[0017] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0018] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some specific embodiments of this utility model, a sealing mechanism 100 is provided, which can be installed on the smart toilet to seal such as the spray gun outlet and the drying outlet, thereby improving the waterproof capability of the smart toilet, preventing splashing water and dirt from entering, and allowing users to directly flush with high-pressure water without worrying about water entering the toilet, resulting in a better user experience.

[0019] refer to Figure 3-5 In some specific embodiments of this utility model, the sealing mechanism 100 includes a functional outlet 130, a sealing component 110, and a driving component 120.

[0020] Functional outlet 130 is connected to functional channel 210 on the toilet. Functional channel 210 can be a cleaning channel for the extension and retraction of the spray gun, or a drying channel for airflow output. The spray gun or airflow can be output to the pelvic cavity of the toilet through functional outlet 130 for user use.

[0021] The sealing assembly 110 is movably disposed in the function outlet 130 and has a first position with the function outlet 130 open and a second position with the function outlet 130 closed. The spray gun function or drying function in the function channel 210 can only be used when the sealing assembly 110 is in the first position. When the sealing assembly 110 is in the second position, the above functions cannot be used. The outer peripheral wall of the sealing assembly 110 and the inner peripheral wall of the function outlet 130 are interference fit. Therefore, the sealing assembly 110 can effectively prevent water from entering the function channel 210 from the function outlet 130, and avoid water entering and affecting the internal mechanism of the toilet.

[0022] The drive assembly 120 is driven to move the sealing assembly 110. When the drive assembly 120 moves, it can drive the sealing assembly 110 to move, so that the sealing assembly 110 switches between a first position and a second position.

[0023] According to the sealing mechanism 100 provided in this embodiment of the present invention, the sealing component 110 and the functional outlet 130 are interference-fitted. When the sealing component 110 closes the functional outlet 130, there is no gap between them, thereby preventing water from entering the functional channel 210 and the inside of the toilet, affecting the internal electrical components. Furthermore, to avoid the interference fit design causing the sealing component 110 to get stuck or even difficult to embed into the functional outlet 130 when switching from the first position to the second position, this embodiment also provides a driving component 120 to provide additional force to the sealing component 110, ensuring that it can switch to the second position even under the interference fit design, thereby completing the sealing.

[0024] It should be noted that the location of the drive component 120 can be in various ways. For example, the drive component 120 can be located outside the function outlet 130 or inside the function outlet 130, that is, inside the function channel 210. No specific limitation is made here.

[0025] It is understood that the functional outlet 130 can be an opening provided on a separate structural component, which is mounted on the toilet so that the functional outlet 130 communicates with the functional passage 210 on the toilet. Alternatively, the functional outlet 130 can be provided directly on the toilet, with the functional passage 210 on the toilet communicating with the functional outlet 310. No specific limitation is made here.

[0026] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, there is no interconnection between the sealing component 110 and the functional outlet 130. That is, the two are independent of each other. The sealing component 110 is driven to move only by the driving component 120. When the sealing component 110 is in the second position, the sealing component 110 is embedded in the functional outlet 130 to achieve sealing. When the sealing component 110 is in the first position, the sealing component 110 and the functional outlet 130 are completely separated to open the functional outlet 130.

[0027] In some embodiments of this utility model, a first rotating shaft 1111 is provided on one of the sidewall of the functional outlet 130 and the sealing assembly 110, and a first shaft hole 131 is provided on the other. The first rotating shaft 1111 is rotatably disposed in the first shaft hole 131. (See reference) Figure 7 and Figure 8 Taking the example of a first shaft hole 131 provided on the side wall of the functional outlet 130 and a first rotating shaft 1111 provided on the sealing assembly 110, it can be understood that the first rotating shaft 1111 is provided on one side of the sealing assembly 110, corresponding to the first shaft hole 131 on the functional outlet 130. Therefore, when the driving assembly 120 drives the sealing assembly 110, the sealing assembly 110 can rotate around the first shaft hole 131, thereby continuously switching between a first position and a second position.

[0028] It is understandable that the first shaft hole 131 can be set on any side wall of the functional outlet 130. In this case, it is only necessary that the first rotating shaft 1111 on the sealing assembly 110 is also set in the corresponding position.

[0029] refer to Figure 4-7 In some specific embodiments of this utility model, the drive assembly 120 is disposed in the functional channel 210. The drive assembly 120 includes a motor 121 and a transmission assembly. The transmission assembly includes a crank 122 and a connecting rod 123. The crank 122 is driven to the motor 121, so that the motor 121 can drive the crank 122 to rotate. One end of the connecting rod 123 is driven to the crank 122. Specifically, the connecting rod 123 can be connected to any point other than the crank shaft of the crank 122. The end of the connecting rod 123 facing away from the crank 122 is driven to the sealing assembly 110.

