[0031] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0032] See also Figure 1 The present invention provides an intelligent induction faucet that can realize dual-function water discharge. When switching the water discharge mode, the water does not need to completely rely on the faucet handle valve to turn the water on and off, and the induction water can be turned on and off. The intelligent induction faucet can be applied to various faucets. When its induction module fails, it is only necessary to replace the intelligent induction faucet without replacing the entire faucet. One water discharge mode of the intelligent induction faucet of the present invention is to discharge water through the water outlet, and the water discharge mode is also equipped with a micro-bubble generating device to achieve micro-bubbles mixed in the water to enhance the cleaning ability; another water discharge mode is to discharge water through the shower hole, and the shower hole can increase the impact force of the water flow, which is suitable for the needs of flushing scenarios, such as cleaning the sink, and can bring convenience to the user's life. The intelligent induction faucet can also be used in conjunction with a pull-out faucet, which can clean the dead corners of the sink, and the induction water discharge is easy to use. The structure of the intelligent induction faucet of the present invention is described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0033] See also Figure 1 , showing the structural schematic diagram of the intelligent induction faucet of the present invention. Figure 4 , showing a cross-sectional view of the first water delivery channel and the second water delivery channel of the intelligent induction faucet of the present invention. Figure 1 and Figure 4 , the structure of the intelligent sensing faucet of the present invention is described.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the intelligent sensing faucet 20 of the present invention includes a shell 21, a water outlet connector 22, a first switch valve 23, a second switch valve 24 and a sensing module 25. The shell 21 has a water inlet port 211 and a water outlet port 212 that are relatively arranged. A first water transfer channel 213 connected to the water inlet port 211 and a second water transfer channel 214 connected to the first water transfer channel 213 are provided in the shell 21. The water inlet port 211 is used to connect a faucet or a water pipe to allow external water to enter the shell 21. Water enters the first water transfer channel 213 from the water inlet port 211, and then enters the second water transfer channel 214 from the first water transfer channel 213. The water in the first water transfer channel 213 and the second water transfer channel 214 can both flow to the water outlet port 212 and then flow out from the water outlet port 212. The water outlet connector 22 is installed at the water outlet port 212 of the housing 21. The water outlet connector 22 is provided with a water outlet 221 connected to the first water delivery channel 213 and a shower hole 222 connected to the second water delivery channel 214. There are multiple shower holes 222 and they are arranged at the periphery of the water outlet 221. The water in the first water delivery channel 213 flows into the water outlet 221 and then flows out from the water outlet 221. The water in the second water delivery channel 214 flows into the shower hole 222 and then flows out from the shower hole 222. The first switch valve 23 is arranged in 21. The first switch valve 23 is arranged near the water outlet 221. Whether the water outlet 221 is connected to the first water delivery channel 213 is controlled by the first switch valve 23, that is, the first switch valve 23 can control whether water flows out of the water outlet 221. The second switch valve 24 is disposed in the housing 21, and is disposed near the second water delivery channel 214. The second switch valve 24 controls whether the second water delivery channel 214 is connected to the first water delivery channel 213, that is, the second switch valve 24 can control whether water flows out of the shower hole 222. The sensing module 25 is installed on the housing 21, and is connected to the first switch valve 23 and the second switch valve 24. The sensing module 25 can realize the sensing function. When the sensing module 25 senses that an object or a hand is approaching, a trigger signal is generated to the first switch valve 23 and the second switch valve 24 to control the operation of the first switch valve 23 and the second switch valve 24, thereby controlling the water outlet 221 and the shower hole 222 to discharge water, and realizing the sensing water discharge function.

[0035] The present invention realizes dual-function water outlet by setting two water delivery channels, and the function switching of the dual-function water outlet does not need to rely on a mechanical switch, and the inductive trigger can be realized through the inductive module. The intelligent inductive faucet and the faucet are split structures, and the faucet and the faucet are detachably connected. When damaged, the faucet can be directly replaced without replacing the entire faucet, which can save costs. In addition, the faucet can also be directly connected to the water pipe to realize inductive control of water outlet.

