[0022] To further illustrate the various embodiments, the present invention provides accompanying drawings. These drawings are part of the disclosure of the present invention and are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments, and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these drawings, those skilled in the art should be able to understand other possible implementations and the advantages of the present invention. Components in the drawings are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.

[0023] See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model discloses a toilet seat assembly and a toilet with the toilet seat assembly. The toilet seat assembly includes a seat ring 1, an upper cover 2, a sterilization device 3, and a drying device 4. The sterilization device 3 is used to spray sterilizing water onto the seat ring 1 to sterilize the seat surface 11 of the seat ring 1. The drying device 4 is provided on the upper cover 2 and has an air outlet 41 facing the seat ring 1 to blow airflow onto the seat ring 1 to dry the seat ring 1.

[0024] This utility model, by setting a drying device 4 on the upper cover 2 and pointing the air outlet 41 toward the seat ring 1, can dry the seat ring 1 in time after the sterilization device 3 sprays sterilization water onto the seat ring 1, reducing the inconvenience caused by the seat ring 1 being damp.

[0025] The seat ring 1 includes a seating portion 10 for the user to sit on. The seating portion 10 has a semi-circular structure and the upper surface of the seating portion 10 is a bearing surface 11. The upper cover 2 is provided with a semi-circular extending flange portion 21. The flange portion 21 corresponds to the edge of the seating portion 10, so that when the upper cover 2 is closed, the flange portion 21 can surround the outside of the seating portion 10, so that the seat ring 1 is covered.

[0026] The sterilization device 3 includes a sterilization water pipe 31 installed on the upper cover 2. The sterilization water pipe 31 has spray nozzles 301 arranged at intervals along its length. The spray nozzles 301 are used to spray sterilization water onto the bearing surface 11. The inlet end of the sterilization water pipe 31 is connected to a sterilization water supply device, and the spray nozzles 301 serve as the outlet end of the sterilization water pipe 31, used to spray sterilization water onto the bearing surface 11 of the seat ring 1. The sterilization water supply device is a device that forms sterilization water by mixing water with sterilizing substances such as active oxygen ions and ozone generated by water ionization. Its specific structure is not within the protection scope of this utility model and will not be described further here.

[0027] The sterilizing water sprayed from the nozzle 301 falls onto the bearing surface 11, which can sterilize the bearing surface 11, but will also leave moisture on the bearing surface 11. At this time, the drying device 4 is needed to dry the bearing surface and accelerate the evaporation of moisture on the bearing surface 11.

[0028] The air-drying device 4 includes an air duct 42 disposed on the upper cover 2. The two ends of the air duct 42 are an air inlet 43 and an air outlet 41, respectively. The air inlet 42 is located in the middle of the upper cover 2, and the air outlet 41 is an annular or semi-annular structure extending along the edge of the upper cover 2. A fan is provided at the air inlet 43, and the air duct 42 extends forward from the air inlet 43. Figure 1 ) or the left and right sides ( Figure 4 , Figure 5 Extending the air duct 42 along the front or left and right sides allows the front or left and right sides of the seat ring 1 to be dried by a faster airflow. The structure at the air inlet 43 is nearly circular, which is beneficial for installing the fan and forming a ring-shaped airflow.

[0029] See Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the air duct 42 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the upper cover 2, and the air duct 42 is formed by a tubular structure component. In other embodiments, an air duct baffle is fixedly provided on the inner surface of the upper cover 2, and the space between the air duct baffle and the inner surface of the upper cover 2 forms the air duct 42. By utilizing the structure of the upper cover 2 in conjunction with the air duct baffle, the air duct 42 can be formed with a simple structure, making manufacturing simple.

[0030] The number of air inlets 43 is not limited to one or more, which is conducive to creating a larger airflow. (See also...) Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the number of air inlets 43 is one, see reference. Figure 5 As shown, there are two air inlets 43, and each air inlet 43 is equipped with a fan. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of air inlets 43 can be more.

[0031] The air duct 42 of the air drying device 4 is also equipped with a heating device to heat the airflow blown out by the fan, thereby blowing hot air onto the seat ring 1 and further improving the air drying efficiency of the seat ring 1.

[0032] See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the air outlet 41 of the air drying device 4 extends in a semi-circular shape along the flange portion 21 to blow airflow onto the bearing surface 11. In this embodiment, the air outlet 41 is set to extend in a semi-circular shape, which can correspond to the bearing portion 10 and accurately blow airflow onto the bearing portion 10 to accelerate the evaporation of moisture on the bearing surface 11, and also improve the effect of the air drying device on drying the seat ring.

[0033] The upper cover 2 is provided with an air guide 22, which extends in the same direction as the flange 21. Both extend in a semi-circular manner and are positioned opposite to each other with a gap between them, forming an air outlet 41. The air outlet 41 formed by the cooperation of the air guide 22 and the flange 21 allows the air outlet 41 to extend circumferentially along the flange 21 of the upper cover 2, and also guides the airflow at the air outlet 41 to accurately blow it onto the seat ring. In addition, the structure of the air guide 22 can be simplified by utilizing the existing structure of the flange 21 of the upper cover 2. In this embodiment, the air guide 22 protrudes from the upper cover 2 toward the seat ring 1, and the air guide 22 is approximately parallel to the flange 21, thereby allowing the air guide 22 to be integrally formed into the upper cover 2, simplifying manufacturing. In other embodiments, the air guide 22 may also extend downward and inward from the upper cover 2, i.e., tilted toward the center of the seat ring, so that the airflow at the air outlet 41 can tilt from the outer edge of the bearing surface 11 toward the center, increasing the diffusion range of the airflow on the bearing surface 11.

[0034] The sterilization water pipe 31 of the sterilization device 3 and the air outlet 41 of the drying device 4 are arranged adjacent to each other and extend in the same direction, so that the air outlet 41 is close to the water spray nozzle 301. On the bearing surface 11, a lot of moisture usually accumulates or even forms water droplets near the water spray nozzle 301. By placing the air outlet 41 near the sterilization water pipe 31 and the water spray nozzle 301, the stronger airflow can be directed to the area with more moisture, that is, the area with more moisture on the bearing surface 11 can be dried more vigorously, which is beneficial to improving the drying efficiency of the seat ring 1.

[0035] Although the present invention has been specifically shown and described in conjunction with preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the remaining undescribed parts are prior art, and that all changes in form and detail made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
