Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of detection technology, and in particular to a detection device and a toilet having the same. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology and the improvement of living standards, people's health awareness is constantly increasing, and their requirements for home health equipment are also getting higher and higher. Smart toilets, due to their intelligence and sewage disposal capabilities, are loved by many families. At present, more and more smart toilets on the market use automated detection instruments to test excrement, so as to realize early screening of diseases by detecting health indicators or the effects of drugs on the body, eliminating the trouble of manual excrement collection and bringing great convenience to users.

[0003] Current smart toilets with health monitoring systems sometimes require movable components to cooperate in the process of detecting excrement. For example, they might extend a waste collection device (the movable component) to collect the waste, then use a testing reagent to react with it to detect health indicators; or they might extend a health testing reagent device (the movable component) to directly react with the excrement falling into the toilet bowl, and then use sensors to identify the test results to obtain health indicator data. However, current smart toilets cannot monitor any abnormalities that occur during the operation of these movable components. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a detection device and a toilet having the same.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a detection device for detecting excrement, comprising:

[0006] The base is located on the toilet bowl body;

[0007] The movable component is movably mounted on the base.

[0008] A driving component is disposed on the base and engages in a transmission relationship with the movable component;

[0009] At least one mark is provided on the drive member and / or the moving member;

[0010] The identification unit is configured to correspond to the activity path of the driving component and / or the moving component.

[0011] During the process of the driving component driving the moving component, the identification unit detects the state of the driving component and / or the moving component by identifying the mark; or, there are multiple moving components, and the moving component is marked, and the identification unit detects whether it is a target moving component by identifying the mark.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the marking includes at least one position mark disposed on the drive member and / or the moving member, and the identification unit detects the position of the drive member and / or the moving member by identifying the position mark.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, there are multiple position markers, and the multiple position markers are different from each other, with each position marker corresponding to a different movement position of the drive member and / or the moving member.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the position marker includes at least a marker corresponding to the position where the movable element is moved into place.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the movable component is provided in multiple ways, and the mark includes a target mark set on each of the movable components. The driving component can switchably drive and cooperate with each movable component. If the identification unit identifies a target mark corresponding to a preset mark, the driving component drives the movable component to continue moving. If the identification unit does not identify a target mark corresponding to a preset mark, it determines that the movable component is malfunctioning.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the marking includes an initial marking disposed on the base. When the movable component is in the initial position, the identification unit can identify the initial marking. After the driving component is activated, if the identification unit still identifies the initial marking within a preset time, it is determined that the movable component is malfunctioning.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the movable component is a detection unit, which includes a detection element and a carrier for placing the detection element. The detection element detects the excrement in the toilet bowl of the toilet body, and the driving component drives the carrier to move.

[0018] Alternatively, the movable component may be a collection rod, through which excrement is collected.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, the identification unit is configured to at least correspond to the active path of the detection element. The identification unit is also used to identify the color of the detection element. The identification unit stores a preset color value. When the identification unit detects that the color of the detection element does not match the preset color value, it determines that the active element is malfunctioning.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment, when it is determined that the moving part is malfunctioning, the driving component stops operating, or the driving component drives the moving part to move in the opposite direction, or an alarm prompt is issued to the user.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the identification unit is capable of identifying the reaction result between the detection element and the excrement.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the movable element is a blocking element, and the side wall of the toilet bowl of the toilet body is provided with a detection hole. The driving element can drive the blocking element to move to block the detection hole.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the recognition unit is a sensor, which is a color recognition sensor or an image recognition sensor.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the system further includes a control unit and a power source disposed on the base. The control unit is signal-connected to the power source and the identification unit, respectively. The power source drives the moving part to move through the driving component.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the movable member is slidably disposed on the base, and the driving member drives the movable member to reciprocate and extend / retract.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the device further includes a container body that is rotatably or slidably disposed on the base. The container body has multiple independent receiving channels inside. Several movable members are provided and respectively installed in the receiving channels. The driving member is detachably driven to the movable members. By rotating or sliding the container body, different receiving channels can be respectively associated with the driving member. The driving member can switch between connecting the movable members in different receiving channels to drive the movable members to extend out of the receiving channels.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the marking adopts one or more of the following: color marking, text marking, shape marking, pattern marking, number marking, symbol marking, and letter marking.

