[0029] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0030] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art in the art of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0031] See Figure 1 The utility model discloses a temperature-adjustable toilet.
[0032] A thermostatic toilet comprises a toilet body and a thermostatic device. The toilet body comprises a water tank 1 and a seat 2. The thermostatic device comprises a thermostatic water pipe 3, a first heat exchange component 5, and a second heat exchange component 6.
[0033] The temperature-regulating water pipe 3 is fixed on the back of the seat ring 2 . A water pump 4 is connected to the temperature-regulating water pipe 3 , and both ends of the temperature-regulating water pipe 3 are connected to the water tank 1 .
[0034] The first heat exchange component 5 is arranged in the water tank 1 and releases heat to the water flow in the water tank 1. The second heat exchange component 6 is installed in the external toilet space of the toilet body, and the second heat exchange component 6 absorbs heat from the external toilet space.
[0035] Based on the above technical solution, the first heat exchange assembly 5 is installed in the water tank 1 and releases heat to the water flowing in the water tank 1, thereby heating the water flowing in the water tank 1. The water tank 1 is then connected to the temperature-controlled water pipe 3 and installed behind the seat ring 2. When the water pump 4 is started, the water in the water tank 1 circulates in the temperature-controlled water pipe 3, thereby heating the seat ring 2.
[0036] In the above scheme, the water flow in the water tank 1 of the toilet body is heated by the first heating component, and the seat ring 2 is heated by the heated hot water, which overcomes the installation limitations of the "smart toilet" with a heating device in the prior art. The temperature-controlled toilet of this scheme is low-cost and easy to install and use.
[0037] In this solution, the first heating component heats the water in the toilet's water tank 1 to produce hot water. In winter or cold weather, this hot water heats the seat 2, allowing the user's buttocks to directly contact the seat 2 when using it, improving user comfort and experience. In warmer summer months, the water pump 4 is turned off, and the hot water in the water tank 1 is used directly for flushing the toilet, improving flushing efficiency and reducing bacterial growth within the toilet.
[0038] In the above solution, the second heat exchange assembly 6 is installed in the toilet space outside the toilet body. The second heat exchange assembly 6 absorbs heat from the external toilet space, thereby cooling the external toilet space. In summer, the second heat exchange assembly 6 absorbs heat from the external toilet space, thereby reducing the temperature of the toilet environment and improving the user's comfort.
[0039] In winter, the second heat exchange assembly 6 absorbs heat from the external bathroom environment, which lowers the temperature inside the bathroom. However, when using the bathroom, users generally wear thicker clothing, making them less sensitive to the surrounding environment. Conversely, when using a toilet, the buttocks are in direct contact with the seat 2, making them very sensitive to the temperature of the seat 2. Therefore, in winter, directly heating the seat 2 improves user comfort. In summer, users wear thin clothing and expose much of their skin, such as their feet, legs, and arms, which are more sensitive to the surrounding temperature. Therefore, controlling the ambient temperature inside the bathroom improves user comfort.
[0040] In the above scheme, in winter, the water flow in the water tank 1 is heated by the first heat exchange component 5, and then the seat ring 2 is heated by hot water. Because the amount of water in the water tank 1 is small, the temperature rises quickly. Therefore, even when two people use the bathroom one after another, the purpose of heating the seat ring 2 can basically be met.
[0041] In this technical solution, the temperature-controlled toilet further includes a refrigerant, a liquid storage tank 8 , a compressor 7 and a throttling component 9 .
[0042] The first heat exchange assembly 5 includes at least a first heat exchange tube, and the second heat exchange assembly 6 includes at least a second heat exchange tube. The first heat exchange tube is connected to and communicates with a first port of the compressor 7, and the second heat exchange tube is connected to and communicates with a second port of the compressor 7.
[0043] The refrigerant is filled in the liquid storage tank 8 , and the liquid storage tank 8 is connected between the first heat exchange tube and the second heat exchange tube, and the liquid storage tank 8 is in conduction with both the first heat exchange tube and the second heat exchange tube.
[0044] The throttling assembly 9 is connected between the second heat exchange tube and the first heat exchange tube. The throttling assembly 9 generally adopts an expansion valve.
[0045] Based on the above technical solution, compressor 7 operates, compressing the refrigerant into a high-temperature, high-pressure gas, which is then fed into the first heat exchange tube. Inside this tube, the refrigerant exchanges heat with the water in water tank 1, converting the high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant into a liquid state, producing a high-pressure liquid. The high-pressure liquid then passes through throttling assembly 9, where it is depressurized and converted into a low-temperature, low-pressure gas, which then enters the evaporator. In the evaporator, the refrigerant absorbs heat from the bathroom environment, converting into a gaseous state and simultaneously cooling the bathroom.
