Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Wasserarmatursystem mit einem Wasserbehälter (1), einer elektrischen Steuereinheit (2), einer Bedieneinheit (3), einem Frischwasserventil (4), einer oder mehreren Wassereinlassöffnungen (5a-d) des Wasserbehälters (1), einem Wasserauslassventil (6) des Wasserbehälters (1), wobei die Bedieneinheit (3) mit der elektrischen Steuereinheit (2) signaltechnisch gekoppelt ist, wobei die elektrische Steuereinheit (2) mit dem Frischwasserventil (4) einerseits und mit dem Wasserauslassventil (6) andererseits steuerungstechnisch gekoppelt ist und wobei das Frischwasserventil (4) über mindestens ein Zuführrohr (7a-c) mit mindestens einer der Wassereinlassöffnungen (5a-d), vorzugsweise mit jeder der Wassereinlassöffnungen (5a-d), verbunden ist. Die Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die elektrische Steuereinheit (2) einen Datenspeicher (8) für eine Kalibrierinformation aufweist, welche ein Durchflussverhalten des Frischwasserventils (4) zu einem Ausflussverhalten des Wasserauslassventils (6) in Beziehung setzt, und dass die elektrische Steuereinheit (2) dazu eingerichtet ist, das Frischwasserventil (4) und das Wasserauslassventil (6) basierend auf der Kalibrierinformation so anzusteuern, dass ein Füllstand (9) des Wasserbehälters (1) auf einen vorbestimmten Verlauf eingestellt wird. Die Erfindung betrifft ferner ein Verfahren zur Kalibrierung eines solchen Wasserarmatursystems, ein Verfahren zur Regelung eines solchen Wasserarmatursystems und ein Computerprogramm mit Programmcode zur Durchführung eines dieser Verfahren.

The invention relates to a water fitting system comprising a water tank (1), an electrical control unit (2), an operating unit (3), a fresh water valve (4), one or more water inlet openings (5a-d) of the water tank (1), a water outlet valve (6 ) of the water tank (1), wherein the control unit (3) with the electrical control unit (2) is technically coupled, wherein the electrical control unit (2) with the fresh water valve (4) on the one hand and with the water outlet valve (6) on the other hand control technology coupled and wherein the fresh water valve (4) is connected via at least one feed pipe (7a-c) to at least one of the water inlet openings (5a-d), preferably to each of the water inlet openings (5a-d). The invention is characterized in that the electrical control unit (2) has a data memory (8) for calibration information which relates a flow behavior of the fresh water valve (4) to an outflow behavior of the water outlet valve (6), and in that the electrical control unit (2 ) is adapted to control the fresh water valve (4) and the water outlet valve (6) based on the calibration information so that a level (9) of the water tank (1) is set to a predetermined course. The invention further relates to a method for calibrating such a water fitting system, a method for controlling such a water fitting system and a computer program with program code for carrying out one of these methods.
