The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention and are therefore only examples and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

Figure 6 A schematic structural diagram of a water outlet system provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0028] The faucet includes a faucet body 100 , a bubbler 200 installed at the water outlet of the faucet body 100 , and an electric control handle 300 installed outside the faucet body 100 .

[0029] A water pipe 110 is provided within the faucet body 100 and is equipped with a solenoid valve 111. The water pipe 110 is connected to the water outlet of the faucet body 100, and the other end of the water pipe 110 is connected to an external water supply device 900. Specifically, the inlet of the water pipe 110 is connected to the water outlet of the faucet body 100, and the outlet of the water pipe 110 is connected to the water inlet of the water supply device 900.

[0030] The electric control handle 300 is electrically connected to the electromagnetic valve 111 and the water supply device 900. The user of the electric control handle 300 adjusts the switch and opening size of the electromagnetic valve 111 and controls the water supply device 900 to output water of different temperatures.

[0031] The electric control handle 300 is electrically connected to the solenoid valve 111 and the water supply device 900 . The electric control handle 300 is used to adjust the switch of the solenoid valve 111 and the size of the valve body opening of the solenoid valve 111 , as well as to adjust the temperature of the water output by the water supply device 900 .

[0032] The bubbler device 200 includes a driving assembly 210, a bubbler body 220, and a turntable 230 and a bubbler plate 240 that are fitted together. The end face of one end of the bubbler body 220 is provided with a plurality of water outlet holes 221, and the other end of the bubbler body 220 is fixed to the water outlet of the faucet body 100. The turntable 230 is provided with a plurality of first through holes 231, and the bubbler plate 240 is provided with a plurality of second through holes 241 that correspond one-to-one to the first through holes 231. The turntable 230 and the bubbler plate 240 are both located in the bubbler body 220, and the bubbler plate 240 is fixedly connected to the bubbler body 220. The driving assembly 210 is used to drive the turntable 230 to rotate relative to the bubbler plate 240 to adjust the size of the overlapping area of the first through holes 231 and the second through holes 241.

[0033] In this embodiment, the electric control handle 300 generally has a built-in gyroscope sensor that can sense the position information of the electric control handle 300 when it moves to different positions and generate corresponding electrical signals based on this position information. When the electric control handle 300 rotates to different positions, the generated electrical signals vary. Therefore, the gyroscope sensor controls the opening of the solenoid valve 111 and the water temperature of the water supply device 900 by using the electrical signals at different positions. The opening of the solenoid valve 111 corresponding to the different positions of the electric control handle 300 and the corresponding water temperature set in the water supply device 900 can be manually set. For example, when the electric control handle 300 rotates, only the temperature of the water in the water outlet device is changed. When the electric control handle 300 swings outward or inward, the opening of the solenoid valve 111 is changed. The electric control handle 300 controls the output water temperature of the water supply device 900 by triggering a controller inside or outside the water supply device 900 via an electrical signal to control a heater in the water supply device 900 to heat the water. When the solenoid valve 111 is opened, the water from the water supply device 900 can flow to the water outlet of the faucet body 100 through the water pipe 110; when the solenoid valve 111 is closed, the water from the water supply device 900 cannot flow to the water outlet of the faucet body 100 through the water pipe 110; when the opening and closing degrees of the solenoid valve 111 are different, the flow rate of water from the water supply device 900 flowing to the water outlet of the faucet body 100 through the water pipe 110 is also different, thereby realizing the control of water of different temperatures and flow rates through the electric control handle 300, meeting the user's needs for water temperature and water speed in different scenarios.

