[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smart toilet technology, and in particular to a toilet and its control device. Background Technology

[0002] Most smart toilets on the market today come with a knob, allowing users to select functions. However, these knobs typically support only two or three fixed functions; for example, rotating the knob activates the bidet function, while pressing it activates the flush function. This limits the diverse needs of users. When users require adjustments beyond the limited functions supported by the knob, they must use other control devices, such as a remote control. This cumbersome process necessitates frequent switching between the knob and other control devices, reducing the toilet's efficiency.

[0003] The above content is only used to help understand the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and does not represent an admission that the above content is prior art. Utility Model Content

[0027] One or more technical solutions proposed in this utility model embodiment have at least the following technical effects: This utility model provides a toilet control device, which includes a control, a knob, and a prompt module. The knob includes a pulse generator and a rotation unit. The control module is connected to the prompt module and the pulse generator. The pulse generator is connected to the rotation unit.

[0028] Because the pulse generator is connected to the rotating unit, and the pulse generator itself generates a direction signal corresponding to the pulse signal when rotating, when the rotating unit receives a rotation operation, it will drive the pulse generator to rotate, thereby generating both direction and pulse signals. Furthermore, because the prompt module is connected to the control module, the prompt module can output a prompt indicating the toilet function corresponding to the number of pulses generated by the direction and pulse signals. This allows the user to understand the toilet function currently selected by the knob, and to confirm the desired toilet function. This can trigger a pressing operation on the rotating unit. Since the rotating unit is connected to the pulse generator, when the rotating unit receives a pressing operation, the pulse generator also receives a pressing operation, thereby generating an execution signal. After receiving the execution signal, the control module can activate the toilet function indicated by the prompt module when the execution signal was generated, thus realizing the selection of the toilet function via the knob. Therefore, this invention allows the selection of the toilet function by rotating the pulse generator in the knob. Since there are multiple rotation operations, the pulse generator can also generate multiple types of direction and pulse signals.

[0029] Furthermore, by incorporating a pulse generator into the knob, this invention allows the knob to support the selection of multiple toilet functions, making the selection of toilet functions unrestricted. This facilitates the integration of multiple toilet functions into the knob, enabling adjustment of various toilet functions through the knob without the need for additional adjustment equipment, thereby improving the efficiency of toilet use.

[0045] The objectives, functional features, and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0046] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0047] To better understand the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, a detailed description will be provided below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0048] Currently, the knobs on smart toilets are generally used to activate functions such as "posterior wash," "feminine wash," and "flush." ​​For example, turning the knob clockwise activates the "posterior wash," turning it counterclockwise activates the "feminine wash," and pressing the knob activates the "flush" or "stop" function. While simple to operate, the knobs support limited functions. When users need to use other functions of the smart toilet, they need to use the remote control, increasing the complexity of function adjustment and leading to inefficient toilet function control.

[0049] Based on this, this utility model embodiment provides a toilet control device, referring to... Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a module in the first embodiment of the toilet control device of this utility model. The toilet control device includes:

[0050] A knob 200 includes a pulse generator 210 and a rotation unit 220. The pulse generator 210 is connected to the rotation unit 220 and the control module 100 in the control device. The pulse generator 210 is used to generate direction signals and pulse signals according to the rotation operation received by the rotation unit 210, and is also used to generate an execution signal when the rotation unit 210 receives a pressing operation.

[0051] A prompt module 300 is connected to the control module 100 and is used to output a prompt for the toilet function corresponding to the number of pulses generated by the direction signal and the pulse signal.

[0052] Control module 100 is used to activate the toilet function of prompting module 300 when the execution signal is generated, upon receiving an execution signal.

[0053] It should be noted that the toilet includes a water tank, a toilet body, a toilet seat, and a control mounting part. The control mounting part is located on the top of the toilet water tank, the control module 100 is located inside the control mounting part, and the knob 200 is located on the side of the toilet. Specifically, there is a connecting part between the toilet seat and the control mounting part, and the knob 200 can be located on the side of the connecting part.

