Switch detection assembly and faucet having the same
The present invention relates to a switch detection assembly and a faucet having the same. The switch detection assembly is used to perform switch detection on a movement stroke of a linear continuous shape object, and includes a sleeve sliding pair, the sleeve sliding pair has a movement stroke in a first direction and a movement stroke in a second direction which deviate from each other in direction, the sleeve sliding pair is used for the linear continuous shape object to extend and receives an unidirectional force of the object to generate the movement stroke in the first direction, the movement stroke in the second direction of the sleeve sliding pair can be continuously reset, and the movement stroke is accepted and a switch signal output is generated. The present invention ensures the continuity of the water outlet pipeline, avoids water leakage, and saves production and assembly process.
Magnetic coupling for sprayheads
A faucet including a faucet head, a body and a magnetic coupling releasably coupling the faucet head to the faucet body.
MULTIFUNCTIONAL SMART FAUCET
The present disclosure relates to multifunctional smart faucets able to dispense a plurality of cleaning and personal hygiene liquids. In accordance with aspects and embodiments, a multifunctional smart faucet system is provided comprising a faucet that, in addition to having traditionally plumbed hot and cold water lines, includes a plurality of reservoirs, each of the plurality of reservoirs having a reservoir channel extending from the reservoir through the body of the faucet. The faucet systems disclosed includes a manual push button able to dispense fluids in the reservoirs, as well automated systems for dispensing fluids on intervals and according to pre-determined programming. In some embodiments, the disclosed smart faucet systems are controllable by smart devices with the aid of a dedicated application.
MAGNETIC COUPLING FOR SPRAYHEADS
A faucet including a faucet head, a body and a magnetic coupling releasably coupling the faucet head to the faucet body.
Pulldown kitchen faucet with spring spout
A faucet including a spring spout supporting a spout nest, and a sprayhead releasably coupled to the spout nest. A docking cradle is supported by the spout base and is configured to releasably couple to the spout nest. The faucet may include a capacitive sensor operably coupled to the spring spout by at least one capacitive coupling.
FAUCET WITH ARTICULATING ARM

Luminous water outlet device
The present disclosure provides a luminous water outlet device, which includes a hydroelectric power generation module, a waterway separation body, a waterway switching module, a water outlet panel, and a light board. The hydroelectric power generation module is arranged at a water inlet, the waterway separation body has two waterways, the waterway switching module is used to switch a flow of water in the two waterways, and the water outlet panel is correspondingly arranged below the two waterways, the light board is electrically connected with the hydroelectric power generation module. Compared with the prior art, the hydroelectric power generation module is arranged in the water inlet to ensure that the light board works no matter which waterway is opened and allows water to flow through. Further, the present disclosure has simpler installation, smaller volume, and simpler waterway structure.
Touch free automatic faucet
A touch free automatic faucet is provided. The faucet includes a faucet housing including many sensors for controlling water flow and water temperature. A processor is connected to the sensors. A first control valve assembly is connected to the processor. A second control valve assembly is connected to the processor. A power source is connected to the processor, the first control valve assembly and the second control valve assembly. Water flow and water temperature are controlled by the sensors without touching of the faucet housing.
Touchless, remotely activatable assembly for fluid flow regulation, related systems and methods
The invention includes an assembly for remotely controlling fluid flow between a fluid source, such as a water source, and an outlet that includes at least one electrically operable valve, such as an electromagnetically-actuatable valve, to be interposed between the fluid source and the outlet, the valve being actuatable between an open position, in which the source and the outlet are fluidly connected, and a closed position in which the source and the outlet are not fluidly connected; at least one actuator, such as a solenoid actuator, operably connected to the at least one valve for actuating the valve between the open and closed positions; a controller comprising a receiver for receiving a wireless signal, wherein the controller is operably connected to the actuator and capable of actuating the actuator upon receipt of a wireless signal by the receiver; and an activator device comprising (i) a user-activatable sensor for detecting a stimulus when the stimulus enters a detection zone and (ii) a transmitter that transmits the wireless signal upon activation of the sensor by a user to the receiver. In an embodiment, it may be desirable that the electrically operable valves are also mechanically actuatable or that one or more (additional) manually activatable valves in included in the assembly.