[0028] The present invention also provides a toilet, including a toilet body and the detection device described in any of the above claims.

Detailed Implementation

[0045] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments; however, the detection device and toilet having the same are not limited to the embodiments.

[0046] Example 1

[0047] Please see Figures 1 to 9 As shown, a detection device according to this embodiment is used to detect excrement in the toilet bowl 101 of the toilet body 10, including:

[0048] Base 1 is provided on toilet body 10;

[0049] The movable component is mounted on base 1.

[0050] The driving component 3 is movably mounted on the base 1 and is engaged with the transmission to drive the movable component to move;

[0051] At least one mark is provided on the drive component 3 and / or the moving component;

[0052] The identification unit 5 is located on the base 1 and is set to correspond to the movement path of the driving component 3 and / or the moving component; during the process of the driving component 3 driving the moving component, the identification unit 5 detects the state of the driving component and / or the moving component through the identification mark.

[0053] In this specific implementation, at least one of the aforementioned marks is a color mark. In other embodiments, the initial mark 6 can also be a text mark, shape mark, pattern mark, number mark, symbol mark, or letter mark. The specific implementation is not limited to this, as long as the initial mark can be identified by existing technology.

[0054] In this embodiment, the aforementioned at least one mark includes at least one position mark disposed on the driving member 3 and / or the moving member. The identification unit 5 detects the position of the driving member 3 and / or the moving member by identifying the position mark. When the identification unit 5 identifies the position mark, it determines that the driving member 3 and / or the moving member has moved to the position corresponding to the position mark. In this embodiment, the identification unit 5 identifies the position mark on the driving member 3 and / or the moving member to detect whether the driving member 3 and / or the moving member has moved to the position corresponding to the position mark, thereby enabling the monitoring of the moving position of the driving member 3 and / or the moving member.

[0055] Please see Figures 1 to 9 As shown, in this embodiment, multiple position markers are provided, and these multiple position markers are all different from each other. Each position marker corresponds to a different movement position of the driving component 3 and / or the movable component. The position markers include at least one marker corresponding to the position where the movable component moves into place. That is, the position markers include at least one such marker. When the identification unit 5 identifies this marker, the movable component moves into place (i.e., moves to the designated position). This embodiment sets multiple position markers, which can monitor multiple movement positions of the driving component 3 and / or the movable component, so as to take relevant measures in a timely manner to avoid product damage when the driving component 3 and / or the movable component moves abnormally. In this embodiment, after the driving component 3 starts to move to drive the movable component, if the identification unit 5 does not identify a position marker within a preset time (i.e., when the identification unit 5 detects abnormal movement of the movable component), it is determined that the driving component 3 and / or the movable component has not moved to the preset position corresponding to the position marker within the preset time, and the movable component is malfunctioning.

[0056] In this embodiment, position markers are all set on the driving component 3, and the identification unit 5 is set according to the movement paths of the driving component 3 and the moving component. The identification unit 5 detects the position of the driving component 3 by identifying the position markers, and then infers the position of the moving component. Of course, in other embodiments, it can also be set as follows: position markers are all set on the driving component, and the identification unit is set at least according to the movement path of the driving component. The identification unit detects the position of the driving component by identifying the position markers and then obtains the position of the moving component; position markers are all set on the moving component, and the identification unit is set at least according to the moving component. The identification unit detects the position of the moving component by identifying the position markers and can further deduce the position of the driving component; or, both the driving component and the moving component are provided with position markers, and the identification unit is set according to the movement paths of the driving component and the moving component. During the movement of the driving component and the moving component, the identification unit detects the position of the driving component and the moving component by identifying the position markers.

