Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smart toilet technology, and in particular to a disassembly and installation structure for a control panel. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of smart home technology, smart toilets have gradually become a mainstream product in modern bathroom spaces due to their comfortable and convenient functions. Currently, there are two main installation methods for smart toilet control panels. One method involves directly mounting the control panel as part of the toilet's internal mechanism, with the touch panel located on the surface of the mechanism. This not only requires modifications to the internal structure of the mechanism to accommodate the control panel, significantly increasing the complexity of the manufacturing process, but also necessitates significant body adjustments to reach the touch panel while seated, making operation extremely inconvenient. The second method uses a separate remote-controlled control panel. While this improves the limitations of the operating position to some extent, in actual use, if there is a lack of suitable space around the smart toilet, such as a table or vanity, storing and retrieving the control panel becomes extremely difficult, often resulting in the control panel being out of reach of the toilet, also causing inconvenience. Therefore, a new control panel disassembly and installation structure is urgently needed to optimize the user experience of smart toilets. Utility Model Content

[0053] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment provides a disassembly and installation structure for a control panel, including a control panel 1 and a toilet core box 2. The control panel 1 is installed on one side of the toilet core box 2, such as on the left or right side of the toilet core box 2.
[0054] The control panel 1 includes a control mechanism 11 and a connecting mechanism 12 connected to the control mechanism 11, and the connecting mechanism 12 is located on one side of the control mechanism 11;
[0055] The side wall of the toilet core box 2 is provided with a mounting hole 21 that matches the connecting mechanism 12. The connecting mechanism 12 passes through the mounting hole 21 and connects to the toilet core box 2.
[0056] In this embodiment, the control panel 1 is installed as an independent component on one side of the toilet core box 2, which can be selected as the left or right side. When using the toilet, the user only needs to slightly tilt their head or body to easily operate the control panel 1 and quickly trigger various functions of the smart toilet. The operation is convenient and smooth, greatly improving the user experience. In this embodiment, the control panel 1 is precisely connected to the toilet core box 2 by a connecting mechanism 12 passing through the pre-set mounting holes 21 on the side wall. This connection method cleverly avoids the drawbacks of traditional installation methods, eliminating the need for major modifications to the inside of the toilet core box and reducing the complexity of the toilet core box manufacturing process. At the same time, compared with a separately set remote control control panel, this embodiment detachably installs the control panel 1 on one side of the toilet core box 2, making the control panel 1 and the toilet core box 2 form a relatively fixed whole, making it more convenient for users to use. There is no problem of difficulty in storing and retrieving the control panel 1, optimizing the user experience of the smart toilet. In addition, this installation method also facilitates the separate disassembly and installation of the control panel 1, making it easier for later maintenance and repair.
[0057] In one embodiment, the disassembly and installation structure of the control panel further includes a first fastener 3 and a second fastener 4; in one embodiment, the first fastener 3 and the second fastener 4 may be screws or bolts.
[0058] The connecting mechanism 12 includes a first connecting part 121 and a second connecting part 122. The first connecting part 121 is connected to the control mechanism 11, which facilitates the electrical connection between the control circuit and the control panel 1 inside the toilet core box 2. The first connecting part 121 is located above the second connecting part 122 and protrudes from the second connecting part 122. The size and shape of the first connecting part 121 are respectively matched with the size and shape of the mounting hole 21.
[0059] The first connecting part 121 is installed in the mounting hole 21, and the first connecting part 121 is detachably connected to the inner wall of the toilet core box 2 via the first fastener 3. The second connecting part 122 is detachably connected to the side wall of the toilet core box 2 via the second fastener 4. By using the first fastener 3 to connect the first connecting part 121 to the inner wall of the toilet core box 2, and using the second fastener 4 to connect the second connecting part 122 to the side wall of the toilet core box 2, a firm connection is achieved between the control panel 1 and the toilet core box 2, allowing the entire control panel 2 to be stably installed on one side of the toilet core box 2. During use, this effectively prevents the control panel 2 from shaking or becoming loose, ensuring a smooth operating experience and avoiding interference with wiring due to loose connections, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the smart toilet.
[0060] In one embodiment, the toilet core box 2 is provided with a first protrusion 22 on the outer periphery of the mounting hole 21, and the first protrusion 22 protrudes from the side wall of the toilet core box 2.
[0061] The first boss 22 includes a limiting part 221 and an abutting part 222 connected to the limiting part 221. The limiting part 221 is connected to the side wall of the toilet core box 2, and the inner diameter of the limiting part 221 is equal to the inner diameter of the mounting hole 21, so that the inner wall of the limiting part 221 coincides with the inner wall of the mounting hole 21. The inner diameter of the abutting part 222 is larger than the inner diameter of the limiting part 221, so that a sealing groove 223 is formed between the end of the limiting part 221 and the inner wall of the abutting part 222.
