A smart fill system includes one or more modules in connection with one or more water lines for regulating the temperature and flow rate of water into a vessel. The modules include a solenoid configured to regulate water flow through the module. A display is used to inform a user of information such as temperature of the water, flow rate, and fill level. A sensor is in electrical communication with the modules and is configured to detect the combined temperature of the water released from the modules. The sensor is configured to detect the water level and the module may automatically shut off the water at a predetermined water fill depth. A remote electronic device may be used to permit wireless control of the module.

A multifunctional restrictive valve for controlling the flow of water therethrough. The valve has a main body with a flow channel through the main body. The main body receives water upstream thereof through an inlet port and passes it out through an outlet port at the downstream end of the body. A flow control assembly is located in the flow channel and includes a temperature sensor/actuator acting on a piston to move, when the temperature sensor heats up the piston, to block water flow control ports. The flow control assembly also includes an override feature wherein the piston is located within a slide and the flow control ports are located in the slide. By moving the slide away from the piston when the piston is blocking the flow control ports, the temperature sensor and piston may be overridden and flow may resume through the main body.

A washer and diaper-changing apparatus includes a main chamber, a glass window, a seat, a leg holder, a safety belt, a diaper removing arm, a sprinkler, and a dryer. The main chamber is configured to receive an infant therein. The glass window is placed on a top wall of the main chamber. The seat is movably coupled to the main chamber and configured for placement of the infant on the seat. The leg holder is movably coupled to the main chamber and configured to support at least one leg of the infant. The safety belt is coupled to the seat and configured to retain the infant on the seat. The sprinkler is placed inside the main chamber and configured to spray water to wash at least a portion of the infant.

A shower head water collection structure includes a curved pendant, a fixing member, a temperature sensor, a temperature display, a pipe, and a water collection tank. The curved pendant is a hollow housing having a semi-circular arc shape. The curved pendant has an opening at a top thereof and a plurality of through holes at a bottom thereof. One side of the curved pendant is recessed downward from the top to form a curved groove portion for placement of a shower head. The temperature display displays the temperature of the water flowing out of the shower head detected by the temperature sensor. The pipe has one end connected to the bottom of the curved pendant and another end connected to the water collection tank. The initial water flow of the shower head flows through the through holes and the pipe to the water collection tank for recycling.

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.

The present disclosure relates to 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.

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.

The purpose of the invention is to help prevent water loss and also increase public health. In this invention, by using the new and advanced technology, the physical contact of the hand or any other objects with the valve has been eliminated and all possible situations to use the valve has been done electronically and digitally. In addition, by using the nanotechnology, sterilized and antimicrobial water can be used, while the valve is controlled by sound. With these systems, the wastage of water is decreased in very high percentage, and there is a great hope to prevent the loss of water resources in this area.

An advertising display for use in a prior art faucet control system is disclosed. The prior art faucet control system comprises a valve apparatus, sensors or a touch panel to be activated by a user, and a controller that controls the valve apparatus. A first sensor may start water flow and a second sensor may alter the proportion of waters delivered from two water sources. The faucet control system is provided with an electronic digital display to be used for the display of advertising and/or promotions. The advertising display may be selectively operated in either automatic or interactive formats. In the automatic format, a series of screens are successively displayed on the screen in order to provide a variety of advertisements.

The invention is a sink system in which a faucet is embedded within a sink cover. This allows a user to completely cover a sink, making the sink space available for other work without the inconvenience of disposing of a separate faucet fixture. The invention comprises a sink basin and a hinged sink cover attached to the basin. The sink cover fits exactly within the sink basin. The sink cover doubles as a faucet. It has a channel, which may extend entirely or partially through the sink cover, which directs a flow of water from a source of water, through the channel, and into the sink basin. The sink system may also have sensors and valves to control temperature and water flow, a digital display panel that displays temperature and flow rate, a user interface, or a visual indictor of water temperature, preferably by means of LED lights.
