[0022] The embodiments of the present application provide a cover paper 100, a toilet seat cover, a toilet seat, and a toilet bowl that can be used to replace a toilet seat cover. The cover paper 100, the toilet seat cover, the toilet seat, and the toilet bowl according to the present application can improve the hygiene of the toilet bowl and improve the comfort of users.

[0023] As shown in FIG. 1, an embodiment of the present application provides a cover paper 100, which includes a cover paper sheet, and the cover paper 100 has a plurality of cover paper sheets, which are stacked and bonded together in sequence, each cover paper sheet having an easy-tear strip 130 on its edge, and a first through hole 140 in the center of each cover paper sheet.

[0024] The cover paper 100 is attached to the toilet seat, and by stacking and bonding multiple cover paper sheets, each cover paper sheet is made into a disposable product. To ensure hygiene and safety when using the toilet, users only need to peel off the outermost cover paper sheet exposed to the air and use the next cover paper sheet.

[0025] In this embodiment, the cover paper sheets are bonded together by an ultrasonic welding process, which allows the cover paper sheets to be controlled to be bonded to an optimal degree of adhesion. When peeling off the cover paper sheets, the user can peel off the outermost cover paper sheet at once, which improves usage efficiency and makes operation easier.

[0026] The easy-tear strip 130 is located on one side of the cover paper sheet, and the easy-tear strip 130 of each cover paper sheet is relatively independent, that is, two adjacent cover paper sheets are entirely adhered to each other except for the areas of the easy-tear strip 130. By providing the easy-tear strip 130, when using the product, the operator only needs to pinch the easy-tear strip 130 of the outermost cover paper sheet and gently peel it off, which is safe, hygienic, and easy to use.

[0027] The cover paper sheets are stacked so that the first through holes 140 of each cover paper sheet are perfectly aligned, and the first through holes 140 are perfectly aligned with the seat holes of the toilet seat, making it easy for operators to use. During production, each cover paper sheet can be individually punched and then ultrasonically welded after being stacked, or multiple complete paper sheets can be stacked and ultrasonically welded, and then uniformly punched.

[0028] In this embodiment, multiple complete paper sheets are stacked and then ultrasonically welded together, and then holes are drilled in the same order, which ensures that the first through holes 140 of all cover paper sheets are aligned, facilitates mass production, and improves operating efficiency.

[0029] In some embodiments, the cover paper sheet includes a folding section 110 and a working section 120, and an easy-tear strip 130 is provided on the side of the folding section 110, and a first through hole 140 is opened in the middle of the working section 120.

[0030] In conventional toilet structures, the end of the toilet seat connected to the toilet body is often raised higher than the end away from the toilet body to make it easier to turn the seat over. In this embodiment, the cover paper sheet is adapted to fit the toilet seat by providing a folding portion 110 and a working portion 120. When placing the cover paper sheet, the cover paper sheet is placed flat on the toilet seat, and the folding portion 110 is placed on the end of the toilet seat connected to the toilet body.

[0031] Since the working part 120 is adapted to fit the seat surface of the toilet seat, its width is narrow, and the easy-tear strip 130 is provided on the wide folding part 110, so that a large buffer distance is maintained when peeling off the cover paper sheet, making it easy for the operator to use and avoiding the problem of the cover paper sheet being torn or wrinkled when peeled off from the working part 120.

[0032] The working part 120 is the part that comes into contact with the user's body when using the toilet, ensuring hygienic safety during use and also serving to perfectly align the first through-hole 140 with the toilet seat hole of the toilet seat, making it easier for the operator to use and preventing contamination of the cover paper sheet on the back layer.

[0033] As shown in FIG. 3, in some embodiments, the cover paper sheet has a waterproof layer 150 and a water-absorbing layer 160, and the water-absorbing layer 160 is attached to one side of the waterproof layer 150, and the side of the waterproof layer 150 away from the water-absorbing layer 160 is used to contact the human body.

[0034] By applying a waterproofing agent or nano-coating treatment to one side of the cover paper sheet to form a waterproof layer 150, the waterproof layer 150 can be kept dry when it comes into contact with the human body, and damage to the cover paper sheet caused by water getting on the surface can be avoided, thereby improving the comfort of the user and the quality of the cover paper sheet.

[0035] By providing the water-absorbing layer 160 on the side of the waterproof layer 150 that does not come into contact with the human body, when replacing the cover paper sheet, the cover paper sheet can be placed directly into the toilet bowl, and when it absorbs water, it becomes wet paper and is flushed out of the toilet. When the cover paper sheets are laminated and welded together, the water-absorbing layer 160 of the outer cover paper sheet and the waterproof layer 150 of the inner cover paper sheet are both bonded together in a regular manner.

[0036] In some embodiments, the thickness d of the cover paper sheet is between 0.02 and 0.06 mm.

[0037] The thickness d of the cover paper sheet may be 0.02 mm, 0.03 mm, 0.04 mm, 0.05 mm, 0.06 mm, etc., and an appropriate thickness can be selected according to the specific production process and use scene. If the cover paper sheet is too thin, the strength of the cover paper sheet will be insufficient and it will be easily damaged, and if the cover paper sheet is too thick, the softness of the cover paper sheet will be insufficient and the user will have a poor touch experience.

[0038] In this embodiment, the thickness d of the cover paper sheet is 0.04 mm.

[0039] The embodiment of the present application further provides a toilet seat cover, which includes a cover body 200 and the cover paper 100 in any one of the above embodiments, wherein the cover paper sheet is attached to the cover body 200.

[0040] The cover body 200 may be made of a plate material with a certain hardness, such as a plastic plate or a corrugated cardboard plate, and in this embodiment, the cover body 200 is made of a corrugated cardboard plate. The provision of the cover body 200 provides a certain level of support strength to the cover paper 100, and when placing the cover paper 100, it is only necessary to attach the cover body 200 to the toilet seat, making it easy to fix and replace.
