[0062] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of the present invention will be further explained in conjunction with embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0063] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0064] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention provides a toilet 100, which is a bathroom equipment.

[0065] The toilet 100 includes a barrel body 101 and a seat cushion 103 and a barrel cover 102 rotatably connected to the barrel body 101. The inner cavity 104 of the barrel body 101 is used to collect excrement. The inner cavity 104 has an opening (not marked in the figure). The seat cushion 103 is arranged at the opening. When the seat cushion 103 rotates relative to the barrel body 101, it rotates toward the opening or away from the opening. When the barrel cover 102 rotates relative to the barrel body 101, it covers or opens the opening.

[0066] The toilet 100 further comprises:

[0067] At least two sensing devices 105, the at least two sensing devices 105 are located in front of the barrel 101 and distributed on both sides of the front of the barrel 101;

[0068] A controller is connected to the at least two sensing devices 105 , and the controller senses a signal and controls the seat cushion 103 and / or the barrel cover 102 to rotate relative to the barrel body 101 according to a corresponding relationship between the sensing signal and the at least two sensing devices 105 .

[0069] Specifically, the toilet 100 also includes a bucket cover drive (not shown in the figure) and / or a seat cushion drive (not shown in the figure), and the bucket cover drive and / or the seat cushion drive are connected to the controller. The sensing device 105 is used to sense user signals. When the sensing device 105 detects that a user is approaching, it generates a sensing signal and sends the sensing signal to the controller. The controller sends a control instruction (such as a rotation instruction) to the bucket cover drive and / or the seat cushion drive according to the correspondence between the sensing signal and the at least two sensing devices 105, so that the bucket cover drive drives the bucket cover 102 to rotate relative to the bucket body 101, and / or the seat cushion drive drives the seat cushion 103 to rotate relative to the bucket body 101, thereby automatically opening or closing the bucket cover 102 and / or the seat cushion 103 without the need for the user to manually flip them, thereby solving the problem of requiring the user to repeatedly bend over to operate.

[0070] It should be noted that this embodiment mainly takes the opening of the seat cushion 103 and / or the barrel cover 102 as an example for explanation, and the barrel cover 102 and / or the seat cushion 103 described in this embodiment rotate relative to the barrel body 101 until they are rotated to an open state (e.g., the barrel cover 102 opens the opening, and the seat cushion 103 is away from the opening). The seat cushion 103 and / or the barrel cover 102 can be closed manually or automatically after detecting that a person has left.

[0071] It should be noted that the barrel cover driving member in this embodiment is a structure for driving the barrel cover 102 to rotate, and is not limited to a specific structure. For example, the barrel cover driving member includes a first driving motor, and the output shaft of the first driving motor is connected to the rotating shaft of the barrel cover 102, or the barrel cover driving member includes a first driving motor and a first transmission gear assembly, and the output shaft of the first driving motor is connected to the first transmission gear assembly, and the output shaft of the first transmission gear assembly is connected to the rotating shaft of the barrel cover 102. Similarly, the seat cushion driving member is a structure for driving the seat cushion 103 to rotate, and is not limited to a specific structure. For example, the seat cushion driving member includes a second driving motor, and the output shaft of the second driving motor is connected to the rotating shaft of the seat cushion 103, or the seat cushion driving member includes a second driving motor and a second transmission gear assembly, and the output shaft of the second driving motor is connected to the second transmission gear assembly, and the output end of the second rotation gear assembly is connected to the rotating shaft of the seat cushion 103. Wherein, the first transmission gear assembly and / or the second transmission gear assembly includes at least one gear.

[0072] The controller controls the seat cushion 103 and / or the barrel cover 102 to rotate relative to the barrel body 101 according to the corresponding relationship between the sensing signal and the at least two sensing devices 105, and the embodiments include but are not limited to the following:

[0073] 1. When the at least two sensing devices 105 have a one-to-one correspondence with the bucket cover 102 and the seat cushion 103, if the first sensing device corresponds to the bucket cover 102, the first sensing device senses a sensing signal and sends it to the controller, and the controller determines to control the bucket cover 102 to rotate based on the fact that the sensing signal is sent by the first sensing device; or, if the second sensing device corresponds to the seat cushion 103, the second sensing device senses a sensing signal and sends it to the controller, and the controller determines to control the seat cushion 103 to rotate based on the fact that the sensing signal is sent by the second sensing device.

[0074] 2. When there is no one-to-one correspondence between the at least two sensing devices 105 and the tub cover 102 or the seat cushion 103, the controller determines whether to control the tub cover 102 to rotate or the seat cushion 103 to rotate according to the number of times the sensing signal is sent by the at least two sensing devices 105 within a preset time interval. The sensing signal may be the sensing signal sent for the first time within the preset time interval, or it may be the sensing signal sent for the second time. The controller determines whether to control the tub cover 102 to rotate according to the sensing signal being sent for the first time by any sensing device 105 of the at least two sensing devices 105 within the preset time interval; or, the controller determines whether to control the seat cushion 103 to rotate according to the sensing signal being sent for the second time by any sensing device 105 of the at least two sensing devices 105 within the preset time interval. It is understandable that the two sensing signals within the preset time interval may be sent by the same sensing device 105, or by different sensing devices 105. In the case where the sensing signals are sent by different sensing devices 105, it is determined whether they are sent by the same sensing device 105 through the port of the sensing device 105. The preset time interval includes 0 second, that is, two sensing devices 105 can be triggered at the same time to obtain two sensing signals.