[0030] Therefore, when the motor 121 drives the crank 122 to rotate, the connecting rod 123 can continuously reciprocate, thereby driving the sealing assembly 110 to switch between the first position and the second position. Furthermore, by forming a transmission assembly with the crank 122 and the connecting rod 123, the size of the drive assembly 120 can be reduced, thus decreasing the volume occupied by the drive assembly 120 in the toilet.

[0031] refer to Figure 4 , 8 In some specific embodiments of this utility model, the transmission assembly further includes a pivot member 124, which can be a screw, pin, etc. A second shaft hole 1231 is provided on the end of the connecting rod 123 facing away from the crank 122, and a third shaft hole 1112 is provided on the side of the sealing assembly 110 near the connecting rod 123. The pivot member 124 is rotatably inserted into both the second shaft hole 1231 and the third shaft hole 1112, thereby forming a pivot structure. When the connecting rod 123 drives the sealing assembly 110 to move, the connecting rod 123 and the sealing assembly 110 can also rotate relative to each other, thereby avoiding interference or jamming and making the switching process smoother.

[0032] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, the sealing assembly 110 includes a baffle 111 and a sealing ring 112. The sealing ring 112 may be wrapped around the outer peripheral wall of the baffle 111. In this case, the outer peripheral wall of the sealing ring 112 and the inner peripheral wall of the functional outlet 130 are interference fit.

[0033] refer to Figure 4 In some other specific embodiments of this utility model, the sealing ring 112 is disposed on the side of the baffle 111 near the functional outlet 130. At this time, the outer peripheral wall of the sealing ring 112 protrudes from the outer peripheral wall of the baffle 111, thereby forming an interference fit between the outer peripheral wall of the sealing ring 112 and the inner peripheral wall of the functional outlet 130.

[0034] In some other embodiments of this utility model, the sealing component 110 may also include only the baffle 111. In this case, the baffle 111 and the functional outlet 130 are interference-fitted to achieve the sealing effect.

[0035] refer to Figure 8 , 9 In some specific embodiments of this utility model, a rib 1121 is provided on one of the sides of the sealing ring 112 near the baffle 111 and the side of the baffle 111 near the sealing ring 112, and a groove 1113 is provided on the other side. The groove 1113 is inserted into the groove 1113 to connect the sealing ring 112 and the baffle 111.

[0036] refer to Figure 3 , 7 In some specific embodiments of this utility model, a cover plate rear seat 200 is provided, including the aforementioned sealing mechanism 100, at least two functional channels 210, and a rear shell. The functional outlet 130 is simultaneously connected to all functional channels 210, that is, all functional channels 210 are connected to the outside world (such as the pelvic cavity) through the same functional outlet 130. When the sealing component 110 is in the second position, the sealing component 110 can cover and seal the functional outlet 130, that is, simultaneously seal all functional channels 210. Thus, it is not necessary to separately set a sealing component 110 and a drive component 120 for each functional channel 210.

[0037] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, a drying assembly and a spray gun assembly (not shown) are also provided in the cover plate rear seat 200, wherein at least one functional channel 210 is provided with a drying assembly and at least one functional channel 210 is provided with a spray gun assembly.

[0038] refer to Figure 1 , 2 In some specific embodiments of this utility model, an intelligent cover 1000 is provided, including the aforementioned sealing mechanism 100. In some other specific embodiments of this utility model, an intelligent cover 1000 is provided, including a seat ring 300, a flip cover 400 and the aforementioned cover back seat 200, wherein the seat ring 300 and the flip cover 400 are rotatably mounted on the cover back seat 200.

[0039] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, a toilet is provided, including the sealing mechanism 100 described above.

[0040] refer to Figure 1 , 2 In some other specific embodiments of this utility model, a toilet is provided, which includes the aforementioned seat 200.

[0041] refer to Figure 1 ,2 In some other specific embodiments of this utility model, a toilet is provided, which includes a ceramic body 2000 and the aforementioned smart seat 1000, wherein the smart seat 1000 is disposed on the ceramic body 2000.

[0042] It is understandable that the functional outlet 130 faces the basin inside the ceramic body 2000, and the sealing component 110 blocks the functional outlet 130 and the basin. When the sealing component 110 is in the second position, water in the basin cannot enter the functional outlet 130. When there is dirt splashed on the baffle 111, the user can directly spray water to clean it, and the water cannot enter the functional outlet 130.
