[0028] The specific embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the embodiments of this application.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] This application first provides a remote control device for a faucet, such as Figure 1 As shown, the remote control device may include a control box 110 and a remote control switch 120. The dimensions of the control box 110 can be customized according to the actual application, for example, 221*110*43mm. It may include a water inlet 111 and a first water outlet 112 connected to faucet A. For example, the water inlet 111 may include a hot water inlet and a cold water inlet, and correspondingly, the first water outlet 112 may include a hot water outlet and a cold water outlet. The control box 110 may contain two solenoid valves to control the cold and hot water respectively. The remote control switch 120 can be wirelessly connected to the control box 110; that is, the two communicate wirelessly, and the remote control switch 120 can send a first remote control command to the control box 110 in response to a first preset signal to control the opening or closing of the first water outlet 112.

[0031] In one embodiment, the control box 110 may further include a mode switch 114 for switching the control box 110 to bypass mode or remote control mode. In bypass mode, the first outlet 112 is normally open. In remote control mode, the first outlet 112 opens or closes in response to a first remote control command.

[0032] In one embodiment, the remote control switch 120 may include an indicator light showing the power-on status and an infrared sensor 121. In this case, the first setting signal may be a gesture signal, that is, when the infrared sensor 121 acquires (senses) a gesture signal, the remote control switch 120 sends a first remote control command. The first remote control command may include a first opening command to open the first water outlet 112 and a first closing command to close the first water outlet 112.

[0033] In one embodiment, the remote control switch 120 may further include a timer and a counter. The timer can be reset to zero and start timing each time the infrared sensor 121 acquires a gesture signal, and can stop timing and reset to zero if no gesture signal is acquired again within a first set time after the infrared sensor 121 acquires a gesture signal. The counter can be used to count the number of times the infrared sensor 121 acquires a gesture signal, and can reset to zero when the timer stops timing.

[0034] In one embodiment, the remote control switch 120 sends a first activation command to the control box 110 when the infrared sensor 121 acquires a gesture signal an odd number of times (e.g., by monitoring with the counter described above).

[0035] In addition, if the remote control switch 120 acquires a gesture signal from the infrared sensor 121 an even number of times (e.g., by monitoring with the counter mentioned above) or does not acquire a gesture signal again within a first set time after acquiring a gesture signal an odd number of times (e.g., by monitoring with the timer mentioned above), it sends a first shutdown command to the control box 110.

[0036] Using the above method, the control box 110 of this application can be easily assembled with a commonly used mechanical faucet and upgraded into a sensor faucet. Specifically, when the remote control switch 120 and the control box 110 are powered on and paired, they can operate in the following scenario mode 1.

[0037] Scenario Mode 1:

[0038] 1) Turn the handle of faucet A to the open position;

[0039] 2) Wave your hand in the sensing area of ​​remote control switch 120 to turn on the water;

[0040] 3) Swing again to stop the water flow;

[0041] 4) If no waving motion is detected after the first set time (e.g., within 3-5 minutes, such as 4 minutes), the water will automatically turn off 4 minutes after the most recent waving motion.

[0042] Example 2

[0043] In another embodiment, the remote control switch 120 can also be wirelessly connected to the garbage disposal unit B and send a second remote control command to the garbage disposal unit B in response to a second setting signal to control the garbage disposal unit B to turn on or off. Figure 2 As shown, the garbage disposal unit B is installed on and electrically connected to a socket (e.g., a smart socket with dimensions of 127*60*33mm). The remote control switch 120 is wirelessly connected to the socket and sends a second remote control command to the socket to turn it on or off in response to a second setting signal, thereby controlling the garbage disposal unit B to turn on or off.

[0044] In one embodiment, the remote control switch 120 may further include a button 122, which may be a touch button or a mechanical button. In this case, the second setting signal may be a pressing signal, and the remote control switch 120 sends a second remote control command when the button 122 receives the pressing signal (i.e., senses that it has been pressed). In addition, the button 122 may also have a pairing function, that is, if the button 122 is pressed and held, pairing can be automatically completed between the remote control switch 120, the control box 110 and the socket of the garbage disposal unit B.

[0045] Specifically, the second remote control command may include a second turn-on command to turn on garbage disposal B and a second turn-off command to turn off garbage disposal B. Additionally, the remote control switch 120 also sends a first remote control command to the control box 110 in response to a second setting signal. That is, when button 122 is pressed, the remote control switch 120 simultaneously sends both the first and second remote control commands.

[0046] In one embodiment, when the remote control switch 120 receives a pressing signal from the button 122 an odd number of times (e.g., monitored by the counter described above), it sends a first opening command to the control box 110 and sends a second opening command after a second set time (e.g., monitored by the timer described above).