[0034] In addition, by setting the bubbling device 200, when the driving component 210 drives the turntable 230 to rotate relative to the bubbling disk 240, by changing the size of the overlapping area of the first through hole 231 and the second through hole 241, when the first through hole 231 and the second through hole 241 completely overlap, the overlapping area of the first through hole 231 and the second through hole 241 is in the maximum state; when the driving component 210 drives the turntable 230 to rotate relative to the bubbling disk 240, the first through hole 231 and the second through hole 241 will be misaligned. At this time, the first through hole 231 and the second through hole 241 are misaligned. The overlapping area of 241 becomes smaller, resulting in the water flow from the water outlet flowing through the overlapping area of the first through hole 231 and the second through hole 241 to the water outlet hole 221 of the bubbler body 220 becoming thinner and smaller. That is, the water from the water outlet of the faucet body 100 is refined and diverted through the overlapping area of the first through hole 231 and the second through hole 241, and then fully mixed with the air in the bubbler body 220, and then flows out through the water outlet 221 of the bubbler body 220, thereby adjusting the water bubbling rate so that the water can flow out evenly and dispersedly, preventing splashing and reducing water waste.

[0035] In the specific embodiment shown in the figure, the water supply pipe 110 includes a first water pipe 112 and a second water pipe 113. The second water pipe 113 is provided with a manual valve 114. One end of each of the first water pipe 112 and the second water pipe 113 is connected to the water outlet of the faucet body 100, and the other end of each of the first water pipe 112 and the second water pipe 113 is used to connect to the water supply device 900. A manual handle 400 is provided on the outside of the faucet body 100. The manual handle 400 is connected to the manual valve 114 and is used to control the opening and closing of the manual valve 114. The solenoid valve 111 is provided in the first water pipe 112.

[0036] In this embodiment, when the electronic handle 300 controls the solenoid valve 111 to open, water from the water supply device 900 flows through the first water pipe 112 to the water outlet of the faucet body 100. When the electronic handle 300 controls the solenoid valve 111 to close, water from the water supply device 900 cannot flow through the first water pipe 112 to the water outlet of the faucet body 100. The manual handle 400 is mechanically connected to the manual valve 114. When the manual valve 114 is opened by rotating the manual handle 400, water from the water supply device 900 can flow through the second water pipe 113 to the water outlet of the faucet body 100. When the manual valve 114 is closed by rotating the manual handle 400, water from the water supply device 900 cannot flow through the second water pipe 113 to the water outlet of the faucet body 100. By providing the first water pipe 112 and the second water pipe 113, the water outlet of the faucet can still be controlled by the manual handle 400 even when there is no power, preventing the faucet from being unable to be opened and used without power. When there is electricity, the water circuit can be electrically controlled to meet the user's water temperature and water speed requirements in multiple scenarios.

[0037] In the specific embodiment shown in the figure, a first mounting portion 120 and a second mounting portion 130 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the faucet body 100. The first mounting portion 120 is provided with a first mounting hole 121, and the second mounting portion 130 is provided with a second mounting hole 131. Both the first mounting hole 121 and the second mounting hole 131 are connected to the interior of the faucet body 100. An electric control handle 300 is fixed in the first mounting hole 121, with one end of the electric control handle 300 positioned outside the first mounting slot and the other end positioned within the faucet body 100 and electrically connected to the solenoid valve 111. A manual control handle 400 is mounted in the second mounting hole 131, with one end of the manual control handle 400 positioned outside the second mounting hole 131 and the other end extending into the faucet body 100 through the second mounting slot to mechanically connect to the manual valve 114.

[0038] In this embodiment, a first mounting portion 120 for mounting a hand-controlled handle 400 and a second mounting portion 130 for mounting the hand-controlled handle 400 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the faucet body 100, so that the electric control handle 300 and the hand-controlled handle 400 can be respectively installed on different sides of the faucet body 100, thereby avoiding interference between the electric control handles 300 and the electric control handles 300 during operation to cause erroneous operation, and at the same time helping to increase the user's operating space.

[0039] In the embodiment shown in the figure, the aerator body 220 is detachably connected to the water outlet of the faucet body 100. The detachable connection of the aerator body 220 to the water outlet of the faucet body 100 allows for cleaning, maintenance, and repair of the aerator body 220, the turntable 230, the aerator disc 240, and other components when the through-holes are blocked or damaged, thereby reducing the cost of use.

