It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.
[0039] At present, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards, people pay more and more attention to drinking water. The water that people can drink can be roughly divided into tap water, purified water, and mineral water. Tap water contains impurities, bacteria and heavy metal pollution. Purified water is acidic and does not balance the acid-base balance of the human body. The faucet is a terminal device for water. The traditional faucets currently used in the market are limited to safe water use and cannot detect and display the pH value and TDS value of the water flow from the faucet.
[0040] In view of this, the present embodiment provides a faucet and a mineral water purification device. The faucet can obtain and detect the pH value and / or TDS value of the water flowing out of the faucet.
[0041] See also Figure 1 , a faucet, comprising: a body, a faucet filter, an acquisition module, and a display module;
[0042] The body has a mineralized water path, the faucet filter is arranged on the mineralized water path, the acquisition module is arranged on the mineralized water path, and the acquisition module is used to acquire the pH value and / or TDS value of the mineralized water path;
[0043] The display module is arranged on the main body, and is used to display the PH value and / or TDS value acquired by the acquisition module.
[0044] The above-mentioned main body is provided with a mineralized water path, and a faucet filter is provided on the mineralized water path. The water flow in the mineralized water path is mineralized through the faucet filter, and an acquisition module is provided on the mineralized water path. The pH value and / or TDS value on the mineralized water path is acquired through the acquisition module. After the acquisition module acquires the pH value and / or TDS value, the pH value and / or TDS value on the mineralized water path is displayed on the display module through the display module provided on the main body, so that the user can more intuitively observe the pH value and / or TDS value in the current mineralized water path.
[0045] See also Figure 1 ,In some embodiments, the acquisition module includes: a first acquisition unit and a second acquisition unit;
[0046] The faucet filter element has a water inlet end and a water outlet end; the first acquisition unit is arranged at the water inlet end, and the first acquisition unit is used to obtain the pH value and / or TDS value of the water flow at the water inlet end; the second acquisition unit is arranged at the water outlet end, and the second acquisition unit is used to obtain the pH value and / or TDS value of the water flow at the water inlet end.
[0047] It can be understood that the above-mentioned acquisition module includes: a first acquisition unit and a second acquisition unit, and the above-mentioned faucet filter element has a water inlet end and a water outlet end, wherein the first acquisition unit can be set at the water inlet end, and the pH value of the water flow at the water inlet end or the TDS value of the water inlet end can be detected by the first acquisition unit, and the second acquisition unit can be set at the water outlet end, and the pH value of the water flow at the water outlet end or the TDS value of the water outlet end can be detected by the second acquisition unit. When the first acquisition unit and the second acquisition unit obtain the pH value or TDS value of the current water path, they are sent to the display module. After processing the pH value and / or TDS value obtained by the first acquisition unit and the second acquisition unit, the display module can display the pH value and TDS value of the current water flow at the water outlet and the water inlet end in real time through the display module.
[0048] It should be noted that the first acquisition unit and the second acquisition unit are used to acquire relevant data in the current water flow, for example, to acquire relevant data such as the pH value and / or TDS value and / or heavy metal content and / or microbial content of the current water flow.
[0049] See also Figure 6 , in some embodiments, further comprising: a controller;
[0050] The controller is connected to the first acquisition unit and the second acquisition unit respectively, and is used to acquire signals from the first acquisition unit and the second acquisition unit and output the signals to the display module.
[0051] It can be understood that the controller is arranged outside the faucet or the controller, and the controller is connected to the first acquisition unit and the second acquisition unit respectively, so that the controller can obtain the pH value and / or TDS value of the water flow at the water inlet end of the faucet filter cartridge through the first acquisition unit, and obtain the pH value and / or TDS value of the water flow at the water outlet end of the faucet filter cartridge through the second acquisition unit, and send the relevant data obtained by the first acquisition unit and the second acquisition unit to the controller, and the controller can process the obtained relevant data and send it to the display module for display, so that the current water quality of the faucet filter cartridge water inlet end and the faucet filter cartridge water outlet end can be visualized.
[0052] See also Figure 2 , in some embodiments, further comprising: a communication unit;
[0053] The communication unit is connected to the first acquisition unit and the second acquisition unit, and the acquisition unit is used for wireless communication with the controller.
[0054] It can be understood that a communication unit is also provided in the main body, and the communication unit is connected to the first acquisition unit and the second acquisition unit respectively. When the first acquisition unit obtains the TDS value and / or PH value of the water inlet end and the second acquisition unit obtains the TDS value and / or PH value of the water outlet end, they can communicate with the display module through the communication unit. The display module has a communication function, so the display module can communicate with the communication module wirelessly, so that the data can be sent to the display module through the communication module, and the display module can display the relevant data on the display module after processing.
[0055] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, both the first acquisition unit and the second acquisition unit are TDS sensors.
[0056] It can be understood that the first acquisition unit and the second acquisition unit are both TDS sensors. The total dissolved solids (TDS) content in the water is measured by two TDS sensors, which can make water quality detection more accurate. At the same time, the TDS sensor is simple in design and easy to operate. It can directly output digital signals that are directly accepted and used by the reality module, which can reduce the size and complexity of the entire system. The TDS sensor can convert the TDS value into a pH value after a simple calculation by the controller, so that the pH value and TDS value can be obtained only by the TDS sensor.
[0057] See also Figures 3 to 5 In some embodiments, the display module includes: a signal display area, a numerical display area, a control area, and a PH / TDS display area.
[0058] It can be understood that in order to facilitate observation and control of the display module, the display module is divided into multiple display areas, specifically, the display module is divided into a signal display area, a numerical display area, a control area, and a PH / TDS display area; wherein the above-mentioned signal display area is used to display the current communication status of the main body; the numerical display is used to display the specific value of the current PH / TDS display area, the control area can set the PH value or water output of the water or the button of pausing water output, and the PH / TDS display area is used to display the current water flow PH / TDS in a bar graph (such as Figures 3 to 5 shown).
