RU64038U1 - SEAT AUTO LIFT DEVICE WITH SHOWER COVER - Google Patents

Abstract

A seat lift device with a toilet lid expands functionality and increases comfort for users, (especially in public toilets), allowing you to raise and lower the toilet seat and lid by foot acting on the floor adapter.

The device consists of a seat 2 pivotally mounted on the toilet 1, with a cover 3 and a lifting mechanism 5 connected mechanically, by a tele drive or an electric drive, with a floor adapter 7, 8.

Description

The utility model relates to hygiene items for personal and household use.

Raising and lowering the toilet seat or lid, as a rule, requires a manual touch on their surfaces. This does not always suit people seeking to minimize contact with objects in the toilet rooms (especially in public), and also presents physical problems for certain groups of people with disabilities.

The most acceptable solution to the problem could be the use of seats with toilet lids, equipped with a device for automated lifting of the seat with a lid using a foot action.

Known toilet seat made in the form of an oval ring with a longitudinal axis of symmetry (RU, patent 2144304. publ. 2000.01.20, IPC A47K 13/00) - analogue.

Also known is a device comprising a toilet pivotally attached to the back of the toilet seat and a cover pivotally connected to the back of the seat, equipped with means for automatically lifting and holding the seat in the raised position when manually lifting the cover (RU, application No. 2002131914, publ. 2004.05.20 IPC A47K 13/26) is a prototype.

This technical solution allows you to raise and lower the toilet seat manually.

The disadvantage of the technical solution presented above is that the raising and lowering of the seat and the cover is made only by applying manual force and cannot be carried out with the help of a foot action.

The objective of this utility model is the creation and industrial production of a simple and inexpensive device for automatically raising the seat

with a toilet lid carried out by means of a foot action.

The technical result achieved as a result of using this utility model is to expand the functionality of the device and increase the convenience for users.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that the device for automatically raising a seat with a toilet lid includes a seat with a lid pivotally connected to the toilet and a lifting mechanism associated with the floor adapter.

The connection of the floor adapter with the lifting mechanism can be mechanical (via cables or link rods), a tele drive (via hydraulic or pneumatic connection) or an electric drive (electrical connection). At the same time, it remains possible to manually raise and lower the seat and cover.

The essence of the utility model lies in the design of the device.

The provision of a seat-lift device with a toilet lid by a link between the lifting mechanism and the floor adapter (mechanical, tele-drive, or electric drive) allows to expand its functionality and increase user convenience.

The concept of “tele-drive” (the description is given in classifier F15B- “Hydraulic and pneumatic actuators: general hydraulic pneumatic systems”) includes a system or device in which a constant amount of liquid or gas is enclosed between the input and output devices for hydraulic or pneumatic communication. The input and output devices of the tele-drive can include cavities or chambers interconnected (for example, by a pipeline). When a force is applied to an input device of a tele-drive, an equivalent force action is manifested from the side of the output device.

The term “adapter” means a device that receives external force and converts it for transmission to the lifting mechanism through the selected type of connection.

Structurally, the adapter is an outdoor device (in the form of a button, pedal or other configuration), consisting of a fixed part (platform) and, associated with it, a moving part.

From the moving part of the adapter, the foot action is transmitted to the lifting mechanism by one of the types of connections: mechanical (by means of cables or link rods); TV drive (through cameras input and output devices); electric drive (by turning on the switch of the electric circuit controlling the executive body of the electric drive).

The lifting mechanism converts the impact coming from the adapter into the turns of the seat and cover relative to the hinge fixed to the toilet. The order of rotation of the seat and cover, (joint or separate), is set by the switch for controlling the modes of the lifting mechanism.

The lifting mechanism may include various mechanical elements: levers, wings, swivel couplings, gear, worm, friction and other kinematic pairs. The executive body of the electric drive can be an electric motor or an electromagnet.

The utility model is illustrated by drawings, where:

figure 1 shows a General view of the device for automatic seat with a lid of the toilet, in which the connection of the adapter with the lifting mechanism is implemented using a moving cable.

In Fig.2 - the same thing with a rotating cable.

In figure 3. - the same with lever rods.

In figure 4. - the same thing using a telephoto drive.

Figure 5 is the same with the use of an electric drive.

The device for automatically raising a seat with a toilet lid, shown in fis. 1-5 contains: toilet 1, seat 2, cover 3, hinge 4, lifting mechanism 5, switch mode of the lifting mechanism 6, the base of the floor adapter 7 and its movable part 8, cable 9 , link rods 10, input 11 and output 12 of the tele-drive device, as well as the pipe 13 connecting them, an electric switch 14, an electric circuit 15, an actuator 16.

The operation of the device is as follows.

When you press the foot on the floor adapter, the force from its movable part 8 is transmitted to the lifting mechanism 5 by:

- rotation or movement of the cable 9 (Fig.1-2);

- moving the link rods 10 (figure 3);

- expansion of the output device 12 of the tele-drive, while compressing its input device 11 (figure 4);

- impact from the side of the executive body of the electric drive 16, caused by the inclusion of the switch 14 of the electrical circuit 15 (figure 5).

The lifting mechanism 5 rotates and fixes in the extreme positions of the seat 2 and the cover 3 around the hinge 4 connected to the toilet 1.

The switch 6 is used to select control modes of the lifting mechanism:

- I - raising and lowering the seat with the lid constantly raised;

- II - raising and lowering the cover with the seat constantly lowered.

- III - joint raising and lowering of the seat and cover.
