Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of sanitary ware technology, specifically to the drainage structure of an atomizing device and a smart toilet. Background Technology
[0002] The atomizing sterilization function of smart toilets generates a sterilizing ionic mist through water electrolysis, effectively cleaning the toilet bowl's inner walls and inhibiting bacterial growth. To achieve this function, a separate atomizing chamber is required for atomizing the electrolyzed water. Residual electrolyzed water after atomization must be promptly drained to prevent high-concentration residual water from mixing with the water used for subsequent atomization, which would lead to unstable sterilization concentrations. Therefore, the drainage structure design of the atomizing chamber directly affects the reliability of the sterilization effect and the long-term stability of the system, making it one of the core technological aspects of the smart toilet's sterilization module.
[0003] Current smart toilet atomizing sterilization modules generally have limitations in their drainage design. In common solutions, the atomizing chamber is directly connected to the drainage channel, requiring the addition of a drain valve or a dedicated water pump, which not only increases costs but also leads to a higher failure rate due to the increased number of components. Utility Model Content
[0004] This application provides a drainage structure for an atomizing device and a smart toilet to solve the problem of increased cost and failure rate caused by additional drain valves or dedicated water pumps.
[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a drainage structure for an atomizing device, comprising:
[0006] The atomizing device body includes a drain chamber, a drain hole, and a water inlet. The drain chamber has a first end and a second end opposite to each other, and the second end of the drain chamber is higher than the first end of the drain chamber. The drain hole is disposed at the first end of the drain chamber, and the water inlet is disposed at the second end of the drain chamber.
[0007] A flushing assembly includes an output end and an input end, wherein the input end of the flushing assembly is connected to the drain hole.
[0008] Beneficial effects: The high-low design of the drain chamber allows residual electrolyzed water entering the drain chamber to naturally converge to the lower drain hole under gravity and be discharged. The connection between the drain chamber and the flushing assembly allows water in the drain chamber to be discharged through the flushing assembly, eliminating the need for a traditional drain valve / pump, reducing the number of components, lowering the failure rate, and reducing manufacturing costs.
[0009] In one optional embodiment, the flushing assembly includes:
[0010] A flushing pipe is connected to a water trap, and the flushing pipe is also connected to the drain hole;
[0011] The water inlet hole is higher than the water surface inside the water trap.
[0012] Beneficial effects: The drain hole is directly connected to the water trap via the flushing pipe. During flushing, the strong negative pressure of the water trap acts directly on the drain chamber, efficiently drawing in liquid. The inlet hole is positioned higher than the water surface of the water trap, allowing excess water to enter the drain chamber and, under atmospheric pressure, promptly flow into the flushing pipe and overflow to the ceramic drain pipe for discharge.
[0013] In one optional embodiment, the flushing assembly includes:
[0014] A water tank includes a water inlet and a water outlet. The water inlet of the water tank is used to connect to an external water source, and the water outlet of the water tank is connected to a water trap. The water tank is also connected to the drain hole.
[0015] Wherein, the drain hole is higher than the lowest water level in the water tank, and the connection point between the drain hole and the water tank is lower than the drain hole.
[0016] Beneficial effects: When the water tank is flushed, the water level inside drops, exposing the connection point between the drain hole and the water tank. Since the connection point between the water tank and the drain hole is lower than the drain hole, the water in the drain chamber will be forced into the water tank under atmospheric pressure and then discharged into the ceramic drain pipe.
[0017] In one optional embodiment, the flushing assembly includes:
[0018] Water tank;
[0019] The water pump includes an inlet end and an outlet end. The outlet end of the water pump is connected to a water trap, and the inlet end of the water pump is connected to the drain hole and the water tank.
[0020] Beneficial effects: By directly reusing the existing water pump used for toilet flushing to draw liquid from the drain chamber, water in the drain chamber can be drawn away along with water from the tank during flushing, thus achieving discharge. Simultaneously, the active suction provided by the water pump ensures that all water in the drain chamber is completely drained.
[0021] In one alternative implementation, it further includes:
[0022] An air-blocking element is disposed on the inner wall of the drainage cavity and covers the drainage hole, which is suitable for water to pass through and blocks gas.
[0023] Beneficial effect: The air-blocking device can prevent air from entering the water pump after the water in the drain chamber has been drained, thus preventing the pump from affecting its function.
[0024] In one optional embodiment, the air-blocking element is configured as a thin sheet structure, the inner wall of the first end of the drainage cavity is at least partially configured as a planar area, the drainage hole is disposed in the planar area, and the air-blocking element is disposed in the planar area.
[0025] Beneficial effects: The flat area design ensures that the air-sealing component fits tightly against the cavity wall, preventing air leakage at the edges.
