Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smart toilet seat technology, specifically to a wired smart toilet seat and a smart toilet. Background Technology

[0002] The automatic lid-opening function of smart toilets typically uses two or more sensors working together to control the automatic opening and closing of the toilet seat and lid, as well as the automatic flushing. While this design improves convenience and hygiene, it also increases the manufacturing cost of the toilet. The signals from multiple sensors working in tandem not only increases technical complexity but can also lead to malfunctions or a degraded user experience due to signal interference or asynchrony between sensors. For example, improper sensor sensitivity settings may cause the lid to open unexpectedly when not needed, or fail to open when required, causing inconvenience to the user. Furthermore, the increased number of sensors also means increased operating costs for the user.

[0003] Therefore, this invention is based on a single distance sensor, which can avoid the above-mentioned technical problems. However, how to power and transmit signals to the sensor located on the cover plate is a problem that this invention urgently needs to solve. Utility Model Content

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is intended to aid in understanding this utility model, but does not constitute a limitation thereof. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a wired smart toilet seat includes a mounting base 1, a cover plate 2, and a toilet seat ring 3. The mounting base 1 is provided with a first opening and closing mechanism 11 and a second opening and closing mechanism 12. The cover plate 2 is connected to the first opening and closing mechanism 11, and the toilet seat ring 3 is connected to the second opening and closing mechanism 12. It also includes a support cover 4 fixed to the front end of the cover plate 2. A distance sensor 5 is provided between the support cover 4 and the cover plate 2. The mounting base 1 is provided with a controller 6. The controller 6 is provided with a first wire 61 connected to the first opening and closing mechanism 11, a second wire 62 connected to the second opening and closing mechanism 12, and a third wire 7 connecting the controller 6 and the distance sensor 5. The cover plate 2 is provided with a wire groove 21 for placing the third wire 7.

[0025] The third wire 7 provides the distance sensor 5 with a signal transmission wire 72 and a power supply wire 73. The wired connection can effectively avoid problems such as electromagnetic interference and signal attenuation in wireless transmission, ensuring the stability of signal transmission and enabling the distance sensor 5 to accurately detect the user's approach, laying the foundation for stable transmission of control signals. In addition, wired power supply can provide the distance sensor 5 with continuous and stable power, avoiding abnormal device operation due to insufficient power supply or fluctuations, ensuring stable system operation. Compared with wireless transmission, there is no need to set up a wireless charging module, reducing product costs.

[0026] The wire groove 21 is arranged along the inner wall of the periphery of the cover plate 2, so as to avoid affecting the appearance of the product when the cover plate 2 is in the open position, and to wrap and protect the third wire 7 through the wire groove 21, thereby improving the service life of the third wire 7.

[0027] The third conductor 7 includes a rubber sheath 71, and a signal transmission conductor 72 and a power supply conductor 73 disposed in the rubber sheath 71. The rubber sheath 71 combines the signal transmission conductor 72 and the power supply conductor 73 into a single wire for easy connection and use.

[0028] The mounting base 1 includes an upper cover 13 and a lower cover 14, which together form the outer shell of the mounting base 1. The upper cover 13 is provided with a clearance groove 131 for the third wire 7. The first opening and closing mechanism 11 and the second opening and closing mechanism 12 are fixedly installed in the lower cover 14. The third wire 7 includes a first wire 74 and a second wire 75. The first wire 74 and the second wire 75 are connected inside the mounting base 1. The other end of the first wire 74 is connected to the controller 6, and the other end of the second wire 75 is connected to the distance sensor 5. Thus, when the cover plate 2 is assembled or disassembled for maintenance, the first wire 74 and the second wire 75 can be connected or disconnected for easy disassembly and assembly.

[0029] Reference Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a wire protector 8, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the third conductor 7 and located in the relief groove 131. During the opening and closing process of the cover plate 2, the third conductor 7 will move. In order to prevent the third conductor 7 from rubbing against the inner wall of the relief groove 131 during the movement, which would cause the rubber sleeve 71 of the third guide to wear, the wire protector 8 is provided to protect it.

