Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of smart bathroom technology, and in particular to a flushing device and a smart toilet. Background Technology
[0002] As living standards improve, smart toilets are becoming increasingly popular due to their advantages such as comfort, hygiene, and water conservation.
[0003] To meet diverse cleaning needs, some traditional smart toilets offer multiple flushing modes, such as a mode that only cleans the toilet bowl's sidewalls, and a combined flushing mode that cleans both the sidewalls and the bottom simultaneously. The key to achieving these modes lies in the flushing mechanism's ability to reliably switch between different water paths.
[0004] However, traditional smart toilets typically use separate piping systems for flushing the toilet bowl's rim and bottom. While functional, this approach suffers from complex structures, large space requirements, and high costs.
[0005] The information disclosed above in the background art of this application is only used to understand the background of the concept of this application, and may contain information that does not constitute prior art. Summary of the Invention
[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a flushing device and a smart toilet to address the above problems.
[0007] This application provides a flushing device for a smart toilet, the flushing device comprising:
[0008] The valve body has a water inlet channel, a bottom flush channel, and a brush ring channel. The brush ring channel is connected to the water inlet channel, and a water outlet is formed between the water inlet channel and the bottom flush channel. A wire hole is opened on the pipe wall of the water inlet channel. The brush ring channel is used to deliver water to the side wall of the toilet bowl, and the bottom flush channel is used to deliver water to the bottom of the toilet bowl.
[0009] A rotating component has a hollow interior forming a driving cavity. One end of the rotating component is rotatably connected to the valve body, and the other end of the rotating component has a water inlet communicating with the driving cavity. The water inlet is used to supply water from the integrated water inlet valve into the driving cavity.
[0010] A cover plate, which is rotatably disposed within the water inlet channel and located above the water outlet;
[0011] A traction line is provided, which passes through the wire hole. One end of the traction line is connected to the cover plate, and the other end of the traction line is connected to the rotating component.
[0012] The flushing device has a first state, a second state, and a third state that operate in a sequential cycle.
[0013] In the first state, the water inlet of the rotating component is facing upward along the direction of gravity and the integrated water inlet valve is not filled with water into the drive cavity. The cover plate blocks the water outlet to prevent water in the water inlet channel from entering the bottom flushing channel and causes the water in the water inlet channel to flow to the brush ring channel.
[0014] In the second state, the water inlet of the rotating component faces upward along the direction of gravity and is used to draw the water flow of the integrated water inlet valve into the drive chamber. The rotating component can flip downward relative to the valve body under the gravity of the water in the drive chamber, and simultaneously pull the traction line to drive the cover plate to flip upward, so that the water outlet is exposed so that the water in the water inlet channel can enter the bottom flushing channel.
[0015] In the third state, the water inlet of the rotating component faces downward along the direction of gravity to discharge the water in the drive chamber, so that the cover plate can automatically flip downward under its own gravity and block the water outlet. The cover plate can also drive the rotating component to flip upward relative to the valve body by pulling the traction line until the water inlet faces upward along the direction of gravity.
[0016] The above-mentioned flushing device can achieve at least the following beneficial effects:
[0017] This flushing device features a valve body with a shared water inlet channel, a separate bottom flush channel, and a brush ring channel. A water outlet controlled by a rotatable cover is located between the water inlet and bottom flush channels. It also innovatively incorporates a hollow rotating component forming a drive chamber. This rotating component is mechanically linked to the cover via a traction line and has a water inlet for connecting to the integrated water inlet valve. Its core working principle is to use the water flow provided by the smart toilet's existing integrated water inlet valve as a power source. By injecting and draining water into the drive chamber of the rotating component, its center of gravity is changed, causing it to flip under gravity. This flipping motion is precisely transmitted through the traction line, translating into control of the lid's flipping motion within the water inlet channel. In the first state, the integrated water inlet valve does not inject water into the drive chamber, and the rotating component does not pull the cover to expose the water outlet. That is, the cover is in the state of blocking the water outlet, and all the water flow from the water inlet channel flows through the brush ring channel to flush the side wall of the toilet bowl. When the bottom flush needs to be activated, the integrated water inlet valve injects water into the drive chamber of the rotating component with the water inlet facing upward, entering the second state. The water in the drive chamber uses gravity to drive the rotating component to flip downward, and pulls the traction line to simultaneously drive the cover to flip upward and open the water outlet. At this time, the water flow from the water inlet channel is simultaneously diverted to the brush ring channel and the bottom flush channel to achieve combined flushing of the brush ring and the bottom spray. After flushing is completed, the integrated water inlet valve stops supplying water and enters the third state. The water in the drive chamber of the rotating component is discharged from the downward water inlet, the center of gravity of the rotating component returns to normal, and the cover automatically flips downward under its own gravity to re-seal the water outlet. The reverse pull of the traction line drives the rotating component to flip upward and reset to the initial position with the water inlet facing upward, preparing for the next working cycle. It is important to emphasize that both the water inlet channel and the water supply channel can be directly connected to the original integrated water inlet valve of the smart toilet. This integrated water inlet valve is originally used to supply water to the water tank or spray gun. Therefore, there is no need to add an additional solenoid valve, motor or other drive components for the flushing control function. It is only necessary to lead a branch water path from the integrated water inlet valve to the water inlet channel of the device. Thus, while realizing the intelligent and automatic sequential control of the two important flushing modes of brush ring and bottom flush, the overall system structure is simplified to the maximum extent, the number of parts is reduced, and the manufacturing cost is significantly reduced.
