size of the guide block in the second direction, and the size of the guide block in the first direction is greater than the width of the guide groove.

[0030] When the support leg rotates to a folded state relative to the main body, the guide block rotates in the rotating groove until the size of the guide block in the first direction corresponds to the width of the rotating groove, thereby restricting the guide block from entering the guide groove.

[0031] The advantage is that after the outrigger rotates, the end of the outrigger with the sliding block will not slide into the guide groove, thus preventing the outrigger from tilting and failing to maintain a stable folded state parallel to the main body.

[0032] In one optional embodiment, the main body further includes a second limiting member, and the support leg further includes a second limiting engagement member that cooperates with the second limiting member. When the second limiting member cooperates with the second limiting engagement member, the movement of the support leg is restricted in the folded state.

[0033] The advantage is that when the second limiting component and the second limiting mating component work together, they can limit the movement of the support leg, keeping the support leg parallel to the main body, i.e., in a folded state, so that the support leg will not automatically unfold when the user moves the toilet stool.

[0034] In one optional embodiment, the main body has a limiting plate on the side with the support leg, the second limiting member is a hook provided on the limiting plate, and the second limiting fitting member is a locking hole provided on the support leg. When the support leg rotates to be parallel to the main body, the hook engages in the locking hole.

[0035] The advantage is that the processing of the hooks and holes is simple and the positioning is secure. Attached Figure Description

[0048] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0049] Combined with appendix Figure 1-8 As shown, this utility model relates to a toilet stool, including a main body 10 and a support leg 20. The main body 10 includes a rotating part, and the support leg 20 is slidably installed in the main body 10, and the support leg 20 includes a rotating engagement part. The toilet stool has an unfolded state and a folded state. In the unfolded state, the support leg 20 forms an angle with the main body 10. In the folded state, the support leg 20 is parallel to the main body 10. In the unfolded state, when the support leg 20 is driven to slide along the main body 10 until the rotating part engages with the rotating engagement part, the support leg 20 rotates to remain parallel to the main body 10 to enter the folded state. And / or in the folded state, when the support leg 20 is driven to rotate relative to the main body 10 to be opposite to the main body 10, the support leg 20 slides along the main body 10 to enter the unfolded state, and the rotating part disengages from the rotating engagement part.

[0050] When switching to the folded state by first sliding the support leg 20 relative to the main body 10 and then rotating it, this switching method can prevent the support leg 20 from accidentally rotating to the folded state during use due to accidental shaking, which would affect the user experience. Alternatively, when switching to the unfolded state by first rotating the support leg 20 and then sliding it relative to the main body 10, the sliding action can increase the contact area between the support leg 20 and the main body 10, making the support leg 20 more stable and reliable in the unfolded state.

[0051] The main body 10 is used to form the stool body of the toilet stool. Preferably, the main body 10 has a foot area 101 for the user to step on on the side away from the support legs 20. To prevent the user's foot from sliding on the main body 10, several anti-slip structures can be provided in the foot area 101, such as raised / depressed patterns or textures. Preferably, one of the longer sides of the main body 10 has an inwardly recessed notch 102. The shape of the notch 102 matches the toilet, so that the toilet stool and the toilet can fit tightly together. At the same time, the notch 102 can also prevent the toilet stool from shaking. In this example, the notch 102 is preferably semi-circular to fit most toilets on the market.

[0052] The main body 10 is also provided with several reinforcing ribs on the side away from the foot-stepping area 101, and preferably the several reinforcing ribs are distributed in a grid pattern.

[0053] The support legs 20 are used to support the main body 10, so that the main body 10 maintains a certain height relative to the ground. When the user steps on the main body 10, the user's feet will be raised to a certain height, thereby bending the buttocks upward and extending the anus and rectum to facilitate better defecation. Preferably, the support legs 20 are arched, so that each support leg 20 has two feet 201 in contact with the ground. Generally, a toilet stool has one support leg 20 on each opposite side of the main body 10, so the toilet stool will have four feet 201 in contact with the ground, so that the main body 10 can be placed stably on the ground like a table. In this example, the preferred support legs 20 are U-shaped.

[0054] The main body 10 includes a rotating part, and the support leg 20 includes a rotating mating part, so that when the rotating part and the rotating mating part are engaged, the support leg 20 can rotate relative to the main body 10. In this example, the rotating part and the rotating mating part are preferably shaft-groove mating, that is, when one of the rotating part and the rotating mating part is a rotating shaft, the other is a rotating groove. Of course, the rotating part and the rotating mating part can also be shaft-hole mating or two snap-fit ​​mating parts that can rotate relative to each other, etc.

