Abstract

The present invention discloses an automatic toilet cleaning device. A toilet seat is provided above a bowl and includes a toilet lid and a seat plate. By a means of infrared induction, the toilet lid can be opened automatically when a user is approaching and can be closed automatically after using the toilet. Furthermore, a seat plate cleaning unit provided on the toilet lid can be used to automatically clean the seat plate and an inner rim of the toilet. Therefore, in addition to preventing the user from manually touching the toilet, the present invention can also keep the seat plate and the toilet at the cleanest state at any time.
