Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toilet seat technology, and in particular to an integrated electronic seat. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, smart toilets have posterior and feminine wash functions. Typically, retractable posterior and feminine wash spray nozzles are installed on the toilet seat or the toilet body. The water sprayed from the posterior and feminine wash spray nozzles needs to be heated to improve the user experience. Therefore, a heating module needs to be installed in the water circuit to heat the water flow in real time. A silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) is used to switch the heating module on and off and control its power. At the same time, an electronic control module is used to control the extension and retraction functions of the posterior and feminine wash spray nozzles.

[0003] In existing technologies, the thyristor and electronic control module are integrated, resulting in a large size. Therefore, the electronic control components (including the thyristor and electronic control module) of existing smart toilets are located in the back seat, making the toilet bulky and costly. Furthermore, existing technologies, such as those disclosed in patent publication number CN221963500U, which disclose the use of a heating film within the seat ring for heating, do not reveal any technical instruction on integrating the electronic control components and heating module within the seat ring. In view of this, this utility model proposes an integrated electronic seat ring that overcomes the aforementioned shortcomings, hence this application. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0019] This invention integrates the electronic control module within the cavity of the toilet seat body, eliminating the need to place the electronic control module inside the toilet seat, thus reducing size and cost. Furthermore, the switch and power control modules of the electronic control module are separately configured and interconnected, allowing the toilet seat body to be designed to be relatively flat, further reducing its size.

[0020] To better understand the above technical solutions, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, an integrated electronic seat ring according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a seat ring body 1 and an electronic control module 2.

[0022] The seat body 1 has a cavity 11, in which a water flow pipe 12 is provided. In some examples, the seat body 1 is formed by the interlocking of an upper seat and a lower seat to facilitate the assembly of fittings within the seat body 1, and the cavity 11 may be formed within the upper and / or lower seat. The seat body 1 is hinged to the toilet body, and a heating diaphragm may be provided on the seat body 1 to heat it.

[0023] The electronic control module 2 is disposed within the cavity 11 of the seat body 1. The electronic control module 2 controls the heating module 3 and the extension / retraction of the spray bar 4. With high integration and a small size, the electronic control module 2 can be directly disposed within the cavity 11 of the seat body 1 without affecting the thickness of the seat body 1, thus not affecting its usability. The heating module 3 can be an instant heating module or a storage heating module. In some examples, the heating module 3 is preferably an instant heating tube (stainless steel / quartz tube). Water flows through the instant heating tube, and the heating power is controlled in real-time by the high-power thyristor of the electronic control module 2. In some examples, the spray bar 4 can include a posterior wash spray bar and a feminine wash spray bar to achieve different cleaning functions. Both the posterior wash spray bar and the feminine wash spray bar are retractable and connected to the electronic control module 2, whose extension / retraction is controlled by the electronic control module 2. The spray bar 4 is preferably disposed within the seat body 1, but can also be disposed on the toilet body.

[0024] Since the electronic control module 2 is integrated into the cavity 11 of the seat body 1, and is used to control the heating module 3 for heating and the extension and retraction of the spray bar 4, there is no need to place the electronic control module 2 in the toilet seat, thereby reducing the size and cost. Existing technology only discloses the placement of a heating film in the seat body 1 for heating the seat body 1, without revealing any technical inspiration for placing the electronic control components in the seat body 1.

[0025] In some examples, the electronic control module 2 includes a switch and power control module 21 and an electronic control module 22. These two modules are separately configured but interconnected, preferably via a wired connection, but wireless connection is also possible. The switch and power control module 21 controls the heating module 3, while the electronic control module 22 controls the extension and retraction of the spray bar 4. The electronic control module 22 is typically a circuit board, which is existing technology, and its specific structure will not be described here. The switch and power control module 21 can be a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) to control the power and switching of the heating module 3, thereby achieving water temperature regulation.

