Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] A smart toilet is a modern sanitary ware that integrates electronic control, warm water washing, seat heating, and warm air drying functions. It improves the comfort and hygiene of toilet use through intelligent technology. Its core functions typically include automatic flushing, water temperature adjustment, and seat temperature control, among which seat heating is one of the key technologies affecting user experience.

[0003] Traditional smart toilets typically use electric heating wires or semiconductor heating elements to heat the seat, which can lead to uneven heating, high energy consumption, and safety hazards. For example, linearly arranged heating wires can cause localized overheating, which may accelerate material aging and increase the risk of short circuits with long-term use; while PTC heating has a slow response and cannot quickly reach a comfortable temperature.

[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 drying device, a smart toilet seat, and a smart toilet to address the above problems.

[0006] This application provides a drying apparatus, which includes:

[0007] A housing assembly having an air duct and an air inlet and an air outlet communicating with the air duct; and

[0008] A light-emitting component is disposed at the air outlet and is capable of emitting infrared rays.

[0009] The aforementioned drying device can be applied to smart toilets, and it can achieve at least the following beneficial effects: The drying device provided in this application integrates an infrared light-emitting component into the air outlet of the air duct, realizing the synergistic effect of airflow drying and infrared radiation heating. Infrared rays can directly irradiate human body parts such as buttocks and genitals. Infrared rays have penetrability, which can promote deep drying, accelerate moisture evaporation, and make the human body feel warm. At the same time, the hot airflow carries away the evaporated water vapor. The combination of the two not only significantly improves the drying efficiency, but is also particularly suitable for the rapid and comfortable drying of human private parts. It can also solve the problems of slow speed and high energy consumption of the traditional single hot air drying method. It can also avoid the cold discomfort of the user's exposed skin parts and solve the problem of physical discomfort caused by temperature drop when using the toilet in cold seasons.

[0010] In some embodiments, the housing assembly includes a housing and a guide member disposed on the housing and capable of telescopic movement relative to the housing. The housing forms the air duct and an air inlet communicating with the air duct. The guide member is hollow and forms a guide channel. One end of the guide channel communicates with the air duct, and the other end of the guide channel forms the air outlet. The light-emitting component is disposed at the end of the guide member near the air outlet. By providing a telescopic guide member inside the housing, the air outlet position of the guide channel can be flexibly adjusted according to usage requirements, thereby more precisely controlling the infrared irradiation angle and airflow direction. The telescopic structure design of the guide member not only optimizes the adjustability of the drying range but also reduces the device volume during storage, improving space utilization. The layout, with the light-emitting component directly positioned at the air outlet at the end of the air guide, ensures optimal synergy between infrared radiation and hot airflow. This allows infrared rays to reach the body directly over the shortest distance, minimizing energy loss. Simultaneously, the retractable air guide can be fine-tuned to suit different user body types and habits, further enhancing drying comfort and energy efficiency. This structural design is particularly suitable for bathroom products with strict space requirements, such as smart toilets, ensuring efficient drying performance while maintaining aesthetics and practicality.

[0011] In some embodiments, the light-emitting component includes a base and a light-emitting element disposed on the base, with the base detachably connected to one end of the flow guide. This design allows the light-emitting component to be independently disassembled for maintenance or replacement. The base can be fixed to the flow guide via detachable connections such as snaps, threads, or magnetic adsorption, ensuring a stable connection without affecting the flow guide's expansion and contraction function, and the light-emitting component can expand and contract with the flow guide. When the light-emitting element suffers light decay or damage due to long-term use, it can be quickly disassembled and replaced to reduce maintenance costs. The modular design also allows for flexible adjustment of the power or spectral characteristics of the light-emitting element according to different needs, improving the product's adaptability and scalability.

[0012] In some embodiments, the base has a mounting groove, and the light-emitting element is embedded in the mounting groove. The size of the mounting groove can be matched with the light-emitting element to ensure accurate positioning, and a heat-conducting layer can be provided on the inner wall of the mounting groove to improve heat dissipation efficiency. The light-emitting element can be fixed in the mounting groove by snap-fit, adhesive, or screw fixing. An elastic buffer pad can be provided at the bottom of the mounting groove to reduce the impact of vibration on the light-emitting element.

