Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of intelligent detection equipment, in particular to an energy-saving infrared sensing device and a toilet. Background Art
[0002] Existing smart toilets are equipped with a large number of sensor devices and electronic control components that perform corresponding actions, which require a lot of electricity. Therefore, smart toilets are basically powered by AC power and have a high cost, which is not conducive to promotion. Manufacturers are considering how to promote light smart toilets on the market. Light smart toilets only need to have basic functions such as automatic flushing, and have relatively few sensor devices and electronic control components. On the basis of meeting the basic needs of users, the cost of replacement is greatly reduced.
[0003] However, traditional toilets typically don't require electricity, and bathrooms often lack a mains power outlet near the toilet. Replacing a smart toilet with a smart one requires rewiring the bathroom's electrical wiring, which is why smart toilets haven't been widely adopted in older decorating environments. Therefore, manufacturers are considering integrating energy storage devices into lightweight smart toilets to power the electrical components, potentially resolving the mains power issue. However, the energy stored in energy storage devices is limited, so reducing the power consumption of these components presents a significant challenge.
[0004] Existing smart toilets can detect whether the user is standing or sitting. Standing users are typically urinating. The control module in smart toilets can reduce the conduction opening of the water tank valve, allowing a small amount of water to flush the toilet. Sitting users require a relatively large amount of water to flush. Smart toilets all use a distance-measuring component to detect the distance to the user. When the user is sitting, the distance-measuring component detects the user is close, while when the user is standing, the distance-measuring component detects the user is far away. Distance-measuring components have been used in various ways, such as using a laser radar probe that scans at multiple angles and measures the power of the reflected laser to determine the distance to the user. Alternatively, infrared sensors and signal analysis chips are used. Infrared rays emitted by the infrared sensor are reflected by an object and then received back by the infrared sensor, forming an electrical signal. The signal analysis chip analyzes the strength of the electrical signal to determine the distance to the user. These methods consume significant power, making the energy storage component insufficient for long-term power supply. In addition, the toilet is usually equipped with a rotatable toilet lid. When the toilet lid is open, the distance measuring component can detect the distance of the user. However, when the toilet lid is set on the toilet seat, the toilet lid blocks the output range of the distance measuring component, causing the control module to misjudge and execute the flushing action.

Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0035] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, the energy-saving infrared sensing device according to the first embodiment of the present utility model includes a first infrared sensing module 100 and a second infrared sensing module 200, the first infrared sensing module 100 has a first ranging interval 310 and a blind ranging interval 330, the first ranging interval 310 is farther than the blind ranging interval 330, the first infrared sensing module 100 includes a first base shell 110, a first infrared emitter 120 and a first infrared receiver 130, the first base shell 110 has a first mounting cavity 112 with a first light-through port 111, the first infrared emitter 120 and the first infrared receiver 130 are both located in the first mounting cavity 112, and there is an installation distance 113 between the first infrared emitter 120 and the first infrared receiver 130. The infrared ray emitted by the first infrared emitter 120 is emitted through the first light opening 111. The infrared ray is reflected by an object located in the first ranging interval 310 and can be received by the first infrared receiver 130, while the infrared ray is reflected by an object located in the blind ranging interval 330 and cannot be received by the first infrared receiver 130. The second infrared sensing module 200 has a second ranging interval 320, wherein the second ranging interval 320 is farther than the first ranging interval 310.
[0036] Among them, the first infrared sensing module 100 and the second infrared sensing module 200 can be installed in the same mounting base, and the installer then installs the mounting base on the equipment that needs to be configured. The first infrared sensing module 100 and the second infrared sensing module 200 can also be set separately, and the installer can separately remove the first infrared sensing module 100 or the second infrared sensing module 200 from the equipment. Generally speaking, the first infrared sensing module 100 and the second infrared sensing module 200 are located on the same mounting plane of the equipment.
