Abstract
A multi flush volume flush valve is in communication with an automatic flush control. The flush control determines the presence of a user and the amount of time the user uses the toilet. The usage time is compared to a predetermined time value to determine the appropriate flush volume based on an assumption regarding usage time and flush volume needs. The comparative value statistically adjusts to the restroom traffic.
Claims (16)
1. A method for controlling the flush volume of a flush valve, comprising the steps of:
detecting the presence of a user;
initiating a usage timer upon detection of a user;
stopping the timer upon the detection of the absence of the user, thereby generating a usage time t x representing elapsed time;
comparing the usage time t x to an average usage time t p or, if t p does not exist, to a preset usage time T p;
selecting a flush volume to be used for a flush event based on the comparison, and if T p was used for the comparison, averaging T p and t x to generate average usage time t p;
if t p was used for the comparison, averaging t p and t x to generate a new average usage time which becomes t p.
detecting the presence of a user;
initiating a usage timer upon detection of a user;
stopping the timer upon the detection of the absence of the user, thereby generating a usage time t x representing elapsed time;
comparing the usage time t x to an average usage time t p or, if t p does not exist, to a preset usage time T p;
selecting a flush volume to be used for a flush event based on the comparison, and if T p was used for the comparison, averaging T p and t x to generate average usage time t p;
if t p was used for the comparison, averaging t p and t x to generate a new average usage time which becomes t p.
2. The method of c1aim 1, wherein T p is t1, a predetermined average liquid waste use time and further wherein selecting the flush volume comprises if t x is greater than t1, then selecting a full volume flush, and if t x is less than t1, then selecting a reduced volume flush.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein t p is t s, a predetermined average solid waste use time and further wherein selecting the flush volume comprises if t x is greater than t s, then selecting a full volume flush and if t x is less than t1, then selecting a reduced volume flush.
4. A method for controlling the flush volume of a flushometer comprising the steps of:
monitoring for the presence of a user;
detecting the presence of a user;
initiating a usage timer upon detection of the user;
generating a usage time t x that equals time elapsed as determined from the usage timer when the user is no longer detected;
determining if the number of cycles n c that the flushometer has undergone is less than a predetermined number of cycles N p;
if n c < N p, then determining if the usage time t x is greater than or equal to a preset usage time value T p where if t x is greater than or equal to the preset value T p, then a full volume flush is performed, and if t x is less than the preset value T p, then a reduced volume flush is performed;
if N c > N p, then determining if the usage time t x is greater than or equal to a calculated average usage time t p where if t x is greater than or equal to the calculated average usage time t p, then a full volume flush is performed, and if t x is less than the predetermined average usage time t p, then a reduced volume flush is performed; and modifying t p according to the value of t x.
monitoring for the presence of a user;
detecting the presence of a user;
initiating a usage timer upon detection of the user;
generating a usage time t x that equals time elapsed as determined from the usage timer when the user is no longer detected;
determining if the number of cycles n c that the flushometer has undergone is less than a predetermined number of cycles N p;
if n c < N p, then determining if the usage time t x is greater than or equal to a preset usage time value T p where if t x is greater than or equal to the preset value T p, then a full volume flush is performed, and if t x is less than the preset value T p, then a reduced volume flush is performed;
if N c > N p, then determining if the usage time t x is greater than or equal to a calculated average usage time t p where if t x is greater than or equal to the calculated average usage time t p, then a full volume flush is performed, and if t x is less than the predetermined average usage time t p, then a reduced volume flush is performed; and modifying t p according to the value of t x.
5. The method of claim 4, wherein T p and t p further comprises a measure of liquid waste usage, preset and average usage values, T1 and t1 respectively.
6. The method of claim 5, further comprising, modifying t1 based on t x to calculate a new t1.
7. The method of claim 4, wherein T p and t p further comprises a measure of liquid waste usage, preset and average usage values, T s and t s respectively.
8. The method of claim 7, further comprising, modifying t s based on t x to calculate a new t s.
9. The method of claim 4, further comprising storing the time t x in a memory unit.
10. The method of claim 4, wherein detecting the user comprises the use of a sensor selected from the group consisting of infrared, capacitance, weight, thermal motion, and combinations thereof.
11. A system for controlling the flush volume of a flush valve, comprising a flush valve, a unit capable of reading and allowing the execution of program code, a sensor, a timer, program code, the program code causing, when executed, one or more machines to perform the following method steps:
determining the presence of a user;
upon determination of the presence of a user, initiating a usage timer;
stopping the timer upon the detection of the absence of the user, generating a usage time t x, and determining if the usage time t x is greater than or equal to a predetermined average liquid waste use time (t1) if t x is greater than or equal to t1, then a full volume flush is performed, if t x is less than t1, then a reduced volume flush is performed.
determining the presence of a user;
upon determination of the presence of a user, initiating a usage timer;
stopping the timer upon the detection of the absence of the user, generating a usage time t x, and determining if the usage time t x is greater than or equal to a predetermined average liquid waste use time (t1) if t x is greater than or equal to t1, then a full volume flush is performed, if t x is less than t1, then a reduced volume flush is performed.
12. The program product of claim 11, further comprising, if t x is greater than or equal to t1, then modifying t1 based on t x to calculate a new T1.
13. The program product of claim 11, further comprising a predetermined average solid waste use time (t s).
14. The program product of claim 13, further comprising, if t x is greater than t1, then modifying t s based on t x to calculate a new t s.
15. The program product of claim 11, further comprising storing the time t x in a memory unit
16. The program product of claim 11, wherein detecting the user comprises the use of a sensor selected from the group consisting of infrared, capacitance, weight, thermal, motion, and combinations thereof.
