Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of bathroom technology, specifically relating to a fixed structure and a smart toilet. Background Technology

[0002] Existing ceramic flushing smart toilets consist of a toilet body and a smart seat. The smart seat comprises a top cover, a seat ring, a body assembly, and a base. The body assembly houses various functional units, such as a flushing nozzle and a drying unit. The top cover and seat ring are pivotally connected to the body assembly, which is then mounted on the base, which in turn is mounted on the toilet body. To ensure the base is stably fixed to the toilet body, multiple sets of bolts are used for installation. These bolts are in direct contact with the toilet body, which can loosen over time, affecting the use of the smart seat. Furthermore, the base requires frequent bolt tightening during installation and removal, reducing efficiency. This overall installation method for the base is complex and cumbersome, requiring further improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a fixed structure and a smart toilet.

[0004] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A fixing structure for fixing a smart toilet seat to a toilet body, the smart toilet seat including a base, a positioning part, and a fixing bracket;

[0006] A positioning part is mounted on the toilet body and is movably connected to the rear end of the base;

[0007] A fixed bracket, mounted on the toilet body, has a fixed section extending downward into the toilet body, the fixed section restricting the front end of the base from rising upward; the base is provided with a rotatable limiting rod, the first end of the limiting rod extending downward to the outside of the base;

[0008] The first end of the limiting rod can rotate in the direction close to the fixed section until it abuts against the lower end of the fixed section, restricting the front end of the base from rising upwards, so that the base is fixed on the toilet body; or it can rotate in the direction away from the fixed section until it is disconnected from the fixed section, so that the front end of the base can rise upwards.

[0009] Furthermore, the second end of the limiting rod is provided with a reset component connected to the base. The reset component can drive the first end of the limiting rod to rotate and reset in a direction away from the fixed section, so that the base is relatively separated from the toilet body.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a locking member for locking the fixed bracket to the toilet body, wherein the toilet body is provided with a support edge for supporting the fixed bracket, and the positioning part is provided on the support edge opposite to the fixed bracket.

[0011] Furthermore, the locking component includes a locking sleeve, a locking bolt, a locking nut, and a limiting block. The locking sleeve is disposed below the support edge and opposite the fixed bracket. The locking bolt passes through the fixed bracket and the support edge in sequence and is fitted into the locking sleeve. The locking nut is disposed in the locking sleeve and cooperates with the locking bolt. The limiting block is swayably disposed in the locking sleeve. Rotating the locking bolt causes the locking nut to move upward in the locking sleeve, causing the vertically placed limiting block to swing to a horizontal position and further move upward until it abuts against the bottom of the support edge, thereby locking the fixed bracket onto the support edge.

[0012] Furthermore, the fixed bracket also includes two connecting sections and two extension sections that are respectively connected to the two connecting sections and extend downwards. The fixed section is disposed between the two extension sections, and the connecting section is fixed to the support edge by a locking member.

[0013] Furthermore, there are two positioning parts, which are opposite to the two connecting sections.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes two positioning frames, which are respectively disposed on the support edge opposite to the two connecting sections. The locking member fixes the connecting sections and the opposite positioning frames on the support edge, and the two positioning parts are respectively disposed on the two positioning frames.

[0015] Furthermore, the positioning part is provided with a limiting protrusion to prevent it from disengaging from the positioning groove, and the inner wall of the positioning groove is provided with a limiting step that cooperates with the limiting protrusion.

[0016] A smart toilet includes a toilet body and a smart seat, and also includes a fixing structure as described in any of the above, the fixing structure fixing the smart seat to the toilet body.

[0017] Furthermore, it also includes a lifting mechanism, which can lift the front end of the base upwards and detach it from the toilet body. The lifting mechanism includes a lifting block, a rotating block, and a drive assembly. The lifting block is mounted on a fixed bracket and has a fixed toothed segment inclinedly arranged on it, which is opposite to the rotating block. The rotating block is rotatably mounted on the base and has a movable toothed segment that meshes with the fixed toothed segment, so that the base rotates relative to the toilet body. The drive assembly is connected to and drives the rotating block to rotate.

[0018] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism also includes a constraint component comprising a constraint block disposed on the base and moving relative to the rotating block, and a constraint spring connected between the constraint block and the base. The outer side of the rotating block is provided with a limiting surface that abuts against the lower end of the constraint block, and the movable toothed segment is disposed on one side of the limiting surface.

[0019] Furthermore, a limiting groove is provided on the limiting surface for the lower end of the constraint block to be embedded. The inner wall of the limiting groove is provided with a guide surface to guide the limiting block to disengage from the limiting groove. After the front end of the base is raised to the position, the constraint block is embedded in the limiting groove. When the front end of the base rotates downward to reset, the lower end of the constraint block disengages from the limiting groove under the action of the guide surface, so that the constraint block can continue to rotate and drive the front end of the base to reset.

