[0002] With the rapid development of smart bathroom technology, smart toilets with integrated sensors are gradually becoming an important part of modern homes. These sensors detect the approach of a person and automatically open the lid and seat, eliminating the need for manual operation and offering convenience. However, existing smart toilets with sensors typically place the sensors at the front or on the sides of the toilet body. This layout requires openings in the toilet body, which demands high-precision manufacturing processes, increasing production difficulty. Furthermore, openings in the toilet body also affect the overall appearance. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model addresses the technical problems existing in the prior art by providing a toilet seat and toilet that can realize the sensing device to detect human body parts to assist in the control of toilet functions, while reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the toilet and making the toilet simpler and more beautiful.

The seat ring is provided with a mounting cavity extending along its circumference, and the sensing device is installed in the mounting cavity, with the sensing end of the sensing device facing the outside of the seat ring.

[0005] In a preferred embodiment, the seat ring includes a seat ring body and a lower cover. The seat ring body includes a top wall, an outer side wall disposed at the outer end of the top wall, and an inner side wall disposed at the inner end of the top wall. The lower cover is connected to the bottom of the seat ring body, and the two together form an installation cavity.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the seat ring is provided with a sensing window at the sensing end of the sensing device. When the upper cover is closed with the seat ring, the upper cover does not block the sensing window on the seat ring. The sensing window is located on the outer wall or lower cover of the seat ring body. A light-transmitting component is embedded in the sensing window.

[0033] Please see Figures 1-7 As shown, a toilet seat according to the present invention includes an upper cover 1 and a seat ring 2, and also includes a sensing device for sensing human body parts to assist in controlling the execution of toilet functions. The seat ring 2 is provided with a mounting cavity 23 extending circumferentially thereon, and the sensing device is installed in the mounting cavity 23, with the sensing end of the sensing device facing the outside of the seat ring 2.

[0034] The seat ring 2 includes a seat ring body 21 and a lower cover 22. The seat ring body 21 includes a top wall 211, an outer side wall 212 disposed at the outer end of the top wall 211, and an inner side wall 213 disposed at the inner end of the top wall 211. The lower cover 22 is connected to the bottom of the seat ring body 21, and the two together form an installation cavity 23.

[0035] In this embodiment, the sensing device is a laser sensing device, which includes a laser sensing circuit board 3, but is not limited thereto. A sensing window 24 is provided on the seat ring 2 corresponding to the sensing end of the sensing device (i.e., the sensing end of the laser circuit board 3). When the upper cover 1 is closed with the seat ring 2, the upper cover 1 does not obstruct the sensing window 24 on the seat ring 2. The sensing window 24 is located on the lower cover 22. A light-transmitting component 4 is embedded in the sensing window 24 to improve the sensing effect of the sensing device. In other embodiments, the sensing device can be a millimeter-wave radar, etc., and when the sensing device is a millimeter-wave radar, a sensing window may not be provided on the seat ring.

[0036] like Figure 6As shown, the sensing device is installed inside the front end of the seat ring 2, with the sensing end of the sensing device facing the front side of the seat ring 2, i.e., the sensing window 24 is located on the front side of the lower cover 22. The sensing end of the sensing device is tilted downwards to form a foot sensing area. There is an angle α between the sensing end of the sensing device and the vertical plane, with the angle α being 30°-60°. The position of the foot sensing area can be adjusted by adjusting the size of the angle α, and the specific size of the angle α can be set according to the user's needs.

[0037] The wiring harness 31 connected to the laser sensing circuit board 3 is arranged in the mounting cavity 23 of the seat ring 2, such as... Figure 7 As shown, this makes it easier to manage the wiring harness 31, making the toilet more aesthetically pleasing.

[0038] The present invention also includes a base 5, a seat ring 2 located on the front side of the base 5, and the rear end of the seat ring 2 is hinged to the front end of the base 5, and an upper cover 1 located on the top of the base 5, and the rear end of the upper cover 1 is hinged to the rear end of the base 5.

[0039] This utility model provides a toilet seat that avoids making holes in the toilet body by placing the sensing device in the mounting cavity 23 of the seat ring 2. This simplifies the manufacturing process and allows the sensing device to detect human body parts to assist in controlling the toilet's functions. It also reduces the difficulty of toilet production. Furthermore, only a small sensing window 24 needs to be set on the seat ring 2, which does not affect the overall appearance of the toilet and makes it more concise and beautiful.

[0040] Please see Figures 1-7 As shown, a toilet according to the present invention includes a toilet body 6 and the aforementioned toilet seat, which is disposed on the top of the toilet body 6.

[0041] This utility model also includes a control module, which is disposed on the toilet body 6. The output end of the sensing device is connected to the control module. The control module controls the opening of the toilet seat and / or whether the toilet body is flushed according to the signal emitted by the sensing device.

[0042] In this embodiment, when the user's foot enters the foot sensing area, the reflected signal is transmitted to the sensing device. The control module controls whether the toilet seat is opened or closed according to the signal emitted by the sensing device, that is, it performs the opening and closing actions.

[0043] This utility model relates to a toilet. For details regarding the structure and working principle of the toilet seat, please refer to the preceding description; it will not be repeated here.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] Please see Figure 8As shown, the toilet seat of this utility model differs from Embodiment 1 in that the sensing end of the sensing device is inclined upward to form an arm sensing area. The sensing window 24 is located on the outer wall 212 of the seat body 21, and at the top of the outer wall 212. The sensing end of the sensing device has an angle β with the vertical plane, which is 45°-80°. The position of the arm sensing area can be adjusted by adjusting the size of the angle β, and the specific size of the angle β can be set according to user needs.

[0046] In this embodiment, when the user's arm enters the arm sensing area, the reflected signal is transmitted to the sensing device. The control module controls whether the toilet seat is opened or closed according to the signal emitted by the sensing device, that is, it performs the opening and closing actions.

[0047] Example 3

[0048] Please see Figure 9 As shown, the toilet seat of this utility model differs from that of Embodiment 1 in that the sensing end of the sensing device is horizontally forward-facing to form a buttock sensing area. The sensing window 24 is located on the outer wall 212 of the seat body 21.

[0049] In this embodiment, when the user's buttocks enter the buttocks sensing area, the reflected signal is transmitted to the sensing device. The control module controls whether the toilet seat is opened or closed according to the signal emitted by the sensing device, that is, it performs the opening and closing actions.

The sensing end of the sensing device is tilted upwards to form an arm sensing area, or tilted downwards to form a foot sensing area. When the user's foot enters the foot sensing area or their arm enters the arm sensing area, a reflected signal is transmitted to the sensing device. The control module then controls whether the toilet seat opens or closes based on the signal emitted by the sensing device, i.e., performs the opening / closing action. Similarly, when the sensing end of the sensing device is tilted downwards, the angle between it and the vertical plane is 30°-60°. When the sensing end of the sensing device is tilted upwards, the angle between it and the vertical plane is 45°-80°.

[0052] In other embodiments, the sensing device may also be installed inside the right end of the seat ring, with the sensing end of the sensing device facing the right side of the seat ring.