[0054] The knob 200 includes a pulse generator 210 and a rotating unit 220 connected to each other. When the rotating unit 220 rotates, it drives the pulse generator 210 to rotate. The pulse generator 210 generates pulse signals and direction signals when it rotates. The rotation angle of the rotating unit 220 is the same as the rotation angle of the pulse generator 210. The pulse generator 210 generates one pulse signal and one direction signal for every preset angle it rotates. The number of pulses is the same as the number of pulse signals. This preset angle can be determined based on the encoder inside the pulse generator 210. Different encoders may require different angles for the pulse generator 210 to generate one pulse signal. The encoder disk inside the pulse generator 210 has equally spaced optical or magnetic gratings engraved on it. The angle required for the pulse generator 210 to generate one pulse signal can be determined based on the number of optical or magnetic gratings. For example, if the disk has 360 optical gratings, then the pulse generator 210 can generate one pulse signal for every 1° rotation.

[0055] The encoder inside the pulse generator 210 may also include two phases, such as phase A and phase B. When phase A leads phase B by 90°, it means that the pulse generator 210 can rotate clockwise. When phase B leads phase A by 90°, it means that the pulse generator 210 can rotate counterclockwise. Thus, the pulse generator 210 can generate the corresponding direction signal.

[0056] When the rotating unit 220 receives a pressing operation, the pulse generator 210 also receives a pressing operation. Upon receiving the pressing operation, the pulse generator 210 generates an execution signal, which is essentially a switch signal. The pulse generator 210 also includes a press switch. When the pulse generator 210 receives a pressing operation, the press switch inside the pulse generator 210 closes, and the signal indicating that the press switch is closed is transmitted to the control module 100. The execution signal informs the control module 100 that the corresponding toilet function can be executed.

[0057] The prompt module 300 can indicate the currently selected toilet function by the knob 200. For example, the prompt module 300 can display the toilet function or provide voice prompts for the toilet function. The prompt module 300 can be installed on the toilet.

[0058] The control module 100 can activate the toilet function currently prompted by the prompt module 300 upon receiving an execution signal. Generally, both pressing and rotating operations can be performed manually. The user receives prompts from the prompt module 300 and determines whether they need to execute the toilet function currently prompted by the prompt module 300 based on their own needs. When they decide they need to use the toilet function currently prompted by the prompt module 300, they can press the knob 200. Therefore, when the pulse generator 210 generates an execution signal, the toilet function currently prompted by the prompt module 300 is the function the user wishes to execute. The control module can be a chip.

[0059] Since the pulse generator 210 is connected to the rotating unit 220, and the pulse generator 210 itself generates a direction signal corresponding to the pulse signal when rotating, when the rotating unit 220 receives a rotation operation, it will drive the pulse generator 210 to rotate, thereby generating both direction and pulse signals. Furthermore, since the prompt module 300 is connected to the control module 100, the prompt module 300 can output a prompt indicating the toilet function corresponding to the number of pulses generated by the direction and pulse signals. This allows the user to understand the toilet function currently selected by the knob 200, and to easily confirm the desired toilet function. This triggers a pressing operation on the rotating unit 220. Because the rotating unit 220 is connected to the pulse generator 210, when the rotating unit 220 receives a pressing operation, the pulse generator 210 also receives a pressing operation, thereby generating an execution signal. After receiving the execution signal, the control module 100 can activate the toilet function prompted by the prompt module 300 when the execution signal is generated, thus enabling the selection and execution of the toilet function via the knob 200. Therefore, in this embodiment, the toilet function can be selected by rotating the pulse generator 210 in the knob 200. Since there are multiple rotation operations, the pulse generator 210 can also generate multiple directional pulse signals.

[0060] Furthermore, by setting a pulse generator 210 in the knob 200, the knob 200 can support the selection of multiple toilet functions, and the selected toilet functions are not limited. This makes it easy to integrate multiple toilet functions into the knob 200, and the various functions of the toilet can be adjusted through the knob 200 without the need for additional adjustment equipment, thereby improving the efficiency of toilet use.

