[0036] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 1 and Figure 2 They are schematic diagrams of the structure of the toilet 10 at different angles in some embodiments, Figure 3 for Figure 2 The toilet 10 is shown in a cross-sectional view along the AA direction. Figure 4 for Figure 3The enlarged schematic diagram of the B area is shown. In some embodiments, the toilet 10 includes a toilet bowl 110, a water tank 120, a base 130 and a fan 140. The toilet bowl 110 is used by the user to sit on the toilet. The water tank 120 is connected to an external water source, for example, a tap water pipe outside the toilet 10 is connected through a pipeline structure. The water tank 120 is used to store water for flushing the toilet bowl 110. The base 130 is arranged on the water tank 120. The base 130 can be used to carry or install other components configured by the toilet 10. For example, the toilet 10 is equipped with a cleaning module for cleaning a part of the user's body, and a power supply module for supplying power to other electrical components such as the cleaning module. The cleaning module and the power supply module can be installed on the base 130. An air duct 1330 is arranged in the base 130. The base 130 is also provided with an air inlet 1331 connecting the air duct 1330 and the toilet bowl 110. The fan 140 is arranged in the air duct 1330. The fan 140 can generate airflow, so that the gas in the toilet bowl 110 is sucked into the air duct 1330 through the air inlet 1331 and discharged through the fan 140 , thereby achieving a deodorizing effect for the toilet bowl 110 .

[0037] Further, in some embodiments, the water tank 120 includes a box body 1210 and a box cover 1220 connected to each other, the base 130 is arranged on the box cover 1220, and an exhaust passage 1332 is formed between the base 130 and the box cover 1220 to form a connected air passage 1330. Specifically, the air inlet of the exhaust passage 1332 corresponds to the air outlet side of the fan 140. After the gas in the toilet bowl 110 is sucked into the air passage 1330 by the fan 140, it is discharged to the exhaust passage 1332 through the fan 140. In other words, the fan 140 discharges the gas between the base 130 and the box cover 1220, thereby accelerating the air flow between the base 130 and the box cover 1220, having a drying effect between the base 130 and the box cover 1220, and eliminating the water accumulation between the base 130 and the box cover 1220.

[0038] The above-mentioned toilet 10, through the design of the air duct 1330 and the exhaust channel 1332, can simultaneously realize the deodorization function of the toilet bowl 110 and the drying function between the base 130 and the box cover 1220 using a fan 140, thereby combining the deodorization function of the toilet bowl 110 with the drying function between the base 130 and the box cover 1220, achieving full utilization of the space between the fan 140 and the toilet 10, and reducing the drying cost between the base 130 and the box cover 1220.

[0039] It is understandable that, in addition to the exhaust passage 1332, there are other gaps between the base 130 and the box cover 1220 that are connected to the external space of the toilet 10, so that the gas exhausted to the exhaust passage 1332 by the fan 140 can be further exhausted to the outside of the toilet 10, thereby promoting the air circulation between the space between the base 130 and the box cover 1220 and the outside, so that the space between the base 130 and the box cover 1220 remains dry and water is not easy to accumulate, thereby avoiding the breeding of bacteria. In addition, Figure 1 and Figure 2 The illustrated embodiment only illustrates a partial structure of the toilet bowl 110. Of course, the toilet 10 may also include a siphon connected to the toilet bowl 110 and a shell for covering the toilet bowl 110, the water tank 120 and the base 130, and other structures, which will not be described in detail here.