[0057] Please see Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the aforementioned at least one marker further includes an initial marker 6 disposed on the base 1. The initial marker 6 is different from the position marker. When the movable part is in the initial position, the identification unit 5 can identify the initial marker 6. After the driving part 3 is activated, if the identification unit 5 still identifies the initial marker 6 within a preset time, it is determined that the movable part is malfunctioning, specifically, that the movable part is malfunctioning. This embodiment uses the initial marker 6 to facilitate the determination of whether the movable part has left the initial position or has accurately returned to the initial position.

[0058] Please see Figures 1 to 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the movable member is slidably mounted on the base 1, and the driving member 3 drives the movable member to reciprocate and extend / slide. The driving member 3 is also slidably mounted on the base 1, and multiple position marks are spaced apart along the length direction of the driving member 3. In other embodiments, the movable member may also be rotatably mounted on the base, and the driving member drives the movable member to rotate.

[0059] Please see Figures 1 to 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the detection device further includes a drive unit 7 and a container body 8 that is rotatably or slidably disposed on the base 1. The drive unit 7 is in a transmission cooperation with the container body 8 to automatically drive the container body 8 to rotate or slide. The container body 8 has multiple independent receiving channels 81 inside. Multiple movable parts are provided, and the multiple movable parts are respectively installed in the receiving channels 81. The drive unit 3 is detachably and in a transmission cooperation with the movable parts. By rotating or sliding the container body 8, different receiving channels 81 can correspond to the drive unit 3. The drive unit 3 can switch to connect the movable parts in different receiving channels 81 to drive the movable parts to move out of the receiving channels 81.

[0060] Specifically, in this embodiment, the container body 8 is cylindrical and is detachably rotatably mounted on the base 1. The drive unit 7 is a motor, and the receiving channels 81 are distributed circumferentially along the container body 8.

[0061] Please see Figure 2 or Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, at least one of the multiple movable parts is a detection unit 2. A driving member 3 drives the detection unit 2 to extend into the toilet bowl 101 to detect excrement falling into the detection toilet bowl 101. The detection unit 2 includes a detection element 21 containing a detection reagent and a carrier 22 for placing the detection element 21. The detection unit 2 detects the excrement falling into the toilet bowl 101 through the detection element 21, and the driving member 3 drives the carrier 22 to move to detect the excrement in the toilet bowl 101. This embodiment has multiple detection units 2, and the excrement is specifically urine. The user's health status is detected by detecting biochemical indicators in the excrement. These biochemical indicators specifically include one or more of the following: occult blood, urine glucose, nitrite, pH value, and urine protein.

[0062] Specifically, in this embodiment, the detection element 21 is a test strip, and the carrier 22 includes a box 221 and a support 222. The box 221 has a through channel 2211 extending through it, and the support 222 is slidably disposed within the through channel 2211. The driving member 3 is specifically in transmission cooperation with the support 222. The support 222 is interference-fitted with the inner wall of the through channel 2211, so that the driving member 3 can drive the box 221 to move together when it drives the support 222 to move. A sealed space (not shown in the figure) is formed between the support 222 and the box 221. The detection element 21 is placed on the support 222 and located within this sealed space, so that the detection element 21 is in a sealed environment before and after use, and will not get damp before use or emit odors after use. In other embodiments, the detection element 21 can also be a test pen, a test card, or any other element capable of detecting excrement.

