Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of toilet sterilization, in particular to an ozone generating sterilization device for an intelligent flush toilet. Background Art
[0002] With the development and popularization of intelligent technology, smart flush toilets have become increasingly popular due to their convenient features, including intelligent detection, automatic heating, and automatic water spraying and washing. These toilets are now commonplace in thousands of households. However, since flush toilets are prone to bacterial growth during use, long-term bacterial infestation can have adverse health effects. Therefore, flush toilets require regular sterilization. Currently, specialized disinfectants are typically used to sterilize the toilets, but this method remains unchanged, significantly reducing the user experience of smart flush toilets. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an ozone generating and sterilizing device for an intelligent flush toilet, which has the advantages of automatically generating ozone for disinfection and improving user experience.
[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned and other related purposes, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0005] An ozone generating sterilization device for an intelligent flush toilet, comprising:
[0006] An electrolysis module is provided in the water tank of the smart flush toilet and is used to electrolyze the water in the water tank to generate ozone and dissolve it in the water;
[0007] An electric control module, configured to connect to a main control system of the intelligent flush toilet and control the supply of power to the electrolysis module to perform electrolysis or to cut off power to stop electrolysis;
[0008] The detection module is arranged on the seat of the smart flush toilet and is connected to the main control system. It is used to detect whether someone is using the toilet and generate a occupant signal to feed back to the main control system. In response to the occupant signal, the main control system controls the power supply to the electrolysis module through the electronic control module for electrolysis.
[0009] To implement the above technical solution, when in use, when the detection module detects a signal of a person coming, the main control system supplies power to the electrolysis module through the electronic control module to electrolyze the water in the water tank. During the electrolysis process, ozone is generated and dissolved in the water. Ozone has strong oxidizing properties, thereby giving the water a certain sterilization and disinfection function. When the detection module loses the signal of a person coming, the main control system disconnects the power supply to the electrolysis module through the electronic control module and stops the electrolysis treatment. When the main control system controls the automatic flushing, the toilet bowl will be sterilized and disinfected by ozone, thereby improving the user experience. At the same time, since the electrolysis module only works when someone is using it, it can not only save electricity, but also prevent the ozone generated during use from escaping and causing the water to lose its sterilization and disinfection function.
[0010] As a preferred solution of the utility model, the electrolysis module includes:
[0011] An installation base shell is provided in the middle of the installation base shell, wherein a sleeve port is provided for sleeve connection with the water outlet pipe of the water storage tank, and a plurality of water troughs are provided at the bottom of the installation base shell;

One end of the anode electrolysis strip plate is formed with a first conductive end, and one end of the cathode electrolysis strip plate is formed with a second conductive end. The first conductive end and the second conductive end are used for conductive connection with the electronic control module.
[0013] To implement the above technical solution, the electrolysis module is installed on the water outlet pipe through the sleeve port, thereby avoiding the tedious installation process and facilitating replacement, cleaning and maintenance. After power is turned on, the anode electrolysis strips and the cathode electrolysis strips electrolyze the water. Since the anode electrolysis strips and the cathode electrolysis strips are arranged longitudinally, the bubbles generated during the electrolysis treatment are easily discharged, and the drainage is smoother. The scale generated during the electrolysis process will not affect normal drainage.
[0014] As a preferred solution of the utility model, the mounting base shell includes a bottom plate and an upper box that are clamped together, the water trough is arranged on the bottom plate, the fitting port passes through the bottom plate and the upper box, and the bottom plate and the upper box cooperate with each other to press and fix the anode electrolysis strip plate and the cathode electrolysis strip plate.
[0015] The above technical solution facilitates the installation and fixation of the anode electrolysis strips and the cathode electrolysis strips, and because the water trough is arranged on the bottom plate, the generated ozone is forced to be discharged only from the bottom, so that the ozone can be more fully dissolved in water.
[0016] As a preferred solution of the utility model, a plurality of limiting ribs are provided on the outside of the anode electrolysis strip plate and the cathode electrolysis strip plate on the bottom plate, and the plurality of limiting ribs are arranged along the extension direction of the anode electrolysis strip plate and the cathode electrolysis strip plate, and a plurality of insulating spacers are provided between the anode electrolysis strip plate and the cathode electrolysis strip plate.
[0017] To implement the above technical solution, the anode electrolysis strip plates and the cathode electrolysis strip plates can be limited by the limiting ribs, thereby improving the installation stability of the anode electrolysis strip plates and the cathode electrolysis strip plates, and an insulating gap is formed between the anode electrolysis strip plates and the cathode electrolysis strip plates by the insulating spacers, thereby ensuring that the electrolysis work can proceed normally.
[0018] As a preferred solution of the utility model, a separation ring plate is provided on the upper box at the sleeve outlet, and a plurality of auxiliary water holes are provided on the separation ring plate.
