Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toilet auxiliary technology, and in particular to a toilet auxiliary device. Background Technology

[0002] A toilet is a sanitary ware made primarily of water-resistant materials such as ceramics and plastics. Its main structure includes a seat, tank, and drain pipe. It uses siphon or direct flushing principles to flush waste into the sewer system. Breaking away from the traditional squatting toilet method, it allows people to defecate while sitting, greatly reducing leg pressure and fatigue. It is especially suitable for the elderly, pregnant women, and people with disabilities. With its comfort, ease of use, and convenience, it has become the mainstream sanitary ware in modern homes and public buildings, improving people's daily toilet experience and quality of life.

[0003] The toilet's auxiliary device integrates multiple technologies to achieve its functions. Through mechanical structures such as an electric lifting bracket and a stable handrail, driven by a motor or mechanical levers, it provides users with assistance and support in getting up. Sensors perceive user needs and environmental information in real time. For example, a pressure sensor detects a person sitting down and transmits the signal to the control system, which then adjusts the water output and water temperature of the cleaning mechanism, as well as the seat temperature of the heating mechanism. The drying mechanism uses a fan and heating element to blow hot air for drying. The deodorizing mechanism uses activated carbon adsorption, negative ion purification, or ozone decomposition to remove odors. All parts work together to optimize the user's toilet experience.

[0004] However, some existing toilet assist devices suffer from unstable connections between the device and the toilet. Due to the wide variety of toilet designs, materials, and installation structures on the market, coupled with a lack of standardized manufacturing processes and compatibility considerations for assist devices, users are highly prone to experiencing unstable connections. This instability not only affects the normal functioning of the assist device (e.g., the water spray angle shifts due to shaking of the smart cleaning nozzle, or uneven temperature distribution in the heated seat due to poor contact), but also poses serious safety hazards. When users try to stand up or adjust the device, an unstable connection can cause it to detach or shift, leading to falls, bumps, and other accidents. This significantly limits the market promotion and user experience improvement of toilet assist devices. Therefore, this paper proposes a toilet assist device to address these issues.

[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] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a toilet auxiliary device, including a toilet 1. Lifting chambers 2 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the toilet 1. Each lifting chamber 2 has a guide rail and a drive device installation space inside, providing guidance and power support for the up-and-down sliding of the lifting rod 3. The height of the connecting plate 4 can be adjusted according to the user's needs, making it suitable for people of different heights and with mobility impairments, thus improving the convenience and comfort of using the toilet 1. Lifting rods 3 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two lifting chambers 2. The lifting rods 3 can move vertically within the lifting chambers 2, driven by an electric push rod, hydraulic device, or screw transmission mechanism within the lifting chambers 2. This allows for precise control of the lifting height, causing the connecting plate 4 to rise or fall smoothly.

[0025] Two lifting rods 3 are fixedly connected to their top ends with connecting plates 4. The surface of the connecting plates 4 is flat and has a certain bearing area, which can evenly distribute the weight and pressure from components such as the moving columns 5 and connecting compartments 6, while also providing an installation base for the moving columns 5. Multiple moving columns 5 are slidably connected to the bottom end of the connecting plates 4. By adjusting the position of the moving columns 5, the positions of the connecting compartments 6, clamping plates 7 and 8 can be changed to meet the needs of users of different body types, or the clamping plate assembly can be folded up when not in use to save space. The bottom ends of the multiple moving columns 5 are fixedly connected to the connecting compartments 6. The function of the connecting compartments 6 is to connect the moving columns 5 to clamping plates 7 and 8, transmit the horizontal movement of the moving columns 5 to the clamping plate assembly, and provide guidance for the sliding of clamping plates 7 and 8, ensuring that the clamping plate assembly remains stable during opening and closing.

[0026] Multiple connecting compartments 6 have slidably connected clamping plates 7 on their adjacent bottom ends. Clamping plates 7, driven by the connecting compartments 6, cooperate with clamping plates 8 to clamp and secure the user. Multiple connecting compartments 6 also have slidably connected clamping plates 8 on their distant bottom ends. Clamping plates 8 and clamping plates 7 move relative to each other, forming a wraparound clamping grip on the user. Multiple clamping plates 7 have anti-slip pads 11 fixedly connected to their distant sides. Anti-slip pads 11 have a textured surface to increase friction with the user's body, preventing the user from slipping and losing balance while sitting on the toilet 1, further improving safety and comfort. Multiple clamping plates 8 have anti-slip pads 12 fixedly connected to their adjacent sides. When clamping plates 8 and clamping plates 7 clamp the user, anti-slip pads 12 and 11 work together to provide stable friction from both sides, ensuring the user maintains a stable sitting posture in all situations and preventing slipping or tipping.