[0040] Specifically, the inner peripheral wall of the water outlet of the faucet body 100 is provided with a first internal thread, and the outer peripheral wall of one end of the bubbler body 220 is provided with a first external thread. The first external thread is adapted to the first internal thread, and the first external thread is screwed to the first internal thread so that the bubbler body 220 is screwed and fixed to the water outlet of the faucet body 100.

[0041] It can be understood that in other embodiments, the inner peripheral wall of the water outlet of the faucet body 100 may be provided with a first external thread, and the outer peripheral wall of one end of the bubbler body 220 may be provided with a first internal thread, and the first external thread is screwed to the first internal thread so that the bubbler body 220 is screwed and fixed to the water outlet of the faucet body 100.

[0042] In other embodiments, the bubbler body 220 may also be fixed to the water outlet of the faucet body 100 in a detachable manner such as snap connection.

[0043] In the specific embodiment shown in the figure, the turntable 230 is attached to the side of the bubble disc 240 away from the water outlet 221 of the bubble device 200, and the driving assembly 210 includes a motor 211, which is electrically connected to the water supply device 900. The motor 211 is located on the side of the turntable 230 away from the bubble disc 240, and the output shaft of the motor 211 is fixedly connected to the turntable 230, and the housing of the motor 211 is fixedly connected to the faucet body 100.

[0044] In this embodiment, the motor 211 can drive the turntable 230 to rotate a certain angle relative to the bubble disk 240, changing the overlapping area of the first through hole 231 of the turntable 230 and the second through hole 241 of the bubble disk 240. When the water supply device 900 provides different types of water, the main controller of the water supply device 900 can automatically adjust the bubble rate by driving the motor 211 to rotate a certain angle according to different water qualities.

[0045] In the specific embodiment shown in the figure, the driving assembly 210 also includes a rotating part 212, and the faucet body 100 is provided with an axial hole 140, which is connected to the water outlet of the faucet body 100; one end of the rotating part 212 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 211, and the other end of the rotating part 212 extends into the water outlet of the faucet body 100 through the axial hole 140 and is fixedly connected to the turntable 230. The rotating part 212 can rotate relative to the faucet body 100 in the axial hole 140, and a sealing ring is provided between the outer peripheral wall of the rotating part 212 and the inner peripheral wall of the axial hole 140.

[0046] In this embodiment, a rotating member 212 is provided. Since the output shaft of the motor 211 is fixed to the rotating member 212 at one end of the water outlet of the faucet body 100, and the other end of the rotating member 212 extends into the water outlet of the faucet body 100 through the shaft hole 140 and is connected to the turntable 230, a sealing ring is provided between the outer peripheral wall of the rotating member 212 and the inner peripheral wall of the shaft hole 140, so that the water at the water outlet does not flow to the motor 211 through the shaft hole 140, thereby achieving the goal that the motor 211 does not need to be provided in the water outlet of the faucet body 100, thereby avoiding a short circuit of the motor 211.

[0047] It is understandable that the drive assembly 210 may not include the rotating part 212, and the faucet body 100 does not need to be provided with the shaft hole 140. The motor 211 can be a waterproof motor 211, so that the motor 211 can be placed inside the water outlet of the faucet body 100, and the turntable 230 is directly driven to rotate through the output shaft of the motor 211.

