Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application and are not to be construed as limiting the present application.

The terms "first" and "second" are used solely to distinguish technical features and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or as implicitly specifying the number or order of the technical features indicated.

[0048] In the description of this application, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, and connecting should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0049] In the description of this application, reference to the terms "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "illustrative embodiments," "examples," "specific examples," or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of this application. In this specification, the schematic representations of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described can be combined in any appropriate manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0050] The following describes the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0051] refer to Figures 1 to 4 According to an embodiment of the present application, the sterilization device includes a sterilization lighting module 100 and a microswitch 200. The sterilization lighting module 100 includes a sterilization lamp 110 and an illumination lamp 120. The sterilization lamp 110 and the illumination lamp 120 are arranged adjacent to each other. The sterilization lamp 110 can be a UV lamp for emitting ultraviolet rays for sterilization, and the illumination lamp 120 can be an RGB lamp for providing illumination. Furthermore, the illumination lamp 120 and the sterilization lamp 110 emit light in the same direction to ensure that the light coverage of the illumination lamp 120 and the sterilization lamp 110 is substantially consistent. Furthermore, when the illumination lamp 120 is turned on, the light coverage of the illumination lamp 120 can indicate the sterilization area, making it easier for the user to more intuitively determine the sterilization area.

[0052] The microswitch 200 is electrically connected to the germicidal lighting module 100 and has a first conduction state and a second conduction state. The microswitch 200 is controlled to switch between the first and second conduction states. The germicidal lamp 110 is configured to be on for sterilization in the first conduction state and off in the second conduction state. The illuminating lamp 120 is configured to be on for illumination in the second conduction state and off in the first conduction state. Thus, in the first conduction state, the germicidal lamp 110 is on to emit ultraviolet light for sterilization, while the illuminating lamp 120 is off, which helps conserve energy. In the second conduction state, the illuminating lamp 120 is on to illuminate, while the germicidal lamp 110 is off. This allows users to more intuitively identify the sterilization area based on the light coverage of the illuminating lamp 120, thus preventing UV damage to the user while observing the sterilization area.

[0053] Specifically, the microswitch 200 includes a contact spring, a movable spring, a first contact, and a second contact. The contact spring compresses the movable spring, causing it to conduct electricity to one of the first and second contacts. When the movable spring is in contact with the first contact, the microswitch 200 is in a first conduction state. The germicidal lamp 110 turns on to emit ultraviolet light for sterilization, while the illuminating lamp 120 is turned off. When the movable spring is in contact with the second contact, the microswitch 200 is in a second conduction state. The illuminating lamp 120 illuminates and emits visible light to indicate the sterilization area, while the germicidal lamp 110 is turned off. This allows the user to intuitively determine the actual sterilization area of the germicidal lamp 110 and prevents damage to the human body caused by ultraviolet rays. This facilitates the user to appropriately adjust the illumination angles of the germicidal lamp 110 and the illuminating lamp 120 based on their observations, helping to eliminate sterilization blind spots and ensure the ultraviolet sterilization effectiveness of the germicidal lamp 110.

[0054] It should be noted that the lighting lamp 120 includes lighting beads, and the germicidal lamp 110 includes germicidal beads. The light emitted by the lighting lamp 120 diffuses within a certain angular range, with the lighting beads as its origin. Similarly, the light emitted by the germicidal lamp 110 diffuses within a certain angular range, with the germicidal beads as its origin (the ultraviolet light emitted by the germicidal lamp 110 is invisible). Thus, the light emission directions of the lighting lamp 120 and the germicidal lamp 110 are aligned. Furthermore, the alignment of the light emission directions of the lighting lamp 120 and the germicidal lamp 110 can also be understood as the fact that the lighting beads and the germicidal beads are positioned in the same direction, so that the range covered by the light of the lighting lamp 120 is substantially consistent with the range covered by the light of the germicidal lamp 110, thereby indicating the sterilization area and making it easier for the user to intuitively determine the sterilization area.

[0055] refer to Figure 4In other embodiments, the germicidal lamp 110 can also emit infrared rays for sterilization. Infrared rays primarily sterilize through a thermal effect and have strong penetrating power. Alternatively, the germicidal lamp 110 can simultaneously emit ultraviolet and infrared rays, combining ultraviolet and infrared sterilization to improve sterilization efficiency and effectiveness.

[0056] refer to Figure 4 In other embodiments, the sterilization lighting module 100 may include multiple sterilization lamps 110 and multiple lighting lamps 120. Sterilization through multiple sterilization lamps 110 is beneficial to further improve the sterilization efficiency, and multiple lighting lamps 120 can provide clearer lighting to more clearly indicate the sterilization area.

