Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of heating, and more specifically, to a storage-type hot water filtering and heating device and a smart toilet. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing demand for the quality of life, furniture design has gradually become intelligent. For example, toilets are equipped with various freely selectable functions, such as the hip wash / woman wash function. The hip wash / woman wash function requires heating approximately 60 ml of water to a certain temperature (generally 40 - 50 degrees) quickly. Currently, in some products on the market, an instant heater is used for heating, powered by a 220V power supply. The 220V voltage directly heats the water body, and then the water body directly flushes and cleans the human body, which poses a huge safety hazard within a certain safety range. In another part of the products on the market, a water tank is used to store and heat the cleaning water. When using the hip wash / woman wash function, it is then mixed with cold water to a certain temperature and sprayed for flushing. However, bacteria and molds will grow when the water tank is kept at a constant temperature.

[0003] In order to solve the problem of potential safety hazards caused by high-voltage power supply in smart toilets, currently, some products convert the mains 220V into a 36V safety voltage. However, compared with 220V power supply, for 36V power supply to maintain the original heating effect, five times the current is required, which results in the need to replace the power adapter, wires, heating tubes, etc. with high-current versions, increasing the complexity and cost, and the instant heating effect is not good.

[0004] How to heat the water required for the hip wash / woman wash function of the toilet at low voltage while ensuring the cleanliness of the flushing water body is a problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above problems, the present application provides a storage-type hot water filtering and heating device and a smart toilet, so as to provide cleaner flushing water to users in a safe and low-voltage manner.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the following specific solutions are proposed:

[0007] A storage-type hot water filtering and heating device, characterized in that it includes a water-absorbing and heat-generating material, a container, and a heater with a working voltage lower than a preset voltage value. The container is filled with the water-absorbing and heat-generating material, and the state of the water-absorbing and heat-generating material includes a water-absorbing state and a water-saturated state;

[0008] The water-absorbing and heat-generating material in the water-absorbing state is used to absorb water and generate heat when normal temperature water is input into the storage-type hot water filtering and heating device;

[0009] When the water-absorbing and heat-generating material generates heat to a target temperature, the storage-type hot water filtering and heating device outputs the cleaning water at the target temperature;

[0010] The heater is used to heat the water-absorbing and heat-generating material in a water-absorbed saturated state, so that the water released by the water-absorbing and heat-generating material is vaporized into water vapor, and the state of the water-absorbing and heat-generating material is restored to the state to be water-absorbed.

[0011] Optionally, the heater is wrapped outside the container to heat the water-absorbing and heat-generating material through the wall surface of the container.

[0012] Optionally, the heater is connected to the container in a plug-in manner to directly heat the water-absorbing and heat-generating material.

[0013] Optionally, the heater is equipped with a matching power supply.

[0014] Optionally, the water-absorbing and heat-generating material is molecular sieve.

[0015] Optionally, the working power of the heater is lower than a preset power.

[0016] An intelligent toilet includes a storage-type hot water filtering and heating device, a normal temperature water supply source and a cleaning nozzle as described above. The water inlet of the container for loading the water-absorbing and heat-generating material in the storage-type hot water filtering and heating device is connected to the normal temperature water supply source, and the water outlet of the container is connected to the cleaning nozzle.

[0017] Optionally, the intelligent toilet further includes a booster pump, and the water outlet of the container is connected to the cleaning nozzle through the booster pump.

[0018] By means of the above technical solution, the present application uses the water-absorbing and heat-generating material for instant heating through the storage-type hot water filtering and heating device. After the common water is input into the storage-type hot water filtering and heating device, the water-absorbing and heat-generating material can self-heat to the target temperature and output hot water after the water temperature reaches the target temperature. Further, the water-absorbing and heat-generating material is heated by a low-voltage heater to restore its state, and this process can release water and generate water vapor. It can be seen that the heating process of the storage-type hot water filtering and heating device for the flushing water body is a no-current or low-current mode, and it is extremely safe during use, solving the safety hazards brought by high-voltage heating. At the same time, the storage-type hot water filtering and heating device has an adsorption and decomposition effect on water impurities and bacteria, which can make the cleaning water cleaner and ensure the sanitary safety of cleaning the user's privacy parts.