[0055] The support leg 20 is slidably installed in the main body 10, that is, the support leg 20 can slide relative to the main body 10. In this example, the main body 10 is preferably provided with a mounting groove 12, and the support leg 20 is provided with a slider. The slider is slidably set in the mounting groove 12, that is, the slider can slide from the bottom of the mounting groove 12 to the top of the mounting groove 12. It can be understood that the main body 10 is provided with a slider, and the support leg 20 is provided with a mounting groove 12, which can also realize the sliding of the support leg 20 relative to the main body 10.

[0056] The toilet stool has two states. In the unfolded state, the support legs 20 and the main body 10 form an angle, allowing the support legs 20 to support the main body 10 and keep it in a higher position. Users can use the toilet stool to elevate their legs so that their buttocks bend upwards, making defecation smoother. In this example, the support legs 20 and the main body 10 are preferably at a right angle, while an obtuse angle is optional. In the folded state, the support legs 20 and the main body 10 remain parallel to reduce the size of the toilet stool in the thickness direction, so as to facilitate better storage, reduce the space occupied by the toilet stool, and improve the user experience.

[0057] In one optional embodiment, the main body 10 includes a mounting groove 12, and the support leg 20 includes a sliding block 22 that engages with the mounting groove 12. When the sliding block 22 slides along the mounting groove 12 to the bottom of the mounting groove 12, the side wall of the mounting groove 12 limits the support leg 20, so that the toilet stool is in an unfolded state. When the sliding block 22 slides along the mounting groove 12 to the top of the mounting groove 12, the rotating part engages with the rotating engagement part, and the support leg 20 is installed in the mounting groove 12 on the main body 10 by a slider. The side wall of the mounting groove 12 has a larger contact area with the support leg 20. At the same time, the side wall of the mounting groove 12 limits the support leg 20 to prevent it from shaking when it is installed in the mounting groove 12, making the toilet stool more stable and reliable. In this example, the mounting groove 12 is preferably located in the groove on the side of the main body 10 away from the foot area 101. To prevent the support leg 20 from shaking after installation, the shape of the groove matches the cross-sectional shape of the support leg 20. In order to allow the support leg 20 to slide smoothly from the groove, the gap between the side wall of the groove and the side wall of the support leg 20 is preferably less than 1mm.

[0058] The support leg 20 has a sliding block 22 at the end away from the foot 201. The shape of the sliding block 22 matches the shape of the mounting groove 12, so that the support leg 20 is installed in the mounting groove 12 through the sliding block 22. In this example, the size of the sliding block 22 is preferably less than the size of the mounting groove 12 and less than the size of the cross section of the support leg 20 near the sliding block 22. This makes the connection between the sliding block 22 and the support leg 20 form a retaining edge. When the support leg 20 is installed in the mounting groove 12, the retaining edge will abut against the edge of the mounting groove 12 to prevent the support leg 20 from being inserted too deeply and making it difficult to remove the support leg 20.

[0059] When in the unfolded state, the support leg 20 is moved away from the main body 10, so that the support leg 20 moves from engaging with the bottom of the mounting groove 12 to engaging with the top of the mounting groove 12. At this time, the rotating part engages with the rotating engagement part, which is equivalent to pulling the support leg 20 out of the mounting groove 12.

[0060] When the toilet stool is in the folded state, after the support leg 20 rotates to be opposite the mounting groove 12, the support leg 20 is driven to move along the mounting groove 12 to the bottom of the mounting groove 12, so that the toilet stool is in the unfolded state. The support leg 20 is opposite the mounting groove 12, that is, the support leg 20 is facing the opening of the mounting groove 12, so that the support leg 20 can be inserted into the mounting groove 12 in the direction closer to the main body 10, and inserted from the top of the mounting groove 12 to the bottom of the mounting groove 12 to fix the support leg 20, so that the toilet stool is in the unfolded state.

[0061] In an optional embodiment, the main body 10 further includes a guide member 13 disposed in the mounting groove 12, and the support leg 20 further includes a guide fitting member that cooperates with the guide member 13, so that the support leg 20 slides in the mounting groove 12 through the cooperation of the guide member 13 and the guide fitting member. The cooperation of the guide member 13 and the guide fitting member enables the support leg 20 to slide in the mounting groove 12, so that the support leg 20 can move along a specified trajectory / direction, and at the same time prevents the support leg 20 from wobbling relative to the main body 10 during movement.

