Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of faucets, and in particular to a controllable water-saving faucet. Background Art

[0002] Faucet is a popular name for water valve, which is used to control the size of water flow and has the effect of saving water. The replacement speed of faucets is very fast, from the old cast iron process to the electroplated knob type, and then to the stainless steel single temperature single control faucet, stainless steel double temperature double control faucet, and kitchen semi-automatic faucet. Now, more and more consumers will consider the material, function, shape and other aspects when purchasing faucets.

[0003] Water conservation, also known as water saving, refers to strengthening water management, adjusting water use structure, improving water use methods, using water in a scientific, reasonable, planned and focused manner through administrative, technical and economic management means, improving water utilization, and avoiding waste of water resources. In particular, we must do a good job of publicity among the people, use activities such as World Water Day to educate everyone to use water scientifically in daily work or life, consciously save water, and achieve everyone's responsibility to save water. Saving water should start from the little things, it may seem like a drop of water, but there is a lot of knowledge behind it.

[0004] When we wash vegetables or fruits in our daily life, such as apples and watermelons, they are of different sizes, and the amount of water when we use the faucet to rinse them is generally similar. We are generally accustomed to opening the faucet valve to rinse them, but this way of rinsing causes a waste of water resources. It is not easy to reasonably control the amount of water when rinsing fruits or vegetables of different sizes and weights. Moreover, when washing vegetables or fruits, some people are accustomed to washing them with one hand, which makes it easy to wash them uncleanly and require the fruits or vegetables to be rinsed again, which is troublesome and also causes a waste of water resources. Infrared sensing is generally used to save water in some public places, but the infrared sensing device generally controls whether the water flows out or not, and it is not easy to control the water flow, and the installation cost in the home is also high, which is not practical. Therefore, it is necessary to design a controllable water-saving faucet to solve the deficiencies of the prior art. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a controllable water-saving faucet.

[0006] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A controllable water-saving faucet, comprising a water control component and a main water pipe. Two sections of hoses are symmetrically installed on the main water pipe. A first sleeve is sleeved outside the hose. A screw rod is installed on the lower side wall of the first sleeve. A support rod is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the first sleeve. A support plate is fixedly installed at the top end of the support rod. An anti-slip layer is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support plate. Second sleeves are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the first sleeve. A first spiral spring is fixedly installed between the second sleeve and the support plate. Collars are symmetrically fixed on the side surface of the second sleeve. Screws are installed on the collars. The interior of the water control component includes a water passing tank. A secondary water pipe is fixedly installed at the upper end of the water passing tank. A valve is installed on the secondary water pipe. Through holes are evenly formed on the left and right side walls of the water passing tank. Water passing plates corresponding to the through holes are symmetrically fixed on the left and right side surfaces of the water passing tank. A water outlet pipe is fixedly installed on the outer side surface of the water passing plate. An end cover is installed at the lower end of the water passing tank. A second spiral spring is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the end cover. A sliding rod is sleeved inside the second spiral spring. A sliding plate is fixedly installed at the upper end of the sliding rod. A placement plate is fixedly installed at the lower end of the sliding rod.

[0008] Preferably, the anti-slip layer is made of nitrile rubber material and has a thickness greater than 5 mm.

[0009] Preferably, the elastic force provided by the first spiral spring is sufficient to enable the first sleeve to squeeze the hose. The hose is made of rubber material and is communicated with the main water pipe.

[0010] Preferably, the screw rod is in threaded cooperation with the first sleeve.

[0011] Preferably, the screw is in threaded cooperation with the collar.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0027] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , the present invention provides a technical solution:

