The second power unit is used to control the automatic lifting and closing of the cushion ring. It does not require users to touch with hands, achieves the convenience of safety and hygiene, and meets the requirements of intelligent living.

Description

BACKGROUND

When the toilet is not in use, the correct way is to close the toilet covers to avoid drifting the odor and open it when used. Most of the existing toilet structures must be opened with their hands when they are using it, which is not convenient, and there will be doubts of staining hands. In the case of being urinating, men need to manually lift the toilet lid and cushion ring. It will increase the possibility of dirty or contact with bacteria. It is known an improved automatic lift toilet structure. It uses infrared or radar waves. When a user approaches, it can automatically lift the toilet lid. This uses infrared induction or the design of radar waves as a difference in body temperature or light, and both will cause errors because of often changes in abnormal light changes or angle differences. It may also be due to the nature of users' clothing materials, such as reflex phenomena, which causes instability of induction.

In U.S. Ser. No. 17/693,816, the same inventor has invented an image recognition automatic flip-top smart toilet. However, the design of this structure is the overall combination of the toilet. For those who want to use, it must be replaced by the entire toilet. And its image recognition chip is directly located on the toilet. Hence the installation location is limited, which may affect the recognition effect.

SUMMARY

The present invention relates to an independent toilet seat assembly with image recognizers for automatic lifts, which Includes a seat assembly having a cushion ring and one upper lid extended therefrom and at least one image recognizer. The seat assembly can be combined on a toilet pot, and it has provided with one controller and two-powered units inside. The image recognizer can be located on the side of the seat assembly, which is electrical connected to the controller, or installed on the wall at the back of the toilet at an appropriate position, which is electrically connected to the controller by wireless means, such as a bluetooth, etc. The controller is connected to two power units, wherein the first power unit is used to control the automatic lifting and closing of the cover lid. The second power unit is used to control the automatic lifting and closing of the cushion ring. When the image recognizer detects that the user in front of the toilet is a non-frontal image, it will send a signal to the controller, so that the controller activates the first power unit to lift the upper lid, allowing the user to sit on the cushion ring for use. When the image recognizer detects that the user in front of the toilet is a frontal image, it will send another signal to the controller, so that the controller activates the two power units at the same time to lift the cover lid and the cushion ring together, providing male standing use. It does not require users to touch with hands, achieves the convenience of safety and hygiene, and meets the requirements of intelligent living.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION AND PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Please refer to FIGS. 1 and 2, the present invention relates to an independent toilet seat assembly with image recognizers for automatic lifts, which Includes a seat assembly 1 having a cushion ring 3 and one cover lid 4 extended therefrom and at least one image recognizer 2. The seat assembly 1 can be combined on a toilet pot 5, and it has provided with one controller 11 and two-powered units 12, 13 inside. The image recognizer 2 can be located on the side of the seat assembly 1, which is electrical connected to the controller 11, or installed on the wall at the back of the toilet at an appropriate position, which is electrically connected to the controller by wireless means, such as a bluetooth, etc. The controller 11 is connected to two power units 12, 13, wherein the first power unit 12 is used to control the automatic lifting and closing of the cover lid 4. The second power unit 13 is used to control the automatic lifting and closing of the cushion ring 3.

When the image recognizer 2 detects that the user in front of the toilet is a non-frontal image, it will send a signal to the controller 11, so that the controller 11 activates the first power unit 12 to lift the cover lid 4 only, allowing the user to sit on the cushion ring 3 for use. When the image recognizer 2 detects that the user in front of the toilet is a frontal image, it will send another signal to the controller 11, so that the controller 11 activates the two power units 12, 13 at the same time to lift the cover lid 4 and the cushion ring 3 together, providing male standing use. Therefore, no matter how the user wants to use it, he does not need to operate the toilet cover lid 4 or the cushion ring 3 by hand, which is not only very convenient, but also avoids the bad result of contact with dirt or bacteria. When it is detected that the user leaves, it will send out a signal to make the cover lid 4 and the cushion ring 3 close and return to the original state, which is highly practical and progressive.

The image recognizer 2 mainly uses face recognition technology, which adopts edge computing mode, determines whether the captured image contains a human face, and transmits the corresponding signal to the controller to link different power units to perform specific actions. There is no need to connect to the cloud network, which is quite power saving. It can achieve a very accurate identification effect to control the corresponding automatic flip of the toilet and obtain intelligent effects. In addition, because this invention uses face recognition, there is no need to compare the memory storage database, and no images will be stored during use, which can avoid privacy issues.

Furthermore, the independent toilet seat assembly of the present invention can be applied to various toilets, and users do not need to replace the entire toilet bowl, which improves practicality and economy. The image recognizer is set to be detachable, and the wireless transmission connection method can improve the recognition effect. Hence, this invention obviously has progressive practical effects and meets the requirements for allowance a patent.
