[0024] The following description is exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the scope, application, or use of this disclosure. It should be understood that in all these figures, the same or similar reference numerals indicate the same or similar parts and features. The figures are merely schematic representations of the concept and principles of embodiments of this disclosure and do not necessarily show the specific dimensions and scale of the various embodiments of this disclosure.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-5 :

[0026] An embodiment of a smart toilet includes a base plate for function operation buttons, comprising a base plate 1 and a flipping mechanism 2. The base plate 1 includes a housing 11, a housing 2 12 fixed to the surface of the housing 11, and an operation panel 13 extending through the surface of the housing 2 12. The operation panel 13 is rotatably connected to the housing 2 12 via the flipping mechanism 2, and the flipping mechanism 2 is used to drive the operation panel 13 to flip.

[0027] See Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, a through groove 121 is provided on the outer surface of the housing 2 12, and the operation panel 13 passes through the through groove 121, and the upper surface of the operation panel 13 is flush with the housing 2 12; the purpose is that after the operation panel 13 is flipped, it is convenient to clean the surfaces of the housing 2 12 and the operation panel 13, and to avoid dirt and grime from accumulating.

[0028] It is worth mentioning that a sealing strip is embedded in the inner wall of the through groove 121 to improve the sealing between the control panel 13 and the housing 12.

[0029] Furthermore, the flipping mechanism 2 includes: a fixed plate 21, fixed to the bottom of the housing 12; a connecting plate 22, slidably connected to the flipping mechanism 2, and the end of the operation panel 13 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 22; a motor 23, fixed to the fixed plate 21, with a drive gear 24 fixed to the output end of the motor 23; a driven gear 25, rotatably connected to the fixed plate 21, with the drive gear 24 meshing with the driven gear 25; a transmission gear 26, coaxially connected and fixed to the driven gear 25; a cam 27, coaxially connected and fixed to the driven gear 25, the cam 27 being used to rotate to push the connecting plate 22; and a driven gear 28, fixed to the end of the operation panel 13, with the driven gear 28 intermittently meshing with the transmission gear 26.

[0030] For example, the motor 23 drives the drive gear 24 to rotate, the drive gear 24 drives the driven gear 25, the driven gear 25 drives the transmission gear 26 and the cam 27 to rotate simultaneously. When the cam 27 rotates, it pushes the connecting plate 22 to drive the driven gear 28 and the operation panel 13 to slide downward, so that the operation panel 13 is away from the through groove 121, so as to avoid the operation panel 13 being blocked by the through groove 121 when it rotates. At the same time, after the driven gear 28 meshes with the transmission gear 26, the transmission gear 26 drives the driven gear 28 to rotate, so that the operation panel 13 flips.

[0031] It should be noted that the power supply for motor 23 is provided by the power supply unit of the smart toilet, and the rotation stroke and control logic of motor 23 are set by those skilled in the art based on the above description, and are not specifically limited here.

[0032] For details, please refer to Figure 4 As shown, the end of the operation panel 13 is fixed with a first connecting shaft 131. The operation panel 13 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 22 through the first connecting shaft 131. The outer surface of the fixed plate 21 is provided with a first oblong hole 211, and the first connecting shaft 131 passes through the first oblong hole 211 and is slidably connected to the first oblong hole 211. The purpose is to not affect the up and down sliding of the operation panel 13.

[0033] For more details, please refer to Figure 4 As shown, a second connecting shaft 212 is fixed on the outer surface of the fixed plate 21. The cam 27, the transmission gear 26, and the driven gear 25 are sequentially sleeved and fixed on the second connecting shaft 212. A second oblong hole 224 is provided through the outer surface of the connecting plate 22, and the second connecting shaft 212 passes through the second oblong hole 224 and is slidably connected to the second oblong hole 224. The purpose is to not affect the up and down sliding of the connecting plate 22.

[0034] For further details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, connecting blocks 221 are slidably connected to both sides of the connecting plate 22, and the connecting blocks 221 are fixed to the fixed plate 21. A guide shaft 222 is fixed on the outer surface of the connecting block 221. The connecting plate 22 and the guide shaft 222 are slidably connected. A spring 223 is sleeved on the outer surface of the guide shaft 222, and the two ends of the spring 223 abut against the connecting plate 22 and the spring 223 respectively. The purpose is to ensure the sliding stability of the connecting plate 22.

[0035] It is worth mentioning that, see Figure 4 As shown, the spring 223 is used to provide the elastic force for the connection plate 22 to return to its original position. When the cam 27 drives the connection plate 22 to slide downward until the operation panel 13 flips, the recessed part of the cam 27 contacts the connection plate 22, and the connection plate 22 can be reset under the elastic force of the spring 223. At this time, the operation panel 13 continues to remain flush with the surface of the housing 12 after it is reversed.

[0036] The exemplary implementation of the solution proposed in this disclosure has been described in detail above with reference to preferred embodiments. However, those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and alterations can be made to the above specific embodiments without departing from the spirit of this disclosure, and various combinations can be made to the various technical features and structures proposed in this disclosure without exceeding the protection scope of this disclosure, which is determined by the appended claims.
