Description
本新型有關於一種控制裝置，特別有關於一種淋浴設備的控制裝置。The present invention relates to a control device, and more particularly to a control device for a shower device.
一般來說，在衛浴設備的用水供應上，通常利用雙閥控水龍頭或單槍混合水龍頭作為冷、熱水的混合調溫，以供應合適的水溫，再搭配蓮篷頭提供淋浴的用水需求。Generally speaking, in the water supply of sanitary equipment, a double valve-controlled faucet or a single-gun mixing faucet is usually used as a mixed temperature regulation of cold and hot water to supply a suitable water temperature, and then the water demand for the shower is provided with a shower head. .
對於水溫的調整來說，無論是採用雙閥控水龍頭，或是單槍混合水龍頭，都無法一次將水溫調整到合適的溫度，而必須經過不斷的溫度測試及調整，才能取得合適的溫度，如此相當不便且十分耗時。另外，隨著水龍頭的出水時間及流量增加，熱水的溫度亦會隨著冷水的注入而降低，導致出水的水溫下降而過冷，則使用者必須再調整冷、熱水的比例，如此反覆的對冷、熱水的比例進行調整，而使得水溫忽冷忽熱而造成使用上的不適。For the adjustment of water temperature, whether it is a double valve control faucet or a single gun mixing faucet, it is impossible to adjust the water temperature to a suitable temperature at one time, and it is necessary to undergo constant temperature testing and adjustment to obtain a suitable temperature. This is quite inconvenient and time consuming. In addition, as the effluent time and flow rate of the faucet increase, the temperature of the hot water will also decrease with the injection of cold water, causing the water temperature of the effluent to drop and become too cold, and the user must adjust the ratio of cold and hot water. Repeatedly adjust the ratio of cold and hot water, so that the water temperature is hot and cold and causes discomfort in use.
此外，由於上述出水溫度及出水量的調整，必須由使用者以手動方式不斷旋轉配置於水龍頭的旋鈕，以調整冷、熱水的混合比例及出水量，如此將會造成使用上的不便利性。因此，如可設計一種具多樣化功能的觸控裝置，並可易於操控以及精確控制出水溫度及出水量，以提升使用便利性及安全性，將成為業者所需進行研發的課題。In addition, due to the adjustment of the above-mentioned water outlet temperature and the amount of water discharged, the user must manually rotate the knob disposed on the faucet to adjust the mixing ratio of the cold and hot water and the amount of water discharged, which will cause inconvenience in use. . Therefore, if a touch device with a variety of functions can be designed, and the temperature and water output of the water can be easily controlled and accurately controlled, the convenience and safety of use can be improved, and the problem of research and development required by the industry will become a problem.
鑒於以上的問題，本新型在於提供一種淋浴設備的控制裝置，藉以快速地選擇及調整出水量、出水溫度及出水位置，以增加使用的便利性。In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a control device for a shower device, whereby a water quantity, an outlet water temperature, and a water discharge position are quickly selected and adjusted to increase the convenience of use.

The outlet temperature. That is to say, each time the user presses the “increase temperature” touch area 111 on the touch unit 110 once, the control unit 120 increases the water outlet temperature of the shower device 180 by one degree.
當使用者按壓觸控單元110的觸控區域111為“減少溫度”時，控制單元120會對應產生例如減少1度的控制訊號，以控制淋浴設備180提供對應此“減少溫度”的出水溫度。也就是說，使用者每按壓觸控單元110上之“減少溫度”的觸控區域111一次，則控制單元120會將淋浴設備180的出水溫度減少1度。When the user presses the touch area 111 of the touch unit 110 to “reduce the temperature”, the control unit 120 correspondingly generates a control signal that is reduced by, for example, 1 degree to control the shower device 180 to provide an outlet temperature corresponding to the “reduced temperature”. That is to say, each time the user presses the "reduced temperature" touch area 111 on the touch unit 110 once, the control unit 120 reduces the water discharge temperature of the shower device 180 by one degree.