[0075] The at least two sensing devices 105 are arranged in front of the barrel body 101 and distributed on both sides of the front of the barrel body 101. The detection positions on both sides of the front of the barrel body 101 correspond to the legs of the user, and the sensing signals are generated by detecting the signals of the legs. Compared with setting the sensing device 105 at the upper rear part of the toilet 100, the setting position of the sensing device 105 described in this embodiment is not easily touched by the user by mistake, which can effectively prevent the user from accidentally touching and causing the barrel cover 102 and / or the seat cushion 103 of the toilet 100 to rotate.

[0076] Furthermore, the at least two sensing devices 105 are located on both sides of the lower front part of the barrel body 101, and the distance between this position and the legs is always greater than the distance between the sensing device 105 and the legs when the sensing device 105 is set on the upper part of the toilet 100. By setting the sensing distance of the sensing device 105, the sensing device 105 can be further prevented from being accidentally touched by the user.

[0077] More preferably, the toilet 100 described in this embodiment is provided with at least two sensing devices 105, and the at least two sensing devices 105 are arranged on both sides in front of the barrel body 101, and the controller controls the rotation of the seat cushion 103 and / or the barrel cover 102 according to the sensing signals of the at least two sensing devices 105, which can adapt to different installation scenarios, and in different installation scenarios, the toilet 100 can provide users with the most convenient and fastest triggering method, realize fast and automatic opening of the barrel cover 102 and / or the seat cushion 103, and improve usage efficiency.

[0078] As in the first installation scenario of the toilet 100, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the toilet 100 is located on the right side of the entrance to the bathroom. Based on the principle of convenience of use, the side of the barrel body 101 of the toilet 100 facing the door in front is the most convenient triggering position (taking the toilet 100 as the main body, located on the left side in front of the barrel body 101 of the toilet 100). Since the sensing device 105 is provided on both sides in front of the barrel body 101 of the toilet 100, the user can open the barrel cover 102 by triggering the sensing device 105 on the side facing the door.

[0079] For example, in the second installation scenario of the toilet 100, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the toilet 100 is located on the left side of the bathroom entrance. Based on the principle of convenience of use, the side of the barrel body 101 of the toilet 100 facing the door is the most convenient triggering position (taking the toilet 100 as the main body, located on the right side in front of the barrel body 101 of the toilet 100). Since the sensing device 105 is provided on both sides in front of the barrel body 101 of the toilet 100, the user can open the barrel cover 102 by triggering the sensing device 105 on the side facing the door.

[0080] For example, in the third installation scenario of the toilet 100, refer to Figure 5 As shown, the toilet 100 is located right in front of the bathroom entrance. At this time, at least two sensing devices 105 are set on both sides in front of the barrel body 101 of the toilet 100 to adapt to the usage habits of different people. When the user triggers any of the sensing devices 105, the barrel cover 102 can be automatically opened.

[0081] As can be seen from the above installation scenarios, the toilet 100 can provide users with the most convenient and quick triggering method in different installation scenarios, and is applicable to the installation requirements of different scenarios. In addition, the above-listed scenarios are only the installation scenarios of the toilet 100 in the scenario, and the installation scenarios of the toilet 100 include but are not limited to the above-mentioned scenarios. This embodiment is based on the fact that at least two sensing devices 105 are arranged on both sides of the front of the barrel body 101 of the toilet 100. When the user triggers any of the sensing devices 105, the barrel cover 102 is automatically opened, which meets the requirement that the sensing device 105 is located in a convenient position for triggering in different installation scenarios.

[0082] The at least two sensing devices 105 are foot sensing devices, and specifically the sensing devices 105 include any one or more combinations of infrared sensors, infrared ranging sensors, radar wave sensors or mechanical touch buttons.

[0083] In this embodiment, a sensing device 105 is provided on the toilet 100, and the automatic flipping of the bucket cover 102 and the seat cushion 103 is realized through the sensing device 105 without the need for manual flipping by the user, and at least two of the sensing devices 105 are provided on both sides in front of the toilet 100. Through the combination of sensing signals of at least two of the sensing devices 105, the toilet 100 in different installation scenarios can provide the user with the most convenient and fastest triggering method, thereby realizing fast and automatic opening of the bucket cover 102 and / or the seat cushion 103, thereby improving usage efficiency.

[0084] In addition, at least two sensing devices 105 are provided on both sides of the front of the barrel body 101 of the toilet 100, and by combining the sensing signals of the at least two sensing devices 105, the barrel cover 102 and / or the seat cushion 103 can be rotated and controlled in different usage scenarios, including but not limited to the following embodiments:

[0085] In one embodiment, the at least two sensing devices 105 are not set to their corresponding control objects, and the controller receives a sensing signal sent by one of the at least two sensing devices 105, and sends a barrel cover 102 rotation signal to the barrel cover driving component, so that the barrel cover driving component drives the barrel cover 102 to rotate relative to the barrel body 101.

[0086] When using the toilet 100, the lid 102 needs to be opened before the seat 103 can be opened. When the controller receives a sensing signal sent by any of the sensing devices 105, it sends a rotation signal to the lid driver. After receiving the rotation signal, the lid driver drives the lid 102 to rotate relative to the barrel body 101 to open the lid 102. In the use scenarios of men defecating and women defecating and urinating, different people's different requirements for the position of the sensing device 105 can be met. For example, people who are accustomed to triggering the sensing device 105 with their right foot can open the lid 102 by triggering the right sensing device 105, and people who are accustomed to triggering the sensing device 105 with their left foot can open the lid 102 by triggering the left sensing device 105 with their left foot. This is suitable for everyone.

