[0022] Now, the exemplary embodiments will be described more fully with reference to the drawings. However, the exemplary embodiments can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this application will be thorough and complete, and the concept of the exemplary embodiments will be fully conveyed to those skilled in the art. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar structures, and thus their detailed descriptions will be omitted.

[0023] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in one embodiment, an intelligent cleaning system includes a first cleaning device 30 and a second cleaning device 40. The first cleaning device 30 includes a water spraying body 31 for human body cleaning. The water outlet of the water source 50 is respectively communicated with the water spraying body 31 and the second cleaning device 40 through a first flow path. A specific liquid can be stored in the second cleaning device 40, and this liquid can also be circulated for cleaning through the second cleaning device 40 or discharged through the first cleaning device 30. Wherein, the water source 50 can be a water tank provided in the toilet, or an independent water tank provided in the wall, or a water supply pipeline or a water supply device directly from outside the product. The water source 50 and the first cleaning device 30 can be directly connected or connected through an intermediate component.

[0024] In an embodiment, the first cleaning device 30 includes a water source 50 and a water spraying body 31 for body cleaning. The water outlet of the water source 50 is communicated with the water inlet of the water spraying body 31 through a first flow path. Components such as a flow meter, a heating element, and a valve can be provided along the water flow direction in the first flow path, and these components are sequentially communicated to form the first flow path. Heating components, a reversing valve 32, a flow regulating valve, etc. can be added according to the spraying function requirements of the water spraying body 31 on the water path of the first cleaning device 30.

[0025] In an embodiment, the second cleaning device 40 includes a liquid pump 43, a liquid storage container 42, and a liquid level detector. The liquid level detector is arranged in the liquid storage container 42 to detect the liquid level in the liquid storage container 42. The liquid storage container 42 has a first inlet, a second inlet, and an outlet. The liquid pump 43 is respectively communicated with the first flow path and the outlet of the liquid storage container 42. The water outlet of the water source 50 can also be communicated with the second inlet of the liquid storage container 42 through the first flow path. The liquid pump 43 is also electrically connected to the liquid level detector. When the first cleaning device 30 is working, the liquid pump 43 starts to work when the liquid level detector detects a change in the liquid level in the liquid storage container 42 or exceeds a preset liquid level, and discharges the liquid in the liquid storage container 42 under the drive of the liquid pump 43.

[0026] Preferably, the liquid level detector can adopt a mechanical liquid level detector or an inductive liquid level detector, such as a capacitive water level sensor, a float type water level sensor, a magnetic liquid level inductor, an acoustic wave liquid level inductor, an optical wave liquid level inductor, etc. The liquid storage container 42 can be a container such as a bottle or a tank that can hold liquid.

[0027] Preferably, the liquid level detector can be directly electrically connected to the liquid pump 43, and the electrical signal of the liquid level detector directly controls the start or stop of the liquid pump 43. The liquid pump 43 is also called a hydraulic pump. There are various types of liquid pumps 43 used in bathrooms, including but not limited to micro water pumps, pneumatic liquid extraction pumps 43, electric liquid extraction pumps 43, drum pumps, etc. These liquid pumps 43 are widely used in various bathroom equipment and systems to meet the liquid transportation requirements. Of course, it can be understood that the liquid level detector and the liquid pump 43 can also be connected through a control device. The liquid level detector is connected to the control device, and the control device is then connected to the liquid pump 43. The control device can obtain the electrical signal of the liquid level detector, and then according to the electrical signal of the liquid level detector, send a control electrical signal to the liquid pump 43. Controlling the operation of the liquid pump 43 through the control device can perform some more complex signal processing and control, and the control device can also be integrated with the main control of the intelligent cover 10 to facilitate the control operation of the intelligent cover 10.

[0028] In an embodiment, when the second cleaning device 40 is operating, a user can add a cleaning agent, a descaling agent, or a medicament into the liquid storage container 42, and these liquids can flow into the first flow path driven by the liquid pump 43 and be ejected through the water spraying body 31 to meet the descaling and cleaning requirements of the cleaning water path or to realize the function of the user using the medicament for washing and caring. When the second cleaning device 40 is operating, a liquid level detector can be used to sense the liquid level in the liquid storage container 42, and then remind the user or perform other operations according to the liquid level condition. When the first cleaning device 30 is operating, if a change in the liquid level is detected in the liquid storage container 42 or the liquid level exceeds the preset level, it indicates that there may be a problem of cross-flow of the water source 50. Then the liquid level detector sends an electrical signal to the liquid pump 43 or the control device and starts the liquid pump 43 to drain the liquid in the liquid storage container 42. Preferably, the second cleaning device 40 includes a liquid adding box 41, and the liquid adding box 41 is communicated with the first inlet of the liquid storage container 42. The user can add the required liquid or solvent into the liquid storage container 42 through the liquid adding box 41.

[0029] In one embodiment, the cleaning system includes a control valve. The control valve is provided with at least two water inlets and one water outlet. At least two water inlets are respectively communicated with the water outlet of the water source 50 and the liquid pump 43, and the water outlet is communicated with the water spraying body 31 through the first flow path. Preferably, the first flow path includes a reversing valve 32. The reversing valve 32 is provided with at least two outlets. One outlet of the reversing valve 32 is communicated with the water spraying body 31, and the other outlet of the reversing valve 32 is communicated with the second inlet of the liquid storage container 42 through the second flow path. When the second cleaning device 40 is operating, by guiding through the reversing valve 32 to the liquid storage container 42, a circulation loop of the liquid storage container 42, the liquid pump 43, the control valve, the flowmeter, the heating element, and the reversing valve 32, and then flowing back to the liquid storage container 42 can be realized, and the second cleaning device 40 can be cleaned in a circulation mode.

[0030] Preferably, the cleaning system includes a first check valve 70 and a second check valve 60. The first check valve 70 is arranged between the water source 50 and the control valve, and the flow direction of the first check valve 70 is from the water source 50 to the control valve. The second check valve 60 is arranged between the liquid pump 43 and the control valve, and the flow direction of the second check valve 60 is from the liquid pump 43 to the control valve. The check valve can prevent the water flow from cross-flowing back to the water source 50 and / or the liquid storage container 42. It can be understood that setting the check valve can prevent cross-flow, but the technical solution of setting the liquid level detector still has great significance, and extremely effectively avoids the problems of stagnant water, dirty water, and diluted medicament stored in the liquid storage container 42 after the check valve fails or the reversing valve 32 leaks water.

[0031] In other embodiments, a check valve may not be provided between the water source 50 and the control valve.

[0032] In one embodiment, a toilet includes the above-mentioned intelligent cleaning system, an intelligent cover plate 10, and a toilet seat 20. The first cleaning device 30 is disposed within the intelligent cover plate 10, and the second cleaning device 40 is disposed within the toilet seat 20 or externally connected to the toilet seat 20.