[0040] refer to Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the fan 140 has an outlet surface 1410 facing the exhaust passage. In this embodiment, the air inlet 1331 and the outlet surface 1410 respectively define the starting point and the end point of the air duct 1330. At the same time, the outlet surface 1410 also defines the starting point of the exhaust passage 1332. In some embodiments, the box cover 1220 has a first surface 1221 facing away from the box body 1210, and the exhaust passage 1332 includes an exhaust section 1333 and a drying section 1334 that are interconnected. Specifically, the exhaust section 1333 is formed on the outlet side of the fan 140, for example, the exhaust section 1333 is defined by the outlet surface 1410, the portion of the base 130 located on the outlet side, and the portion of the first surface 1221 opposite to the outlet surface 1410. The drying section 1334 extends along the first surface 1221, for example, the drying section 1334 is defined by the portion of the base 130 substantially parallel to the first surface 1221 and the first surface 1221. The gas is discharged to the exhaust section 1333 through the fan 140, and then enters the drying section 1334 through the exhaust section 1333 to accelerate the gas flow between the base 130 and the box cover 1220. Further, in some embodiments, the airflow direction of the exhaust section 1333 is perpendicular or inclined to the first surface 1221. For example, the acute angle between the airflow direction of the exhaust section 1333 and the first surface 1221 is greater than or equal to 60 degrees. In other words, at the junction of the exhaust section 1333 and the drying section 1334, the direction of the airflow turns greater than or equal to 60 degrees, so that the airflow can impact the first surface 1221 to a greater extent, increase the interaction force between the airflow and the first surface 1221, and then enhance the airflow drying effect between the base 130 and the box cover 1220.

[0041] Furthermore, refer to Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of ​​the inner wall surface of the drying section 1334 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the inner wall surface of the exhaust section 1333. The inner wall surface of the drying section 1334 can be understood as the surface of the drying section 1334 formed by the base 130 and the box cover 1220, and the cross section can be understood as the cross section of the inner wall surface of the drying section 1334 on a plane perpendicular to the airflow direction, and the same is true for the exhaust section 1333. In other words, the drying section 1334 is narrower than the exhaust section 1333 on a plane perpendicular to the airflow direction. Therefore, when the gas flows from the exhaust section 1333 to the drying section 1334, the flow space of the gas becomes narrower, which can increase the flow rate of the airflow in the drying section 1334, thereby improving the gas flow effect between the base 130 and the box cover 1220, and then improving the drying effect between the base 130 and the box cover 1220.

[0042] In some embodiments, the air outlet surface 1410 of the fan 140 faces the first surface 1221. For example, the air outlet surface 1410 of the fan 140 is directly opposite to the first surface 1221, and the air outlet direction of the fan 140 is perpendicular to the first surface 1221, and the gas discharged by the fan 140 enters the drying section 1334 at a larger angle after passing through the exhaust section 1333. In some embodiments, the base 130 has an air guide surface 1337 inclined to the first surface 1221, the air guide surface 1337 corresponds to the starting section of the exhaust channel 1332, and the projection of the air guide surface 1337 on the air outlet surface 1410 falls into the fan 140. It can be understood that the exhaust section 1333 of the exhaust channel 1332 is the starting section of the exhaust channel 1332, and the air guide surface 1337 forms a part of the inner wall of the exhaust section 1333. With such a configuration, the gas discharged from the fan 140 to the exhaust section 1333 can enter the drying section 1334 more smoothly through the guidance of the air guide surface 1337, reducing the kinetic energy loss of the airflow due to the large corner, so that the gas can fully dry the space between the base 130 and the box cover 1220 after entering the drying section 1334. Of course, the configuration of the air guide surface 1337 is not limited to this. In some embodiments, at the junction of the exhaust section 1333 and the drying section 1334, the entire surface of the base 130 used to define the exhaust channel 1332 can be inclined to the first surface 1221, so as to facilitate the gas to enter the drying section 1334 more smoothly from the exhaust section 1333. For example, Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the surface of the inner wall of the base 130 opposite to the wind guiding surface 1337 is also inclined toward the first surface 1221 .

[0043] It should be noted that the first surface 1221 can be a flat surface or a non-flat surface. When the first surface 1221 is a non-flat surface, the description of the wind guide surface 1337 being inclined to the first surface 1221 can be understood as the wind guide surface 1337 being inclined to the approximate extension direction of the first surface 1221.