[0087] In a further embodiment, since the seat cushion 103 is not needed in the usage scenario of men urinating, in order to prevent the seat cushion 103 from being contaminated during use, it is necessary to open the seat cushion 103 before use. This embodiment combines the sensing signals of the at least two sensing devices 105 to control the bucket cover 102 and the seat cushion 103 to open at the same time. For example, after the controller receives the sensing signal sent by one of the at least two sensing devices 105, the controller sends a rotation signal to the bucket cover driving component. After receiving the rotation signal, the bucket cover driving component drives the bucket cover 102 to rotate relative to the bucket body 101 to open the bucket cover 102. Within a preset time interval, the controller receives the sensing signal sent by another sensing device 105 of the at least two sensing devices 105, and sends a seat cushion 103 rotation signal to the seat cushion driving component, so that the seat cushion driving component drives the seat cushion 103 to rotate relative to the bucket body 101.

[0088] The controller is a control chip. Each time the control chip is awakened by a sensing signal, when the first sensing signal is received, the control chip sends a barrel cover 102 rotation signal to the barrel cover driving component, so that the barrel cover driving component drives the barrel cover 102 to rotate; within a preset time interval, when the second sensing signal is received, the seat cushion 103 rotation signal is sent to the seat cushion driving component, so that the seat cushion driving component drives the seat cushion 103 to rotate relative to the barrel body 101, so that the barrel cover 102 and the seat cushion 103 are both opened, and the male urination scene is used, eliminating the need for the user to manually turn up the seat cushion 103. After the user leaves the toilet 100, the control chip is in a dormant state, so when the control chip is awakened by the sensing signal, it is determined that the awakening sensing signal is the first sensing signal.

[0089] In this embodiment, the at least two sensing devices 105 are located on both sides of the front of the barrel body 101 of the toilet 100. In the usage scenario of men urinating, the men stand with their legs on both sides in front of the barrel body 101. Therefore, when the men stand normally to use the toilet 100, the barrel cover 102 and the seat cushion 103 can be triggered. Compared with setting the sensing device 105 on the upper back side of the toilet 100, the user needs to manually trigger the sensing device 105. The positions of the at least two sensing devices 105 in this embodiment are convenient for users to trigger, thereby realizing quick use of the toilet 100.

[0090] It is understandable that the straight-line distance between the sensing devices 105 on both sides in front of the barrel body 101 of the toilet 100 is adapted to the distance between the legs of the user when standing in front of the toilet 100. For example, the straight-line distance between the sensing devices 105 on both sides is less than or equal to 20 cm, less than or equal to 50 cm. This is convenient for the user to trigger the sensing devices 105 on both sides at the same time when standing normally.

[0091] In one embodiment, relative to the previous embodiment, this embodiment defines the at least two sensing devices 105 as primary and secondary, and the at least two sensing devices 105 include a primary sensing device 105 and a secondary sensing device 105. If the controller receives a sensing signal sent by one of the at least two sensing devices 105, and the one of the sensing devices 105 is the primary sensing device 105, the controller sends a barrel cover 102 rotation signal to the barrel cover driving member; if the one of the sensing devices 105 is the secondary sensing device 105, the controller does not respond to the sensing signal sent by the one of the sensing devices 105.

[0092] The main sensing device 105 and the secondary sensing device 105 can be set by the user through a remote control or a mobile phone. The user sets them according to different installation scenarios and different usage habits of the toilet 100. Figure 3 In the installation scenario, the user is accustomed to using the sensing device 105 facing the door side to trigger the opening of the barrel cover 102, then the sensing device 105 facing the door side can be set as the main sensing device 105; Figure 4 In the installation scenario, the user is accustomed to using the sensing device 105 facing the door side to trigger opening the barrel cover 102 , and the sensing device 105 facing the door side can be set as the main sensing device 105 .

[0093] The main sensing device 105 and the secondary sensing device 105 can also be automatically updated according to the user's usage habits. For example, the controller records the user's usage habits. When it is detected that the user uses the sensing device 105 facing the door more times, the sensing device 105 facing the door is updated to be the main sensing device 105; when it is detected that the user uses the sensing device 105 facing away from the door more times, the sensing device 105 facing away from the door is updated to be the main sensing device 105.

[0094] In this embodiment, the controller sends a rotation signal of the barrel cover 102 to the barrel cover driving member only after receiving the sensing signal sent by the main sensing device 105. When receiving the sensing signal sent by the secondary sensing device 105 (the sensing signal is the first sensing signal after the controller is awakened), the sensing signal is not responded to, that is, the rotation signal is not sent to the barrel cover driving member, so as to avoid the barrel cover 102 from opening when the sensing device 105 is accidentally touched. For example, in the installation scenario as shown in 3, the user generally enters the bathroom from the door to use the toilet, and the sensing device 105 facing the door is set as the main sensing device 105. When the user comes out of the shower room and accidentally touches the sensing device 105 facing the shower room, the sensing signal is not responded to, and the barrel cover 102 is not opened, which effectively prevents accidental touch.