[0018] In some embodiments, the bottom flushing channel is axially aligned with the water inlet channel, and a stepped portion is formed at the junction of the bottom flushing channel and the water inlet channel. When the cover plate blocks the water outlet, it abuts against the stepped portion. By setting the bottom flushing channel and the water inlet channel to be axially aligned and forming a stepped portion at their junction, in the first state, the cover plate can directly abut against and seal against the stepped portion to block the water outlet, ensuring reliable sealing of the water outlet. At the same time, the end point of the cover plate's travel is clearly defined, and the stress state of the cover plate, the traction line, and the hinge shaft is more clearly and reasonably defined, thereby improving the structural reliability, sealing stability, and assembly processability of the entire flushing switching system.
[0019] In some embodiments, the cover plate is plate-shaped and its dimensions are larger than the dimensions of the water inlet. By limiting the cover plate to a plate shape and its dimensions to be larger than the dimensions of the water inlet, it is ensured that when the cover plate abuts against the step portion, its plate-shaped structure can completely cover and block the entire flow section of the water inlet. The bearing surface of the cover plate facing away from the water inlet bears the water pressure, thereby forming a stable and reliable sealing foundation. At the same time, it provides the necessary structural conditions and installation space for setting a sealing ring on the side of the cover plate facing the water inlet or for achieving a seal by utilizing the elastic deformation of the cover plate's own material.
[0020] In some embodiments, the valve body further includes a water passage cavity, which is connected to the water inlet channel through the wire hole. A drain hole is provided on the wall of the bottom flushing channel, and the water passage cavity is connected to the bottom flushing channel through the drain hole. A water injection hole is provided at the top of the water passage cavity. When the water injection port of the rotating component is facing upward along the direction of gravity, the water injection port is aligned with the water injection hole, and the water injection hole is used to communicate with the integrated water inlet valve. By incorporating water passage chambers located on the outer circumferences of the inlet channel and the bottom flushing channel within the valve body, and connecting these chambers to the inlet channel via a through-hole, while simultaneously creating a drain hole on the wall of the bottom flushing channel, allowing the water passage chamber to connect to the bottom flushing channel via the drain hole, this structure effectively collects and guides small amounts of water leaking from the through-hole into the water passage chamber. The water is then smoothly discharged into the bottom flushing channel via the drain hole, achieving orderly drainage and reuse of leaked water. This not only completely avoids the risks of corrosion, scaling, bacterial growth, or short circuits in electrical components that might result from the accumulation of leaked water in the water passage chamber, ensuring a dry and clean internal environment for the valve body, but also redirects potentially wasted leaked water back into the flushing water path of the bottom flushing channel, improving the system's water resource utilization efficiency. Furthermore, this integrated drainage structure simplifies the internal flow channel design of the valve body, eliminating the need for additional external drainage pipes and enhancing product reliability and sealing safety. Furthermore, when the water inlet of the rotating component faces upward along the direction of gravity, the water inlet is aligned with the water injection hole, allowing water from the integrated water inlet valve to be directly and accurately injected into the driving chamber of the rotating component through the water injection hole. Simultaneously, the water passage chamber, acting as a buffer and connecting space, not only provides the necessary space for the movement of the traction line, preventing direct interference with the water flow, but also, through the design of the drain hole, ensures that when water in the driving chamber of the rotating component needs to be discharged, it can flow into the water passage chamber through the water inlet and ultimately be smoothly discharged into the bottom flushing channel through the drain hole. This achieves reliable pipeline guidance for the introduction, utilization, and discharge of water provided by the integrated water inlet valve, avoiding water accumulation or turbulence within the valve body, ensuring the stability and repeatability of the rotating component's center of gravity changes and flipping actions, and thus ensuring precise control of the cover plate state switching and the entire flushing cycle.
