Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of toilets, in particular to a water tank device and an intelligent toilet. Background Art

[0002] A toilet with a water tank needs to meet the overflow requirement, that is, when the water level in the water tank is too high, the excess water can flow away through the sewage pipe of the toilet. In order to achieve overflow, existing intelligent toilets usually have a water passing cavity extending forward at the top of the water tank. The water passing cavity is arranged in a groove provided at the top of the wall body where the rear side of the toilet's fecal basin is located, so that the water discharged from the water passing cavity directly flows into the fecal basin from the rear of the fecal basin. This kind of water tank is of an upper open type, and the height of the water tank is usually relatively high, and the upper end surface of the water tank reaches the height of the toilet seat surface.

[0003] With the development of the times, more and more functions are integrated into intelligent toilets. In order to solve the problem of component layout, the base of the electronic cover of the intelligent toilet is often sunk a lot. When such a cover plate is applied to the above-mentioned toilet, the base of the electronic cover is very likely to interfere with the water tank. To avoid interference, the base of the electronic cover can only be designed to sink unilaterally, which greatly limits the layout of the electronic cover. If the height of the water tank is lowered, although the problem of interference between the water tank and the base of the electronic cover is solved, it will cause the water passing cavity of the water tank to also be lowered accordingly. Otherwise, the upper open water tank cannot overflow, but lowering the water passing cavity will cause the water passing cavity to no longer be able to be placed in the groove at the top of the rear side of the toilet fecal basin, and ultimately cause the excess water in the water tank to unable to be discharged into the fecal basin of the toilet. Summary of the Utility Model

[0032] Embodiment 1

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1-5 As shown, a water tank device of the present utility model is applied to a toilet and includes a closed water tank part and an overflow member 2. The water tank part is provided with a first water inlet 11 and a first water outlet 12 at the bottom of the water tank part (see Figure 6As shown in the figure, and an overflow port 13 located at the top of the water tank part. The overflow member 2 is separated from the water tank part, and the overflow member 2 is provided with a second water inlet 21 and a second water outlet 22 that communicate with each other. The second water inlet 21 communicates with the overflow port 13, and the second water outlet 22 can discharge the overflow water of the water tank part into the toilet bowl. Therefore, the present utility model uses a closed water tank part in cooperation with the overflow member 2 to achieve overflow, so that when the height of the water tank part is made lower, it will not affect the overflow of the water tank part. Moreover, when the water tank device of the present utility model is applied to an intelligent toilet, the water tank part thereof can be made lower to avoid interference with the base of the electronic cover.

[0034] In this embodiment, the water tank part includes a closed main water tank 1. The main water tank 1 is provided with the above-mentioned first water inlet 11, second water outlet 22, and overflow port 13. In addition, the water tank part of the present utility model further includes at least one closed sub-water tank 3. In this embodiment, the present utility model takes one sub-water tank 3 as an example, but the number of sub-water tanks 3 is not limited to one. A first communication port 14 is provided at the bottom of the main water tank 1, and a second communication port 31 is provided at the bottom of the sub-water tank 3. The first communication port 14 is connected to the second communication port 31. Specifically, the first communication port 14 and the second communication port 31 are connected by a communication pipe 4, and the communication pipe 4 is a large-diameter pipe body. Therefore, the present utility model can use the communication pipe 4 to increase the water storage capacity of the water tank part, thereby being beneficial to improving the flushing effect. In other embodiments, the water tank part of the present utility model only includes the main water tank 1.

[0035] In this embodiment, the top of the sub-water tank 3 is also provided with an overflow port 13. The second water inlets 21 of the overflow member 2 are multiple, specifically two. One of the second water inlets 21 is connected to the overflow port 13 of the main water tank 1, and the other second water inlet 21 is connected to the overflow port 13 of the sub-water tank 3. Specifically, each of the second water inlets 21 of the overflow member 2 is connected to the corresponding overflow port 13 by an overflow pipe 5. The first communication port 14 and the second communication port 31 are connected by a communication pipe 4.

[0036] As Figure 2 、 Figure 5 shown, the overflow member 2 is provided with a water passing cavity 23, and its two second water inlets 21 and second water outlet 22 are connected through the water passing cavity 23. The second water outlet 22 of the overflow member 2 is in a long strip shape and extends horizontally, so that the water outlet area of the second water outlet 22 of the overflow member 2 is large and can drain water quickly. The water passing area of the water passing cavity 23 is the same as or basically the same as the water outlet area of the second water outlet 22.

