Definitions

  • JP 2000008445 shows a toilet installation with a sensor arranged on the underside of the toilet lid. If a change in reflection, color and the like with respect to a condition before use is detected after use of the toilet equipment and after closure of the lid by the sensor, the sensor sends out an automatic rinse signal. This is to ensure that is always flushed.
  • the generic US 6,250,601 B discloses a toilet facility having a motion sensor and a second sensor.
  • the second Sensor is an ultrasonic sensor or an optical sensor. It determines the volume of a solid in the toilet bowl and a controller triggers a flush with a corresponding amount of flushing water. If necessary, comminution with ultrasound is provided before flushing.
  • the second sensor is turned on only after the motion sensor detects movement of a person.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a toilet system of the type mentioned, which ensures even higher hygiene with low water consumption.
  • the object is achieved in a generic toilet system according to claim 1.
  • With an optical monitoring even small, even minor and heavy soiling can be detected and distinguished. Accordingly, the flushing amount can be infinitely determined and adjusted.
  • the monitoring is then particularly efficient, if this is done with an image analysis in particular a qualitative and structural image analysis. Different types of contamination can then be detected and distinguished. It can also be assigned to certain pollution classes and corresponding flushing quantities.
  • the detected degree of contamination is compared with an optimum degree of purity and evaluated.
  • the evaluation and control device is capable of learning, then the flushing quantity can be automatically and dynamically adapted to the degree of contamination. This allows a high hygiene with an even smaller flush volume. If, according to a development of the invention, the evaluation and control device is designed such that it adapts itself automatically to the respective ceramic, an even further optimization of the hygiene or the amount of flushing water is possible.
  • the camera 13 is constantly in operation and thus constantly monitors the degree of soiling of the toilet bowl 10. It thus permanently determines image data in the region of the opening 20 and the inside 11.
  • the sensor for this is preferably arranged in the control device 15.
  • This image data is continuously transmitted to the control device 15 via the line 14.
  • the evaluation of the image data takes place for example via a qualitative and structural image analysis.
  • the data is assigned and sorted using a fuzzy decision algorithm. In this way, for example, a distinction can be made as to whether contamination by a solid body 7 in the siphon 5 or by contamination by parts 8 of the inside 11 is present. These types of pollution can also be distinguished in terms of their strength.
  • a signal is emitted to the actuator 19, which triggers a predetermined flushing amount.
  • This flushing quantity is thus adapted to the degree of soiling, for which purpose means 15b for metering the minimum amount of water are provided.
  • With heavy pollution is then flushed usually with the entire amount of flushing water present in the cistern. This is for example 9 or 6 l.
  • a smaller flush volume for example, with 1 liter. Basically, any flush volume below a full flush is possible. If the specified optimum degree of purity is not reached after rinsing, rinsing is continued with the adjusted flushing volume.
  • a camera 17 may be arranged on a connecting piece 23 above the siphon water 6, which is formed the same as the camera 13 and is connected via a signal line 24 to the control device 15. With the camera 17 are solids 7 and other contaminants of the siphon water 6 can be detected.
