Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smart bathroom technology, and in particular to a cleaning module, a smart toilet seat, and a smart toilet. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of living standards and the development of smart home technology, smart toilets are gradually gaining popularity among consumers due to their comfort, hygiene, and convenience. Traditional smart toilet seats are usually equipped with functions such as seat heating, spray gun cleaning, and warm air drying to enhance the user's toilet experience. These functions can be controlled via a separate remote control. Among them, spray washing and drying are two core functions that directly affect the user experience.

[0003] However, traditional smart toilets typically use separate spray guns and drying devices. After washing, users need to adjust their posture or wait for the drying mechanism to align with the cleaned area, which is not very convenient. In addition, because the spray and drying mechanisms are controlled separately, the positioning between them is poor, which may result in the drying airflow not accurately covering the cleaned area, affecting drying efficiency and even causing user discomfort.

[0004] The information disclosed above in the background section of this application is only for understanding the background of the concept of this application and does not indicate or imply that it includes information of the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a cleaning module, a smart toilet seat, and a smart toilet to address the above problems.

[0006] This application provides a cleaning module, which includes:

[0007] Base;

[0008] A spray washing assembly, wherein the spray washing assembly is disposed on the base and is capable of telescopic movement relative to the base, and one end of the spray washing assembly is provided with a water spray nozzle; and

[0009] The drying tube has a drying air duct inside. The two ends of the drying tube are respectively provided with an air inlet and an air outlet. The drying tube is located on the spray washing assembly and is arranged in parallel with the spray washing assembly. The end of the drying tube with the air outlet is close to the end of the spray washing assembly with the water spray nozzle. The drying tube can extend and retract relative to the base under the drive of the spray washing assembly.

[0010] The aforementioned cleaning module can be applied to smart toilets, achieving at least the following beneficial effects: By arranging the drying pipe and the spray washing assembly side-by-side, and enabling the drying pipe to extend and retract relative to the base under the drive of the spray washing assembly, the synchronous extension and retraction of the water nozzle and the air outlet is achieved, ensuring that the cleaning and drying areas always maintain an optimal correspondence. On one hand, the structural arrangement of the drying pipe with the air outlet near the end of the spray washing assembly with the water nozzle allows the drying airflow to accurately cover the cleaned area, improving drying efficiency. On the other hand, the integrated linkage design of the drying pipe and the spray washing assembly eliminates the need for a separate extension and retraction drive device for the drying pipe, reducing the number of moving parts, lowering manufacturing costs, simplifying the overall structure, and optimizing space utilization through a compact layout. This makes the overall structure of the cleaning module more compact, particularly suitable for space-constrained applications such as smart toilets, facilitating installation and maintenance.

[0011] In some embodiments, the spray washing assembly includes a movable bracket mounted on the base and capable of telescopic movement relative to the base, and a spray gun mounted on the movable bracket. One end of the spray gun has a water nozzle, and the drying pipe is connected to the movable bracket. By connecting the drying pipe to the movable bracket, the spray gun and the drying pipe can achieve synchronous linkage through the telescopic movement of the movable bracket, ensuring that the water nozzle and the air outlet maintain a stable relative position during telescopic movement. The layout of integrating the spray gun and the drying pipe onto the same movable bracket optimizes space utilization efficiency, making the structure of the cleaning module more compact and facilitating the coordinated operation of cleaning and drying functions within a limited space. The movable bracket, as a common support structure for the spray gun and the drying pipe, not only simplifies the design of the drive mechanism and avoids the complexity of separately controlling the telescopic movement of the spray gun and the drying pipe, but also improves the overall structural rigidity and motion stability.

[0012] In some embodiments, the connection between the drying tube and the movable support includes at least one of threaded connection, snap-fit, adhesive bonding, and welding.

[0013] In some embodiments, the spray washing assembly further includes a water supply pipe connected to the spray gun.

[0014] In some embodiments, the cleaning module further includes an air supply assembly connected to the air inlet. The air supply assembly delivers airflow to the drying duct through the air inlet. The air supply assembly may also integrate heating elements such as heating wires to heat the airflow, thereby improving drying efficiency and comfort. The heating elements may be built into the air supply assembly or the drying tube, working in conjunction with a temperature sensor and control module to achieve precise temperature control, ensuring that the output airflow temperature remains stable within a suitable range.

