Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of intelligent toilet, in particular to an intelligent toilet seat and an intelligent toilet. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the popularization and application of intelligent toilets, more and more functions are developed to meet the needs of users, such as cleaning, drying, and flushing after leaving the seat, etc. However, many functions depend on whether the user is seated on the seat as a trigger condition to avoid the functions being mistakenly started.

[0003] At present, the existing intelligent toilet seat generally uses a capacitive sensor to detect whether the user is seated. The capacitive sensor is arranged in the seat and closely attached to the upper surface. Whether the user is seated is determined by detecting the change of the capacitance after the user's skin contacts the outer surface of the seat. However, since some users usually wear a seat cover on the seat, the basic capacitance is changed, so that the capacitive sensor cannot detect that the user has been seated when the user is seated. Or, when the user changes the sitting posture or the user with a small body shape sits on the seat, the skin does not contact the upper surface of the capacitive sensor assembly position, so the user cannot be detected to have been seated, thereby causing the functions of the intelligent toilet to be unable to be normally started, affecting the user experience. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an intelligent toilet seat and an intelligent toilet capable of solving the above technical problems.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present application provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] An intelligent toilet seat, the intelligent toilet seat comprising:

[0007] a shell;

[0009] a pressure sensor mounted on the shell, the pressure sensor having a pressure receiving surface, and the pressure sensor abuts against the foot pad through the pressure receiving surface;

[0010] When the shell is pressed, the foot pad elastically deforms and pushes the pressure receiving surface to trigger the pressure sensor.

[0011] It can be understood that the intelligent toilet seat of the present application detects whether the user has been seated by triggering the pressure sensor when the foot pad elastically deforms. On the one hand, this can improve the sensitivity and accuracy of detection when the intelligent toilet seat is working. On the other hand, the structural characteristics of the foot pad can be utilized to prevent the pressure sensor from being damaged due to excessive pressure, thereby prolonging the service life of the pressure sensor.

[0012] In one of the embodiments, a support is formed on the foot pad, and the support is arranged to extend towards the shell;

[0013] The support has a pushing surface, and the pushing surface is in surface-to-surface contact with the pressure receiving surface.

[0014] It can be understood that the pushing surface of the support is in surface-to-surface contact with the pressure receiving surface, so as to increase the effective contact area between the pushing surface and the pressure receiving surface when the pushing surface pushes the pressure receiving surface, and improve the sensitivity of the support when pushing the pressure sensor.

[0015] In one of the embodiments, the foot pad is partially convex away from the shell and has a protruding portion;

[0016] The protruding portion is arranged on the foot pad on the side away from the pushing surface along the extension direction of the support.

[0017] It can be understood that the protruding portion is partially convex outward relative to the foot pad, so that when the shell is pressed, the protruding portion on the foot pad can concentrate the pressure and move towards the pressure sensor, and drive the support to push the pressure receiving surface of the pressure sensor, so as to improve the sensitivity of the support when pushing the pressure receiving surface and triggering the pressure sensor, and ensure that the pressure sensor can be triggered by the foot pad.

[0018] In one of the embodiments, the shell includes an upper shell and a lower shell, and the lower shell is arranged on one side of the upper shell and connected with the upper shell;

[0019] The pressure sensor is mounted on the lower shell.

[0020] In one of the embodiments, the pressure sensor is arranged on the side of the lower shell facing the upper shell;

[0021] The lower shell is connected with a pressing cover, the pressing cover is in abutment with the pressure sensor to limit the position of the pressure sensor, and the pressure sensor is fixed to the lower shell by the pressing cover.

[0022] In one of the embodiments, the pressure sensor is arranged on the side of the lower shell away from the upper shell and in abutment with the foot pad to limit the position of the foot pad.

[0023] In one of the embodiments, the foot pad is connected with the lower shell in a clamping manner.

[0024] It can be understood that the foot pad is connected with the lower shell in a clamping manner, so as to facilitate the assembly of the foot pad on the lower shell.

[0025] In one of the embodiments, the number of the foot pads is configured to be multiple, and the multiple foot pads are arranged in sequence along the circumferential direction of the shell, and the multiple foot pads are used together to support the shell.

[0026] In one of the embodiments, the number of the pressure sensors is configured to be one, and the pressure sensor can be triggered by one of the foot pads.

[0027] In one of the embodiments, the pressure sensor is configured to be a ceramic pressure sensor.

[0028] It can be understood that the configuration of the pressure sensor as a ceramic pressure sensor makes the pressure sensor available on site, which has the effect of reducing the cost.

[0029] The present application also claims to protect an intelligent toilet comprising the intelligent toilet seat as described above.

[0030] Due to the application of the above scheme, the present application has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0031] The intelligent toilet seat and the intelligent toilet claimed by the present application detect whether the user has sat down by triggering the pressure sensor when the foot pad elastically deforms, which can improve the sensitivity and accuracy of the detection of the intelligent toilet seat during operation, and can also prevent the pressure sensor from being damaged due to excessive pressure by utilizing the structural characteristics of the foot pad, thereby prolonging the service life of the pressure sensor.

[0045] As shown in Figures 1 to 3 The intelligent toilet seat 100 provided by the first embodiment of the present application comprises a shell 10, a foot pad 20 and a pressure sensor 30. The foot pad 20 is installed on the shell 10, and the foot pad 20 partially extends outward relative to the shell 10. The pressure sensor 30 is installed on the shell 10. The pressure sensor 30 has a pressure receiving surface 31, and the pressure sensor 30 abuts against the foot pad 20 through the pressure receiving surface 31. When the shell 10 is pressed, the foot pad 20 elastically deforms and pushes the pressure receiving surface 31, so as to trigger the pressure sensor 30.

[0046] As can be seen from the above, the intelligent toilet seat 100 of the present application detects whether a user has sat down by triggering the pressure sensor 30 when the foot pad 20 elastically deforms. In this way, on the one hand, the sensitivity and accuracy of detection of the intelligent toilet seat 100 during operation can be improved.