[0062] In one optional embodiment, the guide member 13 extends upward from the bottom of the mounting groove 12, and includes a guide groove 131; the guide mating member is a guide block 21 disposed on the support leg 20, the guide block 21 is disposed in the guide groove 131, and is adapted to slide in the guide groove 131 when the support leg 20 slides along the mounting groove 12; in this example, the guide member 13 is preferably a sheet structure, the guide groove 131 is a strip groove disposed on one side of the guide member 13, the guide groove 131 extends from the bottom of the guide member 13 toward the top, and the guide block 21 is a protruding structure disposed on the support leg 20. To facilitate the sliding of the guide block 21, the cross-sectional shape of the guide block 21 is set to arc or circle. It can be understood that the cross-sectional shape of the guide block 21 can also be set to square. The guide block 21 is inserted into the guide groove 131, so that the guide block 21 can slide in the guide groove 131.

[0063] The structure of the guide groove 131 cooperating with the guide block 21 allows the support leg 20 to slide along the mounting groove 12 on a predetermined trajectory. At the same time, the guide groove 131 can also restrict the guide block 21 to prevent the guide block 21 from sliding out of the guide groove 131 and causing the support leg 20 to detach from the main body 10.

[0064] Understandably, the guide member 13 is provided with a through strip-shaped guide hole (not shown in the figure). The guide hole extends from the bottom of the guide member 13 toward the top. The guide block 21 is dumbbell-shaped. The guide block 21 passes through the guide hole and can slide in the guide hole as the support leg 20 slides in the mounting groove 12.

[0065] Understandably, the guide 13 and the guide mating part are magnetic structures. For example, when the guide 13 is a magnetic part extending upward from the bottom of the mounting groove 12 (not shown in the figure), the guide mating part is a magnetic mating part (not shown in the figure). The magnetic part and the magnetic mating part magnetically engage to prevent the support leg 20 from detaching from the mounting groove 12. When the support leg 20 slides along the mounting groove 12, the magnetic part and the magnetic mating part slide relative to each other. One of the magnetic part and the magnetic mating part is a magnet, and the other is an iron part, or the magnetic poles of the two are opposite.

[0066] In one optional embodiment, the guide members 13 are provided at intervals in the mounting groove 12, and the guide grooves 131 of adjacent guide members 13 are oriented in opposite directions; the support leg 20 is provided with a plurality of insertion grooves 23, and the guide block 21 is provided on the opposite side walls of the insertion grooves 23, so that when the support leg 20 enters the mounting groove 12, the guide member 13 enters the insertion groove 23, and the guide block 21 cooperates with the guide groove 131.

[0067] Multiple guide members 13 are provided. When the support leg 20 slides, it will cooperate with the multiple guide members 13 to prevent the support leg 20 from shaking during movement.

[0068] In this example, a number of guide members 13 are preferably distributed in a straight line in the guide groove 131. The guide grooves 131 of adjacent guide members 13 are oriented in opposite directions. It can be understood that the guide members 13 are respectively provided on the opposite side walls of the mounting groove 12, and the guide grooves 131 on the guide members 13 are arranged opposite each other.

[0069] In an optional embodiment, the main body 10 further includes a positioning member disposed in the mounting groove 12, and the support leg 20 further includes a positioning fitting member that cooperates with the positioning member. The positioning fitting member and the guide fitting member are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the support leg 20, so that the support leg 20 slides in the mounting groove 12 through the cooperation of the positioning member and the positioning fitting member.

[0070] The positioning component ensures that the support leg 20 is stably and reliably positioned in the unfolded position, preventing the support leg 20 from shaking. When the positioning and guiding components are respectively located on opposite sides of the support leg 20, both opposite sides of the support leg 20 can form a limit with the main body 10, further preventing the support leg 20 from shaking.

[0071] In one optional embodiment, the positioning member is at least one positioning plate 14 extending upward from the bottom of the mounting groove 12, and the top of the positioning plate 14 is provided with a positioning groove 141; the positioning mating member is a positioning hole 24 formed on the support leg 20, and the support leg 20 forms a retaining edge 241 at the end of the positioning hole 24 away from the main body 10, so that when the support leg 20 is in the extended state, the positioning plate 14 is inserted into the positioning hole 24, and the retaining edge 241 engages with the positioning groove 141.

[0072] The positioning plate 14 is disposed in the mounting groove 12. In this example, the preferred positioning plate 14 is a flat plate extending upward from the bottom of the mounting groove 12, or a flat plate extending from the side wall of the mounting groove 12 toward the center of the mounting groove 12, or the bottom of the positioning plate 14 is connected to the bottom of the mounting groove 12, and the side is connected to the side wall of the mounting groove 12.

[0073] The positioning groove 141 can be a groove formed by the downward indentation of the top of the positioning plate 14, or the top of the positioning plate 14 can be L-shaped, and the gap between the top of the positioning plate 14 and the side wall of the mounting groove 12 can be formed.