在一實施例中，前述出水溫度的增加或減少以每次1度的預設溫度差值為例來說明，但本新型不限於此，前述預設溫度差值亦可視使用者的需求自行調整，並預先設定於淋浴設備的控制裝置100內。在另一實施例中，基於人體普遍可明顯感受到的溫度變化，前述預設溫度差值例如可為4度。In an embodiment, the increase or decrease of the water temperature is illustrated by using a preset temperature difference of 1 degree each time, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the preset temperature difference may be adjusted according to the user's needs. And preset in the control device 100 of the shower device. In another embodiment, the aforementioned predetermined temperature difference may be, for example, 4 degrees based on a temperature change that is generally perceived by the human body.
當使用者按壓觸控單元110的觸控區域111為“水量調整”時，控制單元120對應產生水量控制訊號，以控制淋浴設備180提供相應控制訊號的出水量。進一步來說，當使用者按壓觸控單元110的觸控區域111為“增加水量”時，控制單元120會對應產生例如增加一預設流量的控制訊號，以控制淋浴設備180提供對應此控制訊號的出水量。也就是說，使用者每按壓觸控單元110上之“增加水量”的觸控區域111一次，則控制單元120會將淋浴設備180的出水量增加前述的預設流量。When the user presses the touch area 111 of the touch unit 110 to “water quantity adjustment”, the control unit 120 generates a water quantity control signal to control the shower device 180 to provide the water output amount of the corresponding control signal. Further, when the touch area 111 of the touch unit 110 is pressed to increase the amount of water, the control unit 120 generates a control signal for increasing a preset flow rate, for example, to control the shower device 180 to provide the corresponding control signal. The amount of water. That is to say, each time the user presses the touch area 111 of “adding water amount” on the touch unit 110 once, the control unit 120 increases the water discharge amount of the shower device 180 by the aforementioned preset flow rate.
當使用者按壓觸控單元110的觸控區域111為“減少水量”時，控制單元120會對應產生例如減少一預設流量的控制訊號，以調整淋浴設備180的出水量。也就是說，使用者每按壓觸控單元110上之“減少水量”的觸控區域111一次，則控制單元120會將淋浴設 備180的出水量減少前述的預設流量。When the touch area 111 of the touch unit 110 is pressed to reduce the amount of water, the control unit 120 generates a control signal for reducing a predetermined flow rate, for example, to adjust the water output of the shower device 180. That is to say, each time the user presses the touch area 111 of the “reduced water amount” on the touch unit 110 once, the control unit 120 sets the shower. The amount of water discharged from the standby 180 is reduced by the aforementioned preset flow rate.
當使用者按壓觸控單元110的觸控區域111分別為“小流量”、“中等流量”或“大流量”時，控制單元120會對應產生前述流量的控制訊號，以控制淋浴設備180提供對應“小流量”、“中等流量”或“大流量”的出水量。When the user touches the touch area 111 of the touch unit 110 to “small flow”, “medium flow” or “large flow”, the control unit 120 correspondingly generates a control signal for the flow rate to control the shower device 180 to provide a corresponding The amount of water that is “small flow”, “medium flow” or “large flow”.

In the "3rd figure", the outer cover 310 is disposed on the touch unit 110. The touch unit 110 is disposed on the control unit 120, wherein the control unit 120 can be a circuit board. The housing 320 is configured to receive the cover 310 and the touch unit. 110 and control unit 120.
請參考「第4圖」所示，其為本新型之淋浴設備的控制裝置的示意圖。本實施例之淋浴設備的控制裝置400適於控制淋浴設備180的操作。淋浴設備的控制裝置400包括觸控單元110、控制單元120、溫度控制單元410、水量控制單元420、出水位置控制單元430、顯示單元440與聲音提示單元450。Please refer to "Figure 4" for a schematic diagram of the control device for the new shower device. The control device 400 of the shower apparatus of the present embodiment is adapted to control the operation of the shower device 180. The control device 400 of the shower device includes a touch unit 110, a control unit 120, a temperature control unit 410, a water amount control unit 420, a water discharge position control unit 430, a display unit 440, and a sound prompting unit 450.