[0047] In one embodiment, if the remote control switch 120 does not receive a press signal again after a third set time (e.g., monitored by the counter mentioned above) after the button 122 has received a press signal an even number of times (e.g., monitored by the timer mentioned above) or after receiving a gesture signal an odd number of times, the remote control switch 120 sends a second shutdown command to the control box 110 and sends a first shutdown command after a fourth set time (e.g., monitored by the timer mentioned above).

[0048] The above-described solution allows the control box 110 of this application to be assembled with a commonly used mechanical faucet and a garbage disposal unit. It can also be programmed to control the coordinated operation of the faucet and garbage disposal unit. Specifically, when the remote control switch 120, control box 110, and garbage disposal unit B's socket are powered on and paired, they can operate in scenario mode 2 as described below.

[0049] Scenario Mode 2:

[0050] 1) Turn the handle of faucet A to the open position;

[0051] 2) Press button 122 on remote control switch 120 to turn on the water. After the second set time (e.g., within 3-5 seconds), garbage disposal B will turn on.

[0052] 3) Press button 122 again. Garbage disposal B will stop first, and then turn off faucet A after the fourth set time (e.g., within 15-20 seconds).

[0053] 4) If no button press is detected after the third set time (which may be the same as or different from the first set time mentioned above, such as within 2-3 minutes, for example 3 minutes), the garbage disposal B will be automatically turned off 3 minutes after the most recent press, and then the faucet A will be automatically turned off.

[0054] Example 3

[0055] In another embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the control box 110 may further include a second water outlet 113 connected to the garbage disposal unit B, which can be connected to the garbage disposal unit B via a connecting pipe. Optionally, due to different functions and operating environments, two different types of connecting pipes can be used to connect the control box 110 to the faucet A and the control box 110 to the garbage disposal unit B respectively. The remote control switch 120 may also send a second remote control command and a third remote control command to the control box 110 in response to a second setting signal (e.g., a press signal of button 122). Specifically, the third remote control command may include a third opening command to open the second water outlet 113 and a third closing command to close the second water outlet 113. That is, when button 122 is pressed, the remote control switch 120 simultaneously sends the second remote control command and the third remote control command.

[0056] In one embodiment, when the remote control switch 120 receives a press signal from the button 122 an odd number of times (e.g., monitored by the counter described above), it sends a third opening command to the control box 110 and sends a second opening command after a second set time (e.g., monitored by the timer described above).

[0057] If the remote control switch 120 does not receive a press signal again within a third set time period after the button 122 has received a press signal an even number of times (e.g., monitored by the counter mentioned above) or after the button 122 has received a gesture signal an odd number of times (e.g., monitored by the timer mentioned above), it sends a second shutdown command to the control box 110 and sends a third shutdown command after a fourth set time period (e.g., monitored by the timer mentioned above).

[0058] Through the above solution, the control box 110 of this application can be assembled with a commonly used garbage disposal unit to upgrade the garbage disposal unit and enable it to have an automatic water inlet function. Specifically, when the remote control switch 120, the control box 110, and the socket of the garbage disposal unit B are powered on and paired, they can operate in the following scenario mode 3.

[0059] Scenario Mode 3:

[0060] 1) Press the button 122 on the remote control switch 120, the second water outlet 113 opens, water starts flowing towards the garbage disposer B, and after a second set time (such as within 3 - 5 s), turn on the garbage disposer B;

[0061] 2) Press the button 122 again, the garbage disposer B stops first, and then after a fourth set time (such as within 15 - 20 s), close the second water outlet 113 to stop supplying water to the garbage disposer B;

[0062] 3) If no button - pressing action is sensed after a third set time (such as within 2 - 3 minutes, for example 3 minutes), automatically turn off the garbage disposer B 3 minutes after the most recent pressing action, and then automatically close the second water outlet 113.

[0063] Through the above - mentioned technical solutions, the beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present application include:

[0064] 1) Quick - connection interface. Existing mechanical faucets can be easily assembled with the control box of the present application to be upgraded to induction faucets and can work in联动 with existing garbage disposers.

[0065] 2) Unique联动 working function. The control box of the present application can control the faucet to automatically open before the garbage disposer starts working and obtain the closing signal of the garbage disposer to control the faucet to automatically close.

[0066] 3) The remote control switch has two functions: infrared induction control (only for induction faucets) and mechanical pressing control (for联动 with the garbage disposer). The remote control switch can be installed at any position desired by the customer.

[0067] In summary, the remote control device of the faucet in the present application can easily upgrade existing mechanical faucets to induction faucets. Different from the integrated solutions of faucets or sinks of competitors, the control box of the present application is independent and thus can be applied to multiple scenarios. In addition, the present application can also upgrade the garbage disposer to have an automatic water - inlet function and can联动 the faucet and the garbage disposer to work, etc.

[0068] On the other hand, the present application also provides a smart home management system, which may include: a faucet and the above - mentioned remote control device of the faucet.

[0069] Regarding the beneficial effects of the smart home management system of the present application, reference can be made to the description of the remote control device of the faucet above and will not be elaborated here.
