Field of the Invention
[0001] The invention relates to the field of smart top mounts for toilets, in particular
to a top mount watersealing mechanism.
Background of the Invention
[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards and hygiene awareness, the popularizing
rate of smart toilets is getting higher and higher. Many families have already chosen
smart toilets when renovating, and moreover, some families have replaced ordinary
toilet covers with smart toilet top mounts. In addition, some hotels and guest houses
are also equipped with the smart toilets, making the application of the smart toilets
wider.
[0003] With the increase of user demands, a variety of functions have been simultaneously
integrated into a single smart top mount for a toilet, such as heating, warm water
cleaning, warm air drying, deodorization and sterilization, and other functions. Thus,
a variety of circuit equipment is usually buried into a top mount seat ring, for example,
a heating wire for toilet cover heating and a circuit, which needs to be outwards
connected into the base from a joint between the seat ring and a top mount base in
an extending mode. In the long-term use of the top mount, a usage environment of the
top mount is usually a humid environment, or in the case that the top mount needs
to be cleaned, water vapor or water drops will enter the seat ring through a joint
gap between the seat ring and the top mount base and adhere to the heating wire or
the circuit, resulting in risks of short circuit and electric shock. Thus, it is necessary
to conduct water isolation treatment on the joint gap between the seat ring and the
top mount base.
Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the above defects of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved
by the invention is to provide a top mount watersealing mechanism with excellent watersealing
performance.
[0005] In order to realize the above purpose, the invention provides a top mount watersealing
mechanism, including a top mount base, a top mount seat ring and a watersealing material,
the top mount base includes a female connector, a male connector of the top mount
seat ring is inserted into the female connector, a heater is contained in the top
mount seat ring and connected with a control unit in the top mount base through an
electric wire, the electric wire penetrates through the female connector and the male
connector, the male connector is filled with the watersealing material, and the watersealing
material wraps the corresponding electric wire.
[0006] Further, the watersealing material is a flexible material.
[0007] Further, the flexible material is silica gel.
[0008] Further, an outer wall of the watersealing material includes a plurality of outer
folds, and a groove is included between each outer fold and a proximate outer fold.
[0009] Further, an inner wall of the watersealing material wrapping the electric wire includes
a plurality of inner folds, and the inner folds extend towards connecting ends of
the male connector and the female connector.
[0010] The invention has the technical effects of protecting a wire of a smart top mount
to achieve a watersealing effect and being convenient to detach.
[0011] The conception, specific structure and produced technical effects of the invention
will be further explained below in combination with the drawings to fully understand
the purposes, features and effects of the invention.

Detailed Description of the Embodiment
[0014] A preferred embodiment of the invention is introduced below with reference to the
drawings of the description to make its technical contents clearer and convenient
to understand.
[0015] As shown in Fig. 1 to Fig. 4, the invention provides a top mount watersealing mechanism,
including a top mount seat ring 1, a top mount base 2 and a watersealing material
3, the top mount base 2 includes a female connector 21, a male connector 11 of the
top mount seat ring 1 is inserted into the female connector 21 to make the top mount
seat ring 1 pivotable with the top mount base 2 as a fulcrum, a heater is contained
in the top mount seat ring 1 and connected with a control unit in the top mount base
2 through an electric wire 4, the electric wire 4 penetrates through the female connector
21 and the male connector 11, the male connector 11 is filled with the watersealing
material 3, and the watersealing material 3 wraps the corresponding electric wire
4.
[0016] The female connector 21 and the male connector 11 are usually arranged to be hollow
to facilitate passage of the electric wire 4.
[0017] Further, the watersealing material 3 is a flexible material.
[0018] Further, the flexible material is silica gel, which makes it more tightly bonded
with the male connector 11, and has better watersealing performance.
[0019] Further, an outer wall of the watersealing material 3 includes a plurality of outer
folds 31, and a groove is included between each outer fold 31 and a corresponding
proximate outer fold. An outer diameter of the watersealing material 3 can be slightly
larger than an inner diameter of the male connector 11. Thus, the watersealing material
is not prone to being loosen from the male connector 11, thereby enhancing a sealing
effect. In addition, when liquid flows in from a gap 10 between the male connector
11 and the female connector 21, each outer fold 31 can prevent the liquid from flowing
into the top mount seat ring 1 or the top mount base 2. Even if part of the liquid
flows in, under ideal conditions, the liquid can be gradually blocked by the first,
second or third outer fold or the like, which increases the reliability of the watersealing
material 3. Further, an inner wall of the watersealing material 3 wrapping the electric
wire 4 includes a plurality of inner folds 32, and the inner folds 32 extend towards
connecting ends of the male connector 11 and the female connector 21. A gap between
the electric wire 4 and the watersealing material 3 can be filled with the inner folds
32 after the electric wire 4 penetrates through, the inner folds 32 can also be made
to stay at positions where they are located in the pivoting process of the top mount
seat ring 1 while fixing the electric wire 4, which prevents problems of functional
circuits of the top mount caused by abrasion or displacement of the electric wire
4 due to frequent pivoting of the seat ring.
