Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bathrooms, and in particular to an induction kitchen faucet. Background Art

[0002] At present, induction faucets have been widely used in water supply systems such as kitchens. Induction faucets are usually provided with induction windows, and the general induction windows include a mounting opening and a sensor fixedly arranged at the mounting opening.

[0003] However, the kitchen faucets on the market are only equipped with a single induction window switch, which makes its triggering method unique and difficult to use multiple types of induction methods in one. For example, when instant induction is required for water discharge, water can be discharged instantly for a period of time when the user triggers it. When water needs to be used for a long time after induction, water can be discharged for a long time until the sink is full when the user triggers it. In terms of function, only one operation can be selected, and the two induction methods cannot be well combined. Summary of the invention

[0004] Furthermore, at present, the sensor window is usually installed and fixed by glue dispensing. However, this method can easily cause the sensor to detach from the installation port, which has the defect of inconvenient installation. In addition, the installed sensor window is not easy to disassemble for maintenance, and the cost of disassembly and assembly is relatively high. In particular, there are more and more sensor faucets on the market, and the sensor window is placed on the bracket. It is often difficult to assemble the sensor window and its circuit due to insufficient faucet space, and the rotation of the faucet will drive the sensor window and its circuit to move, so a better installation structure is needed to support and protect the internal circuit. However, since the setting of the sensor window of the bracket involves the problem that the sensor window and its circuit must rotate with the bracket, there are also difficulties such as the bracket threading, which need to be solved urgently.

[0005] In view of this, an object of the present invention is to provide an induction kitchen faucet to solve the above problems.

[0006] The present invention adopts the following scheme:

[0010] As a further improvement, the bracket forms a plugging portion with a mounting opening at its end, and the plugging portion is fitted and adapted to the top opening of the seat body; wherein, the inner end side of the mounting frame is adapted to be embedded and docked in the mounting opening.

[0011] As a further improvement, the plugging portion protrudes from the lower end side of the bracket, and a plurality of lining sets are sleeved on the outer side of the plugging portion. The lining sets are in a C-shaped member structure conducive to the entry of the circuit, and an arc-shaped boss for the circuit to lean on is provided on the inner side of the lining set corresponding to the mounting opening.

[0012] As a further improvement, a wire sleeve for guiding a plurality of circuits is installed inside the seat body; wherein, the wire sleeve is at least provided with a first wire groove for guiding the circuit of the first induction window, a second wire groove for guiding the circuit of the second induction window, and a third wire groove for the circuit of the valve core.

[0013] As a further improvement, the wire sleeve is in a special-shaped long strip structure, and a guiding hole for the inlet water pipe to pass through and be plugged is formed through the middle of the wire sleeve; each wire groove engages its affiliated circuit in a partially wrapped and clamped manner and is regularly arranged around the outer peripheral side of the wire sleeve.

[0014] As a further improvement, the inlet water pipe is connected to the water inlet ends of the valve core and the valve seat, the outlet water pipe is connected to the water outlet ends of the valve core and the valve seat, and one end of the water nozzle pipe far from the extraction head is fixedly plugged on the bracket through a water inlet rod and is connected to the water outlet end.

[0015] As a further improvement, the wire sleeve is adjacently arranged to the first induction window, and the wire sleeve is configured to be able to support and limit the first induction window at the corresponding position in the seat body.

[0016] As a further improvement, it further includes a central control box for electrically connecting to the first induction window, the second induction window, and the valve core.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] Embodiment

[0036] Combined with Figures 1 to 12 , this embodiment provides an induction kitchen faucet, which includes a faucet body having a seat body 1 and a bracket 2. A control handle 3, a valve core 4, a valve seat 5, a water inlet pipeline 6, and a water outlet pipeline 7 are provided on the seat body 1. The water outlet pipeline 7 is provided with a water nozzle pipe 8 and a pumping head 9, and the pumping head 9 is detachably connected and configured on the bracket 2. Among them, the induction kitchen faucet further includes an induction module. The induction module includes a first induction window 10 disposed on one side of the seat body 1 and a second induction window 11 disposed on one side of the bracket 2. The first induction window 10 is disposed at a side of the seat body 1 suitable for triggering recognition by the user (as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 ), and the second induction window 11 is disposed at the lower side of the bracket 2 (as shown in Figure 6 ).

[0037] For the above-mentioned induction kitchen faucet, in addition to being equipped with a mechanical handle switch on the seat body 1, which is correspondingly linked with the valve core 4 to control the water outlet of the water outlet pipeline 7 at the pumping head 9, and on the side of the seat body 1, the configured first induction window 10 can be suitable for triggering recognition by the user in a triggering induction manner to control the water outlet. In addition, on the lower side of the bracket 2, the configured second induction window 11 can also be further triggered and recognized by the user in a triggering induction manner, so as to control the water outlet through three selectable methods, improving the diversity and convenience of operation. And the two equipped induction windows can respectively adopt different types of induction water outlet control methods, significantly improving the compatibility and feasibility of the faucet water outlet.

[0038] Such as Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, the bracket 2 can rotate relative to the base 1. It is provided with an internal mounting frame 12 for restricting the second induction window 11 at its triggerable recognition position, and the mounting frame 12 is configured to be snap-fitted with the bracket 2. Among them, the outer end side of the mounting frame 12 is configured to be barb-docked with the inner wall of the bracket 2 (as Figure 6 shown), its inner end side is configured to be embedded in the bracket 2. The main body of the mounting frame 12 is provided with a circuit guide groove 13 for the second induction window 11, and the circuit guide groove 13 is arranged to be in communication with the inner end side. Thus, the mounting frame 12 is stably and efficiently restricted inside the bracket 2.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom surface of the mounting frame 12 is the bottom surface of the bracket 2. Thus, the mounting frame 12 is assembled into the bracket 2 in the above manner to form a part of the bracket 2, improving the efficient assembly between the two. Further, the second induction window 11 is directly equipped on the mounting frame 12 and is more convenient for the user to trigger and recognize in the form of a perspective window.

