Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toilet technology, and in particular to a direct-flush flip-top toilet. Background Technology

[0002] Toilets are an indispensable household item. Nowadays, in order to meet the housing needs of young people, many developers build bathrooms with relatively small areas. After installing a washbasin, toilet, and shower facilities, there is almost no spare space in the bathroom, making people feel that the bathroom is very small and inconvenient. The toilet occupies a considerable amount of space and its presence also gives people a bad visual experience.

[0003] Currently, existing flip toilets typically enable the unfolding and folding of the toilet (for example, according to the authorized announcement number CN221502181U, a smart flip toilet is proposed), meeting basic usage and storage needs and reducing floor space. However, they cannot seal the opening of the toilet seat after use and during the flipping process, which makes it easy for odors inside the toilet to escape into the surrounding environment during the flipping process, adversely affecting indoor air quality and reducing the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the shortcomings of the existing technology, which is that the opening of the toilet seat cannot be sealed after use and during the flipping process, resulting in the easy escape of odors from the toilet into the surrounding environment and causing adverse effects on indoor air quality. Therefore, a direct-flush flipping toilet is proposed.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A direct-flush flip-top toilet includes: The toilet includes a fixed seat and a toilet body. A flush tank is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed seat, and a toilet seat is hinged to the toilet body. The fixed base is equipped with a flipping mechanism for unfolding and storing the toilet body. The toilet seat is equipped with a sealing component for sealing the toilet seat area.

[0006] In one possible design, the flipping mechanism includes the same arc-shaped rack fixedly disposed on the top and bottom walls of the fixed seat. A motor is fixedly disposed inside the rear side of the toilet body. A gear is fixedly disposed at one end of the output shaft of the motor. The gear is adapted to and meshes with the rack for transmission.

[0007] In one possible design, the sealing assembly includes a cavity formed inside the toilet seat. A bottom plate is fixedly mounted on the bottom wall of the cavity, and a top plate is fixedly mounted on the top wall of the cavity. Each of the four corners of the top plate has an arc-shaped groove. A ring is provided between the top plate and the bottom plate. The four corners of the top of the ring have protrusions that slide within the arc-shaped grooves. Each of the four corners of the inner ring has an internal toothed groove. Four sealing plates are rotatably mounted inside the ring between the top plate and the bottom plate. Each of the four sealing plates has a protruding tooth that matches and meshes with the internal toothed groove at one end near the ring. An external tooth is provided on one side of the ring. A second motor is embedded in the toilet seat. A second gear is fixedly mounted on one end of the output shaft of the second motor. The second gear matches and meshes with the external tooth.

[0008] In one possible design, two arc-shaped guide rods are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the interior of the fixed seat. Pulleys are slidably mounted on the front and rear sides of the two guide rods. The same connecting frame is fixedly mounted on both sides of the multiple pulleys on the same side. The two connecting frames are respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the toilet body. The same auxiliary roller is rotatably mounted on both sides of the inner wall of the fixed seat at the lower position.

[0009] In one possible design, both the top and bottom walls of the inner side of the mounting base are fixedly equipped with contact switches, and both contact switches are electrically connected to the motor.

[0010] In one possible design, the flush tank is fixedly provided with an adapter ring plate on the side near the toilet body. The outer diameter of the adapter ring plate is adapted to the inner diameter of the toilet seat. The flush tank and the adapter ring plate have the same flushing port on one side.

[0011] In one possible design, a drain pipe is fixedly connected to the inside of the toilet body, a baffle is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the fixed seat, and a drain outlet is opened inside the baffle on the bottom wall of the fixed seat, the drain outlet being adapted to the drain pipe.