[0057] refer to Figures 4 to 7 In some embodiments, the germicidal lighting module 100 further includes a mounting body 130, which is provided with a mounting cavity 131 and a mounting through-hole 132. The mounting through-hole 132 communicates with the mounting cavity 131. The germicidal lamp 110 and the illuminating lamp 120 each include a light-emitting end and a connection end. Part of the germicidal lamp 110 and part of the illuminating lamp 120 are located in the mounting through-hole 132, with the connection end facing the mounting cavity 131, and the light-emitting end exposed in the mounting through-hole 132 (i.e., located outside the mounting cavity 131). The germicidal lamp 110 and the illuminating lamp 120 fill the mounting through-hole 132, blocking the connection between the mounting cavity 131 and the outside world. The connection end of the germicidal lamp 110 and the illuminating lamp 120 is the power supply side. Positioning the connection end toward the mounting cavity 131 can block the power supply side, reduce the risk of electric shock, and improve the safety of the sterilization device.

[0058] Specifically, Figure 5 and Figure 6 The dotted lines in the figure represent the divergence of light. Mounting cavity 131 is used to accommodate power supply wires or circuits. The germicidal lamp 110 and the illuminating lamp 120 fill mounting hole 132, ensuring the secure installation of the germicidal lamp 110 and the illuminating lamp 120. This also seals mounting cavity 131 at the location of mounting hole 132, preventing contaminants such as water stains from the external environment from entering mounting cavity 131, thereby ensuring the safety of the power supply to the sterilization device. Furthermore, the light-emitting ends of both the germicidal lamp 110 and the illuminating lamp 120 are exposed through mounting hole 132, namely, at the end of mounting hole 132 facing away from mounting cavity 131.

[0059] It should be noted that the shape of the mounting hole 132 can be adapted to the shape setting of the germicidal lamp 110 and the lighting lamp 120. For example, when the germicidal lamp 110 and the lighting lamp 120 are located in the same mounting hole 132, the germicidal lamp 110 and the lighting lamp 120 are abutted to ensure that the two are arranged adjacent to each other. Furthermore, the light coverage range of the germicidal lamp 110 and the lighting lamp 120 is basically the same.

[0060] Alternatively, a plurality of mounting through holes 132 may be provided, the number of mounting through holes 132 corresponding to the total number of germicidal lamps 110 and lighting lamps 120, the mounting through holes 132 being arranged adjacent to each other, and the germicidal lamp 110 and lighting lamp 120 being respectively installed in adjacent mounting through holes 132 to shorten the distance between the germicidal lamp 110 and the lighting lamp 120, which is beneficial to ensuring the overlap of the illumination range of the germicidal lamp 110 and the lighting lamp 120.

[0061] refer to Figure 4 There is a slight deviation in the actual installation positions of the germicidal lamp 110 and the lighting lamp 120, resulting in a slight deviation between the germicidal coverage range of the germicidal lamp 110 and the illumination coverage range of the lighting lamp 120. The illumination coverage ranges of the germicidal lamp 110 and the lighting lamp 120 are basically the same, which can be understood as the germicidal coverage range and the illumination coverage range having an overlapping area, and the overlapping area accounts for a certain percentage of the germicidal coverage range or the illumination coverage range. For example, the overlapping area accounts for 95% or more of the germicidal coverage range or the illumination coverage range. It should be understood that the larger the above overlap value, the more accurately the lighting lamp 120 can indicate the germicidal coverage range.

[0062] refer to Figures 4 to 7 In some embodiments, the germicidal lighting module 100 further includes a control component 140, which is connected to the mounting body 130 and is located in the mounting cavity 131. The control component 140 is electrically connected to the microswitch 200, and the germicidal lamp 110 and the lighting lamp 120 are both electrically connected to the control component 140. The control component 140 is configured to light up the germicidal lamp 110 and turn off the lighting lamp 120 in a first conduction state, and to light up the lighting lamp 120 and turn off the germicidal lamp 110 in a second conduction state. The control component 140 is located in the mounting cavity 131, and the cavity wall of the mounting cavity 131 effectively blocks the influence of external pollutants such as water stains on the control component 140, which is beneficial to ensuring the stability of the electronic control.

[0063] Specifically, users can burn different programs into the control unit 140 according to their needs, and then use the control unit 140 to achieve various forms of control over the germicidal lamp 110 and the lighting lamp 120. For example, the control unit 140 can delay the shutdown of the germicidal lamp 110 and the lighting lamp 120, and change the brightness and color of the lighting lamp 120.

