Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of intelligent bathrooms, and in particular to a driving device, an intelligent toilet cover and an intelligent toilet. Background Art
[0002] Compared with ordinary toilets, smart toilets have more functions, such as automatic lid opening, buttocks cleaning, lower body cleaning, mobile cleaning, seat insulation, warm air drying, automatic deodorization, silent seating, etc.
[0003] Among them, the automatic flip function of the smart toilet requires a gear box or other driving device to drive the automatic flipping of the cover or seat ring. Among them, the gears of each level in the gear box work together. When the output shaft or gear is subjected to a large and sudden external force, the force will be transmitted from the output shaft to the gears of each level. In this process, some gears may not be able to withstand the excessive force and break teeth. For example, when the motor is working, an external force is used to manually pry the smart toilet cover. At this time, the gears of each level inside the gear assembly will be subjected to excessive force, causing the gears to slide relative to each other. If this action is frequent, it will destroy the transmission of the gears and cause damage to the gear assembly, which will cause the automatic flip function to fail to work properly.

[0010] The above-mentioned driving device of the present application can at least achieve the following beneficial effects: the transmission wheel assembly can be used to drive the flipping of the cover body or the seat ring, and the transmission wheel assembly will be subject to a certain resistance. When the resistance is small, the transmission wheel assembly can work normally. When the driving shaft of the motor drives the outer wheel through the first transmission wheel, one end of the elastic component fixed to the inner wheel is stuck in the limiting groove and abuts against the groove wall of the limiting groove.

When the transmission wheel assembly is subject to large external resistance, the second transmission wheel is difficult to rotate or even fixed. At this time, the second transmission wheel is connected to the second transmission wheel. The inner wheel with partially meshed wheels is also difficult to rotate and may even be fixed. Since the inner and outer wheels of the overload protection gear are transmitted through the limiting cooperation of the elastic component and the limiting groove, when the inner wheel cannot rotate due to excessive resistance and the outer wheel continues to rotate under the drive of the motor, one end of the elastic component itself can be extended and retracted relative to the limiting groove, and the elastic component can retract under the abutment of the groove wall of the limiting groove, and finally the end of the elastic component moves out of the limiting groove. At this time, the outer wheel will not drive the inner wheel, that is, the outer wheel and the inner wheel can rotate relatively, that is, the power of the outer wheel will not be transmitted to the inner wheel, which can effectively prevent the motor and the transmission wheel assembly from being damaged due to excessive external resistance and excessive load, and play a role in overload protection.

The ball is embedded in the mounting hole, and the elastic member is disposed in the mounting hole and elastically abuts against the ball so that the ball tends to extend into the limiting groove. The outer wheel and the inner wheel can rotate relative to each other, thereby preventing the outer wheel from forcibly transmitting power to the inner wheel and the motor being damaged.
[0014] In one embodiment, the elastic component further includes a mounting shell, the mounting shell is used to be inserted into the mounting hole, the mounting shell is provided with an opening, the ball is embedded in the opening, the elastic member is provided in the mounting shell, one end of the elastic member elastically abuts against the inner wall of the mounting shell, and the other end of the elastic member elastically abuts against the ball so that the ball has a tendency to protrude from the opening and extend into the limiting groove. Such a structural setting means that the elastic member and the ball can be installed in the mounting shell first, and then the subsequent assembly can be continued, that is, the elastic component as a whole can be pre-processed and assembled externally, and then the elastic component as a whole can be integrally installed into the mounting hole on the outer peripheral surface of the inner wheel, which is more convenient during production and installation.
[0015] In one embodiment, the elastic member is a compression spring.
[0016] In one embodiment, the opening of the mounting shell has a diameter smaller than the diameter of the ball to prevent the ball from escaping from the opening.

When the resistance is small, the transmission wheel assembly can work normally. When the driving shaft of the motor drives the outer wheel through the first transmission wheel, one end of the elastic component fixed to the inner wheel is stuck in the limiting groove and abuts against the groove wall of the limiting groove. The outer wheel can drive the inner wheel to rotate through the limiting cooperation of the groove wall of the limiting groove and the elastic component.

