SHOWER HEAD WATER REGULATOR

摘要

According to an embodiment, a showerhead for automatically regulating water flow is provided. The showerhead comprises a range sensor, a solenoid, and a microprocessor. The range sensor is configured to detect the presence or absence of a person near the showerhead and to generate a range signal. The microprocessor is configured to receive the range signal and to determine a person's typical distance from the showerhead when rinsing. Further, based on the range signal, the microprocessor is configured to send an open signal to the solenoid valve when the person is within the typical distance and to send a close signal to the solenoid valve when the person is outside of the typical distance. The solenoid valve is configured to be opened and closed by the respective open or close signals to respectively turn on or off the flow of water based on the person's position relative to the showerhead.