[0064] It should be noted that the control unit 140 is a feedback loop component widely used in industrial control applications, such as a programmable memory, an integrated main control board, etc., which generally stores instructions for performing operations such as logical operations, sequential control, timing, counting, and arithmetic operations, and controls various types of mechanical structures or production processes through digital or analog input and output. The embodiment of the present application uses the control unit 140 to achieve mutual cooperation between the germicidal lamp 110 and the lighting lamp 120, ensuring that one of them is lit and the other is off, as well as changes in the lighting delay, lighting brightness, and lighting color. This is something that can be achieved by those skilled in the art based on the existing functions of the control unit 140, and its control principles and control methods are not detailed here.

[0065] refer to Figures 8 to 10 In some embodiments, the sterilization device further includes a control switch 300, which is electrically connected to the microswitch 200. The control switch 300 is configured to connect to a power source to control the power supply to the microswitch 200. When the control switch 300 is turned on, the current provided by the power source can be directed to the microswitch 200, and the sterilization device activates the sterilization function. When the control switch 300 is turned off, the power supply to the microswitch 200 is blocked, and the sterilization device does not have a sterilization function. The provision of the control switch 300 facilitates maintenance of the sterilization device by staff, and facilitates keeping the sterilization device disconnected when not in use for long periods of time without having to modify the external circuit, making it more suitable for installation in different circuit environments.

[0066] refer to Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, the germicidal lighting module 100 further includes a mounting body 130, which includes a connecting portion 133 and a mounting wall 134. The germicidal lamp 110 and the illuminating lamp 120 are both connected to the mounting wall 134. The connecting portion 133 has a connecting plane 1331, and the mounting wall 134 has a mounting plane 1341. The connecting plane 1331 and the mounting plane 1341 form a first angle, and the connecting plane 1331 is configured to be installed parallel to a horizontal plane. The inclined arrangement between the connecting portion 133 and the mounting wall 134 facilitates the tilted installation of the germicidal lamp 110 and the illuminating lamp 120 without requiring a pre-reserved installation position on the toilet bowl that is tilted relative to the horizontal plane. This allows the germicidal lamp 110 and the illuminating lamp 120 to better illuminate the interior of the toilet bowl 410, facilitating the adaptability of the germicidal lighting module 100 to different toilet bowl types.

[0067] Specifically, refer to Figure 6The mounting wall 134 is located on the side of the mounting body 130 facing the toilet bowl 410. The germicidal lamp 110 and the lighting lamp 120 are installed on the mounting wall 134 to ensure that the light emission directions of the germicidal lamp 110 and the lighting lamp 120 are toward the toilet bowl 410. The germicidal lamp 110 includes germicidal lamp beads, and the lighting lamp 120 includes lighting lamp beads. Both the germicidal lamp beads and the lighting lamp beads are facing the inside of the toilet bowl 410.

[0068] It should be noted that the reference Figure 4 The first angle between the connecting plane 1331 and the mounting plane 1341 can be any angle between 25° and 35°. For example, the angle between the connecting plane 1331 and the mounting plane 1341 can be any value between 25°, 27°, 29°, 30°, 31°, 33° and 35°. During installation, the staff can select the mounting body 130 with different first angles according to the specific shape of the toilet bowl 410, the height of the toilet body 400, etc., to ensure that the germicidal lamp 110 and the lighting lamp 120 cover the interior of the toilet bowl 410.

[0069] refer to Figures 1 to 11 According to an embodiment of the present application, the smart cover includes a cover assembly 500 and a sterilization device according to any of the above embodiments. The sterilization device is connected to the cover assembly 500. The smart cover has a closed state and an open state, and the two states can be switched by opening and closing the cover assembly 500. In the closed state, the cover assembly 500 abuts the microswitch 200, so that the microswitch 200 is in the first conduction state. At this time, the germicidal lamp 110 is turned on for sterilization. The cover assembly 500 covers the toilet bowl 410, which can block the spread of ultraviolet rays, thereby protecting the human body from being damaged by the ultraviolet rays and / or infrared rays emitted by the germicidal lamp 110. At the same time, the lighting lamp 120 is turned off, which is beneficial for saving energy.

[0070] refer to Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the cover assembly 500 includes a cover body 510 and a connecting structure 520. The connecting structure 520 includes a curved portion 521 and a straight portion 522. One end of the curved portion 521 is connected to the cover body 510, and the other end of the curved portion 521 is connected to the straight portion 522. The straight portion 522 is used to be rotatably connected to the toilet body 400. The curved portion 521 and the straight portion 522 jointly define an avoidance area 523. The avoidance area 523 is used to avoid the toilet when the connecting structure 520 rotates relative to the toilet body 400, which is beneficial to reducing the space required for the cover body 510 to rotate relative to the toilet body 400, making the structure of the toilet more compact.

