- interface device 15 comprises a number of rotary control knobs, each of which rotates about its axis into a number of angular positions, each corresponding to a command to select and activate one of the functions performed by sanitary fixture 1, and/or to regulate the characteristic parameters of the selected function.
- the control knobs of interface device 15 by turning the control knobs of interface device 15, the user can advantageously select, activate and regulate both the hydraulic and additional functions.
- Interface device 15 also comprises a display device 21 which, in use, as the user turns the control knobs, displays the selected and/or selectable function and the values assigned to the characteristic parameters of the function.
- interface device 15 comprises three rotary control knobs, which are located on the central wall 3 of sanitary fixture 1, are aligned in a preferably vertical direction and a predetermined distance apart, and rotate about respective parallel axes A, B and C.
- Display device 21 comprises three display rings 21a, each of which extends, on wall 3, about a respective control knob to display and/or indicate the command associated with the angular position assumed, at each instant, by the respective rotary control knob.
- interface device 15 comprises a first control knob 17 for selecting and activating each of the functions performable by sanitary fixture 1; and a second and third control knob 18 and 19 for regulating the characteristic parameters of the function selected using control knob 17.
- rotation of the top control knob 17 provides for selecting and turning on/off one of the hydraulic functions comprising water supply by the hand-shower or shower head or hydromassage, and the additional functions comprising sauna, sound broadcasting, aroma emission, and interior lighting.
- the second and third control knobs 18 and 19 each provide for regulating the characteristic parameters of the above functions. More specifically, when control knob 17 is set to select and activate the hydraulic function of water supply by hand-shower 5, manual rotation of control knobs 18 and 19 to the various angular positions provides for regulating the temperature and flow respectively of water supply by hand-shower 5. Similarly, when the hydraulic function of water supply by shower head 6 is selected, manual rotation of control knobs 18 and 19 provides for regulating the temperature and flow respectively of water supply by shower head 6. When control knob 17 is set to the angular position corresponding to selection of the hydraulic hydromassage function, rotation of control knobs 18 and 19 provides for regulating the temperature and flow respectively of water supply by nozzles, outlets and holes 7.
- control knobs 18 and 19 When the additional sauna function is selected, rotation of control knobs 18 and 19 provides for regulating the steam temperature parameter and sauna time parameter respectively.
- control knob 17 When control knob 17 is set to the angular position corresponding to selection of the additional sound function, rotation of control knobs 18 and 19 provides for selecting a piece of music or a radio station and for adjusting volume respectively.
- control knobs 18 and 19 When the additional aroma emission function is selected and activated, rotation of control knobs 18 and 19 provides for selecting the type of aroma and regulating the strength of the selected aroma respectively.
- control knob 17 When control knob 17 is set to the angular position corresponding to selection of the additional lighting function, rotation of control knobs 18 and 19 provides for selecting the colour and regulating the brightness of the light respectively.
- control knob 17 to select and activate a given function preferably produces a corresponding predetermined graphic configuration of display rings 21a surrounding control knobs 18 and 19, so as to provide the user with a display of the values assumed by the parameters of the selected function, as each control knob 18 or 19 is turned.
- each display ring 21a may comprise, for example, a circular or semicircular liquid crystal or LED display, and/or a dial or half-dial (e.g. a screen-printed dial or half-dial) resting on and covering the luminous face of the display, and which is appropriately backlighted by the LEDs as the control knob is turned.
- each control knob 17, 18, 19 preferably, though not necessarily, also acts as a control button to confirm the selected function and automatically set a predetermined parameter value.
- control knob 17 can also be pressed temporarily by the user along axis A to confirm and activate a previously selected function.
- each control knob 18, 19 can be pressed temporarily by the user along the respective axis to activate a procedure by which a predetermined value is automatically assigned to the corresponding parameter. For example, when first control knob 17 is set to select and activate the sauna function, temporary pressure on second control knob 18 automatically assigns a predetermined mean time to the sauna time parameter, and temporary pressure on third control knob 19 automatically assigns a predetermined mean temperature to the sauna temperature parameter.
- the values of the parameters characterizing each of the functions performed by sanitary fixture 1 may obviously also be assigned automatically in exactly the same way.
- interface device 15 also comprises a command control block 20 connected electrically and mechanically to control knobs 17, 18, 19 in known manner to translate the angular position of, and preferably pressure on, each control knob into an electric control signal S COM coding the above information.
- command control block 20 may be connected to control knobs 17-19 by a preferably "click-on" mechanical connection system enabling control knob 17-19 to be click-operated to activate the selected function or automatically assign the predetermined parameter value.
- Central control unit 16 is connected to command control block 20 to receive control signal S COM , and, depending on the information in control signal S COM , commands the graphic configuration of the display rings and controls devices 10-14.
- control knob 17 which displays the various selectable functions, each represented by a symbol, e.g. a graphic icon.
- interface device 15 is equipped with contact sensors (not shown) integrated in control knobs 17, 18, 19 to supply an output signal indicating user contact of a control knob.
- Function selection is made by the user turning control knob 17.
- control knob 17 As control knob 17 is turned, the corresponding display ring 21a indicates instant by instant, and by an increase in brightness level, the symbol of the function corresponding to the angular position of control knob 17; and, once control knob 17 is set to the angular position corresponding to the selected function, this is activated by the user clicking control knob 17.
- command control block 20 supplies signal S COM to central control unit 16, which activates the device corresponding to the selected function, and commands the graphic configuration of display rings 21a of control knobs 18 and 19 according to the parameters of the selected function. Once the device is activated, the symbol corresponding to the activated function lights up to a predetermined brightness.
- command control block 20 supplies signal S COM to central control unit 16, which regulates the parameters of the device corresponding to the selected function on the basis of the variation made by the user.
- central control unit 16 which regulates the parameters of the device corresponding to the selected function on the basis of the variation made by the user.
- the user may turn first control knob 17 again to activate other functions and regulate the relative parameters by means of control knobs 18 and 19.
- display ring 21a of control knob 17 indicates the symbols corresponding to the functions still active. It should be pointed out that a function is deactivated in exactly the same way in which it is activated, i.e. by turning control knob 17 to the angular position corresponding to the function to be deactivated, and then clicking control knob 17.
- Sanitary fixture 1 has various advantages.
- user interface device 15 of sanitary fixture 1 is extremely compact as compared with known user interface panels.
- second and third control knobs 18 and 19 the respective display rings 21a, on the basis of the function selected by first control knob 17, the external user interface is simplified by using only three control knobs, as opposed to a control keyboard with an extremely large number of keys. Simplifying the user interface in this way obviously has the big advantage of completely eliminating the control keyboard, and enabling the user to select both the hydraulic and additional functions by simply turning the control knobs.
- user interface device 15 comprises one control knob 23, by which the user imparts the same commands to sanitary fixture 1 as those described above relative to the three knobs 17-19; and one command display ring 23a.
- control knob 23 is movable axially into three axial positions corresponding to three respective selection planes : a first axial position P1 corresponds to a function selection plane, and a second and third axial position P2 and P3 each correspond to a respective selection plane relative to commands to assign values to the characteristic parameters of the selected function.
- display device 21 comprises a preferably, though not necessarily, rectangular display located next to, and for displaying the commands selected by, control knobs 17, 18, 19.