[0026] In one optional embodiment, the air barrier is configured as a fiber-based hygroscopic closed-cell material, a microporous hydrophilic membrane material, or a polymer composite barrier material.
[0027] In one optional embodiment, the water inlet is configured as an elongated structure, and the length direction of the water inlet is parallel to the water cover in the water trap.
[0028] Beneficial effects: The elongated water inlet structure can increase the water flow cross-section, reduce water flow turbulence, and allow electrolyzed water to flow evenly into the drainage chamber.
[0029] In one optional embodiment, a one-way valve is provided between the drain hole and the input end of the flushing assembly, the one-way valve being adapted to connect the drain hole and the input end of the flushing assembly in the direction from the drain hole to the input end of the flushing assembly.
[0030] Beneficial effects: The one-way valve ensures that liquid can only flow from the drain chamber to the flush assembly, preventing water in the flush assembly from being forced into the drain chamber under water pressure, and completely blocking the backflow of sewage / bacteria from the trap.
[0031] Secondly, this application also provides a smart toilet with a drainage structure including an atomizing device.
[0032] Beneficial effects: Smart toilets integrating the above drainage structure have the advantages of low energy consumption and low failure rate. Users do not need to maintain the drainage components, thus improving the user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0041] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0042] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 5 This describes an embodiment of the present application.
[0043] According to an embodiment of this application, in one aspect, a drainage structure for a toilet atomizing device is provided, including an atomizing device body 1 and a flushing assembly. The atomizing device body 1 includes a drain chamber 101, a drain hole 102, and a water inlet 103. The drain chamber 101 has a first end and a second end opposite to each other, with the second end of the drain chamber 101 being higher than the first end. The drain hole 102 is disposed at the first end of the drain chamber 101, and the water inlet 103 is disposed at the second end of the drain chamber 101. The flushing assembly includes an output end and an input end, with the input end of the flushing assembly communicating with the drain hole 102.
[0044] It should be noted that the inlet hole 103 of the drain chamber 101 is higher than the drain hole 102, allowing water entering the drain chamber 101 from the inlet hole 103 to collect and then discharge from the drain hole 102. The flushing assembly is a common feature in smart toilets. The output end of the flushing assembly is connected to the water trap, used to flush the water trap and flush the water and waste in the water trap into the drain pipe. Since the flushing assembly and the water trap are connected, connecting the drain hole 102 to the flushing assembly allows water from the drain chamber 101 to be discharged into the water trap through the flushing assembly, increasing the water volume in the water trap before flowing into the drain pipe.
[0045] In this embodiment, the high-low design of the drain chamber 101 allows residual electrolyzed water entering the drain chamber 101 to naturally converge to the lower drain hole 102 under gravity and be discharged. The drain chamber 101 is connected to the flushing assembly, and the inlet hole 103 can be optionally set higher than the water surface, allowing water in the drain chamber 101 to be discharged through the flushing assembly. This eliminates the need for a traditional drain valve / pump, reducing the number of components, lowering the failure rate, and reducing manufacturing costs.
[0046] In one embodiment, the flushing assembly includes a flushing pipe 2 connected to the toilet's trap and a drain hole 102. The inlet hole 103 is higher than the water surface inside the trap.
[0047] Understandably, the flush pipe 2 is connected to the trap. With the drain hole 102 and flush pipe 2 connected via the first connecting pipe 7, the connection between the drain hole 102 and the trap is achieved. Since when the water level in the trap is higher than the water surface, water exceeding the water surface will enter the drain pipe. Therefore, the inlet hole 103 is designed to be higher than the water surface. When the water level flowing from the inlet hole 103 into the drain chamber 101 is above the water surface, the water in the drain chamber 101 will flow into the first connecting pipe 7 under its own gravity, and finally enter the trap through the flush pipe 2 for discharge. The entire drainage process is real-time, ensuring that the water level in the drain chamber 101 is always lower than the inlet hole 103, thus preventing backflow.
[0048] In this embodiment, the drain hole 102 is directly connected to the water trap via the flushing pipe 2. During flushing, the strong negative pressure of the water trap acts directly on the drain chamber 101, efficiently drawing in liquid. The inlet hole 103 is positioned higher than the water surface of the water trap, allowing excess water to enter the drain chamber 101 and, under atmospheric pressure, be promptly channeled into the flushing pipe 2 and overflow to the ceramic drain pipe for discharge.
[0049] In one embodiment, the flushing assembly includes a water tank 3, which has a water inlet and a water outlet. The water inlet of the water tank 3 is connected to an external water source, and the water outlet of the water tank 3 is connected to the toilet's trap. The water tank 3 is also connected to a drain hole 102. The drain hole 102 is higher than the lowest water level in the water tank 3, and the connection point between the water tank 3 and the drain hole 102 is lower than the drain hole 102.
