Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an advertising display device, and more particularly to an advertising screen device for a splash-proof urinal in a men's toilet. Background Technology

[0002] In public restrooms, advertising screens are mostly wall-mounted, meaning they are exposed and directly attached to the wall like a television screen, with the screen facing forward for easy display. In men's restrooms, they are often installed on the wall above the urinals. This leads to the following problems: Wall-mounted advertising screens are generally large, which may be too close to people standing in front of the urinals. This may cause people to subconsciously move away from the screen, increasing the distance between themselves and the urinal. This can easily cause urine to splash outside the urinal, worsening the hygiene around it and increasing the difficulty and intensity of sanitation maintenance. In addition, the environment in public restrooms is harsh and humid, and the advertising screens exposed to this environment are easily contaminated, damp, and damaged. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a splash-proof advertising screen device for men's urinals that effectively improves the hygiene of urinals and surrounding areas, prevents advertising screens from getting damp and contaminated, and promotes the installation and use of advertising screens in public restrooms, in order to address the shortcomings of the existing technology.

[0004] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following means:

[0005] An anti-drip advertising screen device for urinals in men's restrooms includes an advertising screen. Its key structural features include an opaque housing, a transparent cover, a support plate, and a sensor switch circuit. The housing is a five-sided structure with an open top, including a rear side, a bottom side, left and right sides, and a front side mounted against a wall. The bottom side is fixedly connected to the rear side. One end of the support plate is fixed to the front end of the bottom side and close to the front side. This support plate is either perpendicular to the bottom side or forms a slope with an angle greater than 90° to the bottom side. One side of the advertising screen is mounted on the support plate, with the display surface facing the opening of the housing. The transparent cover is adapted to the shape of the opening and covers the opening to form a viewing window. The sensor of the sensor switch circuit is installed on the outside of the front side of the housing, and the trigger end of the sensor is connected to the switch circuit of the advertising screen. The housing is mounted on the wall above the urinal.

[0006] Because the advertising screen is embedded inside the box, only the transparent cover provides a viewing window that people can peer into to look at. The opaque box presents a viewing angle restriction structure, blocking the four sides of the advertising screen, making the screen invisible from the outside within a certain angle range. This viewing angle restriction structure restricts users to clearly see the advertising content only when the distance is less than a preset value and the forward tilt angle exceeds a predetermined angle, thereby guiding users to approach and naturally tilt forward to the urinal. In this way, when a person approaches the urinal in the men's restroom, the sensor on the advertising screen will detect and trigger the switching circuit to turn on the advertising screen, causing it to light up and start playing advertising content. At this time, the lit advertising screen and the playing sound will further attract people to approach the urinal. Since people can only see the advertising screen inside the box through the transparent cover, and the advertising screen inside the box is relatively small, the advertising screen device can attract people to stay close to the urinal when using the restroom, effectively reducing urine splashing outside the urinal, improving the hygiene around the urinal, and reducing the difficulty and intensity of hygiene maintenance. The advertising screen located inside the box does not need to be exposed and can be well protected inside the box, avoiding moisture and pollution, and reducing the maintenance cost of the advertising screen installation.

[0007] This utility model can be further specified as follows:

[0008] The support plate is a slide rail, and a slot with a slider is adapted to the slide rail. The advertising screen is fixedly installed in the slot, and a locking device is provided on one side of the slide rail.

[0009] In this way, the height of the advertising screen in the box can be adjusted by sliding the slider up and down in the slide rail. Since the specifications of urinals in men's restrooms are different, the height of the installation position is also different. In order to achieve a better visual effect, it is necessary to adjust the position of the advertising screen in the box according to the different specifications of the urinals: after pushing the slot to the designated position, the slot with the advertising screen is fixed by the locking device.

[0010] The locking device can be a pin, in which case multiple through holes are provided on one side of the slide rail, and grooves are provided on the corresponding positions on the slider, and the pin is inserted into the through holes and the grooves behind them.

[0011] During operation, after pushing the card slot to the designated position, the pin is inserted into the corresponding through hole, and the tail end is inserted into the groove on the slider, thereby fixing the position of the card slot and the advertising screen.

[0012] The locking device can also be a bolt. In this case, a long through groove is provided on one side of the slide rail. The width of the long through groove is adapted to the diameter of the bolt shank and is smaller than the diameter of the bolt head. A concave threaded hole adapted to the thread of the bolt shank is provided at the corresponding position on the slider. When the bolt shank passes through the long through groove and is screwed into the concave threaded hole on the slider, the bolt head is just stuck on the outer side of the long through groove.