The drawings are only for the purpose of showing the preferred embodiments and are not considered to be a limitation of the present application. Moreover, throughout the drawings, the same reference numerals are used to represent the same components. In the drawings:

[0024] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0025] Figure 1 This is a schematic structural diagram of a storage-type hot water filtration and heating device provided by an embodiment of the present application, as Figure 1 shown, the storage-type hot water filtration and heating device may include: a water-absorbing and heat-generating material, a container, and a heater.

[0026] Among them, the heater may be a low-voltage heater with a working voltage lower than a preset voltage value. The working power of the heater may also be lower than a preset power.

[0027] Specifically, the heater is equipped with a power supply matching it. For example, if the working voltage of the heater is 36V, then the heater is equipped with a 36V power supply, and this power supply can convert the mains voltage of 220V into 36V.

[0028] The container is filled with a water-absorbing and heat-generating material, and the water-absorbing and heat-generating material may be a molecular sieve, which has the characteristic of generating heat when encountering water and can adsorb water.

[0029] According to the water absorption degree of the water-absorbing and heat-generating material, the state of the water-absorbing and heat-generating material can be divided into several states, namely the water-absorbing state (or initial state), the water-absorption saturated state, and the water-absorption unsaturated state.

[0030] Among them, the water-absorbing state can represent the state where the water-absorbing and heat-generating material has not absorbed water or has released all its moisture. The water-absorption saturation state can represent the state where the water-absorbing and heat-generating material has completely absorbed water and cannot absorb any more water when encountering water again. The unsaturated water-absorption state can represent the state where the water-absorbing and heat-generating material is absorbing water but is not saturated and can still continue to absorb water.

[0031] The water-absorbing and heat-generating principle of the water-absorbing and heat-generating material is as Figure 2 shown. When normal temperature water is injected into the energy storage type hot water filtration and heating device, the water-absorbing and heat-generating material in the energy storage type hot water filtration and heating device generates heat by itself and quickly heats the normal temperature water, and then outputs hot water. The low-pressure and low-power heater can heat the water-absorbing and heat-generating material to release the moisture and restore it to the initial state.

[0032] Specifically, when the water-absorbing and heat-generating material is in the water-absorbing state, when normal temperature water is input into the energy storage type hot water filtration and heating device, it will absorb water and generate heat. At this time, since the normal temperature water has not been heated to the target temperature (such as below 40 °C), the energy storage type hot water filtration and heating device will not output water, thus preventing the output of cold water.

[0033] When the water-absorbing and heat-generating material heats up to the target temperature, the energy storage type hot water filtration and heating device can output cleaning water at the target temperature.

[0034] Among them, the target temperature can be a temperature in the range of 40 °C to 50 °C, and this temperature can be a comfortable temperature for human body cleaning.

[0035] When the water-absorbing and heat-generating material absorbs water to the water-absorption saturation state, the heater can heat the water-absorbing and heat-generating material. Specifically, the molecular sieve can be heated to 90 °C. After the molecular sieve is heated to 90 °C, it starts to release the absorbed moisture, and as the heating temperature rises, the released moisture vaporizes into water vapor, which has a disinfection effect on the energy storage type hot water filtration and heating device. At the same time, after the molecular sieve releases the moisture, its state is restored from the water-absorption saturation state to the water-absorbing state for the next round of heat generation.

[0036] It can be understood that the purpose of the heater is to restore the initial state of the water-absorbing and heat-generating material and use the moisture released by the water-absorbing and heat-generating material for pasteurization. Therefore, there is no need to use a high-pressure / high-power configuration, and a low-pressure and low-power heater can meet this requirement.

[0037] Furthermore, in addition to the heating and impurity removal effects, using the molecular sieve can also remove fluorine, add hydrogen and oxygen, increase the pH value, make the cleaning water show weak alkalinity, and have stronger and healthier cleaning power.

[0038] The energy storage type hot water filtering and heating device provided by this embodiment uses a water-absorbing and heat-generating material for instant heating. After the common water is input into the energy storage type hot water filtering and heating device, the water-absorbing and heat-generating material can self-heat to the target temperature and output hot water after the water temperature reaches the target temperature. Further, a low-voltage and low-power heater is used to heat the water-absorbing and heat-generating material to restore its state, and this process can release moisture and generate water vapor. Thus, the heating process of the energy storage type hot water filtering and heating device for the flushing water body is a non-current or low-current mode, and it is extremely safe during use, solving the safety hazards brought by high-voltage heating. At the same time, the energy storage type hot water filtering and heating device has an adsorption and decomposition effect on water impurities and bacteria, which can make the cleaning water cleaner and ensure the hygienic safety of cleaning the user's private parts.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present application, the heating method of the heater for the water-absorbing and heat-generating material mentioned in the above embodiment is introduced, and specifically, the following two methods can be included.

