A water-saving device structure is provided. When the pressure of an entry water is high, a water-barrier sheet body is pressed to cause a downwardly-moved elastic stopping portion to block a water-inflow opening of a water-outflow seat body, so that the water flow is conducted to a water-outflow opening through a water-conducting opening of the water-barrier sheet body. When the pressure of the entry water is low, the entry water is conducted to the water-outflow opening via one path traveling from the water-conducting opening of the water-bather sheet body to the water-outflow opening of the water-outflow seat body and the other path traveling along the clearances of stopping wall portions of the water-outflow seat body, a water-storage circular slot portion, the water-inflow openings of the water-outflow seat body and the water-outflow opening of the water-outflow seat body. Therefore, the outflow water with steady flow rate can be obtained.

Failsafe Water Saving Shower Head Apparatus and Method

Номер: US20190045980A1

Автор: Huei Meng Chang, Simon Siu-Chi Yu

Принадлежит: Individual

A fail-safe water saving shower enclosure system includes a showerhead, shower faucet, power adapter, an active infrared sensor, electromagnetic activated fluid valve and shower walls. The infrared sensor installed on one shower wall aims at the opposite shower wall that has the showerhead. The enclosure is electronically partitioned into a restrictive flow zone and free flow zones. When a bather is not present within the restrictive flow zone, the showerhead flows at a free flow rate set at the shower faucet. When the bather does not need water, he simply moves towards the restrictive flow zone. The sensor signals the normally open electromagnetic valve to shut off water from reaching the showerhead. The free flow of water resumes when the bather moves towards the showerhead. The showerhead always receives a full flow of water without the presence of a bather, despite a failure of the disclosed components or power loss.

The overflow mechanism comprises a first magnetic element arranged on a stem of the plug, and a second magnetic element integral with the head of the plug and in-between the base and the first magnetic element. In the raised position of the plug, corresponding to the raised position of the head, the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element are magnetically coupled. When a threshold value of the water pressure acting on the head is exceeded, the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element are automatically uncoupled, causing the descent of the head towards the lowered position, corresponding to the opening of the mouth of the sanitary fixture initially closed by the plug.
