Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an intelligent toilet, and more particularly to a modular intelligent toilet. Background Technology
[0002] The functional modules on smart toilets are typically installed in two ways. One is by installing them inside the back cover, such as the smart toilet disclosed in authorization announcement number CN220832874U. In this design, the toilet body has a back cover at the rear, and the control unit is located inside the back cover; the functional module is then pivotally connected to the back cover. The other method involves embedding the functional module, either entirely or partially, into the ceramic body before assembling the back cover. The cover assembly rotates around the back cover. For example, the high-safety integrated smart toilet disclosed in authorization announcement number CN210621862U has its functional devices installed in a base, which is mounted on the main body. The cover assembly seals the base to the main body.
[0003] Because the functional modules are located inside or at the bottom of the back cover, if a functional module malfunctions, maintenance requires not only removing the back cover but also the seat ring / lid assembly, rendering the toilet unusable as a regular toilet. Furthermore, numerous problems can easily arise during maintenance and after-sales service, such as: 1. Communication difficulties: The numerous technical terms involved in repairs often confuse customers, leading to communication breakdowns. 2. Long repair cycles: Unexpected situations such as parts shortages and technical difficulties can extend the repair cycle. 3. Unstable service quality: Inconsistent skill levels among repair personnel result in inconsistent service quality, potentially leading to inadequate repairs. 4. Delayed parts supply: The usage and return of parts after requisition cannot be tracked, lacking data to support parts forecasting and inventory management, resulting in untimely parts supply. 5. Parts quality issues: Poor parts quality leads to customer concerns and dissatisfaction, impacting customer trust and satisfaction. 6. High parts costs: High parts management costs, including inventory management and logistics costs, affect the company's profitability. Utility Model Content

[0027] Example 1
[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 A modular smart toilet includes a ceramic basin module 10, a functional module 20, and a cover module 30. The functional module enables one or more functions of the smart toilet, such as feminine wash, posterior wash, deodorization, drying, and lighting, as shown in existing structures. The ceramic basin module 10 has a toilet bowl 12 at the front of its top surface and a recess 14 at the rear. The cover module 30 includes a rear cover 32 and a cover assembly 34 for covering the toilet bowl. The cover assembly 34 typically includes a top cover and a seat ring, corresponding to the toilet bowl. The rear cover 32 is connected to the top surface of the ceramic basin module 10, and the cover assembly 34 is rotatably connected to the rear cover 32. The functional module 20 is located at the rear end of the top surface of the ceramic basin module 10, with its bottom extending into the recess 14. The functional module 20, rear cover 32, and cover assembly 34 are arranged sequentially from back to front on the top surface of the ceramic basin module 10 from a top-down perspective. The functional module 20 is detachably connected to the ceramic basin module 10 or the rear cover 32. The functional module 20 can be removed independently while the rear cover 32 is connected to the ceramic basin module 10. In other words, if it is necessary to remove the functional module, it is not necessary to remove the rear cover first; the functional module can be removed directly while the rear cover remains connected to the ceramic basin module, thus allowing the cover assembly to still rotate relative to the rear cover.
[0029] Preferably, the functional module 20 is provided with a male connector 22, and the rear cover 32 is provided with a female connector 36, wherein the male connector 22 and the female connector 36 are electrically connected. This allows the cover assembly to be powered for heating, lighting, or deodorization, and the male and female connectors can be quickly connected or disconnected.
[0030] Preferably, the functional module 20 has a retaining tab 24 extending towards the rear cover 32, and the male connector 22 is disposed on the retaining tab 24, which extends to the bottom of the rear cover 32. Therefore, the male and female connectors can be more stably connected, and when the functional module needs to be removed, the male and female connectors can be separated simply by slightly moving the rear cover upwards, without needing to disassemble the rear cover.
[0031] Preferably, the outer shell structure of the functional module 20 includes a base and a cover.
[0032] Preferably, the functional module 20 is connected to the ceramic basin module 10 or the back cover 32 by an interference fit, a snap-fit, or a screw fixing method.
[0033] Preferably, the rear cover 32 is detachably connected to the ceramic basin module by means of interference fit, snap-fit, or screw fixing.
[0034] Example 2
[0035] Please refer to Figures 5 to 8 The second embodiment of the modular smart toilet differs from the first embodiment mainly in the cover module. Instead of the rear cover located above the ceramic basin module in the first embodiment, a connecting seat recessed into the ceramic basin module is used. The structure of the second embodiment is described below. The modular smart toilet includes a ceramic basin module 40, a functional module 50, and a cover module 60. A toilet bowl 42 is provided at the front of the top surface of the ceramic basin module 40, and a groove 44 is provided at the rear of the top surface. The cover module 60 includes a cover assembly 62 corresponding to the toilet bowl, used to cover the toilet bowl. The cover module also includes a connecting seat 64, which is disposed within the groove 14. The cover assembly 62 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 64. The functional module 50 is detachably connected to the connecting seat 64. The functional module 50 and the cover assembly 62 are adjacent to each other on the top surface of the ceramic basin module 10 from a top-down perspective. The connector 64 is provided with a male plug-in terminal 66 and a water channel adapter structure 68. The functional module 50 is provided with a female plug-in terminal 52 and a water channel connector 54. The male plug-in terminal 66 is electrically connected to the female plug-in terminal 52, and the water channel adapter structure 68 is connected to the water channel connector 54.
[0036] Preferably, the water circuit transition structure 68 is equipped with a flow-stopping switch for cutting off the water flow. When the water circuit connector 54 is connected to the water circuit transition structure 68, it contacts and closes the flow-stopping switch 68, at which point the water circuit is open. The flow-stopping switch automatically resumes its flow-stopping function after the water circuit connector is separated from the water circuit transition structure, at which point the water circuit is cut off. Therefore, the water circuit can be automatically shut off when the functional module 50 is removed.
[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, and therefore cannot be used to limit the scope of the present utility model. All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the present utility model patent and the contents of the specification should still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
