Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smart toilet technology, and more specifically to a sterilization and foaming system for a smart toilet and a smart toilet. Background Technology

[0002] Existing toilets with cleaning and sterilization functions mainly use the following sterilization methods: ultraviolet (UV) sterilization, ion sterilization, and electrolyzed water sterilization. UV and ion sterilization kill bacteria by generating ultraviolet light or plasma through a medium to destroy the molecular structure of bacteria. Electrolyzed water sterilization kills bacteria by generating strong oxidizing substances such as hypochlorous acid from the electrolysis of chloride ions in water, thus oxidizing bacterial proteins. Additionally, toilets with a foam shield function use foaming agents, which typically contain bactericides. Therefore, when the foam shield is used, the foam penetrates the ceramic surface of the toilet bowl, sterilizing the ceramic as well.

[0003] However, the sterilization solutions of toilets currently on the market that claim to have sterilization effects have the following drawbacks:

[0004] 1. During ultraviolet sterilization and ion sterilization, the human body is easily exposed to ultraviolet rays or plasma, which can harm human health.

[0005] 2. Electrolyzed water sterilization: Because toilet ceramics have a slope, when electrolyzed water is sprayed at the high point of the ceramic, it will flow downwards to the water seal due to gravity, resulting in different sterilization rates at the high and low points of the ceramic. On the other hand, because electrolyzed water sterilization requires the use of chloride ions from residual bleach in the water, the sterilization rate of electrolyzed water sterilization will vary in different regions. These two differences in sterilization rates greatly affect the user experience.

[0006] 3. Foam shield sterilization utilizes the bactericide components in foam. Because the amount of foam used per application is relatively small, the bactericide in the foam is diluted, thus affecting the sterilization rate. In order to achieve a better sterilization effect on the toilet, users will use a significantly larger amount of foam, increasing the cost of use. In addition, users usually need to manually add foam after the foam is used up, which indirectly increases the probability of users coming into contact with the bactericide. Utility Model Content

[0007] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A sterilization and foaming system for a smart toilet, installed inside the toilet, includes a first water path, a second water path, and a third water path, as well as a confluence node and a foaming device. The first water path is used to transport foaming liquid to the confluence node, and the second water path is used to transport water to the confluence node. The confluence node is where the foaming liquid and water meet and form a mixture, which is then transported to the foaming device through the third water path. The system also includes an electrolysis device located at any position upstream of the outlet of the foaming device. When the sterilization and foaming system is working, the foaming device can discharge foam into the toilet bowl.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: the first water circuit includes a foaming liquid storage device and a delivery device connected to each other, the delivery device is connected to a confluence node, the electrolysis device is disposed between the foaming liquid storage device and the delivery device, or the electrolysis device is disposed between the delivery device and the confluence node, or the electrolysis device is disposed on the foaming liquid storage device, or the electrolysis device is disposed on the delivery device.

[0010] The present invention is further configured as follows: the first water circuit includes a foaming liquid storage device and a delivery device connected together; the second water circuit includes a water supply source and a delivery device connected together; the foaming liquid storage device, the delivery device, and the confluence node are integrated together and fixed in the cavity at the rear end of the toilet by a fixing member; the foaming device is fixed in the toilet seat body by a fixing member; the water supply source can be a toilet tank / municipal water pipe; the inlet of the confluence node is connected to the foaming liquid storage device and the toilet tank / municipal water pipe respectively through a water pipe; the electrolysis device includes an electrolysis inlet, an electrolysis outlet, and an electrolysis plate; the electrolysis inlet is connected to the outlet of the confluence node through a water pipe; and the electrolysis outlet is connected to the inlet of the foaming device.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that: the second water circuit includes a water supply source and a water conveying device connected together, the water conveying device is connected to a confluence node, the electrolysis device is located between the water supply source and the water conveying device, or the electrolysis device is located between the water conveying device and the confluence node, or the electrolysis device is located on the water conveying device; the water supply source is a toilet tank or a municipal water pipe.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that: the electrolysis device is disposed on the busbar node or the bubble outlet device, or the electrolysis device is disposed between the busbar node and the bubble outlet device.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that: the outlet of the foaming device is a foam outlet provided on the toilet; or, the toilet is provided with a clearance opening, and the outlet of the foaming device passes through the clearance opening and communicates with the inside of the toilet bowl.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that: the foaming device directly sprays foam that impacts the toilet bowl or the water seal position of the toilet bowl to form secondary foam.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that the foaming liquid includes a foaming agent and an effective electrolytic compound.

[0016] This utility model is further configured to include a control mechanism, a flip-top mechanism, and a rinsing device, wherein the sterilization foaming system, the flip-top mechanism, and the rinsing device are all electrically connected to the control mechanism.

[0017] This utility model also proposes an intelligent toilet, including the above-mentioned sterilization and foaming system.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following advantages:

[0019] 1. This utility model adds an electrolysis device, which is located at any position upstream of the outlet of the foaming device to form bactericidal foam. When the bactericidal foaming system is working, the foaming device can discharge the bactericidal foam into the toilet bowl to thoroughly clean and sterilize the ceramic surface of the toilet, and has a strong bactericidal, odor-proof and splash-proof effect.

[0020] 2. By electrolyzing the effective electrolytic compounds in the foaming liquid, foam with destructive components (such as hypochlorous acid) is generated. Because the foam floats on the water seal and stacks, and has adsorption properties, the foam can fully contact the ceramic surface, greatly enhancing the cleaning and sterilization efficiency of the toilet ceramic. Using an electrolysis device can solve the problems of poor sterilization effect and high cost of existing smart toilets. Users can control the strong sterilization and weak sterilization by controlling the opening time of the electrolysis device.