Since the transmission is realized between the inner wheel and the outer wheel of the overload protection gear through the limiting cooperation of the elastic component and the limiting groove, when the inner wheel cannot rotate due to excessive resistance and the outer wheel continues to rotate under the drive of the motor, one end of the elastic component itself can be extended and retracted relative to the limiting groove, and the elastic component can retract under the abutment of the groove wall of the limiting groove, and finally the end of the elastic component moves out of the limiting groove. At this time, the outer wheel will not drive the inner wheel, that is, the outer wheel and the inner wheel can rotate relatively, that is, the power of the outer wheel will not be transmitted to the inner wheel, which can effectively prevent the motor and the transmission wheel assembly from being damaged due to excessive external resistance and excessive load, and play a role in overload protection.

When the resistance is small, the transmission wheel assembly can work normally. When the driving shaft of the motor drives the outer wheel through the first transmission wheel, one end of the elastic component fixed to the inner wheel is stuck in the limiting groove and abuts against the groove wall of the limiting groove. The outer wheel can drive the inner wheel to rotate through the limiting groove wall and the elastic component. The inner wheel can drive the second transmission wheel to rotate to directly or indirectly drive the flipping of the cover body or the seat ring; when the transmission wheel assembly is subject to large external resistance, the second transmission wheel is difficult to rotate.

Since the transmission is realized between the inner wheel and the outer wheel of the overload protection gear through the limiting cooperation of the elastic component and the limiting groove, when the inner wheel cannot rotate due to excessive resistance and the outer wheel continues to rotate under the drive of the motor, one end of the elastic component itself can be extended and retracted relative to the limiting groove, and the elastic component can retract under the abutment of the groove wall of the limiting groove, and finally the end of the elastic component moves out of the limiting groove. At this time, the outer wheel will not drive the inner wheel, that is, the outer wheel and the inner wheel can rotate relatively, that is, the power of the outer wheel will not be transmitted to the inner wheel, which can effectively prevent the motor and the transmission wheel assembly from being damaged due to excessive external resistance and excessive load, and play a role in overload protection.

