Abstract
Toilet and toilet control methods. The toilet according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a toilet seat supporting the body of the user, a sensor sensing the seating of the user when the user is seated on the toilet seat, an ultraviolet LED (ultraviolet LED ) Of the rechargeable battery, a toilet cover for accommodating the lamp, a rechargeable battery for supplying power to the sensor and the ultraviolet LED lamp, a charging timing of the rechargeable battery and a charging timing of the rechargeable battery, And a control unit for controlling the timing of turning on / off the ultraviolet LED lamp.
Description
The present invention relates to a toilet which provides a sterilizing function and a control method thereof.
In general, a toilet bowl is a western style flush toilet that is designed to sit on the floor and look at the toilet. It is also called a toilet seat.
These toilets sit on the floor and can be used, which is convenient and hygienic.
For example, in the case of a public toilet used by a large number of people, the person sitting on the toilet seat of the toilet used by the advanced person must sit on the toilet seat, which is uncomfortable.
Therefore, since many people wipe the toilet seat which is brought into contact with the skin by a toilet paper before sitting on the toilet seat, there is a disadvantage that it is cumbersome and wastes are wasted, and microscopic bacteria and the like are not removed.
In addition, when a bidet or the like is used, if the water on the buttocks is not dried, or if the bidet is rubbed and the toilet seat is contaminated, it is removed by a toilet paper or the like, but this method has a problem that the contamination state is not completely lost .
However, since the power consumption of the ultraviolet lamp for sterilization and disinfection and the continuous light source exposure are increased, the cost due to the power consumption is increased and the life time of the ultraviolet lamp is increased There is a problem of being shortened.
Disclosure of Invention Technical Problem [8] 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 method for minimizing power consumption and exposure to light of a UV-LED lamp for sterilization and disinfection.
In order to achieve the above object, a toilet according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a toilet seat supporting a body of a user, a sensor sensing a seating of the user when the user is seated on the toilet seat, And a charging battery for supplying power to the sensor and the ultraviolet LED lamp, and a timing when the pressure sensed at the user's seat and the timing at which the pressure is released And a control unit for controlling the charging timing of the rechargeable battery and the timing of turning on / off the ultraviolet LED lamp.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of controlling a toilet by a control device, the method comprising: (a) sensing a seating of the user when the user is seated on the toilet seat of the toilet; ) Turning on an ultraviolet LED lamp for disinfecting and disinfecting the toilet seat when the user's departure is detected from the toilet seat part; and (c) turning off the illuminated lamp when a predetermined time has elapsed after the ultraviolet LED lamp is turned on Wherein the step (a) comprises charging the rechargeable battery to supply power to the ultraviolet LED lamp and the sensor for sensing the seating, in accordance with the sensed pressure at the time of the seating of the user, and (b) And stops charging the rechargeable battery when the user's departure from the changeover seat is detected.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the power consumption of a UV-LED lamp for sterilization and disinfection can be reduced.
In addition, the lifetime of the UV-LED lamp can be increased by minimizing the exposure of the UV-LED lamp to the light source.
It should be understood that the effects of the present invention are not limited to the above effects and include all effects that can be deduced from the detailed description of the present invention or the configuration of the invention described in the claims.
