Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smart bathroom technology, and in particular to a smart toilet. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional toilets typically use elevated water tanks or gravity flushing systems, relying on a 30-50cm water level difference within the tank to generate potential energy and flush waste through a siphon effect. However, this flushing method has relatively low water pressure, which limits the flushing effect, especially when dealing with stubborn dirt or water-saving needs. It can easily lead to residue or require multiple flushes, affecting user experience and environmental performance.

[0003] To improve flushing efficiency, modern smart toilets generally use high-lift water pumps instead of traditional tanks. This enhanced siphon effect through pressurized water flow achieves fast and thorough flushing. However, while generating high-pressure water flow, high-lift pumps also rapidly compress air within the pipes, causing it to be violently expelled from the nozzle or drain, producing a noticeable popping sound. This not only affects user comfort but may also raise concerns about hygiene and product quality. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an innovative design that retains the flushing advantages of high-lift pumps while effectively suppressing the popping sound.

[0004] The above information disclosed in the background art of this application is only for understanding the background of the concept of this application, and does not indicate or imply that it includes information of the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a smart toilet to address the above problems.

[0006] This application provides a smart toilet, which includes:

[0007] Toilet seat, wherein a toilet bowl and a siphon channel connected to the toilet bowl are formed inside the toilet seat;

[0008] A flushing pipe, the first end of which is connected to the toilet bowl; and

[0009] A flushing assembly includes an exhaust pipe and a water pump. The water pump is connected to the second end of the flushing pipe. One end of the exhaust pipe is connected to the outside atmosphere, and the other end of the exhaust pipe extends into the second end and is higher than the water surface level inside the second end. The water surface level of the second end is level with the water surface level of the toilet bowl. When the water pump flushes the flushing pipe, the gas above the water surface level in the flushing pipe can be discharged through the exhaust pipe.

[0010] The aforementioned smart toilet can achieve at least the following beneficial effects: one end of the exhaust pipe is connected to the atmosphere, and the other end extends into the second end of the flushing pipe and is located above the water surface. Understandably, at the moment the water pump flushes the second end of the flushing pipe, the existing water in the flushing pipe tends to remain in place due to inertia. It can be considered that the existing water in the flushing pipe remains almost relatively still. The newly injected water from the pump, together with the existing water in the flushing pipe, compresses the air above the water surface at the second end of the flushing pipe, increasing the air pressure above the water surface and making it higher than the outside air pressure. Therefore, the air above the water surface in the flushing pipe can be quickly discharged through the exhaust pipe, effectively avoiding the explosive noise generated by the high-pressure water flow compressing the air. At the same time, the exhaust pipe's position above the water surface and connected to the outside atmosphere ensures effective air discharge and prevents water backflow, achieving noise reduction optimization while maintaining high-pressure flushing performance.

[0011] In some embodiments, the flushing assembly further includes a connecting pipe, one end of which is connected to the second end, and the other end of which is connected to the water pump. The water pump is connected to the flushing pipe through the connecting pipe, and one end of the vent pipe passes through the connecting pipe and is open to the outside atmosphere. By setting a connecting pipe between the flushing pipe and the water pump, and inserting the vent pipe through the connecting pipe, the vent pipe can be directly connected to the outside atmosphere. The connecting pipe makes the connection between the water pump and the flushing pipe more flexible and reliable, which is beneficial for optimizing the overall pipeline layout and improving assembly convenience.

[0012] In some embodiments, one end of the adapter pipe is detachably connected to the second end of the flushing pipe, and the other end of the adapter pipe is detachably connected to the outlet pipe of the water pump. This detachable connection design makes it easier to assemble and disassemble the adapter pipe from the flushing pipe and the water pump, which facilitates maintenance and replacement of parts, improves production assembly efficiency, helps reduce manufacturing costs, and enhances product maintainability.

[0013] In some embodiments, the second end of the flushing pipe is provided with a connector, the connector having a socket, and one end of the adapter pipe is detachably and sealedly inserted into the socket. This socket structure of the connector enables rapid positioning and installation of the adapter pipe and the flushing pipe. The plug-in sealed connection ensures both the airtightness and pressure resistance of the water system, while simplifying the assembly process. The socket design provides precise installation guidance for the adapter pipe, effectively preventing misalignment. Simultaneously, the detachable feature facilitates component replacement during later maintenance, ensuring both connection strength and ease of assembly.

[0014] In some embodiments, the smart toilet further includes a sealing ring that seals against the outer wall of the adapter pipe and the wall of the insertion hole. This sealing ring forms a reliable sealing interface between the adapter pipe and the insertion hole, effectively preventing leakage or insufficient airtightness during flushing. Simultaneously, the elastic deformation characteristics of the sealing ring compensate for assembly gaps caused by manufacturing tolerances and buffer pipe vibrations, ensuring long-term sealing stability while improving the durability and impact resistance of the connection structure.

