Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to, but is not limited to, the field of toilets,
and particularly relates to a toilet device.
Background
[0002] In the current toilet device, some toilets apply a sewage discharge structure with
a flipped sewage discharge pipe. The flipped sewage discharge pipe has a horizontal
ceramic sewage discharge pipe and an L-shaped bend pipe connected with the sewage
discharge pipe.
[0003] A toilet seat body is mainly made of a ceramic material, and a connection with a
sewage discharge box (the L-shaped bend pipe is installed in the sewage discharge
box) is prone to poor sealing. Although a method of bonding with adhesive glue can
solve a sealing problem to a certain extent, an adhesive glue connection method itself
further has angle problems. For example, it cannot be conveniently disassembled and
assembled, and it is still inconvenient to replace the adhesive glue after aging.
In addition, even if bolts and the like are used as connection members for connection,
since a quantity of connection members cannot be set too many, there are still problems
such as uneven stress in the connection area between the toilet seat body and the
sewage discharge box.

[0004] The following is a summary of the subject matter described in detail herein. This
summary is not intended to limit the protection scope of the claims.
[0005] An embodiment of the present application discloses a toilet device. The toilet device
includes a toilet seat body and a sewage discharge mechanism. The toilet seat body
is provided with a toilet bowl and a sewage discharge port communicated with the toilet

Detailed Description
[0009] Embodiments of the present application are described below, and examples of the embodiments
are shown in the drawings, in which the same or similar designations throughout denote
the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The
embodiments described below by reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary
and are intended only to explain the embodiments of the present application and cannot
be interpreted as limitations on the embodiments of the present application.
[0010] For the existing toilet with an L-shaped sewage discharge pipe, there is a big problem
in a seal between a sewage discharge box and a toilet seat body: although a surface
of the ceramic material is visually relatively flat, a ceramic surface is still uneven
for a seal of water and gas. However, the toilet seat body is generally made of a
ceramic material, and it is inconvenient to open holes, open threads, and open grooves
or the like on the ceramic material, which makes it difficult to connect the toilet
seat body and the sewage discharge box, and causes the poor connection effect.
[0011] At present, a method often used is to directly carry out adhesive connection, and
apply a large amount of adhesive glue to the connection position of the sewage discharge
box and the toilet seat body for bonding, and the adhesive glue plays a role of seal
and connection. However, there are still big problems in a connection method of the
adhesive glue: it is difficult to disassemble a connection of the adhesive glue, and
it is not convenient to repair and replace. And after long-term use, the adhesive
glue is easy to age and fail, and there is a risk of water leakage.
[0012] An embodiment of the present application provides a toilet device. The toilet device
includes a toilet seat body and a sewage discharge mechanism. The toilet seat body
is provided with a toilet bowl and a sewage discharge port communicated with the toilet
bowl and a sewage discharge connection part is provided on an outer periphery of the
sewage discharge port. The sewage discharge connection part is located outside the
toilet bowl, and is provided with a channel communicated with the sewage discharge
port. The sewage discharge mechanism includes a sewage discharge box, the sewage discharge
box is provided with a sewage inlet communicated with the channel, a sewage intake
connection part is provided on an outer periphery of the sewage inlet, and the sewage
intake connection part protrudes on an outer wall of the sewage discharge box. The
sewage intake connection part is detachably connected with the sewage discharge connection
part to fix the sewage discharge box on the toilet seat body.
[0013] A seal connection structure in a toilet device provided by an embodiment of the present
application is reliable in use and can be easily disassembled for maintenance, replacement,
and the like. The seal joint has high working reliability and is not easy to be damaged.
For members (such as: snap connection element) that may be consumed, the toilet device
can be disassembled and replaced, which has strong practicability and improves the
service life of the toilet device.
[0014] An embodiment of the present application provides a toilet device, as shown in FIGS.
1 to 16. The toilet device includes a toilet seat body 1, a sewage discharge mechanism
2, and a snap connection element 3. The toilet seat body 1 is provided with a toilet
bowl 11 and a sewage outlet 12 communicated with the toilet bowl 11. A sewage discharge
connection part 13 is provided on the outer periphery of the sewage outlet 12. The
sewage discharge connection part 13 is located outside the toilet bowl 11 and is provided
with a channel communicated with the sewage outlet 12. The sewage discharge mechanism
2 includes a sewage discharge box 21, and the sewage discharge box 21 is provided
with a sewage inlet 211 communicated with the channel. A sewage intake connection
part 23 is provided on the outer periphery of the sewage inlet 211, and the sewage
intake connection part 23 protrudes on an outer wall of the sewage discharge box 21,
and is fixedly connected to the sewage discharge connection part 13 through the snap
connection element 3, so that the toilet seat body 1 and the sewage discharge box
21 are fixedly connected.
[0015] The sewage discharge mechanism 2 may further include a sewage discharge pipe 22 located
in the sewage discharge box 21, the sewage discharge pipe 22 is communicated with
the sewage inlet 211, and the sewage discharge pipe 22 is rotatable relative to the
sewage discharge box 21 to discharge sewage. The sewage discharge pipe 22 and the
sewage discharge box 21 may be made of plastic, and the toilet seat body 1 may be
made of a ceramic material.
[0016] Multiple snap connection elements 3 may be arranged in a circumferential direction
of the sewage discharge box 21, so as to improve the connection effect, so that the
toilet seat body 1 and the sewage discharge box 21 are uniformly stressed, and the
occurrence of askew and easy disengagement after connection are avoided.
[0017] In the toilet device provided by an embodiment of the present application, the toilet
seat body 1 and the sewage discharge box 21 are fixedly connected by the snap connection
element 3, and the snap connection element 3 has a tight fixation and a good connection
effect.
In this way, end faces of the sewage discharge connection part 13 and the sewage intake
connection part 23 are more tightly bonded, so as to avoid a large gap at the connection
between the toilet seat body 1 and the sewage discharge box 21, and avoid problems
of water leakage and returning of odor.
[0018] In an actual operation, the sewage intake connection part 23 may be a plastic element,
and after a certain compression force is applied to the snap connection element 3,
the sewage intake connection part 23 may be slightly deformed, so that the sewage
discharge connection part 13 is more tightly bonded and the sealability is improved.
[0019] The sewage intake connection part 23 is provided at the sewage inlet 211 of the sewage
discharge box 21 and the sewage discharge connection part 13 is provided at the sewage
outlet 12 of the toilet seat body 1. The sewage intake connection part 23 and the
sewage discharge connection part 13 are provided for easy connection. The connection
between the toilet seat body 1 and the sewage discharge box 21 may be realized by
a fixed connection between the sewage intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge
connection part 13. The connection structure is simplified, and the connection between
the main structures of the toilet seat body 1 and the sewage discharge box 21 through
hole punching or other methods is avoided, which is efficient and practical.
[0020] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the snap connection element 3
includes a first connection element 31 and the first connection element 31 includes
at least one snapping element 311 that cooperates with a snapping protrusion 321.
One of the first connection element 31 and the snapping protrusion 321 is provided
at the sewage discharge connection part 13 and the other of the first connection element
31 and the snapping protrusion 321 is provided at the sewage intake connection part
23. The snapping element 311 is configured to buckle on the snapping protrusion 321
and hook and cooperate with the snapping protrusion 321 to prevent the sewage intake
connection part 23 from being disengaged from the sewage discharge connection part
13.
[0021] The snapping element 311 may be used as a mother buckle, the snapping protrusion
321 may be used as a child buckle, and the snap connection element 3 is snapped in
such a manner that the child buckle and the mother buckle are fastened.
[0022] The first connection element 31 may be provided on the sewage intake connection part
23 and the snapping protrusion 321 may be provided on the sewage discharge connection
part 13. The snapping element 311 and the snapping protrusion 321 are snapped in a
hooked manner, so that the sewage intake connection part 23 is limited and fixed at
the sewage discharge connection part 13.
[0023] Alternatively, the first connection element 31 may further be provided on the sewage
discharge connection part 13, and the snapping protrusion 321 may be provided on the
sewage intake connection part 23.
[0024] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the first connection element
31 further includes a fixation ring 312. The fixation ring 312 is sleeved outside
the sewage intake connection part 23 or the sewage discharge connection part 13, and
the snapping element 311 is movably connected to the fixation ring 312.
[0025] The snapping element 311 is sleeved outside the sewage intake connection part 23
by a fixation ring 312, and the fixation ring 312 is used as an intermediate installation
member. In this way, a structure of the snapping element 311 may be simplified, and
the snapping element 311 may be installed on the sewage intake connection part 23,
and may be movable (e.g., rotated) relative to the sewage intake connection part 23
so as to hook with or disengage from the snapping protrusion 321.
[0026] Alternatively, the snapping element 311 may further be provided outside the sewage
discharge connection part 13.
[0027] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the first connection element
31 further includes a locking element 313, and the locking element 313 is configured
to lock the snapping element 311 in a position where the snapping element 311 cooperates
in place with the snapping protrusion 321.
[0028] The first connection element 31 further includes the locking element 313 and the
locking element 313 cooperates with the snapping element 311. After a hook connection
between the snapping element 311 and the snapping protrusion 321 is completed, the
locking element 313 limits and fixes the snapping element 311 to prevent the snapping
element 311 from being rotated and disengaged by itself.
[0029] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the snapping element 311 is
rotatably connected to the fixation ring 312, and the locking element 313 is rotatably
connected to the fixation ring 312. When the snapping element 311 rotates in a first
direction to a position where the snapping element 311 and the snapping protrusion
321 cooperate in place, the locking element 313 rotates in a second direction opposite
to the first direction to a locking position, and a resistance increases first and
then decreases during the rotation to the locking position. A direction in which the
snapping element 311 or the locking element 313 rotates toward the sewage discharge
connection part 13 is a first direction, as shown in an A direction in FIG. 4. A direction
in which the snapping element 311 or the locking element 313 rotates away from the
sewage discharge connection part 13 is a second direction, as shown in a B direction
in FIG. 4.
[0030] The locking element 313 may be rotatably connected to the fixation ring 312. After
the snapping element 311 rotates to hook and connect with the snapping protrusion
321, the locking element 313 rotates in an opposite direction to lock.
[0031] When the locking element 313 is rotated to the locking position, the resistance increases
first and then decreases. In other words, the locking element 313 cannot be disengaged
by itself after being in the locking position, so that the locking and limiting effect
of the locking element 313 is ensured, the connection between the toilet seat body
1 and the sewage discharge box 21 is stabilized, and the operating reliability of
the toilet device is improved. When it is necessary to unlock the locking element
313, the operator overcomes the resistance during the rotation of the locking element
313 so that the locking element 313 rotates to an unlocked position. In other words,
the locking element 313 forms a self-lock after the locking element 313 rotates to
a locked position. The resistance that changes during the rotation of the locking
element 311 may prevent the locking element 311 from being accidentally disengaged
due to factors such as external force, vibration and the like.
[0032] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the fixation ring 312 is convexly
provided with an installation seat 3121, and the snapping element 311 and the locking
element 313 are both rotatably connected to the installation seat 3121. The rotation
axes of the snapping element 311 and the locking element 313 are staggered, and a
rotation shaft of the snapping element 311 is further inserted into the locking element
313.
[0033] The fixation ring 312 is provided with the installation seat 3121, and the locking
element 313 is rotatably installed on the installation seat 3121. The snapping element
311 is rotatably installed on the installation seat 3121, and the rotation axes of
the snapping element 311 and the locking element 313 are provided in parallel and
with a certain distance apart.
[0034] After the snapping element 311 is hooked to and connected with the snapping protrusion
321, the locking element 313 rotates in an opposite direction so that the snapping
element 311 and the snapping protrusion 321 are clamped tightly and locked to prevent
the clamping connection from automatically disengagement. As for the locking of the
locking element 313, the resistance of the locking element 313 increases first and
then decreases during the rotation of the locking element 313 to the locking position.
That is to say, when unlocking the locking element 313, it is necessary to overcome
the resistance during the rotation of the locking element 313 to make the locking
element 313 rotate to the non-locking position. In other words, the locking element
313 forms a self-lock after rotating to the locking position, and the locking element
311 may not overcome the greater resistance during the greater rotation to be disengaged
by itself, and an operator needs to apply an external force to unlock and open the
locking element 313.
[0035] In an exemplary embodiment, the sewage discharge connection part 13 or the sewage
intake connection part 23 is provided with a first annular flange 232 for preventing
the fixation ring 312 from being disengaged in an axial direction.
[0036] As shown in FIG. 13, the first annular flange 232 is provided at the end part of
the sewage intake connection part 23, and the first annular flange 232 may limit the
fixation ring 312 to prevent the fixation ring 312 from being disengaged in the axial
direction.
[0037] In addition, grooves (i.e., subsequent first installation groove or second installation
groove) may be provided on the first annular flange 232 for installing a sealing element
4, so as to facilitate a sealing fit of the sewage discharge connection part 13.
[0038] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2, 3 and 7, the snap connection element
3 further includes a second connection element 32. One of the second connection element
32 and the first connection element 31 is provided at the sewage discharge connection
part 13, the other of the second connection element 32 and the first connection element
31 is provided at the sewage intake connection part 23, and the snapping protrusion
321 is provided at the second connection element 32.
[0039] The second connection element 32 may be provided on the sewage discharge connection
part 13, the first connection element 31 may be provided on the sewage intake connection
part 23, and the snapping protrusion 321 is provided on the second connection element
32 and is located at the sewage discharge connection part 13.
[0040] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the second connection element 32 includes
a clamping ring 322. The clamping ring 322 is sleeved outside the sewage discharge
connection part 13 or the sewage intake connection part 23, and the snapping protrusion
321 is provided at the clamping ring 322 and protrudes outward in a radial direction
of the clamping ring 322.
[0041] The snapping protrusion 321 is provided on the sewage discharge connection part 13
through the clamping ring 322 and the clamping ring 322 serves as an intermediate
installation structure. The snapping protrusion 321 mainly functions as an overlap
fit with the snapping element 31, and the clamping ring 322 functions as a connection
with the sewage discharge connection part 13, which simplifies a structure of the
snapping protrusion 321, improves a strength of the snapping protrusion 321, and further
improves the stability of the connection between the snapping element 311 and the
snapping protrusion 321.
[0042] The snapping protrusion 321 is provided on the second connection element 32, and
the snapping protrusion 321 extends out on the second connection element 32 in the
radial direction to facilitate a hook connection of the snapping element 311.
[0043] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the clamping ring 322 is partially bent
to form the snapping protrusion 321. A connection part 323 is provided at a portion
of the clamping ring 232 that is opposite to the snapping protrusion 321 in the radial
direction, and the connection part 323 is detachably connected to the first connection
element 31.
[0044] The clamping ring 322 is convexly bent in a radial direction to form the snapping
protrusion 321.
In other words, the clamping ring 322 and the snapping protrusion 321 are of an integrated
structure, thereby improving the connection strength between the clamping ring 322
and the snapping protrusion 321 and reducing the manufacture cost.
[0045] The connection part 323 is provided at a portion of the clamping ring 232 that is
opposite to the snapping protrusion 321 in the radial direction and the connection
part 323 is detachably connected to the first connection element 31, such as through
a hinge connection. The connection part 323 and the snapping protrusion 321 are configured
so that there are at least two connections between the first connection element 31
and the second connection element 32, so as to prevent the first connection element
31 and the second connection element 32 from being skewed during the connection process
and ensure the stability of the connection between the first connection element 31
and the second connection element 32.
[0046] It should be understood that the connection part 323 may not be provided at a portion
of the clamping ring 232 that is opposite to the snapping protrusion 321 in the radial
direction, but another snapping protrusion may be provided at the portion instead.
In other words, two snapping protrusions 321 are provided on the clamping ring 322.
As shown in FIG. 6, two snapping elements 311 are provided on the fixation ring 312
accordingly.
[0047] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the clamping ring 322 is a strip shape
and is bent to form a ring shape with an opening, and head and tail ends at the opening
of the clamping ring 322 extend toward the fixation ring 312 to form a connection
part 323. The connection part 323 includes a first radial section 3231, a first axial
section 3232, and a first circumferential section 3233 located at the head end of
the clamping ring 322 and sequentially connected, and a second radial section 3234,
a second axial section 3235, and a second circumferential section 3236 located at
the tail end of the clamping ring 322 and sequentially connected. The first radial
section 3231 and the second radial section 3234 are provided in parallel, the first
axial section 3232 and the second axial section 3235 are provided in parallel, and
the first circumferential section 3233 and the second circumferential section 3236
are provided facing each other or facing away from each other. The first connection
element 31 is provided with an installation plate 314 extending in the radial direction.
The installation plate 314 is provided with an installation hole 3141. Two installation
plates 314 are provided side by side in the circumferential direction of the first
connection element 31, and the first circumferential section 3233 and the second circumferential
section 3236 respectively extend into the installation hole 3141 of one of the installation
plates 314.
