CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS AND PRIORITY
[001] The present application claim priority from India provisional patent application 201641026346 titled “TOUCHLESS DRINKING WATER DISPENSING APPARATUS” dated August 2nd, 2016.
TECHNICAL FIELD
[002] The present disclosure in general relates to the field of water dispensing. More particularly, the present subject matter relates to a system and a method for controlling flow of water from a water-dispensing tap.
BACKGROUND
[003] Generally, any drinking water dispensing machines used now a day requires user’s interaction, by the way of turning a knob or pressing/bulling a lever or pressing a button for operation. Further, if any of the users are carriers of any infection, then their interaction with the drinking water dispensing machines may result in surface to surface transmission of infection to other users especially in places such as offices, hospitals, schools, households, shopping malls and others.
[004] Conventional system and method for touchless water dispensing make use of bulky and more complicated mechanisms for controlling the water flow electronically. Further, in some cases the conventional system and method also require high inlet water pressure for dispensing, which fail when implemented in regions with low inlet pressure. Furthermore, conventional system and method have the flow of water located close to electrical and metallic components, resulting in rusting in case of even minor leakage. Thus, conventional system and method used for touchless drinking water dispensing machines is very expensive because of its complicated design, frequent repairs and non-compatible with existing drinking water dispensing machines. Hence, to overcome all the above-mentioned difficulties, there exists a need for an efficient and economical touchless drinking water dispensing apparatus that can be used with all the new and existing drinking water dispensing machines with easy integration.
