The present disclosure relates to, but is not limited to, the kitchen and bathroom field, and in particular to a wall-mounted toilet bracket and a wall-mounted toilet system.
At present, there are generally two types of toilets sold on the market: floor-standing toilets and wall-mounted toilets. As people's pursuit of high quality has penetrated into all aspects of life, wall-mounted toilets are gradually favored by more and more consumers. However, the existing wall-mounted toilets usually need to be mounted by chiseling a wall or building a wall to bury a wall-mounted toilet bracket in the wall, which is troublesome and laborious, requires relatively high skills of the mounting master, and greatly increases the installation cost.
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.
An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a wall-mounted toilet bracket, including: a bracket body provided with a wall body connection portion and a toilet connection portion. The wall body connection portion is configured to be connected to a wall body so as to arrange the bracket body outside the wall body and to fix the bracket body on the wall body, and the toilet connection portion is configured to be connected to a toilet body so as to fix the toilet body to the bracket body. The bracket body is configured such that a projection of the bracket body on the wall body is located within a range of a projection of the toilet body on the wall body.
An embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a wall-mounted toilet system, including a wall-mounted toilet bracket and an in-wall sewage discharge pipe. The wall-mounted toilet bracket is fixed on a toilet body of the wall-mounted toilet bracket, and the toilet body is provided with a bowl. The in-wall sewage discharge pipe is configured to be able to communicate with the bowl.
Other aspects will become apparent after reading and understanding the drawings and detailed description.
The accompanying drawings are intended to provide a further understanding of technical schemes of the present disclosure and form a part of the specification, and are used to explain the technical schemes of the present disclosure together with embodiments of the present application, and not intended to form limitations on the technical schemes of the present disclosure.
In the drawings, components represented by respective reference signs are listed as follows:
Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other arbitrarily if there is no conflict.
The existing wall-mounted toilets usually need to be mounted by chiseling a wall or building a wall to bury a bracket thereof in the wall, which is time-consuming and laborious, and requires relatively high skills of the mounting master. Moreover, the existing wall-mounted toilets all have a water tank, resulting in relatively high racks, more materials used, and high costs.
An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a wall-mounted toilet bracket and a wall-mounted toilet system, which adopts an external wall-mounted toilet bracket, does not need to chisel or build a wall for the mounting, saves time and effort, and has relatively low skill requirements for a mounting master, thereby facilitating the reduction of mounting costs. Moreover, a turn-over sewage discharge mechanism is adopted to save the water tank, so that the wall-mounted toilet bracket can be shorter and smaller, which is conducive to saving materials, reducing production costs, and improving the overall aesthetics.
Embodiments of the present disclosure are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in
As shown in
A wall-mounted toilet bracket provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a bracket body 1. The wall body connection portion of the bracket body 1 is used to realize a connection between the wall-mounted toilet bracket and the wall body 6. The toilet connection portion is used for realizing a connection between the wall-mounted toilet bracket and the toilet body 2. Since the bracket body 1 is arranged outside the wall body, it is an external wall-mounted toilet bracket, which avoids the traditional wall-chiseling or wall-building mounting method of the wall-mounted toilet product, greatly saves labor and material costs, and reduces the skill requirements for the mounting master. In addition, the external wall-mounted toilet bracket does not need to break the wall and repair the wall during the subsequent maintenance process, thus also reducing the subsequent maintenance cost.
Further, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, a projection of the bracket body 1 on the wall body 6 is located within a range of a projection of the toilet body 2 on the wall body 6, that is, as shown in
In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in
The second vertical support arm 14 is provided opposite to the first vertical support arm 13, and a wall body connection portion is provided on the first vertical support arm 13 and the second vertical support arm 14. The first transverse support arm 11 is located between the first vertical support arm 13 and the second vertical support arm 14, and is fixedly connected to the first vertical support arm 13 and the second vertical support arm 14. A toilet connection portion is provided on the first transverse support arm 11.
In this embodiment, the first vertical support arm 13, the second vertical support arm 14, and the first transverse support arm 11 are connected to form an H-shaped structure. Compared with other more complex scheme designs, the structure of the present scheme is relatively simple, which is convenient for processing and molding, and is also conducive to saving raw materials, thereby reducing the production and processing cost.
Since the first vertical support arm 13 and the second vertical support arm 14 are outer contour parts of the bracket body 1, by providing the wall body connection portion on the first vertical support arm 13 and the second vertical support arm 14, connection parts between the bracket body 1 and the wall body 6 may be relatively dispersed. This is conducive to improving the connection strength of the wall-mounted toilet bracket and the wall body 6, and further improving the stability and reliability of the wall-mounted toilet system.
