Problems solved by technology

[0005] There are currently many innovative designs for showers, but most of them are limited to appearance, mechanical structure, operation mode, installation form, etc.; a small number of designs pay attention to issues such as constant water temperature, but the solutions constructed are really complicated and difficult. large-scale general application
And considering the temperature and water flow characteristics of the shower room, the sensors of general smart devices, such as infrared sensors and distance sensors, are difficult to use

Abstract

The invention discloses a machine vision and single chip microcomputer based trackable water-saving temperature control shower. A cold water supply pipe and a hot water supply pipe are connected with regulating valves, the cold water supply pipe is connected with the regulating valve through a cold water valve, the regulating valves are connected with a cache tank, a guide pipe is connected with the cache tank through a guide pipe valve, and the cache tank is connected with a shower head through a water outlet valve and a water outlet pipe. The water outlet pipe is provided with two flexible connecting pipes controllable in a turning mode, and a camera is installed on the shower head. The cold water guide pipe and the water outlet valve are respectively connected with a cold water guide pipe control motor and a water outlet valve control motor. The hot water supply pipe is provided with a liquid detection sensor, and a temperature sensor, a control module and a control display panel are installed on the cache tank. A core single chip microcomputer module is connected with all modules and the control display panel respectively. The machine vision and single chip microcomputer based trackable water-saving temperature control shower enables bathing water to be efficiently utilized, is capable of saving water, low in cost, simple and convenient to operate and easy to popularize, and is especially suitable for usage at home and a public bathroom, bathing experience can be improved while water resources is greatly saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an intelligent shower device, in particular to a trackable water-saving and temperature-controlled shower based on machine vision and a single-chip microcomputer. Background technique [0002] As the infrastructure of public places such as personal homes, schools and companies, shower rooms are a major place for water consumption. However, when taking a bath, there will be a large amount of time standing outside the range of the sprayed water level of the shower head, causing unnecessary waste of water resources. Most of the current shower designs are excessively pursuing a large water volume and a wide range, causing a lot of unnecessary bathing water to be wasted in vain. [0003] In addition, it is often encountered that the eyes are covered when taking a bath. People with water-saving awareness will turn off the shower before washing their hair and taking a bath, but once the eyes are covered, it takes a long time to find...
