Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Traditional toilets typically use elevated water tanks or gravity flushing systems, relying on the water level difference within the tank to generate potential energy and complete waste removal through the siphon effect. However, this flushing method has relatively low water pressure, which limits the flushing effect, especially when dealing with stubborn dirt or water-saving needs. It can easily lead to residue or require multiple flushes, affecting user experience and environmental performance.

[0003] To improve flushing efficiency, modern smart toilets generally use high-lift water pumps instead of traditional tanks. This enhances the siphon effect through pressurized water flow, achieving a fast and thorough flush. However, while generating high-pressure water flow, the high-lift pump also rapidly compresses air within the pipes, causing it to be violently expelled from the nozzle or drain outlet, producing a noticeable popping sound. This not only affects user comfort but may also raise concerns about hygiene and product quality.

[0004] The above information disclosed in the background art 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 smart toilet to address the above problems.

[0006] This application provides a smart toilet, which includes:

[0007] Toilet seat, wherein a toilet bowl and a siphon channel connected to the toilet bowl are formed inside the toilet seat;

[0008] A flushing pipe, the first end of which is connected to the toilet bowl;

[0009] A water pump, wherein the water pump is connected to the second end of the flushing pipe;

[0010] An air pump and an air extraction pipe are provided. One end of the air extraction pipe is connected to the air pump, and the other end of the air extraction pipe extends into the second end and is higher than the water surface inside the second end. The water surface of the second end is level with the water surface of the toilet bowl. When the water pump flushes the flushing pipe, the air pump can extract the gas above the water surface in the flushing pipe through the air extraction pipe.

[0011] The aforementioned smart toilet can achieve at least the following beneficial effects: The smart toilet provided in this application innovatively adopts a combination design of an air pump and an air extraction pipe. The air extraction pipe actively extracts the air above the water surface in the flushing pipe, precisely coordinating with the flushing action of the water pump. When the water pump delivers high-pressure water to the flushing pipe, the air pump works synchronously, continuously sucking the air accumulated on the water surface at the second end of the flushing pipe through the air extraction pipe, effectively avoiding the explosive noise problem caused by the rapid compression of air by the high-pressure water flow.

[0012] In some embodiments, the smart toilet further includes a connector assembly. One end of the connector assembly is connected to the water pump, and the other end is connected to the second end of the flushing pipe. An air extraction pipe passes through the connector assembly, and the air pump is located outside the connector assembly. This connector assembly ensures a reliable connection between the water pump and the flushing pipe. With one end connected to the water pump and the other end connected to the second end of the flushing pipe, the air extraction pipe runs inside the connector assembly, and the air pump is located outside. This structural design ensures precise connection between the air extraction pipe and the flushing pipe, guaranteeing effective air extraction, while also allowing for independent maintenance of the air pump.

[0013] In some embodiments, the connector assembly includes a first pipe body and a second pipe body, one end of the first pipe body is connected to the water pump, the other end of the first pipe body is connected to one end of the second pipe body, the other end of the second pipe body is connected to the second end of the flushing pipe, and the air extraction pipe passes through the second pipe body.

[0014] In some embodiments, the first and second pipe bodies are detachably connected or integrally formed. This detachable or integral design provides flexible structural configuration options. A detachable connection allows for individual replacement of either the first or second pipe body, reducing maintenance costs. An integral structure reduces connection points, improving pipe sealing and structural strength. Both implementations ensure the continuity of the water flow channel while maintaining reliable connections to the water pump and flushing pipe joints, thus adapting to different installation environments and usage requirements.

[0015] In some embodiments, the second end of the flushing pipe is provided with a connector, the connector having an insertion hole, and one end of the second pipe body is detachably and sealingly inserted into the insertion hole. By providing a connector with an insertion hole at the second end of the flushing pipe, one end of the second pipe body can be detachably and sealingly inserted into the insertion hole. This structural design ensures both the convenience of quick assembly and disassembly between the flushing pipe and the second pipe body, and a reliable sealing connection is achieved through the insertion fit.

[0016] In some embodiments, the smart toilet further includes a sealing element that abuts against the outer wall of the second pipe and the wall of the insertion hole. By tightly abutting against the outer wall of the second pipe and the wall of the insertion hole, the sealing element effectively enhances the sealing performance of the water connection, preventing water leakage or the intrusion of external contaminants. Simultaneously, this sealing structure can adaptively compensate for assembly tolerances between the second pipe and the insertion hole during the insertion process, ensuring a stable sealing effect even after long-term use.

[0017] In some embodiments, a limiting groove is formed on the outer wall of the second tube, and the sealing element is embedded in the limiting groove. The limiting groove allows the sealing element to be accurately positioned and securely embedded in the outer wall of the second tube, preventing the sealing element from shifting or falling off during insertion and removal. At the same time, the structural design of the limiting groove ensures that the sealing element maintains a uniform sealing contact surface even when deformed under pressure, effectively improving the sealing reliability between the second tube and the insertion hole, and reducing the risk of sealing failure due to sealing element displacement. Thus, while simplifying the assembly process, it further optimizes the long-term sealing stability and maintenance convenience of the smart toilet water circuit system.

