Abstract: A method for controlling touchless operation of a faucet that includes turning on a sensor of the faucet in response to receiving a signal that a mechanical valve of the faucet is in an open position, wherein the mechanical valve is movable between the open position and a closed position; shifting an electronic valve of the faucet from a closed state, in which a fluid does not flow from the faucet, to an open state, in which the fluid is configured to flow from the faucet, in response to a first interruption of a field of detection of the sensor; and shifting the electronic valve to the closed state in response to a second interruption of the field of detection of the sensor, so long as the second interruption follows the first interruption within a predetermined period of time.

Abstract: A touchless faucet including a tubular spout having a curved portion including an inlet end through which a fluid flow enters the spout and an outlet end through which the fluid flow exits the spout. The outlet end is located forward and downward of an apex of the curved portion and the inlet end is located rearward and downward of the apex. The faucet also includes an electronic valve for controlling the fluid flow and a sensor disposed completely within the spout along an underside of the curved portion adjacent the apex. The sensor includes a transmitter for emitting a signal and a receiver for detecting an interruption of the signal within a detection zone that does not intersect with the fluid flow from the outlet end of the spout. The sensor communicates with the electronic valve to control the fluid flow when the interruption of the signal is detected.
Abstract translation: 一种无头龙头，其包括具有弯曲部分的管状喷嘴，所述弯曲部分包括入口端，流体流通过所述入口端流入所述喷口，所述出口端通过所述流出口离开所述喷口。 出口端位于弯曲部分的顶点的前方和下方，入口端位于顶点的后方和下方。 水龙头还包括用于控制流体流动的电子阀和沿邻近顶点的弯曲部分的下侧完全设置在喷口内的传感器。 传感器包括用于发射信号的发射器和用于检测检测区域内的信号的中断的接收器，该检测区域中的信号不与来自喷口的出口端的流体流相交。 当检测到信号的中断时，传感器与电子阀通信以控制流体流动。