[0029] A controllable water-saving faucet, including a water control component A and a main water pipe 9. Two sections of hoses 7 are symmetrically installed on the main water pipe 9. A first sleeve 4 is sleeved outside the hose 7. A screw rod 5 is installed on the lower side wall of the first sleeve 4. A support rod 3 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the first sleeve 4. A support plate 1 is fixedly installed at the top of the support rod 3. An anti-slip layer 2 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support plate 1. Second sleeves 8 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the first sleeve 4. A first spiral spring 6 is fixedly installed between the second sleeve 8 and the support plate 1. Collar rings 10 are symmetrically fixed to the side surfaces of the second sleeve 8. Screws 11 are installed on the collar rings 10. The inside of the water control component A includes a through water tank 14. A secondary water pipe 12 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the through water tank 14. A valve 13 is installed on the secondary water pipe 12. Through holes 16 are evenly opened on the left and right side walls of the through water tank 14. Water passing plates 15 corresponding to the through holes 16 are symmetrically fixed to the left and right side surfaces of the through water tank 14. A water outlet pipe 17 is fixedly installed on the outer side surface of the water passing plate 15. An end cover 22 is installed at the lower end of the through water tank 14. A second spiral spring 19 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the end cover 22. A sliding rod 20 is sleeved inside the second spiral spring 19. A sliding plate 18 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the sliding rod 20. A placing plate 21 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the sliding rod 20.

[0030] The anti-slip layer 2 is made of nitrile rubber material and has a thickness greater than 5 mm.

[0031] The elastic force provided by the first spiral spring 6 is sufficient to enable the first sleeve 4 to squeeze the hose 7. The hose 7 is made of rubber material and is communicated with the main water pipe 9.

[0032] The screw rod 5 is in threaded cooperation with the first sleeve 4.

[0033] The screw 11 is in threaded cooperation with the collar ring 10.

[0034] The secondary water pipe 12 is connected to the main water pipe 9.

[0035] The inside of the water passing plate 15 is hollowed out and communicated with the through hole 16. Communicating holes are evenly opened between the water outlet pipe 17 and the water passing plate 15. The lower end of the water outlet pipe 17 is open.

[0036] The placement plate 21 is a mesh plate structure and is made of stainless steel material.

[0037] The diameter of the sliding plate 18 is equal to the inner diameter of the water through tank 14, and a rubber pad is pasted on the sliding plate 18.

[0038] Operation steps: First, connect the main water pipe 9 to the water pipe pipeline so that the main water pipe 9 is located at the front side of the surface of the vegetable sink. At the same time, connect the main water pipe 9 to the auxiliary water pipe 12 so that the water control assembly A is located above the vegetable sink. When washing fruits or vegetables, the user first places the fruits or vegetables on the placement plate 21, and then places both arms on the supporting plates 1 on both sides respectively to squeeze the supporting plates 1. When squeezing the supporting plates 1, the first spiral spring 6 will be compressed, so that the hose 7 maintains the state shown in the figure. When one of the arms is lifted, the first spiral spring 6 on one side will push the supporting plate 1 upward, which can pull the first sleeve 4 and make the first sleeve 4 squeeze the hose 7, so that the main water pipe 9 stops supplying water. Only when both arms are placed on the supporting plates 1 on both sides respectively will the main water pipe 9 supply water, prompting the user to wash fruits and vegetables with both hands, which will increase the cleaning effect. When the squeezing force of the arms on the supporting plates 1 changes, the hose 7 is in a semi-collapsed state, and its instantaneous water flow will relatively decrease, corresponding to the change of the water flow. The fruits and vegetables placed on the placement plate 21 will pull the sliding rod 20 downward according to their own weight, and then drive the sliding plate 18 to slide downward. The heavier the fruits or vegetables, the more difficult they are to clean. At this time, the sliding plate 18 will be driven to slide downward to expose more through holes 16. The size of the water flow is controlled by the amount of the exposed through holes 16. The lower the sliding plate 18, the greater the water flow, so that large fruits and vegetables can be quickly rinsed. Because at the cross-section of the outlet position of the faucet, the more the through holes 16 leak out, the larger the cross-sectional area of the water supply, which will accordingly increase the water flow. Using the water pressure, the water is prompted to flow out to wash the vegetables. When the fruits and vegetables are small, fewer through holes will be exposed, and then the water flow flowing out of the water outlet pipe 17 will be reduced, so that the water flow can be reasonably controlled. Then, through the extrusion control of the arms on the supporting plates 1, the water outflow can be controlled, achieving the purpose of saving water resources.

[0039] This specific embodiment is only an explanation of the present invention, not a limitation of the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without creative contributions as needed, but as long as it is within the scope of the claims of the present invention, it is protected by the patent law.