[0015] In some embodiments, the base is provided with a guide rail, and the movable bracket is slidably mounted on the guide rail. The movable bracket is movably mounted on the guide rail through a sliding fit structure, enabling smooth extension and retraction of the spray washing assembly. The guide rail can be a linear slide rail, a ball bearing slide rail, or a guide groove design to ensure that the movable bracket maintains stability and low friction during sliding. Simultaneously, a limiting structure can be provided at the end of the guide rail to prevent the movable bracket from detaching, improving the smoothness and precision of user operation.

[0016] In some embodiments, the cleaning module further includes a drive component mounted on the base. The drive component is connected to the movable support and drives the movable support to extend and retract relative to the base. The drive component can use a stepper motor, DC motor, or linear motor as a power source, and employs a transmission method such as a rack and pinion, synchronous belt, or lead screw to achieve precise displacement control of the spray washing assembly. The drive system can integrate a position sensor to provide real-time feedback on the extension and retraction status of the movable support and link with the main control system to ensure automatic positioning of the spray washing assembly in cleaning and drying modes.

[0017] In some embodiments, the cleaning module further includes a guide ring assembly disposed on the base. The guide ring assembly is sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the spray gun and the drying tube. When the spray gun and the drying tube move telescopically relative to the base, the guide ring assembly can guide the movement direction of the spray gun and the drying tube. The guide ring assembly can be made of wear-resistant, low-friction engineering plastics or composite materials. The guide ring assembly, sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the spray gun and the drying tube, provides radial limiting and axial guiding functions during the telescopic movement of the spray gun and the drying tube, effectively preventing problems such as swaying or jamming during movement.

[0018] In some embodiments, the guide ring assembly includes a first guide ring and a second guide ring detachably connected to the base. The first guide ring is sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the spray gun to guide the extension and retraction direction of the spray gun, and the second guide ring is sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the drying tube to guide the outer circumferential surface of the drying tube. The first guide ring and the second guide ring are fixed to the base by means of snap-fit ​​or threaded structure. The separate design of the first and second guide rings facilitates individual maintenance or replacement. When the spray gun or drying tube needs maintenance, the corresponding guide ring can be disassembled independently, significantly improving the maintenance convenience and cost of the module.

[0019] In some embodiments, the first guide ring is closed-loop, with a first guide hole inside. The spray gun slidably passes through the first guide hole. The second guide ring is open-loop, with its opening facing a portion of the outer circumferential surface of the first guide ring. The portion of the outer circumferential surface of the first guide ring and the inner circumferential surface of the second guide ring together form a second guide hole. The drying tube slidably passes through the second guide hole. The first guide ring can be a closed-loop structure with a first guide hole inside for the spray gun to slide through. The second guide ring is designed as an open-loop structure with an opening, which can be considered roughly C-shaped, with its opening facing the outer circumferential surface of the first guide ring. This opening portion, together with the outer wall of the first guide ring, forms the second guide hole, and the drying tube slidably passes through this second guide hole. This structural design allows the outer wall of the first guide ring to simultaneously serve as part of the second guide hole, ensuring coaxial fit between the two components and simplifying the overall assembly process. The open-loop second guide ring allows the drying tube to be installed directly from the side without completely penetrating the guide ring, facilitating quick disassembly and assembly during maintenance.

[0020] In some embodiments, the wall of the first guide hole is provided with a first guide rib, which abuts against the outer circumferential surface of the spray gun. The first guide rib protruding from the wall of the first guide hole can be considered as the first guide rib protruding from the inner circumferential surface of the first guide ring. Multiple first guide ribs can be provided, spaced apart circumferentially along the first guide hole. The first guide rib extends axially and directly abuts against the outer circumferential surface of the spray gun, reducing the friction area through line contact. This effectively reduces sliding resistance while ensuring the accuracy of the spray gun's telescopic movement. Furthermore, the height or number of the first guide ribs can be adjusted to accommodate spray guns of different diameters.

[0021] In some embodiments, the wall of the second guide hole is provided with a second guide rib, which abuts against the outer circumferential surface of the drying tube. The provision of the second guide rib on the wall of the second guide hole can be considered as the second guide rib protruding from a portion of the outer circumferential surface of the first guide ring and / or the inner circumferential surface of the second guide ring. Multiple second guide ribs can be provided, spaced apart circumferentially along the second guide hole. The second guide rib can extend axially and directly abut against the outer circumferential surface of the drying tube, reducing the friction area through line contact. While ensuring the accuracy of the extension and retraction movement of the drying tube, this effectively reduces sliding resistance. Furthermore, the height or number of the second guide ribs can be adjusted to accommodate drying tubes of different diameters.

