DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0033] The present invention relates to a drying device for use in a smart toilet. The drying device comprises a housing 100, a semiconductor temperature control module 200, a fan assembly 300, and a first temperature conducting member 400. The present invention also relates to a smart cover and a smart toilet. The drying device is mounted on the smart cover, or mounted on the smart toilet, or the smart cover with the drying device mounted thereon is mounted on the smart toilet for use.

[0034] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the housing 100 can be assembled by an upper shell and a lower shell by interlocking, screw locking, etc. A first air duct 110 is provided inside the housing 100. The first air duct 110 has a first air inlet 111 and a first air outlet 112. The drying device can be installed on the hip wash / female wash device in the smart cover or the smart toilet, and move with the hip wash / female wash device. When in use, the first air outlet 112 faces the user's buttocks, and the first air duct 110 is used to blow and dry the user's buttocks. The semiconductor temperature control module 200 can be a semiconductor cooling / heating plate. The two side surfaces of the semiconductor temperature control module 200 are respectively defined as a first temperature control side 210 and a second temperature control side 220. The semiconductor temperature control module 200 is electrically connected to an external control system. The control system can control the output of forward voltage and reverse voltage to the semiconductor temperature control module 200. According to different voltages, the semiconductor temperature control module 200 has a first state and a second state. When a forward voltage is output to the semiconductor temperature control module 200, the first temperature control side 210 of the semiconductor temperature control module 200 operates in cooling mode, while the second temperature control side 220 operates in heating mode. In this case, the semiconductor temperature control module 200 is in a first state. When a reverse voltage is output to the semiconductor temperature control module 200, the first temperature control side 210 of the semiconductor temperature control module 200 operates in heating mode, while the second temperature control side 220 operates in cooling mode. In this case, the semiconductor temperature control module 200 is in a second state. The first thermal conductive element 400 is made of metal and is connected to the first temperature control side 210. The first thermal conductive element 400 performs heat exchange between the first temperature control side 210 and the first temperature control side 210 during cooling or heating mode. The fan assembly 300 is mounted on the housing 100 and supplies air to the first air inlet 111 of the first air duct 110. The first thermal conductive element 400 can be located at the first air inlet 111 or within the first air duct 110. The first temperature conducting member 400 increases the heat exchange area between the first temperature control side 210 and the airflow. The airflow generated by the fan assembly 300 flows through the first temperature conducting member 400 and then blows out through the first air duct 110. During use, after the user completes the buttocks wash / female wash on the smart toilet, he turns on the drying device. According to user needs, the cold air drying mode or the hot air drying mode can be selected. In the cold air drying mode, the first temperature control side 210 of the semiconductor temperature control module 200 is cooling. The first temperature control side 210 cools the first temperature conducting member 400, and the airflow forms cold air after flowing through the first temperature conducting member 400 and is discharged from the first air outlet 112 of the first air duct 110. The cold air blows and dries the user's buttocks area. In the hot air drying mode, the first temperature control side 210 of the semiconductor temperature control module 200 is heating. The first temperature-control side 210 heats the first thermal conductor 400. Airflow through the first thermal conductor 400 forms hot air, which is then discharged from the first air outlet 112 of the first air duct 110. This hot air dries the user's breech area. The semiconductor temperature control module 200 enables switching between hot and cold modes, providing users with different drying modes to meet varying needs.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present invention, the housing 100 is further provided with a second air duct 120. The fan assembly 300 is capable of supplying air to the second air duct 120. The second temperature-controlled side 220 is located on the airflow path of the fan assembly 300 supplying air to the second air duct 120. The airflow generated by the fan assembly 300 removes heat energy from the second temperature-controlled side 220, and the resulting cold or hot air is discharged outward through the second air duct 120. When the first temperature-controlled side 210 is cooling, the second temperature-controlled side 220 acts as a heat dissipation side. The airflow drives the heat dissipation from the second temperature-controlled side 220, thereby ensuring the cooling effect of the first temperature-controlled side 210. A second thermal conductive member 500 can be installed on the second temperature-controlled side 220. The second thermal conductive member 500 is made of metal. The second thermal conductive member 500 is used to exchange heat with the second temperature-controlled side 220, thereby improving the cooling or heat dissipation efficiency of the second temperature-controlled side 220. The second thermal conductive element 500 is located in the airflow path from the fan assembly 300 to the second air duct 120. The second air duct 120 has a second air inlet 121 and a second air outlet 122. The second thermal conductive element 500 can be installed at the second air inlet 121 of the second air duct 120 or within the second air duct 120. The second thermal conductive element 500 increases the heat exchange area between the second temperature-controlled side 220 and the airflow.

[0036] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the interior of the housing 100 is hollow to form a channel 130. The channel 130 is separated by a partition 150 to form a first air duct 110 and a second air duct 120. The first air duct 110 and the second air duct 120 are parallel, and the first air inlet 111 of the first air duct 110 and the second air inlet 121 of the second air duct 120 are both oriented toward the side where the fan assembly 300 is located. The first heat conducting member 400 is installed in the first air inlet 111, and the second heat conducting member 500 is installed in the second air inlet 121. In the direction shown in the figure, the first air inlet 111 and the second air inlet 121 are arranged vertically. The first air duct 110 extends obliquely forward and downward from the first air inlet 111, and the first air outlet 112 is arranged forward. The second air duct 120 changes direction downward from the second air inlet 121, and the second air outlet 122 is arranged downward. The second air outlet 122 can be directed toward the water tank of the smart toilet or other spatial location. The interior of the housing 100 forms an air cavity 140, which communicates with the passage 130. A fan assembly 300 is installed in the air cavity 140. When the fan assembly 300 is activated, it simultaneously delivers air to the first and second air inlets 111, 121. The airflow creates varying amounts of air in the first and second air ducts 110, 120, depending on the design dimensions of the first and second air inlets 111, 121, or the dimensions of the first and second heat conducting members 400, 500.

[0037] In this embodiment, Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first and second thermal conductive members 400 and 500 have identical structures. The fan assembly 300 delivers equal airflow to the first and second thermal conductive members 400 and 500. The first and second air inlets 111 and 121 have identical opening areas and shapes. The heat exchange efficiency of airflow through the first and second thermal conductive members 400 and 500 is the same, ensuring balanced heat exchange on both sides of the semiconductor temperature control module 200.

[0038] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 As shown, the interior of the first thermal conductive member 400 and the second thermal conductive member 500 are both made of metal sheets that have been folded multiple times. The metal sheets can be pultruded aluminum alloy, thin copper plates, or other materials. The metal sheets are folded sequentially in an S-shape, forming multiple thermal conductive layers 401. Adjacent thermal conductive layers 401 form gaps for airflow. When air flows through the first thermal conductive member 400 and the second thermal conductive member 500, it passes through the gaps between the thermal conductive layers 401, effectively increasing the heat exchange area.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a temperature sensing module 600 is provided at the first air outlet 112 of the first air duct 110. The temperature sensing module 600 can be a temperature sensor. The temperature sensing module 600 is used to monitor the temperature of the airflow in the first air duct 110. The temperature sensing module 600 feeds the detection signal back to an external control system, which then controls the cooling / heating power of the semiconductor temperature control module 200 to control the airflow temperature.