[0074] The positioning hole 24 is a groove provided on the support leg 20. In this example, the preferred positioning hole 24 extends from the end of the support leg 20 that is close to the main body 10 to the end that is far away from the main body 10. The design position of the positioning hole 24 matches the setting position of the positioning plate 14 so that the positioning plate 14 can enter the positioning hole 24 for cooperation.

[0075] The baffle 241 is provided in the positioning hole 24 and is used to abut against the positioning groove 141 so as to support the support leg 20 and prevent the support leg 20 from shaking.

[0076] In an optional embodiment, the main body 10 further includes a first limiting member 15 disposed in the mounting groove 12, and the support leg 20 further includes a first limiting engagement member 25 that cooperates with the first limiting member 15. When in the unfolded state, the first limiting member 15 cooperates with the first limiting engagement member 25 to restrict the movement of the support leg 20.

[0077] When the first limiting member 15 and the first limiting cooperating member 25 cooperate, they can limit the movement of the support leg 20, preventing the support leg 20 from easily detaching from the mounting groove 12, so that when the user moves the toilet stool, the support leg 20 can be stably and reliably installed in the mounting groove 12.

[0078] In one optional embodiment, the first limiting member 15 is a limiting hole formed in the side wall of the mounting groove 12, and the first limiting fitting member 25 is a protrusion provided on the support leg 20. When the support leg 20 slides to the bottom of the mounting groove 12, the protrusion is inserted into the limiting hole to restrict the movement of the support leg 20 in the unfolded state. The processing method of the protrusion and the limiting hole is simple and the limiting effect is reliable. In order to facilitate the easy disengagement of the protrusion from the limiting groove, a guide slope can be provided on the protrusion.

[0079] Understandably, the first limiting member 15 is a protrusion extending from the side wall of the mounting groove 12, and the first limiting fitting member 25 is a limiting hole provided on the support leg 20. When the support leg 20 is engaged with the bottom of the mounting groove 12, the protrusion is inserted into the limiting hole to restrict the movement of the support leg 20.

[0080] Understandably, the first limiting member 15 is a magnetic member provided on the side wall of the mounting groove 12, and the first limiting mating member 25 is a magnetic mating member provided on the support leg 20. The magnetic member and the magnetic mating member are either magnets or iron members, or their magnetic poles are opposite. When the support leg 20 is mated with the bottom of the mounting groove 12, the magnetic member and the magnetic mating member are magnetically attracted and fixed to limit the movement of the support leg 20.

[0081] Understandably, the first limiting member 15 is a first buckle provided on the side wall of the mounting groove 12, and the first limiting fitting member 25 is a second buckle provided on the support leg 20. When the support leg 20 is engaged with the bottom of the mounting groove 12, the first buckle and the second buckle are engaged and fixed to restrict the movement of the support leg 20.

[0082] In one optional embodiment, the top of the side wall of the mounting groove 12 is provided with a clearance hole 16 above the first limiting member 15, so that when the support leg 20 and the main body 10 are installed, the first limiting fitting member 25 is temporarily disposed in the clearance hole 16. When the sliding block 22 slides to the bottom of the mounting groove 12, the first limiting fitting member 25 disengages from the clearance hole 16 and moves along the mounting groove 12 to engage with the first limiting member 15.

[0083] The avoidance hole 16 is provided so that the outrigger 20 can avoid the first limiting fitting 25 during installation, so as to prevent the main body 10 from damaging the first limiting fitting 25 during installation.

[0084] In this example, a first limiting member 15 is preferably provided on the side wall of the mounting groove 12 near the bottom. That is, a limiting hole is provided at the bottom of the side wall of the mounting groove 12, and an avoidance hole 16 is provided directly above the side wall of the mounting groove 12. The avoidance hole 16 is recessed from the top of the mounting groove 12 toward the limiting hole to form a notch 102, so that when the support leg 20 is installed, the first limiting fitting member 25 enters the notch 102, preventing the side wall of the mounting groove 12 from damaging the first limiting fitting member 25.

[0085] In one optional embodiment, the main body 10 includes a mounting groove 12, the rotating part is disposed on the top of the mounting groove 12, the rotating part is a rotating groove 11, and the rotating mating part is a guide block 21;

[0086] The mounting groove 12 extends upward from its bottom to form a guide member 13. The guide member 13 includes a guide groove 131, which is connected to the rotating groove 11. The guide block 21 is disposed in the guide groove 131. When the support leg 20 is driven to slide along the mounting groove 12 until the rotating part engages with the rotating mating part, the guide block 21 moves along the guide groove 131 into the rotating groove 11.

