Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of intelligent toilets, and particularly relates to an intelligent temperature-adjustable toilet cover and an intelligent toilet. Background Art

[0002] A thermostatic toilet seat is an add-on device for smart toilets, typically equipped with a built-in heater and temperature sensor. It regulates the seat temperature, allowing users to choose a temperature based on their needs, providing a more comfortable experience. Like other smart toilets, thermostatic toilet seats also offer other intelligent features, such as automatic sensing, automatic cleaning, and remote control.

[0003] The manual control panel used for remote control on traditional smart thermostatic toilet lids is exposed and fixed on the toilet lid. The operating panel that is exposed for a long time may be accidentally touched by children, resulting in unnecessary operation or safety risks. The exposed panel is prone to accumulate dust and dirt and requires regular cleaning, which may be troublesome. The exposed panel may affect the overall aesthetics of the toilet, especially for families who pursue simple design. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to make up for the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a smart temperature-adjustable toilet lid and a smart toilet.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A smart temperature-controlled toilet seat comprises a mounting box, a seat ring rotatably mounted on the mounting box and having a built-in heater and temperature sensor, and a cover plate. The mounting box is provided with a telescopic unit for pushing a manual control panel to extend or retract from the mounting box. The outer end of the manual control panel is provided with an automatic sensing block exposed from the mounting box.

[0007] When the user's hand stays in front of the automatic sensing block for more than the set time, a signal will be sent to the control unit. After receiving the signal, the control unit will activate the telescopic unit and push the manual control panel out of the installation box;

[0008] When the user completes the operation, the user manually operates the button on the manual control panel or the touch screen to send a signal to the control unit, and the control unit activates the telescopic unit to push the manual control panel to automatically retract into the installation box.

[0009] Preferably, the telescopic unit includes a screw linear module installed in the installation box and a limit switch for detecting the extension and retraction positions of the manual control panel;

[0010] The rear end bottom of the manual control panel is fixedly connected to the movable slide on the screw linear module, and the manual control panel is driven to extend or retract from the installation box through the screw linear module.

[0011] Preferably, the installation box is provided with brackets located on both sides of the screw linear module and slide rails provided on the inner sides of the two brackets and cooperating with the slide grooves at the bottom of the manual control panel for guiding the sliding;

[0012] The manual control panel slides along the guide rails during the process of extending from or retracting into the installation box.

[0013] Preferably, two limit switches are provided and are respectively mounted on the bracket at both ends of the slide rail. When the manual control panel reaches the position of the limit switch, the limit switch will send a signal to the control unit to stop the movement of the screw linear module.

[0014] The entire scaling process is as follows:

[0015] When the user's hand stays in front of the automatic sensing block for more than the set time (5S), the control unit receives a signal and starts the motor on the lead screw linear module.

[0016] The motor rotates through a transmission mechanism (such as a lead screw on a lead screw linear module) to push the manual control panel to slide out along the guide rail.

[0017] When the manual control panel reaches the limit of the extended position, the limit switch triggers and sends a signal to the control unit to stop the movement of the motor, ensuring that the control panel does not extend too far.

[0018] After the user completes the operation, the control unit can receive the user's retraction instruction, or automatically start the retraction process after a certain period of time.

[0019] The motor rotates in the opposite direction and retracts the control panel through the transmission mechanism.

[0020] When the control panel reaches the limit of the retracted position, the limit switch is triggered again to stop the motor movement and complete the entire extension and retraction process.

[0021] Preferably, the control unit is an electric control board located in an installation box and integrated with a microprocessor and a circuit board.

[0022] Preferably, the automatic sensing block uses an infrared sensor or a microwave sensor to realize the sensing function.

