[0053] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0054] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments, which should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection claimed in the present application.
[0055] To address the problems in the prior art, this application proposes a toilet. The toilet includes a camera device, with a screen cover assembly disposed on the outside of the camera screen. The screen cover assembly isolates the external environment from the camera screen, preventing splashed excrement and its aqueous solution from landing on the camera screen and thus avoiding screen soiling.
[0056] The following description of an embodiment of the toilet of this application is with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0057] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a toilet according to one embodiment of this application.
[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, the toilet includes a toilet body 100 and a camera device 200.
[0059] The toilet body 100 includes a bottom for receiving excrement.
[0060] The camera 200 is fixed on the toilet body 100, and is used to collect image information of the excrement. The camera 200 comprises a camera screen 210 and a screen cover assembly 220 arranged outside the camera screen. The screen cover assembly 220 is used to isolate the camera screen 210 from the outside world, and prevent the camera screen 210 from being contaminated.
[0061] The camera screen 210 and the screen cover assembly 220 cooperate with each other. Cooperation between them means that at least one of the two, the camera screen 210 and the screen cover assembly 220, is movable, so that the two working states can be presented in cooperation. In the first working state, the screen cover assembly 220 does not block the camera screen 210, and at this time the camera screen 210 is allowed to collect image information. In the second working state, the screen cover assembly 220 blocks the camera screen 210, and at this time the camera screen 210 is prevented from collecting image information, i.e. the camera screen 210 is prevented from being contaminated.
[0062] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 2 The screen cover assembly 220 comprises a movable shielding plate 221. When the shielding plate 221 moves to the first position, the shielding plate 221 isolates the camera screen 210 from the outside world, and the contaminants fall on the shielding plate 221, playing a role in preventing contamination.
[0063] Further, as shown in Figure 3 The movable shielding plate 221 can be provided with a first through hole 2211. When the shielding plate moves to the second position, the first through hole 2211 is opposite to the camera screen 210, and the isolation of the camera screen 210 from the outside world is removed, so that the camera 200 can collect image information. It should be understood that the edge of the first through hole 2211 exceeds the camera view angle range, and does not affect the shooting of the camera 200.
[0064] At the first position, the shielding plate 221 is partially withdrawn, and the first through hole 2211 is moved away from the position of the camera screen 210. The first through hole 2211 is not aligned with the camera screen 210, so that the shielding plate 221 can block the camera screen 210. As shown in Figure 2 The first through hole 2211 can be partially wound on a reel.
[0065] At the second position, the shielding plate 221 is partially released, and the first through hole 2211 is aligned with the camera screen 210, so that the shielding plate 221 removes the shielding of the camera screen 210.
[0066] The screen cover assembly 220 can further comprise at least one reel, and the shielding plate 221 can be withdrawn or released from the reel. Taking one reel as an example, one end of the shielding plate 221 is fixed, and the other end is withdrawn or released through rotation of the reel.
[0067] Of course, the screen cover assembly 220 can also contain two reels, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 a first reel 223 and a second reel 224 as shown in FIG. 1. The two ends of the shield plate 221 are fixed on the first reel 223 and the second reel 224 respectively. When the shield plate 221 moves, one end is retracted and the other end is released.
[0068] As can be seen from the above description, the shield plate 221 is made of flexible material and can be wound on the first reel 223 and the second reel 224. The first reel 223 and the second reel 224 rotate simultaneously, driving the first through hole 2211 of the shield plate 221 to move. When the first through hole 2211 is aligned with the camera screen 210, the first through hole 221 and the camera screen 210 form a shooting passage, and the camera device 200 can perform normal shooting operation. When the first through hole 2211 is not aligned with the camera screen 210, other areas of the shield plate 221 are unfolded between the reels, closing the passage between the first through hole 221 and the camera screen 210, achieving the purpose of shielding and preventing pollution of the camera screen 210.
[0069] In addition, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the screen cover assembly 220 further comprises a first driving component 225. The first driving component 225 can be used to drive the first reel 223 and the second reel 224 to rotate simultaneously.
[0070] In another embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 4 , the toilet also comprises a mounting plate 300.
[0071] The mounting plate 300 comprises a second through hole 310, and the camera screen 210 is embedded in the second through hole 310 (the second through hole 310 and the camera screen 210, so Figure 4 the second through hole 310 is not shown in FIG. 1). The camera screen 210 is in the same horizontal plane as the lower surface of the mounting plate 300. The screen cover assembly 220 is installed on the lower surface of the mounting plate 300, forming a closed cavity with the lower surface of the mounting plate 300. The closed cavity can accommodate the shield plate 221, the first reel 223, the second reel 224 and the first driving component 225.
[0072] The first driving component 225 can have various driving modes, such as wind power driving or electric power driving. The following will be described in detail taking wind power and electric power as examples respectively.
