Abstract text

Provided are an automatic flushing apparatus of a bidet and a method of controlling the same. The automatic flushing apparatus includes: a flushing switch; a flushing drive motor driven under control of a controller; a flushing switch; a flushing drive motor driven under control of a controller; a rotating body connected to a shaft of the drive motor and having a magnet buried in its outer periphery; a hole sensor formed adjacent to an outer periphery of the rotating body to detect the magnet; a timer for counting seconds in real time; and a controller for driving the drive motor to set to an initial position such that the magnet is detected by the hole sensor when the flushing switch is input, and varying an operation time of the drive motor depending on urine or feces to perform the flushing operation. Therefore, it is possible to reduce water consumption, prevent leakage of water due to malfunction of a drive motor, and improve reliability of an automatic flushing operation by differently performing the flushing operation depending on urine or feces.