[0018] In some embodiments, a limiting groove is formed on the wall of the insertion hole, and the sealing element is embedded in the limiting groove. By forming a limiting groove on the wall of the insertion hole and embedding the sealing element therein, it is possible to ensure that the sealing element remains stably positioned during assembly, preventing displacement or detachment of the sealing element due to the insertion and removal of the second tube. This structural design allows the sealing element to uniformly conform to the outer wall of the second tube when under pressure, enhancing sealing reliability and reducing the risk of leakage caused by misalignment of the sealing element. In addition, the limiting groove facilitates the installation and replacement of the sealing element, further improving the assembly efficiency and long-term sealing performance of the smart toilet water system.

[0019] In some embodiments, the seal extends in an annular shape along the circumference of the second tube, and the limiting groove is adapted to the seal. The seal, with its annular structure, extends continuously along the circumference of the second tube, forming a tightly fitting sealing system with the limiting groove. This annular seal, through its uniform force distribution throughout the circumference, ensures a 360° uninterrupted seal between the second tube and the insertion hole, effectively preventing fluid leakage in all directions. The adapting limiting groove structure not only provides radial constraint on the seal, limiting its axial displacement, but also guides the seal to precise positioning during assembly.

[0020] In some embodiments, the seal is a sealing ring. The sealing ring is preferably made of water-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and highly elastic silicone or rubber to meet the long-term use requirements of the smart toilet in humid environments.

[0021] In some embodiments, both the number of sealing elements and the number of limiting grooves are set to multiple. The multiple sealing elements are distributed axially at intervals along the insertion hole, and each sealing element corresponds one-to-one with a limiting groove. By arranging multiple sealing elements and corresponding limiting grooves axially at intervals along the insertion hole, a multi-stage sealing structure is formed, significantly improving the leak-proof redundancy of the water connection. The axial distribution of multiple sealing elements can segmentally block fluid pressure; even if a single-point seal fails, the remaining sealing elements can still maintain an effective seal. Simultaneously, the one-to-one correspondence between the limiting grooves and the sealing elements ensures that each sealing element is independently positioned, avoiding mutual interference.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 5 In some embodiments, this application provides a smart toilet 10, which includes a toilet seat 100, a flushing pipe 200, a smart toilet lid 800, and a water pump 300, an air pump 400, and an air extraction pipe 500 disposed on the smart toilet lid 800. The toilet seat 100 has a toilet bowl 110 and a siphon channel 120 connected to the toilet bowl 110. The first end 210 of the flushing pipe 200 is connected to the toilet bowl 110. The water pump 300 is connected to the second end 220 of the flushing pipe 200. One end of the air extraction pipe 500 is connected to the air extraction pump 400. The other end of the air extraction pipe 500 extends into the second end 220 and is higher than the water surface W in the second end 220. The water surface W of the second end 220 is level with the water surface W of the toilet bowl 110. When the water pump 300 flushes water into the flushing pipe 200, the air extraction pump 400 can extract the gas above the water surface W in the flushing pipe 200 through the air extraction pipe 500.

[0032] The aforementioned smart toilet 10 can achieve at least the following beneficial effects: The smart toilet 10 provided in this application innovatively adopts a combination design of an air pump 400 and an air extraction pipe 500. The air extraction pipe 500 actively extracts the air above the water surface W in the flushing pipe 200, precisely coordinating with the flushing action of the water pump 300. When the water pump 300 delivers high-pressure water to the flushing pipe 200, the air pump 400 works synchronously, continuously extracting the air accumulated on the water surface W in the second end 220 of the flushing pipe 200 through the air extraction pipe 500, effectively avoiding the explosion noise problem caused by the rapid compression of air by the high-pressure water flow.

[0033] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the smart toilet 10 further includes a connector assembly 600. One end of the connector assembly 600 is connected to the water pump 300, and the other end is connected to the second end 220 of the flushing pipe 200. The air extraction pipe 500 passes through the connector assembly 600, and the air extraction pump 400 is located outside the connector assembly 600. The connector assembly 600 ensures a reliable connection between the water pump 300 and the flushing pipe 200. With one end connected to the water pump 300 and the other end connected to the second end 220 of the flushing pipe 200, the air extraction pipe 500 passes inside the connector assembly 600, and the air extraction pump 400 is located outside the connector assembly 600. This structural design ensures precise connection between the air extraction pipe 500 and the flushing pipe 200, guaranteeing effective air extraction, while also allowing the air extraction pump 400 to be independently installed for easy maintenance.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the connector assembly 600 includes a first pipe body 610 and a second pipe body 620. One end of the first pipe body 610 is connected to the water pump 300, and the other end of the first pipe body 610 is connected to one end of the second pipe body 620. The other end of the second pipe body 620 is connected to the second end 220 of the flushing pipe 200, and the air extraction pipe 500 passes through the second pipe body 620.