[0012] In this application, when the toilet is first used, in the initial state, the toilet body is in the storage state, and the toilet seat is in contact with the adapter ring plate on one side of the flush tank. When the toilet needs to be used, the motor is started, and the output shaft of the motor drives the gear to rotate. Under the rotation of the gear, the toilet body begins to unfold in the upper fixed seat along the track of the rack. At the same time as unfolding, two arc-shaped guide rods play a guiding role. As the toilet body unfolds, multiple pulleys slide on the front and rear sides of the guide rods, making the toilet body more stable during the unfolding process. At the same time, the auxiliary roller also assists the unfolding action of the toilet body. After the toilet body unfolds, when the connecting bracket contacts the contact switch on the bottom wall of the fixed seat, the contact switch transmits a signal to motor two, which then starts working. The output shaft of motor two drives gear two to rotate. Since gear two matches and meshes with the outer teeth on the outer side of the ring, the ring begins to rotate. The protrusions at the four corners of the top of the ring slide within the arc-shaped grooves at the four corners of the top plate. Simultaneously, the inner tooth grooves at the four corners of the inner ring mesh with the protruding teeth of the four sealing plates near one end of the ring, causing the four sealing plates to rotate and thus open the four sealing plates, allowing the toilet seat area of ​​the toilet body to fully open. With the toilet fully exposed, the user can begin using it. After use, the user restarts motor one, causing its output shaft to rotate in the opposite direction, which in turn drives gear one to rotate in the opposite direction. The toilet body begins to retract into the fixed seat along the rack's trajectory. During the retraction process, the contact switch between the connecting bracket and the bottom wall of the fixed seat disengages. At this time, the output shaft of motor two rotates in the opposite direction, driving gear two to rotate in the opposite direction, which in turn causes the ring to rotate in the opposite direction. The four sealing plates also rotate in the opposite direction, gradually closing and sealing the toilet seat again to prevent odors from escaping. When the toilet body is in contact with the adapter ring, one end of the drain pipe (which is L-shaped or simply Z-shaped, short and large in diameter, allowing water to directly impact and flush waste into the sewer) aligns with the drain outlet. Meanwhile, the connecting bracket contacts the contact switch on the top wall of the fixed seat. This contact switch transmits a signal to motor two, which then starts operating. The output shaft of motor two drives gear two to rotate, causing the ring to rotate and thus rotating the four sealing plates, opening them. The user can then press the flush button, and water from the flush tank flows into the toilet body through the same flush outlet on one side of the flush tank and adapter ring. Waste inside the toilet body is then discharged through the drain pipe, which is fixedly connected inside the toilet body. The discharged waste is then discharged into the external sewage system through the drain outlet.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: This invention utilizes a flipping mechanism to automatically unfold and retract the toilet body within the fixed seat. This not only saves significant space by allowing the toilet to be compactly stored when not in use, reducing its footprint, but also greatly enhances ease of use. Users can easily unfold and retract the toilet with simple operation.

[0014] By setting up a sealing component, this utility model can open the seal when the toilet body is unfolded for use or when it is folded up for flushing. The seal is automatically and tightly sealed during unfolding and folding, effectively preventing odors from the toilet from spreading to the surrounding environment after use and keeping the indoor air fresh.

[0015] This invention, through the design of its drain pipe, is applicable to both siphon-type and direct-flush flip-flop toilets. For direct-flush flip-flop toilets, the unique "L" or simple "Z" shaped structure of the drain pipe, combined with a larger pipe diameter and a shorter path design, allows the water flow to directly impact waste with strong force, quickly and efficiently flushing it into the sewer. This not only improves the sewage discharge speed but also effectively solves the technical problem of traditional direct-flush flip-flop toilets generating significant noise due to the direct water flow, greatly reducing noise interference during use. For siphon-type flip-flop toilets, this drain pipe design also helps to form the siphon effect, enhancing sewage discharge capacity and ensuring that the toilet always maintains a good hygienic condition, creating a quiet and clean environment for users.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0019] In one embodiment Reference Figure 1-5 A toilet, comprising: The fixed seat 1 and the toilet body 3 are connected by a flush tank 2 fixedly installed on the top of the fixed seat 1 (forming an integrated structure), and the toilet seat 3 is provided with a toilet seat 4 by means of hinge, so that the toilet seat 4 can be opened and closed flexibly.

[0020] A flipping mechanism for unfolding and retracting the toilet body 3 is provided inside the fixed base 1. The same arc-shaped rack 7 is fixedly installed on the top and bottom walls of the fixed base 1. A motor 5 is fixedly installed inside the rear side of the toilet body 3. A gear 6 is fixedly installed at one end of the output shaft of the motor 5. The gear 6 is adapted to and meshes with the rack 7. When the toilet body 3 needs to be unfolded, the motor 5 is started. The output shaft of the motor 5 drives the gear 6 to rotate. Due to the meshing action of the gear 6 and the rack 7, the toilet body 3 begins to unfold in the fixed base 1 along the trajectory of the rack 7. When the toilet body 3 needs to be retracted, the output shaft of the motor 5 is simply rotated in the opposite direction, which drives the gear 6 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the toilet body 3 is retracted into the fixed base 1 along the trajectory of the rack 7.

[0021] To ensure the stability of the toilet body 3 during unfolding and retraction, two arc-shaped guide rods 8 are symmetrically fixed on both sides inside the fixed base 1. Pulleys 9 are slidably installed on the front and rear sides of the two guide rods 8. The same connecting frame 10 is fixedly installed on both sides of the multiple pulleys 9 on the same side. The two connecting frames 10 are fixedly connected to the two sides of the toilet body 3 respectively. During the unfolding and retraction of the toilet body 3, the multiple pulleys 9 slide on the front and rear sides of the guide rods 8, playing a guiding role and making the movement of the toilet body 3 more stable. At the same time, the same auxiliary roller 11 is rotatably installed on both sides of the inner wall of the fixed base 1 at the lower position. The auxiliary roller 11 also assists in the unfolding and retraction of the toilet body 3.