溫度控制單元410耦接控制單元120與淋浴設備180之間，用以接收例如“溫度調整”的控制訊號，以調整淋浴設備180的出水溫度。其中，溫度控制單元410包括步進馬達。The temperature control unit 410 is coupled between the control unit 120 and the shower device 180 for receiving a control signal such as “temperature adjustment” to adjust the water outlet temperature of the shower device 180. Among them, the temperature control unit 410 includes a stepping motor.
舉例來說，當溫度控制單元410接收到控制訊號為“溫度調整”時，溫度控制單元410會依據此“溫度調整”的控制訊號，調整步進馬達的旋轉角度(檔位)，以控制冷水及熱水的出水比例，進而調整淋浴設備180的出水溫度，例如為38度或是其他的溫度。For example, when the temperature control unit 410 receives the control signal as “temperature adjustment”, the temperature control unit 410 adjusts the rotation angle (gear position) of the stepping motor according to the “temperature adjustment” control signal to control the cold water. And the ratio of the water output of the hot water, and further adjust the water outlet temperature of the shower device 180, for example, 38 degrees or other temperatures.
進一步來說，溫度控制單元410可包括溫度感測器411。溫度感測器411耦接控制單元120，用以感測溫度控制單元410所調整之淋浴設備180的出水溫度，並產生溫度感測訊號給控制單元120。接著，控制單元120可依據溫度感測訊號，以決定是否需要調整“溫度調整”的控制訊號。Further, the temperature control unit 410 may include a temperature sensor 411. The temperature sensor 411 is coupled to the control unit 120 for sensing the water temperature of the shower device 180 adjusted by the temperature control unit 410 and generating a temperature sensing signal to the control unit 120. Then, the control unit 120 can sense the signal according to the temperature to determine whether the control signal of the “temperature adjustment” needs to be adjusted.
也就是說，當控制單元120判斷出溫度感測訊號與預定的溫度(例如38度)不符時，則控制單元120會調整“溫度調整”的控制訊號，使得溫度控制單元210進一步調整冷水及熱水的出水比例，例如使溫度符合38度。當控制單元120判斷出溫度感測訊號 與預定的溫度(例如38度)相符時，則控制單元120不會調整“溫度調整”的控制訊號。如此一來，可使得淋浴設備的控制裝置400具備恆溫的作用。That is, when the control unit 120 determines that the temperature sensing signal does not match the predetermined temperature (for example, 38 degrees), the control unit 120 adjusts the control signal of the “temperature adjustment”, so that the temperature control unit 210 further adjusts the cold water and the heat. The proportion of water in the water, for example, makes the temperature conform to 38 degrees. When the control unit 120 determines the temperature sensing signal When the predetermined temperature (for example, 38 degrees) is matched, the control unit 120 does not adjust the control signal of the "temperature adjustment". In this way, the control device 400 of the shower device can be made to have a constant temperature function.
在一實施例中，控制單元120僅感溫後回饋溫度數值，但不自動進行溫度調整，也就是說，當控制單元120接收到前述溫度感測訊號後，並依據此溫度感測訊號而產生溫度訊號，以於顯示單元440產生對應於溫度訊號的顯示，例如使顯示單元440顯示出對應此時溫度訊號的溫度數值。接著，使用者便可透過顯示單元440得知現在的出水溫度，並可依據其需求而自行決定是否需要調整出水溫度。In an embodiment, the control unit 120 only feeds back the temperature value after the temperature is sensed, but does not automatically perform the temperature adjustment, that is, when the control unit 120 receives the temperature sensing signal, and generates the signal according to the temperature sensing signal. The temperature signal is such that the display unit 440 generates a display corresponding to the temperature signal, for example, causing the display unit 440 to display the temperature value corresponding to the temperature signal at this time. Then, the user can know the current outlet water temperature through the display unit 440, and can decide whether to adjust the outlet water temperature according to the demand.
