Description

200409847 玖、發明說明: 相關申請案 本案為美國申請案第1 〇/〇32,442號之連續部分,該案申 請曰為2001年12月21曰(尚在審查中)。該案進一步請求美國 5 臨時申請案第60/418,122號,申請日2002年10月12日之權 益,該案全部揭示以引用方式併入此處。 t發明所屬之技術領域3 發明背景 本發明係有關馬桶及小便斗設施之自動沖洗閥致動裝 10 置特別為增添沖洗閥操作裝置,其適合附著於現有沖洗閥 機構,供移動此種沖洗閥機構之致動手柄。 t 】 大眾覺醒個人衛生以及省水議題,促成公共衛生及個 人衛生以及用水設施製造商的反應,製造商發展系統其可 15避免人類接觸可能含有疾病散播病菌之環境表面,且減少 冲水用量來免除浪費。 多種目前衛生設備用之馬桶及小便斗沖洗裝置係藉一 水控制閥操作,該裝置包括一人工操作沖洗手柄,其適合 由使用者於用過衛生設施之後抓握手柄且移動之。典型閥 2〇配置例如係以美國專利第7,776,812及3,399,860號舉例說 明。但該等閥致動裝置呈現數項㈣。該等問題包括經由 衛生教育瞭解公用衛生設備若先前係由帶有傳染病或其它 疾病的人使用,則可能在接觸時將疾病散播開來,造成衛 生设施的使用者極為猶豫不前,不肯接觸沖洗手柄而冒著 5 患病的風險。結果將衛生設施留下未沖,人類排泄廢物留 在馬桶及小便斗,明顯造成不衛生條件以及衛生設施環境 的穢垢。因此有沖洗閥機構而人們不去使用,導致極端不 衛生且不合意的情況。 此外多種現有衛生裝置之沖洗手柄操作閥機構之構造 為使用者可能抓住手柄過長時間,保持閥機構呈開啟狀態 比馬桶或小便斗沖洗所需時間更長。如此顯然浪費水,尤 其於水為稀少 > 源的該等地球角落構成重大問題。又過量 用水導致浴室的整體安裝與維修上額外不必要的成本。 已經開發數種系統,試圖解決現有衛生設施之人工沖 洗控制機構之控水問題。此等系統包括下列結構,其可以 自動感應器致動之沖洗閥操作裝置(也聯結至目前1 1 〇伏特 電力糸統)替代人工操作之沖洗閥機構。此種系統顯示於美 國專利弟4,793,588號。使用此種單元替換現有人工操作沖 洗手柄裝置之成本昂貴,特別於飯店、辦公大樓等建築物, 該等建築物目前已經於衛生設施安裝許多人工手柄操作之 沖洗機構。此種更換需要機械工及水電工工作,以美國專 利第4,793,588號揭示之該型自動裝置更換無數人工操作沖 洗裝置之安裝成本咼得驚人。此外此項更換計劃也需要關 閉供水系統或關閉供水至閥,直到閥機構更換後為止,此 點對飯店、辦公室及其它建築結構不合所需。此外,此種 更換計劃也需要申請建築許可。 現有自動化感應器致動沖洗閥操作機構之另一項問題 為必須安裝於高度不同的設施上。例如標準馬桶之閥沖洗 200409847 機構通常位置係低於設計由殘障人士使用之馬桶之沖洗閥 機構。用於此種高量衛生設施,沖洗閥殼體結構高度約為 使用者肩高高度。由於裝置安裝感應器,故當裝置安裝於 高量設施時,感應器定向成一種角度,該角度無法回應於 5設施的使用,結果衛生設施仍然維持未被沖洗。 另一項嘗試自動操作衛生設施之人工沖洗閥機構之嘗 試顯示於美國專利第3,〇56,143號,該案揭示以門操作之電 磁閥裝置,供於每次馬桶隔間的門被開啟時按下人工沖洗 手柄。但美國專利第3,056,143號所示裝置有多項缺點。先 1〇 W技術結構之原有閥殼體必須拆卸、重新工作且重新組裝 來接納支持電磁閥的托架。如此需要重新組構閥殼體。此 外,參考安裳結構之懸臂娜質,將導致電磁賊動時托 架移動,以及沖洗手柄的不當致動。此外該參考裝置係連 繫至該馬桶隔間所在建築物之電力系統,造成額外安裝成 15本。參考裝置每次於門開啟時將操作,因此沖洗裝置於每 次使用時操作兩次。如此造成的水浪費相當顯著,考慮衛 生設施於許多安裝處所每月重複操作4,〇〇〇次。此外,於參 考裝置,現有沖洗手柄維持暴露,因此手柄可以人工操作 或人工踢動,原因在於某些使用者盡量避免接觸手柄。此 2〇種手柄的暴露也將透過人工操作導致用水的浪費。 當設計-種裝置,其將自動操作全部現有人工沖洗裝 置之沖洗閥時,-項重要考量為隨著管線水壓的增高,共 通沖洗閥之手柄形成進-步由其初始位置前進樞轉延伸而 實際沖洗馬桶。例如沖洗可能出現於手柄樞轉之半途,手 7 柄完全樞轉時水厭兔 至馬50 psi,但可能要求樞轉通過其全部 動範圍之90%來诖士、、 个這成从100 psi沖洗。為了提供面對此等 柄位置料的料m «手柄驅线其完全活動位 置或右手柄與閥殼體之手柄延伸部分間並未放置緩衝材

手柄至沖洗閥機構。一張力裝置係設置於沖洗手柄與沖洗 10 閥機構間,來於沖洗手柄已經藉自動沖洗手柄致動機構而 移動至第二沖洗位置後,迫使沖洗手柄回到非沖洗的第一 位置。本發明提供一種精簡殼體,其具有電池操作之馬達 傳動之沖洗手柄致動機構於該殼體,當馬達被激勵時,該 機構移動手柄至第二位置。張力裝置於完成一次沖洗操作 15 時將手柄返回其第一位置。 一感應器聯結至該殼體,以及一於本發明殼體内部之 計時電路於感應的殼體附著之衛生設施使用時,操作馬 達。計時電路也可讓衛生單元以預定間隔時間沖洗,而與 衛生單元之是否使用無關,此處於衛生單元未被使用的夜 20 間,可能希望添加抗菌劑及清潔劑至衛生設施或由衛生設 施移開抗菌劑及清潔劑。殼體係活動式安裝於沖洗閥機 構,殼體包括一凸緣面毗鄰於沖洗閥機構之平坦面,如此 防止殼體旋轉,或以其它方式相對於沖洗閥機構移動,俾

現沖洗動作時凸輪83繼續旋轉。因手柄3〇無法移動,故手 柄30與凸輪83間之作用力經由齒輪㈣傳輸至活動支承板 ^板上絲齒輪㈣及凸輪83。此力造成活動⑽對抗 辦黃99的偏轉而逆時針(箭頭F)旋轉通過環繞針约之相對小 弧,直到活動板81位於第13圖所示位置為止。如此增加凸 15 轉中心1〇5與手柄3〇外表面間之距離,允許凸輪83繼 項逆時針旋轉而不造成馬達56停轉。 當凸輪83到達第14圖所示位置時,手柄3〇開始向上移 動而返回其非操作位置(第12圖)。手柄3〇與凸輪_之作用 力減弱,活較承細叫89為巾心順 20 被作動時引==彳物胁馬達56再度 :===,範㈣ 24 200409847 99之拉力設定為高於最大扭矩來到達手柄3〇之全停位置, 但低於馬達56及凸輪60形成的扭矩。本例中,假設凸輪及 馬達於電池位準低發展出之最大扭矩為25叹碎。本例中,

一具體實施例中,當接收到來自兩個可能之信號源之 激勵信號時,第15圖之馬達56作動:(1)來自移動感應器或 紅外線感應器或其它感應偵測器1〇〇之輸出指示衛生設施 的使用;或(2)定時器200的輸出。任何來源的輸出將經由控 5制「NOR」閘2〇1而導致馬達%之激勵信號。 為了馬達56維持於去活化態,控制NOR閘201必須於各 次輸出有邏輯0。二輸出或NOR閘201之邏輯0導致NOR閘 201輸出之邏輯1以及反相器202輸出之邏輯〇。反相器202輸 出〇,造成電晶體Q4及Q5維持於非傳導態,結果導致無任 10 何電壓施加至馬達56。 NOR閘201之二輸入端之邏輯〇造成電阻器-電容器(RC) 計時電路R1及C1之電容器C1饋至供應電壓值(3.3伏特)。瞬 間施用正脈衝至NOR閘201之任一輸入端,造成RC計時電 路之電容器C1快速放電至0。於電容器C1以及反相器202輸 15 入端之邏輯〇造成馬達56經由電晶體Q4及Q5而作動。馬達 56之作動時間係由NOR閘201之輸入端返回〇之後,RC計時 電路Rl、C1之充電時間決定。 由感應器100於NOR閘201輸入端產生正向脈衝之情況 係由模式開關S1及S2之狀態決定。當模式開關S1及S2於第 20 15圖所示狀態(衛生模式),當使用者接近衛生設施時以及當 使用者離開衛生設施時馬達56將被作動。當只有開關S1被 關閉時(正常模式),馬達56只對衛生設施的每次使用作動一 次。當只有開關S2關閉時,馬達56將只有於每隔一次使用 衛生設施後被作動。 27 200409847 開關S1及S2於衛生模式(如第15圖所示si及S2),因開 關S2之開態,且因電阻器R10將輸入信號拉至極低值,邏輯 0施加至NAND閘204之一輸入端。NAND閘204之一輸入端 之0遮斷來自感應器100之任何控制信號之通過NAND閘 5 204。相反地,來自開關S2之邏輯〇造成NAND閘205之邏輯 1通過反相器206。NAND閘205之一輸入端之邏輯1允許來 自感應器100之控制信號經NAND閘203、205及208而送至 控制NOR閘2(Π。 感應器100於去活化態,邏輯0維持於互連裝置210。互 1〇 連裝置210之邏輯0(經過一段時間後)也導致反相器209及 211輸入端之邏輯0。反相器209及211輸入端之邏輯〇造成邏 輯1輸入NAND閘208之輸入端,結果邏輯〇出現於控制NOR 閘201之輸入端。 當因使用者接近衛生設施而作動感應器100時,互連裝 15 置210升高至邏輯1。互連裝置210改成邏輯1,造成由反相 器211輸出端輸出負向脈衝。負向脈衝傳輸至控制NOR閘 201,造成馬達56經由NAND閘208、205及203的作動。來 自反相器211之負向脈衝之持續時間係由第二RC計時電路 R2、C2之電阻及電容值決定。 20 同理,當衛生設施使用者離開時(造成感應器100之去 活化),由反相器209輸出端輸出第二負向脈衝。第二負向 脈衝之持續時間係由第三RC計時電路R3、C3之電阻值及電 容值決定。 當自動沖洗手柄致動裝置50之開關SI、S2改成正常模 28 200409847 式(S1關;S2開)時,第一負向脈衝跨電阻器R4經開關81耗 散入電源供應器(3.3伏特)。將自動沖洗閥致動裝置5〇置於 正常模式,造成馬達56於每次衛生設施使用時(使用者離開 因而造成感應器100變成去活化時),藉由來自反相器2〇9通 5 過NAND閘208、205、203之負向脈衝而被作動一次。 當自動沖洗手柄致動裝置50置於省水模式(S2關)時, 唯有每隔一次使用衛生設施才作動馬達56(沖洗衛生設 備)。每隔一次使用後馬達56的作動係藉由來自通過NAND 閘208、205及203路徑之作動信號再度路由至通過NOR閘 10 207及NAND閘204及203之路徑達成。再度路由係經由經開 關52將邏輯1置於NAND閘204之一輸入端達成,以及經由 將邏輯0透過開關52及反相器206的使用置於NAND閘205 而達成。邏輯0之施用於NAND閘205之一輸入端,遮斷信 號之流經NAND閘205。邏輯1施用於NAND閘204之一輸入 15 端,允許來自NOR閘207之信號流經NAND閘204及203。 唯有於二輸入信號變成邏輯0時,NOR閘207才提供邏 輯1輸出。如前文說明,反相器209於每次感應器變去活化 態時提供負向脈衝。另一方面,D正反器212於每次感應器 100被作動時介於設定態與復置態間搖擺。每次感應器100 20 被作動時,正反器212於復置態,正反器217之輸出信號(邏 輯1)(於NOR閘207)遮斷來自反相器212之負向脈衝。遮斷每 隔一個脈衝之淨結果為隨時當開關S2關閉時,對每兩次衛 生設備的使用馬達56才作動一次(沖洗衛生設備)。 現在參照計時電路200,每4小時,作動馬達56之輸出 29 200409847 托旒由計時電路2〇〇提供於控制N〇R閘2〇1。輸出信號係經 由將7.5千赫兹(kHz)信號介於2ι〇、25及2i5計數器間平分提 t、 75千赫兹信號係由210計數器以及電阻電容網路r5、C5 組成之振i器產生。76千赫茲信號頻率於計時器電路2〇〇之 5 2及2計數器内部減低,且路由通過NAND閘215及213, P通後減低成為計時器電路2〇〇之21〇計數器内部之一個4小時 信號。 當電池嵌入自動沖洗手柄致動裝置5〇之電源單元1〇4 時,D正反器216係由電容器(:6與電阻器尺6間之交互作用進 10入設定態。D正反器215置於設定態,提供調整用校準間隔 (7·5分鐘)至可變電阻器VR1,控制感應器1〇〇之靈敏度。於 正常操作期間,藉按下校準鈕S3可調整感應器1〇〇之靈敏 度。 於校準期間,於D正反器216之Q輸出端的邏輯〇遮斷於 15 NAND閘215由25計數器送至215計數器之信號。D正反器216 之Q輸出端的邏輯1允許信號透過NAND閘214及213而由210 計數器直接至215計數器。7_5分鐘後215計數器之輸出信號外 加而觸發輸入端復置D正反器216。 為了於校準間隔期間輔助校準感應器1〇〇,發光二極體 20 (LED)D4提供視覺指示使用者係於感應器100之範圍。感應 器100作動所引起的負向脈衝B於校準間隔期間藉d正反器 216之Q輸出信號,透過反相器228及NAN;D閘216、217及220 而閘控制LED D4。校準間隔之後,提供來自感應器1〇〇之 視覺指示的第二輸出信號A係藉D正反器216之卩輸出信號 30 200409847 透過NAND閘219、217及220而被閘控制LEDD4。 一具體實施例中,感應器1〇〇之操作係使用二紅外線發 射器D2、D3輔助操作。來自計時電路2〇〇之25計數器的輸出 端之2·27赫茲信號於D正反器221内部平分對半,且於rc網 5路R7、C7内部成形,隨後透過電晶體Q6外加至發射二極體 D2、D3。 當使用者靠近衛生設備時,發射二極體D2、D3發射之 紅外光由使用者發射且被感應器1〇〇偵測得,以及經由電晶 體Q1-Q3放大。然後放大後之信號跨相移暫存器221_226相 10移1·15赫茲信號227,該信號也外加至發射二極體D2、D3。 來自感應器100之輸出信號於相移暫存器221-226内部被放 大與延遲,隨後透過二極體D6、D8而外加至互連裝置21〇。 經由參照第16圖之電路圖將更為明瞭於另一具體實施 例下之自動沖洗手柄致動裝置50之控制。前文說明之模組 15 式殼體單元52之馬達56係藉以下三種可能事件之任一者作 動:(1)由使用者按鈕106之使用作動;(2)由移動感應器或 壓力感應器100作動;或(3)程式規劃於間隔時間計時器TR2 之時間間隔的逾時(第16圖)。間隔時間計時器可用於長時間 無活動期(例如每隔2小時)作動沖洗機構5〇。於各項事件 20 後,正常為關之接點CR1將復置計時器TR2供於另一段間隔 時間之後再度作動。 於馬達56藉信號產生裝置而作動後,讓接點cri跨信 號產生農置電接點為閉合,俾維持馬達56之功率經歷足夠 時間讓減速齒輪系58之齒輪62旋轉通過360度。週期計時器 31 200409847 TR1經程式規劃而於去活化馬達56之前有足夠的旋轉時 間。齒輪62旋轉360度,讓附接於齒輪62之凸輪60將沖洗手 柄30由第一位置(第2圖)移動至第二位置(第3圖)。當凸輪6〇 完成360度旋轉時,週期計時器TR1逾時,去活化馬達56, 5此時沖洗機構10内部的彈簧38如前文說明將沖洗手柄3〇返 回第一位置(第2圖)。 齒輪62及凸輪6〇之旋轉定位係由剛性安裝於齒輪以周 邊之感應器活化元件Π4提供。當齒輪62位於第一位置時, 位置感應器110藉感應器致動元件114作動。當齒輪62旋轉 10超出第一位置之外時,位置感應器110變成去活化,直到齒 輪62(及感應器致動元件114)再度返回第一位置為止。 第17圖為電源/電路模組54之另一具體實施例之電路