[0013] In some embodiments, the light-emitting component further includes a transparent cover plate, which covers the mounting groove and shields the light-emitting element. The transparent cover plate can be made of a material with high light transmittance and high temperature resistance, such as transparent glass or a transparent plastic cover plate, to ensure uniform light transmission. The edge of the transparent cover plate can be reliably connected to the opening of the mounting groove by means of snaps, threads, or sealant. The inner surface of the transparent cover plate can be provided with an anti-fog coating to prevent water vapor condensation caused by temperature differences from affecting the light transmission effect. The outer surface of the transparent cover plate can be provided with a wear-resistant layer to improve scratch resistance and extend service life. A waterproof sealing structure (such as a sealing ring) can be provided between the transparent cover plate and the mounting groove to prevent liquid from seeping into the mounting groove.

[0014] In some embodiments, the light-emitting element includes at least one of an infrared lamp and an ultraviolet lamp. The type of light source can be flexibly selected according to different application scenarios to meet specific needs. Infrared lamps can be used for heating applications, while ultraviolet lamps can be used for sterilization or fluorescence detection. The light-emitting element can be configured with either an infrared lamp or an ultraviolet lamp separately, or it can integrate both light sources simultaneously to expand its functional range. The light-emitting element adopts a modular design, facilitating the replacement of different types of light sources according to actual needs. The power supply circuit of the light-emitting element can be equipped with a dimming function to adjust the irradiation intensity of the infrared lamp or the ultraviolet lamp.

[0015] In some embodiments, the drying device further includes a control board and wires. One end of the wires is electrically connected to the control board, and the other end is electrically connected to the light-emitting element. The control board can be used to adjust the power, operating mode, and start / stop status of the light-emitting element. It can also integrate a temperature sensor to monitor the operating temperature of the light-emitting element in real time and automatically adjust the power to prevent overheating. The wires are wrapped with high-temperature resistant insulating material to ensure long-term stable operation, and a waterproof sealing structure is provided at the connection between the wires and the light-emitting element to prevent the humid environment from affecting the electrical performance. In addition, the wiring path of the wires can be equipped with fixing clips or sleeves to prevent movement or vibration from causing the wiring to loosen or wear.

[0016] In some embodiments, the drying device further includes a heating component disposed within the air duct, which heats the air. The heating component may include, but is not limited to, at least one of a heating wire, a PTC heating element, or a ceramic heater to increase the air temperature. This accelerates drying efficiency and prevents the airflow from becoming too cold, causing discomfort to the user. The heating component may also be electrically connected to a control board, which intelligently adjusts the heating power to coordinate with the light-emitting component, achieving optimized temperature and light output. A guide structure may be installed within the air duct to ensure even distribution of hot air and prevent localized overheating.

[0017] In some embodiments, the drying device further includes a drive component disposed on the outer shell. The drive component is connected to the air guide and can drive the air guide to extend and retract relative to the outer shell. The drive component can be a motor, cylinder, or linear module, transmitting power to the air guide via gear transmission, linkage mechanism, or lead screw structure. The extension and retraction of the air guide can adjust the airflow direction or coverage area within the duct to adapt to different drying requirements. The drive component is signal-connected to a control board, which intelligently controls the extension stroke and speed according to the operating mode. A sealing ring or slide rail structure can be installed at the contact point between the air guide and the outer shell to ensure smooth movement while maintaining the airtightness of the duct. Furthermore, the drive component can also integrate a position sensor to provide real-time feedback on the air guide's status for precise control.

[0018] In some embodiments, the driving component includes a motor disposed on the housing and a gear module that is pulsatorically connected to the drive shaft of the motor. A transmission track adapted to the gear module is formed on the outer surface of the guide component. The gear module meshes with the transmission track to drive the guide component to perform telescopic movement relative to the housing.

[0019] In some embodiments, the drive element includes an electric push rod and a transmission element disposed on the housing, wherein the electric push rod is connected to the guide element through the transmission element to drive the guide element to perform telescopic movement relative to the housing.

[0020] In some embodiments, the driving member includes a motor disposed on the housing and a threaded transmission rod connected to the drive shaft of the motor. The threaded transmission rod passes through the guide member and is threadedly driven to drive the guide member to perform telescopic movement relative to the housing.
