[0038] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are 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 creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the invention claimed for protection, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention.

[0039] Example

[0040] Combination Figures 1 to 10 The present embodiment provides a self-cleaning method for a smart toilet, which includes a toilet body 1, a toilet cover 2, a seat 3, and a first water spray assembly 4 correspondingly configured on the seat 3 and a second water spray assembly 5 correspondingly configured on the toilet cover 2.

[0041] The toilet is used to implement at least the following steps:

[0042] S1: Perform self-cleaning operation within a specified time threshold after the user uses the toilet, or after receiving the user's cleaning instruction;

[0043] S2: Under the premise that the toilet cover 2 and the seat ring 3 are turned over to the covered state, the second water spraying assembly 5 is controlled to spray water to clean the seat ring 3 and flow into the toilet body 1 at the same time;

[0044] S3: correspondingly controlling the first water spraying assembly 4 to spray water to clean the upper edge of the toilet body 1;

[0045] S4: After cleaning continues for a period of time, the first water spray assembly 4 and the second water spray assembly 5 are controlled to stop spraying water.

[0046] The above-mentioned self-cleaning method for the smart toilet realizes automatic cleaning of the seat ring 3 and the upper edge of the toilet body 1 by configuring the first water spray assembly 4 on the seat ring 3 and the second water spray assembly 5 on the toilet cover 2, effectively removing urine, stains and other pollutants, covering the entire area without leaving any dead corners. It automatically starts at a specified time after the user uses the toilet or receives a cleaning instruction, without complicated operations, improving the convenience of use and meeting the characteristics of intelligence.

[0047] The toilet lid 2 and the seat ring 3 perform cleaning operations in the closed state, which not only ensures the closedness of cleaning and prevents water splashing, but also reduces the risk of pollutants spreading to the external environment during the cleaning process. The second water spray component 5 focuses on the cleaning of the seat ring 3, while the first water spray component 4 is responsible for the cleaning of the upper edge of the toilet body 1. The two parts cooperate with each other, which not only has a clear division of labor, but also improves the cleaning efficiency and effect. The top-down cleaning mode has a controllable cleaning time. The continuous cleaning cooperation between the two water spray components avoids the waste of water resources during the cleaning process, embodies the concept of energy conservation and environmental protection, effectively removes bacteria, viruses and other pollutants, and reduces the risk of cross-infection. It is especially suitable for public toilets and multi-user household scenarios, significantly improving overall sanitary conditions and protecting user health.

[0048] In step S1, it also includes:

[0049] The specified time threshold is 0 to 60 seconds after the toilet lid 2 and the seat 3 are turned over to the closed state. Therefore, the setting of the time threshold fully considers the user's behavior habits, making the cleaning start process more natural, and will not affect the user experience due to delayed operation or premature start. Preferably, the specified time threshold is 30 seconds, and its cleaning efficiency is particularly good.

[0050] In step S1, it also includes:

[0051] The cleaning instructions are obtained through wired or wireless switch signals, or preset voice signals. Obviously, the cleaning instructions can be triggered by wired or wireless switch signals, which is suitable for traditional button operation or remote control scenarios. At the same time, supporting voice signals as command input greatly improves the user's operating convenience, which is particularly suitable for smart home environments.

[0052] In this embodiment, the two water spraying components continue to clean for a period of time, which is specifically manifested as follows:

[0053] The second water spray assembly 5 is controlled to be turned on before the first water spray assembly 4, or the second water spray assembly 5 and the first water spray assembly 4 are controlled to be turned on synchronously. Specifically, the opening time of the second water spray assembly 5 differs from the opening time of the first water spray assembly 4 in the range of 0s to 120s.

[0054] The second water spray assembly 5 is controlled to be closed before the first water spray assembly 4, or the second water spray assembly 5 and the first water spray assembly 4 are controlled to be closed synchronously. Specifically, the closing time of the second water spray assembly 5 differs from the closing time of the first water spray assembly 4 in the range of 0s to 120s.