Since the toilet body 2 of a conventional wall-mounted toilet is usually connected to the wall-mounted bracket through a plurality of connection holes arranged horizontally at intervals, by providing the toilet connection portion on the first transverse support arm 11, the wall-mounted toilet bracket and the toilet body 2 may be connected in a conventional manner. In this way, excessive modification of the toilet body 2 can be avoided, and the popularization and use of the wall-mounted toilet bracket can be facilitated.
In an example, the first transverse support arm 11 is fixedly and horizontally connected between the first vertical support arm 13 and the second vertical support arm 14, so that the first vertical support arm 13 and the second vertical support arm 14 are connected as a whole through the first transverse support arm 11, thereby avoiding relative movement during mounting and use. Moreover, with this design, a structure of the bracket body 1 is relatively regular, which is convenient for processing and molding, and is also convenient for connection with the toilet body 2.
In an exemplary embodiment, the bracket body 1 further includes a second transverse support arm 12, as shown in
The second transverse support arm 12 is located between the first vertical support arm 13 and the second vertical support arm 14, and is fixedly connected to the first vertical support arm 13 and the second vertical support arm 14.
Thus, the second transverse support arm 12 may support the first vertical support arm 13 and the second vertical support arm 14, and prevent the first vertical support arm 13 and the second vertical support arm 14 from being deformed, thereby improving the strength and stability of the wall-mounted toilet bracket.
In addition, an avoidance space is formed between the first transverse support arm 11 and the second transverse support arm 12, which can be used for a sewage discharge pipe of the toilet body 2 to be butted with an in-wall sewage discharge pipe 4 in the wall body 6.
In an example, as shown in
In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in
Since the toilet body 2 is usually in a shape that is wide at top and narrow at bottom, the first vertical support arm 13 and the second vertical support arm 14 are provided in the above shape, so that the bracket body 1 may be adapted to the shape of the rear portion of the toilet body 2. This is conducive to balancing a force on the toilet body 2, and covering the wall-mounted toilet bracket using the toilet body 2, thereby improving the aesthetics of the toilet body 2 after wall-mounted assembly.
In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in
In an example, as shown in
Thus, a part where the bracket body 1 is connected to the wall body 6 and a part where the bracket body 1 is connected to the toilet body 2 are staggered in a vertical direction, which is conducive to dispersing stressed parts of the bracket body 1, thereby reducing the risk of deformation or even fracture of the bracket body 1, and improving the stability and reliability of the bracket body 1.
In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in
In other words, the bracket body 1 is provided with one first connection hole 16 at least at a left upper end, a left lower end, a right upper end, and a right lower end, respectively. The first connection hole 16 may be used to install an expansion bolt 5. As shown in
For a scheme in which the bracket body 1 includes a first vertical support arm 13 and a second vertical support arm 14, one first connection hole 16 is provided at each of upper and lower ends of the first vertical support arm 13 and the upper and lower ends of the second vertical support arm 14.
Alternatively, the first connection hole 16 may also be provided at a non-end portion of the first vertical support arm 13 and the second vertical support arm 14, which is conducive to increasing the number of connection parts between the bracket body 1 and the wall body 6, thereby further improving the connection strength and connection reliability between the bracket body 1 and the wall body 6.
The wall body connection portion is not limited to a form of the first connection hole 16, and may include, for example, a connection post, a clip hook, a clamp hole, or other structures.
In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in
For a conventional wall-mounted toilet, the toilet body is usually fixedly connected to the wall-mounted toilet bracket by two fasteners. Therefore, two second connection holes 17 are provided in the present scheme, which may realize a fixed connection between the toilet body 2 and the bracket body 1, conforms to the conventional installation habit, and may also reduce the modification of the toilet body 2.
As shown in
Alternatively, a quantity of the second connection holes 17 may also be three, four or even more. In this way, the connection strength between the toilet body 2 and the bracket body 1 is higher, and the fixation is more reliable.
Part of the second connection holes 17 may also be used as spare connection holes. For example, the quantity of the second connection holes 17 is four, but only two of the second connection holes 17 are used to mount the fixing bolts 7, as shown in
The toilet connection portion is not limited to a form of the second connection hole 17, and may include, for example, a connection post, a clamp hook, a clamp hole, or other structures.
In an exemplary embodiment, the first vertical support arm 13, the second vertical support arm 14, the first transverse support arm 11, and the second transverse support arm 12 are an integral structure. For example, the first vertical support arm 13, the second vertical support arm 14, the first transverse support arm 11, and the second transverse support arm 12 may be welded to form an integral structure, which is conducive to improving the strength and stability of the bracket body 1.
