JPS5828076A - Automatic tap for water supply - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To permit remote control of opening and closing operation of a main tap for water supply far away from the top edge of a hose by installing a receiver of the valve operating signal onto the water flow control valve and transmitting the valve operating signal from a seaprately installed transmitter. CONSTITUTION:A valve device 6 is installed on the way of the hose 23 installed on a faucet 22. An antenna 7, a signal receiver, solenoid valve, and batteries are incorporated into the valve device, 6. On the other hand, an operating switch 24, a transmitter, an antenna 4, and batteries are incorporated into the operating device 1. Start and stop of water supply can be controlled freely when an operator positioned at the tip of hose operates the operating apparatus 1 on his hand to operate the valve device 6 positioned far away.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an automatic faucet that is convenient for supplying water at a location away from the faucet using a long hose, such as when sprinkling water or washing a car.

Conventionally, there was no device of this type that could be remotely controlled using a general hose. This is because there are some problems with how to handle the lead wires for remote control, how to extend the hoses, etc. :).

The present invention solves all of these difficulties, and examples thereof will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In FIG. 1, 1 is an operating device, which includes an operating switch 2,
A transmitter 3 that converts the signal from the operation switch 2 into radio waves and sends them out; and an antenna 4 that emits radio waves. and a battery 5 supplying current to the operation (+111).

6 is a valve device, and antenna 7 receives incoming radio waves.
It consists of a receiver 8 that receives radio waves and takes out signals, a solenoid pulp 9 that is driven by the receiver 8 to control water flow, and a battery 10 that supplies current to the pulp side.

FIG. 2 shows another embodiment, in which reference numeral 11 denotes an operating device, which includes an operating switch 12, a transmitter 13 that processes the signal, a light-emitting element 14 that converts the processed signal into light, and an operating device. 11 and a battery 15 that supplies current.

Reference numeral 16 denotes a valve device, which includes a light receiving element 17 that receives a transmitted optical signal, a receiver 18 that processes the received optical signal, a motor 19 that is driven by the receiver 18, and a water flow that is linked to the motor 19. Pulp to control20. and valve device 1
6 and a battery 21 that supplies current.

Next, we will explain an example of how to use Figure 3.
Although the case shown in the figure is shown, the case of FIG. 2 is also similar. The pulp device 6 is attached in the middle of a hose 23 that is not attached to a faucet 22. On the other hand, the operation device 1 includes an operation switch 24.
, hold the end of the hose 23 and press the operation switch 24.
By operating the pulp 9 in the pulp device 6, the water flow is controlled. Note that in this case, the faucet 22 is open.

As is clear from the above examples, since the automatic faucet of the present invention is remotely operated, the water flow can be controlled by one person, and since no lead wire is used, the hose can be extended. It has excellent effects such as no need to use a special hose.
