Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of smart toilet technology, and more specifically to a urine testing toilet with temperature protection. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, handheld urine analyzers for home health monitoring are becoming increasingly popular. The chemical components on the test strips or reagents of these instruments are sensitive to temperature and can easily be affected by temperature, causing inaccurate test results. Therefore, the instruments usually specify their ambient temperature or operating temperature range in the product manual to ensure that the detection elements are in optimal working condition, thereby guaranteeing the accuracy of the test results and preventing the equipment from being damaged by extreme temperatures.

[0003] However, in real-world usage scenarios, it's difficult for ordinary users to obtain real-time temperature information about the device's environment instantly and accurately. Even if a thermometer is installed at home, its fixed location in the living room or bedroom creates spatial isolation and physical barriers from the actual environment of the bathroom. This is especially true for more integrated, fixed urine testing devices like smart toilets, where the temperature conditions are particularly complex and variable: the large amount of steam generated during washing and showering significantly alters the perceived temperature from the actual ambient temperature; furthermore, the intermittent operation of high-power heating devices like bathroom heaters and space heaters can cause drastic temperature fluctuations in localized areas within short periods. This results in a significant discrepancy between the indoor temperature read by a user's home thermometer and the actual ambient temperature at the location of the toilet urine testing device. Therefore, accurate, real-time monitoring of the device's operating environment is impossible, leading to inaccurate test results; and operating in harsh conditions such as extreme cold or heat can easily wear down the detection components, reducing the device's lifespan.

[0004] Therefore, this application studies a urine testing toilet with temperature protection, which enables more accurate real-time monitoring of the temperature information around the device, improves the accuracy of test results, and extends the service life of the device. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to enable more accurate real-time monitoring of the temperature information around the device, improve the accuracy of the test results, and extend the service life of the device, this application provides a urine testing toilet with temperature protection.

[0006] This application provides a urine testing toilet with temperature protection, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A urine testing toilet with temperature protection includes a toilet body and a urine testing device disposed on the toilet body. The urine testing device includes a collection element for collecting excrement; it also includes a temperature sensor and a temperature information processing module. The temperature sensor is used to detect the ambient temperature. The temperature sensor is directly or indirectly connected to the temperature information processing module. The temperature information processing module is used to receive the temperature information fed back by the temperature sensor, and allows the urine testing device to start the urine testing mode when it determines that the temperature information is within a preset temperature range; otherwise, it outputs a prompt message.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting up a temperature sensor and a temperature information processing module to detect the environment around the acquisition element, the device can directly and in real time perceive the real temperature of the microenvironment where the acquisition element is located. By determining whether to allow the urine test mode to be activated, it can ensure that the temperature-sensitive acquisition element always works at the optimal ambient temperature, improve the accuracy of the test results, prevent the urine test device from operating in harsh conditions such as extreme cold or high heat, effectively reduce the wear and aging rate of internal precision components, and thus significantly extend the service life of the entire device.

[0009] Optionally, the toilet body includes a seat assembly, and the temperature sensor is disposed on the seat assembly of the toilet body for detecting the temperature around the seat assembly.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, temperature changes in this key area around the cover plate assembly can be effectively captured. This location is the main area where ambient air interacts with the equipment, thus providing a stable and representative temperature monitoring point and ensuring the reliability of basic temperature monitoring.

[0011] At the same time, this data can be shared with the seat heating function, and the seat heating level can be adjusted accurately according to the ambient temperature, improving product integration and ensuring user comfort the moment they sit down.

[0012] Optionally, the temperature sensor is disposed on the urine testing device to detect the temperature around the urine testing device.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, since the collection element is installed on the urine testing device, the urine testing device is a small, independent, and more enclosed space relative to the entire toilet. This allows for more direct and accurate measurement of the local ambient temperature of the core area where the collection element is located, minimizing environmental interference and measurement deviation.

[0014] Optionally, the preset temperature range is 10℃-40℃; the collection element is a test strip or a reagent.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the optimal storage temperature for the collection element (test strip or reagent) is 10℃-40℃, which also ensures that urine analysis can be carried out under optimal conditions, thereby significantly improving the accuracy and reliability of the test results.