[0095] In one embodiment, different from the above-mentioned embodiment, the at least two sensing devices 105 in this embodiment include a first sensing device 105 and a second sensing device 105, wherein the control object corresponding to the fixed first sensing device 105 is the bucket cover 102, and the control object corresponding to the fixed second sensing device 105 is the bucket cover 102 and the seat cushion 103. The controller receives the sensing signal sent by the first sensing device 105, and sends a bucket cover 102 rotation signal to the bucket cover driving member, so that the bucket cover driving member drives the bucket cover 102 to rotate relative to the bucket body 101; or the controller receives the sensing signal sent by the second sensing device 105, and sends a bucket cover 102 rotation signal to the bucket cover driving member, so that the bucket cover driving member drives the bucket cover 102 to rotate relative to the bucket body 101, and the controller sends a seat cushion 103 rotation signal to the seat cushion driving member, so that the seat cushion driving member drives the seat cushion 103 to rotate relative to the bucket body 101.

[0096] For example, when a lady goes to the toilet or a man defecates, they need to use the cushion 103, so they only need to trigger the first sensing device 105 to realize the automatic opening of the bucket cover 102. When a man urinates, they do not need to use the cushion 103, so they only need to trigger the second sensing device 105 to realize the simultaneous opening of the bucket cover 102 and the cushion 103.

[0097] Specific implementation method: The controller distinguishes the identifications of the first sensing device 105 and the second sensing device 105. After receiving the sensing signal, the controller determines that the sensing signal is sent by the first sensing device 105, and then sends a barrel cover 102 rotation signal to the barrel cover driving component. If it is determined that the sensing signal is sent by the second sensing device 105, it sends a barrel cover 102 rotation signal to the barrel cover driving component, and at the same time sends a rotation signal to the seat cushion driving component.

[0098] In this embodiment, the first sensing device 105 corresponds to the control object of the bucket cover 102, and the second sensing device 105 corresponds to the control object of the bucket cover 102 and the seat cushion 103. No matter the usage scenario is men urinating or men defecating and women using the toilet, only one of the sensing devices 105 needs to be triggered to meet the requirement of opening the bucket cover 102 and / or the seat cushion 103, thereby simplifying the operation process.

[0099] In one embodiment, combined with all the above embodiments, in order to prevent the user from accidentally touching the sensing device 105 and driving the seat cushion 103 to open in the use scenario of women using the toilet or men defecating, the toilet 100 also includes a sitting sensor 106 located on the seat cushion 103, and the sitting sensor 106 is connected to the controller. The controller receives the sitting signal sent by the sitting sensor 106 and controls the seat cushion 103 to maintain the current state. The sitting sensor 106 is any one or more combinations of a capacitive sensor, an infrared sensor, a gravity sensor, or a radar wave sensor.

[0100] When the user sits on the seat cushion 103, the sitting sensor 106 senses the user's sitting signal and sends the sitting signal to the controller. After receiving the sitting signal sent by the sitting sensor 106, the controller controls the seat cushion 103 to maintain the current state. In this way, when the controller receives the sensing signal from the sensing device 105, the seat cushion 103 will not flip over and open, thereby achieving self-locking of the seat cushion 103.

[0101] The specific implementation methods of the seat cushion 103 maintaining the current state include: 1. The controller does not respond to the sensing signal sent by any of the sensing devices 105, that is, when the controller receives the sensing signal sent by any of the sensing devices 105, it does not send a rotation signal to the seat cushion drive and / or the barrel cover drive. Or, 2. A self-locking device is provided on the seat cushion drive, and after the controller receives the sitting signal sent by the sitting sensor 106, it sends a self-locking signal to the self-locking device to lock the seat cushion drive. The controller receives the sensing signal sent by the sensing device 105 and sends a seat cushion 103 rotation signal to the seat cushion drive, and the seat cushion drive self-locks and does not rotate.

[0102] The toilet 100 of this embodiment controls the seat cushion 103 to maintain the current state in combination with the sensing signal of the sitting sensor 106, so as to prevent the seat cushion 103 from being accidentally turned over during use by the user.

[0103] In one embodiment, in combination with all the above embodiments, the toilet 100 also includes a heating component (not shown in the figure), the heating part of the heating component is arranged on the seat cushion 103, the heating component is connected to the controller, and the controller receives the induction signal and sends a heating signal to the heating component according to the induction signal to heat the heating component.

[0104] This embodiment is applicable to the use scenarios of women using the toilet and men defecating. In the use scenarios of women using the toilet and men defecating, since it is necessary to sit on the seat cushion 103, in order to prevent the temperature of the seat cushion 103 from being too low and causing discomfort to the user, the toilet 100 is further provided with a heating component, the heating component includes a heating part, and the heating part covers or partially covers the seat cushion 103 for heating the seat cushion 103. The controller receives the sensing signal and sends a heating signal to the heating component according to the different use scenarios of the above embodiments, so that the heating component heats the seat cushion 103 to improve the user's comfort.

[0105] Specifically, the controller receives a sensing signal sent by a sensing device 105 and does not receive a sensing signal sent by another sensing device 105 within a preset time interval, or the controller receives a sensing signal sent by a first sensing device 105. At this time, the controller sends a rotation signal to the barrel cover driving member to drive the barrel cover 102 to rotate, and at the same time sends a heating signal to the heating component to heat the seat cushion 103.

[0106] The sensing signals of the at least two sensing devices 105 are used to identify whether the current usage scenario is a woman going to the toilet or a man defecating, or a man urinating, and then the heating component is controlled according to different usage scenarios. If a woman goes to the toilet or a man defecates and needs to use the cushion 103, the cushion 103 is heated in advance to improve user comfort; if a man urinates and does not need to use the cushion 103, the cushion 103 does not need to be heated to save electricity.

[0107] In one embodiment, in combination with all the above embodiments, the toilet 100 also includes a flushing assembly (not shown in the figure), which includes a water tank and a first drain pipe and a second drain pipe connecting the water tank and the inner cavity 104 of the barrel body 101, and the diameter of the first drain pipe is larger than the diameter of the second drain pipe.