[0063] In this embodiment, the identification unit is set at least along the activity path of the detection element 21. The identification unit is also used to identify the color of the detection element 21, and the identification unit stores preset color values. During the process of the driving member 3 driving the carrier 22 to move towards the toilet bowl 101 to detect the excrement in the toilet bowl 101, when the identification unit detects that the color of the detection element 21 (specifically the color of the detection reagent on the detection element 21) does not match the preset color value, it indicates that the detection reagent has changed, and the detection reagent has expired or been used, thus determining that the detection unit is malfunctioning. In this embodiment, the detection device also includes a display terminal (not shown) connected to the identification unit 5. After the detection element 21 detects the excrement, the driving member 3 can drive the detection unit 2 to move in the opposite direction to the identification unit 5. The identification unit 5 is also used to identify the reaction result between the detection element and the excrement (i.e., it is also used to identify the color after the detection reagent reacts with the excrement) and feeds back the identification result to the display terminal. The box 221 is transparent so that the identification unit 5 can detect the color of the detection element through the box 221. In this embodiment, the identification unit 5 simultaneously identifies the color of the marker and the detection element.

[0064] In this embodiment, the detection device also includes a control unit (not shown) and a power source (not shown) disposed on the base 1. The control unit is connected to the power source and the identification unit 5 respectively. The identification unit 5 feeds back the identification result to the control unit. The power source drives the moving part to move through the drive component 3 and the moving part in a transmission cooperation.

[0065] In this embodiment, when a malfunction of the moving part is detected, the control unit sends a control signal to the power source, causing the power source to control the drive component 3 to drive the moving part in the opposite direction or to stop the drive component 3 from operating. Alternatively, the control unit issues an alarm to the user to avoid product damage and reduce safety risks. In this embodiment, the alarm issued by the control unit to the user can be an audible and / or visual alarm and / or a text message, but is not limited to these.

[0066] Please see Figures 1 to 9 As shown, in this embodiment, at least one of the multiple movable parts is a blocking element 9. The side wall of the toilet bowl 101 is provided with a detection hole 102. The blocking element 9 is used to block the detection hole 102 when the detection unit 2 is not in use. The driving element 3 can drive the blocking element 9 to move to block the detection hole 102. The detection unit 2 extends into the toilet bowl 101 through the detection hole 102. The driving element 3 can switch to connect with the blocking element 9 to drive the blocking element 9 to move.

[0067] Specifically, in this embodiment, a blocking element 9 is provided and disposed in one of the receiving channels 81; the detection unit 2 can also block the detection hole 102. The position markings include a first position marking 41 and a second position marking 42. The first position marking 41 corresponds to the position where the detection unit 2 is in motion, and the second position marking 42 corresponds to the position where the detection unit 2 is in motion to block the detection hole 102. The second position marking 42 also corresponds to the position where the blocking element 9 blocks the detection hole 102. During the process of the driving member 3 driving the detection unit 2 to move, when the identification unit 5 identifies the first position marking 41, it is determined that the detection unit 2 is in motion. At this time, the detection unit 2 extends into the toilet bowl 101 to detect excrement falling into the toilet bowl 101; when the identification unit 5 identifies the second position marking 41, it is determined that the detection unit 2 is in motion to block the detection hole 102. During the process of the driving member 3 driving the blocking element 9 to move, when the identification unit 5 identifies the second position marking 42, it is determined that the blocking element 9 is in motion. At this time, the blocking element 9 blocks the detection hole.

[0068] In this embodiment, by driving the container body 8 to move, the two ends of each receiving channel 81 can correspond to the driving member 3 and the detection hole 102 respectively, so that the driving member 3 can drive the detection unit 2 or the blocking element 9 in the corresponding receiving channel 81 to move to the detection hole 102; the driving member 3 and the blocking element 9 or the detection unit 2 can be detachably connected to each other so that the driving member 3 can switch between connecting the blocking element 9 or the detection unit 2 in different receiving channels 81. The driving member 3 and the detection unit 2 or the blocking element 9 are specifically connected by magnetic attraction.