[0030] Reference Figure 6As shown, specifically, the wire protector 8 includes a wire protector tube 81 and a nut 82. One end of the wire protector tube 81 is provided with a limiting part 811, and the other end of the wire protector tube 81 is provided with a tapered threaded part 812. The wire protector tube 81 has an opening groove 813 that extends through it along its length. The nut 82 is connected to the tapered threaded part 812. The diameter of the limiting part 811 is larger than the diameter of the relief groove 131. During the connection between the nut 82 and the tapered threaded part 812, the third wire 7 will be clamped. During assembly, the third wire 7 is pre-embedded into the wire protector tube 81 along the opening groove 813. The nut 82 and the wire protector tube 81 are respectively set at the upper and lower ends of the lower compartment cover 14. During the connection between the nut 82 and the tapered threaded part 812, the third wire 7 will be clamped. During the opening and closing process of the cover plate 2, the third conductor 7 will move up and down, which will drive the protective tube 81 to move up and down. The protective tube 81 rubs against the relief groove 131, thereby avoiding wear on the rubber sheath 71. The protective tube 81 can be made of wear-resistant hard plastic, such as polypropylene (PP).

[0031] On the other hand, this utility model provides a smart toilet, including a wired smart toilet seat as described in any of the preceding claims. The smart toilet seat 2 is disposed on the toilet body 9, and its specific control steps are as follows:

[0032] When a target user approaches the smart toilet and is detected by the distance sensor, it indicates that the target user wants to use the smart toilet. At this time, the smart toilet seat needs to be controlled to open automatically, as follows:

[0033] In the first state where the cover plate 2 is closed, when the distance sensor 5 detects that the target user is approaching, that is, when the target user is within the detection range of the distance sensor 5, the proximity signal is transmitted to the controller 6 through the third wire 7. The controller 6 receives the signal and determines it as a proximity signal. Then, the controller 6 controls the first opening mechanism to open the cover plate 2 according to the signal and through the first wire 61.

[0034] After the toilet seat 2 opens automatically, further detection is needed to determine whether the target user intends to use the toilet in a sitting or standing position. The sitting position is suitable for women defecating or urinating, and for men defecating; the standing position is suitable for men urinating. Specific controls are as follows:

[0035] The distance sensor 5 continuously detects the target user's gestures and transmits these gestures to the controller 6 via the third wire 7. Based on the gestures and the opening / closing positions of the toilet seat 2 and the toilet lid 3, the controller 6 controls the first lid-opening mechanism via the first wire 61, the second lid-opening mechanism via the second wire 62, and the flushing mechanism via the fourth wire. Specifically:

[0036] In the second state where the lid 2 is open, and when the controller 6 detects that the target user is making a first gesture, it controls the second lid opening mechanism to open the toilet seat 3. This step is mainly applicable to the target user who wants to use the toilet in a standing position, at which time the toilet seat 3 is opened by controlling the first gesture.

[0037] As shown in the figure, in the second state where the cover 2 is open, and when the controller 6 detects that the target user is making a second gesture, it controls the first opening mechanism to close the cover 2, and then controls the flushing mechanism to automatically flush. This step is mainly applicable to situations where the target user has finished using the toilet in a sitting position, and at this time, the cover 2 is closed and automatically flushed by controlling the second gesture.

[0038] In the third state, with both the toilet seat 2 and the toilet lid 3 open, and when the controller 6 detects a third gesture from the target user, it controls the second opening mechanism to close the toilet lid 3, controls the first opening mechanism to close the toilet seat 2, and controls the flushing mechanism to automatically flush. This step is mainly applicable when the target user has finished using the toilet while standing. Automatic flushing can occur before or after the toilet lid 2 is closed; the order is not limited. Preferably, the target user controls the toilet lid 3 to close first, then the toilet seat 2 to close, and finally flushes automatically, preventing splashing of waste during flushing.

[0039] As a further improvement, when the user needs to flush the toilet body 9 during cleaning or in other situations, in the second state where the lid 2 is open or in the third state where both the lid 2 and the toilet seat 3 are open, and when the controller 6 detects that the target user is making a fourth gesture, the flushing mechanism is controlled to automatically flush.

[0040] Preferably, the first gesture is a downward-to-upward movement of the target user's hand. Therefore, when the target user's hand swings upward, the toilet seat 3 can be opened, allowing the man to urinate.

[0041] The second and third gestures are the target user's gestures moving from top to bottom. Therefore, when the target user's gesture swings from top to bottom, the controller 6 determines whether the toilet seat 3 is in the closed position through the second lid opening mechanism. If the toilet seat 3 is in the closed position, only the lid 2 is closed, and then flushing is performed. If neither the lid 2 nor the toilet seat 3 is closed, then the toilet seat 3 and the lid 2 are closed sequentially, and then flushing is performed.

[0042] The fourth gesture is a horizontal movement of the target user's gesture. This horizontal movement includes left-right or forward-backward movements, thus avoiding differentiation from the vertical movements of the first, second, and third gestures, preventing confusion between different gestures, improving the accuracy and efficiency of gesture recognition by the controller 6, and enhancing the user experience.
