Water saving flow regulator that is flow volume switchable

A water-saving flow regulator includes a housing; a flow regulating device within the housing and having a shaft hole that has a periphery including a plurality of through holes; a switching shaft movable between an initial position and a second position, sleeved with a sealing part, and inserted into the shaft hole; and a water diversion body disposed above the flow regulating device and having a bottom portion that forms a chamber. When the switching shaft is in the initial position, the sealing part closes a first flow passage so that water only flows out of a second flow passage. When the switching shaft is in the second position, the sealing part of the switching shaft moves away from the flow regulating device, the second flow passage is open and remains open due to water pressure so that water flows out of both passages.

SHOWER HEAD STRUCTURE

A shower head structure includes a main body, a face plate, and a switching device installed inside the main body for controlling an outflow of water from the face plate. The circumferential portion of the face plate is provided with a plurality of water outlet units. Each water outlet unit includes a plurality of jet orifices. The water flowing from the plurality of jet orifices forms a bunched spout. The bunched spout includes a plurality of fine spouts. The water won't spray about. Since the diameter of the jet orifice is small, the force of the fine spouts is stronger. The water-saving effect is good. The shower head can be used for low pressure environment.

A water valve is provided in the chamber and includes a driving member and a control valve movable between a first position enabling mixing of water and air and a second position enabling shut-off of a water flow. The faucet head further includes a sliding member slidably coupled with the faucet head to enable a user to operate the control valve within the water valve by operating the sliding member from a side of the faucet head.

FAUCETS PROVIDING ADDITIONAL CONTROL FOR WATER FLOW

A faucet having a faucet base, a water hose, a faucet head, and a chamber is provided. A water valve is provided in the chamber and includes a driving member and a control valve movable between a first position enabling mixing of water and air and a second position enabling shut-off of a water flow. The faucet head further includes a control member rotatably coupled with the faucet head to enable a user to operate the control valve within the water valve by operating the control member from a side of the faucet head.

Hot water supply system

The present invention achieves energy saving and a decrease in facility cost for a hot water supply device by dividing a water receiving tank. A hot water supply system comprising: a water receiving tank receiving water supplied from a water supply source; a hot water storage tank connected to the water receiving tank via a connection pipe and storing hot water and supplying hot water to a hot water supply load; and a hot water supply device supplying the water stored in the hot water storage tank. The water receiving tank including: a temperature non-raising water receiving tank storing water supplied from the water supply source, the temperature non-raising water receiving tank, a general water supply pipe performing general water supply being connected; a temperature raising water receiving tank storing the water supplied from the water supply source and supplying the stored water to the hot water storage tank; and a preheating device preheating the water stored in the temperature raising water receiving tank.

Water-saving device for a faucet and method of using the same
09790669 · 2017-10-17 · ·

A water-saving device for a faucet has a main body. A flow-controlling member and a movable flow-blocking member are mounted in the main body. The main body has multiple receiving holes that receive respectively multiple positioning balls. A driving member movably receives an outer surface of the main body. When the faucet is open, the flow-controlling member and the flow-blocking member facilitate a water flow that is adjustable and stable. A user pulls the driving member downwards for increasing the water flow as required. The positioning balls are mounted in the driving member. The flow-blocking member that is pressed by the water flow moves downwards. When the faucet is closed, the flow-blocking member restores to an original position, thereby automatically adjusting the faucet to a minimum water flow for next use and economizes the water usage.

FAUCET WATER DISCHARGE CONTROL METHOD, FAUCET WATER DISCHARGE CONTROL SYSTEM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

A faucet water discharge control method, a faucet water discharge control system, and a storage medium are disclosed. The faucet water discharge control method includes: when a water discharge control instruction that includes a target temperature value is received, determining a target hot water flow rate and a target cold water flow rate based on the target temperature value, controlling valve opening of a first valve based on the target hot water flow rate, controlling valve opening of a second valve based on the target cold water flow rate, acquiring a reference temperature value sent by a temperature sensor, and controlling on/off state of a third valve based on the target temperature value and the reference temperature value so that the difference between the reference temperature value and the target temperature value is within an error range, avoiding excessively hot water discharge and reducing the risk of scalding.

FLOW REGULATOR

A flow regulator includes a housing portion, a diversion device, an annular seat and an elastic water stop ring. The annular seat, the diversion device and the housing portion are fixedly assembled together. The diversion device comprises a periphery wall disposed with diversion holes, a central base in the periphery wall and a deflecting annular wall fixedly connecting the periphery wall and the central base. The external periphery surface of the deflecting annular wall is gradually larger downwardly from the central base to the periphery wall. The central base has at least a part extending out of the internal hole of the annular seat. A flowing clearance is formed between the central base and the hole wall of the internal hole of the annular seat. The flowing clearance is disposed above the deflecting annular wall so that water flows out of the flowing clearance and onto the deflecting annular wall.
