There are provided a flush water tank apparatus capable of accurately setting the amount of flush water to be discharged while opening a discharge valve by a discharge valve hydraulic drive unit. A flush water tank apparatus includes a valve controller, where, in a case where a first amount of flush water is selected, the valve controller causes the timing control mechanism to be engaged with the discharge valve and causes the timing control mechanism to operate such that engagement is released after a lapse of a first period of time, and in a case where a second amount of flush water is selected, the valve controller causes the timing control mechanism to be engaged with the discharge valve and causes the timing control mechanism to operate such that engagement is released after lapse of a second period of time shorter than the first period of time.

The present invention is a flush water tank apparatus (4) and includes: a storage tank (10) on which a drain port (10a) is formed, a discharge valve (12) opening/closing the drain port; a discharge valve hydraulic drive unit (14) driving the discharge valve using water supply pressure; a clutch mechanism (30) coupling the discharge valve and the discharge valve hydraulic drive unit to pull up the discharge valve; flush water amount selection device capable of selecting between a first and a second amount of flush water; a timing control mechanism controlling a timing of the drain port being blocked; and a control jet unit (20) jetting, when the second amount is selected, flush water to a water receiving surface provided on the timing control mechanism so that a timing of the drain port being blocked is earlier than a case of the first amount of flush water.

A flush water tank apparatus enabling accurately setting an amount of flush water to be discharged while opening a discharge valve via a discharge valve hydraulic drive unit and a flush toilet apparatus including the flush water tank are provided. A flush water tank apparatus includes a first float device; a second float device that prevents from descent of the discharge valve according to the water level so as to discharge a second amount of flush water; and an adjustment mechanism configured so that when the second amount of flush water is selected by the flush water amount selection portion the clutch mechanism is disconnected at a pull-up height of the discharge valve such that the discharge valve descended by the disconnection of the clutch mechanism is held by the second float device in a holding state.

The present disclosure relates to a semi-automatic toilet bowl system that automatically closes a toilet cover and performs flush by sensing that a user finishes relieving nature after manually opening the toilet cover to relieve nature. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a semi-automatic toilet bowl system that can prevent excreta and toilet water from flying outside, can semi-automatically open a cover only when the toilet is used, and can prevent power consumption for opening the toilet by automatically rotating and closing the toilet cover and automatically performing flush when a user who feels nature's call manually open the toilet cover and then finishes relieving his/her nature.

The sanitary appliance (400) comprises a receptacle (410) and a tube (420) provided with a tube wall (401, 402) and configured to contain—in use—an aqueous solution (1000) and a sensor circuit (105) for sensing inflow of matter into the sanitary appliance (400), wherein the sensor circuit (105) comprises a primary circuit and a secondary circuit that are mutually inductively coupled, wherein the inductively coupled secondary circuit includes a capacitive sensor comprising a first and a second electrode (101, 102), each of which are configured to be in use at least partially (101, 192) in contact with the aqueous solution (1000), which constitutes a medium of the capacitive sensor.

An automated urinal comprising a basin configured to receive a fluid; a wall; a trapway in fluid communication with the basin; a flush valve; and an automatic flush system; wherein, the automatic flush system comprises one or more sensors and a controller; the one or more sensors are selected from a group consisting of a first sensor coupled to an exterior of the trapway, a second sensor coupled to a rear surface of the wall, and a third sensor coupled to an underside of the basin; the controller is in electrical communication with the one or more sensors and is in electrical communication with the flush valve; and wherein the automatic flush system is configured to detect introduction of fluid into the basin and to send a flush signal to the flush valve to initiate a flush.

Systems, methods, and devices relating to urinal, in some examples having a movable portion able to pivot from a generally closed to a generally open position. The urinal may have a drain line engaged with a proximal end of the funnel for conveying urine and rinse water into a sewer line or a toilet bowl and a rinse line coupled with a water supply for rinsing urine therein. The urinal may be movable with the assistance of one or more sensors that may automatically signal other electrical or mechanical components to move one or more portions of the urinal, and may be include elements that seal portions of the urinal when not in use or during cleaning to reduce gas or liquid escaping from the urinal system.

A flush valve assembly for an automatic sanitaryware assembly, comprising a flush valve; a status sensor; a presence sensor associated with a presence sensor lens; an antenna associated with an antenna lens; a manual override actuator; and a controller. A status sensor may comprise an ultrasonic sensor or a capacitive sensor and is configured to be affixed to a sanitaryware assembly. The status sensor is configured to communicate with the controller, the controller is configured to determine a sanitaryware status, and the antenna is configured to transmit the sanitaryware status to a network gateway.

An automated urinal comprising a basin configured to receive a fluid; a wall; a trapway in fluid communication with the basin; a flush valve; and an automatic flush system; wherein, the automatic flush system comprises one or more sensors and a controller; the one or more sensors are selected from a group consisting of a first sensor coupled to an exterior of the trapway, a second sensor coupled to a rear surface of the wall, and a third sensor coupled to an underside of the basin; the controller is in electrical communication with the one or more sensors and is in electrical communication with the flush valve; and wherein the automatic flush system is configured to detect introduction of fluid into the basin and to send a flush signal to the flush valve to initiate a flush.

The present invention relates to a toilet flushing initiating, monitoring and management system initiated by the unlocking of a locking member on a door mounted in a stall typically found in a bathroom such as a public bathroom.