[0069] In this embodiment, a sliding channel 11 is provided inside the base 1, and the identification unit 5 is located on the periphery of the sliding channel 11. The sliding channel 11 is connected to the bottom of the toilet bowl 101 through the detection hole 102. The detection unit 2 and the sealing element 9 can both slide and engage within the sliding channel 11. A limiting part (not shown) is provided inside the sliding channel 11. When the detection unit 2 moves to the position of the sealing detection hole 102, the box 221 is blocked by the limiting part and cannot continue to move toward the toilet bowl 101. Under the push of the driving member 3, the bracket 222 continues to move toward the toilet bowl 101, extending through the through channel 2211 and into the toilet bowl 101. Figure 5As shown, the detection unit 2 is in position, and at this time the detection element 21 on the bracket 222 can be used to detect the excrement that falls into the toilet bowl 101.

[0070] Please see Figures 1 to 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the power source (not shown) is a motor, and the driving component 3 is a rack slidably mounted on the base 1. The motor is driven by the rack through a gear (not shown). In other embodiments, it can also be configured such that: the detection unit is slidably mounted on the base, the power source is a motor, and the driving component is a push rod slidably mounted on the base, with the motor driving the push rod to extend or retract through a screw and nut transmission assembly; or, the detection unit is slidably mounted on the base, the power source is a cylinder, and the driving component is a piston rod driven by the cylinder; or, the detection unit is rotatably mounted on the base, the power source is a motor, and the driving component is rotatably mounted on the base, with the driving component being a gear set or the output shaft of the motor.

[0071] In this embodiment, the identification unit 5 is a color identification sensor. A light source (not shown in the figure) is also provided on the base around the identification unit. The light source shines into the sliding channel 11. The light source is specifically an LED lamp bead. When the color identification sensor identifies the color of the position mark, it determines that the moving part has moved to the position corresponding to the position mark.

[0072] In other embodiments, the sensor may be configured as an image recognition sensor. In these other embodiments, the location marker may be one or more of the following: color marker, text marker, shape marker, pattern marker, number marker, symbol marker, and letter marker. The processing technology of using an image recognition sensor to acquire an object image and performing recognition analysis on the acquired image to determine whether the image contains a marker is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0073] Please see Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this embodiment also provides a toilet, including a toilet body 10 and the detection device described in any of the above claims. The toilet body 10 has a urinal 101. Specifically, in this embodiment, the toilet is a commode, the toilet body 10 includes a toilet seat and a toilet lid, and a base 1 is disposed on the toilet seat, that is, the detection device is disposed on the toilet seat. In other embodiments, it can also be configured as follows: the toilet is specifically a commode, the toilet body 10 includes a toilet seat and a toilet lid, and the base 1 is disposed on the toilet lid; or, the toilet is specifically a squat toilet; or, the toilet is specifically a urinal.

[0074] The detection method of the detection device in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0075] Step S0, see Figure 9 As shown, in the initial state, the detection unit 2 is not used, and the blocking element 9 blocks the detection hole 102;

[0076] When testing of excrement is required, first empty the liquid from the bottom of toilet bowl 101, see [link / reference]. Figure 12 As shown, the driving component 3 drives the sealing element 9 to retract and move away from the toilet bowl 101; if the identification unit 5 fails to identify the initial mark 6 within the first preset time, it is determined that the sealing element 9 is malfunctioning; if the identification unit 5 identifies the initial mark 6 within the first preset time, it is determined that the sealing element 9 has completed its reset and returns to the receiving channel 81, as shown. Figure 7 As shown, the blocking element 9 is blocked by the container body 8 and cannot continue to move in the reverse direction. The driving element 3 continues to move in the reverse direction, causing the driving element 3 to release the magnetic connection with the blocking element 9. Then, the driving unit 7 drives the container body 8 to rotate so that the two ends of the other receiving channel 81 correspond to the driving element 3 and the detection hole 102 respectively. The driving element 3 moves forward and approaches the detection unit 2 in the other receiving channel 81 and magnetically connects with the detection unit 2, thus executing step S1.

