A chemical dispensing system for a toilet that includes a container configured to contain a chemical compound that mixes with water to form a cleaning compound; a bracket coupled to the container; a threaded protrusion that extends from the bracket and is configured to extend through a hole in an inside of the sidewall of the toilet; and a fastener having a threaded body and a head, which is larger radially than the threaded body such that the head is configured to contact an outside of the sidewall in a secured position in which the threaded body threads to the threaded protrusion.

A toilet that includes a tank configured to hold water from a water supply; a reservoir fluidly connected to the tank and configured to hold a cleaning compound comprising a chemical compound and water from the water supply; and an actuator configured to control a flush cycle of the toilet upon a first activation, the actuator including at least one nozzle fluidly connected to the reservoir and configured to discharge an amount of the cleaning compound external to the tank upon at least one of the first activation or a second activation.

A cleaning system for a sanitary fixture (e.g., toilet) can include a cleanser assembly, housing a compartment formed in the deck of the fixture in fluid communication with a waterway leading to the bowl. The cleanser assembly can receive a cartridge containing a cleaning product for insertion into the compartment and introduction into the waterway. The assembly can support the seat and cover of the fixture, and can have a low profile and curved shape that complements the corresponding shape of the seat and cover, and provides a balanced look that makes the assembly appear to be an integral part of the sanitary fixture.

A toilet that includes a water tank having a vent hole; a bowl; and a system having a valve body connecting the tank and a fluid channel; a housing moveable relative to the valve body during a flush cycle to pass water from the tank into the bowl through the fluid channel, the housing having a bore that connects with the fluid channel; a fan in the bore that operates in first and second modes; a motor in the bore for rotating the fan in each mode; and a vent having an inlet fluidly connected with the bore and an outlet fluidly connected with the vent hole. In the first mode, the fan moves air from the bowl to the vent hole through the bore and vent; and in the second mode, the fan moves air from outside the tank to the bowl through the vent hole and bore.

A method for controlling water spouting of a toilet includes: a target region where a foreign object exists is determined from multiple predetermined regions in the toilet; a target water spout corresponding to the target region is determined according to pre-stored correspondences between the multiple regions in the toilet and water spouts for flushing the multiple regions; and the target water spout is controlled to spout water.

A toilet that includes a bowl; a tank having a sidewall and a bottom defining a reservoir; a container located inside the reservoir and configured to contain a chemical compound that mixes with water to form a cleaning compound; a connector for coupling the container to the sidewall; and a flush valve. The connector has a bracket coupled to the container, a threaded protrusion that extends from the bracket into a hole in the sidewall of the tank, and a threaded fastener having a threaded body and a head, which is larger radially than the threaded body such that the head contacts an outside of the sidewall in a secured position in which the threaded body threads to the threaded protrusion. The flush valve is fluidly connected to the container to introduce the cleaning compound into the bowl through an outlet in the bottom during a cleaning cycle.

A toilet that includes a tank configured to hold water from a water supply; a reservoir fluidly connected to the tank and configured to hold a cleaning compound comprising a chemical compound and water from the water supply; and an actuator configured to control a flush cycle of the toilet upon a first activation, the actuator including at least one nozzle fluidly connected to the reservoir and configured to discharge an amount of the cleaning compound external to the tank upon at least one of the first activation or a second activation.

Toilet assemblies having various embodiments of a cleaning system are described herein which include a toilet assembly and a cleaning system. The toilet assembly has a toilet bowl, a toilet tank, a flush valve, a rim inlet port and a rim flow path (which may be an isolated rim path) extending from an outlet of the flush valve to the rim inlet port. The cleaning system has a reservoir for holding a liquid cleaning agent having an outlet port in fluid communication with the interior space of the reservoir body; a housing to receive the reservoir; a supply conduit in fluid communication with the interior of the reservoir; a flow control device capable of controlling flow through the supply conduit; and a control system activatable by an actuator feature, wherein upon activation of the actuator feature, the control system is adapted to initiate a clean cycle by: operating the flow control device for a first period of time sufficient to deliver a dose of a liquid cleaning agent from the supply conduit to an interior space of the flush valve in a closed position, the flush valve configured for delivery of fluid to the rim inlet port, and operating the flush valve to open the flush valve to introduce flush water to carry the dose of a liquid cleaning agent through the rim inlet port into the toilet bowl.

There are provided methods, systems and devices for cleaning a toilet comprising: a storage and control unit, comprising: a container configured to store one or more cleaning materials of a first type for cleaning or sanitizing the toilet; pumps means for delivering via pipes means the one or more cleaning materials of a first type; and power sources means; a treatment unit, said treatment unit comprising: a housing having a cavity configured and enabled to collect and store flushing tank fluids of the toilet flowing via one or more openings in said housing; or more cleaning materials of second type; a spraying unit, comprising one or more spraying devices, configured and enabled to spray said flushing tank fluids mixed with the cleaning materials of a second type via the one or more spraying devices into to the interior of a toilet bowl; and a rotatable spraying unit configured to: receive cleaning materials of a first type from said one or more pipes and spray said cleaning materials of a first type at said toilet bowl cavity; and a bridge configured and enabled to be hanged on said toilet bowl rim and hold said treatment unit away and below the toilet bowl rim at the path of the toilet flushing water.

A self-cleaning toilet comprising a refillable container for storing liquid toilet cleanser in liquid communication with a toilet water tank. The toilet water tank receives water from a water supply system and toilet cleanser from the refillable container and has a float valve controlling water inflow and toilet cleanser inflow so that, the liquid level in the water tank being lower than a predetermined level, water and toilet cleanser flow into the water tank, mixing with the liquid in the water tank and, the liquid level being above a predetermined level, inflow of water and toilet cleanser is stopped. A dose regulator provides a predetermined flow rate of toilet cleanser. The incoming water having a predetermined water flow rate and the incoming toilet cleanser having a predetermined flow rate, a predetermined ratio of toilet cleanser to water is maintained in the water tank.