[0040] See also Figures 1 to 10 In some embodiments, Figures 3 to 10 As shown, the present application provides a driving device 13 of a smart toilet 10, which is used to drive Figures 1 to 3The cover body 14 or the seat ring 15 of the toilet cover shown in the figure is flipped. The driving device 13 of the smart toilet 10 may refer to a gear box, etc., which includes a housing 100, a motor 200 and a transmission wheel assembly 300. Among them, the motor 200 is arranged in the housing 100; the transmission wheel assembly 300 is arranged in the housing 100, and the transmission wheel assembly 300 includes a first transmission wheel 310, a second transmission wheel 320 and an overload protection gear 340, and the overload protection gear 340 includes an elastic component 343, an outer wheel 341 and an inner wheel 342, and the outer wheel 341 is sleeved on the inner wheel 342, and the outer wheel 341 is driven by the meshing of the first transmission wheel 310 and the driving shaft 210 of the motor 200, and the inner wheel 342 at least partially protrudes from the outer wheel 341 along the axial direction of the inner wheel 342. It is meshed with the second transmission wheel 320, and the second transmission wheel 320 is used to directly or indirectly drive the cover body 14 or the seat ring 15 to flip; the elastic component 343 is arranged between the outer wheel 341 and the inner wheel 342, and the inner circumferential surface of the outer wheel 341 is provided with a limiting groove 3411, the first end of the elastic component 343 is fixed to the inner wheel 342, and the second end of the elastic component 343 can be elastically and telescopically embedded in the limiting groove 3411, and the outer wheel 341 can be limited by the groove wall of the limiting groove 3411 and cooperate with the elastic component 343 to drive the inner wheel 342 to rotate.
[0041] The driving device 13 mentioned above in the present application can at least achieve the following beneficial effects: the transmission wheel assembly 300 can be used to drive the cover body 14 or the seat ring 15 to flip, and the transmission wheel assembly 300 will be subject to a certain resistance. When the resistance is small, the transmission wheel assembly 300 can work normally. When the driving shaft 210 of the motor 200 drives the outer wheel 341 through the first transmission wheel 310, one end of the elastic component 343 fixed to the inner wheel 342 is stuck in the limiting groove 3411 and abuts against the groove wall of the limiting groove 3411. The outer wheel 341 can drive the inner wheel 342 to rotate through the groove wall of the limiting groove 3411 and the limiting cooperation of the elastic component 343. The inner wheel 342 can drive the second transmission wheel 320 to rotate to directly or indirectly drive the cover body 14 or the seat ring 15 to flip; when the transmission wheel assembly 300 is subject to a large external resistance, the second transmission wheel 320 is difficult to rotate or even fixed. At this time, the second transmission wheel 320 is fixed to the second transmission wheel 321. 0 The partially meshed inner wheel 342 is also difficult to rotate or even fixed. Since the inner wheel 342 and the outer wheel 341 of the overload protection gear 340 are transmitted through the limiting cooperation of the elastic component 343 and the limiting groove 3411, when the inner wheel 342 cannot rotate due to excessive resistance, and the outer wheel 341 continues to rotate under the drive of the motor 200, one end of the elastic component 343 itself can be extended and retracted relative to the limiting groove 3411, and the elastic component 343 can retract under the abutment of the groove wall of the limiting groove 3411, and finally the end of the elastic component 343 moves out of the limiting groove 3411. At this time, the outer wheel 341 will not drive the inner wheel 342, that is, the outer wheel 341 and the inner wheel 342 can rotate relatively, that is, the power of the outer wheel 341 will not be transmitted to the inner wheel 342, which can effectively prevent the motor 200 and the transmission wheel assembly 300 from being damaged due to excessive external resistance and excessive load, thereby playing a role of overload protection.
[0042] Specifically, in some embodiments, the driving device 13 includes a working mode and an overload mode; in the working mode, the load borne by the inner wheel 342 is less than or equal to a predetermined load, and the outer wheel 341 can cooperate with the elastic component 343 through the groove wall of the limiting groove 3411 to drive the inner wheel 342 to rotate; in the overload mode, the load borne by the inner wheel 342 is greater than the predetermined load, the inner wheel 342 can rotate in the outer wheel 341, and the second end of the elastic component 343 can retract and move out of the limiting groove 3411 under the squeezing of the groove wall of the limiting groove 3411.