[0016] Optionally, it also includes a server. The toilet body includes a toilet main control board. The temperature information processing module is set on the server. The urine detection device is connected to the toilet main control board. The toilet main control board is communicatively connected to the server.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, placing the computationally complex temperature information processing module on the server side can reduce local hardware costs and power consumption, while facilitating big data analysis and remote algorithm upgrades.

[0018] Optionally, the toilet body includes a toilet main control board, the urine detection device includes a detection main control board, the temperature information processing module is disposed on the toilet main control board, and the detection main control board is connected to the toilet main control board.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solutions, a compact system design was achieved, reducing overall complexity and cost.

[0020] Optionally, the toilet body includes a toilet main control board, the urine detection device includes a detection main control board, the temperature information processing module is disposed on the detection main control board, and the detection main control board is connected to the toilet main control board.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the urine testing function and temperature protection function are highly integrated, so that the temperature sensing, judgment and control process can be completed inside the urine testing device, thereby improving the system's integration and response efficiency.

[0022] Optionally, it also includes a terminal device, which has a display module for displaying prompt information and temperature information.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solutions, an intuitive human-computer interaction interface is provided for users, enabling temperature status and warning information to be clearly and timely conveyed to users, greatly improving the user experience and warning effect of the product.

[0024] Optionally, the urine testing device includes a urine testing chamber for mounting the acquisition element, the acquisition element being able to extend from the urine testing chamber, and a temperature sensor disposed in the urine testing chamber for detecting the temperature of the urine testing chamber.

[0025] Optionally, when the temperature information is ≥50℃, the terminal device will prompt: "The current ambient temperature is too high, which seriously affects the monitoring results. Do not turn on the urine monitoring function. Use the urine monitoring function after the temperature returns to normal."

[0026] When 40℃ < temperature information ≤ 50℃, the terminal device prompts: "The current ambient temperature is too high, affecting the accuracy of monitoring. Please use the urine monitoring function again after the temperature returns to normal."

[0027] If 10℃≤TemperatureInformation≤40℃, the test is considered qualified, the terminal device will not prompt, and will directly jump to "Must Read Before Urine Test"; 10℃-40℃ is the preset temperature range;

[0028] When -2℃ < temperature information < 10℃, the terminal device will prompt "The current ambient temperature is too low, which affects the accuracy of monitoring. Please use the urine monitoring function again after the temperature returns to normal".

[0029] When the temperature information is ≤-2℃, the terminal device will prompt: "The current ambient temperature is too low, which seriously affects the monitoring results. Do not use the urine monitoring function. Wait until the temperature returns to normal before using the urine monitoring function."

[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, the terminal device can provide corresponding prompts based on the detected temperature information, which can be communicated to the user in a timely, accurate and clear manner, bringing a better user experience and providing good protection for the urine testing device.

[0031] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects:

[0032] 1. By setting up a temperature sensor and a temperature information processing module, the environment around the acquisition element is detected. It can directly and in real time sense the real temperature of the microenvironment where the acquisition element is located. By determining whether to allow the urine test mode to be started, it can ensure that the temperature-sensitive acquisition element always works at the optimal ambient temperature, improve the accuracy of the test results, prevent the urine test device from operating in harsh conditions such as severe cold or high heat, effectively reduce the wear and aging rate of internal precision components, and thus significantly extend the service life of the entire device.

[0033] 2. The temperature sensor is installed on the toilet seat assembly, effectively capturing temperature changes in this critical area around the seat assembly. This location is the primary area of ​​interaction between ambient air and the device, thus providing a stable and representative temperature monitoring point and ensuring the reliability of basic temperature monitoring.

[0034] At the same time, this data can be shared with the seat heating function, and the seat heating level can be adjusted in real time according to the ambient temperature, improving the product integration and ensuring the user's comfort when sitting down.

[0035] 3. The temperature sensor is set on the urine testing device. Since the collection element is installed on the urine testing device, the urine testing device is a small, independent and better enclosed space relative to the entire toilet. This allows for more direct and accurate measurement of the local ambient temperature of the core area where the collection element is located, minimizing environmental interference and measurement deviation.

[0036] 4.10℃-40℃ is the optimal ambient temperature for storing the collection element (test strip or reagent), which also ensures that urine analysis can be performed under optimal conditions, thereby significantly improving the accuracy and reliability of the test results.

