Among them, the seat heating function is one of the core functions of the intelligent closestool, which can significantly improve the user's comfort, especially in cold seasons.

[0003] The structure of the commonly seen intelligent closestool seat with heating function in the market is usually composed of a seat body, a bottom cover and a heating element. The seat body and the bottom cover are connected to form an installation cavity inside, and the heating element is arranged inside the installation cavity. The heating element generates heat when powered on to increase the temperature of the surface of the seat body. Since the commonly used material of the seat body is PP plastic and ABS plastic, etc., the heat conductivity of these plastics is relatively poor, and the heat transfer speed is slow. Moreover, in order to ensure the structural strength and stability of the closestool seat, the thickness of the conventional seat body is usually about 5-10 mm. The over-thick seat body will further reduce the heat transfer speed, resulting in slow heating of the seat surface. It takes a long time for the heat to be transferred from the heating element to the surface of the seat body to reach a comfortable temperature (30-40℃), and the long waiting time will seriously affect the user experience.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a closestool seat with rapid heating function, which comprises a seat body, a support seat, a bottom cover and a heating device. The seat body and the bottom cover are connected, and a containing cavity is formed between the seat body and the bottom cover. The heating device and the support seat are both installed in the containing cavity.

[0007] The seat body is provided with a heating part in the area for contacting with the human body, and the thickness of the heating part is ≤2mm.

[0008] The bottom surface of the heating device and the heating part abut against each other, the top of the support seat and the heating device abut against each other, and the bottom of the support seat and the bottom cover are connected.

[0010] The heating element, the heating film, and the support base are shaped to match each other. The top surface of the heating film abuts against the bottom surface of the heating element, and the top surface of the support base abuts against the bottom surface of the heat insulation layer.

[0011] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the thickness of the heating part is 0.3mm to 1.5mm; or, the thickness of the heating part is 0.3mm to 1mm.

[0012] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the thickness of the heating part is 1mm to 2mm.

[0013] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the heating element is provided on the left and right sides of the seat body respectively;

[0014] The bottom surface of the seat ring body is recessed upwards in the area corresponding to the heating part to form a heating groove, and the electric heating film is installed in the heating groove.

[0020] Accordingly, this utility model also provides a smart toilet, including the aforementioned fast-heating toilet seat.

[0021] Implementing this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. This utility model improves the overall structure of the toilet seat, effectively increasing the heat transfer speed and allowing the surface of the seat to heat up quickly to a comfortable temperature (30-40°C). This significantly shortens the time it takes for heat to transfer from the heating element to the seat surface, improving the user experience.

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. This utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of this utility model.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0032] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model discloses a toilet seat ring that heats up quickly, including a seat ring body 1, a support base 2, a bottom cover 3, and a heating device 4. The seat ring body 1 and the bottom cover 3 are connected, and a receiving cavity 5 is formed between the seat ring body 1 and the bottom cover 3. The heating device 4 and the support base 2 are both installed in the receiving cavity 5.

[0034] The seat body 1 is provided with a heating part 11 in the area for contact with the human body, and the thickness of the heating part 11 is ≤2mm;

[0035] The bottom surfaces of the heating device 4 and the heating part 11 abut against each other, the top of the support base 2 abuts against the heating device 4, and the bottom of the support base 2 is connected to the bottom cover 3.

[0036] This invention improves the overall structure of the toilet seat by incorporating a heating element 11 with a thickness of ≤2mm within the seat body 1. Due to the thinness of the heating element 11 and the close contact between the heating device 4 and the bottom surface of the heating element 11, the heat transfer speed is effectively increased, allowing the surface of the seat body 1 to heat up quickly and reach a comfortable temperature (30-40℃). This significantly shortens the time it takes for heat to transfer from the heating device 4 to the surface of the seat body, thus enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, by providing a support seat 2 within the receiving cavity 5, with one end extending to the heating device 4 and the other end extending to the bottom cover 3, support is provided for the thin heating element, improving the overall strength and rigidity of the toilet seat. This allows the toilet seat to withstand greater external forces and loads without deformation or damage, thereby extending its service life.

