It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0040] It should be noted that in this utility model, the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", and "outer" are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element of this utility model must have a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Example

[0041] Cooperate Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this utility model discloses a battery box structure, which is installed in a smart toilet for assembling batteries.

[0042] Cooperate Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a battery box structure includes:

[0043] The outer casing 10 has a receiving groove 11;

[0044] Battery compartment 20 is movably disposed in the receiving slot 11;

[0045] A locking device is provided, through which the battery compartment 20 can be locked or unlocked to the outer casing 10;

[0046] When the battery compartment 20 is unlocked, the elastic element 40 drives the battery compartment 20 to pop out of the receiving slot 11;

[0047] A limiting structure is provided between the battery compartment 20 and the outer shell 10. The limiting structure prevents the battery compartment 20 from detaching from the outer shell 10 when it pops out of the receiving slot 11.

[0048] The locking device includes a driving component and a locking component that cooperate with the driving component. The battery compartment is unlocked from the outer shell under the drive of the driving component. The driving component is a button 30. The battery compartment 20 is locked to the outer shell 10 by the button 30. Pressing the button 30 can unlock the battery compartment 20 from the outer shell 10.

[0049] The outer casing 10 is fixedly mounted on the smart toilet. Its receiving slot 11 is used to accommodate the battery compartment 20. The receiving slot 11 has an open port. When the outer casing 10 is installed on the smart toilet, this port faces outwards, allowing the battery compartment 20 to pop out of the receiving slot 11. The battery compartment 20 is movably disposed in the receiving slot 11 and is locked to the outer casing 10 by a button 30. After locking, the battery compartment 20 cannot move. Specifically, the button 30 is located on the outer end of the battery compartment 20 and is adapted to the open port of the outer casing 10. When the battery compartment 20 is locked to the outer casing 10, the button 30 can just cover the open port of the outer casing 10, making the toilet's appearance simple. Pressing the button 30 can unlock the battery compartment 20 from the outer casing 10, after which the battery compartment 20 can move relative to the outer casing 10. The locking and unlocking structure of the button 30 adopts an existing design and will not be described in detail here.

[0050] When the battery compartment 20 is locked, the elastic element 40 is compressed; when the battery compartment 20 is unlocked, the battery compartment 20 moves outward of the outer shell 10 under the restoring force of the elastic element 40, that is, it pops out of the receiving slot 11 through the open port of the outer shell 10. After the battery compartment 20 pops out, it is convenient for the user to replace the battery in the battery compartment 20.

[0051] When the battery compartment 20 pops out, the limiting structure restricts its position, preventing it from moving outwards further once it reaches the preset position. This effectively prevents the battery compartment 20 from detaching from the outer shell 10 under the action of the elastic element 40, thus avoiding it from falling or being damaged, and improving the user experience.

[0052] The elastic element 40 is a spring, with one end abutting against the middle of the outer shell 10 and the other end abutting against the middle of the battery compartment 20. Positioning the spring at the corresponding middle position in the battery compartment 20 ensures a more even force distribution when the spring drives the battery compartment 20 to pop out, resulting in smoother movement.

[0053] The limiting structure is located in the middle of the outer shell 10 and the battery compartment 20. Because the limiting structure is located in the middle of the outer shell and the battery compartment 20, when the battery compartment 20 is unlocked and the battery compartment 20 pops out and stops under the elastic force of the spring, the force is more evenly distributed, reducing shaking.

[0054] The limiting structure includes a limiting groove 12 and a limiting boss 21. The outer shell 10 and the battery compartment 20 are provided with the limiting groove 12 on one side and the limiting boss 21 on the other side. The limiting boss 21 and the limiting groove 12 cooperate to limit the movement of the battery compartment 20 to a preset position.

[0055] The limiting boss 21 and the limiting groove 12 work together to limit the battery compartment 20, preventing it from moving outward. The limiting groove 12 and the limiting boss 21 are respectively located on the outer shell 10 and the battery compartment 20, and the two work together to achieve the limiting effect.

[0056] In this embodiment, the limiting groove 12 is provided on the outer shell 10, and the limiting boss 21 is provided on the battery compartment 20. Specifically, the outer casing 10 is provided with a guide groove 13, which is located in the middle of the inner wall of the outer casing 10 and extends from the inner side to the outer side of the outer casing 10. The outer end of the guide groove 13 is provided with a limiting groove 12 communicating with it. The battery compartment 20 is provided with a limiting post 22 that is movably engaged with the limiting groove 12. The limiting post 22 is located in the middle of the outer wall of the battery compartment 20. The inner end of the limiting post 22 extends movably into the guide groove 13 through the limiting groove 12. A limiting boss 21 is provided on the inner end of the limiting post 22. When the battery compartment 20 pops outward, the limiting post 22 moves outward along the limiting groove 12 until the limiting boss 21 on the inner end of the limiting post 22 is stuck in the inner side of the limiting groove 12, realizing the limiting engagement between the limiting boss 21 and the limiting groove 12. The battery compartment 20 is then limited and cannot move outward anymore. Preferably, the limiting protrusions 21 are provided on both sides of the inner end of the limiting post 22. When the limiting protrusions 21 cooperate with the limiting groove 12, the two sides are balanced, and the movement of the battery compartment 20 can be more stable and without shaking.

[0057] The bottom wall of the receiving groove 11 is provided with a protruding edge 14, which encloses and forms the guide groove 13. The bottom surface of the battery compartment 20 is provided with a relief groove 23 corresponding to the protruding edge 14, and the limiting post 22 is provided in the relief groove 23. The protruding edge 14 is located in the middle of the inner end of the receiving groove 11, and the corresponding relief groove 23 is located in the middle of the inner end of the battery compartment 20. The inner end of the relief groove 23 is an open port, and the limiting post 22 is located in the relief groove 23. When the battery compartment 20 is engaged with the outer shell 10, the protruding edge 14 is accommodated in the relief groove 23, and the limiting post 22 is movably engaged in the limiting groove 12, and the limiting boss 21 is located in the guide groove 13.

[0058] The elastic element 40 is disposed within the guide groove 13, with one end abutting against the inner wall of the guide groove 13 and the other end abutting against the limiting post 22. Since the elastic element 40 is disposed within the guide groove 13, there is no need for a separate structure for installing the elastic element 40, resulting in a simpler and more compact overall structure.

[0059] Cooperate Figures 7 to 8 As shown, this utility model also discloses a smart cover, including the battery box structure described above. The smart cover includes a base, and the base has a mounting cavity on its side. The battery compartment is fixedly installed in the mounting cavity. That is, the outer shell 10 is locked and fixed to the base of the smart cover. The outer shell 10 is provided with multiple fixing ears, which are locked and fixed to the base of the smart cover by screws. Of course, the fixing method between the outer shell and the base is not limited to screw locking; it can also be fixed by snap-fit ​​or snap-fit.

[0060] Cooperate Figures 7 to 8As shown, this utility model also discloses a smart toilet, including the aforementioned smart toilet seat. The smart toilet includes a toilet seat, and the base is fixedly installed on the toilet seat. The fixed connection method between the base and the toilet seat adopts an existing structure, which will not be described in detail here.
