Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of toilet brush holder technology, specifically relating to a grip structure that facilitates the movement of the toilet brush inner tube and the holder. Background Technology

[0002] Toilet brush holders are an important component of bathroom cleaning tools, primarily used to store toilet brushes, maintain hygiene, reduce odors, and prevent wastewater from dripping and contaminating the floor. The inner liner of the toilet brush holder is the core component of the toilet brush storage system, directly affecting hygiene, ease of cleaning, and lifespan. Early inner liners were mostly fixed or simple water collection trays, but this structure led to water accumulation and bacterial growth, resulting in persistent odors and stains. Furthermore, the fixed design meant the inner liner couldn't be disassembled, requiring the entire holder to be emptied for cleaning, which was inconvenient. This led to the development of detachable inner liners, which can be removed separately to prevent wastewater buildup.

[0003] In daily life, toilet brush inner tubes easily get dirty during use and need to be cleaned regularly. Traditional inner tubes and bases lack a dedicated grip structure, so removing the inner tube or moving the entire toilet brush seat may require touching the inner wall with your hands, which is unhygienic and results in a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems in related technologies, this utility model proposes a grip structure that facilitates the movement of the toilet brush inner liner and seat. A flange ring and a grip are provided at the opening end of the inner liner. By applying force to the flexible structure of the grip, the inner liner or the inner liner and seat can be lifted, avoiding direct contact between the user's hands and the dirt on the inner liner or seat wall, thus improving the user experience.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] A grip structure for facilitating the movement of a toilet brush inner tube and a base includes a base with an opening at the top and an inner tube disposed within the base. The inner tube is a barrel shape with an opening at the top and is adapted to the base. A toilet brush is disposed inside the inner tube.

[0007] The inner liner has an annular flange at its opening end. The flange expands outward and sits on the opening of the bucket seat. Symmetrical grips extend downward from the outer side of the flange along the outer side wall of the bucket seat. The grips are flexible. When the hand contacts the grips and applies pressure towards the side wall of the bucket seat:

[0008] When the grip deforms but does not come into contact with the side wall of the tub to generate friction, the inner liner is lifted from inside the tub to form the first position; or,

[0009] When the grip deforms and comes into contact with the side wall of the bucket seat, generating friction, the inner liner and the bucket seat are lifted together to form a second posture.

[0010] Preferably, the side wall of the bucket seat is located between the grip portion and the side wall of the inner liner.

[0011] Specifically, the bucket seat is fitted onto the outer wall of the inner liner, and the size of the inner liner is adapted to the bucket seat; the grips are positioned opposite each other, hanging down from the open end of the bucket seat along the outer wall of the bucket seat.

[0012] Preferably, there is a gap between the grip and the side wall of the bucket seat, and the inner liner overlaps the grip with the open end of the bucket seat via a flange ring.

[0013] Specifically, the grip is positioned opposite the side wall of the tub base with a gap between them. Since the flange ring is extended outward and sits on the opening of the tub base, and the grip extends downward along the outer side wall of the tub base from the opening end of the tub base, the inner liner is hung on the opening end of the tub base using the flange ring and the grip, and the inner liner can be taken out upward or lowered at any time.

[0014] Preferably, the gripping part is longitudinally plate-shaped and symmetrically arranged on the outer side of the side wall of the bucket seat; the outer surface of the gripping part is flat.

[0015] Specifically, the outer surface of the grip is flat, making it easy to touch and apply force by hand. When the grip deforms and does not contact the side wall of the bucket seat, or contacts the side wall but does not generate friction, the inner liner can be removed from the bucket seat simply by using the grip, which is the first posture. When the grip deforms and contacts the side wall of the bucket seat and generates friction, and the generated friction is not less than the weight of the bucket seat itself, the inner liner and the bucket seat will be lifted together, which is the second posture.

[0016] Preferably, the connection between the gripping part and the flange ring is provided with a downward-facing groove.

[0017] Specifically, a groove is formed between the inner side of the grip and the flange ring, which can enhance the strength of the flexible structure of the grip, improve the flexibility of the grip, and prevent excessive force from being applied to the grip, causing it to break.

[0018] Preferably, the outer side wall of the inner liner is provided with a plurality of longitudinal reinforcing ribs, the upper end of which is connected to the flange ring.

[0019] Specifically, the reinforcing ribs enhance the overall strength and flexibility of the inner liner, preventing it from deforming when force is applied to the gripping part. When the inner liner of the bucket seat overlaps with the open end of the bucket seat via a flange ring, the outer side of the reinforcing rib abuts against the inner wall of the bucket seat. When the inner liner and the bucket seat need to be lifted simultaneously, applying pressure to the gripping part increases the friction between the inner wall of the bucket seat and the reinforcing rib, thus providing suitable friction for the inner liner and the bucket seat, facilitating the formation of the second posture.