is a continuous part of US Application No. 10 / 〇32,442, and the application is December 21, 2001 (under review). The case further requested US 5 Provisional Application No. 60 / 418,122, with the application date of October 12, 2002, and the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. The technical field to which the invention belongs 3 Background of the invention The present invention relates to automatic flushing valve actuating devices for toilets and urinal facilities, especially for adding a flushing valve operating device, which is suitable for being attached to an existing flushing valve mechanism for moving such flushing valves Actuating handle of the mechanism. t] The public awakens personal hygiene and water saving issues, and promotes the response of manufacturers of public health and personal hygiene and water facilities. Manufacturers develop systems that can prevent humans from coming into contact with environmental surfaces that may contain disease-borne pathogens and reduce the amount of flushing water used. Eliminate waste. Many current toilet and urinal flushing devices for sanitary equipment are operated by a water control valve. The device includes a manually operated flushing handle, which is suitable for a user to grasp the handle and move it after using the sanitary facility. A typical valve 20 configuration is described, for example, in U.S. Patent Nos. 7,776,812 and 3,399,860. However, these valve actuating devices present several items. Such issues include understanding through health education that if public health equipment was previously used by people with infectious or other diseases, the disease may spread when exposed, causing users of health facilities to be extremely hesitant and unwilling Risk of illness by touching the flush handle. As a result, sanitary facilities were left unwashed, and human waste was left in toilets and urinals, which obviously caused unsanitary conditions and dirt in the sanitary facilities environment. As a result, there is a flush valve mechanism that people do not use, resulting in an extremely unsanitary and undesirable situation. In addition, a variety of existing sanitary devices are configured with a flush handle operating valve mechanism in which a user may hold the handle for too long, keeping the valve mechanism in an open state takes longer than a toilet or urinal flush. This is a clear waste of water, especially in those corners of the earth where water is a scarce > source, a major problem. Excessive use of water causes additional unnecessary costs for the overall installation and maintenance of the bathroom. Several systems have been developed in an attempt to solve the problem of water control in manual flushing control facilities in existing sanitary facilities. These systems include the following structures, which can replace the manually operated flushing valve mechanism by an automatic sensor actuated flushing valve operating device (also connected to the current 110 volt power system). Such a system is shown in US Patent No. 4,793,588. The use of such units to replace existing manual-operated flushing handle devices is expensive, especially in buildings such as restaurants and office buildings. These buildings have already installed many manual-operated flushing mechanisms in sanitary facilities. This type of replacement requires the work of mechanics and plumbers. The installation cost of replacing numerous manual flushing devices with this type of automatic device disclosed in US Patent No. 4,793,588 is staggering. In addition, this replacement plan also needs to close the water supply system or shut off the water supply to the valve until the valve mechanism is replaced, which is not desirable for restaurants, offices and other building structures. In addition, such a replacement program also requires a building permit. Another problem with existing automated sensor actuated flush valve operating mechanisms is that they must be installed in facilities of varying heights. For example, the valve flushing of a standard toilet 200409847 is usually lower than the flushing valve mechanism of a toilet designed for use by a disabled person. For such high-volume sanitary facilities, the structure height of the flush valve housing is about the height of the user's shoulders. Because the device is installed with a sensor, when the device is installed in a high-volume facility, the sensor is oriented at an angle that cannot respond to the use of the 5 facilities, and as a result, the sanitary facilities remain unwashed. Another attempt to manually operate a manual flush valve mechanism for sanitary facilities is shown in US Patent No. 3,056,143, which discloses a door operated solenoid valve device for the door of each toilet compartment to be opened When pressing the manual flush handle. However, the device shown in U.S. Patent No. 3,056,143 has several disadvantages. The original valve housing of the first 10 W technical structure must be disassembled, reworked and reassembled to receive the bracket supporting the solenoid valve. This requires restructuring the valve housing. In addition, the cantilever quality of the reference Ansang structure will cause the bracket to move when the electromagnetic thief moves, and improper actuation of the flushing handle. In addition, the