DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The technical solutions of the present disclosure will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and through implementations. It can be understood that the embodiments described herein are only intended to explain the present disclosure and do not limit the present disclosure.

[0020] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, a toilet is provided. As shown in FIG. 1, the toilet includes a toilet seat body 1 and a brush ring assembly 2. The brush ring assembly 2 is installed on the toilet seat body 1, and the installation method may be chose as screwing or the like. The brush ring assembly 2 is used for conveying brush ring liquid into a bowl cavity 10 of the toilet seat body 1. The bowl cavity 10 may be approximately in a shape of an inverted frustum as a whole. The brush ring liquid may be tap water, or a mixture of tap water and disinfectant, and the like. The toilet seat body 1 may be made of ceramic material and manufactured by a process such as slip casting, or may be made of plastic or the like.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 1, the bowl cavity 10 includes a water inlet part 101, a flow guide part 102, and a sewage discharge part 103 connected sequentially. The water inlet part 101 and the flow guide part 102 may be arranged in an upper and lower direction, and the water inlet part 101 may be located at the top of an entire bowl cavity 10. One end of the sewage discharge part 103 is communicated with the flow guide part 102, and the other end of the sewage discharge part 103 may extend toward a rear side of the toilet seat body 1. As shown in FIG. 2, the sewage discharge part 103 is provided with a sewage discharge port 104, and the sewage discharge port 104 may be provided at an end face of an extension end of the sewage discharge part 103. A shape of the flow section of the sewage discharge port 104 may be provided as a circle or the like. As shown in FIG. 2, the water inlet part 101 is provided with a brush ring water outlet 105, and the brush ring assembly 2 may be installed on the toilet seat body 1 through the brush ring water outlet 105. The brush ring water outlet 105 may be provided on a rear side of the bowl cavity 10, so as not to affect the appearance aesthetics of the entire toilet seat body 1.

[0022] Part or all of the water inlet part 101 may be configured as a rimless area, and the rimless area may be smoothly connected with the flow guide part 102 located below. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, a case in which a part of the water inlet part 101 is configured as a rimless area is taken as an example. As shown in FIG. 1, the water inlet part 101 includes a rimless area 101A (as shown in FIG. 1, illustrated by a dashed line) and a rimmed area 101B. By designing the rimless area 101A and the smooth connection between the rimless area 101A and the flow guide part 102, it may effectively avoid the accumulation of dirt at the top of the bowl cavity 10, and is easy to clean and operate, which is beneficial to human health and may also improve the user experience.

[0023] In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, a rimmed area 101B may be provided at the rear side of the bowl cavity 10. The brush ring water outlet 105 may be provided in the rimmed area 101B, such an arrangement may achieve a concealed arrangement of the brush ring water outlet 105, as shown in FIG. 4. The brush ring water outlet 105 may be provided as a circular hole or the like, as shown in FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 4, the brush ring assembly 2 may be mounted on the toilet seat body 1 through the brush ring water outlet 105. After the brush ring assembly 2 is installed in place, the outer contour of the brush ring assembly 2 may be provided so that the outer contour does not exceed an edge of the rimmed area 101B, and a concealed arrangement of the brush ring assembly 2 may be realized. The brush ring liquid conveyed through the brush ring assembly 2 may be shielded to a certain extent by the rim feature of the rimmed area 101B, so as not to increase the workload of the cleaning operation due to the splash of the brush ring liquid, and so as not to reduce the user experience.

[0024] In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, a size of the rimless area 101A of the water inlet part 101 in the circumferential direction of the water inlet part 101 may be designed to be greater than a size of the rimmed area 101B in the circumferential direction of the water inlet part 101, that is, the proportion of the rimmed area 101B to the circumferential size of the whole water inlet part 101 may be reduced as much as possible to obtain a larger rimless area 101A. This arrangement, on one hand, may reduce the structural complexity of the toilet seat body 1 and reduce the manufacturing difficulty, and on the other hand, may improve the cleaning convenience of the toilet seat body 1. The rimless area 101A is easier to clean than the rimmed area 101B, which may reduce the amount of cleaning operation as a whole.

[0025] In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the toilet seat body 1 further includes an installation cavity 11. As shown in FIG. 1, the bowl cavity 10 is closer to the front side of the toilet seat body 1 than the installation cavity 11, and the bowl cavity 10 and the installation cavity 11 may be arranged side by side in the front and rear direction. The installation cavity 11 may be provided as a cuboid or the like as shown in FIG. 1. The installation cavity 11 is mainly used to provide an installation space for functional components of the toilet. The functional components are such as a water pump (not shown in the figures) or a sewage discharge box assembly 3, for example, as shown in FIG. 6. As shown in FIG. 1, the sewage discharge box assembly 3 includes a sewage discharge pipe 30, a connection element 31, and the like. The connection element 31 is used for connecting the sewage discharge pipe 30 and the sewage discharge part 103. The connection element 31 includes mounting bolts, sealing elements, and the like. The sewage discharge pipe 30 is communicated with the sewage discharge port 104 provided in the sewage discharge part 103, so that dirt is transported from the bowl cavity 10 into the sewage discharge pipe 30, and the dirt is transported to a shifter or a sewer outlet provided on the ground by the relative rotation of the sewage discharge pipe 30 relative to the sewage discharge port 104. The toilet further includes a driving device (not shown in the figures), an output end of the driving device is connected to the sewage discharge pipe 30, and the driving device may drive the sewage discharge pipe 30 to rotate back and forth relative to the sewage discharge port 104.

