DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The present invention provides a test paper box that is good in sealing property, convenient in disassembly and assembly, easy in paper delivery, easy in replacement, and low in cost.

[0032] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the test paper box of the present invention comprises a housing 1 and a support 2. The support 2 comprises a base and an elongated cavity arranged at the base for storing test paper 5, and the test paper 5 is filled into the elongated cavity through a paper inlet 3 at a top of the elongated cavity. After the test paper 5 is arranged according to quality, the housing 1 is sheathed on the support 2 from top to bottom.

[0033] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the housing 1 is a shell with an opening at the bottom, and the shell is sheathed on the elongated cavity of the support 2. A covering structure 12 is provided on the top of the inner surface of the housing 1 for matching with the paper inlet 3 arranged at the top of the elongated cavity so as to seal the test paper 5 in the elongated cavity of the support 2.

[0034] With reference to FIGS. 2 and 6, the housing 1 and the support 2 are fixed together through a snap-fit. Specifically, a clamping slot is provided on the base of the support 2, and a locking tongue is provided on the inner wall of the housing 1. The support 2 and the housing 1 are fixed together through the snap-fit between the clamping slot and the locking tongue, so that the opening at the bottom of the housing 1 is covered by the base of the support 2.

[0035] With reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, some air holes 4 are disposed around the elongated cavity of the support 2, and the air holes 4 can be disposed in the side walls of the elongated cavity. A dampproof component is provided at the air holes 4 for dampproof protection of the test paper in the elongated cavity. Preferably, the dampproof component can be a desiccant bag 6, the desiccant bag 6 is fixed between the housing 1 and the elongated cavity, and a plurality of the desiccant bags 6 can be disposed as appropriate.

[0036] With reference to FIG. 4, the base of the support 2 is provided with a through hole disposed at a position corresponding to a bottom surface of the elongated cavity, and a elongated paper-receiving slot 7 is disposed below the through hole, the paper-receiving slot 7 is fixed to the bottom of the base to receive the bottommost piece of test paper exposed from the elongated cavity, and one end of the paper-receiving slot 7 is a paper outlet 8. In addition, at the bottom of the base is further provided with a seal platform 13 raised surrounding the through hole on the base. The seal platform 13 can be provided as a plastic platform integrated with the base of the test paper box, which is used for being mutually matched with a gasket (not shown in the figure) located below the paper-receiving slot 7, so as to seal the entire paper-receiving slot 7, and the seal assembly formed by the seal platform 13 and the gasket effectively prevents the test paper from invalidation caused by damp exterior during use.

[0037] The present invention further provides a smart toilet containing the test paper box above. The smart toilet comprises a paper feeding module, which comprises a lifting mechanism and a pushing mechanism for matching with the test paper box. With reference to FIGS. 4 and 5, the test paper box is provided with clamping slots for connecting with the lifting mechanism, which comprises clamping slots 9 arranged at two ends of the base and clamping slots 10 arranged at two ends of the housing 1. For example, the clamping slots 9 can be used for lifting the test paper box, and the clamping slots 10 can be used for descending the test paper box.

[0038] When the paper delivery of the test paper box is needed during actual use, the test paper box needs to be lifted by the lifting mechanism firstly and the paper-receiving slot 7 of the test paper box is revealed, and then the pushing mechanism is used for horizontally pushing out the test paper from the paper-receiving slot 7. Specifically, the pushing mechanism is provided with a pulling rod, the pulling rod can enter through one end of the paper-receiving slot 7 and push out the test paper from the paper outlet 8 at the other end of the paper-receiving slot 7 after passing through the paper-receiving slot 7. The test paper pushed out is the bottommost piece of test paper stored in the elongated test paper cavity. After the test paper is pushed out, the upper piece of test paper will fall into the paper-receiving slot 7 by the effect of the self-weight, Next time when use, the pushing mechanism will enter through the paper-receiving slot 7 again to push out the test paper. Since a plurality of new test paper is stored in the elongated cavity, continuous use of the test paper is available; after the test paper is used up, new test paper can be supplemented again, or the empty test paper box can be abandoned, and new test paper box is directly replaced. In order to prevent the newly installed test paper box from reversing left and right, the housing 1 of the test paper box is further provided with a positioning slot 11 for determining a placement direction of the test paper box (FIG. 5).

[0039] If the test paper is not used, and the test paper box needs to be placed stationarily, then test paper box is descended through the lifting mechanism, the bottom of the test paper box is pressed on the said gasket, and the paper-receiving slot 7 is completely sealed through the matching of the gasket with the seal platform 13, to prevent the test paper from being affected with damp. The gasket can be arranged according to the actual installation position of the test paper box, for example, the smart toilet can be independently provided with a special gasket installation support.

[0040] The foregoing description is merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, but is not intended to limit the present invention in any form, and any simple amendments, equivalent changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art using the technical contents disclosed above shall all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