[0077] Step S1, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the detection unit 2 is located in the initial position (i.e., within the receiving channel 81), see [reference]. Figure 10 As shown, the driving component 3 drives the detection unit 2 to extend towards the toilet bowl 101. If the recognition unit 5 can still recognize the initial mark 6 after a second preset time, it is determined that the detection unit 2 is malfunctioning; if the recognition unit 5 cannot recognize the initial mark 6 after a fourth preset time (the initial mark 6 is blocked by the detection unit 2), as... Figure 3 As shown, if the detection unit 2 extends normally, the driving component 3 continues to drive the detection unit 2 to extend, and execute step S2.

[0078] Step S2: The recognition unit 5 recognizes the color of the calibration color block on the detection element 21 and corrects the stored preset color value, then executes step 3;

[0079] Step S3: The identification unit 5 identifies the color of the detection reagent on the detection element 21 and compares the identification result with the preset color value stored in the identification unit 5. When the identification unit 5 identifies that the color of the detection element is consistent with the preset color value, the driving component 3 continues to drive the detection unit 2 to extend and execute step S4. When the identification unit 5 identifies that the color of the detection element 21 is inconsistent with the preset color value, it is determined that the detection unit 2 is malfunctioning, the detection reagent is expired, has been used, or is ineffective (e.g., moisture, dirt, bacteria, etc. cause the detection reagent to fail). The driving component 3 drives the detection unit 2 back to the initial position, and the power source continues to drive the component 3 to move in the reverse direction to disconnect the driving component 3 from the detection unit 2. Then, the driving unit 7 drives the container body 8 to move so that the two ends of the next receiving channel 81 correspond to the driving component 3 and the detection hole 102 respectively. The power source drives the driving component 3 to move in the forward direction so that the driving component 3 is magnetically connected to the detection unit 2 in the next receiving channel 81, thereby replacing the new detection unit 2 and returning to step S1.

[0080] Step S4: When the detection unit 2 moves to the position of blocking the detection hole 102, the driving member 3 continues to drive the detection unit 2 to move. The box 221 cannot continue to move toward the toilet bowl 101 due to the blocking part (not shown) in the sliding channel 11. Under the push of the driving member 3, the bracket 222 continues to move and begins to extend out of the through channel 2211 and into the toilet bowl 101. Step S5 is executed.

[0081] Step S5, see Figure 4 and Figure 10 As shown, if the identification unit 5 identifies the first position mark 41 within the third preset time, it is determined that the detection unit 2 is in position (at this time, most of the bracket 222 extends out of the through channel 2211 and into the toilet bowl 101), and the driving component 3 stops moving. At this time, the detection unit 2 receives urine, and the detection reagent on the detection element 21 reacts with the urine, thereby realizing the detection of excrement. After the fourth preset time, the driving component 3 drives the detection unit 2 to move in the opposite direction, and the bracket 222 begins to retract into the through channel 2211, and step S6 is executed; if the identification unit 5 does not identify the first position mark 41 within the third preset time, it is determined that the detection unit 2 is malfunctioning.

[0082] In step S6, during the reverse movement of the driving component 3 and the detection unit 2, such as Figure 5As shown, if the identification unit 5 identifies the second position mark 42 within the fifth preset time, it is determined that the detection unit 2 has moved to the position of blocking the detection hole 102. At this time, the bracket 222 is completely retracted into the through channel 2211, draining the liquid at the bottom of the toilet bowl 101 to prevent dirt from flowing out through the detection hole 102, and then step S7 is executed; if the identification unit 5 identifies the second position mark 42 within the fifth preset time, it is determined that the movement of the detection unit 2 is abnormal.

