The sleeve at the bottom of the seatring of the cover is one step forming, the control cavity is long, so that the rate of the products in the demoulding production is low, the service life of the mold is low; secondly the control cavities is assembled with the lock catch, the pushing rod and the key, ete, they are assembled in the cover, making the operation difficult; thirdly, the sleeve is disposed with long groove, which is easily received dirt.

Summary of the invention

To solve above problems, the present invention is provided with a connecting mechanism of a cover of a toilet with easy assembly and disassembly.

The technical proposal of the present invention is as below: A connecting mechanism of a cover of a toilet with easy assembly and disassembly comprises two supports capable of being connected and fixed to the toilet and having support shafts, and an independent hinge tube capable of being hinge-connected in the middle of the rear portion of the cover. Dampers and pivot mechanisms are fitted and fixed on both ends of the hinge tube. The damper located on the open end of the hinge tube is capable of being inserted into and connected to a shaft hole of the cover. An insertion hole is disposed radially on the pivot mechanism. A through hole for the support shaft to pass through is disposed in the hinge tube at a position corresponding to the insertion hole. The support shaft passes through the through hole to be inserted into and connected to the insertion hole of the pivot mechanism. A keying mechanism is mounted in the middle of the hinge tube. A key panel is fastened to an arrow-shaped push block.

An urging rod having a chamfer on the top is disposed on two sides of the push block respectively.

The push block may press against the chamfers to push distal ends of the two urging rods to displace toward two sides thereof to press against the pivot mechanism. The pivot mechanisms are pressed against and controlled to lock or unlock the support shaft inserted into and connected to the pivot mechanisms, and the support shafts are unlocked by just one press, thereby disassembling the cover from the toilet rapidly.
