For example, they might be fixed connection, detachable connection, or integrated connection; might be direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium, and might be internal connection of two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above-mentioned terms in the present application can be understood under specific circumstances.
[0052] As shown in
[0053] As shown in
[0054] As shown in
[0055] The connector 1 is provided with a plurality of first mounting holes 6 and second mounting holes 7 around the sewage hole 4, which respectively penetrate through the first part 2 and the second part 3 of the connector 1. The first mounting holes 6 are configured to mount the connector 1 onto the seat bowl 100; for example, bolts can be inserted from the second part side to the first part side to fix the connector 1 to the seat bowl 100, and the first sealing ring 5 therebetween is also pressed. The second mounting holes 7 are configured to mount the connector 1 onto the base 200; for example, nuts may be pre-embedded at the first part side, and after the seat bowl 100 and the connector 1 are mounted, bolts may be inserted upward from the lower part of the base 200 to cooperate with the pre-embedded nuts to fix the base 200 with the connector 1.
[0056] As shown in
[0057] Further, in order to solve the problem that opening precision of the ceramic seat bowl 100 is low and it is difficult to match, the embedding part 8 is surrounded by a plurality of fins which are distributed at intervals and able to be squeezed to deform, for example, elastic plastic sheets are adopted. These fins 9 may be configured to be evenly spaced along an outer wall of the embedding part 8; and an extending direction of each fin 9 is parallel to a connecting direction X between the seat bowl 100 and the connector 1, and extends vertically in
[0058] As shown in
[0059] As shown in
[0060] The connector 1 is also provided with an up water pipe hole 15 and a down water pipe hole 16 which are adjacent to each other and penetrate through the first part 2 and the second part 3 of the connector respectively, so as to penetrate through an up water pipe and a down water pipe respectively (not shown). As shown in
[0061] The seat bowl 100 has a hollow structure in which water can be stored. As shown in
[0062] As shown in
[0063] As shown in
[0064] As shown in
[0065] Further, in order to better fix the second sealing ring 20 and prevent it from falling off, as shown in
[0066] In the present embodiment, the sealing between the connector 1 and the base 200 mainly depends on the second sealing ring 20, and the stable connection therebetween mainly depends on the buckle body 19.
[0067] As shown in
[0068] The second embodiment of the present application provides a portable toilet, as shown in
[0069] As shown in
[0070] As shown in
[0071] As shown in
[0072] The connector 1 is provided with a plurality of first mounting holes 6 around the sewage hole 4, which respectively penetrate through the first part 2 and the second part 3 of the connector 1. The first mounting holes 6 are configured to mount the connector 1 onto the seat bowl 100; for example, bolts can be inserted upward from the lower part to fix the connector 1 to the seat bowl 100, and the first sealing ring 5 therebetween is also pressed.
[0073] The seat bowl 100 is made of ceramic material, and a recessed embedding groove 101 is formed in a bottom of the seat bowl. The connector 1 can be made of plastic material. The first part 2 of the connector is provided with a protruding embedding part 8 which is matched with the embedding groove 101; and by inserting the embedding part 8 into the embedding groove 101, the seat bowl 100 and the connector 1 can be matched and aligned.
[0074] Further, in order to solve the problem that opening precision of the ceramic seat bowl 100 is low and it is difficult to match, the embedding part 8 is surrounded by a plurality of fins 9 which are distributed at intervals and able to be squeezed to deform, for example, elastic plastic sheets are adopted. These fins 9 may be configured to be evenly spaced along an outer wall of the embedding part 8; and an extending direction of each fin 9 is parallel to the connecting direction X of the seat bowl 100 and the connector 1. A bottom of each fin 9 is fixed to the first part 2. A chamfer is formed at one end of each fin 9 toward/near the seat bowl 100, so as to guide the embedding part 8 and the fin 9 to be inserted into the embedding groove 101. When the seat bowl 100 is connected with the connector 1, the embedding part 8 and its fins 9 are in interference fit in the embedding groove 101 at the bottom of the seat bowl 100; in this process, at least part of the fins 9 will be squeezed, deformed, and possibly partially damaged, so as to be completely fill in the embedding groove 101; with the effect the same as that of the first embodiment.
[0075] The seat bowl 100 is provided with a water nozzle; the base 200 can store sewage; this technical solution is known in the prior art, such as disclosed in CN103147499A. In the present embodiment, water from the outside is directly connected to the water nozzle of the seat bowl 100 to wash the seat bowl 100, and then flows into the sewage tank in the base 200 through the sewage hole 4, so that no up water pipe nor down water pipe are provided as that in the first embodiment.
[0076] As shown in
[0077] As shown in
[0078] In order to better fix the second sealing ring 20 and prevent it from falling off, as shown in
[0079] In the present embodiment, the sealing between the connector 1 and the base 200 mainly depends on the second sealing ring 20, and the stable connection therebetween mainly depends on the buckle bodies 19.
[0080] The first part 2 and the second part 3 of the connector may be formed with a plurality of recessed parts 22 to reduce the weight of the connector 1.
[0081] It can be seen that compared with the first embodiment, the third embodiment omits the up water pipe hole 15 and the down water pipe hole 16; it is not necessary to have the up water pipe hole and the down water pipe hole because the water is directly fed; and structures such as the second mounting holes 7 are also omitted. In addition, in the third embodiment, the connector 1 can rotate relative to the base 200, which improves the flexibility of the use scenario. It can be understood that some technical solutions of the two embodiments can be mutually referenced based on actual situations, such as the arrangement of the locking ring, the arrangement of the mesh-like reinforcing ribs, etc.
[0082] A fourth embodiment of the present application provides a portable toilet, as shown in
[0083] Further, a clean water tank 300 for storing clean water is provided on the base 200, which is connected with the seat bowl 100 and able to directly provide clean water for the seat bowl 100.
[0084] An upper surface of the base 200 has one or more recessed second grooves 203 (as shown in
[0085] In some embodiments, as shown in
[0086] In addition, the clean water tank 300 may also be provided with components such as water adding port and water flush button, which are well known to those skilled in the art.
[0087] Finally, it should be noted that the various embodiments in the present description are described in a progressive way, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments, so it is necessary to refer to the same and similar parts between the embodiments.
[0088] The embodiments are only described as preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application. Various modifications and improvements made on the technical solutions of the present application by ordinary skill in the art without departing from the design spirit of the present application shall fall within the protective scope confirmed by the claims of the present application.