[0062] The disassembly and installation structure of the control panel also includes a seal (not shown in the figure), which is installed in the seal mounting groove 223. This further enhances the sealing effect at the connection between the control panel 1 and the toilet seat 2. It effectively prevents moisture from entering the interior of the toilet seat 2, preventing damage to the internal circuitry due to moisture erosion, extending the lifespan of the internal electronic components of the smart toilet, and improving the safety and stability of the smart toilet.
[0063] In one embodiment, a second boss 23 is provided below the first boss 22, which is connected to the side wall of the toilet core box 2. The second boss 23 has a limiting groove 231 inside. The second connecting part 122 has a connecting post 1221. The size of the connecting post 1221 matches the size of the limiting groove 231. The side of the connecting post 1221 closest to the toilet core box 2 is installed in the limiting groove 231. One end of the second fastener 4 is connected to the side wall of the toilet core box 2, and the other end of the second fastener 4 is connected to the connecting post 1221. Through the cooperation of the limiting hole 231 and the connecting post 1221, and the connection of the side wall of the toilet core box 2 and the connecting post 1221 through the second fastener, the stability of the connection between the connecting mechanism 12 and the toilet core box 2 is further enhanced, making the control panel 1 more secure and reliable after installation and reducing shaking during use.
[0064] The first connecting part 121 has a notch 1211 at the bottom of the side near the toilet core box 2; this facilitates the connection of the first fastener 3 to the first connecting part 121 and the inner wall of the toilet core box 2, thus improving installation efficiency.
[0065] In one embodiment, the connecting mechanism 12 is horizontally positioned, while the control mechanism 11 is inclined downwards along the horizontal plane. This allows water to slide off the inclined surface of the control mechanism 12, preventing water from accumulating on its surface and seeping into its interior, thus providing good waterproofing. Simultaneously, the inclined control mechanism 12 is more ergonomically designed, facilitating user operation and improving the convenience and comfort of operating the control panel when using the smart toilet.
[0066] In one embodiment, the angle between the control mechanism 11 and the horizontal plane is 3° to 30°. That is, the control mechanism 11 is tilted downwards along the horizontal plane at 3° to 30°, which further optimizes the user's operating experience while ensuring waterproofing. This angle range allows the user's arm to be in a comfortable posture when operating the control panel 1, without affecting the waterproofing effect due to an angle that is too small, or causing inconvenience due to an angle that is too large.
[0067] More preferably, the angle between the control mechanism 11 and the horizontal plane is 5° to 20°.
[0068] In one embodiment, the control mechanism 11 includes a base 111, a circuit board 112, a button base 113, and a touch panel 114;
[0069] The connecting mechanism 12 is installed on one side of the base 111, which is inclined downward along the horizontal plane; preferably, the base 111 and the connecting mechanism 12 are integrally formed to ensure the stability of the overall structure.
[0070] The button base 113 is installed on the top of the base 111, and a control mechanism cavity is formed between the button base 113 and the base 111. The control mechanism cavity is connected to the first connecting part 121. The circuit board 112 is installed in the control mechanism cavity, and the touch panel 114 is installed on the top of the button base 113.
[0071] In one embodiment, a water-blocking strip 1112 is provided around the top inner side of the base 111, and the top surface of the water-blocking strip 1112 protrudes from the top surface of the base 111.
[0072] The button base 113 is provided with a limiting edge 1132 on its outer periphery. The limiting edge 1132 covers the top surface of the base 111 and is located outside the water baffle 1112.
[0073] The water-blocking strip 1112 on the top of the base 111 cooperates with the limiting edge 1132 on the outer periphery of the button base 113 to form a waterproof barrier, which further enhances the waterproof performance of the control mechanism 11, effectively prevents water from entering the inner cavity of the control mechanism, protects the circuit board 112 and internal electronic components, and improves the reliability of the control panel.
[0074] In one embodiment, the bottom wall of the button base 113 is provided with a plurality of limiting blocks 1133, and a water-blocking strip installation space is formed between the limiting perimeter 1132 and the limiting blocks 1133.
[0075] The inner wall of the limiting perimeter 1132 is provided with a plurality of snap-fit blocks 11321, and the outer side of the water-blocking strip 1112 is provided with a plurality of snap-fit grooves 11121 that match the snap-fit blocks 11321. The shape and size of the snap-fit blocks 11321 match the snap-fit grooves 11121, so that the snap-fit blocks 11321 can be inserted into the snap-fit grooves 11121. The connection and fixation between the base 111 and the button seat 113 are realized through the interference fit or other fastening methods between the two.
[0076] The water-blocking strip 1112 is installed in the water-blocking strip installation space, and the snap-fit block 11321 is located in the snap-fit groove 11121.
