[0043] As a smart home device, smart toilets are popular with users for their automatic flushing and warm air drying features. After use, they can be cleansed by spraying water, and flushing is a core function of smart toilets. Beyond daily use, smart toilets offer different cleaning functions to enhance the user experience for users of different genders. Furthermore, patients with hip discomfort or those undergoing surgery may also require a smart toilet for affected area flushing. The cleaning control method for the smart toilet provided in this embodiment can provide appropriate cleaning modes based on the user's specific needs.

[0044] Figure 1 The figure shows a flow chart of a cleaning control method of an intelligent toilet proposed in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0045] S110, receiving a control instruction for the smart toilet, and determining a cleaning mode to be executed by the smart toilet according to the control instruction.

[0046] Specifically, the user can control the smart toilet through a remote controller or an application on a mobile terminal. By issuing a control instruction, the smart toilet executes a cleaning mode to be executed.

[0047] As an optional embodiment, the types of cleaning modes include a user cleaning mode and a body cleaning mode.

[0048] The user cleaning mode refers to a mode that provides a cleaning function for the user. Furthermore, the user cleaning mode includes a variety of cleaning modes that do not provide a cleaning effect.

[0049] The main body cleaning mode refers to the mode for cleaning the smart toilet body.

[0050] After receiving a control instruction for the smart toilet, the type of cleaning mode to be executed by the smart toilet is determined according to the control instruction, and the cleaning mode to be executed is matched according to the type of cleaning mode.

[0051] S120, determining each cleaning stage of the cleaning mode, and controlling the smart toilet to switch to the working water source used in the cleaning stage at the execution node of each cleaning stage, where the type of working water source used in each cleaning stage is different.

[0052] Specifically, the cleaning mode consists of a plurality of cleaning stages in a sequential order, and the execution node in each cleaning stage controls the smart toilet to switch to the working water source used in the cleaning stage.

[0053] It should be noted that the main body of the control method of the smart toilet in this embodiment is a smart toilet. The water inlet of the smart toilet has multiple water inlet channels, each of which provides a different type of working water source. The water inlet channels are switched by valves to change the type of water source transmitted by the cleaning pipe.

[0054] In order to improve the cleaning hygiene of smart toilets, different types of working water sources are combined in the entire cleaning mode, so that different types of working water sources correspond to different functions in the cleaning stages, further improving the cleaning hygiene and improving the user experience of smart toilets to a certain extent.

[0055] As an optional implementation, the execution node of the first cleaning stage of the cleaning mode switches the working water source of the smart toilet to the working water source used in the cleaning stage, and the execution node of the next cleaning stage switches the working water source of the smart toilet to the working water source used in the cleaning stage.

[0056] The execution node is the time point when each cleaning stage starts to execute.

[0057] Alternatively, in the execution node of the first cleaning stage of the cleaning mode, the working water source of the smart toilet is switched to the working water source used in the cleaning stage. After the cleaning operation of the first cleaning stage is completed, the working water source of the smart toilet is switched to the working water source used in the next cleaning stage.

[0058] Therefore, the node for switching the working water source may not coincide with the execution node of each cleaning stage.

[0059] S130, controlling the smart toilet to perform the cleaning operation corresponding to the cleaning stage at the execution node of each cleaning stage.

[0060] Specifically, the smart toilet is controlled to perform a cleaning operation corresponding to the cleaning stage at an execution node in each cleaning stage.

[0061] The cleaning operation includes controlling the water spraying time and the water spraying shape, and further changing the water temperature.

[0062] The component that performs the cleaning operation is the spray gun component in the smart toilet. By controlling the working mode of the spray gun component, the water spray shape is changed to adjust the cleaning force and improve the cleaning effect.

[0063] In this embodiment, a heater may be provided to heat the working water source to a certain temperature before spraying it out from the spray gun assembly, thereby improving the user's cleaning experience.

[0064] S140: After all cleaning operations in the cleaning stages are completed, a cleaning completion reminder is issued.

[0065] Specifically, after the cleaning operations of all cleaning stages are completed, a cleaning completion reminder is issued.

[0066] As an optional implementation, after all cleaning stages are completed, the smart toilet can be controlled to perform a drying function.