[0045] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0046] This application discloses a urine testing toilet with temperature protection. The toilet includes a toilet body and a urine testing device 2 mounted on the toilet body. The toilet body includes a lid assembly 1, and the urine testing device 2 includes a collection element for collecting excrement. In some embodiments, the collection element can be a test strip or reagent. It also includes a temperature sensor 3 and a temperature information processing module. The temperature sensor 3 (NTC) includes, but is not limited to, a four-level temperature sensor or a wind temperature sensor. The temperature sensor 3 detects the ambient temperature of the lid assembly 1 of the toilet body or the ambient temperature of the urine testing device 2, thereby determining the ambient temperature of the collection element. The temperature sensor 3 is directly or indirectly connected to the temperature information processing module. The temperature information processing module receives the temperature information fed back by the temperature sensor 3 and allows the urine testing mode to be activated when the temperature information is within a preset temperature range; otherwise, it outputs a prompt message. The prompt message advises the consumer not to activate the urine test. After the prompt, the user can still activate the urine test if they wish.

[0047] This ensures that the temperature-sensitive acquisition element always operates at the optimal ambient temperature, improving the accuracy of the test results and preventing the urine test device 2 from operating in harsh conditions such as extreme cold or high heat. It also effectively reduces the wear and aging rate of the internal precision components, thereby significantly extending the service life of the entire device.

[0048] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the toilet body includes a lid assembly 1, and a temperature sensor 3 is disposed on the lid assembly 1 of the toilet body for detecting the temperature around the lid assembly 1. Specifically, the temperature sensor 3 is disposed inside the lid assembly 1 of the toilet body, thereby enabling real-time collection of temperature data around the lid assembly 1, and processing the temperature data to determine whether the urine testing device 2 can normally start the urine testing function.

[0049] In some embodiments, the temperature sensor 3 is disposed on the urine testing device 2 to detect the temperature around the urine testing device 2. In this case, the temperature sensor 3 can specifically detect the temperature of the urine testing chamber, and can more directly and accurately measure the local ambient temperature of the core area where the acquisition element is located. After processing the temperature data, it is determined whether the urine testing function can be started normally.

[0050] Temperature sensor 3 can be located in one of the toilet seat assembly 1 and the urine testing device 2, or it can be located in both locations. When the entire urine testing machine performs a self-test and the urine testing device 2 does not have a built-in temperature sensor 3, it will automatically collect the temperature information from the temperature sensor 3 on the toilet seat assembly 1. If the urine testing device 2 has a built-in temperature sensor 3, regardless of whether there is a temperature sensor 3 on the seat assembly 1, the data from the built-in temperature sensor 3 of the urine testing device 2 will be used.

[0051] In some embodiments, the preset temperature range is 10℃-40℃. 10℃-40℃ is the optimal ambient temperature for storing the collection element (test strip or reagent), ensuring that urine analysis can be performed under optimal conditions, thereby significantly improving the accuracy and reliability of the test results. More preferably, the preset temperature range is 15℃-35℃, ensuring that urine analysis can be performed under optimal conditions, thereby significantly improving the accuracy and reliability of the test results.

[0052] In some embodiments, the device further includes a terminal device having a display module for displaying prompts and temperature information. The terminal device can be an operating device such as a mobile phone, and also includes a main control board, with the display module connected to the main control board.

[0053] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments, a server is also included. The toilet body includes a toilet main control board, a temperature information processing module is mounted on the server, and the urine testing device 2 is connected to the toilet main control board. The toilet main control board is communicatively connected to the server, thereby enabling information transmission between the urine testing device 2 and the toilet body, and communication between the toilet body and the server. The temperature information processing module receives and processes the temperature near the lid assembly 1 or the urine testing device 2 collected by the NTC through the communication module. The server and the terminal device main control board are communicatively connected through the communication module. After processing the corresponding temperature, the temperature information processing module displays the temperature and corresponding prompts through the display module. Placing the computationally complex temperature information processing module on the server side can reduce local hardware costs and power consumption, while facilitating big data analysis and remote algorithm upgrades.