[0055] More preferably, the second water spray assembly 5 is controlled to be turned on before the first water spray assembly 4, and the second water spray assembly 5 is controlled to be turned off before the first water spray assembly 4. Preferably, when the difference is 60s, the overall cleaning effect is best. Thus, the second water spray assembly 5 (for cleaning the seat 3) is turned on first, and the area of ​​the seat 3 that the user directly contacts is cleaned first to prevent the pollutants from further spreading to the upper edge of the toilet body 1. In addition, the second water spray assembly 5 is turned off first to ensure that the cleaning operation of the seat 3 is completed before the cleaning of the main area is completed, so as to avoid the flushing water of the toilet body 1 from contaminating the cleaned seat 3. Refined cleaning is achieved through regional cleaning and sequential control. The pollution of the seat 3 is dealt with first, and then the main area is dealt with, so that the cleaning is more targeted and the effect is more significant.

[0056] The second water spray assembly 5 and the first water spray assembly 4 are provided with the same cleaning duration. On the one hand, setting the same cleaning duration can simplify the logic of the cleaning program, reduce the complex control of the system on the time parameters, and improve the operation stability and reliability. On the other hand, ensuring the same cleaning time for the seat ring 3 and the toilet body 1 area helps to achieve the same degree of cleaning effect and avoid insufficient or excessive cleaning of a part due to the difference in duration.

[0057] And, there is at least a time period in which the second water spray component 5 and the first water spray component 4 spray water for cleaning at the same time. Therefore, by spraying water for cleaning synchronously within the specified time period, the key cleaning areas of the seat ring 3 and the toilet body 1 can be covered at the same time in a relatively short time, which greatly improves the overall cleaning efficiency and shortens the cleaning cycle. The water spray covers multiple areas at the same time, ensuring that stubborn stains and dirt can be fully cleaned, achieving a comprehensive and deep cleaning effect.

[0058] It should be mentioned that the first water spray assembly 4 is configured as a plurality of regularly arranged water spray outlets arranged around the bottom surface of the seat ring 3. After the seat ring 3 is turned over to the covered state, the water spray outlets assigned thereto are arranged directly above the toilet body 1. The second water spray assembly 5 is configured as a plurality of regularly arranged water spray outlets arranged around the bottom surface of the toilet cover 2. After the toilet cover 2 is turned over to the covered state, the water spray outlets assigned thereto are arranged directly above the seat ring 3. For the specific configuration and wiring layout of the first water spray assembly 4 and the second water spray assembly 5, please refer to the relevant description of the smart toilet below.

[0059] In this embodiment, the toilet lid 2 is provided with a germicidal lamp 9 for irradiating the end surface of the seat ring 3. For the specific connection configuration of the germicidal lamp 9, please refer to the relevant description of the smart toilet below.

[0060] The self-cleaning method for the smart toilet also includes the following steps:

[0061] S5: After waiting for a preset time, the germicidal lamp 9 is controlled to work and turn off immediately after another period of time. Preferably, the other period of time is 180s to 300s. Obviously, after cleaning, the end surface of the seat ring 3 is irradiated by the germicidal lamp 9, which can effectively disinfect bacteria and viruses, prevent bacteria from growing, further improve the hygienic performance of the smart toilet, and meet the needs of high hygienic standards in homes and public places.

[0062] The following further explains the specific structural configuration of the smart toilet:

[0063] Combination Figures 2 to 10 The smart toilet provided in this embodiment includes a toilet body 1, a toilet cover 2, a seat ring 3, and a cleaning mechanism. The cleaning mechanism at least includes a first water spray component 4 and a second water spray component 5. The first water spray component 4 is correspondingly configured on the seat ring 3, and is used to implement water cleaning on the upper edge of the toilet body 1. The second water spray component 5 is correspondingly configured on the toilet cover 2, and is used to implement water cleaning on the end surface of the seat ring 3.

[0064] The above-mentioned smart toilet, by providing at least two water spraying components in the cleaning mechanism, realizes effective automatic cleaning of the upper edge of the toilet body 1 and the seat ring 3 respectively, which helps to maintain the hygienic state of the toilet.

