Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of bathroom product technology, and in particular to a urine testing toilet with multiple working modes. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, the bathroom industry has leveraged the convenient waste collection feature of toilets to vigorously develop urine testing toilets, resulting in significant advancements. These toilets are becoming increasingly accurate and intelligent, allowing users to complete a routine urine test simply by leaving after urinating. Urine testing toilets are gradually being rolled out in the home market, enabling users to easily complete routine urine tests at home and obtain professionally interpreted reports and health advice. Users can complete urine tests without going to the hospital, greatly increasing the frequency of self-monitoring and avoiding the inconvenience of busy lifestyles that often prevent timely checkups. Urine testing toilets can also promptly remind users to seek medical attention, providing early warnings of changes in their health and preventing the need for treatment until the condition worsens.
[0003] The urine testing toilet mainly consists of two parts: the smart toilet and the urine testing device. Both the smart toilet and the urine testing device are relatively complex and are susceptible to interference during operation. Therefore, a protection program needs to be set in the software. That is, when the urine testing function is running, other functions of the smart toilet need to enter the urine testing mode to avoid the problem of mutual interference between the moving mechanism and the operating function.
[0004] For example, during a urine test, the water seal of the urine testing toilet needs to be emptied, and flushing or diaphragmatic washing is prohibited. However, if there is a sudden power outage during the urine test, the urine testing toilet will stop working. During the entire power outage, the urine testing device will not reset. If the user uses the flushing or washing function or other functions of the urine testing toilet during a power outage, there may be many risks that could cause the urine testing toilet device to malfunction. To address this issue, we provide a urine testing toilet with multiple operating modes. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a urine testing toilet with multiple working modes.
[0006] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0007] A urine testing toilet with multiple operating modes includes a main control board, a flushing system, a body washing device, a urine testing device, a first power supply, and a second power supply. The main control board can control the operation of the flushing system, the body washing device, and the urine testing device. The main control board is electrically connected to both the first power supply and the second power supply, and the urine testing device is also electrically connected to both the first power supply and the second power supply.
[0008] When the main control board is powered by the first power supply and the urine testing device does not receive a urine testing command, the main control board is in normal mode. In normal mode, the main control board can control the flushing system or the human body cleaning device to work.
[0009] When the main control board is powered by the first power supply and the urine testing device receives a urine testing command, the main control board is in urine testing mode. In urine testing mode, the main control board controls the urine testing device to start working.
[0010] When the main control board switches to the second power supply in the normal mode / urine test mode, the main control board directly or with a delay enters the power-off mode. In the power-off mode, the main control board can at least control the flushing system to work.
[0011] Preferably, the urine testing device includes a urine testing plate, a driving device, a detection device, and a data acquisition device. The urine testing plate is electrically connected to the main control board and can communicate with it. The urine testing plate can control the driving device, the detection device, and the data acquisition device to work.
[0012] Preferably, the main control board is powered by the first power supply, and after the urine testing device receives the urine testing command, the urine testing board controls the drive acquisition device to collect the sample to be tested or controls the detection device to detect data.
[0013] When the main control board switches to the second power supply in the normal mode / urine test mode, if the acquisition device extends at this time, the second power supply continues to supply power to the urine test device to control the acquisition device to reset. The main control board enters the power-down mode after the acquisition device is reset.
[0014] Preferably, when the main control board enters the urine test mode, the main control board transmits the urine test command to the urine test board. The urine test board controls the start of the drive device to drive the acquisition device to collect the test object or drive the detection device to detect the data according to the urine test command. After the urine test is completed, the urine test device feeds back the detection data to the urine test board and then transmits the detection data to the main control board. After receiving the detection data, the main control board exits the urine test mode.
[0015] Preferably, in the power-off mode, the urine testing device is powered off or enters a sleep state, and communication between the urine testing device and the main control board is interrupted.
[0016] Preferably, when the main control board is in urine test mode, the urine test device is started before the flushing system and the human body cleaning device. After the main control board exits the urine test mode, the flushing system and the human body cleaning device are started according to the instructions.
[0017] Preferably, when the main control board enters the urine test mode, the urine test device starts working after the main control board controls the start of the flushing system to empty the toilet water seal; after the main control board exits the urine test mode, it controls the start of the flushing system to clean the toilet and refill the toilet water seal.