[0048] The head end and the tail end of the clamping ring 322 extend toward the fixation
ring 312 to facilitate the connection of the fixation ring 312. The connection part
323 formed at the head end and the tail end of the clamping ring 322 is detachably
connected to the installation plate 314 on the fixation ring 312.
[0049] The first radial section 3231 extends in the radial direction to avoid interference
when the clamping ring 322 extends toward the fixation ring 312. The first axial section
3232 extends toward the fixation ring 312. The first circumferential section 3233
is located at the installation plate 314 of the fixation ring 312 and inserted into
the installation hole 3141 to achieve a plug connection. The second radial section
3234, the second axial section 3235, and the second circumferential section 3236 are
configured in a similar way.
[0050] In an exemplary embodiment, the sewage discharge connection part 13 or the sewage
intake connection part 23 is provided with a second annular flange 132 for preventing
the clamping ring 322 from being disengaged in an axial direction.
[0051] The clamping ring 322 is installed on the sewage discharge connection part 13, and
the sewage discharge connection part 13 is provided with a second annular flange 132
protruding in the radial direction. As shown in FIG. 8, the second annular flange
132 is used to prevent the clamping ring 322 from being disengaged from the sewage
discharge connection part 13.
[0052] Further, a groove (i.e., subsequent first installation groove or second installation
groove) may be provided on the second annular flange 132 for installing the sealing
element 4, so as to facilitate a sealing fit of the sewage intake connection part
23.
[0053] In an exemplary embodiment, an axial end face of the second annular flange 132 facing
away from the sewage intake connection part 23 abuts against the clamping ring 322;
or, the second annular flange 132 is provided with an annular limiting groove 1321.
The clamping ring 322 is embedded in the annular limiting groove 1321.
[0054] The sewage discharge connection part 13 includes a sewage discharge pipe section
131 extending in the axial direction and a second annular flange 132 provided at an
end of the sewage discharge pipe section 131 and on an outer sidewall of the sewage
discharge pipe section 131. The clamping ring 322 is sleeved on the sewage discharge
pipe section 131 of the sewage discharge connection part 13, and is abutted against
and limited by the second annular flange 132 to prevent the clamping ring 322 from
being disengaged from the sewage discharge pipe section 131.
[0055] The clamping ring 322 may not be provided on the sewage discharge pipe section 131,
but may be sleeved on the second annular flange 132. An annular limiting groove 1321
is provided on the second annular flange 132 and the clamping ring 322 is installed
in the annular limiting groove 1321. The limiting groove 1321 may be a groove with
a U-shaped cross section, or may be an L-shaped stepped groove.
[0056] Alternatively, when the second annular flange 132 is provided on the sewage intake
connection part 23, correspondingly, the clamping ring 322 is sleeved on a sewage
intake pipe section 231 of the sewage intake connection part 23 or the second annular
flange 132.
[0057] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the snapping protrusion 321 and
the sewage intake connection part 23 or the sewage discharge connection part 13 are
of an integrated structure. A quantity of snapping protrusions 321 is multiple and
the multiple snapping protrusions 321 are uniformly arranged in a circumferential
direction of the sewage intake connection part 23 or the sewage discharge connection
part 13.
[0058] A snapping protrusion 321 may convexly formed on the sewage discharge connection
part 13 in a radial direction and the snapping protrusion 321 is provided in multiple,
and the multiple snapping protrusion 321 are uniformly distributed in a circumferential
direction.
[0059] The snapping protrusions 321 and the sewage discharge connection part 13 are provided
as an integrated structure, which may improve the connection strength of the snapping
protrusions 321, simplify the assembly process, and eliminate a need for sleeving
the clamping ring 322 or the like on the sewage discharge connection part 13, thereby
improving the installation efficiency of the toilet device.
[0060] Alternatively, the snapping protrusion 321 may also be provided on the sewage intake
connection part 23.
[0061] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the snapping protrusion 321 includes
an extension part 3211 and a limiting part 3212, and the extension part 3211 extends
in a radial direction of the sewage discharge connection part 13. An end of the limiting
part 3212 is connected to the extension part 3211, and the other end of the limiting
part 3212 extends obliquely toward a direction away from the snapping element 311.
[0062] The extension part 3211 of the snapping protrusion 321 extends in the radial direction
and the snapping element 311 abuts against and hooks with the extension part 3211.
A limiting part 3212 is provided at an end of the extension part 3211, and the limiting
part 3212 is used to prevent the snapping element 311 from being disengaged from the
snapping protrusion 321, so as to improve the reliability of the connection.
[0063] The limiting part 3212 may be in various forms. For example, the limiting part 3212
may be a limiting protrusion to prevent the snapping element 311 from being disengaged
in a radial direction; or, an end of the extension part 3211 is bent to form a limiting
part 3212. The resistance when the snapping element 311 is disengaged is increased
by an inclined surface.
[0064] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, an obtuse angle is formed between
the extension part 3211 and the limiting part 3212, and an angle of the obtuse angle
is in the range of 120° to 175°.
[0065] An obtuse angle is formed between the extension part 3211 and the limiting part 3212,
in other words, the resistance when the snapping element 311 is disengaged is increased
by the inclined surface (the obtuse angle). The angle of the obtuse angle is in the
range of 120° to 175°, such as may be: 120°, 135°, 175°, to ensure an anti-disengagement
effect.
[0066] In an exemplary embodiment, the sewage discharge connection part 13 includes a sewage
discharge pipe section 131 and a second annular flange 132 provided on an outer sidewall
of the sewage discharge pipe section 131. The sewage intake connection part 23 includes
a sewage intake pipe section 231 and a first annular flange 232 provided on an outer
sidewall of the sewage intake pipe section 231. The sewage intake pipe section 231
and the sewage discharge pipe section131 are docked and communicated, the first annular
flange 232 and the second annular flange 132 abut against each other in an axial direction,
and the snap connection element 3 locks the first annular flange 232 and the second
annular flange 132 to fixedly connect the toilet seat body 1 and the sewage discharge
box 21.
[0067] The first connection element 31 may be installed on the sewage intake pipe section
231 and limited by the first annular flange 232, and the second connection element
32 may be installed on the sewage discharge pipe section 131 and limited by the second
annular flange 132. The first connection element 31 and the second connection element
32 are snapped to lock the first annular flange 232 and the second annular flange
132, thereby fixedly connecting the toilet seat body 1 and the sewage discharge box
21.
[0068] In an exemplary embodiment, the toilet device further includes an anti-rotation structure
for limiting the rotation of the sewage discharge box 21 relative to the toilet seat
body 1.
[0069] The anti-rotation structure is provided between the sewage intake connection part
23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13 and the anti-rotation structure prevents
the sewage discharge box 21 from rotating.
[0070] The snap connection element 3 connects and fixes the sewage discharge connection
part 13 and the sewage intake connection part 23, and limits the sewage discharge
connection part 13 and the sewage intake connection part 23 in an axial direction,
so that the sewage discharge box 21 is prevented from being disengaged backward in
an axial direction relative to the toilet seat body 1. When the sewage discharge box
21 is subjected to a circumferential force, the snap connection element 3 has a certain
circumferential limitation effect. When the anti-rotation structure is provided between
the sewage intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13,
the sewage discharge box 21 may be prevented from rotating relative to the toilet
seat body 1 after being subjected to a circumferential force.
In this way, the sewage discharge box 21 may be completely fixed and limited, further
improving the circumferential limitation effect between the toilet seat body 1 and
the sewage discharge box 21, preventing the sewage discharge box 21 from moving or
rotating during working process, and ensuring a reliable working of the toilet device.
[0071] In an exemplary embodiment, a protruding part 133 is provided on one of the sewage
discharge connection part 13 and the sewage intake connection part 23, and an accommodation
groove 233 is provided on the other of the sewage discharge connection part 13 and
the sewage intake connection part 23, and the anti-rotation structure includes the
protruding part 133 and the accommodation groove 233, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 13.
Alternatively, the sewage discharge connection part 13 is provided with a first limiting
hole, and the sewage intake connection part 23 is provided with a second limiting
hole (not shown in the figure). The anti-rotation structure includes a limiting element,
and the limiting element passes through the first limiting hole and the second limiting
hole along an axial direction of the sewage intake connection part 23, so as to limit
a rotation of the sewage intake connection part 23 relative to the sewage discharge
connection part 13.
[0072] The anti-rotation structure may have a variety of forms. For example, a protruding
part 133 is provided on the sewage intake connection part 23, and an accommodating
groove 233 is provided on the sewage intake connection part 23. The protruding part
133 is clamped into the accommodating groove 233, so as to limit a relative rotation
between the sewage discharge mechanism 2 and the toilet seat body 1.
[0073] Alternatively, the limiting element penetrates into the first limiting hole of the
sewage discharge connection part 13 and the second connection hole of the sewage intake
connection part 23 in an axial direction, so as to limit the relative rotation between
the sewage discharge mechanism 2 and the toilet seat body 1.
[0074] In an exemplary embodiment, at least one of the sewage intake connection part 23
and the sewage discharge connection part 13 is provided with a first installation
groove, a first sealing element is provided in the first installation groove, and
the first sealing element abuts against an axial end face of the sewage intake connection
part 23 and an axial end face of the sewage discharge connection part 13 to form an
end face seal. And/or at least one of the sewage intake connection part 23 and sewage
discharge connection part 13 is provided with a second installation groove, a second
sealing element is provided in the second installation groove, and the second sealing
element abuts against a radial inner end of the sewage intake connection part 23 and
a radial outer end of the sewage discharge connection part 13 to form a radial seal.
[0075] As shown in FIG. 12, the toilet device further includes a sealing element 4 provided
between the sewage intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part
13.
[0076] The provision of the sealing element 4 between the sewage intake connection part
23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13, together with the clamping force provided
by the snap connection element 3, can further improve the sealability between the
sewage intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13. This
ensures that a phenomenon of water leakage, returning of odor or the like will not
occur at the connection between the sewage intake connection part 23 and the sewage
discharge connection part 13.
[0077] The sealing element 4 may function as a static seal. For example, the sealing element
may be made of a rubber material.
[0078] The sealing form of the sealing element 4 may be an end face seal, a radial seal,
or may have an end face seal and a radial seal.
[0079] For the end face seal, the first installation groove may be provided on the sewage
intake connection part 23, the sealing element 4 is installed in the first installation
groove in an axial direction, and the sewage discharge connection part 13 abuts against
the sealing element 4 in the first installation groove. After connecting the sewage
intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13, the snap connection
element 3 may exert a certain compression effect on the sealing element 4. In other
words, the snap connection element 3 may make the sealing element 4 in a compressed
state, so as to improve the sealing effect of the sealing element 4.
[0080] For the radial seal, the second installation groove may be provided on the sewage
intake connection part 23, the sealing element 4 is installed into the second sealing
groove in a radial direction, and the sewage discharge connection part 13 abuts against
the sealing element 4 in the second installation groove. In the radial direction,
there may be a clearance fit between the sewage intake connection part 23 and the
sewage discharge connection part 13, and the sealing element 4 may be installed in
the second installation groove with interference. In other words, the sealing element
4 is compressed by an inner sidewall of the sewage intake connection part 23 and an
outer sidewall of the sewage discharge connection part 13, so that the sealing element
4 is in a compressed state, so as to improve the sealing effect of the sealing element
4.
[0081] In the toilet device provided by an embodiment of the present application, the connection
between the toilet seat body 1 and the sewage discharge mechanism 2 is simply and
reliably realized by a snapping connection between the child buckle and the mother
buckle.
In an actual operation, a locking and unlocking may be realized by rotating the snapping
element in the first connection element 31, which is convenient to disassemble and
assemble, and convenient to repair and disassemble.
[0082] The sealing element 4 is placed between the toilet seat body 1 and the sewage discharge
box 21, and the sewage discharge box 21 and the toilet seat body 1 are tightened and
fixed by the snap connection element 3. In this way, the sealing element 4 maintains
a large compression amount, and a poor sealing caused by a large fluctuation of a
ceramic size of the toilet seat body 1 is reduced.
[0083] The toilet device may also include a shifter 51, the shifter 51 is located below
the sewage discharge mechanism 2, an inlet of the shifter 51 is communicated with
an outlet of the sewage discharge box 21, and an outlet of the shifter 51 is communicated
with an external sewage discharge pipeline. A brush ring water outlet 52 is installed
on the toilet seat body 1, and the brush ring water outlet 52 is fixed on the toilet
seat body 1 to flush water into the toilet device.
[0084] Further, the sewage discharge pipe 22 forms a dynamic seal with the sewage discharge
box 21 by an oil seal. The sewage discharge pipe 22 and the sewage discharge box 21
may be plastic elements, so as to ensure the sealing accuracy, prevent water leakage
and returning of odor, and solve the problems of poor sealing, water leakage and returning
of odor.
[0085] A toilet device is provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown
in FIGS. 17 to 27, the toilet device includes a toilet seat body 1, a sewage discharge
mechanism 2, and a clamp connection element 6. The toilet seat body 1 is provided
with a toilet bowl
11 and a sewage discharge outlet 262, and a sewage discharge connection part 13 is provided
on an outer periphery of the sewage discharge outlet 262. The sewage discharge connection
part 13 is located outside the toilet bowl 11. An end of the sewage discharge outlet
262 is communicated with the toilet bowl 11, and the other end of the sewage discharge
outlet 262 is communicated with a channel in the sewage discharge connection part
13. The sewage discharge mechanism 2 includes a sewage discharge box 21, and a sewage
inlet of the sewage discharge box 21 is communicated with the channel. A sewage intake
connection part 23 is provided on an outer periphery of the sewage inlet and is docked
and communicated with the sewage discharge connection part 13 in the axial direction,
and the sewage intake connection part 23 is protruded on an outer wall of the sewage
discharge box 21. The clamp connection element 6 is sleeved outside the sewage intake
connection part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13, and clamps and fixes
the sewage intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13,
so that the toilet seat body 1 and the sewage discharge box 21 are fixedly connected.
[0086] The sewage discharge mechanism 2 may also include a sewage discharge pipe 22 located
in the sewage discharge box 21, and the sewage discharge pipe 22 is communicated with
the sewage inlet and rotatable relative to the sewage discharge box 21 for sewage
discharge. The sewage discharge pipe 22 and the sewage discharge box 21 may be plastic
elements, and the toilet seat body 1 may be made of a ceramic material. Further in
some cases, the toilet seat body 1 may also be made of a plastic material, and the
sewage discharge connection part 13 of the toilet seat body 1 may be partially made
of a plastic material.
[0087] A contact area between the clamp connection element 6 and the sewage discharge connection
part 13 and the sewage intake connection part 13 is large and it is not easy for a
local connection to be damaged by force. The clamp connection element 6 is a 360°
connection in a circumferential direction, in other words, the clamp connection element
has an annular structure. Compared with the way that only several bolts or other members
are arranged in the circumferential direction for connection, an annular clamp connection
element 6 may effectively avoid stress concentration. That is, when the clamp connection
element 6 is used for connection, outer edges of the sewage discharge connection part
13 and the sewage intake connection part 23 are uniformly stressed instead of stressing
only at a few points, and the stress on the sewage discharge connection part 13 and
the sewage intake connection part 23 are more uniform and dispersed. This prevents
the stress from concentrating on one or several local points, thereby protecting integrity
of the toilet seat body 1 and the sewage discharge box 21.
[0088] Since the clamp connection element 6 is a 360° connection in the circumferential
direction, it is not necessary to provide multiple clamp connection elements 6 like
other connectors (for example, bolts) to improve the connection effect. One clamp
connection element 6 can ensure a reliable connection, and the sewage discharge connection
part 13 and the sewage intake connection part 23 are aligned in the axial direction.
[0089] In the toilet device provided by an embodiment of the present application, the toilet
seat body 1 and the sewage discharge box 21 are fixedly connected by means of the
clamp connection element 6. The clamp connection element 6 is convenient to install,
has good positioning and connection effects, and makes the end faces of the sewage
discharge connection part 13 and the sewage intake connection part 23 more tightly
bonded, so as to avoid a large gap at the connection between the toilet seat body
1 and the sewage discharge box 21, and avoid the problems of water leakage and returning
of odor.
[0090] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 19, 20, 22 and 26, the sewage discharge
connection part 13 includes a sewage discharge pipe section 131 and a second annular
flange 132 provided on an outer sidewall of the sewage discharge pipe section 131,
and the sewage intake connection part 23 includes a sewage intake pipe section 231
and a first annular flange 232 provided on an outer sidewall of the sewage intake
pipe section 231. The sewage intake pipe section 231 is docked and communicated with
the sewage discharge pipe section 131. The clamp connection element 6 includes a clamp
main body 63, a first limiting flange 61, and a second limiting flange 62. The first
limiting flange 61 and the second limiting flange 62 are respectively connected to
two axial ends of the clamp main body 63, and extend toward an inner side of the clamp
main body 63. The clamp main body 63 is sleeved outside the second annular flange
132 and the first annular flange 232. The second annular flange 132 and the first
annular flange 232 are located between the first limiting flange 61 and the second
limiting flange 62, and are clamped and fixed by the first limiting flange 61 and
the second limiting flange 62.
