FLUID CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD
20190039877 · 2019-02-07 · ·

Some embodiments include a fluid control system with an outlet valve assembly, an inlet valve assembly including a venturi inlet valve, and an actuator coupled to the inlet valve assembly. In some embodiments, the actuator can enable a user to control a flush volume of fluid control system. Some embodiments include a moveable float positioned in a chamber of the outlet valve assembly, where the chamber includes a variably-sized upper portion with a volume that is based at least in part on a variable position of the moveable float in the chamber. Some embodiments include a adjustable control valves coupled to an outer surface of the outlet valve assembly and the inlet valve assembly. Some embodiments also include a bellows positioned in and coupled to the variably-sized upper portion. In some embodiments, the bellows are fluidly coupled to the venturi inlet valve and at least one of the control valves.

Automatic Shutoff Valve
20170254429 · 2017-09-07 ·

An automatic shutoff valve for water conservation consists of a stoppage valve, a central flow tube, a floatation device, and a clamping mechanism. The central flow tube is rotatably positioned within a shell body of the stoppage valve. The floatation device which determines the orientation of the central flow tube. To do so, the floatation device is mechanically engaged to the central flow tube. Depending on the orientation of the central flow tube, the stoppage valve obtains an open configuration or a closed configuration. When used within a toilet tank, the open configuration allows water to pass through the stoppage valve. In the closed configuration, the water flow through the stoppage valve is discontinued. A first pair of stoppers and a second pair of stoppers ensure that the stoppage valve transitions between the open configuration and the closed configuration in a small operational angle.

System and method for a low flush toilet system

The disclosed technology includes a tank system including a gravity tank configured to contain water at atmospheric pressure, a rigid pressurized tank positioned within the gravity tank and configured to contain water at a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure, and a piston assembly positioned below the rigid pressurized tank and configured to open and close the rigid pressurized tank. The gravity tank is configured to channel water at atmospheric pressure into a toilet bowl at a first velocity and the rigid pressurized tank is configured to channel water at the pressure greater than atmospheric pressure into the toilet bowl at a second velocity. The second velocity is greater than the first velocity.
