Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of toilet appliances, and in particular relates to a toilet unclogging device. Background Technology
[0002] A toilet plunger is a tool used to solve toilet clogs. Its core principle is to physically remove the blockage to restore the toilet's normal drainage function. Among the existing types of plungers, there is a type that uses air pressure to unclog the toilet, commonly known as a "one-shot plunger."
[0003] However, existing toilet plungers that use air pressure to unclog toilets often cause wastewater to splash during the unclogging process because the toilet opening lacks a necessary shielding structure. This not only contaminates the operator's body but also pollutes the surrounding ground. This problem affects both the hygiene of the device and the user experience.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new toilet plunger to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the technical problem that existing toilet plungers cause sewage to splash onto the operator and the surrounding ground during the unblocking process due to the lack of a shield around the toilet opening, resulting in unhygienic use and a poor user experience, this utility model provides a toilet plunger.
[0006] This utility model is implemented as follows: a toilet plunger includes: a toilet plunger body and a water-blocking membrane, wherein the water-blocking membrane is provided with a perforation located on the outside of the toilet plunger body; a plastic soft sleeve fixedly connected to the perforation, the plastic soft sleeve being used to block the gap between the toilet plunger body and the perforation; and a tightening mechanism assembled on the plastic soft sleeve for preventing sewage splashing.
[0007] Preferably, the tightening mechanism includes: an elastic cord disposed within the plastic sleeve, a housing slidably mounted on the elastic cord, and a fixing block fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the housing; a spring fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the housing, a mouth-shaped plate fixedly mounted on the spring, and a clamping block for clamping the elastic cord fixedly mounted on the mouth-shaped plate; and a pressure block fixedly mounted on the mouth-shaped plate.
[0008] Preferably, the toilet plunger further includes a suspension mechanism installed on the toilet plunger body, the suspension mechanism being used to hang the toilet plunger body around a person's neck.
[0009] Preferably, the suspension mechanism includes: a first connecting strap and a second connecting strap fixedly installed on the toilet plunger body, wherein a fixing ring is fixedly installed on the first connecting strap; and a hook and loop side and a hook and loop side fixedly installed on the second connecting strap.
[0010] Preferably, a limiting block is fixedly installed on the mouth-shaped plate, and the limiting block is slidably connected to the limiting groove on the housing. The limiting block is used to limit the shaking of the mouth-shaped plate.
[0011] Preferably, both the fixing block and the locking block are fixedly equipped with fixing teeth, which are triangular in shape and used to fix the elastic rope.
[0012] Preferably, the plastic sleeve is ring-shaped and is made of PVC material.
[0013] Compared with related technologies, the toilet plunger provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] This solution utilizes a water-blocking membrane to shield the toilet bowl opening. A plastic sleeve prevents gaps between the drain cleaner and the perforations in the membrane when the drain cleaner is passed through them. A tightening mechanism further enhances the fit between the plastic sleeve and the drain cleaner, effectively preventing wastewater splashing. Thus, during drain cleaning, the water-blocking membrane, plastic sleeve, and tightening mechanism work together to prevent wastewater from splashing out. This solves the technical problem of existing drain cleaners where unobstructed toilet openings cause wastewater to splash onto the user and surrounding area, resulting in unhygienic use and a poor user experience.

[0020] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs; the terminology used herein in the specification of the application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the application; the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the specification and the foregoing drawings of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification or the foregoing drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order.
[0021] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
[0022] This utility model embodiment provides a toilet plunger, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the toilet plunger includes: a toilet plunger body 3 and a water-blocking membrane 1, wherein the water-blocking membrane 1 is provided with a perforation 2, the perforation 2 being located on the outside of the toilet plunger body 3; a plastic soft sleeve 4 fixedly connected to the perforation 2, the plastic soft sleeve 4 being used to block the gap between the toilet plunger body 3 and the perforation 2; and a tightening mechanism assembled on the plastic soft sleeve 4 for preventing sewage splashing.
[0023] In this solution, during use, the water-blocking membrane 1 is placed over the toilet bowl opening, and then the toilet seat is placed on top of the membrane 1. By pressing down on the toilet seat, the water-blocking membrane 1 can be stably placed over the toilet bowl opening. Next, the toilet plunger body 3 is inserted through the perforation 2 on the water-blocking membrane 1. At this time, the plastic sleeve 4, which is fixedly connected to the perforation 2, will wrap around the toilet plunger body 3, thereby blocking the gap between the toilet plunger body 3 and the perforation 2 and preventing sewage from splashing out. At the same time, the tightening mechanism mounted on the plastic sleeve 4 will tighten the plastic sleeve 4, further enhancing the fit between the plastic sleeve 4 and the toilet plunger body 3, so as to better prevent sewage from splashing out. Then, the toilet plunger body 3 is operated to perform the unblocking work. During the unblocking process, the water-blocking membrane 1, the plastic sleeve 4, and the tightening mechanism work together to effectively prevent sewage from splashing out.