[0037] Preferably, the shape of the heating device 4 is adapted to the shape of the receiving cavity 5.

[0038] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the heating device 4 includes an electrothermal film 41 and a heat insulation layer 42 disposed at the bottom of the electrothermal film 41.

[0039] The heating element 11, the electric heating film 41, and the support base 2 are matched in shape. The top surface of the electric heating film 41 abuts against the bottom surface of the heating element 11, and the top surface of the support base 2 abuts against the bottom surface of the heat insulation layer 42.

[0040] Since the top surface of the heating film 41 abuts against the bottom surface of the heating part 11, and the bottom of the heating film 41 is provided with a heat insulation layer 42, it can effectively block the heat from being transferred to non-target areas (i.e. downwards), reduce heat loss, and allow the heat generated by the heating film 41 to be transferred towards the heating part 11, thereby achieving precise heating of the heating part 11. This can further increase the heating rate of the surface of the seat ring body 1 and further shorten the time for the surface of the seat ring body 1 to reach the target temperature.

[0041] In some embodiments, the thickness of the heating element 11 is 0.3 mm to 1.5 mm. Within this thickness range, the heat transfer rate can be effectively increased, allowing the surface of the seat ring body 1 to heat up rapidly and reach a comfortable temperature (30 to 40°C), further shortening the time it takes for the surface of the seat ring body 1 to reach the target temperature, and further improving the user's comfort and experience.

[0042] It should be noted that the thickness of the heating part 11 should not be less than 0.3 mm. If the thickness is too thin, the heating part 11 will be difficult to form during the preparation of the seat body 1, which will reduce the pass rate of the seat body 1 production.

[0043] More preferably, the thickness of the heating part 11 is 0.3 mm to 1 mm. By further reducing the thickness of the heating part 11, the heat transfer speed can be further improved, the surface of the seat body 1 can be heated more quickly and reach a comfortable temperature (30 to 40°C), and the time it takes for the surface of the seat body 1 to reach the target temperature can be further shortened.

[0044] In some embodiments, the thickness of the heating part 11 can also be 1mm to 2mm. Within this thickness range, the heat transfer rate is within a suitable range, which is beneficial for the molding of the heating part 11 when preparing the seat body 1, and allows the heating part 11 to obtain a certain strength and not easily deformed.

[0045] Specifically, the thickness of the heating part 11 is exemplarily 0.3mm, 0.4mm, 0.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.7mm, 0.8mm, 0.9mm, 1mm, 1.1mm, 1.2mm, 1.3mm, 1.4mm, 1.5mm, 1.6mm, 1.7mm, 1.8mm, 1.9mm, or 2mm, but is not limited to these.

[0046] In one embodiment, the heating element 11 is provided on the left and right sides of the seat body 1, respectively;

[0047] The bottom surface of the seat body 1 in the area corresponding to the heating part 11 is recessed upward to form a heating groove 12, that is, the upper wall of the heating groove 12 is the bottom surface of the heating part 11, and the electric heating film 41 is installed in the heating groove 12.

[0048] Preferably, the heating film 41 is adhered to the bottom surface of the heating part 11 by means of adhesive, which can achieve close contact, reduce energy loss, and improve the heat transfer effect.

[0049] In one embodiment, the support base 2 includes a support panel 21 and a support portion 22, the support portion 22 being mounted on the bottom of the support panel 21, and the bottom of the support portion 22 being connected to the bottom cover 3;

[0050] The top of the support panel 21 extends into the heating groove 12, and the top surface of the support panel 21 abuts against the bottom surface of the heating device 4. The support base 2 of this embodiment can stably support the heating part 11 and improve the overall strength and rigidity of the toilet seat.

