Definitions

  • the object of the invention is a shower arrangement installed in washing facilities, comprising a shower that is installed on the wall, a valve that controls the water inlet, and a sensor that perceives a person coming under the shower, the sensor adjusting the said valve through a control block.
  • the solution according to the invention can be utilised in shower structures installed in the washing facilities of both private households and public premises.
  • the user of the shower turns on the cold and hot water taps; the water coming from them is mixed in a water mixer and runs from the shower onto the person washing him/herself.
  • the cold and hot water taps are combined, whereby the temperature adjustment is effected by using one control lever and the intensity of the water inlet by another lever.
  • both the temperature control and the water inlet intensity control are combined in one control lever so that one control direction of the lever adjusts the temperature and another control direction adjusts the intensity of the water inlet.
  • One solution that is easier to use than the traditional solutions is a shower that works by a mechanical push-button, so that the person using the shower can start the shower by pushing the button once, and water will run from the shower for a predetermined period of time.
  • the mechanical push-button can be installed to be used either by hand or foot.
  • the mechanical push-button thus supplies water for a predetermined period of time, and the user cannot stop the water when he or she wants to. In addition, the water discharge does not stop automatically when the person leaves the shower. This results in unnecessary consumption of water. At present, there are new shower solutions that save water and are often based on photocell technology.
  • the shower solution according to Fig. 1 comprises shower 2 installed on wall 1, photocell sensor 3, valve 6, and control block 5 that controls valve 6.
  • infrared ray 4 of photocell sensor 3 perceives the person coming under shower 2, and passes a signal about this to control block 5.
  • Control block 5 opens valve 6 that controls the water inlet, and the water runs into shower 2 and, further, onto the person taking a shower.
  • infrared ray 4 perceives this, and passes a signal to control block 5 which closes valve 6 that controls the water inlet, and the water inlet of shower 2 is stopped.
  • valve 6 of the shower is open only when there is a person under shower 2. If shower 2 is not used often, there is frequently cold water in the pipe system; therefore, a weakness in this solution is that the first discharge of water comes directly onto user 2. Furthermore, when the user wants to stop the water inlet while he or she is applying soap, they must step out of shower 2 in order to stop the water inlet.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a shower solution installed in washing facilities, which solves the above-mentioned problems and corrects the defects.
  • the arrangement according to the invention comprises a position sensitive sensor, for example a PSD sensor, which recognises distances and for which at least two different distance fields have been defined; that is, a proximal field immediately in the vicinity of the sensor, and a remote field in the normal area of the user of the shower.
  • the control block is adapted to control the valve, on the one hand, on the basis of the user arriving in and leaving the remote field and, on the other hand, in the proximal field, for example by the movement of the user's hand, so that the user can switch the shower on or off temporarily, during showering, without leaving the actual area of the shower.
  • a shower arrangement according to the invention is characterized in that, which is stated in the characterizing part of the main independent claim.
  • control block intelligently controls the valve that adjusts the water inlet throughout the entire showering process.
  • Fig. 2 shows a shower solution implemented by a technology that is based on a position-sensitive sensor, according to the invention. It comprises shower 2 installed on wall 1, sensor 7, valve 6, and control block 10 that controls valve 6.
  • proximal field 8 is preferably at a distance of about 0 to 10 cm (d) from sensor 7 and, correspondingly, remote field 9 is preferably at a distance of about 10 to 80 cm (D) from PSD sensor 7.
  • proximal field 8 of sensor 7 is interpreted as the ON/OFF switch of valve 6 that controls the water inlet of shower 2 in control block 10 and, correspondingly, remote field 9 of sensor 7 is interpreted, by control block 10, as a conventional presence detector of a person taking a shower.
  • Sensor 7 detects the control commands that the person gives to proximal field 8 by hand, and transmits these messages to control block 10.
  • the detections of an object such as a hand in the proximal field are interpreted by the control block as ON/OFF commands, i.e. commands to cut the water flow when the valve is open, or to open the water flow when the valve is closed, whichever the case may be.
  • Control block 10 intelligently controls valve 6 that adjusts the water inlet throughout the whole showering process, as is described below.
  • Solenoid valve 6 for example, can be used as the valve 6 that controls the water inlet.
  • control block 10 controls the water discharge on the basis of the output signals of sensor 7.
  • sensor 7 detects an object within the range of the said proximal field 8
  • control block 10 changes the position of valve 6, whereby the user can alternately either start or stop the water inlet, for example, by swinging his or her hand in close proximity to sensor 7.
