DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] An intelligent elderly-friendly toilet comprises a toilet body 1 and a water tank 2. An intelligent assistance system is installed on the water tank 2 to improve the convenience of using the toilet and make it more suitable for use by the elderly.

[0032] like Figure 1、 2 As shown, the intelligent assistance system includes an equipment box 5, which is installed on the upper part of the water tank 2. A detection device 51 is provided on the front side of the equipment box 5, and a sensor 52 for detecting human body is installed on the detection device 51; the sensor 52 can be specifically a proximity switch. When a human body approaches, the sensor 52 detects the person, and the detection device 51 can count, and then when the person finishes using the toilet and leaves, the sensor 52 is triggered again. When the time interval between the two triggers is greater than the preset time, the detection device 51 can determine that someone is using the toilet, and then trigger the flush signal, which is driven by the motor 9 to realize automatic flushing, making it convenient for users to use the toilet, especially for elderly people with limited mobility; when the time interval between the two triggers is too short, generally less than five seconds, there may be a situation where a person passes by but does not use the toilet, and the flush signal is not triggered.

[0033] Specifically, a drain valve 3 is provided inside the water tank 2, and a button 4 is provided on the top of the water tank 2. The drain valve 3 can be operated to drain water by pressing the button 4. A downward pressure component 7 and a power component 8 are installed inside the equipment box 5 of the intelligent assistance system. The power component 8 is coupled to the detection device 51. When the detection device 51 triggers a flush signal, it can output a rotational action, driving the downward pressure component 7 to rise and fall, thereby pushing the button 4. Pressing the button 4 can realize flushing.

[0034] A float 6 is arranged inside the water tank 2, and a deodorizing block 65 is arranged inside the float 6, which can be adjusted up and down to a certain extent inside the water tank 2. During the adjustment process, the deodorizing block 65 inside the float 6 can be partially immersed in the water tank 2, and the deodorizing block 65 can be partially dissolved in the water tank 2, so that during the flushing process, the toilet can be cleaned and deodorized to a certain extent.

[0035] The power assembly 8 includes a motor 9 and an output shaft 91 , wherein the output shaft 91 is horizontally installed and rotatably connected to the equipment box 5 , and the rotational motion of the motor 9 can be output through the output shaft 91 .

[0036] The power assembly 8 also includes a cam 81 arranged on the output shaft 91. During the rotation process, the downward circumference of the cam 81 forms ups and downs; and the lower circumference of the cam 81 is against the downward pressure assembly 7, pushing the downward pressure assembly 7 to move downward during the rotation process, and then pressing the button 4 to realize intelligent assisted flushing.

[0037] like Figure 6As shown, the pressing assembly 7 includes a pressing rod 71, a pressing block 74, and a pressing spring 73. The lower end of the pressing rod 71 extends through the bottom of the equipment box 5 and presses against the button 4 of the drain valve 3, enabling the pressing rod 71 to press the drain valve 3. The pressing block 74 is located above the pressing rod 71, with a certain gap formed between the pressing block 74 and the pressing rod 71. The lower portion of the pressing rod 71 is supported by the pressing spring 73 at the bottom of the equipment box 5, while the upper portion presses against the lower circumference of the cam 81. As the cam 81 rotates, it first exerts downward pressure on the pressing block 74, causing it to descend. Due to the certain gap between the pressing block 74 and the pressing rod 71, there is a certain hysteresis in the pressing rod 71's push on the button 4. Only after the pressing block 74 and the pressing rod 71 contact each other can the pressing rod 71 be pushed, thereby pressing the button 4 of the drain valve 3 and flushing the toilet.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, the float 6 includes a buoyancy shell 61 with an internal accommodating chamber 62. The buoyancy shell 61 has good buoyancy and can achieve a floating state. The buoyancy shell 61 has an overall cylindrical structure, with a lower through hole 68 at the bottom and an upper through hole 612 at the top. The lower through hole 68 and the upper through hole 612 extend through both ends. The lower end of the lower through hole 68 defines a downwardly expanding tapered bell mouth 69. A suitable sealing plug 610 is disposed within the bell mouth 69. When the sealing plug 610 moves downward relative to the bell mouth 69, the sealing plug 610 opens the bell mouth 69. When the sealing plug 610 moves upward relative to the bell mouth 69, the sealing plug 610 and the bell mouth 69 abut against each other, sealing the lower through hole 68.

[0039] A support rod 611 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the sealing plug 610, and the support rod 611 passes through the lower through hole 68 and the upper through hole 612 of the buoyancy shell 61, and penetrates the buoyancy shell 61; the upper end of the support rod 611 is connected to the pull wire 10, and the float 6 is supported as a whole by the pull wire 10. By winding the pull wire 10, the height of the float 6 can be adjusted.

