Detailed Implementation

[0049] The invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0050] This embodiment provides a smart sanitary ware with a health check function. The sanitary ware body can be applied to squat toilets, seated toilets, and urinals. This embodiment uses a squat toilet as an example. Figure 1 and 10 As shown, the system includes a squat toilet 1, a urine isolation and collection device 19, a cleaning device 20, a system control board 21, and a urine detection device 22. The squat toilet 1 is equipped with the urine isolation and collection device 19, which is connected to both the urine detection device 22 and the cleaning device 20. The system control board 21 controls the operation of the urine isolation and collection device 19, the cleaning device 20, and the urine detection device 22. The squat toilet 1 includes separate fecal inlet 1.1 and urine inlet.

[0051] like Figure 11 As shown, the control program of the system control board is as follows:

[0052] 1) When the toilet is not in use, the urine isolation collection device 19 is in an isolated state;

[0053] 2) When the sanitary ware is in use, the system control board 21 receives a start signal and puts the urine isolation and collection device 19 into sampling mode;

[0054] 3) After urine sampling is completed, the urine enters the urine detection device 22 through the urine isolation collection device 19 for detection and analysis, and the results are fed back to the system control board 21;

[0055] 4) Simultaneously with urine testing, the flushing device 20 initiates the flushing path after sampling;

[0056] 5) The urine isolation collection device 19 is restored to the isolation state;

[0057] 6) The electronic control board sends the urine test and analysis results to the terminal, which may include a mobile app, tablet computer, or computer.

[0058] In step 1), the urine isolation collection device 19 is in an isolation state as follows: the isolation ball does not receive a signal, and its smooth surface faces upward and is in contact with the urine opening to prevent urine from entering, thus being in an isolation state.

[0059] In step 3), the liquid isolation collection device 19 is in sampling state. The steps are as follows: the isolation ball receives the signal, and is placed on one side of the spherical cavity to fit with the urine opening so that urine can enter, thus entering the sampling state.

[0060] The flushing path in step 4) is as follows: close the first and second solenoid valves, start the booster pump, back-flushing the isolation ball for a certain period of time, then open the first solenoid valve, and after the waste liquid in the sampling cup is discharged naturally through the three-way valve, close the second solenoid valve. When the cleaning liquid enters the cup and reaches the cleaning liquid level, trigger the switch, stop the booster pump, and keep the second solenoid valve open to discharge the waste liquid.

[0061] like Figure 9 As shown, the urine testing and analysis steps in step 2) are as follows: urine sample is dripped onto the urine dry chemistry analysis test strip, and the test strip is pushed into the urine dry chemistry reading mechanism for urine dry chemistry analysis; the urine testing and analysis specifically includes: the strip selection mechanism first selects the test strip, and then the internal strip pushing mechanism conveys the test strip to the sample dripping position of the strip conveying mechanism, drips the urine sample onto the corresponding sample dripping position, drips the sample onto the test strip, and then the strip conveying mechanism conveys the test strip to the reading mechanism of the urine analysis device, the reading mechanism reads the information on the test strip and analyzes and processes the data, and then feeds the data back to the control center, and the control center sends the data to the end user.

[0062] like Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning device includes a cleaning tank 15, a booster pump 14 connected to the cleaning tank 15, a first solenoid valve 16 connected to the booster pump 14, a collection cup 17 connected to the first solenoid valve 16, and a second solenoid valve 18 connected to the collection cup 17. The booster pump 14 is connected to a urine isolation and filtration device 12. The cleaning tank 8, booster pump 7, urine isolation and filtration device 12, and first solenoid valve 16 are connected by a liquid inlet pipe 5. The booster pump 14 is connected to the urine isolation and collection device 12 and the first solenoid valve 16 respectively through a three-way valve 13, and part of the urine in the collection cup 17 enters the urine detection device.

[0063] This embodiment uses a squat toilet as an example, such as Figure 3 and 4As shown, the urine isolation and collection device includes a cover, an opening 2.2 on the cover, an isolation ball inside the cover, and a drive device connected to the isolation ball. The isolation ball contains a urine filtration and collection chamber 4.3. The drive device rotates the smooth side and the cavity side of the isolation ball 4 180 degrees within the cover, causing the urine filtration and collection chamber to appear and disappear at the opening 2.2 of the cover, allowing the isolation ball to freely switch between closed and open states. This urine detection and flushing device is installed at the urine inlet of a squat toilet 1, which has its own independent fecal inlet 1.1 and urine inlet.

