BACKGROUND

With the continuous evolution of technology, traditional toilets are equipped with more intelligent functions, including the detection of toilet seat temperature, intelligent flushing, and other functions. However, the treatment of excrement is generally carried out by directly flushing into the sewage system. Sometimes, when the excrement is difficult to clean, a large amount of clean water is required. This is not environmentally friendly. Some toilets are designed to process excrement by manual packaging which is likely to leak excrement during the manual packaging process. Alternatively, the excrement is packaged in heated plastic bags when pressing the button on the smart toilet. Then, the toilet seat is manually lifted, and the easy-tear line of the plastic bag is manually torn off. The plastic bag is then removed. It cannot be integrated with modern intelligent communication equipment to achieve smart packaging of excrement. This exposes the technical problems such as lack of human-machine intelligence and cumbersome excrement treatment procedures. At the same time, the toilet lacks an integrated design that can easily be assembled and disassembled, making it impossible to conveniently clean the excrement that may exist inside the toilet.
