Multipurpose shower head fixing device and shower fixing device
A shower fixing device includes a switching valve and a shower head fixing device. The shower head fixing device includes a connecting and fixing piece having a wrench structure and a shower head connecting mechanism detachably coupled to a shower head. The shower head connecting mechanism is fixedly connected to the connecting and fixing piece, and the connecting and fixing piece is detachably coupled to a locking nut of the switching valve.
Compact thin-film heat recovery device for showers
A first conduit having a cylindrical upper entrance region with the axis of the cylindrical region oriented vertically, which accepts incoming downwardly flowing hot drain water, a central region of said first conduit below the said entrance region having a conical shape of increasing diameter, reaching a maximum diameter 2-7 times larger than the upper region, the shape then transitioning to a decreasing diameter area of a conical shape, the shape transitioning to a cylindrical lower region with a diameter similar to the upper region diameter; a second conduit for the flow of the shower cold water supply, with a diameter 10-40 times smaller than the maximum diameter of the drain water conduit, and a length 10-40 times longer than the vertical length of the drain water conduit, the second conduit tightly wrapped around the first conduit and in close thermal contact with the first conduit.
Method and apparatus for stabilizing a loose showerhead assembly
A method for stabilizing a loose showerhead assembly and a shower stabilizer assembly are provided. The showerhead stabilizer assembly includes a stabilizer plate, one or more spacers of varying sizes/thicknesses, and a plurality of fasteners to secure the stabilizer plate to a structure. The method for stabilizing a loose showerhead includes the steps of removing the showerhead, installing one or more spacers onto the shower arm pipe to a depth that creates a hard stop, installing the stabilizer plate such that a spacer contact nipple of the stabilizer plate creates a hard stop against the spacer and the circular flange is in contact with the front surface of the shower wall, and securing the stabilizer plate by installing one or more fasteners in appropriate mounting holes located in the flange.
Rain shower
A shower assembly includes an inlet port, a reservoir, and a plurality of drop outlets. The inlet is for receiving water from a water source. The reservoir receives water from the inlet port and is not pressurized by a line pressure of the water source. Each of the drop outlet ports is configured, such that water passes from the reservoir, through the plurality of drop outlet ports, forms a drop at each drop outlet port, and falls from each drop outlet port only as discrete drops of water.
STRUCTURE FOR PICKING AND PLACING HAND SHOWER
The present disclosure discloses a structure for rapidly picking and placing a hand shower comprising a fixed portion, a shower body, and a trigger element. The fixed portion is movably disposed with a locking member, and the shower body is disposed with a locking matching portion. When the locking matching portion is locked to and matched with the locking member, the shower body is fixed relative to the fixed portion. The trigger element is movably disposed on the shower body. When the shower body is fixed relative to the fixed portion, the trigger element contacts the locking member, and movement of the trigger element is configured to drive the locking member to move to enable the locking member to be separated from the locking matching portion and to enable the shower body to be rapidly separated from the fixed portion.
SHOWER ADAPTER DEVICE
A shower attachment device includes a funnel, an elastic cord, a cleat, and a hose. The funnel includes a top portion defining an inlet and a bottom portion defining an outlet. The elastic cord is coupled to a first side of the top portion. The cleat extends from a second side of the top portion that is opposite the first side. The cleat is configured to cooperate with the elastic cord to permit the elastic cord to be removably coupled to the second side of the top portion. The hose is attached to the outlet and in fluid communication with an interior of the funnel.
SMART SHOWER SENSOR
A smart shower sensor configured to be fluidly coupled to a showerhead. The smart shower sensor is configured to provide notifications and/or transmit notifications to other smart devices based on, for example, water temperature and/or water usage.
Cold water discharge apparatus
A cold water discharge apparatus, for discharging water from an outlet port when feed water is hot and from a cold water discharge port when the feed water is cold, includes a temperature-sensitive first switching valve body and a diaphragm-type second switching valve body. The first switching valve body is configured to open/close a cold water discharge flow channel depending on temperature. The second switching valve body is configured to open a discharge flow channel due to the pressure caused by the flow of hot water through the discharge flow channel. The second switching valve body is configured to close the discharge flow channel due to the pressure caused by the flow of the cold water through the cold water discharge flow channel. The second switching valve body is configured to discharge residual water from the cold water discharge flow channel after stopping water has cooled down.
CONTROL SYSTEM FOR ONE OR MORE ABLUTIONARY DEVICES
A control system for one or more ablutionary devices includes a mixer valve having a first inlet and a second inlet configured to receive a supply of hot and cold water, and an outlet configured to output cold water, hot water or a mixture thereof as an output stream for suppling water to the one or more ablutionary devices downstream of the mixer valve; and a controller. The controller is configured obtain one or more current operating signals related to the flow rate of the output stream produced by the mixer valve and compare each of the one or more current operating signals to a corresponding historical operating signal, the historical operating signal being an operating signal previously obtained by the controller, and to generate a diagnostic signal based on the comparison.
CONTROL SYSTEM FOR ONE OR MORE ABLUTIONARY DEVICES
A control system for one or more ablutionary devices includes a valve having one or valve members each arranged to receive a respective water supply via one or more supply inlets, and an output for suppling output water to the one or more ablutionary devices downstream of the valve, the one or more valve members being arranged to control the flow of water between the one or more supply inlets and the output; one or more temperature sensors arranged to generate a respective temperature signal indicative of the temperature of any one or more of the water supply upstream of any one or more of the valve members, and the output water downstream of the one or more valve members; and a controller in communication with the one or more temperature sensors. The controller is configured to obtain one or more temperature signals from the one or more temperature sensors when the one or more ablutionary devices are not in use and to generate an indicator signal based on a comparison of the one or more temperature signals to one or more thresholds.
