[0024] The present application provides a water tank. Figure 1 As shown, the water tank 20 of this embodiment is disposed in the toilet body 10. Specifically, the toilet body 10 is formed with a first accommodating space 101, and the water tank 20 is disposed in the first accommodating space 101, and the shape of the water tank 20 is adapted to the shape of the first accommodating space 101. The shape of the water tank 20 can be set to an L-shape, so as to facilitate the arrangement of the water tank 20 inside the first accommodating space 101 of the toilet body 10, or it can be set to other shapes adapted to the first accommodating space 101 of the toilet body 10, which is not specifically limited in this application. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a water inlet device 50 is provided in the water tank 20, and a drain port 201 is provided on the wall of the water tank 20. The first accommodation space 101 includes a first part and a second part, the first part extends along the first direction, the second part extends from one end of the first part along the second direction, and the first direction intersects with the second direction. The water tank 20 includes a first part and a second part, the first part of the water tank 20 extends along the first direction, and the second part of the water tank 20 extends from one end of the first part along the second direction to match the shape of the first accommodation space 101. Among them, the first direction and the second direction can be perpendicular to each other, or can be an angle of any angle of 60-120 degrees, and this application does not make specific limitations here.

[0025] In an optional example, a first accommodating space 101 is formed in the toilet body 10, and the first accommodating space 101 includes a first part and a second part, the first part extends along a first direction, and the second part extends from one end of the first part along a second direction, and the first direction intersects with the second direction. According to the shape of the first accommodating space 101 of the toilet body 10, a water tank 20 of an integral structure is formed by a blow molding process, so that the shape of the water tank 20 is adapted to the first accommodating space 101 of the toilet body 10. Therefore, when the water tank 20 is installed, the water tank 20 is installed inside the first accommodating space 101, which can reduce the volume of the idle space inside the toilet body 10, and the toilet body 10 will not have the problem of low utilization of the first accommodating space 101 due to the structure of the water tank 20. That is, after the toilet body 10 is produced, the water tank 20 of an integral structure can be formed by blow molding according to the shape of the first accommodating space 101 formed by the toilet body 10. The water tank 20 can also be formed by other processes according to the shape of the toilet body 10, such as molding, etc., which is not specifically limited in this application. The first accommodation space 101 of the toilet body 10 can be arbitrarily set according to user or process requirements. When preparing the water tank 20, the water tank 20 is prepared according to the shape of the first accommodation space 101, which is not specifically limited in this application. The water tank 20 is formed in one piece by blow molding according to the shape of the first accommodation space 101 of the toilet body 10, which facilitates the installation of the water tank 20 and the layout of the components in the toilet body 10.

[0026] In other embodiments, the toilet body 10 may include a first shell and a second shell, and the first shell and the second shell are detachably connected to form a first accommodating space 101. When installing the water tank 20, the water tank 20 can be installed on the first shell. After the water tank 20 is installed, the second shell is buckled on the first shell and the water tank 20, so as to fix the water tank 20, that is, to facilitate the installation of the water tank 20 in the first accommodating space 101 of the toilet body 10. The installation steps and maintenance costs of the water tank 20 can be effectively reduced.

[0027] Furthermore, if Figure 1As shown, a water inlet device 50 is arranged in the water tank 20, and the water tank 20 includes a first part and a second part. The first part of the water tank 20 extends along the first direction, and the second part of the water tank 20 extends from one end of the first part along the second direction, thereby forming the water tank 20. Among them, the water inlet device 50 can be arranged inside the first part of the water tank 20, and the direction of the water inlet device 50 extending along the first direction with the first part of the water tank 20 is arranged inside the first part. Further effectively reduce the installation of the water tank 20 inside the first accommodating space 101 of the toilet body 10. A drain port 201 is arranged on the wall of the water tank 20, and water can be discharged through the drain port 201.

[0028] In the above embodiment, the first accommodation space 101 is formed in the toilet body 10, and the water tank 20 of an integrated structure is formed by a blow molding process according to the shape of the first accommodation space 101 of the toilet body 10, so that the shape of the water tank 20 is adapted to the first accommodation space 101 of the toilet body 10. Therefore, when the water tank 20 is installed, the water tank 20 is installed inside the first accommodation space 101, which can effectively reduce the volume of the idle space inside the toilet body 10, improve the space utilization rate of the first accommodation space 101, and facilitate the installation of the water tank 20 and the layout of the components in the toilet body 10. The water tank 20 structure is formed in one piece by the blow molding process, which reduces the preparation steps of the water tank 20 and the use and maintenance costs.

