The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0041] This embodiment provides a toilet seat assembly and a smart toilet. The smart toilet includes a toilet body (not shown) and the toilet seat assembly provided in this embodiment. The toilet body has a toilet bowl, and the toilet seat assembly is rotatably connected to the toilet body to close or open the top opening of the toilet bowl.

[0042] For ease of description, the side of a smart toilet that faces the user is defined as the front side, and the side that is away from the user is defined as the back side.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the toilet seat assembly provided in this embodiment includes a seat ring body 1, a control component 2, and a cover plate 3. The front end of the seat ring body 1, facing the user, has an installation groove 111. The control component 2 is detachably disposed within the installation groove 111 and is used to control the function switching of the smart toilet. The cover plate 3 is connected to the rear end of the seat ring body 1 and can rotate to cover the seat ring body 1. A display window 31 is provided directly opposite the control component 2 on the cover plate 3, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the display window 31 is not less than the area of ​​the operating surface of the control component 2.

[0044] In other words, by placing the control element 2 on the front end of the seat body 1 facing the user, the user can switch functions while seated without turning around, improving the user experience. Simultaneously, the detachable design of the control element 2 from the mounting slot 111 allows it to be held as a remote control detached from the seat body 1, making it easier for the user to see and operate the functions. Furthermore, the display window 31 allows the user to view the content displayed on the control element 2 even without opening the lid, greatly improving ease of operation and a better user experience. The cross-sectional area of ​​the display window 31 is greater than or equal to the area of ​​the operating surface of the control element 2, ensuring that all operable functions of the control element 2 are fully displayed.

[0045] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 The display window 31 is a through hole penetrating the cover plate 3, and a lens 32 is disposed inside the display window 31. The lens 32 is made of transparent material. Through the transparent lens 32, the content displayed on the control component 2 can be seen without opening the cover; it also isolates the control component 2 from the external environment, preventing scratches or bumps to the operating surface of the control component 2. For example, the lens 32 can be made of glass or transparent plastic.

[0046] Furthermore, the display window 31 and the cover plate 3 are an integral structure. Specifically, the display window 31 and the cover plate 3 are injection-molded integral structures, which ensures the structural integrity of the cover plate 3.

[0047] Of course, in other embodiments, the lens 32 may not be provided. The display window 31 is a through hole that passes through the cover plate 3, and the display window 31 is directly opposite the control component 2. When the cover plate 3 is placed on the seat ring body 1, the display window 31 directly exposes the control component 2 to the user, so that the user can operate the control component 2 directly without flipping the cover, making it more convenient to use.

[0048] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the seat body 1 includes an upper seat cover 11 and a lower seat cover 12. The upper seat cover 11 and the lower seat cover 12 are fastened together. A mounting groove 111 is recessed on the side of the upper seat cover 11 facing the lower seat cover 12. Exemplarily, the upper seat cover 11 and the lower seat cover 12 can be detachably connected by snap-fit ​​or plug-in methods to facilitate the arrangement of circuitry within the seat body 1.

[0049] Continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The control unit 2 includes a touch controller 21 and a mounting housing 22. The mounting housing 22 can be installed in the mounting groove 111 and has an inner cavity in which the touch controller 21 is disposed. The mounting housing 22 can protect the touch controller 21 and prevent the touch controller 21 from directly contacting the seat body 1, thus avoiding problems such as water ingress or impact. For example, the touch controller 21 can be selected as a touch screen remote control, the structure and principle of which are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0050] Specifically, the mounting housing 22 includes an upper housing 221 and a lower housing 222. The upper housing 221 covers the lower housing 222, and the upper surface of the upper housing 221 has a clearance hole communicating with the inner cavity. The clearance hole is used to avoid the operating surface of the touch controller 21. It should be noted that the touch screen of the touch controller 21 is its operating surface. The shape of the clearance hole is adapted to the shape of the operating surface of the touch controller 21, so that the operating surface can be embedded in the clearance hole, realizing the integrated design of the touch controller 21 and the mounting housing 22.

