Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of toilets, in particular to an electronic toilet device. Background Art

[0002] Electronic toilets sold in Europe are equipped with a dual water supply system. This system is divided by function: one water source is connected to a wall-mounted cistern for cleaning the toilet's ceramic body; the other water source is directly supplied to the internal sanitary cleaning device for personal hygiene. The corresponding components must strictly comply with the European standard EN1717, and the design must include overflow protection mechanisms that meet regulatory requirements.

[0003] To meet the requirements of the EN1717 standard, electronic toilets currently on the market are equipped with an independent water tank within the sanitary cleaning device, which is specifically responsible for supplying water for local body washing. As product design trends towards thinner and more streamlined designs, manufacturers, while pursuing aesthetics and space optimization, have adapted the overflow structure, placing the overflow port on the side wall of the sanitary cleaning device and ensuring it is below the top level of the toilet's ceramic body. However, this design comes with potential safety hazards: if the liquid level detection element built into the water tank fails, it may not be able to effectively limit the water level in the water tank from rising to the safe upper limit, thereby triggering the overflow mechanism and causing the water to be discharged directly onto the bathroom floor through the overflow port. In extreme cases, it may even cause large-scale water accumulation, resulting in unnecessary economic losses.

[0004] Therefore, the key challenge facing the industry is to develop and implement a solution that balances innovative design and practicality, ensuring that electronic toilets can meet modern aesthetic and space-saving requirements, while also strictly adhering to safety standards such as EN1717 to ensure that users can fully enjoy the safety and reliability of the product during use.

[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] The electronic toilet system integrates multiple advanced technologies and user-friendly designs to create an efficient, convenient, and safe bathroom solution. The device includes a mounting frame 1, a water tank 2, a toilet body 3, and a sanitary cleaning device 4. The mounting frame 1, serving as the solid foundation of the entire system, is constructed from durable materials and features a scientifically designed design to ensure the device can be securely fixed to a wall or other supporting structure while adapting to installation requirements and pipeline layouts in diverse environments. The water tank 2's housing 21 is equipped with water supply and drainage mechanisms. An opening 24 is located at the front of the housing to facilitate maintenance personnel. The first water inlet valve 22, which can include components such as an inlet valve body and a float, automatically controls water supply and the water level within the tank based on preset thresholds. Accordingly, a water tank inlet connector 221 is provided within the housing to connect to the water source. The drain valve 23 opens rapidly when the flush is triggered and automatically closes upon completion of the flush, preventing leaks. In addition, in order to protect the water pipes and wires in the sanitary cleaning device 4 from damage, a guide pipe 25 is provided next to the box body. The guide pipe 25 extends in a vertical direction and is connected to the box body 21 at the upper part.

[0027] The water supply pipe 5 connects the water tank 2 to the toilet body 3. Its structure, consisting of a vertical extension and a horizontal curve, is designed to minimize water pressure loss and accommodate various spatial layout requirements. The toilet body 3 is typically constructed of high-quality ceramic, offering excellent stain resistance and easy cleanability. By tightly connecting to the water supply pipe 5, it receives water from the water tank for efficient routine cleaning. A drain pipe 6 is located at the waste outlet of the toilet body 3, ensuring rapid drainage of cleaned waste.

[0028] The sanitary cleaning device 4 is a crucial component of the electronic toilet's intelligent and comfortable features. Carefully installed on the upper rear surface of the toilet body 3, it consists of a housing 41 and a cover assembly 42. Housing 41 houses a series of functional components, such as a heating assembly 43 that heats the cleaning water to a suitable temperature for human consumption, ensuring user comfort. The nozzle assembly 44 utilizes advanced nozzle technology, allowing for flexible adjustment of spray angle, force, and pattern, ensuring precise, gentle, and effective cleaning of the body.

[0029] This solution eliminates the need for a dedicated water tank within the sanitary cleaning device. Instead, a water pump 45 draws water from the water tank 2 through a connecting pipe 7, pumping it into a heating assembly 43. The water is then sprayed by a nozzle assembly 44 onto the human body for cleaning. In other words, the water used in the sanitary cleaning device comes from the water in the water tank 2. This approach not only meets the requirements of the EN1717 standard but also avoids the safety hazards mentioned in the background art.

[0030] To purify the water used for local body washing, a filter 74 can be installed at the water inlet of the connecting pipe 7 to pre-treat the water source. This filter effectively removes impurities, particulate matter, and other contaminants from the water. To optimize the filtering effect and water flow path, the distance between the water inlet of the connecting pipe and the bottom of the water storage tank is preferably maintained between 1 cm and 10 cm. This distance ensures sufficient water flow while preventing sediment from the bottom of the tank 21 from being drawn into the connecting pipe.

