Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of sanitary wares, and particularly to an automatic toilet lid lifting toilet that prevents pets from accidentally triggering. Background Art

[0002] Intelligent toilets can bring a very comfortable experience to life, greatly improving people's quality of life and being widely praised by consumers. With the rapid development of intelligent household appliances, people continuously put forward new requirements for the intelligent level of toilets. The ability to automatically sense the approach of users and automatically lift the toilet lid has become a new requirement for intelligent toilets. In the existing technology, a foot feeling device is usually set at the bottom of the toilet, which can already sense the approach of a moving object near the toilet and automatically lift the toilet lid. However, for families with pets, when cats, dogs and other pets break into the bathroom, their feet will also trigger the sensing device to lift the toilet lid, resulting in misidentification. How to avoid accidental triggering by pets has become a technical problem that needs to be studied and solved for automatic toilet lid lifting toilets. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] In view of this, the present utility model provides an automatic toilet lid lifting toilet that prevents pets from accidentally triggering, and at least partially solves the problems existing in the prior art.

[0004] An automatic toilet lid lifting toilet that prevents pets from accidentally triggering is provided with a toilet body, a water tank, a gasket, a toilet lid, a rotating device, a control device, a first ranging device, a second ranging device, and a third ranging device. The height of the water tank is higher than the height of the toilet body. The water tank is arranged at the rear side of the toilet body. The first ranging device is arranged on the side wall of the toilet body. The second ranging device and the third ranging device are arranged on the side wall of the water tank. The first ranging device is provided with a first probe, and the normal direction of the first probe is parallel to the ground. The second ranging device is provided with a second probe, and the normal direction of the second probe is parallel to the ground. The third ranging device is provided with a third probe, and the included angle between the normal direction of the third probe and the normal direction of the second probe is an acute angle, and the normal direction of the third probe is obliquely downward.

[0005] The first ranging device, the second ranging device, and the third ranging device are all provided with output ports. The control device is provided with an input port and an output port. The rotating device is provided with an input port. The output ports of the first ranging device, the second ranging device, and the third ranging device are respectively connected to the input port of the control device. The output port of the control device is connected to the input port of the rotating device.

[0006] The toilet lid is installed on the rotating device, and the rotating device can drive the toilet lid to switch between vertical erection and horizontal parking.

[0007] The vertical height where the first distance measuring device is located is less than half of the height of the toilet body.

[0008] A clamping device is further provided. The second distance measuring device and the third distance measuring device are installed on the clamping device, and the clamping device is arranged on the side wall of the water tank.

[0009] The second distance measuring device is above the third distance measuring device.

[0010] The vertical height where the second distance measuring device and the third distance measuring device are located is higher than two-thirds of the total height of the water tank.

[0011] The first probe, the second probe, and the third probe all face the front of the toilet body.

[0012] The rotating device is provided with a motor.

[0013] The control device is provided with a calculation unit and a storage unit.

[0014] The storage unit of the control device stores a first threshold distance, a second threshold distance, and a third threshold distance. And the second distance threshold is between the first distance threshold and the third threshold distance.

[0015] The first distance measuring device sends the measured first distance to the control device in real time, the second distance measuring device sends the measured second distance to the control device in real time, and the third distance measuring device sends the measured third distance to the control device in real time. The calculation unit of the control device compares the first distance with the first threshold distance, compares the second distance with the second threshold distance, and compares the third distance with the third threshold distance.

[0016] When only the first distance is less than the first threshold distance or the third distance is less than the third threshold distance, and the second distance is not less than the second threshold distance, it is a low moving target approaching, which belongs to a pet breaking in, and the output port of the control device is controlled not to output a control signal.

[0017] When the second distance is less than the second threshold distance, and at the same time the first distance is less than the first threshold distance or the third distance is less than the third threshold distance, it only belongs to someone approaching the toilet, and the output port of the control device is controlled to output a control signal to the rotating device, and the rotating device drives the toilet lid to rotate to the vertical position.

[0018] Advantages of the technical solution:

[0019] (1) By providing the first distance measuring device, the second distance measuring device, and the third distance measuring device, the second distance measuring device performs horizontal detection at a higher position, with a height higher than the normal height of a pet. When a pet breaks in, the second distance will not be less than the second threshold distance, thus avoiding false triggering caused by pets.

[0020] (2) The first distance measuring device is arranged on the side wall of the toilet body, and the third distance measuring device is arranged on the side wall of the water tank. The normal direction of the third probe is obliquely downward. Both the first distance measuring device and the third distance measuring device can sense whether a foot approaches the toilet, which can avoid misjudgment caused by the user standing too far off and not aligning with a single distance measuring device.

[0021] (3) Low cost and easy to retrofit and implement. Description of the Drawings