[0018] Preferably, the first power source is AC power or a battery, and the second power source is a battery.
[0019] Preferably, the main control board or urine testing device is equipped with a power detection device for detecting the power of the first power supply and / or the second power supply;
[0020] Alternatively, a power detection device can be installed on the first power supply and / or the second power supply. The power information detected by the power detection device is transmitted to the urine testing device or the main control board.
[0021] Preferably, when the power detection device detects that the first power supply is below the power threshold, the second power supply is used; when the power detection device detects that the power of the second power supply is below the power threshold, the urine testing device cannot be started and prompts for a power supply replacement.
[0022] The present invention has the following advantages:
[0023] 1. In the event of a power outage in the normal mode or urine test mode, the present invention uses a second power source as a backup power source, so that the corresponding functions can still be performed in the power outage state. When using the second power source, the urine test device uses the second power source as a backup power source to reset, that is, to restore to the initial position, so as to prevent damage to the toilet when using other toilet functions in the power outage state.
[0024] 2. This invention interrupts communication between the main control board and the urine testing device after using the second power supply, thereby preventing the urine testing device from being accidentally started in the power-off state. Attached Figure Description

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0032] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the invention.
[0033] like Figure 1 —5 shows the embodiment.
[0034] A urine testing toilet with multiple working modes includes a main control board, a flushing system, a body washing device, a urine testing device, a first power supply, and a second power supply. The main control board can control the operation of the flushing system, the body washing device, and the urine testing device. The main control board is electrically connected to the first power supply and the second power supply respectively. The urine testing device is also electrically connected to the first power supply and the second power supply respectively. When the main control board is powered by the first power supply and the urine testing device does not receive a urine testing command, the main control board is in a normal mode. In the normal mode, the main control board can control the operation of the flushing system or the body washing device.
[0035] When the main control board is powered by the first power supply and the urine testing device receives a urine testing command, the main control board is in urine testing mode. In urine testing mode, the main control board controls the urine testing device to start working.
[0036] When the main control board switches to the second power supply in the normal mode / urine test mode, the main control board directly or with a delay enters the power-off mode. In the power-off mode, the main control board can at least control the flushing system to work.
[0037] The operating mode of the main control board is determined by whether it is connected to the first power supply and whether it receives a urine test command. These modes are the normal mode and the urine test mode. When the main control board is connected to the second power supply, its operating mode is the power-off mode. Before entering the power-off mode, the urine test device uses the second power supply to reset it, that is, to restore it to its initial state, to prevent damage or movement interference when using the toilet flushing system. After entering the power-off mode, the toilet can only use the flushing system to ensure the basic function of the toilet. Other functions cannot be used, thereby reducing the use of the second power supply and increasing its usage time until the first power supply is turned on.
[0038] The urine testing device includes a urine testing plate, a driving device, a detection device, and a data acquisition device. The urine testing plate is electrically connected to the main control board and can communicate with it. The urine testing plate can control the driving device, the detection device, and the data acquisition device to work.
[0039] In this implementation, when a urine test is required, the main control board sends the received urine test command to the urine test board, which then controls the start-up of the drive device, detection device, and acquisition device, so that the three work together to complete the urine test. The data detected by the detection device is transmitted to the urine test board, which then transmits the data to the main control board.
[0040] The main control board is powered by the first power supply, and after the urine testing device receives the urine testing command, the urine testing board controls the driving acquisition device to collect the test sample or controls the detection device to detect data.
[0041] When the main control board switches to the second power supply in the normal mode / urine test mode, if the acquisition device extends at this time, the second power supply continues to supply power to the urine test device to control the acquisition device to reset. The main control board enters the power-down mode after the acquisition device is reset.
[0042] In this embodiment, the second power supply provides power to the urine test plate, the driving device, the detection device, and the collection device. Before entering the power-off mode, the urine test plate needs to control the driving device to drive the detection device and the collection device back to their initial state. That is, after the power is cut off, the collection device extends, and the second power supply is used to reset the collection device. This prevents the collection device from failing to return to its original position in the power-off mode, which could cause damage or movement interference to other components, thereby reducing the occurrence of accidents.
[0043] In this embodiment, when the urine testing device needs to be reset after the first power supply is cut off, the second power supply can simultaneously power the main control board and the urine testing board; or it can power the main control board or the urine testing board separately, and then power the urine testing board through the main control board, or it can power the main control board through the urine testing board.