[0022] In some embodiments, the base is provided with a buckle and a insertion groove, the first guide ring is at least partially embedded in the insertion groove, and the second guide ring is provided with a locking hole, through which the second guide ring cooperates with the buckle to engage with the base.

[0023] This application also provides a smart toilet seat, which includes a core base and a cleaning module as described in any of the above embodiments, wherein the base of the cleaning module is disposed on the core base.

[0024] This application also provides a smart toilet, which includes a toilet seat and a smart toilet lid as described in any of the above embodiments, wherein the smart toilet lid is disposed on the toilet seat.

[0025] The aforementioned smart toilet seat and smart toilet, because they include the cleaning module described in any of the above embodiments, also have at least the following beneficial effects: The cleaning module, by arranging the drying pipe and the spray washing assembly side-by-side, and by having the drying pipe extend and retract relative to the base under the drive of the spray washing assembly (e.g., extending above the toilet bowl), achieves synchronized extension and retraction of the water spray nozzle and the air outlet, ensuring that the cleaning and drying areas always maintain the optimal correspondence. On one hand, the structural arrangement of the drying pipe with the air outlet near the end of the spray washing assembly with the water spray nozzle allows the drying airflow to accurately cover the cleaned area, improving drying efficiency. On the other hand, the integrated linkage design of the drying pipe and the spray washing assembly eliminates the need for a separate extension and retraction drive device for the drying pipe, reducing the number of moving parts, lowering manufacturing costs, simplifying the overall structure, and creating a compact layout that optimizes space utilization. This makes the overall structure of the cleaning module more compact, particularly suitable for space-constrained applications such as smart toilets, facilitating installation and maintenance.

Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0039] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, this application provides a cleaning module 13, which includes a base 100, a spray washing assembly 200, and a drying tube 300. The spray washing assembly 200 is disposed on the base 100 and is capable of telescopic movement relative to the base 100. One end of the spray washing assembly 200 is provided with a water spray nozzle 221. The drying tube 300 has a drying air duct 310 formed inside it. Both ends of the drying tube 300 are respectively provided with an air inlet 320 and an air outlet 330. The drying tube 300 is disposed on the spray washing assembly 200 and arranged parallel to it. The end of the drying tube 300 with the air outlet 330 is close to the end of the spray washing assembly 200 with the water spray nozzle 221. The drying tube 300 is capable of telescopic movement relative to the base 100 under the action of the spray washing assembly 200.

[0040] The aforementioned cleaning module 13 can be applied to the smart toilet 10, and it can achieve at least the following beneficial effects: by arranging the drying tube 300 and the spray washing assembly 200 side by side, and by making the drying tube 300 extend and retract relative to the base 100 under the drive of the spray washing assembly 200, the synchronous extension and retraction of the water nozzle 221 and the air outlet 330 is realized, ensuring that the cleaning and drying areas always maintain the best correspondence. On the one hand, the arrangement of the drying pipe 300 with the air outlet 330 at one end close to the end of the spray washing assembly 200 with the water spray nozzle 221 allows the drying airflow to accurately cover the cleaned area, improving drying efficiency. On the other hand, the integrated linkage design of the drying pipe 300 and the spray washing assembly 200 eliminates the need for a separate telescopic drive device for the drying pipe 300, reducing the number of moving parts, lowering manufacturing costs, simplifying the overall structure, and making the layout compact and optimizing space utilization. This makes the overall structure of the cleaning module 13 more compact, especially suitable for space-constrained applications such as the smart toilet 10, facilitating installation and maintenance.

[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the spray washing assembly 200 includes a movable bracket 210 disposed on the base 100 and capable of telescopic movement relative to the base 100, and a spray gun 220 disposed on the movable bracket 210. One end of the spray gun 220 is provided with the water spray nozzle 221, and the drying pipe 300 is connected to the movable bracket 210. By connecting the drying tube 300 to the movable bracket 210, the spray gun 220 and the drying tube 300 can achieve synchronous linkage through the extension and retraction movement of the movable bracket 210, ensuring that the water nozzle 221 and the air outlet 330 maintain a stable relative position during the extension and retraction process. The layout of integrating the spray gun 220 and the drying tube 300 on the same movable bracket 210 optimizes space utilization efficiency, making the structure of the cleaning module 13 more compact and facilitating the coordinated operation of cleaning and drying functions in a limited space. The movable bracket 210, as a common support structure for the spray gun 220 and the drying tube 300, not only simplifies the design of the drive mechanism and avoids the complexity of separately controlling the extension and retraction of the spray gun 220 and the drying tube 300, but also improves the rigidity and motion stability of the overall structure.