[0064] like Figure 8 As shown in 8a, 8b, 8c, and 8d, in this embodiment, the isolation sphere includes an isolation sphere 4 and a urine filtration and collection cavity 4.3 disposed on the isolation sphere, such that the isolation sphere 4 is divided into a smooth side and a cavity side. A filter screen 3 is disposed inside the urine filtration and collection cavity 4.3. The urine filtration and collection cavity 4.3 is funnel-shaped, and the maximum diameter of the funnel shape is consistent with the maximum diameter at the opening 2.2 of the cover. A first fixed rotation shaft 4.1 and a second fixed rotation shaft 4.2 are respectively provided on one side of the isolation sphere 4. The isolation sphere 4 is fixed in the cover through a fixing hole 6.1, enabling rotation.

[0065] like Figure 5 and 6 As shown, the driving device in this embodiment includes a transmission wheel 10, a motor 8, a drive wheel 9, and a transmission belt 7. The transmission wheel 10 is mounted on a second fixed rotating shaft 4.2 on one side of the isolation ball 4. The drive wheel 9 is connected to the motor 8. The transmission belt 7 connects the transmission wheel 10 and the drive wheel 9. The urine filtration and collection chamber 4.3 is provided with a urine outlet, which is connected to a first fixed rotating shaft 4.1. The first fixed rotating shaft 4.1 is connected to a drainage tube 5. The first fixed rotating shaft 4.1 is hollow.

[0066] In this embodiment, the cover includes an upper cover 2 and a lower cover 6. The lower cover 6 includes a fixing hole 6.1 for fixing the rotating shaft, a motor fixing cavity 6.3, and an emergency outlet 6.2 (normally closed). The lower cover 6 also includes a motor protection cover 11.

[0067] A liquid level sensor switch is installed inside the liquid collection cup 17. The liquid level sensor switch is connected to the system control board. When the liquid level is reached, the liquid level sensor switch controls the booster pump 14 to stop working. The booster pump 14, the first solenoid valve 16, the second solenoid valve 18, and the urine detection device 22 are all connected to the system control board 21.

[0068] In this implementation, such as Figure 7 As shown, the working process of the urine isolation and filtration device 12 is as follows: 1) Figure 7In step a), in standby mode, the funnel faces downwards to ensure the collection inlet is not contaminated. The booster pump is in standby mode 7, the first solenoid valve 4 is normally open, and the second solenoid valve 6 is normally closed; 2) Figure 7 As shown in b, when the motor receives the start signal, the motor 8 drives the drive wheel 9, which in turn drives the transmission wheel 7, causing the isolation ball 4 to rotate 180 degrees, so that the funnel opening faces upward, receiving liquid, flowing into the liquid inlet pipe 5, passing through the three-way valve 13, and then through the first solenoid valve 16 into the liquid collection cup 17; 3) Figure 7 In step c, after urine collection is complete, motor 8 drives drive wheel 9, which in turn drives transmission wheel 7, causing isolation ball 4 to rotate 180 degrees. Isolation ball 4 returns to the isolation state with the funnel facing down. After urine testing is completed, second solenoid valve 18 is normally open for a period of time to drain waste liquid; 4) After drainage is completed, first solenoid valve 16 is normally closed to seal liquid inlet pipe 5. Isolation ball 4 in the isolation device is in the isolation state with the funnel facing down. Booster pump 14 starts working, pumping cleaning fluid into three-way valve 13 into isolation ball to flush the funnel cavity of isolation ball and perform reverse flushing; 5) After backflushing is completed, first solenoid valve 16 is normally open for a period of time. After the waste liquid in the collection cup 17 from three-way valve 13 is naturally discharged, second solenoid valve 18 is normally closed. When cleaning fluid enters the collection cup 17 and reaches the cleaning fluid level, the switch is triggered, booster pump 14 stops working, and second solenoid valve 18 is normally open to drain waste liquid.

[0069] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
