[0002] As living standards improve, people's functional needs for toilets are gradually increasing, and smart toilets have emerged as a result. Existing smart toilets typically include a ceramic body and a lid. The lid is detachably installed on the ceramic body and usually integrates intelligent modules such as seat heating, warm water washing, and warm air drying.

[0003] Smart toilet seats typically consist of a back cover and a front cover. For ease of maintenance and quick replacement, the front cover uses a quick-release mechanism to install and fix it to the back cover. Because the front cover and back cover need to be opened and closed frequently, gaps can exist between the back cover and the quick-release mechanism during this process. Water can easily enter the back cover through these gaps, causing short circuits or oxidation corrosion of internal core components such as circuit boards and sensors. Long-term water accumulation can also lead to hidden faults such as rust on metal contacts and mold growth on flexible wiring. These damages are often irreversible, ultimately causing the smart toilet to malfunction.

[0004] In view of this, the designer of this utility model designed and developed this utility model. Utility Model Content