[0071] Specifically, the toilet has a protective shell, which defines a protective cavity with the toilet body 400. The micro switch 200 is located in the protective cavity. The protective shell is provided with an opening connected to the protective cavity. The connecting structure 520 extends into the protective cavity through the opening. The avoidance area 523 is used to avoid the protective shell when the connecting structure 520 rotates relative to the toilet body 400, which is beneficial to reducing the size of the opening, thereby providing better protection for the micro switch 200.

[0072] In the closed state, the straight portion 522 abuts against the micro switch 200, so that the micro switch 200 is in the first conductive state. In the open state, the straight portion 522 loses its abutment against the micro switch 200, so that the micro switch 200 is in the second conductive state.

[0073] It should be noted that the curved portion 521 can be an arc with a center, and the straight portion 522 extends toward the center of the arc. The straight portion 522 and the curved portion 521 together define an avoidance area 523 for avoiding the protective shell when the cover assembly 500 rotates.

[0074] refer to Figures 1 to 11 According to an embodiment of the present application, the toilet includes a toilet body 400 and the smart cover in any of the above embodiments. The toilet body 400 is provided with a toilet bowl 410. The smart cover is connected to the toilet body 400. The light emission directions of the sterilization lamp 110 and the lighting lamp 120 are both set toward the toilet bowl 410. The sterilization lamp 110 is used to sterilize the toilet bowl 410, and the lighting lamp 120 is used to provide lighting for the toilet bowl 410.

[0075] Specifically, the cover assembly 500 can rotate around an axis relative to the toilet body 400 to switch between a closed state and an open state. The cover assembly 500 covers the toilet bowl 410 in the closed state and exposes the toilet bowl 410 in the open state. In the open state, there is a gap between the cover assembly 500 and the micro switch 200, and the micro switch 200 is in the second conduction state. The lighting lamp 120 is lit to provide lighting. The user can determine the sterilization area of the germicidal lamp 110 according to the illumination range of the lighting lamp 120. When it is found that the sterilization area is tilted relative to the toilet bowl 410, or there is a blind spot, it is convenient for the staff to promptly discover and adjust the sterilization area. At the same time as the lighting lamp 120 is lit, the germicidal lamp 110 is disconnected and stops sterilization to avoid damage to the human body when using the toilet.

[0076] It should be noted that Figure 11 The dotted lines in the diagram represent the divergence of light rays.

[0077] refer to Figures 1 to 5In some embodiments, the sterilization device includes multiple sterilization lighting modules 100. Each sterilization lighting module 100 is connected to the toilet body 400. Each germicidal lamp 110 and each illuminating lamp 120 emits light toward the bottom of the toilet bowl 410. The germicidal lamps 110 are used to sterilize the surface of the toilet bowl 410, while the illuminating lamps 120 illuminate the interior of the toilet bowl 410, allowing users to visually observe the sterilization area. The toilet body 400 is provided with the toilet bowl 410 at the front. The sterilization lighting modules 100 are installed on the rear side of the toilet bowl 410. The sterilization lighting modules 100 are spaced apart to avoid users and expand the coverage of the sterilization lighting modules 100, ensuring a sterilization effect.

[0078] refer to Figures 1 to 5 In other embodiments, the toilet bowl 410 is configured to be cross-sectioned by a symmetry plane to form two symmetrical parts, and at least two sterilization lighting modules 100 are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the symmetry plane, which is beneficial to expanding the coverage of the sterilization lighting module 100, effectively avoiding the existence of sterilization dead corners in the toilet bowl 410, and ensuring the sterilization effect.

[0079] Specifically, refer to Figures 1 to 11 After the toilet body 400 is fixedly installed, it has four directions: front, back, left, and right. The front end of the toilet body 400 is the toilet bowl 410, and the rear end of the toilet body 400 is the water tank. The aforementioned symmetry plane is perpendicular to the horizontal plane and parallel to the front-to-back direction. Along the left-right direction of the toilet body 400, the symmetry plane intersects the middle position of the toilet bowl 410, dividing the toilet bowl 410 into two symmetrical parts. At least two sterilizing lighting modules 100 are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the symmetry plane. It should be understood that the number of symmetrically arranged sterilizing lighting modules 100 can be an even number such as four, six, or eight, or an odd number such as three, five, or seven. It is sufficient that at least two sterilizing lighting modules 100 are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the symmetry plane. The positions of the other sterilizing lighting modules 100 can be adaptively adjusted as needed to ensure complete coverage of the surface of the toilet bowl 410 and ensure a sterilization effect.