[0015] In some embodiments, a limiting groove is formed on the outer wall of the adapter pipe, and the sealing ring is embedded in the limiting groove. This limiting groove structure mechanically fixes the position of the sealing ring, preventing it from shifting or falling off during assembly or use, thus ensuring sealing reliability. At the same time, the depth and width design of the limiting groove can maintain an appropriate amount of compression of the sealing ring to achieve effective sealing, while avoiding excessive compression that could cause permanent deformation or damage to the sealing ring, thereby maintaining stable sealing performance during long-term use.

[0016] In some embodiments, a limiting groove is formed on the wall of the insertion hole, and the sealing ring is embedded in the limiting groove.

[0017] In some embodiments, the flushing assembly further includes a bracket, on which the water pump, the vent pipe, and the adapter pipe are all mounted. This bracket, by integrating and fixing the water pump, vent pipe, and adapter pipe, optimizes the spatial layout of the flushing assembly, improves overall structural rigidity and assembly efficiency; the rigid support of the bracket effectively disperses pipeline vibration stress, reducing the risk of interface loosening. Simultaneously, the modular design of the entire flushing assembly, centrally connected to the bracket, facilitates quick disassembly and assembly during maintenance, balancing production standardization and after-sales convenience.

[0018] In some embodiments, the smart toilet further includes a water tank, within which the flushing assembly is at least partially housed. The water tank housing not only provides physical protection for the flushing assembly, reducing the impact of external shocks and environmental factors such as dust and moisture, but also reduces operating noise and maintains a clean and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0019] In some embodiments, the smart toilet also includes a smart toilet seat mounted on the toilet seat. The smart toilet seat includes a core base and a seat ring and a flip cover rotatably connected to the core base. The flushing assembly is detachably connected to the core base. The detachable connection method can include, but is not limited to, snap-fit ​​and threaded connections, ensuring a secure connection while simplifying the disassembly and assembly process, improving maintenance efficiency, and reducing maintenance costs. This structure allows the flushing assembly to be disassembled and assembled along with the entire smart toilet seat, and the flushing assembly can also be separated from the core base of the smart toilet seat, facilitating individual maintenance or replacement of the flushing assembly without disassembling or replacing the entire smart toilet seat.

[0020] In some embodiments, the second end of the flush pipe is higher than the water cover of the toilet bowl.

[0021] In some embodiments, the distance between one end of the vent pipe extending into the flushing pipe and the water surface inside the second end is 1cm-5cm. Controlling the distance between the end of the vent pipe extending into the flushing pipe and the water surface inside the second end within the range of 1cm-5cm can effectively block direct contact between the water surface and the vent pipe, preventing the siphon effect during flushing from causing sewage backflow.

[0031] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, this application provides a smart toilet 10, which includes a toilet seat 100, a flushing pipe 200, and a flushing assembly 300. The toilet seat 100 has a bowl 110 and a siphon channel 120 communicating with the bowl 110. The first end 210 of the flushing pipe 200 is connected to the bowl 110. The flushing assembly 300 includes an exhaust pipe 310 and a water pump 320. The water pump 320 is connected to the second end 220 of the flushing pipe 200. One end of the exhaust pipe 310 is connected to the outside atmosphere, and the other end of the exhaust pipe 310 extends into the second end 220 and is higher than the water surface W inside the second end 220. The water surface W of the second end 220 is level with the water surface W of the bowl 110. When the water pump 320 flushes the flushing pipe 200, the gas above the water surface W inside the flushing pipe 200 can be discharged through the exhaust pipe 310.

[0033] The aforementioned smart toilet 10 can achieve at least the following beneficial effects: one end of the exhaust pipe 310 is connected to the atmosphere, and the other end of the exhaust pipe 310 extends into the second end 220 of the flushing pipe 200 and is located above the water surface W. Understandably, at the moment the water pump 320 flushes water into the second end 220 of the flushing pipe 200, the original water in the flushing pipe 200 tends to remain in place due to inertia. It can be considered that the original water in the flushing pipe 200 is almost relatively still. The newly injected water from the water pump 320, together with the original water in the flushing pipe 200, compresses the air above the water surface W at the second end 220 of the flushing pipe 200, causing the air pressure above the water surface W at the second end 220 of the flushing pipe 200 to rise and exceed the outside air pressure. Therefore, the air above the water surface W in the flushing pipe 200 can be quickly discharged through the exhaust pipe 310, effectively avoiding the explosion noise generated by the high-pressure water flow compressing the air. At the same time, the exhaust pipe 310 is positioned higher than the water surface W and connected to the outside atmosphere, which not only ensures that the air can be effectively discharged, but also prevents water backflow, achieving noise reduction optimization while maintaining high-pressure flushing performance.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the flushing assembly 300 further includes a connecting pipe 330. One end of the connecting pipe 330 is connected to the second end 220, and the other end is connected to the water pump 320. The water pump 320 is connected to the flushing pipe 200 through the connecting pipe 330. One end of the vent pipe 310 passes through the connecting pipe 330 and is connected to the outside atmosphere. By setting the connecting pipe 330 between the flushing pipe 200 and the water pump 320, and passing the vent pipe 310 through the connecting pipe 330, the vent pipe 310 can be directly connected to the outside atmosphere. The setting of the connecting pipe 330 makes the connection between the water pump 320 and the flushing pipe 200 more flexible and reliable, which is conducive to optimizing the overall pipeline layout and improving assembly convenience.

