Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of faucet switches, and in particular to a visual quantity-control and temperature-regulating faucet switch. Background Art

[0002] At present, most of the faucets on the market are simple structural switches. Users control the faucet by turning it left and right to control the water temperature of the faucet, and control the water output of the faucet by controlling the size of the switch. However, this control method requires users to perform more delicate operations. For example, when a user wants to use this faucet to wash hands, if it is a cold winter, hot water is needed to wash hands. If the user does not often use the faucet, the rotation direction of the faucet to output hot water is not clear. The faucet manager often reminds the user through a sticker. However, although the user knows the rotation direction of the faucet to output hot water, once the user rotates too far, the hot water will be too hot and the user cannot use it directly. If the user rotates it in the opposite direction to adjust it, it will be too cold. Such repeated adjustments will inevitably lead to a very poor user experience. In addition, the above-mentioned faucet controls the water output of the faucet by controlling the size of the switch. Some users directly open the faucet to the maximum, which will lead to a waste of water. At the same time, the amount of water required by users when washing hands, washing hair, and taking a bath is different. If the water volume cannot meet the requirements, it will inevitably affect the user's experience.

[0003] Therefore, the existing faucet switch can only be adjusted by feeling when used by the user, and the water output effect cannot immediately meet the user's expectations, which affects the user's experience. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a visually controlled temperature-adjustable faucet switch to solve the problem that the faucet switch in the prior art can only be adjusted by feeling when used by the user, and the water output effect cannot immediately meet the user's expectations, thus affecting the user's experience.

[0023] It is to be understood that the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of the invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0024] The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments consistent with the invention and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention.

[0025] Figure 1 is a schematic block diagram of a visual volume control and temperature regulating faucet switch according to an exemplary embodiment;

[0026] Figure 2 The diagram is a conceptual diagram of a visualized volume-control and temperature-adjusting faucet switch according to an exemplary embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present invention as detailed in the appended claims.

[0028] Embodiment 1

[0029] Figure 1 is a schematic block diagram of a visual volume control and temperature regulating faucet switch according to an exemplary embodiment, see Figure 1 , providing a visual volume control and temperature regulating faucet switch, comprising:

[0030] A display panel 101, and a water volume adjustment switch 102 and a temperature adjustment switch 103 electrically connected to the display panel 101;

[0031] The water volume adjustment switch 102 and the temperature adjustment switch 103 are preset with multiple adjustment levels;

[0032] The water volume regulating switch 102 is used to adjust the water volume of the faucet;

[0033] The temperature regulating switch 103 is used to adjust the water outlet temperature of the faucet;

[0034] The display panel 101 obtains and displays the temperature adjustment level of the temperature adjustment switch 103 and the water volume adjustment level of the water volume adjustment switch 102;

[0035] The display panel 101 is also used to display the cold and hot water prompt information corresponding to the adjustment direction of the water volume adjustment switch 102.

[0036] In specific practice, when a user uses a faucet provided with the visual volume control and temperature regulating faucet switch provided in this embodiment, the user can first adjust the water temperature of the faucet through the temperature regulating switch 103. When adjusting the water temperature of the faucet, since the temperature regulating switch 103 is preset with multiple adjustment levels, the user can select an adjustment level that suits him / her according to his / her needs. Compared with the traditional adjustment switch, after setting the adjustment level, each gear corresponds to a corresponding water temperature, avoiding the situation where the user adjusts the water temperature to be hot and cold. After the user selects the adjustment level of the temperature regulating switch 103, the user can turn on the faucet by turning on the water volume regulating switch 102.

[0037] Preferably, the water volume adjustment switch 102 is divided into two modes: cold water adjustment and hot water adjustment. If the user selects cold water adjustment, unheated cold water will be directly discharged. When the user selects hot water adjustment, hot water will be discharged according to the water temperature corresponding to the adjustment level of the temperature adjustment switch 103. For example, when the water volume adjustment switch 102 is in the middle, it is in the off state. When it is adjusted to the left for cold water adjustment, the water volume gradually increases when it is adjusted to the left; when it is adjusted to the right for hot water adjustment, the hot water volume gradually increases when it is adjusted to the right.