[0029] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the water tank 20 also includes a drainage device 30, and the drainage device 30 is connected to the drainage port 201. The drainage port 201 is located on the side wall of the water tank 20 and is arranged near the bottom wall of the water tank 20. When the toilet body 10 needs to be flushed, the water tank 20 is drained through the drainage device 30, thereby completing the drainage. The drainage port 201 is opened on the side wall of the water tank 20. When the drainage device 30 is installed on the drainage port 201, the layout capability of the drainage device 30 inside the toilet body 10 can be improved, and the drainage port 201 is arranged near the bottom wall of the water tank 20, so as to facilitate the flushing of the water tank 20. Further, the drainage device 30 includes a water pump 301 and a drainage pipe 302, and the water pump 301 is arranged in the first accommodating space 101. One end of the drainage pipe 302 is connected to the drainage port 201, and the other end is connected to the water pump 301. The part of the drainage pipe 302 connected to the water tank 20 is perpendicular to the side wall of the water tank 20. The drain pipe 302 can be fixed to the drain port 201 and the water pump 301 by screws or bonding. The portion of the drain pipe 302 connected to the water tank 20 is perpendicular to the side wall of the water tank 20, which can improve the layout capability of the water tank 20 and the drainage device 30 when the water tank 20 is installed in the first accommodation space 101 of the toilet body 10. When the toilet body 10 is flushed, the water pump 301 can extract the water flow inside the water tank 20 through the drain pipe 302 to complete the flushing. In other embodiments, the portion of the drain pipe 302 connected to the water tank 20 can be arranged at a certain angle to the side wall of the water tank according to the position of other components installed inside the first accommodation space 101 of the toilet body 10, so as to avoid other components and improve the component layout capability and space utilization of the toilet body 10. The drain pipe 302 is a flexible hose, that is, the drain pipe 302 can be attached to the side wall of the water tank 20, or it can be wrapped around other components, which is not specifically limited in this application. The water tank 20 is disposed on one side of the first accommodating space 101 , and the drainage device 30 is disposed on the other side of the first accommodating space 101 .

[0030] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 5As shown, the water tank 20 also includes a filter device 40, which is arranged in the drain port 201 or in the drain pipe 302. The filter device 40 is clamped by the drain pipe 302 and the drain port 201, so as to fix the filter device 40. Among them, the filter device 40 can also be clamped in the drain port 201 or the drain pipe 302, and the filter device 40 can also be arranged inside the drain port 201 and the drain pipe 302, that is, one end is arranged in the drain port 201, and the other end is arranged in the drain pipe 302, which is not specifically limited in this application. When the toilet body 10 needs to be flushed, the water flow inside the water tank 20 passes through the drain pipe 302, and the filter device 40 can filter the water flow, thereby preventing debris from entering the water pump 301 through the drain pipe 302 to block the water pump 301, thereby damaging the water pump 301 and reducing the service life of the water pump 301. Furthermore, the filter device 40 is an annular filter screen, which is made of a flexible material and is compatible with the drain port 201 or the drain pipe 302. The annular filter screen is arranged inside the drain port 201 or the drain pipe 302, and the annular filter screen is made of a flexible material, which can be adapted to the drain port 201 or the drain pipe 302. During installation, the filter screen can be effectively prevented from being damaged and is convenient for subsequent maintenance.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the water tank 20 includes a second accommodating space 202 and a third accommodating space 203, and the second accommodating space 202 is connected to the third accommodating space 203. The water inlet device 50 is arranged in the second accommodating space 202, and the axial direction of the second accommodating space 202 and the third accommodating space 203 is arranged at a certain angle, and the drain port 201 is connected to the third accommodating space 203. The water inlet device 50 is arranged in the second accommodating space 202, and when the water tank 20 is filled with water, the water inlet device 50 transports the water flow to the second accommodating space 202 and the third accommodating space 203. Among them, the water tank 20 is integrally formed by blow molding, so as to form the second accommodating space 202 and the third accommodating space 203. Further, the water tank 20 is detachably connected to the toilet body 10, that is, the water tank 20 can be clamped in the toilet body 10, and the water tank 20 can also be fixed in the first accommodating space 101 of the toilet body 10 by screws, latches, etc.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 1As shown, the toilet body 10 includes a fourth accommodating space 102, which is disposed at the upper end of the toilet body 10. An overflow port 204 is provided at the upper end of the water tank 20, and the overflow port 204 is communicated with the fourth accommodating space 102. After the water inlet device 50 delivers water to the inside of the water tank 20, the sewage inside the water tank 20 can be discharged through the overflow port 204 provided at the upper end of the water tank 20. The fourth accommodating space 102 is formed at the upper end of the toilet body 10, and the overflow port 204 is communicated with the fourth accommodating space 102. When the water inlet device 50 fails, the water inlet device 50 continues to supply tap water to the inside of the water tank 20, and the water level inside the second accommodating space 202 of the water tank 20 continues to rise. When the water level in the second accommodating space 202 reaches the overflow port 204, the sewage in the water tank 20 can flow into the fourth accommodating space 102 of the toilet body 10 through the overflow port 204, thereby preventing the sewage in the water tank 20 from entering the domestic tap water and contaminating the domestic water.