[0021] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of the wire passage is smaller than that of the water inlet channel and the brush ring channel. This design ensures that the main water flow in the water inlet channel flows preferentially and with sufficient flow and pressure to the brush ring channel, thereby ensuring that the performance of the main flushing function is not affected; at the same time, it precisely limits the flow rate of leakage or drainage water entering the water passage cavity from the water inlet channel through the wire passage, which is sufficient to effectively discharge it through the drain hole, while avoiding excessive water flow entering the water passage cavity and causing erosion, pressure shock or interference to the traction line.
[0022] In some embodiments, a pressure relief hole is provided on the pipe wall of the water inlet channel near the water outlet. The water passage cavity can communicate with the water inlet channel through the pressure relief hole. The pressure relief hole is located between the through hole and the drain hole. When the cover plate blocks the water outlet, the side of the cover plate facing away from the water outlet is adjacent to the pressure relief hole. When the cover plate blocks the water outlet and the system controls the water inlet channel to stop water intake in a timely manner, since the side of the cover plate facing away from the water outlet is adjacent to the pressure relief hole, the static water pressure of the water accumulated in the water inlet channel above the cover plate will drive the water flow to actively flow into the water passage cavity through the pressure relief hole, and then be discharged through the drain hole. This process directly and quickly reduces the water pressure acting on the cover plate, effectively reducing the fluid resistance and torque that the cover plate needs to overcome to flip up and open. This makes it easier, faster, and more reliable for the rotating component to perform the pulling action through the traction line, thus optimizing the response performance and energy efficiency of the entire flushing switching system.
[0023] In some embodiments, the drive chamber includes a main chamber and a secondary chamber communicating with the main chamber, the secondary chamber being located on the side of the main chamber facing away from the wire passage. By constructing the drive chamber as including a main chamber and a secondary chamber communicating with it and located on the side facing away from the wire passage, this structure increases the overall volume of the drive chamber, thereby accommodating more drive water to provide a greater drive torque. Simultaneously, the secondary chamber allows for a more significant change in the center of gravity of the drive water when the rotating component flips, enhancing the driving force and stability of the rotating component's flipping action. Furthermore, the secondary chamber's location on the side of the main chamber facing away from the wire passage makes the center of gravity distribution of the drive chamber more conducive to tilting in a specific direction, optimizing the flipping response characteristics of the rotating component during water injection and drainage processes, ensuring reliable and rapid linkage of the traction line pulling the cover plate and accurate execution of the switching of various working states of the flushing device.
[0024] In some embodiments, one end of the cover plate is rotatably connected to the water inlet channel via a pivot, and the other end of the cover plate is connected to a fixed boss located on the side of the cover plate facing away from the water outlet. One end of the traction line is connected to the fixed boss. When the cover plate flips upward, the fixed boss is located between the cover plate and the inner circumferential surface of the water inlet channel and abuts against the inner circumferential surface of the water inlet channel, so that the extension direction of the cover plate is set at an acute angle to the direction of gravity. This allows the cover plate to automatically flip downward and block the water outlet under its own weight when the traction line is in a slack state. This structural design ensures that when the traction line is in a slack state, the cover plate's own weight relative to the pivot generates a torque that causes the cover plate to flip downward, thus giving it a tendency to automatically flip downward and ultimately block the water outlet. This design ensures that even when the traction line loses tension during brush ring rinsing and reset, the cover plate can reliably reset and seal the water inlet under gravity, enhancing the reliability and self-resetting capability of the device. It also simplifies the control logic, eliminating the need for additional reset springs or mechanisms.
[0025] In some embodiments, a counterweight is provided at the end of the cover plate away from the pivot. By providing a counterweight at this end, the mass of that end of the cover plate is increased, thereby increasing the torque at which the cover plate flips downwards around the pivot under gravity. This makes the tendency and action of the cover plate to automatically flip downwards and seal the water inlet more rapid, powerful, and reliable when the traction line is slack.
[0026] In some embodiments, the end of the rotating member away from the water inlet is rotatably connected to the water passage cavity via a fixed shaft.
[0027] In some embodiments, the flushing device further includes a brush ring nozzle and a bottom flush pipe. The brush ring nozzle communicates with the brush ring channel and is installed on the top of the toilet bowl. One end of the bottom flush pipe is connected to the bottom flush channel, and the other end is connected to the bottom of the toilet bowl. This application clarifies the final outlet positions and functions of the brush ring water path and the bottom flush water path by connecting the brush ring nozzle to the brush ring channel and installing it on the top of the toilet bowl, and connecting one end of the bottom flush pipe to the bottom flush channel and the other end to the bottom of the toilet bowl. The brush ring nozzle, located at the top of the toilet bowl, forms a flushing water flow around the inner wall of the toilet bowl, effectively cleaning the inner wall. The bottom flush pipe, connected to the bottom of the toilet bowl, forms a strong bottom water flow, achieving the sewage discharge function. This structural design achieves a clear division of labor and optimized layout of the flushing functions, ensuring the flushing effect. Furthermore, by directly connecting the nozzle and pipe to the channel within the valve body, a complete and efficient flushing water system is formed.