[0013] During operation, after pushing the card slot to the designated position, screw the bolt into the concave threaded hole on the slider until the head of the bolt is stuck on the outer side of the long through slot, thereby fixing the position of the card slot and the advertising screen.

[0014] This utility model can be further specified as follows:

[0015] It also includes a card slot in which the advertising screen is fixedly installed. The card slot is connected to the support plate through a hinge device. At this time, the card slot can drive the advertising screen to rotate with the hinge device as the center.

[0016] This allows for the adjustment of the angle between the advertising screen and the support plate, thus accommodating advertising devices in different installation positions and setting the optimal viewing distance for people. When the support plate is a slide rail, the hinge device is installed between the slot and the slider.

[0017] The fixed shaft and rotating shaft in the hinge device are respectively connected to the support plate and the slot. The fixed shaft and rotating shaft are either tightly fitted or fixed with pins.

[0018] When the fixed shaft and the rotating shaft are fitted with an overtight fit, appropriate force must be applied to the slot (or advertising screen) to achieve the required angle. Finally, the tightness of the overtight fit will maintain the angle between the slot and the support plate. When a pin is used for fixing, the pin should be removed before adjustment. After the angle of the slot is adjusted, it can be fixed with the pin.

[0019] The box is divided into two parts: the fixed part is an L-shaped structure consisting of the rear side and bottom surface that are mounted against the wall, and the movable part is a U-shaped structure consisting of the left and right sides and the front side. The U-shaped structure and the L-shaped structure are connected by snap-fit.

[0020] In order to enable adjustment, inspection and maintenance of the advertising screen and its related circuits inside the box, the movable part of the box body described in this utility model is a detachable component, which is connected to the fixed part installed on the wall by a snap fastener and can be detached; the snap fastener device is either a convex-concave snap fastener, that is, one side of the connection is provided with multiple convex snaps, and the other side is provided with multiple concave holes or grooves, which can be fastened or peeled off by applying force; the snap fastener device can also be a hook-and-loop snap fastener, that is, the contact points of the two sides of the connection are provided with staggered convex snaps or protrusions, and after the two sides are connected, the convex snaps of one side crawl over the convex snaps of the other side, thereby forming a hook-and-loop state for fixation.

[0021] In summary, this utility model provides an anti-splashing advertising screen device for men's toilet urinals. The advertising screen is installed in a box with only an upper viewing window and on the wall above the urinal. On the one hand, it effectively reduces urine splashing outside the urinal, improves the hygiene around the urinal, and reduces the difficulty and intensity of hygiene maintenance. On the other hand, the advertising screen avoids moisture and pollution, reducing the maintenance cost of the advertising screen. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0027] Example

[0028] See attached document Figure 1 , 2A splash-proof advertising screen device for urinals in men's restrooms includes an advertising screen 2, an opaque housing 1, a transparent cover 3, a support plate 4, and a sensor switch circuit 6. The housing is a five-sided structure with an open top, including a rear side, a bottom side, left and right sides, and a front side for wall mounting. The bottom side is fixedly connected to the rear side. One end of the support plate 4 is fixed to the front end of the bottom side and close to the front side. The support plate 4 forms a slope with an angle greater than 90° with the bottom side (it can also be installed perpendicular to the bottom side; the sloped installation provides better support for the advertising screen). The support plate 4 is a slide rail, which can be double-rail or multi-rail. Adapted to the slide rail is a slot 5 with a slider, which allows the slider to move the slot up and down within the slide rail. One end of the advertising screen is fixedly installed in the slot 5, and a locking device is provided on one side of the slide rail. The locking device is a pin. Multiple through holes are provided on one side of the slide rail, and corresponding grooves are provided on the slider. The pin is inserted into the through holes and the grooves behind them. During operation, after pushing the slot to the designated position, the pin inserts into the corresponding through hole, and its tail end inserts into the groove on the slider, thereby fixing the position of the slot and the advertising screen. Thus, the advertising screen can be adjusted in height within the urinal by the slider sliding up and down in the slide rail to accommodate urinals of different sizes. In this embodiment, the support plate uses a slide rail for adjusting the advertising screen. In actual use, a slide rail installation is also possible; instead, the support plate and advertising screen can be fixedly installed. This installation method allows for pre-assembly during factory assembly.

[0029] Due to the tilt of the support plate 4, the display surface of the advertising screen, which is perpendicular to the support plate, faces the opening of the box at a certain angle. The transparent cover is adapted to the shape of the box opening and covers the box opening to form a viewing window. The sensing device 6 of the induction switch circuit is installed on the outside of the front side of the box, and the trigger end of the sensing device is connected to the switching circuit of the advertising screen. The box is installed on the wall close to the urinal of the men's toilet. The advertising screen is also connected to a small speaker 7 installed on the upper side or top of the box to improve the sound quality and volume.

