Definitions
- the invention relates to a water valve control with one, at least one transmitter and one receiver containing detection device with which the presence of a user is detected, with evaluation electronics is provided with an intensity selective Evaluation of that from the detection device generated detection signal takes place, with a certain intensity level to the controller of that Normal or work mode in which the water flow is controlled depending on the user, in a programming mode or special mode.
- the invention has for its object the setting to further simplify water valve control.
- controller is provided with a timer which, at the determined intensity level after a period of time t, switches the control from normal mode to a switchover mode or special mode, the required intensity level being defined in such a way that it changes from one to the other Object placed near the detection device, such as a hand of the user, is reached.
- the water outlet fitting 5 is with connected to one or more water supply pipes - not shown in the drawing -, wherein the water outlet from one, preferably in the water outlet fitting integrated valve with an electronic Control and a detection device 1 determined becomes.
- the valve opens, one occurs Mouthpiece 50 a jet of water.
- the detection device 1 is designed so that during detection of a body, e.g. a hand of the user with a distance just before the outlet mouthpiece 50 of the Water outflow of the water outlet fitting 5 activated becomes.
- the detection device 1 has one Transmitter 2, which preferably emits infrared light, and a receiver 3 which is from a body or infrared light reflected from a user's hand picks up and generates a signal that is fed to the controller which, after an evaluation process, the required water flow is caused.
- This switching distance for activating the valve corresponds a defined reception level of the receiver.
- Appropriate hierarchical nesting of adjustment modes (e.g. the three phases above are not used to change the run-on time, but to select another three setting modes), almost any number of special functions can be selected or system parameters can be set. Each special function can in turn contain further setting functions.
- the user can be informed about a current hierarchy level and / or adjustment function by means of corresponding, characteristic signaling (interactive system parameterization).
- a "virtual" push-button switch can thus be implemented, by means of which different programs of the valve control can be activated via impulses (exceeding a certain intensity level for a defined period of time) or impulse groups (initially exceeding them and then falling below the certain intensity level).
- control can also be achieved, for example, by correlating different time windows during which the specific intensity level must be present with different functions. If, for example, the specific intensity level is reached or exceeded for a period of time t 1 with t 1min ⁇ t 1 ⁇ t 1max , function 1 is activated after the switchover level is undershot. If the switchover level is present for a period of time t 2 with t 1max ⁇ t 2 ⁇ t 2max , then function 2 is subsequently activated, etc. It is also advantageous here if the control, after it has been brought into the switchover mode by maintaining the switchover level for the minimum duration , the user through signaling, e.g. B. flashing signals or acoustic signals, which are repeated periodically at short intervals, a choice of several functions that can be assigned to the signals are offered, which the latter can then select by re-initiating the required intensity level during the corresponding signal.
- signaling e.g. B. flashing signals or acoustic signals
- the rinsing device described above is about a battery supplied with electrical energy.
