Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Currently, some smart toilets on the market use die-cast metal for both the base shell and base plate, which are then assembled together. The lower surface of the base plate has multiple vertical connecting strips, each with two threaded holes on its lower surface. The inner surface of the base shell's peripheral wall has multiple vertical reinforcing strips, each with a threaded hole on its upper surface, positioned below the connecting strips. The smart toilet also includes multiple fixing blocks, each positioned between the lower surface of a connecting strip and the upper surface of its corresponding reinforcing strip. Each fixing block has three through holes, corresponding to the two threaded holes on the connecting strip and one threaded hole on the reinforcing strip. During assembly, bolts are first passed through the through hole in the center of the fixing block from top to bottom, and then screwed onto the threaded holes of the reinforcing strips on the base shell. After the fixing blocks and reinforcing strips are connected, the base plate is placed on the base shell. Bolts are then passed through the through holes on both sides of the fixing blocks from bottom to top, and then screwed onto the threaded holes of the connecting strips on the base plate, thus installing the base plate onto the base shell. However, because the base shell is a semi-enclosed shell and contains a toilet bowl, the installation space is limited. When operators insert bolts from bottom to top, passing them through the through holes on both sides of the fixing block and then screwing them onto the threaded holes of the connecting strip on the base plate, it is difficult to align the through holes on the fixing block with the threaded holes, severely restricting the installation efficiency of the toilet. Ensuring that the through holes on the fixing block align with the threaded holes on the connecting strip to facilitate bolt installation has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0037] Figure 1 This is a schematic structural diagram of a base according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, and with reference Figures 2 to 6 This utility model embodiment provides a toilet base 10, including a base plate 100, a base shell 200, and multiple fixing blocks 300. The base plate 100 has a seat hole 101, and multiple vertical connecting strips are provided on the lower wall surface of the base plate 100. Each connecting strip has multiple first threaded holes 103 on its lower surface. The base shell 200 includes a peripheral wall 201 located below the base plate 100, and multiple vertical reinforcing strips 202 are provided on the inner wall of the peripheral wall 201. Each reinforcing strip 202 is located directly below a connecting strip, and its upper surface has a second threaded hole. Each fixing block 300 has reinforcing strip mounting holes 301 and multiple connecting strip mounting holes 302. Each fixing block 300 has a first boss 310 on its upper surface, adjacent to a connecting strip mounting hole 302. Each fixing block 300 is located between a connecting strip and a reinforcing strip 202, with the reinforcing strip mounting hole 301 corresponding to a second threaded hole. The first boss 310 has a stop surface 311 facing the connecting strip, and the stop surface 311 is configured such that when it abuts against the connecting strip, each connecting strip mounting hole 302 is aligned with a corresponding first threaded hole 103.

[0038] The reinforcing strip 202 can be used to enhance the strength of the peripheral wall 201. Before installing the base plate 100 onto the base shell 200, the fixing block 300 is first bolted onto the reinforcing strip 202 of the base shell 200. Then, the base plate 100 is placed onto the base shell 200, so that the fixing block 300 abuts against the connecting strip. The fixing block 300 is then rotated. When the stop surface 311 of the first boss 310 abuts against the connecting strip, the connecting strip mounting hole 302 on each fixing block 300 is aligned with a corresponding first threaded hole 103. Then, the bolt is passed from bottom to top through the connecting strip mounting hole 302 and screwed into the first threaded hole 103, thus installing the base plate 100 and the base shell 200 together. This setup improves installation efficiency and saves working time.

[0039] In some embodiments of this utility model, preferably, there are two first threaded holes arranged in a straight line, and one second threaded hole located between the two first threaded holes. Correspondingly, the fixing block has two connecting strip mounting holes 302 and one reinforcing strip mounting hole 301.

[0040] In some embodiments of this utility model, a protrusion may be provided on one side of the fixing block 300, and the portion of the protrusion that extends beyond the upper surface of the fixing block 300 is the first protrusion.

[0041] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the shape of the stop surface 311 is adapted to the shape of the connecting strip. This design results in higher positioning accuracy.

[0042] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the connecting strip includes two connecting posts 102, which are vertically arranged on the lower wall of the base plate 100. Each of the two connecting posts 102 has a first threaded hole 103 on its lower surface. A reinforcing plate is provided between the two connecting posts 102.

