Sitting-Squatting Mobile Toilet
A sitting-squatting mobile toilet is a type of toilet that combines sitting and squatting functions and has a certain degree of mobility, with various specific forms.
I. Portable Squatting Toilet Stool This type of stool is movable, made of thick and sturdy materials, and has been reinforced and strengthened. It has anti-slip and wear-resistant properties. Essentially, it is an independent squatting toilet device that does not rely on existing squatting or sitting toilets for installation, making it convenient for flexible use in different scenarios, such as outdoor activities and temporary construction sites.
II. Dual-purpose Sitting-Squatting Toilets There are various types of dual-purpose sitting-squatting toilets on the market. Some adopt a foldable wall-mounted design, such as the dual-purpose sitting-squatting toilet frame for the elderly, which can be folded and hung on the wall in the bathroom, saving space and facilitating installation. Some have an integrated design, like the German dual-purpose sitting-squatting toilet, which is highly integrated and has a relatively beautiful appearance. There are also those with intelligent functions, such as the dual-purpose intelligent toilet for home use, which is fully automatic, can be used for both sitting and squatting, has a water tank, and is not restricted by water pressure, providing a more comfortable and convenient user experience. These toilets are suitable for places like homes and hotels, meeting the usage habits of different groups of people.
III. Sitting Toilet Stool Directly Placed on the Squatting Toilet Taking the HOUYA squatting-to-sitting toilet converter as an example, it is a U-shaped stool with a notch that is directly placed on top of the squatting toilet. When a person sits on it to use the toilet, the excrement falls into the original squatting pit. Its advantages are that it is cheap, requires no construction, and can be used immediately after being placed, making it suitable for temporary transitions, situations with extremely low budgets, or when renting a house and it is inconvenient to replace the toilet. However, it has some shortcomings, such as no flushing function, requiring the user to fetch water for flushing after each use; a fixed sitting height, and the gap between the stool surface and the squatting toilet is prone to dirt accumulation over long-term use, so the cleaning frequency needs to be increased; and the odor control effect depends on the trap of the original squatting toilet.
IV. Foldable Sitting Toilet Chair Similar in logic to the sitting toilet stool, it is placed on the squatting toilet for use and has a structure more like a chair, usually with a backrest or more complete seat support. For example, the Yagao black foldable simple sitting toilet adopts a thickened and reinforced X-shaped cross metal frame, an environmentally friendly baking paint process, and a hollow O-shaped soft cushion made of resin PP plastic for the seat surface, making it more comfortable and stable to use.
V. Economical, Simple, and Practical Mobile Toilets These can be used in places such as outdoor restrooms, parks and scenic spots, and camping bases. They have an irregular overall shape, are covered with waterproof materials on top, and have mobile hooks for easy movement by lifting. The toilet frames are all made of galvanized materials, which are sturdy and durable.