[0080] It should be noted that the aforementioned plane of symmetry is an imaginary plane and cannot be observed by the user while using the toilet. Furthermore, if the toilet bowl 410 is an asymmetrical structure, the plane of symmetry is a plane perpendicular to the horizontal plane and parallel to the front-to-back direction of the toilet body 400. The distance from the leftmost side of the toilet bowl 410 to the plane of symmetry is equal to the distance from the rightmost side of the toilet bowl 410 to the plane of symmetry. Therefore, the aforementioned plane of symmetry can be understood as the midplane of the toilet bowl, which is perpendicular to the horizontal plane and perpendicular to the left-right direction of the toilet bowl.

[0081] refer to Figures 1 to 5In other embodiments, the sterilization device includes multiple germicidal lighting modules 100, each of which includes a mounting body 130, multiple germicidal lamps 110, and multiple illuminating lamps 120. Both the multiple germicidal lamps 110 and the multiple illuminating lamps 120 are connected to the mounting body 130, and the germicidal lamps 110 and illuminating lamps 120 connected to the same mounting body 130 emit light in the same direction. The positions of the germicidal lighting modules 100 can also be asymmetrical. During installation, the number and installation positions of the germicidal lighting modules 100 can be adjusted based on the size and specific shape of the space within the toilet bowl 410.

[0082] refer to Figure 11 In some embodiments, the toilet body 400 is further provided with a flush port 420, which is connected to the toilet bowl 410. The smart cover is further provided with a mounting portion 430, and the sterilization lighting module 100 is connected to the mounting portion 430. In the vertical direction, the mounting portion 430 is higher than the flush port. Thus, the sterilization lighting module 100 is higher than the flush port 420. The flush port 420 is used to flush water into the toilet bowl 410 to clean the toilet bowl 410. The sterilization lighting module 100 is higher than the flush port 420, which can prevent the sterilization lighting module 100 from being contaminated by water and ensure the normal operation of the sterilization lighting module 100.

[0083] It should be noted that the mounting portion 430 may be located on the rear side of the toilet bowl 410 .

[0084] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the light emitting directions of the germicidal lamp 110 and the lighting lamp 120 are both toward the toilet bowl 410. The germicidal lamp 110 includes a first light-emitting surface, and the lighting lamp 120 includes a second light-emitting surface. The first light-emitting surface and the second light-emitting surface are arranged parallel to each other, and there is a second angle between the first light-emitting surface and the horizontal plane. It should be understood that the second light-emitting surface also has a second angle with the horizontal plane. The second angle a is 25° to 35°, or the second angle a can also be any value in any range of 25° to 27°, 27° to 29°, 29° to 31°, 31° to 33° and 33° to 35°. For example, the second angle a can be any value of 25°, 27°, 29°, 30°, 31°, 33° and 35°. By limiting the light-emitting angle range of the sterilizing lamp 110 and the lighting lamp 120 through the second angle, it is possible to avoid the second angle being too small, which makes it difficult for the sterilization range and the lighting range to cover the toilet bowl 410, and to avoid the second angle being too large, which causes ultraviolet rays to diverge outside the toilet bowl 410.

[0085] It should be noted that the first light emitting surface and the second light emitting surface can be planes, and the second included angle is a (refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6), the first angle and the second angle may be equal.

[0086] The following is a further description of the toilet in conjunction with the usage scenarios of the toilet in this application:

[0087] refer to Figures 1 to 11 After the toilet is installed, the control switch 300 is turned on to activate the sterilization function of the sterilization device, so that power is supplied to the microswitch 200. When the user uses the toilet, the cover body 510 is lifted, and the toilet enters the open state. The cover body 510 drives the connecting structure 520 to abut against the microswitch 200, placing the microswitch 200 in the second conductive state. Current is transmitted from the microswitch 200 to the control component 140. The control component 140 controls the lighting lamp 120 to light up and the sterilization lamp 110 to turn off according to the current state of the microswitch 200. The lighting lamp 120 illuminates to provide illumination for the user and indicate the sterilization area. When the user has finished using the toilet, the cover body 510 is lowered to cover the toilet bowl 410, and the toilet enters the closed state. The connecting structure 520 loses contact with the microswitch 200, and the microswitch 200 switches to the first conductive state. The current is transmitted from the microswitch 200 to the control component 140. The control component 140 controls the germicidal lamp 110 to turn on and the lighting lamp 120 to turn off according to the current state of the microswitch 200. The germicidal lamp 110 is used to emit ultraviolet rays and / or infrared rays to cover the toilet bowl 410 for sterilization. Turning off the lighting lamp 120 is beneficial to saving energy.