[0091] The sewage discharge pipe section 131 and the second annular flange 132 provided
on the outer sidewall of the sewage discharge pipe section 131 form the sewage discharge
connection part 13, and the sewage intake pipe section 231 and the first annular flange
232 provided on the sewage intake pipe section 231 form the sewage intake connection
part 23. The sewage intake pipe section 231 is docked and communicated with the sewage
discharge pipe section 131, so that the sewage in the toilet bowl 11 enters the sewage
intake pipe section 231 through the sewage discharge pipe section 131, and then enters
the subsequent external sewage discharge pipeline. The sewage intake pipe section
231 and sewage discharge pipe section 131 may be located in the same straight line
so that sewage may smoothly enter the sewage intake pipe section 231 from the sewage
discharge pipe section 131.
[0092] The clamp connection element 6 connects the second annular flange 132 and the first
annular flange 232, thereby fixedly connecting the sewage discharge connection part
13 and the sewage intake connection part 23. The clamp connection element 6 includes
a clamp main body 63, a first limiting flange 61, and a second limiting flange 62.
The clamp main body 63, the first limiting flange 61, and the second limiting flange
62 enclose a limiting groove with a U-shaped cross section for clamping and fixing
the second annular flange 132 and the first annular flange 232. The clamp main body
63, the second annular flange 132, and the first annular flange 232 may all be annular.
[0093] When the clamp connection element 6 is used for clamping and fixing, the first limiting
flange 61 and the second limiting flange 62 abut against the second annular flange
132 and the first annular flange 232 in an axial direction, respectively, to limit
a separation of the second annular flange 132 and the first annular flange 232 in
the axial direction, and the clamp connection element 6 may also limit the misalignment
of the second annular flange 132 and the first annular flange 232 in a radial direction.
In other words, the clamp connection element 6 may realize the limitation of the relative
positional relationship between the sewage discharge connection part 13 and the sewage
intake connection part 23 without other auxiliary limiting elements. A rotation limiting
structure (such as a subsequent anti-rotation structure) may be further provided on
the clamp connection element 6, so that it may ensure that the relative position between
the sewage discharge connection part 13 and the sewage intake connection part 23 is
determined, and there will be no relative rotation.
[0094] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG. 22, the second annular flange 132 abuts
against the first annular flange 232 in the axial direction, and an outer sidewall
of the second annular flange 132 is flush with an outer sidewall of the first annular
flange 232.
[0095] The second annular flange 132 abuts against the first annular flange 232 in the axial
direction, so that an axial distance between the second annular flange 132 and the
first annular flange 232 may be shortened to reduce an axial size of the clamp connection
element 6.
[0096] The outer sidewall of the second annular flange 132 is flush with the outer sidewall
of the first annular flange 232. In other words, radial dimensions of the second annular
flange 132 and the first annular flange 232 are set to be the same, so that the clamp
connection element 6 may better clamp and fix the second annular flange 132 and the
first annular flange 232, and forces on the second annular flange 132 and the first
annular flange 232 are the same and uniform.
[0097] In some cases, there may also be a gap between the second annular flange 132 and
the first annular flange 232 rather than a tight abutment. For example, an annular
protrusion is provided on an end face of one of the annular flanges as a sealing structure;
or, a sealing gasket or the like is provided between the axial end faces of the second
annular flange 132 and the first annular flange 232. At this time, it is sufficient
to increase an axial length of the clamp connection element 6 accordingly, and the
present application is not limited to this.
[0098] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG. 22, an end of the second annular flange
132 away from the toilet bowl 11 encloses an installation groove 263 with the sewage
discharge pipe section 131. The first annular flange 232 is located at an end of the
sewage intake pipe section 231 close to the toilet bowl 11, and the sewage intake
pipe section 231 is at least partially sleeved outside the sewage discharge pipe section
131 so that the first annular flange 232 is at least partially located in the installation
groove 263 and abuts against the second annular flange 132.
[0099] The end of the second annular flange 132 away from the toilet bowl 11 encloses the
installation groove 263 with the sewage discharge pipe section 131. In other words,
the sewage discharge pipe section 131 extends out of the second annular flange 132
in the axial direction, and then forms an installation groove 263 with an end of the
second annular flange 132. The installation groove 263 may be a stepped groove, the
installation groove 263 is provided as open at an end facing the first annular flange
232, and a radial outer end of the installation groove 263 is provided as open. The
sewage intake pipe section 231 may be sleeved on the sewage discharge pipe section
131 for easy assembly. During an installation process of the sewage discharge mechanism
2, the sewage intake pipe section 231 is first sleeved on the sewage discharge pipe
section 131. At this time, the sewage discharge pipe section 131 may play a certain
supporting role on the sewage intake pipe section 231, so as to prevent the operator
from holding the sewage discharge box 21 for a long time, reduce labor intensity,
and facilitate the operator to install the clamp connection element 6 at the connection
between the second annular flange 132 and the first annular flange 232.
[0100] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG. 22, a sealing groove 265 is provided
on an inner sidewall of an end of the sewage intake pipe section 231 close to the
toilet bowl 11. The sealing groove 265 is provided as open at an end facing the second
annular flange 132, a radial inner end of the sealing groove 265 is provided as open,
and a sealing element 4 is provided in the sealing groove 265. An end of the sealing
element 4 close to the second annular flange 132 abuts against the second annular
flange 132 and a radial inner end of the sealing element 4 abuts against an outer
sidewall of the sewage discharge pipe section 131.
[0101] A sealing groove 265 is provided on the sewage intake pipe section 231 for installing
the sealing element 4, so as to improve the sealability of the connection between
the sewage discharge connection part 13 and the sewage intake connection part 23,
and prevent water leakage and returning of odor at the connection.
[0102] The sealing groove 265 is provided as open at an end facing the second annular flange
132, and a radial inner end of the sealing groove 265 is provided as open. In other
words, the sealing groove 265 is open on two sides and is in a form of a stepped groove.
[0103] Four faces of the sealing element 4 located in the sealing groove 265 abut to realize
the axial sealing and the radial sealing simultaneously, which simplifies the sealing
structure and improves the sealing effect.
[0104] In an exemplary embodiment, a distance between the first limiting flange 61 and the
second limiting flange 62 is gradually increased in a radially inward direction; or,
the radial inner end of the first limiting flange 61 and the radial inner end of the
second limiting flange 62 are provided with guidance ramps.
[0105] The distance between the first limiting flange 61 and the second limiting flange
62 is gradually increased. In other words, an opening of the clamp connection element
6 is gradually increased, so that the clamp connection element 6 is sleeved outside
the second annular flange 132 and the first annular flange 232 to avoid installation
difficulties due to dimensional errors during installation.
[0106] Altematively, guidance ramps may also be provided at a radial inner end of the first
limiting flange 61 and a radial inner end of the second limiting flange 62 to facilitate
installation of the clamp connection element 6. In other words, guidance ramps are
provided at a radial inner end of the first limiting flange 61 and a radial inner
end of the second limiting flange 62, so that an opening size of the clamp connection
element 6 is increased with a reduction in a radial size. That is, for the limiting
groove on the clamp connection element 6, the opening size (width) is greater than
the groove bottom size (width), so as to smoothly sleeve the clamp connection element
6 outside the second annular flange 132 and the first annular flange 232, and connect
and fix the second annular flange 132 and the first annular flange 232.
[0107] In an exemplary embodiment, the clamp connection element 6 includes multiple sub-clamps,
and the multiple sub-clamps are spliced along the circumferential direction of the
clamp connection element 6 to form an annular structure.
[0108] The clamp connection element 6 may include two sub-clamps. As shown in FIG. 20, the
clamp connection element 6 includes a first sub-clamp 64 and a second sub-clamp 66,
a first end of the first sub-clamp 64 is detachably connected to a first end of the
second sub-clamp 66, and a second end of the first sub-clamp 64 is hinged or detachably
connected to a second end of the second sub-clamp 66. The first sub-clamp 64 and the
second sub-clamp 66 are fastened to form a complete annular ring, so as to limit and
fix the sewage discharge connection part 13 and the sewage intake connection part
23.
[0109] The first end of the first sub-clamp 64 is provided with a first installation part
641 extending outward in the radial direction, the first end of the second sub-clamp
66 is provided with a second installation part 661 extending outward in the radial
direction, and the first installation part 641 is connected to the second installation
part 661. The second end of the first sub-clamp 64 is provided with a third installation
part 642 extending outward in the radial direction, the second end of the second sub-clamp
66 is provided with a fourth installation part 662 extending outward in the radial
direction, and the third installation part 642 is connected to the fourth installation
part 662.
[0110] The first installation part 641 is provided with a first connection hole, and the
second installation part 661 is provided with a second connection hole. A first fastener
65 passes through the first connection hole and the second connection hole to fixedly
connect the first installation part 641 and the second installation part 661. The
third installation part 642 is provided with a third connection hole and the fourth
installation part 662 is provided with a fourth connection hole. A second fastener
67 passes through the third connection hole and the fourth connection hole to fixedly
connect the third installation part 642 and the fourth installation part 662.
[0111] In an exemplary embodiment, the toilet device further includes an anti-rotation structure
for limiting the rotation of the sewage discharge box 21 relative to the toilet seat
body 1.
[0112] An anti-rotation structure is provided between the sewage intake connection part
23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13, and the anti-rotation structure prevents
the sewage discharge box 21 from rotating.
[0113] The clamp connection element 6 connects and fixes the sewage discharge connection
part 13 and the sewage intake connection part 23, and limits the sewage discharge
connection part 13 and the sewage intake connection part 23 in an axial direction,
so that the sewage discharge box 21 may be prevented from being disengaged backward
in the axial direction relative to the toilet seat body 1. The clamp connection element
6 limits the sewage discharge connection part 13 and the sewage intake connection
part 23 in a radial direction, so that the sewage discharge box 21 and the toilet
seat body 1 may be prevented from being misaligned in the radial direction. Combined
with the anti-rotation structure, the clamp connection element 6 limits the sewage
discharge connection part 13 and the sewage intake connection part 23 in a circumferential
direction, so that the sewage discharge box 21 may be prevented from rotating relative
to the toilet seat body 1, and the working of the toilet device is guaranteed to be
reliable.
[0114] In an exemplary embodiment, one of the sewage discharge connection part 13 and the sewage
intake connection part 23 is provided with a protruding part, and the other of the
sewage discharge connection part 13 and the sewage intake connection part 23 is provided
with a mating groove, and the anti-rotation structure includes the protruding part
and the mating groove (not shown in the figure). Alternatively, the sewage discharge
connection part 13 is provided with a first limiting hole, the sewage intake connection
part 23 is provided with a second limiting hole, the anti-rotation structure includes
a limiting element, and the limiting element passes through the first limiting hole
and the second limiting hole along an axial direction of the sewage intake connection
part 23, so as to limit the rotation of the sewage intake connection part 23 relative
to the sewage discharge connection part 13 (not shown in the figure). Alternatively,
as shown in FIGS. 23 and 24, a non-circular first anti-rotation wall surface 261 is
provided on an outer wall of the sewage discharge connection part 13, a non-circular
second anti-rotation wall surface 264 is provided on the sewage intake connection
part 23, and a third anti-rotation wall surface that cooperates with the first anti-rotation
wall surface 261 and the second anti-rotation wall surface 264 is provided on an inner
sidewall of the clamp connection element 6. The anti-rotation structure includes the
first anti-rotation wall surface 261, the second anti-rotation wall surface 264, and
the third anti-rotation wall surface.
[0115] The anti-rotation structure may have a variety of forms. For example, a protruding
part is provided on the sewage discharge connection part 13, and a mating groove is
provided on the sewage intake connection part 23, and the protruding part is inserted
into the mating groove, so as to limit a circumferential rotation of the sewage intake
connection part 23 (sewage discharge box 21) relative to the sewage discharge connection
part 13.
[0116] Alternatively, a first limiting hole is provided in the sewage discharge connection
part 13, and a second limiting hole is provided in the sewage intake connection part
23. A limiting element passes through the first limiting hole and the second limiting
hole in the axial direction, so as to limit a circumferential rotation of the sewage
intake connection part 23 (sewage discharge box 21) relative to the sewage discharge
connection part 13.
[0117] Alternatively, a third anti-rotation wall surface is provided on an inner sidewall
of the clamp connection element 6, and a first anti-rotation wall surface 261 and
a second anti-rotation wall surface 264 are provided on the sewage discharge connection
part 13 and the sewage intake connection part 23, respectively. The first anti-rotation
wall surface 261, the second anti-rotation wall surface 264, and the third anti-rotation
wall surface are all non-circular wall surfaces, and the third anti-rotation wall
surface abuts against the first anti-rotation wall surface 261 and the second anti-rotation
wall surface 264 in a radial direction. That is, the clamp connection element 6 limits
a relative rotation between the sewage intake connection part 23 (sewage discharge
box 21) and the sewage discharge connection part 13.
[0118] In an exemplary embodiment, a first installation groove is provided on at least one
of the sewage intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13,
a first sealing element is provided in the first installation groove, and the first
sealing element abuts against an axial end face of the sewage intake connection part
23 and an axial end face of the sewage discharge connection part 13 to form an end
face seal. And/or a second installation groove is provided on at least one of the
sewage intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13, a second
sealing element is provided in the second installation groove, and the second sealing
element abuts against a radial inner end of the sewage intake connection part 23 and
a radial outer end of the sewage discharge connection part 13 to form a radial seal.
[0119] The toilet device also includes a sealing element provided between the sewage intake
connection part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13. The provision of the
sealing element between the sewage intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge
connection part 13, together with the clamping force provided by the clamp connection
element 6, may further improve the sealability between the sewage intake connection
part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13, and ensure that a phenomenon
of water leakage, returning of odor or the like will not occur at the connection between
the sewage intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13.
[0120] The sealing element may function as a static seal. For example, the sealing element
may be made of a rubber material.
[0121] The sealing form of the sealing element may be an end face seal, a radial seal, or
may have a end face seal and radial seal (for example, the sealing element 4 in the
sealing groove 265 as described above) simultaneously.
[0122] For the end face seal, a first installation groove may be provided on the sewage
intake connection part 23, the sealing element is installed in the first installation
groove in an axial direction, and the sewage discharge connection part 13 abuts against
the sealing element in the first installation groove. After connecting the sewage
intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13, the clamp connection
element 6 may exert a certain compression effect on the sealing element, in other
words, the clamp connection element 6 may make the sealing element in a compressed
state, so as to improve the sealing effect of the sealing element.
[0123] For the radial seal, the second installation groove may be provided on the sewage
intake connection part 23, the sealing element is installed into the second installation
groove in the radial direction, and the sewage discharge connection part 13 abuts
against the sealing element in the second installation groove. In the radial direction,
there may be a clearance fit between the sewage intake connection part 23 and the
sewage discharge connection part 13, and the sealing element may be installed in the
second installation groove with interference. In other words, the sealing element
is compressed by an inner sidewall of the sewage intake connection part 23 and an
outer sidewall of the sewage discharge connection part 13, so that the sealing element
is in a compressed state, so as to improve the sealing effect of the sealing element.
[0124] The toilet device may also include a shifter 51, the shifter 51 is located below
the sewage discharge mechanism, an inlet of the shifter 51 is communicated with an
outlet of the sewage discharge box 21, and an outlet of the shifter 51 is communicated
with the external sewage discharge pipeline 22. A brush ring water outlet 52 is installed
on the toilet seat body 1, and the brush ring water outlet 52 is fixed on the toilet
seat body 1 to flush water into the toilet device.
[0125] Further, the sewage discharge pipe 22 forms a dynamic seal with the sewage discharge
box 21 by an oil seal. The sewage discharge pipe 22 and the sewage discharge box 21
may be plastic elements, so as to ensure the sealing accuracy, prevent water leakage
and returning of odor, and solve the problems of poor sealing, water leakage and returning
of odor.
[0126] In the toilet device provided by an embodiment of the present application, a guidance
structure is provided between the sewage discharge connection part and the sewage
intake connection part. The guidance structure is configured to guide the sewage intake
connection part to move from a setting start position to a setting end position relative
to the sewage discharge connection part, so that the sewage intake connection part
is sleeved on the sewage discharge connection part and is limited to the sewage discharge
connection part.
[0127] In the toilet provided by an embodiment of the present application, the toilet seat
body 1 and the sewage discharge box 21 are fixedly connected through a guidance structure.
