DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is used to help understand the present application, but does not constitute a limitation on the present application. In addition, the technical features involved in each embodiment of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0030] In the toilet body, the toilet is formed with a water seal surface, i.e. a static water film formed at the bottom of the toilet body, which plays an important role in isolating the odor, bacteria and insects in the sewer and preventing them from invading the indoor. This water seal layer is naturally formed by gravity and is sustained by the S-shaped or U-shaped structure of the sewer pipe inside the toilet. During the flushing process, the water flow rapidly carries the sewage through the sewer pipe and is discharged, and then the system automatically replenishes clean water to the water seal line to form a new water seal layer.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 The reference numeral 1 represents a transceiver integrated infrared sensor, i.e. an active infrared sensor, which irradiates infrared light to the water seal surface, and the light reflection of the water seal surface returns to the infrared sensor. A split sensor can also be used as long as it can irradiate infrared light and receive light reflection, which will not be described and listed here. At the same time, it should be noted that the emission angle can be set according to the configuration of the inner wall of the toilet, and the irradiated light should be as much as possible on the water seal plane, and the specific angle setting can be set according to actual needs. Different angle emission and reflection diagrams are drawn in the figure for reference only, and the represents the water seal surface.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 A schematic diagram of male urination is drawn. In the figure represents the direction and trajectory of urine radiation, when a man urinates, it causes the water seal surface of the toilet to fluctuate, forming water waves . When the urine enters the water seal surface, the change of infrared radiation is sensed by monitoring the fluctuation of the water seal surface.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 3, Figure 3 A diagram illustrating a woman urinating is provided. This indicates the direction and trajectory of urine radiation, which, when a woman urinates, causes the toilet water to smear. This generates fluctuations, forming water waves. .

[0034] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4 A diagram illustrating the act of defecating is shown. This indicates that feces entering the water caused the water surface to become contaminated. Fluctuations occur.

[0035] Therefore, a user's "urination" or "defecation" will cause the water surface to fluctuate. However, the fluctuations caused by defecation and urination differ in amplitude and frequency. Therefore, this invention uses an infrared sensor to identify the amount of fluctuation of the water surface, which includes the aforementioned fluctuation amplitude and fluctuation frequency.

[0036] Therefore, based on the above principles, please refer to Figures 5 to 9 As shown, this utility model provides a smart toilet for health detection, including a toilet body 2 and a cover assembly 3 connected to the toilet body 2. A water surface is formed inside the toilet body 2. One of the toilet body 2 or the cover assembly 3 is provided with an infrared sensor 1 that detects the water surface, and an infrared receiver for receiving the infrared signal emitted by the infrared sensor. The infrared sensor 1 detects the fluctuation of the water surface by emitting infrared signals and receives them through the infrared receiver. The device also includes a controller, and the infrared receiver transmits signals to the controller.

[0037] As a preferred option, Figure 2 For example, an infrared sensor emits an infrared light signal to the water cover. Record water cover When calm, the reflected infrared radiation signal serves as the primary characteristic value; the water surface generates ripples, forming water waves. Infrared sensors detect water waves The fluctuation parameter value is used as the second characterization value. The first characterization value is subtracted from the second characterization value. If the difference between the second characterization value and the first characterization value exceeds a set threshold, it is judged as "defecation behavior"; otherwise, it is judged as "urination behavior". It should be noted that due to the different heights of different toilet bodies, water cover sizes, and the use of infrared sensors, the set threshold can be set according to the products of those skilled in the art, and is not limited here.

[0038] The following is the first embodiment of the sewage discharge structure of this utility model:

[0039] Please see Figure 5The toilet body 2 is provided with an upper sewage pipe 21, a first three-way electromagnetic valve 22 connected with the upper sewage pipe 21, a first pipeline 23 and a second pipeline 24 connected with the first three-way electromagnetic valve 22, and a small-urine sampler connected with the first pipeline 23. When the fluctuation height is lower than a set threshold value or the fluctuation frequency is higher than a set threshold value, the controller determines that it is a small-urine behavior. When it is determined that it is a small-urine behavior, the controller controls the first three-way electromagnetic valve 22 to make the upper sewage pipe 21 communicate with the first pipeline 23, so that the small-urine is guided into the small-urine sampler. The small-urine detection device comprises the small-urine sampler, and the small-urine detection device can analyze and detect the urine, so that the user can know the health status in time. The controller, the first three-way electromagnetic valve 22 and the infrared sensor are matched, so that the urine can enter the small-urine sampler correctly after each time of urination, and automatic diversion is realized.

[0040] In the first embodiment, the second pipeline 24 is connected with a large-urine sampler. When the fluctuation height is higher than a set threshold value or the fluctuation frequency is lower than a set threshold value, the controller determines that it is a large-urine behavior. When it is determined that it is a large-urine behavior, the controller controls the first three-way electromagnetic valve 22 to make the upper sewage pipe 21 communicate with the second pipeline 24, so that the large-urine is guided into the large-urine sampler. The large-urine detection device comprises the large-urine sampler, and the large-urine detection device can analyze and detect the excrement, so that the user can know the health status in time. The controller, the first three-way electromagnetic valve 22 and the infrared sensor are matched, so that the excrement can enter the large-urine sampler correctly after each time of defecation, and automatic diversion is realized.