[0083] Step S7: The driving component 3 continues to drive the detection unit 2 to move in the opposite direction and pull it back. Specifically, the driving component 3 drives the bracket 222 to move in the opposite direction, and the bracket 222 together drives the box 221 to move in the opposite direction until the detection unit 2 moves to the recognition unit 5. Figure 6 As shown, the color of the test reagent after reacting with the excrement is identified by the identification unit 5 to obtain the test result, and step S8 is executed;

[0084] Step S8: The recognition unit 5 uploads the detection result, and the driving component 3 drives the detection unit 2 to continue moving in the reverse direction. If the recognition unit 5 recognizes the initial mark 6 within the sixth preset time, it is determined that the detection unit 2 has moved to the initial position. Figure 1 As shown, proceed to step S9; otherwise, determine that the detection unit 2 returned an abnormality and trigger an alarm for maintenance.

[0085] Step S9: The driving component 3 continues to move in the reverse direction to disconnect from the detection unit 2. The driving unit 7 drives the container body 8 to rotate so that the two ends of the receiving channel 81 where the sealing element 9 is located correspond to the driving component 3 and the detection hole 102, respectively. Figure 7 As shown, the drive element 3 moves in the forward direction and is magnetically connected to the sealing element 9 (or connected in other ways); then, see... Figure 8 and Figure 11 As shown, the driving unit 3 drives the sealing element 9 to extend out of the receiving channel 81 and move toward the detection hole 102. When the identification unit 5 cannot identify the initial mark 6 after the seventh preset time, the sealing element 9 extends normally, and the driving unit 3 continues to drive the sealing element 9 to move toward the detection hole 102, and executes step S10; otherwise, it is determined that the sealing element 9 extends abnormally.

[0086] Step S10: When the identification unit 5 identifies the second position marker 42 within the eighth preset time period, as follows... Figure 9 As shown, if the sealing element 9 is in position (i.e., the sealing element 9 moves to the position of the sealing detection hole 102), the toilet bowl is flushed, the detection ends, and the process returns to step S0; if the identification unit 5 fails to identify the second position mark 42 within the eighth preset time, it is determined that the sealing element 9 is abnormally extended.

[0087] Example 2 (not shown)

[0088] This embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 1, except that:

[0089] In this embodiment, the detection unit described in Embodiment 1 is not provided. At least one of the multiple movable parts is a collection rod, which is used to collect excrement in the toilet bowl. Specifically, there are multiple collection rods. That is, in this embodiment, the detection unit in Embodiment 1 is replaced by a collection rod. The driving component is in transmission cooperation with the collection rod to drive the collection rod to move and extend into the toilet bowl, so that the collection rod can collect the excrement that falls into the toilet bowl.

[0090] In this embodiment, the detection device further includes a detection mechanism. After the collection rod receives urine and collects excrement from the urinal, the driving component also drives the collection rod to move to the detection mechanism. The detection mechanism is located on the periphery of the sliding channel and is used to detect the excrement collected by the collection rod. The detection mechanism in this embodiment can use existing detection mechanisms to detect the excrement, such as by transmitting test strips to react with the excrement collected by the collection rod to obtain the detection result, or by transporting the collected excrement to a reagent for reaction, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0091] The detection method of the detection device in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0092] Step S0 (same as step S0 in Embodiment 1, except that the detection unit in Embodiment 1 can be adapted to be replaced with a collection rod);

[0093] Step S1: The collection rod is in the initial position (i.e., in the receiving channel). The driving component drives the collection rod to extend towards the toilet bowl. If the identification unit can still identify the initial mark after the second preset time, it is determined that the collection rod is malfunctioning. If the identification unit cannot identify the initial mark after the second preset time, the collection rod extends normally. The driving component 3 continues to drive the collection rod to extend and execute step S2.

[0094] Step S2: If the identification unit identifies the first position mark within the third preset time, it is determined that the collection rod has moved to the correct position, and the driving component stops moving. At this time, the collection rod receives urine to collect excrement. After the fourth preset time, the driving component drives the collection rod to move in the opposite direction, and step S3 is executed; otherwise, it is determined that the collection rod is malfunctioning.