[0108] The toilet 100 in this embodiment is provided with a first drain pipe and a second drain pipe of different diameters, and different drain pipes can be used in different usage scenarios. For example, when defecating, the first drain pipe with a large diameter is used to supply water to perform a large flush on the inner cavity 104 of the toilet 100; when urinating, the second drain pipe with a small diameter is used to supply water to perform a small flush on the inner cavity 104 of the toilet 100, thereby saving water.

[0109] Further, in combination with the toilet 100 of the above-mentioned embodiments, the toilet 100 is provided with at least two sensing devices 105, and the controller of the toilet 100 can identify different usage scenarios of the toilet 100, such as men's urination, women's toilet and men's defecation, according to the sensing signals of the at least two sensing devices 105. Based on this, the first drain pipe of the toilet 100 of this embodiment is provided with a first switch valve, and the second drain pipe is provided with a second switch valve, and the first switch valve and the second switch valve are both connected to the controller. After the controller identifies that the usage scenario is women's toilet or men's defecation, it sends an opening signal to the first switch valve, and the first switch valve opens, and the first drain pipe supplies water to the inner cavity 104, and the inner cavity 104 of the toilet 100 is flushed; after the controller identifies that the usage scenario is men's urination, it sends an opening signal to the second switch valve, and the second switch valve opens, and the second drain pipe supplies water to the inner cavity 104, and the inner cavity 104 of the toilet 100 is flushed.

[0110] The toilet 100 of this embodiment combines the sensing signals of at least two sensing devices 105 to automatically flush the inner cavity 104 of the toilet 100 using a large flush or a small flush. Compared with manual flushing, this embodiment realizes intelligence and improves the user experience; compared with only being able to use a large flush, this embodiment saves water resources; compared with only using a small flush, this embodiment ensures the cleanliness and hygiene of the toilet 100.

[0111] Reference Figure 6 The present invention provides a first embodiment of a toilet control method for controlling the above toilet, wherein the above toilet comprises a barrel body, a barrel cover and a seat cushion rotatably connected to the barrel body, and at least two sensing devices are provided on both sides of the front of the barrel body. The toilet control method comprises the following steps:

[0112] Step S10, receiving a sensing signal;

[0113] Step S20, controlling the toilet lid and / or seat to rotate relative to the toilet body according to the corresponding relationship between the sensing signal and the at least two sensing devices.

[0114] This embodiment runs on a smart toilet, and may also run on a terminal such as a server and a mobile terminal. The following takes a toilet as an example to illustrate the specific implementation of the toilet control method.

[0115] The controller of the toilet is connected to the at least two sensing devices, and the sensing devices include any one or more combinations of infrared sensors, infrared distance sensors, radar wave sensors, or mechanical touch buttons. When a person approaches or triggers the sensing device, the sensing device generates a sensing signal and sends the sensing signal to the controller of the toilet. The toilet controls the toilet lid and / or seat to rotate relative to the toilet body according to the sensing signal.

[0116] When the toilet in this embodiment senses a user signal through the sensing device, the toilet lid and / or seat cushion of the toilet is automatically controlled to rotate relative to the toilet body, so as to realize automatic opening of the lid without manual flipping. At least two sensing devices are arranged in front of the toilet body, and the sensing signals of the at least two sensing devices are combined and controlled to realize different control modes of the toilet lid and / or seat cushion in different installation scenarios or different usage scenarios, so that the toilet can adapt to the requirements of a variety of different installation scenarios or a variety of different usage scenarios, and improve usage efficiency.

[0117] It should be noted that embodiments in which the controller controls the seat cushion and / or the barrel cover to rotate relative to the barrel body according to the corresponding relationship between the sensing signal and the at least two sensing devices include but are not limited to the following:

[0118] 1. When the at least two sensing devices have a one-to-one correspondence with the barrel cover and the seat cushion, if the first sensing device corresponds to the barrel cover, the first sensing device senses a sensing signal and sends it to the controller, and the controller determines to control the barrel cover to rotate based on the fact that the sensing signal is sent by the first sensing device; or, if the second sensing device corresponds to the seat cushion, the second sensing device senses a sensing signal and sends it to the controller, and the controller determines to control the seat cushion to rotate based on the fact that the sensing signal is sent by the second sensing device.

[0119] 2. When there is no one-to-one correspondence between the at least two sensing devices and the barrel cover or the seat cushion, the controller determines whether to control the barrel cover to rotate or the seat cushion to rotate according to the number of times the sensing signal is sent by the at least two sensing devices within a preset time interval. The sensing signal may be the first or second sensing signal sent within the preset time interval. The controller determines whether to control the barrel cover to rotate according to the first time the sensing signal is sent by any of the at least two sensing devices within the preset time interval; or, the controller determines whether to control the seat cushion to rotate according to the second time the sensing signal is sent by any of the at least two sensing devices within the preset time interval. It is understandable that the two sensing devices within the preset time interval may be sent by the same sensing device or by different sensing devices. In the case of sending by different sensing devices, it is determined whether they are sent by the same sensing device through the port that sends the sensing device. Wherein, the preset time interval includes 0 seconds, that is, two sensing devices can be triggered at the same time to obtain two sensing signals.

