Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for controlling the water inlet in a sanitary apparatus according to the preamble of independent claim 1 and a corresponding computer program product.
- Faucets are referred to as automatic valves, if the water flow of a washbasin faucet controlled by an external solenoid valve and the existing valve is only used for preselection of the mixing ratio and as a sensor.
- DE 196 51 132 also discloses an automatic fitting, which is equipped as a so-called proximity fitting with a sensor and a control device.
- the control device is a valve device or a valve battery connected, wherein the control means activates the valve device for water release after detecting a signal by the sensor device.
- the control means activates the valve device for water release after detecting a signal by the sensor device.
- a proximity fitting is off WO 93/10311 known.
- a proximity sensor detects a user's hand and releases the water supply. After the expiration of a time interval, a soap portion is dispensed and the washing process registered.
- Another automatic fitting is off DE 351 64 40 known.
- This arrangement with a field of monitoring buttons allows the contactless control of the inlet or the mixing ratio of hot and cold water.
- Each monitoring button interacting hierarchically with each other is assigned a fixed temperature and / or discharge quantity value.
- Another automatic fitting is off WO 02/29168 known. It is a device for controlling a medium flow with a sensor device for contactless determination of the presence and position of a hand of the user, wherein the sensor device detects an electrical charge shift.
- the disclosed detection system comprises an infrared transmitter (LED) and an infrared receiver (photodiode) and is based on the detection of the IR light reflected in the sensor.
- FR 2 706 504 discloses another electronic faucet controller including a presence detector, at least one electrovalve, and an electronic circuit that enables the presence detector to generate control signals that processes the response signal in accordance with the presence or absence detection and triggers the opening or closing of the solenoid valve 7.
- a pulsed active infrared sensor as well as comparing the detected IR light with a threshold is disclosed. Setting or changing a temperature and / or a flow value is not disclosed.
- the object of the present invention is to propose an alternative method for controlling the water supply in a sanitary repair with a cold water supply and a hot water supply, which allows a high control comfort even with very simple systems.
- the inventive method for controlling the water inlet into a sink or in a sanitary appliance on the advantage that the water temperature and / or the flow value can be changed even when the valve manifold is open.
- sanitary apparatus 1 shows a sanitary apparatus 1 according to a first embodiment, with a cold water supply line 2 and a hot water supply line 3 and with a valve connected to a power supply 4 valve battery 5 for opening or mixing the water inlet from these two water supply lines.
- sanitary repair should be understood as representative and synonymous for sinks, bathtubs, showers, sinks and the like.
- all statements made for washbasins refer to all other sanitary appliances such as bathtubs, showers, sinks and the like.
- a sensor unit 6 which is connected to a - preferably central - power supply.
- This power supply can optionally be designed as AC or DC mains, a battery or an accumulator.
- a DC bus network is especially preferred.
- the sensor unit 6 comprises at least one proximity sensor 7 with a detection area 8.
- the sensor unit 6 can be constructed on an optical, acoustic, capacitive, radar or inductive operating principle.
- a capacitive principle the operating principle referred to by the same Applicant as "DDSA principle” is mentioned, in which a sensor device comprises a first capacitor (C2), with a first and second electrically conductive surface and a dielectric layer.
- the DDSA sensor device comprises a conductive absorption surface conductively connected to the first surface of the first capacitor (C2), an AC generator (G), for coupling an AC signal (s1 (t)) to the absorption surface, and a sensor amplifier (A ) for amplifying an output signal (s2 (t)) which can be tapped on the second surface of the first capacitor (C2).
- the DDSA sensor device is designed so that the absorption surface on approaching an object forms an additional capacitor (C3), the effective capacitance is variable, and that the output signal (s2 (t)) through this effective capacitance undergoes a damping is detectable.
- the proximity sensor 7 of such a DDSA sensor device is preferably together with a faucet 14 installed in a sink 1, so that the faucet serves as an absorption surface.
- action signals 9, 9 ', 10, 10' are generated by penetration of the hands or other body parts into the detection area 8 or by one or more intrusions of the hands within a predetermined time grid into the detection area 8.
- the detection area also includes touching the proximity sensor 7 or a surface 23 operatively connected to the sensor unit 6.
- This action signal differs in potential and / or quality from a rest signal 12, which the proximity sensor 7 outputs without the action of a user on the detection area 8 to the controller 11 also connected to the power supply 4.
- the sleep signal may be pulsed, but preferred is a permanent sleep signal 12, which emits the sensor unit 6 to the electronic controller 11.
- the inventive method is characterized in that the controller 11, the valve battery 5 - by means of detecting and processing a certain number, triggered by a user action signals 9,9 ', 10,10'- in one of these number of action signals 9,9', 10, 10 'corresponding position brings, whereby cold water, hot water or mixed water of a predetermined temperature and / or with a predetermined flow value is introduced into the sink 1.
- Figure 2 shows a representation of signals of a proximity sensor 7, according to the inventive method. It is a schematic diagram in which the potential (p) of the output at the proximity sensor 7 is plotted as a function of time (t) for the exemplary variants AE. All action signals are shown here as potential changes and include - each starting from a rest potential 12 each an increase and a fall in the potential. As an alternative to this illustration and not claimed, the potential change of the action signal over a longer time (t 1 ), by leaving the hands in the detection area 8, stop, wherein the time duration of this potential change is evaluated as an action signal. In general, an action signal could also consist of a drop and a subsequent increase in potential.
