Therefore, the driven member 3 and the abutting member 4 can be guided to move towards or away from each other.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, preferably, a movable chamber 31 is provided in the driven member 3, and a guide portion is provided on an inner wall of the movable chamber 31; the abutting member 4 is arranged to drive the split nut 5 to move along the guide portion to guide the engagement or disengagement of the split nut 5; and the guide portion is an inclined guide surface 32 and/or a dovetail groove 33.

[0022] As shown in FIGs. 1, 2, and 4, preferably, a first elastic member 7 is provided between the split nut 5 and the driven member 3, and the first elastic member 7 is arranged to drive the split nut 5 to reset; or there is a repulsive magnetic force between the split nut 5 and the driven member 3, and the repulsive magnetic force is arranged to drive the split nut 5 to reset; or there is an attractive magnetic force between the abutting member 4 and the split nut 5, and the attractive magnetic force is arranged to drive the split nut 5 to reset. When the abutting member 4 and the driven member 3 rotate relative to each other and move towards each other, the split nut 5 is gradually engaged. When the abutting member 4 and the driven member 3 rotate relative to each other and move away from each other, the split nut 5 is gradually disengaged under the drive of the first elastic member 7 or the repulsive magnetic force or the attractive magnetic force. Preferably, the first elastic member 7 may be a spring or other components with elastic deformation, and is not limited to this.

[0023] As shown in FIGs. 1, 2, and 4, preferably, an inclined guide surface 32 is provided on an inner wall of the movable chamber 31; the inclined guide surface 32 gradually approaches an axis of the movable chamber 31 from a side close to the abutting member 4 to a side away from the abutting member 4, and is used for guiding the engagement or disengagement of the split nut 5; and the first elastic member 7 is arranged to drive the split nut 5 to move toward the abutting member 4 to reset and allowing an outer circumferential surface of the split nut 5 to abut against the inclined guide surface 32 during the movement. The abutting member 4 moves away from the driven member 3 under the action of the guiding inclined surface 41, and under the action of the first elastic member 7, the split nut 5 is driven to move along the guide portion towards the abutting member 4 and gradually moves away from the axis of the movable chamber 31, to achieve the disengagement of the split nut 5. On the contrary, the abutting member 4 moves towards the driven member 3 and gradually presses the split nut 5 to gradually engage.

[0024] As shown in FIGs. 1, 2, and 8, preferably, a dovetail groove 33 is provided on the inner wall of the movable chamber 31 at a position that avoids the inclined guide surface 32, and is used for cooperating with the inclined guide surface 32 to guide the movement of the split nut 5.

The second elastic member 8 or the repulsive magnetic force keeps the abutting member 4 close to the driven member 3. When the driven member 3 rotates forward and approaches under the action of the guiding inclined surface 41, the abutting member 4 pushes against the split nut 5 for engagement or semi-engagement, achieving a pre-locking function and facilitating subsequent tightening of the split nut 5 with the locking stud 6. The restoring force of the second elastic member 8 is greater than that of the first elastic member 7. Preferably, the second elastic member 8 may be a spring or other components with elastic deformation, and is not limited to this.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 7, preferably, the abutting member 4 is provided with the guiding inclined surface 41, and one end of the guiding inclined surface 41 is provided with a first limit portion 43; the driven member 3 is provided with the guide rib 34; during forward rotation of the driving member 2, the abutting member 4 moves towards the driven member 3 to drive the split nut 5 to engage with the locking stud 6; and when the guide rib 34 abuts against the first limit portion 43 for limiting, the abutting member 4 moves together with the driven member 3 to lock the split nut 5 with the locking stud 6.