reference device was connected to the electrical system of the building where the toilet compartment was located, resulting in an additional installation of 15 copies. The reference device is operated each time the door is opened, so the flushing device is operated twice each time it is used. The water waste caused by this is quite significant. Consider that the health facility repeats operations 4,000 times a month at many installations. In addition, in the reference device, the existing flushing handle remains exposed, so the handle can be manually operated or manually kicked because some users try to avoid touching the handle. The exposure of these 20 handles will also cause waste of water through manual operation. When designing a device that will automatically operate the flushing valves of all existing manual flushing devices, an important consideration is that as the water pressure in the pipeline increases, the handle of the common flushing valve forms a step forward from its initial position and pivots to extend And actually flush the toilet. For example, flushing may occur halfway through the pivoting of the handle. When the 7 handle of the hand is fully pivoted, the water is tired from 50 psi to the horse, but the pivot may be required to pass through 90% of its full range of motion. This is from 100 psi. rinse. In order to provide the material facing the position of these handles, the handle is driven in its fully active position or there is no cushioning material placed between the right handle and the handle extension of the valve housing.俾 Make sure to rinse at high ^. Due to the tolerance of the material 4, the position of the "final drop" and "fully known stop" of the handle = "metal to metal stop" is slightly different between the various sanitary equipments. "70 Kings down" position, such a "fully down" position may exceed the ^ "fully down" position. In this case, the motor-driven cam valve housing will stop before the cam completes its rotation due to the contact of the valve handle with the double-metal, metal-to-metal. Therefore, the handle of the :: movement must provide a certain degree of f-curve or "Drop: such a difference between the operating parameters of the handle. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of automatic punching> paste actuation equipment, Can be used to perform any mechanical work in the original manual flushing, manual flushing mechanism without the need for the original hair month-purpose is to provide-a kind of automatic flushing for easy installation in the original flushing structure, so 卩Suzaki puts ^ the flushing mechanism housing to prevent the actuating device from operating during the operation period. Another point of the present invention is to provide a flushing valve actuating device operated by a battery and operated by a toilet, located in a toilet or urinal unit. Install the line in the original. ~ ,,-to the sanitation of the present invention-the purpose is to provide-an automatic operation of the original sanitary unit flush handle mechanism actuating device, the device can respond to The surgeon is actuated without using it, or via a timing device, which automatically activates the flushing handle at predetermined intervals. Another object of the present invention is to provide an automatic operation actuation of the original sanitary unit flushing handle mechanism. The device can be actuated by the sensor in response to the use of the facility. The automatically operated actuating device can be installed at a certain angle on the original flush valve housing structure, so the sensor is suitable for facilities installed at low and high places. Both can respond. Another object of the present invention is to provide a simplified and self-contained unit with automatic operation of the flush valve handle actuating device, which is convenient to attach to the original manual flush valve mechanism of the original sanitary order 70, There is no need to connect the actuating device to any external power source or control source. Another object of the present invention is to provide a simplified self-contained flush valve handle actuating device, which can be automatically installed and aligned with the original flushing 阙The housing structure, through which the mounting structure has a sufficient torque for the operating machine inside the flushing handle actuating device to cause the operating mechanism to overcome the spring pressure of the valve housing acting on the flushing handle and to press the flushing handle Another purpose of the present invention is to provide a bending of the valve handle driving mechanism to prevent the handle from reaching its "fully lowered position" or "metal-to-metal stop". When the position "stop cam handle drive or other drive mechanism. 6 Another object of the present invention is to provide a simplified battery-operated self-contained ^ flush valve handle actuating device, which is operated with the minimum battery power not removed, thereby extending battery life. 200409847 Another object of the present invention is to provide a simplified self-contained flush valve handle actuating device, which is suitable for installation and is aligned with a variety of original flush valve housing structures. [Summary of the Invention] Summary of the Invention 5 These and other objects and advantages of the present invention are provided by a flushing handle device for automatically activating a flushing valve mechanism of a sanitary device, wherein the flushing handle extends outwardly from the flushing valve mechanism. The flush valve mechanism includes a flat outer surface that is adjacent to a coupling element that connects the flush handle to the flush valve mechanism. A tension device is arranged between the flushing handle and the flushing 10-valve mechanism. After the