Description

Technical Field

[0001] This article relates to smart bathroom technology, and more particularly to a water outlet control method, device, electronic device, and smart toilet for a smart toilet. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the microbubble water technology used in smart toilets is mainly used to clean dirt adhering to the human body and the inner ceramic wall of the toilet. Generally speaking, the ultra-fine bubble generator can be divided into two types based on its position in the overall water circuit: before the instant heating component enters the water and after the instant heating component enters the water. The instant hot water tank mainly undertakes the function of heating and providing hot water for washing.

[0003] The ultra-fine bubble generator is located before the heating water tank: the water used for human body washing needs to be heated, so the ultra-fine bubble water generated by the ultra-fine bubble generator needs to be heated by the heating chamber of the heating component, and then flows through the water path in the electronic cover to finally reach the rinsing component. There are two options: water flowing out of the heating water tank or water directly connected to the brush ring component by the ultra-fine bubble water generator. Summary of the Invention

[0004] One of the purposes of this application is to provide a method, device, electronic device, and smart toilet that controls the output of ultra-fine bubble water for both human body cleaning and pot surface cleaning.

[0005] In achieving the above objectives, the applicant discovered that: to improve the experience and effectiveness of human body cleaning, smart toilets use heating components to heat the water in the heating tank, allowing users to use warm water for body cleaning and improving the user experience; however, when using the brush ring with ultra-fine bubble water to clean the toilet bowl, the cleaning bowl does not require water temperature, and using the heating component to heat the water will generate unnecessary power consumption and reduce the working time of the heating component.

[0006] The applicant first discovered the cause of the aforementioned defects. Based on this, and in order to improve the aforementioned defects and achieve the purpose of this invention, the applicant adopts the following technical solution to solve the problem: A method for controlling the water flow of a smart toilet, comprising: Determine the type of the received water outlet control command, including wall cleaning commands and human body cleaning commands; When the water outlet control command is a wall cleaning command, the heating component is controlled to be in the off state so that the ultra-micro bubble water generator can generate the first ultra-micro bubbles in the unheated water to obtain the first ultra-micro bubble water. The generated first ultrafine bubble water is mixed with the water in the brush ring to obtain toilet bowl cleaning water containing the first ultrafine bubbles, which is output to the brush ring assembly.

[0007] On the other hand, embodiments of this application also provide a water outlet control device for a smart toilet, including: a determining unit, a control processing unit, and a mixing output unit; wherein, The determining unit is configured to: determine the type of the received water outlet control command, wherein the command type includes wall cleaning command and human body cleaning command; The control and processing unit is set to: when the water outlet control command is the wall cleaning command, the heating component is controlled to be in the off state, so that the ultra-micro bubble water generator uses unheated water to generate the first ultra-micro bubble water; The mixing output unit is configured to: open the second water channel connected to the brush ring assembly, input the generated first ultrafine bubble water into the second water channel to mix with the water in the brush ring, and obtain toilet bowl cleaning water containing the first ultrafine bubbles that is output to the brush ring assembly.

[0008] Furthermore, embodiments of this application also provide an electronic device, characterized in that the electronic device comprises: At least one processor; and A memory communicatively connected to the at least one processor; wherein, The memory stores a computer program that can be executed by the at least one processor, which enables the at least one processor to perform the above-described water control method for the smart toilet.

[0009] Furthermore, embodiments of this application also provide a smart toilet, characterized in that it includes: A human body washing component, installed on the toilet, is used to wash the private parts of the body; A heating element, installed on the toilet, is used to heat water into warm water and output it to the human body washing component; An ultra-fine bubble water generator is disposed between the heating water tank and the human body rinsing assembly, and is used to generate a second ultra-fine bubble in the warm water; A brush ring assembly is connected to a brush ring water source and downstream of the ultra-fine bubble water generator, used to mix the brush ring water from the brush ring water source with water containing the first ultra-fine bubble for brushing the toilet bowl surface. The control module is electrically connected to the heating component and configured to control the heating component not to heat the water and to supply water to the ultrafine bubble water generator when a wall cleaning command is received, so that the unheated water contains the first ultrafine bubbles and the first ultrafine bubble water is obtained.