在另一實施例中，為了避免出水溫度過冷或過熱，可在控制單元120內設定一預設溫度，例如為38度。在淋浴設備的控制裝置400初始啟動後，當控制單元120判斷出溫度感測訊號與預設溫度(38度)不符時，則控制單元120會調整“溫度調整”的控制訊號，使得溫度控制單元410進一步調整冷水及熱水的出水比例，使溫度符合預設溫度38度。In another embodiment, to prevent the outlet water temperature from being too cold or too hot, a predetermined temperature, for example 38 degrees, may be set in the control unit 120. After the control device 400 of the shower device is initially activated, when the control unit 120 determines that the temperature sensing signal does not match the preset temperature (38 degrees), the control unit 120 adjusts the control signal of the "temperature adjustment" to make the temperature control unit 410 further adjusts the proportion of cold water and hot water to make the temperature meet the preset temperature of 38 degrees.
當控制單元120判斷出溫度感測訊號與預定的溫度(例如38度)相符時，則控制單元120不會調整“溫度調整”的控制訊號。如此一來，可使得淋浴設備的控制裝置400具備出水的恆溫作用。When the control unit 120 determines that the temperature sensing signal matches the predetermined temperature (for example, 38 degrees), the control unit 120 does not adjust the control signal of the "temperature adjustment". In this way, the control device 400 of the shower device can be provided with a constant temperature function of the water.
水量控制單元420耦接控制單元120與淋浴設備180之間，用以接收“水量調整”的控制訊號，以調整淋浴設備180的出水量。其中，前述水量控制單元420包括多個電磁閥。在一實施例中， 這些電磁閥具有相同的流量。The water quantity control unit 420 is coupled between the control unit 120 and the shower device 180 for receiving a control signal of “water volume adjustment” to adjust the water output of the shower device 180. Wherein, the aforementioned water amount control unit 420 includes a plurality of electromagnetic valves. In an embodiment, These solenoid valves have the same flow rate.
舉例來說，當水量控制單元420接收到控制訊號為“增加水量”時，水量控制單元420依據此“增加水量”的控制訊號，以開啟對應數量的電磁閥，進而調整淋浴設備180的出水量。For example, when the water amount control unit 420 receives the control signal as “increasing the amount of water”, the water amount control unit 420 activates the corresponding number of solenoid valves according to the “increase water amount” control signal, thereby adjusting the water output of the shower device 180. .
進一步來說，當使用者按壓觸控單元110的觸控區域111為“增加水量”時，控制單元120會對應產生例如開啟1個電磁閥的控制訊號，使得水量控制單元420開啟一個電磁閥，增加淋浴設備180的出水量。也就是說，使用者每按壓觸控單元110上之“增加水量”的觸控區域111一次，則控制單元120會控制1個電磁閥開啟，以增加電磁閥的開啟數量。Further, when the user presses the touch area 111 of the touch unit 110 to “increase the amount of water”, the control unit 120 generates a control signal for opening, for example, one solenoid valve, so that the water quantity control unit 420 opens a solenoid valve. The amount of water discharged from the shower device 180 is increased. That is to say, each time the user presses the touch area 111 of “increasing the amount of water” on the touch unit 110 once, the control unit 120 controls one solenoid valve to open to increase the number of opening of the solenoid valve.