[0120] The toilet performs different actions in different installation scenarios or different usage scenarios. The toilet in this embodiment selects one or more of the above embodiments according to the attributes of the sensing signal. The attributes of the sensing signal are determined by the sensing device that sends the sensing signal. For example, the controller defines different functions of the sensing device according to different installation scenarios or usage scenarios, and the corresponding attributes of the received sensing signal are also different. The controller selects at least one action to perform according to the attributes of the sensing signal, thereby realizing flexible and intelligent control of the rotation of the toilet lid and / or seat.

[0121] Specifically, this embodiment realizes the control of the bucket cover and / or the seat cushion in different usage scenarios according to the combined control of the sensing signals of the at least two sensing devices, including but not limited to the following embodiments:

[0122] In one embodiment, Figure 7 As shown, the step of controlling the toilet lid and / or seat to rotate relative to the toilet body according to the corresponding relationship between the sensing signal and the at least two sensing devices includes:

[0123] Step S21, if no sensing signal has been received within a preset time interval before the sensing signal is received, controlling the toilet lid to rotate relative to the toilet body;

[0124] Step S22, if a sensing signal has been received within a preset time interval before the sensing signal is received, the seat of the toilet is controlled to rotate relative to the toilet body.

[0125] The at least two sensing devices are not set to their corresponding control objects. When the controller receives a sensing signal from any of the sensing devices, it controls the toilet cover and / or the seat cushion. Specifically, when the controller receives the sensing signal, it first determines whether it has received a sensing signal sent by other sensing devices before a preset time interval. If it has not been received, it means that the sensing signal currently received is the first sensing signal (the first signal triggered when the user is currently using the toilet), and the toilet cover of the toilet is controlled to rotate relative to the toilet body. If the sensing signal has been received, it means that the sensing signal currently received is the second sensing signal (the user has triggered the sensing device twice within the preset time interval), and the toilet seat cushion is controlled to rotate relative to the toilet body.

[0126] In different usage scenarios of men defecating or women using the toilet and men urinating, when men defecate or women use the toilet, they need to use a cushion. At this time, the controller only needs to control the opening of the bucket cover. When men urinate, they do not need to use a cushion. At this time, the controller needs to control the opening of the bucket cover and the cushion at the same time. This embodiment controls the opening of the bucket cover of the toilet when receiving a sensing signal sent by any sensing device, and controls the opening of the cushion of the toilet when receiving a sensing signal sent by another sensing device within a preset time interval. If a woman uses the toilet or a man defecates, at this time, only the bucket cover needs to be opened. The user only needs to trigger any of the sensing devices to send a sensing signal, and the controller only controls the opening of the bucket cover of the toilet; if a man urinates, the bucket cover and the cushion need to be opened. The user only needs to trigger the two sensing devices to send a sensing signal, and the controller controls the opening of the bucket cover and the cushion of the toilet. It can be seen that the combined control of the at least two sensing devices realizes different controls on the bucket cover and the cushion of the toilet in different scenarios, and realizes full intelligence.

[0127] In a further embodiment, if no sensing signal is received within a preset time interval before the sensing signal is received, the step of controlling the toilet lid to rotate relative to the toilet body comprises:

[0128] No sensing signal has been received within a preset time interval before the sensing signal is received, and the triggering device that triggers the sensing signal is a main sensing device, controlling the toilet lid to rotate relative to the toilet body;

[0129] Wherein, the at least two sensing devices include a primary sensing device and a secondary sensing device.

[0130] The main sensing device and the secondary sensing device can be set by the user through a remote control or a mobile phone. The user sets them according to different installation scenarios and different usage habits of the toilet, such as Figure 3In the installation scenario, the user is accustomed to using the sensing device facing the door side to trigger the opening of the barrel lid, so the sensing device facing the door side can be set as the main sensing device; Figure 4 In the installation scenario, the user is accustomed to using the sensing device facing the door side to trigger the opening of the barrel lid, and the sensing device facing the door side can be set as the main sensing device.

[0131] The primary sensing device and the secondary sensing device may also be automatically updated according to the user's usage habits. For example, when the controller records the user's usage habits and detects that the user uses the sensing device facing the door more frequently, the sensing device facing the door is updated to be the primary sensing device; when the controller detects that the user uses the sensing device facing away from the door more frequently, the sensing device facing away from the door is updated to be the primary sensing device.

[0132] In this embodiment, after the toilet receives the sensing signal, and has not received the sensing signal within the preset time interval before receiving the sensing signal, and the triggering device that triggers the sensing signal is the main sensing device, the toilet lid is controlled to rotate relative to the toilet body, and by limiting the main and secondary of the sensing device, the sensing signal is responded to only when the main sensing device is triggered, and the main sensing device is set on the side that is easy for the user to touch when using the toilet, and the secondary sensing device is set on the side that is easy to trigger when not using the toilet, so as to accurately prevent the toilet lid from opening when the user accidentally touches the sensing device. In the installation scenario of 3, the user generally enters the bathroom from the door to use the toilet, and the side facing the door is convenient for the user to trigger, and the sensing device facing the door is set as the main sensing device, and the user comes out of the shower room and is easy to accidentally touch the sensing device facing the shower room. The sensing device on the side facing the shower room is set as the secondary sensing device. When the main sensing device is not triggered, when the secondary sensing device is triggered, the controller does not respond to the sensing signal, and the lid does not open, effectively preventing accidental touch.

[0133] It is understandable that the main sensing device and the secondary sensing device can be set according to user needs or according to user usage habits, and the at least two sensing devices can be arbitrarily set in different installation scenarios of the toilet to suit different installation scenarios.