[0020] Preferably, the inner liner, flange ring, and grip are integrally formed.

[0021] Specifically, the inner liner, flange, and grip can also be connected separately. One-piece molding ensures structural integrity, allowing the inner liner, flange, and grip to all utilize flexible structures, such as plastic structures. When the grip deforms, the inner liner and flange can adjust as a whole, resulting in a more harmonious overall structure; it also prevents deformation that is difficult or impossible to recover after long-term use.

[0022] Preferably, the outer wall of the bucket seat has one or more pairs of grips.

[0023] Specifically, the grips are arranged in pairs and symmetrically to facilitate lifting the inner liner and the base; multiple pairs can be set so that they can be lifted from different angles.

[0024] Preferably, the flange is larger than the size of the inner liner opening, and the size of the flange is adapted to the opening size of the bucket seat.

[0025] Specifically, due to the outward expansion of the flange ring, its size is larger than the size of the inner liner opening; the flange ring is adapted to the size of the barrel seat opening, so that it sits on the opening of the barrel seat, and with the help of the grip, the inner liner and the flange ring sit together on the opening of the barrel seat.

[0026] Preferably, the opening of the inner liner and the inner side of the flange form an annular support, and a cover is provided on the annular support.

[0027] Specifically, the outward expansion of the flange ring forms an annular support with the opening of the inner liner, and the annular support is used to install the cover.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention achieves the following beneficial effects:

[0029] This utility model provides a grip structure for easy movement of the toilet brush inner liner and base, including a base and an inner liner disposed within the base. The opening of the inner liner is provided with an outwardly flared flange ring, which sits on the opening of the base. Grip portions are provided extending downward from the outer side of the flange ring along the outer side wall of the base. The grip portions are flexible structures. By applying force to the grip portions by hand, the inner liner can be lifted; or by applying strong force to the grip portions by hand, the grip portions come into contact with the outer side wall of the base to generate friction, thereby lifting the inner liner and the base together.

[0030] The grip and flange design allow for easy lifting and cleaning of the inner liner, or the inner liner and seat, by hand, using only the grip. This avoids direct contact with the outer wall of the seat or other structures of the inner liner, preventing unhygienic contact with dirt on the toilet brush, inner liner, and seat. The grip acts like a handle, facilitating lifting and lowering. Furthermore, the grip and flange also act as a limiter, preventing the inner liner from wobbling within the seat. The flange sits on the seat opening, making it easy to lift or lower the inner liner; the grip provides positioning, preventing movement of the inner liner and flange; and a design logo can be printed on the outside of the grip.

[0043] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0044] Example

[0045] like Figures 1 to 7 A gripping structure for facilitating the movement of the inner liner 201 and the base 101 of a toilet brush 301 includes a base 101 with an opening at the top and an inner liner 201 disposed inside the base 101. The inner liner 201 is a barrel shape with an opening at the top and is adapted to the base 101. The toilet brush 301 is disposed inside the inner liner 201.

[0046] The inner liner 201 has an annular flange 202 at its open end. The flange 202 expands outward and sits on the opening of the bucket seat 101. Symmetrical grip portions 203 extend downward along the outer side wall of the bucket seat 101 from the outer side of the flange 202. The grip portions 203 are flexible structures. When a hand touches the grip portion 203 and applies pressure towards the side wall of the bucket seat 101:

[0047] When the grip 203 deforms but does not come into contact with the side wall of the bucket seat 101 to generate friction, the inner liner 201 is lifted from inside the bucket seat 101 to form the first posture; or,

[0048] When the grip 203 deforms and comes into contact with the side wall of the bucket seat 101 and generates friction, the inner liner 201 and the bucket seat 101 are lifted together to form a second posture.

[0049] The side wall of the bucket seat 101 is located between the grip part 203 and the side wall of the inner liner 201.

[0050] The bucket seat 101 is fitted onto the outer wall of the inner liner 201, and the size of the inner liner 201 is also adapted to the bucket seat 101; the grip part 203 is arranged opposite to it and hangs down from the open end of the bucket seat 101 along the outer wall of the bucket seat 101.

[0051] There is a gap between the grip 203 and the side wall of the bucket seat 101, and the inner liner 201 overlaps with the grip 203 at the open end of the bucket seat 101 through the flange ring 202.

