Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of intelligent sanitary ware, and in particular to an induction control circuit, method, electronic device and medium for water outlet sanitary ware. Background Art

[0002] In the field of automatic water-dispensing sanitary ware, an induction electric eye uses the principle of infrared light reflecting off a target object to determine whether there is an object in front of it. A microprocessor then sends instructions to control the opening or closing of a solenoid valve, thereby controlling the flow of water from the faucet. The maximum sensing distance of existing induction electric eyes on the market is pre-set by the manufacturer.

[0003] However, due to the unique and uncertain environments in which water-dispensing sanitary fixtures are used, it's difficult to accurately determine the distance an obstacle has moved. This often leads to abnormal water flow and inability to automatically shut off the water. Furthermore, there are cases where the sensor eye will continue to dispense water after sensing an object. Existing solutions require manual removal of the object before stopping the water flow, resulting in wasted water resources and requiring real-time manual monitoring, which consumes human resources.

[0040] In addition, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0041] The present invention provides an induction control circuit, method, electronic device and medium for a water outlet sanitary ware. According to the technical solution of the present application, the water outlet sanitary ware includes a water outlet device, a sensing device and a water channel control device, and the sensing device is connected to the water outlet device and the water channel control device respectively. The induction control circuit includes a controller connected to the sensing device. The controller is used to sense the presence of an obstacle within the sensing range of the sensing device, determine the initial position of the obstacle through the sensing device, and continuously monitor the moving distance of the obstacle relative to the initial position, so as to accurately judge the movement of the obstacle. The controller is also used to control the water channel control device to close when the duration of the moving distance being less than a preset distance is greater than the preset duration, thereby realizing real-time judgment of the moving distance of the obstacle and avoiding continuous water discharge.

[0042] The embodiments of the present application are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of an induction control circuit of a water outlet sanitary ware provided in one embodiment of the present invention.

[0044] In some embodiments, the water outlet sanitary ware includes a water outlet device 100, a sensing device 200, and a waterway control device 300, wherein the waterway control device 300 is connected to the water outlet device 100 and the sensing device 200 respectively; the sensing control circuit 400 includes:

[0045] The controller 410 is connected to the sensing device 200. When an obstacle is sensed within the sensing range of the sensing device 200, the controller 410 is used to determine the initial position of the obstacle through the sensing device 200 and continuously monitor the movement distance of the obstacle relative to the initial position. The controller 410 is also used to control the waterway control device 300 to shut down when the duration of the movement distance being less than the preset distance is greater than the preset duration.

[0046] It should be noted that the water outlet sanitary ware further includes a sensor housing 600 , and the sensing control circuit 400 is assembled in the sensor housing 600 , thereby protecting the sensing control circuit 400 , achieving waterproof and moisture-proof properties, and protecting the sensing control circuit 400 from normal operation.

[0047] It is worth noting that the sensing device 200 in this embodiment includes an infrared transmitting module 210 and an infrared receiving module 220. Both the infrared transmitting module 210 and the infrared receiving module 220 are connected to the sensing control circuit 400. The infrared transmitting module 210 is used to transmit a sensing signal to measure whether there is an obstacle, and the infrared receiving module 220 is used to receive the signal returned by the obstacle, thereby determining the position of the obstacle.

[0048] It can be understood that the water outlet device can be a faucet, water outlet channel or other water outlet device, the sensing device can be an induction electric eye, infrared electric eye or other sensing equipment, and the water channel control device can be a solenoid valve, pneumatic valve, etc. This embodiment does not make specific restrictions.

[0049] In some embodiments, the water outlet sanitary appliance further includes a power adapter 500 for outputting a power supply voltage, and the power supply voltage is used to power the induction control circuit 400, thereby ensuring that the water outlet sanitary appliance can work for a long time.

[0050] It should be noted that the power adapter can convert 220V AC power into 6V power supply voltage, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the water outlet sanitary ware.

[0051] It is understandable that the power adapter 500 and the waterway control device 300 are both electrically connected.

