AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing connecting valves cannot have detection devices installed in or near them due to installation location limitations, resulting in poor reliability of end-point water parameter detection.

Method used

A thermoelectric power generation module is installed between the cold water plate and the hot water plate of the connecting valve. The thermoelectric power generation module generates electricity to power the devices, and the electricity is stored through the energy storage module, so as to realize the flexible setting and stable power supply of the detection module and the main control module.

Benefits of technology

It improves the reliability of end-point water parameter detection and the stability of power supply, enhances the setting flexibility of the detection module, and ensures continuous power supply and safe use of electrical components.
