The control unit 122 driving the connection module 13 to perform an action may be designed as a manual operation, or may be designed as an automatic control operation by cooperating with related sensors, or a combination of manual operation and automatic operation.
[0076] In other embodiments, the control module 12 further has a first flushing control unit 123 for controlling the first flushing pipeline 152 to perform the flushing operation. In one embodiment, the first flushing control unit 123 is a control button 123 (such as Figure 1A , Figure 1B As shown in FIG. 1 ), the urinal trough 111 can be cleaned by manually operating the control button. In other embodiments, the first flushing control unit 123 can be a solenoid valve with a delayed closing function controlled by a program, so as to automatically control the first flushing pipeline 152 to perform the flushing operation in an inductive manner.
[0077] In one embodiment, the urinal 10 further comprises a toilet seat 103 (eg Figure 5A ) and a toilet cover plate 104 (such as Figure 5B ), and the control module 12 also has a second actuating unit 124a, 124b (such as Figure 1B , Figure 4B ), which is connected to the toilet cover 104 (reference Figure 2 ), and connected to the control unit 122, so as to perform actions under the control of the control unit 122, thereby driving the toilet cover 104 to open or cover the toilet seat 103.
[0078] The connection between the second actuating unit 124 and the toilet seat cover 104 can be in the form of gear connection, rack and pinion connection, worm gear connection, slider crank connection, multi-link connection, electronic clutch connection, one-way bearing connection, ratchet connection, chain gear connection, spool connection, etc. It can also be a mixed connection of two or more of the above mechanical connection forms; among which the most preferred mechanical connection form is gear and reversible one-way bearing connection.
[0079] Please refer to Figure 5E and Fig. 5F The second driving component 124 is mechanically connected to the control unit 122 via the gear component 1214. Specifically, the motor in the control unit 124 is connected to the driving gear, and the driving gear is meshed with the driven gear equipped with a reversible one-way bearing to control the movement of the second actuating unit 124, thereby driving the opening and closing of the toilet cover 104.
[0080] In addition, the control module 12 also has a sensing unit 125 (such as Figure 1B As shown in FIG. 1 ), the control unit 122 controls the first actuation unit 121 and the second actuation unit 124 to perform actions according to the sensing result of the sensing unit 125. The sensing unit 125 may be, for example, an infrared sensor, a photoelectric sensor, a pressure sensor, or an image sensor, any one or a combination of at least two of them, but is not limited thereto. Figure 1B In one embodiment, the sensing unit 125 may be a photoelectric sensor or an infrared sensor, mounted on the control module 12, for sensing whether a user is near the toilet; in another embodiment, please refer to Figure 5A The sensing unit 125 may also be a pressure sensor installed on the toilet seat 103 for sensing whether there is pressure on the toilet seat 103 , and further determining whether there is a user sitting on the toilet 10 .
[0081] In one embodiment, the sensing unit 125 is used to sense whether a user is standing in front of the toilet 10 and whether the user is standing facing the toilet 10, and output a corresponding sensing signal to the control unit 122, so that the control unit 122 controls the first actuating unit 121 to perform an action according to the sensing signal output by the sensing unit 125. For example, the sensing unit 125 may be an image sensor disposed on the toilet body 101. When the sensing unit 125 senses that the user is standing in front of the toilet 10 and the user is standing facing the toilet 10, it can be determined that the user wants to urinate in a standing position, and the control unit 122 controls the first actuating unit 121 to perform an action to move the urine receiving module 11 so that the urine receiving module is in a use position; when the sensing unit 125 senses that the user is standing in front of the toilet 10 but the user is facing away from the toilet 10, it can be determined that the user wants to urinate or defecate in a sitting position, and the control unit 12 controls the first actuating unit 121 to perform an action to move the urine receiving module 11 so that the urine receiving module 11 is in a storage position so that the user can use the toilet function normally. Preferably, the control module 12 can also control the second actuation unit 124 to perform an action according to the sensing signal output by the sensing unit 125 , so as to control the opening and closing state of the toilet seat cover 104 .
[0082] In another embodiment, the sensing unit 125 can also be used to sense whether there is pressure on the toilet seat 103 and the current open or closed state of the toilet cover 104, and output a corresponding sensing signal to the control unit so that the control unit 122 controls the first actuating unit 121 to perform an action based on the sensing signal output by the sensing unit 125. For example, in this embodiment, the sensing unit 125 may be a combination of a pressure sensor and a photoelectric sensor disposed on the toilet seat 103. When the pressure sensor 125 senses that there is no pressure on the toilet seat 103, it means that no user is currently using the toilet. If the photoelectric sensor is blocked at this time, it means that the toilet cover 104 is in a state of covering the toilet seat 103. When this state lasts for more than 5 minutes, the control unit 122 first controls the second actuating unit 124 to open the toilet cover 104, and then controls the first actuating unit 121 to perform an action to move the urine collecting module 11, so that the urine collecting module 11 is in a use position; or, when the sensing unit senses that there is no pressure on the toilet seat 103 and the toilet cover 104 is in an open state, the control unit 122 controls the first actuating unit 121 to perform an action to move the urine collecting module 11, so that the urine collecting module 11 is in a use position. This design is convenient for men to use directly when urinating, avoiding the pollution of the toilet 10 and the surrounding ground due to incorrect use. In other embodiments, the control module 12 also has a setting unit (not shown) for providing the user with a setting that the urine receiving module 11 is in the use position or the storage position in the default state.
[0083] Please refer to Fig. 8A , which is used to show another embodiment of the urinal 2 of the present application. In this embodiment, the urine receiving module 21 is directly connected to the first actuating unit 221 of the control module 22. The control unit 222 controls the first actuating unit 221 to perform an action, thereby driving the urine receiving module 21 to move relative to the toilet body 101. In this embodiment, the urine receiving module 21 is designed as a cover plate that can cover the top of the toilet bowl 102 of the toilet 10. Please refer to Fig.9A In other embodiments, the urine receiving module 21 and the toilet seat cover 404 can be combined into one (please describe in detail later).
[0084] In addition, the present application also provides a toilet device, which includes the urinal described in the above embodiments and a toilet, so that the toilet device has the functions of standing urination and toilet at the same time.
[0085] It should be noted that the urinal provided in the present application is not limited to the aforementioned form, wherein the structures and connection relationships of the components in the urinal 1 can be varied in various ways according to actual needs. The following will briefly describe several major variations in implementation methods with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0086] Please refer to Figures 6A to 6F , which is a schematic diagram showing a second embodiment of the urinal of the present application:

[0124] In summary, the urinal and toilet equipment provided by the present invention can add the function of standing urination without interfering with the sitting function of the original toilet, thereby meeting the needs of men's standing urination and effectively preventing the toilet from being contaminated by urine splashing during standing urination.
[0125] In addition, the urinal of the present application can be directly assembled onto an existing toilet for use, so as to make full use of existing resources and achieve the purpose of reducing costs. It can be applied to various types of toilets and has the characteristics of easy installation and a wide range of applications.
[0126] Furthermore, the present application can automatically control the use status of the urinal without the need for manual operation by the user, and can also adjust the setting position of the urinal according to the actual needs of the user, thereby bringing a better use experience to the user.
[0127] In the embodiment of the present application, the urinal can be arranged on one side of the existing toilet, and the urinal is only activated when the male urinates, and is moved to the top of the toilet. After use, it is stored on one side of the toilet, which does not affect the use and cleaning of the toilet.