[0061] In one feasible embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 The diagram shows an exploded view of the rotary handwheel 221 and a schematic diagram of the internal snap-fit ​​connector of the rotary handwheel 221. Figure 3 The diagram shows the structure of the pulse generator 210;

[0062] The rotating unit 220 also includes a knob handwheel 221, and the pulse generator 210 also includes a handwheel connecting part. The outer surface of the handwheel connecting part is provided with a groove, and the knob handwheel 221 is provided with a snap-fit ​​connector inside, and a snap-fit ​​connector is provided on the snap-fit ​​connector.

[0063] The groove of the handwheel connection portion in the pulse generator 210 engages with the snap-fit ​​in the knob handwheel 221.

[0064] When the rotary handwheel 221 in the rotary unit 220 receives a rotation operation, the rotary handwheel 221 drives the pulse generator 210 to rotate.

[0065] It should be noted that the pulse generator 210 is engaged with the rotary handwheel 221 via a handwheel connecting part. Specifically, the groove on the outer surface of the handwheel connecting part engages with the snap-fit ​​connector. The snap-fit ​​connector and the rotary handwheel 221 are integral. The snap-fit ​​connector can have multiple snaps, and the outer surface of the handwheel connecting part can have multiple grooves, the number of which is the same as the number of snaps, and the grooves and snaps can correspond one-to-one. (Refer to...) Figure 2 , Figure 2 S1 refers to the disassembled structure of the rotary handwheel 221. The rotary handwheel 221 has a snap-fit ​​connector SL inside, which is embedded in the rotary handwheel 221.

[0066] The grooves can be staggered on the outer surface of the handwheel connection; the contact surface of the buckle that needs to contact the groove can be provided with multiple protrusions, all of which are parallel, thereby increasing the friction between the pulse generator 210 and the rotary handwheel 221 and increasing the connection between the pulse generator 210 and the rotary handwheel 221.

[0067] The rotation operation received by the knob 200 unit can be generated by rotating the knob handwheel 221. When the knob handwheel 221 receives the rotation operation, it will drive the pulse generator 210 to rotate. The rotation angle of the knob handwheel 221 is the same as the rotation angle of the pulse generator 210. The knob handwheel 221 can be cylindrical or similar in shape.

[0068] In this embodiment, a rotary handwheel 221 connected to the pulse generator 210 is provided, so that the user can rotate the pulse generator 210 by rotating the rotary handwheel 221, thereby improving the user's rotation comfort.

[0069] In one feasible embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 4 A structural schematic diagram of the knob 200 button is shown. The rotating unit 220 also includes the knob 200 button. The pulse generator 210 also includes a circuit board. The preset switch area of ​​the circuit board is provided with a push switch. The knob handwheel 221 is provided with a button mounting hole AZ inside.

[0070] The button of the knob 200 passes through the button mounting hole AZ of the knob handwheel 221 and abuts against the push switch of the circuit board;

[0071] When the knob 200 button in the rotating unit 220 receives a pressing operation, the pressing switch closes and the pulse generator 210 generates an execution signal.

[0072] It should be noted that the knob 200 button may include a bottom A1 and a lever A2, with the lever A2 located at the center of the bottom A1. The lever A2 and the bottom A1 may be integrated. The circuit board D corresponds to the pulse generator 210, and the circuit board D can be used to implement the functions required by the pulse generator 210.

[0073] The rotary handwheel 221 has a button mounting hole AZ inside. The lever of the button on the rotary 200 can pass through the button mounting hole AZ, but the bottom of the button on the rotary 200 cannot pass through the button mounting hole AZ. The button mounting hole AZ can be set at a preset center position of the snap-fit ​​connector inside the rotary handwheel 221, for example, referring to... Figure 5 , Figure 5 The image shows the snap-fit ​​connector from a second-person perspective, which reveals the button mounting holes AZ. Figure 5 The "AZ" in the diagram refers to the button mounting hole AZ. The lever of the knob 200 button can pass through the button mounting hole AZ and abut against the push switch on the circuit board.