[0019] By implementing the above technical solution, the anode electrolysis strip plate and the cathode electrolysis strip plate can be encapsulated in the upper box through the separation ring plate, and the smoothness of water inlet and outlet can be further improved through the auxiliary drainage holes.
[0020] As a preferred solution of the utility model, a sealed wiring compartment is provided on one side of the upper box, and the first conductive end and the second conductive end extend into the sealed wiring compartment.
[0021] Implementing the above technical solution facilitates conductive connection with the electronic control module.
[0022] As a preferred solution of the utility model, a detachable sealing cover is provided on the sealed wiring compartment.
[0023] The above technical solution is implemented to facilitate disassembly, assembly, connection and sealing.
[0024] As a preferred solution of the utility model, the detection module includes a pyroelectric infrared sensor and / or a pressure sensor.
[0025] As described above, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0026] An embodiment of the present utility model provides an ozone generating and sterilizing device for an intelligent flush toilet, comprising: an electrolysis module, arranged in a water tank of the intelligent flush toilet, for electrolyzing the water in the water tank to generate ozone and dissolve it in the water; an electronic control module, for connecting to a main control system of the intelligent flush toilet, for controlling the supply of power to the electrolysis module for electrolysis or cutting off the power to stop electrolysis; a detection module, arranged on the seat of the intelligent flush toilet and connected to the main control system, for detecting whether someone is using the toilet and generating a person-in-use signal to feed back to the main control system. In response to the person-in-use signal, the main control system controls the supply of power to the electrolysis module through the electronic control module for electrolysis. During use, when the detection module detects a signal from a person coming, the main control system supplies power to the electrolysis module through the electronic control module to electrolyze the water in the water tank. During the electrolysis process, ozone is generated and dissolved in the water. Ozone has strong oxidizing properties, which gives the water a certain sterilization and disinfection function. When the detection module loses the signal from a person coming, the main control system disconnects the power supply to the electrolysis module through the electronic control module and stops the electrolysis treatment. When the main control system controls the automatic flushing, the toilet bowl will be sterilized and disinfected by ozone, thereby improving the user experience. At the same time, since the electrolysis module only works when someone is using it, it can not only save electricity, but also prevent the ozone generated during use from escaping and causing the water to lose its sterilization and disinfection function.

[0033] The following describes the implementation of the present invention through specific embodiments. People familiar with this technology can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification.
[0034] See also Figures 1 to 4 The present invention provides an ozone generating and sterilizing device for an intelligent flush toilet, comprising: an electrolysis module 10, arranged in a water storage tank of the intelligent flush toilet, for electrolyzing the water in the water storage tank to generate ozone and dissolving the ozone in the water; an electronic control module 20, for connecting to a main control system 40 of the intelligent flush toilet, for controlling the supply of power to the electrolysis module 10 for electrolysis or power off to stop electrolysis; a detection module 30, arranged on the seat of the intelligent flush toilet and connected to the main control system 40, for detecting whether someone is using the toilet and generating a user presence signal to feed back to the main control system 40. In response to the user presence signal, the main control system 40 controls the supply of power to the electrolysis module 10 through the electronic control module 20 for electrolysis.
[0035] Specifically, the electrolysis module 10 includes: a mounting base shell 11, a sleeve port 111 for being sleeved with the water outlet pipe of the water tank is provided in the middle of the mounting base shell 11, and a plurality of water troughs 112 are provided at the bottom of the mounting base shell 11; an electrolysis module 12 is arranged in the mounting base shell 11, and the electrolysis module 12 includes: an anode electrolysis strip plate 121 for forming an electrolysis anode and a cathode electrolysis strip plate 122 for forming an electrolysis cathode, which are arranged around the sleeve port 111 and arranged relatively spaced apart in the longitudinal direction, a first conductive end 123 is formed at one end of the anode electrolysis strip plate 121, and a second conductive end 124 is formed at one end of the cathode electrolysis strip plate 122, and the first conductive end 123 and the second conductive end 124 are used for conductive connection with the electronic control module 20.
[0036] The first conductive end 123 and the second conductive end 124 are formed by extending or bending the ends of the anode electrolysis strip plate 121 and the cathode electrolysis strip plate 122, which is connected in the form of existing inserts and screws, thereby reducing reaction resistance, improving reaction efficiency, and reducing processing costs; the anode electrolysis strip plate 121 and the cathode electrolysis strip plate 122 are frame-shaped as a whole, so that the overall electrolysis area is similar to the electrolysis area of the flat electrode plate. The anode electrolysis strip plate 121 and the cathode electrolysis strip plate 122 can use existing ozone electrodes, such as tin-antimony electrodes.