[0010] In another aspect, embodiments of this application also provide a computer storage medium storing a computer program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the above-described water discharge control method.

[0011] This embodiment of the invention addresses different uses of water dispensing from the smart toilet. When the water dispensing control command is for wall cleaning, the heating component is turned off. This prevents the surface tension of the liquid from decreasing due to the heating component's temperature rise, making the bubbles more prone to breakage. This improves the quality of the ultrafine bubbles generated by the ultrafine bubble generator when using the brush ring function. Turning off the heating component reduces unnecessary operation of the heating component, lowers the power consumption of the smart toilet, and provides room-temperature toilet bowl cleaning water containing the first ultrafine bubbles, thus extending the lifespan of both the heating component and the ultrafine bubble generator.

[0018] Water used for cleaning the ceramic inner wall of toilets does not require a heating function. When the water is heated, the higher the temperature, the faster the microbubbles break down, which reduces the quality of microbubble generation. The water outlet control method in related technologies affects the running time of the heating component and the quality of microbubbles generated by the microbubble generator when using the brush ring function.

[0019] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the water outlet control method for a smart toilet according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes: Step 101: Determine the type of the received water outlet control command, where the command type includes wall cleaning command and human body cleaning command; Step 102: When the water outlet control command is the wall cleaning command, the heating component is controlled to be in the off state so that the ultra-micro bubble water generator can generate the first ultra-micro bubbles in the unheated water to obtain the first ultra-micro bubble water. Step 103: Mix the generated first ultrafine bubble water with the brush ring water to obtain toilet bowl cleaning water containing the first ultrafine bubbles that is output to the brush ring assembly.

[0020] This embodiment of the invention addresses different uses of water dispensing from the smart toilet. When the water dispensing control command is for wall cleaning, the heating component is turned off. This prevents the surface tension of the liquid from decreasing due to the heating component's temperature rise, making the bubbles more prone to breakage. This improves the quality of the ultrafine bubbles generated by the ultrafine bubble generator when using the brush ring function. Turning off the heating component reduces unnecessary operation of the heating component, lowers the power consumption of the smart toilet, and provides room-temperature toilet bowl cleaning water containing the first ultrafine bubbles, thus extending the lifespan of both the heating component and the ultrafine bubble generator.

[0021] In one exemplary embodiment, when this disclosure receives a wall cleaning instruction, it can select whether to generate diluted foam liquid in the brush ring water using an additional foam shield component and inject it into the brush ring water, based on cleaning needs. To differentiate between the different treatments described above, the wall cleaning instruction in this disclosure can include: a standard brush ring instruction for cleaning the toilet bowl using toilet bowl cleaning water containing first ultra-fine bubbles, and a self-cleaning instruction for cleaning the toilet bowl using brush ring water containing a mixture of first ultra-fine bubble water, diluted foam liquid, and brush ring water. The brush ring treatment executed according to the standard brush ring instruction is generally suitable for scenarios with general cleaning requirements, such as urination, while the brush ring treatment executed according to the standard brush ring instruction can be applied to scenarios with higher cleaning requirements, such as defecation. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the water circuit structure of the smart toilet according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown below. Figure 2As shown, it includes: a water inlet solenoid valve 1, a built-in filter 2, a heating component 3, a UV water sterilization component 4, an instant heating component pump 5, an anti-siphon component 6, an ultra-fine bubble generator 7, a distribution valve 8, a human body washing component 9, a foam shield component 10, a brush ring component 11 (also known as a toilet component 11), and a main control board component 12 responsible for signal transmission and operation control; external water enters the instant hot water tank of the heating component 3 through the water inlet solenoid valve 1 and the built-in filter 2. The water in the instant hot water tank is divided into two paths according to its purpose. The first path supplies the foam shield component 10, and the water pump of the foam shield component generates diluted foam liquid which enters the brush ring component 11 to produce a brush ring foaming effect; The second water path, after passing through the instant heating component pump 5, anti-siphon component 6, ultra-fine bubble generator 7, and distribution valve 8, is further divided into the human body washing component 9 and the brush ring component 11. Therefore, the diluted foam liquid generated by the foam shield component 10 and the ultra-fine bubble water generated by the heating component 3 and the ultra-fine bubble generator 7 can both reach the brush ring component 11. The brush ring component 11 into which the diluted foam liquid and ultra-fine bubble water are connected is a brush ring connector (with a foaming structure for outputting water to clean the inner wall of the toilet). The diluted foam liquid can also be directed to any node in the water path before the brush ring connector, and the ultra-fine bubble water can also be directed to any water path in the brush ring component 11 or the washing component 9. When the water control command in this embodiment is a wall cleaning command, the heating component 3 is turned off. The unheated water passes through the microbubble water generator 7, and the physical structure of the microbubble water generator 7 generates the first microbubble, thus obtaining the first microbubble water. The generated first microbubble water is injected into the brush ring water and mixed with the brush ring water (which may contain diluted foam liquid or may not contain diluted foam liquid) to obtain water containing the first microbubble that is output to the brush ring component 11. The toilet bowl cleaning water can be output through the brush ring connector with a foaming structure to achieve toilet bowl cleaning.

