Abstract

Water, an indispensable element of life, maintains its primary position in the lives of humans, animals, and plants. Using this vital water more carefully and controllably should be a primary goal, especially in today's world where even the slightest contact can negatively affect human health. Hygienic taps protect people from viruses and significantly conserve water, both for daily personal needs and in agriculture and animal husbandry. In a world where global warming has become a threat, conserving and thrifting water is now unavoidable. With the hygienic tap project, we should not step into homes, workplaces, and especially public spaces without turning off the water, and we should control the water flow by turning it on and off with our feet, thus protecting against infectious diseases and preventing water wastage. The project began with inverting and lowering lever-operated taps found in homes and various locations to foot level. This water-saving and hygienic tap design is characterized by a double-inlet, single-outlet tap with separate hot and cold water hoses, which is inverted and placed at foot level. The design includes a water outlet hose that delivers water to the point of use, a control lever that operates the tap with downward pressure from the foot, a hot water control lever that provides hot water flow by moving it to the right and downwards with the foot, a cold water control lever that provides cold water flow by moving it to the left and downwards with the foot, a spring mechanism that automatically cuts off the water flow by returning the tap to the closed position when the foot pressure is removed, and the main body that houses these components.

Description

1 TARIFF Water-saving and hygienic faucet. Technical Area 5 This invention relates to the field of water use systems; specifically, to reducing water consumption and preventing infectious diseases. A foot-operated, mechanical faucet developed to ensure hygiene against diseases. It is related to the system. State of the Art Modern faucet systems are generally controlled manually, and this situation is: 10 The spread of infectious diseases through contact, It leads to unnecessary water consumption and waste. Sensor-based systems, however, are widely used in all fields due to their high cost and energy requirements. It is not available. Purpose of the Invention 15 The purpose of this invention is: Ensuring hygiene by eliminating hand contact when using taps. Saving money by reducing water consumption, To develop an economical system that does not require electricity, The goal is to offer a practical and applicable solution for daily use. 20 Detailed Description of the Invention The invention is described below with the reference numbers: Cold water inlet hose (1): This refers to the cold water inlet located at the bottom of an inverted faucet. Hot water inlet hose (2): 25 This refers to the hot water inlet located at the bottom of an inverted faucet. 2 Water outlet hose(3): 5 The mixture of hot and cold water that comes out of the faucet spout and connects to the handwashing tap. It is the hose that allows the outlet. Cold and hot water diverter lever (4): A mechanical metal lever that allows water to flow when pressed downwards with the foot. Hot water diverter lever (5): 10 This is a mechanical lever that allows hot water to flow when pressed to the right and downwards with the foot. Cold water diverter lever (6): This is a mechanical lever that allows cold water to flow when the foot is pressed to the left and downwards. Spring mechanism (7): A steel wire spring is placed between the control lever and the main body of the inverted faucet. 15 Thanks to this feature, the system automatically shuts off when the foot pressure is removed. Faucet mixer (8): It has a dual inlet and a single outlet, and the control panel is inverted, fixed to the body, and lowered to foot level. It is a component. Main body (9): 20 It is the supporting structure to which all system components are fixed and which forms the main framework of the system. Advantages Provided by the Invention It ensures hygiene by eliminating hand contact. It reduces the risk of infectious diseases spreading. It provides significant savings in water usage. 25 It requires no electricity; it's a completely mechanical system. It is economical and easy to implement. Hot and cold water can be controlled with the foot pedal.
