FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a toilet seat; more particularly, relates to easily assembling the toilet seat and hiding water tubes and electrical wires to obtain beauty.

DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ARTS

A general toilet seat comprises a seat, a cover, a main body and a water tank connecting to the main body. On assembling, the main body is fixed on a ground of a bathroom or a toilet with cement; the main body is connected with a draining tube; and the water tank is connected with a water-supplying system. After a user finishes using the toilet seat, a control valve on the water tank is pressed to flush the main body with water from the water tank so that egestion is drained into a septic tank through the draining tube.

Although the main body of the toilet seat is flushed to drain egestion, the assembly of the toilet seat is not convenient owing to fixing the main body on the ground with cement. And the replacement of the toilet seat becomes even difficult with an additional process of removing the cement. Furthermore, when the weather is cold, the seat is cold too. Therefore, when the toilet seat is used late at night or in the early morning, the seat brings discomfort owing to the cold touch.

Thence, a warm toilet seat is invented, comprising a main body; a water tank connected with the main body; a seat having a heating and washing unit; and a cover. On assembling, the toilet seat is fixed on the ground of a bathroom or a toilet with cement; the main body is connected with a draining tube; and the water tank is connected with a water-supplying system. On using the toilet seat, the seat can be heated to become warm.

After finishing using the toilet seat, a spray unit sprays a warm water coordinated with a heater for washing a user. Then, a control valve on the water tank is pressed to flush the main body with water from the water tank so that egestion is drained into a septic tank through the draining tube.

Although the warm toilet seat overcomes the discomfort of the general toilet seat, the assembly of the toilet seat is still inconvenient owing to fixing the main body on the ground with cement, and the replacement of the toilet seat remains so difficult with the additional process of removing the cement. Moreover, water tubes and electrical wires are exposed in the air downgrading the beauty of the toilet seat. The water tubes and the electrical wires may be eroded and corroded; and the electrical wires may be short-circuited or even an electric leakage may happen. Hence, the prior arts do not fulfill users'requests on actual use.