[0044] For reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the structure of the base 130 and the box cover 1220 in some embodiments. Figure 6 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the base 130 and the fan 140 in some embodiments. Figure 4 and Figure 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the dotted arrows can be understood as a schematic diagram of the gas flow direction. In some embodiments, the drying section 1334 includes a first subsection 1335 and a second subsection 1336 that are interconnected, and the first subsection 1335 is also connected to the exhaust section 1333, and a corner is formed between the first subsection 1335 and the second subsection 1336. It should be noted that in the present application, the description of the formation of a corner between the two channels can be understood as the gas turning at the junction of the two channels, for example, the gas flow direction changes by greater than or equal to 60°. In this way, the gas will turn to a greater extent at the junction of the first subsection 1335 and the second subsection 1336, thereby enhancing the impact of the gas on the base 130 and the box cover 1220, and further enhancing the drying effect between the base 130 and the box cover 1220 of the airflow. At the same time, the two-section channel structure is provided at an angle, so that the drying section 1334 can cover a larger range between the base 130 and the box cover 1220, and the airway drying effect in a larger range between the base 130 and the box cover 1220 is beneficial to further eliminate the water accumulation between the base 130 and the box cover 1220. Of course, the drying section 1334 can also be provided with a larger number of sub-sections, for example, the drying section 1334 includes three, four or five sub-sections that are interconnected, and a corner is formed between two adjacent sub-sections, thereby further improving the drying effect between the base 130 and the box cover 1220.

[0045] For reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 71 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the box cover 1220 and the circuit board in other embodiments. In some embodiments, the box cover 1220 has an open structure 1222, and the open structure 1222 has a cover plate that can be opened and closed to connect or close the space in the water tank 120. It can be understood that when the open structure 1222 connects the water tank 120 and the space between the box cover 1220 and the base 1310, the water vapor in the water tank 120 can easily pass through the open structure 1222 to reach the space between the box cover 1220 and the base 1310 to form water accumulation, and the closer to the open structure 1222, the easier it is for water to accumulate. Therefore, in some embodiments, the open structure 1222 corresponds to the terminal section of the exhaust channel 1332, for example, the open structure 1222 corresponds to the terminal section of the second subsection 1336, so that the gas exhausted by the fan 140 can be directed to the space between the open structure 1222 and the base 130, and the position of the open structure 1222 where water easily accumulates is dried, thereby preventing water from accumulating in the open structure 1222 and breeding bacteria. In other embodiments, the box cover 1220 may not be provided with the open structure 1222, and the gas exhausted by the fan 140 has a drying effect on the liquid that enters the space between the base 1310 and the box cover 1220 from the outside or from other spaces inside the toilet 10.

[0046] Of course, the end point of the exhaust passage 1332 may also correspond to other structures that are prone to water accumulation or need to be kept dry. For example, in some embodiments, the toilet 10 further includes a circuit board 1224 disposed on the box cover 1220, and the circuit board 1224 may be a water inlet control circuit board of the water tank 120, and the circuit board 1224 corresponds to the end point of the exhaust passage 1332. Figure 7 In the illustrated embodiment, only the protective shell covering the circuit board 1224 is shown, and the circuit part of the circuit board 1224 is arranged in the protective shell. The exhaust channel 1332 can guide the gas exhausted by the fan 140 to the circuit board 1224, so that the circuit board 1224 remains dry and prevents water accumulation from affecting the normal operation of the circuit board 1224. In addition, in some embodiments, the circuit board 1224 can be arranged near the open structure 1222, and when the exhaust channel 1332 guides the gas exhausted by the fan 140 to the terminal section of the exhaust channel 1332, the water accumulation in the open structure 1222 and the circuit board 1224 can be eliminated at the same time. In other embodiments, the circuit board 1224 and the open structure 1222 are arranged at different positions of the box cover 1220, and the exhaust channel 1332 can also include two sub-sections arranged in parallel, and the terminal points of the two sub-sections correspond to the open structure 1222 and the circuit board 1224 respectively. In other words, the exhaust channel 1332 divides the gas exhausted by the fan 140 into two parts, one part of which is directed to the circuit board 1224, and the other part is directed to the open structure 1222, so that the circuit board 1224 and the open structure 1222 can be kept dry at the same time.

