Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a toilet seat heater and a toilet seat using the heater. Background Technology

[0002] As living standards improve, people's demands for material goods also change. Toilets are an essential item in daily life. To improve comfort, especially in cold winters when skin is irritated, the seat needs to be equipped with a heating function. Currently, the main way to heat the seat is to install heating wires or heating films under the seat. This is not only inconvenient to assemble, but also requires the seat to have a corresponding structure for wiring, making the structure of the seat more complicated. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model provides a toilet seat heater and a toilet seat using the heater. The heater has a simple structure, facilitates the assembly and production of toilet seats, and simplifies the toilet seat structure. The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows:

[0004] A toilet seat heater includes a conductive heating element, the shape of which corresponds to the shape of the toilet seat. The heating element is an open ring shape with electrodes connected to both sides of the notch. The heating element is made by mixing graphene with thermosetting powder / particles and then molding it through a compression molding process. The electrodes are fixed together with the heating element during the compression molding process to form a whole.

[0005] In a preferred embodiment, the graphene content in the heating element is 30%-60%.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment: the heating element has an arc-shaped cross-section and its upper surface protrudes upwards.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment: the electrode is tilted and extends backward and upward from the heating element.

[0008] The electrode extends from the side of the heating element.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment: In a preferred embodiment: The electrodes are threaded at both ends.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment: the electrode is built into the heating element, and one end face of the electrode is exposed and has a connector hole.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment: the insertion hole is a screw hole.

[0012] The toilet seat has an embedded heater. The heater includes a conductive heating element, the shape of which corresponds to the shape of the toilet seat. The heating element is an open ring with electrodes connected to both sides of the notch. The heating element is made by molding graphene and thermosetting powder / particles together. The electrodes are fixed together with the heating element during the molding process to form a whole. The electrodes extend from the toilet seat or have their end faces exposed.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment: the heater is integrally formed with the toilet seat during the toilet seat molding process.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this technical solution has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. When electricity is applied to the two electrodes on the heating element, the current flows through the element, causing its temperature to rise rapidly and thus heating the toilet seat. Therefore, the heating element effectively functions as a resistor, and because it contains graphene, it offers advantages such as rapid heating and higher thermal conductivity. With electrodes at both ends, the heating element eliminates the need for additional circuitry, resulting in a simple structure and easy manufacturing. It can be directly integrated into the toilet seat, further simplifying its design and preventing malfunctions caused by external humidity, thus enhancing safety.

[0016] 2. The electrode is fixed together with the heating element during the molding process to form an integral unit. The heating element has a fixed and stable shape. In this way, when molding the toilet seat, the heater can be placed into the cavity of the toilet seat. Thus, the toilet seat can be fixed together with the heater to form an integral unit during the molding process, resulting in high strength. Attached Figure Description

[0022] Figure 5 A three-dimensional diagram of a toilet seat is shown. Detailed Implementation

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 A toilet seat heater includes a conductive heating element 10. Because the heating element is conductive, it generates heat when energized, acting as a resistor. The heating element 10 is shaped to correspond to the toilet seat and is an open ring with a notch 12. Electrodes 20 are connected to both sides of the notch. The heating element 10 is made by molding a mixture of graphene and thermosetting powder / particles. The addition of graphene provides its conductive heating function. The electrodes 20 are integrally formed with the heating element during the molding process, making them inseparable. The position of the notch 12 on the heating element 10 is not fixed; it can be located in the middle of the rear end or at other positions on the side.

[0024] Preferably, the graphene content in the heating element 10 is 30%-60%.

[0025] Preferably, the heating element 10 has an arc-shaped cross-section and an upward-convex upper surface.

[0026] Preferably, the electrode 20 is inclined and extends obliquely upward toward the heating element 10.

[0027] Preferably, the electrode 20 has threads at both ends.

[0028] The electrode is designed to facilitate electrical connection between the heater and an external power source. Therefore, it is sufficient to simply fix the electrode to the heating element and provide an interface or connector for electrical connection to an external power source. For example... Figure 4 As shown, electrode 20a is built into heating element 10a. One end face of electrode 20a is exposed and has a plug hole 22. In this way, power can be quickly connected using plug hole 22. Preferably, plug hole 22 is a screw hole.

[0029] Since the shape of the heating element 10 corresponds to the toilet seat, it can be positioned inside the toilet seat during use to evenly heat the seat. If the electrode 20 extends rearward from the heating element 10, it also extends rearward from the center of the rear end of the toilet seat (e.g.,...). Figure 5 As shown), if one end of the electrode is exposed outside the heating element, it will also be exposed outside the toilet seat.

[0030] Those skilled in the art will understand that existing toilet seats can be molded from thermosetting materials. Therefore, the heater can be installed inside the toilet seat by integrally molding it with the toilet seat during the molding process. Of course, if the toilet seat is assembled using a top and bottom cover, the heater can also be clamped and fixed by the top and bottom covers.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, and therefore cannot be used to limit the scope of the present utility model. All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the present utility model patent and the contents of the specification should still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