[0040] More specifically, the bracket 2 forms a plug-in portion 14 with a mounting opening 15 at its end. The plug-in portion 14 is fitted and mated with the top opening of the base 1. Among them, the inner end side of the mounting frame 12 is adapted to be embedded and docked in the mounting opening 15. Further, the plug-in portion 14 protrudes on the lower end side of the bracket 2, and a plurality of lining kits 16 are sleeved on the outside of the plug-in portion 14. The lining kits 16 are in a C-shaped member structure that is beneficial for the circuit to enter, and the lining kits 16 are provided with arc-shaped bosses 17 for the circuit to lean on at the inner side corresponding to the mounting opening 15. Thus, the plug-in portion 14 with the mounting opening 15 is enclosed by the C-shaped member structure, which is convenient for quickly accommodating the circuit into its interior when the two are separated from each other, and encloses the circuit in the plug-in portion 14 when the two are embedded, significantly improving the disassembly, installation and maintenance of the circuit.

[0041] In the above, in order to cooperate with the movement of the extraction head 9 and the rotation of the bracket 2, the second induction window 11 arranged in the bracket 2 is detachably accommodated at its installation position through a mounting frame 12. One end of the mounting frame 12 is inserted into the inner wall of the bracket 2 in a barb-docked manner, and the other end is configured to be embedded in the plug-in portion 14 of the bracket 2. And the main body of the mounting frame 12 is correspondingly provided with a circuit guide groove 13 for the induction window circuit, which can better ensure that the circuit is more smooth during follow-up movement and serves the purpose of supporting and protecting the circuit.

[0042] As Figure 2 and Figures 7 to 10As shown, in this embodiment, a wire sleeve 18 for guiding a plurality of lines is installed inside the seat body 1. Among them, the wire sleeve 18 is provided with at least a first wire groove 19 for guiding the line of the first induction window 10, a second wire groove 20 for guiding the line of the second induction window 11, and a third wire groove 21 for the line of the valve core 4. Further, the wire sleeve 18 has a special-shaped long strip structure, and a guiding hole 22 for the water inlet pipe 6 to pass through and be inserted is formed through the middle of the wire sleeve 18. Each wire groove engages its assigned line in a partially wrapped and clamped manner and is regularly arranged around the outer peripheral side of the wire sleeve 18.

[0043] In this embodiment, the wire sleeve 18 is adjacently arranged with the first induction window 10, and the wire sleeve 18 is configured to be able to support and limit the first induction window 10 at the corresponding position in the seat body 1. Thus, the wire sleeve 18 is also installed inside the seat body 1 mentioned above, and the wire sleeve 18 is provided with the guiding hole 22 and a plurality of wire grooves. Thus, on the one hand, the water inlet pipe 6 can be easily installed and connected through the guidance of the wire sleeve 18, which is beneficial to the installation of the water pipe, solves the problem that it is not conducive to installing the water pipe due to the relatively deep depth of the seat body 1, provides a guiding function, and is convenient for quick assembly. On the other hand, the lines of each induction window are protected by the wire grooves to prevent the lines from being scratched and damaged when the body moves and rotates. And the lines of each induction window and the line of the valve core 4 can be effectively sorted out. In particular, the wire sleeve 18 is adjacently arranged with the first induction window 10 to achieve the effect of supporting and limiting the first induction window 10, and can effectively prevent the first induction window 10 from being squeezed into the seat body 1 by external force and losing restraint.

[0044] As Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, in a preferred embodiment, the length of the first wire groove 19 is less than the length of the second wire groove 20, and the first wire groove 19 is arranged in the middle of the wire sleeve 18 along the length direction, and its top forms a limit for the first induction window 10. The second wire groove 20 is formed in most of the length direction on the other side of the guiding sleeve 18. The length and configuration of the third wire groove 21 are equivalent to those of the first wire groove 19, and the two are arranged opposite to each other on the outer side of the wire sleeve 18.

[0045] It should be noted that the water inlet pipe 6 is connected to the water inlet ends of the valve core 4 and the valve seat 5, the water outlet pipe 7 is connected to the water outlet ends of the valve core 4 and the valve seat 5, and one end of the water nozzle pipe 8 far from the extraction head 9 is fixedly inserted on the bracket 2 through a water inlet rod 23 and is connected to the water outlet end. Obviously, for the water connection of the water nozzle pipe 8 with the water inlet rod 23, the valve core 4 and the water inlet pipe 6, and the magnetic connection of the extraction head 9 on the bracket 2, no further description is given here.

[0046] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, it further includes a central control box 24 electrically connected to the first induction window 10, the second induction window 11, and the valve core 4, and the central control box 24 is connected to each electrical component through circuits. Among them, the first induction window 10 is configured in an immediate induction mode, and the second induction window 11 is configured in an intermittent induction mode. Thus, there are two different induction windows, and different types of induction water outlet control methods are adopted, significantly improving the compatibility and feasibility of the faucet water outlet.

[0047] It should be understood that the central control box 24 can implement electromagnetic on-off control on the valve core 4, so as to further control the water outlet of the valve core 4 after receiving the signals fed back by the corresponding induction window. In addition, the control handle 3 is mechanically linked to the valve core 4, and the valve core 4 is installed in the valve seat 5. For the specific installation and cooperation between the valve core 4 and the valve seat 5, it is the prior art and will not be limited too much.

[0048] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the idea of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
