  • Patent number: 9429246
    Abstract: A faucet includes a faucet body, a switch unit and a monitoring device. The switch unit is coupled rotatably to the faucet body. The monitoring device is mounted to the switch unit and includes an angle detector, a microprocessor and an alert unit. The angle detector is for detecting angular rotation of the switch unit, and is for generating angle information. The microprocessor is for receiving the angle information, for recording a cumulative time period within which the switch unit is in an open state, and for calculating an outflow value accordingly. The microprocessor generates an alert signal for the alert unit upon determining that the outflow value has reached a predetermined threshold.

  • Patent number: 7607639
    Abstract: The present invention provides a rotary valve structure, which has a rotary water passage structure including a switching component and fixed hole. A first water-guide portion and second water-guide portion are placed laterally onto the switching component, whilst a first punch hole and second punch hole are placed separately onto the fixed hole. A coupling portion is placed between the first water-guide portion and second water-guide portion of the switching component. When the first water-guide portion and second water-guide portion of the switching component are placed opposite to the first punch hole and second punch hole of the fixed hole respectively, the first punch hole and second punch hole form a through-flow structure that prevents water from contacting the metal portions of the housing.

  • Patent number: 7360558
    Abstract: A control valve for a drinking water fountain includes a valve housing having an inside formed with a receiving chamber, and a valve seat mounted in the receiving chamber of the valve housing. The valve seat is forced into the receiving chamber of the valve housing by a rib and groove engagement so that the valve seat is secured in the receiving chamber of the valve housing. Thus, the valve seat is forced into the receiving chamber of the valve housing by a rib and groove engagement so that the valve seat is closely secured in the receiving chamber of the valve housing and cannot be rotated relative to the valve housing.