[0037] As Figure 3 、 Figure 4 shown, the overflow member 2 is provided with a downwardly extending fixed rib plate 24, and the fixed rib plate 24 is connected to a connecting rib plate 84 provided between the sewage pipe and the inner tank of the toilet body by screws or bolt assemblies (asFigure 8 As shown, it does not impose special process requirements on the toilet body and is easy to implement.

[0038] A water tank device of the present utility model is applied to an intelligent toilet. When in use, the main water tank 1 and the secondary water tank 3 are respectively placed into the accommodating cavity 82 provided at the rear of the toilet body 8 of the intelligent toilet. The overflow member 2 is placed in the groove 83 provided at the top of the wall body between the fecal basin of the toilet body 8 and the accommodating cavity 82, and the second water outlet 22 of the overflow member 2 faces the fecal basin 81 of the toilet body 8. As Figure 8 shown, in Figure 8 , the tops of both the main water tank 1 and the secondary water tank 3 are lower than the top of the accommodating cavity 82 of the toilet body 8, and there is a large distance between the tops of the main water tank 1 and the secondary water tank 3 and the top of the accommodating cavity 82 of the toilet body 8. Therefore, even if the two sides of the electronic cover base of the intelligent toilet sink a lot, it will not interfere with the water tank part.

[0039] When the water tank part is filling with water, the upper gas inside the main water tank 1 and the secondary water tank 3 will pass through the overflow port 13 and the overflow pipe 5 into the overflow member 2, and then be discharged from the second water outlet 22 of the overflow member 2. When the water tank part is draining water, external gas will be sucked in from the second water inlet 21 of the overflow member 2, pass through the overflow pipe 5 and enter the inside of the main water tank 1 and the secondary water tank. When a failure occurs in the water inlet device connected to the water tank part, resulting in the continuous rise of the water levels in the main water tank 1 and the secondary water tank 3, the excess water will flow into the overflow member 2 through the overflow pipe 5, and then be discharged into the fecal basin 81 of the toilet body 8 from the second water outlet 22 of the overflow member 2, and finally be drained away through the sewage pipe of the toilet.

[0040] Therefore, a water tank device of the present utility model not only solves the overflow problem but also avoids interference with the base of the electronic cover.

[0041] Embodiment 2

[0042] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown. The difference between a water tank device of the present utility model and the above embodiment is that: an electronically controlled water inlet valve 6 is connected to the first water inlet 11 of the main water tank 1. Specifically, the water inlet valve 6 is a one-in-one-out valve body. The water inlet end of the water inlet valve 6 is connected to the municipal tap water, and the water outlet end of the water inlet valve 6 is connected to the first water inlet 11 of the main water tank 1. The water tank device of the present utility model further includes a liquid level detection sensor 7. The liquid level detection sensor 7 is installed in the water tank part to detect the liquid level height of the water tank part and send a signal to the main control board connected to the water inlet valve 6, so that the main control board controls the on-off of the water inlet valve 6. Specifically, in this embodiment, the liquid level detection sensor 7 is installed in the upper part of the main water tank 1, but it is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the liquid level detection sensor is installed in the upper part of the secondary water tank. The water inlet valve 6 is preferably an electromagnetic valve.

[0043] When the liquid level in the water tank part is lower than the working water level, the water inlet valve 6 intakes water; when the liquid level in the water tank part reaches the working water level, the water inlet valve 6 stops intaking water.

[0044] An intelligent toilet of the present utility model includes a toilet body 8, an electronic cover (not shown in the figure), and the water tank device described in the above-mentioned Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2 of the present utility model. The toilet body 8 is provided with a fecal basin 81 and a receiving cavity 82 located at the rear side of the fecal basin 81. The water tank part is installed in the receiving cavity 82 of the toilet body 8, and the top end of the water tank part is lower than the top end of the receiving cavity 82. The main water tank 1 and the auxiliary water tank 3 of the water tank part are distributed left and right in the receiving cavity 82 of the toilet body 8. The water outlet of the overflow member 2 communicates with the fecal basin 81 of the toilet body 8.

[0045] In this embodiment, the toilet body 8 is provided with a groove 83 at the top of the wall body between its fecal basin 81 and the receiving cavity 82. The overflow member 2 is placed in the groove 83, and the second water outlet 22 of the overflow member 2 faces the fecal basin 81 of the toilet body 8.

[0046] An intelligent toilet of the present utility model, by providing a separate overflow member 2 and connecting the overflow member 2 to the overflow port 13 of the water tank part through an overflow pipe 5, can not only realize the overflow function with a small occupied space, but also prevent the two sides of the electronic cover base from interfering with the water tank part when sinking, significantly improving the freedom of the electronic cover layout.

[0047] A water tank device and an intelligent toilet of the present utility model, the parts not involved are the same as or can be implemented by the prior art.