[0033] In an optional embodiment, a sensor (not shown) is provided on the water inlet device 50, and the sensor is located in the second accommodating space 202 to detect the water level in the second accommodating space 202. The sensor can detect whether the second accommodating space 202 is short of water or full of water. When there is a lack of water, the water inlet device 50 is turned on to start conveying tap water into the second accommodating space 202. When the water level in the second accommodating space 202 reaches the detection position of the sensor, the water inlet device 50 is turned off and tap water is no longer conveyed to the second accommodating space 202. The height of the sensor can be adjusted to control the water level in the second accommodating space 202 according to actual needs, and can also be fixedly set in the second accommodating space 202, which is not specifically limited in this application. Therefore, by setting a sensor on the side wall of the water tank, and the sensor is located in the second accommodating space 202, the water level in the second accommodating space 202 can be monitored, so as to determine whether the second accommodating space 202 is short of water or full of water.

[0034] In a specific application scenario, the water tank 20 is arranged inside the first accommodation space 101 of the toilet body 10, and tap water enters the second accommodation space 202 of the water tank 20 through the water inlet device 50. After the water level inside the second accommodation space 202 reaches the height of the sensor, the sensor controls the water inlet device 50 to stop the water inlet. After the water inside the second accommodation space 202 of the water tank 20 is discharged through the drain port 201, the sensor detects that the second accommodation space 202 is short of water, and the water inlet device 50 starts to fill the second accommodation space 202 and the third accommodation space 203 with water. In this embodiment, when the sensor fails or the water inlet device 50 malfunctions, the water inlet device 50 will always be in a water inlet state. At this time, the water level inside the water tank 20 will continue to rise, and the sewage in the second accommodating space 202 will rise to the overflow height of the overflow port 204. The sewage in the second accommodating space 202 can flow out through the overflow port 204, thereby discharging the sewage into the fourth accommodating space 102 of the toilet body 10, effectively preventing the sewage water level from continuing to rise and entering the household tap water.

[0035] In the above manner, the present application forms the first accommodation space 101 in the toilet body 10, and forms the water tank 20 of an integrated structure by blow molding according to the shape of the first accommodation space 101 of the toilet body 10, so that the shape of the water tank 20 can be adapted to the first accommodation space 101 of the toilet body 10, effectively reducing the volume of the idle space inside the toilet body 10, improving the space utilization rate of the first accommodation space 101 and the spatial layout capability of the toilet body 10. By opening a drain port 201 on the side wall of the water tank close to the bottom wall of the water tank 20 and connecting the drain device 30 to the drain port 201, the layout capability of the drain device 30 inside the toilet body 10 can be improved. By arranging a water pump 301 and a drain pipe 302 in the first accommodation space 101, and the part of the drain pipe 302 connected to the water tank 20 is perpendicular to the side wall of the water tank, the layout capability of the toilet body 10 can be further improved. By arranging the filter device 40 inside the drain port 201 or the drain pipe 302, the water flow can be filtered when the water tank 20 is drained, thereby preventing impurities from entering the water pump 301 and blocking the water pump 301. By arranging the filter device 40 as a ring filter screen made of flexible material, the filter screen can be effectively prevented from being damaged during installation and facilitate subsequent maintenance. By arranging the water inlet device 50 in the second accommodation space 202 of the water tank 20, the layout capability of the water tank 20 in the toilet body 10 can be further improved, and the space occupied in the toilet body 10 can be reduced. By arranging the fourth accommodation space 102 at the upper end of the toilet body 10, and opening the overflow port 204 connected to the fourth accommodation space 102 at the upper end of the water tank 20, the sewage in the water tank 20 can flow into the fourth accommodation space 102 of the toilet body 10 through the overflow port 204, preventing the sewage in the water tank 20 from entering the domestic tap water and contaminating the domestic water. By disposing a sensor in the second accommodating space 202 of the water tank 20, the water level in the second accommodating space 202 can be monitored, thereby determining whether the water tank 20 is short of water or full of water.

[0036] The present application also provides a smart toilet, which includes: a water tank, which is any of the water tanks mentioned above.
