[0002] In the smart toilet industry, the application of scale inhibitors is crucial for ensuring the long-term stable operation of the product. The main function of a scale inhibitor is to prevent minerals in the water from forming scale inside the toilet bowl, thereby extending the lifespan of the device and improving the user experience. Scale inhibitors are integrated into the water system of a smart toilet, typically installed inside the motor mechanism; however, replacing and maintaining scale inhibitors is relatively complex. Once the scale inhibitor runs out or becomes ineffective, users usually need to disassemble a portion of the motor mechanism to replace the scale inhibitor, which not only increases the difficulty of operation but may also affect the product's warranty period. Furthermore, frequent disassembly can adversely affect the sealing and stability of the motor mechanism. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0028] This utility model relates to a scale inhibitor mounting structure, including a core 100 and a scale inhibitor module 200. The scale inhibitor mounting structure is mainly used in smart toilet seats or smart toilets.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the mechanism 100 includes a housing 110, which houses the circuit board, controller, and other components of the mechanism 100. A scale inhibitor module 200 is installed on the bottom outer side of the housing 110 and can be fixed by snap-fitting, screw tightening, or other methods. The scale inhibitor module 200 is equipped with an inlet pipe 210 and an outlet pipe 220. The inlet pipe 210 and outlet pipe 220 extend upwards, passing through the housing 110 from its bottom. When the scale inhibitor mounting structure is applied to a toilet, the housing 110 can be installed on the upper part of the toilet tank, with the scale inhibitor module 200 extending into the water cavity of the tank. The outlet pipe 220 is connected to the tank via other connecting pipes inside the housing 110, and the inlet pipe 210 can be connected to the tank or directly to an external water supply pipe. When the scale inhibitor module 200 needs to be replaced or the scale inhibitor needs to be replenished, simply remove the entire core 100 from the water tank. There is no need to disassemble the internal structure of the core 100 housing 110. The scale inhibitor module 200 can be installed and removed from the bottom of the housing 110, making installation and removal more convenient.

[0030] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the scale inhibition module 200 includes a housing 230, an electrically controlled valve 240, and a scale inhibition core 250. The electrically controlled valve 240 can be a solenoid valve or other electrically controlled valve component. An inlet pipe 210 and an outlet pipe 220 are disposed on the housing 230. The inlet pipe 210 and the outlet pipe 220 can be integrally formed on the housing 230 or installed as independent components on the housing 230. The housing 230 also includes a first channel 231, a second channel 232, and a scale inhibition chamber 233. The first channel 231 is disposed between the inlet pipe 210 and the outlet pipe 220, allowing them to communicate. The second channel 232 is disposed between the inlet pipe 210 and the outlet pipe 220, allowing them to communicate. The scale inhibition core 250 is installed in the scale inhibition chamber 233, which communicates with the second channel 232. The electrically controlled valve 240 can be installed outside the housing 230, with its valve stem 241 extending into the housing 230. The electrically controlled valve 240 controls the opening of one of the first channel 231 and the second channel 232 and closes the other. The valve stem 241 of the electrically controlled valve 240 is located between the upstream end of the first channel 231 and the upstream end of the second channel 232. Normally, the valve stem 241 of the electrically controlled valve 240 is away from the first channel 231, and the inlet pipe 210 is connected to the outlet pipe 220 through the first channel 231. At this time, the valve stem 241 of the electrically controlled valve 240 abuts against and seals the end of the second channel 232, and the inlet pipe 210 is not connected to the second channel 232. External water can flow sequentially through the inlet pipe 210, the first channel 231, and the outlet pipe 220 for discharge and use. When the valve stem 241 of the solenoid valve 240 moves to abut and seal the end of the first channel 231, the inlet pipe 210 is no longer connected to the first channel 231. At this time, the valve stem 241 moves away from the second channel 232, and the inlet pipe 210 is connected to the second channel 232. External water flows in from the inlet pipe 210, through the second channel 232, and into the scale inhibition chamber 233. The water comes into contact with the scale inhibition core 250, and some of the scale inhibitor dissolves in the water. Then the water flows back into the second channel 232 and is discharged from the outlet pipe 220 for use. Depending on the actual usage, the solenoid valve 240 can be used to select whether to connect the first channel 231 or the second channel 232 to the inlet pipe 210, thereby selecting whether to perform descaling. When the scale inhibition module 200 enters the toilet tank, the electric control valve 240 can be immersed in the water in the tank. The water cools the electric control valve 240 in real time, which avoids the problem of the electric control valve 240 not closing tightly and water flowing between the two water circuits due to the excessive heat of the coil during use, which increases the resistance and reduces the current.

[0031] Based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the housing 110 is provided with a first connecting pipe 111 and a second connecting pipe 112. The first connecting pipe 111 and the second connecting pipe 112 extend vertically upward from the bottom of the housing 110 into the interior of the housing 110. The water inlet pipe 210 is inserted into the first connecting pipe 111 from bottom to top. A sealing ring can be fitted on the water inlet pipe 210 to increase the water tightness with the first connecting pipe 111. The water outlet pipe 220 is inserted into the second connecting pipe 112 from bottom to top. A sealing ring can be fitted on the water outlet pipe 220 to increase the water tightness with the second connecting pipe 112. The first connecting pipe 111 and the second connecting pipe 112 can be connected to the external water pipe inside the housing 110 firstly. The scale inhibitor module 200 is installed simply by inserting the water inlet pipe 210 and the water outlet pipe 220 into the first connecting pipe 111 and the second connecting pipe 112 respectively, and then locking the housing 230 onto the housing 110. The installation and removal are very convenient.

[0032] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, a connecting post 113 is provided at the bottom of the housing 110. A connecting part 234 is provided on the housing 230. The connecting part 234 can extend from one side of the housing 230 in the form of a plate. The connecting post 113 and the connecting part 234 are connected by screws to fix the housing 230 to the bottom of the housing 110.

[0033] The mechanism 100 contains a water pump. One of the inlet pipe 210 and the outlet pipe 220 is connected to the water pump. The water pump draws water from the toilet tank, flows it through the scale inhibitor module 200, and then returns it to the tank for descaling.
