The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are by way of example and are intended for the interpretation of the invention, which cannot be considered as a limitation of the invention.

[0028] In order to better understand the above technical solutions, exemplary embodiments of the invention are described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the invention may be embodied in various forms and it should not be limited by the embodiments in the present description. Rather, these embodiments are provided in order to enable a more thorough understanding of the invention and to enable the scope of the invention to be fully presented to those skilled in the art.

[0029] The above technical solutions will be explained in detail with reference to the attached drawings and embodiments, in order to better understand them.

[0030] The embodiment of the intelligent toilet structure proposed by this invention is described in detail with reference to Figures 1 to 5 below.

[0031] The intelligent toilet structure according to the embodiment of the invention comprises: a toilet seat 10, a toilet frame 20 and at least one connecting plate 30.

[0032] Specifically, the connecting plate 30 is mounted on the toilet seat 10. The connecting plate 30 is provided with at least one pair of connecting posts 301 and the toilet frame 20 is provided with the connecting holes 201 corresponding to the connecting posts 301. The connecting posts 301 are inserted into the connecting hole 201 so that the toilet frame 20 is fixed to the toilet seat 10.

[0033] That is, the connecting plate 30 is installed on the toilet seat 10, and the connecting posts 301 are provided on the connecting plate 30, so that the connection between the connecting posts 301 and the toilet seat 10 is more solid, and at the same time, it is possible to avoid the problem that the verticality of the connecting posts 301 and the spacing between the holes do not match the connecting holes 201 of the toilet frame 20, otherwise caused by directly installing the connecting posts 301 on the toilet seat 10. When installing the toilet frame 20, it is sufficient to align the connecting holes 201 of the toilet frame 20 with the connecting posts 301 and insert them together. And when disassembling the toilet frame 20, the toilet frame 20 can be quickly disassembled by directly lifting the toilet frame 20.

[0034] Thus, the toilet frame 20 and the toilet seat 10 are precisely connected by arranging the connecting plate 30 on the toilet seat 10, and inserting the connecting posts 301 on the connecting plate 30 into the connecting holes 201 on the toilet frame 20. This clever toilet structure can avoid damage to the toilet when disassembling and assembling the toilet frame 20, and its disassembly and assembly are easy.

[0035] Regarding the toilet seat 10 and the toilet frame 20, the toilet frame is provided with a mounting surface 202 and a projection 203, and the toilet seat 10 is provided with a housing 101. When the toilet frame 20 is attached to the toilet seat 10, the projection 203 is generally integrated into the housing 101, and the mounting surface 202 is applied against the upper face of the toilet seat 10. It is understandable that by arranging the projection 203 of the toilet frame 20, it is possible to connect the projection to the smart accessories, and that by receiving the projection 203 by the housing 101 and by applying the mounting face 202 against the upper face of the toilet seat 10, thereby making full use of the space of the toilet seat 10, making the entire smart toilet smaller, while making it easier to install the toilet lid.

[0036] Regarding the connecting holes 201, they are provided at the mounting face 202, having a protruding cylindrical shape. It is understandable that the mounting surface 202 applies better against the upper face of toilet 10 by providing the connecting holes 201 at the mounting face 202, so that the smart toilet is more beautiful as a whole. And the corresponding section of the connecting column 301 and the connecting hole 201 is longer due to the protruding cylindrical shape of the connecting holes 201, which makes the connection between the connecting posts 301 and the connecting holes 201 more solid. Among these, the connecting holes 201 may be blind holes.

[0037] Regarding the toilet seat 10, it is provided with a mounting groove 102 for installing the connecting plate 30 therein. The mounting groove 102 is lower than the upper face of the toilet seat 10. It is understandable that thanks to the mounting groove 102 of the toilet seat 10, it is easy to mount the connecting plate 30 in the mounting groove 102 without being exposed above the upper face of the toilet seat 10, and to enable the connection of the connecting posts 301 and the connecting holes 201 in the mounting groove 102, which facilitates the application of the mounting face 202 against the upper face of the toilet seat 10.

[0038] Regarding the connecting plate 30, it is adjustable relative to the toilet seat 10. The connecting plate 30 is Z-shaped. It is understandable that toilets are generally made of cast ceramics and some of the mounting holes are also formed by casting them in one piece. As a result, the shapes of the mounting holes are irregular, the spacings and verticalities of which do not achieve the desired effect of the design, resulting in an imprecise connection between the connecting posts 301 and the connecting holes 201. By means of the adjustable installation of the connecting plate 30, the spacing between the connecting posts 301 can be fine-tuned, so that the connecting posts 301 and the connecting holes 201 can be accurately connected.By having the Z-shape of the connecting plates 30, the connecting posts 301 can be installed lower, which facilitates adaptation for the connecting holes 201 of a certain length, so that the mounting surface 202 can be applied against the upper face of the toilet seat 10. Among these, the connecting plate 30 can be a metal part mounted on the toilet seat 10 by fasteners. When adjusting, the fasteners can be loosened and tightened to pivot the connecting plate 30. The connecting post 301 can be mounted on the connecting plate 30 by welding or by assembly with the threads around the connecting post 301.

[0039] Regarding the cooperation between the post 301 and the hole 201, a damping piece 3011 is provided on the post 301. When the post 301 is inserted into the hole 201, the damping piece 3011 contacts the inner wall of the hole 201 in order to maintain a certain resistance between the post 301 and the hole 201. It is understandable that the interaction between the damping piece 3011 on the connecting post 301 and the inner wall of the connecting hole 201 creates friction between the connecting post 301 and the connecting hole. 201, and at the same time, it can eliminate the clearance between the connecting post 301 and the connecting hole 201. On the one hand, it facilitates the connection between the toilet frame 20 and the toilet seat 10, and on the other hand, it facilitates the rapid disassembly of the toilet frame 20 from the toilet seat 10.

[0040] Regarding the damping part 3011, the damping part 3011 is a rubber ring. It is understandable that rubber rings are economical and durable, and it is easy to change. Among these, the rubber ring can be placed in the groove on the connecting post 301 and it can be placed near the upper part of the connecting post 301.

[0041] Regarding the connecting post 301, the upper part of the connecting post 301 is in the shape of a truncated cone. It is understandable that the truncated cone adjustment of the upper part of the connecting post 301 allows the connecting post 301 to have a guiding function, which facilitates better access of the connecting post 301 inside the connecting hole 201, so as to quickly mount the toilet frame 20.

[0042] In some embodiments, the structure also comprises a quick-release assembly 40, which consists of a vertical post 401 and a clip-on piece 402. The vertical post 401 is disposed on the connecting plate 30 and is provided with a clamping groove. The clip-on piece 402 disposed on the toilet frame 20 can be pressed. When installing the toilet frame 20, the vertical post 401 is inserted into the clip-on piece 402 so that it is connected to the groove, and when dismantling the toilet frame 20, the disconnection between the two is performed by pressing the clip-on piece 402.It is understandable that the toilet frame 20 and the toilet seat 10 are detachably connected by the quick disassembly assembly 40, and the connecting post 301 on the toilet seat 10 cooperates with the connecting hole 201 on the toilet frame 20, so that the connection of the toilet frame 20 and the toilet seat 10 is more solid, and at the same time so as to realize the quick disassembly and assembly of the toilet frame 20. In addition, the number of the quick disassembly assembly 40 may be two, with two vertical posts 401 placed on a connecting plate 30, and in this case, the connecting plate 30 may also be of the flat type, the connecting posts 301 may be a pair and separately set on two other connecting plates 30, thus all working together to realize the quick disassembly of the toilet frame 20.
