ELECTRONIC WATER OUTLET TERMINAL
The present disclosure discloses is an electronic water outlet terminal, comprising an electronic valve, a mechanical valve, a control module for controlling the electronic valve, and an operation handle for controlling the mechanical valve. The mechanical valve comprises a cold water inlet, a hot water inlet, and a water outlet. The electronic valve and the mechanical valve are connected in series. The control module sends a control signal to control the electronic valve to open after receiving a water discharge command. When the operation handle is in a closed position, the water outlet is in fluid connection with the cold water inlet. The electronic water outlet terminal of the present disclosure can still be used by a user when the operation handle is in the closed position.
SWITCHING STRUCTURE WITH ELECTRONIC WATER DISCHARGE MODE AND MECHANICAL WATER DISCHARGE MODE AND WATER OUTLET FAUCET
The present disclosure provides a switching structure with an electronic water discharge mode and a mechanical water discharge mode. The switching structure comprises an electronic valve, a mechanical valve, a control module for controlling the electronic valve, an operation handle for controlling the mechanical valve, and a switching member for switching between the electronic water discharge mode and the mechanical water discharge mode. The electronic valve and the mechanical valve are connected in series between a water outlet and a water inlet. The switching member outputs a mechanical water discharge mode signal or an electronic water discharge mode signal to the control module. When the switching member is in the electronic water discharge mode, the control module controls the electronic valve to open after receiving a water discharge command. When the switching member is in the mechanical water discharge mode, the control module controls the electronic valve to stay open.
Extraction-type water discharging device
An extraction-type water discharging device includes an outlet portion, a support member, a hose passing through the support member and communicating with the hose, and a resetting member. The outlet portion is provided with a first guide structure, and the support member is provided with a second guide structure. One of the first and second guide structures is a convex guide surface, and the other one is a concave guide surface cooperating with the convex guide surface. The convex guide surface is smoothly tapered from a base portion to a top portion. The convex guide surface has a sectional shape of a smooth curve eccentric towards radial direction. The first and second guide structures are configured to, under the action of the reset member, guide a radial alignment and an axial rotational movement such that the outlet portion reset to be aligned with and fits on the support member.
WATER CENTER APPLIANCE AND AIO FAUCET
An example water center appliance configured to incorporate various features associated with a sink is provided. An example water center appliance includes a top section and a bottom section. In one example embodiment, the top section includes a sink basin, a faucet, a water filter assembly, a water inlet connection, and an electricity connection. In one example embodiment, the bottom section includes a first sliding drawer, and a second sliding drawer, wherein the first sliding drawer and the second sliding drawer are shaped to accommodate one or more components of the top section.
STEPPED BASIN SINK
An example sink having a stepped sink basin is provided. The sink includes a front wall, a rear wall, a first side wall and a second side wall. The sink also includes a stepped sink basin that includes a raised portion and a lower basin portion. The raised portion of the basin provides a front ledge extending from the front wall toward the rear wall, and extending between the first and second side walls below a top plane of the sink. The lower portion of the basin extends from a bottom of the rear wall toward the front wall, the lower basin defining a drain. The sink still further includes a surface connecting the front ledge to the lower basin.
Auto-retracting mechanism for faucet spray head
An auto-retracting faucet spray head has an auto-retract mechanism, which includes a docking assembly provided at the end of the faucet body to facilitate automatic retraction and docking of the spray head. The docking assembly includes a spring-loaded mechanism that automatically docks the spray head to the faucet body when an adapter coupled to the spray head engages the docking assembly.
Faucet
A faucet contains: a hollow body, a control assembly, an inlet pipe set, a mixing-water outlet pipe, a pull hose, a spray head, and an isolation pipe. The hollow body includes an inflow portion and an outflow portion. The control assembly includes a mixing valve and an operation element. The inlet pipe set includes a cold-water inlet pipe and a hot-water inlet pipe. The mixing-water outlet pipe includes a first connector and a second connector. The pull hose includes an inlet segment and an outlet segment. The spray head is connected with the outlet segment of the pull hose, and the spray head is removed from and fixed on the outflow portion of the hollow body. The isolation pipe includes a channel defined therein so that the pull hose slidably moves in the isolation pipe and avoids contacting with the inlet pipe set and the mixing-water outlet pipe.
Magnetic coupling for sprayheads
A faucet including a faucet head, a body and a magnetic coupling releasably coupling the faucet head to the faucet body.
FAUCET SPRAY HEAD MAGNETIC DOCKING SYSTEMS
A faucet spray head magnetic docking system includes a socket that couples to an end of the spout, and a bonnet that couples to the spray head and that engages with the socket. The socket includes a shell configured to be arranged in the mouth of the spout, and integrated with one or more magnetic elements. The magnetic elements may be inserted into corresponding holes of the socket shell. Alternatively, the magnetic elements may be incorporated directly into the shell. The bonnet includes a threaded portion for coupling to corresponding threads of a connector at the spray head, and includes one or more corresponding magnets configured to magnetically attract to the magnetic elements of the socket.
FORCE ASSISTED ARTICULATING FAUCET
A faucet that includes a base; a riser having a first end, which couples to the base, and a distal second end; a first pivot member extending between first and second ends, wherein the first pivot member operatively couples to the second end of the riser at a first pivot axis located between the first and second ends of the first pivot member; a spout fluidly connected to the base through the riser and the first pivot member, the spout comprising an inlet end, which couples to the second end of the first pivot member such that the spout is rotatable relative to the riser through the first pivot member; and a biasing member operatively coupled to the first end of the first pivot member such that the biasing member creates a force, which biases and/or dampens relative rotation between the spout and the riser about the first pivot axis.