[0074] When knob 200 receives a press operation, the push-button switch closes; when knob 200 does not receive a press operation, the push-button switch is in the open state. When the push-button switch closes, pulse generator 210 generates an execution signal, indicating that the toilet needs to perform the currently selected toilet function. Figure 4 or Figure 3 The push-button switch on the circuit board is not shown. The push-button switch can be located at the center of the circuit board D. The knob 200 button can abut against the center of the circuit board D to abut against the push-button switch on the circuit board.

[0075] In this embodiment, the knob 200 button is brought into contact with the push switch of the pulse generator 210, so that when the knob 200 button receives a press operation, the push switch in the pulse generator 210 can be closed, and the pulse generator 210 can generate an execution signal, thereby activating the toilet function currently displayed by the prompt module 300.

[0076] In one feasible embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 The knob 200 also includes a connecting base 224, and the pulse generator 210 also includes a fixed connecting part. The fixed connecting part of the pulse generator 210, the circuit board, and the rotating handwheel connecting part are connected in sequence.

[0077] The connecting seat 224 is provided with a connecting hole LK at one end near the pulse generator 210, and the fixed connecting part is provided with a connecting protrusion LT at one end near the connecting seat 224;

[0078] The connecting protrusion LT of the fixed connection part is inserted into the connecting hole LK of the connecting seat 224.

[0079] It should be noted that the connecting seat 224 can be located on the side of the toilet, for example, on the side of the connecting part M4. Specifically, a knob 200 mounting part is provided on the side of the connecting part M4, and the connecting seat 224 can be located inside the knob 200 mounting part. The connecting seat 224 is located at the end of the knob 200 mounting part closer to the connecting part M4, and the knob housing 223 is located at the end of the knob 200 mounting part away from the connecting part M4.

[0080] The pulse generator 210 includes a fixed connecting part L1, a circuit board D, and a handwheel connecting part L2 connected in sequence. The connecting seat 224 has a connecting hole LK at one end near the pulse generator 210, and a connecting protrusion LT at the other end of the fixed connecting part near the connecting seat 224. The connecting protrusion LT can be inserted into the connecting hole LK, allowing the connecting seat 224 to connect with the pulse generator 210. The fixed connecting part can have multiple connecting protrusions LT, and the pulse generator can have multiple connecting holes LK. The number of connecting protrusions LT is the same as the number of connecting holes LK, and the connecting protrusions LT and connecting holes LK can correspond one-to-one.

[0081] In this embodiment, a connecting seat 224 is provided in the knob 200, which makes it easy to fix the knob 200 to the side of the toilet through the connecting seat 224.

[0082] In one feasible embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The rotating unit 220 also includes a knob housing 223, which is fitted onto the pulse generator 210.

[0083] In one possible embodiment, the knob 200 generates audible and haptic feedback when it receives a rotational operation.

[0084] It should be noted that the fixed connecting part L1 connects to the connecting seat 224, the handwheel connecting part L2 engages with the knob housing 223, the knob 200 button is located inside the knob handwheel 221, and the knob housing 223 is fitted onto the pulse generator 210. This protects the pulse generator 210 and also makes the overall appearance of the knob 200 more aesthetically pleasing. For example, refer to... Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is an exploded view of knob 200. Figure 8 The overall structure of the knob 200 after integrating all the internal components is shown.

[0085] When knob 200 is rotated by a preset angle, it generates both vibration and sound feedback. This feedback notifies the user that the knob has rotated to the preset angle, indicating that the user is currently selecting a toilet function. Once the user is familiar with the operation, they can quickly switch to the desired function based on the vibration or sound feedback, thus improving the user experience.