[0048] Specifically, the rotating member 212 includes a baffle 2121 and an outer cylinder 2122. A first groove for fixedly connecting to the output shaft of the motor 211 is provided in the middle of one side of the baffle 2121. The other side of the baffle 2121, which is away from the first groove, is fixedly connected to one end of the outer cylinder 2122. The outer peripheral wall of the outer cylinder 2122, which is close to one end of the baffle 2121, is provided with an annular groove 2123 surrounding the outer cylinder 2122. The outer cylinder 2122 is away from the baffle 2121. The other end of 21 is provided with a plurality of limit blocks 2124 arranged in a circle, and a connecting column 2125 for fixedly connecting with the turntable 230 is provided in the outer cylinder 2122. The outer cylinder 2122 is located in the shaft hole 140, and the side of the baffle 2121 facing the outer cylinder 2122 abuts against the outer wall of the shaft hole 140 away from the faucet outlet. The limit blocks 2124 abut against the wall of the other end of the shaft hole 140, thereby realizing the installation of the rotating member 212 in the shaft hole 140. Among them, the sealing ring is arranged in the annular groove 2123, and the sealing ring is partially embedded in the annular groove 2123, and the other end part of the sealing ring is located outside the annular groove 2123 and is squeezed into contact with the inner wall surface of the shaft hole 140, so that when the outer tube 2122 of the rotating part 212 rotates relative to the faucet body 100 in the shaft hole 140, the water in the faucet body 100 will not flush the gap between the outer peripheral wall of the outer tube 2122 and the inner peripheral wall of the shaft hole 140 and leak to the motor 211.

[0049] A protrusion 232 is provided on the other side of the turntable 230 facing away from the bubbling disk 240 . The protrusion 232 is provided with a groove for fixedly connecting with the connecting post 2125 . The connecting post 2125 is inserted into the groove and fixedly connected with the bubbling disk 240 .

[0050] The inner wall of the bubbler body 220 is provided with a supporting step 222, and a blocking block 2221 is provided on the supporting step 222. The outer periphery of the bubbler disk 240 is provided with a notch 242 adapted to the blocking block 2221. The edge of the bubbler disk 240 facing away from the turntable 230 abuts against the supporting step 222, and the notch 242 is engaged with the blocking block 2221, so that the bubbler disk 240 is fixed in the bubbler body 220.

[0051] In some embodiments, the drive assembly 210 further includes a motor mounting bracket 213. Several support columns are also provided within the faucet body 100. The motor mounting bracket 213 is fixedly connected to the housing of the motor 211, and the motor mounting bracket 213 is fixedly connected to the support columns. The housing of the motor 211 and the motor mounting bracket 213, as well as the motor mounting bracket 213 and the support columns, can be secured by screws or other means to facilitate subsequent disassembly, maintenance, or replacement.

[0052] In the specific embodiment shown in the figure, the faucet also includes a touch device 500, the touch device 500 includes a touch screen 510 and a controller (not shown in the figure), the controller is electrically connected to the touch screen 510, the solenoid valve 111, the drive assembly 210 and the water supply device 900, respectively, the touch screen 510 is used to display water supply information, and the water output type of the water supply device 900 is adjusted by the controller.

[0053] The water information displayed on touchscreen 510 refers to the water temperature, water pressure, and water type (including but not limited to tap water, purified water, soft water, hydrogen-rich water, and pure water) flowing from water supply device 900 through water pipe 110 or second water pipe 113 to the outlet of faucet body 100. For example, the display may display: Water Type: Tap Water, Water Temperature: 30°C, Water Pressure: 0.4 MPa. Furthermore, touchscreen 510 can also be used to display parameters such as the foaming rate and time of the foaming device 200.

[0054] The touch screen 510 adjusts the water output type of the water supply device 900 through the controller, which means that the user can perform touch operations according to the control icons on the touch screen 510 through the graphical user interface on the touch screen 510, and control the switch of the solenoid valve 111 or the opening and closing degree of the solenoid valve 111 to control the water flow rate through the controller. The controller can control the motor 211 of the drive component 210 to rotate a certain angle to change the foaming rate of the foaming device 200, and the controller can control the water supply device 900 to provide tap water, purified water, soft water, hydrogen-rich water, pure water and other types of water at different temperatures.

[0055] In this embodiment, by providing the touch screen 510 and the controller, the user can intuitively perform control settings according to the content information displayed on the touch screen 510, which is convenient for user use and improves the user experience.