[0087] When the rotating groove 11 is located at the top of the mounting groove 12, the guide block 21 can enter the rotating groove 11 when the support leg 20 slides to the top of the mounting groove 12 relative to the main body 10. In order to facilitate the rotation of the guide block 21, the rotating groove 11 is preferably circular.

[0088] The top of the guide member 13 is provided with an installation port for the guide block 21 to enter the guide groove 131 and the rotating groove 11. The installation port is a groove provided on the side wall of the guide groove 131. In order to better allow the guide block 21 to enter, an inclined / arc-shaped guide surface can be provided at the installation port.

[0089] The rotating groove 11 is connected to the guide groove 131, which allows the guide block 21 to switch and move freely between the guide groove 131 and the rotating groove 11, making the operation of sliding and rotating the support leg 20 relative to the main body 10 smoother and providing a better user experience.

[0090] In one optional implementation, when in the unfolded state, the extension direction of the support leg 20 is defined as a first direction, and the direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the support leg 20 is defined as a second direction. The width of the rotating groove 11 is greater than the width of the guide groove 131. The size of the guide block 21 in the first direction is greater than the size of the guide block 21 in the second direction, and the size of the guide block 21 in the first direction is greater than the width of the guide groove 131.

[0091] When the support leg 20 rotates to a folded state relative to the main body 10, the guide block 21 rotates in the rotating groove 11 until the size of the guide block 21 in the first direction corresponds to the width of the rotating groove 11, so as to restrict the guide block 21 from entering the guide groove 131.

[0092] This prevents the end of the support leg 20 with the sliding block 22 from sliding into the guide groove 131 after rotation, thus preventing the support leg 20 from tilting and failing to maintain a stable folded state parallel to the main body 10.

[0093] The first direction is the direction in which the support leg 20 extends from the end closest to the main body 10 toward the end furthest from the main body 10 when the toilet stool is in the unfolded state. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. The width direction of the rotating groove 11 and the width direction of the guide groove 131 are perpendicular to the extension direction of the guide groove 131.

[0094] In one optional embodiment, the main body 10 further includes a second limiting member 17, and the support leg 20 further includes a second limiting engagement member 26 that cooperates with the second limiting member 17. When the second limiting member 17 and the second limiting engagement member 26 cooperate, the movement of the support leg 20 is restricted in the folded state.

[0095] When the second limiting member 17 cooperates with the second limiting cooperating member 26, it can limit the movement of the support leg 20, so that the support leg 20 is kept in a state parallel to the main body 10, that is, in a folded state, so that the support leg 20 will not automatically unfold when the user moves the toilet stool.

[0096] In one optional embodiment, the main body 10 is provided with a limiting plate on the side with the support leg 20. The second limiting member 17 is a hook provided on the limiting plate, and the second limiting fitting member 26 is a locking hole provided on the support leg 20. When the support leg 20 rotates to be parallel with the main body 10, the hook engages in the locking hole. The processing method of the hook and the locking hole is simple and the limiting is firm. In this example, the limiting plate extends from one side of the main body 10 to the other side, so that the limiting part also has the function of reinforcing rib. In order to facilitate the easy disengagement of the hook and the locking hole, a guide slope can be provided on the hook.

[0097] Understandably, the second limiting component 17 is a locking hole, and the second limiting mating component 26 is a locking hook.

[0098] Understandably, the second limiting member 17 and the second limiting mating member 26 can also be magnetically attached or snap-fitted.

[0099] When switching from the unfolded state to the folded state, the support leg 20 is first moved from the bottom of the mounting groove 12 to the top of the mounting groove 12. The first limiting member 15 disengages from the first limiting cooperating member 25, so that the guide block 21 moves along the guide groove 131 into the rotating groove 11. At this time, the support leg 20 is rotated around the rotating groove 11 until it is parallel to the main body 10. The second limiting member 17 engages with the second limiting cooperating member 26 so that the toilet stool is in the folded state.

[0100] When switching from the folded state to the unfolded state, first rotate the support leg 20 around the rotating groove 11 to a position opposite to the mounting groove 12. The second limiting member 17 disengages from the second limiting cooperating member 26. Then, insert the support leg 20 along the mounting groove 12 to the bottom of the mounting groove 12, so that the guide block 21 disengages from the rotating groove 11 and enters the guide groove 131. When it moves along the top of the guide groove 131 to the bottom of the guide groove 131, the first limiting member 15 engages with the first limiting cooperating member 25, and the positioning member engages with the positioning cooperating member, so that the toilet stool is in the unfolded state.

[0101] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
