Detailed implementation manners
[0025] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear and understandable, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.
[0026] It should be noted that although functional module division is performed in the device schematic diagram and the logical sequence is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order from the module division in the device or the sequence in the flowchart. Terms such as "first" and "second" in the specification, claims and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and do not necessarily need to describe a specific order or sequence.
[0027] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the technical field to which this application belongs. The terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing the embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application.
[0028] First, several terms involved in the present application are analyzed:
[0029] Intelligent cover plate: It is a structure for fixing and installing a circuit board. It can be the toilet cover of an intelligent toilet.
[0030] CAN (Controller Area Network) bus: Controller Area Network bus, which is a serial communication protocol bus capable of performing serial data communication.
[0031] It should be noted that the current control circuit of intelligent toilets often consists of a main control board and multiple peripheral modules. Generally, each peripheral module is connected to the main control board through a serial port (abbreviation: serial port). Since there are many peripheral modules in intelligent toilets, the main control chip needs to use a large number of serial ports to connect to different peripheral modules, which requires the main control board to provide a very large number of serial port peripherals. Multiple serial ports have high performance requirements for the main control module, and the cost of the main control chip with multiple serial ports is high. This will lead to a high cost of intelligent toilets and a complex wiring of the control circuit. Currently, the circuit design, wiring, etc. of the control circuit of intelligent toilets are all relatively complex. In addition, the installation positions of each circuit module are different, and they are all connected to the main control board with different wire lengths. In order to distinguish the connecting wires of different lengths, it may be necessary to set different colors for the connecting wires or serial ports, which will also increase the cost of the circuit.
[0032] The control circuit, intelligent cover plate and intelligent toilet for intelligent toilets provided by the embodiments of the present application will be specifically described through the following embodiments. First, the control circuit for intelligent toilets in the embodiments of the present application will be described.
[0033] Figure 1 FIG. is an optional module block diagram of the control circuit for intelligent toilets provided by the embodiments of the present application. The control circuit includes: a main control module 100, a peripheral module 200, and a connection module 300. Among them, the connection module 300 includes a first terminal unit 310 and a second terminal unit 320, and the first terminal unit 310 is connected to the second terminal unit 320; the first terminal unit 310 is connected to the main control module 100; the second terminal unit 320 is connected to the peripheral module 200.
[0034] The beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present application include but are not limited to: by setting the first terminal unit 310 and the second terminal unit 320 in the connection module 300 of the control circuit, connecting the first terminal unit 310 to the second terminal unit 320, connecting the first terminal unit 310 to the main control module 100, and connecting the second terminal unit 320 to the peripheral module 200, the circuit connection structure between the main control module 100 and the peripheral module 200 is simplified through the first terminal unit 310 and the second terminal unit 320, avoiding the use of serial ports to connect the main control module 100 and the peripheral module 200, and reducing the complexity of wiring in the control circuit.
[0035] It should be noted that in the existing intelligent toilet control circuit, the main control chip needs to use a relatively large number of serial ports (abbreviated as serial ports) to connect with different peripheral modules 200. The cost of the main control chip with multiple serial ports is relatively high, which will lead to a relatively high cost of the intelligent toilet and a more complex wiring of the control circuit. In the embodiments of the present application, by connecting the first terminal unit 310 to the main control module 100 and connecting the second terminal unit 320 to a peripheral module 200, it is not necessary to use a complex serial port for connection. Therefore, the cost of the intelligent toilet is reduced, and the connection structure of the control circuit can be made simpler.
[0036] In some embodiments, specifically, the types of terminals in the connection module 300 include one-to-one terminals and one-to-two terminals. By using the above specific types of terminals, the redundant connection structure in the circuit can be made simpler, and the cost of the intelligent toilet can be reduced.
[0037] In some embodiments, the first terminal unit 310 and the second terminal unit 320 in the connection module 300 are connected through a CAN bus, so that the control circuit can communicate using the CAN protocol.
[0038] In some embodiments, the first terminal unit 310 includes a first terminal, and the second terminal unit 320 includes a second terminal; the first terminal and the second terminal are connected, the first terminal is connected to the main control module 100, and the second terminal is connected to the peripheral module 200.
[0039] The advantage of this embodiment is that the first terminal is connected to the main control module 100, and the second terminal is connected to a peripheral module 200, thereby realizing a one-to-one connection structure between the main control module 100 and the peripheral module 200, and simplifying the connection structure of the control circuit.
[0040] It should be noted that both the first terminal and the second terminal are one-to-one terminals. Please refer to Figure 2 , in some embodiments, the connection structure of the two one-to-one terminals is as Figure 2 shown.
[0041] In some embodiments, the first terminal unit 310 includes a third terminal, and the second terminal unit 320 includes a fourth terminal and a fifth terminal; the third terminal is respectively connected to the fourth terminal and the fifth terminal; the third terminal is connected to the main control module 100, the fourth terminal is connected to the peripheral module 200, and the fifth terminal is connected to another peripheral module 200.