[0028] In some embodiments, the flushing device further includes a water tank, a water pump housed within the water tank, a water delivery pipe, and a connector. One end of the water delivery pipe is connected to the water pump, and the other end of the water delivery pipe is connected to the water inlet channel via the connector. This application provides a stable and controllable pressurized water source for the flushing device by setting up a water supply assembly including a water tank, a water pump, a water delivery pipe, and a connector. One end of the water delivery pipe is connected to the water pump, and the other end is connected to the water inlet channel via the connector. The water tank stores the flushing water, the water pump pressurizes the water in the tank, and then delivers it through the water delivery pipe. The connector ensures a reliable sealed connection between the water delivery pipe and the valve body's water inlet channel. This structural design allows the flushing device to operate independently of the municipal water supply network, making it suitable for situations with no tap water pressure or insufficient water pressure. Simultaneously, the stable water pressure provided by the water pump ensures the flushing force of the brush ring and the bottom flush, improving the flushing effect and user experience.
[0029] In some embodiments, the brush ring channel is connected to the outer circumference of the water inlet channel and is continuously in communication with the water inlet channel. By defining the connection of the brush ring channel to the outer circumference of the water inlet channel and its continuous communication with the water inlet channel, the spatial relationship and continuous hydraulic communication between the brush ring channel and the water inlet channel are clearly defined. This structure means that regardless of whether the cover plate is in a position blocking the water outlet or in a position away from the water outlet, the water flow from the water inlet channel can always flow to the brush ring nozzle through the brush ring channel, thereby realizing the continuous water supply function of the brush ring nozzle. This design limits the opening and closing function of the cover plate and the water outlet mainly to control the water flow to the bottom flushing channel, simplifies the internal flow channel design of the valve body, reduces manufacturing complexity, and ensures the independence and reliability of the brush ring function.
[0030] In some embodiments, when water begins to enter the water inlet channel, the flushing device first maintains the second state for a preset duration, and then switches to the third state. By limiting the flushing device to maintain the second state (i.e., flushing ring only) for a preset duration when water begins to enter the water inlet channel, and then switching to the third state (i.e., flushing ring and bottom flushing are performed simultaneously), a delayed bottom flushing function is achieved. The technical benefits of this function are: after the user uses the smart toilet, the initial flushing of the rim only effectively cleans the inner wall of the toilet, especially the rim area, pre-flushing the dirt attached to the inner wall to below the water surface at the bottom of the toilet bowl; after a preset delay (e.g., a few seconds), the system switches to the bottom flushing channel for powerful flushing, because the dirt flushed underwater is more easily swept away by the strong siphon flow generated by the bottom flushing channel, thereby avoiding dirt residue and improving the cleaning effect of a single flush.
[0031] In some embodiments, the traction line is either a chain or a steel wire.
[0032] This application also provides a smart toilet, which includes a toilet seat with a urinal, an integrated water inlet valve, and a flushing device as described in any of the above embodiments, wherein the flushing device is disposed on the toilet seat.
[0033] Since the aforementioned smart toilet includes the flushing device described in any of the above embodiments, the smart toilet also has at least the following beneficial effects: the smart toilet can use its original integrated water inlet valve as a power source, and through the linkage of the traction line, the rotating part and the cover in the flushing device, the flushing device can automatically switch between the brush ring and bottom flushing states without an additional drive device, thereby simplifying the overall structure of the smart toilet, reducing manufacturing costs, while ensuring the reliability and versatility of the flushing function and improving the user experience.

[0045] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be practiced in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0046] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6In some embodiments, this application provides a flushing device for a smart toilet 10. The flushing device includes a valve body 100, a rotating component 200, a cover plate 300, and a traction cable 400. The valve body 100 has a water inlet channel 110, a bottom flushing channel 120, and a brush ring channel 130. The brush ring channel 130 communicates with the water inlet channel 110. A water outlet 140 is formed between the water inlet channel 110 and the bottom flushing channel 120. A cable hole 111 is formed on the wall of the water inlet channel 110. The brush ring channel 130 is used to deliver water to the side wall of the toilet bowl 21 of the toilet seat 20. The bottom flushing channel 120 is used to deliver water to the bottom of the toilet bowl 21. The rotating component 200 has a hollow interior forming a drive cavity 210. One end of the rotating component 200 is rotatably connected to the valve body 100, and the other end of the rotating component 200 is provided with a water inlet 220 communicating with the drive cavity 210. The water inlet 220 is used to supply water from the integrated water inlet valve 30 into the drive cavity 210. The cover plate 300 is rotatably disposed in the water inlet channel 110 and located above the water outlet 140. The traction line 400 passes through the wire hole 111, one end of the traction line 400 is connected to the cover plate 300, and the other end of the traction line 400 is connected to the rotating component 200.
