Abstract

The application discloses a power supply system for an smart toilet, which comprises: a controller power supply circuit, an assembly driving power supply circuit, a controller circuit and a driving component circuit, an input end of the controller power supply circuit is electrically connected with an external power supply, an input end of the assembly driving power supply circuit is electrically connected with the external power supply, an output end of the assembly driving power supply circuit is electrically connected with a power supply end of the driving component circuit, an output end of the controller power supply circuit is electrically connected with a power supply end of the controller circuit, an output end of the controller circuit is in communication connection with a control end of a switch control circuit of the assembly driving power supply circuit, and an output power of the controller power supply circuit is lower than that of the assembly driving power supply circuit. According to the application, when the smart toilet is not in use or is in a standby state, the output of the assembly driving power supply circuit is turned off, and only a controller power supply is retained to supply power, thus achieving an effect of energy consumption reduction and prolonging a service life of an assembly driving power supply.

Claims (23)