flushing handle has been moved to the second flushing position by the automatic flushing handle actuating mechanism, the flushing handle is forced to return to the non-flushing first position. The present invention provides a compact housing with a battery-operated motor-driven washing handle actuating mechanism in the housing. When the motor is activated, the mechanism moves the handle to the second position. The tensioning device returns the handle to its first position at the completion of a flush operation 15. An inductor is connected to the casing, and a timing circuit inside the casing of the present invention operates the motor when the induction casing is used in a sanitary facility. The timing circuit can also allow the sanitary unit to be flushed at predetermined intervals, regardless of whether the sanitary unit is used or not. Here, it may be desirable to add antibacterials and cleaning agents to the sanitary facility or remove it from the sanitary facility during the night when the sanitary unit is not used. Prescribe antibacterial and cleaning agents. The housing is movably mounted on the flushing valve mechanism. The housing includes a flange surface adjacent to the flat surface of the flushing valve mechanism. This prevents the housing from rotating or otherwise moving relative to the flushing valve mechanism. The drive handle actuator provides the required torque. 10 According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the structure includes a flange on the mounting bracket, and the flat rear surface of the shouting body 40 is rotated by about 15 degrees. Before the housing is rigidly mounted, the housing can be rotated to adjust the sensor's device force ... In another specific embodiment of the present invention, the housing includes first and second parts, which are enclosed and joined -Sleeve and _, so the solid insert half and U-brake are surrounded by the support and the shaft sleeve and the nut that are engaged with the flushing rod of the securely fixed housing to the sanitary fitting. In another embodiment of the present invention The first and second inserts include opposite sides along the insertion pawl. A nut sleeve is provided to engage the nut which is firmly fixed to the flushing pull to the sanitary fitting. The nut shaft sleeve includes the outer periphery of the nut shaft sleeve pawl ', the nut shaft sleeve pawl is aligned with the plug pawl, and is used to indicate the relative position of the casing and the health accessory. In another specific embodiment of the present invention, the motor drives the cam device to contact / middle; first, the handle is rotated by 360 degrees after the motor receives a short pulse of electric energy from the battery. The switch and latch circuit then connect the power to the motor, following the rotation of the cam. The cam surface is designed to initially press the flushing handle, and then allows the pulling device of the flushing valve mechanism to raise the handle back to the non-flushing position. The rotary cam that engages the flushing handle includes a partially flexible or shock-absorbing structure, such as a cam movable portion, and an elastic member is provided on the cam's opening, and is adjacent to the movable cam portion, allowing the flushing handle to move to its full stop. Qiu Zhi, while the cam continues to rotate 360 degrees, thus preventing the cam and the drive motor from stalling. This structure can compensate for the variation of the full stop position of the valve handle stop position due to the different valve handle stop positions, resulting in interference of the rotary cam at high water pressure. In another embodiment of the present invention, it is used for selective operation of washing hands. < Motor, reduction gear train and cam drive mechanism used for handle installation of the housing = metal plate, the mechanism is extended by a spring to the housing and deflected to its non-operating position. In these implementations, the bending between the live-feeding cam and the handle is installed for pivoting relative to the housing. The motor develops sufficient torque to drive any flushing handle against the force of the tensioning device of the flushing valve housing. When the driving cam rotates, or if the driving cam moves the flushing handle to its "fully lowered" position to complete the flushing operation, the additional torque generated by the motor causes the movable plate on which the motor, gear train and cam are mounted to rotate at a relatively small angle, This allows the cam to continue to rotate a full 36 degrees, at which point the motor plate pivots through the reverse angle and returns to its original non-operating position. ίο 15 The specific embodiment of the present invention is suitable for installation on an original manual-operated flushing handle mechanism without disassembling any original flushing valve mechanism structure or shutting off the water supply source. This device can be installed or removed instantly using simple hand tools, without the need for external piping or electrical connections. By eliminating the intrusion valve mechanism itself, the present invention can be installed on the original flushing mechanism without causing tilt. In addition, the present invention can be secured by existing maintenance personnel of a building without the need to apply for a building license. The housing is stable to prevent 20 rotations and lateral movement relative to the flushing mechanism. The present invention is defined by the scope of patent application, and the content of section B of this invention is by no means regarded as limiting the scope of patent application. Other aspects and advantages of the present invention will be described later in connection with preferred specific embodiments. 12 200409847 Brief description of the drawings.

