Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of smart toilets, specifically relating to a toilet with a concealed front-end shower and dryer. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, smart toilet seats generally lack designs specifically for male anatomy. Traditional feminine wash modes use a forward-spraying method, which fails to effectively cover the male genital area in terms of water flow angle and position. Market research shows that mainstream products do not yet offer dedicated washing solutions for localized cleaning of the male genital area.

[0003] The utility model patent with announcement number CN221654157U proposes an external faucet structure to address the needs of men's rinsing, but its design has the following technical defects:

[0004] Decreased aesthetics: External faucets require the installation of a separate spray pipe on the side of the toilet, which disrupts the integrated design of the toilet seat, resulting in an abrupt appearance and disproportionate relationship with the seat.

[0005] Hygiene and maintenance risks: Exposed showerheads are exposed to the humid environment of the bathroom for a long time, making them prone to bacterial growth (such as E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus), and water stains accumulate to form stubborn dirt, increasing the frequency of manual cleaning; wastewater can easily remain at the connection of external pipes, creating unsanitary corners;

[0006] Inability to dry quickly: Traditional drying fans mainly focus on the anus, and the wind speed and temperature of the hot air are greatly reduced in the male genital area, resulting in low drying efficiency.

[0007] The utility model with announcement number CN213926564U proposes a smart toilet seat that is convenient for men to spray and wash. It adopts a flip-top structure at the front of the seat ring to hide the spray nozzle. However, it has the problem that water splashes outwards when spraying and the position cannot be adjusted according to the user's body shape. Utility Model Content

[0008] This invention aims to address the problems of reduced aesthetics, hygiene, and maintenance risks associated with male flush toilets that use external faucets.

[0009] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a concealed front-end shower and dryer toilet, including a toilet body, a fixed seat, a seat ring and a cover plate. The fixed seat is installed on the toilet body, and the seat ring and cover plate are each hinged to the fixed seat and connected to a flipping drive mechanism to drive them to open and close.

[0010] The fixed seat is equipped with a first water supply mechanism, which is connected to the shower head at the front of the seat ring via a water channel hidden inside the seat ring.

[0011] Furthermore, the shower head is embedded in the seat ring through a pull-out structure. The shower head can extend into or retract into the toilet body cavity and be embedded in the seat ring. The hinge shaft between the seat ring and the fixed seat is a hollow shaft. The water supply hose connected to the first water supply mechanism passes through the hollow shaft into the cavity of the seat ring and connects to the shower head.

[0012] Furthermore, a handle groove is provided on the top surface of the shower.

[0013] Furthermore, an anti-slip limiter is provided between the shower head and the seat ring.

[0014] Furthermore, a first drying mechanism is provided inside the toilet body. The air outlet of the first drying mechanism is located at the tail end of the two side walls of the toilet body cavity. Air channels are provided along the two side walls of the cavity from the air outlet. The air channels on both sides extend to the position of the shower head and are blocked by the turbulence structure.

[0015] Furthermore, the end of the air duct is provided with a smooth protrusion, which serves as a turbulence structure.

[0016] Furthermore, a second drying mechanism and a forward-extending spray bar are installed inside the fixed base.

[0017] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the seat ring is provided with a downwardly extending flange around the showerhead.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0019] This utility model provides a concealed front-end shower and dryer toilet. The shower unit is fully embedded in the front of the seat via a pull-out structure. It extends when in use and retracts completely when not in use, completely eliminating the visual abruptness of external faucets or traditional exposed spray nozzles. This makes the overall appearance of the toilet more concise, streamlined, and modern, perfectly integrating into the bathroom space. The shower unit retracts and hides within the seat when not in use, effectively avoiding the risk of contamination from flushing water mist, dust, or foreign objects when exposed above the toilet bowl.

[0020] The water supply hose cleverly passes through the hollow shaft at the hinge of the fixed seat and the seat ring into the seat ring cavity, and then connects to the shower head; the entire water supply path (from the first water supply mechanism in the fixed seat to the shower head) is wrapped inside the toilet body, fixed seat and seat ring, and no pipes or hoses are visible on the outside, which greatly improves the overall aesthetics.

[0021] The airflow of the first drying mechanism blows out from the air outlets on both sides of the rear of the toilet bowl and is guided forward along the air channels on both sides to the shower head (the key area when the user is sitting). The smooth protrusions (turbulence structure) at the end of the air channels force the airflow to turn and diffuse, thereby better covering the front area of ​​the toilet bowl (the user's private parts), significantly improving the drying efficiency and uniformity, and enhancing user comfort.

[0022] This invention successfully solves the problems of poor aesthetics, susceptibility to contamination, and exposed, easily damaged pipes associated with external faucets by concealing the shower head within the front of the seat, utilizing a hollow hinged shaft for pipe routing, and optimizing the drying air duct and turbulence structure. Simultaneously, it significantly improves cleanliness, drying efficiency and comfort, equipment reliability, and ease of maintenance, and achieves flexible integration of front and rear cleaning functions, providing users with a more aesthetically pleasing, hygienic, comfortable, and reliable high-quality smart toilet experience.