[0020] As can be seen from the above description of the present invention, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: the present application specifically defines the composition of the fixing structure, the rear end of the base is movably connected to the rear end of the toilet body through the positioning part, and the front end of the base is connected to the toilet body through the cooperation of the limiting rod and the fixing bracket. The overall fixing installation method is simple and convenient for users to disassemble and assemble. Moreover, when the limiting rod is disconnected from the fixing bracket, the front end of the base can also be lifted upward with the positioning part as the fulcrum, so that users can clean the dirt accumulated between the toilet body and the base.

[0037] The present invention will be further described below through specific embodiments.

[0038] Reference Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a smart toilet includes a toilet body 1, a smart seat 2, a fixing structure 3, and a lifting mechanism 4.

[0039] The smart toilet seat 2 includes a base 21 mounted on the toilet body 1, a body control component 22 mounted on the base 21, and a seat ring and a top cover that are sequentially flipped on the body control component 22. The body control component 22 is equipped with various functional units, such as a flushing nozzle and a drying unit. Specifically, the smart toilet seat 2 is a mature existing technology in the field of smart toilet technology, and its specific structure and working principle will not be further described here.

[0040] Reference Figures 3 to 7 As shown, the fixing structure 3 fixes the base 21 to the toilet body 1, including a fixing bracket 31, two positioning brackets 32 and two locking parts 33. The toilet body 1 is provided with a support edge 11 for supporting the fixing bracket 31.

[0041] The fixed bracket 31 includes two connecting sections 311 disposed opposite each other on the support edge 11, two downwardly extending extension sections 312 respectively connected to the two connecting sections 311, and a fixed section 313 connected between the two extension sections 312. A rotatable limiting rod 23 is provided in the base 21, and the first end of the limiting rod 23 extends downward to the outside of the base 21. When the base 21 is fixed, the first end of the limiting rod 23 can rotate in a direction close to the fixed section 313 until it abuts against the lower end of the fixed section 313, so that the base 21 is limited by the fixed bracket 31 and will not detach from the toilet body 1, thus being fixed to the toilet body 1. Specifically, in this application, the fixed bracket 31 is detachably connected to the toilet body 1. In other embodiments, the fixed bracket 31 may also be integrally formed with the toilet body 1.

[0042] The second end of the limiting rod 23 is provided with a reset member 24 connected to the base 21. The reset member 24 can drive the first end of the limiting rod 23 to rotate in a direction away from the fixed section 313, so that the base 21 is relatively separated from the toilet body 1. The reset member 24 can be a spring or a torsion spring. When the first end of the limiting rod 23 abuts against the lower end of the fixed section 313, the spring or torsion spring is in a compressed state, so that the limiting rod 23 has a reset force.

[0043] Two positioning brackets 32 are disposed opposite to each other on the support edge 11, wherein the two positioning brackets 32 are opposite to the two connecting sections 311, and the connecting sections 311 are supported on the opposite positioning brackets 32; the support edge 11 is provided with mounting grooves 12 for mounting the positioning brackets 32. For details, refer to... Figure 6 As shown, the positioning bracket 32 ​​has a positioning part 321 at its first end that connects to the base 21, and a support part 322 at its second end that connects to the opposite connecting section 311. The base 21 has a positioning groove 25 for the positioning part 321 to be inserted into. Through the cooperation of the positioning groove 25 and the positioning part 321, the rear end of the base 21 is pivotally connected to the rear end of the toilet body 1. Furthermore, the support part 322 has a support groove 323 for supporting the opposite connecting section 311. The positioning bracket 32 ​​also has one or more connecting holes 324 that connect to the support edge 11. When the positioning bracket 32 ​​is installed, the bolt assembly connects to the support edge 11 through the connecting holes 324 to achieve the installation of the positioning bracket 32. In this application, the positioning bracket 32 ​​is detachably connected to the toilet body 1. In other embodiments, only two positioning parts 321 opposite to the two connecting sections 311 may be provided on the toilet body 1, with the connecting sections 311 directly supported on the support edge 11.

[0044] In this application, the positioning part 321 is an elastic buckle formed on the positioning bracket 32, which enables a detachable connection between the base 21 and the toilet body 1; wherein, referring to Figure 7As shown, the positioning part 321 is provided with two opposing limiting protrusions 325, and the inner wall of the positioning groove 25 is provided with a limiting step 26 that cooperates with the limiting protrusions 325. The cooperation between the limiting protrusions 325 and the limiting step 26 prevents the positioning part 321 from disengaging from the positioning groove 25 during use, so that the front end of the base 21 can be stably lifted upward. Furthermore, the above connection method simplifies the connection between the base 21 and the toilet body 1. When disassembling the base 21, the first end of the control limiting rod 23 is disengaged from the fixed section 313, and the smart cover 2 is moved upward by force to disengage the positioning part 321 from the opposing positioning groove 25, thus completing the disassembly of the smart cover 2 without having to tighten the screws multiple times, making the operation simple.