The connection mode is simple and easy to operate, the fixation is tight, and the
connection effect is good. End faces of the sewage discharge connection part 13 and
the sewage intake connection part 23 are tightly bonded, and a tight connection is
convenient. For example, the sealing property may be further improved by adding a
sealing element 4 between the sewage intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge
connection part 13, so as to avoid the problems of water leakage and returning of
odor.
[0128] Compared with a connection by members such as bolts, the toilet provided by an embodiment
of the present application may solve the problems of a large number of parts in the
connection structure, parts that are easy to be scattered and lost during construction,
and the need for other auxiliary tools for installation. The toilet provided by an
embodiment of the present application does not add additional separate connection
member, and does not need a special installation tool, and may be installed with bare
hands, which is convenient for the operator to install and construct.
[0129] In an actual operation, the sewage intake connection part 23 may be a plastic element.
After the sewage discharge connection part 13 and the sewage intake connection part
23 are connected by the guidance structure, a certain pretension force may be formed
between the sewage discharge connection part 13 and the sewage intake connection part
23, so that the sewage intake connection part 23 may be slightly deformed, and the
sewage discharge connection part 13 may be more tightly bonded, thereby improving
the sealability.
[0130] The sewage intake connection part 23 is provided at the sewage inlet 211 of the sewage
discharge box 21 and the sewage discharge connection part 13 is provided at the sewage
outlet 12 of the toilet seat body 1. The sewage intake connection part 23 and the
sewage discharge connection part 13 are provided for easy connection. The connection
between the toilet seat body 1 and the sewage discharge box 21 may be realized by
a fixed connection between the sewage intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge
connection part 13. The connection structure is simplified, and the connection between
the main structures of the toilet seat body 1 and the sewage discharge box 21 through
hole punching or other methods is avoided, which is efficient and practical.
[0131] The guidance structure is configured to guide the sewage intake connection part 23
to move from the setting start position to the setting end position relative to the
sewage discharge connection part 13. In other words, the sewage intake connection
part 23 is detachably connected to the sewage discharge connection part 13, and the
sewage intake connection part 23 is installed to the sewage discharge connection part
13 under an action of the guidance structure, and is limited and fixed, so that the
toilet seat body 1 is fixedly connected to the sewage discharge mechanism 2.
[0132] Here, the guidance structure plays a guidance role. For example, an operator can
provide power to make the sewage intake connection part 23 move in positions (such
as axial movement and circumferential rotation) so that the sewage discharge connection
part 13 is connected.
[0133] In an exemplary embodiment, the guidance structure is configured to guide the sewage
intake connection part 23 to be inserted into the sewage discharge connection part
13 in an axial direction of the sewage intake connection part 23 from the setting
start position, and then rotate to the setting end position relative to the sewage
discharge connection part 13 in the circumferential direction of the sewage intake
connection part 23.
[0134] The guidance structure is configured to guide the sewage intake connection part 23
to be inserted into the sewage discharge connection part 13 in the axial direction
of the sewage intake connection part 23 from the setting start position. In other
words, the sewage intake connection part 23 is approached axially relative to the
sewage discharge connection part 13 along the guidance structure so as to be inserted
into the sewage discharge connection part 13.
[0135] The guidance structure then guides the sewage intake connection part 23 to rotate
to the setting end position relative to the sewage discharge connection part 13 in
the circumferential direction of the sewage intake connection part 23. In other words,
after the sewage intake connection part 23 are inserted into and connected with the
sewage discharge connection part 13, the sewage intake connection part 23 rotates
at a certain angle in the circumferential direction to lock the sewage discharge connection
part 13 and the sewage intake connection part 23, so as to prevent the sewage intake
connection part 23 from retreating in an opposite direction of the axial direction
and separating from the sewage discharge connection part 13.
[0136] The sewage intake connection part 23 guided by the guidance structure moves first
in the axial direction and then rotates in the circumferential direction, which not
only ensures the reliable connection between the sewage intake connection part 23
and the sewage discharge connection part 13, but also makes the operation simple and
the installation fast in the actual assembly, thus improving the assembly efficiency.
[0137] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 36 to 38, the guidance structure includes
a guidance groove 1311, a rotation groove 1312, a stopper protrusion 1313, and a guidance
protrusion 2311. One of the sewage discharge connection part 13 and the sewage intake
connection part 23 is provided with the guidance groove 1311, the rotation groove
1312, and the stopper protrusion 1313, and the other of the sewage discharge connection
part 13 and the sewage intake connection part 23 is provided with the guidance protrusion
2311. The guidance groove 1311 and the rotation groove 1312 are communicated and provided
adjacent to each other in the axial direction of the sewage intake connection part
23. The stopper protrusion 1313 and the guidance groove 1311 are provided adjacent
to each other in the circumferential direction of the sewage intake connection part
23. The guidance groove 1311 is used for the guidance protrusion 2311 to pass through
the guidance groove 1311 in the axial direction of the sewage intake connection part
23 from the setting start position to enter the rotation groove 1312. The rotation
groove 1312 is used for the guidance protrusion 2311 to rotate relative to the sewage
discharge connection part 13 in the circumferential direction of the sewage intake
connection part 23. The stopper protrusion 1313 is configured to cooperate with the
guidance protrusion 2311 in a stop manner when the guidance protrusion 2311 rotates
to the setting end position, so as to prevent the sewage intake connection part 23
from being disengaged from the sewage discharge connection part, so that the sewage
intake connection part 23 is limited to the sewage discharge connection part 13.
[0138] The guidance groove 1311, the rotation groove 1312, and the stopper protrusion 1313
may be provided on the sewage discharge connection part 13, and the rotation groove
1312 is provided on a side of the guidance groove 1311 away from the sewage intake
connection part 23, and the rotation groove 1312 is communicated with the guidance
groove 1311. The guidance protrusion 2311 moves within the guidance groove 1311 into
the rotation groove 1312 in the axial direction, and the guidance protrusion 2311
rotates circumferentially within the rotation groove 1312 to the setting end position
to prevent the guidance protrusion 2311 from being disengaged from the guidance groove
1311 again. When the guidance protrusion 2311 rotates circumferentially within the
rotation groove 1312 to the setting end position, the stopper protrusion 1313 abuts
against the guidance protrusion 2311 in the axial direction to prevent the guidance
protrusion 2311 from retreating and being disengaged in the axial direction, thereby
firmly connecting the sewage intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge connection
part 13.
[0139] The guidance protrusion 2311 is provided on the sewage intake connection part 23,
and the guidance protrusion 2311 cooperates with the guidance groove 1311 and the
rotation groove 1312.
[0140] In addition to the above-described arrangement mode, the guidance groove 1311, the
rotation groove 1312, and the stopper protrusion 1313 may be provided on the sewage
intake connection part 23, and the guidance protrusion 2311 may be provided on the
sewage discharge connection part 13.
[0141] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG. 36, the sewage intake connection part
23 is sleeved outside the sewage discharge connection part 13. The sewage discharge
connection part 13 includes a sewage discharge pipe section 1314 and a second annular
flange 132 provided on an outer sidewall of the sewage discharge pipe section 1314.
The second annular flange 132 is provided with a notch, the notch forms the guidance
groove 1311, and a portion adjacent to the notch on the second annular flange 132
forms the stopper protrusion 1313. An end of the second annular flange 132 close to
the toilet bowl 11 and the sewage discharge pipe section 1314 enclose the rotation
groove 1312. The guidance protrusion 2311 is provided on an inner sidewall of the
sewage intake connection part 23.
[0142] As shown in FIG. 36, the notch may be provided on an outer circumferential surface
of the second annular flange 132, and the notch penetrates the second annular flange
132 in an axial direction so that the guidance protrusion 2311 passes through the
notch into the rotation groove 1312. Multiple notches are uniformly provided in the
circumferential direction of the second annular flange 132, for example, three notches
may be provided.
[0143] The sewage intake connection part 23 is sleeved outside the sewage discharge connection
part 13, and the guidance protrusion 2311 is provided on an inner sidewall of the
sewage intake connection part 23. The guidance groove 1311 and the rotation groove
1312 are provided on an outer sidewall of the sewage discharge connection part 13.
[0144] The sewage discharge connection part 13 includes the sewage discharge pipe section
1314 and the second annular flange 132, the second annular flange 132 may be of an
integrated structure, multiple notches are uniformly provided in the circumferential
direction of the second annular flange 132, and multiple guidance protrusions 2311
are provided correspondingly on an inner sidewall of the sewage intake connection
part 23. The stopper protrusion 1313 is located between adjacent notches.
[0145] The rotation groove 1312 may be a 360° annular groove.
[0146] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG. 38, the guidance protrusion 2311 is
provided at an end of the inner sidewall of the sewage intake connection part 23 close
to the toilet bowl 11.
[0147] The guidance protrusion 2311 is provided at an end of the sewage intake connection
part 23 to facilitate cooperation with the guidance groove 1311 and the rotation groove
1312 of the sewage discharge connection part 13.
[0148] In an exemplary embodiment, the toilet also includes an anti-rotation structure for
limiting the rotation of the sewage discharge box 21 relative to the toilet seat body
1.
[0149] An anti-rotation structure is provided between the sewage intake connection part
23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13, and the anti-rotation structure prevents
the sewage discharge box 21 from rotating.
[0150] A guidance mechanism connects and fixes the sewage discharge connection part 13 and
the sewage intake connection part 23, and limits the sewage discharge connection part
13 and the sewage intake connection part 23 in the axial direction. After the guidance
protrusion passes through the guidance groove 1311 and enters into the rotation groove,
the sewage intake connection part 23 rotates at a certain angle, so that the stopper
protrusion 1313 abuts against the guidance protrusion 2311 in the axial direction,
the guidance protrusion 2311 is prevented from retreating and being disengaged in
the axial direction, and the sewage intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge
connection part 13 are firmly connected. In this way, a limitation and fixation of
the sewage discharge connection part 13 and the sewage intake connection part 23 in
the axial direction is realized. However, when the sewage discharge box 21 is subjected
to a circumferential force, the guidance mechanism does not provide a circumferential
limitation. When the anti-rotation structure is provided between the sewage intake
connection part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13, the sewage discharge
box 21 can be prevented from rotating relative to the toilet seat body 1 after being
subjected to the circumferential force, so that the sewage discharge box 21 may be
completely fixed and limited, and the sewage discharge box 21 can be prevented from
moving or rotating during working process, thereby ensuring a reliable working of
the toilet.
[0151] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 29, 30, 31, 34, and 36, the sewage
discharge connection part 13 is provided with a first limiting hole 1316, the sewage
intake connection part 23 is provided with a second limiting hole 2312, and the anti-rotation
structure includes a limiting element 7. The limiting element 7 passes through the
first limiting hole 1316 and the second limiting hole 2312 in the axial direction
of the sewage intake connection part 23 to limit the rotation of the sewage intake
connection part 23 relative to the sewage discharge connection part 13.
[0152] After the sewage intake connection part 23 is inserted into and connected with the
sewage discharge connection part 13, the sewage intake connection part 23 is rotated
at a certain angle in the circumferential direction so that the sewage discharge connection
part 13 and the sewage intake connection part 23 are locked, and limited in the axial
direction. After the sewage intake connection part 23 moves from the setting start
position to the setting end position relative to the sewage discharge connection part
13, the first limiting hole 1316 and the second limiting hole 2312 are aligned in
the axial direction, and the limiting element 7 passes through the first limiting
hole 1316 and the second limiting hole 2312 to perform a circumferential limitation
so as to limit the rotation of the sewage intake connection part 23 relative to the
sewage discharge connection part 13.
[0153] The anti-rotation structure may also be in other forms. For example, a limiting groove
is provided in the rotation groove 1312, and a limiting part is provided on the guidance
protrusion 2311. After the guidance protrusion 2311 rotates at a certain angle along
the rotation groove 1312, the limiting part is clamped into the limiting groove to
achieve limiting, so as to limit a further rotation of the sewage intake connection
part 23 relative to the sewage discharge connection part 13.
[0154] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG. 36, based on that the sewage intake
connection part 23 is sleeved outside the sewage discharge connection part 13, an
outer sidewall of the sewage discharge connection part 13 is provided with a protruding
part 133. The protruding part 133 is staggered with the guidance structure along the
axial direction of the sewage intake connection part 23. The protruding part 133 is
provided with the first limiting hole 1316, the sewage intake connection part 23 is
provided with the second limiting hole 2312, and an end of the second limiting hole
2312 extends to an end face of the sewage intake connection part 23 close to the toilet
bowl 11 to form an opening for installing the limiting element 7.
[0155] The protruding part 133 is additionally provided on the outer sidewall of the sewage
discharge connection part 13, and the protruding part 133 is used for opening the
first limiting hole 1316. The protruding part 133 is staggered with the guidance structure
along the axial direction, and protrudes from a side of the guidance structure away
from the sewage intake connection part 23.
[0156] The first limiting hole 1316 may also be provided in the stopper protrusion 1313.
[0157] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG. 31, the limiting element 7 includes
a limiting rod 71 and a push-pull protrusion 72 provided on the limiting rod 71, and
the push-pull protrusion 72 is configured to drive the limiting rod 71 to move in
the axial direction of the sewage intake connection part 23.The sewage intake connection
part 23 is further provided with a push-pull groove 2313, an end of the push-pull
groove 2313 communicates with the second limiting hole 2312, and the other end of
the push-pull groove 2313 penetrates the sewage intake connection part 23 along the
radial direction of the sewage intake connection part 23. The push-pull protrusion
72 is movably located in the push-pull groove 2313 and protrudes from the push-pull
groove 2313.
[0158] The limiting element 7 may include the limiting rod 71 and the push-pull protrusion
72 provided on the limiting rod 71, and the operator may move the limiting rod 71
in the axial direction by pushing the push-pull protrusion 72. A push-pull groove
2313 for sliding the push-pull protrusion 72 is further provided on the sewage intake
connection part 23.
[0159] An end of the push-pull groove 2313 communicates with the second limiting hole 2312,
and the other end of the push-pull groove 2313 extends to an outer circumferential
surface of the sewage intake connection part 23 in the radial direction of the sewage
intake connection part 23, and forms an opening on the outer circumferential surface.
In other words, the push-pull groove 2313 communicates with the second limiting hole
2312, so that the push-pull protrusion 72 moves along the axial direction of the push-pull
groove 2313 and may drive the limiting rod 71 to move along the axial direction of
the second limiting hole 2312.
[0160] In an exemplary embodiment, the limiting element 7 is configured to be movable between
a first position and a second position along the axial direction of the sewage intake
connection part 23. When the limiting element 7 is moved to the first position, the
limiting element 7 passes through the first limiting hole 1316 and the second limiting
hole 2312 to limit the rotation of the sewage intake connection part 23 relative to
the sewage discharge connection part 13. When the limiting element 7 is moved to the
second position, the limiting element 7 is disengaged from the first limiting hole
1316 and/or the second limiting hole 2312, so that the sewage intake connection part
23 may rotate relative to the sewage discharge connection part 13.
[0161] When the limiting element 7 is moved to the first position, that is, the limiting
element 7 is located in both the first limiting hole 1316 and the second limiting
hole 2312, the limiting rod 71 serves to limit the relative rotation between the sewage
discharge connection part 13 and the sewage intake connection part 23, so as to ensure
a reliable connection between the sewage discharge mechanism 2 and the toilet seat
body 1.
[0162] When the limiting element 7 is moved to the second position, that is, the limiting
rod 71 is moved to be located only in the first limiting hole 1316 or only in the
second limiting hole 2312 in the axial direction, the circumferential limitation is
removed to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the sewage discharge mechanism
2.
[0163] In an exemplary embodiment, the anti-rotation structure further includes an elastic
element 74 that cooperates with the limiting element 7. The elastic element 74 is
configured to position the limiting element 7 in the first position by using a reset
elastic force of the elastic element 74, as shown in FIG. 31. Alternatively, the anti-rotation
structure further includes a magnetic element (not shown in the figure) provided opposite
to the limiting element 7, and the magnetic element is configured to position the
limiting element 7 in the first position by using a magnetic field force of the magnetic
element.
[0164] The anti-rotation structure may also include an elastic element 74 or a magnetic
element that cooperates with the limiting element 7. The elastic element 74 or the
magnetic element applies a reset elastic force or magnetic field force to the limiting
element 7 so that the limiting element 7 is always in the first position. That is,
the limiting element 7 is always in both the first limiting hole 1316 and the second
limiting hole 2312, so as to limit a relative rotation between the sewage discharge
connection part 13 and the sewage intake connection part 23.
[0165] The elastic element 74 may be a spring, an end of the spring abuts against the limiting
element 7, and the other end of the spring abuts in the first limiting hole 1316 or
the second limiting hole 2312 so that the limiting element 7 is located in both the
first limiting hole 1316 and the second limiting hole 2312. The magnetic element may
be a magnet, the magnet is located in the first limiting hole 1316 or the second limiting
hole 2312, and an end of the limiting element 7 facing the magnet is provided as be
made of a magnetic material or a metal material. The magnetic element has a suction
force or a repulsion force on the limiting element 7 so that the limiting element
7 is located in both the first limiting hole 1316 and the second limiting hole 2312.
