Abstract

The present invention provides a toilet assembly which includes a case and a toilet bowl. The toilet bowl extends from a bottom of the case and toward a direction away from the case, wherein the case is disposed with at least one partition. The partition divides an interior of the case into a first reservoir area and a urinal area. The first reservoir area is adapted to reserve water. At least one surface of the urinal area is formed with an opening, and the opening is adapted for a user to urinate. Thereby, the urinal area can be formed in one piece with and on one side of the toilet assembly. Consequently, it can save the use of water consuming when male users urinates, and it can save the space in the lavatory. Further, the male users can urinate in front of the urinal area without opening the seat lid.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A toilet assembly comprising:
 a case;   a toilet bowl, extending from a bottom of the case and toward a direction away from the case;   wherein the case is disposed with at least one partition, the partition divides an interior of the case into a first reservoir area and a urinal area, the first reservoir area is adapted to reserve water, at least one surface of the urinal area is formed with an opening, and the opening is adapted for a user to urinate.   
     
     
         2 . The toilet assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the urinal area is disposed at one of two sides of the case, and a horizontal extending direction of the opening forms a preset inclined angle to an extending direction of the toilet bowl. 
     
     
         3 . The toilet assembly of  claim 2 , wherein the urinal area comprises a tank, a urine collection recess, an inlet channel, and a flush channel, the tank defines a second reservoir area, the urine collection recess is disposed under a bottom wall of the tank, the inlet channel is disposed on the partition, the inlet channel communicates between the first reservoir area and the second reservoir area, so that water flows from the first reservoir area into the second reservoir area, and the flush channel communicates between the second reservoir area and the urine collection recess. 
     
     
         4 . The toilet assembly of  claim 3 , wherein a bottom of the inlet channel is within a preset distance from the bottom wall of the tank, so that the partition, which is between the bottom of the inlet channel and the bottom wall of the tank, is formed as a blocking wall. 
     
     
         5 . The toilet assembly of  claim 2 , wherein the case comprises a first inlet pipe, the first inlet pipe is adapted to direct water into the first reservoir area, the urinal area comprises a flush channel, a urine collection recess, and a second inlet pipe, the flush channel communicates between the second inlet pipe and the urine collection recess, the second inlet pipe is adapted to direct water therein, so that the water flows out from the flush channel directly. 
     
     
         6 . The toilet assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the urinal area defines a urine collection recess, the urinal area comprises an outlet, a receiving recess, and a filter core, the outlet is located at bottom of the urinal area, the receiving recess communicates between the outlet and the urine collection recess, the filter core is received in the receiving recess, and the filter core contains a layer of isolating liquid. 
     
     
         7 . The toilet assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the urinal area comprises a flush device, the flush device comprises a switch and a valve, the valve is disposed at one end of the switch, the switch controls the valve to move between an open position and a close position, so that the valve selectively makes water flow from the flush channel into the urine collection recess. 
     
     
         8 . The toilet assembly of  claim 7 , wherein the switch comprises a press member and an elastic member, the elastic member is disposed between the press member and the urinal area, the valve comprises a rod and a block plate, the rod comprises a first end and a second end, the first end protrudes from the urine collection recess, the second end which connects to the press member penetrates through the flush channel and the second reservoir area, the block plate is disposed on the rod and located at one side of the urine collection recess, the elastic member provides an elastic force so as to elastically reposition the press member between a first position and a second position, the block plate is also driven to move between an open position and a close position. 
     
     
         9 . The toilet assembly of  claim 8 , wherein the urinal area further comprises a splash plate which is fixed in the urine collection recess and adjacent to the flush channel. 
     
     
         10 . The toilet assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the case further comprises a board which is pivoted to one side of the opening of the urinal area.