[0022] A sealing assembly for sealing the toilet opening of the toilet body 3 is provided inside the toilet seat 4. The sealing assembly includes a cavity inside the toilet seat 4. A bottom plate 13 is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the cavity, and a top plate 14 is fixedly installed on the top wall of the cavity. Arc grooves 1401 are provided at the four corners of the top plate 14. A ring 15 is provided between the top plate 14 and the bottom plate 13. The top four corners of the ring 15 have protrusions that slide within the arc grooves 1401. The four corners of the inner ring of the ring 15 have internal tooth grooves 1501. Four sealing plates 16 are rotatably installed inside the ring 15 between the top plate 14 and the bottom plate 13. Each of the four sealing plates 16 has a protruding tooth 1601 that matches and engages with the internal tooth groove 1501 at one end near the ring 15. An external tooth 1502 is provided on the outer side of the ring 15. A motor 17 is embedded in the barrel mat 4. A gear 1701 is fixedly installed at one end of the output shaft of the motor 17. The gear 1701 is adapted to and meshes with the external gear 1502. When it is necessary to open the sealing assembly, the motor 17 is started. The output shaft of the motor 17 drives the gear 1701 to rotate. Due to the meshing of the gear 1701 and the external gear 1502, the ring 15 begins to rotate. The protrusions at the four corners of the top of the ring 15 slide in the arc grooves 1401 at the four corners of the top plate 14. At the same time, the internal tooth grooves 1501 at the four corners of the inner ring 15 mesh with the protruding teeth 1601 of the four sealing plates 16 near one end of the ring 15, driving the four sealing plates 16 to rotate, thereby opening the four sealing plates 16. When it is necessary to close the sealing assembly, the output shaft of the motor 17 is rotated in the opposite direction, which will drive the four sealing plates 16 to rotate in the opposite direction, gradually closing the assembly.

[0023] Contact switches 12 are fixedly installed on the top and bottom walls of one side of the fixed seat 1. Both contact switches 12 are electrically connected to motor 17. When the toilet body 3 is unfolded for use, the connecting bracket 10 contacts the contact switch 12 on the bottom wall of the fixed seat, causing motor 17 to open the four sealing plates 16, allowing the user to start using the toilet. After the user finishes using the toilet, the toilet body 3 begins to flip and retract. During retraction, the connecting bracket 10 disengages from the contact switch 12 on the bottom wall. At this time, the output shaft of motor 17 rotates in the opposite direction to close the four sealing plates 16, sealing the toilet seat of the toilet body 3 again to prevent odor from escaping. When the toilet seat 4 on the toilet body 3 is in contact with the adapter ring, the connecting bracket 10 contacts the contact switch 12 on the top wall of the fixed seat, causing motor 17 to open the four sealing plates 16. At this time, the flush button can be pressed to flush the inside of the toilet body 3.

[0024] This application can be used in the field of direct-flush flip-top toilet technology, or in other fields applicable to this application.

The outer diameter of the adapter ring plate 18 matches the inner diameter of the toilet seat 4. A common flushing inlet 19 is provided on the same side of the flush tank 2 and the adapter ring plate 18. When flushing is needed, pressing the flush button causes water from the flush tank 2 to flow into the toilet body 3 through the flushing inlet 19. (The flush tank 2 is connected to a water supply pipe, and an inlet valve is installed inside the flush tank 2 to control the flushing.) 2. Water inlet component: When the water level in flush tank 2 is lower than the set value, the inlet valve automatically opens, allowing external water to enter the tank and providing water reserve for flushing. The flush tank 2 is also equipped with a drain valve, which controls the drainage of the flush tank 2. When the flush button is pressed, the drain valve opens, and the water in the flush tank 2 is quickly discharged into the toilet body 3 through the flush port 19 to realize the flushing operation. If the flush port 19 is in a high position, its internal inlet valve can be replaced with a water pump, and the water pump flushes the water in the flush tank 2 through the flush port 19.

[0026] Inside the toilet body 3, a drain pipe 301 is fixedly connected. The drain pipe 301 is L-shaped or simply Z-shaped. The pipe is short and has a large diameter, so that the water flow can directly impact the sewage and flush it into the sewer. A baffle is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the fixed seat 1. A drain outlet 20 is opened inside the baffle on the bottom wall of the fixed seat 1. The drain outlet 20 is adapted to the drain pipe 301. The sewage discharged from the drain pipe 301 is discharged into the external sewage system through the drain outlet 20.