[0086] In one feasible embodiment, please refer to Figure 9 The prompt module 300 includes a projection lamp 310, and the control module 100 is connected to the projection lamp 310. The projection lamp 310 is set in a preset area outside the toilet, and the projection lamp 310 is used to project the toilet function corresponding to the number of pulses and the direction signal.

[0087] It should be noted that the prompt module 300 may include a projection lamp 310, and the control module 100 is connected to the projection lamp 310. The preset area outside the toilet is the area away from the water tank. For example, the projection lamp 310 may be set at the bottom of the toilet in the area away from the water tank.

[0088] For example, refer to Figure 10 , Figure 10 The "T" in the diagram refers to the area projected by the projector lamp 310. For example, "T" shows that the projector lamp 310 is projecting the toilet's flushing function. Figure 10 The knob 200 installed on the side of the toilet refers to the knob 200. The projector lamp 310 can project toilet functions corresponding to both the number and direction of pulse signals. Each time the pulse generator 210 generates a pulse signal, the projector lamp 310 updates the projected toilet function. This is because, even with the same direction, different numbers of pulse signals may correspond to different toilet functions. Therefore, the projector lamp 310 updates the projected toilet function each time a pulse signal is generated. The switching method for the projected content of the projector lamp 310 can be either page-turning or wheel-turning; this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this. Furthermore, the projected content of the projector lamp 310 can primarily display the current toilet function, and can also differentiate (e.g., display the previous and next toilet functions in smaller sizes). For example, the font of the current toilet function can be larger than that of the previous and next toilet functions.

[0089] The toilet offers multiple functions including flushing, bidet, feminine wash, drying, stop, seat temperature adjustment, fan temperature adjustment, water temperature adjustment, water pressure adjustment, and foam shield. Each rotation of the knob 200 generates a pulse signal from the pulse generator 210. For example, initially projecting "flush," each rotation of the knob 200 switches the projection to "bidet." Continuing to rotate the knob switches the projection to "feminine wash," and so on, cycling through drying, stop, seat temperature adjustment, fan temperature adjustment, water temperature adjustment, water pressure adjustment, foam shield, flushing, bidet, and feminine wash. It's worth noting that the knob 200's adjustable functions are not limited to these; more functions can be added. By rotating the knob, the user can cycle through the prompts displayed by the notification module 300 across the various toilet functions. This makes it easier for users to select the corresponding toilet function. After selecting the corresponding function using the knob 200, pressing the knob 200 will activate the toilet function currently being projected by the projection lamp 310.

[0090] For example, if rotating the button clockwise, the prompt module 300 will sequentially display the toilet functions as A, B, C, D, E, F, G. Conversely, rotating the button counter-clockwise will display the toilet functions as G, F, E, C, B, A. In other words, the prompt order for clockwise and counter-clockwise directions is reversed. If the user rotates the button continuously in one direction, such as clockwise, the prompt module 300 will cycle through the prompts from A to G; similarly, the projector lamp 310 will display the prompts in a loop.

[0091] In one feasible embodiment, please refer to Figure 11 The prompting module 300 includes a voice unit 320, and the control module 100 is connected to the voice unit 320. The voice unit 320 is used to output voice prompts for the toilet function that correspond to the number of pulses and the direction signal.

[0092] It should be noted that the voice unit 320 can output voice prompts for toilet functions. The voice unit 320 can be a speaker, and it can play the toilet function currently selected by the user. For example, if rotating the button clockwise sequentially displays the toilet functions A, B, C, D, E, F, and G, then when the user rotates the button clockwise, the voice module can play the toilet functions A, B, C, D, E, F, and G in sequence. The voice unit 320 can be located on the outside of the toilet.

[0093] In this embodiment, the prompting module 300 may include a projection lamp 310 and / or a voice unit 320, which can prompt the user in various ways to the toilet function currently rotated to by the knob 200, thereby making it easier for the user to confirm whether to execute the toilet function, improving the diversity of prompts and making it easier to meet different user needs.