[0166] When the sewage discharge mechanism 2 needs to be disassembled, the operator manually
pushes the push-pull protrusion 72 to overcome the reset elastic force of the elastic
element 74 or the magnetic field force of the magnetic element, so that the limiting
rod 71 is moved to the second position.
[0167] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG. 31, the limiting element 7 includes
a limiting rod 71 and a first installation plate 73 provided on the limiting rod 71.
A first installation hole 731 is provided in the first installation plate 73. The
anti-rotation structure further includes a connection element 75. The connection element
75 passes through the first installation hole 731 to movably limit the limiting element
7 in the first limiting hole 1316 or the second limiting hole 2312, and prevents the
limiting element 7 from being disengaged from the first limiting hole 1316 or the
second limiting hole 2312. The connection element 75 may be a screw.
[0168] The limiting rod 71 may further be provided with a first installation plate 73, a
first installation hole 731 is provided on the first installation plate 73, and the
connection element 75 passes through the first installation hole 731 to movably limit
the limiting rod 71 in the first limiting hole 1316 or the second limiting hole 2312.
After the connection element 75 limits the limiting rod 71 by the first installation
plate 73, the limiting rod 71 may still be moved between the first position and the
second position in the axial direction, but the limiting rod 71 may be prevented from
falling out directly from the first limiting hole 1316 and the second limiting hole
2312.
[0169] As shown in FIG. 30, an accommodation groove 233 communicated with the second limiting
hole 2312 may be provided on the sewage intake connection part 23, and the first installation
plate 73 is installed in the accommodation groove 233.
[0170] After the first installation plate 73 is provided and fixed by the connection element
75, the limiting rod 71 may be prevented from falling out easily from the first limiting
hole 1316 or the second limiting hole 2312 during the actual installation process,
thereby preventing the operator from fixing the limiting rod 71 by hand, and facilitating
the operator to perform the installation work.
[0171] In an exemplary embodiment, at least one of the sewage intake connection part 23
and the sewage discharge connection part 13 is provided with a first installation
groove, a first sealing element 4 is provided in the first installation groove, and
the first sealing element 4 abuts against an axial end face of the sewage intake connection
part 23 and an axial end face of the sewage discharge connection part 13 to form an
end face seal. And/or, at least one of the sewage intake connection part 23 and the
sewage discharge connection part 13 is provided with a second installation groove,
a second sealing element 4 is provided in the second installation groove, and the
second sealing element 4 abuts against a radial inner end of the sewage intake connection
part 23 and a radial outer end of the sewage discharge connection part 13 to form
a radial seal.
[0172] As shown in FIG. 34, the toilet further includes the sealing element 4 provided between
the sewage intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13.
[0173] The provision of the sealing element 4 between the sewage intake connection part
23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13, together with a clamping force provided
by the guidance protrusion 2311 and the stopper protrusion 1313, can further improve
the sealability between the sewage intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge
connection part 13 to ensure that a phenomenon of water leakage, returning of odor
or the like will not occur at the connection between the sewage intake connection
part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13. The sealing element 4 may function
as a static seal, for example, the sealing element may be made of a rubber material.
[0174] The sealing form of the sealing element 4 may be an end face seal, a radial seal,
or may have an end face seal and a radial seal simultaneously.
[0175] For the end face seal, the first installation groove may be provided on the sewage
intake connection part 23, the sealing element 4 is installed in the first installation
groove in an axial direction, and the sewage discharge connection part 13 abuts against
the sealing element 4 in the first installation groove. After connecting the sewage
intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13, the guidance
protrusion 2311 and the stopper protrusion 1313 may exert a certain compression effect
on the sealing element 4. In other words, the guidance protrusion 2311 and the stopper
protrusion 1313 may make the sealing element 4 in a compressed state, so as to improve
the sealing effect of the sealing element 4.
[0176] For the radial seal, the second installation groove may be provided on the sewage
intake connection part 23, the sealing element 4 is installed radially into the second
sealing groove, and the sewage discharge connection part 13 abuts against the sealing
element 4 in the second installation groove. In a radial direction, there may be a
clearance fit between the sewage intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge
connection part 13, and the sealing element 4 may be installed in the second installation
groove with interference. In other words, the sealing element 4 is compressed by an
inner sidewall of the sewage intake connection part 23 and an outer sidewall of the
sewage discharge connection part 13, so that the sealing element 4 is in a compressed
state, so as to improve the sealing effect of the sealing element 4.
[0177] During the installation process, the sewage discharge box 21 is inclined at a certain
angle so that the guidance protrusion 2311 of the sewage discharge box 21 is aligned
with the guidance groove 1311 on the toilet seat body 1, the sewage discharge box
21 is pushed in the axial direction so that the guidance protrusion 2311 passes through
the guidance groove 1311 and is clamped into the rotation groove 1312, and then the
sewage discharge box 21 is rotated at a certain angle and limited and fixed. At this
time, the outlet of the sewage discharge box 21 is facing downward, and the sewage
discharge box 21 is clamped on the toilet seat body 1.
[0178] The toilet may also include a shifter 51, the shifter 51 is located below the sewage
discharge mechanism 2, the inlet of the shifter 51 is communicated with the outlet
of the sewage discharge box 21, and the outlet of the shifter 51 is communicated with
an external sewage discharge pipeline. A brush ring water outlet 52 is installed on
the toilet seat body 1, and the brush ring water outlet 52 is fixed on the toilet
seat body 1 to flush water into the toilet.
[0179] A toilet device is provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown
in FIGS. 42 to 53. The toilet device includes: a toilet seat body 1 provided with
a toilet bowl 11 and a sewage discharge mechanism 2. The toilet bowl 11 is communicated
with a sewage outlet 12 of the toilet seat body 1. A sewage discharge connection part
13 is provided on an outer periphery of the sewage outlet 12, and the sewage discharge
connection part 13 is located outside the toilet bowl 11, and is provided with a channel
communicated with the sewage outlet 12. The sewage discharge mechanism 2 includes
a sewage discharge box 21, a sewage inlet of the sewage discharge box 21 is communicated
with the channel, and a sewage intake connection part 23 is provided on an outer periphery
of the sewage inlet. The sewage intake connection part 23 protrudes on an outer wall
of the sewage discharge box 21. The sewage discharge connection part 13 is sleeved
outside the sewage intake connection part 23 or the sewage intake connection part
23 is sleeved outside the sewage discharge connection part 13, and supports the sewage
discharge mechanism 2 so that the sewage discharge mechanism 2 is installed on the
toilet seat body 1.
[0180] The sewage discharge mechanism 2 may further include a sewage discharge pipe 22 located
in the sewage discharge box 21, and the sewage discharge pipe 22 is communicated with
the sewage inlet and rotatable relative to the sewage discharge box 21 for sewage
discharge. The sewage discharge pipe 22 and the sewage discharge box 21 may be made
of plastic, and the toilet seat body 1 may be made of a ceramic material.
[0181] The sewage intake connection part 23 is sleeved outside the sewage discharge connection
part 13, and an interference fit may be formed between the sewage intake connection
part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13, so as to improve the connection
reliability. Of course, in order to improve the sealability of the connection, a sealing
structure may be provided here in practical applications to further prevent water
leakage, returning of odor gas, and the like.
[0182] In the toilet device provided by an embodiment of the present application, the toilet
seat body 1 and the sewage discharge box 21 are fixedly connected in a sleeved manner,
which is simple and convenient to install, and is convenient to disassemble and replace
later. The contact surfaces of the sewage discharge connection part 13 and the sewage
intake connection part 23 are tightly bonded, so as to avoid the problems of water
leakage and returning of odor to a certain extent.
[0183] In an actual operation, the sewage intake connection part 23 may be a plastic element.
After a certain compression force is generated by the interference fit, the sewage
intake connection part 23 may be slightly deformed, so that the sewage discharge connection
part 13 may be more tightly bonded, thereby improving the sealability.
[0184] The sewage intake connection part 23 is provided at the sewage inlet of the sewage
discharge box 21 and the sewage discharge connection part 13 is provided at the sewage
outlet 12 of the toilet seat body 1. The sewage intake connection part 23 and the
sewage discharge connection part 13 are provided for easy connection. The connection
between the toilet seat body 1 and the sewage discharge box 21 may be realized by
a fixed connection between the sewage intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge
connection part 13. The connection structure is simplified, and the connection between
the main structures of the toilet seat body 1 and the sewage discharge box 21 through
hole punching or other methods is avoided, which is efficient and practical.
[0185] In an exemplary embodiment, the toilet device further includes an anti-detachment
structure for preventing the sewage intake connection part 23 from being disengaged
from the sewage discharge connection part 23.
[0186] The toilet device also includes an anti-detachment structure for preventing the sewage
intake connection part 23 from being disengaged from the sewage discharge connection
part 13 in the axial direction, so as to further improve the reliability of the connection
and improve the service life of the toilet device.
[0187] The anti-detachment structure may be in various forms. For example, a limiting block
or the like is provided to prevent the sewage intake connection part 23 from retreating
in the axial direction, or an abutment structure is provided at a rear end of the
sewage intake connection part 23 (a rear end of the sewage discharge mechanism 2)
to prevent the sewage intake connection part 23 from retreating in the axial direction.
[0188] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 51 and 52, the anti-detachment structure
includes a first limiting element 8, and the first limiting element 8 is located on
a rear side of the sewage discharge mechanism 2 and in contact with a rear part of
the sewage discharge mechanism 2 and the toilet seat body 1. The first limiting element
8 is connected to at least one of the sewage discharge mechanism 2 and the toilet
seat body 1.
[0189] The first limiting element 8 is provided at a rear part of the sewage discharge mechanism
2, and is in contact with the sewage discharge mechanism 2 and the toilet seat body
1, respectively, so as to abut against the sewage discharge mechanism 2, and limit
in the axial direction to prevent the sewage discharge mechanism 2 from being disengaged
backward.
[0190] A lower end of the first limiting element 8 may be fixed on the toilet seat body
1, and an upper end of the first limiting element 8 may abut against the sewage discharge
mechanism 2. Alternatively, an upper end of the first limiting element 8 may be fixed
on the sewage discharge mechanism 2, and a lower end of the first limiting element
8 may abut against the toilet seat body 1.
[0191] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 51 and 52, the lower part of the toilet
seat body 1 is provided with a second installation plate 266, and a second installation
hole 267 is provided in the second installation plate 266. A lower end of the first
limiting element 8 is supported on the second installation plate 266, and a fastener
84 is fixedly connected to the first limiting element 8 through the second installation
hole 267, so that the first limiting element 8 is fixed to the toilet seat body 1.
An upper end of the first limiting element 8 abuts against the rear part of the sewage
discharge mechanism 2.
[0192] The second installation plate 266 is provided at the lower part of the toilet seat
body 1, and the second installation plate 266 is provided on an inner wall of the
toilet seat body 1, provided horizontally and extending inward. The second installation
plate 266 is provided with a limiting hole for cooperation with the first limiting
element 8. A lower end of the first limiting element 8 is fixed to the second installation
plate 266, and an upper end of the first limiting element 8 abuts against the rear
end of the sewage discharge mechanism 2, and limits in the axial direction to prevent
the sewage discharge mechanism 2 from being disengaged backward.
[0193] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 51 and 52, the first limiting element
8 includes a connection plate 81, a supporting plate 82, and a reinforcement plate
83. The connection plate 81 is supported on the second installation plate 266, and
is fixedly connected to the toilet seat body 1 by the fastener 84. A lower end of
the supporting plate 82 is connected to the second installation plate 266, and an
upper end of the supporting plate 82 abuts against the rear part of the sewage discharge
mechanism 2. The reinforcement plate 83 is connected to a rear plate surface of the
supporting plate 82 and the connection plate 81.
[0194] Both the connection plate 81 and the supporting plate 82 extend in a height direction,
and the reinforcement plate 83 is provided in a horizontal direction. A lower end
of the connection plate 81 is connected to the second installation plate 266 of the
toilet seat body 1, and a lower end of the connection plate 81 may extend horizontally
out of a transverse plate.
In other words, the connection plate 81 may be an L-shaped plate as a whole.
In FIG. 52, only a transverse plate portion of the L-shaped connection plate 81 is shown,
and a vertical plate portion is sheltered. Two supporting plates 82 are provided,
respectively located on a left side and a right side of the connection plate 81.
[0195] The reinforcement plate 83 is used to improve the strength and overall height of
the first limiting element 8, and to prevent the first limiting element 8 from bending
when the first limiting element 8 abuts against the sewage discharge mechanism 2 in
the axial direction, which affects the abutment and limiting effect.
[0196] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 51 and 52, the sewage discharge mechanism
2 further includes a driving device 269 provided on a rear side of the sewage discharge
box 21, and the first limiting element 8 abuts against the sewage discharge box 21
and is staggered from the driving device 269.
[0197] The driving device 269 is used to drive the L-shaped sewage discharge pipe 22 in
the sewage discharge box 21 to rotate, so as to realize a rotational sewage discharge.
The driving device 269 and the first limiting element 8 are staggered to reduce a
total axial length of the sewage discharge mechanism 2 and the first limiting element
8 to facilitate a size control of the toilet.
[0198] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 44 and 45, the toilet device further
includes a shifter 51 fixedly connected to the sewage discharge box 21, an inlet of
the shifter 51 communicates with a sewage outlet of the sewage discharge box 21, and
an outlet of the shifter 51 communicates with an external sewage discharge pipeline
22. The anti-detachment structure includes a second limiting element 85 provided on
the shifter 51, and the second limiting element 85 abuts against the rear part of
the toilet seat body 1.
[0199] The toilet device may further include the shifter 51, and the shifter 51 is located
below the sewage discharge mechanism 2. The inlet of the shifter 51 communicates with
the outlet of the sewage discharge box 21, and the outlet of the shifter 51 communicates
with the external sewage discharge pipeline, so that the installation position of
the toilet device is more flexible and the choice of the user is improved.
[0200] The shifter 51 is fixedly connected to the sewage discharge box 21, and the second
limiting element 85 is provided on the shifter 51 to limit and fix the shifter 51,
thereby limiting and fixing the sewage discharge box 21. The second limiting element
85 does not need to directly abut against the sewage discharge box 21, and thus the
second limiting element 85 does not need to extend a large length in the height direction
so as to abut against the toilet seat body 1. The second limiting element 85 is provided
on the shifter 51 and directly abuts against the rear part of the toilet seat body
1, which reduces a length size of the second limiting element 85 and facilitates the
arrangement of the second limiting element 85.
[0201] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 44 and 45, the second limiting element
85 includes an abutment plate, an end of the abutment plate is fixedly connected to
the shifter 51, and the other end of the abutment plate abuts against an inner sidewall
of the toilet seat body 1.
[0202] The second limiting element 85 may be in a form of an abutment plate, and the abutment
and limiting effect is achieved in a smaller size.
[0203] The second limiting element 85 may also be in other forms, for example a limiting
rod, which is not limited by the present application.
[0204] In an exemplary embodiment, a guidance ramp 268 is provided at an end of the sewage
intake connection part 23 close to the toilet bowl 11, as shown in FIGS. 47 and 49.
[0205] A guidance ramp is provided at an end of the sewage discharge connection part 13
away from the toilet bowl 11.
[0206] The sewage intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13
may be provided with guidance ramps respectively, so that the sewage intake connection
part 23 may be sleeved on the sewage discharge connection part 13, and the efficiency
of sleeving may be improved.
[0207] An opening at an end of the guidance ramp 268 with a larger diameter on the inner
wall surface of the sewage intake connection part 23 is provided toward the sewage
discharge connection part 13. An end of the guidance ramp with a smaller diameter
on the outer peripheral surface of the sewage discharge connection part 13 is provided
toward the sewage intake connection part 23. In other words, when the sewage intake
connection part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13 are assembled, the
end of the guidance ramp with the smaller diameter on the outer peripheral surface
of the sewage discharge connection part 13 first passes through an end of the guidance
ramp 268 with the larger diameter on the inner wall surface of the sewage intake connection
part 23, and then the sewage discharge connection part 13 further extends into the
sewage intake connection part 23 to complete the assembly.
[0208] In an exemplary embodiment, a sleeve fitting length of the sewage discharge connection
part 13 and the sewage intake connection part 23 is greater than or equal to 25 mm
and less than or equal to 94 mm.
[0209] A length of the sewage intake connection part 23 sleeved on the sewage discharge
connection part 13 is between 25 mm and 94 mm. On the basis of ensuring the connection
strength, it is also convenient to arrange a sealing element at the overlapping portion.
