Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de commande de baignoire à distance permettant de commander automatiquement le niveau d'eau, la température de l'eau et l'évacuation de l'eau à partir d'une distance éloignée. Le système de commande de baignoire à distance comprend une partie de pilotage de baignoire, une partie de commande de baignoire et une partie de commande à distance. La partie de pilotage de baignoire comprend un robinet d'alimentation, un robinet de décharge, un capteur de niveau d'eau et un régulateur de température de l'eau. La partie de commande de baignoire produit les signaux de commande de baignoire en fonction des signaux de réglage entrés à partir de la partie d'entrée au clavier. La partie de commande à distance, qui est reliée à la partie de commande de baignoire mais indépendamment de la partie de commande de baignoire, permet d'entrer les signaux de réglage à l'aide d'une télécommande sans fil, de l'Internet et d'un téléphone filaire ou sans fil à partir d'une distance éloignée et de recevoir les signaux de détection. Au moyen du système de commande de baignoire à distance susdécrit, un utilisateur peut définir les valeurs cibles du niveau et de la température de l'eau alimentée dans la baignoire et réguler automatiquement le niveau et la température de l'eau alimentée selon les valeurs cibles conformément aux signaux de réglage. Par conséquent, ledit système augmente la commodité d'utilisation et l'utilisateur peut voir directement les états de la partie de pilotage de baignoire à partir de la distance éloignée étant donné que les états de la partie de pilotage de baignoire sont affichés sur les terminaux de l'utilisateur.
