    摘要: A device can include one or more inputs, which, in operation, receive one or more signals indicative of toilet-lid positions and one or more signals indicative of user-toilet proximity; and control circuitry coupled to the one or more inputs. The control circuitry can, in operation, determine a position of a toilet lid based on the one or more signals indicative of toilet-lid positions; respond to a determination that the toilet lid is in a closed position by entering a power-save mode of operation; and respond to a determination that the toilet lid is not in a closed position by selectively generating, based on the one or more signals indicative of user-toilet proximity, toilet-lid-actuator control signals to cause a toilet-lid-actuator to move the toilet lid toward a closed position. Related methods and systems are also provided.

    摘要: A novel toilet seat device is disclosed which comprises a standard toilet seat component with extendable wing-like handle components on each side. The handle components can be adjusted to a desired width and then locked in place to offer a secure object to hold onto while accommodating a user's backside. The device is especially useful for those who are overweight or who have balance issues. Accordingly, the device is beneficial to obese and elderly people who struggle when standing up or sitting down on a toilet.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a control method of an intelligent toilet cover based on a single infrared sensor which includes the following steps: sensing a human body approaching the intelligent toilet cover by an infrared sensor, and transmitting an approaching signal to a first control module to control a second opening/closing mechanism to open the toilet cover, wherein the infrared sensor has a first sensing distance; controlling a sensing distance of the infrared sensor to shorten the sensing distance from the first sensing distance to a second sensing distance; and sensing a gesture signal by the infrared sensor, and transmitting the gesture signal to the first control module to control a first opening/closing mechanism to open a seat or perform flushing.

    摘要: A self-lifting toilet seat system includes a toilet seat configured to be sat upon by a user. The system has a hinge configured to rotatably couple the toilet seat and a toilet bowl. The hinge is configured so that the toilet seat is transitionable from an up position to a down position. A lifting system is configured to raise the toilet seat towards the up position. A sealed hinge housing has at least a portion of a delay system therein. The delay system is configured to cause a time delay before the lifting system causes the toilet seat to self-lift towards the up position. The delay system is configured so that the time delay begins after removal of a threshold downward force on the toilet seat.

    摘要: A toilet includes a base, a seat rotatably coupled to the base, a first counterweight fixedly coupled to the seat, wherein the first counterweight causes a center of mass of the seat to be spaced from a geometric center of the seat, a cover rotatably coupled to the seat, and a second counterweight fixedly coupled to the cover. The second counterweight causes a center of mass of the cover to be spaced from a geometric center of the cover.

    摘要: A toilet seat elevator assembly including a seat assembly. The seat assembly includes a seat that is placed on top of a toilet seat. The seat assembly is capable of being adjusted in height by adding a preferred amount of seat inserts between the toilet seat and the seat. The seat inserts have a toilet seat shape. The toilet seat elevator assembly further includes backup assembly, wherein is perpendicularly attached to an edge of the seat. The backup assembly is hollow, wherein the backup assembly can be clamped to the seat cover when it is in a vertical position allowing to secure the toilet seat elevator assembly to the toilet.

    摘要: A self-lowering toilet seat system includes a toilet bowl and a toilet seat. The system includes a hinge rotatably coupling the toilet seat and the toilet bowl. The hinge is configured so that the toilet seat is transitionable between a down position and an up position. A lowering device is configured to self-lower the toilet seat towards the down position. A fixedly sealed hinge housing has a delay device therein. The delay device is configured to cause a seat time delay before the lowering device causes the toilet seat to lower towards the down position. The delay device is engaged by applying a seat lifting force to raise the toilet seat towards the up position and removing the seat lifting force from the toilet seat. The delay device is configured to reset the seat time delay when the lifting force is reapplied before the delay device has expired.
