DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, example embodiments can be implemented in a variety of forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this application will be comprehensive and complete and fully convey the concepts of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art. The same reference numerals in the figures represent the same or similar structures, and thus their detailed description will be omitted.

[0028] In the related art, the wires in the existing seat ring extend into the rear shell and are electrically connected to the main control board in the rear shell. With this type of connection, when the seat ring needs to be removed and / or repaired, the rear shell often needs to be opened, and the electrical connection between the main control board and the seat ring needs to be disconnected or untied before the seat ring can be removed from the rear shell, which makes the disassembly and maintenance of the seat ring cumbersome and inconvenient. Therefore, the present application improves the convenience of disassembly and maintenance operations by arranging the electrical connection structure between the seat ring and the main control board in the seat ring.

[0029] See Figure Figure 4 The embodiment of the present application provides a seat ring 100, the seat ring 100 includes a body with a toilet hole 101, the body includes an upper cover 12 and a lower cover 11, the upper cover 12 is installed on the lower cover 11, and an inner cavity 102 is formed between the upper cover 12 and the lower cover 11, and the inner cavity 102 can be used to place an electronic device 20. The upper cover 12 and the lower cover 11 can be connected by fasteners and / or colloid.

[0030] Preferably, an independent cavity is formed on the lower cover 11 as a sealed cavity 14, and the independent cavity is open toward the upper cover 12, and the installation cover 13 covers the opening. A notch is provided at a position of the upper cover 12 corresponding to the sealed cavity 14, and the installation cover 13 is located at the notch. When maintenance and replacement are required, the independent cavity can be seen by opening the installation cover 13, and the electrical connection structure 22 can be disassembled and operated in the independent cavity. The installation cover 13 is installed on the lower cover 11 by fasteners or a snap-fit ​​structure.

[0031] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 The sealed cavity 14 has a first wire hole 141 and a second wire hole 142 for the wire to pass through. The inner cavity 102 of the body and the sealed cavity 14 are connected through the first wire hole 141, and the outside and the sealed cavity 14 are connected through the second wire hole 142. The first wire hole 141 and the second wire hole 142 are respectively used for the electronic device 20 and the electric control device to pass the wire. The outside refers to the area outside the seat ring 100. Specifically, the side wall of the sealed cavity 14 formed in the lower cover 11 is provided with a first wire hole 141 and a second wire hole 142.

[0032] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the sealed cavity 14 is used to place the electrical connection structure 22, so the sealing of the sealed cavity 14 is very important. A first seal 16 is provided between the mounting cover 13 and the lower cover 11. The first seal 16 can be an annular rubber strip, and its shape can match the shape of the independent cavity opening. The main body is provided with a mounting groove 19 along the circumference of the mounting cover 13, and the first seal 16 is pressed tightly in the mounting groove 19. A second seal 17 is provided in the first wire hole 141, and the first wire hole 141 is tightly matched with the second seal 17. A third seal 18 is provided in the second wire hole 142, and the second wire hole 142 is tightly matched with the third seal 18. The second seal 17 and the third seal 18 can be rubber sleeves, and the shape of the rubber sleeves is adapted to the corresponding wire holes. The second seal 17 and the third seal 18 are mainly used to solve the sealing problem of the wire hole position, and both are provided with holes for passing the wire. Of course, the first wire hole 141 can also form a sealing structure by filling glue.

[0033] See also Figure 2In some embodiments, the first wire hole 141 is a U-shaped opening, and the second seal 17 is an I-shaped rubber sleeve. The second seal 18 and the body together form a mounting groove 19, and the first seal 16 is pressed on the second seal 17. The seat ring 100 includes a sleeve 15 for assembly with the rear shell, and the sealing cavity 14 is arranged at a position close to the sleeve 15. The sealing cavity 14 is connected with the sleeve 15, and the sleeve 15 is used as the second wire hole 142. The first seal 16 is pressed on the sleeve 15.

[0034] Referring to the figure, in some embodiments, the mounting cover 13 is assembled on the body by fasteners, and a sealing ring is provided at the fastener location to seal with the mounting cover 13. This prevents water vapor and water from entering the sealing cavity 14 from the fastener location, thereby enhancing the sealing performance.

[0035] See also Figure 4 Preferably, the electronic device 20 is one or more of a seat sensor, a heating wire or a temperature sensor.

[0036] In another embodiment, a toilet is provided, comprising the seat ring 100 and a rear shell, wherein the electric control device comprises a main control board 200 and / or a power supply (not shown). The seat ring 100 is rotatably connected to the rear shell, the electric control device is installed in the rear shell, and the wires of the electric control device extend into the sealed cavity 14 and are electrically connected to the electronic device 20 in the sealed cavity 14.

[0037] See also Figure 3 The electronic device 20 includes a first wire 21, and the electric control device includes a second wire 23. The first wire 21 passes through the second sealing member 17, and the second wire 23 passes through the third sealing member 18. The first wire 21 and the second wire 23 can be connected in the sealed cavity 14. For example, the electronic device 20 in the seat ring 100 can extend the wire into the sealed cavity 14, and the wire of the main control board 200 also extends into the sealed cavity 14, and the two are electrically connected in the sealed cavity 14 through the connection structure. Of course, the electric control device can also be a power source.
