Abstract

A power supply system for a toilet includes a controller power supply circuit, including an input end electrically connected to an external power supply and an output end. The system includes an assembly driving power supply circuit, including an input end electrically connected to the external power supply and an output end. The power supply system also includes a controller circuit, including a power supply end electrically connected to the output end of the controller power supply circuit and an output end communicably connected to a control end of a switch control circuit of the assembly driving power supply circuit. The system also includes a driving component circuit, including a power supply end electrically connected to the output end of the assembly driving power supply circuit. An output power of the controller power supply circuit is lower than an output power of the assembly driving power supply circuit.

Claims (11)

1. A mirror cabinet comprising:

a door comprising a mirror frame configured to support a mirror substrate that provides a reflection of one or more users in proximity of the mirror cabinet;

a sensor cavity coupled to the mirror frame and configured to support a temperature sensor for detecting a temperature of the one or more users in proximity to the mirror cabinet, wherein the sensor cavity is a chassis internal to the mirror frame and the temperature sensor is housed in the chassis; and

a retractable cover configured to cover an aperture to selectively block the temperature sensor; and

a controller configured to analyze data received from the temperature sensor.

2. The mirror cabinet of claim 1 , further comprising:

a communication bus to transfer data between the controller and a computer network.

3. The mirror cabinet of claim 1 , further comprising:

a cam surface of the mirror frame to actuate a plunger as the door of the mirror cabinet is opened or closed.

4. The mirror cabinet of claim 1 , further comprising:

a pivotable support mounted on the door of the mirror frame, the pivotable support coupled to the chassis of the sensor cavity.