[0065] The first water spray component 4 is arranged on the seat ring 3, which can clean the upper edge of the toilet body 1 with water and effectively remove stains and bacteria. Correspondingly, the second water spray component 5 is arranged on the toilet cover 2 to clean the end surface of the seat ring 3 to ensure that there is no stain remaining on the surface of the seat ring 3. Compared with the traditional manual cleaning method, automatic cleaning can be achieved, which saves manpower and is more efficient and hygienic.

[0066] By adopting an automated cleaning method and precisely positioning the water spray component, it can not only effectively remove stains generated when using the toilet, but also achieve a sterilization effect through appropriate water pressure and spray frequency, which helps to inhibit the growth of pathogens, reduce the risk of cross-infection, and improve the hygiene and safety of the user's toilet process.

[0067] like Figure 2 and Figure 7As mentioned above, in this embodiment, the first water spray assembly 4 is configured as a plurality of regularly arranged water spray ports arranged around the bottom edge of the seat ring 3. After the seat ring 3 is flipped to the covering state, each of the water spray ports is arranged directly above the toilet body 1. When the seat ring 3 is flipped to the covering state, the positions of the water spray ports are just aligned with the upper edge end surface area of ​​the toilet body 1, which can effectively cover the entire area during cleaning, so that the water can be evenly sprayed on the toilet body 1, ensuring comprehensive cleaning of the area.

[0068] Specifically, an outer ring water channel for accommodating the first water spray assembly 4 is formed inside the seat ring 3, and an electric heating wire 6 is arranged in the seat ring 3, which is isolated from the outer ring water channel and bent and arranged in the entire seat ring 3. In order to achieve efficient cleaning function and heating effect, an outer ring water channel is formed in the seat ring 3 to accommodate the water channel system of the first water spray assembly 4, and the outer ring water channel surrounds the periphery of the bottom surface of the seat ring 3, and is effectively isolated from other parts outside the seat ring 3, ensuring smooth water flow and stable operation of the cleaning function.

[0069] Furthermore, the heating wire 6 is arranged along the inner side of the seat ring 3 in a curved manner, covering the entire area of ​​the seat ring 3, which not only provides a heating function so that the seat ring 3 can provide a comfortable temperature in cold seasons, but also avoids direct contact between the water flow and the heating wire 6 to ensure safety. When the seat ring 3 is in use, the heating wire 6 can effectively heat the surface of the seat ring 3 to enhance the user's comfort experience. In addition, the configuration of the outer ring waterway and the heating wire 6 are independent of each other to avoid mutual interference. The outer ring waterway is responsible for providing clean water for the first water spray assembly 4, while the heating wire 6 focuses on the heating function, ensuring that the water spraying effect will not be affected during use, and the comfortable temperature of the seat ring 3 can be maintained.

[0070] Among them, water flow is input to the outer ring waterway along one of the pivot axes of the seat ring 3 and connected to each water spray outlet, and the electric control circuit of the electric heating wire 6 is input along another pivot axis of the seat ring 3. Thus, it is ensured that the water flow can smoothly enter the waterway system of the flippable seat ring 3 and directly supply the water spray outlet of the first water spray assembly 4 for cleaning. In addition, the electric control circuit of the electric heating wire 6 is input along another pivot axis of the seat ring 3. The electric heating wire 6 is connected to the electric control circuit through the pivot axis to provide a heating function for the seat ring 3 when necessary. The input along the pivot axis allows the water flow and the electric control circuit to maintain a stable and reliable connection when the seat ring 3 is flipped and moved, and the water flow or power supply will not be interrupted due to the flipping action, thereby ensuring the continuity and stability of the cleaning and heating functions of the smart toilet.

[0071] like Figures 4 to 6As mentioned above, in this embodiment, the second water spray assembly 5 is configured as a plurality of regularly arranged water spray ports arranged around the periphery of the bottom surface of the toilet cover 2. After the toilet cover 2 is flipped to the closed state, each of the water spray ports is arranged directly above the seat ring 3. When the toilet cover 2 is flipped to the closed state, the positions of the water spray ports are just aligned with the upper end surface of the seat ring 3, which can effectively cover the entire area during cleaning, so that the water can be evenly sprayed onto the seat ring 3, ensuring comprehensive cleaning of the area.