[0067] In this embodiment, a control instruction for a smart toilet is received, and based on the control instruction, a cleaning mode to be executed by the smart toilet is determined. The various cleaning phases of the cleaning mode are determined, and at the execution node of each cleaning phase, the smart toilet is controlled to switch to the working water source used in the cleaning phase. The working water source used in each cleaning phase is different. The smart toilet is also controlled to perform the cleaning operation corresponding to the cleaning phase at the execution node of each cleaning phase. Based on this, the cleaning operation is combined with the working water source to provide different cleaning effects for each cleaning phase. By providing different cleaning modes, controlling the smart toilet to switch the working water source to the cleaning mode, and executing the cleaning operation corresponding to the cleaning mode, the various cleaning phases are combined into cleaning modes with specific cleaning effects. This can meet the user's needs to a certain extent and further improve the user experience of the smart toilet.

[0068] Furthermore, S110, receiving a control instruction for the smart toilet, and determining a cleaning mode to be executed by the smart toilet according to the control instruction, including:

[0069] S111, determining whether the cleaning mode to be executed includes a custom function, where the custom function is used for the user to customize the type of working water source.

[0070] S113: If the cleaning mode to be executed includes a custom function, a reminder is generated and user feedback based on the custom function is obtained.

[0071] Specifically, a custom function is set for the cleaning mode. The user can select the working water source to be used for the cleaning mode to be executed according to the custom function.

[0072] For example, a smart toilet is pre-set with multiple water inlet channels, each of which provides a type of working water source, and one water inlet channel is provided for the user to connect to the working water source by himself.

[0073] If it is detected that the cleaning mode includes a custom function, a reminder is generated to remind the user to connect to a working water source and obtain user feedback based on the custom function.

[0074] In this embodiment, a custom function is set in the cleaning mode. When the user uses the smart toilet, the cleaning mode can be customized. The user can select the working water source according to his or her own usage intention. The user can select the working water source on the premise of meeting the user's cleaning needs, rather than selecting the preset working water source, which improves the user experience of the smart toilet to a certain extent.

[0075] Furthermore, the cleaning phase includes multiple cleaning programs executed in a preset order, and the smart toilet is controlled to perform the cleaning operation corresponding to the cleaning phase at the execution node of each cleaning phase, including:

[0076] Execute multiple cleaning programs of the cleaning mode according to a preset sequence, and control the smart toilet to perform cleaning operations corresponding to the sequence of the cleaning programs.

[0077] Specifically, each cleaning stage includes at least one cleaning procedure. When there are more than one cleaning procedures, each cleaning procedure is executed in a preset order.

[0078] Each cleaning program uses the same working water source, but the water spraying operation is different for each cleaning program.

[0079] Exemplarily, the cleaning phase A includes a cleaning procedure A1 and a cleaning procedure A2. The cleaning phase A uses a working water source A, so the working water source of both the cleaning procedure A1 and the cleaning procedure A2 is the working water source A.

[0080] The default order of the cleaning phase A is to first perform the cleaning procedure A1 and then perform the cleaning procedure A2.

[0081] The cleaning operation of the cleaning procedure A1 is to use the working water source A to clean according to the first water shape for the first preset time period; the cleaning operation of the cleaning procedure A2 is to use the working water source A to clean according to the second water shape for the second preset time period.

[0082] The second preset time period may be the same as or different from the first preset time period.

[0083] The first water shape and the second water shape can be adjusted by differences including but not limited to water pressure and water outlet position.

[0084] After the cleaning procedures A1 and A2 are completed, the cleaning phase A is completed.

[0085] In this embodiment, each cleaning stage is divided into at least one cleaning procedure, and different cleaning operations are performed in each cleaning procedure to further refine the cleaning effect that can be achieved in each cleaning stage and further improve the cleaning effect of each cleaning stage.

[0086] Furthermore, a drying phase is included between the cleaning phases, and the smart toilet is controlled to perform the cleaning operation corresponding to the cleaning phase at the execution node of each cleaning phase, including:

[0087] After the cleaning operation of the current cleaning stage is completed, if the next process stage is the drying stage, the smart toilet is controlled to perform the drying operation.

[0088] Specifically, depending on the cleaning mode, a drying stage can be set between the cleaning stages. The drying stage is executed after the previous cleaning stage is completed. The drying stage is used to dry the user's skin after cleaning. When the drying stage is completed, the next cleaning stage is executed.

[0089] Optionally, the cleaning mode may include at least one drying stage, which is arranged between the two cleaning stages.

[0090] Exemplarily, a cleaning mode includes a first cleaning stage, a second cleaning stage, a third cleaning stage, a first drying stage and a second drying stage; the first drying stage is arranged between the first cleaning stage and the second cleaning stage, and the second drying stage is arranged between the second cleaning stage and the third cleaning stage; after the first cleaning stage is completed, the first drying stage is executed, and after the first drying stage is completed, the second cleaning stage is executed; after the second cleaning stage is completed, the second drying stage is executed, and after the second drying stage is completed, the third cleaning stage is executed.

