Optimized Hydromodification Management With Active Stormwater Controls
20180011452 · 2018-01-11 ·

A system, methodology, and programming logic for active stormwater controls to optimize sizing and design of Hydromodification Management (HM) structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) to achieve optimal flow duration control. Control logic enables the controlled release of stormwater from a BMP in a manner most akin to pre-development flow duration curves. Inputs to this logic include: flow duration curves based on continuous hydrologic simulation for pre- and post-development conditions; real-time measurement of water level within the BMP; and real-time measurement of discharge entering the BMP. This control logic can interact with control logic for other stormwater management objectives, such as harvest and reuse, infiltration, and combined sewer overflow prevention, and respective inputs, such as real-time weather forecast data, precipitation gage data, downstream flow gauge data, and water quality data, to meet those design objectives as well. New HM BMPs can be optimized to be smaller and, thus, more feasible to implement. Existing stormwater facilities designed for flood control or other management objectives can be retrofitted to provide hydromodification control as well. When utilized with real-time flow and water level monitoring equipment and data, the flow release logic can be adaptively adjusted without physical retrofit of the BMP's outlet.

A SAVING WATER TANK OF CLOSESTOOL
20180010321 · 2018-01-11 ·

An intermediate water-saving closestool water tank. A basin drain pipe is connected to the closestool water tank. Before the closestool is used, a time-delay valve (13) or a ping-pong valve is pressed so that tap water is supplemented when the water supply tank of the basin is not full. After the tap water is supplemented in the water tank and before the closestool is flushed, the ping-pong valve needs to be pressed again to prevent a ball float type water supplementary valve (14) from automatically supplementing tap water subsequently. The time-delay valve (13) does not need to be pressed again, and a flushing valve (17) is pressed normally when the closestool is flushed. Two flap valves are arranged at the bottom of the basin, one of the flap valves is directly connected to the drainage sewer, and the other one is communicated with the closestool water tank. The device achieves energy-saving and water-saving purposes.

WATER FLOW RATE AUTOMATIC CONTROL MODULE
20230035684 · 2023-02-02 ·

A water flow rate automatic control module, relating to the field of thermostatic shower fittings. The water flow rate automatic control module comprising a base, a valve body, a thermosensitive assembly, a diaphragm, wherein a temperature sensing part senses the temperature of passing cold water in real time; when the temperature of cold water is too low, the mixed water flow rate is slowed down, and more hot water is supplied to a thermostatic valve core assembly for mixing; when the temperature of cold water is too high, the mixed water flow rate is increased, and more cold water is supplied to the thermostatic valve core assembly for mixing. Therefore, the mixed water temperature range of the thermostatic valve core assembly can be ensured, and the problem of temperature adjustment failure or beyond the temperature difference caused by matching the thermostatic shower with a gas water heater is solved.

AUTOMATIC FLUSHING DEVICE FOR ELECTRONIC BIDET HAVING AUTOMATIC FLUSHING FUNCTION FOR BOTH WATER TANK AND DIRECT FLUSH VALVE TOILET
20230030631 · 2023-02-02 ·

Proposed is an automatic flushing device for an electronic bidet, in which the automatic flushing device has an automatic flushing function and is for both a water tank toilet and a direct flush valve toilet. In contrast to existing bidets, which are produced separately for the water tank toilet and the direct flush valve toilet in order to enable the automatic flushing function of the water tank toilet and the direct flush valve toilet, the automatic flushing device for the electronic bidet enables a single bidet to be capable of being used in both the water tank toilet and the direct flush valve toilet.

Liquid run-off disposal system
11643800 · 2023-05-09 ·

An improved liquid run-off disposal system is described having an infiltration chamber 72 with first and second sidewalls 74. In cross-sectional view the first and second sidewalls 74 each include an inner surface 76 and outer surface 78, and each sidewall 74 includes a plurality of integrated louvre-shaped apertures 80. In cross-sectional view each louvre-shaped aperture 80 includes an upper surface 82 and a lower surface 84 which are angled upwards from the outer surface 78 and protrude inwards from the inner surface 76 into the interior of the infiltration chamber 72. The upper and lower surfaces 82, 84 comprise a plurality of angled sections, the angled sections being arranged so as to form a substantially vertical flow path through a portion of the aperture 80. The angled sections of the upper and lower surfaces 82, 84 are arranged at an angle and of a length so as to substantially overlap when viewed in a horizontal direction. The overlapping region “Y.sub.1” ensures that the apertures 80 will admit the exit of water but substantially inhibit the entry of soil wherein, in use, when liquid run-off is piped into the infiltration chamber 72 it can drain away through the apertures 80 and into the surrounding soil.

INFLATABLE SPRAYHEAD

An inflatable sprayhead includes a main body made of an elastic material. The main body includes an inflatable portion and an output portion. The inflatable portion and the output portion are coupled. The inflatable portion has a first chamber inside, and the inflatable portion is changeable between an inflated state and an uninflated state by inflating or deflating the first chamber. The output portion has a second chamber and an output surface, which communicates with the second chamber. The main body includes an isolation portion that is located between the inflatable portion and the output portion, wherein the first chamber and the second chamber are separated by the isolation portion. Thus, when the main body is in the uninflated state, a volume of the main body could be reduced. Additionally, the main body that is foldable and flexible facilitates storage.

Regenerative stormwater conveyance system and method
20220056684 · 2022-02-24 ·

A regenerative stormwater conveyance (RSC) system for treating and dispersing stormwater runoff is disclosed which includes an upstream entry point where water enters the system and an entry pool downstream from the entry point that collects water from the entry point. The RSC system includes one or more shallow aquatic beds that receive water from the entry pool in a serial manner and each of which includes a filtration structure for filtering water from the aquatic bed. Riffle weir grade control structures are positioned between the aquatic beds and transition water overflowing from each upstream aquatic bed to a downstream aquatic bed. Accordingly, collected stormwater runoff traverses the series of aquatic beds and riffle weir grading structures and is treated and safely detained, thus, conveying stormwater to groundwater through infiltration.