[0043] See also Figure 7 and Figure 8In some embodiments, the inner wheel 342 includes a first wheel portion 3421 and a second wheel portion 3422 fixed to the first wheel portion 3421, the first wheel portion 3421 and the second wheel portion 3422 are coaxially arranged, the second wheel portion 3422 is axially protruding from the first wheel portion 3421 and arranged on one side of the first wheel portion 3421, the second wheel portion 3422 is meshed with the second transmission wheel 320 for transmission, the outer wheel 341 is sleeved on the first wheel portion 3421, the elastic component 343 is arranged between the inner circumference of the outer wheel 341 and the outer circumference of the first wheel portion 3421, the first end of the elastic component 343 is fixed to the first wheel portion 3421, the second end of the elastic component 343 can be elastically and telescopically embedded in the limiting groove 3411, and the outer wheel 341 can be limited by the groove wall of the limiting groove 3411 and the elastic component 343 to drive the first wheel portion 3421 and the second wheel portion 3422 to rotate.
[0044] Furthermore, if Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the outer circumferential surface of the first wheel portion 3421 is provided with a mounting hole 3423, the elastic component 343 includes a ball 3432 and an elastic member 3431, the ball 3432 is embedded in the mounting hole 3423, the elastic member 3431 is arranged in the mounting hole 3423 and elastically abuts against the ball 3432 so that the ball 3432 tends to extend into the limiting groove 3411. When the driving wheel assembly 300 is in working mode, the ball 3432 can at least partially extend out of the mounting hole 3423 under the elastic force of the elastic member 3431, and the ball 3432 can be stuck in the limiting groove 3411. At this time, due to the small resistance, the ball 3432 will not move out of the limiting groove 3411, and the outer wheel 341 can cooperate with the ball 3432 through the groove wall of the limiting groove 3411 to transmit the power of the outer wheel 341 to the inner wheel 342 through the elastic member 343, and then transmit the power to the second driving wheel 320 through the inner wheel 342, and finally drive the second driving wheel 320 to the second driving wheel 320. The cover body 14 or the seat ring 15 is flipped; in the overload mode, the transmission wheel assembly 300 is subjected to greater resistance, the inner wheel 342 may not be able to rotate, while the outer wheel 341 will continue to rotate driven by the motor 200 and the first transmission wheel 310, that is, the limiting groove 3411 of the outer wheel 341 will rotate relative to the elastic component 343 of the inner wheel 342, and the ball 3432 will be squeezed out of the limiting groove 3411, that is, the outer wheel 341 and the inner wheel 342 can rotate relative to each other, which can prevent the outer wheel 341 from forcibly transmitting power to the inner wheel 342, thereby avoiding damage to the transmission wheel assembly 300 and the motor 200.
[0045] Furthermore, if Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, in some embodiments, the elastic component 343 also includes a mounting shell 3433, the mounting shell 3433 is used to be inserted into the mounting hole 3423, the mounting shell 3433 is provided with an opening, the ball 3432 is embedded in the opening, the elastic member 3431 is provided in the mounting shell 3433, one end of the elastic member 3431 elastically abuts against the inner wall of the mounting shell 3433, and the other end of the elastic member 3431 elastically abuts against the ball 3432 so that the ball has a tendency to protrude from the opening and extend into the limiting groove 3411. Such a structural setting means that the elastic member 3431 and the ball 3432 can be installed in the mounting shell 3433 first, and then the subsequent assembly is continued, that is, the elastic component 343 as a whole can be pre-processed and assembled externally, and then the elastic component 343 as a whole can be integrally installed into the mounting hole 3423 on the outer peripheral surface of the inner wheel 342, which is more convenient during production and installation. In some of the embodiments, the elastic member 3431 may be a compression spring.
[0046] Furthermore, if Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, in some embodiments, the opening of the mounting shell 3433 has a diameter smaller than the diameter of the ball 3432 to prevent the ball 3432 from escaping from the opening. Such a structural setting can prevent the ball 3432 from escaping from the opening of the mounting shell 3433, ensure that the mounting shell 3433, the elastic member 3431 and the ball 3432 of the elastic component 343 can be fixed as a whole, and facilitate the subsequent installation of the elastic component 343 as a whole on the inner wheel 342.
[0047] In some embodiments, the transmission wheel assembly 300 also includes a third transmission wheel 330 disposed in the shell 100, and the third transmission wheel 330 is meshed with the second transmission wheel 320 for transmission. An output shaft 331 extends from the middle of the third transmission wheel 330, and the output shaft 331 is used to drive the toilet cover or the seat ring 15 to flip.
[0048] In some embodiments, the mounting hole 3423 is arranged along the radial extension of the inner wheel 342 .
[0049] See also Figure 8 and Fig. 9 In some embodiments, the mounting holes 3423 and the elastic components 343 are both provided in plurality, and the plurality of mounting holes 3423 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the inner wheel 342 , and the mounting holes 3423 correspond to the elastic components 343 one by one.

