- No se derrocha agua pues el usuario abre y cierra el paso a voluntad con la rodilla, sin importar que tenga las manos ocupadas o no.- No water is wasted because the user opens and closes the step at will with the knee, regardless of whether his hands are occupied or not.
La aplicacion industrial de esta invencion se halla en el sector de los sistemas y aplicaciones de electrovalvulas, y mas concretamente dispositivos y electrovalvulas para ahorro de agua.The industrial application of this invention is found in the field of systems and applications of electrovalves, and more specifically devices and electrovalves for water saving.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIONBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Aunque no se ha encontrado ninguna invencion identica a la descrita, exponemos a continuacion los documentos encontrados que reflejan el estado de la tecnica relacionado con la misma.Although no invention identical to that described has been found, we expose below the documents found that reflect the state of the art related thereto.
Asf el documento ES0437467A1 hace referencia a un dispositivo de irrigacion por goteo, para la dosificacion de un fluido procedente de un sistema de irrigacion, a una velocidad determinada, caracterizado por comprender un cuerpo emisor tubular conico que tiene, un orificio en su pared para permitir que pase lfquido hacia afuera a traves del mismo, desde la parte interna de dicho cuerpo emisor conico y, como mmimo, una ranura longitudinal en su pared externa que se extiende sustancialmente en la longitud del cuerpo del emisor y al extremo cerrado del mismo, existiendo ademas una caperuza tubular del emisor fijada con capacidad de desmontaje al cuerpo emisor conico para recibir el lfquido procedente de dicho cuerpo emisor y conjuntamente con la ranura del mismo, proporciona un paso de restriccion de volumen. El documento citado, pese a describir un dispositivo de irrigacion por goteo, que permite el ahorro de agua, no guarda relacion alguna con la forma en que el dipositivo objeto de la presente invencion realiza su funcion.Thus document ES0437467A1 refers to a drip irrigation device for the dosing of a fluid from an irrigation system, at a determined speed, characterized by comprising a conical tubular emitter body having a hole in its wall to allow that it passes liquid out through it, from the internal part of said conical emitter body and, at the very least, a longitudinal groove in its external wall that extends substantially in the length of the body of the emitter and to the closed end thereof, there also being a tubular cap of the emitter fixed with disassembly capacity to the conical emitter body to receive the liquid from said emitter body and together with the slot thereof, provides a volume restriction step. The cited document, despite describing a drip irrigation device, which allows saving water, bears no relationship whatsoever with the way in which the device object of the present invention performs its function.
ES1068770U describe un economizador de agua y energfa, aplicable a grifos, duchas y en general elementos con salida de agua caliente y salida de agua fna; proviniendo el agua caliente de una salida de agua caliente de una caldera, calentador o analogo y el agua fna de una conduccion de red de que tambien alimenta a la caldera o analogo; que en proximidad de cada grifo, ducha o elemento similar al que se quiera aplicar el economizador se intercala en sus tomas de agua un circuito economizador que presenta: - Una entrada de agua fna de red conectada con una salida de agua fna hacia el grifo o similar a traves de una electrovalvula de agua fna; - una entrada de agua caliente proveniente de la caldera o analogo conectada con una salida de agua caliente hacia el grifo o similar a traves de un detector de caudal, un detector de temperatura y una electrovalvula de agua caliente conectados en serie; -presentando ademas la referida electrovalvula de agua caliente una salida a circuito de retorno que conecta con una conduccion de agua de retorno unida en proximidad de la caldera o analogo a su toma de agua fna; - existiendo en proximidad de la conexion de la conduccion de agua de retorno con la toma de agua fna de la caldera o analogo respectivas valvulas anti-retorno, y disponiendo dicha conduccion de agua de retorno de una bomba de impulsion; de manera que cuando se solicita agua caliente del grifo o similar el detector de caudal detecta paso de agua activando al detector de temperatura para que haga lectura de la temperatura del agua y si esta no es suficientemente caliente cierra las electrovalvulas enviando el agua por la salida de retorno hacia la caldera o analogo; y de manera que en el momento en que el detector de temperatura detecta que la temperatura de agua caliente es la deseada acciona la electrovalvula de agua caliente para permitir el paso de agua caliente por la salida de agua caliente, y la electrovalvula de agua fna para posibilitar el paso de agua fna por la salida de agua fna, al tiempo que se desconecta la bomba de impulsion. El economizador descrito en el citado documento recoge un sistema de electrovalvulas con sistema de retorno de agua hacia la caldera, convirtiendolo en un sistema mucho mas complejo que el que propone la invencion principal.ES1068770U describes an economizer of water and energy, applicable to faucets, showers and in general elements with hot water outlet and fna water outlet; the hot water coming from a hot water outlet from a boiler, heater or similar and the water from a network conduction that also feeds the boiler or similar; that in close proximity to each faucet, shower or similar element to which the economiser is to be applied, an economizer circuit is inserted in its water intakes, which has: - A mains water inlet connected with a cold water outlet to the faucet or similar through a fna water electrovalve; - a hot water inlet from the boiler or analog connected to a hot water outlet to the tap or the like through a flow detector, a temperature sensor and a hot water electrovalve connected in series; - the said hot water electrovalve also presenting a return circuit outlet that connects with a return water line connected in the vicinity of the boiler or analogous to its fna water intake; - existing in the vicinity of the connection of the return water supply with the fina water inlet of the boiler or the respective anti-return valves, and said return water supply of an impulse pump; so that when hot water is requested from the tap or similar, the flow detector detects the passage of water activating the temperature detector to read the water temperature and if it is not hot enough it closes the electrovalves sending water through the outlet of return to the boiler or analogue; and so that at the moment when the temperature detector detects that the hot water temperature is the desired it activates the hot water electrovalve to allow hot water to pass through the hot water outlet, and the cold water solenoid valve to allow the flow of cold water through the cold water outlet, while the impulse pump is switched off. The economizer described in the aforementioned document includes a system of electrovalves with a water return system to the boiler, making it a much more complex system than the one proposed by the main invention.