[0059] Among them, different control modes can be set in the control area, and corresponding touch buttons can be set in the control area, and the TDS value or PH value of the tap water can be adjusted by the touch buttons; for example: one of the touch areas is set to a fixed TDS value or PH value, and the touch buttons are correspondingly set to PH=7, PH=7.5, PH=8, and the other touch area is set to adjust the PH value of the tap water by addition or subtraction, and the touch button can be set to a plus sign or a minus sign, and the buttons in different touch areas can adjust the current value. For example: if the user needs drinking water with a PH value of 7.3, it can be adjusted through the PH=7.5 and minus buttons. This can improve the portability of button adjustment and make it more convenient to set the preset PH value of the faucet.
[0060] Of course, in some other implementations, only the touch area and the display area may be set; or other setting methods may be used.
[0061] See also Figure 1 and Figure 6 , in some embodiments, the body comprises: a main body portion and a connecting portion;
[0062] The main body is rotatably connected to the connecting portion, the connecting portion has a containing cavity, and the first acquisition unit, the second acquisition unit, the communication unit, the controller, and the faucet filter are all arranged in the containing cavity.
[0063] It can be understood that the body includes: a connection part and a main body part, the main body part is rotatably arranged on the connection part, and the main body part is arranged perpendicular to the connection part. The structural design of the main body part and the connection part being perpendicular helps to improve the stability of the device. It can reduce structural deviation or tilt, enhance the stability of the faucet, and also reduce flow resistance, thereby improving water flow efficiency. It can also facilitate the rotation of the faucet.
[0064] It can be understood that the above-mentioned connecting part has a accommodating cavity, in which a communication unit, a first acquisition unit, a second acquisition unit, and a controller are arranged, wherein the communication unit can be electrically connected to the first acquisition unit and the second acquisition unit, and the controller can be wirelessly connected to the communication unit, and the data is sent to the controller through the communication unit via a wireless signal, and it can use Bluetooth, WiFi and other related protocols or modules for signal transmission.
[0065] See also Figure 7 In some embodiments, the main body is provided with an installation area, and the display module is arranged in the installation area.
[0066] It can be understood that the main body is the water outlet part of the faucet, which is rotatably arranged on the connecting part, and an installation area is arranged on the side of the main body away from the connecting part. The installation area is recessed in the main body, and the installation area is used to install the display module. The installation area is set on the one hand to facilitate the installation of the display module, and on the other hand to facilitate the user to observe the display module after it is installed in the installation area and to facilitate the user to adjust relevant parameters.
[0067] See also Figure 8 , in some embodiments, the body further comprises: a regulating waterway and a control valve;
[0068] The control valve is connected to the mineralized water channel and the regulating water channel respectively, and the control valve is used to control the water inflow of the mineralized water channel and the regulating water channel.
[0069] It can be understood that the control valve is connected to the mineralized water channel and the regulating water channel. Therefore, the control valve can achieve the purpose of water flow regulation by controlling the water flow of the mineralized water channel and the regulating water channel. By adjusting the water flow of different water channels so that the water flow in the mineralized water channel and the regulating water channel is mixed before the output faucet, the pH value of the water flow can be adjusted.
[0070] In some embodiments, the control valve is connected to a controller, which can control the control valve so as to adjust the water path and control the water flow in the water path to meet the user's usage requirements; the first acquisition unit, the second acquisition unit can cooperate with the control valve and the controller to make the water flow output by the faucet meet the user's expectations or meet the standards for drinking water.
[0071] Specifically, the first acquisition unit and the second acquisition unit can both detect the pH value of the current output water and input water of the main body. When the main body detects that the pH value of the current output water flow is low or high, the water flow in the mineralized water channel and the water flow in the regulating water channel can be adjusted by the control valve; for example: when the pH value of the output water flow is high, the water flow in the mineralized water channel can be reduced, and the water flow in the regulating water channel can be increased to lower the pH value; when the pH value of the output water flow is low, the water flow in the mineralized water channel can be increased, and the water flow in the regulating water channel can be reduced to increase the pH value.
[0072] The first detection module can detect the pH value or the TDS value in the inlet waterway. The second detection module is arranged on the outlet waterway. The pH value or the TDS value in the outlet waterway can be detected by the second detection module, so that the water quality of the current inlet and outlet water in the faucet can be detected; by obtaining the TDS difference between the inlet waterway and the outlet waterway or the pH value difference between the inlet waterway and the outlet waterway, the control valve can adjust the water flow input into the mineralized waterway and the water flow input into the regulating waterway according to the TDS difference or pH value difference obtained in real time, so that the output water flow can meet the user's water demand.
[0073] See also Fig. 9 The present invention also provides a mineral spring mineralization water purification device, the water purification device comprising:
[0074] A water purifier and the faucet are connected to the water purifier.
[0075] It can be understood that the above-mentioned mineral spring mineralized water purification equipment includes a water purifier and a faucet, wherein the water purifier is used to purify the municipal water supply, and the purified water flows into the faucet, and the faucet can achieve the purpose of regulating the water flow of the mineralized water channel and the regulating water channel through the control valve in the faucet. By adjusting the water flow of different water channels so that the water flow in the mineralized water channel and the regulating water channel is mixed before the output faucet, water output according to different needs can be achieved.
[0076] See also Fig. 9 , in some embodiments, the mineral spring mineralized water purification equipment comprises: a mineralized filter element and a water purification filter element;
[0077] The mineralized filter element is connected in series with the water purification filter element, and the mineralized filter element is connected to the mineralized waterway and supplies water to the mineralized waterway.
