Showerhead Attachment for Controlling the Flow and Temperature of Water

摘要

A showerhead attachment for controlling the flow and temperature of water is a device that is utilized to minimize water waste and the risk of being scalded by hot water when showering. Water from a faucet or similar water source enters a casing through an inlet and exits through an outlet. A valve is positioned within a flow tube that connects the inlet and the outlet within the casing. The valve is utilized to automatically enable and disable water flow as well as to regulate the flowrate of the water. A proximity sensor detects a user's presence in the proximity of the device and water flow is disabled if the user is not detected to minimize waste. A temperature sensor is able to detect if water is too hot and water flow is automatically disabled if the water temperature is deemed unsafe.

主权项

1. A showerhead attachment for controlling the flow and temperature of water comprises:
a casing; a flow tube; a temperature sensor; a valve; a proximity sensor; a control unit; the casing comprises an inlet and an outlet; the inlet and the outlet being positioned opposite to each other on the casing; the flow tube traversing through the casing from the inlet to the outlet; the inlet being in fluid communication with the outlet through the flow tube; the temperature sensor being positioned within the flow tube, adjacent to the inlet; the valve being positioned within the flow tube, in between the inlet and the outlet; the proximity sensor being externally positioned on the casing; the proximity sensor being oriented away from the inlet; and the temperature sensor, the proximity sensor, and the valve being electronically connected to the control unit.
