[0035] In the following description, a large number of specific details are given to provide a more thorough understanding of the utility model. However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the utility model can be implemented without one or more of these details. In other examples, in order to avoid confusion with the utility model, some technical features known in the art are not described.

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a cover mechanism, which includes a cover assembly 100, a rear shell 200, a descender 300 and a seal. The rear shell 200 is installed on the toilet seat, and the electrical components of the smart toilet are installed inside the rear shell 200. The side of the rear shell 200 is provided with an installation cavity 200a, and the descender 300 is installed in the installation cavity 200a. The cover assembly 100 is hinged to the descender 300. The seal is sleeved on the circumference of the descender 300 to seal the joint circumference between the descender 300 and the installation cavity 200a. The cover mechanism of this structure can effectively prevent external moisture or dust from entering the interior of the rear shell 200 through the installation cavity 200a, and can protect the electrical components inside the rear shell 200, which has good practicality.

[0037] Specifically, Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As described, in this embodiment, the descender 300 includes a descending slowdown housing 310 and a rotating shaft 320. The descending slowdown housing 310 is disposed in the mounting cavity 200a. The rotating shaft 320 can rotate relative to the descending slowdown housing 310 with damping, and the rotating shaft 320 extends outward from the mounting cavity 200a. The cover plate assembly 100 is connected to the descender 300 and can realize a descending slowdown function relative to the toilet seat. It should be noted that the descender 300 belongs to an existing device in the art, and its descending slowdown principle and structure belong to the existing technology in the art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0038] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the cover mechanism also includes a sleeve 400 sleeved on the rotating shaft 320, and the sleeve 400 is made of plastic material. The seal includes a first seal 500 and a second seal 600, and the first seal 500 and the second seal 600 are both annular rubber seals. The first seal 500 is sleeved on the inner circumference of the sleeve 400 or the outer circumference of the rotating shaft 320, and is sealed between the outer circumference of the rotating shaft 320 and the inner circumference of the sleeve 400. The second seal 600 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the sleeve 400 or the circumference of the mounting cavity 200a, and is sealed between the outer circumference of the sleeve 400 and the circumference of the mounting cavity 200a. The cover mechanism of this structure can not only realize the corresponding limiting function through the sleeve 400, but also can well realize the sealing between the descending device 300 and the mounting cavity 200a through the arrangement of the first seal 500 and the second seal 600.

[0039] Specifically, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 320 is provided with an annular first groove 320a, and the first seal 500 is provided in the first groove 320a. The outer circumferential surface of the sleeve 400 is provided with an annular second groove 400a, and the second seal 600 is provided in the second groove 400a. The first groove 320a and the second groove 400a can play the role of limiting the first seal 500 and the second seal 600, which can effectively prevent the first seal 500 and the second seal from axial movement when the cover plate assembly 100 rotates relative to the toilet seat, thereby ensuring the reliability of the seal between the descending device 300 and the installation cavity 200a.

[0040] In this embodiment, the rear housing 200 is provided with a first limiting portion (not shown), the ramp is provided with a second limiting portion (not shown), and the sleeve 400 can be limited to the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion respectively. Of course, in other embodiments, the cover mechanism can be limited to the first limiting portion or the second limiting portion according to actual needs, which will not be repeated here.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the cover assembly 100 includes a seat ring 110 and an upper cover 120, and the cover assembly 100 includes two sets of descending retarders 300, and both sides of the rear shell 200 are provided with mounting cavities 200a, and the two sets of descending retarders 300 are respectively arranged in the mounting cavities 200a on both sides, and the two sets of descending retarders 300 respectively realize the descending function of the seat ring 110 and the upper cover 120. Of course, the two sets of descending retarders 300 and the corresponding mounting cavities 200a are also sealed by sealing members to prevent external moisture or dust from entering the interior of the rear shell 200 through the mounting cavities 200a.

[0042] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the cover plate mechanism can omit the shaft sleeve 400, and the seal also only includes a sealing ring made of rubber. The sealing ring is directly sleeved on the outer circumference of the rotating shaft 320, or directly sleeved on the inner circumference of the installation cavity 200a, and is sealed between the rotating shaft 320 and the circumference of the installation cavity 200a. Of course, a sealing groove can also be provided on the rotating shaft 320 to place the sealing member to prevent the sealing member from axially moving when the cover plate assembly 100 rotates relative to the toilet seat, and the details are not repeated here.

[0043] The present embodiment also provides a toilet, which includes a toilet seat, a cover mechanism and a water tank mechanism, etc. Among them, the cover mechanism includes a cover assembly 100, a descending retarder 300 and a rear shell 200. The rear shell 200 is detachably connected to the toilet seat, and some electrical components of the smart toilet are installed inside the rear shell 200. The cover assembly 100 includes a seat ring 110 and an upper cover 120, and the seat ring 110 and the upper cover 120 are respectively hinged to the rear shell 200 through the descending retarder 300. This cover mechanism is the cover mechanism provided above in the present embodiment, which can effectively prevent external moisture or dust from entering the interior of the rear shell 200 through the installation cavity 200a, and can protect the electrical components inside the rear shell 200.

[0044] The cover mechanism and toilet thereof provided in the above-mentioned embodiment can effectively prevent external moisture and dust from entering the interior of the rear shell 200 through the connection position between the cover assembly 100 and the rear shell 200 by setting a seal on the joint circumferential surface between the descender 300 and the rear shell 200, and can prevent the life and function of the electronic components inside the rear shell 200 from being affected by moisture, and has good practicality.

[0045] It should be understood that the multiple examples described above can be used in multiple directions (such as tilted, inverted, horizontal, vertical, etc.) and in multiple configurations without departing from the principles of the present invention. The embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings are shown and described only as examples of effective applications of the principles of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to any specific details of these embodiments.

[0046] Of course, once the above description of the representative embodiments is carefully considered, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications, additions, substitutions, deletions and other changes may be made to these specific embodiments, and these changes are within the scope of the principles of the present utility model.