[0052] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of an induction control circuit 400 provided in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

[0053] In some embodiments, the sensing control circuit 400 also includes a voltage conversion module 460 and a solenoid valve drive module 420. The voltage conversion module 460 is connected to the power adapter and the solenoid valve drive module 420, respectively. The voltage conversion module 460 is used to convert the supply voltage to power the sensing control circuit 400. The solenoid valve drive module 420 is connected to the voltage conversion module 460 and the water path control device 300, respectively. The solenoid valve drive module 420 is used to control the working state of the water path control device 300 according to the instructions of the controller 410, so as to control the opening or closing of the water path control device 300 and realize the water outlet device 100 to output or shut off water.

[0054] It should be noted that the voltage conversion module 460 is used to convert the 6V supply voltage into a 3.3V operating voltage to power the induction control circuit 400, and the electromagnetic driving module is powered by 6V.

[0055] In some embodiments, the sensing control circuit 400 also includes an electronic switch module 430, an amplifying circuit module 440, and a timer module 450. The electronic switch module 430 is connected to the amplifying circuit module 440 and the controller 410, respectively. The electronic switch module 430 is used to adjust the sensing range of the sensing device 200. The timer module 450 is connected to the amplifying circuit module 440 and the controller 410. The timer module 450 is used for timing. The amplifying circuit module 440 is connected to the sensing device 200, thereby achieving adjustment of the sensing distance of the sensing device 200.

[0056] It should be noted that the electronic switch module 430 includes multiple groups of adjustment switches. By controlling different groups of switches to control the amplification circuit module 440 to adjust the amplification factor of the infrared signal to different degrees, the sensing range of the sensing device 200 is changed. The timer module 450 performs timing in the sensing control circuit 400, for example, timing the time the obstacle stays, timing the sensing time, timing the time when no obstacle is sensed, etc. This embodiment does not impose specific restrictions.

[0057] Based on the structure of the aforementioned induction control circuit 400 for the water outlet sanitary appliance, various embodiments of the induction control method for the water outlet sanitary appliance of the present invention are proposed.

[0058] like Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a flow chart of an inductive control method for a water outlet sanitary appliance provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The inductive control method for the water outlet sanitary appliance can be applied to the controller 410 of the inductive control circuit of the water outlet sanitary appliance. The inductive control method for the water outlet sanitary appliance includes but is not limited to step S101 and step S102.

[0059] Step S101: When an obstacle is detected within the sensing range of the sensing device, the initial position of the obstacle is determined by the sensing device, and the movement distance of the obstacle relative to the initial position is continuously detected;

[0060] In some embodiments, when an obstacle is sensed within the sensing range of the sensing device, the initial position of the obstacle is determined by the infrared transmitting module and the infrared receiving module in the sensing device, and the movement distance of the obstacle relative to the initial position is continuously detected, so as to determine whether the obstacle has moved and whether the waterway control device should be closed subsequently, thereby realizing real-time detection of the obstacle.

[0061] Step S102: When the duration of the movement distance being less than the preset distance is greater than the preset duration, the waterway control device is controlled to be closed.

[0062] In some embodiments, when the duration of the moving distance being less than the preset distance is greater than the preset duration, it means that the obstacle has been fixed in position for a long time, and it is necessary to control the water channel control device to close, thereby closing the water outlet device to avoid waste of water resources.

[0063] It should be noted that the preset distance is used to determine whether the obstacle moves, and the preset duration is used to determine whether the obstacle remains stationary for a long time or moves slightly for a long time. The preset distance and the preset duration can be set according to the needs of the user. For example, the preset distance is set to 1cm, 2cm, 2.5cm, etc., and the preset duration is set to 12s, 13s, 15s, etc. This embodiment does not impose specific restrictions.

[0064] It can be understood that the preset distance is set to 2 cm and the preset duration is 15 seconds. When the sensing device detects that the obstacle has moved 1 cm relative to the initial position and the duration of the movement distance of 1 cm is 20 seconds, it means that the obstacle has been stationary for a long time, and the water channel control device needs to be controlled to close to shut down the water outlet device to avoid waste of water resources.

[0065] In some embodiments, when the moving distance is greater than a preset distance, the water channel control device continues to be controlled to be turned on so that the water outlet device continues to discharge water; when the moving distance is less than the preset distance and the duration is less than the preset duration, the water channel control device continues to be controlled to be turned on so that the water outlet device continues to discharge water.