[0021] 3. Since the effective electrolytic compounds in the foaming liquid are harmless to the human body before electrolysis, users are prevented from coming into contact with the foaming liquid and being corroded when replenishing it; in addition, the foam with bactericidal effect produced is more stable than ultraviolet light or ions (for example, there is a risk that ultraviolet light may escape through the gaps in the product when sterilizing with ultraviolet light), which further avoids users coming into contact with substances with bactericidal effect.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can typically be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0028] A smart toilet with a sterilization and foaming system, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the system, installed inside the toilet, includes a first water path, a second water path, and a third water path, as well as a confluence node 1 and a foaming device 5.

When the sterilization foaming system is working, the foaming device 5 can discharge foam into the toilet bowl. In this embodiment, the confluence node 1 is specifically a mixing device.

[0029] In some embodiments, the foaming liquid includes a foaming agent and an effective electrolytic compound. By adding the effective electrolytic compound to the foaming agent, a foaming liquid that is harmless to the human body is formed. After the foaming liquid is mixed with water in the confluence node 1, the electrolysis device 7 electrolyzes the effective electrolytic compound dissolved in the water, thereby producing foam with functional components.

[0033] In some embodiments, the second water path includes a water supply source 6 and a water conveying device 4 connected together, with the water conveying device 4 connected to the confluence node 1. The water supply source 6 is connected to the water conveying device 4 via a water pipe, and the water conveying device 4 is then connected to the confluence node via a water pipe. The water conveying device 4 can be a pump or an electrically controlled valve, which pumps water from the water supply source 6 into the confluence node 1. In this embodiment, the water conveying device 4 is a liquid pump.

[0034] The electrolysis device 7 can also be installed in series between the water supply source 6 and the water conveying device 4, or the electrolysis device 7 can be installed in series between the water conveying device 4 and the confluence node 1, or the electrolysis device 7 can be installed on the water conveying device 4 in parallel; the water supply source 6 is a toilet tank or a municipal water pipe.

[0035] In some embodiments, the foaming liquid storage device 2, the delivery device 3, and the manifold 1 are integrated together and fixed in the cavity at the rear end of the toilet by fasteners. The foaming device 5 is fixed in the toilet seat by fasteners. The water source 6 can be a toilet tank / municipal water pipe. The inlet of the manifold 1 is connected to the foaming liquid storage device 2 and the toilet tank / municipal water pipe via water pipes. The electrolysis device 7 includes an electrolysis inlet, an electrolysis outlet, and an electrolysis plate. The electrolysis inlet is connected to the outlet of the manifold 1 via a water pipe, and the electrolysis outlet is connected to the inlet of the foaming device 5. In this embodiment, the water source 6 is a toilet tank.

[0036] In this embodiment, the foaming liquid storage device 2, the infusion device 3, the water infusion device 4, and the confluence node 1 are integrated together to form a foam shield device. The infusion device 3 and the water infusion device 4 supply water and foaming agent to the confluence node 1 to form a mixture. The foaming device 5 foams the mixture into foam and discharges it into the toilet bowl. In this embodiment, edible salt is added to the foaming agent to form a foaming liquid. The electrolysis device is located at the rear end of the foam shield device and is connected to the foaming device 5.

[0037] The third water path includes a connecting channel between the confluence node 1 and the foaming device 5. The outlet of the foaming device 5 is a foam outlet 10 located on the toilet; or, the toilet has a clearance opening through which the outlet of the foaming device 5 connects to the inside of the toilet bowl.

[0038] The electrolysis device 7 can also be installed in parallel on the busbar node 1 or the bubble outlet device 5, or the electrolysis device 7 can be installed in series between the busbar node 1 and the bubble outlet device 5.

[0039] In this embodiment, the electrolysis device 7 is specifically arranged in series on the connecting channel between the busbar node 1 and the bubble outlet device 5.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment also proposes a smart toilet, including a toilet body 8, a smart seat 9 installed on the toilet body 8, and a sterilization and foaming system of the smart toilet described above on the smart seat 9.

[0043] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0044] When the sterilization foaming system is activated, the foam shield device and the electrolysis device 7 are turned on simultaneously. The electrolysis device 7 electrolyzes the mixture formed by the foaming liquid and water, and the foaming device 5 foams the mixture and discharges the electrolyzed foam with sterilization function onto the ceramic surface of the toilet. After the sterilization foaming system is completed, the electrolysis device 7 will continue to operate for a period of time to electrolyze and sterilize the sterilization system pipes to prevent bacteria from growing in the sterilization system pipes. When the foam shield is used normally, the control mechanism can turn off the electrolysis device 7 to disable the strong sterilization function of the foam shield.

[0045] When the sterilization foaming system is activated, the control mechanism first controls the lid mechanism to close the lid to prevent human contact with the sterilizing foam under special circumstances (referring to user contact with the foam); after the control mechanism senses that the lid is closed, it then activates the foam shield device and electrolysis device 7, and the foaming device 5 to foam the ceramic surface of the toilet (one or multiple times) until the foam covers the entire ceramic surface; after a period of stillness (i.e., after the foam has completely sterilized the ceramic surface), the control mechanism controls the flushing device to flush and drain the toilet ceramic surface, completely expelling the sterilizing foam.
