Description

Technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a basic module for intelligent toilets. State of the art

[0002] To make the design of smart toilets more compact, a downward-extending recess is typically provided at the base of smart toilets to house functional parts such as the water tank, water pump, control board, and circuit board. For example, utility model CN215191199 discloses a basic module with a base whose lower recess has a first receiving space for a water path module (the water path module comprises a main support frame, a pressure regulating valve, a flow heater component, a thyristor component, a water tank, a flow meter component, a pump component, and a diverter valve component) and a second receiving space for electronic components (the electronic components comprise a drying device and a power supply board).When a malfunction occurs in the smart toilet, in almost all cases the first step is to inspect and repair the power supply board. However, due to the relatively deep installation space and the large number of components, inspection and repair are cumbersome. Therefore, there is a need to improve the arrangement of the water path and electrical circuit components to facilitate inspection and repair of the main component. Subject matter of the invention

[0003] The present invention provides a basic module for smart toilets that overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art. The technical concept of the invention for solving the problem is as follows: Basic module for smart toilets comprising a base, a power supply board module, a drying and deodorizing module, and a main control board, further comprising, connected in series, a water tank, a water pump module, a thyristor steel heat dissipation module, a flow heater module, a temperature measuring module, a directional control valve module, and a washing module. The base has a left recess on its left side, a right recess on its right side, and a support platform in its center that connects the left recess to the right recess.The washing module is mounted on the support platform and can extend forward during operation. The drying and deodorizing module is located on the support platform and extends beyond the right-hand recess. The main control board is located in the right-hand recess. The water tank, water pump module, thyristor steel heat dissipation module, flow heater module, temperature sensor module, directional control valve module, and power supply board module are combined into a single water tank module located in the left-hand recess. The power supply board module is located on the left side of the water tank module. A maintenance window is provided in the left-hand side wall of the left-hand recess, and this maintenance window is opposite the power supply board module.

[0004] In an advantageous embodiment, a sliding cover is also provided for opening and closing the maintenance window, which is connected to the base.

[0005] In an advantageous embodiment, a UVC sterilization module for dynamic water is provided, which is arranged between the thyristor steel heat dissipation module and the flow heater module, wherein the UVC sterilization module for dynamic water is also integrated into the water tank module.

[0006] In an advantageous embodiment, an electromagnetic valve module is further included, which is connected upstream to the water tank and arranged in the right-hand recess.

[0007] In an advantageous embodiment, a filter module is further provided which is connected upstream to the electromagnetic valve module, wherein the filter module is integrated into the electromagnetic valve module to form a switching filter module.

[0008] In an advantageous embodiment, the filter module comprises a socket, a filter element, and a push rod, wherein a socket opening is provided in the upper part of the socket, wherein a water outlet channel and a water inlet channel surrounding the outer circumference of the water outlet channel are provided centrally in the lower base surface of the socket opening, wherein the push rod is arranged in the water inlet channel, wherein a sealing closure is provided on the push rod, wherein the push rod is spring-loaded upwards so that the sealing closure blocks the water inlet channel, wherein when the filter element is inserted into the socket opening, the water inlet opening of the filter element is connected to the water inlet channel, wherein the water outlet opening of the filter element is connected to the water outlet channel, and wherein simultaneously the filter element pushes down the push rod.which opens the water inlet channel.

[0009] In an advantageous embodiment, the thyristor steel heat dissipation module is connected to the power supply board module, with the water pump module being connected to the lower end of the water tank.

[0010] In an advantageous embodiment, a receiving space is provided on the front side wall of the right recess, in which the main control board is mounted.

[0011] In an advantageous embodiment, an air pump module is also included, which is connected to the directional control valve module.

[0012] In an advantageous embodiment, the directional control valve module is connected to the water tank.

[0013] Compared to the state of the art, the present technical concept offers the following advantages: 1. The water path and circuit components are rearranged, with the water tank, water pump module, thyristor steel heat dissipation module, flow heater module, temperature sensor module, directional control valve module, and power supply board module combined to form a single water tank module, which is mounted in the left recess. For maintenance, the power supply board module is directly accessible through the service window, simplifying the process. 2. The water tank module is a self-contained unit with a relatively small number of silicone tubing connections within the water path. This reduces malfunctions caused by kinked tubing and facilitates future maintenance. 3. The dynamic water UVC sterilization module utilizes powerful UV LEDs to emit ultraviolet light in the 265-285 nm wavelength range.This immediately kills bacteria or prevents them from multiplying, thus achieving effective sterilization of microorganisms in the flowing water. It effectively eliminates harmful strains such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans, significantly improving water quality. 4. The filter module effectively removes various impurities from the water, such as silt, rust, and algae. The filter module is integrated into the electromagnetic valve module and located in the right-hand recess, resulting in a compact design that facilitates future maintenance. 5. After the filter cartridge is removed, the spring automatically pushes the push rod upwards, causing the sealing plug to block the water inlet channel. This ensures automatic water shut-off when the filter cartridge is replaced and allows for easy handling. 6.The air pump module is connected to the diverter valve, allowing the wash module to be supplied with bubble-containing water to ensure a gentle water flow. The diverter valve is connected to the water tank, enabling cleaning of both the tank and the water path with backflow prevention. Character description