[0037] It can be understood that, whether it is the first infrared sensing module 100 or the second infrared sensing module 200, the present design does not need to configure an additional chip or circuit for analyzing the strength of the infrared rays. The first infrared sensing module 100 and the second infrared sensing module 200 both emit infrared rays. When there is an object in the first ranging interval 310 or the second ranging interval 320, the infrared rays are reflected and then received by the corresponding first infrared sensing module 100 or the second infrared sensing module 200, a feedback electrical signal (such as a level signal) can be generated. The control module 500 can know that an object appears in the corresponding ranging interval by receiving the feedback electrical signal.
[0038] Therefore, it should be noted that Figure 6As shown, in the first base shell 110, there is an installation spacing 113 between the first infrared emitter 120 and the first infrared receiver 130. After the first infrared emitter 120 emits infrared rays, when the object is located in the first ranging interval 310, the infrared rays are irradiated on the object and then reflected. The infrared rays can be reflected just in the direction of the first infrared receiver 130. After the reflected infrared rays are received by the first infrared receiver 130, the first infrared receiver 130 generates a feedback electrical signal. When the object is close to the first infrared sensing module 100 and is located in the blind ranging interval 330, the first infrared emitter 120 Infrared rays are emitted at the same angle. After being reflected by an object, the infrared rays can only be reflected to the position between the first infrared emitter 120 and the first infrared receiver 130 and cannot be received by the first infrared receiver 130. Therefore, the first infrared receiver 130 does not generate a feedback electrical signal. Specifically, by adjusting the length of the installation distance 113 between the first infrared emitter 120 and the first infrared receiver 130, or adjusting the relative emission or incident angle between the first infrared emitter 120 and the first infrared receiver 130, the range of the first ranging interval 310 and the blind spot ranging interval 330 can be changed.
[0039] The energy-saving infrared sensing device of the present invention utilizes the first infrared sensing module 100 and the second infrared sensing module 200 to form three ranging intervals of different distances. The second ranging interval 320 is farther than the first ranging interval 310 and farther than the blind ranging interval 330. When an object is within the second ranging interval 320, the infrared ray emitted by the second infrared sensing module 200 is reflected by the object and then returns to the second infrared sensing module 200, thereby forming a feedback electrical signal. When the object is within the first ranging interval 310, the infrared ray emitted by the first infrared sensing module 100 is reflected by the object and then returns to the first infrared sensing module 100, thereby forming a feedback electrical signal. In the module 100, a feedback electrical signal is formed. When an object is in the blind ranging interval 330, the infrared light emitted by the first infrared sensing module 100 is reflected by the object and cannot be obtained by the first infrared sensing module 100, and no feedback electrical signal is generated. The first infrared sensing module 100 and the second infrared sensing module 200 themselves have low energy consumption, and when there are other objects in the blind ranging interval 330, they will not interfere with the detection of the first infrared sensing module 100 and the second infrared sensing module 200. This design reduces energy consumption on the basis of being able to detect objects at different distances, and is convenient and reliable to use.
[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6As shown, in order to more clearly define the boundary between the first ranging interval 310 and the blind ranging interval 330 and to prevent objects located in the blind ranging interval 330 from triggering the first infrared receiver 130 to feedback electrical signals as much as possible, the first base shell 110 is provided with a shielding member 114 between the first infrared transmitter 120 and the front of the first infrared receiver 130. The shielding member 114 can prevent the infrared rays reflected by the objects located in the blind ranging interval 330 from being received by the first infrared receiver 130, which is equivalent to the infrared rays reflected by the objects located in the blind ranging interval 330 being irradiated on the shielding member 114 and blocked by the shielding member 114 from entering the first infrared receiver 130.
[0041] Specifically, the shielding member 114 can be a baffle provided in the first mounting cavity 112 of the first base shell 110, and the baffle is located between the front of the first infrared emitter 120 and the first infrared receiver 130, or it can be located in the mounting spacing 113 between the first infrared emitter 120 and the first infrared receiver 130 and extend to the front of the first infrared emitter 120 and the first infrared receiver 130.