- an individual time window 13 which is optionally assigned to each action signal 9,9 ', 10,10'. If a further action signal 9 ', 10' is triggered within such a time window 13, this situation is converted by the controller, which comprises a computer 25, into a command which causes the valve battery 5 to determine the temperature or the flow value of the water feed Washbasin 1 in relation to the number of further action signals 9 ', 10' to change. This change may be an increase or a decrease in water temperature and / or flow value.
- a corresponding computer program product for controlling the water supply loadable which is characterized in that it enables the controller 11 to detect certain number of these action signals 9,9 ', 10,10' or their time duration, which triggers a user to process and deliver corresponding control signals to the valve battery 5, which assumes a position corresponding to these control signals, whereby cold water, hot water or mixed water of a predetermined temperature and / or with a predetermined flow value is introduced into the sink 1.
- variable time interval 21 starts immediately after the end of the last individual time window 13 with the opening 19 of the valve battery 5.
- variable time interval 21 which is determined by the action signals 10,10 'and or by a predetermined time interval t 1 , may optionally then automatically a cold water rinse within a given Time interval done by only the cold water valve is opened.
- a cleaning mode is activated (not shown in Fig. 2).
- This controller 11 is specially designed for the use of sinks 1 in sports stadiums and public toilets as well as in technical and medical laboratories, medical practices and hospitals. It has been found that the present invention also in the private and public bathroom area (bathrooms, showers) and generally in the kitchen area is used. Thus, the individual time window 13 can vary from a few seconds to several minutes. Even shorter time windows of less than one second are conceivable.
- the water temperature may be limited to cold water or may include one to many hot water temperatures which may be gradually increased - e.g. in steps of +/- 5 ° C - can be adjusted. In any case, it is important that it is not possible to set a temperature that could cause injury to the user.
- FIG. 2 Selected operating examples are shown schematically in FIG. 2:
- a user triggers a first action signal 9 by approaching or touching the faucet 14, which in FIG. 1 functions as a surface 23 operatively connected to the sensor unit 6.
- the proximity sensor 7 sends a rest signal 12 to the controller.
- the valve battery 5 is opened. Because this controller 11 has received only an action signal 9, the valve battery 5 is instructed to let water flow into the water basin at a first temperature and / or a first flow rate (arrow 19 in FIG. 2).
- This first temperature may be cold water, hot water or a certain mixed value of cold and hot water.
- the controller 11 automatically stops the water supply at the end 22 of the variable time interval 21 by a closing command to the valve battery. 5

- this person triggers a further action signal 9 '.
- the valve battery 5 is opened (arrow 19 in FIG. 2). Because this controller 11 has received two action signals 9, 9 'in the first time interval, the valve battery 5 is instructed to let water flow into the water basin at a second temperature and / or a second flow rate. This second temperature may be higher or lower than a first temperature by a certain value (see case A).
- This person triggers within the variable time interval 21 another action signal 10, whereupon the controller 11 interrupts the water supply by a closing command to the valve battery 5 (arrow 20) and the time interval 21 ends.
- a person triggers a first action signal 9 by approaching or touching the faucet 14, which in FIG. 1 functions as a surface 23 operatively connected to the sensor unit 6.
- the proximity sensor 7 sends a rest signal 12 to the controller.
- this person triggers a further action signal 9 '.
- this person triggers a further action signal 9'. Since no further action signal takes place within the last individual time window 13, the valve battery 5 is opened (arrow 19 in FIG. 2).
- this controller 11 Because this controller 11 has received three action signals 9, 9 'in the first time interval, the valve battery 5 is instructed to let water flow into the pool of water at a third temperature and / or a third flow rate.
- This third temperature may be higher or lower by the same value as in case B than a second temperature. The same applies to a third flow value selected in the same way.
- This person triggers another action signal 10 within the variable time interval 21. Even within the individual time window 13 of this further action signal 10, this person triggers a further action signal 10 '.
- the controller 11 now instructs the valve battery 5 to let water flow into the water basin at a fourth temperature and / or a fourth flow rate.
- This fourth temperature may be higher or lower by the same value as in case B than a second temperature from the first one. The same applies to a fourth flow value selected in the same way.
- the controller 11 automatically stops the water supply at the end 22 of the variable time interval 21 by a closing command to the valve battery. 5
- the water temperature and / or the flow value during which the valve battery 5 was open was changed by a user.
- a person triggers an action signal 9 dependent on t 1 by approaching or touching a faucet 14 of the surface 23 which is operatively connected to the sensor unit 6 in FIG. 1, the water temperature and / or the flow rate being set by the time duration of t 1 becomes.
- the duration of t 1 may be indicated acoustically and / or visually during penetration into the detection area 8 and may be of different lengths (as indicated).
- the time duration t 1 preferably corresponds to one or a multiple of the time duration of a selected time unit. Accordingly, by activating the sensor 7 during t 1, the same is preferably effected as by a correspondingly repeated triggering of action signals 9, 9 '. Decisive here is the number of complete time units which, when combined, give approximately t 1 ; an opened time unit is not considered.
- the controller 11 automatically interrupts the water supply at the end 22 of the variable time interval 21 by a closing command to the valve battery. 5
