Accordingly, the embodiments are not to be restricted, except as by the appended claims and their equivalents. Furthermore, various modifications and changes can be made within the scope of the appended claims.

[0045] Furthermore, in describing representative embodiments, the specification can have presented the method and / or process as a particular sequence of steps. However, to the extent that the method or process depends on the performance of certain steps, the method or process is not limited to the order of steps presented nor to performing some specific steps before other specific steps, unless the application requires that the steps be performed in that order or that some specific steps be performed before other specific steps, as implicitly indicated, explicitly stated or otherwise made clear. As will be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art, other steps can be performed or the described steps could be modified without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application.

[0046] Embodiments of the present application provide a hinge assembly, such as Figures 1-2 The hinge assembly 100 shown in the drawings comprises a hinge body 1 arranged to be fixed to a flip part so that the hinge body 1 can drive the flip part to flip, and a connecting shaft 21 arranged to be connected to a mounting seat of the flip part; the first end of the connecting shaft 21 is connected to the hinge body 1 and the hinge body 1 is rotatable relative to the connecting shaft, and the second end is arranged to be able to limit the mounting seat in the circumferential direction, so that the hinge body 1 can rotate relative to the mounting seat around the connecting shaft 21. As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the drawings, the connecting shaft 21 is provided with an anti-rotation key 211, which is connected to the mounting seat to be mounted to fix the connecting shaft 21 in the circumferential direction relative to the mounting seat, and the connecting shaft 21 can also be provided with a polygonal shape to cooperate with the mounting seat to achieve circumferential fixation.

[0047] The connecting shaft 21 is provided with a wire channel 213 that communicates from the first end to the second end, and the wire harness of the electrical component provided on the toilet cover 200 can enter the first end of the connecting shaft 21 from the hinge body 1, and extend out from the second end to be connected to the power supply module in the mounting seat when the hinge assembly is connected to the mounting seat.

[0048] In some embodiments, the hinge assembly 100 can be used to connect the toilet cover 200 and the rear shell body 400 of the rear end of the toilet, i.e. the flip part is the toilet cover 200, and the mounting seat is the rear shell body 400 of the toilet, of course, the hinge assembly 100 can also be used in other fields.

[0049] Embodiments of the present application provide a hinge assembly 100 when installed on a flip part, for example, installed on a toilet cover 200, as shown in Figures 5-7 and Figures 10-13As shown, the wire harness of the electrical components provided on the toilet cover 200 can enter into the hinge assembly 100 from the first end of the connecting shaft 21 into the wire channel 213 and out from the second end, the wire harness 301 out from the second end can be connected to the controller which can be installed on the mounting seat (for example, the rear shell body 400 of the toilet) where the toilet cover 200 is installed. Since the connecting shaft 21 is fixed in the circumferential direction relative to the mounting seat when connected to the mounting seat, thus, when the hinge body 1 drives the toilet cover 200 to rotate, the connecting shaft 21 does not rotate, therefore, the wire harness 301 passing through the wire channel 213 of the connecting shaft 21 will not rotate following the rotation of the toilet cover 200, thus, the problem of wire harness abrasion caused by the rotation of the toilet cover 200 can be avoided, the risk of wire breakage is reduced, in addition, since the wire harness 301 passes through the wire channel 213 inside the connecting shaft 21, not only the wire routing is convenient, but also the wire harness 301 is connected to the controller in a hidden manner, which can help to improve the appearance of the toilet cover connection.

[0050] In an embodiment, as shown in Figures 2-4 The hinge assembly is further provided with a torsion spring module 2, the torsion spring module 2 includes a torsion spring seat 22 with a cavity installed on the hinge body 1 and a torsion spring 24 located in the cavity of the torsion spring seat 22, the first end of the connecting shaft 21 is installed on the torsion spring seat 22, wherein one end of the torsion spring 24 is connected to the connecting shaft 21 and the other end is connected to the torsion spring seat 22. In this way, when the turnover component provided with the hinge assembly 100 is turned down relative to the mounting seat, the turnover component can be slowed down by the torsion spring 24 and the torsion spring 24 can be stored, and when the turnover component is turned up, the stored torsion spring 24 can provide assistance to the turnover component.

[0051] As shown in the example of Figures 2-4 , the first end (left end in the figure) of the connecting shaft 21 is located in the torsion spring seat 22 and the second end (right end in the figure) extends out of the torsion spring seat 22, wherein the center of the connecting shaft 21 forms a wire channel 213. In order to facilitate the installation of the connecting shaft 21 and the torsion spring 24 in the torsion spring seat 22, one end of the torsion spring seat 22 away from the second end of the connecting shaft 21 is provided with a mounting port, the mounting port is provided with a shaft sleeve cover 23 with an opening 231, the opening 231 corresponds to the first end of the connecting shaft 21, so that the wire harness can enter the torsion spring seat 22 from the opening 231 and then enter the wire channel 213 from the first end of the connecting shaft 21 and extend out from the second end. In order to install the torsion spring 24 on the connecting shaft 21, the connecting shaft 21 forms an annular cavity 212 around the wire channel 213, one end of the torsion spring 24 extends into the annular cavity 212 and the torsion arm of this end is connected to the connecting shaft 21, the other end of the torsion spring 24 is located outside the annular cavity 212 and is connected to a torsion spring connecting block 27, the torsion spring connecting block 27 is fixed to the torsion spring seat 22.