[0044] In the power-off mode, the urine testing device loses power or enters a sleep state, and communication between the urine testing device and the main control board is interrupted.
[0045] In power-down mode, the urine testing device is in a power-off and sleep state, thereby reducing the use of the second power supply and increasing the usage time of the second power supply in power-down mode until the first power supply is powered. In power-down mode, the urine testing device and the main control board cannot communicate and transmit data to prevent the urine testing device from being started due to accidental touch or other reasons.
[0046] When the main control board enters the urine test mode, it transmits the urine test command to the urine test board. The urine test board controls the start of the drive device to drive the acquisition device to collect the test object or drive the detection device to detect the data according to the urine test command. After the urine test is completed, the urine test device feeds back the detection data to the urine test board and then transmits the detection data to the main control board. After receiving the detection data, the main control board exits the urine test mode.
[0047] When the main control board is in urine test mode, the urine test device is activated before the flushing system and the human body cleaning device. After the main control board exits the urine test mode, the flushing system and the human body cleaning device are activated according to the instructions.
[0048] In this embodiment, in urine test mode, the main control board only executes the instructions and equipment required for the urine test. That is, the main control board only controls the activation of the urine test device, transmits urine test instructions to the urine test board, and controls the detection device, drive device, and data acquisition device to complete the urine test. After the urine test is completed, the detection device transmits the detected data to the urine test board, which then transmits the information back to the main control board before exiting the urine test mode. Specifically, before exiting the urine test mode, the main control board needs to control the urine test device to reset.
[0049] After exiting the urine test mode, other devices and equipment are activated via the main control board according to the corresponding instructions. For example, after the urine test, the main control board controls the human body cleaning device to clean the body, and then controls the flushing system to flush the toilet. In this embodiment, the human body cleaning device can be a posterior wash nozzle and / or a feminine wash nozzle. Alternatively, it can also activate drying and other instructions and equipment. The devices executed in this embodiment include, but are not limited to, those described above, and can also be other devices.
[0050] In this embodiment, commands such as urine test commands, flushing commands, human body cleaning commands, and drying commands can be input to the main control board using methods such as buttons, touch, and voice, or a combination of the above methods can be used. Command input includes, but is not limited to, the above methods.
[0051] When the main control board enters the urine test mode, the urine test device executes the urine test command sent from the main control board after the main control board controls the start of the flushing system to empty the toilet water seal; after the main control board exits the urine test mode, it controls the start of the flushing system to clean the toilet and refill the toilet water seal.
[0052] The first power source is mains power or a battery, and the second power source is a battery.
[0053] The main control board or urine testing device is equipped with a power detection device for detecting the power of the first power supply and / or the second power supply.
[0054] Alternatively, a power detection device can be installed on the first power supply and / or the second power supply. The power information detected by the power detection device is transmitted to the urine testing device or the main control board.
[0055] When the power detection device detects that the first power source is below the power threshold, it uses the second power source; when the power detection device detects that the power source of the second power source is below the power threshold, it prompts the user to replace the power source.
[0056] When the first power source is AC mains power, if a power supply is detected, it can be determined that the first power source is powered. If no power supply is detected, it can be determined that the first power source is powered off. This information is then transmitted to the main control board to determine whether the first power source is powered. When the first power source is powered, the second power source is not used; when the first power source is not powered, the second power source is used.
[0057] When both the first and second power sources are batteries, if the power detection device detects that the power level of the first power source is below a threshold, the main control board or the urine testing device will issue an instruction that the urine testing function of the urine testing device cannot be started and / or that the battery needs to be replaced, and simultaneously activate the second power source. If the power detection device detects that the power level of the second power source is below a threshold, the main control board or the urine testing device will remind the user to replace the battery. There are various ways to provide this prompt, including voice prompts, indicator light prompts, wireless transmission of the information to the device terminal, or other methods. The specific prompt method is not limited here and can be set as needed.
[0058] The device terminal can be an electronic product such as a mobile phone, monitor, tablet, or computer, or a control display, or it can display the information through software on a mobile phone. There are no specific restrictions on the type of terminal device here, and multiple devices can be used simultaneously or individually.
[0059] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
