Description
The present invention relates to a public toilet managing apparatus, and more particularly, to a public toilet environment and culture by automatically opening and closing a toilet cover and notifying a public toilet user and an administrator of a clogged state or failure state of the toilet And more particularly, to a public toilet management apparatus using intelligent communication.
Unlike the toilet in the home, the public toilet is used by many unspecified persons due to the nature of the installation site, and therefore, the interior thereof is congested and filthy, so that it tends to be avoided.
Of course, the cleanliness of public toilets is getting better in recent years, but there are still problems in hygiene compared to the restrooms in the home. In other words, because many people use it, if systematic management is not done, it gets dirty easily, which is not good for cosmetics and gives a discomfort to users.
Therefore, in order to operate the public toilet cleanly, it is necessary to visit and check the toilet regularly, etc. and take the necessary measures directly. However, in the present system, the user can not know the abnormal condition of the toilet, and even if the toilet is clogged or broken, the user had to feel uncomfortable because he could not enter the toilet without knowing the state of the toilet. This is because the administrator can not control the use of the toilet when an abnormality occurs while checking the abnormality of the toilet in real time.
Such clogging or failure of the toilet is expected to occur more frequently as the trash can is removed from the toilet. In other words, it is known to remove the trash that is stored in the toilet, similar to the internal environment of a foreign toilet, in order to maintain the public toilet more comfortably.
On the other hand, the public toilet is used by an unspecified number of people as described above. It is inevitable that the cleanliness inside the toilet is bad. That is, when the toilet is not used, if the toilet cover is opened, foreign substances are injected into the toilet and the cleanliness deteriorates. In some cases, the toilet may be clogged due to foreign substances. In addition, if the toilet cover is open, the toilet cover may become dirty, so that the next user has the trouble of cleaning the toilet cover with a toilet paper or the like, and there is a problem that the toilet paper is unnecessarily consumed.
Therefore, when the toilet is not used, it is necessary to maintain the closed state of the toilet cover so that the convenience of the user is maintained. A device for disinfecting the toilet cover with the toilet cover closed as required can also be proposed.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention has been made keeping in mind the above problems occurring in the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a public toilet management apparatus using object intelligence communication for automatically opening / closing a toilet cover by sensing whether a toilet user uses a toilet.
Another object of the present invention is to classify and judge the clogged state and the failure state of the toilet, and also to notify the manager of each state to enable immediate coping.
Yet another object of the present invention is to enable the toilet user to recognize the clogging or failure of the toilet.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for detecting a user in a toilet, A second sensor for sensing a level in the toilet bowl; And a control unit for judging that the toilet is in a blockage state or a failure state when the water level in the toilet is higher or lower than a preset range of the predetermined basic water quantity (h) as a result of the detection by the first sensor or the second sensor A public toilet management apparatus using intelligent communication is provided.
The first sensor is installed on the ceiling of the toilet, and the second sensor is installed on the inner surface of the toilet lid facing the inside of the toilet.
As a result of the sensing of the first sensor, the toilet lid is opened when the user is sensed, and is closed when the user is not sensed.
A communication terminal for receiving and displaying the clogged state or the failure state of the toilet through the wired / wireless communication unit, and an information display unit installed at the toilet door.
The control unit determines a normal operation state of the first sensor and the second sensor using the request / response signal with the first sensor and the second sensor.
The public toilet managing apparatus using the intelligent communication according to the present invention has the following effects.
First, the present invention automatically opens and closes the toilet cover according to the presence or absence of a user. Accordingly, the user can reduce the operation of cleaning the toilet cover with the toilet paper, thereby saving the toilet paper. In addition, the toilet cover is always closed, and it is automatically closed even when draining, so that microorganisms (bacteria) can be prevented from splashing into the toilet space outside the toilet, or the microorganism (bacteria) virus can be prevented from entering into the toilet.
Further, the present invention can accurately identify not only the clogged state of the toilet but also the failure state by using the water level information in the toilet. This allows the administrator to quickly prepare the equipment needed to deal with the clogged or faulty condition of the toilet, allowing for quick follow-up.
In addition, since the clogged state or the failure state information of the toilet is displayed on the information display unit of the toilet door, the user of the toilet can prevent the user from feeling unpleasant beforehand. Therefore, comfortable toilets are available.

In the meantime, the present embodiment can detect not only the state where the toilet is clogged but also the clogging of the toilet and the state of the toilet. This is performed by the
This will be described in detail. The internal volume of the toilet always maintains a constant quantity. In the embodiment, this is referred to as 'basic quantity (h)'. If the water level in the toilet exceeds the basic water quantity h, it is judged as a blockage state. On the other hand, when the water level in the toilet does not reach the basic water quantity h, it is judged to be in a failure state. Here, the quantity ('first quantity') judged to be in a clogged state and the quantity judged to be in a failure state ('second quantity') may not accurately estimate how much the quantity is larger or smaller than the basic quantity (h) . For example, a quantity determined as the first quantity and the second quantity may be preset and provided. Therefore, if the water quantity is measured to a certain extent, it is judged as a blockage state. On the contrary, if the water quantity is measured to some extent, the water supply apparatus can judge that the back condition is broken. Alternatively, the first water quantity and the second water quantity may be set to the same value as the basic water quantity (h) and the second water quantity to the basic water quantity (h).
