A water temperature detection valve includes an external housing in which a rear water guide and a front water guide are arranged to respectively receive and retain a blade wheel and an electrical generator, which are movable in unison with each other, to arranged therein. A temperature detection unit includes a circuit board, a temperature sensor electrically connected to the circuit board, and an electrical output cable having an end electrically connected to the circuit board. The circuit board is electrically connected to the electrical generator. The electrical output cable extends outside the external housing. A water temperature display module includes a display device arranged inside a display holder that includes a light-transmitting window corresponding, in position, to the display device. An electrical input cable that is electrically connected to the display device has an end that is connectable, in a detachable manner, to the electrical output cable.

A display device is arranged in a faucet at a temperature detection zone to detect a temperature of water flowing therethrough and includes a sealing housing formed therein with an upper receiving space and a lower receiving space in communication with each other and having a bottom having a discharge hole extending therethrough; a circuit board arranged in the upper receiving space; a display module electrically connected with the circuit board; a temperature detection unit electrically connected with the circuit board and partly exposed outside the sealing housing; a hydraulic power generation module arranged in the lower receiving space and electrically connected with the circuit board, the display module, and the temperature detection unit; and a bottom cover fit to the bottom of the sealing housing in a manner of not covering the discharge hole and having a lower opening for entry of the mixture warm water.

An electrically operable valve assembly for an electronic faucet includes a valve housing having an interior region for receiving a fluid, a solenoid valve, and a temperature sensor positioned outside the interior region. A heat transfer device extends between the temperature sensor and the interior region to transfer heat from fluid in the interior region to the temperature sensor. A controller is in communication with the temperature sensor and operative to control the solenoid valve.

A faucet having a series of nozzles positioned longitudinally along the length of a spray arm to provide a robust and thorough delivery of water for the washing of produce. A thermometer may be integrated into the faucet to provide water temperature readings from various locations along the faucet. A valve allows for the nozzles to be turned on or off as desired by a user. The nozzles of the faucet provide a robust spray over the area under faucet, thereby improving the rinsing of produce. The thermometer allows a user to ensure that produce is washed at the correct temperature to open stomata and remove any trapped bacteria or other harmful items.

A faucet user interface illustratively includes a support extending along a longitudinal axis, and a handle operably coupled to the support. In an illustrative embodiment, the handle is rotatable about the longitudinal axis for controlling a first water parameter (e.g., water temperature), and the handle is axially movable along the longitudinal axis for controlling a second water parameter (e.g., water flow rate). In another illustrative embodiment, a first handle is rotatable about a longitudinal axis of a delivery spout for controlling a first water parameter, and a second handle is rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the delivery spout for controlling a second water parameter.

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.

The disclosure relates to a system on Chip (SoC) for an Internet of Things (IoT) device. An example use case is a faucet system with a SoC unit. Automatic faucets include different components such as a solenoid valve, sensor and control electronics, power source, and faucet. Automatic faucets turn on in response to different trigger events. The IoT unit can track activity by the faucet, for example. Another example use case in an electrical outlet system with a SoC unit.

An electronic faucet includes a spout, a fluid supply conduit supported by the spout, and a valve assembly including an electrically operable valve. A controller is coupled to the valve assembly and includes a processor operative to control the electrically operable valve to control fluid flow through the fluid supply conduit. The controller includes a port in communication with the processor, the port being releasably coupled to electronics of a secondary device.

A shower system includes a receptacle connected to an inlet tube for receiving a fluid, a temperature detector engaged in the receptacle for detecting a temperature of the fluid, a showering device attached to the receptacle, a container is connected to the receptacle for receiving the fluid from the receptacle, and connected to the showering device, a showering head is connected to the container, and a control valve is engaged in the container for controlling the fluid to flow out through either the showering device or the showering head selectively. The temperature detector monitors the temperature of the fluid flowing out through either the showering device or the showering head.

A display unit for a fluid delivery device which outputs water includes a printed circuit board, a diffuser supported by the printed circuit board, and a display screen electrically coupled to the printed circuit board. The display unit further includes a first light source electrically coupled to the printed circuit board, and a second light source electrically coupled to the printed circuit board. The first and second light sources define backlighting for the display screen. Operation of the first and second light sources is adjusted in response to a change in temperature of the output water of the fluid delivery device.
