Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom product technology, specifically to a fast-heating toilet seat and a toilet. Background Technology

[0002] To avoid the discomfort caused by a cold toilet seat, the traditional solution is to cover the seat with a cushion. However, cushions are usually made of fabric, which can easily breed bacteria and is detrimental to health. Therefore, more and more toilets are adopting heating structures in the seat to improve the user experience. For example, Chinese patent CN221013086U discloses a toilet seat with uniform heating. The seat has a heating tube, a spiral tube, and a liquid outlet tube. The heating tube heats the liquid in the spiral tube, and the liquid outlet tube is connected to the spiral tube and is evenly distributed along the seat. Heat is transferred to the seat by heating the liquid, thus ensuring that the seat is at a comfortable temperature. In this type of solution, the heating method of heating the liquid and then transferring the heat to the seat is inefficient. It cannot heat the seat to a comfortable temperature in a short time and needs to be kept warm, resulting in wasted resources. At the same time, the numerous pipes are inconvenient to install, and the pipes are relatively large, affecting the thickness of the seat and reducing the aesthetics of the toilet. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model discloses a fast-heating seat ring, which aims to improve the problems of low heating efficiency and large size of existing seat ring heating structures that affect aesthetics.

[0004] The present invention adopts the following solution: A fast-heating seat ring includes a panel, a base plate, and a heating structure. The base plate is mounted or formed on the bottom of the panel. The heating structure includes a flexible heating film and a control component electrically connected to the flexible heating film. The flexible heating film is adhered to the bottom surface of the panel or embedded inside the panel. The control component is located between the panel and the base plate and is used to control the opening and closing of the flexible heating film.

[0005] As a further improvement, the flexible heating film is an FPC heating film with a thickness of 0.2-0.3 mm.

[0006] As a further improvement, the flexible heating film is similar in shape to the panel and is evenly laid on the bottom surface of the panel.

[0007] As a further improvement, the panel is made of a thermally conductive material.

[0008] As a further improvement, the flexible heating film is configured to be placed close to the top of the panel during panel forming.

[0009] As a further improvement, the control unit includes a microcontroller and a temperature sensor electrically connected to the microcontroller, the temperature sensor being used to detect the temperature of the panel.

[0010] As a further improvement, the control unit also includes a pressure sensor electrically connected to the microcontroller, the pressure sensor being used to detect the pressure applied to the panel.

[0011] As a further improvement, the flexible heating film and the temperature sensor are arranged in layers.

[0012] As a further improvement, the flexible heating film and the temperature sensor are arranged in a staggered manner on the same layer.

[0013] Another toilet is provided, characterized in that it includes a toilet seat and a quick-heating seat ring as described in any of the preceding claims, disposed on the toilet seat, wherein a control element on the seat ring is electrically connected to a control panel disposed on the toilet seat.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention can achieve the following technical effects: This application involves placing a flexible heating film on the panel and controlling its heating via a control unit to transfer heat to the panel, maintaining a comfortable temperature. Directly heating the flexible heating film improves heating efficiency and reduces energy consumption. Compared to existing technologies that use water pipes for heat transfer, the flexible heating film heats up much faster, quickly raising the panel temperature to the preset level without the need for insulation, making it more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, and beneficial for users. Furthermore, the flexible heating film's better conformability allows for better adhesion to the panel, improving thermal conductivity and further accelerating the temperature rise. In addition, the flexible heating film is thinner than the water pipe, ensuring sufficient thickness for the toilet seat and enhancing its aesthetics. Attached Figure Description

The terms “first,” “second,” etc., are only used to distinguish different objects and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or the quantity, specific order, or primary or secondary relationship of the indicated technical features. The term “several” means one or more, and “multiple” means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified. Example

[0020] Combination Figures 1 to 9This embodiment provides a fast-heating seat ring, including a panel 1, a base plate 2, and a heating structure. The base plate 2 is mounted or formed on the bottom of the panel 1. The heating structure includes a flexible heating film 3 and a control component 4 electrically connected to the flexible heating film 3. The flexible heating film 3 is adhered to the bottom surface of the panel 1 or embedded inside the panel 1. The control component 4 is located between the panel 1 and the base plate 2 and is used to control the opening and closing of the flexible heating film 3. The panel 1 and the base plate 2 can be connected by secondary injection molding, welding, or snap-fit ​​structures, without specific limitations.