[0210] In an exemplary embodiment, an anti-rotation structure is provided between the sewage
intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13 for limiting
the rotation of the sewage discharge box 21 relative to the toilet seat body 1.
[0211] The anti-rotation structure is provided between the sewage intake connection part
23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13, and the anti-rotation structure prevents
the sewage discharge box 21 from rotating.
[0212] The anti-detachment structure abuts the sewage intake connection part 23 against
the sewage intake connection part 23 and fixes them, and limits the two in the axial
direction, so that the sewage discharge box 21 may be prevented from being disengaged
backward in the axial direction relative to the toilet seat body 1. However, when
the sewage discharge box 21 is subjected to a circumferential force, the fastener
84 does not provide a circumferential limitation. When the anti-rotation structure
is provided between the sewage intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge
connection part 13, the sewage discharge box 21 may be prevented from rotating relative
to the toilet seat body 1 after being subjected to a circumferential force, so that
the sewage discharge box 21 may be completely fixed and limited, and the sewage discharge
box 21 may be prevented from moving or rotating during working process, thereby ensuring
reliable working of the toilet device.
[0213] In an exemplary embodiment, a protruding part 133 is provided on the outer sidewall
of the sewage discharge connection part 13, and an accommodation groove 233 cooperated
with the protruding part 133 is provided on the sewage intake connection part 23.
The anti-rotation structure includes the protruding part 133 and the accommodation
groove 233, as shown in FIGS. 43, 44, 48 and 49. Alternatively, the outer sidewall
of the sewage discharge connection part 13 is provided with a non-circular first anti-rotation
wall surface, and the sewage intake connection part 23 is provided with a second anti-rotation
wall surface cooperated with the first anti-rotation wall surface. The anti-rotation
structure includes the first anti-rotation wall surface and the second anti-rotation
wall surface.
[0214] The non-circular first anti-rotation wall surface is provided on the outer sidewall
of the sewage discharge connection part 13 and the second anti-rotation wall surface
is provided on the inner sidewall of the sewage intake connection part 23. The first
anti-rotation wall surface and the second anti-rotation wall surface are non-circular
wall surfaces of the same shape, so as to prevent the sewage discharge box 21 from
rotating relative to the toilet seat body 1.
[0215] The sewage intake connection part 23 is sleeved outside the flange, so that the first
anti-rotation wall surface tightly abuts against the second anti-rotation wall surface
in the radial direction. Since both the first anti-rotation wall surface and the second
anti-rotation wall surface are non-circular, relative rotation between the first anti-rotation
wall surface and the second anti-rotation wall surface may be avoided, that is, the
sewage discharge mechanism 2 is prevented from rotating relative to the toilet seat
body 1.
[0216] For example, the first anti-rotation wall surface and the second anti-rotation wall
surface may be an irregular annular shape formed by a circular arc and a straight
line, and the first anti-rotation wall surface and the second anti-rotation wall surface
may play a role of circumferential limitation after cooperation. Alternatively, the
first anti-rotation wall surface and the second anti-rotation wall surface may also
be other shapes (such as ellipses, polygons, and the like) that may prevent the relative
rotation.
[0217] The first anti-rotation wall surface and the second anti-rotation wall surface cooperate
to form an anti-rotation structure.
[0218] In addition to the forms of the first anti-rotation wall surface and the second anti-rotation
wall surface described above, other forms of the anti-rotation structure may be adopted.
For example, a protruding part 133 is provided on the sewage discharge connection
part 13, and a corresponding accommodation groove 233 is provided on the sewage intake
connection part 23, and the protruding part 133 is clamped in the accommodation groove
233 in the axial direction to achieve an anti-rotation effect. An annular flange may
be provided outside the sewage discharge connection part 13, and then a protruding
part 133 may be provided on the annular flange for rotational limitation. The annular
flange has a certain distance from the annular flange at the end part of the sewage
discharge connection part 13 in the axial direction, so as to form a sealing groove
for installation of the sealing element in the axial direction.
[0219] In an exemplary embodiment, at least one of the sewage intake connection part 23
and the sewage discharge connection part 13 is provided with a first installation
groove, a first sealing element is provided in the first installation groove, and
the first sealing element abuts against a radial inner end of the sewage intake connection
part 23 and a radial outer end of the sewage discharge connection part 13 to form
a radial seal, as shown in FIG. 47. And/or at least one of the sewage intake connection
part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13 is provided with a second installation
groove, a second sealing element is provided in the second installation groove, and
the second sealing element abuts against an axial end face of the sewage intake connection
part 23 and an axial end face of the sewage discharge connection part 13 to form an
end face seal.
[0220] The sealing form of the sealing element may be an end face seal, also may be a radial
seal, or yet also may be have an end face seal and a radial seal simultaneously.
[0221] For the radial seal, the first installation groove may be provided on the sewage
intake connection part 23, the sealing element is installed into the first sealing
groove in the radial direction, and the sewage discharge connection part 13 abuts
against the sealing element in the first installation groove. In the radial direction,
there may be a clearance fit between the sewage intake connection part 23 and the
sewage discharge connection part 13, and the sealing element may be installed in the
first installation groove with interference. In other words, the sealing element is
compressed by the inner sidewall of the sewage intake connection part 23 and the outer
sidewall of the sewage discharge connection part 13, so that the sealing element is
in a compressed state, so as to improve the sealing effect of the sealing element.
[0222] For the end face seal, a second installation groove may be provided on the sewage
intake connection part 23, the sealing element is installed in the second installation
groove in the axial direction, and the sewage discharge connection part 13 abuts against
the sealing element in the second installation groove. After the sewage intake connection
part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13 are connected, the anti-detachment
structure may exert a certain compression effect on the sealing element. In other
words, the anti-detachment structure may cause the sealing element to be in a compressed
state, so as to improve the sealing effect of the sealing element.
[0223] In addition, the sewage discharge pipe 22 is rotatably installed in the sewage discharge
box 21, and an oil seal may be provided at the rotational connection to form a dynamic
seal, so as to improve the sealability of the connection.
[0224] A brush ring water outlet 52 is installed on the toilet seat body 1, and the brush
ring water outlet 52 is fixed on the toilet seat body 1 to flush water into the toilet
device.
[0225] An embodiment of the present application provides a toilet device, as shown in FIGS.
54 to 63. The toilet device includes a toilet seat body 1, a sewage discharge mechanism
2, and a fastener 2414. The toilet seat body 1 is provided with a toilet bowl 11 and
a sewage outlet 12 communicated with the toilet bowl 11, and a sewage discharge connection
part 13 is provided on an outer periphery of the sewage outlet 12. The sewage discharge
connection part 13 is located outside the toilet bowl 11 and is provided with a channel
communicated with the sewage outlet 12. The sewage discharge mechanism 2 includes
a sewage discharge box 21, the sewage discharge box 21 is provided with a sewage inlet
211 communicated with the channel, a sewage intake connection part 23 is provided
on an outer periphery of the sewage inlet 211, and the sewage intake connection part
23 protrudes on an outer wall of the sewage discharge box 21.The sewage discharge
connection part 13 is fixedly connected to the sewage intake connection part 23 by
the fastener 2414, so that the toilet seat body 1 and the sewage discharge box 21
are fixedly connected. The fastener 2414 may be a threaded connection element.
[0226] The sewage discharge mechanism 2 may also include a sewage discharge pipe 22 located
in the sewage discharge box 21, and the sewage discharge pipe 22 is communicated with
the sewage inlet 211, and is rotatable relative to the sewage discharge box 21 to
discharge sewage. The sewage discharge pipe 22 and the sewage discharge box 21 may
be made of plastic, and the toilet seat body 1 may be made of a ceramic material.
[0227] Multiple fasteners 2414 may be provided in the circumferential direction of the sewage
discharge box 21 to improve the connection effect. For example, multiple groove structures
may be uniformly provided on the outer circumferential surface of the sewage intake
connection part 23 for connecting with ends of the fasteners 2414, so that the toilet
seat body 1 and the sewage discharge box 21 are uniformly stressed, so as to avoid
askew and easy disengagement after connection. In practical application, three fasteners
2414 may be provided, and are arranged uniformly in the circumferential direction.
[0228] In the toilet device provided by an embodiment of the present application, the toilet
seat body 1 and the sewage discharge box 21 are fixedly connected by a fastener 2414,
and the fastener 2414 has a tight fixation and a good connection effect. In this way,
the end faces of the sewage discharge connection part 13 and the sewage intake connection
part 23 are more tightly bonded, so as to avoid a large gap at the connection between
the toilet seat body 1 and the sewage discharge box 21, and avoid the problems of
water leakage and returning of odor.
[0229] In an actual operation, the sewage intake connection part 23 may be a plastic element.
When the fastener 2414 exerts a certain compression force, the sewage intake connection
part 23 may be slightly deformed, so that the sewage discharge connection part 13
is more tightly bonded, thereby improving the sealability.
[0230] The sewage intake connection part 23 is provided at the sewage inlet 211 of the sewage
discharge box 21 and the sewage discharge connection part 13 is provided at the sewage
outlet 12 of the toilet seat body 1. The sewage intake connection part 23 and the
sewage discharge connection part 13 are provided for easy connection. The connection
between the toilet seat body 1 and the sewage discharge box 21 may be realized by
a fixed connection between the sewage intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge
connection part 13. The connection structure is simplified, and the connection between
the main structures of the toilet seat body 1 and the sewage discharge box 21 through
hole punching or other methods is avoided, which is efficient and practical.
[0231] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 55 to 61, the fastener 2414 includes
a bolt 2415 and a nut 2416, and at least one of the sewage intake connection part
23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13 is provided with a connection hole
2411. The bolt 2415 passes through the connection hole 2411 and is threadedly connected
to the nut 2416 to fasten the sewage intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge
connection part 13.
[0232] A connection hole 2411 is provided in the sewage intake connection part 23. An end
of the bolt 2415 is fixed in the sewage intake connection part 23, and the other end
of the bolt 2415 passes through the connection hole 2411 in the sewage intake connection
part 23 and extends toward the sewage discharge connection part 13. The nut 2416 is
threadedly connected to an extension part (the other end) of the bolt 2415, that is,
the nut 2416 is screwed to the end of the bolt 2415 to fasten the sewage intake connection
part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13. An end of the bolt 2415 is fixed
in the sewage intake connection part 23, and the other end of the bolt 2415 is connected
to the sewage discharge connection part 13 by screwing the nut 2416, and a fixed connection
between the sewage discharge connection part 23 and the sewage intake connection part
13 is realized by means of a bolt 2415 and nut 2416.
[0233] Alternatively, the connection hole 2411 may not be provided in the sewage intake
connection part 23, but may be provided in the sewage discharge connection part 13.
Alternatively, connection holes 2411 are provided in both the sewage intake connection
part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13, the bolt 2415 passes through
the two connection holes 2411 respectively, and nuts 2416 are respectively fixed at
both ends for fastening.
[0234] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG. 57, the sewage intake connection part
23 is provided with an accommodation cavity 241, and the accommodation cavity 241
includes a limiting groove 2412 and a connection hole 2411. The limiting groove 2412
is used to receive a head of the bolt 2415, and the connection hole 2411 is communicated
with the limiting groove 2412 for the bolt 2415 to pass through.
[0235] The head of the bolt 2415 is located in the limiting groove 2412. A screw part of
the bolt 2415 passes through the connection hole 2411 and extends to the sewage discharge
connection part 13, and abuts against the sewage discharge connection part 13 through
the nut 2416.
[0236] A size of the connection hole 2411 is smaller than a size of the limiting groove
2412 so that a head located in the limiting groove 2412 does not disengaged from the
connection hole 2411.
[0237] In practical application, an installation mode of the bolt 2415 may be adjusted.
For example, the bolt 2415 is installed in a reverse direction, the nut 2416 is provided
in the accommodation cavity 241, the head of the bolt 2415 is located at the sewage
discharge connection part 13, and the screw part of the bolt 2415 passes through the
connection hole 2411 and is connected to the nut 2416 located in the limiting groove
2412.
[0238] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG. 57, the accommodation cavity 241 is
provided with a radial opening 2413. The radial opening 2413 is configured for the
bolt 2415 to enter the accommodation cavity 241 in the radial direction of the sewage
intake connection part 23, and for the bolt 2415 to interfere fit with the accommodation
cavity 241. Alternatively, the bolt 2415 is embedded in the sewage intake connection
part 23 and forms an integrated structure with the sewage intake connection part 23.
[0239] The accommodation cavity 241 is provided with the radial opening 2413, and the bolt
2415 is installed into the accommodation cavity 241 in the radial direction, so that
it is convenient for a person to operate during the installation and construction
of the toilet device. There may be an interference fit between the head of the bolt
2415 and the accommodation cavity 241, so that after the head is installed into the
accommodation cavity 241, the bolt 2415 will not be disengaged and fall off, and the
nut 2416 is screwed at the other end of the bolt 2415 to facilitate operation.
[0240] Alternatively, the accommodation cavity 241 may not be provided with a radial opening
2413, and a processing bolt 2415 is directly embedded in the preset position of the
sewage discharge box 21 during the manufacturing process of the sewage discharge box
21, in other words, the bolt 2415 is integrally formed with the sewage intake connection
part 23. An integrated structure of the bolt 2415 and the sewage intake connection
part 23 is conducive to improving the assembly efficiency.
[0241] In an exemplary embodiment, a threaded section of the bolt 2415 is located outside
the sewage discharge connection part 13 in the radial direction. The sewage discharge
connection part 13 includes a second annular flange 132, and an end of the second
annular flange 132 close to the sewage discharge box 21 abuts against the sewage intake
connection part 23. The nut 2416 is located on a side of the second annular flange
132 away from the sewage discharge box 21, and is screwed with the threaded section
of the bolt 2415, so that the sewage intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge
connection part 13 are clamped and fixed by the fastener 2414.
[0242] The second annular flange 132 may be an annular protruding structure provided on
the sewage discharge connection part 13 and protruding in a radial direction. The
second annular flange 132 is located at the end of the sewage discharge connection
part 13 and is close to the sewage intake connection part 23 to shorten a distance
from the sewage intake connection part 23, thereby reducing a length of the bolt 2415.
[0243] The threaded section (screw part) of the bolt 2415 is located outside the sewage
discharge connection part 13 in the radial direction, in other words, no structure
such as a through hole or a groove is provided in the sewage discharge connection
part 13 for cooperation with the bolt 2415. The threaded section of the bolt 2415
protrudes from the sewage discharge connection part 13 for connecting with the nut
2416. That is, there may further be the threaded section of the bolt 2415 in the connection
hole 2411. In practical application, the toilet seat body 1 is generally integrally
formed with ceramics, and the threaded section of the bolt 2415 is located outside
the sewage discharge connection part 13 in the radial direction, which may avoid operations
such as opening holes in the toilet seat body 1, avoid affecting the strength of the
toilet seat body 1, and simplify the process.
[0244] The nut 2416 is located on a side of the second annular flange 132 of the sewage
discharge connection part 13 away from the sewage discharge box 21. The nut 2416 is
threadedly connected to the bolt 2415, and the nut 2416 abuts against the second annular
flange 132. The head end of the bolt 2415 abuts against or is fixedly connected to
the sewage intake connection part 23. By screwing and tightening the nut 2416 on the
bolt 2415, the sewage discharge connection part 13 and the sewage intake connection
part 23 are clamped and fixed.
[0245] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG. 60, the nut 2416 abuts against an end
of the second annular flange 132 away from the sewage discharge box 21. Alternatively,
the fastener 2414 also includes a spacer 2417 located between the nut 2416 and the
sewage discharge connection part 13, the spacer 2417 is sleeved on the bolt 2415 and
abuts against an end of the second annular flange 132 away from the sewage discharge
box 21, and a diameter of the spacer 2417 is greater than a diameter of the nut 2416.
[0246] At the sewage discharge connection part 13, the second annular flange 132 may be
directly abutted against by means of a nut 2416, so that the sewage discharge connection
part 13 and the sewage intake connection part 23 are clamped and fixed. The structure
is simple and a quantity of parts is less.
[0247] In addition, a spacer 2417 may be provided between the nut 2416 and the sewage discharge
connection part 13. A diameter of the spacer 2417 is greater than a diameter of the
nut 2416, so that an area of the spacer 2417 that abuts against the second annular
flange 132 is increased, so as to improve the reliability of the spacer 2417 that
abuts against the second annular flange 132, avoid sliding, being disengaged, and
the like, and ensure that the sewage discharge connection part 13 and the sewage intake
connection part 23 are reliably clamped and fixed.
[0248] In an exemplary embodiment, the sewage discharge connection part 13 is provided with
a connection hole 2411, and the sewage intake connection part 23 is provided with
a threaded hole. The fastener 2414 includes a screw, and the screw passes through
the connection hole 2411 and is screwed into the threaded hole (not shown in figure).
