Definitions
- the present invention patent refers to an electronic external adapter device, for use in conjunction with water taps for mechanical activation of dishwashers and sinks in the home or industry, which adds functionalities of cutting, activating, and changing water flow Cold, hot or both without contact.
- This device adapts to any type of drinking water tap with manual mechanical activation, whether single lever, mono-block etc. Providing this automatic functionality, without the need to replace the existing key, it has detection of intensive tasks to provide more activation time, it also has visual information to the user.
- the electronic external adapter device consists of a set of elements that are added to the key that you want to automate, the first element is a sensor box that is the visible part of the system and is responsible for censoring in real time when activate or cut off the water flow in addition to ordering all relevant actions.
- the electronic power box In second place is the electronic power box, the cable Energy data and the necessary solenoid valves that are installed at the bottom of the dishwasher or sink and are not visible to the end user.
- This device set presented in the invention allows external adaptation to the types of existing keys, not being necessary to replace the existing key exists. It allows to control the cutting and activation of cold, hot or warm water. It also incorporates electronic switching between them. They have an intelligent management of the activation time, for intensive water use tasks providing a greater activation time depending on the task and frequency detected. They have activity indicators led, to indicate to the user if cold or hot water is running or both and its events. They have rechargeable batteries so it works in the absence of the main power grid. They have interchangeable housing, for better aesthetics and adaptation to different places and environments.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
- the electronic external adapter device for use in conjunction with water valves for mechanical activation of dishwashers and sinks in the home or industry, which adds functionalities of cutting, activating, and changing flow of cold, hot water or both without contact.
- the power box (20) is installed in the lower part of the dishwasher or sink, this is responsible for providing power to the sensor box (1) that is installed on the wall where the key is installed and installed to A suitable distance for the user.
- the electrical energy for the system enters from the generic AC-DC adapter 12v to the power box (20) through the power cable (21) through the jack connector (22) this electrical energy is transferred to the dc- regulator dc step-down (23) by lowering the voltage to 5v and then entering this voltage to the charge controller (24) which is responsible for charging the lithium battery pack (25) to provide backup power to the system in case the main supply that enters through the power cable (21) fails.
- the output of the charge controller (24) is connected to the DC-DC step-up converter (26) that provides a voltage of 12V to power the mosfet controller (27 and 28) that are used to activate the solenoid valves (12 and 13) .
- this voltage reaches the microcontroller (29) through the data and power cable (2).
- the distance sensor (8) is connected to this microcontroller so that it is constantly evaluated if there is a hand or object in the range between 1 and 13 cm.
- this time is adjustable and can vary between 10 and 30 seconds if it produces a water cut because the time is automatically over and it is detected that it activates the distance sensor again in a time less than 5 seconds, the automatic cut-off time of that activation is doubled and so on until the time is multiplied by 4 Initial programming depending on the programming and need, this is to detect an intensive use of the water flow. On the other hand, if the next activation occurs in a time greater than 5 seconds, the default time returns to the minimum time in seconds programmed.
- the system automatically switches to control hot water, if the object remains another second it changes to control hot and cold water at the same time and if it remains longer the cycle repeats.
- the water flow will be activated for which the hot water indication was selected, when the red LED is turned on (7) constantly, the data is transmitted to the power box (20) by means of the voltage and data cable (2).
- the activation signal When the activation signal arrives at the power box, it activates the mosfets according to the case (27 and 28) which, by means of the power cables (18 and 19), send the activation voltage to the corresponding solenoid valve, either the solenoid valve (13) to control the flow of hot water or the solenoid valve (12) to control the flow of cold water when each solenoid valve is activated, it allows the water to pass to the tap (4) which must remain permanently open.
- the water that comes out of the solenoid valves reaches the tap (4) through the flexible (10) for cold water and the flexible (11) for hot water.
- the sensor box (1) also has an interchangeable housing (5) that is used to change the color or shape of the sensor box, according to the customer's requirement.
- the sensor box (1) also has a reset button (9) that can be pressed by the user and resets the system in case of any possible failure.
- the system indications are as follows, flashing only blue LED (6) indicates that the cold water control has been selected, and is waiting for activation. Flashing Red LED only (7) indicates that the hot water control has been selected and is waiting for activation. Flashing both LEDs (6 and 7) indicates that the hot and cold water control has been selected at the same time and is waiting for activation. Blue LED light (6) permanently active, indicates that the cold water flow is active and running. Red led light (7) permanently active, indicates that the hot water flow is active and running. LED light (6 and 7) permanently active, indicates that the flow of hot and cold water is active and in operation.