  • control block 10 controls valve 6 also on the basis of objects the sensor 7 detects in remote field 9.
  • control member 10 opens valve 6 upon detecting an object in proximal field 8 only, if sensor 7 also detects an object in remote field 9. If sensor 7 detects that the object in remote field 9 leaves remote field 9, control block 10 closes valve 6, if valve 6 is in its open position.
  • control member 10 opens valve 6 upon detecting an object in proximal field 8, although there is no object in remote field 9. In this type of situation, control member 10 closes valve 6 after a certain, predetermined time, if no object enters remote field 9.
  • a PSD sensor can be used as the position-sensitive sensor, for example.
  • the sensor in question is a commercially available PSD sensor (for example, Hamamatsu, type No. S5674).
  • a light-emitting diode that functions as transmitter S, and a light-sensitive line of diodes that functions as receiver R are placed in the same small space.
  • a ray of light leaving through lens L1 hits object T, and the point of impact is detected by receiver R through lens L2, more specifically so that the diode or diodes of receiver R in question are defined by the distance of the object.
  • the output signals of both the transmitting diode and the line of receiving diodes are taken to processor P via an amplifier.
  • the output signal of the processor is taken to control block 10 or, alternatively, the processor itself operates as the control block.
  • the invention is not limited to the use of the PSD sensor described above, but other position-sensitive sensors according to prior art can also be used as position-sensitive sensor 7.
  • Fig. 5 shows the functional flow diagram of the showering process implemented by one preferred embodiment of the invention.
  • the showering process is started 11 by opening 12 the tap of shower 2 by extending a hand in proximal field 8 of sensor 7.
  • the user of the shower can move 13 under the shower to remote field 9. If the user does not move to remote field 9 within a certain, predetermined time, control block 10 closes the water inlet.
  • Sensor 7 detects the user in remote field 9 and keeps the shower open during the time he gets wet and rinses 14.
  • the user wants to stop the water inlet of shower 2 to apply soap 16 he closes 15 the tap of shower 2, for example, by extending a hand in proximal field 8 of sensor 7.
  • the user can apply soap 16 without having to leave the range of remote field 9 of sensor 7.
  • the user reopens 17 the tap of shower 2, for example, by extending a hand in proximal field 8 of sensor 7.
  • Sensor 7 detects the user in remote field 9 and keeps the shower open during rinsing 18.
  • remote field 9 of sensor 7 detects this, whereupon the tap of shower 2 automatically closes 20 after a short while and the showering process ends 21.
  • Fig. 6 shows the functional time diagram of the showering process.
  • the function of remote field 9 of the position-sensitive sensor 7 is illustrated by graph 22.
  • the upper level of graph 22 shows the position of the person having a shower in the range of remote field 9 of sensor 7 and, correspondingly, the lower level illustrates the position of the person outside the range of remote field 9 of sensor 7.
  • graph 23 of the diagram illustrates the operation of proximal field 8 of sensor 7.
  • the upper level of graph 23 illustrates the position (of the hand) of the person taking a shower within the scope of proximal field 8 of sensor 7 and, correspondingly, the lower level illustrates the position of the user outside the scope of proximal field 8 of sensor 7.
  • Graph 24 of the diagram illustrates the operation of the tap of shower 2.
  • the upper level of graph 24 illustrates the open state of the tap of shower 2, and the lower level illustrates the closed state of the tap of shower 2.
  • time t is illustrated by graph 22, within which time the user has to step under the shower, i.e., to remote field 9 in order for conrol block 10 not to stop the water inlet.
  • processor P or a separate control block 10 is adjusted so that successive proximal field observations of the sensor alternately open and close the water inlet.
  • the shower arrangement is provided with a switch, a jumper wire, a certain control value in the memory of the control block, or some other control means that can be used to set the control block 10 to control the shower arrangement in a similar way as an ordinary ON/OFF shower arrangement provided with a photocell pick-off or other applicable sensor arrangement.
  • a selection can be made, for example, when installing the shower system or at the beginning of the washing process, as to whether the shower functions according to the inventive mode described above or according to the known technology, so that upon the sensor detecting an object in its range of perception, the control block starts the water inlet, and upon the object leaving the sensor's range of perception, the control block stops the water inlet.
  • the shower solution according to the invention saves water by decreasing waste discharge. It is extremely convenient to use and the shower solution can be used in shower structures installed in the washing facilities of both private households and public premises.
