Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bathrooms, and more particularly to a multi-point induction seat and a toilet. Background Art
[0002] The existing smart seats on the market all have a seating sensing function. Seating sensing generally involves a capacitive sensor or a pressure sensor being installed on the seat, which uses changes in the capacitive field or pressure change to determine whether the seat is seated.
[0003] Currently, there are multiple sensing points set on the seat ring on the market. When different groups use it, different sensing points are triggered according to the different seating positions. The toilet intelligently adjusts the flushing position and flushing parameters to achieve a more comfortable user experience. However, the existing smart seat ring generally connects the sensing point capacitor directly to the main controller through a wire. When the wire is touched, it will also cause the sensing point capacitance to change, which may be considered as a sensing point trigger. There is a risk of false touch, which affects the user experience. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments.

[0027] It should also be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "disposed," "installed," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, and internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0028] First embodiment:
[0029] A multi-point induction seat ring, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, it includes a seat ring body 1 and a control module (not shown in the figure). At least two sensing modules are provided on the seat ring body 1. Each sensing module is arranged along the front and rear directions of the seat ring body 1. The sensing module includes a sensing part and a signal processing part. The sensing part is used to sense the seating information. The signal processing part is connected to the control module through a wire 3. The signal processing part processes the seating information and outputs the sensing signal to the control module through the wire. The control module controls the actuator to execute according to the execution parameters based on the received sensing signal.
[0030] The sensing module also includes a shell, and the sensing part and the signal processing part are sealed in the shell by glue filling.
[0031] In the prior art, the sensing part, such as the inductive capacitance sensor, is generally directly connected to the wire 3. The wire 3 and the inductive capacitance sensor are a whole. When any part of the wire 3 is touched, it is equivalent to the inductive capacitance sensor being triggered. In this embodiment, the sensing part is connected to the input end of the signal processing part, and the wire 3 is connected to the output end of the signal processing part. Therefore, the wire 3 only plays the role of signal transmission. When the wire 3 is touched, it cannot affect the sensing part in turn, and the capacitance of the sensing part will not change, thereby avoiding the problem of false triggering of the seat ring.
[0032] The sensing part specifically adopts a capacitive sensor with a capacitance value exceeding a certain value, which has the advantages of fast response, high precision and high stability. The signal processing part specifically adopts a sensing circuit board, which forms a sensing signal after receiving the information from the sensing part.
[0033] In this embodiment, the seat body 1 is provided with a first sensing area, which includes a plurality of sensing modules asymmetrically positioned on either side of the seat body 1. These sensing modules generate sensing signals, which include sensing point locations and a sensing sequence. Based on these received sensing signals, the control module controls the toilet's actuator to switch gears. In other embodiments, the first sensing area may also include a plurality of sensing modules positioned on one side of the seat body 1.
[0034] The actuator is a spray rod for cleaning human body parts, and the execution parameters include the cleaning water pressure gear, water temperature gear, and spray rod movement position; and / or, the actuator is a drying component for drying human body parts, and the execution parameters include the drying position, wind direction, wind speed, and wind temperature; and / or, the actuator is a heating component, and the execution parameters include the heating temperature; and / or, the actuator is a urine test component, and the execution parameters include urine test and its information record; and / or, the actuator is a heart rate detection component parameter, and the execution parameters include heart rate detection and its information record; and / or, the actuator is a flushing mechanism, and the execution parameters include flushing time and flushing volume.
[0035] In this embodiment, the first sensing module 201, the second sensing module 202 and the fourth sensing module 204 are respectively provided on the right side of the seat ring body 1, and are arranged in sequence along the front and rear direction of the seat ring body 1. The first sensing module 201 is located at the front position, and the third sensing module 203 and the fifth sensing module 205 are respectively provided on the left side of the seat ring body 1. The third sensing module 203 and the second sensing module 202 are asymmetrically arranged, and the fifth sensing module 205 and the fourth sensing module 204 are asymmetrically arranged.
[0036] In this embodiment, the actuator is a spray rod for cleaning the private parts of the human body, the execution parameter is the movement position of the nozzle of the spray rod, and the spray rod can be telescopically moved along the axial center line of the seat ring.
[0037] The user can predict the spray time of the spray bar and the temperature of the sprayed wash water before use, so they can set them to a value that suits them before use. However, since each user sits in a different position on the seat, the position of the spray nozzle will also vary, making it difficult to predict the correct nozzle position before use.
[0038] When the control module receives a sitting signal from the first sensing module 201 and determines that the user is sitting near the first sensing module 201, the control module controls the nozzle of the spray rod to move to the position of the first sensing module 201 to spray cleaning water accurately onto the user's private parts.
[0039] For example, when the control module receives sitting signals from the first sensing module 201, the second sensing module 202, the fourth sensing module 204, the third sensing module 203 and the fifth sensing module 205 and determines that the center of gravity of the user sitting is close to the fourth sensing module 204, the control module controls the nozzle of the spray rod to move to a position close to the fourth sensing module 204 to spray cleaning water accurately onto the user's private parts.
[0040] In this way, a sensor detects the user's seating signal and automatically moves the nozzle to the seating position, spraying water precisely to the user's area. The user does not need to worry about water spraying other parts of the body or adjust the nozzle's spray position. By installing a multi-sensor module on the toilet seat to determine the user's position on the seat, the nozzle is then moved to the appropriate position, improving the user experience.
[0041] In this embodiment, the seat ring body 1 is also provided with a second sensing area, and the second sensing area includes at least one sensing module, which is defined as a child sensing module 206. The child sensing module 206 is located on the right side of the seat ring body 1 and in front of the first sensing module 201. When only the child sensing module 206 is triggered, it is executed according to the set fixed execution parameters. The fixed execution parameters can be that the water temperature is at the lowest level, the position of the spray rod nozzle is closest to the front end of the seat ring body 1, and the water pressure is at the lowest level, so as to avoid excessive water pressure or water temperature burns caused by accidental triggering during child washing.
[0042] The wire 3 of the sensing module passes through the seat ring sleeve 4 and is connected to the control module. The control module is arranged in the toilet body and is connected to it by passing the wire 3. An induction adapter plate 5 is provided on the seat ring body 1. The wire 3 of the sensing module is connected to the control module through the induction adapter plate 5. The wires 3 of all the sensing modules on the seat ring body 1 are first connected in parallel to the induction adapter plate 5. The induction adapter plate 5 then outputs a wire 3 that passes through the seat ring sleeve 4 and is connected to the control module, so that the wires 3 in the seat ring body 1 are no longer redundant and the aperture space of the seat ring sleeve 4 is saved.
[0043] The seat ring body 1 includes an upper cover 101 and a lower cover 102. The sensing module and the sensing adapter plate 5 are arranged in the cavity surrounded by the upper cover 101 and the lower cover 102. When the user sits down, the sensing part will be squeezed to trigger the sensing module.
[0044] The working process of this utility model is as follows:
[0045] When the user sits down, he touches the sensing part, which transmits the seating information to the signal processing part. The signal processing part converts the seating information into an electrical signal and transmits it to the sensing adapter board 5 through the wire 3. The sensing adapter board 5 then transmits the signal to the control module. The control module controls the actuator to run the corresponding execution parameters according to different sensing signals. If only the child sensing module 206 is triggered, it will be executed according to the set fixed execution parameters.
[0046] Second embodiment:
[0047] A toilet, not shown, includes the multi-point induction seat described in the first embodiment.
[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the design concept of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
