[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , an induction toilet seat 20, the induction toilet seat 20 can be automatically flipped and installed on the toilet body 10, and the seat 20 is installed with the following components:
[0025] The first sensor 211 is installed on the upper surface of the seat 20. Specifically, the first sensor 211 is a touch sensor. When the user sits on the seat 20, the user's thigh will touch the first sensor 211. At this time, the first sensor 211 senses that the seat 20 is being used. When the user sits up from the seat 20, the first sensor 211 loses the touch signal. The first sensor 211 is used to sense the human body leaving the seat 20 and control the flushing of the toilet body 10 according to the departure signal.
[0026] The second sensor 212 is installed on the lower surface of the seat 20. When the seat 20 is turned up, the sensing direction of the second sensor 212 changes from downward to forward. At this time, the second sensor 212 changes from standby state to working state. When the user turns around and leaves after using the toilet, the second sensor 212 recognizes the human body leaving in front of the toilet body 10 and controls the flushing of the toilet body 10 according to the leaving signal. Specifically, the second sensor 212 is installed at the upper end of the lower surface of the seat 20, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the sensing range of the second sensor 212 can be covered to the position directly in front of the toilet body 10 to the greatest extent. Preferably, the second sensor 212 is an infrared sensor, which can be used to sense the distance between the object and the sensor, so as to facilitate sensing the human body leaving from the front of the toilet body 10.
[0027] The third sensor 213 is installed on the lower surface of the seat ring 20. The third sensor 213 is used to sense gesture signals at the edge of the seat ring 20, such as Figure 1 As shown, when the user needs to turn up the seat ring 20, Figure 1 A gesture signal is performed within the sensing range of the third sensor 213, the gesture signal including waving the hand. The third sensor 213 senses the gesture signal and controls the seat ring 20 to automatically flip up according to the gesture signal. During this process, the user does not need to touch the seat ring 20 with his hands, ensuring hand hygiene.
[0028] In another embodiment based on the above structure, Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a controller 21 is also installed at the bottom of the seat ring 20, and the first sensor 211, the second sensor 212 and the third sensor 213 are integrated and installed at different positions of the controller 21. Compared with the above-mentioned installation of sensors in various places, it can effectively save installation costs and production costs, and the line arrangement is also simpler. The sensing signals of each sensor are controlled by the controller 21.
[0029] Further, such as Figure 4 As shown, there is an acute angle β between the central axis of the sensing area of the second sensor 212 and the horizontal line of the controller 21, and the central axis of the sensing area of the second sensor 212 is offset toward the central axis of the toilet body 10, so that when the second sensor 212 is installed on the controller 21, its sensing range can also cover the position directly in front of the toilet body 10 to the greatest extent, ensuring the sensing accuracy. Preferably, the acute angle β is 12 degrees.
[0030] Based on the above structure, the top of the controller 21 is flush with the upper surface of the seat ring 20, and the first sensor 211 is installed on the upper surface of the controller 21. Since the first sensor 211 is a touch sensor, its sensing area is designed to be consistent with the surface of the seat ring 20, so that the user will not feel abrupt when sitting on the seat ring 20.
[0031] Based on the above structure, the bottom of the controller 21 passes through the seat ring 20 downward, and the second sensor 212 is installed at the bottom of the controller 21. Figure 5 As shown;
[0032] The third sensor 213 is installed on the side wall of the controller 21 close to the outer edge of the seat ring 20. The sensing direction of the third sensor 213 is toward the outer edge of the seat ring 20, so that the third sensor 213 can sense the gesture signal from the outer edge of the seat ring 20, such as Figure 1 As shown; wherein the third sensor 213 is a microwave sensor.
[0033] The embodiment of the present invention also provides a smart toilet, which is equipped with the above-mentioned sensing toilet seat 20. When in use, the user manually flips up the upper cover and sits on the seat 20 to use the toilet. The user's thigh will touch the first sensor 211. At this time, the first sensor 211 senses that the seat 20 is being used. When the user sits up from the seat 20, the first sensor 211 loses the touch signal. The first sensor 211 is used to sense the human body leaving the seat 20 and control the toilet body 10 to flush according to the leaving signal; if the user does not need to use the seat 20, the seat 20 needs to be flipped up and the user needs to stand up. When using the toilet, the user can make a gesture with his hand within the sensing range of the third sensor 213. The third sensor 213 senses the gesture signal and controls the seat 20 to automatically flip up according to the gesture signal. During this period, the user does not need to touch the seat 20 with his hands to ensure hand hygiene. At this time, the second sensor 212 enters the working state from the standby state. When the user finishes using the toilet standing up and leaves in the direction away from the toilet, the second sensor 212 recognizes the human body leaving the toilet body 10 and controls the flushing of the toilet body 10 according to the departure signal. During this period, the user does not need to flush manually, which effectively avoids the situation where the user forgets to flush.
