Definitions

  • the invention relates to a toilet system with a toilet bowl and a flushing device and a device for Flush volume detection and flush trigger.
  • the invention relates also a method for operating a toilet facility.
  • a toilet system of the type mentioned is from DE 299 18 335 U1 became known. This has an electrical in a cistern operable drain valve on.
  • the siphon is the Toilet bowl arranged a solids sensor, the solids sensor serves to detect the presence of solids in the siphon Determine toilet bowl. With the solids sensor should also the amount of solids in the siphon of the toilet be detectable. This should make it possible for the crowd of rinsing liquid dynamically to one to be triggered Adjust rinsing process. With the help of another sensor so-called dual flushing may be possible.
  • a solid matter sensor is available Ensuring high hygiene is insufficient. Also a Additional sensor, for example a gas sensor, cannot the desired cleanliness.
  • the invention has for its object a toilet facility to create the type mentioned, with low water consumption ensures even higher hygiene.
  • the task is with one Generic toilet system solved in that optical Means for constant monitoring of the degree of pollution the toilet bowl are provided. With optical monitoring can also do small, even minor and heavy soiling recorded and differentiated. Accordingly can the flush volume can be continuously determined and adjusted.
  • the Surveillance is particularly efficient if this is done with a Image analysis, especially a qualitative and structural one Image analysis is done. There are then different types detect and distinguish from contamination. It can too assigned to certain pollution classes and corresponding flush volumes become. According to a development of the invention recorded degree of pollution with an optimal degree of purity compared and evaluated.
  • the invention also relates to a method for operating a Toilet according to claim 1. Such a method is then special effective when using an evaluation and control device the determined data is evaluated and the flushing device is controlled accordingly.
  • the evaluation and Control device learnable, so the flush volume can automatically and be dynamically adjusted to the degree of pollution. In order to high hygiene is possible with an even smaller flush volume.
  • the evaluation and Control device designed so that it automatically Adapted to the respective ceramics is a further optimization hygiene or the amount of rinsing water possible.
  • the toilet installation 1 usually has one toilet bowl 10 made of ceramic, which has a rinsing channel 12 and a siphon 5.
  • a drain pipe 9 is connected to a not shown here Disposal line leads.
  • the toilet bowl 10 will flushed with a cistern 2, the on a flushing bow 4 the rinsing channel 12 is connected.
  • the flushing is done by Lifting a valve tube 18 with an actuator 19.
  • This actuating device 19 is designed so that it a continuous adjustment of the flush volume enables. It can thus with the full flush volume, for example with 9 1 or continuously be flushed with every smaller flush volume.
  • Such actuators 19 are known.
  • Cisterns with freely selectable Flush volume are for example from US 5,036,553 and EP 1 156 166 A2 of the applicant is known.
  • the cistern 2 be equipped with a button 3, with which one Manual flushing is possible.
  • the cistern 2 can also be replaced by another suitable flushing device.
  • the actuating device 19 is via a signal line 16 or connected wirelessly to a control device 15, which in turn connected to a camera 13 via a signal line 14 is.
  • the control device 15 is preferably on the ceramic Toilet bowl 10 or attached to the seat and can also be a Be part of this.
  • the camera 13 can also be another suitable recording device with IR sensor, thermal image or Color spectrum.
  • the camera 13 is, for example, a digital camera, for example a CCD camera and forms an agent for detecting the degree of contamination of the toilet bowl 10. As Figure 2 shows, the camera 13 is against the down Entry opening 20 of the siphon 5 directed. Preferably with the camera 13 at least a portion of the inside 11 of the Toilet bowl 10 captured.
  • the camera 13 is for example fixed or movable on the rear edge 22 of the toilet bowl 10 attached.
  • the electrical supply to the camera 13 takes place via a battery or an electrical one not shown here Management.
  • the camera 13 can be in constant operation and thus monitors constantly the degree of contamination of the toilet bowl 10. It determines thus continuous image data in the area of the opening 20 and inside 11.
  • the camera can also be activated first when a user is recognized.
  • the sensor for this is preferred arranged in the control device 15.
  • This image data the control device 15 continuously via line 14 transmitted.
  • the image data is evaluated, for example about a qualitative and structural image analysis.
  • the data is for example with a fuzzy based Decision algorithm assigned and sorted. hereby can be differentiated, for example, whether pollution by a solid 7 in the siphon 5 or by a Contamination from parts 8 of the inside 11 is present. This Types of soiling can also be differentiated according to their strength become.
  • a different degree of contamination the inside 11 or a different one Degree of contamination can be distinguished by fixed parts 7.
  • Such Image analysis is carried out using suitable software, the is known.
  • artificial neural Nets are used. With these there is also a learning process possible.
  • the camera 13 and the control device 15 together replace with the programs for image analysis in principle the observation of a human being, however, can constantly and work faster.
  • a predetermined Triggers flush volume is therefore related to the degree of contamination customized. If there is heavy contamination, the Usually with the total amount of flushing water in the cistern rinsed. This is, for example, 9 or 6 1. With one less pollution, however, with a smaller flush volume, for example rinsed with 1 1. Basically everyone is Flush volume possible below a full flush. Is after one Rinsing does not reach the specified optimal degree of purity, so it is rinsed again with the adjusted rinse volume.
  • a flush is triggered automatically. Once a level of pollution is captured by the optimal and predetermined If the degree of purity differs, a rinse is automatically triggered. The rinses are therefore carried out without contact.
  • the cistern 2 can, however, as mentioned above, also with a key 3 or another Actuator equipped with a manual flush trigger is possible, which can also be non-contact.
  • the control device 15 is preferably capable of learning and fitting the flush volume automatically and dynamically to the existing conditions on. This makes it possible to reduce the consumption of rinse water optimize.
  • a connector 17 is arranged above the siphon water 6, a camera 17 be the same as the camera 13 trained and over a signal line 24 is connected to the control device 15 is. With the camera 17 are solids 7 and other contaminants of the siphon water 6 detectable.
  • image data is permanently one Subject to image analysis and with a predetermined optimal Purity level compared. Based on the comparison, the degree of pollution certainly. This is now used to determine the suitable flush volume. With a very high degree of pollution the intended flush quantity is the full one in the cistern Be flush volume. In other cases, a subset rinsed. After rinsing, it will continue to be one of the best Degree of purity deviating degree of contamination is determined Another flush with a corresponding flush quantity is triggered. If the system cannot clean itself, it can Make users aware of the need for cleaning, e.g.
  • the evaluation and control device 15 can be designed that it is learnable, such as through use of artificial neural networks is possible.
  • the ability to learn relates in particular to the optimization of rinse water consumption with regard to the different types of pollution.
  • the flushing quantities can thus automatically and dynamically the types of pollution are adjusted. This includes one Adaptation to the respective ceramic of the toilet bowl 10.
