For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances. In the description of the above embodiments, specific features, structures, materials or characteristics can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0047] Example 1

[0048] like Figure 2-8 As shown, the outdoor drinking water platform includes a main body 13 and a control system arranged in the main body 13, wherein the main body 13 includes: drinking water tables 14 arranged on both sides of the main body 13, and the positions of the two drinking water tables 14 are at different heights; so as to facilitate use by users of different heights; each drinking water table 14 is provided with a water receiving basin 17 and two drinking water ports 19, and the drinking water ports 19 include a hot drinking water port and a cold drinking water port; the water spray port of the drinking water port 19 is inclined upward, and a pressure regulating device is provided at the same time, which is used to adjust the pressure and water output of the drinking water port; a water intake port 15 is provided on the front side of the main body 13, and the opening and closing of the water intake port 15 is controlled by a control valve 12; a control valve door 16 is provided outside the control valve 12 to facilitate control of the use authority of the water intake port, and a plurality of curved rings are provided in the water receiving basin 17, which is conducive to water flowing to the water receiving hole as soon as possible, and can effectively avoid splashing water.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, the control system includes: a control module 1 for receiving and outputting control signals; an infrared sensor 4 arranged below a drinking water table 14 at a higher position; a heater 2, a hot water pipe 9, a cold water pipe 10, a water supply pipe 6, a return pipe 7 and a sewage pipe 8 arranged in the body 13; the infrared sensor 4 and the heater 2 are electrically connected to the control module 1. One end of the water supply pipe 6 is connected to the water supply equipment, and the other end is divided into two branches through a valve 5, which are respectively connected to the heater 2 and the cold water pipe 10; the hot water output by the heater 2 is delivered to each hot drinking water outlet through the hot water pipe 9; the cold water output by the cold water pipe is connected to each cold drinking water outlet; one end of the return pipe 7 is connected to the water supply equipment, and the other end is divided into two branches, one of which is connected to the cold water pipe, and the other is connected to the output end of the heater 2 through the solenoid valve 11, and the solenoid valve 11 is electrically connected to the control module 1; the return pipe 7 drains the excess water in the cold water pipe and the hot water pipe to the water supply equipment, forming a flow loop to relieve water pressure and save water resources. The water inlet 15 is connected to the cold water pipe 10 through the control valve 12. Each water receiving basin 17 is provided with a water receiving hole 18, which is connected to the sewage pipe 8 for discharging sewage. The control system also includes a display 3, which is arranged at the rear side of the body 13 and is used to display water quality parameters.

[0050] The infrared sensor 4 is arranged below the higher drinking fountain 14 to make the sensing range larger. When someone approaches the drinking fountain 14, the infrared sensor 4 automatically sends a signal to the control module 1, and the control module 1 sends a signal to the heater 2, and the heater 2 heats according to the set temperature, and sends a signal to the solenoid valve 11 at the same time. After the solenoid valve 11 is opened, the hot water pipe 9 and the return water pipe 7 are connected to ensure that the water quality is flowing water quality; when the infrared sensor 4 detects that there is no person nearby, the heater 2 is automatically turned off to reduce energy waste; infrared induction heating is used, and there is no manual switch heating, which avoids the defect of energy waste caused by users forgetting to turn off the heating.

[0051] Because the sensing range of the infrared sensor 4 is limited, that is, there are blind spots in both direction and distance, the heater 2 is provided with a flow sensing module 21; when the infrared sensor 4 does not sense the user's position, the flow sensing module 21 collects the water flow signal in the hot water pipe 9. At this time, the flow sensing module 21 converts the collected flow signal into an electrical signal and sends it to the control module 1. The control module 1 then controls the heater 2 to start, thereby supplying hot water.

[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, for the water receiving basin 17, the water receiving basin 17 and the water receiving hole 18 are integrally formed, wherein three curved surface rings 22 are provided on the inner wall of the water receiving basin 17, and the width of the curved surface rings 22 gradually increases from the water receiving hole 18 to the outside; the distance between the curved surface rings 22 is the smallest at the end close to the water drinking hole 19 and the largest at the end far from the water drinking hole 19. This design conforms to fluid mechanics, and when the user is drinking water, the three curved surface rings 22 can help the water in the water receiving basin 17 flow to the water receiving hole 18 as quickly as possible and enter the sewage pipe.

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, for the drinking water outlet 19, each drinking water outlet 19 is provided with a water nozzle 20 and a water retaining platform 21, the water nozzle 20 is arranged obliquely upward, and the user changes the water output and pressure by controlling the pressure regulating device (not shown in the figure), and the water flows out from the water nozzle 20 in a parabolic shape and falls into the water receiving basin 17. The water retaining platform 21 is used to limit the height of the water flow when the water pressure is too high, so that the flow direction of the water flow can be controlled, which is convenient for users to use.

[0054] The water inlet 15 is set to facilitate users to fetch water for carrying; in order to effectively control the water inlet 15, for example, to prevent people from fetching water at night, or to open the water inlet 15 to cause water waste, a control valve 12 is added. When the water inlet 15 is open, water can be taken from it, and when it is closed, water cannot be taken from it. When the water inlet 15 needs to be controlled, the control valve 12 is turned off, and the door 16 of the control valve is locked. It can be opened again when needed to effectively control the water inlet 15. Specifically, the management personnel open the control valve 12 and lock the control valve door 16 every morning for users to use water at the water inlet; at night, the control valve 12 is closed and the control valve door 16 is locked to avoid energy waste caused by water leakage at night.

[0055] The control method of the outdoor drinking water platform comprises the following steps:

[0056] S1. After the control module 1 is powered on, when the infrared sensor 4 collects the sensing signal of the user approaching, it converts it into an electrical signal and sends it to the control module 1;

[0057] S2, the control module 1 controls the heater 2 and the solenoid valve 11 to open according to the electrical signal in S1; the water supply pipe 6 allows the drinkable water in the water treatment equipment to enter the heater 2 through the valve 5, and the heated hot water enters the hot drinking water outlet from the hot water pipe 9 according to the user's adjustment; if the water flow is too large, it can enter the return water pipe 7 through the solenoid valve 11; to ensure that the water quality is flowing water quality, avoid the unsanitary caused by the water quality not flowing for a long time, and ensure the safety of water use;

[0058] S3, when the infrared sensor 4 does not collect the sensing signal of the user approaching and the flow sensing module 21 collects the flow in the hot water pipe 9, the flow sensing module 21 converts the collected flow signal into an electrical signal and sends it to the control module 1;

[0059] S4, the control module 1 controls the heater 2 and the solenoid valve 11 to open according to the electrical signal in S3; the water supply pipe 6 allows the drinkable water in the water treatment equipment to enter the heater 2 through the valve 5, and the heated hot water enters the hot drinking water outlet from the hot water pipe 9 according to the user's adjustment; if the water flow is too large, it can enter the return water pipe 7 through the solenoid valve 11.

[0060] In the description of the above embodiments, specific features, structures, materials or characteristics may be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0061] The above are only specific embodiments of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