[0040] A water-permeable ring 63 is located at the bottom of the accommodating chamber 62. This ring is densely covered with holes, primarily serving as a support and cushion. A support plate 64 is located above this ring, with several deodorizing blocks 65 stacked on top. A pressure plate 66 is located above these blocks, and this pressure plate is pressed downward by a limit spring 67. This force keeps the pressure plate 66 in its lowest position, thereby maintaining the deodorizing blocks 65 in their lowest position. Both the support plate 64 and the pressure plate 66 are densely covered with water-permeable holes 641, allowing water to flow smoothly through the accommodating chamber 62.

[0041] Under the action of the pull line 10, the entire float 6 is suspended from the lower end of the pull line 10. Under the action of its own weight, the lower end of the buoyancy shell 61 is pressed against the sealing plug 610. The lower section of the buoyancy shell 61 is immersed in the water for a short distance. Under the action of a portion of the buoyancy force and the supporting force of the sealing plug 610, the lower end of the float 6 is able to maintain a close contact. When the pull line 10 is relaxed, the float 6 is lowered. During this process, the volume of the buoyancy shell 61 immersed in the water increases, and the buoyancy generated also increases, until the buoyancy force on the buoyancy shell 61 matches its own weight, the buoyancy shell 61 floats in the water, the sealing force between the buoyancy shell 61 and the buoyancy shell 61 disappears, and the lower through hole 68 at the bottom of the buoyancy shell 61 opens, allowing the deodorizing liquid dissolved in the buoyancy shell 61 to flow out from the lower through hole 68, creating a liquid circulation exchange, thereby providing a certain deodorizing function for the water in the water tank 2. During the tightening process of the pull wire 10, the pull wire 10 pulls the sealing plug 610 upwards, lifting the entire float 6. The conical portion of the sealing plug 610 and the bell mouth 69 at the bottom of the buoyancy shell 61 are pressed and sealed against each other, thereby achieving separation between the accommodating chamber 62 and the water tank 2. Only a small portion of the deodorizing block 65 in the accommodating chamber 62 is entered into the water, reducing the excessive dissolution of the deodorizing block 65 and playing a certain saving role.

[0042] Two positioning wheels 11 are mounted on the upper portion of the water tank 2. The two positioning wheels 11 press against each other's circumferences. The pull line 10 passes between the two positioning wheels 11, and the float 6 is mounted below the two positioning wheels 11. The positioning wheels 11 not only position the float 6 but also limit the maximum lifting height of the float 6, allowing the float 6 to be raised and lowered smoothly and stably. Furthermore, a pressure ring 614 is connected to the upper portion of the buoyancy housing 61 via a pressure spring 613. The pressure ring 614 can press against the lower side of the positioning wheels 11 to limit the position, and the pressure spring 613 forms a certain elastic buffering effect, further maintaining the stability of the float 6's lifting and lowering adjustment.

[0043] like Figure 2 、 4 As shown, a winding wheel 13 and several guide wheels 12 are installed in the equipment box 5 of the intelligent assistance system. The winding wheel 13 can reel in the cable 10 of the float 6, thereby controlling the hanging height position of the float 6, while the guide wheels 12 can guide the cable 10, making the cable 10 winding and conveying in the intelligent assistance system more stable and smooth. The lower end of the cable 10 is connected to the float 6, and the upper end passes through the channel 41 on the button 4 and extends into the equipment box 5, where it is wound on the winding wheel. The cable 10 is guided by the multiple guide wheels 12 in the equipment box 5, thereby ensuring that the guide wheels 12 can reel smoothly.

[0044] The cable 10 is wound up by a winding wheel 13 , which is mounted on an adjusting assembly 15 and is rotated and adjusted by the adjusting assembly 15 to control the rotation direction of the winding wheel 13 so as to achieve unwinding and winding of the cable 10 .

[0045] Specifically, the adjusting assembly 15 includes a friction shaft 151, a friction wheel 152 and an adjusting shaft 153. The friction shaft 151 is vertically rotatably installed in the equipment box 5 and is driven to rotate by the driving device 14; the adjusting shaft 153 is vertically rotatably installed in the equipment box 5 and is coplanar with the friction shaft 151; a friction disc is installed at one end of the adjusting shaft 153, and a spherical friction convex surface 1513 is provided on the side of the friction disc facing the friction shaft 151. The friction convex surface 1513 is against the friction shaft 151, and the friction between the two can realize torque transmission, so that the rotation of the adjusting shaft 153 can be driven by the friction shaft 151; and a winding wheel 13 is installed at the other end of the adjusting shaft 153. The rotation of the adjusting shaft 153 can drive the winding wheel 13 to rotate synchronously, thereby realizing the winding of the pull line 10 and achieving the pulling effect on the float 6.