[0026] Because the switch and power control module 21 and the electronic control module 22 are separately configured, they can be placed in different positions, reducing the overall height of the seat ring body 1 and allowing it to be made flatter, further reducing its size. In the prior art, the switch and power control module 21 and the electronic control module 22 are integrated, resulting in a larger overall size, making it impossible to place them inside the seat ring body 1; otherwise, the seat ring body 1 would be too thick to use. Therefore, this invention separates the existing electronic control module 2, allowing it to be placed inside the seat ring body 1 without affecting its thickness.

[0027] Meanwhile, since the switch and power control module 21 (thyristor) is a heat-generating component, it is located in the seat body 1 and requires heat dissipation. Therefore, the switch and power control module 21 is equipped with a heat sink 211 that contacts the water flow in the water pipe 12. The heat sink 211 is preferably made of copper sheet, as copper has good thermal conductivity. The water pipe 12 has an opening, and the heat sink 211 covers the opening to contact the water flow, thus achieving heat dissipation. By using unheated water to dissipate heat from the switch and power control module 21, no additional heat dissipation structure is needed, simplifying the structure and saving costs. Of course, the heat sink 211 can also be directly inserted into the water pipe 12 for contact with the water flow.

[0028] In some examples, the heating module 3 is disposed in the cavity 11 of the seat body 1, the heating module 3 is connected in series in the water flow pipe 12, the heating part of the heating module 3 is provided with a first temperature sensing probe 5 connected to the electronic control module 2, and the water outlet part of the heating module 3 is provided with a second temperature sensing probe 6 connected to the electronic control module 2.

[0029] The heating section of heating module 3 is typically the heating element of the heating element. A first temperature sensor 5 is connected to a switch and power control module 21 to detect the temperature at the heating section. When the temperature is too high, the first temperature sensor 5 transmits a signal to the switch and power control module 21, which then controls the heating module 3 to forcibly cut off power. The water outlet section of heating module 3 is typically the water outlet, where the heated water temperature is detected. A second temperature sensor 6 transmits a signal to the switch and power control module 21, which then controls the power of the heating module 3 to regulate different water temperatures. Therefore, precise control is achieved, and safe operation is ensured.

[0030] The heating module 3 is equipped with a pressure reducing valve 7 at the water inlet end. The pressure reducing valve 7 is connected in series in the water flow pipeline 12. The pressure reducing valve 7 reduces the high pressure of the water to reduce the damage of the water pressure to the water flow pipeline 12. The pressure reducing valve 7 is existing technology, and its specific structure will not be described here.

[0031] The outlet of the heating module 3 is equipped with a diversion valve 8, which is connected in series in the water flow pipe 12. The outlet of the diversion valve 8 is connected to the spray bar 4. The diversion valve 8 can be a one-inlet, two-outlet valve. The inlet end is connected to the heating module 3, and the outlet end is divided into two paths, which are connected to the posterior wash spray bar and the feminine wash spray bar respectively. It can be a mechanical valve for manual switching or a solenoid valve for automatic switching. Switching the diversion valve 8 allows the posterior wash spray bar and the feminine wash spray bar to spray water selectively.

[0032] The electrical control component and heating module of this utility model are all housed in the cavity 11 of the seat body 1, thereby reducing the size and cost. Its overall working principle is as follows: water flows into the water pipe 12 and first passes through the heat sink 211 to remove heat from the switch and power control module 21; then it flows through the pressure reducing valve 7 to reduce the water pressure; then it flows into the heating module 3 for heating. The first temperature sensor 5 detects the temperature at the heating part of the heating module 3. When the temperature is too high, the switch and power control module 21 control the heating module 3 to forcibly cut off the power. The second temperature sensor 6 detects the heated water temperature, and the switch and power control module 21 control the power of the heating module 3 to adjust the water temperature accordingly. The heated water is then diverted by the diversion valve 8 to the posterior wash spray bar or feminine wash spray bar.
