Abstract
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.
Claims19
An electronic toilet odor shielding device comprising:
- a main body comprising a sensing device, a controller, and a pump;
- a container comprising an odor shielding compound;
- wherein the electronic toilet odor shielding device is configured to be placed and attached to a toilet water tank of a toilet;
- wherein the sensing device is configured to sense a toilet water tank flush event and communicate the toilet water tank flush event to the controller;
- wherein the controller is programmed to trigger the pump to draw the odor shielding compound from the container upon receipt of the toilet water tank flush event and subsequently to dispense the odor shielding compound into a toilet bowl of the toilet, after a delay time;
- wherein the sensing device comprises one or more pins that change electrical conductivity based on a medium they are embedded in.
A toilet odor shielding method comprising:
- providing an electronic toilet odor shielding device comprising a main body and a container, wherein the main body comprises a sensing device a controller, and a pump and wherein the container comprises an odor shielding compound;
- placing and attaching the electronic toilet odor shielding device to a toilet water tank of a toilet;
- and
- sensing a toilet water tank flush event via the sensing device and communicating the toilet water tank flush event to the controller;
- wherein the controller is programmed to trigger the pump to draw the odor shielding compound from the container upon receipt of the toilet water tank flush event and subsequently to dispense the odor shielding compound into a toilet bowl of the toilet, after a delay time;
- wherein the sensing device comprises one or more pins that change electrical conductivity based on a medium they are embedded in.
