[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0026] With the improvement of people's living standards and consumption capacity, the popularization and development of smart technology in home life has been driven. The application of smart toilets has gradually expanded to individual families. As one of the smart home products, the smart toilet not only has conventional functions such as buttocks / female cleaning, seat heating, flushing when leaving the seat, warm air drying, etc., but also adds foot touch or foot feel control methods for the convenience of customers.

[0027] Among the existing products, the products controlled by foot touch mostly use mechanical components with high sensitivity, but most of them use technology or other materials such as plastic. When customers use them, especially at home, there is a possibility that their feet will be bumped and injured. Since the foot touch components on the market are mostly made of stainless steel and ABS materials, which are relatively hard, and most users wear slippers at home, when the toes touch these materials, there is a possibility of bumping, pain or injury due to the different strength used by each person; and the products controlled by foot feel use technologies such as infrared, capacitance or microwave, but the sensitivity of infrared is not accurate enough, and other light sources will also interfere with the normal operation of the sensor, and dark colors will absorb infrared and reduce the sensitivity of use. Due to the characteristics of the technology itself, there is a situation of low sensitivity, which may cause customers to operate multiple times; and both of the existing methods require holes to be opened on the toilet body 7 (i.e., ceramic) to install the sensing device or control components, which will affect the industrial design effect of the product and greatly reduce the overall design of the product.

[0036] In the embodiment of the present application, the first use state is a state where the user is not sitting, and the second use state is a state where the user is sitting. The first vibration sensor 4 is located in the left area of ​​the toilet body 7. When the user uses it in the first use state, he touches the first vibration sensor 4 in the left area, and then the toilet flips the lid and turns the ring, and flushes after the user finishes using it. In the embodiment of the present application, the user can also touch the first vibration sensor again, and then the toilet flushes. Specifically, the first reaction action of the present application can be to flip the lid and turn the ring, or to flip the lid and turn the ring and then touch the first vibration sensor 4 and then flush.

[0037] In the first use state, the user touches the second vibration sensor 5, then flips the lid, and the user leaves the seat after use, and the toilet performs a flushing action. In this process, it is also detected whether the user sits or leaves the seat, and is used to judge whether to flip the lid or flush.

Specifically, after the user sits down, the first touch of the first vibration sensor 4 enters the buttocks washing mode, and the second touch of the first vibration sensor 4 stops the buttocks washing mode; the first touch of the second vibration sensor 5 turns on the drying mode, and the second touch of the second vibration sensor 5 stops the drying mode; the first touch of the third vibration sensor 6 turns on the women's washing mode, and the second touch of the third vibration sensor 6 stops the women's washing mode. In other words: the third reaction action is to turn on the buttocks washing mode or stop the buttocks washing mode, the fourth reaction action is to turn on the drying mode or stop the drying mode, and the fifth reaction action is to turn on the women's washing mode or stop the women's washing mode.

[0041] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present application, the third vibration sensor 6 is located between the first vibration sensor 4 and the second vibration sensor 5, the first vibration sensor 4 is fixed to the left area of ​​the toilet body 7, and the second vibration sensor 5 is fixed to the right area of ​​the toilet body 7.

[0042] Specifically, the first vibration sensor 4, the second vibration sensor 5 and the third vibration sensor 6 can be controlled by touching one button or by touching multiple buttons. The specific positions of the vibration sensors are not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In practical applications, when the toilet is in a seated state, the toilet sensor 8 is triggered. Alternatively, it can be set to open or close one flushing function (such as buttocks washing) by touching it once, and open or close another flushing function (such as women's washing) by touching it twice.

[0046] Furthermore, the controller is used to receive control commands and control the flushing system to perform corresponding flushing functions. The flushing system includes a conventional flushing structure for performing flushing, buttocks washing or women's washing, such as a drain valve, buttocks washing nozzle and women's washing nozzle. The buttocks washing nozzle and women's washing nozzle can share a spray rod, and the switching of different flushing functions can be achieved by controlling the on-off of the water circuit.