[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, the second infrared sensing module 200 may also include a second base shell, a second infrared emitter and a second infrared receiver. The second base shell has a second mounting cavity with a second light-through port. The second infrared emitter and the second infrared receiver are both located in the second mounting cavity. The second lens is arranged at the second light-through port. The infrared ray emitted by the second infrared emitter is emitted through the second light-through port. The infrared ray is reflected by an object located in the second ranging interval 320 and can be received by the second infrared receiver.
[0043] There is also an installation spacing 113 between the second infrared emitter and the second infrared receiver in the second infrared sensing module 200, and a shielding member 114 may also be provided. The detection principle of the second infrared emitter and the second infrared receiver is basically the same as that of the first infrared sensing module 100. There is no need to additionally set up a chip or circuit for analyzing the strength of the infrared rays, and the power consumption is low.
[0044] In addition, according to the detection principle of the first infrared sensing module 100 and the second infrared sensing module 200, a feedback electrical signal can be generated when infrared rays are incident, and there is no need to detect the strength of the infrared rays. Therefore, it also has the effect of anti-color difference sensing, and the detection accuracy is not affected by the color of the object itself. That is, it can be understood that if a distance judgment method of detecting the strength of infrared rays is adopted, different objects have different colors and different abilities to absorb infrared rays, which will affect the judgment of the strength of the infrared rays and reduce the accuracy accordingly.
[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6As shown, the first infrared sensing module 100 is provided with a first lens 140 on the infrared light path, and the second infrared sensing module 200 is provided with a second lens on the infrared light path, wherein the focal length of the second lens is longer than the focal length of the first lens 140 so that the second ranging interval 320 is farther than the first ranging interval 310.
[0046] Both the first lens 140 and the second lens can be convex lenses. Due to the difference in focal length, the first ranging interval 310 of the first infrared sensing module 100 is formed near the focus of the first lens 140, and the second ranging interval 320 of the second infrared sensing module 200 is formed near the focus of the second lens. The first infrared emitter 120 and the second infrared emitter can select components with the same or similar specifications, and use the same or similar driving circuit and power supply to drive the first infrared emitter 120 and the second infrared emitter to emit infrared rays. Specifically, the driving circuit can be composed of a semiconductor switching tube. Similarly, the first infrared receiver 130 and the second infrared receiver can also select components with the same or similar specifications.
[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first lens 140 is disposed at the first light opening 111 , and infrared rays are emitted through the first lens 140 and are incident on the first infrared receiver 130 through the first lens 140 .
[0048] According to the toilet of the second embodiment of the utility model, Figures 1 to 7 As shown, it includes the energy-saving infrared sensing device disclosed in any of the above embodiments.
[0049] The utility model toilet applies the energy-saving infrared sensing device disclosed in any of the above-mentioned embodiments. When the user uses the toilet while standing, the user is located in the second ranging interval 320, which can be detected by the second infrared sensing module 200 and an electrical signal can be fed back. When the user uses the toilet while sitting, the user is located in the first ranging interval 310, which can be detected by the first infrared sensing module 100 and an electrical signal can be fed back. When the toilet lid 420 on the toilet covers the toilet, since the toilet lid 420 is close to the toilet and is located in the blind ranging interval 330, the first infrared sensing module 100 will not feed back an electrical signal and will not cause interference. This design can reduce energy consumption on the basis of being able to detect objects at different distances, and is convenient and reliable to use.
[0050] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7As shown, the toilet includes a toilet body 400, a control module 500 and a water tank valve body 600. The energy-saving infrared sensing device is arranged on the toilet body 400. The control module 500 is electrically connected to the first infrared sensing module 100, the second infrared sensing module 200 and the water tank valve body 600 respectively. The control module 500 controls the conduction opening of the water tank valve body 600 according to the feedback electrical signals of the first infrared sensing module 100 and the second infrared sensing module 200 respectively.