[0035] In some embodiments, the first pipe body 610 and the second pipe body 620 are detachably connected or integrally formed. This detachable connection or integral forming design provides a flexible structural configuration. When detachable, it facilitates individual replacement of either the first pipe body 610 or the second pipe body 620, reducing maintenance costs. The integral forming structure reduces connection points, improving pipe sealing and structural strength. Both embodiments ensure the continuity of the water flow channel while maintaining reliable connection with the water pump 300 and the flushing pipe 200 connector 230, thus adapting to different installation environments and usage requirements.

[0036] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the second end 220 of the flush pipe 200 is provided with a connector 230, and the connector 230 is provided with a socket 231. One end of the second pipe body 620 is detachably and sealedly inserted into the socket 231. By providing a connector 230 with a socket 231 at the second end 220 of the flush pipe 200, one end of the second pipe body 620 can be detachably and sealedly inserted into the socket 231. This structural design ensures both the convenience of quick assembly and disassembly between the flush pipe 200 and the second pipe body 620, and a reliable sealed connection is achieved through the plug-in fit.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the smart toilet 10 further includes a sealing element 700, which is sealed against the outer wall of the second pipe body 620 and the wall of the insertion hole 231. By tightly abutting against the outer wall of the second pipe body 620 and the wall of the insertion hole 231, the sealing element 700 effectively enhances the sealing performance of the water connection, preventing water leakage or intrusion of external contaminants. Simultaneously, this sealing structure can adaptively compensate for the assembly tolerances between the second pipe body 620 and the insertion hole 231 during the insertion process, ensuring a stable sealing effect even after long-term use.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, a limiting groove 621 is formed on the outer wall of the second tube body 620, and the sealing element 700 is embedded in the limiting groove 621. The limiting groove 621 enables the sealing element 700 to be accurately positioned and securely embedded in the outer wall of the second tube body 620, preventing the sealing element 700 from shifting or falling off during insertion and removal. At the same time, the structural design of the limiting groove 621 ensures that the sealing element 700 can maintain a uniform sealing contact surface even when deformed under pressure, effectively improving the sealing reliability between the second tube body 620 and the insertion hole 231, and reducing the risk of sealing failure caused by the displacement of the sealing element 700. Thus, while simplifying the assembly process, it further optimizes the long-term sealing stability and maintenance convenience of the smart toilet 10 water system.

[0039] In other embodiments, a limiting groove 621 is formed on the wall of the insertion hole 231, and the sealing element 700 is embedded in the limiting groove 621. By forming a limiting groove 621 on the wall of the insertion hole 231 and embedding the sealing element 700 therein, it is possible to ensure that the sealing element 700 remains stably positioned during assembly, avoiding displacement or detachment of the sealing element 700 due to the insertion and removal of the second tube body 620. This structural design allows the sealing element 700 to uniformly conform to the outer wall of the second tube body 620 when under pressure, enhancing sealing reliability and reducing the risk of leakage caused by misalignment of the sealing element 700. In addition, the setting of the limiting groove 621 facilitates the installation and replacement of the sealing element 700, further improving the assembly efficiency and long-term sealing performance of the smart toilet 10 water system.

[0040] In some embodiments, the seal 700 extends circumferentially along the second tube 620 in an annular shape, and the limiting groove 621 is adapted to the seal 700. The seal 700, with its annular structure, extends continuously circumferentially along the second tube 620, forming a tightly fitting sealing system with the limiting groove 621. This annular seal 700, through its uniform force distribution throughout the circumference, ensures a 360° uninterrupted seal between the second tube 620 and the insertion hole 231, effectively preventing fluid leakage in all directions. The adapting limiting groove 621 structure not only provides radial constraint to the seal 700, limiting its axial displacement, but also guides the seal 700 to precise positioning during assembly.

[0041] In some embodiments, the seal 700 is a sealing ring. The sealing ring is preferably made of water-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and highly elastic silicone or rubber to meet the long-term use requirements of the smart toilet 10 in humid environments.

[0042] In some embodiments, both the number of sealing elements 700 and the number of limiting grooves 621 are multiple. The multiple sealing elements 700 are distributed axially at intervals along the insertion hole 231, with each sealing element 700 corresponding to a one-to-one limiting groove 621. By axially arranging multiple sealing elements 700 and corresponding limiting grooves 621 along the insertion hole 231, a multi-stage sealing structure is formed, significantly improving the leak-proof redundancy of the water connection. The axial distribution of the multiple sealing elements 700 can segmentally block fluid pressure; even if a single point of seal fails, the remaining sealing elements 700 can still maintain an effective seal. Simultaneously, the one-to-one correspondence between the limiting grooves 621 and the sealing elements 700 ensures that each sealing element 700 is independently positioned, avoiding mutual interference.
