[0041] Figure 1 This is a schematic structural diagram of a toilet according to one embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 1 As shown, and refer to Figures 2 to 8 This utility model embodiment provides a toilet, which includes a bowl 100 and a water delivery component 200. The bowl 100 has a mounting hole 110 on its peripheral wall. The bowl 100 is made of metal. The water delivery component 200 defines a communicating cavity with an opening 201. The water delivery component 200 is located on the outside of the bowl 100, and the opening 201 of the communicating cavity is located at the mounting hole 110, so that the communicating cavity communicates with the bowl 100 through the opening 201. A water pipe communicating with the communicating cavity is installed on the water delivery component 200. The water delivery component 200 is made of metal.

[0042] A water pipe is installed on the water delivery component 200. Water flows through the pipe into the connecting cavity, then through the opening 201 and onto the toilet bowl 100, flushing the inner side of the toilet bowl 100's perimeter wall. Both the toilet bowl 100 and the water delivery component 200 are made of metal, and the traditional one-piece toilet bowl 100 has been changed to a separate manufacturing process. This avoids the resource waste in the ceramic firing process, facilitates recycling, and allows for individual repair of either the toilet bowl 100 or the water delivery component 200 if damaged, without the need for complete scrapping or replacement.

[0043] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 8As shown, the mounting hole 110 has a first hole surface 111. The water supply component 200 has a first sidewall 210 for defining an opening 201 and a communicating cavity. One end face of the first sidewall 210 is a first end face 211, which contacts the first hole surface 111. The inner surface of the first sidewall 210 is smoothly connected to the inner surface of the peripheral wall of the toilet bowl 100.

[0044] The smooth connection between the inner surface of the first sidewall 210 and the inner surface of the peripheral wall of the toilet bowl 100 allows water to flow out along the inner surface of the peripheral wall of the toilet bowl 100 under the guidance of the first sidewall 210, which is beneficial for the water flow to flush away dirt from the peripheral wall.

[0045] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the connection between the first end face 211 and the inner surface of the first side wall 210 is the first edge line 212, which is a straight line. The connection between the first hole face 111 and the inner surface of the peripheral wall of the toilet bowl 100 is the second edge line 115, which is also a straight line. The cross-section of the first side wall 210 at any position on the first edge line 212 is the same as the cross-section of the inner surface of the peripheral wall of the toilet bowl 100 at the corresponding position on the second edge line 115. This arrangement allows water to flow out along the cross-section of the first edge line 212 under the guidance of the first side wall 210, and is coplanar with the cross-section on the second edge line 115, which is more conducive to the water flow flushing away dirt from the peripheral wall.

[0046] Of course, in other embodiments, the first edge line can be a concave arc, and the second edge line can be a concave arc.

[0047] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 4 to 8 As shown, a first baffle strip 310 is provided on the outer surface of the first sidewall 210, so that the first end face 211 and the inner side face of the first baffle strip 310 form a step. The inner side face of the first baffle strip 310 contacts the outer surface of the peripheral wall. The water supply component 200 also has a second sidewall 220 disposed opposite to the first sidewall 210. The second sidewall 220 is used to define the opening 201 and the communicating cavity. The mounting hole 110 also has a second hole surface 112. One end of the outer surface of the second sidewall 220 adjacent to the opening 201 contacts the second hole surface 112. A second baffle strip 320 is provided on the outer surface of the second sidewall 220, and the second baffle strip 320 is disposed adjacent to the opening 201. A first limiting groove 530 is provided on the outer surface of the peripheral wall, and the second baffle strip 320 is located in the first limiting groove 530.

[0048] The arrangement of the first baffle strip 310 and the second baffle strip 320 helps to limit the depth of the water delivery component 200 inserted into the mounting hole 110. Preferably, the inner surface of the first side wall 210 and the end face of the second side wall 220 inserted into the mounting hole 110 do not exceed the inner surface of the toilet bowl 100, that is, they do not protrude into the interior of the toilet bowl 100. This arrangement does not affect the appearance of the toilet and does not create a protrusion inside the toilet bowl 100 that could trap dirt and grime.

[0049] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 4 to 8 As shown, a first limiting strip 510 is provided on the outer surface of the peripheral wall. The first limiting strip 510 abuts against the first retaining strip 310. The first limiting strip 510 restricts the movement of the water supply component 200 towards the first limiting strip 510 during installation, facilitating the installation of the water supply component 200. When installing the water supply component 200, the first retaining strip 310 is pressed against the first limiting strip 510, and then force is applied to the water supply component towards the toilet bowl 100, allowing the water supply component 200 to be installed into the mounting hole 110. The first limiting strip 510 also enhances the strength of the first hole surface 111, acting as a reinforcing rib.