The flushing water is supplied to the flushing mechanism 10 through the water inlet 12, and the water is delivered to the chamber 14 under pressure. The chamber 14 is usually closed by a valve 16. The front end of the valve 16 is a water delivery pipe 18, which directly leads to a sanitary unit such as a toilet or a urinal (not shown in the figure). The valve 16 includes a stem 20 that extends downwardly from a tube 18. The upper portion 22 of the stem 20 is coupled to the tiltable valve operating mechanism 24. The lower part 26 of the stem 20 is adapted to be contacted by a movable jumper 28, which is mechanically connected to the flushing handle 30 through part of the ball joint connection mechanism%. When the flushing handle is manually moved from the first position (as shown in FIG. 101) through the arc 34 to the second downward position (see FIG. 3), the jumper 28 moves to the right, and the jumper contacts the lower end of the stem 20. And as viewed in the figure, tilt the stem 20 to the right. This oblique movement of the stem 20 causes the valve 16 to rotate extremely around the center of the point%, so the water delivery pipe ^ is opened, and the chamber M passes through the pipe 18 to the pressurized washing water passage, thus rinsing the sanitary unit. The tensioning device in the form of 15 I compression spring 38 is compressed when the washing handle 30 is released. The spring 38 compresses the handle 30 back to the position shown in the figure. Therefore, let the stem 20 force the spring 38 to move the washing handle 30 through the arc 34: Back to it: Straight position and closed _. This suspends the flushing operation through the urn. It was determined through experiments that a force was needed to fight the projectile. 20 // The mechanism 10 is covered in the shell 40, and the shell washing handle 3G extends through the open bid. The opening σ42 is resident in two sets of fine nuts 46 and attached to the housing 40 in a movable manner. Most of the hexagonal outer surface ’is provided with an ordinary open-end wrench for connecting 5 daggers—a flat outer front and rear ㈣ _) ten outer 16 200409847 forming the outer shell 40. The 10th port T /, J See Jianping i said the rear flat part of the housing is located behind the front flat part 40 shown in Figure 10-. . The outer surface of the sleeve 44 which preferably surrounds the handle 30 includes a circular buffer surface ... The outer surface is made of a hard but ductile plastic composition that can be absorbed when the handle is moved to its full stop position and the material sleeve is shown stress. Ji Yu Chu = Ming Zhi self-washing handle shaft device _ specific examples are shown in the younger brother 2-6®, the outline is expressed by the job 5G. Flushing of this asset 15 20 The actuating device 50 includes two main components, namely a modular housing unit such as a power supply / circuit module 54. The casing is suitable for the method described later, and the casing of the flushing mechanism installed above the flushing handle 30 is purchased. There is a motor 56 inside the front housing unit%. The motor is mechanically connected to the actuating element or driving element (cam 6G) through the reduction gear ㈣, and the cam ⑼ is installed in the reduction gear train by the needle M. 58 on the gear 62. Looking at Figure 2, when% is actuated, the gear rotates the gear & counterclockwise. Cam 60: Direction: Move ’to the flushing handle 30, and move the flushing handle 30 downward to the position shown in Figure 3. If the cushioning surface 45 is not provided, the handle 30 will contact the sleeve material to produce a "metal-to-metal" abutment. When the cushioning surface 45 is provided, the same portion of the handle 30 contacts the cushioning surface 45 at the "fully downward" position of the handle. The movement of the flushing handle 30 opposes the force of the compression spring 38, and advances the jumper needle to the right, tilts the stem 20, and activates the flushing mechanism 10. Details will be described later. After the motor% power is cut off, the compression spring 38 (section 1) Return the flushing handle 30 to the position shown in Figure 2. In the embodiment, the motor 56 is rigidly mounted on the side wall of the housing 52 17 64. The same applies to the gear system 58 and the gear system is mounted on the main shaft in a rotating manner. The main shaft has an axis. 66, 68, and 70, the main shaft is rigidly erected on the side wall of the housing 52. During the operation of the motor 56, and during the movement of the flushing handle from the position shown in Figure 2 to the position shown in the second item, 'the spring 38 is applied through the flushing handle 3G Any counter-torque is counteracted by the force acting on the cam 60, the gear train 58, and the motor 56 via the housing 52. Therefore, the first embodiment of the present invention provides a women's clothing structure that is rigid and easy to remove. Between the housing unit 52 and the washing mechanism housing 40.

