The invention relates to a valve (1) for controlling the water flow in a sanitary line (2), comprising a housing (3) with a housing lower part (4) in which a water supply channel portion (6), a control channel (7), and a water discharge channel portion (8) are arranged in the flow direction. The control valve (1) additionally comprises a valve upper part (9) with a head piece (10), which is arranged in a housing bore (12) coaxially to the bore axis (13) and to which a stator disc (16) with a first ceramic surface (18) is secured, and with a spindle (11), with which a rotor disc (19) with a second ceramic surface (21) is in engagement. The control valve also comprises an electric drive (22) which is arranged in the housing upper part (5) and which is in engagement with the spindle (11). Two seals (23, 25) which rest against the head piece (10) and the spindle (11), respectively, seal the control channel (7) of the control valve (1) from a housing upper part (5). The head piece wall (15) comprises at least one window (27) which is arranged in the region of the control channel (7) and which lies opposite the water discharge channel portion (8) and extends towards a surface (24) of the housing bore (12), whereby a complete flush of the control channel (7) is ensured when the control valve (1) is open.

The present invention describes an apparatus (1) for water supply and sanitary purposes, e.g. for allowing purification and either recycling of water or discarding of water, wherein the apparatus (1) comprises an on/off unit (2) comprising a battery (3) and a transceiver (4), and wherein the on/off unit (2) is activable by pushing an on/off knob (5) of the on/off unit (2) rendering the transceiver (4) to transmit a wireless signal to a control system to turn the apparatus (1) on respective off. Furthermore, the present invention also relates to an apparatus (1) for water supply and sanitary purposes, wherein the apparatus (1) is a shower device (1) comprising a handheld shower unit (9) having a magnetic valve (8), and also comprising a holder unit (10) for holding the handheld shower unit (9) when not being used, wherein a magnet (11) is arranged in the holder unit (10) or the handheld shower unit (9), and wherein an activation sensor (12) is provided in the holder unit (10) or in the handheld shower unit (9) so that the magnetic valve (8) is turned into an open position when the handheld shower unit (9) is removed from the holder unit (10), and wherein the holder unit (10) holds the magnetic valve (8) in a closed position when the handheld shower unit (9) is held by the holder unit (10) and not being used. Moreover, the present invention is also related to a handheld shower unit (9) for an apparatus (1).

Verfahren zur Steuerung einer Sanitärarmatur (1) aufweisend zumindest die folgenden Schritte: a) Drücken einer Aktivierungstaste (2) der Sanitärarmatur (1) zum Aktivieren einer Funktionstaste (3) zum Starten einer Entnahme eines Heißwassers der Sanitärarmatur (1); b) Aktivieren der Funktionstaste (3), wenn die Aktivierungstaste (2) während Schritt a) mit einer ersten Bedienkraft gedrückt wird, die eine erste Mindestbedienkraft übersteigt, und wenn die Aktivierungstaste (2) während Schritt a) länger als eine erste Mindestdauer gedrückt wird; c) Drücken der Funktionstaste (3); d) Aktivieren der Entnahme des Heißwassers aus der Sanitärarmatur (1), wenn die Funktionstaste (2) in Schritt c) mit einer zweiten Bedienkraft gedrückt wird, die eine zweite Mindestbedienkraft übersteigt, und wenn die Funktionstaste (3) in Schritt c) länger als eine zweite Mindestdauer gedrückt wird. Zudem wird eine Sanitärarmatur mit einer entsprechenden Zweitastenbedienung vorgeschlagen.
摘要:
A user friendly multi-function shower control method, comprising following steps: providing a multi-function shower system; collecting by the multi-function shower system, identification data, health condition parameters, personal preferences of respective family members, and storing them into its storage module; assigning personal shower mode for each family member based on the collected information; scanning the data input by a user, and assigning corresponding shower mode automatically based on the input data. The method mentioned above is capable of providing showering experiences of various modes according to user's preference, such as elderly person shower mode, and children shower mode. The respective mode has its specific water temperature, water flow amount, light luminance, and music selection, while it is convenient to use. The user may design by himself a personality showering mode, or he may use a pre-set showering mode, in realizing a satisfying showering experience.
