Faucet monitoring device, faucet comprising same and monitoring method

Abstract

Disclosed are a faucet monitoring device, a faucet comprising the same and a monitoring method. The faucet comprising the monitoring device comprises a body, a switch element and the monitoring device, the switch element is pivotally connected to the body, the monitoring device is mounted on the switch element and comprises an angle sensor, a microprocessor and a display, the angle sensor is used for sensing a rotating angle of the switch element so as to obtain an angle numerical value, the microprocessor receives the angle numerical value and calculates total water outlet quantity by means of accumulating starting time of the switch element, whether the total water outlet quantity is larger than preset limit or not is judged, if the total water outlet quantity is larger than the preset limit, a display signal is outputted to the display, the monitoring device can sense the rotating angle of the switch element to obtain the flow of the body via the angle sensor, and accordingly a filter element can be replaced at the correct time accurately according to the total water outlet quantity.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a faucet, in particular to a monitoring device for the faucet, a faucet with the monitoring device, and a monitoring method. Background technique [0002] In the past, in order to maintain a certain water filtering effect, consumers were often reminded to replace the filter element regularly. However, since the water consumption of each consumer is different, if the method of regular replacement is adopted, the filter element will no longer be usable. However, it is still used, or the filter element is still usable and replaced. [0003] In order to be able to replace the filter element at a more correct time point, a water filter faucet in the past, such as disclosed in Taiwan Patent No. M345165, includes a body, a switch element, a magnet mounted on the switch element, A magnetic sensor installed on the body corresponding to the magnet, a microprocessor electrically connected to the magnetic sensor, and a display electricall...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] 1. The above-mentioned faucet requires many parts, including the magnet and the magnetic sensor, which increases the cost

[0006] 2. The aforementioned faucet is difficult to assemble. The magnet must be installed on the body, and the magnetic sensor must be installed on the switch element. There are many installation procedures, and the magnet and the magnetic sensor must be aligned accurately.

[0007] 3. The aforementioned faucets can only accumulate the total time of water discharge, and cannot judge the water flow per unit time and the total water discharge. There is still room for improvement