[0066] It can be understood that the preset distance is set to 2cm and the preset duration is 15s. When the sensing device detects that the obstacle has moved 3cm relative to the initial position, it means that the obstacle is moving, and there is no need to turn off the water channel control device. The water outlet device is controlled to continue to discharge water; when the sensing device detects that the obstacle has moved 1.5cm relative to the initial position, and the duration of the movement distance of 1.5cm is 10s, the water channel control device is kept open, so that the water outlet device continues to discharge water.

[0067] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flow chart of a method for induction control of a water outlet sanitary ware provided by another embodiment of the present invention, including but not limited to steps S201 to S202.

[0068] It should be noted that steps S201 to S202 are executed after the water channel control device is closed.

[0069] Step S201: determining the real-time position of the obstacle according to the moving distance;

[0070] Step S202: updating the sensing range of the sensing device according to the real-time location.

[0071] In some embodiments, the real-time position of the obstacle after movement is determined based on the moving distance, wherein the real-time position is obtained by subtracting the moving distance from the initial position, and then the sensing range of the sensing device is directly updated based on the real-time position, thereby achieving automatic reduction of the sensing control circuit and shortening the sensing distance of the sensing device.

[0072] It should be noted that in the process of updating the sensing range of the sensing device according to the real-time position, it is necessary to control the on and off of the electronic switch module according to the real-time position, thereby changing the amplification factor of the infrared signal in the amplification circuit module to achieve adjustment of the sensing range of the sensing device.

[0073] It is worth noting that the sensing device has a preset maximum sensing distance and a minimum sensing distance. The original sensing range of the sensing device is from the minimum sensing distance to the maximum sensing distance. In this embodiment, the updated sensing range is from the minimum sensing distance to the real-time position.

[0074] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a flow chart of a method for induction control of a water outlet sanitary ware provided by another embodiment of the present invention, including but not limited to steps S301 to S304.

[0075] Step S301: Determine the real-time position of the obstacle based on the moving distance;

[0076] Step S302: determining the sensing length according to the real-time position and the preset minimum sensing distance;

[0077] Step S303: dividing the sensing length equally according to a preset division condition to obtain a plurality of shortened lengths;

[0078] Step S304: updating the sensing range of the sensing device according to the shortened distance.

[0079] In some embodiments, the real-time position of the obstacle is determined based on the moving distance, and the sensing length is determined based on the real-time position and a preset minimum sensing distance. Thereafter, the sensing length is divided equally according to a preset division condition to obtain a plurality of shortened lengths. The electronic switch module is turned on and off according to different shortened lengths, thereby changing the amplification factor of the infrared signal in the amplifying circuit module to adjust the sensing range of the sensing device, thereby being able to update the sensing range of the sensing device according to different shortened lengths, realize automatic shortening of the sensing control circuit, and shorten the sensing distance of the sensing device.

[0080] It should be noted that the preset division conditions can be set according to the needs of the user. For example, the sensing length can be divided into three, four, or five equal parts, etc. When the division condition is to divide the sensing length into three equal parts, two-thirds of the reduced length is used as the sensing range of the sensing device after the update; when the division condition is to divide the sensing length into four equal parts, three-quarters of the reduced length is used as the sensing range of the sensing device after the update; when the division condition is to divide the sensing length into five equal parts, four-fifths of the reduced length is used as the sensing range of the sensing device after the update. This embodiment does not impose specific restrictions.

[0081] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a flow chart of an induction control method for a water outlet sanitary appliance provided by another embodiment of the present invention. The induction control method for a water outlet sanitary appliance includes but is not limited to step S401 and step S402.

[0082] It should be noted that the sensing control circuit includes a timer module.

[0083] Step S401: Using a timer module, record the duration of time during which the sensing device fails to sense an obstacle within the updated sensing range;

[0084] Step S402: When the timing duration is greater than the preset continuous time, the updated sensing range of the sensing device is set as the initial sensing range of the sensing device.