[0077] In one embodiment, a water-retaining wall 1135 surrounds the bottom of the button base 113. The bottom surface of the water-retaining wall 1135 protrudes beyond the bottom surface of the limiting edge 1132. A circuit board mounting space 11351 is formed between the inner walls of the water-retaining wall 1135. The size of the circuit board mounting space 11351 matches the size of the circuit board 112, and the circuit board 112 is installed within the circuit board mounting space 11351. The water-retaining wall 1135 further blocks water, effectively protecting the circuit board 112, reducing the risk of short circuits or damage caused by water ingress, improving the waterproof reliability of the control panel 1, and extending its service life. Furthermore, because the size of the circuit board mounting space 11351 matches the size of the circuit board 112, the water-retaining wall acts as a limiting element during circuit board installation, ensuring that the circuit board 112 is accurately installed in the predetermined position, preventing misalignment during installation, and ensuring that the conductive contacts on the circuit board 112 correctly align with the buttons 1134 on the button base.
[0078] In one embodiment, the base 111 has a plurality of support plates 1111 inside for supporting the circuit board 112. The plurality of support plates 1111 are spaced apart inside the base 111. One end of the support plate 1111 is connected to the inner wall of the base 111, and the other end of the support plate 1111 abuts against the bottom surface of the circuit board 112.
[0079] The cooperation of the bottom wall of the button base 113, the water-retaining wall 1135, and the support plate 1111 restricts the installation position of the circuit board 112. Furthermore, the support plate 1111 inside the base 111 supports the circuit board 112, effectively preventing the circuit board 112 from moving downwards when a button on the button base 112 is pressed. This ensures the accuracy and stability of button operation, avoids button malfunction or incorrect operation due to circuit board movement, and improves the user experience.
[0080] In one embodiment, the control mechanism 11 further includes a first fixing member (not shown) and a second fixing member 117. The circuit board 112 is mounted below the button holder 113 via the second fixing member 117, and the button holder 113 is fixedly mounted to the top of the base 111 via the first fixing member. The first and second fixing members further secure the button holder 113 and the circuit board 112, making the connection between the components more stable and ensuring that the components of the control panel will not shift during use, thus ensuring the reliability and stability of the control panel operation.
[0081] In one embodiment, the first fastener and the second fastener 117 may be screws or bolts.
[0082] In one embodiment, the top of the button base 113 is provided with a touch panel mounting groove 1131 that is adapted to the touch panel 114, and the touch panel 114 is bonded to the touch panel mounting groove 1131. Bonding achieves a tight connection between the touch panel 114 and the top surface of the button base 113, preventing moisture from entering the interior of the control mechanism 11 from the connection point between the touch panel 114 and the button base 113.
[0083] Preferably, the touch panel 114 is an ABS panel, that is, the touch panel 114 is a panel made of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer, which gives the touch panel 114 better impact strength, good dimensional stability, low water absorption, corrosion resistance and excellent chemical and electrical insulation properties, which not only provides better protection but also extends the service life of the control panel.
[0084] In one embodiment, the circuit board 112 is provided with a plurality of conductive springs 1121, and each conductive spring 1121 is provided with a corresponding solder pad (not shown in the figure) below it.
[0085] The button base 113 includes a button base body (not shown in the figure) and a plurality of buttons 1134, wherein the plurality of buttons 1134 are movably mounted on the button base body;
[0086] The limiting perimeter 1132 is disposed on the outer periphery of the button base body, the water-blocking wall 1135 and a plurality of the limiting blocks 1133 are all installed on the bottom wall of the button base body, and the plurality of the limiting blocks 1133 are located outside the water-blocking wall 1135.
[0087] The touch panel 114 is provided with a plurality of touch parts 1141, and the positions of the conductive spring 1121, the button 1134, and the touch parts 1141 correspond one-to-one. This ensures that when the user presses the touch part 1141, the button force transmitted through the button 1134 accurately triggers the conductive spring 1121, achieving stable transmission of electrical signals, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the control panel operation, and enabling the smart toilet to correctly respond to various operation commands.
[0088] In one embodiment, the conductive spring 1121 is a metal dome switch. When the contact part 1141 is not pressed, there is no contact between the conductive spring 1121 and the pad. When a contact part 1141 is pressed, the button force is transmitted through the button 1134, causing the corresponding metal dome switch to deform, recessing to contact the circuit, forming a loop to trigger the corresponding function. When the button is released, the metal dome switch returns to its original shape. The metal dome switch provides a light and smooth touch, requires less pressing force, and has low noise during operation.
[0089] In one embodiment, the button 1134 includes a pressing part 11341 and a trigger part 11342. The pressing part 11341 is movably connected to the button base body. The pressing part 11341 is bonded to the touch part 1141. The trigger part 11342 is installed on the side of the pressing part 11341 near the circuit board 112, and the position of the trigger part 11342 corresponds to the position of the conductive spring 1121. Specifically, a movable hole for the button 1134 to move up and down can be provided in the main body of the button base. The diameter of the movable hole is larger than the diameter of the pressing part 11341. One side of the pressing part 11341 is connected to the main body of the button base through an elastic connecting part, and the pressing part 11341 is located in the movable hole, so that the pressing part 11341 is movably installed on the main body of the button base. When the user presses the touch part 1141, the pressing part 11341 can move downward, and when the touch part 1141 is released, the pressing part 11341 can return to its original position.
