2. Description of Related Arts
The conventional non-electric seat-lifting self-flushing toilet device comprises a water tank which is able to move upward and downward, a toilet seat, a toilet bowl, an arm assembly, a water inlet and a water outlet, wherein the arm assembly has a moveable hinge point; a first end of the arm assembly is connected with the water tank and a second end of the arm assembly is connected with the toilet seat; and the toilet seat is provided on the toilet bowl. When the water tank is empty, a force moment of the water tank to the moveable hinge point is smaller than a force moment of the toilet seat to the moveable hinge point. Through a “switching and imbalance” principle, the water tank and the toilet seat of the toilet are switched at the imbalance state by lifting and lowering the arm assembly. Before injecting water, the force moment of the water tank to the moveable hinge point is smaller than the force moment of the toilet seat to the moveable hinge point. When a man sits on the toilet seat, the toilet seat is parallel with the toilet bowl by an external force and the water starts to be injected into the water tank. After the man leaves the toilet seat, because the force moment of the water tank to the moveable hinge point is larger than the force moment of the toilet seat to the moveable hinge point, the water tank moves downward and a valve of the water outlet is switched on. Thus, the toilet is able to automatically lift the toilet seat without electricity and automatically flush.