[0047] The drying section 1334 may be formed in any manner as long as a channel structure connecting the exhaust section 1333 can be formed between the base 130 and the box cover 1220. Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the surface of the base 130 facing the box cover 1220 is concave to form a groove, and the groove wall and groove bottom of the groove of the base 130 and the first surface 1221 are together surrounded to form a drying section 1334. In this way, by designing the groove structure of the base 130, the airflow can be guided to the open structure 1222, which can simplify the setting process of the exhaust channel 1332.

[0048] Please see again Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the base 130 includes a seat body 1310 and a cover body 1320, the seat body 1310 is arranged on the box cover 1220, the air inlet 1331 is arranged on the seat body 1310, and the fan 140 is arranged on the seat body 1310. The cover body 1320 is arranged on the seat body 1310, and is surrounded with the seat body 1310 to form an air duct 1330. In some embodiments, the toilet 10 also includes a filter element 150 arranged at the air inlet 1331, and the filter element 150 may include a material with a filtering function such as activated carbon. The filter element 150 is used to filter the gas entering the air duct 1330 from the toilet bowl 110, so as to improve the deodorizing effect of the air duct 1330 on the gas in the toilet bowl 110. The filter element 150 and the fan 140 can be disposed in the space formed by the cover 1320 and the base 1310, and the cover 1320 can be detachably connected to the base 1310 by means of snaps, interference fit, etc., so as to facilitate the replacement and maintenance of the filter element 150 and the fan 140. Of course, the cover 1320 can also be integrally formed with the base 1310.

[0049] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the filter element 150 and the fan 140 correspond to the two ends of the cover 1320, respectively, and the air inlet 1331 is formed by the portion of the seat 1310 located above the toilet bowl 110 and opening toward the toilet bowl 110. When the fan 140 is started, the fan 140 rotates to form an airflow pointing from the air inlet side to the air outlet side, so that a negative pressure is formed at the air duct 1330, thereby driving the air in the toilet bowl 110 to enter the air duct 1330 from the air inlet 1331, and flow from one end of the cover 1320 to the other end, and then discharged to the exhaust channel 1332 through the fan 140. Of course, refer to Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the end of the cover 1320 opposite to the filter element 150 may also form a slope (not shown), which guides the airflow entering the air duct 1330 from the air inlet, so that the airflow can flow to the fan 140 more smoothly.

[0050] See also Figure 4 and Figure 8 , Figure 81 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the fan 140 and the shock-absorbing sleeve 160 in some embodiments. The type of the fan 140 is not limited, and it can be any applicable element that can generate airflow to suck the gas in the toilet bowl 110 into the air duct 1330. In some embodiments, the fan 140 includes a rotating shaft and a plurality of fan blades rotating along the rotating shaft. The exhaust direction of the fan 140 is parallel to the axial direction of the fan 140, and the two surfaces of the fan 140 that are arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart in the axial direction are the air inlet surface and the air outlet surface 1410 of the fan 140, respectively, and the space located on one side of the air outlet surface 1410 of the fan 140 can be understood as the air outlet side of the fan 140. In some embodiments, the toilet 10 also includes a shock-absorbing sleeve 160 sleeved on the fan 140, and the shock-absorbing sleeve 160 is used to buffer the vibration generated by the fan 140 when it rotates, to prevent the vibration generated by the fan 140 from being transmitted to the base 130 and affecting the normal operation of other components on the base 130, or to generate noise that affects the user's experience.