[0046] The middle section of the adjusting shaft 153 is supported by a swing block 154 for rotation, and the swing block 154 can swing at its position, so that both ends of the adjusting shaft 153 can also swing up and down. During the swinging process, the contact position between the friction disk and the friction shaft 151 will change. In the process of the friction position changing from one side of the adjusting shaft 153 to the other side, the rotation direction of the adjusting shaft 153 will change accordingly, so that the forward and reverse rotation of the adjusting shaft 153 can be changed, and the winding and unwinding of the winding wheel 13 can be adjusted.

[0047] Specifically, the lower portion of the swing block 154 is rotatably connected to the equipment box 5 via a swing shaft 156. An adjustment hole 155 is provided on the swing block 154 for the adjustment shaft 153 to pass through. The adjustment shaft 153 can axially move and rotate within the adjustment hole 155, thereby providing rotational and sliding support for the adjustment shaft 153 on the swing block 154. An adjustment spring 157 is installed between the swing block 154 and the friction disk. The adjustment spring 157 is mounted on the outside of the adjustment shaft 153. The elasticity of the adjustment spring 157 can push the friction disk outward, pressing the friction convex surface 1513 of the friction disk against the outer periphery of the friction shaft 151, thereby maintaining the friction transmission between the friction disk and the friction shaft 151.

[0048] To prevent instability during the adjustment process, a stopper 158 is fixedly installed on the side of the adjustment shaft 153 away from the friction disc. This stopper 158 limits the movement of the adjustment shaft 153, thereby maintaining the stability and smoothness of the adjustment shaft 153. Because there is a certain distance difference between the rotation center of the swing block 154 and the spherical center of the friction convex surface 1513, the swing block 154 and the adjustment block will produce a certain amount of axial movement during the swing process. The adjustment spring 157 can maintain a stable frictional contact between the two friction contact points.

[0049] The pull line 10 wraps around the winding wheel 13 and extends downward. Under the action of the float 6, it exerts a downward force on the end of the adjustment shaft 153. The adjustment shaft 153 is rotatably connected to a rotating sleeve 159 at a position corresponding to the position between the winding wheel 13 and the swing block 154. A tension spring 1510 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the rotating sleeve 159. Under the action of the tension spring 1510, an upward elastic force is applied to the adjustment shaft 153. The elastic force of the tension spring 1510 and the downward force of the pull line 10 combine to achieve a basic equilibrium state on the adjustment shaft 153. As the water tank 2 drains, the buoyancy of the float 6 changes, thereby generating a difference in upward and downward tension on the adjustment rod, which can drive the adjustment shaft 153 to swing up and down, changing the frictional contact position between the friction disk and the friction shaft 151, and achieving the winding and unwinding adjustment of the adjustment shaft 153 and the winding wheel 13.

[0050] In order to facilitate the adjustment of the tension of the tension spring 1510, a connecting seat 1511 can be fixed on the upper end of the tension spring 1510, and the upper end of the connecting seat 1511 is rotated to be connected to the screw 1512, and the upper end of the screw 1512 passes through the upper side wall of the equipment box 5 and is threadedly connected to the equipment box 5; by threading the height of the screw 1512, the tension spring 1510 can be pulled up and down, so that the upward pulling force of the tension spring 1510 can be adjusted in the extrusion state, which is convenient for adjusting the balance state of the adjustment shaft 153.

[0051] The drive device 14 of the friction shaft 151 can be independently driven by a separate rotary driver, capable of outputting a stable torque to the friction shaft 151. Alternatively, to achieve linkage between the pressing action of the button 4 and the reeling and unreeling action of the float 6, the drive device 14 can be configured as a gear transmission assembly, with the input position of the gear transmission assembly connected to the output shaft 91 of the motor 9 to achieve power input; and the output position of the gear transmission assembly is connected to the friction shaft 151, so that the power of the motor 9 can be output to the friction shaft 151, achieving linkage of the mechanisms.

[0052] During use, the intelligent assistance system on the toilet can detect the user using the toilet and record the time the user has been using the toilet through the detection device 51 and the sensor 52. When the user leaves, the detection device 51 can send a flushing signal, and the motor 9 can drive the automatic flushing, making it easier for users to use the toilet, especially for elderly people with limited mobility.