[0042] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the cleaning module 13 further includes a drive component 400 disposed on the base 100. The drive component 400 is connected to the movable bracket 210 and is used to drive the movable bracket 210 to perform telescopic movement relative to the base 100. The drive component 400 can use a stepper motor, DC motor, or linear motor as a power source, and cooperate with gear rack, synchronous belt, or lead screw and nut transmission methods to achieve precise displacement control of the spray washing assembly 200. The drive system can integrate a position sensor to provide real-time feedback on the telescopic state of the movable bracket 210 and link with the main control system to ensure the automatic positioning of the spray washing assembly 200 in cleaning and drying modes.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the cleaning module 13 further includes a guide ring assembly 500 disposed on the base 100. The guide ring assembly 500 is sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the spray gun 220 and the drying tube 300. When the spray gun 220 and the drying tube 300 move telescopically relative to the base 100, the guide ring assembly 500 can guide the movement direction of the spray gun 220 and the drying tube 300. The guide ring assembly 500 can be made of wear-resistant, low-friction engineering plastics or composite materials. The guide ring assembly 500, sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the spray gun 220 and the drying tube 300, provides radial limiting and axial guiding functions when the spray gun 220 and the drying tube 300 move telescopically, effectively preventing problems such as swaying or jamming of the spray gun 220 and the drying tube 300 during movement.

[0044] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the guide ring assembly 500 includes a first guide ring 510 and a second guide ring 520 detachably connected to the base 100. The first guide ring 510 is sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the spray gun 220 to guide the extension and retraction direction of the spray gun 220, and the second guide ring 520 is sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the drying tube 300 to guide the outer circumferential surface of the drying tube 300. The first guide ring 510 and the second guide ring 520 are fixed to the base 100 by means of a snap-fit ​​120 or a threaded structure. The separate design of the first guide ring 510 and the second guide ring 520 facilitates individual maintenance or replacement. When the spray gun 220 or the drying tube 300 needs maintenance, the corresponding guide ring can be disassembled independently, significantly improving the maintenance convenience and cost of the module.

[0045] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the first guide ring 510 is closed-loop, and a first guide hole 511 is provided inside the first guide ring 510. The spray gun 220 is slidably inserted through the first guide hole 511. The second guide ring 520 is open-loop, with its opening facing a portion of the outer peripheral surface of the first guide ring 510. The portion of the outer peripheral surface of the first guide ring 510 and the inner peripheral surface of the second guide ring 520 enclose each other to form a second guide hole 521. The drying tube 300 is slidably inserted through the second guide hole 521. The first guide ring 510 can be a closed-loop structure, with a first guide hole 511 inside for the spray gun 220 to slide through. The second guide ring 520 is designed as an open-loop with an opening, which can be considered to be roughly C-shaped, and its opening faces the outer peripheral surface of the first guide ring 510. This opening portion and the outer wall of the first guide ring 510 together enclose the second guide hole 521, and the drying tube 300 is slidably inserted through the second guide hole 521. This structural design allows the outer wall of the first guide ring 510 to simultaneously serve as a component of the second guide hole 521, ensuring coaxial fit between the two components and simplifying the overall assembly process. The open-loop second guide ring 520 allows the drying tube 300 to be installed directly from the side without completely penetrating the guide ring, facilitating quick disassembly and assembly during maintenance.

[0046] like Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, the first guide hole 511 has a first guide rib 512 protruding from its wall, and the first guide rib 512 abuts against the outer circumferential surface of the spray gun 220. The first guide rib 512 protruding from the wall of the first guide hole 511 can be considered as the first guide rib 512 protruding from the inner circumferential surface of the first guide ring 510. Multiple first guide ribs 512 can be provided, and these multiple first guide ribs 512 are spaced apart circumferentially along the first guide hole 511. The first guide rib 512 can extend axially and directly abut against the outer circumferential surface of the spray gun 220, reducing the friction area through line contact. While ensuring the telescopic movement accuracy of the spray gun 220, this effectively reduces sliding resistance. Furthermore, the height or number of the first guide ribs 512 can be adjusted to accommodate spray guns 220 of different diameters.

