[0002] AUTOMATIC TOILET CLEANING AND DISINFECTING DEVICE

[0003] FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The present invention relates to the field of automatic cleaning devices, more specifically to the automatic cleaning and / or disinfecting of toilet seats and the air freshening of toilet rooms. The device is designed to be placed inside a toilet flush water tank, operating by gravity to release a specific amount of scented cleaning and disinfecting fluid, which mixes with the toilet tank water. This mixed water is then released when the flush button is pressed, cleaning, disinfecting, and freshening the toilet area.

[0005] After the water level drops due to gravity, the device automatically prepares for the next use by releasing cleaning and disinfecting fluid as the tank refills. The fluid remains in the small tank within the control unit until the water level reaches the float, which rises as the water level increases, closing the cleaning and disinfecting fluid container’s outlet. The fluid flow stops until the flush button is pressed again, repeating the process.

[0006] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0007] It is well-known that humans cannot do without sanitation facilities and toilets, whether in public or private areas. Since people tend to seek comfort and ways to reduce maintenance and cleaning tasks, the idea of creating a product that improves sanitary conditions and simplifies toilet cleaning, making it automatic and difficult for dirt to accumulate, thus reducing pollution from uncleaned and undisinfected toilets, emerged.

[0008] As the old saying goes, “The restroom is the ‘house of comfort,’” the concept of automatic toilet cleaning and disinfecting was thoughtfully developed and applied to create a means of comfort and spread positive energy for toilet users. Thus, the automatic toilet cleaning and disinfecting device also works to freshen the toilet room air, releasing a pleasant scent immediately when the flush button is pressed, and the clean water starts to flow. 4050721367

[0009] Conventional devices lack an automatic and effective mechanism for cleaning, disinfecting, and sterilizing toilets.

[0010] They also waste excess water during flushing, which is undesirable.

[0011] Therefore, there is a need to improve automatic toilet cleaning and disinfecting, as well as to freshen the toilet after use and conserve water usage.

[0012] OBJECTIVES OF THE INVENTION

[0013] The main objective of the current invention is to provide an automatic system and device for cleaning and freshening toilets.

[0014] Another objective of the current invention is to present a unique and innovative device capable of automatically and effectively cleaning, disinfecting, and sterilizing the toilet during flushing while adding a pleasant scent to the room.

[0015] Another objective of this invention is to reduce the amount of water wasted during toilet flushing.

[0016] These and other objectives of the current invention are apparent from the drawings and descriptions provided here. Each objective of the invention is achieved by at least one embodiment of the invention. However, no embodiment necessarily fulfills every objective specified in the current application.

However, this invention can be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiment set forth in the current application. Instead, the embodiment is provided to be comprehensive, conveying the full scope of the invention to those skilled in the industrial arts.

[0023] Many aspects of the invention can be better understood by referring to the drawings below. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale. Instead, emphasis is placed on clearly illustrating the components of the current invention. Furthermore, identical reference numbers specify corresponding parts across the multiple views in the drawings. Before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention, it should be understood that the embodiments of the invention are not limited in their application to the construction details and the component arrangements set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention embodiments may be practiced and executed in various ways. Additionally, the phrases and terms used in the current application are for descriptive purposes only and should not be considered limiting.

[0024] The present invention is a device that can automatically clean, sterilize, disinfect the toilet water upon flushing. An embodiment of the present invention comprises three essential components, including:

[0025] a) A plastic container (101 ) for holding the cleaning and disinfecting fluid. b) A control device (102) that controls the amount and timing of the cleaning and disinfecting fluid flow.

[0026] c) A small tank in the control device that is automatically filled from the cleaning fluid bottle installed in the incubator

[0027] One embodiment of this invention includes the control device (102) in the form of a lightweight body (float) that floats and lowers according to the water level within the toilet flush water collection container, thereby controlling the flow of the cleaning and disinfecting fluid. 4050721367

[0028] An embodiment of this invention can also be fitted with some additional components for added functionality or appeal:

[0029] d) A weight tool to optimally stabilize the device inside the toilet flush water collection container.

[0030] e) Seals and other parts necessary for the device's operation.

[0031] f) A fragrance added to the cleaning fluid to impart a pleasant scent to the bathroom with each flush.

[0032] One embodiment of this invention operates as follows:

[0033] a) The device contains a plastic incubator (101 ) and its task is to incubate the bottle of cleaning and sterilization liquid, and this incubator is linked to the control tool (102).

[0034] b) The bottle of cleaning and sterilization liquid has an outlet that allows the liquid to pass into the toilet flush water collection vessel and this bottle is fixed in the plastic incubator (101 ) upside down so that the liquid flows due to gravity and controls the opening and closing of this hole. The control tool (102).

[0035] c) The control device (102) contains a cylindrical tank for temporarily storing a small amount of cleaning and disinfecting fluid. It also contains a lightweight body (float) that floats and lowers according to the water level in the toilet flush water collection container, controlling the flow of the cleaning and disinfecting fluid into the small tank or stopping it. This is achieved by pushing the small tank's gate upward when the float rises (closing the flow) or leaving the small tank's gate free when the float lowers (opening the flow). The gate is a weighted tubular piece (103) that remains in the open position due to gravity until the water level rises, causing the float to close the flow.

[0036] d) The weighted piece (103) allows the user to secure the automatic toilet cleaning and disinfecting device vertically inside the toilet flush water collection container, preventing the device from moving or falling.

[0037] e) The cleaning and disinfecting fluid container (104) is connected to the control device (105) to manage the flow of the cleaning and disinfecting fluid from the 4050721367

[0038] container through the holes (106), by pushing the small tank's gate upward when the float rises (closing the flow) or leaving the small tank's gate free when the float lowers (opening the flow).

[0039] General characteristics of the automatic toilet cleaning and sterilization device: a) The device allows for controlling the water level within the toilet flush water collection container, where at a specified level, the cleaning and disinfecting fluid is released into the water within the container.

[0040] b) The automatic toilet cleaning and sterilization device can be used multiple times, with only the cleaning and sterilizing liquid bottle being replaced.

[0041] c) It functions as a cleaner, disinfectant, and air freshener simultaneously, as the concentration of fluid in the water causes the water flowing from the toilet flush water collection container to have a fast-acting double effect, cleaning and breaking down dirt particles while spreading a fragrant scent in the toilet room.

[0042] d) It conserves water, as the space occupied by the device in the toilet flush water collection container helps reduce water loss.
