[0002] Toilets are widely used on various occasions in daily life and are one of the indispensable sanitary fixtures. The toilet frame is an important part of the toilet. In practical use, the toilet frame must be disassembled for maintenance.

[0003] Since toilets are generally made of cast ceramic, some of the mounting holes are also formed by casting them in a single piece. Consequently, the shapes of the mounting holes are irregular, and their spacing and vertical alignment prevent the desired design effect from being achieved. This makes the toilet difficult to disassemble and easy to damage after disassembly. Therefore, the assembly structure between the seat and the toilet frame must be improved. Description of the invention

[0004] The present invention is intended to solve, at least in part, one of the technical problems described above. For this reason, the object of this invention is to provide an intelligent toilet structure that allows for the quick removal of the toilet seat from, or installation on, the toilet frame, which is easy to use, and where damage to the toilet is unlikely during removal and installation.

[0005] In order to achieve the above objective, the invention proposes an intelligent toilet structure, comprising a toilet seat, a toilet frame and at least one connecting plate;

[0006] The connecting plate is mounted on the toilet seat and is provided with at least one pair of connecting posts. The toilet frame has connecting holes corresponding to the connecting posts. The connecting posts are inserted into the connecting holes so that the toilet frame is fixed to the seat.

[0007] According to the invention, the smart toilet structure is attached to the toilet seat by the connecting plate, more specifically by the uprights of the connecting plate which are inserted into the connecting holes of the toilet frame. This smart toilet structure can prevent damage to the toilet during the removal of the frame, and it is easy to remove and install.

[0027] Embodiments of the invention are described in detail below, examples of which are given in the accompanying drawings, where identical or similar numerals always denote identical or similar elements or elements having an identical or similar function. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are by way of example and are intended for the interpretation of the invention, and shall not be considered as a limitation of the invention.

[0028] In order to better understand the above technical solutions, exemplary embodiments of the invention are described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the invention can be incorporated in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments in this description. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to allow a deeper understanding of the invention and to fully present the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

[0029] The above technical solutions will be explained in detail with reference to the attached drawings and embodiments, in order to better understand them.

[0030] The realization of the intelligent toilet structure proposed by this invention is described in detail with reference to Figures 1 to 5 below.

[0031] The intelligent toilet structure according to the embodiment of the invention comprises: a toilet seat 10, a toilet frame 20 and at least one connecting plate 30.

[0032] Specifically, the connecting plate 30 is mounted on the toilet seat 10. The connecting plate 30 is provided with at least one pair of connecting uprights 301, and the toilet frame 20 is provided with connecting holes 201 corresponding to the connecting uprights 301. The connecting uprights 301 are inserted into the connecting hole 201 so that the toilet frame 20 is fixed to the toilet seat 10.

[0033] That is to say, the connecting plate 30 is installed on the toilet seat 10, and the connecting uprights 301 are provided on the connecting plate 30, so that the connection between the connecting uprights 301 and the toilet seat 10 is more solid, and at the same time, it is possible to avoid the problem that the verticality of the connecting uprights 301 and the spacing between the holes do not correspond to the connecting holes 201 of the toilet frame 20, otherwise caused by the direct installation of the connecting uprights 301 on the toilet seat 10. When installing the toilet frame 20, it is sufficient to align the connecting holes 201 of the toilet frame 20 with the connecting uprights 301 and insert them into each other. And when dismantling the toilet frame 20, the toilet frame 20 can be quickly dismantled by directly lifting the toilet frame 20.

[0034] Thus, the toilet frame 20 and the toilet seat 10 are precisely connected by placing the connecting plate 30 on the toilet seat 10, and by inserting the connecting uprights 301 on the connecting plate 30 into the connecting holes 201 on the toilet frame 20. This intelligent toilet structure can prevent damage to the toilet during the disassembly and assembly of the toilet frame 20, and its disassembly and assembly are easy.

[0035] Regarding the toilet seat 10 and the toilet frame 20, the toilet frame is provided with a mounting surface 202 and a projection 203, and the toilet seat 10 is provided with a housing 101. When the toilet frame 20 is attached to the toilet seat 10, the projection 203 is integrated into the housing 101, and the mounting surface 202 is applied against the upper face of the toilet seat 10. It is understandable that by positioning the projection 203 of the toilet frame 20, it is possible to connect the projection to the smart accessories, and that by receiving the projection 203 through the housing 101 and by applying the mounting face 202 against the upper face of the toilet seat 10, this allows for full use of the space of the toilet seat 10, making the entire smart toilet smaller, while facilitating the installation of the toilet seat.

