Abstract
A toilet at least includes a container, a cover, and an inflator. The container includes a top opening and a bottom drain. The cover connects the container with a pivot for selectively shielding or exposing the top opening. When the cover shields the opening, the inflator supplies air into the container and makes the air pressure inside the container higher than the outside. And therefore, air flows and takes away wastes through the drain to the outside of the toilet due to the pressure differential.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A toilet, comprising:
a container, comprising a top opening and a bottom drain; a cover, pivotally connected with the container for selectively shielding or exposing the top opening; and an inflator, supplying air into the container for increasing air pressure inside the container higher than the outside of the container when the cover shields the top opening, thereby ridding the container of wastes through the drain.
2 . The toilet of claim 1 , wherein the inflator is an air pump.
3 . The toilet of claim 2 , further comprising a sensor switch electrically connecting to the air pump and comprising:
a first sensor, detecting if the top opening is shielded by the cover; and a switch, turning the air pump on or off selectively, wherein the first sensor detects the top opening shielded by the cover, the switch turns on the air pump respectively.
4 . The toilet of claim 1 , wherein the cover comprises rubber.
5 . The toilet of claim 1 , further comprising a lock for locking the cover tightly on the container.
6 . The toilet of claim 5 , wherein the lock comprises:
a first lock element, located on the cover; and a second lock element, located on the container, wherein the first lock element grips the second lock element when the cover shields the top opening.
7 . The toilet of claim 1 , wherein a surface of the container comprises Teflon, porcelain glaze, or nano-scale graze.
8 . The toilet of claim 1 , further comprising a cleaning device, connecting to the cover, the cleaning device comprising:
a tank, for storing liquid; an inlet nozzle, located on the tank for filling liquid into the tank through the inlet nozzle; at least a spout, linking the tank and the container for sending out liquid from the tank to the container; and a water valve, controlling the flow of liquid out of the spout.
9 . The toilet of claim 8 , wherein the cleaning device further comprises a second sensor electrically connecting to the water valve, wherein the second sensor switches the water valve on when the second sensor is driven, and thus makes liquid flow out of the spout.
10 . A toilet seat for installing on a toilet, comprising:
a cover, selectively shielding or exposing a top opening of the toilet; and an inflator, connecting to the cover and supplying air into the toilet for increasing air pressure inside the toilet higher than the outside of the toilet when the cover shields the top opening, thereby ridding the toilet of wastes through the drain.
11 . The toilet seat of claim 10 , wherein the inflator is an air pump.
12 . The toilet of claim 11 , further comprising a sensor switch electrically connecting the air pump and comprising:
a first sensor, detecting if the top opening is shielded by the cover; and a switch, turning the air pump on or off selectively, wherein the first sensor detects the top opening shielded by the cover, the switch turns on the air pump respectively.
13 . The toilet seat of claim 10 ,further comprising a seat pivotally connected with the cover, interposing between the cover and the top opening, and for selectively placing on an edge of the top opening or exposing the edge.
14 . The toilet seat of claim 13 , further comprising a lock for locking the cover tightly on the toilet.
15 . The toilet seat of claim 10 , further comprising a gas valve fitting in a water outlet in the toilet for preventing air escaping into a water tank on the toilet through the water outlet.
16 . The toilet of claim 10 , further comprising a cleaning device connecting to the cover, the cleaning device comprising:
a tank, for storing liquid; a inlet nozzle, located on the tank for filling liquid in the tank through the inlet nozzle; at least a spout, linking the tank and the toilet for sending out liquid from the tank to the toilet; and a water valve, controlling the flow of liquid out of the spout; and a second sensor, electrically connecting the water valve, wherein the second sensor switches the water valve on when the second sensor is driven, and thus makes liquid flow out of the spout.
17 . A cleaning method for toilet, comprising:
Closing a top opening of a toilet; and Increasing the air pressure inside the toilet higher than the outside after closing the top opening, thereby ridding the toilet of wastes through a drain of the toilet.
18 . A cleaning method of claim 17 , wherein the step of closing the top opening comprising:
shielding the top opening with a cover.
19 . A cleaning method of claim 17 , wherein the step of increasing the air pressure inside the toilet is supplying air into the toilet.
20 . A cleaning method of claim 17 , further comprising spraying liquid on a surface of the toilet.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
