  • Publication number: 20230167919
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method for controlling opening and closing of at least one water outlet of an electromagnetic distributor, the method comprising: detecting, by at least one sensor, a current position, relative to the at least one water outlet, of at least one solenoid valve core; determining, by a controller, a current state of the at least water outlet according to the detected current position of the at least one solenoid valve core; generating, by an electromagnetic coil, a magnetic field force on the at least one solenoid valve core; adjusting, by the controller, a direction and an amount of the magnetic field force on the at least one solenoid valve core according to the determined current state of the at least one water outlet; and controlling, by the controller, a movement, relative to the at least one water outlet, of the at least one solenoid valve core.

  • Patent number: 11598443
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses an electromagnetic distributor and a toilet. The electromagnetic distributor comprises: a housing including a water inlet and at least two water outlets in communication with the water inlet; at least two solenoid valve cores, wherein the at least two solenoid valve cores correspond to the at least two water outlets; magnetic conducting part including at least two magnetic conducting chambers, wherein an electromagnetic loop is formed in each of the magnetic conducting chambers; wherein the at least two solenoid valve cores are respectively disposed in the at least two magnetic conducting chambers, and wherein each of the solenoid valve cores is configured to move away from or close to the corresponding water outlet under magnetic field generated by the corresponding electromagnetic loop, so as to independently control opening and closing of the corresponding water outlet. The toilet comprises the electromagnetic distributor according to any of the above.

  • Patent number: 10941554
    Abstract: A nozzle assembly including a body having a top surface; a plurality of water inlets formed on the body and comprising first and second water inlets; a plurality of water outlets formed on the body and comprising first and second water outlets; and a solenoid valve. The first water inlet is in fluid communication with the first water outlet via a first water path, and the second water inlet is in fluid communication with the second water outlet via a second water path. The first water outlet and the second water outlet are concentrically arranged on the top surface, and the first water outlet and the second water outlet are configured to spray water in different patterns. The solenoid valve is configured to control an on and an off of a flow of water through each of the first water path and the second water path.