[0051] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 3 When the control component 2 is placed in the mounting slot 111, the upper surface of the control component 2 does not protrude from the plane of the slot opening of the mounting slot 111. That is, the upper surface of the mounting housing 22 has the same arc curve as the upper surface of the seat body 1. On the one hand, it serves to store and hide the seat body 1, maintaining its simple and beautiful appearance; on the other hand, it does not affect the user's toilet use, and there is no obstruction caused by protruding foreign objects.

[0052] In other embodiments, after the control element 2 is placed in the mounting groove 111, the upper surface of the control element 2 may also protrude from the plane where the groove of the mounting groove 111 is located. This arrangement helps to reduce the depth of the mounting groove 111 on the seat cover 11, avoiding interference with the circuits and other structures arranged inside the seat body 1; on the other hand, it facilitates the user's picking up and placing of the control element 2, improving the convenience of picking up and placing.

[0053] Meanwhile, because the cover plate 3 itself has a curvature, when the cover plate 3 is placed on the seat ring body 1, a portion of the control member 2 protruding from the seat ring body 1 can extend into the cover plate 3. The cover plate 3 covers and protects the portion of the control member 2 protruding from the seat ring body 1, preventing damage such as bumps to the control member 2.

[0054] Optionally, a wireless charging structure is also provided between the seat body 1 and the control component 2. The wireless charging structure includes a charging coil 41, which can charge the control component 2, specifically the touch controller 21. The principle of using the charging coil 41 to perform coil induction charging of the touch controller 21 is prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0055] Reference Figure 3A receiving groove 112 is formed on the side of the seat ring upper cover 11 facing the seat ring lower cover 12, and the opening of the receiving groove 112 is opposite to the opening of the mounting groove 111. The charging coil 41 is installed at the bottom of the receiving groove 112, and the projection of the charging coil 41 on the plane of the bottom of the mounting groove 111 is located inside the bottom of the mounting groove 111. In this embodiment, the bottom of the mounting groove 111 coincides with the bottom of the receiving groove 112. The charging coil 41 is placed at the bottom of the receiving groove 112, which will not affect the inductive charging between the charging coil 41 and the touch controller 21. At the same time, placing the charging coil 41 and the touch controller 21 in the two mounting spaces of the receiving groove 112 and the mounting groove 111 respectively can effectively avoid electromagnetic interference between the two components.

[0056] Preferably, in this embodiment, the control element 2 is magnetically connected to the wall of the mounting slot 111. Magnetic connection offers good reliability and ease of disassembly, helping the user to remove and use the control element 2. Of course, in other embodiments, the control element 2 and the wall of the mounting slot 111 can also be connected by a plug-in or snap-fit ​​method; this is not a limitation.

[0057] Specifically, the bottom of the mounting slot 111 is provided with a first magnetic connection part 13, and the control component 2 is provided with a second magnetic connection part 23. When the control component 2 is placed in the mounting slot 111, the first magnetic connection part 13 and the second magnetic connection part 23 face each other. Since the polarities of the first magnetic connection part 13 and the second magnetic connection part 23 are opposite, the first magnetic connection part 13 and the second magnetic connection part 23 are magnetically connected under the action of "opposite magnetic poles attracting each other".

[0058] More specifically, multiple first magnetic connection portions 13 are provided, and these multiple first magnetic connection portions 13 are arranged in an array on the bottom of the mounting groove 111. Correspondingly, multiple second magnetic connection portions 23 are provided on the lower housing 222, and each of the multiple second magnetic connection portions 23 corresponds one-to-one with the multiple first magnetic connection portions 13. This arrangement can increase the magnetic attraction between the lower housing 222 and the bottom of the mounting groove 111, thereby helping to improve the connection reliability between the control member 2 and the mounting groove 111.

[0059] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