Each movable insert 474, 480 contains a series of pawls or teeth 475, 485 along its inner surface. Each of the movable inserts 474 and 480 includes a needle 475 and 481, which is a hole (not shown in the figure) inside the detachable engagement bracket 74, 80 and the cutout portions 90 and 92. The movable inserts 474 and 48 may be made of a hard but malleable plastic composition. 2〇 As shown in Fig. M ', the nut shaft sleeve 446 includes two nut shaft sleeve halves 447, 448, and each of the nut shaft sleeve halves 447, 448 including the nut half cutout half shown in Fig. 25 Firmly fixed together. As known in the forming industry, the two nut bushing halves 447, 448 can be firmly fixed together by beads or straps 449. When the nut bushing halves 447, 448 are firmly fixed together, the nut cut 20 200409847 divides the half to form a nut cutout 450 that is assembled to engage the nut 46. In addition, the nut sleeve 446 includes a one-piece structure, which includes a nut cutout portion 45 and is configured to engage the nut 46. Nut bushings can be made of a hard but ductile plastic composition. 5 The towel collar 446 further includes a series of pawls or serrations 490 along at least a portion of its periphery. The pawl 490 aligns the pawls 475, 485 along the inserts 474, 480. The preferred pawl 490 series extends along the periphery of the nut shaft sleeve 446 for a sufficient period to indicate the position of the automatic flushing handle actuating device 50 above the nut 46 to provide a degree of rotation relative to the flat surface of the general body. The ability to indicate the position of the movable plug-in 10474, 48G above the nut sleeve peach provides the degree of control of the finer sensor angle that can be achieved by installing an automatic flushing actuator 50 to the flushing mechanism housing 40. 4. ^ In a small specific embodiment, the cam 60 is rigid 15 20 fixed to the gear 62. When the motor 56 is excited, as shown in the figure, the cam 60 rotates counterclockwise in the gear 62 (arrow A ). As shown in Fig. ^, The cam 60 is composed of a main body portion 63 and a flexible main body portion M, and the main borrowing portion 67 is separated and engaged. A space 69 'is provided between the main body portion 65 of the cam 60, and a spring 71 or other passage 73 provided with a proper bias to the two main body portions 63 is provided. The inner surface of the elastic material 75 is a flexible body portion 65 and the hinge portion is still away from the main body portion 63 of the cam 6G in the outward direction. The elastic band of 73 :: Γ cam 6〇 provides excessive resistance to the movement of the flexible body portion 65 IT: down and away from the body portion 63. Irreplaceable Ellipse 71 Insertion of Space 69-Flat Ellipse 21, Upper Flange 77 and Lower Flange 79, 81 for each Flat Elbow, Suitable for Inserting on the Surface 65 of the Resistive Body 65 from the Cam Body 63 Slotted surface M (Figure ^ Not ^ No). As shown in Figure 4, when the cam system is in its non-operation mode, the periphery outside: 0 is substantially shaped. The lower end of the cam 60 is non-operating at the cam 60. 2 = _ but not necessarily contacting the washing handle 3 is called the surface, such as, = =: refer to the specific embodiment of 2 ', when the motor 56 excitation system rotates counterclockwise through the reduction gear Department 58, cam 60 10 two mouths and two feet, as shown in Section 4. Rotate counterclockwise through the short arc of the ^ cam 60 to contact the handle 3Q in a circle, and then start pushing the handle down, following the action. Cai Bing 30 reached its "full stop" position, as explained above, causing flushing 15 5 to continue to rotate after reaching its full stop position (the 60th continues at the contact point in the counterclockwise direction. When the cam hits a bull, it will slew downwards. From the perspective of FIG. 6, the handle 30 cannot be moved in advance. Thus, the handle 3 is applied to the cam 20 == Health; the body 65 is facing the main _, __, and 1_ Yu 71.!: The continuation of the passing cam 60 The outer periphery of the screw is finally moved away from the handle ^ body 65. The outer periphery of the knob does not contact the handle 30. The cam 60 is in phase with the main body of the cam 60. The cam 60 is designed to rotate when the cam 60 rotates beyond its position shown in Figure 6, and the needle. At position 61, handle 30 is up to 2 under the force of spring 38, and the hand is allowed to be shown in Figure W.) 'Until cams 60 and 22 are in non-operation position, the cam and handle return to their respective positions ^ (such as the first 4)). When the cam 60 is rotated from the position shown in FIG. 6 to the non-operating position of the ^ th action group, the flexible body portion 65 moves away from the main body portion 63 of the cam 60 under the force of the spring 71. > • Over-cut 69-width turning spring 71 accumulates in the camber camber and allows ^ to rotate, beyond the handle 30 to reach the full stop position, regardless of where the full stop is. In this way, when the handle 30 reaches its full stop position, the cam 6Q and the motor 56 stop rotating when the cam holds ,,,, && turns. 10 15 port Another specific embodiment of the handle 30 drive mechanism is shown in Figs. 7-9. The drive mechanism includes camber to prevent the motor 56 from turning when the handle reaches the full stop position. In this embodiment, the motor 56 is mounted on a support plate 81 that can be moved laterally, and all the gears forming the reduction gear train 58 are all rotatable on the tongue-type support plate 81. When the motor 56 is actuated, the cam 83 (Fig. 7) is rotated in a counterclockwise direction with the gear. The cam element includes a first surface portion 85 having an increasing diameter in the rotation direction (arrow C), and a second and slightly flat surface portion 87 having a decreasing diameter in the rotating direction of the cam 83. 20 As can be seen in FIG. 9, the movable support plate 81 of the specific embodiment shown is pivotally mounted on the housing unit 52 by a pin 89, and moves in a relatively small arc around the pin 89, as indicated by the arrow D. The needles 91 and 93 extend to the housing unit 52 via the slightly arcuate slots 95 and 97 of the movable support plate 81, allowing the plate 81 to pivotally move around the needle 89 (arrow D) in a small arc. A spring 99 or other suitable tensioning device is attached to the pin 101 attached to the plate 81 at one end and the 105 attached to the housing 52, and deflects the movable plate 81 around the needle 89 in a counterclockwise direction. The operation of the second embodiment of the present invention disclosed in Figs. 7-9 is best described with reference to Figs. 12-14. In the non-operational position of the second embodiment (FIG., FIG.), The cam 83 is at the position shown, and the second cam surface 87 is substantially parallel to the washing handle 3G with a slight distance. If necessary and if the thickness of the handle cam is suitable for the second cam surface 87 of the mouth cam 83, it can be adjacent to the handle cam. The spring 99 urges the movable plate 81 to the position shown in FIG. 10 When the Putian motor 56 is actuated, the cam 83 rotates in a counterclockwise direction (arrow E). As shown in FIG. 13, the first cam surface 85 contacts the flushing handle% and drives the handle 30 to its full stop position. When the handle reaches its full stop position, the cam 83 continues to rotate when a flushing action occurs. Since the handle 30 cannot be moved, the force between the handle 30 and the cam 83 is transmitted to the movable supporting plate ^ on the wire support plate ㈣ and the cam 83 through the gear ㈣. This force causes the movable block to counteract the deflection of Ban Huang 99 and rotate counterclockwise (arrow F) through a relatively small arc around the needle until the movable plate 81 is positioned at the position shown in FIG. Increasing the distance between the convex 15 rotation center 105 and the outer surface of the handle 30 in this way allows the cam 83 to rotate counterclockwise without causing the motor 56 to stop. When the cam 83 reaches the position shown in Fig. 14, the handle 30 starts moving upward and returns to its non-operation position (Fig. 12). The acting force of the handle 30 and the cam _ is weakened. Compared with the bearing, it is called 89 as the towel center. 