ES0045639U propone un difusor para grifos perfeccionado, constituido por un cuerpo sensiblemente tronco-conico, -de material impermeable, elastico y flexible-, en el que se distinguen interna y externamente tres zonas bien diferenciadas, estando constituida la central por unas depresiones y resaltes anulares que se corresponden externa e internamente, formando una seccion sinuosa que proporciona un gran aumento de la flexibilidad natural; la mas proxima a la base menor lisa, con un cajeado interior en el que se aloja una pieza ngida con perforaciones paralelas al eje, destinada a dividir la vena lfquida; y presentando la zona mas proxima a la base mayor una parte lisa comprendida entre dos resalles anulares y que internamente lleva unos tabiquillos discoidales perforados en su centro, destinados a fijar al grifo el dispositivo por la simple y firme presion que proporciona la elasticidad del material haciendo que los citados tabiquillos discoidales adopten una posicion oblicua al eje. El difusor descrito no incorpora ninguna caractenstica con la que se pueda comparar el dispositivo de ahorro de agua objeto de la invencion principal.ES0045639U proposes an improved diffuser for taps, constituted by a sensibly trunk-conical body, -of waterproof, elastic and flexible material-, in which three well-differentiated zones are distinguished internally and externally, the central being constituted by some annular depressions and projections that correspond externally and internally, forming a sinuous section that provides a great increase in natural flexibility; the one closest to the smooth lower base, with an internal recess in which a rigid part is housed with perforations parallel to the axis, intended to divide the liquid vein; and the area closest to the base presents a smooth part comprised between two annular grooves and internally has discoidal perforated tabiquillos in its center, destined to fix the device to the tap by the simple and firm pressure that the elasticity of the material provides. that the said discoidal tabiquillos adopt an oblique position to the axis. The diffuser described does not incorporate any feature with which the water saving device object of the main invention can be compared.
ES1076340U se refiere a un grifo monomando que ahorra agua y energfa, en el que el giro del encaje de la maneta de un grifo monomando en el sentido correcto, de tal manera que la maneta del grifo monomando quede centrada con el cano del grifo, o el eje longitudinal de la maneta quede perpendicular al usuario de tal manera que en esa posicion se produzca la vfa de agua fna, que un giro hacia la izquierda, desde la posicion anterior sea el estado susceptible de agua mezcla o templada, y que el giro total hacia la izquierda sea la posicion susceptible de caliente. En este caso, aunque sf se hace alusion al ahorro de agua, no comprende ninguno de los elementos no configuracion que se describe en la invencion principal. ES1076340U refers to a single-lever faucet that saves water and energy, in which the rotation of the lever fitting of a single-lever faucet in the correct direction, so that the lever of the single-lever faucet is centered with the faucet canopy, or the longitudinal axis of the lever is perpendicular to the user in such a way that in this position the water path fna is produced, that a turn to the left, from the previous position is the state susceptible of mixed or tempered water, and that the rotation total to the left is the position susceptible to hot. In this case, although there is an allusion to saving water, it does not comprise any of the non-configuration elements described in the main invention.
Conclusiones: Como se desprende de la investigacion realizada, ninguno de los documentos encontrados soluciona los problemas planteados como lo hace la invencion propuesta.Conclusions: As can be seen from the research carried out, none of the documents found solve the problems raised as the proposed invention does.
DESCRIPCION DE LA INVENCIONDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
El dispositivo de ahorro de agua en grifos objeto de la presente invencion se constituye a partir de un circuito formado por dos electrovalvulas y un microinterruptor que las acciona, y una pequena fuente de alimentacion o un adaptador de corriente de red domesticaThe water saving device in taps object of the present invention is constituted from a circuit formed by two electrovalves and a microswitch that drives them, and a small power supply or a domestic mains power adapter
Cada electrovalvula se coloca en la toma de la pared del agua caliente y fna respectivamente, y el microinterruptor que las activa queda instalado en el marco de la puerta de debajo del fregadero, de forma que al estar cerrada dicha puerta no sea actuado, pero cuando se realiza una ligera presion con la rodilla sf sea actuado y da paso de corriente a las dos electrovalvulas.Each solenoid valve is placed in the wall socket of the hot and cold water, respectively, and the microswitch that activates them is installed in the door frame under the sink, so that when the door is closed it will not be actuated, but when a slight pressure is made with the knee if it is actuated and gives current to the two electrovalves.
El grifo, por tanto, queda siempre abierto y en la posicion que mas convenga al usuario, ya sea agua totalmente fna, intermedias o totalmente caliente, pues solo sale agua cuando se acciona el dispositivo con la rodilla, teniendo las manos libres y pudiendo accionar o parar el chorro a voluntad.The tap, therefore, is always open and in the position that suits the user, whether it is totally cold water, intermediate or totally hot, because only water comes out when the device is operated with the knee, having free hands and being able to operate or stop the jet at will.
El accionamiento, en los casos en que el fregadero no disponga de una puerta sino de un cajon, podna adaptarse para el mismo, incluso instalar el microinterruptor tras el zocalo o rodapie de la cocina.The drive, in cases where the sink does not have a door but a drawer, could adapt for it, even install the microswitch behind the skirting or skirting of the kitchen.
