Water delivery control system
A water delivery control system operates to selectively deliver water from a water source to water use devices. The system includes at least one controller that wirelessly communicates messages with a portable user device. The system includes a water control valve and a motor that is operative to selectively move at least one valve element of the valve. A water meter is operative to measure water flow that corresponds to flow through the valve. The controller is operable to cause the valve to enable or prevent flow through the valve responsive at least in part to water flow data. The controller is operative to determine a water use condition responsive to a water usage pattern, and to cause at least one message to be sent to the portable user device responsive to the determined water use condition.

Actuator assembly for a fluid control device
A fluid control device includes a body having an inlet, an outlet, and a fluid flow path between the inlet and the outlet, a seat, and a control element that is coupled to a stem. The control element and the stem are movable along a first axis and biased toward a closed position in which the control element engages the seat. The fluid control device includes an actuator assembly including a shaft that is operatively coupled to the stem via a Scotch yoke mechanism such that rotation of the shaft in a first rotational direction causes movement of the stem and control element along the first axis in a first translational direction. The actuator assembly includes a trigger mechanism that is responsive to fluid pressure and prevents rotation of the shaft in a first mode of operation and releases the shaft to allow rotation in a second mode of operation.

TRANSMISSION PART, VALVE DRIVE ASSEMBLY AND VALVE
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of pipeline equipment, and discloses a transmission part, a valve drive assembly and a valve. The valve drive assembly includes a first transmission part, a second transmission part and a driving part, the first transmission part is configured to be detachably connected with the rotating shaft of the valve; the second transmission part is in transmission connection with the first transmission part, and can move in an axial direction of the rotating shaft relative to the first transmission part; the driving part is used to drive the second transmission part to rotate so as to drive the first transmission part and the rotating shaft of the valve to rotate. With the application of the valve drive assembly of the present disclosure, even if the rotating shaft moves axially in the process of rotation, the first transmission part moves therewith, and can always maintain cooperation with the second transmission part, thus realizing the transmission between the two. Therefore, the valve drive assembly can be adapted to the axial displacement of the rotating shaft, and has better adaptability. The transmission part provided in the present disclosure can be applied to the above-mentioned valve drive assembly. The valve provided in the present disclosure includes the valve drive assembly described above.