[0024] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the tightening mechanism includes: an elastic cord 5 disposed within the plastic soft sleeve 4, a housing 6 slidably mounted on the elastic cord 5, and a fixing block 7 fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the housing 6; a spring 8 fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the housing 6, a mouth-shaped plate 9 fixedly mounted on the spring 8, and a clamping block 10 for clamping the elastic cord 5 fixedly mounted on the mouth-shaped plate 9; and a pressure block 12 fixedly mounted on the mouth-shaped plate 9.
[0025] In this embodiment, the tightening mechanism is used to prevent sewage splashing. When the toilet plunger body 3 passes through the perforation 2 on the water-blocking membrane 1, the plastic soft sleeve 4 will wrap around the toilet plunger body 3. Then, the tightening mechanism is used. When the tightening mechanism is in use, the pressure block 12 is pressed first, causing the pressure block 12 to push the orifice plate 9 to move inside the housing 6. The orifice plate 9 will squeeze the spring 8 while driving the locking block 10 away from the fixing block 7, thereby releasing the fixation of the tension rope 5. Then, the housing 6 can slide on the tension rope 5, so that the housing 6 is tightly attached to the plastic sleeve 4. Apply the plastic sleeve 4 and pull the elastic cord 5 to tighten it so that the plastic sleeve 4 fits tightly against the toilet plunger body 3. After tightening, release the pressure block 12. The spring 8 will reset the mouth-shaped plate 9, the locking block 10 and the pressure block 12 through elasticity, so that the locking block 10 can press the elastic cord 5 tightly against the fixing block 7. This can further enhance the fit between the plastic sleeve 4 and the toilet plunger body 3 to better prevent sewage splashing. Then the toilet plunger body 3 can be operated to unclog the toilet.
[0026] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the toilet plunger further includes a suspension mechanism installed on the toilet plunger body 3, the suspension mechanism being used to hang the toilet plunger body 3 around a person's neck.
[0027] In this embodiment, the toilet plunger body 3 can be hung around a person's neck by the suspension mechanism. This way, when operating the tightening mechanism, the person does not need to hold the toilet plunger body 3. In contrast, traditional toilet plungers cannot be hung around a person's neck, so when operating the tightening mechanism, the plunger body 3 loses support and tilts, which affects the coverage of the water-blocking membrane 1 and requires two people to solve the problem. With the suspension mechanism, no two people are needed and a single person can operate it.
[0028] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the suspension mechanism includes: a first connecting strap 13 and a second connecting strap 15 fixedly installed on the toilet drain cleaner body 3, wherein a fixing ring 14 is fixedly installed on the first connecting strap 13; and a Velcro barbed surface 16 and a Velcro napped surface 17 fixedly installed on the second connecting strap 15.
[0029] In this embodiment, when using the suspension mechanism, the second connecting strap 15 is first passed through the fixing ring 14 on the first connecting strap 13, and then the position of the second connecting strap 15 on the fixing ring 14 is adjusted. Then, the hook and loop sides 16 and 17 of the Velcro are attached to each other, so that the first connecting strap 13 and the second connecting strap 15 can be connected together to form a loop. This loop can be adjusted according to the needs of different people. Then, the loop can be put around the neck, so that the toilet plunger body 3 can be suspended around the neck of the person, so that the person does not need to hold the toilet plunger body 3 by hand when operating the tightening mechanism.
[0030] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a limiting block 18 is fixedly installed on the mouth-shaped plate 9, and the limiting block 18 is slidably connected to the limiting groove 19 on the housing 6. The limiting block 18 is used to limit the shaking of the mouth-shaped plate 9.
[0031] In this embodiment, the use of the limiting block 18 and the limiting groove 19 together can prevent the mouth plate 9 from shaking excessively during movement. When the mouth plate 9 moves inside the housing 6, the limiting block 18 connected to the mouth plate 9 will slide on the limiting groove 19 at the same time.
[0032] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, fixing teeth 11 are fixedly installed on both the fixing block 7 and the locking block 10. The fixing teeth 11 are triangular and are used to fix the elastic rope 5.
[0033] In this embodiment, the fixing teeth 11 with triangular structure can enhance the clamping effect of the fixing block 7 and the locking block 10 on the elastic rope 5 to prevent loosening.
[0034] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the plastic soft sleeve is configured as a ring, and the plastic soft sleeve is made of PVC material.
[0035] In this embodiment, the PVC plastic sleeve does not absorb water when unclogging the toilet, making it easy for people to clean up the stuck dirt after use.
[0036] In summary, compared with related technologies, this solution, through the use of the water-blocking membrane 1, can cover the toilet opening. The use of the plastic sleeve 4 can block the gap between the toilet plunger body 3 and the perforation 2 when the toilet plunger body 3 is passed through the perforation 2 on the water-blocking membrane 1. The use of the tightening mechanism can tighten the plastic sleeve 4, further enhancing the fit between the plastic sleeve 4 and the toilet plunger body 3, thus better preventing sewage splashing. Therefore, when operating the toilet plunger body 3 for unblocking, the water-blocking membrane 1, the plastic sleeve 4, and the tightening mechanism work together to effectively prevent sewage splashing. This solves the technical problem of existing toilet plungers where, during unblocking, sewage splashes onto the operator's body and the surrounding ground due to the lack of a barrier at the toilet opening, resulting in unhygienic use and a poor user experience.