[0091] The drying operations of the first drying stage and the second drying stage are different, and the drying operations include but are not limited to drying time, drying wind speed and drying temperature.

[0092] In this embodiment, a drying stage is provided to dry the user's skin after washing, which can improve the user's experience to a certain extent when the temperature is low.

[0093] Furthermore, each cleaning stage of the cleaning mode is determined, and at the execution node of each cleaning stage, the smart toilet is controlled to switch to the working water source used in the cleaning stage, including:

[0094] After determining each cleaning stage of the cleaning mode, a flow detection signal is obtained, and the flow detection signal is used to define the flow of the working water source.

[0095] If the flow detection signal indicates that the working water flow is too low, the current cleaning mode is stopped.

[0096] Specifically, after determining each cleaning stage of the cleaning mode, the working water source used in each cleaning stage is determined, the flow rate of each working water source is detected, and a flow rate detection signal is obtained.

[0097] The flow detection signal is used to indicate whether the working water source is sufficient to support subsequent cleaning operations. By detecting the working water source and returning a flow detection signal, if the flow detection signal indicates that the working water source flow is too low, the current cleaning mode is stopped.

[0098] As an optional embodiment, when the working water source flow rate is detected to be too low, the current cleaning mode is stopped and a reminder of the low working water source flow rate is issued to remind the user to replenish the working water source. In this embodiment, before the cleaning mode is executed, the flow rate of the working water source used in the cleaning mode is first detected to see if it meets the requirements for executing the cleaning mode. If the flow rate of the working water source is too low or the water supply is insufficient, the cleaning mode is stopped to avoid the user encountering a situation where the working water source is insufficient during use.

[0099] Furthermore, with respect to the control instruction of the smart toilet, determining the cleaning mode to be executed by the smart toilet according to the control instruction includes:

[0100] Determine the object type of the cleaning mode to be executed by the smart toilet.

[0101] According to the object type, the smart toilet is controlled to switch to the working water source corresponding to the object type.

[0102] Specifically, the object type of the cleaning mode to be executed by the smart toilet refers to the object of the cleaning operation, that is, the user or the smart toilet body.

[0103] According to the above solution, different types of cleaning modes are set according to the type of objects of the cleaning mode. For users, a user cleaning mode is set; for the smart toilet body, a body cleaning mode is set.

[0104] As an optional implementation, after determining the object type of the cleaning mode to be executed by the smart toilet, cleaning mode types for different object types are added again.

[0105] For different object types, the cleaning mode corresponds to different working water sources.

[0106] For example, for users, the type of working water source can be tap water, purified water, saline or care solution; for the smart toilet body, the type of working water source can be tap water, detergent, etc.

[0107] As an optional embodiment, the user cleaning mode includes a standard mode, a care mode and a female cleaning mode.

[0108] Figure 2 It shows a control flow diagram when the user cleaning mode is the standard mode.

[0109] The standard mode includes a first cleaning stage, a second cleaning stage, and a third cleaning stage.

[0110] First, the first cleaning stage is performed. The working water source used in the first cleaning stage is the first working water source. The first cleaning stage includes two cleaning procedures. First, the first time period is cleaned with the first water type, and then the second time period is cleaned with the second water type.

[0111] After the first water source is switched to the second water source, the second cleaning phase is performed. The cleaning operation of the second cleaning phase is self-cleaning.

[0112] In the aforementioned steps, the spray gun assembly performs the cleaning operation, and in the second cleaning stage, the spray gun assembly is retracted to perform a self-cleaning operation.

[0113] The standard mode includes a drying phase, in which warm air is used for drying, and the drying time is the third time period.

[0114] At this point, the standard mode process ends.

[0115] For example, the first time period is set to 30 seconds, the second time period is set to 20 seconds, and the third time period is set to 180 seconds.

[0116] Among them, the first working water source is tap water, and the second working water source is purified water, which can be bottled purified water, barreled purified water, natural mineral water, drinking natural water, direct drinking water or whole-house soft water, etc.

[0117] Figure 3 It shows a control flow diagram when the user's cleaning mode is the care mode.

[0118] In the first cleaning stage of the care mode, the working water source is switched to the second working water source;

[0119] In the first cleaning stage, the first time period is cleaned with the first water type; then the first time period is cleaned with the second water type;

[0120] The first time period is set to 30 seconds.

[0121] Entering the first drying stage, drying with warm air at a high air volume;

[0122] Entering the second cleaning stage, the second working water source is switched to the third working water source, and cleaning is carried out for the second time period with the second water shape and the minimum water pressure gear.

