Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to toilet technology, and in particular to a toilet lid with intelligent sensing function. Background Art

[0002] Smart toilets are becoming increasingly popular in people's lives. To use a toilet, you need to lift the toilet lid before using it. When you're done using the toilet, you need to flip the lid down to close the toilet to prevent odors and even prevent bacteria from growing. However, manually lifting the toilet lid is cumbersome in daily life, and users often forget to close it. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the above problems and provide a toilet seat with intelligent sensing function.

[0004] The technical solution of this application is achieved as follows:

[0005] In a first aspect, the present application provides a toilet lid with an intelligent sensing function, wherein the toilet lid with an intelligent sensing function is installed on a toilet body, and comprises an automatically flippable seat ring, an automatically flippable toilet lid, and a microwave sensor disposed in the seat ring;

[0006] The microwave sensor is used to sense a human body approaching the toilet body and transmit a proximity signal to the control unit to control the toilet lid to automatically flip up;

[0007] The seat ring comprises an outer shell and a lower cover which are detachable from each other; a mounting seat is mounted on the inner wall of the outer shell; and the microwave sensor is detachably mounted on the mounting seat.

[0008] In a second aspect, the present application provides a smart toilet, which adopts the above-mentioned toilet cover with intelligent sensing function.

[0009] The advantages or beneficial effects of the above technical solution include at least:

[0010] By tilting the mounting groove on the mounting base, the microwave sensor can have an inclined fan-shaped detection range, so that the detection angle is expanded to further improve the detection range and sensitivity of the microwave sensor. At the same time, an overlapping area can appear in the detection range of the microwave sensor. The overlapping area is located directly in front of the toilet body. The detection signal strength here is optimal, and the human body approaching and leaving the toilet body can be detected more sensitively. The downward-tilted mounting base can ensure that the maximum detection range of the microwave sensor can cover the front of the toilet body regardless of whether the toilet lid is in a closed state or a flipped-up state.

[0021] A toilet lid with an intelligent sensing function is installed on a toilet body 10. The toilet lid with an intelligent sensing function includes an automatically flippable seat 12, an automatically flippable toilet lid 11, and a microwave sensor 20 arranged in the toilet lid 11; wherein the microwave sensor 20 is used to sense a human body approaching the toilet body 10, and transmit an approach signal to the control unit to control the toilet lid 11 to automatically flip up, and sense a human body leaving the toilet body 10, and transmit a leaving signal to the control unit to control the toilet body 10 to flush; further, the microwave sensor 20 is further used to sense a first gesture signal, and control the seat 12 to automatically flip up according to the first gesture signal, and the microwave sensor 20 is further used to sense a second gesture signal or a human body leaving the toilet body 10, and control the toilet to flush according to the signal, and control the seat 12 and the toilet lid 11 to close sequentially. During this process, there is no need to manually touch the seat to ensure cleanliness.

[0022] Based on the above structure, a mounting base 111 is installed at the bottom of the toilet cover 11, and the microwave sensor 20 is installed on the mounting base 111. Figure 1 As shown, the microwave sensor 20 is detachably mounted on the mounting base 111, which facilitates the installation of the microwave sensor 20. Furthermore, a pair of mounting grooves are symmetrically opened on the mounting base 111 with the central axis of the seat ring 12 as the center. The microwave sensor 20 is installed in the mounting groove, and an acute angle α is formed between the mounting groove and the axial direction of the mounting base 111. The angle of the acute angle α is 30° to 20°. As a preferred embodiment, the angle of the acute angle α is 20°, so that the two microwave sensors 20 have an inclined detection angle, which can expand the detection angle of the microwave sensor 20, thereby further improving the detection range and sensitivity of the microwave sensor 20. At the same time, the detection range of the microwave sensor 20 can also have an overlapping area. The overlapping area is located directly in front of the toilet body 10, where the detection signal strength is optimal, and a human body close to the toilet body 10 can be detected more sensitively.

[0023] Furthermore, the mounting base 111 and the toilet lid 11 have an acute angle β therebetween, so that an acute angle β is formed between the center line of the detection range of the microwave sensor 20 and the horizontal line, which is inclined toward the bottom of the toilet body 10. The angle of the acute angle β is preferably 50° to 60°. The acute angle β is 50°, so that when the toilet lid 11 is fully flipped up, the maximum detection range of the microwave sensor can cover the position of the horizontal line, such as Figure 4As shown, the human body leaving the toilet body 10 can be detected. Such an arrangement can ensure that the toilet lid 11 can maintain detection of the front of the toilet body 10 regardless of whether it is closed or flipped up.

[0024] A further improvement based on the above structure is as follows: the toilet cover 11 is thinned to correspond to the wall thickness of the microwave sensor 20 to form a thinned area 112 , so as to minimize the influence of the toilet cover 11 on the detection signal of the microwave sensor 20 .

[0025] The present application also provides a smart toilet, which adopts the above-mentioned toilet cover with smart sensing function.

[0026] This application also discloses a control method based on a toilet cover with intelligent sensing function, such as Figure 1 As shown, the toilet lid 11 with intelligent sensing function includes an automatically flippable seat 12, the automatically flippable toilet lid 11, and a microwave sensor 20 provided on the seat 12. The control method includes the following steps:

[0027] S1, the microwave sensor 20 senses a human body approaching the smart toilet lid 11, and transmits a proximity signal to the control unit to control the toilet lid 11 to automatically flip up, and then enters step S2;

[0028] S2. The microwave sensor 20 senses the first gesture signal. If the user needs to flip up the seat 12, the seat 12 is automatically flipped up according to the first gesture signal, and the process proceeds to S3. Otherwise, the process proceeds to S4. At this point, the user can flip up the seat 12 according to the first gesture signal as needed, or go to the toilet directly.

[0029] S3, sensing the second gesture signal through the microwave sensor 20, and controlling the toilet to flush according to the second gesture signal, and controlling the seat 12 and the toilet lid 11 to close in sequence, and then entering S1;

[0030] S4. The microwave sensor 20 senses the human body leaving the intelligent toilet lid 11, controls the toilet to flush according to the leaving signal, controls the toilet lid 11 to close, and enters S1.

[0031] In steps S1 and S2, the microwave sensor 20 is at a first signal strength; in steps S3 and S4, the microwave sensor 20 is at a second signal strength; wherein, the first signal strength is less than the second signal strength, which can expand the detection range and facilitate the detection of the human body leaving, so as to further reduce the impact of the toilet lid 11 on the detection sensitivity of the microwave sensor 20. Furthermore, the first signal strength is set to A and the second signal strength is set to B, wherein 1.5*A≥B≥1.1*A, so as to increase the detection sensitivity after the toilet lid 11 is turned over.

[0032] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the above embodiments are merely for the purpose of illustrating the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application. Those skilled in the art may make other changes or modifications based on the above disclosure, and such changes or modifications are still within the scope of the present application.
