Abstract

In a toilet comprising a toilet bowl, the water-saving system comprises a first emitter for emitting a first beam having a first wavelength comprised between 300 and 495 nm. A second emitter for emitting a second beam has a second wavelength comprised between 590 and 900 nm, at least one detector for receiving the first and second beams. The first emitter, second emitter and detector(s) are installed on the toilet such that the first beam and second beam pass through the water contained in the toilet bowl before being received by the detector(s). A controller receives and processes data from the detector(s), and the data representing the waste level in the toilet bowl. A flush volume actuator is actuated by the controller for flushing a variable volume of water as a function of the data, so as to minimize the volume of water.

Abstract

The invention relates to a filling valve (1) for a toilet cistern, which comprises: (i) a body (6) in which there is formed a chamber (20) that has an upstream orifice (21) designed to be connected to a water inlet pipe (2), and a downstream orifice (22) designed to be connected to a pipe (4) for filling a toilet cistern, (ii) a piston (30) comprising a head (32) and a rod, designed to be moved between an open position in which the head (32) of the piston (30) allows a liquid to flow through the downstream orifice (22) and a closed position in which the head (32) of the piston (30) closes off the downstream orifice (22) in a sealed manner. In addition, the head (32) of the piston (30) has at least one undercut region (38) designed to allow the exertion of a hydraulic counter-pressure that assists the piston (30) to pass into its closed position. An elastomeric diaphragm (40) is positioned in the chamber (20) and covers the head (32) of the piston (30) and an annular cavity (34) in order to seal the closure of the downstream orifice (22) by the head (32) of the piston (30).
