Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] A new type of metal toilet is currently on the market. This metal toilet includes a base, which comprises a base plate, a bowl, and a ring plate. The base plate has a seat hole, and a downward-extending flange runs along the seat hole. The bowl has an upward-opening flushing chamber and a water inlet. The upper edge of the bowl abuts against the lower wall of the base plate, with the opening located outside the flange. The ring plate is positioned between the flange and the inner wall of the bowl; its inner wall connects to the flange, and its outer wall is spaced apart from the inner wall of the bowl. A water outlet channel is defined between the base plate, flange, bowl, and ring plate, and this channel communicates with the water inlet. Water enters the water outlet channel defined by the base plate, flange, bowl, and ring plate through the water inlet, flows circumferentially within the channel, and exits through the gap, flowing towards the inner wall of the bowl to flush away dirt and debris. However, due to processing and installation errors in the base plate, toilet bowl, and annular plate, uneven spacing may occur between the inner wall of the annular plate and the inner wall of the toilet bowl during the base installation process. The spacing may be large on one side and small on the other, resulting in uneven water flow and poor flushing effect on the inner wall of the toilet bowl, thus affecting the user's experience.

[0042] 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 11This utility model embodiment provides a toilet 10, including a base plate 100, a bowl 300, and an annular plate 400. The base plate 100 has a seat hole 101, and a downwardly extending flange 200 is provided along the circumferential edge of the seat hole 101. A plurality of first protrusions 110 are provided on the lower wall surface of the base plate 100, and positioning grooves 111 are formed on the lower surface of the plurality of first protrusions 110. The bowl 300 defines a flushing cavity 302 with an upward opening. The upper edge of the bowl 300 abuts against the lower wall surface of the base plate 100, and the opening is located outside the flange 200. A plurality of second protrusions 310 are provided on the outer wall of the bowl 300, and one second protrusion 310 is inserted into a corresponding positioning groove 111. A water inlet 301 is provided on the bowl 300. An annular plate 400 is disposed between the flange 200 and the inner wall of the toilet bowl 300, and a plurality of third protrusions 410 are provided along the circumferential direction of the outer side wall of the annular plate 400. The inner side wall of the annular plate 400 is connected to the flange 200, and the third protrusions 410 abut against the inner wall surface of the toilet bowl 300. A water outlet channel is defined between the base plate 100, the flange 200, the toilet bowl 300, and the annular plate 400, and the water outlet channel communicates with the water inlet 301.

[0043] Water enters the water channel defined by the base plate 100, flange 200, toilet bowl 300, and annular plate 400 through the inlet 301, and flows circumferentially within the water channel. Inserting the second protrusion 310 into the positioning groove 111 on the first protrusion 110 ensures accurate installation of the toilet bowl 300 and the base plate 100, preventing significant installation errors that could affect the spacing between the annular plate and the inner wall of the toilet bowl. Furthermore, because multiple third protrusions 410 are circumferentially arranged on the outer wall of the annular plate 400, these third protrusions 410 abut against the inner wall of the toilet bowl 300, ensuring multiple uniformly wide gaps are formed between the outer wall of the annular plate 400 and the inner wall of the toilet bowl 300. As water flows within the water channel, it flows through these gaps to the inner wall of the toilet bowl 300, flushing away dirt and debris. By using the dual positioning settings of positioning groove 111 and third protrusion 410, the gap between the annular plate 400 and the inner wall of the toilet bowl 300, which is wider on one side and narrower on the other, can be avoided in the prior art. In severe cases, there may even be no gap on one side and a large gap on the other side, resulting in uneven water flow to the inner wall of the toilet bowl 300 and flushing the inner wall, which affects the flushing effect on the waste.

[0044] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, multiple third protrusions 410 are evenly distributed circumferentially along the outer side wall of the annular plate 400.

[0046] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, the annular plate 400 is horizontally arranged. A first threaded hole 211 is provided on the lower surface of each reinforcing column. A first mounting through hole 401 is provided on the annular plate 400, and one first mounting through hole 401 corresponds to one first threaded hole 211.

[0047] The screw passes through the first mounting through hole 401 from bottom to top and screws into a first threaded hole 211, thereby mounting the annular plate 400 together with the flange 200.

[0048] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, a groove is formed on the inner wall of the annular plate 400, and the lower end of the flange 200 is inserted into the groove. In these embodiments, inserting the lower end of the flange 200 into the groove facilitates a more stable connection between the mounting plate and the flange 200.

[0049] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 6 to 8 As shown, a second threaded hole 112 is provided on the bottom surface of each limiting groove. A second mounting through hole 311 is provided on each second boss 310, and one second mounting through hole 311 corresponds to one second threaded hole 112.

[0050] The bolt passes through the second mounting through hole 311 from bottom to top and is screwed into the second threaded hole 112, thereby enabling the toilet bowl 300 to be installed on the base plate 100.

[0051] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the toilet 10 also includes a rubber strip 800. The rubber strip 800 is disposed between the opening and the base plate 100.

[0054] The reinforcing strip 520 can be used to strengthen the peripheral wall 510. Before installing the base plate 100 onto the base shell, the fixing block 600 is first bolted onto the reinforcing strip 520 of the base shell. Then, the base plate 100 is placed onto the base shell, so that the fixing block 600 abuts against the lower surface of the connecting column. Then, the fixing block 600 is rotated. When the stop surface of the fourth boss 610 abuts against the connecting column, the connecting column mounting hole on each fixing block 600 is aligned with a corresponding third threaded hole 121. Then, the bolt is passed from bottom to top through the connecting column mounting hole and screwed into the third threaded hole, thus installing the base plate 100 and the base shell together. This setup improves installation efficiency and saves working time.

[0055] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, a reinforcing plate is provided between the two connecting columns 120. The reinforcing plate helps to increase the supporting strength of the two connecting columns 120.