[0249] In addition to the aforementioned "the fastener 2414 includes the bolt 2415 and the
nut 2416", the fastener 2414 may also be in other forms. For example, the fastener
2414 includes a screw, a connection hole 2411 (smooth hole) is provided in the sewage
discharge connection part 13, an end that is the head of the screw is located on a
side of the sewage discharge connection part 13 facing away from the sewage intake
connection part 23, and the other end of the screw passes through the connection hole
2411 and is screwed into the threaded hole of the sewage intake connection part 23.
The connection between the toilet seat body 1 and the sewage discharge box 21 is realized
by cooperation between the screw and the threaded hole. In other words, the fastener
2414 may be a separate screw (one member) to further reduce a quantity of parts and
components of the toilet device and simplify the structure of the toilet device.
[0250] In practical application, the threaded hole in the sewage intake connection part
23 may be a through hole or a blind hole.
[0251] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG. 60, the toilet device further includes
a sealing element 4 provided between the sewage intake connection part 23 and the
sewage discharge connection part 13.
[0252] The provision of the sealing element 4 between the sewage intake connection part
23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13, together with the clamping force provided
by the fastener 2414, can further improve the sealability between the sewage intake
connection part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13 to ensure that a phenomenon
of water leakage, returning of odor or the like will not occur at the connection between
the sewage intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13.
[0253] The sealing element 4 may function as a static seal. For example, the sealing element
may be made of a rubber material.
[0254] In an exemplary embodiment, at least one of the sewage intake connection part 23
and the sewage discharge connection part 13 is provided with the first installation
groove, and the sealing element 4 is installed in the first installation groove and
abuts against the axial end face of the sewage intake connection part 23 and the axial
end face of the sewage discharge connection part 13 to form an end face seal. And/or
the sewage intake connection part 23 is sleeved outside the sewage discharge connection
pat 13, at least one of the sewage intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge
connection part 13 is provided with a second installation groove, and the sealing
element 4 is installed in the second installation groove and abuts against the radial
inner end of the sewage intake connection part 23 and the radial outer end of the
sewage discharge connection part 13 to form a radial seal.
[0255] The sealing form of the sealing element 4 may be an end face seal, a radial seal,
or may have an end face seal and a radial seal simultaneously.
[0256] For the end face seal, the first installation groove may be provided on the sewage
intake connection part 23, the sealing element 4 is installed in the first installation
groove in an axial direction, and the sewage discharge connection part 13 abuts against
the sealing element 4 in the first installation groove. After connecting the sewage
intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13, the fastener
2414 may exert a certain compression effect on the sealing element 4. In other words,
the fastener 2414 may make the sealing element 4 in a compressed state, so as to improve
the sealing effect of the sealing element 4.
[0257] For the radial seal, the second installation groove may be provided on the sewage
intake connection part 23, the sealing element 4 is installed into the second sealing
groove in the radial direction, and the sewage discharge connection part 13 abuts
against the sealing element 4 in the second installation groove. In the radial direction,
there may be a clearance fit between the sewage intake connection part 23 and the
sewage discharge connection part 13, and the sealing element 4 may be installed in
the second installation groove with interference. In other words, the sealing element
4 is compressed by an inner sidewall of the sewage intake connection part 23 and an
outer sidewall of the sewage discharge connection part 13, so that the sealing element
4 is in a compressed state, so as to improve the sealing effect of the sealing element
4.
[0258] In an exemplary embodiment, an anti-rotation structure is provided between the sewage
intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13 for limiting
the rotation of the sewage discharge box 21 relative to the toilet seat body 1.
[0259] The anti-rotation structure is provided between the sewage intake connection part
23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13, and the anti-rotation structure prevents
the sewage discharge box 21 from rotating.
[0260] The fastener 2414 clamps and fixes the sewage discharge connection part 13 and the
sewage intake connection part 23, and limits the sewage discharge connection part
13 and the sewage intake connection part 23 in an axial direction, so that the sewage
discharge box 21 may be prevented from being disengaged backward in the axial direction
relative to the toilet seat body 1. However, when the sewage discharge box 21 is subjected
to a circumferential force, the fastener 2414 does not provide a circumferential limitation.
When the anti-rotation structure is provided between the sewage intake connection
part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13, the sewage discharge box 21 may
be prevented from rotating relative to the toilet seat body 1 after being subjected
to a circumferential force, so that the sewage discharge box 21 may be completely
fixed and limited, and the sewage discharge box 21 may be prevented from moving or
rotating during working process, thereby ensuring reliable working of the toilet device.
[0261] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 58 and 62, the sewage intake connection
part 23 is sleeved outside the second annular flange 132, the outer sidewall of the
sewage discharge connection part 13 is provided with a non-circular first anti-rotation
wall surface 261, and the sewage intake connection part 23 is provided with a second
anti-rotation wall surface 264 that cooperates with the first anti-rotation wall surface
261. The anti-rotation structure includes the first anti-rotation wall surface 261
and the second anti-rotation wall surface 264.
[0262] The sewage intake connection part 23 is sleeved outside the second annular flange
132, which may play a certain guiding role, so that the sewage intake connection part
23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13 are accurately aligned.
[0263] The non-circular first anti-rotation wall surface 261 is provided on the outer sidewall
of the sewage discharge connection part 13, and the second anti-rotation wall surface
264 is provided on the inner sidewall of the sewage intake connection part 23. The
first anti-rotation wall surface 261 and the second anti-rotation wall surface 264
are non-circular wall surfaces of the same shape, so as to prevent the sewage discharge
box 21 from rotating relative to the toilet seat body 1.
[0264] The sewage intake connection part 23 is sleeved outside the second annular flange
132, so that the first anti-rotation wall surface 261 tightly abuts against the second
anti-rotation wall surface 264 in the radial direction. Since both the first anti-rotation
wall surface 261 and the second anti-rotation wall surface 264 are non-circular, relative
rotation between the first anti-rotation wall surface 261 and the second anti-rotation
wall surface 264 may be avoided, that is, the sewage discharge mechanism 2 is prevented
from rotating relative to the toilet seat body 1.
[0265] For example, the first anti-rotation wall surface 261 and the second anti-rotation
wall surface 264 may be an irregular annular shape formed by a circular arc and a
straight line, and the first anti-rotation wall surface 261 and the second anti-rotation
wall surface 264 may play a role of circumferential limitation after cooperation.
Alternatively, the first anti-rotation wall surface 261 and the second anti-rotation
wall surface 264 may also be other shapes (such as ellipses, polygons, and the like)
that may prevent the relative rotation.
[0266] The first anti-rotation wall surface 261 and the second anti-rotation wall surface
264 cooperate to form an anti-rotation structure.
[0267] In addition to the forms of the first anti-rotation wall surface 261 and the second
anti-rotation wall surface 264 described above, other forms of the anti-rotation structure
may be adopted. For example, a limiting block is provided on the sewage discharge
connection part 13, a corresponding accommodation groove 233 is provided on the sewage
intake connection part 23, and the limiting block and the accommodation groove 233
that cooperate with each other serve as the anti-rotation structure.
[0268] In addition, the sewage discharge pipe 22 is rotatably installed in the sewage discharge
box 21, and an oil seal may be provided at the rotational connection to form a dynamic
seal, so as to improve the sealability of the connection.
[0269] The toilet device may also include a shifter 51, the shifter 51 is located below
the sewage discharge mechanism 2, the inlet of the shifter 51 is communicated with
the outlet of the sewage discharge box 21, and the outlet of the shifter 51 is communicated
with an external sewage discharge pipeline 22. A brush ring water outlet 52 is installed
on the toilet seat body 1, and the brush ring water outlet 52 is fixed on the toilet
seat body 1 to flush water into the toilet device.
[0270] As shown in FIGS. 64 to 74, an embodiment of the present application provides a toilet
device. Referring to FIG. 2, the toilet device includes a toilet seat body 1, a sewage
discharge mechanism 1, and a threaded fastening sleeve 26.
[0271] The toilet seat body 1 is provided with a toilet bowl 11 and a sewage outlet 12 communicated
with the toilet bowl 11. A sewage discharge connection part 13 is provided on an outer
periphery of the sewage outlet 12. The sewage discharge connection part 13 is located
outside the toilet bowl 11 and is provided with a channel 1323 communicated with the
sewage outlet 12.
[0272] The sewage discharge mechanism 1 includes a sewage discharge box 21 and a sewage
discharge pipe 22 located within the sewage discharge box 21. The sewage discharge
box 21 is provided with a sewage inlet 211 communicated with the channel 1323. A sewage
intake connection part 23 is provided on an outer periphery of the sewage inlet 211.
The sewage intake connection part 23 protrudes on an outer wall of the sewage discharge
box 21 and is sleeved outside the sewage discharge connection part 13. The sewage
discharge pipe 22 is communicated with the sewage inlet 211, and is rotatable relative
to the sewage discharge box 21.
[0273] The threaded fastening sleeve 26 is sleeved outside the sewage intake connection
part 23 and is threadedly connected with the sewage intake connection part 23, so
that the sewage intake connection part 23 is fastened to the sewage discharge connection
part 13, so as to fix the sewage discharge box 21 to the toilet seat body 1.
[0274] The toilet device provided by an embodiment of the present application includes the
toilet seat body1, the sewage discharge mechanism 1, and the threaded fastening sleeve
26. The toilet seat body 1 is provided with the toilet bowl 11 and the sewage outlet
12, and sewage in the toilet bowl 11 is discharged through the sewage outlet 12. The
sewage outlet 12 is provided with a sewage discharge connection part 13 for connecting
the sewage discharge mechanism 1. The sewage discharge mechanism 1 includes the sewage
discharge box 21 and the sewage discharge pipe 22, and the sewage discharge pipe 22
may be communicated with the sewage outlet 12 through the channel 1323 in the sewage
discharge connection part 13 and the sewage inlet 211 of the sewage discharge box
21, and a flipped and sewage discharge function may be realized by rotation. The sewage
discharge box 21 accommodates the sewage discharge pipe 22, and an indirect connection
between the sewage discharge pipe 22 and the sewage outlet 12 is realized.
[0275] The sewage discharge box 21 is provided with a sewage intake connection part 23 correspondingly,
and the outer sidewall of the sewage intake connection part 23 is provided with an
external thread adapted to the threaded fastening sleeve 26. During the assembly process,
the sewage intake connection part 23 may be sleeved outside the sewage discharge connection
part 13 to form a shaft and hole fitting structure. Then, the threaded fastening sleeve
26 is screwed outside the sewage intake connection part 23, and the threaded fastening
sleeve 26 may press the sewage intake connection part 23 radially inward, so that
the sewage intake connection part 23 is tightly fixed on the sewage discharge connection
part 13 and may not be disengaged from the sewage discharge connection part 13 in
a reverse direction, thereby realizing a fixed connection between the sewage discharge
box 21 and the toilet seat body 1.
[0276] Compared with the bonding and fixing method, the threaded fastening sleeve 26 is
not prone to aging failure, so the threaded fastening sleeve 26 is used to realize
a fixed connection between the sewage discharge box 21 and the toilet seat body 1,
and the connection strength is high, and the fixation is relatively reliable. In addition,
the threaded fastening sleeve 26 is more convenient to disassemble, so this solution
is also convenient for maintenance of the toilet and replacement of internal parts
and components during subsequent use.
[0277] In one example, the sewage discharge connection part 13 and the sewage intake connection
part 23 may be designed as short tubular structures. The sewage outlet 12 is located
at a lower rear part of the toilet bowl 11, and the sewage discharge connection part
13 protrudes outward from the sewage outlet 12 and toward the rear part of the toilet
seat body 11, as shown in FIG. 64. The protrusion direction of the sewage discharge
connection part 13 may be horizontal or downward inclined so that the inner channel
1323 extends horizontally backward or extends obliquely backward, which facilitates
the smooth discharge of sewage and avoids the backflow of sewage.
[0278] The sewage discharge box 21 and the sewage discharge pipe 22 may be plastic elements,
which are convenient for processing into desired shapes according to needs, and are
further convenient for processing and molding of the external threads on the sewage
intake connection part 23 of the sewage discharge box 21. The toilet seat body 1 may
be a ceramic element, or may be made of a rigid plastic or other material.
[0279] In one example, the sewage discharge box 21 is provided with a dirt outlet 253. The
dirt outlet 253 may be communicated with an external sewage discharge pipeline (for
example a floor sewage discharge pipeline) through a shifter 51, as shown in FIGS.
64 to 67, and the sewage discharged from the sewage discharge pipe 22 is discharged
into the external sewage discharge pipeline.
[0280] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 65, 67, 71, and 72, the sewage discharge
connection part 13 includes a tubular part 1322 and a second annular flange 132 provided
on an outer sidewall of the tubular part 1322. A channel 1323 is provided in the tubular
part 1322, as shown in FIG. 72. As shown in FIGS. 68, 69, 71, and 73, a clamping protrusion
2111 is provided on an inner sidewall of the sewage intake connection part 23. The
clamping protrusion 2111 hooks the second annular flange 132, as shown in FIG. 71,
to limit a movement of the sewage intake connection part 23 in a direction away from
the toilet bowl 11.
[0281] During the process in which the sewage intake connection part 23 is sleeved outside
the sewage discharge connection part 13, when the clamping protrusion 2111 passes
over the second annular flange 132 and hooks the second annular flange 132, it indicates
that the sewage intake connection part 23 is installed in place in an axial direction,
and the threaded fastening sleeve 26 may be screwed on at this time. Due to a limiting
and cooperation between the clamping protrusion 2111 and the second annular flange
132, it is difficult for the sewage intake connection part 23 to be disengaged from
the sewage discharge connection part 13 in a reverse direction, thereby improving
the position stability of the sewage discharge box 21 in the axial direction.
[0282] Therefore, the cooperation of the clamping protrusion 2111 and the second annular
flange 132 may position and limit an assembly between the sewage discharge box 21
and the toilet seat body 1, which is not only conducive to improving the assembly
efficiency of the toilet device, but also conductive to improving the stability of
the sewage discharge mechanism 1 after the assembly is completed.
[0283] In one example, the clamping protrusion 2111 is provided on an inner sidewall of
the sewage intake connection part 23 and integrally formed with the inner sidewall
of the sewage intake connection part 23.
[0284] A projection of the clamping protrusion 2111 on a longitudinal section of the sewage
intake connection part 23 may be a right-angled triangle, a rectangle, or a right-angled
trapezoid, and an end face away from the toilet bowl 11 is perpendicular to an axis
of the sewage intake connection part 23, and is configured to abut against an end
face of the second annular flange 132 close to the toilet bowl 11.
[0285] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 68 and 69, the clamping protrusion
2111 is provided at an end of the sewage intake connection part 23 close to the toilet
bowl 11. The tubular part 1322, the second annular flange 132, and the toilet seat
body 1 enclose a clamping groove 1324 for accommodating the clamping protrusion 2111,
as shown In FIG. 71.
[0286] This is beneficial to shortening an axial length of the sewage intake connection
part 23, thereby reducing the installation space requirement of the sewage discharge
mechanism 1, and reducing an axial length of the toilet device.
[0287] In one example, the clamping groove 1324 is formed between an upper part of the tubular
part 1322, an upper part of the second annular flange 132 and the toilet seat body
1, and a bottom part of the tubular part 1322 is smoothly connected with the toilet
seat body 1. As shown in FIGS. 68, 69, and 73, a quantity of clamping protrusions
2111 is multiple, and the multiple clamping protrusions 2111 are provided at intervals
along a circumferential direction of the sewage intake connection part 23. A portion
of the clamping protrusions 2111 is located within the clamping groove 1324.
[0288] As shown in FIG. 65, the clamping protrusions 2111 are provided at intervals along
the circumferential direction of the sewage intake connection part 23, a quantity
of the clamping protrusions 2111 is at least two (such as, it may be 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,
7, 8, or the like), and all the clamping protrusions 2111 are of the same size, so
that the force applied on each clamping protrusion 2111 is the same.
[0289] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 68, 69, and 73, the sewage intake connection
part 23 is provided with at least one cutout 2112, and the cutout 2112 allows the
sewage intake connection part 23 to expand and deform during the process of being
sleeved to the sewage discharge connection part 13.
[0290] Since the sewage intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part
13 have to form the shaft and hole fitting structure, and the threaded fastening sleeve
26 is used to achieve a radial locking and fixing, an inner diameter of the sewage
intake connection part 23 is very close to an outer diameter of the sewage discharge
connection part 13, resulting in difficulty in assembling the sewage intake connection
part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13. Moreover, the toilet seat body
1 is generally a ceramic body. Due to the limitations of the ceramic manufacturing
process, there may be a defect of low accuracy of the sewage discharge connection
part 13, which makes the assembly between the sewage intake connection part 23 and
the sewage discharge connection part 13 more difficult.
