Abstract
A water discharge device includes a switcher and a control circuit unit. The switcher switches between a first discharge state of discharging supplied water and a second discharge state of discharging a fluid obtained by mixing an additive into supplied water, through electrical operation. The control circuit unit controls switching by the switcher based on operation input from a user. When the second discharge state has been selected by operation input and when a certain time has elapsed from the start of discharge in the second discharge state, the control circuit unit switches the operating state to the first discharge state.
Claims11
A water discharge device, comprising:
- a switcher that switches between a first discharge state of discharging supplied water and a second discharge state of discharging a fluid obtained by mixing an additive into supplied water, through electrical operation;
- and
- a control circuit unit that controls switching by the switcher based on operation input from a user,
- wherein, when the second discharge state has been selected by the operation input and when a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of discharge in the second discharge state, the control circuit unit switches the operating state to the first discharge state,
- wherein, when the operation input for selecting the first discharge state is received in the second discharge state, the control circuit unit switches the operating state to the first discharge state before the predetermined time elapses.
(canceled)
A water discharge device, comprising:
- a switcher that switches between a first discharge state of discharging supplied water and a second discharge state of discharging foam made by mixing a liquid containing a foaming component and air into supplied water, through electrical operation;
- and
- a control circuit unit hat controls switching by the switcher based on operation input from a user,
- wherein, when the second discharge state has been selected by the operation input and when a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of discharge in the second discharge state, the control circuit unit switches the operating state to a third discharge state in which mixing of at least one of the liquid or the air into supplied water is stopped,
- further comprising a flow regulator that regulates the flow rate of supplied water in the second discharge state.
