AUTOMATIC TOILET SEAT DEVICE

摘要

This invention is directed to an automatic toilet seat device which will cause a toilet seat (214) to be either raised or lowered at the push of a single button (232) and further, will automatically lower the toilet seat (214) after the flush action of the toilet (210). A first switch (232) associated with the device will, when activated, cause the toilet seat (214) to be raised by an electric motor (230). Once the toilet user has flushed the toilet (210), a float switch (240) associated with a tank (218) of the toilet (210) will cause the motor (230) to lower the toilet seat (214). The control circuit (400) controlling the automatic toilet seat device is microprocessor (410) controlled and includes an over-current detection circuit. The over-current detection circuit will detect over-current in the motor (230) when the seat (214) is completely raised or lowered such that the microprocessor (410) will stop the motor (230) from turning.
