Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sanitary ware, in particular to an automatic induction flushing toilet circuit based on water energy self-generation. Background Art
[0002] The power supply system of the existing automatic flushing toilet sensor system generally uses a battery pack consisting of four 1.5V dry batteries connected in series to output DC6V to the sensor controller, or uses an AC220V to DC6V switching power supply.
[0003] The battery pack, comprised of four 1.5V dry-cell batteries connected in series, consumes power as the flush system is used, and the battery pack voltage gradually decreases until it is depleted. This drop in battery voltage reduces the flush system's motor drive force, resulting in poor flushing performance or even inability to flush. This requires manual battery replacement, which is cumbersome and costly. The system utilizes an AC220V to DC6V switching power supply, requiring the installation of an AC220V power cord for each automatic sensor flush system. This requires high construction requirements and costs, and improper installation can easily lead to leakage and the risk of electric shock.
[0004] Therefore, whether using a battery pack with four 1.5V dry batteries connected in series or a switching power supply that converts AC220V to DC6V, there are situations that affect the user experience. Utility Model Content

It should be noted that the descriptions of these embodiments are intended to aid understanding of the present invention and do not constitute limitations on the present invention. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with one another as long as they do not conflict with one another.
[0020] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an automatic induction flush toilet circuit based on water self-generation includes a hydroelectric generator, an automatic flush sensor, a battery BAT1, an MCU and a boost module U2;
[0021] The output end of the hydroelectric generator is electrically connected to the positive electrode of the battery BAT1, the negative electrode of the battery BAT1 is grounded, the positive electrode of the battery BAT1 is electrically connected to the power input end of the MCU and the input end VIN of the boost module respectively, the enable output end of the MCU is electrically connected to the enable input end EN of the boost module, and the output end LX of the boost module is electrically connected to the automatic flush sensor.
[0022] In the automatic induction flush toilet circuit based on water power generation, a hydroelectric generator is set up to utilize the tap water flowing through the hydroelectric generator to generate electricity, and at the same time power the automatic flush sensor and MCU, thereby realizing self-charging, energy storage and power supply of the automatic induction flushing system of the toilet. It does not require dry battery packs or AC220V wiring, is simple to construct, and does not require subsequent manual battery replacement and maintenance, thereby improving the user experience.
[0023] It's worth noting that the water outlet of the hydroelectric generator is connected to the water inlet of the toilet flush tank, which in turn is connected to the water outlet of the tap water pipe. Thus, when tap water flows into the toilet flush tank, it drives the hydroelectric generator, generating electricity, which is then stored in battery BAT1. In this embodiment, battery BAT1 is an 18650 lithium battery with a nominal voltage of 3.7V and a fully charged voltage of 4.2V.
[0024] Optionally, the boost module U2 is a DC-DC boost chip, the input terminal VIN of the boost module U2 is electrically connected to the positive electrode of the battery BAT1 through a filter capacitor, and the output terminal LX of the boost module U2 is electrically connected to the automatic flush sensor through a filter capacitor; the model of the boost module U2 is MT3608B; Figure 4As shown, the input terminal VIN of the boost module U2 is electrically connected to the first end of the filter capacitor C8, the first end of the filter capacitor C9 and the positive electrode of the battery BAT1, respectively, and the second end of the filter capacitor C8 and the second end of the filter capacitor C9 are both grounded to achieve the purpose of filtering; the output terminal LX of the boost module U2 is electrically connected to the first end of the filter capacitor C5, the first end of the filter capacitor C6, the first end of the filter capacitor C7 and the automatic flush sensor, respectively, and the second end of the filter capacitor C5, the second end of the filter capacitor C6 and the second end of the filter capacitor C7 are all grounded to achieve the purpose of filtering;
[0025] The enable output of the MCU and the positive electrode of the battery BAT1 are both electrically connected to the enable input EN of the boost module U2. The MCU model is F60E211. Upon receiving a high level output from the MCU's enable output, the enable input EN of the boost module U2 begins operation, thereby boosting the 3.2-4.2V voltage of the battery BAT1 to a constant DC6V voltage, thereby powering the automatic flush sensor and enabling the flushing action. In this embodiment, by adding the positive electrode of the battery BAT1 to the enable input EN of the boost module U2, the enable output of the MCU is pulled high, thereby ensuring that the boost module U2 can be stably triggered.

[0028] It also includes a light-emitting diode LED1, the positive pole of which is electrically connected to the output end of the hydroelectric generator, and the negative pole of which is grounded. The light-emitting diode LED1 is used as a power generation indication circuit. When the hydroelectric generator generates power normally to charge the circuit, the light-emitting diode LED1 will light up, indicating that power generation is normal.
[0029] It is worth noting that a battery protection chip U4 is also included.