[0047] The flushing device has a first state, a second state, and a third state that operate in a sequential cycle.
[0048] For reference Figure 2 As shown, in the first state, the water inlet 220 of the rotating member 200 is facing upward along the direction of gravity and the integrated water inlet valve 30 is not filled with water into the drive cavity 210. The cover plate 300 blocks the water outlet 140 to prevent the water in the water inlet channel 110 from entering the bottom flushing channel 120, and causes the water in the water inlet channel 110 to flow to the brush ring channel 130.
[0049] For reference Figure 3 As shown, in the second state, the water inlet 220 of the rotating member 200 faces upward along the direction of gravity and is used to guide the water flow of the integrated water inlet valve 30 into the drive chamber 210. The rotating member 200 can flip downward relative to the valve body 100 under the gravity of the water in the drive chamber 210, and simultaneously pull the traction line 400 to drive the cover plate 300 to flip upward, so that the water outlet 140 is exposed so that the water in the water inlet channel 110 can enter the bottom flushing channel 120.
[0050] For reference Figure 3 and Figure 2As shown, in the third state, the water inlet 220 of the rotating member 200 faces downward along the direction of gravity to discharge the water in the drive chamber 210, so that the cover plate 300 can automatically flip downward under its own gravity and block the water outlet 140. The cover plate 300 can also drive the rotating member 200 to flip upward relative to the valve body 100 by pulling the traction line 400 until the water inlet 220 faces upward along the direction of gravity.
[0051] The above-mentioned flushing device can achieve at least the following beneficial effects:
[0052] This flushing device designs the valve body 100 to have a shared water inlet channel 110, an independent bottom flush channel 120, and a brush ring channel 130. A water outlet 140, controlled by a rotatable cover plate 300, is located between the water inlet channel 110 and the bottom flush channel 120. It also innovatively introduces a rotating component 200 with a hollow interior forming a drive chamber 210. This rotating component 200 is mechanically linked to the cover plate 300 via a traction line 400 and has a water inlet 220 for connecting to the integrated water inlet valve 30. Its core working principle is to use the water flow provided by the integrated water inlet valve 30 of the smart toilet 10 as a power source. By injecting and draining water into the drive chamber 210 of the rotating component 200, the center of gravity of the rotating component 200 is changed, causing it to flip under gravity. This flipping motion is precisely transmitted through the traction line 400, converting it into control of the flipping of the cover plate 300 within the water inlet channel 110. (See reference...) Figure 2 As shown, in the first state, the integrated inlet valve 30 does not inject water into the drive chamber 210, and the rotating component 200 does not pull the cover 300 to expose the water outlet 140. That is, the cover 300 is in a state of blocking the water outlet 140, and all the water flow from the inlet channel 110 passes through the brush ring channel 130 to flush the side wall of the toilet bowl 21. (See reference...) Figure 3 As shown, when bottom flushing needs to be activated, the integrated water inlet valve 30 injects water into the drive chamber 210 of the rotating component 200 with the water inlet 220 facing upwards, entering the second state. The water in the drive chamber 210 uses gravity to drive the rotating component 200 to flip downwards, and simultaneously drives the cover plate 300 to flip upwards through the traction line 400, opening the water outlet 140. At this time, the water flow in the water inlet channel 110 is simultaneously diverted to the brush ring channel 130 and the bottom flushing channel 120, realizing the combined flushing of the brush ring and the bottom spray. (See reference...) Figure 3 and Figure 2As shown, after rinsing is completed, the integrated water inlet valve 30 stops supplying water and enters the third state. The water in the drive chamber 210 of the rotating component 200 is discharged from the downward-facing water inlet 220. The center of gravity of the rotating component 200 is restored. Under its own gravity, the cover plate 300 automatically flips downward to re-seal the water outlet 140. The rotating component 200 is driven to flip upward to reset to the initial posture with the water inlet 220 facing upward by the reverse pull of the traction line 400, thus preparing for the next working cycle. It should be emphasized that both the water inlet channel and the water supply channel can be directly connected to the original integrated water inlet valve 30 of the smart toilet 10. The integrated water inlet valve 30 is originally used to supply water to the water tank 530 or the spray gun. Therefore, there is no need to add an additional solenoid valve, motor or other drive components for the flushing control function. It is only necessary to lead a branch water path from the integrated water inlet valve 30 to the water inlet channel of the device. Thus, while realizing the intelligent and automatic sequential control of the two important flushing modes of brush ring and bottom flush, the overall system structure is simplified to the maximum extent, the number of parts is reduced, and the manufacturing cost is significantly reduced.