[0022] In one exemplary instance, the effluent control method of this disclosure further includes: When the water outlet control command is a human body washing command, the heating component is controlled to heat the water input to the human body washing component according to the preset water temperature level, so that the ultra-micro bubble water generator generates a second ultra-micro bubble in the obtained warm water, thereby obtaining human body cleaning water containing the second ultra-micro bubble for washing the human private parts.

[0023] In this embodiment, when the water outlet control command is a human body washing command, the heating component is controlled to operate normally. When the water output from the heated water tank passes through the microbubble water generator, the microbubble water generator generates a second microbubble in the obtained warm water, thus realizing the normal generation of human body cleaning water containing the second microbubble for washing human private parts, ensuring the user experience of the smart toilet.

[0024] In this embodiment of the invention, when a user inputs a wall cleaning command via a touch panel or buttons while using the smart toilet, the heating component is turned off. At this time, room-temperature water passes through the microbubble water generator to produce first microbubbles, resulting in first microbubble water. This first microbubble water mixes with the water used for the brush ring, producing toilet bowl cleaning water containing the first microbubbles, which is then output to the brush ring assembly. The brush ring water may include diluted foam liquid generated by the foam shield assembly. Based on the above control logic, the heating component is not activated, improving the quality of the obtained microbubbles and providing better toilet bowl cleaning water. When the user needs to clean themselves while using the toilet, they input a body cleaning command via a touch panel or buttons. Based on the recognized body cleaning command, the heating water is heated to a preset temperature level and input to the body washing assembly. The microbubble water generator produces second microbubbles in the warm water, resulting in body cleaning water containing the second microbubbles for washing intimate areas, providing a better cleaning experience for intimate areas.

[0025] In one exemplary instance, after determining the type of the received water outlet control command, the water outlet control method of this disclosure embodiment further includes: When the heating component is in the off state, the first water path connecting the ultra-micro bubble water generator and the human body washing component is closed, and the second water path connecting the ultra-micro bubble water generator and the brush ring component is opened, so that the first ultra-micro bubbles are input into the second water path containing the brush ring water for mixing, and toilet bowl cleaning water is output to the brush ring component. When the water outlet control command is a human body cleaning command, the first water path connecting the ultra-microbubble water generator and the human body rinsing component is opened, and the second water path connecting the ultra-microbubble water generator and the brush ring component is closed, so that human body cleaning water containing the second ultra-microbubble is output through the first water path.

[0026] In this embodiment, a distribution valve is provided in the first water channel connected to the human body rinsing component and the second water channel connected to the brush ring component. By different water outlet control commands, the distribution valve is used to connect the first water channel or the second water channel. When the second water channel is opened, the first ultrafine bubbles are injected into the brush ring water through the opened second water channel. When the first water channel is opened, the second ultrafine bubbles are injected into the human body cleaning water through the opened first water channel.

