AUTOMATIC DRAIN SYSTEM
An automatic drain system may comprise a drain including a neck defining a drain orifice and a flange extending from the neck. A liquid detection sensor is located on at least one of the neck or the flange. A sink assembly may comprise a sink basin and the drain located in a sink opening formed in the sink basin.
Electronic drain closure system
A system comprising: a drain fitting securable to a container for containing a liquid and an evacuation drain; and a closure member comprising: a casing; a motion device for moving the casing relative between an open position in which the casing is away from the drain fitting to allow the liquid from flowing from the container into the evacuation drain and a closed position in which the casing abuts against the drain fitting to prevent the liquid from flowing from the container into the evacuation drain; an electrical motor received in the casing for activating the motion device; a communication unit received in the casing for at least receiving a command indicative of one of an opening of the electronic drain closure system and a closure of the electronic drain closure system; and a controller for activating the electrical motor in accordance with the command received by the communication unit.

Water Resource Control System At Home And Method Thereof
The present invention illustrates a water resource control system at home and a method thereof. In the system, a water pressure sensor and a flow sensor are respectively set up at a water outlet of a drain device and a bottom of the water outlet. A water pressure value and a flow value respectively measured by the water pressure sensor and the flow sensor are transmitted to a server. When the water pressure value is higher than a default pressure threshold and the flow value is higher than a default flow threshold, the server generates and transmits a water supply termination instruction to a control switch which is set up at a water inlet. The control switch then closes the water inlet according to the water supply termination instruction. Therefore, the technical effect of avoiding from wasting water resource can be achieved.