[0051] Specifically, in some embodiments, the seat body 1310 is provided with a mounting groove 1338 for accommodating the fan 140, the groove wall of the mounting groove 1338 is arranged around the side of the fan 140, the groove bottom of the mounting groove 1338 is opposite to the air outlet surface 1410 of the fan 140, and the groove bottom is opened for the fan 140 to exhaust air. In some embodiments, the shock-absorbing sleeve 160 is sleeved on the fan 140, and the fan 140 is spaced from the groove bottom and groove wall of the mounting groove 1338. The outer surface of the shock-absorbing sleeve 160 is provided with a convex point 1620, and the convex point 1620 abuts against the groove bottom and groove wall of the mounting groove 1338, so that the main body 1610 of the shock-absorbing sleeve 160 is spaced from the groove wall and groove bottom of the mounting groove 1338. The convex point 1620 is provided so that the fan 140 and the shock-absorbing sleeve 160 as a whole can form point contact with the groove bottom and groove wall of the assembly groove 1338 instead of surface contact, which greatly reduces the contact area between the shock-absorbing sleeve 160 and the seat body 1310, thereby effectively suppressing the vibration of the fan 140 from being transmitted to the seat body 1310. At the same time, the convex point 1620 can be made of elastic materials such as rubber, and the convex point 1620 also has a good buffering effect. When the vibration of the fan 140 is transmitted to the convex point 1620, it can be effectively weakened by the convex point 1620, further improving the shock-absorbing effect of the shock-absorbing sleeve 160.

[0052] The specific arrangement of the protrusion 1620 is not limited. For example, it can be integrally formed with the main body 1610 of the shock-absorbing sleeve 160. In some embodiments, the shock-absorbing sleeve 160 is provided with a plurality of main bodies 1610, and the plurality of main bodies 1610 are arranged at intervals on the outer surface of the main body 1610, and are evenly distributed or arranged in any irregular manner. Of course, in other embodiments, the outer surface of the main body 1610 can also be provided with a plurality of spaced-apart long strips of ribs to space the main body 1610 from the bottom and wall of the assembly groove 1338. The ribs are provided so that the fan 140 and the shock-absorbing sleeve 160 as a whole form a line contact with the bottom and wall of the assembly groove 1338 instead of a surface contact, and can also reduce the contact area between the shock-absorbing sleeve 160 and the seat body 1310, thereby effectively suppressing the vibration of the fan 140 from being transmitted to the seat body 1310.

[0053] In other embodiments, the groove wall and groove bottom of the assembly groove 1338 are further provided with a plurality of convex points 1620 or ribs arranged at intervals, so as to space the groove wall and groove bottom of the assembly groove 1338 from the whole body formed by the fan 140 and the shock-absorbing sleeve 160, so that the contact area between the shock-absorbing sleeve 160 and the seat body 1310 can be reduced, and the shock-absorbing effect can be improved. It can be understood that in some embodiments, the convex points 1620 or ribs can be provided only on the outer surface of the shock-absorbing sleeve 160, or only on the groove bottom and groove wall of the assembly groove 1338. Of course, the convex points 1620 or ribs can also be provided on the outer surface of the shock-absorbing sleeve 160 and the groove bottom and groove wall of the assembly groove 1338 at the same time, as long as the main body 1610 of the shock-absorbing sleeve 160 and the seat body 1310 can form point contact or line contact instead of surface contact. It is worth mentioning that the outer surface of the shock-absorbing sleeve 160 forms a convex point 1620, so the contact area between the shock-absorbing sleeve 160 and the groove bottom and groove wall of the assembly groove 1338 is minimized, and the vibration reduction effect of the convex point 1620 is also better.

[0054] Combination Figure 4 and Fig. 9 As shown, Fig. 9 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the cover 1320 in some embodiments. In some embodiments, a plurality of spaced abutment columns 1339 are convexly provided on the surface of the cover 1320 facing the fan 140, and the abutment columns 1339 abut against the air inlet surface of the fan 140 to fix the fan 140 in the assembly groove 1338. The abutment columns 1339 are provided to fix the fan 140, so that the cover 1320 and the fan 140 are also in point contact, which is conducive to suppressing the vibration of the fan 140 from being transmitted to the cover 1320, thereby achieving a shock-absorbing effect.