[0073] In a specific embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the first driving component 225 is a wind wheel. The wind wheel is arranged at one end of the first reel 223. As Figure 6As shown, the toilet further comprises a wind supply assembly 400, and the mounting plate 300 is provided with an air inlet hole 320. The wind provided by the wind supply assembly 400 enters the air inlet hole 320 through the air pipe, so as to drive the fan wheel, and the fan wheel drives the first reel 223 to rotate, so as to move the shielding plate 221 from the first position to the second position. The specific direction of the wind path can be as shown in Figure 7
[0074] In another specific embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 8 The first driving part 225 is an electric motor. The electric motor is arranged at one end of the first reel 223, and the electric motor drives the first reel 223 to rotate by electricity, so as to move the shielding plate 221 from the first position to the second position.
[0075] In addition, the screen cover assembly 220 further comprises a first reset part 226.
[0076] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 8 The first reset part 226 is connected to one end of the second reel 224, and is used to restore the shielding plate 221 from the second position to the first position. The first reset part 226 can be a force storage spring, a torsion spring, a clockwork, etc. Therefore, various embodiments can be combined.
[0077] The first way is wind power driving + force storage spring resetting.
[0078] The wind power driving has been introduced before, and will not be repeated here. As shown in Figure 7 The shielding plate 221 is pulled to rotate the second reel 224 by wind force, and the torsion spring stores the rotating force. When the adjustment of the shielding plate 221 is cancelled, the wind supply assembly 400 is only needed to stop working, the airflow stops, the torsion spring restores the initial state, and the torsion force generated by the torsion spring drives the second reel 224 to rotate, so as to restore the shielding plate 221 to the initial position.
[0079] The second way is electric power driving + clockwork resetting.
[0080] As shown in Figure 8 and Figure 10 The electric motor is arranged at one end of the first reel 223, and the electric motor drives the first reel 223 to rotate by electricity, so as to move the shielding plate 221 from the first position to the second position. At this time, the clockwork generates a torsion force. When the electric motor stops working, the clockwork drives the second reel 224 to rotate by the torsion force, so as to restore the shielding plate 221 to the initial position.
[0081] The third way is electric power driving + electric motor resetting.
[0082] The electric power driving is the same as the second way, and will not be repeated here. As shown in Figure 9 As shown, the same side ends of the first reel 223 and the second reel 224 are connected by a transmission belt 227. The first reset component 226 drives the first reel 223 and the second reel 224 to rotate simultaneously by power, so as to recover the shielding plate 221 from the second position to the first position.
[0083] Specifically, the upper end of the first reel 223 is provided with a first pulley 401, and the upper end of the second reel 224 is provided with a second pulley 402. Both the first pulley 401 and the second pulley 402 have a groove for placing the transmission belt 227. The tightness of the transmission belt 227 can be adjusted by the elasticity of the transmission belt 227. The forward rotation of the motor provides the rotating power of the first reel 223 and the second reel 224, and drives the shielding plate 221 to change position. The reverse rotation of the motor provides the reverse rotating power of the first reel 223 and the second reel 224, and drives the shielding plate 221 to recover to the initial position.
[0084] In addition, the first driving component 225 is also used to drive the shielding plate 221 to move to the third position when the shielding plate 221 moves to the first position and the first part of the shielding camera screen 210 is dirty, so that the second part of the shielding plate 221 shields the camera screen 210, and prolongs the product cleaning period.
[0085] Of course, there is another embodiment that the shielding plate 221 can be made of transparent flexible material, and the first through hole 2211 and the motor reset mode are cancelled. After the initial display part of the shielding plate 221 is protected from dirt for a period of time, the first reel 223 is driven to rotate, and the dirty part is wound on the first reel 223, and the uncontaminated part on the second reel 224 is moved between the two shafts, and the camera screen 210 is continuously protected from dirt. Repeat the above operation until the uncontaminated part on the second reel 224 is completely used up. Then, the screen cover assembly 220 can be disassembled, and the shielding plate 221 can be replaced or cleaned, which can also achieve the purpose of long-term protection of the camera screen 210, and the protection effect is good.
[0086] In another embodiment of the present application, the screen cover assembly 220 includes a shell 228.
[0087] The shell 228 is provided with a third through hole opposite to the camera screen 210, so that the camera device 200 can collect image information.
[0088] As shown in Figure 11 and Figure 12 , the shell 228 is further provided with a first connecting part 2281, and the shell 228 is fixed to the lower surface of the mounting plate 300 through the first connecting part 2281. Figure 5
[0089] Further, as shown in Figure 13 As shown, the housing 228 can also include a first housing part 2282 and a second housing part 2283, which are box-shaped thin-walled structures. The first housing part 2282 is provided with connecting components (i.e. 2281) on both sides for assembling with the mounting plate 300. For example, the screen cover assembly 220 is provided with connecting lugs (2281) on both sides, which are provided with screw fixing holes, and the mounting plate 300 is provided with screw holes at corresponding positions, so that the screen cover assembly 220 is fixedly connected with the mounting plate 300 through screws.