[0056] In the specific embodiment shown in the figure, the faucet also includes an NFC identifier 600, which is electrically connected to the solenoid valve 111 and the water supply device 900. The NFC identifier 600 is used to identify household items such as cups, toothbrushes, and towels that carry electronic tags by contact, read the preset information in the electronic tags, and control the opening and closing of the solenoid valve 111 and the water type of the water supply device 900 based on the preset information read. The preset information in the electronic tags refers to parameter information such as water temperature and water type that is digitally stored in the electronic tags based on the water requirements of the specific application scenario of the household items carrying the electronic tags.

[0057] As an example, when the user brings the electronic tag on the water cup close to the NFC identifier 600 of the faucet, the information built into the electronic tag of the water cup is water temperature: 20°C, water type: hydrogen-rich water. After the NFC identifier 600 recognizes the information of the electronic tag, it will open the solenoid valve 111 and transmit the relevant information to the water supply device 900, so that the water supply device 900 will transport hydrogen-rich water to the water pipe 110. The hydrogen-rich water will then be bubbled by the bubbler 200 and flow to the outside, thereby providing the user with the required water.

[0058] In this embodiment, by providing the NFC identifier 600, the user can control the switch of the solenoid valve 111 in the faucet according to the household items with electronic tags, and supply the water required by the household items through the water supply device 900, which is convenient and quick to operate.

[0059] In the embodiment shown in the figure, a support frame 150 is further provided on the top of the faucet body 100. The support frame 150 is provided with a first mounting slot and a second mounting slot. The NFC identifier 600 is installed in the first mounting slot, and the touch screen 510 and the controller are installed in the second mounting slot. The support frame 150 can be detachably connected to the faucet body or integral with the faucet body. Preferably, the support frame 150 is detachably connected to a cover mounted on the top of the faucet body.

[0060] In this embodiment, a support frame 150 for supporting and installing the NFC identifier 600 and the touch device 500 is provided on the top of the faucet body 100, so that the user can perform NFC touch recognition and touch operation on the top of the faucet body 100, which is convenient for the user.

[0061] Specifically, the upper surface of the support frame 150 is further covered with a transparent panel 160 , so that the NFC identifier 600 and the touch device are located between the transparent panel 160 and the support frame 150 , thereby preventing the NFC identifier 600 and the touch device from being exposed and protecting them.

[0062] In the specific embodiment shown in the figure, the faucet also includes an infrared sensing device 700, which is arranged on the outside of the faucet body 100 at a position corresponding to the water outlet of the faucet body 100, and the infrared sensing device 700 is electrically connected to the solenoid valve 111 and the water supply device 900.

[0063] Among them, the infrared sensing device 700 is used to sense whether the user is close to the water outlet of the faucet. When the user is close to the faucet at a distance less than or equal to a preset distance, the infrared sensing device 700 will control the solenoid valve 111 to open, so that the water of the water supply device 900 can flow to the water outlet of the faucet body 100 through the water pipe 110. After the solenoid valve 111 is opened for a predetermined time and the user is close to the faucet at a distance greater than a preset distance, the solenoid valve 111 will automatically close.

[0064] In addition, it should be noted that when the time interval between the last time the faucet was closed and the time the infrared sensor device 700 opened the solenoid valve 111 is less than a preset time interval, the water supply device 900 will discharge water according to the water output parameters used last time. For example, if the time between the last time the solenoid valve 111 was opened and the last time the solenoid valve 111 was closed is greater than 2 minutes, the water supply device 900 will discharge water according to the water output type used last time. The preset time interval and the time when the solenoid valve 111 is opened and closed can be set, recorded, and compared by a controller within the water supply device 900 or an external controller, and are not specifically limited here.

[0065] It is understandable that the infrared sensing device 700 can also be electrically connected to the controller of the touch device 500. The controller of the touch device 500 can set the preset time length, record the time point of the switch of the solenoid valve 111, and compare the time point of each opening of the solenoid valve 111 body and the time length of the last closing with the preset time length, and control the water supply device 900 to deliver water based on the comparison result.