[0027] Each of the multiple clamping plates 2 has two retractable columns 9 fixedly connected to its top inner wall. When the clamping plate 2 is subjected to external pressure, the retractable columns 9 can retract inward, buffering the external force through internal damping to prevent the clamping plate 2 from causing hard injury to the user. When the external force disappears, the retractable columns 9 can automatically return to their original position, maintaining the normal working state of the clamping plate 2. Each of the multiple retractable columns 9 is fitted with a spring 10. When the retractable column 9 retracts, it is compressed and stores elastic potential energy. When the external force decreases, the spring 10 releases energy to push the retractable column 9 back to its original position, assisting the retractable column 9 in achieving the buffering and resetting functions. Adjustment components for adjustment are fixedly connected to the front inner walls of the two lifting chambers 2.

[0028] Reference Figures 2 to 4 The adjustment assembly includes two fixed posts 13, which provide a stable mounting base for the entire adjustment assembly, ensuring that subsequent components can function normally in a fixed position. The tops of the two fixed posts 13 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the tops of the two lifting chambers 2, providing continuous and stable support for the user. The bottom ends of the two fixed posts 13 are rotatably connected to rotating shafts 14, which serve as the fulcrum for the telescopic column 15, allowing the telescopic column 15 to rotate 360° around its axis, enabling angle adjustment of subsequent components.

[0029] Telescopic columns 15 are fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the two pivots 14, and their lengths can be adjusted as needed. This telescopic design allows the adjustment assembly to adapt to the needs of users of different heights. By adjusting the length of the telescopic columns 15, the height and position of the pedal 19 can be changed, improving comfort and usability. A pivot 16 is rotatably connected to the inner walls of the bottom ends of the two telescopic columns 15. The pivot 16 serves as the fulcrum for the rotation of the fixed column 17, allowing the fixed column 17 to rotate relative to the telescopic columns 15, further increasing the flexibility of the adjustment assembly. Fixed columns 17 are fixedly connected to the outer bottom ends of the two pivots 16. The function of the fixed columns 17 is to connect the pivots 16 and the connecting rod 18, transmitting the rotation of the pivots 16 to the connecting rod 18, while providing stable support for the connecting rod 18, ensuring that the pedal 19 does not wobble or shift under force.

[0030] Connecting rods 18 are fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the two fixed columns 17. When the user steps on the pedal 19, the connecting rods 18 can evenly transmit and distribute the force to the lifting chamber 2. The pedal 19 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting rod 18. The pedal 19 is the part that the user steps on directly. Its large contact area can distribute the pressure of the user's feet. The anti-slip design can effectively prevent the user from slipping during the stepping process and improve the safety of use.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The two telescopic columns 15 are externally slidably connected to the front inner walls of the two lifting chambers 2. When the adjustment assembly is working, the telescopic columns 15 can move up and down within the lifting chamber 2 according to the force on the pedal 19 or the user's adjustment needs, while ensuring the accuracy of their own movement trajectory. The top inner walls of the two telescopic columns 15 are slidably connected to the outside of the two fixed columns 13. The fixed columns 13 are designed with a guide structure that matches the top inner wall of the telescopic columns 15, allowing the telescopic columns 15 to rotate and slide around the fixed columns 13 at a certain angle. Limiting grooves are respectively opened on the adjacent sides of the two lifting chambers 2. The function of the limiting grooves is to limit the movement of the connecting rod 18 and the pedal 19, preventing them from deviating from the normal working range due to excessive movement during use, and ensuring the relative position stability between the components of the adjustment assembly.

