Water Tap Automation

Push Tap 

How does a Push Tap/Self-closing tap works?

They have a chamber that fills with water when the valve is depressed. A spring pushes against a piston. As the water leaves the chamber through an adjustable orifice, the piston moves the valve towards the closed position. The spring then holds it closed.

The important parts

IR transmitter

IR collector

Control Unit with Power supply

Solenoid Valve

Water Tank

The IR TRANSMITTER circuit is to transmit the Infra-Red beams. If any obstruction is there in the  way, the Infra-Red beams reflected. These reflected Infra-Red beams are gotten by the recipient circuit is called “IR RECEIVER”.

The IR collector circuit gets the reflected IR beams and giving the control flag to the control circuit. The control circuit is utilized to actuate the solenoid valve.