20 When it is actuated == 彳 物 胁 motor 56 again: ===, Fan ㈣ 24 200409847 99 is set to be higher than The maximum torque comes to the full stop position of the handle 30, but is lower than the torque formed by the motor 56 and the cam 60. In this example, it is assumed that the maximum torque developed by the cam and the motor at a low battery level is 25 smashes. In this example, the pulling force acting on the spring 99 is established to provide 20 foot-pounds of torque. As a result, the bearing plate 81 and the cam 60 of the activity 5 have a torque larger than sufficient to drive even the highest torque to flush the handle 30 to its full stop position (Fig. 3). When the handle 30 reaches its full stop position (the assembly reaching this position), the extra torque of the motor drives the movable support plate 81 to pivot about the needle 89 (Figure 13), allowing the cam 60 to rotate a full 36 degrees . At the end of the rotation of the cam 60, the movable support plate 81 returns to its non-operation position W (FIG. 12). The operation of the cut / T / youchan handle actuator 50 occurs at any of a variety of predetermined events. Of these, one type of incident is the use of a sanitary unit. Another—the event is that the sanitary unit has not been used for a predetermined period of time. # When one of the predetermined events occurs, the 彳 e number generating device activates the automatic flushing handle actuating device%. 15 20 Referring to Figure 2, the signal generator includes sensors for detecting the use of sanitary facilities. The sense wires can be marked as 100 in the shaft hall, infrared _ response body track detector ’. When using the sensor to measure the use, it is interconnected to the right, and the electronic control device (f circuit board 1G2) between the power source and the driving mechanism in the type A body single 7052 provides-the electric energy pulse to the horse, the pulse The rotatable gear 62 is turned on, and at this time, the power of the motor 56 is cut off, and the spring 38 (Figure 1) raises the handle 30 to 1 Khan /, "H *, E 〃 closed & position 'such as mosquito Lang.- Specific :: Menbuyi " 104 composition-or multi-battery unit (four batteries shown in total) 'so no external power supply is required to operate the motor 56. Its dagger generation device includes a user button 106 or a circuit Plate 1007-25 200409847 interval trimmer, set at night time when the hygienic unit is used less frequently, periodically activate the automatic flush handle activation device 50. Taking the interval timer as an example, a day / night sensor 108 can be set at Daytime deactivation timer. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the control of the automatic flushing handle actuating device 50 can be best understood by referring to the circuit diagram 5 of FIG. 15 and the parts list of Table 1. IC1: Table 1 PC74HC74, CMOS, Philips (PHILIPS) or equivalent IC2: N74HC04, CMOS , Mitsubishi or equivalent IC3-8: PC74HC74, CMOS, Philips or equivalent IC4: HD74HC04, CMOS, Hitachi or equivalent IC5, 6, 7: HD4HC00, CMOS, Hitachi or equivalent IC9: BJ-101, CMOS ASIC, HOLTEK Microelectronics IC10: 7044A, 4. 4V voltage detector, Hart Microelectronics IC11: 1033, 3. 3V voltage detector, Haute Microelectronics DI: infrared light diode D2, 3: infrared light emitting diode, diameter 5 mm D4: red LED, 5 mm diameter D5: green LED, diameter 5 mm D6- 15: IN4I4148 switching diode Q1, 3, 4: 2SC945 NPN transistor or equivalent Q2 · 2 S A73 3 PNP transistor or equivalent Q5: 2SB562 PNP transistor or equivalent Q6: 2SD965 NPN transistor or equivalent Product 26 200409847 In a specific embodiment, when an excitation signal is received from two possible signal sources, the motor 56 in FIG. 15 operates: (1) from a motion sensor or infrared sensor or other sensor detector 1 The output of 〇〇 indicates the use of sanitary facilities; or (2) the output of timer 200. The output of any source will be controlled by the “NOR” gate 205, which will cause the motor% excitation signal. In order to maintain the motor 56 in a deactivated state, the control NOR gate 201 must have a logic 0 at each output. The two outputs or logic 0 of the NOR gate 201 results in a logic 1 of the output of the NOR gate 201 and a logic 0 of the output of the inverter 202. Inverter 202 outputs 0, causing transistors Q4 and Q5 to remain in a non-conductive state, resulting in no voltage being applied to motor 56. The logic of the NOR gate 201 bis input terminal causes the resistor-capacitor (RC) timing circuit R1 and the capacitor C1 of C1 to feed the supply voltage value (3. 3 volts). A positive pulse is applied to any input terminal of the NOR gate 201 instantly, causing the capacitor C1 of the RC timing circuit to quickly discharge to zero. Logic 15 at the input of capacitor C1 and inverter 202 causes motor 56 to operate via transistors Q4 and Q5. The operating time of the motor 56 is determined by the charging time of the RC timing circuits R1, C1 after the input terminal of the NOR gate 201 returns 0. The case where a forward pulse is generated by the sensor 100 at the input terminal of the NOR gate 201 is determined by the states of the mode switches S1 and S2. When the mode switches S1 and S2 are in the state shown in Figs. 20 to 15 (sanitary mode), the motor 56 will be activated when the user approaches the sanitary facility and when the user leaves the sanitary facility. When only the switch S1 is turned off (normal mode), the motor 56 operates only once for each use of the sanitary facilities. When only the switch S2 is closed, the motor 56 will be activated only after every other use of the sanitary facilities. 27 200409847 Switches S1 and S2 are in hygienic mode (si and S2 as shown in Figure 15). Because switch S2 is on and the input signal is pulled to a very low value by resistor R10, logic 0 is applied to one of NAND gates 204. Input. A zero of one of the inputs of the NAND gate 204 blocks the passage of any control signal from the sensor 100 through the NAND gate 5 204. Conversely, logic 0 from switch S2 causes logic 1 of NAND gate 205 to pass through inverter 206. Logic 1 on one input of NAND gate 205 allows the control signal from sensor 100 to be sent to control NOR gate 2 (Π) through NAND gates 203, 205, and 208. Sensor 100 is in a deactivated state, and logic 0 is maintained at the interconnection Device 210. Logic 0 (connected to device 10) (after a period of time) also causes logic 0 at the inputs of inverters 209 and 211. Logic 0 at the inputs of inverters 209 and 211 causes logic 1 to enter NAND gate 208 Input terminal, the result logic 0 appears at the input terminal of the control NOR gate 201. When the sensor 100 is actuated due to the user's access to the sanitary facility, the interconnection device 210 rises to logic 1. The interconnection device 210 changes to logic 1, causing a negative pulse to be output from the output of the inverter 211. The negative pulse is transmitted to the control NOR gate 201, causing the motor 56 to operate through the NAND gates 208, 205, and 203. The negative pulse from the inverter 211 continues The time is determined by the resistance and capacitance of the second RC timing circuit R2 and C2. 20 Similarly, when the user of the sanitary facility leaves (causing the deactivation of the sensor 100), the output of the inverter 209 outputs a second negative Pulse. The duration of the second negative pulse is Determined by the resistance and capacitance of the third RC timing circuit R3, C3. When the switches SI and S2 of the automatic flushing handle actuating device 50 are changed to normal mode 28 200409847 (S1 off; S2 on), the first negative direction The pulse-transistor resistor R4 is dissipated into the power supply via the switch 81 (3. 