[0026] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the flow guide part 102 is not provided with a spray port, that is, an area of the flow guide part 102 opposite to the sewage discharge port 104 is provided as a closed wall surface. This arrangement facilitates the washing of the brush ring liquid on the wall surface, improves the cleaning convenience, and avoids the accumulation of dirt. In terms of the overall structure of the toilet, the sewage discharge mode is changed as the sewage discharge box assembly 3 is provided, and the sewage discharge is realized by the rotation of the sewage discharge pipe 30 relative to the bowl cavity 10. Therefore, there is no need to provide a spray port, and the flushing noise may be effectively reduced.

[0027] In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, an area of the flow guide part 102 opposite to the sewage discharge port 104 may be provided as a sloped surface smoothly connected to the sewage discharge part 103. When the toilet is flushed, the sloped surface facilitates the movement of the dirt from the flow guide part 102 toward the sewage discharge part 103, thereby effectively avoiding an attachment of dirt, reducing the workload of the cleaning operation, and improving the cleaning operation efficiency.

[0028] In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the water inlet part 101 includes an extension part 106 and a flow channel part. The extension part 106 is close to an upper part of the bowl cavity 10 compared to the flow channel part, and the extension part 106 is connected to, or may be smoothly connected to, the upper end of the flow channel part. The flow channel part includes a recess part 107 and a smooth part 108. The brush ring water outlet 105 may be provided at the recess part 107. The recess part 107 and the smooth part 108 are connected in the circumferential direction of the bowl cavity 10. The recess part 107 and the smooth part 108 together form a portion of the brush ring water channel, or form the whole brush ring water channel. The brush ring liquid is outputted via the brush ring assembly 2, flows out of the recess part 107, and is guided through the smooth part 108, so as to realize the cleaning operation of the bowl cavity 10. As shown in FIG. 5, the smooth part 108 may be provided as a curved surface sunken outward in the radial direction of the bowl cavity 10, and the curved surface may be a circular arc surface or the like. The curved surface feature of the smooth part 108 may be used to better guide the brush ring liquid, and the splashing of the brush ring liquid may be effectively avoided, thereby reducing the cleaning workload of the toilet.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 2, the extension part 106 includes three portions, namely a first extension region 106a, a second extension region 106b, and a notch 106c, respectively. In the circumferential direction of the bowl cavity 10, the first extension region 106a, the second extension region 106b, and the notch 106c may be sequentially connected. The notch 106c may be located at the rear of the entire extension part 106, i.e., provided adjacent to the installation cavity 11. The notch 106c may provide an avoidance space for the installation or movement of other components of the toilet, such as the seat ring of the toilet, and the like.

[0030] The first extension region 106a is located directly above the recess part 107, and the first extension region 106a and the recess part 107 enclose a groove, as shown in FIG. 5. The groove is used to form the rimmed area 101B. The second extension region 106b is located directly above the smooth part 108 and is smoothly connected to the smooth part 108. The second extension region 106b and the smooth part 108 jointly form the rimless area 101A, as shown in FIG. 2.

[0031] In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, the flow channel part as a whole may have an annular structure, for example, a torus, or a semi-torus, or the like. Alternatively, the flow channel part is spiral-shaped in an upper and lower direction of the toilet, or the like.

[0032] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the recess part 107 includes a first recess 107a and a second recess 107b connected in the circumferential direction of the bowl cavity 10. The first recess 107a is located obliquely below the notch 106c, and the second recess 107b is located directly below the notch 106c. One end of the first recess 107a connected to the second recess 107b is provided with a vertical step surface, and the brush ring water outlet 105 is provided on the step surface. One end of the second recess 107b distanced from the first recess 107a is smoothly connected to the smooth part 108 in the circumferential direction of the bowl cavity 10. When the toilet is flushed, the brush ring liquid outputted through the brush ring assembly 2 can flow downwardly along the inner wall of the bowl cavity 10 from an area close to the second recess 107b through the guidance of the smooth part 108, and may present a turbo-shaped water flow, which may effectively avoid cleaning dead spots and improve cleaning quality.

[0033] In some exemplary embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a depth of the groove enclosed by the first extension region 106a and the recess part 107 in a water flow direction of the brush ring water outlet 105, that is, a direction indicated by an arrow line in the figures, may be designed to be gradually reduced in a radial direction of the bowl cavity 10, so that at least one end of the recess part 107 and the smooth part 108 are smoothly connected in the circumferential direction of the bowl cavity 10, so as to improve the flowability of the brush ring liquid, and to create a certain gathering effect on the brush ring liquid, and to avoid splashing of the brush ring liquid.
