Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of faucets, in particular to a faucet with a light-sensing atomization function. Background Art
[0002] Currently, the faucets on the market are too simple, with only single cold or hot and cold mixed water outlet modes. Therefore, when users need to humidify their faces, they usually wet their faces with water in their hands. Although this method is relatively simple and convenient, the arms need to bend during the water-holding process, causing the water to flow along the arms to the joints and even drip onto clothes. It can dry quickly in summer, but it will be difficult to dry the clothes in winter if the water drips onto them, which will affect the appearance and even the warmth of the clothes. For this reason, a faucet with a light-sensing atomization function is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The present invention aims to solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.
[0004] To this end, the technical solution adopted in the present invention is:
[0005] A faucet with a light-sensing atomization function comprises a valve pipe, a faucet, and a switch. The faucet is connected to one side of the top of the valve pipe, and a switch for controlling the opening and closing of the valve pipe is provided at the top of the valve pipe. The bottom end of the valve pipe is connected to hot and cold water pipes, and an atomization pipe connected side by side with the hot and cold water pipes. The bottom ends of the hot and cold water pipes and the atomization pipe are both equipped with the same hot and cold connecting pipes and atomization liquid connecting pipe. A light-sensing control valve is installed at the top of the atomization pipe.
[0006] A mixing water flow channel is provided inside the faucet, and an atomized water supply channel connected to the atomizing pipe is provided on one side of the inner cavity of the faucet. An end cover is plugged into the top of the faucet, and an atomizing nozzle connected to the atomized water supply channel is fixedly installed on the top of the end cover, and a light sensor is installed on the side of the end cover. A drainage nozzle is provided at the bottom of the faucet.
[0007] Preferably, a connecting buckle is sleeved on the middle part of the hot and cold water pipes, and the other end of the connecting buckle is sleeved on the atomizing pipe.
[0008] Preferably, a pressure gauge is installed at the position where the atomizing tube is connected to the atomizing liquid connecting tube, and the pressure gauge is used to monitor the pressure inside the atomizing liquid connecting tube.
[0009] Preferably, a line pipe is opened on the other side of the inner cavity of the faucet, and the open end of the line pipe is connected to the light sensor.
[0010] Preferably, the light-sensing controlled valve is electrically connected to the light sensor, and the line connecting the light sensor and the light-sensing controlled valve is arranged in a line pipeline.
[0011] Preferably, the mixed water flow channel is connected to the drainage nozzle.
[0012] Preferably, the hot and cold water pipes are connected to the hot and cold water pipelines, and the diameter of the hot and cold water pipes is greater than the diameter of the atomizing pipe.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are as follows:
[0014] In the present invention, an atomizing tube is added at the position where the hot and cold water pipes are connected at the bottom end of the valve tube for connecting the self-prepared atomizing liquid. The atomizing liquid must be a sterile, impurity-free pure liquid, such as ultrapure water, purified water, etc., and a light-sensing control valve is provided on the atomizing tube to control the smooth flow of the atomizing tube. The light-sensing control valve is electrically connected to the photosensor, so that the light-sensing control valve receives an opening signal after the photosensor senses light, so that the atomizing tube starts to transport liquid to the atomizing nozzle. When atomization starts, the user can humidify the face without having to do anything, which is convenient for skin care or cleaning. The atomized water flow is more uniform and delicate, and the water flow is smaller. Therefore, even if you use your hands, the water will not flow down your arms onto your clothes, which greatly improves the comfort of using the device. At the same time, the device has a compact structure and can be installed on any required faucet. You only need to reserve a small space in advance, and the installation only requires simple wiring and fixing. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0021] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention and the features therein can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0022] The following describes a faucet with light-sensing atomization function provided by some embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0023] Example 1:
[0024] Combine Figure 1-4 As shown, the present invention provides a faucet with a light-sensing atomization function, comprising a valve tube 110, a faucet 120 and a switch 130. One side of the top of the valve tube 110 is connected to the faucet 120, a mixed water flow channel 121 is provided inside the faucet 120, and an atomized water supply channel 122 connected to the atomizing pipe 160 is provided on one side of the inner cavity of the faucet 120. The top of the faucet 120 is plugged with an end cover 123, and an atomizing nozzle 124 connected to the atomized water supply channel 122 is fixedly installed on the top of the end cover 123, and a light sensor 127 is installed on the side of the end cover 123. A drainage nozzle 126 is provided at the bottom of the faucet 120, and the mixed water flow channel 121 is connected to the drainage nozzle 126. A line pipe 125 is provided on the other side of the inner cavity of the faucet 120. The open end of the line pipe 125 is connected to the light sensor 127, and a switch 130 for controlling the opening and closing of the valve pipe 110 is provided at the top of the valve pipe 110. The bottom end of the valve pipe 110 is connected to the hot and cold water pipes 140, and the atomizing pipe 160 connected side by side with the hot and cold water pipes 140. The bottom ends of the hot and cold water pipes 140 and the atomizing pipe 160 are equipped with the same hot and cold connecting pipes 150 and the atomizing liquid connecting pipe 170. A light-sensing control valve 190 is installed at the top of the atomizing pipe 160. The light-sensing control valve 190 is electrically connected to the light sensor 127, and the line connecting the light sensor 127 and the light-sensing control valve 190 is arranged in the line pipe 125.
