[0018] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0019] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly.

[0022] like Figure 1 — Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a smart toilet foot-sensor switch installation structure, which includes a fixing component and a foot-sensor component 2. The fixing component is used to fix the smart toilet foot-sensor switch installation structure to the smart toilet; one of the fixing component and the foot-sensor component 2 is provided with a snap-fit ​​protrusion 13, and the other is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove corresponding to the position of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 13. One end of the snap-fit ​​groove has an opening, and the snap-fit ​​protrusion 13 can rotate from the opening to snap into the snap-fit ​​groove and be fixed in place. When installing the smart toilet foot-sensor switch, simply fix the fixing component to the toilet wall first, and then tighten it at a small angle to make the snap-fit ​​groove and the snap-fit ​​protrusion 13 snap into place to complete the installation of the foot-sensor component 2. During maintenance, there is no need to consider the fixing component; simply tighten it at a small angle to remove the foot-sensor component 2 for maintenance or replacement, which is convenient and quick.

[0023] Understandably, the aforementioned smart toilet foot switch mounting structure can be installed inside or outside the toilet. This mounting structure is simple, with few components, making it easy to manufacture, produce, and assemble. It also overcomes the problem of inconvenience for repair personnel to disassemble, repair, or replace faulty foot switches.

[0024] Furthermore, in this embodiment, an arc-shaped guide groove 12 is provided at the snap-fit ​​protrusion 13. The snap-fit ​​protrusion 13 is disposed in the arc-shaped guide groove 12, and the snap-fit ​​groove is formed in the snap-fit ​​member 21 extending into the arc-shaped guide groove 12. It can be understood that before the snap-fit ​​protrusion 13 and the snap-fit ​​groove are rotated and snapped together, it is necessary to ensure that the fixing part of the two is on the rotation path of the rotating part. However, it is not easy for the operator to directly observe the snap-fit ​​point when installing. Therefore, by providing an arc-shaped guide groove 12 with a snap-fit ​​protrusion 13, and having the snap-fit ​​member 21 with the snap-fit ​​groove extend into the guide groove, it is possible to ensure that the snap-fit ​​protrusion 13 is on the rotation path of the snap-fit ​​groove, and the arc-shaped guide groove 12 can also ensure that the rotation is effective. When installing, the operator only needs to ensure that the snap-fit ​​member 21 enters the arc-shaped guide groove 12 and then rotates. When disassembling, the operator only needs to reverse the installation steps, which will not be described in detail here.

[0025] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the fixing component is provided with a first engagement plane, and the foot sensor 2 is provided with a second engagement plane for engaging with the first engagement plane. One of the corresponding arc-shaped guide groove 12 and the snap-fit ​​member 21 is located on the first engagement plane, and the other is located on the second engagement plane. By setting the first and second engagement planes, the foot sensor 2 can achieve axial abutment positioning when installed on the fixing component. After abutment, rotation is performed to achieve rotational snap-fit. Moreover, the engagement of the two engagement planes improves the overall structural stability and reduces the probability of shaking during use.

[0026] Specifically, in this embodiment, at least two of each of the snap-fit ​​protrusions 13 and snap-fit ​​grooves are provided, and the snap-fit ​​protrusions 13 are spaced apart and arranged in a ring. The snap-fit ​​grooves correspond to the positions of the snap-fit ​​protrusions 13. When multiple snap-fit ​​protrusions 13 and snap-fit ​​grooves engage together, multiple snap-fit ​​structures can share the force during engagement, forming multiple snap-fit ​​connections in the circumferential direction. This results in more even force distribution, improves the connection stability and structural strength between the fixing component and the foot-feeling component 2, and avoids stress concentration damage at the snap-fit ​​grooves and snap-fit ​​protrusions 13.

[0027] Specifically, in this embodiment, the fixing component and / or the foot sensor 2 are provided with a rotation direction indicator. The locking groove and the locking protrusion 13 are rotatably engaged, so only a fixed rotation direction can complete the rotational engagement or rotational contact engagement. Providing a rotation direction indicator makes it easier for operators to determine the turning direction, preventing damage to the structure caused by forcibly twisting in the opposite direction. The rotation direction indicator can be an arrow, text, or other forms of representation, allowing users to quickly determine the desired rotation direction, thus improving the overall convenience and reliability of the fixing structure.