[0040] First, the heater is wrapped outside the container to heat the water-absorbing and heat-generating material through the wall surface of the container.

[0041] Second, the heater is connected to the container in an inserted manner to directly heat the water-absorbing and heat-generating material.

[0042] It can be understood that both the first and second methods can enable the heater to fully heat the water-absorbing and heat-generating material to make full use of the heating effect of the heater.

[0043] Based on the introduction of the energy storage type hot water filtering and heating device in the foregoing embodiment, in some embodiments of the present application, an intelligent toilet is proposed. The intelligent toilet may include the energy storage type hot water filtering and heating device, a normal temperature water supply source, and a cleaning nozzle introduced in the foregoing embodiment.

[0044] As Figure 3 shown, the water inlet of the container for loading the water-absorbing and heat-generating material in the energy storage type hot water filtering and heating device is connected to the normal temperature water supply source, and the water outlet of the container is connected to the cleaning nozzle.

[0045] It can be understood that in the buttock washing / feminine washing function of the intelligent toilet, a certain amount of cleaning water (40°C - 50°C) needs to be provided for the user. Then, normal temperature water needs to be obtained from the normal temperature water supply source. Since hot water needs to be provided to the user, the hot water can be output from the water outlet of the container to the cleaning nozzle.

[0046] Further, the intelligent toilet may further include a booster pump. As Figure 4 shown, then the water outlet of the container can be connected to the cleaning nozzle through the booster pump to pressurize the output hot water flow, which can ensure the flushing strength during buttock washing / feminine washing.

[0047] Next, an application example of the hip wash / woman wash function of the intelligent toilet mentioned in the foregoing embodiments will be introduced. Specifically, it may include the following steps:

[0048] S1. Calculate and obtain the required normal temperature water according to the cleaning water demand of the hip wash / woman wash function of the intelligent toilet.

[0049] For example, if the cleaning water demand of the hip wash / woman wash function of the intelligent toilet is 80g of hot water, the water-absorbing and heat-generating material in the energy storage type hot water filtration and heating device is 200g, and the water absorption saturation ratio of the water-absorbing and heat-generating material to water is 1:1.6, then the required normal temperature water is 200g * 1.6 + 80g = 400g. Therefore, 400g of normal temperature water needs to be obtained from the normal temperature water supply source so that during the water absorption and heat generation process of 200g of the water-absorbing and heat-generating material, 200g * 1.6 = 320g of water can be absorbed, and at the same time, the remaining 80g of water can be heated to meet the cleaning water demand of 80g of hot water for the hip wash / woman wash function of the intelligent toilet.

[0050] S2. Extract the required normal temperature water from the normal temperature water supply source.

[0051] S3. Inject the normal temperature water into the energy storage type hot water filtration and heating device so that the water-absorbing and heat-generating material heats the hot water during the water absorption and heat generation process.

[0052] S4. The energy storage type hot water filtration and heating device outputs the heated hot water.

[0053] S5. The hot water is delivered to the cleaning nozzle, and the user uses the hot water through the cleaning nozzle.

[0054] S6. After completing one hip wash / woman wash function, the low-voltage and low-power heater heats the water-absorbing and heat-generating material, releases moisture, and vaporizes it into water vapor to perform pasteurization on the hot water filtration and heating device.

[0055] It can be seen that the heating process of the flushing water body for the hip wash / woman wash function of the intelligent toilet is in a no-current or low-current mode, which is extremely safe during use and solves the safety hazards brought by high-voltage heating. The energy storage type hot water filtration and heating device has the function of adsorbing and decomposing water impurities and bacteria, which can make the water body cleaner and ensure the hygienic safety of cleaning the private parts. In addition, in addition to the heating and impurity removal effects, using molecular sieves can also remove fluorine, add hydrogen and oxygen, increase the pH value, make the cleaning water show weak alkalinity, and make the cleaning power stronger and healthier.