[0043] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, a first mounting opening 203 is provided on the rear side of the peripheral wall 201. The base shell 200 also includes a bottom wall, the edge of which is connected to the lower edge of the peripheral wall 201. A second mounting opening is provided on the front half of the bottom wall. The first mounting opening 203 is used by the operator to mount the rear connecting strip and reinforcing strip 202 onto the fixing block 300. The second mounting opening is used by the operator to mount the front connecting strip and reinforcing strip 202 onto the fixing block 300.

[0044] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the base 10 also includes a toilet bowl 400 and a first limiting strip 106. The toilet bowl 400 defines a flushing chamber with an upward opening. The toilet bowl 400 is located below the base plate 100 and within the peripheral wall 201. The first limiting strip 106 is disposed on the lower wall surface of the base plate 100, and the first limiting strip 106 is disposed along the edge of the seat hole 101 and is located inside the connecting strip. The first limiting strip 106 is inserted into the opening, and the first limiting strip 106 abuts against the inner surface of the flushing chamber.

[0045] The one-piece die-cast toilet bowl 400 is a thin-walled part, which may have precision errors and stress deformation, causing the opening of the toilet bowl 400 to deform. When the toilet bowl 400 is installed on the base plate 100, the first limiting strip 106 is inserted into the opening to correct the deformation of the opening of the toilet bowl 400, so that the edge of the toilet bowl 400 is in close contact with the first limiting strip 106. This can avoid errors in the installation of the toilet bowl 400 on the base plate 100, and can also prevent water from flowing out from the upper edge of the toilet bowl 400 when flushing.

[0046] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the base 10 also includes a plurality of second bosses 104 and a plurality of third bosses 402. The plurality of second bosses 104 are disposed on the lower wall surface of the base plate 100 and are located inside the connecting strip. A third threaded hole 107 is formed on the lower surface of each second boss 104. The plurality of third bosses 402 are disposed on the outer wall of the toilet bowl 400, and each third boss 402 has a mounting through hole 403. One third boss 402 abuts against one second boss 104, and one mounting through hole 403 corresponds to one third threaded hole 107.

[0047] The bolt passes through the mounting through hole 403 and the third threaded hole 107 from bottom to top, thereby enabling the toilet bowl 400 to be mounted on the base plate 100.

[0048] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, each second boss 104 has interconnected first and second sidewalls, with the second sidewalls facing the toilet bowl 400. Each first sidewall is surrounded by a second limiting strip 105, the height of which is greater than the height of the second boss 104. Since the base plate 100 and the toilet bowl 400 are both separately manufactured die-cast metal parts, there are machining errors. When installing the toilet bowl 400 onto the base plate 100, the mounting through hole 403 and the third threaded hole 107 are not easily aligned, causing installation difficulties for operators. To solve this problem, a second limiting strip 105 is provided around each first sidewall, the height of which is greater than the height of the second boss 104, so that a positioning groove with an opening on one side is formed on the upper surface of the second boss 104. When installing the toilet bowl 400 onto the base plate 100, each third boss 402 is inserted into the positioning groove, and the mounting through hole 403 and the third threaded hole 107 can be aligned, thereby reducing the difficulty of installation for operators and improving installation efficiency.

[0049] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the second sidewall is spaced apart from the first limiting strip 106, with the distance between them equal to the wall thickness of the toilet bowl 400. The first sidewall is parallel to the outer surface of the corresponding first limiting strip 106.

[0050] In these embodiments, when the toilet bowl 400 is installed on the base plate 100, the first sidewall can also limit the outer wall of the toilet bowl 400, which can prevent the outer wall of the toilet bowl 400 from bulging and creating gaps.

[0051] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the lower wall surface of the base plate 100 is provided with multiple reinforcing ribs 108, which can increase the strength of the base plate 100.

[0052] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, each second limiting strip 105 is connected to a reinforcing rib 108, which also increases the strength of the second limiting strip 105.

[0053] In some embodiments of this utility model, the base plate, the second boss, the reinforcing column, the first limiting strip, the second limiting strip, and the reinforcing rib are made of metal and are integrally cast.

[0054] In some embodiments of this utility model, the base shell and the reinforcing strip are made of metal and are integrally cast.

[0055] This utility model provides a toilet, including a base as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0056] 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. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should be understood and recognized as covering all such other variations or modifications.
