Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0026] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set", "mount", "connected", "connected" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or integrally connected; it can be mechanically connected, or it can be electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be connected inside two elements. For ordinary skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0027] First embodiment:

[0028] A control structure applied to a smart toilet cover, as shown in Figures 1 to 3 The driving part 2 rotates with the toilet cover 8, the driving part 2 is used to drive the rotating shaft 3 to rotate, and the control switch 6 is used to control the toilet flushing. When the rotating shaft 3 rotates in the first direction, the control switch 6 is started through the transmission 4; when the rotating shaft 3 rotates in the second direction, the reset part 5 resets, and the transmission 4 and the reset part 5 are located on the same side of the rotating shaft 3.

[0029] It also includes a fixed seat 1 arranged on the toilet, the rotating shaft 3 is rotatably connected in the fixed seat 1, the driving part 2 extends into the fixed seat 1, the driving part 2 is located above the rotating shaft 3, the driving part 2 drives the rotating shaft 3 to rotate by pushing the top end of the rotating shaft 3. When the toilet cover 8 rotates within the preset angle range, the driving part 2 abuts against the rotating shaft 3 to drive the transmission; when the toilet cover 8 rotates outside the preset angle range, the driving part 2 is separated from the rotating shaft 3.

[0030] When the rotating shaft 3 rotates in the first direction, the first end of the rotating shaft 3 moves toward the transmission member 4 and the second end moves away from the reset member 5; when the rotating shaft 3 rotates in the second direction, the first end of the rotating shaft 3 moves away from the transmission member 4 and the second end moves toward the reset member 5.

[0031] When the toilet seat 8 is closed, it drives the rotating shaft 3 to rotate in the first direction, activating the control switch 6. When the toilet seat 8 is open, it drives the rotating shaft 3 to rotate in the second direction, but does not activate the control switch 6. This embodiment also includes a control unit and a flushing assembly. The control unit controls the flushing assembly to start flushing based on the trigger signal from the control switch. The control switch is powered by AC power or a battery. Specifically, the control unit is the mainboard of the toilet, and the control switch 6 is connected to the mainboard. The control switch 6 sends a command to the flushing port to initiate flushing, activating the flushing assembly. The flushing port on the mainboard can be powered by either AC power or a dry cell battery, allowing the flushing function to be triggered even during a power outage.

[0032] A mounting wall 7 is provided inside the fixed base 1 and located between the rotating shaft 3 and the control switch 6. The transmission component 4 includes a first pin 401 slidably connected to the mounting wall 7, and the first pin 401 is arranged in a horizontal direction. The transmission component 4 also includes a first return spring 402 sleeved on the first pin 401. When the driving component 2 rotates in the first direction, causing the rotating shaft 3 to rotate in the first direction ( Figure 2 The first pin 401 moves towards the control switch 6 when the drive component 2 rotates clockwise (clockwise), pressing the switch contact 9 of the control switch 6, thereby activating the control switch 6. When the drive component 2 separates from the rotating shaft 3, the first return spring 402 drives the first pin 401 back to its original position, thereby restoring the rotating shaft 3 to a vertical state.

[0033] The reset component 5 includes a second pin 501 slidably connected to the mounting wall 7, the second pin 501 being parallel to the first pin 401. The reset component 5 also includes a second reset spring 502 sleeved on the second pin 501, which, when the driving component 2 rotates in the second direction, causes the rotating shaft 3 to rotate in the second direction (…). Figure 2 When the shaft rotates counterclockwise, the shaft 3 will not push the transmission component 4, thus preventing the control switch 6 from starting. At this time, the shaft 3 will push the second pin 501 to compress the second return spring 502. When the drive component 2 separates from the shaft 3, the second pin 501 will return to its original position due to the rebound of the second return spring 502, thereby resetting the shaft 3 and restoring it to a vertical state.

[0034] The rotating shaft 3 rotates around a rotating shaft arranged in the middle of the rotating shaft, the first bolt 401 is located at the first end of the rotating shaft, and the second bolt 501 is located at the second end of the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft 3 can be in an intermediate balance state after being separated from the driving part 2 under the action of the first reset spring 402 and the second reset spring 502.

[0035] The control switch 6 can be a micro switch or a sensor, and in the embodiment, the control switch 6 is a micro switch. The control switch 6 is installed in the fixed seat 1, and the switch contact 9 of the control switch 6 faces the direction of the first bolt 401.

[0036] As shown in Figure 4 The flushing structure further comprises a shaft sleeve 10 arranged on the toilet cover plate 8, the shaft sleeve 10 is connected with the toilet cover plate 8 through an ivory shaft 11, the shaft sleeve 10 rotates synchronously with the toilet cover plate 8, the driving part 2 is arranged at the outer end of the shaft sleeve 10, so that the driving part 2 rotates synchronously with the toilet cover plate 8, and the driving part 2 protrudes outward and penetrates into the fixed seat 1.

[0037] The working process of the utility model is as follows:

[0038] As shown in Figure 2 When the user closes the cover downward, the driving part 2 rotates clockwise, the driving part 2 drives the top end (the first end) of the rotating shaft 3 to drive the rotating shaft 3 to rotate counterclockwise, the rotating shaft 3 pushes the first bolt 401 to the direction of the control switch 6, so that the control switch 6 is started to execute flushing, and the rotating shaft 3 restores to the vertical state under the action of the first reset spring 402.

[0039] When the user opens the cover upward, the driving part 2 rotates counterclockwise, the driving part 2 drives the top end (the first end) of the rotating shaft 3 to drive the rotating shaft 3 to rotate clockwise, at this time, the rotating shaft 3 will not push the first bolt 401, so as not to start flushing. The bottom end (the second end) of the rotating shaft 3 pushes the second bolt 501 to compress the second reset spring 502, and then when the driving part 2 is separated from the rotating shaft 3, the rotating shaft 3 restores to the vertical state under the action of the second reset spring 502.

[0040] The above only describes the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and is not used to limit the utility model, any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the design concept of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
