Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom product technology, and in particular to a foot-kick sensor device that is easy to install and remove. Background Technology

[0002] Toilets are a common toilet device in people's lives, and smart toilets are an improvement on traditional toilet devices. By integrating more intelligent or detection components, smart toilets effectively enhance their functionality and ease of use.

[0003] The foot-operated start mechanism of toilets typically has a detection switch located at the bottom of the toilet bowl. When the user finishes using the toilet, they kick or press the spring end of the detection switch to activate the flushing action and open / close the toilet seat. However, in existing technologies, the detection switch is fixed or non-removable and mounted on the surface of the toilet bowl. Furthermore, the detection switch and connecting wires are integrated into a single structure, running along the interior of the toilet bowl and connected to a circuit board located in the water tank via a detachable clip. This structural design makes it difficult to easily remove and replace the detection switch when it malfunctions, and in some cases, it may even necessitate replacing the entire toilet bowl.

[0004] At the same time, when disassembling the connection wires inside the toilet in some existing technologies, it is even necessary to disassemble the toilet tank and the corresponding circuit board in order to separate the connection wires from the main board. After replacing the connection wires, the circuit board needs to be reassembled and reconnected, which ultimately increases the user's maintenance costs and the difficulty of subsequent maintenance for repair personnel.

[0005] Therefore, it is essential to improve or optimize the connection structure of the detection switch in existing toilet technologies to enhance the convenience of maintenance and reduce maintenance costs. Summary of the Invention

[0021] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] This utility model proposes a foot-kick sensor device that is easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-4The convenient foot-operated sensor device of this utility model includes an outer shell 2 detachably connected to the toilet body 1. The outer shell 2 has an internal installation space, allowing the button 3 to be installed and fixed within this space. The rear end of the outer shell 2 is fitted with a button cover 5, which can move axially along the outer shell 2. After the button cover 5 is connected to the outer shell 2, the user can kick or push the button cover 5 towards the interior of the toilet body 1, causing the button cover 5 to exert a forward pushing force on the button 3 and trigger its electrical start signal. Furthermore, the front end of the button 3 is detachably connected to a connecting wire 6. When the button 3 is triggered and activates the corresponding signal, a corresponding trigger electrical signal is sent to the circuit board installed inside the toilet body 1 via the connecting wire 6.

[0025] Preferably, the outer periphery of the outer shell 2 of this utility model is provided with a plurality of elastic support legs 201 that can be elastically extended outward, wherein all the elastic support legs 201 are elastically extended from front to back, that is, the outer diameter of the outer circumference of all the elastic support legs 201 gradually increases from front to back. In the actual installation state, when the outer shell 2 and the mounting hole 101 of the toilet body 1 are inserted and connected, the elastic support legs 201 can undergo elastic radial compression deformation, and elastic support is provided for the mounting hole 101 of the toilet body 1 through the elastic support legs 201, thereby limiting the position of the elastic support legs 201 and reliably installing the toilet body 1.

[0026] More preferably, in this embodiment of the present invention, the rear end of the outer shell 2 is provided with a support plate 202, and a support block 203 is provided at the connection position between the support plate 202 and the outer shell 2. When the outer shell 2 is supported and connected to the toilet body 1, the support plate 202 contacts the surface of the toilet body 1 to determine the installation depth of the outer shell and the toilet body 1, while the support block 203 is supported in the mounting hole 101 of the toilet body 1 to prevent the outer shell 2 from rotating or shaking due to gaps.

[0027] Preferably, in this embodiment of the present invention, the internal mounting space of the outer shell 2 is provided with a button slot 205, and the button 3 has several outer wall surfaces that correspond to and cooperate with the button slot 205. In this embodiment, the cross-section of the button 3 is rectangular or square, and the button 3 has at least two opposite outer wall surfaces that cooperate with and are positioned in the button slot 205 of the internal mounting space of the outer shell 2, thereby completely determining the connection relationship between the button 3 and the outer shell 2.

[0028] More preferably, the outer wall surface of the button 3 in this embodiment of the invention is provided with a positioning protrusion 301. When the button 3 is inserted and connected to the outer shell 2, the positioning protrusion 301 is pressed and connected to the button slot 205, thereby restricting the axial displacement and radial rotation of the button 3. Since a tight connection is required between the button 3 and the outer shell 2 during actual installation, if the button 3 can rotate radially between itself and the outer shell 2, it will cause twisting of the connecting wire 6. Long-term use may result in twisting, deformation, or even structural damage to the connecting wire 6. Furthermore, the axial connection between the button 3 and the connecting wire 6 prevents axial movement between the button 3 and the outer shell 2 and ensures a reliable axial connection between the connecting wire 6 and the button 3.

[0029] In this embodiment of the invention, the outer shell 2 is provided with a plurality of snap-fit ​​holes 204, and the front end of the button cover 5 is provided with a plurality of corresponding snap-fit ​​feet 501. The snap-fit ​​feet 501 can be inserted into the snap-fit ​​holes 204, and the snap-fit ​​feet 501 can move axially along the snap-fit ​​holes 204. In the actual installation state, the button cover 5 protrudes from the outer surface of the toilet body 1 relative to the outer shell 2. This arrangement allows the user to directly contact the button cover 5 with their feet after using the toilet, generating an axial pushing force on the button cover 5. This causes the central rod 502 inside the button cover 5 to press the micro switch 302 at the rear end of the button 3, thus triggering a corresponding start signal on the button 3.

[0030] Preferably, a spring 4 for support and elastic reset is provided between the front end of the button cover 5 and the button 3 to push the button cover 5 to reset. The rear end of the spring 4 is inserted into the recessed space of the button cover 5 for positioning, and the front end of the spring 4 is in contact with the rear end of the button 3. Therefore, in the final installed state, the rear end of the spring 4 is connected to the button cover 5, and the front end of the spring 4 is connected to the rear end of the button 3. During the movement of the button cover 5 toward the button 3, the spring 4 is compressed and deformed, and the central rod 502 inside the button cover 5 presses the micro switch 302 at the front end of the button 3. Alternatively, the spring may not be present between the button cover 5 and the button 3, and this will not affect the technical effect and protection scope of the present invention.

[0031] In this embodiment of the utility model, since the button 3 and the outer shell 2 are axially connected by insertion, the front end of the button 3 is provided with a wire connection port 304, and the outer peripheral surface of the wire connection port 304 is provided with a limiting ring 305. When the button 3 and the outer shell 2 are connected by insertion, the limiting ring 305 will lock and limit the interference between the front end of the button and the front end of the outer shell 2. The inner surface of the through hole at the front end of the outer shell 2 is provided with a rear inclined surface, and the front surface of the limiting ring 5 is provided with a front inclined surface. Therefore, during the process of connecting the button 3 and the outer shell 1, the rear inclined surface is radially pushed open by the front inclined surface, so that the front end of the button 3 can smoothly pass through the front hole of the outer shell 2.

[0032] In addition, a sealing ring 601 is provided on the outer periphery of the connecting wire 6. The sealing ring 601 seals the gap after the connecting wire 6 and the button 3 are connected, so that the front part of the convenient disassembly and assembly foot kick sensor of this utility model has good sealing performance.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the concept of the present utility model and using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