[0072] Specifically, the toilet cover 2 is provided with an upper cover plate 7 and a lower cover plate 8, and another outer ring water channel for accommodating the second water spray assembly 5 is formed between the two cover plates, as well as an inner ring circuit for accommodating a sterilizing lamp 9 to irradiate the end face of the seat ring 3. Preferably, the sterilizing lamp 9 is an ultraviolet sterilizing lamp. In order to achieve efficient cleaning and sterilizing functions, when the toilet cover 2 is closed, the water spray port of the second water spray assembly 5 can be accurately aligned with the end face of the seat ring 3 for cleaning, and at the same time, the bacteria and viruses on the contact surface between the end face of the seat ring 3 and the toilet cover 2 are killed by ultraviolet irradiation, which effectively reduces the risk of germ transmission and improves the hygiene level of the toilet environment.

[0073] Among them, along the same pivot axis of the toilet lid 2, water flows are respectively input to the outer ring water channel to connect to each water spray port and input the electric control circuit of the sterilizing lamp 9. On the one hand, when the toilet lid 2 is closed, the water flows into the outer ring water channel through the pivot axis, thereby driving the second water spray assembly 5 to clean the end surface of the seat ring 3. On the other hand, the water flow and the power circuit can be input through the same pivot axis, ensuring the transmission stability and continuity of the water flow and the electric control circuit. Especially during the flipping process of the toilet lid 2, the connection between the water flow and the power system will not be interrupted, ensuring the continuous and effective operation of the cleaning and sterilization functions, while avoiding the safety hazards caused by the crossover of water and electricity.

[0074] like Fig.10 In this embodiment, the smart toilet further includes a controller 10. The controller 10 is disposed in the toilet body 1 and is used to electrically connect and control each water spray component and the electric control circuit. Obviously, the controller 10 is used to connect the circuit to the solenoid valve of each water spray component, as well as the heating switch of the heating wire 6 and the switch of the sterilization lamp 9 in the electric control circuit, so as to control the opening and closing of the switch. Preferably, the water circuits of the first water spray component 4 and the second water spray component 5 are respectively arranged in parallel, so that they can be individually controlled to achieve their respective cleaning work.

[0075] In one embodiment, the controller 10 performs cleaning and sterilization operations under the control of a preset automatic program, a user's manual operation, a remote control, or a voice command. Therefore, after using the toilet and the toilet lid 2 is closed, spray cleaning, sterilization, etc. can be performed manually or automatically.

[0076] In another embodiment, the smart toilet further includes a sensor 11, and the sensor 11 is connected to the controller 10 in a circuit. The sensor 11 is arranged on the seat ring 3, and is used to trigger the controller 10 to automatically perform cleaning and sterilization work after detecting that the user has finished using the toilet. The sensor 11 is used to monitor whether the user has finished using the toilet, and after the toilet lid 2 is closed, the controller 10 actively controls the water spray component to turn on and the sterilization lamp 9 to turn on within a preset time (such as 30 seconds).

[0077] like Figure 5 and Fig. 9 As described, in this embodiment, the bottom surface of the seat ring 3 is provided with a plurality of support pads 12, and the support pads 12 are used to abut against the toilet body 1 after the seat ring 3 is flipped to the covering state, so as to form a gap space between the seat ring 3 and the toilet body 1. Therefore, after the seat ring 3 is flipped to the covering state, the support pads 12 can contact the upper edge of the toilet body 1, so as to form a certain gap space between the seat ring 3 and the toilet body 1, which can not only avoid the accumulation of stains that may be caused by the direct contact between the seat ring 3 and the toilet body 1, but also enhance the stability of the seat ring 3 when flipping, avoid damage or uneven friction caused by excessive flipping of the seat ring 3, and also avoid the problem of difficult cleaning of stains that may be caused by close contact.

[0078] The above are only preferred implementations of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions under the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
