Thermostatic Cartridge And Mixer Tap Including Such A Thermostatic Cartridge

Abstract: The invention relates to a cartridge which comprises a casing (10) to be fitted integrally in a tap body (3) as well as a thermostatic element (30) controlling the position of a slide valve (20) for regulating the temperature of a mixed fluid formed by mixing hot and cold fluids in a chamber (11) of the casing. The cartridge comprises a turbine (50) supported by the casing by being arranged in the chamber so as to be rotated about an axis (X X) of the chamber by the mixed fluid flowing in the chamber towards a mixed fluid outlet (14). The cartridge incorporates at least one permanent magnet (60) supported by the turbine so as to be rotated about the axis together with the turbine and at least one coil (70) fixedly arranged on an outer face (10A) of the casing through which the hot and cold fluids enter the chamber so that the magnet generates an electric current in the coil by electromagnetic induction when the turbine rotates.