[0053] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the bottom flushing channel 120 is axially aligned with the water inlet channel 110, and a step portion 150 is formed at the junction of the bottom flushing channel 120 and the water inlet channel 110. When the cover plate 300 blocks the water outlet 140, it abuts against the step portion 150. By setting the bottom flushing channel 120 and the water inlet channel 110 to be axially aligned and forming a step portion 150 at their junction, in the first state, the cover plate 300 can directly abut against and seal the step portion 150 to block the water outlet 140, ensuring reliable sealing of the water outlet 140. At the same time, the end point of the travel of the cover plate 300 is clearly defined, making the stress state of the cover plate 300, the traction line 400, and the hinge shaft more clear and reasonable, thereby improving the structural reliability, sealing stability, and assembly processability of the entire flushing switching system.
[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the cover plate 300 is plate-shaped and its size is larger than that of the water outlet 140. By limiting the cover plate 300 to be plate-shaped and its size to be larger than that of the water outlet 140, it is ensured that when the cover plate 300 abuts against the step portion 150, its plate-shaped structure can completely cover and block the entire flow section of the water outlet 140. The bearing surface of the cover plate 300 facing away from the water outlet 140 bears the water pressure, thereby forming a stable and reliable sealing foundation. At the same time, it provides the necessary structural conditions and installation space for setting a sealing ring on the side of the cover plate 300 facing the water outlet 140 or for achieving a seal by utilizing the elastic deformation of the cover plate 300 itself.
[0055] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the valve body 100 further includes a water passage cavity 160, which is connected to the water inlet channel 110 through the wire hole 111. A drain hole 121 is provided on the pipe wall of the bottom flushing channel 120, and the water passage cavity 160 is connected to the bottom flushing channel 120 through the drain hole 121. A water injection hole 161 is provided at the top of the water passage cavity 160. When the water injection port 220 of the rotating member 200 is facing upward along the direction of gravity, the water injection port 220 is aligned with the water injection hole 161, and the water injection hole 161 is used to communicate with the integrated water inlet valve 30. By providing a water passage cavity 160 located on the outer periphery of the inlet channel 110 and the outer periphery of the bottom flushing channel 120 in the valve body 100, and connecting the water passage cavity 160 to the inlet channel 110 through a wire hole 111, and simultaneously opening a drain hole 121 on the pipe wall of the bottom flushing channel 120 so that the water passage cavity 160 is connected to the bottom flushing channel 120 through the drain hole 121, this structure allows a small amount of water leaking from the wire hole 111 to be effectively collected and guided into the water passage cavity 160, and then smoothly discharged into the bottom flushing channel 120 through the drain hole 121. This design achieves orderly drainage and reuse of leaked water, completely avoiding the risks of corrosion, scaling, bacterial growth, or short circuits in electrical components that may result from the accumulation of leaked water in the water passage 160, ensuring the dryness and cleanliness of the internal environment of the valve body 100. Furthermore, it redirects leaked water that might otherwise be wasted back into the flushing water path of the bottom flushing channel 120, improving the system's water resource utilization efficiency. At the same time, this integrated drainage structure simplifies the internal flow channel design of the valve body 100, eliminating the need for additional external drainage pipes and enhancing the product's reliability and sealing safety. Furthermore, when the water inlet 220 of the rotating component 200 faces upward along the direction of gravity, the water inlet 220 is aligned with the water inlet hole 161, allowing water from the integrated water inlet valve 30 to be directly and accurately injected into the drive chamber 210 of the rotating component 200 through the water inlet hole 161. Simultaneously, the water passage chamber 160, acting as a buffer and communication space, not only provides the necessary movement space for the traction line 400, preventing direct interference with the water flow, but also, through the design of the drain hole 121, ensures that when the rotating component 200... When water in the drive chamber 210 of component 200 needs to be discharged, it can flow into the water passage chamber 160 through the water inlet 220 and finally smoothly drain into the bottom flushing channel 120 through the drain hole 121. This achieves reliable pipeline guidance for the introduction, utilization and discharge of water provided by the integrated water inlet valve 30, avoids water accumulation or turbulence in the valve body 100, ensures the stability and repeatability of the center of gravity change and flipping action of the rotating component 200, and thus ensures precise control of the state switching of the cover plate 300 and the entire flushing cycle.
[0056] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of the wire passage 111 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the water inlet channel 110 and the brush ring channel 130. This design ensures that the main water flow in the water inlet channel 110 can preferentially and with sufficient flow and pressure flow to the brush ring channel 130, thereby ensuring that the performance of the main flushing function is not affected; at the same time, it precisely limits the flow rate of leakage or drainage water entering the water passage cavity 160 from the water inlet channel 110 through the wire passage 111, which is sufficient to effectively discharge it through the drain hole 121, while avoiding excessive water flow entering the water passage cavity 160 and causing erosion, pressure shock or interference to the traction line 400.