3 volts). The automatic flushing valve actuating device 50 is placed in the normal mode, causing the motor 56 to be used every time the sanitary facility is used (when the user leaves, thereby causing the sensor 100 to become deactivated). It is activated once by the negative pulses of the NAND gates 208, 205, and 203. When the automatic flushing handle actuating device 50 is placed in the water saving mode (S2 off), the motor 56 (the flushing sanitary equipment) is activated only every other time the sanitary facility is used. After every other use, the operation of the motor 56 is achieved by rerouting the operation signals from the paths through the NAND gates 208, 205, and 203 to the paths through the NOR gates 10 207 and NAND gates 204 and 203. Rerouting is achieved by placing logic 1 on one input of NAND gate 204 via switch 52 and placing logic 0 on NAND gate 205 through the use of switch 52 and inverter 206. A logic 0 is applied to one input terminal of the NAND gate 205, and the interruption of the signal flow through the NAND gate 205 is performed. Logic 1 is applied to one input 15 of NAND gate 204, allowing signals from NOR gate 207 to flow through NAND gates 204 and 203. The NOR gate 207 provides a logic 1 output only when the two input signals become logic 0. As explained earlier, the inverter 209 provides a negative pulse each time the inductor changes its deactivated state. On the other hand, the D flip-flop 212 swings between the set state and the reset state each time the sensor 100 is activated. Each time the sensor 100 20 is activated, the flip-flop 212 is in the reset state, and the output signal (logic 1) of the flip-flop 217 (at the NOR gate 207) blocks the negative pulse from the inverter 212. The net result of blocking every other pulse is that whenever the switch S2 is turned off, the motor 56 for the sanitary equipment is activated once every two times (to flush the sanitary equipment). Referring now to the timing circuit 200, the output of the motor 56 is actuated every 4 hours. 29 200409847 Torque is provided by the timing circuit 2000 to control the NO gate 200. The output signal is passed through 7. The 5 kilohertz (kHz) signal is divided equally between 2ι, 25 and 2i5 counters. The 75 kilohertz signal is generated by a 210 counter and a resistor-capacitor network r5, C5. The frequency of the 76 kHz signal is reduced internally by the timer circuit 502 and 2 counters, and it is routed through the NAND gates 215 and 213. After P pass, it is reduced to become a 4 hour inside the timer circuit 2000 and 2020 counters. signal. When the battery is embedded in the power supply unit 104 of the auto-flush handle actuator 50, the D flip-flop 216 is set to 10 into the setting state by the interaction between the capacitor (: 6 and the resistor ruler 6). The D flip-flop 215 In the setting state, the adjustment interval (7.5 minutes) for adjustment is provided to the variable resistor VR1 to control the sensitivity of the sensor 100. During normal operation, the sensor 1 can be adjusted by pressing the calibration button S3. During the calibration, the logic at the Q output of the D flip-flop 216 is blocked from the signal sent from the 15 NAND gate 215 from the 25 counter to the 215 counter. The logic 1 at the Q output of the D flip-flop 216 allows the signal to pass through. The NAND gates 214 and 213 go directly from the 210 counter to the 215 counter. After 7_5 minutes, the output signal of the 215 counter is added to trigger the input to reset the D flip-flop 216. In order to assist the calibration of the sensor 100 during the calibration interval, the second light The polar body 20 (LED) D4 provides a visual indication that the user is within the range of the sensor 100. The negative pulse B caused by the operation of the sensor 100 is used during the calibration interval by the Q output signal of the d flip-flop 216 and passed through the inverter 228 and NAN; D gates 216, 217 and 220 The gate controls the LED D4. After the calibration interval, the second output signal A that provides a visual indication from the sensor 100 is the output signal 30 of the D flip-flop 216 30 200409847 is gated through the NAND gates 219, 217, and 220 Control LEDD4. In a specific embodiment, the operation of the sensor 100 is assisted by two infrared transmitters D2 and D3. The 2.27 Hz signal from the output of the 25 counter of the timer circuit 2000 is in the positive and negative directions of D The inside of the device 221 is divided into half and formed inside R5, C7 of the rc network, and then added to the emitter diodes D2 and D3 through the transistor Q6. When the user approaches the sanitary equipment, the emitter diodes D2 and D3 emit The infrared light is emitted by the user and detected by the sensor 100, and is amplified by the transistors Q1-Q3. The amplified signal then crosses the phase shift register 221_226 and the phase is shifted by 10 shifts 1.15 Hz signal 227. The signal is also applied to the emitter diodes D2 and D3. The output signal from the sensor 100 is amplified and delayed in the phase shift register 221-226, and then applied to the interconnection device 21 through the diodes D6 and D8. With reference to the circuit diagram in Figure 16 will be more Understand the control of the automatic flushing handle actuating device 50 in another specific embodiment. The motor 56 of the module 15 type housing unit 52 described above is operated by any of the following three possible events: (1) by use (2) Actuated by the motion sensor or pressure sensor 100; or (3) The time interval of the interval timer TR2 programmed by the program (Figure 16). The interval timer is available Activate the flushing mechanism 50 during a long period of inactivity (for example, every 2 hours). After each event 20, the normally closed contact CR1 will reset the timer TR2 for another interval and then start again. After the motor 56 is actuated by the signal generating device, let the contact cri cross the signal generating agricultural electrical contact to be closed. 俾 Maintain the power of the motor 56 for a sufficient time to allow the gear 62 of the reduction gear train 58 to rotate through 360 degrees. Period timer 31 200409847 TR1 is programmed to have sufficient rotation time before the motor 56 is deactivated. The gear 62 is rotated 360 degrees, and the cam 60 attached to the gear 62 moves the washing handle 30 from the first position (Fig. 2) to the second position (Fig. 3). When the cam 60 completes a 360-degree rotation, the cycle timer TR1 expires and the motor 56 is deactivated. 5 At this time, the spring 38 inside the washing mechanism 10 returns the washing handle 30 to the first position as described above (Fig. 2). The rotation positioning of the gear 62 and the cam 60 is provided by a sensor activation element Π4 rigidly installed around the gear. When the gear 62 is in the first position, the position sensor 110 is actuated by the sensor actuating element 114. When the gear 62 rotates 10 beyond the first position, the position sensor 110 becomes deactivated until the gear 62 (and the sensor actuating element 114) returns to the first position again. Fig. 17 is a circuit diagram of another specific embodiment of the power supply / circuit module 54. The two contacts (normally open and normally closed) of the position sensor 11 in FIG. 17 are shown in a deactivated state (the sensor actuating element 114 does not activate the position sensor 15). As shown in FIG. Π, when the position sensor 110 moves away from the position 110 by the movement of the sensor actuating element 114, the motor 56 will continue to rotate until the sensor actuating element 114 engages the position sensor 11 again. The events that caused the position sensor 11 to become deactivated include: (1) the actuation of the user's button 106; (2) the actuation of moving the 20 sensor or the pressure sensor 100; or (3) the timeout of the timer TR2 Time. When the position sensor 110 is deactivated due to any of the three events, the gear 62 and the cam 60 make one complete rotation. If the deactivation of the position sensor 11 is caused by the timeout of the timer TR2, the cam_rotation will also reset the timer tr2 via the normally open operation of the contact of the position sensor 1. 32 200409847 It is confirmed that the automatic flushing handle actuating device of the embodiment of the present invention provides an easy-to-install and reliable sanitary equipment flushing device without user intervention. This device can be installed without the assistance of a skilled plumber or external power source. The use of a two-piece coupling element allows the automatic flushing handle actuating device 5 to be attached to the original piping accessory equipment without the need for service intervention or damage to the original piping accessory due to the torque unique to the prior art devices. In addition, the two-piece coupling element allows the flushing handle actuating device of the present invention to be easily removed if necessary and replaced.
