Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.
[0034] The existing on-off control method through sensors has limitations. On the one hand, the faucet cannot be used in a power outage state. When the sensor device fails and the faucet cannot be turned off, it is very troublesome. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, this case proposes the following technical solutions:
[0035] See also Figures 1 to 6 The present invention provides a technical solution for an intelligent induction faucet: its structure includes: a valve 1, and a water pipe 2 connected to the valve 1, one side of the water pipe 2 is connected to the valve 1 and the other side is connected to a controller 3, the valve 1 includes a valve body 11, a valve plate 111 at the top of the valve body 11 is provided with a movable groove, and the movable groove is movably matched with a push plate 12, a valve core 13 is provided inside a valve body 116 of the valve body 11, the valve core 13 is connected to a valve stem 112 installed on the top of the valve body 116, the valve stem 112 is located between the valve body 11 and the valve core 13, a guide head 14 is nested at the outlet of the valve core 13, a sensor 15 is installed inside the valve body 116, and the sensor 15 is electrically connected to the valve core 13.
[0036] The main structure of the device includes a valve 1, which is connected to a controller 3 through a water pipe 2. The controller 3 is mainly used to connect to an external pipeline so that the water pipe 2 can deliver a stable water pressure, making the valve 1 safer when in use. Specifically, a connecting valve and a filtering device are provided inside the valve 1.
[0037] The valve 1 includes a valve body 11. A movable groove cooperating with a push plate 12 is arranged on the top of a valve plate 111 of the valve body 11, so that the push plate 12 can be hidden. The push plate 12 can be hidden in the sensing mode. A valve core 13 is arranged inside the valve body 11. The valve core 13 is connected to the valve core 13, and the water flow is led out through a guide head 14. The outlet of the water outlet pipe 133 of the valve core 13 is located in the middle of the guide head 14 to reduce the rust at the joint of the guide head 14. A sensor 15 is installed inside the valve body 116 of the valve body 11. The sensor 15 adopts an image recognition structure, specifically a visual camera, and can control the water flow through different gestures.
[0038] The valve plate 111 is connected to the support column 113 at the bottom through the valve stem 112 that passes through the anti-slip pad 115. A gear ring 114 is provided on the outside of the support column 113, and is connected to the control inner valve 136 through the outer teeth of the gear ring 114. The movement of the control inner valve 136 is controlled to change the size of the water flow. The valve plate 111 drives the valve stem 112 to swing along the support column 113, which can be used for emergency during power outages through manual control, and the valve stem 112 can drive the support column 113 to rotate. The rotation makes the second adjustment circle 135 change its position with the first adjustment circle 134, thereby controlling the hot and cold water, and also realizing the control of hot and cold water by a single control valve.
[0039] The specific valve core 13 includes a core body 131, which serves as a base and is provided with a water inlet pipe 132 connected to the water pipe 2, and a water outlet pipe 133 for discharging water. The core body 131 extends upward to form a cylinder, and a first adjustment ring 134 and a second adjustment ring 135 are sequentially arranged inside. The first adjustment ring 134 is nested and fixed with the water inlet pipe 132 and the water outlet pipe 133. As a rotatable base, a second adjustment ring 135 is arranged on the top of the first adjustment ring 134, and the second adjustment ring 135 is used to switch between cold and hot water, and a control inner valve 136 is nested in the middle of the second adjustment ring 135, and the control inner valve 136 can be switched between manual and automatic opening.
[0040] The specific second adjustment circle 135 includes a plate body 351, an inner groove 352 is provided between the plate bodies 351, and the plate bodies 351 are connected to the support column 113 through the inner groove 352. The support column 113 can rotate along the movable opening of the plate body 351, and the entire plate body 351 can be rotated around the vertical central axis for switching. The plate body 351 is provided with a channel formed by a converging groove 353 and a mixing groove 355. The mixing groove 355 is in the shape of a circular hole, which cooperates with the through hole of the first adjustment circle 134 to form a single cold channel, a warm channel, and three modes of a full hot channel. The second outlet groove 356 matches the channel corresponding to the water outlet pipe 133. The second outlet groove 356 is elliptical, which can keep the channel connected during the rotation process.
[0041] A limit groove 354 is installed in the middle of the inner groove 352, and the limit groove 354 is used to install the control inner valve 136. The specific structure of the control inner valve 136 includes a manual part and an electric control part. Regarding the manual part: the push column 368 is engaged and driven with the gear ring 114, and the displacement of the push column 368 is controlled when the valve stem 112 swings back and forth. The push column 368 links the valve tube 367 in the middle, and a through hole is provided at the bottom of the valve tube 367. In the closed state, the through hole is located in the groove body of the outer tube 369 to form a seal.
[0042] As for the electric control part, an auxiliary conduit 365 is nested in the middle of the valve tube 367. A sealing ring 366 is provided on the surface of the auxiliary conduit 365. The sealing ring 366 is used to seal and decelerate the valve tube 367, which can provide a certain resistance during manual control and better adjust the sensitivity of controlling the water flow.
[0043] The sealing ring 366 is connected to the guide cavity 364. A trigger coil 361 is set on the top of the guide cavity 364. The trigger coil 361 is connected to the sensor 15 and controls the opening and closing through the signal generated by the sensor 15. The trigger coil 361 pushes the push rod 362 in the middle to move, driving the second valve plate 363 at the bottom to close and open the opening at the bottom of the guide cavity 364 to control the water flow.
[0044] Specifically, a double-coil structure is provided inside the trigger coil 361 , and the double-coil structure can be used to control the push rod 362 to have two controllable moving strokes, thereby controlling the size of the water flow.
[0045] The control process of this device is as follows:
[0046] s1: In the automatic mode, the water temperature can be adjusted by pulling out the push plate 12 to control the rotation of the valve plate 111 of the valve body 11. After the adjustment is completed, once the sensor 15 recognizes the action of opening the water flow, the valve core 13 can output the water flow with the set water temperature.
[0047] s2: When the faucet cannot be used after a power outage, the push plate 12 is pulled out so that the valve plate 111 can be used normally. The valve plate 111 drives the support column 113 and the gear ring 114 to rotate, thereby pushing the push column 368 to move so that the valve tube 367 can control the on and off of the water flow.
[0048] s3: In the recognition state, gestures can be recorded to control the size of the water flow. Different gestures trigger different positions of the coil inside the coil 361. The positions of coils in different positions are also different when pushing the push rod 362, so that the size of the water flow can be intelligently controlled through different gestures.
[0049] The improved device cooperates with the valve tube 367 and the auxiliary conduit 365 to achieve intelligent switching between manual and automatic. The valve tube 367 can be manually opened and closed by driving the push rod 368. A retractable and movable auxiliary conduit 365 is provided inside the valve tube 367, which can not only serve as a slide rail for the valve tube 367, but also be connected to the tube guide cavity 364, and can be intelligently controlled to open and close by triggering the coil 361, which is more convenient to use.
[0050] A push plate 12 is provided inside the valve plate 111, which can be hidden. It can be hidden in the identification mode, which is more beautiful. It can be pulled out in the state of power failure and manually controlled, which is more convenient to use.
[0051] The above only describes the basic principles and preferred implementations of the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make many changes and improvements based on the above description, and these changes and improvements should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0052] In addition, it should be understood that although the present specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode contains only one independent technical solution. This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
