[0001] The utility model relates to the field of sanitary wares, in particular to a cover plate structure and an intelligent toilet. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous improvement of living standards, people's requirements for the comfort and convenience of the living environment are increasing day by day. As an example of the integration of modern technology and life, intelligent household products are gradually penetrating into all aspects of daily life. Among them, intelligent toilets have been widely recognized and applied in the market due to their unique intelligence, convenient operation, health and environmental protection and other advantages.
[0003] At present, intelligent toilets on the market generally adopt a variety of sensor technologies to achieve their intelligent functions, including but not limited to infrared induction, microwave induction, pressure induction, etc. These technologies have improved the intelligent level of the toilet to a certain extent, but there are still some problems. For example, although the infrared induction technology can accurately identify the user's sitting state, when the cover plate is closed, due to the penetration and scattering of infrared signals, it is easy to misjudge that someone is sitting, thus triggering unnecessary flushing operations, resulting in waste of resources and decline in user experience. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a cover plate structure and an intelligent toilet. By opening or closing the cover plate, the pressing component is driven to open or close the micro switch, and then the disconnection or conduction of the sensing component is controlled, so that the sensing component is powered off during non-working hours, avoiding the problem of mis-triggering.
[0005] The utility model is realized by the following technical solutions:
[0006] A cover plate structure includes a main board and a sensing component connected to the main board. The main board drives an actuator to perform an action according to the sensing signal of the sensing component; it further includes:
[0007] A rear shell is installed on the toilet. The rear shell has an inner cavity, and the main board and the sensing component are arranged in the inner cavity;
[0008] A micro switch is arranged in the inner cavity, and the micro switch is connected to the main board;
[0009] A pressing component. The pressing component expands and contracts towards the direction of the micro switch as the cover plate rotates. When the cover plate is opened, the pressing component presses the micro switch to open the micro switch; when the cover plate is closed, the pressing component releases the micro switch to close the micro switch.
[0010] Further, the pressing assembly includes a driving member and a connecting member. The driving member is disposed between the rear case and the cover plate, and the driving member rotates synchronously with the rotation of the cover plate. The connecting member is disposed between the micro switch and the driving member, and the connecting member abuts against the driving member. When the cover plate is opened, the connecting member and the driving member are in a first abutting state, and the connecting member presses the micro switch to open the micro switch. When the cover plate is closed, the connecting member and the driving member are in a second abutting state, and the connecting member releases the micro switch to close the micro switch.
[0011] Further, a first protrusion is provided on the end face of the driving member facing the connecting member, and a second protrusion is provided on the end face of the connecting member facing the driving member. When the cover plate is opened, the first protrusion corresponds to the second protrusion, and the driving member drives the connecting member to expand and contract in the direction of the micro switch. When the cover plate is closed, the first protrusion and the second protrusion are misaligned, and the connecting member releases the micro switch.
[0012] Further, a first guiding block is further provided on the end face of the driving member, and the first guiding block is connected between the first protrusion and the end face of the driving member; and / or, a second guiding block is further provided on the end face of the connecting member, and the second guiding block is connected between the second protrusion and the end face of the connecting member.
[0013] Further, two sets of the first guiding block and the first protrusion are symmetrically arranged about the center on the end face of the driving member; two sets of the second guiding block and the second protrusion are symmetrically arranged about the center on the end face of the connecting member.
[0014] Further, the micro switch further includes a return spring. When the cover plate is opened, the connecting member passes through and presses the return spring.
[0015] Further, the micro switch has a moving arm and a switch element. The opening and closing of the micro switch are indirectly achieved by pressing or releasing the moving arm through the connecting member to press or release the switch element.
[0016] Further, one end of the driving member away from the connecting member is installed on the bushing of the cover plate.
[0017] Further, the sensing member is an infrared sensor. When the micro switch is opened, the sensing member is turned on and used to sense whether there is an object. When the micro switch is closed, the sensing member is turned off.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution and its beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0020] (1) The utility model is provided with a micro switch connected to the main board. When the cover is opened, the pressing component presses the micro switch to open the micro switch, and then the sensing element is connected to the main board and starts to work. When the cover is closed, the pressing component releases the micro switch to close the micro switch, and then the sensing element is disconnected from the main board and closed. The micro switch is used to control whether the sensing element works or not, so that the sensing element is powered off during non-working hours (cover closed), avoiding false triggering and saving energy.
[0021] (2) In the cover structure of the utility model, when the cover is opened, the driving member rotates with the cover to the first contact state with the connecting member, that is, the first protrusion and the second protrusion are correspondingly contacted, and the overall length of the pressing assembly becomes longer, thereby pressing the micro switch to open the micro switch. When the cover is closed, the driving member rotates with the cover to the second contact state with the connecting member, that is, the first protrusion and the second protrusion are offset and contacted, and the overall length of the pressing assembly is shortened, thereby releasing the micro switch and closing the micro switch. The opening and closing of the micro switch is controlled by the opening or closing of the cover, which is ingenious in design and precise in control.

[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present utility model. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0039] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a cover plate structure includes a main board 70 and an inductive part 60 connected to the main board 70. The main board 70 drives an actuator to perform an action according to the induction signal of the inductive part 60. The inductive part 60 senses information such as whether it is seated and the seating duration. The main board 70 controls whether the actuator performs an action according to a set threshold value. The actions performed may include semi - flush flushing, full - flush flushing, etc. The inductive part in this embodiment uses an infrared sensor.