當使用者按壓觸控單元110的觸控區域111為“減少水量”時，控制單元120會對應產生例如關閉1個電磁閥的控制訊號，使得水量控制單元420關閉一個電磁閥，以減少淋浴設備180的出水量。也就是說，使用者每按壓觸控單元110上之“減少水量”的觸控區域111一次，則控制單元120會控制一個電磁閥關閉，以減少電磁閥的開啟數量。When the touch area 111 of the touch unit 110 is pressed to reduce the amount of water, the control unit 120 generates a control signal for closing one solenoid valve, for example, so that the water amount control unit 420 closes a solenoid valve to reduce the shower device. The amount of water from 180. That is to say, each time the user presses the touch area 111 of the “reduced water amount” on the touch unit 110 once, the control unit 120 controls a solenoid valve to be closed to reduce the number of opening of the solenoid valve.
在另一實施例中，前述電磁閥各自具有不同的流量，並且假設水量控制單元420包括3個電磁閥A、B、C，其中電磁閥A的流量為“小流量”、電磁閥B的流量為“中等流量”，電磁閥C的流量為“大流量”。In another embodiment, the aforementioned solenoid valves each have a different flow rate, and it is assumed that the water amount control unit 420 includes three solenoid valves A, B, and C, wherein the flow rate of the solenoid valve A is "small flow rate" and the flow rate of the solenoid valve B For "medium flow", the flow rate of the solenoid valve C is "large flow rate".
當使用者按壓觸控單元110的觸控區域111分別為“小流量”、“中等流量”或“大流量”時，控制單元120對應產生例如“小流量”、 “中等流量”或“大流量”的控制訊號，使得水量控制單元420對應開啟“小流量”的電磁閥A、“中等流量”的電磁閥B或“大流量”的電磁閥C(亦即開啟對應的電磁閥)，以調整淋浴設備180的出水量。When the user touches the touch area 111 of the touch unit 110 to “small flow”, “medium flow” or “large flow”, respectively, the control unit 120 generates, for example, “small flow”, The "medium flow" or "large flow" control signal causes the water volume control unit 420 to open a "small flow" solenoid valve A, a "medium flow" solenoid valve B or a "large flow" solenoid valve C (ie, open Corresponding solenoid valve) to adjust the amount of water discharged from the shower device 180.
在本實施例中，前述淋浴設備180進一步包括水龍頭、蓮蓬頭或配置於浴缸的出水口。出水位置控制單元430耦接控制單元120與淋浴設備180之間，用以接收“出水位置”的控制訊號，以調整淋浴設備180的出水位置。In the present embodiment, the shower device 180 further includes a faucet, a showerhead or a water outlet disposed in the bathtub. The water outlet position control unit 430 is coupled between the control unit 120 and the shower device 180 for receiving a control signal of the “water outlet position” to adjust the water outlet position of the shower device 180.
舉例來說，當出水位置控制單元430接收到“出水位置為水龍頭”的控制訊號時，出水位置控制單元430會依據此“出水位置為水龍頭”的控制訊號，將淋浴設備180調整由水龍頭提供出水。當出水位置控制單元430接收到“出水位置為蓮蓬頭”的控制訊號時，出水位置控制單元430會依據此“出水位置為蓮蓬頭”的控制訊號，將淋浴設備180調整由蓮蓬頭提供出水。For example, when the water outlet position control unit 430 receives the control signal that the “water outlet position is the faucet”, the water outlet position control unit 430 adjusts the shower device 180 to provide water from the faucet according to the control signal of “the water outlet position is the faucet”. . When the water outlet position control unit 430 receives the control signal that the "water outlet position is the shower head", the water outlet position control unit 430 adjusts the shower device 180 to provide the water from the shower head according to the control signal of the "water outlet position is the shower head".
當出水位置控制單元430接收到“出水位置為配置於浴缸210內的出水口211(例如為按摩浴缸內的多處出水口)”的控制訊號時，出水位置控制單元430會依據此“出水位置為配置於浴缸210的出水口211”的控制訊號，將淋浴設備180調整由配置於浴缸210的出水口211提供出水。When the water outlet position control unit 430 receives the control signal that the water outlet position is the water outlet 211 disposed in the bathtub 210 (for example, a plurality of water outlets in the bathtub), the water outlet position control unit 430 is based on the water outlet position. In order to be disposed in the control signal of the water outlet 211" of the bathtub 210, the shower device 180 is adjusted to provide water from the water outlet 211 disposed in the bathtub 210.