[0047] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the second guide hole 521 has a second guide rib 522 protruding from its wall, and the second guide rib 522 abuts against the outer circumferential surface of the drying tube 300. The second guide rib 522 protruding from the wall of the second guide hole 521 can be considered as part of the outer circumferential surface of the first guide ring 510 and / or the inner circumferential surface of the second guide ring 520 having the second guide rib 522 protruding. Multiple second guide ribs 522 can be provided, spaced apart circumferentially along the second guide hole 521. The second guide rib 522 can extend axially and directly abut against the outer circumferential surface of the drying tube 300, reducing the friction area through line contact. While ensuring the accuracy of the telescopic movement of the drying tube 300, this effectively reduces sliding resistance. Furthermore, the height or number of the second guide ribs 522 can be adjusted to accommodate drying tubes 300 of different diameters.

[0048] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the base 100 is provided with a buckle 120 and a insertion groove 130, the first guide ring 510 is at least partially embedded in the insertion groove 130, and the second guide ring 520 is provided with a locking hole 523, the second guide ring 520 cooperates with the buckle 120 through the locking hole 523 to engage with the base 100.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the spray washing assembly 200 further includes a water supply pipe 230 connected to the spray gun 220.

[0050] In some embodiments, the connection between the drying tube 300 and the movable support 210 includes at least one of threaded connection, snap-fit, adhesive bonding, and welding.

[0051] In some embodiments, the cleaning module 13 further includes an air supply assembly connected to the air inlet 320. The air supply assembly can deliver airflow to the drying duct 310 through the air inlet 320. The air supply assembly can also integrate heating elements such as heating wires to heat the airflow, thereby improving drying efficiency and comfort. The heating elements can be built into the air supply assembly or the drying tube 300, working in conjunction with a temperature sensor and control module to achieve precise temperature control, ensuring that the output airflow temperature remains stable within a suitable range.

[0052] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the base 100 is provided with a guide rail 110, and the movable bracket 210 is slidably disposed on the guide rail 110. The movable bracket 210 is movably mounted on the guide rail 110 through a sliding fit structure, realizing the smooth extension and retraction of the spray washing assembly 200. The guide rail 110 can adopt a linear slide rail, a ball slide rail, or a guide groove design to ensure that the movable bracket 210 maintains stability and low friction during sliding. At the same time, a limiting structure can be provided at the end of the guide rail 110 to prevent the movable bracket 210 from falling out, improving the smoothness and accuracy of user operation.

[0053] In addition, such as Figure 9 As shown, this application also provides a smart toilet seat 12, which includes a core base 600, a seat ring 700, a flip cover 800, and a cleaning module 13 as described in any of the above embodiments. The base 100 of the cleaning module 13 is disposed on the core base 600, and the seat ring 700 and the flip cover 800 are rotatably connected to the core base 600.

[0054] In addition, such as Figure 9 As shown, this application also provides a smart toilet 10, which includes a toilet seat 11 and a smart toilet lid 12 as described in any of the above embodiments, wherein the smart toilet lid 12 is disposed on the toilet seat 11.

[0055] The aforementioned smart toilet seat 12 and smart toilet 10, because they include the cleaning module 13 described in any of the above embodiments, also have at least the following beneficial effects: their cleaning module 13, by arranging the drying tube 300 and the spray washing assembly 200 side by side, and by making the drying tube 300 extend and retract relative to the base 100 under the drive of the spray washing assembly 200 (such as extending to the top of the toilet bowl of the toilet seat 11), realizes the synchronous extension and retraction of the water spray nozzle 221 and the air outlet 330, ensuring that the cleaning and drying areas always maintain the best correspondence. On the one hand, the arrangement of the drying pipe 300 with the air outlet 330 at one end close to the end of the spray washing assembly 200 with the water spray nozzle 221 allows the drying airflow to accurately cover the cleaned area, improving drying efficiency. On the other hand, the integrated linkage design of the drying pipe 300 and the spray washing assembly 200 eliminates the need for a separate telescopic drive device for the drying pipe 300, reducing the number of moving parts, lowering manufacturing costs, simplifying the overall structure, and making the layout compact and optimizing space utilization. This makes the overall structure of the cleaning module 13 more compact, especially suitable for space-constrained applications such as the smart toilet 10, facilitating installation and maintenance.
