[0002] In the intelligent toilet industry, water flow needs to be heated for hip cleaning, wherein a heating module is fixed in a base module. In order to safely and effectively control the water flow heating, the software logic control needs to detect the water flow temperature before and after heating. Generally, a temperature sensor is used to detect the water flow temperature, and the fixing mode of the temperature sensor generally uses screw fixing. For example, Figure 1 A common fixing mode using metal screws in the prior art is shown. The screw locking fixing not only has low production efficiency, but also the metal screws 1' are prone to corrosion and rust in a high-humidity condition for a long time, which affects the subsequent disassembly and assembly during maintenance.