[0050] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 7 As shown, protrusions are provided on the outer surface of the peripheral wall, and limiting grooves are formed on the protrusions. The protrusions act as reinforcing ribs and can also increase the local thickness of the peripheral wall, preventing the limiting groove from being too deep and affecting the strength of the second hole surface 112.

[0051] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 4 to 8 As shown, the mounting hole 110 also has a third hole surface 113, which is connected to the upper edge of the first hole surface 111 and the upper edge of the second hole surface 112. The water supply component 200 also has a third sidewall 230 and a fourth sidewall 240. The third sidewall 230 is connected to the upper edge of the first sidewall 210 and the upper edge of the second sidewall 220, and the fourth sidewall 240 is connected to the lower edge of the first sidewall 210 and the lower edge of the second sidewall 220. One end of the outer surface of the third sidewall adjacent to the opening contacts the third hole surface. The peripheral wall includes an upper peripheral wall 121, a connecting wall 122, and a lower peripheral wall 123. The third hole surface 113 is disposed on the upper peripheral wall 121, and the first hole surface 111 and the second hole surface 112 are disposed on the upper peripheral wall 121 and extend downward through the connecting wall 122. One end face of the fourth sidewall is the second end face. The fourth sidewall 240 is inserted between the first hole face 111 and the second hole face 112, and the second end face is in contact with the connecting wall 122.

[0052] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3As shown, the lower peripheral wall 123 is funnel-shaped with its large opening facing upwards. The upper peripheral wall 121 is cylindrical and is located outside the upward opening of the lower peripheral wall 123. The connecting wall 122 connects the upward opening of the lower peripheral wall 123 and the lower edge of the upper peripheral wall 121.

[0053] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 4 to 8 As shown, a third edge strip 330 is provided on the outer surface of the third sidewall 230, the third edge strip is positioned near the opening, and the third edge strip 330 contacts the outer surface of the peripheral wall. A fourth edge strip 340 is provided on the outer surface of the fourth sidewall 240, so that a step is formed between the front end face of the fourth sidewall 240 and the inner surface of the fourth edge strip 340. A second limiting groove 540 is provided on the outer surface of the connecting wall, and the fourth edge strip 340 is located within the second limiting groove 540.

[0054] The third and fourth side rails 330 and 340 are also designed to limit the depth of the water supply component 200 inserted into the mounting hole 110. Preferably, the end face of the third side wall 230 inserted into the mounting hole 110 and the inner surface of the fourth side wall 240 do not extend beyond the inner surface of the toilet bowl 100, that is, they do not protrude into the interior of the toilet bowl 100. This design does not affect the appearance of the toilet and does not create a protrusion inside the toilet bowl 100 that could trap dirt and grime.

[0055] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 4 to 8 As shown, a second limiting strip 520 is provided on the outer surface of the peripheral wall. The second limiting strip 520 abuts against the third retaining strip 330. The setting of the second limiting strip 520 can restrict the movement of the water supply component 200 towards the second limiting strip 520 when installing the water supply component 200, that is, restrict the upward movement of the second limiting strip 520, so as to facilitate the installation of the water supply component 200 into place. When installing the water supply component 200, the first retaining strip 310 abuts against the first limiting strip 510, the third retaining strip 330 abuts against the second limiting strip 520, and then force is applied to the water supply component towards the toilet bowl 100, so that the water supply component 200 can be installed into the mounting hole 110. Of course, the first limiting strip 510 can also improve the strength of the first hole surface 111, and act as a reinforcing rib.

[0056] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the water delivery component 200 also has a rear sidewall 250, which is connected to the first sidewall 210, the second sidewall 220, the third sidewall 230, and the fourth sidewall 240. A water pipe is installed on the rear sidewall 250.

[0057] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, lugs 400 are provided on the third side wall 230 and the fourth baffle strip 340 of the water supply component 200, and through holes are provided on the lugs 400. Multiple bosses 130 are provided on the outer wall of the toilet bowl 100, and threaded holes are provided on the bosses 130, with the threaded holes corresponding to the through holes.

[0058] Multiple bosses 130 correspond to multiple lugs 400, such that the threaded holes on the bosses 130 correspond to the through holes on the lugs 400. By passing screws through the through holes and screwing them into the threaded holes, the water supply component 200 can be detachably installed on the toilet bowl 100.

[0059] Therefore, those skilled in the art should recognize that although many exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications conforming to the principles of the present invention can be directly determined or derived from the disclosure of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