[0054] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments, the toilet body includes a toilet main control board, the urine detection device 2 includes a detection main control board, and a temperature information processing module is disposed on the toilet main control board, with the detection main control board connected to the toilet main control board. The temperature information processing module on the toilet main control board receives and processes the temperature near the lid assembly 1 or the urine detection device 2 collected by the NTC via a communication module, achieving a compact system design and reducing overall complexity and cost. The toilet main control board and the terminal device main control board are connected via a communication module.

[0055] Reference Figure 5In some embodiments, the toilet body includes a toilet main control board, the urine detection device 2 includes a detection main control board, and a temperature information processing module is mounted on the detection main control board. The detection main control board is connected to the toilet main control board. After the temperature information processing module on the detection main control board processes the information, it is transmitted to the toilet main control board. Through the communication connection between the toilet main control board and the terminal device main control board, the terminal device displays the temperature and related prompts. This achieves a high degree of integration between the urine detection function and the temperature protection function, allowing the temperature sensing, judgment, and control process to be completed within the urine detection device 2, improving the system's integration and response efficiency.

[0056] In some embodiments, the urine testing device 2 includes a urine testing chamber for mounting the acquisition element, the acquisition element being able to extend from the urine testing chamber, and a temperature sensor 3 disposed in the urine testing chamber for detecting the temperature of the urine testing chamber.

[0057] When the preset temperature range is 15℃-35℃, the specific temperature judgment logic is as follows:

[0058] A. When the NTC detection temperature is ≥50℃, the terminal device will prompt: "The current ambient temperature is too high, which seriously affects the monitoring results. Do not turn on the urine monitoring function. Use the urine monitoring function after the temperature returns to normal."

[0059] B. When 35℃ < NTC detection temperature ≤ 50℃, the terminal device will prompt: "The current ambient temperature is too high, which affects the accuracy of monitoring. Please use the urine monitoring function after the temperature returns to normal."

[0060] C. When 15℃≤NTC detection temperature≤35℃, the test is considered qualified, the terminal device will not prompt and will directly jump to "Must Read Before Urine Test".

[0061] D. When -2℃ < NTC detection temperature < 15℃, the terminal device will prompt "The current ambient temperature is too low, which affects the accuracy of monitoring. Please use the urine monitoring function again after the temperature returns to normal".

[0062] E. When the ambient temperature around the detection device is ≤-2℃, the terminal device will display: "The current ambient temperature is too low, which seriously affects the monitoring results. Do not use the urine monitoring function. Wait until the temperature returns to normal before using the urine monitoring function."

[0063] When the preset temperature range is 10℃-40℃, the specific temperature judgment logic is as follows:

[0064] When the temperature information is ≥50℃, the terminal device will prompt: "The current ambient temperature is too high, which seriously affects the monitoring results. Do not turn on the urine monitoring function. Use the urine monitoring function after the temperature returns to normal."

[0065] When 40℃ < temperature information ≤ 50℃, the terminal device prompts: "The current ambient temperature is too high, affecting the accuracy of monitoring. Please use the urine monitoring function again after the temperature returns to normal."

[0066] If 10℃≤TemperatureInformation≤40℃, the test is considered qualified, the terminal device will not prompt, and will directly jump to "Must Read Before Urine Test"; 10℃-40℃ is the preset temperature range;

[0067] When -2℃ < temperature information < 10℃, the terminal device will prompt "The current ambient temperature is too low, which affects the accuracy of monitoring. Please use the urine monitoring function again after the temperature returns to normal".

[0068] When the temperature information is ≤-2℃, the terminal device will prompt: "The current ambient temperature is too low, which seriously affects the monitoring results. Do not use the urine monitoring function. Wait until the temperature returns to normal before using the urine monitoring function."

[0069] The implementation principle of a urine testing toilet with temperature protection in this application embodiment is as follows: by setting a temperature sensor 3 and a temperature information processing module, the environment around the acquisition element is detected, which can directly and in real time sense the real temperature of the microenvironment where the acquisition element is located, and by determining whether to allow the urine testing mode to be started, it can ensure that the temperature-sensitive acquisition element always works at the optimal ambient temperature, improve the accuracy of the test results, prevent the urine testing device 2 from operating in harsh conditions such as severe cold or high heat, effectively reduce the wear and aging rate of internal precision components, and thus significantly extend the service life of the entire device.