In an exemplary embodiment, the bracket body 1 is a carbon steel member.
The carbon steel member has high strength, which is conducive to improving the strength and reliability of the bracket body 1.
In an example, the bracket body 1 is a Q235 carbon steel member.
Alternatively, the bracket body 1 may also be made of other materials.
As shown in
The wall-mounted toilet bracket is fixed to a wall body 6. The toilet body 2 is fixed to the wall-mounted toilet bracket. The toilet body 2 is provided with a bowl 21, and the in-wall sewage discharge pipe 4 is configured to be able to communicate with the bowl 21.
Since the wall-mounted toilet system provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes the wall-mounted toilet bracket according to any one of the above embodiments, it has all the beneficial effects of any one of the above embodiments, which will not be described here in detail.
In an exemplary embodiment, a wall body connection portion is configured to be fixed to the wall body 6 by an M12 expansion bolt 5, as shown in
Compared with a commonly used M10 expansion bolt, the M12 expansion bolt may withstand higher shear forces, thereby helping to improve the connection strength and connection reliability between the wall-mounted toilet bracket and the wall body 6.
Alternatively, specification of the expansion bolt 5 may be changed with the design load-bearing requirements of the toilet body 2.
In an exemplary embodiment, a rear portion of the toilet body 2 (i.e., a toilet rear portion 24) is provided with an avoidance groove 242 for avoidance of at least a portion of the bracket body 1, as shown in
Provision of the avoidance groove 242 enables at least a portion of the bracket body 1 to be concealed in the avoidance groove 242, which is conducive to realizing the visual integration of the toilet body 22 and the wall body 6, thereby improving the aesthetics of the wall-mounted toilet bracket after mounting, and also reducing the mounting space occupied by the wall-mounted toilet system.
The bracket body 1 may be completely concealed in the avoidance groove 242. It is also possible that a small portion of a rear end of the bracket body 1 is located outside the avoidance groove 242, which is conducive to ensuring that the bracket body 1 may be tightly bonded to the wall body 6 to achieve a fixed connection.
In an example, the toilet mating portion includes at least two fixing holes 244, as shown in
The toilet mating portion is not limited to a form of the fixing hole 244, and may include, for example, a connection post, a clip hook, a clamp hole, or other structures.
In an exemplary embodiment, a groove wall of the avoidance groove 242 is further provided with an avoidance hole 245 for avoidance of an expansion bolt 5, as shown in
After the expansion bolt 5 is screwed into a wall body, a portion (such as a nut and a stud threaded to the nut) exposed on a side of the bracket body 1 facing the toilet body 2 may interfere with a rear portion of the toilet body 2 (i.e., a toilet rear portion 24). In order to avoid such a situation, an avoidance hole 245 capable of avoiding the portion exposed as described above (such as a nut and a stud threaded to the nut) is provided on the groove wall of the avoidance groove 242, so that the bracket body 1 may more fully enter the avoidance groove 242 and achieve a tight fit with the groove wall of the avoidance groove 242.
In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in
The depth of the avoidance groove 242 needs to be adapted to a thickness of the bracket body 1, so that the bracket body 1 may not only be concealed in the avoidance groove 242 as much as possible, and but also be tightly bonded with the wall body 6 and the groove wall of the avoidance groove 242 to achieve reliable connection.
Limiting the depth of the avoidance groove 242 to the aforementioned range may, on the basis that the bracket body 1 has sufficient strength, not only prevent the avoidance groove 242 from being too shallow and resulting in too few concealed parts of the bracket body 1, but also prevent the avoidance groove 242 from being too deep and resulting in too much influence on strength of the toilet body 2.
Of course, the depth b of the avoidance groove 242 is not limited to the aforementioned range, and may be adjusted as necessary in actual production process.
In an exemplary embodiment, the rear portion of the toilet body 2 (i.e., the toilet rear portion 24) is partially thickened to form a reinforcing portion 241, as shown in
Providing the toilet mating portion in the reinforcing portion 241 is conducive to improving force strength of the portion, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the toilet body 2 and the bracket body 1, and preventing the toilet body 2 from breaking or the like.
In an exemplary embodiment, a thickness a of the reinforcing portion 241 is in a range of 49 mm to 59 mm (e.g., 49 mm, 50 mm, 51 mm, 52 mm, 53 mm, 54 mm, 55 mm, 56 mm, 57 mm, 58 mm, 59 mm, or the like).
Limiting the thickness a of the reinforcing portion 241 to the aforementioned range may not only prevent the thickness of the reinforcing portion 241 from being too small and resulting in limited reinforcing effect, but also prevent the thickness of the reinforcing portion 241 from being too large and resulting in overweight of the toilet body 2.
