Abstract
A method of controlling actuation of a flush apparatus includes the steps of configuring a control module to actuate the flush apparatus for completing a flushing cycle periodically; and after a given unused time period of the flush apparatus, enabling the control module to enter into a sleep mode to stop an actuation of the flush apparatus. Therefore, during the rush hours, the control module is configured to actuate the flush apparatus frequently and during the off rush hours, the control module is configured to actuate the flush apparatus seldom.
Claims20
A method of controlling actuation of a flush apparatus for a flushing system, comprising the steps of:
- (a) programming a flush interval in a control module to actuate said flush apparatus for completing a flushing cycle periodically;
- (b) stop actuating said flush apparatus after a given unused time period of said flush apparatus;
- and
- (c) enabling said flush apparatus to be actuated manually at any time by actuating a flush lever to move said flush apparatus to an opened position from a closed position.
A flush apparatus for a flushing system, comprising:
- an electric motor;
- a relief valve powered by said electric motor for flushing said flushing system until a flushing cycle thereof is completed by moving said flush apparatus from an opened position to a closed position, wherein said relief valve is actuated manually and automatically in response to a detection of a presence of a user, wherein said relief valve comprises a valve member, a valve stopper sat on said valve member, and an actuator which is driven by said electric motor to move said relief valve between said opened position and said closed position, wherein when said actuator is moved to contact with said valve stopper, said relief valve is moved at said closed position, wherein when said valve member is moved aside, said relief valve is moved from said closed position to said opened position;
- and
- a flush lever being manually actuated pivotally at any time to push said valve member so as to move said flush apparatus to said opened position from said closed position.