[0030] The casing is made of moisture-proof and corrosion-resistant ABS plastic, suitable for humid environments, ensuring long-term use of the equipment. A 7-inch LCD screen is recommended for the advertising screen to ensure display clarity and adapt to the installation requirements of small spaces. The sensing device 6 of the inductive switch circuit uses an infrared sensor, which can automatically emit soft light or a prompt sound when a user approaches to attract their attention and ensure that the advertising screen device does not waste energy when no user is nearby. The casing structure and viewing window orientation are designed so that users must lean forward to fully view the content. This design effectively changes the user's standing posture, guiding them to lean forward naturally, increasing the tilt angle R2, reducing the distance from the wall H2, reducing urine splashing, and improving hygiene.

[0031] The parts of this utility model not described are the same as those in the prior art.

[0032] Best practice

[0033] See attached document Figure 2-4 The support plate 4 is a frame-type gantry structure. The inner sides of both vertical support rods are constructed of slide rails and are fixedly installed perpendicular to the bottom surface of the box. The slot 5 is connected to the slider via a hinge device. At this time, the lower side length of the slot 5 is consistent with the advertising screen to achieve better support and reliance on the advertising screen. The advertising screen can be rotated around the hinge device as the center. The slot 5 and support plate 4 are connected by a slide groove embedded in the slide rail. The fixed shaft and rotating shaft in the hinge device are respectively connected to the slider and the slot 5. The fixed shaft and rotating shaft are in a tight fit, requiring appropriate force to be applied to the slot (or advertising screen) to achieve the desired angle position. Finally, the tightness of the tight fit maintains the angle between the slot and the support plate.

[0034] A locking device 9, which is a bolt, is provided between the slide rail and the slider. A long slot is provided on one side of the slide rail, the width of which matches the diameter of the bolt shank and is smaller than the diameter of the bolt head. A corresponding concave threaded hole, matching the thread of the bolt shank, is provided on the slider. When the bolt shank passes through the long slot and is screwed into the concave threaded hole on the slider, the bolt head is precisely engaged on the outer surface of the long slot. During operation, after pushing the slot to the designated position, the bolt is screwed into the concave threaded hole on the slider until the bolt head is engaged on the outer surface of the long slot, thus fixing the position of the slot and the advertising screen.

[0035] The box body is divided into two parts. The fixed part 11 is an L-shaped structure consisting of the rear side and the bottom side, which are mounted against the wall. The rear side is fixed to the wall by screws 8. The movable part 12 is a U-shaped structure consisting of the left and right sides and the front side. The U-shaped structure and the L-shaped structure are connected by snap-fit. In other words, the movable part of the box body is a detachable component. It is connected to the fixed part mounted on the wall by snap-fit ​​and can be detached. The snap-fit ​​device is a convex-concave snap-fit ​​structure, that is, one side of the connection has multiple protruding snaps, and the other side has multiple concave holes or grooves, which can be fastened or detached by applying force.

[0036] In this way, in addition to adjusting the height of the advertising screen along the support plate that serves as a sliding rail, its tilt angle can also be adjusted via a hinge mechanism (as shown in the attached diagram). Figure 3 (As shown, the screen position is adjusted to either screen position 1 or screen position 2). Thus, the advertising display installation structure inside the box has depth and tilt angle adjustment functions, which can be adapted to the installation height of different public toilet urinals. This ensures that users always need to approach and naturally tilt forward to clearly view the advertising content during use, thereby maintaining a consistent viewing guidance effect and splash-proof behavior intervention capability in different environments.

[0037] The purpose of this invention is to provide a splash-proof advertising screen structure based on user psychology and behavioral mechanisms. By embedding the advertising screen within a box, the opaque box creates a viewing angle limitation structure, obscuring the screen's four sides. Combined with visual and auditory elements, this design attracts users and encourages them to view the screen. However, due to the physical limitations of the box's viewing angle, users must approach the urinal and lean forward naturally to fully view the screen content. The innovative feature of this patent lies in its design that interacts with human behavior by stimulating curiosity and guiding the user's gaze: to clearly see the advertising screen content, users unconsciously approach the urinal and lean slightly forward. This design cleverly combines the dual goals of guiding user behavior and enhancing advertising effectiveness, achieving both splash-proof hygiene and increased advertising reach. Therefore, the advertising screen device described in this invention can also be applied to other situations where users are attracted to approach and view the screen.
