[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 To further explain this application,

[0028] The present application discloses a urine collection device, comprising an annular seat 1, a cylindrical trough 3, a urine detection probe 7, and a water spray head 8. The annular seat 1 is driven by a motor to rotate horizontally and drive a urine collection trough 2, which is rotatably connected to the annular seat 1, to extend into the toilet bowl. The cylindrical trough 3 is fixed to the end of the urine collection trough 2 and is rotatably connected to the annular seat 1. A gear ring 5 is fixed on the outer side of the end of the cylindrical trough 3 and meshes with a gear 4. A drive motor 6 that drives the gear 4 rotates the gear 4, thereby driving the gear ring 5, the cylindrical trough 3, and the urine collection trough 2 to flip.

[0029] The urine detection probe 7 is used to contact the urine in the urine collecting tank 2, convert the chemical composition or physical properties of the urine into electrical signals and transmit these signals to the detection equipment for analysis for health monitoring; the water spray head 8 is used to flush the urine collecting tank 2 that has collected urine.

[0030] Driven by the motor, the annular seat 1 can drive the urine collecting trough 2 connected to it to rotate horizontally, and then extend the urine collecting trough 2 into the toilet trough to collect urine. The entire urine collection process can be carried out automatically without manual intervention, which improves efficiency. During collection, the opening of the urine collecting trough 2 is upward, and the cylindrical trough 3 is fixed at the end of the urine collecting trough 2, and can be flipped through the gear 4 and the ring gear 5 connected to it. The driving motor 6 rotates through the gear 4, and then drives the ring gear 5 and the cylindrical trough 3 to flip, so that the opening of the urine collecting trough 2 can be upward or downward, which is convenient for urine collection and discharge. The water spray head 8 first flushes the urine collecting trough 2 with the opening upward, and then flushes the urine collecting trough 2 with the opening downward, which can effectively clean the collection trough, keep the collection trough clean, and improve the comfort of use for the next use.

[0031] The urine collecting trough 2 is a semicircular channel, and one end of the urine collecting trough 2 is blocked by a semicircular plate 9, and the other end is blocked by a cylindrical trough 3. The structure is more compact and easy to install and store.

[0032] The drive motor 6 is fixed to the annular base 1, and the axle on the gear 4 is in driving connection with the output shaft of the drive motor 6 and is rotatably connected to the annular base 1. This layout can reduce the number of components, simplify the mechanical structure, and at the same time bring the motor closer to the annular base 1, helping to reduce the size of the entire device.

[0033] The fixed end of the urine detection probe 7 is fixed on the cylindrical groove 3 and the urine detection probe 7 extends into the urine collecting groove 2.

[0034] The fixed end of the water spray head 8 is fixed on the cylindrical groove 3 and the water spray head 8 extends into the urine collecting groove 2 and is located above the urine detection probe 7 .

[0035] The urine detection probe 7 and the water spray head 8 are both fixed to the cylindrical groove 3 and extend into the urine collection tank 2. This design allows the probe and the water spray head 8 to be closer to the urine, improving the detection and cleaning effects. At the same time, the water spray head 8 is located above the urine detection probe 7, so it can clean the urine detection probe 7 while cleaning the collection tank.

[0036] Preferably, the annular seat 1 is provided with a protective cover 10 covering the outer side of the gear 4 and the ring gear 5, and a mounting seat 11 is fixedly provided on the bottom of the protective cover 10 and the annular seat 1, and the mounting seat 11 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor that drives the annular seat 1 to turn horizontally.

[0037] A protective cover 10 is provided on the annular seat 1 to protect the gear 4 and the ring gear 5 from external damage and also increase the safety of operation. The mounting base 11 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor that drives the annular seat 1 to turn horizontally, ensuring the stability and safety of the motor.

[0038] A smart toilet seat comprises a mounting box 12, a seat ring 13 and a cover plate 14 rotatably mounted on the mounting box 12, and the above-mentioned urine collecting device.

[0039] The installation box 12 is provided with a storage tank 15 for storing the recovered urine collecting tank 2 , and a motor for driving the annular seat 1 to turn horizontally is fixed in the installation box 12 .

[0040] By opening a storage slot 15 on the installation box 12, the urine collection tank 2 can be conveniently stored, so that the internal space of the entire smart toilet cover can be used more efficiently. The urine collection device and the smart toilet cover are designed as a whole, which not only saves space, but also makes the overall design of the equipment more simple and beautiful. The integrated design means that users can conveniently collect urine while using the smart toilet cover without preparing other equipment, thereby improving the convenience of use.

[0041] Since the urine collection device is located on the smart toilet cover, it helps to keep the urine collection device clean, because the water spray head 8 can be used to flush the collection tank to keep the equipment clean. The motor that drives the horizontal rotation of the annular seat 1 is fixed in the installation box 12, making the position of the motor more concealed and improving the aesthetics of the equipment.

[0042] Compared with traditional smart toilet lids, smart toilet lids with built-in urine collection devices have the following advantages: the device can automatically complete urine collection without manual operation by the user, which improves the convenience and hygiene of use. Because the collection device and the toilet lid are designed as one, no additional space is required to place a separate urine collection device. The appearance and function of the device are more unified. Users can conveniently collect urine while using the smart toilet lid. The design of the collection device allows the use of a water spray head 8 for cleaning, thereby keeping the equipment clean and reducing the possibility of bacterial growth. The urine detection probe 7 equipped with the urine collection device can monitor the chemical composition or physical properties of urine, which is helpful for user health monitoring.