[0035] In some embodiments, the adapter pipe 330 may be integrally formed with the outlet pipe 321 of the water pump 320.

[0036] like Figures 2 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, one end of the adapter pipe 330 is detachably connected to the second end 220 of the flushing pipe 200, and the other end of the adapter pipe 330 is detachably connected to the outlet pipe 321 of the water pump 320. This detachable connection design makes it easier to assemble and disassemble the adapter pipe 330 from the flushing pipe 200 and the water pump 320, which facilitates maintenance and replacement of parts, improves production assembly efficiency, helps reduce manufacturing costs, and enhances product maintainability.

[0037] like Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the second end 220 of the flushing pipe 200 is provided with a connector 230, and the connector 230 is provided with a socket 231. One end of the adapter pipe 330 is detachably and sealedly inserted into the socket 231. The socket 231 structure of the connector 230 enables quick positioning and installation of the adapter pipe 330 and the flushing pipe 200. The plug-in sealed connection ensures the airtightness and pressure-bearing reliability of the water system and simplifies the assembly process. The socket 231 design provides precise installation guidance for the adapter pipe 330, effectively preventing misalignment. At the same time, the detachable feature facilitates component replacement during later maintenance, ensuring connection strength while taking into account assembly convenience.

[0038] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the smart toilet 10 further includes a sealing ring 340, which seals against the outer wall of the adapter pipe 330 and the wall of the insertion hole 231. The sealing ring 340 forms a reliable sealing interface between the adapter pipe 330 and the insertion hole 231, effectively preventing leakage or insufficient airtightness during flushing. Simultaneously, the elastic deformation characteristics of the sealing ring 340 can compensate for assembly gaps caused by manufacturing tolerances and buffer pipe vibrations, ensuring long-term sealing stability while improving the durability and impact resistance of the connection structure.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, a limiting groove 331 is formed on the outer wall of the adapter pipe 330, and the sealing ring 340 is embedded in the limiting groove 331. In other embodiments, a limiting groove 331 is formed on the wall of the insertion hole 231, and the sealing ring 340 is embedded in the limiting groove 331. This limiting groove 331 structure mechanically fixes the position of the sealing ring 340, preventing it from shifting or falling off during assembly or use, thus ensuring sealing reliability. At the same time, the depth and width design of the limiting groove 331 can maintain an appropriate amount of compression of the sealing ring 340 to achieve effective sealing, while avoiding excessive compression that could cause permanent deformation or damage to the sealing ring 340, thereby maintaining stable sealing performance during long-term use.

[0040] like Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the flushing assembly 300 further includes a bracket 350, on which the water pump 320, the vent pipe 310, and the adapter pipe 330 are all mounted. The bracket 350 optimizes the spatial layout of the flushing assembly 300 by integrating and fixing the water pump 320, the vent pipe 310, and the adapter pipe 330, thereby improving the overall structural rigidity and assembly efficiency. The rigid support of the bracket 350 effectively disperses pipeline vibration stress, reducing the risk of interface loosening. Simultaneously, the modular design of the entire flushing assembly 300, centrally connected to the bracket 350, facilitates quick disassembly and assembly during maintenance, balancing production standardization and after-sales convenience.

[0041] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the smart toilet 10 further includes a water tank 400, and the flushing assembly 300 is at least partially housed within the water tank 400. The housing of the water tank 400 not only provides physical protection for the flushing assembly 300, reducing the impact of external shocks and environmental factors such as dust and moisture, but also reduces operating noise and maintains a simple and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0042] In some embodiments, the smart toilet 10 further includes a smart toilet seat 500 covering the toilet seat 100. The smart toilet seat 500 includes a core base 510 and a seat ring 520 and a flip cover 530 rotatably connected to the core base 510. The flushing assembly 300 is detachably connected to the core base 510. The detachable connection method may include, but is not limited to, snap-fit ​​and threaded connection, ensuring a stable connection while simplifying the disassembly and assembly process, improving maintenance efficiency and reducing maintenance costs. This structure allows the flushing assembly 300 to be disassembled and assembled along with the entire smart toilet seat 500, and the flushing assembly 300 can also be separated from the core base 510 of the smart toilet seat 500, facilitating individual maintenance or replacement of the flushing assembly 300 without disassembling or replacing the entire smart toilet seat 500.

[0043] In some embodiments, the second end 220 of the flush pipe 200 is higher than the water surface W of the toilet bowl 110.

[0044] In some embodiments, the distance between one end of the vent pipe 310 extending into the flushing pipe 200 and the water surface W inside the second end 220 is 1cm-5cm. Controlling the distance between the end of the vent pipe 310 extending into the flushing pipe 200 and the water surface W inside the second end 220 within the range of 1cm-5cm effectively blocks direct contact between the water surface W and the vent pipe 310, preventing a siphon effect during flushing that could cause sewage backflow.
