[0050] A smart toilet seat comprises a detection test paper bucket.

[0051] The following is an example of using the test paper barrel of the utility model:

[0052] Step 1: Place the test paper barrel vertically in the shell of the smart toilet and secure it.

[0053] Step 2: Check the initial state of the test paper barrel, the waste liquid inlet 710 corresponds to the opening 410 of the lower cover 400 of the test paper barrel.

[0054] Step 3: After the detection function is activated, the piercing component pierces the sealing film 200 covering the exhaust hole 140 through the piercing reserved hole 420 .

[0055] Step 4: The rotating shaft 160 of the test strip holder 100 is driven by the external rotating mechanism to rotate a certain angle so that the detection area corresponding to the pierced exhaust hole 140 faces the opening 410 of the lower cover 400 of the test strip barrel, thereby exposing the liquid filling port 120 and the test strip 150.

[0056] Step 5: The external liquid adding component pierces the sealing film 200 on the surface of the liquid adding port 120, and injects the detection liquid into the liquid adding port 120. The detection liquid flows downward through the main liquid tank 180 and the liquid separation port 190 to reach each reaction color block. The excess detection liquid flows out from the exhaust hole 140 of the test strip holder 100 and the waste liquid outlet hole 430 of the test strip barrel lower cover 400 to the external waste liquid collection component.

[0057] Step 6: After the test strip 150 has completed the reaction with the detection liquid, the external detection module is started to collect the data of the test strip 150 after the reaction at the opening 410 of the lower cover 400 of the test strip barrel.

[0058] Step 7: After the data collection of the test strip 150 is completed, the rotating shaft 160 of the test strip holder 100 is rotated by a certain angle under the drive of the external rotating mechanism, so that the test strip holder 100 returns to the initial state, that is, the waste liquid flow inlet 710 corresponds to the opening 410 of the test strip barrel lower cover 400.

[0059] Step 8: After the test strip holder 100 returns to the initial state, the external cleaning pipeline component cleans the external liquid adding component and other pipelines, and injects the waste liquid after cleaning the pipeline from the waste liquid flow inlet 710 into the cleaning waste liquid collecting tank 700, and then flows into the waste liquid outlet 720 into the waste liquid outlet hole 430 of the lower cover 400 of the test strip barrel. The system automatically records that the detection of the test strip 150 has been completed.

[0060] Step 9: After the next detection function is started, the external component will use the previously recorded number of used test strips 150, and the rotating shaft 160 of the test strip holder 100 will rotate a certain angle under the drive of the external rotating mechanism, so that the exhaust hole 140 corresponding to the next unused test strip 150 is coaxially corresponding to the piercing reserved hole 420 of the lower cover 400 of the test strip barrel, and then continue the work from the third to the eighth steps. Repeat this process until all the test strips 150 in the test strip barrel are used up, and the system prompts to replace the test strip barrel.
