Electronic Water Distribution Center
Apparatus is provided to electronically operate the hot water and/or cold water plumbing system of any home or business kitchen and bathroom with or without a faucet. The electronic water distribution center is a universal device that can connect to any faucet system. The apparatus, The users preferred faucet hot and cold manual controls will set the pressure for the water that is outputted from the spout. The said apparatus has a control system and a main system. The control system transmits a signal wired or wireless system temperature controller/(Android, Apple, Bluetooth, WIFI, ZIGBEE) to the main system to fluctuate one or more electronic solenoid water valve. One solenoid water valve controls the hot water and the second solenoid water valve control the cold water. Both solenoid used in unison creates a precise warm water temperature. The said apparatus can electronically control any home or business kitchen/bathroom, or any faucet electronically by the press of the hot, cold, or warm temperature switch push buttons or the controller systems on-board/external motion sensor.
Smart water supply valve system and method for controlling same
A smart water supply valve system according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises an inflow unit for being supplied with water through one or more pipes; a valve for allowing/suspending the flow of water input through the inflow unit; a first sensing unit for sensing the pressure or flow rate of water unit input through the input unit; a second sensing unit for sensing at least one of the movement, the shape, and the heat distribution of an object; a controller for controlling the amount of opening/closing of the valve or the flow rate of water on the basis of sensing outputs from the first and second sensing units; and an outflow unit for discharging water supplied from the pipe.
Interactive Display Device
The invention provides a bathroom fixture in the form of an electronic mirror with a touchlessly operated fluid dispenser. The device provides visual cues to assist in the touchless operation thereof.
CONNECTOR FOR AN ELECTRONIC FAUCET
A connector for an electronic faucet including a light source. The connector includes a socket and is configured to distinguish between an electrically conductive plug and an electrically non-conductive plug for controlling activation of the light source.
USER FRIENDLY SYSTEMS AND DEVICES FACILITATING WATER CONSERVATION IN THE SMART HOME
Systems and methods for facilitating water conservation and smart water control are provided. Water conservation and smart water control can be achieved using a smart water apparatus having the ability to approximate distance, mass, and/or specific characteristics of an object such as a human or inanimate object and adjust flow rate of water and/or temperature of the water based on the approximated distance, mass, and/or specific characteristics of an object. The smart water apparatus can be embodied, for example, in a network connected shower head or a network connected faucet.

Rationed outlet device
A rationed water outlet device with a variable water flow volume includes a process control module including an outlet valve, a flow meter, a control chip, and an encoder that includes an unlimited outlet gear and a plurality of rationed outlet gears which are switchably connected to the outlet valve to provide respectively, when engaged, an unlimited water flow volume or a selected rationed water flow volume from among a plurality of rationed water flow volumes, and that is electrically connected to the control chip to provide gear selection information; a volume option switch that is rotatably linked to the encoder for engaging the unlimited outlet gear or one rationed outlet gear; and an outlet control switch that is independent of the volume option switch and that is engaged after the volume option switch is engaged.
TUB FAUCET HAVING A CONTROL VALVE WITH REDUCED BACKPRESSURE
A water control system including a showerhead and a tub faucet. The faucet has a valve configured to automatically restrict fluid flow through the faucet and direct fluid to the showerhead as a function of a parameter, such as a predetermined water temperature. The faucet has many modes of operation, including a Reset Mode, an Auto-Divert Mode, a Bypass Mode, and a Cold Mode. A flow control device generates minimal back-pressure when in the Reset Mode such that water does not undesirably back flow to a shower head.
METERED DISPENSE INPUT DEVICE
The present disclosure relates to a metered dispense input device that wirelessly communicates with a wireless control module of an electronic faucet to allow wireless control of the faucet such that selected volumes of water can be dispensed. The present disclosure further relates to a metered dispense input device that is integrated into an electronic faucet to allow the dispensing of selected volumes of water.