[0036] Regarding the connection holes 201, they are provided on the mounting face 202, presenting a projecting cylindrical shape. It is understandable that the mounting surface 202 applies better against the upper face of the toilet 10 by providing the connection holes 201 on the mounting face 202, so that the smart toilet is more aesthetically pleasing as a whole. And the corresponding section of the connection column 301 and the connection hole 201 is longer thanks to the projecting cylindrical shape of the connection holes 201, which makes the connection between the 301 connecting posts and the 201 connecting holes, which are more robust. Among these, the 201 connecting holes may be blind holes.

[0037] Regarding the toilet seat 10, it is provided with a mounting groove 102 for installing the connecting plate 30. The mounting groove 102 is lower than the upper face of the toilet seat 10. It is understandable that thanks to the mounting groove 102 of the toilet seat 10, it is easy to mount the connecting plate 30 in the mounting groove 102 without it being exposed above the upper face of the toilet seat 10, and to allow the connection of the connecting uprights 301 and the connecting holes 201 in the mounting groove 102, which facilitates the application of the mounting face 202 against the upper face of the toilet seat 10.

[0038] Regarding the connecting plate 30, it is adjustable relative to the toilet seat 10. The connecting plate 30 is Z-shaped. It is understandable that toilets are generally made of cast ceramic, and some of the mounting holes are also formed by casting them in one piece. Consequently, the shapes of the mounting holes are irregular, and their spacing and vertical alignment do not allow for the desired design effect, resulting in an imprecise connection between the connecting posts 301 and the connecting holes 201. Thanks to the adjustable installation of the connecting plate 30, the spacing between the connecting posts 301 can be refined, so that the connecting posts 301 and the connecting holes 201 can be precisely connected.By presenting the Z-shape of the connecting plates 30, the connecting uprights 301 can be installed lower, which facilitates adaptation to the connecting holes 201 of a certain length, so that the mounting surface 202 can be applied against the upper face of the toilet seat 10. Among these, the connecting plate 30 can be a metal piece mounted on the toilet seat 10 by fasteners. During adjustment, the fasteners can be loosened and tightened to pivot the connecting plate 30. The connecting upright 301 can be mounted onto the connecting plate 30 by welding or by threading around the connecting upright 301.

[0039] Regarding the interaction between the stud 301 and the hole 201, a damping piece 3011 is provided on the stud 301. When the stud 301 is inserted into the hole 201, the damping piece 3011 comes into contact with the inner wall of the hole 201 in order to maintain a certain resistance between the stud 301 and the hole 201. It is understandable that the interaction between the damping piece 3011 on the connecting stud 301 and the inner wall of the connecting hole 201 creates friction between the connecting stud 301 and the connecting hole. 201, and at the same time, it can eliminate the play between the connecting post 301 and the connecting hole 201. On the one hand, this facilitates the connection between the toilet frame 20 and the toilet seat 10, and on the other hand, it facilitates the quick dismantling of the toilet frame 20 from the toilet seat 10.

[0040] Regarding the damping element 3011, the damping element 3011 is a rubber ring. It is understandable that rubber rings are economical, durable, and easy to replace. The rubber ring can be placed in the groove on the connecting post 301 and can be positioned near the top of the connecting post 301.

[0041] Regarding the connecting post 301, the upper part of the connecting post 301 is in the shape of a truncated cone. It is understood that the truncated cone shape of the upper part of the connecting post 301 allows the connecting post 301 to have a guiding function, which facilitates better access of the connecting post 301 inside the connection hole 201, so as to quickly mount the toilet frame 20.

[0042] In certain embodiments, the structure also includes a quick-release assembly 40, consisting of a vertical post 401 and a clip-on part 402. The vertical post 401 is positioned on the connecting plate 30 and is provided with a clamping groove. The clip-on part 402, positioned on the toilet frame 20, can be pressed into place. When installing the toilet frame 20, the vertical post 401 is inserted into the clip-on part 402 so that it is connected to the groove, and when removing the toilet frame 20, the two are disconnected by pressing on the clip-on part 402.It is understandable that the toilet frame 20 and the toilet seat 10 are connected in a removable manner by the quick-release assembly 40, and the connecting post 301 on the toilet seat 10 cooperates with the connecting hole 201 on the toilet frame 20, so that the connection of the toilet frame 20 and the toilet seat 10 is more solid, and at the same time so as to achieve the quick disassembly and assembly of the toilet frame 20. In addition, the number of quick-release assemblies 40 can be two, with two vertical posts 401 placed on a connecting plate 30, and in this case, the connecting plate 30 can also be of the flat type, the connecting posts 301 can be a pair and separately set on two other connecting plates 30, thus all working together to achieve the quick disassembly of the toilet frame 20.
