[0025] An induction toilet structure, the induction toilet structure includes: a seat ring 12 that can be automatically flipped and an upper cover 11 that can be automatically flipped;

[0026] The induction toilet structure further includes:

[0027] A microwave sensor 13, which is used to detect a human body approaching the toilet body 10 and control the flipping of the upper cover 11 according to the proximity signal, so that the user can directly use the toilet at this time; it is further used for: detecting a human body leaving the toilet body 10 and controlling the upper cover 11 to close after the toilet body 10 flushes or sequentially closing the seat ring 12 and the upper cover 11 according to the leaving signal, so as to prevent the user from forgetting to flush and forgetting to cover the toilet lid;

[0028] A laser sensor 16 is installed at the bottom of the seat ring 12. The laser sensor 16 controls the flushing of the toilet body 10 according to the signal and flips down the seat ring 12. The control signal includes the action when the seat ring 12 flips down.

[0029] A remote microwave controller is used to control the lifting and closing of the seat ring 12 according to the control signal, which can prevent the user's hand from touching the seat ring 12 during the use of the toilet and ensure the cleanliness of the hand. In some application scenarios, such as when a male user needs to urinate, the lifting operation of the seat ring 12 can be performed through the remote microwave controller.

[0030] Preferably, the microwave sensor 13 is a microwave sensor, which is arranged at the center of the front end of the toilet body 10. The detection direction of the microwave sensor is directly in front of the toilet body 10. By setting the induction threshold of the microwave sensor, it can effectively distinguish whether the object approaching the toilet 10 is a human body, effectively avoiding misjudgment;

[0031] Preferably, the microwave sensor 13 can also be a laser sensor, which is arranged at the center of the front end of the toilet body 10. The infrared ray direction of the laser sensor is directly in front of the toilet body 10. The laser sensor can measure without contacting the target object, effectively avoiding the problems of wear and pollution caused by contact. This non-contact measurement method not only improves the service life and reliability of the sensor, but also the laser sensor has high sensitivity and fast response speed, and can quickly capture the approach or departure of the target object. At the same time, the laser sensor has strong anti-interference ability and can work stably under complex environmental conditions. Whether it is light change, temperature fluctuation or electromagnetic interference, the laser sensor can maintain high measurement accuracy and stability to ensure the normal operation of the system.

[0032] Preferably, the microwave sensor 13 can also be an acoustic wave sensor, which is arranged at the center of the front end of the toilet body 10. The detection direction of the acoustic wave sensor is directly in front of the toilet body 10, and the detection range is a fan-shaped area centered on the toilet body 10. The acoustic wave sensor is not restricted by the lighting conditions: the ultrasonic sensor can be used in any lighting environment, including indoor, outdoor and complex ambient light conditions, etc., and can work reliably. And the acoustic wave sensor is not sensitive to soot, color and transparency, which can effectively reduce the possibility of misjudgment.

[0033] Based on the above structure, the remote microwave controller includes a remote control 15 and a receiver 14 that receives the control signal of the remote control 15; the receiver 14 is installed on the toilet body 10 and is used to receive the microwave signal from the remote control 15 to control the seat ring 12 to lift. Lifting the seat ring 12 through the remote control 15 can avoid the user's hand directly contacting the seat ring 12, which is more convenient for users who are demanding about the hand hygiene conditions.

[0034] At the same time, a seat ring heater is arranged inside the seat ring 12. The remote control 15 is further used to send an on signal to the receiver 14 to turn on the seat ring heater. Then, when the microwave sensor 13 detects that the human body leaves the toilet 10, the seat ring heater is turned off to avoid fire.

[0035] The remote control 15 is further used to send a secondary flushing signal to the receiver 14 through microwave. The receiver 14 controls the toilet body 10 to perform secondary flushing according to the secondary flushing signal, eliminating the need to walk near the toilet 10 to flush, which provides convenience in use.

[0036] An embodiment of the present utility model further provides an intelligent toilet, and the intelligent toilet adopts the above-mentioned induction toilet structure.

[0037] The operation steps and usage scenarios of the above-mentioned intelligent toilet are as follows:

[0038] Step 1: When a person approaches the toilet, the microwave sensor detects the approach of the person and opens the upper cover;

[0039] Step 2: In the first case, if the user does not need to use the seat ring, the seat ring is flipped up through the remote control, and the flushing sensor enters the working state. Then, enter Step 3: After the user finishes using the toilet and directly leaves the toilet body, the microwave sensor recognizes the departure signal, controls the toilet body to flush, and then closes the seat ring and the upper cover in sequence. Then, directly enter Step 4: After the user finishes using the toilet, the upper cover is closed, and the flushing sensor enters the standby state until the user flips up the seat ring through the remote control;

[0040] In parallel, in Step 2, there is also a second case. The user uses the seat ring and directly uses the toilet. Then, enter Step 3. After the user leaves the seat ring, the microwave sensor recognizes the departure signal, controls the toilet body to flush, and then enters Step 4: After the user finishes using the toilet, the upper cover is closed, and the flushing sensor enters the standby state until the user flips up the seat ring through the remote control;

[0041] In parallel, in Step 2, if the user needs to use the seat ring again, the seat ring can be closed through the remote control.

[0042] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present application.

[0043] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above-mentioned embodiments are only for clearly explaining the present application, rather than limiting the scope of the present application. For those skilled in the art, other changes or modifications can be made on the basis of the above disclosure, and these changes or modifications are still within the scope of the present application.