[0090] The first housing part 2282 and the second housing part 2283 and the remaining components contained therein, such as the shielding plate 221, the first roller shaft 223, the second roller shaft 224, and the first driving component 225, can be assembled to form the screen cover assembly 220, and then the screen cover assembly 220 is mounted on the mounting plate 300.
[0091] Specifically, the two ends of the first roller shaft 223 and the second roller shaft 224 are fixed on a pair of side walls of the first housing part 2282, respectively. As shown in Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the side walls are provided with circular hole grooves 2283 (two pairs) for mounting the first roller shaft 223 and the second roller shaft 224, and the first roller shaft 223 and the second roller shaft 224 can rotate in the hole grooves 2283. The first roller shaft 223 and the second roller shaft 224 are stepped shaft structures, and the diameter of the connecting part with the shielding plate 221 is greater than the part matched with the hole groove 2283, so as to limit the axial movement of the first roller shaft 223 and the second roller shaft 224, and ensure that they will not be separated from the first housing part 2282.
[0092] For example, the hole 2283 is a semi-closed structure, and the center of the hole 2283 is open to the edge of the side wall, which is attached to the lower surface of the mounting plate 300. The first reel 223 and the second reel 224 can enter the hole 2283 through the opening, and the circular arc curve of the cross section of the circular part of the hole 2283 is greater than one-half of the whole circle, so that the first reel 223 and the second reel 224 can be clamped into the hole 2283 without falling out. Similarly, the area corresponding to the hole 2283 on the lower surface of the mounting plate 300 is provided with a hole matching part (a total of 4). When the first shell part 2282 is connected to the mounting plate 300, the hole matching part is attached to the opening of the hole 2283, filling the gap, and forming a complete circular hole between the two, so that the first reel 223 and the second reel 224 can rotate therein. The first reel 223 and the second reel 224 are both stepped shafts, and the diameter of the combined part of the shielding plate 221 is greater than the remaining matching part of the hole 2283, so that the first reel 223 and the second reel 224 and the shielding plate 221 cannot move axially inside the first shell part 2282. One end of the first reel 223 extends into the second shell part 2283 and is connected to the first driving part 225, so as to provide rotational power by the first driving part 225. One end of the second reel 224 extends into the second shell part 2283 and is connected to the first reset part 226, so as to provide reset rotational power by the first reset part 226.
[0093] In actual application, the screen cover assembly 220 is in a closed state, that is, the first through hole 2211 on the shielding plate 221 is in a retracted state. When a photographing operation is needed, the first driving part 225 is controlled by the control system to drive the reel to rotate, and the first through hole 2211 is unfolded at a corresponding position in front of the camera screen 210, and then the photographing action is completed. After photographing, the control system can stop controlling the first driving part 225, and the shielding plate 221 is reset by the first reset part 226, and the screen cover assembly 220 returns to the closed state, ending the photographing process.
[0094] In this embodiment, the shielding plate is designed to be flexible and can be curled, which greatly reduces the volume of the overall device, improves the convenience of application, and enhances the aesthetic effect of the product appearance. Moreover, the double-reel curling motion form reduces the failure rate of the mechanism and improves the practicality of the product.
[0095] In another embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 15 the screen cover assembly 220 further includes a frame 229.
[0096] The shielding plate 221 can move along the frame 229. The frame 229 functions as a guide rail to limit the shielding plate 221 to reciprocate within the frame. The frame contains the area where the camera screen 210 is located, and when the shielding plate 221 moves to other positions within the frame, the camera screen 210 can be completely exposed. One side of the frame 229 is provided with a second driving component 230. The second driving component 230 is used to drive the shielding plate 221 to move, so that the shielding plate 221 removes the isolation of the camera screen 210 from the outside world. Among them, the second driving component 230 can be an electromagnet, and the shielding plate 221 is made of a material that can be attracted by magnetic force. That is, when the electromagnet is powered on, it can generate an attractive force to make the shielding plate 221 move and remove the shielding of the camera screen 210.
[0097] In addition, the screen cover assembly 220 also includes a second connecting part 231 and a second reset component 232. One end of the second connecting part 231 is connected with the shielding plate 221, and the other end is in contact with the second reset component 232. The second reset component 232 makes the second connecting part 231 drive the shielding plate 221 to reset through the elastic force generated by deformation, so as to isolate the camera screen 210 from the outside world. Among them, the second reset component 232 can be a spring piece.
[0098] As shown in Figure 16 , the current state is that the shielding plate 221 removes the isolation of the camera screen 210 from the outside world. The shielding plate 221 is provided with a fixed point, and one end of the second connecting part 231 is provided with an oblong hole, which can be connected in a nested form. Outside the area of the frame 229, a fixed shaft is provided, and the other end of the second connecting part 231 is provided with a round hole, which is sleeved on the shaft, so that the second connecting part 231 (connecting rod) can rotate around the shaft. When the connecting rod rotates around the shaft, one end of the second connecting part 231 will drive the shielding plate 221 to move, and the other end in the shape of a cam will press the spring piece to deform and store power, providing power for resetting. The spring piece can be arranged on the mounting plate 300.
