Volume controllable toilet flush systems and methods of use
10604922 · 2020-03-31 ·

A volume controllable toilet flush system, comprising: a cistern configured to hold and retain a fluid; a vertically moveable siphon assembly comprising a siphon portion, a pipe and at least one resilient element attached to the pipe; a toilet bowl shaped to retain and hold waste; an actuator operatively connected to the pipe by a stud attached to the pipe and configured to provide vertical movement to the siphon assembly, wherein movement of the siphon assembly by the actuator stores or releases energy in the at least one resilient element and, wherein downward vertical movement of the siphon assembly puts the toilet bowl in fluid communication with the cistern by creating a siphoning action between the siphon portion and the fluid in the cistern and wherein subsequent upward vertical movement of the siphon assembly terminates the siphoning action to stop fluid flow from the cistern to the toilet bowl.

Connected sanitaryware systems and methods

A sanitaryware system may include sensors to determine a status or condition of one or more sanitaryware fixtures in the sanitaryware system and perform a particular function, such as, for example performing a flush, closing the flush valve and/or angle stop, sending an alert, initiating a service ticket. The sanitaryware system may automatically perform the function. The sanitaryware system may communicate the status or condition to an internet connected device and/or user, the device may perform the function or may instruct the sanitaryware to perform the function. The sensed information, sanitaryware system status or condition, and/or initiated response may be logged and monitored to improve the overall efficiency and operation of the sanitaryware system and the sanitaryware fixtures within the system.

Fluid control system and method
11939206 · 2024-03-26 · ·

Some embodiments include a fluid control system with an outlet valve assembly, an inlet valve assembly including a venturi inlet valve, and an actuator coupled to the inlet valve assembly. In some embodiments, the actuator can enable a user to control a flush volume of fluid control system. Some embodiments include a moveable float positioned in a chamber of the outlet valve assembly, where the chamber includes a variably-sized upper portion with a volume that is based at least in part on a variable position of the moveable float in the chamber. Some embodiments include a adjustable control valves coupled to an outer surface of the outlet valve assembly and the inlet valve assembly. Some embodiments also include a bellows positioned in and coupled to the variably-sized upper portion. In some embodiments, the bellows are fluidly coupled to the venturi inlet valve and at least one of the control valves.