[0027] In one exemplary instance, the water transmission distance between the ultrafine bubble generator and the water outlet of the heating chamber of the heating component in this embodiment of the present disclosure is d, where d is greater than a preset distance threshold. Among them, the distance threshold is ≥100mm.

[0028] If the water flow distance between the ultrafine bubble generator and the heating chamber of the heating component is too short, the water output distance from the heating chamber will be too short, resulting in fewer ultrafine bubbles generated and of poor quality. In order to improve the quality of ultrafine bubbles generated by the ultrafine bubble generator, this embodiment of the present disclosure, through experimental analysis, adjusts the water flow distance between the ultrafine bubble generator and the heating chamber of the heating component to be greater than or equal to 100 mm, thereby improving the generation quality of ultrafine bubbles and further improving the user's body cleaning quality.

[0029] In one exemplary instance, the water outlet control command is a wall cleaning command. The water outlet control method of this disclosure embodiment further includes: When a control command to turn on the heating component is received, the heating component is controlled to heat the water input to the brush ring component with the corresponding heating power according to the preset water temperature level, so that the ultra-micro bubble water generator generates the third ultra-micro bubbles in the warm water output to the brush ring component, thereby obtaining the third ultra-micro bubble water. The generated third ultra-fine bubble water is input into the second water channel and mixed with the water in the brush ring to obtain toilet bowl cleaning water containing the third ultra-fine bubble water, which is output to the brush ring assembly.

[0030] This embodiment of the invention addresses the need for water containing ultra-fine bubbles for both human body cleaning and pot surface cleaning. Therefore, upon receiving a water outlet control command, regardless of whether the command is for wall cleaning or human body cleaning, the water output from the heating tank passes through an ultra-fine bubble generator, which generates ultra-fine bubbles within the water. Furthermore, when the user confirms the need for warm water for brushing the toilet seat, the heating element can be activated to provide heated water for cleaning the toilet and pot surface, improving the cleaning quality and user experience in scenarios requiring enhanced brush seat cleaning.

[0031] Figure 3 This is a structural block diagram of the water outlet control device of the smart toilet according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, it includes: a determination unit, a control processing unit, and a mixed output unit; wherein, The determining unit is configured to: determine the type of the received water outlet control command, wherein the command type includes wall cleaning command and human body cleaning command; The control and processing unit is set to: when the water outlet control command is the wall cleaning command, the heating component is controlled to be in the off state, so that the ultra-micro bubble water generator uses unheated water to generate the first ultra-micro bubble water; The mixing output unit is configured to: open the second water channel connecting the ultra-microbubble water generator and the brush ring assembly, input the generated first ultra-microbubble water into the second water channel and mix it with the water in the brush ring to obtain toilet bowl cleaning water containing the first ultra-microbubbles that is output to the brush ring assembly.

[0032] The water outlet control device in this embodiment can be integrated into... Figure 2 The smart toilet consists of a main control board assembly (or a newly added electronic device or control module; the electronic device can be seen as a circuit board replacing the main control board assembly, and the control module can be seen as a module replacing the main control board assembly or updating its functions) containing software running programs and electrically connected components such as heating elements, microbubble generators, distribution valves, body washing components, and brush ring assemblies. The determining unit and control processing unit can be integrated into the main control board assembly (or electronic device or control module). The loaded software running program performs the following processing: determining the instruction type; and processing the instruction according to the determined instructions. The system outputs a switching command to turn the heating component on and off; based on the type of the water outlet control command, it outputs a command to open the distribution valve connected to the output port of the brush ring component or the output port of the human body rinsing component, so as to control the distribution valve to open the water path corresponding to the determined command type, so that the ultra-fine bubbles generated by the ultra-fine bubble water generator can be injected into the opened water path, realizing the mixing of the first ultra-fine bubble water generated by the mixing output unit with the water used in the brush ring; based on the command type, it outputs a command to open the brush ring component or the human body rinsing component, so as to control the brush ring component or the human body rinsing component to perform the corresponding cleaning treatment after it is opened.