[0052] In an embodiment, the hinge assembly 100 further comprises a driving module 3, the driving module 3 comprising a driving body 32 and an output shaft 31 driven to rotate by the driving body 32, wherein the driving body 32 is mounted to the hinge body 1, and the output shaft 31 is coaxially arranged with the connecting shaft 21; wherein the output shaft 31 is arranged to be connected to the mounting seat and is circumferentially limited relative to the mounting seat, so that when the output shaft 31 is mounted on the mounting seat, the driving body 32 drives the output shaft 31 to rotate, and since the output shaft 31 is circumferentially fixed relative to the mounting seat, the driving body 32 rotates relative to the output shaft 31, and the output shaft 31 is limited to rotate, so that the driving body 32 drives the hinge body 1 to overturn relative to the mounting seat, and the output shaft 31 and the connecting shaft 21 serve as the rotation shaft of the hinge body 1.

[0053] The driving body 32 can comprise a gear box and components such as a motor and a gear assembly arranged in the gear box, and the gear assembly drives the output shaft 31 to rotate, which is a common technique in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0054] It can be understood that the scheme provided in the present application is not limited to integrating the driving module 3 into the hinge assembly 100, but can also be installed on the mounting seat to drive the hinge body 1 to rotate through the output shaft 31.

[0055] In an embodiment, as shown in Figures 1-2 The hinge body 1 comprises a mounting shell 11 having a mounting cavity, the driving module 3 and the torsion spring module 2 are respectively mounted in the mounting cavity of the mounting shell 11, and the output shaft 31 and the connecting shaft 21 respectively extend from two ends of the mounting cavity. In this way, when the output shaft 31 and the connecting shaft 21 are respectively mounted on the mounting seat, the hinge body 1 can be overturned relative to the mounting seat.

[0056] The scheme of the present application can improve the appearance of the hinge assembly 100, improve the assembly efficiency of each component, and facilitate waterproofing of the components mounted in the mounting shell 11 by arranging the mounting shell 11, the torsion spring module 2 and the driving module 3 as a whole.

[0057] As shown in the example, Figures 5-15 The hinge assembly 100 integrated with the driving module 3 and the torsion spring module 2 is mounted on the toilet cover 200, so that the driving module and the torsion spring module are not required on the rear shell body 400 of the toilet, the space occupied by the mounting seat is reduced, thereby improving the overall appearance of the toilet and facilitating simple and rapid installation of the mounting seat and the toilet cover.

[0058] To enable the wire harness to enter the mounting shell 11, at least one wire passing hole 14 is provided on the mounting shell 11 and communicates with the mounting cavity, and the wire harness of at least part of the electrical components enters the mounting cavity from the wire passing hole 14 and then enters the wire routing channel 213 from the first end of the connecting shaft 21 and extends out from the second end.

[0059] Referring to the example shown in Figures 5-7 , Figures 10-11 and Figures 14-15 , the hinge assembly 100 is mounted on the toilet cover 200, and the electrical components provided on the toilet cover 200 include a display device 300, and the wire harness 301 of the display device 300 enters the mounting shell 11 from the wire passing hole 14 on the mounting shell 11, enters the wire routing channel 213 from the first end of the connecting shaft 21, and then extends out from the second end.

[0061] Figures 12-13 In one example, the drive module 3 is a drive component including a motor and a gear box, which needs to be connected with the controller through a wire harness, and in the example shown, the wire harness 33 of the drive module 3 can also enter the wire routing channel 213 from the first end of the connecting shaft 21 and extend out from the second end to connect with the power supply module in the mounting seat when the hinge assembly is connected to the mounting seat.

[0062] Figures 6-7 Since the drive module 3 belongs to electrical components, in order to avoid water entering the mounting shell 11 and affecting the operation of the drive module 3, in the example shown, the hinge assembly 100 further includes a sealing sleeve 15, which is arranged in the wire passing hole 14 to seal the gap between the wire passing hole 14 and the wire passing through, so that water can be prevented from entering the mounting shell 11 from the wire passing hole 14.

[0063] Figure 6 As shown in , a waterproof sleeve 25 is provided between the torsional spring seat 22 and the mounting shell 11, which can prevent water from entering the drive module 3 from the end of the mounting shell 11 having the connecting shaft 21; the second end of the connecting shaft 21 can also be provided with a sealing ring 26, which is used to seal between the connecting shaft 21 and the mounting seat to be mounted. In addition, a sealing ring 34 is provided between the end of the drive main body 32 of the drive module 3 having the output shaft 31 and the mounting shell 11 to prevent water from entering the mounting shell 11 from the end of the mounting shell 11 having the output shaft 31.
