Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of intelligent bathrooms, and in particular to a dryer and an intelligent toilet with the dryer. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the majority of smart toilet drying dampers on the market rely on fan power to open the damper. However, relying solely on wind power often results in a narrow damper opening angle. When the damper is opened narrowly, it forces the air from the drying outlet downward, causing the air to flow in a low direction and miss the intended location. This prevents the damper from quickly drying the remaining moisture on the buttocks, resulting in a poor user experience. This method is therefore highly dependent on the fan, and the damper opening angle is entirely dependent on the drying air volume. Summary of the Invention

The spray rod 503 is driven by the power source 501 to move. The movement of the spray rod 503 drives the second rack 511 to move. The second rack 511 is meshed with the fourth gear 509. The second rack 511 drives the fourth gear 509 to rotate. Since the fourth gear 509 and the fifth gear 508 are connected and driven by the rotating shaft 510, the fifth gear 508 is meshed with the fourth rack 512, thereby driving the first rack 506 to move. The fifth rack 507 is meshed with the first gear 303. The movement of the first rack 506 enables the baffle body 301 to rotate around the first rotating shaft 302, thereby achieving the rotation or opening of the baffle body 301. The gear rack transmission method is used to increase the opening angle of the baffle body 301, which is conducive to drying air outlet and improving the accuracy of the wind direction, thereby improving the drying efficiency. In addition, the gear rack transmission method is stable and reliable, does not occupy a large internal space, makes the overall structure relatively compact, does not cause the dryer to extend outside the machine, and has a better product experience.

[0038] In this embodiment, the installation box 502 is provided with a guide rib 504 for the spray rod 503 to slide. By providing the guide rib 504 for the spray rod 503 to slide on the installation box 502, the stability of the movement of the spray rod 503 can be ensured.

[0040] In this embodiment, a slideway 505 is provided on one side of the mounting box 502 for sliding the first rack 506. By providing the slideway 505 on one side of the mounting box 502 for sliding the first rack 506, the first rack 506 moves along the slideway 505, ensuring the stability of the movement of the first rack 506, thereby ensuring the stability of the rotation of the baffle body 301.

[0041] In this embodiment, the fourth rack 512 is located on the lower end surface of the first rack 506, the fifth rack 507 is located on the upper end surface of the first rack 506, the fifth gear 508 and the first rack 506 are both located on one side of the installation box 502, and the fourth gear 509 is located inside the installation box 502 and meshes with the second rack 511. The staggered arrangement of the fourth rack 512 and the fifth rack 507 ensures that the forces on the upper and lower ends of the first rack 506 are balanced during movement of the first rack 506, as the fourth rack 512 and the fifth rack 507 are located on opposite sides of the first rack 506, respectively. This ensures the stability of the transmission of the first rack 506. In addition, the fifth gear 508 and the first rack 506 are both located on one side of the installation box 502. This arrangement can reduce the space occupied in the length direction of the installation box 502 and prevent the dryer from extending.

[0042] In this embodiment, the lower seat 1 is provided with a diverter opening 102 on the side close to the upper cover 2, which is connected to the lower opening 101. By providing the diverter opening 102 on the side close to the upper cover 2, which is connected to the lower opening 101, the wind can be dispersed, the blowing area can be increased, and the drying effect can be improved.

[0043] The present invention also provides a smart toilet comprising a toilet body 6 and the aforementioned dryer. The upper end of the toilet body 6 is provided with a bearing slot 601 for mounting the lower seat 1. In this smart toilet employing the aforementioned dryer, the opening of the baffle 3 is driven by a power mechanism. This power mechanism increases the angle at which the baffle 3 opens, facilitating drying air flow, improving wind direction accuracy, and enhancing drying efficiency. When the baffle 3 is open, the washer does not need to extend outside the machine, resulting in a more user-friendly experience. Furthermore, the smart toilet employing this dryer is compact and does not occupy a large space, making the smart toilet structure even more compact. Example

[0044] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 9The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that a sixth gear 514 is provided at the end of the first rack 506 away from the fifth rack 507, and the fifth rack 507 and the sixth gear 514 are both located on the upper end surface of the first rack 506. A third rack 513 is provided on the tail end surface of the spray boom 503, and the third rack 513 is meshed with the fourth gear 509, the fifth gear 508 is meshed with the sixth gear 514, and the fifth rack 507 is meshed with the first gear 303. The third rack 513 is driven to move by the spray rod 503, and the third rack 513 drives the fourth gear 509 to rotate, and the fourth gear 509 drives the fifth gear 508 to rotate, and the fifth gear 508 is engaged with the sixth gear 514 to drive the first rack 506 to move, and the fifth rack 507 of the first rack 506 is engaged with the first gear 303. After the first gear 303 is engaged with the fifth rack 507, the baffle body 301 is rotated around the first rotating shaft 302, thereby realizing the opening of the baffle body 301. The opening angle of the baffle body 301 can be increased through the gear rack transmission, which is conducive to drying the air and improving the accuracy of the wind direction, thereby improving the drying efficiency.

[0045] In this embodiment, a pressure plate wrapped around the outer circumference of the rotating shaft 510 is connected between the rotating shaft 510 and the installation box 502. By connecting the pressure plate wrapped around the outer circumference of the rotating shaft 510 between the rotating shaft 510 and the installation box 502, the pressure plate can increase the stability of the rotating shaft 510 during rotation, thereby improving the stability of power transmission and ensuring that the baffle body 301 is stably opened or closed. Example

[0046] Reference Figure 10-12 , the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the connecting rod transmission assembly 52 includes a mounting box 502, a second rack 511, a rocker arm 517 and a connecting rod 518, the spray rod 503 and the second rack 511 are an integrated structure, the rocker arm 517 is provided with a second rotating shaft 516 on the side close to the second rack 511, the second rotating shaft 516 is connected to the seventh gear 515 at the end away from the rocker arm 517, the seventh gear 515 is meshed with the second rack 511, the rocker arm 517 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 518, the baffle 3 includes a baffle body 301 and a third rotating shaft 519, the baffle body 301 is rotatably mounted on the upper opening 201 through the third rotating shaft 519, and a fourth rotating shaft 520 is connected between the connecting rod 518 and the baffle body 301.

[0047] When in use, the seventh gear 515 is driven to rotate by the movement of the spray rod 503, so that the rocker arm 517 swings at a corresponding angle along with the seventh gear 515. Since the connecting rod 518 and the rocker arm 517 are connected together through the second rotating shaft 516, the connecting rod 518 moves in a translational motion, thereby pushing the baffle 3 connected to the connecting rod 518 to rotate around the third rotating shaft 519, so that the baffle is opened. This increases the opening angle of the baffle 3, which is conducive to drying the air, improving the accuracy of the wind direction, and thus improving the drying efficiency.

[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the scope of patent protection of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformation made by using the contents of the description and drawings of the present invention, directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, is also included in the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0049] Implementation Case 3:

[0050] The increase in the baffle opening angle is achieved through a combination of gears and connecting rods. This structure has high reliability.

[0051] The following are the instructions: Figure 11 The movement of the cleaning pipe drives the gear 1 to rotate, causing the rocker arm to swing at a corresponding angle along with the gear. Since the connecting rod and the rocker arm are connected together through the rotating shaft 2, the connecting rod moves in a translational motion, thereby pushing the baffle connected to the connecting rod to rotate around the rotating shaft 2, thereby opening the baffle.