[0031] Furthermore, a sterilization component 46 is installed in the flow path where the water pump draws in water and delivers it to the nozzle assembly. This means that water drawn from the water tank is sterilized before entering the water pump, effectively killing potential harmful microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses, thereby providing healthier and safer cleaning water. Furthermore, the sanitary cleaning device includes an intelligently controlled waterway switch 47, which is linked to the operating status of the water pump 45. When the water pump is started, the waterway switch 47 automatically connects the internal waterway, allowing the sterilized water to flow smoothly into the water pump 45 and further supply the nozzle assembly 44. When the water pump 45 is shut down, the waterway switch 47 shuts off the waterway. Example 1

[0032] One end of the connecting pipe 7 is connected to the water inlet connector 411 of the sanitary cleaning device 4. The other end extends upward through the interior of the guide pipe 25 and out of the water tank 2. The connecting pipe 7 also has a water intake section 71, which enters the water storage area of the water tank 2 from top to bottom to draw water. To ensure that the water intake section 71 maintains a stable and accurate position within the water tank 2, a locking mechanism 27 is provided within the water tank. This can be a special fixing device pre-designed and manufactured within the water tank wall, typically in the form of an annular clip or groove. When the water intake section 71 is installed, its outer contour precisely mates with the clip or groove within the water tank, locking it into place and forming a secure mechanical connection. This ensures that the water intake section will not shift or loosen during use due to changes in water pressure or physical impact, thereby ensuring stable and reliable water supply. The water intake section 71 is preferably formed integrally with the connecting pipe 7 and can be understood as being part of the connecting pipe 7. Example 2

[0033] The connecting pipe 7 includes an adapter 72 that mates with the water tank inlet connector 221. Depending on the actual production process requirements, the adapter 72 can be integrally molded with the water tank inlet connector 221 or independently manufactured and then assembled to ensure a tight and stable connection with the water tank inlet connector 221. The adapter 72 is internally provided with two separate outlet ports: a first outlet 721 and a second outlet 722. The first outlet 721 directly connects to the first water inlet valve 22 of the water tank; the second outlet 722 is connected to the first water inlet valve 22 of the water tank via a water intake pipe 73 that extends from top to bottom into the water storage area of the water tank 2 to extract water stored therein. Therefore, to ensure the positional stability of the water intake pipe 73 within the water tank, this embodiment employs an indirect fixing method. This method first secures the adapter 72 to the water tank inlet connector 221 within the water tank, thereby achieving a secure installation of the adapter itself. Since the second outlet 722 on the adapter 72 is connected to the water intake pipe 73 , when the adapter is fixed, the water intake pipe is also effectively fixed at a preset position. Example 3

[0034] This embodiment is different from the top-down water intake method of the first and second embodiments. Instead, a water outlet 28 is directly provided in the water storage area of the water tank. The water outlet 28 is further connected to the connecting pipe 7. The water outlet 28 is preferably provided at the bottom of the tank body 21. In this way, the water pump can extract the water in the water tank through the water outlet. Example 4

[0035] A divider 26 is disposed within the housing 21, dividing the housing 21 into a flushing tank 211 and a cleaning tank 212. A first water inlet valve 22 and a drain valve 23 are disposed within the flushing tank 211, allowing the toilet bowl 3 to be flushed using the water stored in the flushing tank 211. A connecting pipe 7 is connected to the water storage area of the cleaning tank 212, allowing the water stored in the cleaning tank 212 to be used for washing a human body. Preferably, a cleaning outlet 213 is provided directly at the bottom of the cleaning tank 212, connected to the connecting pipe 7. To control the amount of water in the cleaning tank 212, a second water inlet valve 214 is provided within the cleaning tank 212, which automatically controls water supply and the water level within the cleaning tank 212 according to a preset threshold. To this end, the tank inlet connector 221 needs to be connected to a water distributor 222, which has two water outlets: one connected to the first water inlet valve 22 and the other connected to the second water inlet valve 214. In this embodiment, the partition 26 defines the overflow level of the wash water tank 212. The overflow level of the wash water tank 212 is higher than the overflow level of the flush water tank 211. This allows the overflow water in the wash water tank 212 to be drained into the flush water tank 211 when overflow occurs. This means that when the water level in the wash water tank 212 rises to the height of the partition 26, the excess water will flow over the partition 26 into the flush water tank 211, thus avoiding the risk of overflow.