[0025] Specifically, the plug-in design of the end cover 123 can fully utilize the photosensor 127's photosensor characteristics. When it is necessary to activate the atomizing nozzle 124 by photosensitivity, the end cover 123 is pulled out to make the photosensor 127 photosensitized, thereby activating the photosensor control valve 190 and introducing the atomized liquid into the atomizing nozzle 124 position for atomization and spraying. When atomization is not required, the end cover 123 is pushed inward to block the photosensor 127 inside the faucet 120, thereby shielding the light, stopping the working process of the photosensor control valve 190, and ending the atomization process of the atomizing nozzle 124, effectively ensuring the rationality of the structure, and opening a line pipe 125 in the faucet 120 specifically for the line connection between the photosensor 127 and the photosensor control valve 190, so that the design between the structures is more reliable, reasonable, and in line with reality.
[0026] Example 2:
[0027] Combine Figure 1 As shown, a faucet with a light-sensing atomization function includes a valve tube 110, a faucet 120 and a switch 130. The faucet 120 is connected to one side of the top of the valve tube 110, and the switch 130 for controlling the opening and closing of the valve tube 110 is provided at the top of the valve tube 110. The bottom end of the valve tube 110 is connected to the cold and hot water pipes 140, and an atomization pipe 160 connected side by side with the cold and hot water pipes 140. The bottom ends of the cold and hot water pipes 140 and the atomization pipe 160 are equipped with the same hot and cold connecting pipes 150 and atomization liquid connecting pipe 170. A light-sensing control valve 190 is installed at the top position of the atomization pipe 160. A connecting buckle 200 is sleeved on the middle part of the cold and hot water pipes 140, and the other end of the connecting buckle 200 is sleeved on the atomization pipe 160. The cold and hot water pipes 140 are connected to the cold and hot water pipes, and the diameter of the cold and hot water pipes 140 is larger than the diameter of the atomization pipe 160.
[0028] Specifically, the connection buckle 200 is used to fix the position between the hot and cold water pipes 140 and the atomizing tube 160, thereby ensuring the stability of the atomizing tube 160 and preventing the atomizing tube 160 from breaking due to its thin diameter, effectively improving the safety of the structure. At the same time, binding the two together can also avoid the entanglement of the lines, resulting in hot and cold exchange and affecting the temperature of the hot water. It is more beautiful and atmospheric, and maintenance can be more convenient and quick.
[0029] Example 3:
[0030] Combine Figure 1 As shown, in the above embodiment, a faucet with a light-sensing atomization function includes a valve tube 110, a faucet 120 and a switch 130. The faucet 120 is connected to one side of the top of the valve tube 110, and the top of the valve tube 110 is provided with a switch 130 for controlling the opening and closing of the valve tube 110. The bottom end of the valve tube 110 is connected to the hot and cold water pipes 140, and the atomization pipe 160 connected side by side with the hot and cold water pipes 140. The bottom ends of the hot and cold water pipes 140 and the atomization pipe 160 are equipped with the same hot and cold connecting pipes 150 and the atomization liquid connecting pipe 170. A light-sensing control valve 190 is installed at the top position of the atomization pipe 160, and a pressure gauge 180 is installed at the position where the atomization pipe 160 is connected to the atomization liquid connecting pipe 170. The pressure gauge 180 is used to monitor the pressure inside the atomization liquid connecting pipe 170.
[0031] Specifically, after installing the self-prepared atomizing liquid, it is necessary to observe the pressure value on the pressure gauge 180 to ensure that the pressure value is within a safe range to avoid excessive or insufficient pressure. After ensuring safety, start using it, pull out the end cover 123 to make the light sensor 127 sensitive to light, thereby sending a signal to the light-sensing control valve 190, starting the passage of the atomizing tube 160, and drawing the liquid to the atomizing nozzle 124 for atomization and spraying, thereby achieving the purpose of atomization.
[0032] The working principle and use process of the present invention are as follows: First, install the device, connect the hot and cold water pipes 140 to the hot and cold water pipes through the hot and cold connecting pipes 150, and connect the commonly used atomized liquid to the atomized liquid connecting pipe 170, and observe whether the pressure gauge 180 is at a safe pressure value. After the installation is completed, the light-sensing control valve 190 is electrically connected to the light sensor 127, wherein the circuit is arranged through the line pipe 125. After the installation is completed, it can be started to use. When only hot and cold water are used, only the switch 130 is needed to make the drainage nozzle 126 discharge water, and the cold and hot water can be switched by turning the switch 130. Hot water, at the same time, when the face needs to be humidified, the end cover 123 is pulled to make the light sensor 127 sensitive to light, thereby driving the light control valve 190 to open, so that the atomizing nozzle 124 starts to work, and the self-prepared liquid connected to the atomizing liquid connecting pipe 170 will be sucked into the atomizing pipe 160, and finally atomized and discharged through the atomizing nozzle 124. After use, the end cover 123 is pushed inward so that the light sensor 127 is no longer sensitive to light, driving the light control valve 190 to close the atomizing pipe 160 and stop atomization. Finally, regularly check whether the liquid connected to the atomizing liquid connecting pipe 170 is normal and sufficient.
[0033] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