[0085] In some embodiments, a timer module records the duration during which the sensing device fails to sense an obstacle within the updated sensing range, thereby determining whether an obstacle exists within the updated sensing range for a long time. When the duration is greater than a preset continuous time, the updated sensing range of the sensing device is set as the initial sensing range of the sensing device, thereby restoring the sensing range of the sensing device.

[0086] It should be noted that the preset continuous time can be set according to the needs of the user, for example, to 1 minute, 2 minutes or 40 seconds, etc. When the preset continuous time is set to 1 minute, the timer module records the timing duration during which the sensing device does not receive the infrared sensing value returned by the obstacle, and compares the timing duration with 1 minute. When the timing duration is greater than 1 minute, it is determined that there is no obstacle within the updated sensing range, and the current sensing range of the sensing device is set to the initial sensing range of the sensing device, thereby realizing the restoration of the sensing range. This embodiment does not impose any specific restrictions on the setting of the preset continuous time.

[0087] In order to further illustrate the above-mentioned induction control method of the water outlet sanitary ware, a specific example is given below for illustration.

[0088] Example 1:

[0089] Example 1 shows the specific steps for updating the sensing range of the sensing device based on the real-time location of the obstacle:

[0090] Step 1: When an obstacle is detected within the sensing range of the sensor, the controller determines the initial position of the obstacle (Value_def) through the infrared transmitter and receiver modules in the sensor, and continuously detects the distance (Value_chg) the obstacle moves relative to the initial position.

[0091] It should be noted that the moving distance is equal to the initial position minus the real-time position, that is, Value_chg=Value_def-Value_real.

[0092] Step 2: Compare the moving distance Value_chg with the preset distance Value_div;

[0093] Step 3: When the moving distance is less than the preset distance, the timer module records the duration of the moving distance being less than the preset distance;

[0094] It should be noted that when the moving distance is less than the preset distance, the obstacle is judged to be in a stationary state; when the moving distance is less than the preset distance, the obstacle is judged to be in a moving state.

[0095] Step 4: When the moving distance is less than the preset distance for a duration greater than 15 seconds, the electronic switch module is controlled to be closed to turn off the waterway control device;

[0096] Step 5: After the waterway control device is closed, the sensing range of the sensing device is updated according to the real-time position, and the sensing range of the sensing device is updated from Value_min to Value_real;

[0097] Step 6: Use the timer module to record the duration during which the sensing device does not sense an obstacle within the updated sensing range;

[0098] Step 7: When the timing duration is greater than 1 minute, the updated sensing range of the sensing device is restored to the initial sensing range of the sensing device, that is, the sensing range is restored from Value_min to Value_real to Value_min to Value_max, thereby exiting the reduction range.

[0099] Example 2:

[0100] Example 2 is a specific step of updating the sensing range of the sensing device according to the preset division conditions:

[0101] It should be noted that steps 1 to 4 in Example 2 are consistent with steps 1 to 4 in Example 1, and are not described in detail in this embodiment.

[0102] Step 8: After the waterway control device is closed, the real-time position of the obstacle is determined based on the moving distance, and the sensing length from the minimum sensing distance to the real-time position is determined based on the real-time position and Value_min;

[0103] Step 9: Divide the sensing length into three equal parts, i.e., Value_d = (Value_real - Value_min) / 3, and record the value of each equal part as Value_d;

[0104] Step 10: Select 2 Value_d as the updated sensing device range. Therefore, the sensing device range is updated from Value_min to 2*Value_d.

[0105] Step 11: Use the timer module to record the duration during which the sensing device does not sense an obstacle within the range of Value_min to 2*Value_d;

[0106] Step 12: When the timing duration is greater than the preset continuous time, the sensing range of the sensing device is restored from Value_min to 2*Value_d to Value_min to Value_max, thereby exiting the shortened distance.

[0107] It's important to note that the corresponding control logic for the three-part zoom and electronic switch modules is as follows: when the movement distance is less than the preset distance for more than 15 seconds, zoom is triggered, the third group of amplification is disabled, and the first and second groups of amplification remain active. At this point, the amplification factor is 186x, the maximum sensing distance is shortened, and water flow stops. Simultaneously, Value_real is updated to the weakened infrared signal sensing value. The same applies to the second and third groups of zoom, so I won't go into detail here.