[0050] It should be noted that the drain hole 102 is connected to the water tank 3 via a second connecting pipe 8. Along the direction from the drain hole 102 to the water tank 3, the second connecting pipe 8 gradually slopes downwards, ensuring that water flowing from the drain pipe can smoothly enter the water tank 3, preventing water accumulation in the second connecting pipe 8. The lowest water level in the water tank 3 is the remaining water level after flushing and before refilling.
[0051] In this embodiment, when the water tank 3 is flushed, the water level inside it drops, exposing the connection point between the drain hole 102 and the water tank 3. Since the connection point between the water tank 3 and the drain hole 102 is lower than the drain hole 102, the water in the drain cavity 101 will be forced into the water tank 3 under atmospheric pressure and then discharged into the ceramic drain pipe.
[0052] In one embodiment, the flushing assembly includes a water tank 3 and a water pump 4. The water pump 4 includes an inlet end and an outlet end. The outlet end of the water pump 4 is connected to the water trap of the toilet, and the inlet end of the water pump 4 is connected to the drain hole 102 and the water tank 3 respectively.
[0053] It should be noted that the water inlet of the water pump 4 is connected to the bottom of the water tank 3 through the water pump pipe 10, and the drain hole 102 is connected to the water pump pipe 10 through the third connecting pipe 9. When the water pump 4 is driven and the water in the water tank 3 is drawn through the water pump pipe 10, the water pump pipe 10 is in a negative pressure state, and the water in the drain chamber 101 can be drawn out and discharged through the third connecting pipe 9.
[0054] In this embodiment, by directly reusing the existing water pump 4 used for flushing the toilet to draw liquid from the drain chamber 101, the water in the drain chamber 101 can be drawn away along with the water pump 4 drawing water from the water tank 3 for flushing, thus achieving discharge. At the same time, the active suction force provided by the water pump 4 ensures that all water in the drain chamber 101 is discharged.
[0055] In one embodiment, an air-blocking element 5 is also included, which is disposed on the inner wall of the drainage cavity 101 and covers the drainage hole 102, suitable for water to pass through and blocking gas.
[0056] In this embodiment, the air-blocking component 5 is provided to prevent air from entering the water pump 4 after the water pump 4 has pumped out all the water from the drainage chamber 101, which would affect the function of the water pump 4.
[0057] In one embodiment, the air-blocking member 5 is configured as a thin sheet structure, the inner wall of the first end of the drainage cavity 101 is at least partially configured as a planar area, the drainage hole 102 is disposed in the planar area, and the air-blocking member 5 is disposed in the planar area.
[0058] In this embodiment, the design of the planar area ensures that the air-sealing component 5 fits tightly against the cavity wall, preventing air leakage at the edges.
[0059] In one embodiment, the air barrier 5 is configured as a fiber-based moisture-absorbing closed-cell material, a microporous hydrophilic membrane material, or a polymer composite barrier material.
[0060] In one embodiment, the water inlet 103 is configured as an elongated structure, and the length direction of the water inlet 103 is parallel to the water cover in the water trap.
[0061] Understandably, the water inlet 103 extends horizontally to maximize the water flow.
[0062] In this embodiment, the elongated water inlet 103 can increase the water flow cross-section, reduce water flow turbulence, and allow electrolyzed water to flow evenly into the drain chamber 101.
[0063] In one embodiment, a one-way valve 6 is provided between the drain hole 102 and the input end of the flushing assembly. The one-way valve 6 is adapted to connect the drain hole 102 and the input end of the flushing assembly in the direction from the drain hole 102 to the input end of the flushing assembly.
[0064] Understandably, a drain pipe is provided on the outer wall of the drain chamber 101. One end of the drain pipe is connected to the drain hole 102, and the other end of the drain pipe is connected to the flushing assembly through a one-way valve 6.
[0065] In this embodiment, the one-way valve 6 ensures that liquid can only flow from the drain chamber 101 to the flushing assembly, preventing water in the flushing assembly from being squeezed into the drain chamber 101 under water pressure, and completely blocking the backflow of sewage / bacteria from the trap.
[0066] According to an embodiment of this application, another aspect provides a smart toilet with a drainage structure including an atomizing device.
[0067] In this embodiment, the smart toilet integrating the above-mentioned drainage structure has the advantages of low energy consumption drainage and low failure rate. Users do not need to maintain the drainage components, thus improving the user experience.
[0068] Although embodiments of this application have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of this application, and all such modifications and variations fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