[0053] In the initial state, the water level in the water tank 2 is high, and the buoyancy generated by the float 6 is large, so the downward pulling force generated by the float 6 on the pull wire 10 is small; the elastic force generated by the tension spring 1510 on the adjusting shaft 153 is larger, and one end of the winding wheel 13 on the adjusting shaft 153 will be tilted upward under the action of the tension spring 1510; the friction wheel 152 swings downward, and the upper side of the friction convex surface 1513 of the friction wheel 152 presses and rubs against the friction shaft 151. The motor 9 drives the output shaft 91 to rotate, and presses the button 4 through the cam 81 to open the drain valve 3 to flush water; at the same time, the winding wheel 13 starts to rotate, and the pull wire 10 on the winding wheel 13 is unwound, so that the pull wire 10 is relaxed, and the support rod 611 and the sealing plug 610 suspended by the pull wire 10 will drop, and the volume of the buoyancy shell 61 immersed in water increases, and the buoyancy generated increases. The sealing plug 610 and the lower through hole 68 and the bell mouth 69 at the bottom of the buoyancy shell 61 are opened, so that the water flow can be exchanged between the buoyancy shell 61 and the water tank 2, and then the dissolved liquid of the deodorizing block 65 in the buoyancy shell 61 is partially exchanged to the water tank 2, and discharged during the flushing process of the water tank 2, thereby achieving a deodorizing effect.

[0054] The float 6 drops to the lowest position of the cable 10. At this time, the float 6 is completely suspended at the lower end of the cable 10. The tension generated on the cable 10 will increase, which can act on the tension spring 1510 to pull one end of the winding wheel 13 of the adjusting shaft 153 downward, causing the adjusting shaft 153 to swing in the opposite direction to the previous direction. The friction wheel 152 then swings upward. The lower side of the friction convex surface 1513 of the friction wheel 152 presses and rubs against the friction shaft 151. The driving direction of the adjusting shaft 153 by the friction shaft 151 will change. During the rotation of the adjusting shaft 153, it will drive the winding wheel 13 to reel in the cable 10. During the reeling process, the float 6 rises to a high position, and the rear driving device 14 will also stop rotating at almost the same time.

[0055] Then, the water in the water tank 2 rises further. During the rising process, the water level will gradually touch the buoyancy shell 61 of the float 6. The buoyancy generated by the float 6 as a whole will gradually increase, and the tension generated by the float 6 on the pull line 10 will gradually decrease until the tension of the float 6 on the pull line 10 is less than the tension of the tension spring 1510. The tension spring 1510 will gradually swing one end of the winding wheel 13 of the adjustment shaft 153 upward until it reaches the initial position, and the water tank 2 is filled with water.

[0056] By adopting the above technical solution, not only can the intelligent auxiliary flushing of the toilet be realized, but also the auxiliary addition of deodorizing agents in the toilet can be realized, which is convenient for use, especially for elderly people or patients with limited mobility.

[0057] On the basis of the above solution, the friction wheel 152 can be further improved to improve the stability of the transmission; Figure 5 As shown, a pressing plane 1527 can be provided in the middle of the friction convex surface 1513 on the friction wheel 152. The pressing plane 1527 is perpendicular to the adjustment shaft 153. The pressing plane 1527 serves as the switching position for the friction transmission on the upper and lower sides of the friction wheel 152. A guide bead 1523 is installed on the pressing plane 1527. The guide bead 1523 provides auxiliary guidance at the direction switching position to avoid jamming between the friction wheel 152 and the friction shaft 151.

[0058] Limiting blind holes 1521 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the pressing plane 1527. The limiting blind holes 1521 are provided with limiting openings 1522 facing the friction shaft 151. The limiting openings 1522 are in the shape of a gradually shrinking cone. A guide bead 1523 and a support spring 1526 are provided in the limiting blind hole 1521. The guide bead 1523 is located on the side close to the limiting opening 1522 and is slightly smaller than the size of the limiting opening 1522. The guide bead 1523 can only partially extend from the limiting opening 1522 and is used to resist the friction shaft 151, playing a rolling guide role. The support spring 1526 elastically presses between the bottom of the limiting blind hole 1521 and the guide bead 1523, which can ensure that a portion of the guide bead 1523 can always extend to the outside of the limiting blind hole 1521 and protrude from the pressing plane 1527, thereby achieving stable switching and guiding effects with the friction shaft 151.

[0059] In order to maintain the stability of the guide bead 1523, a support block 1524 can be set between the support spring 1526 and the guide bead 1523. A support protrusion ring 1525 is set on the side of the support block 1524 facing the guide bead 1523. The support protrusion ring 1525 can support the guide bead 1523, so that the guide bead 1523 can roll more smoothly, thereby maintaining the smoothness and stability of the friction wheel 152 during the swing switching process.