[0023] A smart toilet comprises a toilet body and the above-mentioned smart temperature-adjustable toilet cover, wherein the smart temperature-adjustable toilet cover is fixed to the toilet body via a mounting box thereon.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects and advantages of the utility model are:

[0025] In this intelligent thermostatic toilet lid and intelligent toilet, when a user's hand remains in front of the infrared or microwave sensor for more than a set time (5 seconds), the sensor triggers a signal to the control unit, which then activates the linear actuator to extend the manual control panel from the installation box. After the user completes the operation, the control unit sends a signal to the control unit via the buttons on the manual control panel or the touch screen, which activates the telescopic unit to retract the manual control panel into the installation box. Limit switches are located at both ends of the slide rail to detect the extended and retracted positions of the manual control panel. When the control panel reaches the limit position, the limit switches send a signal to the control unit to stop the linear actuator. The automatic retraction function reduces the risk of misoperation and child contact.

[0026] The temperature sensor detects the temperature of the toilet seat and feeds the data back to the control unit. The control unit adjusts the heating power of the heater based on the temperature data to keep the seat temperature constant or adjust it according to the temperature set by the user. Temperature adjustment ensures user comfort and prevents the seat from overheating. The control unit (integrated microprocessor and circuit board) is the brain of the entire smart toilet seat, responsible for command processing and component control.

[0032] 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.

[0033] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 To further explain this application,

[0034] The present application discloses an intelligent temperature-controlled toilet seat, comprising a mounting box 1, a seat ring 2 rotatably mounted on the mounting box 1 and having a built-in heater and temperature sensor, and a cover plate 3. The mounting box 1 is provided with a telescopic unit for pushing a manual control panel 4 to extend or retract from the mounting box 1. The manual control panel 4 is provided with an automatic sensing block 5 exposed from the mounting box 1 at its outer end.

[0035] When the user's hand stays in front of the automatic sensing block 5 for more than a set time, a signal is sent to the control unit 13. After receiving the signal, the control unit 13 activates the telescopic unit and pushes the manual control panel 4 out of the installation box 1.

[0036] When the user completes the operation, the user manually operates the button on the manual control panel 4 or the touch screen to send a signal to the control unit 13 , and the control unit 13 activates the telescopic unit to push the manual control panel 4 to automatically retract into the installation box 1 .

[0037] Compared with the manual operation panel that is exposed for a long time, when the user's hand stays in front of the automatic sensing block 5 for more than the set time, it will automatically send a signal to the control unit 13. After receiving the signal, the control unit 13 activates the telescopic unit to push the manual control panel 4 to extend or retract from the installation box 1.

[0038] Since the manual control panel 4 automatically retracts into the installation box 1, it can prevent the user from accidentally touching other areas during operation, thereby reducing the possibility of misoperation and improving user safety. This makes cleaning and maintenance easier. Through the automatic sensing setting, the user does not need to keep pressing the manual control panel 4, simplifying the operation process and making it easier for users to get started.

[0039] The manual control panel 4 will automatically retract into the installation box 1 to prevent children from touching the manual control panel 4 and preventing children from touching and operating it incorrectly, thereby reducing the possibility of accidents or incorrect operations.

[0040] The manual control panel 4 is equipped with buttons or a touchscreen that allows the user to manually operate toilet lid functions such as flushing, drying, and deodorizing. The automatic sensor block 5 is a sensing area on the manual control panel 4. When the user's hand remains in front of the sensor block for a set time (5 seconds), it sends a signal to the control unit 13. The control unit 13 is connected to the manual control panel 4, the automatic sensor block 5, and the retractable unit via wireless signals. This wireless connection uses wireless communication technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or ZigBee.

[0041] The temperature sensor detects the current temperature of the toilet seat 2 and feeds this information back to the control unit 13. The control unit 13 adjusts the heating power based on the temperature sensor data to maintain a constant temperature or adjust it to a user-set temperature. A heater, located within the toilet seat 2, heats the seat 2. The heater, typically comprised of a resistance wire or other heating element, is controlled by the control unit 13 to adjust the seat 2 temperature.

[0042] The temperature sensor feeds back the detected seat ring 2 temperature information to the control unit 13 , and the control unit 13 adjusts the heating power of the heater according to the information to maintain a constant temperature of the seat ring 2 or adjust it according to the temperature set by the user on the manual control panel 4 .