[0038] When the user controls the water output of the faucet through the water volume adjustment switch 102, the display panel 101 can display the cold and hot water prompt information corresponding to the water volume adjustment switch 102. For example, the water volume adjustment switch 102 is turned to the left for cold water adjustment and to the right for hot water adjustment. Therefore, the display panel 101 displays that the left side is cold and the right side is hot, and vice versa.

[0039] It is understandable that the technical solution provided in this embodiment shows a visual control and temperature adjustment faucet switch, including: a display panel 101, and a water volume adjustment switch 102 and a temperature adjustment switch 103 electrically connected to the display panel 101; the water volume adjustment switch 102 and the temperature adjustment switch 103 are preset with multiple adjustment levels; the water volume adjustment switch 102 is used to adjust the water output size of the faucet; the temperature adjustment switch 103 is used to adjust the water output temperature of the faucet; the display panel 101 obtains and displays the temperature adjustment level of the temperature adjustment switch 103 and the water volume adjustment level of the water volume adjustment switch 102; the display panel 101 is also used to display the cold and hot water prompt information corresponding to the adjustment direction of the water volume adjustment switch 102. It is understandable that this embodiment can allow users to select the required water volume and temperature according to the adjustment level by setting the adjustment level, and the display panel 101 displays the adjustment level at the same time, which immediately meets the user's expectations, and the user experience is good and the satisfaction is high.

[0040] It should be noted that the adjustment levels of the water volume adjustment switch 102 at least include: anchoring hand washing water volume, anchoring shampooing water volume and anchoring bathing water volume.

[0041] In actual practice, when users use the faucet, they often wash their hands, wash their hair or take a bath. Therefore, in the water volume adjustment level, the water volume for hand washing, the water volume for washing hair and the water volume for bathing can be anchored to help users choose the appropriate water output, thereby achieving the purpose of saving water.

[0042] It should be noted that the visual volume control and temperature regulating faucet switch also includes:

[0043] The sound prompt module is used to emit a preset prompt sound when the water volume adjustment switch 102 and the temperature adjustment switch 103 are adjusted to a preset adjustment level.

[0044] In specific practice, when the user uses the adjustment switch, if the adjustment switch is adjusted to a corresponding adjustment level, a preset prompt sound may be emitted to prompt the user that this is the corresponding adjustment level.

[0045] Preferably, the sound prompt module can be an electronic component, which emits a preset prompt sound when it detects that the adjustment switch has slid to the corresponding position; it can also be implemented through mechanical design, such as installing a spring clip, and when the adjustment switch is adjusted to the corresponding adjustment level, the spring clip emits a "pop" sound to prompt the user that this is the corresponding adjustment level.

[0046] It should be noted that the visual volume control and temperature regulating faucet switch also includes:

[0047] The water volume detection module is used to obtain the opening data of the water volume regulating switch 102, calculate the water consumption data according to the opening data, and transmit the water consumption data to a preset terminal.

[0048] In specific practice, the user may need to control the water consumption, so a water detection module may be set to obtain the opening data of the water volume adjustment switch 102, calculate the water consumption data based on the opening data, and transmit the water consumption data to the preset terminal. In actual applications, the user may have multiple faucets. By using the visual control and temperature adjustment faucet switch shown in this embodiment, data detection can be performed on all faucets to obtain the actual water consumption. For example, in a collective environment such as a company, the water consumption of the entire environment can be counted in this way.

[0049] It should be noted that the display panel 101 is set to be circular, and displays the cold and hot water prompt information, water volume adjustment level and dial pointer thereon.

[0050] In specific practice, Figure 2 is a conceptual schematic diagram of a visual volume control and temperature regulating faucet switch according to an exemplary embodiment, see Figure 2 , the display panel shows the dial pointer, anchored hand washing water volume, water volume adjustment level, cold water prompt information, hot water prompt information and temperature adjustment level.

[0051] The water volume regulating switch is a spiral regulating switch, which is embedded outside the display panel; when the water volume regulating switch rotates, the dial pointer on the display panel rotates synchronously.