[0032] The two ends of the connecting rod 18 are externally fixedly connected to the adjacent sides of the two lifting chambers 2. When the user steps on the pedal 19, the connecting rod 18 can evenly transmit the force to the two lifting chambers 2, avoiding excessive force on a single lifting chamber 2 and improving the load-bearing capacity and service life of the device. The two sides of the pedal 19 are externally slidably connected to the adjacent sides of the two lifting chambers 2. The adjacent sides of the lifting chambers 2 are provided with sliding tracks or grooves that are adapted to the sides of the pedal 19, allowing the pedal 19 to slide smoothly between the lifting chambers 2. The sliding connection design allows the pedal 19 to be adjusted according to the user's needs, making it convenient for users of different body types to find a comfortable stepping position. The opposite sides of multiple anti-slip mats 11 are fixedly connected to the top inner wall of the toilet 1. When the user sits on the toilet 1, the anti-slip mats 11 can increase the friction between the device and the toilet 1, preventing the user from losing balance due to slipping during toilet use. This provides additional safety, especially for people with mobility impairments, and effectively reduces the risk of falls.

[0033] Multiple anti-slip mats 12 are fixedly connected to the top of the toilet bowl 1 at their adjacent sides. These mats, similar in material and function to anti-slip mats 11, form a coordinated anti-slip system. Multiple clamps 7 are fixedly connected to the top of the toilet bowl 1 at their distal ends, ensuring accurate support during use. Clamps 7 are made of high-strength and resilient material, capable of withstanding pressure from the user. Multiple clamps 8 are fixedly connected to the top of the toilet bowl 1 at their adjacent ends. These clamps 8 and 7 are symmetrically fixed to the top of the toilet bowl 1, forming a wraparound support structure. The clamps 8 are fixed in the same way and with the same material as clamps 7, working in conjunction with clamps 7 to provide support to the user from the outside. This improves safety and comfort during toilet use.

[0034] Multiple retractable columns 9 are fixedly connected at their proximal ends to the inner walls of multiple clamping plates 7 on their distal sides. When clamping plates 7 are subjected to pressure, the retractable columns 9 can retract inward, buffering the external force through internal damping force. Simultaneously, the retraction function of the retractable columns 9 can adaptively adjust according to different devices, providing suitable support force. Multiple springs 10 are externally slidably connected to the inner walls of multiple clamping plates 8 and 7. The presence of springs 10 not only enhances the elastic buffering effect of clamping plates 7 and 8, but also automatically adjusts the clamping force of the clamping plates to a certain extent, improving comfort and safety. A water tank 20 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the toilet 1, storing water for flushing the toilet 1. The water tank 20 is equipped with components such as an inlet valve, a drain valve, and a flush button. Fixed plates 21 are fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the two lifting chambers 2 on their proximal sides. During device operation, the fixed plates 21 can effectively disperse the forces from components such as the lifting rod 3 and the adjusting assembly, improving the structural reliability and service life of the entire device.

[0035] Working principle: The lifting chamber 2 drives the lifting rod 3 to slide up and down, adjusting the height of the connecting plate 4. The connecting plate 4 drives the moving column 5 to slide at its bottom, adjusting the position of the connecting chamber 6. The connecting chamber 6 drives the clamping plates 7 and 8 to slide at their bottom, allowing them to fit against the toilet 1. The elastic structure composed of the retracting column 9 and the spring 10 drives the clamping plates 7 and 8 to move relative to each other, using the anti-slip pads 11 and 12 to clamp the toilet 1. During the clamping process, the elastic deformation of the spring 10 can adapt to toilets of different thicknesses, while the sliding of the clamping plates 7 and 8 can adapt to the edges of the toilet 1 at different angles, thus achieving a stable fixation of toilets 1 of different sizes and angles. This solves the problem of unstable connection between the auxiliary device and the toilet 1, improving the versatility and practicality of the device.

[0036] When the pedal 19 is adjusted, the pedal 19 moves the connecting rod 18, which in turn moves the fixed column 17. The fixed column 17, through the rotating shaft 16, drives the telescopic column 15 to slide within the fixed column 13. Simultaneously, the telescopic column 15 can rotate within the fixed column 13 through the rotating shaft 14. The limiting groove of the lifting chamber 2 restricts the movement trajectory of the connecting rod 18 and the pedal 19, ensuring that they are adjusted in a fixed direction. Under this series of linkages, the pedal 19 can flexibly change its height according to the magnitude and direction of the applied force, thereby achieving flexible height adjustment of the pedal 19 to meet the usage needs of people of different heights and improve the comfort and convenience of using the toilet auxiliary device.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