[0095] Step S3: During the reverse movement of the drive unit driving the acquisition rod, if the identification unit identifies the second position mark within the fifth preset time, it is determined that the acquisition rod has moved to the position of blocking the detection hole. At this time, the liquid at the bottom of the toilet bowl is drained to prevent dirt from flowing out through the detection hole, and then step S4 is executed; if the identification unit does not identify the second position mark within the fifth preset time, it is determined that the acquisition rod is malfunctioning.

[0096] Step S4: The driving component continues to drive the collection rod to move in the opposite direction until the collection rod moves to the detection mechanism to transport the collected excrement to the detection mechanism. The detection mechanism detects the excrement collected by the collection rod to obtain the detection result. After the detection is completed, step S5 is executed.

[0097] Step S5: Drive unit 3 drives the acquisition rod to continue moving in the reverse direction. If the identification unit identifies the initial mark within the sixth preset time, it is determined that the acquisition rod has moved to the initial position, and step S6 is executed; otherwise, it is determined that the acquisition rod returns abnormally.

[0098] Step S6: The driving component continues to move in the reverse direction to disconnect from the acquisition rod. The driving unit drives the container body to rotate so that the two ends of the receiving channel where the blocking element is located correspond to the driving component and the detection hole, respectively. The driving component moves forward and magnetically connects with the blocking element. Then, the driving component drives the blocking element to extend out of the receiving channel and move towards the detection hole. If the identification unit cannot identify the initial mark after the seventh preset time, the blocking element extends normally. The driving component continues to drive the blocking element to move towards the detection hole and proceeds to the next step. Otherwise, it is determined that the blocking element extends abnormally.

[0099] Step S10: When the identification unit identifies the second position mark within the eighth preset time, it is determined that the blocking element has moved into place (i.e., the blocking element has moved to the position of the blocking detection hole). At this time, the toilet bowl is flushed and the detection ends.

[0100] In this embodiment, the structure and principle of the remaining undescribed parts are the same as in Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here.

[0101] Example 3 (not shown)

[0102] This embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 1, except that:

[0103] In this embodiment, multiple movable components are provided, and the movable components are provided with the mark. The identification unit identifies the mark on the movable component to detect whether it is the target movable component.

[0104] Specifically, in this embodiment, the aforementioned at least one mark further includes a target mark set on each movable component. Each target mark is pre-stored in the recognition unit, and the target mark is specifically a color mark. The driving component can switchably drive and cooperate with each movable component. During the process of the driving component driving the movable component, if the recognition unit recognizes a target mark corresponding to the preset mark, it determines that the current movable component is the target movable component, and the driving component drives the movable component to continue moving. If the recognition unit does not recognize a target mark corresponding to the preset mark, it determines that the movable component is malfunctioning. Here, the preset mark refers to the target mark on the target movable component. For example, when the driving component needs to drive the detection unit to extend, the driving component switches to drive and cooperate with the detection unit. During the process of the driving component driving the detection unit to extend, if the recognition unit recognizes a target mark corresponding to the preset mark (at this time, the preset mark refers to the target mark on the detection unit), it determines that the current movable component is the detection unit (i.e., the target movable component), and the driving component drives the detection unit to continue moving. If the recognition unit does not recognize a target mark corresponding to the preset mark, it determines that the detection unit is malfunctioning. For example, when the driving component needs to drive the blocking element to extend, the driving component switches to drive the blocking element. During the process of the driving component driving the blocking element to extend, if the identification unit identifies a target mark corresponding to the preset mark (at this time, the preset mark refers to the target mark on the blocking element), it determines that the current moving component is the blocking element (i.e., the target moving component), and the driving component drives the blocking element to continue moving; if the identification unit does not identify a target mark corresponding to the preset mark, it determines that the blocking element is malfunctioning.

[0105] In this embodiment, the target markers on different detection units can also be different to facilitate the identification of different detection units.

[0106] In this embodiment, the structure and principle of the remaining undescribed parts are the same as in Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here.
