Electronic timer for mitigation of solenoid valve water hammer effect

An electronic timer for mitigation of a solenoid valve water hammer effect, comprising:

• a housing, which is a structurally hollow enclosure defining an internal receiving space;
• a water pipe extending through the housing, featuring an inlet section and an outlet section at its respective ends to facilitate the ingress and egress of fluid, wherein the inlet section and the outlet section are connected by a water control section aligned with the internal receiving space of the housing;
• a solenoid control valve integrated into the water control section to regulate the flow of fluid within the water pipe;
• a control interface provided on the housing and including multiple control keys for configuring an automated operation timing of the fluid flow in the water pipe;
• and
• a water hammer suppressor positioned between the solenoid control valve and the inlet section, the water hammer suppressor consisting of a fluid passage and a buffer assembly, wherein the fluid passage establishes hydraulic communication with the water control section to allow fluid ingress, and the buffer assembly functions to attenuate transient pressure surges, thereby mitigating the water hammer effect;
• wherein the buffer assembly comprises a tube seat, a reciprocating piston, a biasing spring, and a cap, the tube seat being axially aligned and hydraulically connected to the exterior of the fluid passage, defining a sliding cavity and a mounting port, the reciprocating piston being slidably positioned within the sliding cavity, the cap being attached to the mounting port, and the biasing spring being positioned between the reciprocating piston and the cap to provide a resilient force that urges the reciprocating piston toward the fluid passage.