[0033] In this embodiment, when the water outlet control command is a human body washing command, the heating component is controlled to operate normally. The warm water in the heated water tank passes through the ultra-microbubble water generator, which generates a second ultra-microbubble in the warm water. This ensures the normal generation of human body cleaning water containing the second ultra-microbubble for washing intimate parts of the body, thus ensuring the user experience of the smart toilet.

[0034] The determining unit and the control processing unit in this embodiment can be integrated into the main control board assembly of the smart toilet, or electrically connected to the main control board assembly. According to the received water outlet control command, the heating assembly, distribution valve, brush ring assembly and human body washing assembly are controlled to realize functions such as brush ring and human body washing.

[0035] In one exemplary embodiment, the control processing unit of this disclosure is further configured to: when the water outlet control command is a human body washing command, control the heating component to heat the water input to the human body washing component with the corresponding heating power according to the preset water temperature level, so as to obtain warm water for washing the human body's private parts; the ultra-micro bubble water generator generates a second ultra-micro bubble in the obtained warm water to obtain human body cleaning water containing the second ultra-micro bubble for washing the human body's private parts; the second ultra-micro bubble water containing the second ultra-micro bubble is input into the human body cleaning component, and the user can wash the human body's private parts with the human body cleaning water containing the second ultra-micro bubble, thus ensuring the user experience of the smart toilet.

[0036] In one exemplary instance, the control processing unit of this disclosure embodiment is further configured as follows: When the heating component is in the off state, the first water path connecting the ultra-micro bubble water generator and the human body washing component is closed, and the second water path connecting the ultra-micro bubble water generator and the brush ring component is opened, so that the first ultra-micro bubbles are input into the second water path containing the brush ring water through the mixing output unit for mixing, and toilet bowl cleaning water is output to the brush ring component. When the water outlet control command is a human body cleaning command, the first water channel connecting the ultra-microbubble water generator and the human body rinsing component is opened, and the second water channel connecting the ultra-microbubble water generator and the brush ring component is closed, so that the second ultra-microbubble is input into the first water channel, and human body cleaning water containing the second ultra-microbubble is output through the first water channel.

[0037] In this embodiment, a distribution valve is provided in the first water channel connected to the human body rinsing component and the second water channel connected to the brush ring component. By different water outlet control commands, the distribution valve is used to connect the first water channel or the second water channel. When the second water channel is opened, the first ultrafine bubbles are injected into the brush ring water through the opened second water channel. When the first water channel is opened, the second ultrafine bubbles are injected into the human body cleaning water through the opened first water channel.

[0038] In one exemplary instance, the water transmission distance between the ultrafine bubble generator and the water outlet of the heating chamber of the heating component in this embodiment of the present disclosure is d, where d is greater than a preset distance threshold. Wherein, the distance threshold is ≥100mm.

[0039] If the water flow distance between the ultrafine bubble generator and the heating chamber of the heating component is too short, the water output distance from the heating chamber will be too short, resulting in fewer ultrafine bubbles generated and of poor quality. In order to improve the quality of ultrafine bubbles generated by the ultrafine bubble generator, this embodiment of the present disclosure, through experimental analysis, adjusts the water flow distance between the ultrafine bubble generator and the heating chamber of the heating component to be greater than or equal to 100 mm, thereby improving the generation quality of ultrafine bubbles and further improving the user's body cleaning quality.

[0040] In one exemplary instance, the control processing unit of this disclosure embodiment is further configured as follows: The water outlet control command is a wall cleaning command, but when a control command to turn on the heating component is received, the heating component is turned on so that the heating component heats the water input to the brush ring component according to the preset water temperature level and the corresponding heating power, so as to obtain warm water output to the brush ring component. The ultra-microbubble water generator produces a third ultra-microbubble in the warm water output to the brush ring assembly, thus obtaining the third ultra-microbubble water. The generated third ultra-microbubble water is then input into the second water path and mixed with the water in the brush ring to obtain toilet bowl cleaning water containing the third ultra-microbubble water that is output to the brush ring assembly.