顯示單元440耦接控制單元120，用以接收控制訊號，以產生對應於此控制訊號的顯示，而顯示單元440產生對應於這些控制訊號的顯示例如為溫度數值、出水量數值與出水位置至少其一或其組合。在本實施例中，顯示單元440例如為發光二極體與液晶 顯示器至少其一。其中，顯示單元440例如包括多個不同顏色的發光二極體，這些發光二極體用以顯示淋浴設備180的出水位置的狀態。The display unit 440 is coupled to the control unit 120 for receiving control signals to generate a display corresponding to the control signals, and the display unit 440 generates displays corresponding to the control signals, such as temperature values, water output values, and water discharge positions. One or a combination thereof. In this embodiment, the display unit 440 is, for example, a light emitting diode and a liquid crystal. At least one of the displays. The display unit 440 includes, for example, a plurality of light-emitting diodes of different colors, and the light-emitting diodes are used to display the state of the water discharge position of the shower device 180.
舉例來說，紅色發光二極體用以顯示出水位置為水龍頭，藍色發光二極體用以顯示出水位置為蓮蓬頭，黃色發光二極體用以顯示出水位置為配置於浴缸210內的出水口211。For example, the red light emitting diode is used to display the water position as a water tap, the blue light emitting diode is used to display the water position as a shower head, and the yellow light emitting diode is used to display the water outlet position as a water outlet disposed in the bathtub 210. 211.
在一實施例中，顯示單元440例如為一透光圈形式，且搭配多個不同顏色的發光二極體，用以顯示觸控操作成功與否以及出水溫度。舉例來說，例如透光圈呈現白光閃爍(例如白色發光二極體)時，表示使用者觸控操作成功；透光圈呈現藍色光(例如藍色發光二極體)時，代表水溫為全冷；透光圈呈現橙色光(例如橙色發光二極體)時，表示出水溫度為32℃、38℃、42℃，而光圈呈現紅色光(例如紅色發光二極體)時，表示出水溫度為46℃。In one embodiment, the display unit 440 is, for example, in the form of a light-transmitting ring, and is provided with a plurality of light-emitting diodes of different colors for displaying the success or failure of the touch operation and the water discharge temperature. For example, when the light-transmitting ring exhibits white light flashing (for example, a white light-emitting diode), it indicates that the user's touch operation is successful; when the light-transmitting ring is blue light (for example, a blue light-emitting diode), the water temperature is completely cold. When the light-transmitting ring is orange-light (for example, an orange light-emitting diode), it indicates that the water temperature is 32°C, 38°C, and 42°C, and when the aperture is red light (for example, a red light-emitting diode), the water temperature is 46°C. .
在另一實施例中，顯示單元440例如包括液晶顯示器，用以顯示淋浴設備180的出水量及出水溫度數值。在又一實施例中，顯示單元440例如同時包括發光二極體及液晶顯示器，用以顯示淋浴設備180的出水量及出水溫度數值。如此一來，使用者便可透過顯示單元440上所顯示的狀態，以得知淋浴設備的控制裝置400的運作情況。In another embodiment, the display unit 440 includes, for example, a liquid crystal display for displaying the amount of water and the temperature of the water discharged from the shower device 180. In another embodiment, the display unit 440 includes, for example, a light emitting diode and a liquid crystal display for displaying the water output and the water temperature value of the shower device 180. In this way, the user can know the operation of the control device 400 of the shower device through the state displayed on the display unit 440.