Of course, the thickness a of the reinforcing portion 241 is not limited to the aforementioned range, and may be adjusted as necessary in actual production process.
In one example, as shown in
This not only ensures that the reinforcing portion 241 has sufficient strength, but also prevents the toilet mating portion from being too thick and resulting in difficulty in mounting the fixing bolt.
In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in
As shown in
In other words, the wall-mounted toilet system includes a wall-mounted toilet bracket, an in-wall sewage discharge pipe 4, a toilet body 2, and a sewage discharge device 3.
The rear portion of the toilet body 2 (i.e., the toilet rear portion 24) is fixed to the wall-mounted toilet bracket. The bracket body 1 of the wall-mounted toilet bracket is arranged outside the wall body 6 and fixedly connected to the wall body 6. The in-wall sewage discharge pipe 4 is embedded in the wall body 6. The sewage discharge device 3 is mounted in the toilet body 2 and communicates with the in-wall sewage discharge pipe 4, thereby realizing on-wall mounting of the toilet. The in-wall sewage discharge pipe 4 is mounted in the wall and discharges sewage into a public sewage channel. The mounting cavity 22 of the toilet body 2 is used for mounting a structure such as the sewage discharge device 3.
The sewage discharge device 3 is connected to the toilet body 2, and communicates with the in-wall sewage discharge pipe 4 for discharging sewage in the bowl 21 into the in-wall sewage discharge pipe 4 to realize the sewage discharging function. The sewage discharging principle is that in a standby state (as shown in
Moreover, since the sewage discharge device 3 can be mounted in the mounting cavity 22, and the toilet body 2 does not need to enter the wall, it is different from the traditional wall-mounted toilet that requires the flushing system to be buried in the false wall. Therefore, there is no need to remove the false wall during maintenance, cleaning and other operations, and the maintenance operation is relatively convenient.
It is precisely because a water tank is omitted that a weight and a size of the wall-mounted toilet system are greatly reduced, and therefore the entire toilet system can be supported by an external, smaller-sized wall-mounted toilet bracket.
The toilet body 2 may be a ceramic piece. Alternatively, it may also be a plastic piece, a stainless steel piece, or made of other materials.
In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in
The sewage discharge device 3 further includes a sewage discharge box 32 provided with a rotary connection hole 3211 for rotary connection to the rotary sewage discharge pipe 31. A main body of the rotary sewage discharge pipe 31 is located in the sewage discharge cavity and may rotate from up to down in the sewage discharge cavity. When sewage is discharged, the sewage in the bowl 21 enters the rotary sewage discharge pipe 31, rotates downwards with the rotary sewage discharge pipe 31, is discharged from the rotary sewage discharge pipe 31 under the action of gravity, and is discharged into the in-wall sewage discharge pipe 4 through the second sewage outlet 3221.
According to the present scheme, the sewage discharge cavity is provided by the sewage discharge box 32, which may prevent sewage from contacting the mounting cavity 22, thereby preventing sewage from leaking from the mounting cavity 22, and facilitating the mounting of other structures, such as a water inlet valve, in the mounting cavity 22.
In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in
Provision of the driving device 33 (such as a motor) enables automatic rotation of the rotary sewage discharge pipe 31. Thus, when there is a need to discharge sewage, the driving device 33 may drive the rotary sewage discharge pipe 31 to rotate to a sewage discharge position so as to realize the sewage discharge process. When the sewage discharging is completed, the driving device 33 may drive the rotary sewage discharge pipe 31 to rotate reversely from the sewage discharge position to an initial position, so that a water seal may be formed in the bowl 21.
The sewage discharge box 32 may be provided with a connection hole, as shown in
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the bracket body 1 includes a first vertical support arm 13, a second vertical support arm 14, a first transverse support arm 11, and a second transverse support arm 12. The bracket body 1 is a carbon steel member, such as Q235 carbon steel member. The bracket body 1 is fixedly connected to the wall body 6 by four M12 expansion bolts 5 and to the toilet body 2 by two fixing bolts 7. The toilet body 2 is provided with a reinforcing portion 241.
After the force analysis test, maximum position strength of the bracket body 1 is 203.65 MPa, which is lower than yield strength of Q235 carbon steel and meets design requirements.
A maximum shear force of the M12 expansion bolt 5 is 7400N. After the force analysis test, a total shear force of the M12 expansion bolts 5 is 4000N. Since the bracket body is fixed by four M12 expansion bolts 5, the shear force of a single M12 expansion bolt is 1000N, and the strength meets the design requirements. Therefore, the wall-mounted toilet bracket and the wall-mounted toilet system provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be stably mounted outside the wall body for use by a user.