[0037] The electrolysis module 10 is installed on the water outlet pipe through the sleeve port 111, thereby avoiding the tedious installation process and facilitating replacement, cleaning and maintenance. After power is turned on, the anode electrolysis strip plate 121 and the cathode electrolysis strip plate 122 electrolyze the water. Since the anode electrolysis strip plate 121 and the cathode electrolysis strip plate 122 are arranged longitudinally, it is convenient to discharge the bubbles generated during the electrolysis treatment, and the drainage is smoother. The scale generated during the electrolysis process will not affect the normal drainage.
[0038] The mounting base shell 11 includes a bottom plate 113 and an upper box 114 that are interlocked. A water trough 112 is provided on the bottom plate 113. A mounting port 111 passes through the bottom plate 113 and the upper box 114. The bottom plate 113 and the upper box 114 cooperate with each other to compress and secure the anode electrolysis strips 121 and the cathode electrolysis strips 122, thereby facilitating the installation and fixation of the anode electrolysis strips 121 and the cathode electrolysis strips 122. Since the water trough 112 is provided on the bottom plate 113, the generated ozone is forced to be discharged only from the bottom, thereby allowing the ozone to be more fully dissolved in the water. The connection method of the bottom plate 113 and the upper box 114 can be, for example,: a clamping block is provided on both sides of the bottom plate 113, and a clamping port is provided on the upper box 114 to cooperate with the clamping block, thereby achieving a clamping connection between the two.
[0039] A plurality of limiting ribs 115 are provided on the outer sides of the anode electrolysis strip plate 121 and the cathode electrolysis strip plate 122 on the bottom plate 113. The limiting ribs 115 are arranged along the extension direction of the anode electrolysis strip plate 121 and the cathode electrolysis strip plate 122, and a plurality of insulating spacers 116 are provided between the anode electrolysis strip plate 121 and the cathode electrolysis strip plate 122. The limiting ribs 115 and the insulating spacers 116 are integrally formed with the bottom plate 113. Of course, the same structure can also be provided on the upper box 114, thereby improving the High overall installation stability; the anode electrolysis strip plate 121 and the cathode electrolysis strip plate 122 can be limited by the limiting rib plate 115, thereby improving the installation stability of the anode electrolysis strip plate 121 and the cathode electrolysis strip plate 122; an insulating gap is formed between the anode electrolysis strip plate 121 and the cathode electrolysis strip plate 122 by the insulating spacer 116, thereby ensuring that the electrolysis work can proceed normally; at the same time, there is no need to set up an insulating structure between the anode electrolysis strip plate 121 and the cathode electrolysis strip plate 122, thereby reducing the processing cost.
[0040] At the same time, a separation ring plate 117 is provided on the upper box 114 at the sleeve opening 111, and a plurality of auxiliary water holes 118 are provided on the separation ring plate 117. The anode electrolysis strip plate 121 and the cathode electrolysis strip plate 122 can be encapsulated in the upper box 114 through the separation ring plate 117, and the smoothness of water inlet and outlet is further improved through the auxiliary drainage holes.
[0041] Furthermore, a sealed wiring compartment 119 is provided on one side of the upper box 114, and the first conductive end 123 and the second conductive end 124 extend into the sealed wiring compartment 119 to facilitate conductive connection with the electronic control module 20, and a removable sealing cover 1191 is provided on the sealed wiring compartment 119 to facilitate disassembly, connection and sealing. Of course, the electronic control module 20 can also be installed in the sealed wiring compartment 119 and fixed by sealant after the connection is completed to ensure sealing.
[0042] The electronic control module 20 can use the existing switching circuit, which is mainly used to control the on and off of the circuit. The power supply of the electrolytic module 10 comes from the output of the power supply end of the main control system 40. The detection module 30 includes a pyroelectric infrared sensor and / or a pressure sensor. The two sensors can be used alone or in combination. For example, the pyroelectric infrared sensor can be set on the toilet to detect the infrared signal of the human body to generate an incoming signal, or the pressure sensor can be set at the bottom of the seat cushion to detect and generate an incoming call signal when a person sits on the seat cushion and generates pressure.
[0043] During use, when the detection module 30 detects a signal from a person coming, the main control system 40 supplies power to the electrolysis module 10 through the electronic control module 20 to electrolyze the water in the water tank. During the electrolysis process, ozone is generated and dissolved in the water. Ozone has strong oxidizing properties, thereby giving the water a certain sterilization and disinfection function. When the detection module 30 loses the signal from a person coming, the main control system 40 disconnects the power supply to the electrolysis module 10 through the electronic control module and stops the electrolysis treatment. When the main control system 40 controls the automatic flushing, the toilet bowl will be sterilized and disinfected by ozone, thereby improving the user experience. At the same time, since the electrolysis module 10 only works when someone is using it, it can not only save electricity, but also prevent the ozone generated during use from escaping and causing the water to lose its sterilization and disinfection function.
[0044] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone skilled in the art may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by one of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and technical principles disclosed in the present invention are intended to be covered by the claims of the present invention.