[0028] Specifically, in this embodiment, the fixing component is fixed to the inner wall of the smart toilet, and a connecting wire 4 is provided on the side of the foot sensor 2 away from the fixing component. The connecting wire 4 is used for communication connection with the control component inside the smart toilet. In this embodiment, the smart toilet foot sensor switch installation structure is located inside the toilet, making it a built-in foot sensor switch. The foot sensor 2 is connected to the control component inside the smart toilet via the connecting wire 4. The control component is the host unit that controls the operation of the smart toilet. This host unit can control the toilet to perform actions such as opening the lid, opening the seat, and flushing through the smart toilet's program settings. It is understood that the programs for controlling the toilet lid opening, opening the seat, and flushing via the foot sensor 2 can all refer to existing programs and do not require additional design. In some other embodiments, the fixing component and the foot sensor 2 can also be fixed to the outer wall of the smart toilet as an external foot sensor switch; this is not limited here.

[0029] Specifically, in this embodiment, the fixing component includes a fixing frame 1 and an adhesive surface disposed on the side of the fixing frame 1 near the smart toilet. The fixing component is fixed to the inner wall of the toilet by adhesive bonding, which avoids damaging the overall structure of the toilet by means of screw connection, thereby reducing the risk of damage or breakage of the toilet after installation. When the foot sensor 2 is inspected, the fixing frame 1 always remains in an adhesive state with the toilet wall. It is only necessary to unscrew the foot sensor 2 for repair or replacement and then reassemble it on the fixing frame 1 to ensure the adhesion of the adhesive surface. In some other embodiments, the fixing frame 1 can also be connected to the toilet wall by snap-fit ​​or other connection methods, which are not limited here. Preferably, the arc-shaped guide groove 12 is opened in the circumference of the fixing frame 1, and there are two arc-shaped guide grooves 12. The end of each arc-shaped guide groove 12 is provided with a snap-fit ​​protrusion 13. The second abutment surface on the foot sensor 2 is disposed at the snap-fit ​​member 21 corresponding to the position of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 13. More preferably, the snap-fit ​​member 21 is an L-shaped structural member. In some other embodiments, the snap-fit ​​member 21 may also be other structural members including snap-fit ​​grooves that mate with the snap-fit ​​protrusion 13, which are not limited here.

[0030] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the fixing component includes an adhesive body 3. The fixing frame 1 has a receiving groove 11. The adhesive body 3 is embedded in the receiving groove 11, and the side of the adhesive body 3 away from the fixing frame 1 forms an adhesive surface. The adhesive body 3 is entirely a viscous substance, so it can be used as double-sided adhesive, with both sides respectively bonding the fixing frame 1 and the inner wall of the toilet to achieve the installation of the fixing frame 1. The receiving groove 11 can limit the adhesive body 3 located therein, ensuring that the adhesive body 3 will not shift during bonding, thereby ensuring the bonding stability between the fixing frame 1 and the toilet wall. It is understood that the type and size of the adhesive body 3 can be set according to actual needs, and are not limited here.

[0031] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the mounting bracket 1 is made of ceramic material. The ceramic mounting bracket 1 has good hardness and structural stability, which can ensure the installation stability of the foot sensor 2, and has high corrosion resistance, thus making it well-suited for bathroom environments.

[0032] Specifically, the installation steps for the above-mentioned smart toilet foot-sensor switch installation structure are as follows: S1: After positioning, the operator will attach the ceramic mounting bracket 1 to the inner wall of the smart toilet. S2: Rotate and snap the foot sensor 2 onto the fixing frame 1 to complete the installation of the foot sensor 2; S3: Connect cable 4 to the main unit inside the smart toilet.

[0033] S1 and S2 are interchangeable in terms of steps, that is, first install the foot sensor 2 on the ceramic mounting bracket 1, and then attach the ceramic mounting bracket 1 to the inner wall of the toilet.

[0034] Specifically, this embodiment provides a smart toilet, including a toilet body and the aforementioned smart toilet foot sensor switch mounting structure, which is installed on the toilet body. The smart toilet with this mounting structure facilitates the installation, repair, and replacement of the foot sensor 2, reducing maintenance costs during use.

[0035] 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 various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments 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.