[0042] The advantage of this embodiment is that the third terminal is connected to the main control module 100, the fourth terminal is connected to the peripheral module 200, and the fifth terminal is connected to another peripheral module 200, thereby realizing a one-to-two connection structure between the main control module 100 and multiple peripheral modules 200, and simplifying the connection structure of the control circuit.
[0043] It should be noted that the third terminal is a two-terminal for one, and the fourth and fifth terminals are both one-terminal for one. Please refer to Figure 3 , in some embodiments, the two-terminal for one is respectively connected to two one-terminal for one, and the connection structure is as Figure 3 shown.
[0044] Please refer to Figure 4 , in some embodiments, the peripheral module 200 is any one of a microwave module 210, a Bluetooth module 220, a heating module 230, a remote control decoding module 240, a flushing module 250, a trigger module 260, and a display module 270.
[0045] The advantage of this embodiment is that there are various peripheral modules 200 in the control circuit of the smart toilet, so that various functions such as heating, Bluetooth wireless communication, and displaying information can be realized.
[0046] In an application example, the connection structure between the above-mentioned peripheral module 200 and the main control module 100 is as Figure 4 shown.
[0047] In some embodiments, specifically, the peripheral module 200 can also be any one of a foam module, a WI FI module, and a sound module. Among them, the foam module is used to generate foam to clean the smart toilet. The WI FI module is used to obtain the first object instruction in a WI FI manner, and specifically can obtain the instruction from an external device (such as a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone). The sound module is used to emit a preset sound according to the sound instruction output by the main control module, such as performing voice broadcast or playing audio, so as to improve the user experience.
[0048] In some embodiments, the microwave module 210 is used to detect the object posture data of the target object, and the main control module 100 is used to control the heating module 230 to heat according to the object posture data.
[0049] The advantage of this embodiment is that when the microwave module 210 detects the object posture data of the target object, the heating module 230 heats up, realizing the heating function of the smart toilet.
[0050] Specifically, the target object can refer to the user of the smart toilet, and the object posture data can be a gesture made by the target object; in another embodiment, when the distance between the target object and the microwave module 210 is less than a preset distance threshold (such as 100 mm), the microwave module 210 detects the object posture data, so that the heating module 230 heats according to the object posture data.
[0051] Specifically, the heating module 230 can be an instant heating plate, which is used to control the heating of the water temperature. The instant heating plate heats the water temperature according to the cleaning heating instruction sent by the main control module 100. The instant heating plate can also feedback the water temperature information to the main control module 100, so that the main control module 100 sends a heating feedback instruction according to the relationship between the water temperature information and the preset temperature threshold. For example, when the temperature value in the water temperature information is greater than or equal to the temperature threshold, the main control module sends a heating feedback instruction to the instant heating plate to keep the temperature. Among them, the instant heating plate adopts an instant heating method, that is to say, the instant heating plate can quickly heat the water flow.
[0052] In some embodiments, the Bluetooth module 220 is used to obtain a first object instruction, and the remote control decoding module 240 is used to decode the first object instruction to obtain target decoded data; the main control module 100 is used to send the target decoded data to the display module 270; the display module 270 is used to display the target decoded data.
[0053] The advantage of this embodiment is that through the display module 270, data can be intuitively displayed, improving the convenience of the intelligent toilet.
[0054] Specifically, the display module 270 can be a display screen, which can display data such as the temperature and heating time of the intelligent toilet. The first object instruction can be an instruction sent by a mobile terminal (such as a mobile phone).
[0055] In some embodiments, the trigger module 260 is used to obtain a second object instruction, and the flushing module 250 is used to perform a flushing action according to the second object instruction.
[0056] The advantage of this embodiment is that the flushing module 250 performs a flushing action according to the second object instruction obtained by the trigger module 260, thus realizing the flushing function.
[0057] Specifically, the trigger module 260 can be a knob. The knob obtains the second object instruction, which can specifically be an instruction generated according to a specific operation, such as a single click, a clockwise rotation, a counterclockwise rotation, etc.
[0058] Specifically, the trigger module 260 further includes a light-emitting sub-module, and the light-emitting sub-module performs a light-emitting action in response to the light-emitting instruction sent by the main control module 100, such as lighting up or changing the light color.
[0059] In some embodiments, the distance between the first terminal unit 310 and the second terminal unit 320 is a preset standard length.
[0060] The advantage of this embodiment is that in each connection module 300, the distance between the first terminal unit 310 and the second terminal unit 320 is set to a unified standard length, so as to ensure that the distance between the main control module 100 and the peripheral module 200 is the preset standard length, avoiding the use of connection lines with multiple different lengths and simplifying the connection structure of the control circuit.
[0061] Specifically, the value range of the standard length can be 200mm - 400mm. In one embodiment, the standard length can be 200mm.

[0063] A substrate;
[0064] A circuit board, which is arranged on the substrate and includes the above control circuit for the intelligent toilet.
