Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toilet technology, specifically to a toilet with an adjustable seat inner diameter. Background Technology
[0002] In clinical hospitalizations, especially for patients with leg ailments (such as fractures), using the toilet during rehabilitation is extremely inconvenient due to their inability to walk far. They often use bedpans for urination or defecation, which easily soils the sheets and is extremely unhygienic. This can also cause psychological distress for patients in the ward, affecting their bowel and bladder function, especially when other patients are present. This situation is particularly acute in hospital wards with limited medical resources and no private bathrooms. Even in hospitals with private bathrooms, patients still need to walk a distance, which remains a significant problem, especially for patients with mobility issues (such as those using crutches). Furthermore, bathroom floors are often slippery, increasing the risk of falls and hindering recovery. Therefore, a portable, hygienic bedpan that allows patients to urinate and defecate without needing to walk is essential.
[0003] The inner diameter of existing toilet seats is fixed. However, different people have different body shapes. For example, overweight people may find the seat too narrow, restricting their movement and making it uncomfortable. Children or slender people may find the standard inner diameter seat too large, lacking a sense of security and prone to slipping. Furthermore, for some special groups, such as people with mobility impairments or the elderly, using an unsuitable fixed seat can lead to incomplete cleaning and increase hygiene risks.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a toilet with an adjustable seat inner diameter. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a toilet with an adjustable seat inner diameter to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a toilet with an adjustable inner diameter of the seat ring, including a seat ring, a cover hinged to the seat ring, a sliding cavity opened in the center of the seat ring, a sliding cover assembly movably disposed in the sliding cavity, the sliding cover assembly including a sliding cover body, and a sliding snap-fit component disposed on the left side of the sliding cover body.
[0007] The sliding snap-fit assembly includes a telescopic rod. A telescopic groove is provided on the left side of the sliding cover body. The telescopic rod is fixedly installed in the center of the inner side wall of the telescopic groove cavity. A trapezoidal snap block is fixedly installed at the telescopic end of the telescopic rod. The telescopic groove is adapted to the trapezoidal snap block. A spring is sleeved on the surface of the telescopic rod. The outer end of the spring is fixedly welded to the inner side of the trapezoidal snap block and the outer end of the spring is fixedly welded to the inner side wall of the telescopic groove cavity.
[0008] The inner surface of the seat ring has several slots evenly spaced on the left side to match the trapezoidal locking blocks.
[0009] A limiting component is provided on the right side of the sliding cover body, symmetrical to the sliding snap-fit component. The limiting component includes a slider, which is fixedly installed on the right side of the sliding cover body. The slider and the trapezoidal snap-fit block are symmetrically arranged. A groove adapted to the slider is opened on the right side of the inner surface of the seat ring, and the slider is slidably installed in the groove.
[0010] The slider has an insertion hole in the center of its outer side, and a rotating rod is rotatably installed in the insertion hole. A limit block is fixedly installed in the center of the front end of the rotating rod, and a rotating groove that matches the limit block is opened inside the slider.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Example 1
[0025] Please see Figure 1-7 This utility model provides a technical solution: a toilet with an adjustable inner diameter of the seat ring, including a seat ring 1, a cover 2 hinged on the seat ring 1, a sliding cavity 4 opened in the center of the seat ring 1, a sliding cover assembly 3 movably arranged in the sliding cavity 4, the sliding cover assembly 3 including a sliding cover body 31, and a sliding snap-fit assembly 32 arranged on the left side of the sliding cover body 31.
[0026] The sliding cover body 31 is made of an airbag, avoiding the use of rigid materials and improving patient comfort.
[0027] The sliding latch assembly 32 includes a telescopic rod 322. A telescopic groove 321 is provided on the left side of the sliding cover body 31. The telescopic rod 322 is fixedly installed in the center of the inner side wall of the telescopic groove 321. A trapezoidal latch 324 is fixedly installed at the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 322. The telescopic groove 321 is adapted to the trapezoidal latch 324. A spring 323 is sleeved on the surface of the telescopic rod 322. The outer end of the spring 323 is fixedly welded to the inner side of the trapezoidal latch 324. The outer end of the spring 323 is fixedly welded to the inner side wall of the telescopic groove 321.
[0028] The inner surface of the seat ring 1 has several slots 325 that are evenly spaced on the left side and are adapted to the trapezoidal locking block 324;
[0029] When the patient needs to adjust the inner diameter of the seat ring 1, they only need to pull the sliding cover body 31. The trapezoidal locking block 324, which is locked in the slot 325, is subjected to force on its inclined surface. Through force decomposition, it can be seen that the trapezoidal locking block 324 will receive a force in the direction of the telescopic groove 321, causing the trapezoidal locking block 324 to retract into the telescopic groove 321. Then, the sliding cover body 31 slides in the sliding cavity 4 under the cooperation of the slider 331 and the sliding groove 336. Through the action of the spring 323, the trapezoidal locking block 324 rebounds and locks in the slot 325 at different positions. Users can insert the trapezoidal locking block 324 into the slots 325 at different positions according to their own needs, thereby adjusting the inner diameter of the seat ring 1. This allows patients of different body types to use the seat, enabling different groups of people to find the most comfortable sitting posture, reducing body pressure, providing more stable support, reducing the risk of accidental slipping or falling during use, ensuring user safety, improving comfort and convenience, reducing stain residue, helping to maintain the hygiene of the toilet, reducing the possibility of bacterial growth, and providing users with a healthier environment.
[0030] Example 2
[0031] A limiting component 33 is provided on the right side of the sliding cover body 31, symmetrically opposite to the sliding latching component 32. The limiting component 33 includes a slider 331, which is fixedly installed on the right side of the sliding cover body 31. The slider 331 and the trapezoidal latching block 324 are symmetrically arranged. A groove 336 adapted to the slider 331 is opened on the right side of the inner surface of the seat ring 1. The slider 331 is slidably installed in the groove 336. The slider 331 and the groove 336 slide together, which allows the sliding cover body 31 to slide better in the sliding cavity 4, thereby adjusting the inner diameter of the seat ring 1. It can be used by patients of different body types, is easy to operate, improves practicality, and improves user comfort.
[0032] A socket 333 is provided in the center of the outer side of the slider 331. A rotating rod 332 is rotatably installed in the socket 333. A limit block 334 is fixedly installed in the center of the front end of the rotating rod 332. A rotating groove 335 that matches the limit block 334 is provided inside the slider 331.
[0033] The outer surface of the seat ring 1 has several through holes 337 on the right side for inserting the rotating rod 332 into the insertion hole 333;
[0034] A series of through holes 337 correspond one-to-one with a series of slots 325;
[0035] When the inner diameter of the seat ring 1 is adjusted to a suitable size, the trapezoidal locking block 324 is locked in the corresponding slot 325 to prevent the sliding cover body 31 from sliding during use and affecting the patient's use. After the rotating rod 332 passes through the through hole 337, it is inserted into the corresponding insertion hole 333 of the slot 325 where the trapezoidal locking block 324 is locked. After insertion, the rotating rod 332 is rotated in the rotating groove 335. When the rotating rod 332 rotates 90°, it is locked in the limiting block 334. The rotating rod 332 can just rotate 90 degrees in the rotating groove 335. At this time, the rotating rod 332 cannot be pulled out, and the sliding cover body 31 will also be unable to slide in the sliding cavity 4. The sliding cover body 31 is limited here to prevent the sliding cover body 31 from sliding during use and affecting the patient's use, thus improving the stability of the device.