[0051] The control module 500 may include a processing chip such as an MCU or CPU and its associated circuits. The water tank valve body 600 may adopt a conventional solenoid valve, which is respectively connected to the inside of the water tank and the water outlet of the toilet body 400. The larger the conduction opening of the water tank valve body 600, the larger the flushing volume; the smaller the conduction opening of the water tank valve body 600, the smaller the flushing volume. The control module 500 may use a semiconductor switching tube to drive the solenoid valve on and off, and adjust the working current output to the water tank valve body 600 through the switching tube to change the size of the conduction opening.
[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, the toilet also includes an energy storage component 700 detachably arranged on the toilet body 400, and the energy storage component 700 is used to supply power to the control module 500, the first infrared sensing module 100, the second infrared sensing module 200 and the water tank valve body 600. The energy storage component 700 can be a rechargeable battery or a dry cell. A battery box can be provided on the toilet, and the energy storage component 700 can be detachably installed in the battery box. A conductive sheet is provided in the battery box, and the conductive sheet is respectively connected to electrical components such as the control module 500, the first infrared sensing module 100, the second infrared sensing module 200 and the water tank valve body 600. The energy storage component 700 contacts the conductive sheet to supply power, and the specific static power consumption can be less than 0.2mW.
[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, the toilet body 400 includes a toilet seat 410, and the first infrared sensing module 100 and the second infrared sensing module 200 are arranged on the upper surface of the toilet seat 410. The directions of the infrared rays emitted by the first infrared sensing module 100 and the second infrared sensing module 200 are inclined relative to the vertical direction, so that the infrared rays emitted by the first infrared sensing module 100 and the second infrared sensing module 200 can be directed toward the user in front of the toilet seat 410. When the user uses the toilet in a sitting position, the infrared rays can be emitted toward the back of the user, and when the user uses the toilet in a standing position, the infrared rays can be emitted toward the front of the user.
[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, the toilet cover 420 is rotatably disposed on the toilet seat 410 . When the toilet cover 420 is closed relative to the toilet seat 410 , the toilet cover 420 is located within the blind ranging interval 330 .
[0055] It is understandable that the energy-saving infrared sensing device is arranged on the upper surface of the toilet seat 410 and is not covered by the seat plate. In normal use, whether the user is standing or sitting, the toilet lid 420 is flipped close to the water tank and leans against the water tank, which will not block the first infrared sensing module 100 and the second infrared sensing module 200. Figure 2 、 Figure 5 As shown, when the user stands to use the toilet, when the user is in the second ranging interval 320, the infrared light emitted by the second infrared sensing module 200 is reflected by the object and then returns to the second infrared sensing module 200, thereby forming a feedback electrical signal. The control module 500 receives the electrical signal input by the second infrared receiver and can know that the user is standing to use the toilet. After the user finishes using the toilet, the control module 500 controls the water tank valve body 600 to open the flushing with a small conduction opening, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 、 Figure 5 As shown, when the user is sitting on the toilet, when the user is in the first ranging interval 310, the infrared light emitted by the first infrared sensing module 100 is reflected by the object and then returns to the first infrared sensing module 100, thereby forming a feedback electrical signal. The control module 500 receives the electrical signal input by the first infrared receiver 130, and it can be known that the user is sitting on the toilet. After the user finishes using the toilet, the control module 500 controls the water tank valve body 600 to open the flushing with a large conduction opening, and as shown in FIG. Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, when the toilet lid 420 is closed, the toilet lid 420 is located in the blind ranging interval 330. The toilet lid 420 will block the infrared rays emitted by the first infrared sensing module 100 and the second infrared sensing module 200, but the reflected infrared rays will not be reflected back to the first infrared sensing module 100 and the second infrared sensing module 200, so no feedback electrical signal will be generated, and the control module 500 will not drive the water tank valve body 600 to operate.
[0056] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered as the range recorded in this specification.
[0057] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
