Definitions

  • the present specification refers, as its title indicates, to a system for the operation of taps or sanitary water controls by touch sensor and electronic push button, designed to promote the opening of both cold and hot water, or the mixture of both preset on the tap or mixer.
  • the sanitary water faucets and single lever actuation system has been devised by a touch sensor and electronic push button object of the present invention, when it comprises touch sensor that can remain insert anywhere in the tap or mixer, as well as located independently of them.
  • the aforementioned touch sensor is capable of sending the signal both by direct cable and wirelessly, which is picked up by a base that in turn transmits it to the appropriate mechanism, such as and among others, control relays, whose mission is to open or close the water passage valves, both cold and hot at the same time.
  • the tap or mixer provides the water according to the positioning of your control, in such a way that once the above control is positioned in cold or hot water, or a mixture of both, whenever the touch sensor is activated, we will have Desired water outlet.
  • command base may optionally incorporate a timer to send doses of water of a predetermined amount, or said base not to perform the water cut until the user does not send the cut signal through of the touch sensor.
  • the faucet or mixer is operative with the simple operation of manually positioning the open valves by means of its external control.
  • An optional solution of the present invention is to incorporate an electronic push-button in the tap or mixer, which, depending on the number of actions it receives, provides cold, mixed or hot water.
  • the present invention provides over the known means at present the essential advantage of saving considerable amounts of water, since it is to be taken into account that the flow can be opened and closed at will, or optionally timed out the output doses as needed, also assuming a advantage that the pass valves contain the appropriate manual control, which guarantees that the tap or mixer is enabled at all times.
  • Another advantage that is provided is the saving of hot water, which and consequently, represents an estimated energy saving.
  • Figure -1 schematically shows the system object of the invention that is recommended.
  • Figure -2- shows an optional solution of the present invention.
  • the invention presented incorporates as can be seen in the referenced figure a touch sensor (1), the location of which can be indistinctly in any part of the tap or mixer (2), or optionally at a point outside the said single lever
  • the signal emitted by said touch sensor (1) reaches the receiver-transmitter base (3) either by direct cable, such as by any of the existing wireless systems.
  • the receiver-transmitter base (3) either by direct cable, such as by any of the existing wireless systems.
  • an electronic push button (7), or a touch sensor (1) can be placed on the tap or mixer, which, according to the number of pulses received and according to the pre-established sequences, will send the appropriate order to the distributor center (8), so that it, in turn, orders the opening or closing of the passage valves (5), allowing the water to come out cold, mixed or hot. If necessary, the electronic device is canceled, acting on the manual controls.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de commande de robinets ou de monocommandes d'eau sanitaire au moyen d'un capteur tactile et d'un bouton électronique, permettant de faire couler ou de couper l'eau, ainsi que de réguler la température de l'eau. Ce système se caractérise par un capteur tactile, situé dans la monocommande ou à l'extérieur de celle-ci, émettant un signal vers une base d'émission-réception qui transmet l'ordre nécessaire aux électro-relais afin que ceux-ci agissent sur les soupapes d'arrêt. Dans un mode de réalisation optionnel de l'invention, le robinet ou monocommande est équipé d'un bouton électronique ou bien d'un capteur tactile qui, grâce aux commandes programmées sur le bouton, permet la sortie d'eau froide, mélangée ou chaude.
