Switch detection assembly and faucet having the same
The present invention relates to a switch detection assembly and a faucet having the same. The switch detection assembly is used to perform switch detection on a movement stroke of a linear continuous shape object, and includes a sleeve sliding pair, the sleeve sliding pair has a movement stroke in a first direction and a movement stroke in a second direction which deviate from each other in direction, the sleeve sliding pair is used for the linear continuous shape object to extend and receives a unidirectional force of the object to generate the movement stroke in the first direction, the movement stroke in the second direction of the sleeve sliding pair can be continuously reset, and the movement stroke is accepted and a switch signal output is generated. The present invention ensures the continuity of the water outlet pipeline, avoids water leakage, and saves production and assembly process.
SANITARY FAUCET HAVING A HOSE
A sanitary faucet (1) having at least: a faucet housing (2) having an outlet (3) and an outlet opening (4); and a hose (5) made of silicone having at least one first lumen (6) for routing a first liquid from a first source of liquid (7) to the outlet opening (4), a second lumen (8) for routing a second liquid from a second source of liquid (9) to the outlet opening (4) and a third lumen (10) for routing a third liquid from a third source of liquid (11) to the outlet opening (4), wherein the hose (5) contains at least in part a jacket (12).
Cantilevered faucet spout
A faucet assembly including a spout with two fluid channels spaced apart from one another by a void. In an illustrative embodiment, the fluid channels converge near at least one outlet of the faucet assembly to create a desired flow pattern (e.g., waterfall flow) when the water source is operational and fluidly coupled to the faucet assembly. In an illustrative embodiment, the faucet spout is formed through additive manufacturing.
SINK WITH INTEGRATED RINSE FEATURE
A sink system includes a basin and a rinsing system. The basin includes a first wall configured to contain water within the basin. The rinsing system is integrated with the basin. The rinsing system includes one or more water outlets and a fluid conduit. The one or more water outlets are located along the first wall of the basin and are configured to dispense water into the basin. The fluid conduit extends at least partially along the first wall of the basin. The fluid conduit is fluidly coupled to the one or more water outlets and is configured to deliver water to the one or more water outlets.
Water-saving faucet
A faucet includes a faucet body including a half spherical, concave seat and a passageway having one end communicating with the seat; an externally threaded, hollow connector secured to the faucet body and communicating with the other end of the passageway; a ball valve including a hollow ball rotatably disposed in the seat, a channel communicating with the ball, and a port in the ball; a bonnet releasably secured to the faucet body and including a truncated, conic hole with the channel passing through and a portion of the ball disposed therein; a faucet spigot threadedly secured to the channel; a first O-ring disposed between the passageway and the ball; and a second O-ring disposed between the seat and the ball. In a first position the port communicates with the passageway. In a second position the port does not communicate with the passageway.
Mixing valve
A mixing valve that includes a housing having a first outlet, a second outlet, and a mixing chamber; a first flow control valve for controlling flow through the first outlet to the mixing chamber; and a second flow control valve for controlling flow through the second outlet to the mixing chamber; wherein the housing has a length dimension, a width dimension, and a thickness dimension, and the largest of these dimensions is no more than approximately 65 millimeters.
Power supply assembly for plumbing fixture
A power supply assembly and method for a plumbing fixture includes a control circuit that controls operation of the plumbing fixture, and a wireless power receiving circuit coupled to the control circuit that wirelessly receives energy and provides the energy to the control circuit.
MULTI-FUNCTION FIXTURE WITH SOAP REFILL SYSTEM
A lavatory system includes a countertop, a fixture, and a soap system mounted to the countertop adjacent the fixture. The fixture includes at least one leg, a first passage and a second passage distributed through the at least one leg, and an extension section extending from the at least one leg. A first tube carrying water extends through one of the first passage and the second passage, while a second tube carrying soap extends through one of the first passage and the second passage. The soap system includes a mounting component within an orifice of the countertop, a refill port extending through the mounting component to a soap container below the countertop, a cap over the refill port, and a soap pump to transmit soap from the soap container to the second tube of the fixture. A mounting bracket is secured below the countertop to support the soap container.
PLUMBING SYSTEM
A plumbing system is provided with a digital mixer valve providing a principal stream having a controlled temperature and flow rate. A fluid delivery device is also provided downstream of the digital mixer valve, the fluid delivery device having two or more sets of outlets, each of the two or more sets of outlets comprising at least two outlets, and having an outlet operating valve being disposed upstream of each set of outlets and being operable to control fluid flow to the set of outlets downstream thereof. A communication link is also provided between the digital mixer valve and the outlet operating valves. The digital mixer valve is configured, in use, to adjust the temperature and flow rate of the principal stream in dependence upon which set of outlets or combination of sets of outlets is in operation at a given time.
Washing place arrangement
A washing place arrangement including a washstand having a wash-bowl sink, a first water discharge device, including a plurality of water discharge nozzles arranged in the wash-bowl sink and configured for discharging water in a fountain jet which issues in an arc shape up to a maximum height and returns to the wash-bowl sink, and a second water discharge device discharging water in a shower jet. A nozzle assignment region of the first water discharge device is located in a rear half of the wash-bowl sink and extends across at most half the sink circumference. A shower jet outlet body of the second water discharge device is located on a rear side of the wash-bowl sink and the washstand and above the wash-bowl sink and the washstand. The second water discharge device is configured for discharging the shower jet in a direction pointing obliquely to the front downwards.