[0057] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, a pressure relief hole 112 is also provided on the pipe wall of the water inlet channel 110 near the water outlet 140. The water outlet cavity 160 can communicate with the water inlet channel 110 through the pressure relief hole 112. The pressure relief hole 112 is located between the wire hole 111 and the drain hole 121. When the cover plate 300 blocks the water outlet 140, the side of the cover plate 300 facing away from the water outlet 140 is adjacent to the pressure relief hole 112. When the cover plate 300 blocks the water inlet 140 and the system controls the water inlet channel 110 to stop water intake in a timely manner, since the side of the cover plate 300 facing away from the water inlet 140 is adjacent to the pressure relief hole 112, the water accumulated in the water inlet channel 110 above the cover plate 300 will be driven by its static water pressure to actively flow through the pressure relief hole 112 into the water passage cavity 160, and then discharged through the drain hole 121. This process directly and quickly reduces the water pressure acting on the cover plate 300, effectively reducing the fluid resistance and torque that the cover plate 300 needs to overcome to flip up and open. As a result, the rotating component 200 can perform the pulling action through the traction line 400 more effortlessly, quickly, and reliably, thus optimizing the response performance and energy efficiency of the entire flushing switching system.
[0058] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the drive cavity 210 includes a main cavity 211 and a secondary cavity 212 communicating with the main cavity 211, the secondary cavity 212 being located on the side of the main cavity 211 facing away from the wire hole 111. By constructing the drive cavity 210 as including a main cavity 211 and a secondary cavity 212 connected to it and located on the side opposite to the wire hole 111, this structure increases the overall volume of the drive cavity 210, thereby accommodating more drive water to provide a greater drive torque. At the same time, the setting of the secondary cavity 212 allows the center of gravity of the drive water to change more significantly when the rotating member 200 flips, enhancing the driving force and stability of the flipping action of the rotating member 200. In addition, the secondary cavity 212 is located on the side of the main cavity 211 opposite to the wire hole 111, making the center of gravity distribution of the drive cavity 210 more conducive to tilting in a specific direction, optimizing the flipping response characteristics of the rotating member 200 during water injection and drainage, ensuring reliable and rapid linkage of the traction line 400 pulling the cover plate 300 and accurate execution of the switching of various working states of the flushing device.
[0059] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, one end of the cover plate 300 is rotatably connected to the water inlet channel 110 via a pivot 330, and the other end of the cover plate 300 is connected to a fixed boss 310. The fixed boss 310 is located on the side of the cover plate 300 facing away from the water outlet 140, and one end of the traction line 400 is connected to the fixed boss 310. When the cover plate 300 is flipped upward, the fixed boss 310 is located between the cover plate 300 and the inner circumferential surface of the water inlet channel 110 and is used to abut against the inner circumferential surface of the water inlet channel 110, so that the extension direction of the cover plate 300 is set at an acute angle to the direction of gravity, so that when the traction line 400 is in a slack state, the cover plate 300 has the tendency to automatically flip downward and block the water outlet 140 under its own gravity. This structural design allows the cover plate 300, when the traction line 400 is in a slack state, to generate a downward torque relative to the rotating shaft 330 due to its own weight, thus giving it a tendency to automatically flip downward and ultimately block the water outlet 140. This design ensures that even when the traction line 400 loses tension during brush ring rinsing and reset, the cover plate 300 can reliably reset and block the water outlet 140 under gravity, enhancing the reliability and self-resetting capability of the device, while simplifying the control logic and eliminating the need for additional reset springs or mechanisms.
[0060] In some embodiments, the end of the rotating member 200 away from the water inlet 220 is rotatably connected to the water passage cavity 160 via a fixed shaft 230.
[0061] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a counterweight 320 is provided at the end of the cover plate 300 away from the pivot 330. By providing the counterweight 320 at the end of the cover plate 300 away from the pivot 330, the mass of that end of the cover plate 300 is increased, thereby increasing the torque at which the cover plate 300 flips downward around the pivot 330 under the action of gravity. This makes the tendency and action of the cover plate 300 to automatically flip downward and block the water outlet 140 when the traction line 400 is slack more rapid, powerful, and reliable.