[0027] As shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 7, preferably, the other end of the guiding inclined surface 41 is provided with a second limit portion 44; during reverse rotation of the driving member 2, the abutting member 4 moves away from the driven member 3 to drive the split nut 5 to disengage from the locking stud 6; and when the guide rib 34 abuts against the second limit portion 44 for limiting, the abutting member 4 moves together with the driven member 3 to disengage the split nut 5 from the locking stud 6. The first limit portion 43 and the second limit portion 44 cooperate with a guide rib 34 to limit a relative rotation angle between the driven member 3 and the abutting member 4. The length of the guide rib 34 is equal to an axial distance between two ends of the guiding inclined surface 41 plus a size of the second limit portion 44, enabling the driven member 3 to interact with the guiding inclined surface 41 on the abutting member 4 when rotating and to move away from or towards the abutting member, to ensure that the split nut 5 can be smoothly engaged or disengaged.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 10, preferably, elastic one-way teeth 42 are provided on an outer circumferential surface of the abutting member 4, and a plurality of limit protrusions 11 are provided on an inner circumferential surface of the body 1 at positions opposite to the one-way teeth 42; and when the abutting member 4 moves away from the driven member 3, the one-way teeth cooperate with the limit protrusions 11 to increase damping against the abutting member 4 during rotation. The one-way teeth 42 provided on the abutting member 4 cooperate with the limit protrusions 11 of the body 1 to increase resistance during counterclockwise rotation (the resistance can better ensure that the abutting member 4 first moves away from the driven member 3 (to disengage the split nut 5), and then rotates together with the driven member 3 after being in place), so that when the split nut 5 is loosened by reverse rotation, the abutting member 4 and the driven member 3 preferentially slide relative to each other along the guiding inclined surface 41, and then the abutting member 4 moves away from the driven member 3, ensuring that the split nut 5 is completely disengaged from the stud 6 and the toilet can be smoothly removed.

[0029] As shown in FIGs. 1, 4, 6, and 8 to 10, preferably, the body 1 is shaped as a three-way pipe provided with a first opening, a second opening, and a third opening; the first opening and the second opening are arranged on both sides of the body; the abutting member 4 and the driven member 3 are located at the first opening and the second opening respectively; the locking stud 6 is arranged to penetrate the first opening and the second opening; and the third opening is arranged at an upper end of the body 1, and the driving member 2 is arranged at the third opening. One end of the body 1 near the abutting member 4 is covered by the end cover 9.

[0030] As shown in FIGs. 1, 2, 5, and 7, preferably, first engaging teeth 35 are provided on an outer circumferential surface of the driven member 3, second engaging teeth 21 are provided on an outer circumferential surface of the driving member 2, and the first engaging teeth 35 are arranged to engage with the second engaging teeth 21; and an upper end surface of the driving member 2 is provided with a locking groove used for cooperating with a tool. The locking groove may be a cross groove, a plum blossom groove, a straight groove, a hexagonal groove, etc., and is not limited to these. The locking groove facilitates the use of the tool 10 to drive the driving member 2 to rotate, thereby driving the driven member 3 to rotate.

[0031] The utility model has the following working principle:
Before mounting, the driving member 2 is first rotated clockwise to ensure that the split nut 5 is in an engaged or semi-engaged state, as shown in FIG. 8. When the toilet and the locker are mounted together with the locking stud 6, the split nut 5 is disengaged along the inclined guide surface 32 (dovetail groove 33) on the driven member 3 under a pushing force of the locking stud 6 penetrating into the body from a side with the limit portion, and is smoothly mounted, as shown in FIG. 9. After the toilet is mounted in place, the split nut 5 is gradually engaged along the inclined guide surface 32 and the dovetail groove 33 on the driven member 3 under an elastic force of the abutting member 4. At this time, the toilet can be loosened by hand, the split nut 5 is engaged with the locking stud 6 and tightened under the gravity of the toilet, and the toilet will not fall. Then, the driving member 2 continues to be rotated clockwise, and the split nut 5 rotates forward with the driven member 3, finally locking the toilet to the wall, as shown in FIG. 10.

[0032] When loosening, the driving member 2 is rotated counterclockwise, and the split nut 5 rotates reversely with the driven member 3 and gradually disengages from the locking stud 6. At the same time, the abutting member 4 also gradually moves away from the driven member 3 under the action of the guiding inclined surface 41. Then, the split nut 5 can be completely disengaged under the action of the first elastic member and the inclined guide surface 32 (dovetail groove 33) on the driven member 3. Finally, threads on the split nut 5 are completely disengaged from threads on the locking stud 6, and the toilet can be removed from the locking stud 6.

[0033] The following points should be noted: Firstly, in the description of the present application, it should be noted that unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "mount", "connected", and "connection" should be broadly understood, for example, the term "connection" may be mechanical connection, electrical connection, internal communication between two elements, or direct connection; the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", etc. are merely used for representing relative positional relationships; and when the absolute position of a described object changes, the relative positional relationship may change.