[0041] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, when the user confirms that warm water is needed for brushing the toilet seat to improve the cleaning of the toilet bowl, the control processing unit sends a command to the heating component to turn on the heating component. The heating component continuously heats the water output to the brush seat component and mixes it with the water used for brushing the toilet bowl to obtain heated water for cleaning the toilet bowl. In scenarios where the cleaning effect of the brush seat needs to be enhanced, the cleaning quality of the brush seat and the user experience are improved.

[0042] This disclosure also provides an electronic device, which includes: At least one processor; and A memory that is communicatively connected to at least one processor; wherein, The memory stores a computer program that can be executed by at least one processor, which enables the at least one processor to perform the water control method of the smart toilet described above.

[0043] The electronic device in this embodiment can be a device that upgrades the main control board assembly of the smart toilet, or replaces the components of the main control board assembly of the smart toilet, or is an electronic device that is electrically connected to an existing main control board assembly. The electronic device establishes a communication connection with the following components of the smart toilet through the main control board assembly or directly: heating assembly, distribution valve, brush ring assembly and human body washing assembly. The electronic device receives water outlet control commands and, according to different water outlet control commands, controls the operation of the heating assembly, distribution valve, brush ring assembly and human body washing assembly according to the water outlet control method. For example, when the water outlet control command is a wall cleaning command, the electronic device outputs a control command to turn off the heating component, turning off the heating component. The electronic device controls the instant heating component's pump to draw water from the instant hot water tank. The microbubble water generator generates the first microbubble in the unheated water, obtaining the first microbubble water. The distribution valve receives the switch command from the electronic device and opens the water path connecting to the brush ring component. The generated first microbubble water mixes with the brush ring water (which may or may not contain diluted foam liquid), obtaining water containing the first microbubble that is output to the brush ring component. After the electronic device controls the brush ring component to open, the toilet bowl cleaning water is output through the brush ring connector with a foaming structure, realizing the cleaning of the toilet bowl.

[0044] Figure 4 This is a structural block diagram of a smart toilet according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, it includes: Human body washing component 9, installed on the toilet for washing the private parts of the human body; Heating component 3, installed on the toilet, is used to heat water into warm water and output it to the human body washing component 9; The ultra-fine bubble water generator 7 is located between the heating water tank and the human body washing component 9, and is used to generate a second ultra-fine bubble in warm water; The brush ring assembly 11 is connected to the brush ring water source and the ultra-fine bubble water generator 7, and is used to mix the brush ring water from the brush ring water source with water containing the first ultra-fine bubble for use as a brush ring for the toilet bowl surface. The control module 13 is electrically connected to the heating component 3 and is configured to control the heating component not to heat the water and supply water to the ultrafine bubble water generator 7 when a wall cleaning command is received, so that the unheated water contains the first ultrafine bubbles and the first ultrafine bubble water is obtained.

[0045] In this embodiment of the smart toilet, the instant heating component pump, the anti-siphon component, the ultra-fine bubble generator, the distribution valve, and the human body washing component are connected to form a water circuit. The instant heating component pump draws water heated by the heating component from the instant hot water tank. The heated water then passes through the anti-siphon component. The ultra-fine bubble generator produces ultra-fine bubbles in the warm water passing through the anti-siphon component, obtaining ultra-fine bubble water. The ultra-fine bubble water passes through the human body washing component, which is connected by the distribution valve. The human body washing component outputs human body cleaning water to achieve the washing of the human body's private parts.

[0046] The ultra-fine bubble water generator is located between the heating water tank and the human body washing component. When water containing ultra-fine bubbles is needed for brush ring or human body cleaning, the instant heating component's pump draws heated or unheated water from the instant hot water tank and transmits it to the brush ring component or human body cleaning component. In the formed water path, the ultra-fine bubble water generator generates ultra-fine bubbles in the water drawn and output by the instant heating component's pump from the instant hot water tank. According to the currently received water outlet control command, the generated water containing ultra-fine bubbles is guided to the corresponding water path through the distribution valve.

