Detailed Description
Other advantages and capabilities of the present invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art from the present disclosure by describing the embodiments of the present invention with specific embodiments thereof in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 3 is a system architecture diagram of a dual flush control system of an intelligent toilet according to the present invention. As shown in fig. 3, the dual flush control system of an intelligent toilet of the present invention is applied to a main control panel C of the intelligent toilet, and includes:
a flushing request instruction receiving module 101, configured to receive a flushing request instruction.
In the present invention, after the user has finished making his or her convenience, a flush request command is generated to the flush request command receiving module 101. The flushing request command may be generated by a user through key triggering, or may be generated by detecting the sitting and the unseating of the user through a sensor, which is a mature technology of the existing intelligent toilet and is not described herein again.
And the flushing instruction generating module 102 is used for generating a flushing instruction and bringing tap water into the flushing valve B through the water inlet pipe D when receiving the flushing request instruction. In the flush valve B, the tap water can be discharged from the two water pipes (the upper spray pipe E and the bottom spray pipe F), and the operation of the flush valve B is the same as that of the background art due to the generation of the flush command and the bringing of the tap water into the flush valve B through the water inlet pipe D, which is not described herein again.
And the upper water jet flushing control module 103 is used for controlling the flushing valve B to control the upper water jet pipe E to discharge water, and the upper water jet pipe E firstly sprays water through the upper water jet G to flush the surface of the toilet bowl so as to flush dirt on the surface of the ceramic to the bottom of the toilet bowl.
The bottom spout first flush control module 104 is configured to control the flush valve B to control the bottom spout F to discharge water, so that the bottom water column is sprayed from the bottom spout H through the bottom spout F to push bottom dirt into the S-bend of the toilet bowl.
And the bottom water spray opening second-time washing control module 105 is used for pausing for a plurality of times after the bottom water spray opening first-time washing control module 104 controls washing, then controls the flushing valve B to control the water outlet of the bottom water spray pipe F, sprays water columns from the bottom water spray opening H through the bottom water spray pipe F to push residual dirt at the bottom into an S-shaped bend of the closestool, and discharges the dirt from a bottom sewage outlet due to a second Venturi principle generated by siphoning. In the embodiment of the present invention, after the bottom water jet first flushing control module 104 controls flushing, the water outlet of the bottom water jet F is controlled immediately after 1 second pause, and the water column is sprayed from the bottom water jet H through the bottom water jet F to push the residual dirt at the bottom into the S-turn of the toilet bowl. Therefore, the intelligent closestool utilizes the siphonage generated by the first injection of the intelligent closestool siphon pipeline to suck away the excrement in the closestool, the second injection carries out the second siphonage on the residue after the first siphonage, and the aims of saving water and optimizing the flushing effect are achieved through the pipeline design and the program logic control of the double siphonage.
And the upper water spraying port water supplementing and deodorizing control module 106 is used for controlling the flushing valve B to control the upper water spraying port G to automatically flush and supplement water to block the S curve of the closestool so as to prevent odor and dirt from flowing back.
Preferably, the present invention provides a dual flush control system for an intelligent toilet, further comprising:
and the human body detection module 107 is used for detecting whether a human body sits on the closestool or not, outputting a first feedback signal if the closestool is occupied, and otherwise outputting a second feedback signal. In an embodiment of the present invention, the human body detecting module 107 may include a pressure sensor and a comparator, the pressure sensor is located between the toilet seat and the toilet seat body and fixed to the toilet seat, an output end of the pressure sensor is connected to an input end of the comparator, the comparator compares an output value of the pressure sensor with a set value, when the output value is greater than the set value, the comparator outputs a high level signal, i.e., a first feedback signal, and otherwise, the comparator outputs a low level signal, i.e., a second feedback signal.

And step S5, stopping for a plurality of times after the first flushing is controlled by the bottom water spray, controlling the flushing valve B to control the water outlet of the bottom water spray pipe F, spraying water columns from the bottom water spray hole H through the bottom water spray pipe F to push residual dirt at the bottom into an S-shaped bend of the closestool, and discharging the dirt from a bottom sewage outlet due to a second Venturi principle generated by siphoning. In the embodiment of the present invention, after the bottom water jet is flushed for the first time, the water outlet of the bottom water jet is controlled immediately after the pause, for example, 1 second, and the water column is sprayed from the bottom water jet H through the bottom water jet F to push the residual dirt at the bottom into the S-turn of the toilet bowl.