[0021] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the flexible heating film 3 is placed on the panel 1, and the heating of the flexible heating film 3 is controlled by the control component 4 to transfer heat to the panel 1, so that the panel 1 can be at a comfortable temperature. Directly heating the flexible heating film 3 can improve heating efficiency and reduce energy consumption. Compared with the existing technology of heat transfer through water pipes, the flexible heating film 3 heats up faster, quickly raising the temperature of the panel 1 to the preset temperature without the need for insulation, making it more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, and beneficial to users. At the same time, the flexible heating film 3 has better conformability, allowing it to better fit the panel 1, improving thermal conductivity and further accelerating the temperature rise of the panel 1. Furthermore, the thickness of the flexible heating film 3 is less than the thickness of the water pipe, ensuring the thickness of the seat ring and improving the aesthetics of the toilet.

[0022] In one embodiment, the flexible heating film 3 is an FPC heating film with a thickness of 0.2-0.3 mm. A conductive polymer or metal foil is used as the heating element. When current passes through, the material's resistance converts electrical energy into heat energy, causing the surface temperature to rise. The thinness of the flexible heating film 3 allows for better adaptation to different seat rings. Preferably, the flexible heating film 3 is similar in shape to the panel 1 and is evenly laid on the bottom surface of the panel 1. Double-sided adhesive can be used to attach the flexible heating film 3 to the bottom surface of the panel 1. The shape of the flexible heating film 3 can be set as a sheet according to the shape of the panel 1, which is more conducive to assembly. Furthermore, the large heating area and uniform heating further improve the heating speed. The manufacturing process of the FPC flexible heating film 3 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0023] In another embodiment, the flexible heating film 3 is configured to be inserted close to the top of the panel 1 during molding. The flexible heating film 3 is placed within the mold forming the panel 1 so that it is integrally formed with the panel 1, thereby fixing the flexible heating film 3 and allowing it to be close to the top of the panel 1, enabling the upper surface of the panel 1 to be heated more quickly. The mold structure used to achieve the integral molding of the flexible heating film 3 with the injection molded part is prior art and will not be described further here.

[0024] Furthermore, the material of panel 1 includes thermally conductive materials. Panel 1 can be made of ABS, PE, PP, etc., with the addition of materials with high thermal conductivity such as graphene and magnesium oxide to improve the thermal conductivity of panel 1 and ensure the rapid heating function of the seat ring.

[0025] Based on the above embodiments, in an optional embodiment of this utility model, the control component 4 includes a microcontroller 41 and a temperature sensor 42 electrically connected to the microcontroller 41. The temperature sensor 42 is used to detect the temperature of the panel 1 so that the panel 1 can be kept at a comfortable temperature, avoiding excessively high temperatures that would cause a poor user experience. The circuit structure and principle between the temperature sensor 42 and the microcontroller 41 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. Preferably, refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 3 The heating film 3 and the temperature sensor 42 are arranged in layers to maximize the coverage area of ​​the flexible heating film 3 and improve the heating effect. (Refer to...) Figure 8 In other embodiments, the flexible heating film 3 and the temperature sensor 42 can be arranged in the same layer but offset to reduce the thickness of the panel 1, so that the panel 1 can be made thinner to fit different toilet appearances.

[0026] In another embodiment, the control unit 4 further includes a pressure sensor 43 electrically connected to the microcontroller 41, which is used to detect the pressure on the panel 1. For example, when a user sits on the cushion, if the pressure detected by the pressure sensor 43 is greater than a preset threshold, the flexible heating film 3 starts to heat up; when the user gets up, if the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor 43 is less than the preset threshold within a set time, the flexible heating film 3 stops heating to reduce resource waste. This is not limited to this embodiment and is not specifically limited to it.

[0027] This utility model also provides a toilet, including a toilet seat and a quick-heating seat ring as described in any of the above embodiments, disposed on the toilet seat. The control element 4 on the seat ring is electrically connected to the control panel 1 provided on the toilet seat. For example, the control panel is provided with multiple buttons, and the user can control the opening and closing of the flexible heating film 3, the heating time, the heating temperature, etc. by pressing the buttons on the control panel 1.

[0028] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions that fall within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected by this utility model.