[0052] The grip 203 is positioned opposite the side wall of the bucket seat 101. Since the flange ring 202 is outwardly extended and sits on the opening of the bucket seat 101, and the grip 203 extends downward from the opening end of the bucket seat 101 along the outer side wall of the bucket seat 101, the inner liner 201 is hung on the opening end of the bucket seat 101 by means of the flange ring 202 and the grip 203, and the inner liner 201 can be taken out upward or lowered at any time.

[0053] The gripping part 203 is in the shape of a longitudinal plate and is symmetrically arranged on the outer side of the side wall of the barrel seat 101; the outer surface of the gripping part 203 is flat.

[0054] The outer surface of the grip 203 is flat, making it easy to touch and apply force by hand.

[0055] The connection between the gripping part 203 and the flange ring 202 is provided with a downward-facing groove 204.

[0056] A groove 204 is formed between the inner side of the grip 203 and the flange ring 202, which can enhance the strength of the flexible structure of the grip 203, improve the flexibility of the grip 203, and prevent excessive force from being applied to the grip 203, causing it to break.

[0057] The inner liner 201, flange ring 202 and grip part 203 are integrally formed.

[0058] The inner liner 201, flange ring 202, and gripping part 203 can also be connected separately. One-piece molding ensures structural integrity, allowing the inner liner 201, flange ring 202, and gripping part 203 to all adopt flexible structures, such as plastic structures. When the gripping part 203 deforms, the inner liner 201 and flange ring 202 can adjust as a whole, resulting in a more harmonious overall structure; it also avoids the difficulty or inability to recover from deformation after long-term use.

[0059] In this embodiment, the inner liner 201, flange ring 202, and gripping part 203 are integrally formed.

[0060] The outer wall of the bucket seat 101 has one or more pairs of grips 203.

[0061] In this embodiment, a pair of gripping parts 203 are provided.

[0062] The grips 203 are arranged in pairs and symmetrically to facilitate lifting the inner liner 201 and the bucket seat 101; multiple pairs can be arranged so that they can be lifted from different angles.

[0063] The flange ring 202 is larger than the size of the opening end of the inner liner 201, and the size of the flange ring 202 is adapted to the opening size of the bucket seat 101.

[0064] Because the flange ring 202 is outwardly flared, its size is larger than the size of the opening end of the inner liner 201; the flange ring 202 is adapted to the size of the opening of the barrel seat 101, so that it sits on the opening of the barrel seat 101, and together with the grip part 203, the inner liner 201 and the flange ring 202 sit on the opening of the barrel seat 101.

[0065] The opening of the inner liner 201 and the inner side of the flange ring 202 form an annular support 205, and a cover 401 is provided on the annular support 205.

[0066] The outward expansion of the flange ring 202 forms an annular support 205 with the opening of the inner liner 201, and the annular support 205 is used to set the cover 401.

[0067] The outer wall of the inner liner 201 is provided with several longitudinal reinforcing ribs 206, and the upper end of the reinforcing ribs 206 is connected to the flange ring 202.

[0068] The reinforcing rib 206 can enhance the overall strength and flexibility of the inner liner 201, making the inner liner 201 less prone to deformation when force is applied to the grip part 203 to deform it.

[0069] When the inner liner 201 of the bucket seat 101 overlaps with the open end of the bucket seat 101 via the flange ring 202, the outer side of the reinforcing rib 206 abuts against the inner wall of the bucket seat 101. When it is necessary to lift the inner liner 201 and the bucket seat 101 simultaneously, applying pressure to the grip 203 can increase the friction between the inner wall of the bucket seat 101 and the reinforcing rib 206, thus providing suitable friction between the inner liner 201 and the bucket seat 101, facilitating the formation of the second posture.

[0070] This utility model provides a grip structure for easily moving the inner liner 201 and the seat 101 of a toilet brush 301. When the grip 203 is touched by hand and pressure is applied towards the side wall of the seat 101: when the grip 203 deforms and does not contact the side wall of the seat 101, or contacts the side wall but does not generate friction, the inner liner 201 is removed from the seat 101 simply by touching the grip 203, which is the first posture; when the grip 203 deforms and contacts the side wall of the seat 101, generating friction, and the generated friction is not less than the weight of the seat 101 itself, the inner liner 201 and the seat 101 are lifted together, which is the second posture. By touching only the grip 203 with the hand, the inner liner 201 or the inner liner 201 and the seat 101 can be lifted or lowered, avoiding direct contact with dirt on the inner liner 201 and the seat 101, thus improving the user experience.

[0071] Based on the disclosure and teachings of the above specification, those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and some modifications and changes to the utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model. Furthermore, although some specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are only for convenience of explanation and do not constitute any limitation on this utility model.