[0046] In the above technical solution, through the operation of the compressor 7, the throttling component 9 and the refrigerant, the first heat exchange component 5 is always in a heat release state, always heating the water flow in the water tank 1, while the second heat exchange component 6 is always in a heat absorption state, adjusting the temperature of the bathroom environment.
[0047] Because the bathroom environment is relatively narrow, the second heat exchange component 6 has a more obvious effect on regulating the ambient temperature, especially in summer when people wear less clothes and their exposed skin is more sensitive to the ambient temperature. It can play a good role in regulating temperature and greatly improve the comfort of bathroom users.
[0048] In the above solution, the first heat exchange assembly 5 is installed in the toilet water tank 1, and the second heat exchange assembly 6 is installed outside the toilet water tank 1. The liquid storage tank 8 and compressor 7 can all be installed independently. This solution has low requirements for the installation environment and is flexible, allowing for efficient use of corners or narrow spaces within the bathroom. For example, it can be installed below the toilet water tank 1 or fixedly mounted on the ceiling.
[0049] In this technical solution, the first heat exchange disk is arranged in the water tank 1, and at least a portion of the first heat exchange disk is submerged by the water flow in the water tank 1, ensuring that the first heat exchange disk exchanges heat with the water flow in the water tank 1, heating the water flow in the water tank 1, improving the heat exchange efficiency, and increasing the water flow temperature, while also ensuring the heat exchange effect of the second heat exchange disk.
[0050] In this technical solution, the first heat exchange plate is made of stainless steel. Stainless steel has good thermal conductivity, low cost, and will not rust when immersed in water for a long time, thereby extending the service life of the first heat exchange plate and improving heat exchange efficiency.
[0051] In this technical solution, a control switch for controlling the start and stop of the water pump 4 is connected to the water pump 4. When the seat ring 2 needs to be heated, the control switch controls the start and stop of the water pump 4. The control switch controls the start and stop of the water pump 4 based on temperature and / or time. When the temperature is low, the water pump 4 is started, or the water pump 4 is turned on and off during the use period.
[0052] Similarly, the compressor 7 is also connected to a controller that controls whether the compressor 7 is working or not. The controller controls the operation and stop of the compressor 7. When the toilet and / or the bathroom environment temperature needs to be adjusted, the compressor 7 is controlled to work, and the compressor 7 is controlled to work during the bathroom use period.
[0053] By controlling the switch and the controller, the compressor 7 and the water pump 4 are controlled so that the temperature control device can work when needed. On the one hand, the service life of the temperature control device is extended, and on the other hand, the temperature control device is prevented from continuing to work when not needed, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the temperature control device.
[0054] In this technical solution, the thermostatic water conduit 3 is made of stainless steel, copper, or plastic, which is strong and resistant to deformation. Stainless steel and copper are preferred, as they offer excellent heat radiation and can quickly exchange heat with the seat ring 2, heating it. The thermostatic water conduit 3 is coiled around the back of the seat ring 2, and its length improves the heating effect on the seat ring 2.
[0055] In this technical solution, the cross section of the temperature-regulating water pipe 3 includes at least one straight edge, which is installed close to the back of the seat ring 2 to increase the contact area between the seat ring 2 and the temperature-regulating water pipe 3 and improve the heating effect on the seat ring 2. Figure 2 As shown, the cross section of the temperature-regulating water pipe 3 can be an oblong, semicircular, triangular, rectangular, or the like.
[0056] In this technical solution, the temperature-controlled toilet further includes an air blowing device, which is positioned toward the second heat exchange assembly 6. The airflow from the air blowing device is lowered through the second heat exchange assembly 6 and then flows into the bathroom environment, thereby regulating the bathroom temperature. The air blowing device can be a fan, which accelerates air circulation, allowing more air to flow through the second heat exchange assembly 6, thereby improving the cooling effect on the environment.
[0057] In this technical solution, the second heat exchange tube is arranged in a coiled shape, and heat exchange fins are installed on the outside of the second heat exchange tube. The heat exchange fins enhance the heat exchange effect, allowing the second heat exchange assembly 6 to absorb more heat from the bathroom environment, thereby achieving temperature control of the bathroom environment space.
[0058] In this technical solution, the second heat exchange tube is a copper tube, which has good heat conduction effect and improves the temperature control effect on the environmental space of the bathroom.
[0059] The technical means disclosed in the present invention are not limited to those disclosed in the above-mentioned embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above-mentioned technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention, and such improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