聲音提示單元450耦接控制單元120，用以接收控制訊號，以產生一聲音。在本實施例中，前述聲音提示單元450為蜂鳴器。也就是說，每當使用者按壓觸控單元110上的任一觸控區域111 一次，則控制單元120所產生的控制訊號會提供聲音提示單元450，使得聲音提示單元450對應產生一聲音，以告知使用者確實按壓到觸控單元110。The sound prompting unit 450 is coupled to the control unit 120 for receiving a control signal to generate a sound. In the embodiment, the sound prompting unit 450 is a buzzer. That is, each time the user presses any touch area 111 on the touch unit 110 The control signal generated by the control unit 120 provides the sound prompting unit 450, so that the sound prompting unit 450 generates a sound corresponding to the user to actually press the touch unit 110.
在一實施例中，控制單元120除了依據溫度感測器411所產生的溫度感測訊號，以提供溫度訊號而控制顯示單元440產生對應此溫度訊號的顯示外，控制單元120還可進一步對溫度感測器411所產生的溫度感測訊號進行監控，亦即對淋浴設備180的出水溫度進行監控。例如，控制單元120會將所取得的溫度感測訊號與一溫度預設值(例如49度)進行比對，以確保用水的安全性。In an embodiment, the control unit 120 can further control the temperature according to the temperature sensing signal generated by the temperature sensor 411 to provide a temperature signal to control the display unit 440 to generate a display corresponding to the temperature signal. The temperature sensing signal generated by the sensor 411 is monitored, that is, the temperature of the water outlet of the shower device 180 is monitored. For example, the control unit 120 compares the obtained temperature sensing signal with a temperature preset value (for example, 49 degrees) to ensure the safety of water.
當控制單元120比對溫度感測訊號與溫度預設溫度預設值(例如49度)相符時，控制單元120會提供對應的控制訊號，來控制聲音提示單元(即蜂鳴器)450發出警報聲響，並同時控制淋浴設備180停止供水(亦即使淋浴設備180自動斷水)。如此一來，可確保用水的安全性，以避免使用者被燙傷。When the control unit 120 matches the temperature sensing signal with the temperature preset temperature preset value (for example, 49 degrees), the control unit 120 provides a corresponding control signal to control the sound prompting unit (ie, the buzzer) 450 to issue an alarm. The sound is sounded, and at the same time the shower device 180 is controlled to stop the water supply (even if the shower device 180 automatically shuts off the water). In this way, the safety of water can be ensured to avoid burns to the user.
在一實施例中，當控制單元120控制水量控制單元(即電磁閥)420調整淋浴設備180的出水量後，還可進一步對出水時間進行監控，以避免水資源的浪費。也就是說，當使用者經由控制單元120控制水量控制單元420後，控制單元120會開始進行計數，並將計數值與一預設計數值(例如5分鐘或10分鐘)進行比對。In an embodiment, after the control unit 120 controls the water amount control unit (ie, the solenoid valve) 420 to adjust the water output of the shower device 180, the water discharge time can be further monitored to avoid waste of water resources. That is, after the user controls the water amount control unit 420 via the control unit 120, the control unit 120 starts counting and compares the count value with a pre-designed value (for example, 5 minutes or 10 minutes).
當控制單元120判斷計數值與預設計數值(例如5分鐘或10分鐘)相符時，亦即控制單元120並無對水量控制單元420有進一步的控制(即出水控制單元420於5分鐘或10分鐘內無動作)， 則控制單元120會控制淋浴設備180停止供水(亦即使淋浴設備180自動斷水)。如此一來，可有效避免使用者在忘記關水的情況下，而產生水資源的浪費。When the control unit 120 determines that the count value matches the pre-designed value (for example, 5 minutes or 10 minutes), that is, the control unit 120 does not have further control over the water amount control unit 420 (ie, the water discharge control unit 420 is 5 minutes or 10 minutes). No action inside), The control unit 120 then controls the shower device 180 to stop water supply (although the shower device 180 automatically shuts off water). In this way, the user can effectively avoid the waste of water resources when the user forgets to turn off the water.