[0066] In this embodiment, by providing the infrared sensing device 700 , the user can make the faucet flow water by simply approaching the infrared sensing device 700 without having any specific water needs.

[0067] In the specific embodiment shown in the figure, a water collection tank 170 is provided within the faucet body 100. The water collection tank 170 has an inlet and an outlet. The inlet is connected to the end of the water supply pipe 110 that is not connected to the water supply device 900. That is, the inlet of the water collection tank 170 is connected to the outlets of the first water pipe 112 and the second water pipe 113, and the outlet of the water collection tank 170 is connected to the outlet of the faucet body 100. The faucet also includes an ultraviolet germicidal lamp (not shown) disposed within the water collection tank 170. In this embodiment, by providing the water collection tank 170 and the ultraviolet germicidal lamp installed within the water collection tank 170, water flowing from the water supply device 900 through the first water pipe 112 or the second water pipe 113 of the water supply pipe 110 into the water collection tank 170 is sterilized. The water then flows through the outlet of the water collection tank 170 to the outlet of the faucet body 100, thereby reducing the number of pathogens in the water and improving the water quality.

[0068] In other embodiments, the water pipe 110 uses a transparent rubber hose, that is, the first water pipe 112 and the second water pipe 113 use transparent water pipes, and the ultraviolet germicidal lamp is arranged in the faucet body 100 at a position corresponding to the first water light and the second water pipe 113. At this time, the ultraviolet germicidal lamp does not need to come into contact with water, and the ultraviolet germicidal lamp does not need to be waterproof. It can also avoid short circuits caused by direct contact with water, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the ultraviolet germicidal lamp.

[0069] In the embodiment shown in the figure, the bottom of the faucet body 100 is also provided with a connection port, within which is mounted a connecting flange 180 with a through-hole for securing external connectors. The other end of the water pipe 110, not connected to the water outlet of the faucet body 100, extends out of the through-hole and connects to the water supply device 900. In other words, the water inlet ends of the first water pipe 112 and the second water pipe 113 extend out of the through-hole and connect to the water supply device 900.

[0070] In this embodiment, a connection flange 180 is provided at the connection port of the faucet body 100 to facilitate installation and fixation of the faucet with a connecting member such as a connecting rod via the connection flange 180. Furthermore, the provision of a through hole in the flange eliminates the need for separate openings in the faucet body 100 for connecting the first and second water pipes 112, 113 to an external water supply.

[0071] Specifically, the faucet body 100 includes a transverse section 190 and a longitudinal section 195. One end of the transverse section 190 is integrally connected to one end of the longitudinal section 195 to form a 7-shaped structure. The interior of the transverse section 190 and the interior of the longitudinal section 195 are interconnected. The water outlet of the faucet body 100 is located at the bottom of the other end of the transverse section 190, and the touch control device 500 is located at the top of the transverse section 190. The connection port is located at the other end of the longitudinal section 195, that is, at the bottom of the longitudinal section 195. The first mounting portion 120 and the second mounting portion 130 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the longitudinal section 195. The infrared sensor 700 is located on the side of the longitudinal section 195 opposite the water outlet of the faucet body 100.

[0072] It is understandable that in other embodiments, the infrared sensing device 700 can also be set at the bottom of the transverse section 190 at a distance from the water outlet of the faucet body 100, or at other positions that do not affect its use. Similarly, the infrared sensing device 700 and the connection port can also be set at other positions of the transverse section 190 or the longitudinal section 195.

[0073] In another aspect of the present invention, an embodiment of a water outlet control system is also provided. The water outlet control system includes a water supply device 900 and a faucet in the above embodiment. The water outlet of the water supply device 900 is connected to the water inlet of the water pipe 110, that is, the water outlet of the water supply device 900 is connected to the water inlet of the first water pipe 112 and the second water pipe 113, respectively, and the water supply device 900 and the electrical components of the faucet are electrically connected.