Increasing the number of limiting grooves 3411 and elastic components 343 can make the outer wheel 341 more effective and uniform in conducting force when driving the inner wheel 342.
[0051] More specifically, if Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the inner circumferential surface of the outer wheel 341 is provided with a plurality of limiting grooves 3411 arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the outer wheel 341, the number of the elastic components 343 is set to be multiple, the plurality of elastic components 343 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the inner wheel 342, and the elastic components 343 correspond to the limiting grooves 3411 one by one. The plurality of elastic components 343 and the plurality of limiting grooves 3411 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the inner wheel 342, and such an arrangement can make the force transmission between the outer wheel 341 and the inner wheel 342 more uniform.
[0052] In addition, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present application also provides a smart toilet seat 12, which includes a driving device 13 as described in any of the above embodiments.
[0053] The above-mentioned smart toilet cover 12, because it includes the driving device 13 described in any of the above-mentioned embodiments, the smart toilet cover 12 also includes at least the following beneficial effects: the transmission wheel assembly 300 of the driving device 13 can be used to drive the cover body 14 or the seat ring 15 to flip, and the transmission wheel assembly 300 will be subject to a certain resistance. When the resistance is small, the transmission wheel assembly 300 can work normally. When the driving shaft 210 of the motor 200 drives the outer wheel 341 through the first transmission wheel 310, one end of the elastic component 343 fixed to the inner wheel 342 is stuck in the limiting groove 3411 and abuts against the groove wall of the limiting groove 3411. The outer wheel 341 can drive the inner wheel 342 to rotate through the groove wall of the limiting groove 3411 and the limiting cooperation of the elastic component 343. The inner wheel 342 can drive the second transmission wheel 320 to rotate to directly or indirectly drive the cover body 14 or the seat ring 15 to flip; when the transmission wheel assembly 300 is subject to large external resistance, the second transmission wheel 320 is difficult to rotate. The inner wheel 342 partially meshed with the second transmission wheel 320 is also difficult to rotate or even fixed. Since the inner wheel 342 and the outer wheel 341 of the overload protection gear 340 are driven by the elastic component 343 and the limiting groove 3411 to realize transmission, when the inner wheel 342 cannot rotate due to excessive resistance, and the outer wheel 341 continues to rotate under the drive of the motor 200, one end of the elastic component 343 itself can extend relative to the limiting groove 3411. The outer wheel 341 and the inner wheel 342 can rotate relative to each other, that is, the power of the outer wheel 341 will not be transmitted to the inner wheel 342, which can effectively prevent the motor 200 and the transmission wheel assembly 300 from being damaged due to excessive external resistance and excessive load, and play a role of overload protection.
[0054] In addition, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present application also provides a smart toilet 10 , which includes a toilet seat 11 and a smart toilet cover 12 as described in any of the above embodiments, and the smart toilet cover 12 is covered on the toilet seat 11 .
[0055] The above-mentioned smart toilet 10, because it includes the driving device 13 and the smart toilet cover 12 described in any of the above-mentioned embodiments, the smart toilet 10 also includes at least the following beneficial effects: the transmission wheel assembly 300 of the driving device 13 can be used to drive the cover body 14 or the seat ring 15 to flip, and the transmission wheel assembly 300 will be subject to a certain resistance. When the resistance is small, the transmission wheel assembly 300 can work normally. When the driving shaft 210 of the motor 200 drives the outer wheel 341 through the first transmission wheel 310, one end of the elastic component 343 fixed to the inner wheel 342 is stuck in the limiting groove 3411 and abuts against the groove wall of the limiting groove 3411. The outer wheel 341 can drive the inner wheel 342 to rotate through the groove wall of the limiting groove 3411 and the limiting cooperation of the elastic component 343. The inner wheel 342 can drive the second transmission wheel 320 to rotate to directly or indirectly drive the flipping of the cover body 14 or the seat ring 15; when the transmission wheel assembly 300 is subject to a large external resistance, the second transmission wheel 320 is difficult to rotate. The inner wheel 342 partially meshed with the second transmission wheel 320 is also difficult to rotate or even fixed. Since the inner wheel 342 and the outer wheel 341 of the overload protection gear 340 are driven by the elastic component 343 and the limiting groove 3411 to realize transmission, when the inner wheel 342 cannot rotate due to excessive resistance, and the outer wheel 341 continues to rotate under the drive of the motor 200, one end of the elastic component 343 itself can be relative to the limiting groove 3411. When the outer wheel 341 is extended or retracted, the elastic component 343 can retract under the contact of the groove wall of the limiting groove 3411, and finally the end of the elastic component 343 moves out of the limiting groove 3411. At this time, the outer wheel 341 will not drive the inner wheel 342, that is, the outer wheel 341 and the inner wheel 342 can rotate relatively, that is, the power of the outer wheel 341 will not be transmitted to the inner wheel 342, which can effectively prevent the motor 200 and the transmission wheel assembly 300 from being damaged due to excessive external resistance and excessive load, and play a role in overload protection.