[0062] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the flushing device further includes a brush ring nozzle 510 and a bottom flush pipe 520. The brush ring nozzle 510 is connected to the brush ring channel 130 and is used to be installed on the top of the toilet bowl 21. One end of the bottom flush pipe 520 is connected to the bottom flush channel 120, and the other end of the bottom flush pipe 520 is connected to the bottom of the toilet bowl 21. This application connects the brush ring nozzle 510 to the brush ring channel 130 and installs it on the top of the toilet bowl 21. One end of the bottom flush pipe 520 is connected to the bottom flush channel 120 and the other end is connected to the bottom of the toilet bowl 21. This clarifies the final outlet position and function of the brush ring water circuit and the bottom flush water circuit. The brush ring nozzle 510 is located on the top of the toilet bowl 21 and can form a flushing water flow around the inner wall of the toilet bowl 21, effectively cleaning the inner wall of the toilet bowl 21. The bottom flush pipe 520 is connected to the bottom of the toilet bowl 21 and can form a strong bottom water flow to realize the sewage discharge function. This structural design realizes a clear division of labor and optimized layout of flushing functions, ensuring the flushing effect. At the same time, by directly connecting the nozzle and pipe to the channel in the valve body 100, a complete and efficient flushing water circuit system is formed.
[0063] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the flushing device further includes a water tank 530, a water pump 540 disposed in the water tank 530, a water supply pipe 550, and a connector 560. One end of the water supply pipe 550 is connected to the water pump 540, and the other end of the water supply pipe 550 is connected to the water inlet channel 110 through the connector 560. This application provides a stable and controllable pressurized water source for the flushing device by setting up a water supply assembly including a water tank 530, a water pump 540, a water supply pipe 550, and a connector 560. One end of the water supply pipe 550 is connected to the water pump 540, and the other end is connected to the water inlet channel 110 through the connector 560. The water tank 530 is used to store flushing water. The water pump 540 can pressurize the water in the water tank 530 and deliver it through the water supply pipe 550. The connector 560 achieves a reliable sealed connection between the water supply pipe 550 and the water inlet channel 110 of the valve body 100. This structural design allows the flushing device to work independently of the municipal water supply network and is suitable for occasions with no tap water pressure or insufficient water pressure. At the same time, the stable water pressure provided by the water pump 540 ensures the flushing force of the brush ring and the bottom flushing water flow, improving the flushing effect and user experience.
[0064] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the brush ring channel 130 is connected to the outer circumference of the water inlet channel 110 and continuously communicates with the water inlet channel 110. By defining the brush ring channel 130 as connected to the outer circumference of the water inlet channel 110 and continuously communicating with the water inlet channel 110, the spatial positional relationship and continuous hydraulic communication between the brush ring channel 130 and the water inlet channel 110 are clarified. This structure means that regardless of whether the cover plate 300 is in a position blocking the water outlet 140 or in a position away from the water outlet 140, the water flow from the water inlet channel 110 can always flow to the brush ring nozzle 510 through the brush ring channel 130, thereby realizing the continuous water supply function of the brush ring nozzle 510. This design mainly limits the opening and closing function of the cover plate 300 and the water outlet 140 to controlling the water flow to the bottom flushing channel 120, simplifying the internal flow channel design of the valve body 100, reducing manufacturing complexity, and ensuring the independence and reliability of the brush ring function.
[0065] In some embodiments, when water begins to enter through the water inlet channel 110, the flushing device first maintains the second state for a preset duration, and then switches to the third state. By limiting the flushing device to maintain the second state (i.e., flushing only the rim) for a preset duration when water begins to enter through the water inlet channel 110, and then switching to the third state (i.e., flushing the rim and bottom flushing simultaneously), a delayed bottom flushing function is achieved. The technical benefits of this function are: after the user uses the smart toilet 10, the initial rim-only flushing effectively cleans the inner wall of the toilet, especially the rim area, pre-flushing the dirt attached to the inner wall to below the water surface at the bottom of the toilet bowl 21; after a preset delay (e.g., a few seconds), the system switches to the bottom flushing channel 120 for powerful flushing, because the dirt flushed underwater is more easily swept away by the strong siphon flow generated by the bottom flushing channel 120, thereby avoiding dirt residue and improving the cleaning effect of a single flush.
[0066] In some embodiments, the traction line 400 is either a chain or a steel wire.
[0067] In addition, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, this application also provides a smart toilet 10, which includes a toilet seat 20 with a commode 21, an integrated water inlet valve 30, a water injection pipe 570, and a flushing device as described in any of the above embodiments. The flushing device is disposed on the toilet seat 20, and the integrated water inlet valve 30 is connected to the water injection hole 161 through the water injection pipe 570.
[0068] Since the smart toilet 10 includes the flushing device described in any of the above embodiments, the smart toilet 10 also has at least the following beneficial effects: the smart toilet 10 can use its original integrated water inlet valve 30 as a power source, and through the linkage of the traction line 400, the rotating part 200 and the cover plate 300 in the flushing device, the flushing device can automatically switch between the brush ring and bottom flushing states without an additional drive device, thereby simplifying the overall structure of the smart toilet 10, reducing manufacturing costs, ensuring the reliability and versatility of the flushing function, and improving the user experience.