[0036] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the housing 21 is provided with a mounting groove 215 at the water outlet 221 corresponding to the water outlet joint 22, and a micro-bubble generating device 26 is installed in the mounting groove 215. The micro-bubble generating device 26 can generate micro-bubbles, and the particle size of the micro-bubbles is micrometer-level or nanometer-level. Figure 4 As shown, the water transported by the first water delivery channel 213 passes through the microbubble generating device 26 and then flows out from the water outlet 221 , so that the microbubbles generated by the microbubble generating device 26 are mixed into the water to form water mixed with microbubbles, and the water mixed with microbubbles flows out from the water outlet 221 .

[0037] By providing a microbubble generating device, microbubbles can be mixed in the water flowing out of the water outlet 221 to improve the cleaning ability. The microbubble generating device 26 in the present invention can adopt the Chinese utility model patent application number 202020293007.8, the utility model name is a micro-nano bubbler, and can also adopt the Chinese utility model patent application number 201821241466.0, the utility model name is a microbubble generator.

[0038] Preferably, the microbubble generating device 26 is threadedly connected in the mounting groove 215. The microbubble generator 26 is disposed above the water outlet 221 and is connected to the first liquid outlet of the first switch valve 23. When the first switch valve 23 is opened, water enters the microbubble generating device 26 from the first liquid outlet to form water mixed with microbubbles, and then flows out from the water outlet 221.

[0039] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a connection joint 27 is installed at the water inlet port 211 of the housing 21, and the connection joint 27 has a water inlet 271 and a communication channel communicating with the water inlet 271, and the communication channel is communicated with the first water delivery channel 213. The outer surface of the connection joint 27 is provided with an external thread, and the detachable connection of the intelligent induction faucet can be realized through the connection joint 27. The connection joint 27 is detachably connected to the faucet or the water delivery pipe through a threaded connection, and then the water in the faucet or the water delivery pipe enters from the water inlet 271, passes through the communication channel, and enters into the first water delivery channel 213.

[0040] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, a battery 28 is installed in the housing 21 , and the battery 28 is connected to the first switch valve 23 , the second switch valve 24 and the sensing module 25 . The battery 28 is used to power the first switch valve 23 , the second switch valve 24 and the sensing module 25 .

[0041] The storage battery 28 has a charging interface 281, and the charging interface 281 is disposed outside the housing 21. The storage battery 28 can be charged through the charging interface 281.

[0042] Preferably, the charging interface 281 is provided on the side of the connection joint 27. When the connection joint 27 is screwed on the faucet or the water pipe, the charging interface 281 is hidden in the threaded connection of the connection joint 27. When the battery 28 needs to be charged, the connection joint 27 can be unscrewed and connected to the power source through the charging cable to achieve charging. When the faucet is unscrewed, the faucet or the water pipe can be closed by a mechanical switch.

[0043] Furthermore, a circuit board 29 is installed in the housing 21, and the sensing module 25, the first switch valve 23, and the second switch valve 24 are all connected to the circuit board 29. The battery 28 is also connected to the circuit board 29, and a circuit structure is provided on the circuit board 29, through which the battery 28 can supply power to the sensing module 25, the first switch valve 23, and the second switch valve 24.

[0044] The circuit board 29 is also provided with a controller, which is connected to the sensing module 25 and is used to receive a sensing signal from the sensing module 25 , form a control signal based on the sensing signal, and control the operation of the first switch valve 23 and the second switch valve 24 .

[0045] Preferably, the sensing module 25 is a photoelectric sensing sensor, a human body capacitance sensing sensor, an infrared sensing sensor or a microwave sensing sensor. These sensors can sense the cyclic approach of a human body or an object to form a sensing signal.

[0046] Preferably, when the sensing module 25 senses that an object or a human body is approaching, a sensing signal is formed, and the sensing signal is sent to the controller. The controller forms a control signal and controls the first switch valve 23 to open and the second switch valve 24 to close. At this time, water flows out of the water outlet 221, and water does not flow out of the shower hole 222; when the sensing module 25 senses that an object or a human body is approaching again to form a sensing signal, the controller controls the first switch valve 23 to close and the second switch valve 24 to close after receiving the sensing signal, and water does not flow out of the faucet. When the sensing module 25 senses that an object or a human body is approaching again and forms a sensing signal, the controller controls the second switch valve 24 to open and the first switch valve 23 to close after receiving the sensing signal, and water does not flow out of the water outlet 221, and water flows out of the shower hole 222. When the sensing module 25 forms a sensing signal again, the controller controls the second switch valve 24 to close and the first switch valve 23 to close, and water does not flow out of the faucet. In this way, the controller and the sensing module cooperate to achieve the water discharge action triggered by induction, and the two water discharge functions operate alternately.