[0134] In one embodiment, if Figure 8 As shown, the step of controlling the toilet lid and / or seat to rotate relative to the toilet body according to the corresponding relationship between the sensing signal and the at least two sensing devices includes:

[0135] Step S23, obtaining a triggering device for the sensing signal;

[0136] Step S24, if the trigger device is a first sensing device, controlling the toilet lid to rotate relative to the toilet body;

[0137] Step S25, if the trigger device is a second sensing device, controlling the toilet lid and seat to rotate relative to the toilet body;

[0138] Wherein, the at least two sensing devices include a first sensing device and a second sensing device.

[0139] In this embodiment, the at least two sensing devices are provided with corresponding control objects, such as the sensing signal of the first sensing device is used to control the rotation of the barrel cover, and the sensing signal of the second sensing device is used to control the rotation of the barrel cover and the seat cushion.

[0140] For example, when a lady uses the toilet or a man defecates, they need to use a cushion, so they only need to trigger the first sensing device to automatically open the lid. When a man urinates, he does not need a cushion, so he only needs to trigger the second sensing device to open the lid and the cushion at the same time.

[0141] After receiving the sensing signal, the controller obtains the triggering device of the sensing signal, wherein the triggering device is the device that sends the sensing signal, such as the at least two sensing devices. It is determined whether the triggering device is the first sensing device or the second sensing device. If the triggering device is the first sensing device, it is determined that the toilet lid is to be controlled to be opened, and the controller controls the toilet lid to rotate relative to the barrel body. If the triggering device is the second sensing device, it is determined that the toilet lid and seat are to be controlled to be opened, and the controller controls the toilet lid and seat to rotate relative to the barrel body.

[0142] Specifically, when the first sensing device sends the sensing signal to the controller of the toilet, the identification information of the first sensing device, such as an identification code or address, is attached. The controller determines that the trigger device that sends the sensing signal is the first sensing device based on the identification information, and then controls the toilet lid to rotate relative to the barrel body. Similarly, when the second sensing device sends the sensing signal to the controller of the toilet, the identification information of the second sensing device is attached. The controller determines that the trigger device that sends the sensing signal is the first sensing device based on the identification information, and then controls the toilet lid and seat to rotate relative to the barrel body.

[0143] In this embodiment, the first sensing device fixed on the barrel cover controls the barrel cover, and the second sensing device controls the barrel cover and the seat cushion, thereby realizing different controls on the barrel cover and the seat cushion of the toilet in different usage scenarios. At the same time, no matter whether it is the usage scenario of men urinating or men defecating and women going to the toilet, only one of the sensing devices needs to be triggered to meet the requirement of opening the barrel cover and / or the seat cushion, thereby simplifying the operation process.

[0144] In the use scenario of women using the toilet or men defecating, the user sits on the cushion and may accidentally touch the sensing device. In order to prevent the controller from controlling the cushion to rotate when the sensing device is accidentally touched, this embodiment proposes another embodiment of the control method of the toilet, referring to Fig. 9 After the step of controlling the toilet lid to rotate relative to the toilet body, the toilet control method further includes:

[0145] Step S30, receiving a sitting signal, wherein the sitting signal is detected by a sitting sensor disposed on the seat cushion;

[0146] Step S40, controlling the seat cushion to remain in the current state.

[0147] Wherein, the sitting sensor is any one or more combinations of a capacitive sensor, an infrared sensor, a gravity sensor or a radar wave sensor.

[0148] When the user sits on the seat cushion, the sitting sensor senses the user's sitting signal and sends the sitting signal to the controller. After receiving the sitting signal sent by the sitting sensor, the controller controls the seat cushion to maintain the current state. In this way, when the controller receives the sensing signal from the sensing device, the seat cushion will not flip over and open, thereby achieving self-locking of the seat cushion.

[0149] The specific implementation method of maintaining the current state of the seat cushion includes: 1. The controller does not respond to the sensing signal sent by any of the sensing devices, that is, when the controller receives the sensing signal sent by any of the sensing devices, it does not control the rotation of the barrel cover and / or the seat cushion. 2. A self-locking device is provided on the seat cushion drive member. After the controller receives the sitting signal sent by the sitting sensor, it controls the self-locking device to self-lock and lock the seat cushion drive member of the seat cushion. In this way, even if the user triggers the sensing device and the controller controls the seat cushion drive member to rotate, the seat cushion drive member self-locks and cannot rotate, so the seat cushion remains in the current state.

[0150] The toilet of this embodiment combines the sensing signal of the sitting sensor to control the seat cushion to maintain the current state, so as to prevent the seat cushion from being accidentally turned over during use by the user.

[0151] Reference Fig.10In another embodiment, based on the above embodiment, different usage scenarios of the toilet can be identified by combining the sensing signals of at least two sensing devices. This embodiment controls other functions of the toilet according to different usage scenarios. For example, after the step of controlling the toilet lid to rotate relative to the toilet body, the toilet control method further includes:

[0152] Step S50, starting the heating component of the toilet or increasing the heating power of the heating component of the toilet, wherein the heating part of the heating component is arranged on the seat cushion.

[0153] The toilet has the function of heating the seat cushion. This embodiment is suitable for use scenarios where women go to the toilet and men defecate. In the use scenarios where women go to the toilet and men defecate, since it is necessary to sit on the seat cushion, in order to prevent the temperature of the seat cushion from being too low and causing discomfort to the user, the toilet is also provided with a heating component, which includes a heating part, and the heating part covers or partially covers the seat cushion for heating the seat cushion. The controller receives the induction signal and sends a heating signal to the heating component according to the different use scenarios of the above embodiments, so that the heating component heats the seat cushion to improve the user's comfort.