[0047] The brush ring assembly may include: an input end for connecting municipal water or pumped water and an input end for connecting the output end of the foam shield assembly. Depending on whether ultrafine bubble water is used for brush ring application, an input end connected to the output end of the ultrafine bubble generator may also be designed. The brush ring assembly can be mixed with municipal water or pumped water, diluted foam liquid generated by the foam shield assembly, and first ultrafine bubble water generated by the ultrafine bubble generator. The mixed water is then output through a brush ring connector with a foaming structure for brush ring treatment.

[0048] The control module can be a microprocessor, a main control board assembly, or other circuit board with certain logic processing functions. The control module loads a pre-edited software program and connects to the heating assembly, distribution valve, brush ring assembly, and human body washing assembly, etc., to control the operation of the heating assembly, distribution valve, brush ring assembly, and human body washing assembly based on the water outlet control command and the software program. In this embodiment, when the water outlet control command is a human body washing command, the heating assembly is controlled to operate normally, and the ultra-microbubble water generator produces a second ultra-microbubble in the warm water output from the heating tank. This ensures the normal generation of human body cleaning water containing the second ultra-microbubble for washing intimate parts of the body, guaranteeing the user experience of the smart toilet.

[0049] In one exemplary instance, the control module of this disclosure embodiment is further configured as follows: When a wall cleaning command is received, the heating component is controlled not to heat the water and to supply water to the ultra-fine bubble water generator. The first water path between the ultra-fine bubble water generator and the human body washing component is closed, and the second water path between the ultra-fine bubble water generator and the brush ring component is opened. The first ultra-fine bubbles are input into the second water path containing the brush ring water and mixed with the brush ring water to obtain toilet bowl cleaning water output to the brush ring component. When the water outlet control command is a human body cleaning command, the first water channel connecting the ultra-microbubble water generator and the human body rinsing component is opened, and the second water channel connecting the ultra-microbubble water generator and the brush ring component is closed, so that the second ultra-microbubble is input into the first water channel, and human body cleaning water containing the second ultra-microbubble is output through the first water channel.

[0050] In one exemplary instance, the water transmission distance between the ultrafine bubble generator and the water outlet of the heating chamber of the heating component in this embodiment of the present disclosure is d, where d is greater than a preset distance threshold. Among them, the distance threshold is ≥100mm.

[0051] If the water flow distance between the ultrafine bubble generator and the heating chamber of the heating component is too short, the water output distance from the heating chamber will be too short, resulting in fewer ultrafine bubbles generated and of poor quality. In order to improve the quality of ultrafine bubbles generated by the ultrafine bubble generator, this embodiment of the present disclosure, through experimental analysis, adjusts the water flow distance between the ultrafine bubble generator and the heating chamber of the heating component to be greater than or equal to 100 mm, thereby improving the generation quality of ultrafine bubbles and further improving the user's body cleaning quality.

[0052] In one exemplary instance, the control module of this disclosure embodiment is further configured such that: the water outlet control command is a wall cleaning command, and when a control command to turn on the heating component is received, the heating component is controlled to be in the on state; The heating component is also configured to heat the water input to the brush ring component using the corresponding heating power according to the preset water temperature level, so as to obtain warm water output to the brush ring component; The ultra-micro bubble water generator is also configured to generate a third ultra-micro bubble in the warm water output to the brush ring assembly to obtain the third ultra-micro bubble water. The brush ring assembly is also configured to mix the generated third ultra-fine bubble water with the brush ring water to obtain toilet bowl cleaning water containing the third ultra-fine bubble water that is output to the brush ring assembly.

[0053] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, when the user confirms that warm water is needed for brushing the toilet seat to improve the cleaning of the toilet bowl, the control processing unit sends a command to the heating component to turn on the heating component. The heating component continuously heats the water output to the brush seat component and mixes it with the water used for brushing the toilet bowl to obtain heated water for cleaning the toilet bowl. In scenarios where the cleaning effect of the brush seat needs to be enhanced, the cleaning quality of the brush seat and the user experience are improved.

[0054] This application also provides a computer storage medium storing a computer program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the above-described water discharge control method.