[0043] =The telescopic unit includes a screw linear module 6 installed in the installation box 1 and a limit switch 7 for detecting the extension and retraction positions of the manual control panel 4;

[0044] The rear end bottom of the manual control panel 4 is fixedly connected to the movable slide 8 on the screw linear module 6, and the manual control panel 4 is driven to extend or retract from the installation box 1 through the screw linear module 6.

[0045] The installation box 1 is provided with brackets 9 on both sides of the screw linear module 6 and a slide rail 11 provided inside the two brackets 9 and cooperating with the slide groove 10 at the bottom of the manual control panel 4 for guiding the sliding.

[0046] The manual control panel 4 slides along the guide rail 11 during the process of extending from or retracting into the installation box 1 .

[0047] There are two limit switches 7 which are respectively mounted on the bracket 9 at both ends of the slide rail 11. When the manual control panel 4 reaches the position of the limit switch 7, the limit switch 7 will send a signal to the control unit 13 to stop the movement of the screw linear module 6.

[0048] The entire scaling process is as follows:

[0049] When the user's hand stays in front of the automatic sensing block 5 for more than a set time (5S), the control unit 13 receives a signal and starts the motor on the lead screw linear module 6.

[0050] The motor rotates through a transmission mechanism (such as a lead screw on the lead screw linear module 6 ), pushing the manual control panel 4 to slide and extend along the guide rail 11 .

[0051] When the manual control panel 4 reaches the limit of the extended position, the limit switch 7 is triggered and sends a signal to the control unit 13 to stop the movement of the motor to ensure that the control panel does not extend too much.

[0052] After the user completes the operation, the control unit 13 may receive a retraction instruction from the user, or automatically start the retraction process after a certain period of time.

[0053] The motor rotates in the opposite direction and retracts the control panel through the transmission mechanism.

[0054] When the control panel reaches the limit of the retracted position, the limit switch 7 is triggered again to stop the motor movement, completing the entire extension and retraction process.

[0055] Through the action of the limit switch 7, the position control of the manual control panel 4 during the extension and retraction process can be ensured to avoid damage or safety hazards caused by excessive extension or retraction. The design of automatic sensing extension and manual operation retraction makes it more convenient and quick for users to use, and improves the user experience. The use of the lead screw linear module 6 provides precise displacement control, making the extension and retraction of the manual control panel 4 very smooth and stable. The entire extension and retraction process is automatically controlled by the control unit 13, which embodies the intelligent design.

[0056] The control unit 13 is an electric control board located in the installation box 1 and integrated with a microprocessor and a circuit board.

[0057] The control unit 13 is the brain of the smart toilet lid, which controls the various functions of the toilet lid through a built-in microprocessor. It is responsible for receiving the user's operating instructions, processing these instructions, and then controlling other components to perform the corresponding functions.

[0058] The automatic sensing block 5 uses an infrared sensor or a microwave sensor to realize the sensing function.

[0059] The infrared sensor detects infrared radiation emitted by the human body. When a user's hand or other object approaches the infrared sensor, the sensor detects changes in infrared radiation, triggering a signal to the control unit 13. Infrared sensors are generally sensitive to human body temperature and can accurately identify the presence of a human body.

[0060] The microwave sensor reacts to the movement of an object by sending and receiving microwave signals to detect the presence and movement of the object. When the user's hand moves within the detection range of the microwave sensor, the sensor will capture these changes and send a signal to the control unit 13.

[0061] A smart toilet comprises a body 12 and the above-mentioned smart temperature-adjustable toilet cover, wherein the smart temperature-adjustable toilet cover is fixed on the body 12 via a mounting box 1 thereon.

[0062] The intelligent temperature-controlled toilet lid and the automatic retraction function of the smart toilet reduce the risk of misoperation and child contact. The temperature regulation ensures user comfort and prevents the seat 2 from overheating. The automatic sensing extension reduces the need for user contact and operation, providing a convenient experience. The manual control panel 4 allows the user to directly adjust the function of the toilet lid. The automatic retraction function makes cleaning and maintenance easier and reduces the exposure of parts. The wireless communication technology is used to achieve the connection between the control unit 13 and each component, showing an intelligent design.

[0063] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
