Smart toilet seat cover device for toilet bowl {SMART STOOL COVER DEVICE FOR TOILET SEAT}

The present invention relates to a smart toilet seat cover device, and more particularly, when the toilet seat is not in use, it can be sterilized and sterilized at all times, thereby improving hygiene and usability, and automatically recognizing the user's access to the toilet cover. It relates to a smart toilet seat cover device that can be opened and closed to secure functionality and product competitiveness, and can be quickly settled and used even in winter.

In general, toilets are used in almost all houses, especially apartments, because of the advantages of hygiene management and advantages such as being able to conveniently see toilets.

In addition, the toilet bowl is made of porcelain (ceramic material), and the toilet seat assembled at the top allows you to sit on top of the toilet while viewing stool or urine, and to subscribe to newspapers. Rather than the idea that it is a dirty place to see the bay, the concept of a place where you can clean your body and take a rest is emerging.

However, there is a factor that has a bad influence on the positional concept of a space for rest, and this is the case when the base that touches the skin of the toilet viewer is not clean.

As such, there are cases of not cleaning the toilet for a long period of time because the toilet seat is not clean, but the main reason is that the main reason is that when you urinate, the toilet bowl is not raised and the residual urine is dropped on the floor and dirt remains. to be.

In particular, when the next user is a male, there is no problem with cleanliness and there is no problem when viewing the toilet. However, when a woman uses it, there is an inconvenience of having to wipe the surface of the toilet seat one by one, and in the case of a sensitive woman, In some cases, they give up on toileting.

In order not to create such a situation, it is necessary to put the toilet seat on the toilet and urinate, but it is generally not necessary to do so, and there is a problem that the base of the toilet bowl is easily contaminated due to the above reasons.

In other words, in the case of men, if the base is not opened during urination, the base or toilet is contaminated with dirt, causing discomfort to the users afterwards. After that, if the user lowers the pedestal as necessary and puts it horizontally on the toilet body, then the user has the inconvenience of having to lift the pedestal again, and when the pedestal is lifted by hand, harmful bacteria are the most. It is unsanitary because you can touch the lower part of the basin where you live, and if the basin is lowered, water splashes from the upper part of the basin by a shower in a narrow bathroom. A number of problems have occurred, such as causing waste.

The base member 100 is formed in a shape corresponding to the upper surface of the toilet seat, and may be formed to have a size corresponding to the size of the toilet seat.

Here, a pedestal handle 110 is formed on one edge of the pedestal member 100 so that a user can manually lower the pedestal member 100.

As will be described later, in the case where the pedestal handle 110 is formed on the pedestal member 100 as described above, in a state in which both the pedestal member 100 and the cover means 200 are raised by the first driving means, the user can use the pedestal handle ( 110) and slightly moved downward, only the seat member 100 is rotated so that it is seated on the upper surface of the toilet seat. At this time, the seat member 100 is slowly rotated by free rotation of a driving motor constituting the first driving means to be seated on the upper surface of the toilet without impact.

Next, the cover means 200 that is rotatably coupled to one end of the pedestal member 100 and covers the pedestal member 100 is formed to have a size capable of covering the pedestal member 100. It includes a main cover member 210, and a mounting member 220, which is coupled to one surface (inner portion) of the main cover member 210 with a space, and to which the sterilization lamp 300 and a deodorizing means are mounted.

The main cover member 210 includes a cover plate portion 211 having a size and shape capable of covering the seat member, and a side wall portion protruding a predetermined length from the edge of the cover plate portion 211 to one side ( 212).

The sterilization lamp 300 is configured on the mounting member 220 and includes a UV sterilization lamp and/or an infrared sterilization lamp having a shape corresponding to the shape of the pedestal member 100.

In the present invention, preferably, the sterilization lamp 300 includes a substantially elliptical UV sterilization lamp formed to correspond to the shape of the seat member 100, and an infrared sterilization lamp provided outside or inside the UV sterilization lamp. desirable.

Next, the deodorizing means is formed in the central portion of the mounting member 220 of the cover means 200 and provided with a deodorizing blowing fan mounting portion 311 having a plurality of ventilation holes, and mounting on the deodorizing blowing fan mounting portion 311 A deodorizing blower fan 312, a deodorizing member (not shown) provided on the blowing side of the deodorizing blower fan 312, and a blower formed in the side wall 212 of the main cover member 210 (not shown) ).

Subsequently, the first driving means includes a mounting block provided on one side of the rear end of the pedestal member 100, a driving motor for driving a pedestal member including a drive shaft provided in the mounting block and having a gear portion at one end, and It is formed integrally with the rotation shaft of the pedestal member 100 and includes a gear portion engaged with the drive shaft of the driving motor for driving the pedestal member.

And the second driving means is provided in the mounting block, the drive motor for driving the cover means including a drive shaft having a gear portion at one end, and integrally formed with the rotation shaft of the cover means 200, the drive for driving the cover means It includes a gear unit engaged with the drive shaft of the motor.

Here, the driving motor of the second driving means may be configured in a mounting block provided on the other side of the rear end of the pedestal member 100.

Subsequently, the user access detection means may be composed of an object detection sensor provided in one of the base member 100 and the cover means 200 to detect the user's approach. As such a user access detection means, a known object detection sensor may be employed, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Next, the seating or not detecting means provided in the base member 100 and configured to detect whether the user is seated, a pressure sensor that detects whether the user is seated by detecting a pressing force, or a temperature to detect whether the user is seated or not. It can be composed of a temperature sensor to detect.

Subsequently, the control circuit module 400 includes an on/off control circuit unit 410 for controlling on/off of the device, a user access signal receiving circuit unit 420 receiving a detection signal from the user access detection means, The first drive based on a received signal from the seating presence signal receiving circuit unit 430, the user access signal receiving circuit unit 420 and the seating presence signal receiving circuit unit 430 receiving the detection signal of the seating presence detection means. A driving means control circuit unit 440 for controlling driving of the means and the second driving means, and a reverse motion detection control circuit unit for detecting (encoding method) an operation in the reverse direction (opposite to opening) of the pedestal member 100 and the cover unit ( 450), and a sterilization and deodorization control circuit unit for controlling the operation of the sterilization lamp 300 and the deodorization means based on the received signals from the seating or not signal receiving circuit unit 430 and the seating member reverse motion detection control circuit unit 450 ( 460).

As shown in FIG. 5, the control circuit module 400 configured as described above detects the user's access by the user access detection means in the state of being in a standby state until user access, as shown in FIG. 5, from the user access signal receiving circuit unit 410. Upon receiving the detection signal, the driving means control circuit unit 440 drives the first driving means to open the base member 100 together with the cover means 200.