Detailed Implementation

[0032] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model or the prior art, the drawings used in the description of the embodiments or the prior art will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 2The illustration shows a concealed front-end shower and dryer toilet, which is a modification of an existing smart toilet. It includes a toilet body 1, a fixed base 2, a seat ring 3, and a lid 4. The fixed base 2 is mounted on the toilet body 1. The seat ring 3 and lid 4 are each hinged to the fixed base 2 and connected to a flipping drive mechanism to open and close them. The lid flipping drive mechanism 13 drives the lid 4 to open or close, and the seat ring flipping drive mechanism 14 drives the seat ring 3 to open or close. A second drying mechanism 11 and a forward-extending spray bar 12 are provided inside the fixed base 2. The forward-extending spray bar 12 is used for feminine wash and post-defecation cleaning, and the second drying mechanism 11 is used for drying the area around the anus. The above describes the structure of an existing smart toilet. This embodiment does not involve modifications to existing functions, therefore, prior art will not be elaborated upon.

[0034] The difference between this embodiment and the prior art is that a first water supply mechanism 5 is provided inside the fixed seat 2, and the first water supply mechanism 5 is connected to the shower head 6 at the front end of the seat ring 3 via a water channel hidden inside the seat ring 3; the shower head 6 hidden at the front end of the seat ring 3 is specially designed for male users, providing a more precise and convenient rinsing experience; the bottom-outlet shower method not only eliminates the discomfort of water rinsing, but also serves as a splash preventer.

[0035] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown: The shower head 6 is embedded in the seat ring 3 via a pull-out structure. The shower head 6 can extend into or retract into the toilet body 1 and be embedded in the seat ring 3. The hinge shaft between the seat ring 3 and the fixed base 2 is a hollow shaft. The water supply hose 7, connected to the first water supply mechanism 5, passes through the hollow shaft into the cavity of the seat ring 3 and connects to the shower head 6. The pull-out operation of the shower head 6 is simple and intuitive, and the concealed design makes function switching and use more elegant and smooth. When not in use, the shower head 6 retracts and is hidden inside the seat ring 3, effectively avoiding the risk of contamination from flushing water mist, dust, or foreign objects when exposed above the toilet cavity. The water supply hose 7 runs through the hollow hinge shaft and is protected within the seat ring cavity, avoiding problems such as bending, squeezing, stepping, and accelerated aging that may occur with exposed pipes, greatly reducing the risk of leakage and malfunction, and extending its service life. Furthermore, the waterfall-style downward shower prevents water from splashing outwards.

[0036] One end of the shower head 6 is a water inlet, which is connected to the water supply hose 7; the other end of the shower head 6 is a water outlet, which is a narrow groove to increase the width of the water flow and increase the showering range; the top surface of the shower head 6 is provided with a handle groove 6.1 for easy pulling operation by the user.

[0037] A detachment prevention limit is provided between the shower head 6 and the seat ring 3. This detachment prevention limit can be achieved by adding a pin to the tail of the shower head 6. The seat ring 3 has grooves on both sides of the shower head 6. The pin engages with these grooves, allowing the shower head 6 to slide back and forth. The position can be adjusted according to different user body shapes. The pin stops sliding at the end of the groove. When the shower head 6 is pulled out, the pin stops at the end of the groove to prevent complete removal. The pin can also rotate within the groove, allowing the shower head 6 to be lifted upwards, adjusting the tilt angle according to different user body shapes.

[0038] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown: A first drying mechanism 8 is installed inside the toilet body 1. The air outlet 8.1 of the first drying mechanism 8 is located at the rear of the side walls of the toilet body 1. Air channels 9 are arranged along the side walls of the toilet body 1 from the air outlet 8.1. The air channels 9 on both sides extend to the position of the shower head 6 and are blocked by a turbulence structure. The end of the air channel 9 is provided with a smooth protrusion 10, which serves as a turbulence structure. The airflow of the first drying mechanism 8 is blown out from the air outlet 8.1 on the side walls of the rear of the toilet body and guided forward along the air channels 9 on both sides to the position of the shower head 6 (i.e., the key area when the user is sitting). The smooth protrusion (turbulence structure) at the end of the air channel 9 forces the airflow to change direction and diffuse, thereby better covering the front area of ​​the toilet body (the user's private parts), significantly improving the drying efficiency and uniformity, and enhancing the user's comfort.

[0039] like Figure 8 As shown: The bottom surface of the seat ring 3 is provided with a downwardly extending baffle 15 around the shower head 6 to prevent water flowing out of the shower head 6 from flowing into the gap between the seat ring 3 and the toilet body 1.