[0051] In one embodiment, the support portion 22 is composed of a plurality of reinforcing ribs. By rationally designing the layout and shape of the reinforcing ribs, the amount of material used can be reduced while ensuring the strength and rigidity of the toilet seat. Because the reinforcing ribs can significantly improve the strength and rigidity of the toilet seat without increasing the overall thickness of the toilet seat, lightweight design can be achieved, production costs can be reduced, and it is also beneficial to resource conservation and environmental protection.

[0052] In one embodiment, the seat body 1 has a snap-fit ​​portion 13 on the outer periphery of the heating groove 12, and a limiting groove 211 on the outer periphery of the supporting panel 21. The snap-fit ​​portion 13 and the limiting groove 211 are snapped together. Through the cooperation of the snap-fit ​​portion 13 and the limiting groove 211, displacement of the support seat 2 can be effectively prevented, thereby achieving a better support effect, avoiding deformation or damage to the heating part 11, further improving the overall strength and rigidity of the toilet seat, and extending the service life of the toilet seat.

[0053] In one embodiment, the electrothermal film 41 is a graphene electrothermal film or a metal electrothermal film.

[0054] In one embodiment, the heat insulation layer 42 is made of one of the following materials: nano-aerogel film, microporous polyimide film, and porous vacuum silicon film. These materials all have good heat insulation and high temperature resistance properties, can effectively block heat from being transferred to non-target areas (i.e., downward transfer), and have a certain degree of flexibility to adapt to curved seat rings.

[0055] Accordingly, this utility model also discloses a smart toilet, including the aforementioned fast-heating toilet seat, which can achieve a rapid heating effect and shorten the heating waiting time.

[0056] Preferably, the electrothermal film includes an adhesive layer (not shown in the figure), a first insulating layer (not shown in the figure), a heating layer (not shown in the figure), and a second insulating layer (not shown in the figure) arranged sequentially, with the heat insulation layer disposed at the bottom of the second insulating layer.

[0057] In one embodiment, the heating layer includes an adhesive material (not shown) and a heating element (not shown) embedded within the adhesive material. Utilizing the properties of the adhesive material, not only can the heating element be securely fixed, but a tight connection can also be effectively achieved between the heating layer, the first insulating layer, and the second insulating layer. Once the adhesive material has cured, the first insulating layer, the heating layer, and the second insulating layer together form a sealed and highly insulating sandwich structure, which significantly prevents external moisture from contacting the heating element and greatly enhances the overall insulation performance, thereby ensuring the safe and stable operation of the heating device.

[0058] Preferably, the adhesive material is selected from materials with good thermal stability and insulating properties. In some embodiments, high-temperature resistant epoxy resin may be used as the adhesive material, but it is not limited thereto.

[0059] In one embodiment, the heating element is arranged in a serpentine pattern on the heating layer. The serpentine (S-shaped) arrangement ensures uniform heating of the heating device and avoids local overheating.

[0060] In one embodiment, the heating element includes a first heating wire (not shown in the figure) and a second heating wire (not shown in the figure), the starting end of the first heating wire and the starting end of the second heating wire are connected, and the connection point forms a first bonding area; the terminating end of the first heating wire and the terminating end of the second heating wire are connected, and the connection point forms a second bonding area.

[0061] The first and second heating wires are arranged in a serpentine pattern in the front and rear areas of the heating layer, respectively. The first and second heating wires are arranged in a serpentine pattern at different locations within the heating layer, covering the entire heating layer. This enables large-area uniform heating, ensuring heat is evenly distributed across the area covered by the heating layer, preventing localized overheating or underheating, improving the uniformity and stability of heating, and enhancing the overall performance and reliability of the heating device. The serpentine arrangement allows for increased heating wire length within a limited space, thereby increasing heating power and heating speed without significantly increasing volume. It also effectively utilizes space, making the heating element's structure more compact. Simultaneously, this arrangement increases the contact area between the heating element and the inner wall of the seat ring, facilitating rapid heat dissipation and improving heat dissipation efficiency, thus allowing the upper surface of the seat ring to quickly reach the target temperature.

[0062] The technical principles of this utility model have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can readily conceive of other specific embodiments of this utility model without any inventive effort, and these embodiments will all fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
