WALL-CONCEALED FAUCET AND SHOWER SYSTEM
The present utility model discloses a wall-concealed faucet, including a box body pre-buried in a wall and a valve body disposed in the box body. A first valve seat and a second valve seat for disposing a regulating valve and a switching valve respectively are formed on the valve body, and inlet water openings two or more outlet water openings for supplying cold water and hot water respectively are disposed on the valve body. The inlet water opening communicates through a water channel in the valve body with the regulating valve disposed on the first valve seat. The regulating valve is in communication with the switching valve disposed in the second valve seat. The regulating valve is used to regulate a water temperature and a flow rate, and the switching valve is used to switch a water delivery state of each outlet water opening.
MAGNETIC PULL-OUT FAUCET
The present utility model provides a magnetic pull-out faucet including a faucet body, a faucet support bracket, and a water supply hose movable in the faucet body and the faucet support bracket. A hose connector is disposed on a front end of the water supply hose and connected with a water outflow pull head. The faucet support bracket is provided with a cross rod, the cross rod is provided with a first magnetic attraction element. The hose connector is provided with a second magnetic attraction element. The first magnetic attraction element is a magnet having a magnetism, and the second magnetic attraction element is a magnet with a magnetism opposite to the first magnetic attraction element or an iron element magnetizable by the first magnetic attraction element. The cross rod is mated with the hose connector in a magnetic attraction manner
WATER CONSERVING SHOWER SYSTEMS
A plumbing system for a shower or the like includes a mixing valve operable for delivering a water flow of adjustable temperature from a water source to a dispensing device downstream from the mixing valve. The system further includes a diverter valve between the mixing valve and the dispensing device, and operable to divert a selectively variable portion of the water from the mixing valve back to the water source. A thermochromic thermal indicator, downstream from the mixing valve, may advantageously provide a visible indication of the water flow having achieved a predetermined temperature. The thermal indicator may be a thermochromic PVC conduit, or it may be a fitting having an inlet, an outlet, a thermochromic PVC element therebetween, and a barrier located between the inlet and the outlet so as to define a flow path that includes an interior surface of the thermochromic element.
INTELLIGENT SHOWER SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING AUTOMATICALLY-UPDATED SHOWER RECIPE
Disclosed herein relates to a field of an intelligent shower system, and more particularly, to an intelligent shower system used for a shower and/or outputting water for other purposes, and methods of providing a recipe, and automatically updating the recipe associated with the intelligent shower system. In some embodiments, a method of updating a recipe is provided, in which the method includes: a set-point reception step of receiving, by a remote computing device, history data including one or more set-points which are inputted to a shower device directly or indirectly from a user; and a recipe updating step of generating, by the remote computing device, an updated shower recipe by applying the history data to a previous shower recipe.
FAUCET ASSEMBLY
A faucet assembly includes a faucet body defining a hot water inlet, a cold water inlet and at least one water outlet; a valve cartridge detachably received in the faucet body, the valve cartridge defines a mixing chamber and the hot water from the hot water inlet and the cold water from the cold water inlet is mixed in the mixing chamber and flows out via the water outlet; and a valve plate detachably assembled to the faucet body. The faucet body is provided with a hot water pipe connecting the hot water inlet and the mixing chamber. The hot water pipe is formed with a hot water stop valve assembly detachably assembled thereto. The faucet body is provided with a cold water pipe connecting the cold water inlet and the mixing chamber. The cold water pipe is formed with a cold water stop valve assembly detachably assembled thereto.
Water conserving shower system and thermochromic fixtures used therein
A water delivery system includes a mixing valve operable for delivering a water flow of adjustable temperature from a water source to a dispensing device downstream from the mixing valve; a thermochromic thermal indicator, fluidly coupled between the mixing valve and the dispensing device, that provides a visible indication of the water flow having achieved a predetermined temperature; and a diverter valve, fluidly coupled between the mixing valve and the dispensing device, and operable to direct the water flow selectively either to the dispensing device or back to the water source. The thermal indicator may be a thermochromic PVC conduit, or it may be a fitting having an inlet, an outlet, a thermochromic PVC element therebetween, and a barrier located between the inlet and the outlet so as to define a flow path that includes an interior surface of the thermochromic element.
Interactive Display Device
The invention provides a bathroom fixture in the form of an electronic mirror with a touchlessly operated fluid dispenser. The device provides visual cues to assist in the touchless operation thereof.
Water Conservation System
A water conservation system includes a shower that may deliver a fluid. The shower has a pair of intersecting walls, a shower head and a drain. The shower head may be fluidly coupled to a fluid source thereby facilitating the shower head to deliver the fluid. A storage unit is positioned in the shower and the storage unit is fluid communication with the shower head. The storage unit is positioned in an open position when the shower is initially turned on. Thus, the storage unit stores cold fluid until heated fluid travels to the shower head thereby inhibiting the cold fluid from passing through the drain. The storage unit retains the cold fluid to be used at a later time.
ELECTRONIC SHOWER VALVE
An electronic shower valve including a coaxially aligned motor and gear assembly received within a valve body and configured to move a flow control element. Illustratively, a display is supported by the valve body and is in electrical communication with a controller. A manual override may engage with the flow control element for manual operation thereof