[0123] Optionally, in the second cleaning stage, the liquid output from the second working water source may be heated, or the cleaning time may be adjusted according to user needs.

[0124] After the second cleaning stage is completed, the second drying stage begins, using warm air at a low speed for drying.

[0125] At this point, the nursing model process ends.

[0126] Among them, the second time period can be set to 15S, and the third working water source can be physiological saline or nursing solution.

[0127] During this process, a flow sensor is provided to detect the flow of the third working water source. If no physiological saline or nursing solution is detected, the cleaning process is canceled.

[0128] Figure 4 It shows a control flow diagram when the user's cleaning mode is the female cleaning mode.

[0129] Entering the first cleaning stage, switch to the second working water source, clean the first time period with the first water shape, and then clean the first time period with the second water shape.

[0130] Enter the second cleaning stage, switch to the first working water source, and perform the toilet flushing operation.

[0131] Enter the drying stage, dry with warm air, and the drying time is the second time period.

[0132] At this point, the female cleaning mode process ends.

[0133] Figure 5 FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the smart toilet provided in this embodiment. Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a smart toilet, including:

[0134] The water source combination valve 510 includes multiple water inlet channels, each of which is used to provide working water sources for different purposes.

[0135] The heating component 520 is connected to the output end of the water source combination valve and is used to heat the working water source output by the water source combination valve and perform a drying operation.

[0136] The spray gun assembly 530 has one end connected to the heating assembly and is used to perform a water spraying operation according to a preset program.

[0137] The controller 540 is configured to perform the following steps:

[0138] A control instruction for the smart toilet is received, and a cleaning mode to be executed by the smart toilet is determined according to the control instruction.

[0139] If the cleaning mode is the user cleaning mode, the water source combination valve is controlled to switch the water inlet channels of different water sources at a preset time node.

[0140] When it is detected that the water source combination valve 510 is switched, the spray gun assembly is controlled to perform a water spraying operation corresponding to the current preset time node.

[0141] As an optional implementation, the body cleaning mode includes a spray gun cleaning mode and a scale removal mode.

[0142] Furthermore, the spray gun assembly includes a nozzle unit and a spray bar unit, the nozzle unit includes a plurality of water outlet holes, and the controller is further configured to perform the following steps:

[0143] If the cleaning mode is the spray gun cleaning mode, the water source combination valve is controlled to switch to the water inlet channel for executing the spray gun cleaning mode.

[0144] Control the movement of the nozzle unit and aim at the spray boom unit to perform water spraying operations.

[0145] After the operation of controlling the movement of the nozzle unit is completed, the nozzle unit is controlled to control each water outlet to perform a water spraying operation according to a preset sequence.

[0146] Exemplarily, the nozzle unit is provided with 5 water outlet holes. First, the first water outlet hole is controlled to spray water, and the other water outlet holes are not controlled to spray water; then the second water outlet hole is controlled to spray water, and the other water outlet holes are not controlled to spray water, and so on.

[0147] The water spraying order of the water outlet holes can be in clockwise order, counterclockwise order, or in a preset order.

[0148] Furthermore, the smart toilet also includes a water pump, and the controller is further configured to perform the following steps:

[0149] If the cleaning mode is the scale removal mode, the water source combination valve is controlled to switch to the water inlet channel for executing the scale removal mode.

[0150] Specifically, the working water source of the water inlet channel in the scale removal mode may be a scale remover, specifically a citric acid descaling agent or the like.

[0151] The working water source of the water inlet channel is pumped into the water pipeline, and the water pump is controlled to run for a preset time according to a preset cycle. After the preset time, the water source combination valve is controlled to switch the water inlet channel and the nozzle assembly is controlled to perform the water spraying operation.

[0152] The liquid provided by the water inlet channel is pumped into the water pipe to keep the water pipe filled with the corresponding working water source liquid.

[0153] And control the water pump to start replenishing the working water source liquid according to the preset cycle.

[0154] The preset cycle is set to start for 1 second and then stop for 30 seconds. The running time of the water pump is timed. After reaching the preset time, it switches to the second working water source, starts the water pump to clean the water pipes, and rotates the nozzle unit to clean each water outlet separately.

[0155] Furthermore, after controlling the water pump to run for a preset period of time according to a preset cycle, the method further includes:

[0156] Adjust the water pressure gear of the water pump and flush the water pipes according to the water pressure of the first gear and the second gear.

[0157] The liquid in the water inlet channel is heated by the heating component, and the heated liquid is pumped into the water inlet channel.