[0291] Therefore, at least one cutout 2112 is provided on the sewage intake connection part
23, so that the sewage intake connection part 23 may be expanded and deformed during
the assembly process, which means that the sewage intake connection part 23 may be
expanded and thickened during the assembly process. This may reduce the difficulty
of sleeving the sewage intake connection part 23 onto the sewage discharge connection
part 13, thereby improving the assembly efficiency. The expanded portion of the sewage
intake connection part 23 is tightened during the subsequent tightening of the threaded
fastening sleeve 26, so that the sewage intake connection part 23 will not crack and
affect the service reliability of the sewage discharge box 21.
[0292] In particular, for a solution in which the second annular flange 132 for hooking
the sewage discharge connection part 13 is provided on an inner sidewall of the sewage
intake connection part 23, an arrangement of the cutout 2112 may reduce the difficulty
of the clamping protrusion 2111 passing over the second annular flange 132, reduce
the interference force between the clamping protrusion 2111 and the second annular
flange 132, thereby reducing the difficulty of installation and improving the installation
efficiency.
[0293] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 68 and 69, the cutout 2112 extends
in an axial direction of the sewage intake connection part 23 and runs through an
end of the sewage intake connection part 23 close to the toilet bowl 11.
[0294] In this way, the end of the sewage intake connection part 23 close to the toilet
bowl 11 may be thickened during assembly, so that the sewage intake connection part
23 forms a flared structure, which is beneficial to further reducing the difficulty
of sleeving the sewage intake connection part 23 onto the sewage discharge connection
part 13, thereby improving assembly efficiency. Moreover, this further facilitates
the processing and molding of the cutout 2112.
[0295] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 62 and 69, a length of the cutout 2112
is less than the axial length of the sewage intake connection part 23.
[0296] In this way, the portion of the sewage intake connection part 23 close to the toilet
bowl 11 may be expanded and deformed, which facilitates the smooth and rapid sleeving
of the sewage intake connection part 23 onto the sewage discharge connection part
13. The portion of the sewage intake connection part 23 away from the toilet bowl
11 may not be expanded and deformed, and the portion is intact in the circumferential
direction. Since the portion is closer to the sewage inlet 211, it is beneficial to
preventing sewage or odor from leaking out from the portion.
[0297] As shown in FIGS. 68 and 69, the cutout 2112 starts at an end (i.e., a front end)
of the sewage intake connection part 23 away from the sewage inlet 211, and extends
backward in the axial direction of the sewage intake connection part 23. In the radial
direction of the sewage intake connection part 23, the cutout 2112 runs through the
inner sidewall and the outer sidewall of the sewage intake connection part 23.
[0298] In one example, as shown in FIGS. 68, 69, and 73, a quantity of cutouts 2112 is multiple,
and the multiple cutouts 2112 are provided at intervals in the circumferential direction
of the sewage intake connection part 23, for example uniformly provided.
[0299] For a solution in which the inner sidewall of the sewage intake connection part 23
is provided with a clamping protrusion 2111, the cutout 2112 may be staggered from
the clamping protrusion 2111, as shown in FIG. 73.
[0300] For example, a quantity of the cutouts 2112 in the sewage intake connection part
may be two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or the like. The widths and the
depths of all the cutouts 2112 may be provided to be the same.
[0301] On one hand, the multiple cutouts 2112 are beneficial to increasing the expansion
degree of the sewage intake connection part 23, thereby further reducing the difficulty
in installation. On the other hand, the multiple cutouts 2112 are beneficial to dispersing
the force exerted by the expansion and deformation of the sewage intake connection
part 23, so that the force exerted on the sewage intake connection part 23 is more
balanced, and the risk of tearing and failure of the sewage intake connection part
23 due to excessive expansion is reduced.
[0302] In one example, as shown in FIGS. 68 and 69, a length of the cutout 2112 is greater
than a width of the clamping protrusion 2111 in the axial direction of the sewage
intake connection part 23.
[0303] In an exemplary embodiment, an axial length of the threaded fastening sleeve 26 is
less than an axial length of the sewage intake connection part 23, as shown in FIG.
71.
[0304] In this way, the threaded fastening sleeve 26 may be sleeved on the sewage intake
connection part 23 in advance, and screwed to a part of the sewage intake connection
part 23 away from the toilet bowl 11. The sewage intake connection part 23 may be
sleeved on the sewage discharge connection part 13 with a threaded fastening sleeve
26. When the sewage intake connection part 23 is sleeved in place, the threaded fastening
sleeve 26 is screwed in a reverse direction so that the threaded fastening sleeve
26 is rotated to a part of the sewage intake connection part 23 close to the toilet
bowl 11, and the part is pressed in a radial direction to ensure a firm connection
between the sewage intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part
13. In addition, this is also helpful to prevent the threaded fastening sleeve 26
from being lost.
[0305] For a solution in which the sewage intake connection part 23 is further provided
with the cutout 2112, the threaded fastening sleeve 26 is sleeved on the sewage intake
connection part 23. In this way, the sewage intake connection part 23 may be prevented
from being torn due to the rearward extension of the cutout 2112 during the expansion
process, thereby improving the reliability of the sewage intake connection part 23.
[0306] The screwing direction of the threaded fastening sleeve 26 is not limited. For example,
the threaded fastening sleeve 26 is screwed to the rear part of the sewage intake
connection part 23 in a counterclockwise direction, and when the sewage intake connection
part 23 is sleeved in place, the threaded fastening sleeve 26 is screwed to a front
part of the sewage intake connection part 23 in a clockwise direction.
[0307] In an exemplary embodiment, an end of the threaded fastening sleeve 26 close to the
toilet bowl 11 abuts against the toilet seat body 1, as shown in FIGS. 70 and 71.
[0308] Thus, when the threaded fastening sleeve 26 is screwed to contact the toilet seat
body 1 during assembly, further screwing may be stopped. In this way, the toilet seat
body 1 has a positioning effect on the assembly of the threaded fastening sleeve 26,
and it is possible to prevent the threaded fastening sleeve 26 from being unduly screwed.
[0309] In an exemplary embodiment, an outer sidewall of the threaded fastening sleeve 26
is provided with an instruction and identification part.
[0310] This facilitates the installation worker to screw the threaded fastening sleeve 26
in a correct direction according to the instruction and identification part, and avoids
the process of trial assembling of the threaded fastening sleeve 26 in forward and
reverse directions, which is further beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency
of the toilet device.
[0311] In one example, the instruction and identification part is a protruding edge 260
provided at an end of the threaded fastening sleeve 26, as shown in FIGS. 67 and 71.
[0312] In this way, the protruding edge 260 may not only serve as an instruction and identification,
but also help to increase a rotating torque of the threaded fastening sleeve 26. This
helps to reduce an acting force exerted by the threaded fastening sleeve 26, thereby
further reducing the difficulty in installation and improving the assembly efficiency.
[0313] Alternatively, the instruction and identification part is not limited to this form,
but may include indicative arrows, indicative characters, or the like.
[0314] In an exemplary embodiment, the toilet device further includes a first sealing element
(not shown in figures). At least one of the sewage intake connection part 23 and the
sewage discharge connection part 13 is provided with a first installation groove (not
shown in figures). The first sealing element is installed in the first installation
groove and abuts against an axial end face of the sewage intake connection part 23
and an axial end face of the sewage discharge connection part 13 to form an end face
seal.
[0315] The first sealing element may realize an axial seal between the sewage intake connection
part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13, which is beneficial to preventing
sewage or odor from leaking out between the sewage intake connection part 23 and the
sewage discharge connection part 13. Thus it is beneficial to improving the reliability
of the toilet device and improving the user experience.
[0316] In an exemplary embodiment, the toilet device further includes a second sealing element
(not shown in figures). At least one of the sewage intake connection part 23 and the
sewage discharge connection part 13 is provided with a second installation groove
(not shown in figures). The second sealing element is installed in the second installation
groove and abuts against a radial inner end of the sewage intake connection part 23
and a radial outer end of the sewage discharge connection part 13 to form a radial
seal.
[0317] The second sealing element may realize a radial seal between the sewage intake connection
part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13, which is further beneficial to
preventing sewage or odor from leaking out between the sewage intake connection part
23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13. Thus it is beneficial to improving
the reliability of the toilet device and improving the user experience.
[0318] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG. 71, a sealing groove 1325 is provided
in the sewage discharge connection part 13, and a sealing element 4 is provided in
the sealing groove 1325.
[0319] A stopper protrusion 2114 is provided on an inner sidewall of the sewage intake connection
part 23, and the stopper protrusion 2114 abuts against and cooperates with an end
of the sewage discharge connection part 13 away from the toilet bowl 11.
[0320] An outer sidewall of the sealing element 4 abuts against the inner sidewall of the
sewage intake connection part 23, and an axial end face of the sealing element 4 away
from the toilet bowl 11 abuts against the stopper protrusion 2114.
[0321] In this solution, the cooperation between the stopper protrusion 2114 and the sewage
discharge connection part 13 may position the assembly of the sewage discharge box
21, and prevent the sewage discharge box 21 from being pushed excessively toward the
sewage intake connection part 23 in the axial direction.
[0322] Since the inner sidewall of the sealing element 4 abuts against the outer sidewall
of the sewage discharge connection part 13, and the outer sidewall of the sealing
element 4 abuts against the inner sidewall of the sewage intake connection part 23,
a radial seal between the sewage intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge
connection part 13 may be achieved. Since an axial end face (i.e., a front end face)
of the sealing element 4 close to the toilet bowl 11 is in contact with the sewage
discharge connection part 13, and an axial end face (i.e., a rear end face) of the
sealing element 4 away from the toilet bowl 11 abuts against the stopper protrusion
2114, an axial seal between the sewage intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge
connection part 13 may be achieved.
[0323] In this way, the axial seal and the radial seal between the sewage intake connection
part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13 may be realized by using one sealing
element 4, which effectively improves the sealing reliability between the sewage discharge
box 21 and the toilet seat body 1. The structure is simple, which is beneficial to
reducing costs and simplifying the installation process.
[0324] In one example, a portion of the outer sidewall of the tubular part 1322 located
on a rear side of the second annular flange 132 and the second annular flange 132
enclose the sealing groove 1325, so that a rear end of the sealing groove 1325 is
provided as open, and an radially outer end of the sealing groove 1325 is provided
as open. A structure of the entire sewage discharge connection part 13 is simpler.
[0325] In one example, as shown in FIGS. 70 and 71, a sealing element 4 is provided in the
sealing groove 1325. Since the sealing element 4 has elasticity, in order to achieve
a tighter seal, a radial thickness of the sealing element 4 when it is not pressed
is configured to be greater than a radial thickness of the second annular flange 132.
In this way, when sleeving between the sewage intake connection part 23 and the sewage
discharge connection part 13 is completed, the sealing element 4 simultaneously applies
pressure to the sewage intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge connection
part 13 in the radial direction due to its elasticity, so that a good radial sealing
effect is achieved between the sewage intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge
connection part 13.
[0326] Similarly, an axial width of the unpressed sealing element 4 is configured to be
greater than a distance from an end of the second annular flange 132 away from the
toilet bowl 11 to the stopper protrusion 2114. In this way, when the sleeving between
the sewage intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13 is
completed, the sealing element 4 presses the second annular flange 132 and the stopper
protrusion 2114 in the axial direction by pressing the second annular flange 132 and
the stopper protrusion 2114, so that a good axial sealing effect is achieved between
the sewage intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13.
[0327] Moreover, an embodiment of the present application allows the above-mentioned sealing
elements (the first sealing element, the second sealing element, and the sealing element)
to maintain a large compression amount, so as to reduce the poor sealing of the ceramic
toilet seat body1 due to greater size fluctuations.
[0328] In an exemplary embodiment, the anti-rotation structure is provided between the sewage
intake connection part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13 for limiting
the rotation of the sewage discharge box 21 relative to the toilet seat body 1.
[0329] As a quantity of times of the sewage discharge pipe 22 being rotated for sewage discharge
is increased, the sewage intake connection part 23 of the sewage discharge box 21
may rotate in a circumferential direction with respect to the sewage discharge connection
part 13, which may cause the sewage discharge box 21 to deviate from the original
upright position and affect the sewage discharge performance. Therefore, by providing
the anti-rotation structure between the sewage intake connection part 23 and the sewage
discharge connection part 13, the rotation of the sewage discharge box 21 relative
to the toilet seat body1 may be limited, thereby improving the position stability
of the sewage discharge box 21 and the sewage discharge pipe 22, and ensuring the
service reliability of the sewage discharge mechanism 1.
[0330] In an exemplary embodiment, the anti-rotation structure includes an anti-rotation
protrusion 92 (as shown in FIG. 73) and an anti-rotation recess 91 (as shown in FIG.
72). One of the sewage discharge connection part 13 and the sewage intake connection
part 23 is provided with the anti-rotation recess 91, and the other of the sewage
discharge connection part 13 and the sewage intake connection part 23 is provided
with the anti-rotation protrusion 92. The anti-rotation recess 91 and the anti-rotation
protrusion 92 are in a concave and convex fit to limit the rotation of the sewage
intake connection part 23 relative to the sewage discharge connection part 13. This
solution has a simple structure and is convenient for processing and molding.
[0331] In one example, as shown in FIG. 72, the anti-rotation recess 91 is provided at an
end of the sewage discharge connection part 13 away from the toilet bowl 11. As shown
in FIG. 73, the anti-rotation protrusion 92 is provided at the corresponding position
of the sewage intake connection part 23. When the sleeving between the sewage intake
connection part 23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13 is completed (at this
time, the sewage discharge box 21 is in an upright position), the anti-rotation protrusion
92 is inserted into the anti-rotation recess 91, and a shape and size of the anti-rotation
protrusion 92 matches a shape and size of the anti-rotation recess 91, thereby preventing
the rotation of the sewage discharge box 21.
[0332] A quantity of anti-rotation recess(s) 91 may be one, or may be multiple. A quantity
of anti-rotation protrusion(s) 92 may be equal to and in one-to-one correspondence
with the anti-rotation recess(s) 91.
[0333] In other embodiments, the anti-rotation recess 91 may be located in the sewage intake
connection part 23, and the anti-rotation protrusion 92 may be provided correspondingly
on the sewage discharge connection part 13.
[0334] Of course, the anti-rotation structure is not limited to the above-mentioned solution.
The anti-rotation function may be played as long as the sewage intake connection part
23 and the sewage discharge connection part 13 form a non-circular fitting structure
in the circumferential direction.
[0335] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 68, 69 and 71, the sewage discharge
mechanism 1 further includes the sewage discharge pipe 22 located within the sewage
discharge box 21, and the sewage discharge pipe 22 is communicated with the sewage
inlet 211 and is rotatable relative to the sewage discharge box 21. The sewage discharge
box 21 is internally provided with an insertion slot 252 with an opening facing away
from the sewage inlet, and an end of the sewage discharge pipe 22 is rotatably inserted
into the insertion slot 252.
[0336] A third sealing element 2115 for sealing the sewage discharge pipe 22 and the sewage
discharge box 21 is further provided in the insertion slot 252. The third sealing
element 2115 may be an oil seal.
[0337] In this way, the sewage discharge pipe 22 forms a dynamic seal with the sewage discharge
box 21 by the oil seal, so that the sewage discharge pipe 22 always seals a gap between
the sewage discharge pipe 22 and the sewage discharge box 21 during rotation with
respect to the sewage discharge box 21, thereby preventing the problems of water leakage
and returning of odor from occurring.
[0338] A connection protrusion 251 is provided inside the sewage discharge box 21, and the
connection protrusion 251 and the inner wall of the sewage discharge box 21 enclose
the insertion slot 252.
[0339] Alternatively, the third sealing element 2115 may also adopt other structural forms.
[0340] In this embodiment, both the sewage discharge pipe 22 and the sewage discharge box
21 are plastic elements. In other embodiments, the sewage discharge pipe 22 and the
sewage discharge box 21 may also be made of other materials.
[0341] As shown in FIGS. 68, 69 and 71, the insertion slot 252 is located outside the circumferential
edge of the sewage inlet 211, and a depth and a width of the insertion slot 252 are
suitable for receiving an end of the sewage discharge pipe 22, so that the sewage
discharge pipe 22 is partially inserted into the insertion slot. The sewage discharge
pipe 22 is communicated with the sewage outlet 12 of the toilet bowl 11 through the
sewage inlet 211 and an internal channel of the connection protrusion 251. The sewage
discharge pipe 22 is located in the sewage discharge box 21. When sewage is discharged,
the sewage in the toilet bowl 11 enters the sewage discharge pipe 22, rotates downward
with the sewage discharge pipe 22, as shown in FIG. 74, and is discharged from the
sewage discharge pipe 22 under an action of gravity. The sewage is discharged into
the floor sewage discharge pipeline through the dirt outlet 253 of the sewage discharge
box 21 and through the shifter 51.