[0154] Specifically, the controller receives a sensing signal sent by a sensing device and does not receive a sensing signal sent by another sensing device within a preset time interval, or the controller receives a sensing signal sent by a first sensing device. At this time, the controller only controls the rotation of the toilet cover and determines that it is a usage scenario for women to use the toilet or men to defecate, and the seat cushion needs to be heated. Therefore, after controlling the toilet cover to rotate relative to the toilet body, the controller starts the heating component of the toilet or increases the heating power of the heating component of the toilet to heat the seat cushion.

[0155] In this embodiment, the situations in which the seat cushion is heated include at least the following two situations: when the heating part on the seat cushion is in a normally closed state, after the toilet lid is controlled to rotate relative to the toilet body, the heating component of the toilet is started to start heating the heating part of the heating component. Alternatively, the heating part on the seat cushion is in a low-power heating state, at which time the temperature on the seat cushion is low. After the toilet lid is controlled to rotate relative to the toilet body, in order to increase the temperature on the seat cushion, the heating power of the heating component is increased to make the temperature of the seat cushion rise rapidly. Compared with the seat cushion needing to maintain the heating state for a long time, this embodiment plays an energy-saving role; and compared with heating the seat cushion after the user sits on the seat cushion, the preheating of this embodiment can make the user reach the required temperature when sitting on the seat cushion, thereby improving the comfort.

[0156] The sensing signals of the at least two sensing devices are used to identify whether the current usage scenario is a woman going to the toilet or a man defecating, or a man urinating, and then the heating component is controlled according to different usage scenarios. If a woman goes to the toilet or a man defecates and needs to use a cushion, the cushion is heated in advance to improve user comfort; if a man urinates and does not need to use a cushion, the cushion does not need to be heated to save electricity.

[0157] In a further embodiment, after the step of controlling the toilet lid to rotate relative to the toilet body, the toilet control method further includes:

[0158] Obtaining the ambient temperature of the space where the toilet is located;

[0159] When the ambient temperature is less than or equal to a first preset temperature, the step of starting the heating component of the toilet or increasing the heating power of the heating component of the toilet is performed.

[0160] Among them, the first preset temperature is the critical value of the comfort range of the user sitting on the seat cushion. The first preset temperature is close to the body surface temperature of the user. If the ambient temperature is less than or equal to the first preset temperature, it means that the current temperature of the seat cushion is low, and the seat cushion needs to be heated to improve the comfort of the user when using the seat cushion. If the ambient temperature is greater than the first preset temperature, it means that the current temperature of the seat cushion is high, and the seat cushion does not need to be heated to save electricity.

[0161] It can be understood that the ambient temperature can be the temperature detected at any position in the space where the toilet is located, and can also be detected on the seat cushion, such as by providing a temperature sensor on the surface of the seat cushion to directly detect the surface temperature of the seat cushion to improve the accuracy of the judgment.

[0162] Reference Fig.11 In another embodiment, based on the above embodiment, different usage scenarios of the toilet can be identified by combining the sensing signals of at least two sensing devices. This embodiment controls other functions of the toilet according to different usage scenarios. For example, after the step of controlling the toilet cover and seat to rotate relative to the toilet body, the toilet control method further includes:

[0163] Step S60, controlling the second switch valve on the second drain pipe of the toilet to open, wherein the diameter of the second drain pipe is smaller than the diameter of the first drain pipe of the toilet.

[0164] The toilet in this embodiment includes a flushing assembly, which includes a water tank and a first drain pipe and a second drain pipe connecting the water tank and the inner cavity of the barrel body, and the diameter of the first drain pipe is larger than the diameter of the second drain pipe.

[0165] The toilet is provided with a first drain pipe and a second drain pipe of different diameters, and different drain pipes can be used in different usage scenarios. For example, when defecating, the first drain pipe with a large diameter is used to supply water to perform a large flush on the inner cavity of the toilet; when urinating, the second drain pipe with a small diameter is used to supply water to perform a small flush on the inner cavity of the toilet, thereby saving water.

[0166] The toilet is provided with at least two sensing devices, and the controller of the toilet can identify different usage scenarios of the toilet, such as men's urination, women's toilet and men's defecation, etc., according to the sensing signals of the at least two sensing devices. Based on this, the first drain pipe of the toilet in this embodiment is provided with a first switch valve, and the second drain pipe is provided with a second switch valve, and the first switch valve and the second switch valve are both connected to the controller. The sensing signals of the at least two sensing devices are combined to determine whether the usage scenario is women's toilet or men's defecation, and the toilet cover is controlled to rotate relative to the toilet body, and after detecting that the user leaves, the first switch valve is controlled to open, and the first drain pipe supplies water to the inner cavity to perform a large flush on the inner cavity of the toilet; the sensing signals of the at least two sensing devices are combined to determine whether the usage scenario is men's urination, and the toilet cover and seat cushion are controlled to rotate relative to the toilet body, and after detecting that the user leaves, the second switch valve is controlled to open, and the second drain pipe supplies water to the inner cavity to perform a small flush on the inner cavity of the toilet.

[0167] The toilet of this embodiment combines the sensing signals of at least two sensing devices to automatically flush the inner cavity of the toilet using a large flush or a small flush. Compared with manual flushing, this embodiment realizes intelligence and improves the user experience; compared with only being able to use a large flush, this embodiment saves water resources; compared with only using a small flush, this embodiment ensures the cleanliness and hygiene of the toilet.