[0041] In the first embodiment, the first pipeline 23 extends in a horizontal direction, and the second pipeline 24 extends in a vertical direction. According to the characteristics of the excrement and the urine, the first pipeline 23 and the second pipeline 24 are arranged, so that the excrement and the urine can enter the small-urine sampler and the large-urine sampler, respectively.

[0042] The following is a second embodiment of the sewage structure of the utility model:

[0043] Please refer to Figure 6 The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that a second three-way electromagnetic valve 25 is further arranged, the upper end of the second three-way electromagnetic valve 25 is connected with the second pipeline 24, the lower end of the second three-way electromagnetic valve 25 is connected with a lower sewage pipe 27, the side end of the second three-way electromagnetic valve 25 is connected with a third pipeline 26, and the large-urine sampler is connected with the third pipeline 26.

[0044] When the controller determines that the fluctuation of the water surface is a "defecation behavior", the controller controls the first three-way electromagnetic valve 22 and the second three-way electromagnetic valve 25 to make the feces enter the defecation sampler through the upper drain pipe 21, the first three-way electromagnetic valve 22, the second pipe 24 and the third pipe 26.

[0045] In the second embodiment, the first pipe 23 and the second pipe 24 are arranged on both sides of the upper drain pipe 21 respectively, so that the defecation sampler and the urine sampler are arranged in the space on both sides of the toilet body 2 respectively, the integration of the intelligent toilet is higher, and multiple functions are integrated into a compact design, so that the user experience and the intelligent level of the product are improved.

[0046] When the defecation structure of the second embodiment is used, the utility model further provides the following use mode based on the infrared sensor.

[0047] The change of the light absorption rate of urine can provide important clues for diagnosing various urinary system diseases, including urinary tract infection, inflammation, metabolic disease, abnormal kidney function, etc. The above symptoms will cause long-lasting foam in urine, change of urine transparency or change of urine color, etc., thereby causing the difference in light absorption rate before and after use. Based on the above characteristics, when the light absorption rate difference measured on the two sides is large, the user has a health problem of urination. If an abnormal change of the light absorption rate of urine is observed, the controller is used to make the urine enter the urine sampler, so that more professional analysis and detection are performed to analyze the reason causing the above symptoms.

[0048] In order to detect the change of the light absorption rate of urine, the infrared sensor detects the "urination behavior", and then detects the difference in reflected light of the water surface before and after use through the infrared sensor. When the difference exceeds the set threshold, the controller is used to control the first three-way electromagnetic valve 22 to make the urine enter the urine sampler through the first pipe 23, so that more professional analysis and detection are performed.

[0049] If the falling speed of the feces is very fast, it may indicate that the intestinal peristalsis is fast, which may be caused by diarrhea. If the interval time of the falling of the feces is very long, it may mean that the intestinal peristalsis is slow, which may be a sign of constipation.

[0050] Therefore, when the infrared sensor detects that the fluctuation frequency of the water surface is too fast or too slow, it is determined that the user has constipation or diarrhea. At this time, the controller is used to control the first three-way electromagnetic valve 22 and the second three-way electromagnetic valve 25 to make the feces enter the defecation sampler, so that more professional analysis and detection are performed to analyze the reason causing the above symptoms.

[0051] As preferred, the infrared sensor 1 is a transceiver integrated sensor, the cover plate assembly 3 is provided with an extension 31 extending towards the water seal surface, and the infrared sensor 1 is arranged in the extension 31. By arranging the infrared sensor in the extension 31, the position of the infrared sensor is reasonable, does not affect the normal use of the intelligent closestool, and can facilitate the infrared sensor to emit infrared signals to the water seal surface.

[0052] Please refer to Figures 7 to 9 The cover plate assembly 3 comprises a base 32 and an upper seat 33, the closestool body 2 is fixedly provided with a connecting piece 4, the base 32 is connected with the connecting piece 4, and the infrared sensor 1 is fixedly arranged on the base 32, so that the closestool body 2 and the cover plate assembly 3 can be transported and assembled separately, and electronic components such as a controller can be integrally arranged between the base 32 and the upper seat 33, thereby being fixed and protected.

[0053] The cover plate assembly 3 further comprises a closestool cover 331 and a closestool seat ring 332, and the closestool cover 331 and the closestool seat ring 332 are rotatably connected to the upper seat 33, so that the cover plate assembly 3 integrates all accessories of the intelligent closestool. Through the above structure, the integration degree of the intelligent closestool is higher, multiple functions are integrated into a compact design, thereby improving user experience and the intelligent level of the product, and facilitating transportation and installation of the intelligent closestool.
