Each installing groove is fixedly connected with a respective piezoelectric plate. A lower wall of each flexible plate is fixedly connected with a respective pressing block. Each pressing block contacts a corresponding piezoelectric plate. Water sucking cavities are disposed inside the toilet body. Each water sucking cavity is fixedly connected with a metal plate. Each water sucking cavity is elastically connected with a respective electromagnetic plate through a respective return spring. Each electromagnetic plate is slidably connected with each water sucking cavity.

A dosing system and method for dispensing a chemical composition into a tank of a toilet. The system includes a sensor obtaining a parameter representative of an environment of the toilet. The dosing system further includes a non-transitory control unit receiving the parameter and generating an activation signal for triggering dispensing of an amount of the chemical composition into the tank based on the parameter. The system further includes a dosing device inserted inside the tank. The dosing device has a cavity containing the chemical composition and a dispensing mechanism coupled with the cavity. The dispensing mechanism receives the activation signal and dispenses the amount of chemical composition into the tank upon reception of the at least one activation signal.

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.

An electro-chlorinating device includes a housing and a pair of electrodes. The housing comprises a reservoir; an inlet port fluidly coupled to the reservoir; and a discharge device fluidly coupled to the reservoir. The discharge device is configured to be fluidly coupled to a plumbing product. The discharge device is configured to release a fluid from the reservoir into the plumbing product in response to a movement of water through the plumbing product. The pair of electrodes is coupled to the housing such that at least a portion of each electrode of the pair of electrodes is disposed within the reservoir.

A toilet bowl water sterilization device and a method therefor, which may electrolyze toilet bowl water stored in a toilet bowl water tank or a pipe, convert the toilet bowl water into electrolyzed water suitable for sterilization and cleaning through the electrolyzing, and sterilize various bacteria which live in a toilet bowl as well as the toilet bowl water tank or the pipe without using a toilet bowl cleaning agent, such as a chemical substance or a surfactant.

The invention relates to a processing apparatus for packaging machines having at least one upper processing unit for processing upper package sides and at least one lower processing unit for processing lower package sides, and having a common adjustment axle for the processing units along which the processing units are adjustable manually or by means of a drive in an adjustment direction that extends in parallel with a direction of transport of the packaging machine.

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 tank, a flush valve, and a rim in fluid communication with the bowl through a rim flow path from an outlet of the flush valve to at least one rim outlet port. The flush valve is configured to operate in a flush actuation mode wherein the flush valve is able to provide flush water flow sufficient for the toilet assembly to initiate a flush siphon or provide a wash down flush and to operate in a cleaning actuation mode wherein the flush valve is only partially opened to allow for introduction of a cleaning agent and flush water mixture to the bowl that is insufficient to initiate a siphon but sufficient for cleaning the bowl. The cleaning system includes a reservoir for a liquid cleaning agent, a housing for the reservoir, a supply conduit for receiving fluid from within the reservoir and delivering it to a flush valve, a flow control device capable of controlling flow of cleaning agent and a control system activatable by an actuator feature to initiate a clean cycle by operating the flow control device to deliver a dose of cleaning agent to one or more rim outlets, and operating the flush valve in cleaning actuation mode to introduce flush water to carry the dose of cleaning agent through the at least one rim outlet port into the toilet bowl at a flow rate insufficient to initiate a siphon but sufficient for cleaning the bowl.

An electronic toilet odor shielding device includes a main body and a container. The main body includes a sensing device and a pump. The container includes an odor shielding compound. The electronic toilet odor shielding device is placed and attached within a toilet water tank of a toilet. The sensing device is configured to sense a toilet water tank flush event and to trigger the pump to draw the odor shielding compound from the container and subsequently to dispense the odor shielding compound into a toilet bowl of the toilet. The odor shielding compound that is dispensed into the toilet bowl forms an odor shielding film on top of a water surface within the toilet bowl.