[0045] Two locking components 33 respectively fix the two connecting sections 311 and the relative positioning bracket 32 ​​to the support edge 11. Specifically, the locking component 33 includes a locking sleeve 331, a locking bolt 332, a locking nut 333, and a limiting block 334. The locking sleeve 331 is located at the bottom of the support part 322, and the support edge 11 is provided with a clearance hole 13 for the upper end of the locking sleeve 331 to pass through. The locking bolt 332 passes through the connecting section 311 and the support part 322 in sequence and is fitted into the locking sleeve 331. The locking nut 333 is located in the locking sleeve 331 and is threadedly engaged with the locking bolt 332. The limiting block 334 is swayably located in the locking sleeve 331. (Refer to...) Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, when the fixed bracket 31 and the positioning bracket 32 ​​are fixed, rotating the locking bolt 332 causes the locking nut 333 to move upward in the locking sleeve 331, which drives the vertically placed limiting block 334 to swing to a horizontal position and further move upward to abut against the bottom of the support edge 11, so that the fixed bracket 31 is locked on the support edge 11. Furthermore, the limiting block 334 is provided with limiting protrusions 335 to prevent the limiting block 334 from disengaging from the locking sleeve 331; the locking sleeve 331 has a certain elasticity, and its outer periphery is provided with multiple strip-shaped limiting grooves 336 at intervals. The end of the limiting block 334 can pass through two adjacent strip-shaped limiting grooves 336, so that the limiting protrusions 335 are limited in the relative strip-shaped limiting grooves 336, so that the limiting block 334 can be swung and installed in the locking sleeve 331.

[0046] Reference Figures 11 to 15As shown, the lifting mechanism 4 is disposed in the base 21, which can lift the front end of the base 21 upward and detach it from the toilet body 1. Specifically, the lifting mechanism 4 includes a lifting block 41, a lifting box 42, a rotating block 43, a drive assembly 44, and a constraint assembly 45. The lifting block 41 is disposed on the fixed section 313, and a fixed toothed section 411 opposite to the rotating block 43 is inclinedly disposed thereon. The rotating block 43 is rotatably disposed in the lifting box 42, and a movable toothed section 431 is disposed thereon that meshes with the fixed toothed section 411. The meshing of the fixed toothed section 411 and the movable toothed section 431 causes the base 21 to rotate upward or downward relative to the toilet body 1. The drive assembly 44 is disposed in the lifting box 42, connecting and driving the rotating block 43 to rotate. The constraint assembly 45 is disposed in the lifting box 42, limiting the position of the rotating block 43. The rotating block 43 is fan-shaped. The movable toothed segment 431 is arc-shaped and set on the outer arc-shaped surface of the rotating block 43. The limiting rod 23 is rotatably set in the lifting box 42, and its second end abuts against the side of the rotating block 43. When the front end of the base 21 is raised, the rotating block 43 rotates and drives the movable toothed segment 431 to engage with the fixed toothed segment 411. The second end of the limiting rod 23 moves with the rotating block 43 under the action of the reset member 24, so that the first end of the limiting rod 23 rotates away from the fixed segment 313 and enters the direction of disengagement from the fixed segment 313. When the front end of the base 21 rotates downward to reset, the rotating block 43 rotates in the opposite direction, so that the movable toothed segment 431 disengages from the fixed toothed segment 411. The second end of the limiting rod 23 rotates with the rotating block 43 under the action of the rotating block 43, so that the first end of the limiting rod 23 moves close to the fixed segment 313 and abuts against the lower end of the fixed segment 313, thus fixing the base 21.

[0047] The constraint assembly 45 includes a constraint block 451 mounted on the lifting box 42 and movable relative to the rotating block 43, and a constraint spring 452 connected between the constraint block 451 and the lifting box 42. The lifting box 42 has a guide groove 421 for mounting the constraint spring 452. The first end of the constraint spring 452 is connected to the inner wall of the guide groove 421, and the second end is connected to the constraint block 451. The outer side of the rotating block 43 has a limiting surface 432 that abuts against the lower end of the constraint block 451. Two movable toothed segments 431 are provided, with the two movable toothed segments 431 arranged opposite each other on both sides of the limiting surface 432. Specifically... The rotating block 43 is provided with a limiting groove 433 for the lower end of the constraint block 451 to be embedded. The limiting groove 433 is located at the end of the limiting surface 432, and the inner wall of the limiting groove 433 is inclined to provide a guide surface 434 for guiding the constraint block 451 to disengage from the limiting groove 433. After the front end of the base 21 is raised to the position, the constraint block 451 is embedded in the limiting groove 433 to limit the raised position of the base 21. When the front end of the base 21 rotates downward to reset, the lower end of the constraint block 451 disengages from the limiting groove 433 under the action of the guide surface 434, so that the rotating block 43 can continue to rotate in the opposite direction to drive the front end of the base 21 to reset.

[0048] This application specifically defines the composition of the fixing structure 3. The rear end of the base 21 is connected to the rear end of the toilet body 1 through the cooperation of the positioning part 321 and the positioning groove 25. The front end of the base 21 is connected to the toilet body 1 through the cooperation of the limiting rod 23 and the fixing bracket 31. The overall fixing and installation method is simple and convenient for users to disassemble and assemble. When the limiting rod 23 is disengaged from the fixing bracket 31, the front end of the base 21 can also be lifted upward with the positioning part 321 as the fulcrum, so that users can clean the dirt accumulated between the toilet body 1 and the base 21.

[0049] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the present invention and the contents of the specification should still fall within the scope of the present invention.