[0040] The cover plate structure further includes a rear shell 20, which is installed on the toilet. The rear shell 20 has an inner cavity, and the main board 70 and the sensing member 60 are arranged in the inner cavity. A micro switch 30 is arranged in the inner cavity. The micro switch 30 is connected between the sensing member 60 and the main board 70. That is, whether the sensing member 60 is electrically connected to the main board 70 is controlled by the micro switch 30. Further, when the micro switch 30 is disconnected, the sensing member 60 is also turned off, so that the sensing member 60 is powered off during non-working hours (when the cover plate is closed), avoiding mis-triggering and saving energy consumption at the same time. Especially for battery products, it can greatly increase the power supply time of the battery and thus improve the service life of the product. Here, it can also be that the micro switch 30 and the sensing member 60 are respectively connected to the main board 70, and the main board 70 receives the opening and closing conditions of the micro switch 30 to further control the opening and closing of the sensing member 60.
[0041] The cover plate structure further includes a pressing assembly, and the pressing assembly expands and contracts in the direction of the micro switch 30 following the rotation of the cover plate 10. Specifically, when the cover plate 1 is opened, the pressing assembly presses the micro switch 30 to open the micro switch 30; when the cover plate is closed, the pressing assembly releases the micro switch 30 to close the micro switch 30.
[0042] In this embodiment, the micro switch 30 has a moving arm 31 and a switch element 32. The opening and closing of the micro switch 30 are switched by indirectly pressing or releasing the switch element 32 by squeezing or releasing the moving arm 31, as Figure 3 . The pressing assembly expands and contracts in the direction of the moving arm 31 following the rotation of the cover plate 10, and then squeezes or releases the moving arm.
[0043] Continue to refer to Figure 2 , the pressing assembly includes a driving member 40 and a connecting member 50. The driving member 40 is arranged between the rear shell 20 and the cover plate 10. One end of the driving member 40 away from the connecting member 50 is installed on the bushing 11 of the cover plate 10, so that the driving member 40 rotates synchronously with the rotation of the cover plate 10. The connecting member 50 is arranged between the micro switch 30 and the driving member 40, and the connecting member 50 abuts against the driving member 40. When the cover plate is opened, the driving member 40 rotates, so that the driving member 40 and the connecting member 50 are in a first abutting state. At this time, the connecting member 50 abuts against the moving arm 31 to open the micro switch 30. When the cover plate is closed, the driving member 40 rotates, so that the driving member 40 and the connecting member 50 are in a second abutting state, and the connecting member 50 releases the moving arm 31 to close the micro switch 30.
[0044] Refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5, a first protrusion 41 is provided on the end face of the driving member 40 facing the connecting member 50, and a second protrusion 51 is provided on the end face of the connecting member 50 facing the driving member 40. When the cover plate is opened, the first protrusion 41 and the second protrusion 51 are correspondingly abutted, and the driving member 40 and the connecting member 50 are in the first abutting state. The overall length of the pressing assembly becomes longer, so that the connecting member 50 moves towards the direction of the microswitch 30 and presses the moving arm 31, thereby controlling the microswitch 30 to open, and further controlling the induction member 60 to conduct with the main board 70. The induction member 60 enters the working state, and the induction member 60 can be used to sense whether there is an object, such as Figure 6 . When the cover plate is closed, the first protrusion 41 and the second protrusion 51 are misaligned, the driving member 40 and the connecting member 50 are in the second abutting state, the overall length of the pressing assembly is shortened, the connecting member 50 moves towards the driving member 40, and the moving arm 31 is released, thereby controlling the microswitch 30 to close, and further controlling the induction member 60 to disconnect from the main board 70, and the induction member 60 stops working, such as Figure 7 .
[0045] A return spring 33 is further provided on the microswitch 30. When the cover plate is opened, the connecting member 50 passes through and presses the return spring 33 under the push of the driving member 40. When the cover plate is closed, the restoring deformation force of the return spring 33 pushes the connecting member 50 towards the driving member 40, so that the connecting member 50 and the driving member 40 are restored to the second abutting state.
[0046] A first guiding block 42 is further provided on the end face of the driving member 40, and the first guiding block is connected between the first protrusion 41 and the end face of the driving member 40. A second guiding block 52 is further provided on the end face of the connecting member 50, and the second guiding block 52 is connected between the second protrusion 51 and the end face of the connecting member 50. At least one of the first guiding block 42 and the second guiding block 52 is provided to facilitate the sliding switching of the first protrusion 41 between the abutting or misaligned states with the second guiding block 52 when the driving member 40 rotates.
[0047] In this embodiment, two groups of the first guiding block 42 and the first protrusion 41 are symmetrically arranged about the center on the end face of the driving member 40, and two groups of the second guiding block 52 and the second protrusion 51 are symmetrically arranged about the center on the end face of the connecting member 50, so that there is no need to distinguish the direction during installation, which is convenient for quick installation.
[0048] This embodiment further provides an intelligent toilet, including a flushing assembly (not shown) and the foregoing cover plate structure, and the induction member 60 can be used to control the opening and closing of the flushing assembly.
[0049] The above description shows and describes the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. It should be understood that the present utility model is not limited to the forms disclosed herein, should not be regarded as excluding other embodiments, but can be used in various other combinations, modifications and environments, and can be changed within the scope of the concept of the present utility model herein through the above teachings or the technology or knowledge in the relevant field. And the changes and modifications made by those skilled in the art that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present utility model should all be within the protection scope of the appended claims of the present utility model.
