[0029] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the example embodiments can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this utility model will be more complete and comprehensive, and the concept of the example embodiments will be fully conveyed to those skilled in the art. Like reference numerals in the figures denote the same or similar structures, and thus their detailed description will be omitted.

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 4 , this embodiment provides a multi-point induction seat ring, which is applied to a smart toilet. The seat ring includes a seat ring body 100 and a hinge part 200. The hinge part 200 is arranged at the tail end of the seat ring body 100, and the hinge part 200 is rotatably connected to the toilet body (not shown in the figure). This multi-point induction seat ring senses in regions, making the functions diverse.

[0031] Among them, the smart toilet includes a toilet body, an actuator, a control module 300, and a multi-point induction seat ring. The seat ring body 100 is rotatably connected to the toilet body through the hinge part 200. The actuator and the control module 300 are arranged on the toilet body, and the actuator can perform corresponding operations according to defined parameters.

[0032] A first induction area 120 and a second induction area 130 are provided on the seat ring body 100. The first induction area 120 is located at a position of the seat ring body 100 close to the hinge part 200, and the second induction area 130 is located at a position of the seat ring body 100 far from the hinge part 200. A plurality of first induction modules 121 are provided in the first induction area 120. The control module 300 is used to directly / indirectly receive the first induction signals of the first induction modules 121, and control the actuator to perform corresponding operations according to the first induction signals according to preset first defined parameters. At least one second induction module 131 is provided in the second induction area 130. The control module 300 is used to directly / indirectly receive the second induction signals of the second induction modules 131, and control the actuator to perform corresponding operations according to the second induction signals according to preset second defined parameters. The first defined parameters and the second defined parameters are different.

[0033] The first induction modules 121 are distributed on one side of the seat ring body 100; or, the first induction modules 121 are distributed on both sides of the seat ring body 100, and the first induction modules 121 are arranged in the first induction area 120 in a symmetric or asymmetric arrangement manner; the second induction module 131 is located at the front end of the seat ring body 100.

[0034] In one example, a second sensing module 131 is disposed within the second sensing area 130, at the first sensing point 132 as shown in the figure.

[0035] The second sensing module 131 includes a child sensing module. Since a child will sit on the front part of the seat ring when using the toilet, the child sensing module is disposed at the first sensing point 132. For example, if the first sensing module 121 is not triggered and only the child sensing module is triggered, then the control module 300 only receives the sensing signal of the child sensing module, and the actuator can perform corresponding operations according to the second defined parameter, where the second defined parameter is a fixed gear. The fixed gear means that the water temperature is at the lowest gear, the position of the spray nozzle of the spray rod is closest to the front end of the seat ring body 100, and the water pressure is at the lowest gear, to avoid the water pressure being too high or the water temperature causing burns to the child during cleaning.

[0036] In one example, a third sensing point 122, a fourth sensing point 123, a fifth sensing point 124, and a sixth sensing point 125 are provided within the first sensing area 120. First sensing modules 121 are disposed at the third sensing point 122, the fourth sensing point 123, the fifth sensing point 124, and the sixth sensing point 125. The first sensing modules 121 are disposed within the first sensing area 120 in a symmetric or asymmetric arrangement.

[0037] The first sensing signal includes the sensing positions and sensing sequences of multiple first sensing modules 121. For example, first sensing modules 121 are disposed at the third sensing point 122, the fourth sensing point 123, the fifth sensing point 124, and the sixth sensing point 125. When a user sits on the seat ring, assuming that the first sensing module 121 at the third sensing point 122 and the first sensing module 121 at the fifth sensing point 124 are triggered in sequence, then both the first sensing module 121 at the third sensing point 122 and the first sensing module 121 at the fifth sensing point 124 can transmit the user's sitting information to the controller in the control module 300, and the controller can perform logical operations to determine the position of the user's buttocks (such as the part that needs to be cleaned or dried) on the seat ring. Furthermore, the control module 300 controls the actuator to perform gear shifting according to the first sensing signal.

[0038] The following takes the actuator as the drying component and the control module 300 controls the drying position of the drying component according to the first induction signal as an example for illustration: Since each person has a different body shape, the positions of sitting on the seat ring body 100 are also different. When the drying component is turned on, the drying position is often fixed and the drying effect is not good, unable to align with the user's buttocks, or the user needs to continuously adjust the position on the seat ring body 100 to adapt to the drying component, resulting in cumbersome and insufficient experience. The drying component of this embodiment can expand and contract along the axial center line of the seat ring. By setting a plurality of first induction modules 121 on the seat ring body 100, the position of the user's buttocks on the seat ring body 100 is determined, and then it is controlled which appropriate position the drying component should move to, improving the user's sense of use. Of course, the wind direction, wind speed, wind temperature, etc. of the drying component can also be controlled.

[0039] The actuator may further include a water spraying component, a heating component, a urine test component, a heart rate detection component, an instant heating component, and a flushing component. The first defined parameter and the second defined parameter include. Among them, the parameters of the water spraying component are defined, which include the cleaning position, water pressure and water temperature; and / or, the parameters of the drying component are defined, which include the drying position, wind direction, wind speed, wind temperature; and / or, the parameters of the heating component are defined, which include the heating temperature of the seat ring body 100; and / or, the parameters of the urine test component are defined, which include the urine test and its information recording; and / or, the parameters of the heart rate detection component are defined, which include the heart rate detection and its information recording; and / or, the parameters of the instant heating component are defined, which include the temperature; and / or, the parameters of the flushing mechanism are defined, which include the flushing time and the flushing amount.

[0040] The first induction module 121 and the second induction module 131 are respectively connected in parallel with the control module 300. Among them, an induction adapter plate 150 is further provided on the seat ring body 100. The induction adapter plate 150 is electrically connected to the control module 300. The induction adapter plate 150 is used to receive and process the first induction signal of the first induction module 121 and / or the second induction signal of the second induction module 131. The first induction module 121 and the second induction module 131 are electrically connected to the control module 300 through the induction adapter plate 150, and can also reduce the number of wires connected to the control module 300. Since the space of the bushing hole on the hinge portion 200 is limited, if there are too many wires connected to the control module 300, it will not be able to pass through the bushing hole.

[0041] An inner cavity is provided in the seat ring body 100. Among them, the seat ring body 100 includes an upper cover 110 and a lower cover 111. The upper cover 110 and the lower cover 111 enclose to form the inner cavity. The first induction module 121, the second induction module 131, and the induction adapter plate 150 are arranged in the inner cavity. The control module 300 (located on the toilet body) is arranged outside the inner cavity. The induction adapter plate 150 is electrically connected to the control module 300 through a wire passing through the hinge portion 200. In other embodiments, the control module 300 can also be directly arranged in the inner cavity.

[0042] As Figure 2 shown, a second sensing point 140 is provided in the area between the first sensing area 120 and the second sensing area 130. A seating sensor is provided at the second sensing point 140, and the seating sensor is used to sense whether the user is sitting on the seat body 100. The first sensing module 121, the second sensing module 131, and the seating sensor can all be capacitive sensors or pressure sensors. The seating sensor can also control other functions, such as flushing after getting up, etc., to increase the diversity of the toilet functions.

[0043] An intelligent toilet is also proposed, which includes a toilet body, an actuator, and a seat ring with multi-point sensing. The actuator is arranged on the toilet body and performs corresponding operations according to defined parameters. The seat ring is hinged to the toilet body, and the seat ring is the above-mentioned seat ring with multi-point sensing.