[0047] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the first water transfer channel 213 is connected to the first liquid inlet of the first switch valve 23, and the first liquid outlet of the first switch valve 23 is connected to the water outlet 221. The first switch valve 23 is opened when the power is turned on, so that the first liquid inlet and the first liquid outlet are connected, so that the water outlet 221 is connected to the first water transfer channel 213, and the water in the first water transfer channel 213 can flow out from the water outlet 221. The first switch valve 23 is closed when the power is turned off, so that the first liquid inlet and the first liquid outlet are not connected, so that the water in the first water transfer channel 213 will not flow into the first switch valve 23, and at this time, no water will flow out of the water outlet 221.

[0048] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, a first connecting branch 216 is provided in the middle of the first water conveying channel 213 and is connected thereto. The first connecting branch 216 is connected to the second liquid inlet of the second switch valve 24, and the second liquid outlet of the second switch valve 24 is connected to the second water conveying channel 214. The second switch valve 24 is opened when the power is turned on, so that the second liquid inlet and the second liquid outlet are connected, so that the second water conveying channel 214 and the first water conveying channel 213 are connected, and water flows out of the shower hole 222. The second switch valve 24 is closed when the power is turned off, so that the second liquid inlet and the second liquid outlet are not connected, the second water conveying channel 214 and the first water conveying channel 213 are not connected, and no water flows into the second water conveying channel 214, and no water flows out of the shower hole 222 at this time.

[0049] Preferably, the controller controls the opening and closing of the first switch valve 23 and the second switch valve 24 by controlling the on and off of electricity between the battery 28 and the first switch valve 23 and the second switch valve 24 .

[0050] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the first water conveying channel 213 and the second water conveying channel 214 are both arranged vertically, and the first water conveying channel 213 and the second water conveying channel 214 are arranged on both sides of the first switch valve 23 .

[0051] The housing 21 has assembly grooves corresponding to the first switch valve 23 and the second switch valve 24. The first switch valve 23 and the second switch valve 24 are connected in the corresponding assembly grooves by threads. To facilitate the installation of the first switch valve 23 and the second switch valve 24, the housing 21 is a split structure with upper and lower butt joints, and a sealing ring is provided at the butt joint to prevent water leakage.

[0052] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the end face of the water outlet port 212 is inclined, and the water outlet connector 22 is also installed on the housing 21 in an inclined shape. When the smart induction faucet is connected to a vertically arranged faucet or water pipe, the water outlet 221 and the shower hole 222 both discharge water obliquely. When using water in the kitchen sink, the oblique water discharge can be more convenient for cleaning and can also clean the sink. Especially when installed on a pull-out faucet, the dead corner of the sink can be flushed by pulling out the faucet, which can meet the needs of cleaning the dead corner of the sink.

[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the housing 21 is a cylindrical variable diameter structure, and the size gradually increases from the water inlet port 211 to the water outlet port 212. The water outlet connector 22 is a disc-shaped structure, and a water outlet 221 and a shower hole 222 are arranged on the disc. A threaded mounting portion is arranged on the back of the disc, and the housing 21 is connected to the housing 21 through a bolt mounting portion. The disc is sealed at the water outlet port 212, and an annular water groove is arranged on the back of the disc corresponding to the shower hole 222. The annular water groove is connected to each shower hole 222, and the annular water groove is also connected to the second water delivery channel 214. The second water delivery channel 214 delivers water to the annular water groove, and then delivers it to each shower hole 222 through the annular water groove.

[0054] The present invention is described in detail above in conjunction with the embodiments of the accompanying drawings. A person skilled in the art can make various variations of the present invention according to the above description.
