Soft close toilet seat dampers

Toilet damper is a kind of unidirectional rotary damper which can rotate 360 degrees. It made of damping is a very important component in hardware fittings.

How do toilet seat dampers work?

Dampers were first applied in aerospace, military and other industries, and their main role is shock absorption efficiency. Later, they were slowly applied to construction, furniture and hardware industries.  Dampers appear in various forms, such as pulsating dampers, magnetorheological dampers, rotary dampers, hydraulic dampers, etc. Different dampers may have different forms, but their principles are the same, they are all for reducing vibration, converting friction into internal energy, and driving the operation of the whole system.

When the toilet falls, it drives the rotating shaft to rotate, and squeezes the damping oil from the large hole direction to the small hole direction through the spiral. It is generally used for the heavy weight of the cover plate, which is filled with a certain amount of damping oil. There is a rotating shaft in the middle, which is processed into a spiral shape and discharged from the direction of the hole, so it can only be discharged slowly, so as to realize the slow down function of the toilet.

Damping is helpful to reduce the resonance amplitude of the mechanical structure, so as to avoid the failure of the structure caused by the vibration stress reaching the limit. Damping helps a mechanical system to quickly return to a stable state after an instantaneous impact.

Damping helps to reduce the acoustic radiation caused by mechanical vibration and reduce mechanical noise. Many mechanical components, such as transportation vehicle shell, saw blade noise, mainly caused by vibration, damping can effectively suppress resonance, thereby reducing noise.

How to replace the toilet seat damper?

1. If the screw of the lid is loose, this time only need to use a screwdriver to tighten the screws on both sides of the good, can not tighten the need to replace the screw;

2. If it is caused by damping damage, in view of the high maintenance cost, it is generally enough to replace a new damping;

3. If inside a nylon mat is worn because of the reason of switch all the time, bring about did not have buffer effect, as long as the screw on both sides tightens a bit it is ok, as to change the word can wait until cannot tighten again when, of course, it is in won't do can call professional personnel to change, spend not a few money, save time and effort;

4. Toilet seat mounting holes of mount buffer wick, toilet seats and seat each have two connection handle connection, two connection handles on the toilet cover, a supporting role for the round hole, one for the flat hole, on the effect of torque, seat two connection handle connected to the cover of the handle is the same meaning, connection handle round, square hole and buffer wick axial flat a connection.

Remark: When buying pins, you must carefully measure the size and choose and buy accessories of the same model.
