Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of kitchen and bathroom equipment, and particularly to a control box and an electronically temperature-controlled parallel induction faucet. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, a water mixing and temperature adjustment mechanism is often set in the water supply system of kitchens and bathrooms, so that users can adjust the appropriate water outlet temperature according to their own usage habits. However, the mechanical valve of the existing parallel induction faucet is arranged in parallel with the electromagnetic valve under the table, and the water path of the faucet through which the electromagnetic valve is opened by the inductor cannot be temperature-adjusted, which is limited for the usage scenarios where the inductive water path also needs to be temperature-adjusted.

[0003] One of the water mixing and temperature adjustment mechanisms in the prior art is manual temperature adjustment. Users manually adjust the water mixing valve to adjust the cold water inlet volume and the hot water inlet volume. The above method has poor temperature adjustment fineness and poor operation convenience. Another method is to automatically adjust the temperature by using two motors to control the cold water inlet valve and the hot water inlet valve respectively. The above method also requires frequent adjustment of the positions of the two motors. When adjusting the temperature, the two motors need to be adjusted back and forth continuously to adjust to the required temperature. This temperature adjustment method is very precise, but has poor convenience, high cost, and also results in high energy consumption. In the kitchen space, daily dishwashing and vegetable washing do not require such precise temperature adjustment, and only water with a suitable temperature is needed. Therefore, it is urgent to improve the water mixing and temperature adjustment device to adapt to the usage environment without excessive energy consumption. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a control box and an electronically temperature-controlled parallel induction faucet, which can improve the convenience of adjustment and reduce energy consumption at the same time.

[0021] An electronically controlled valve, which is connected in series with a mixing valve. When the electronically controlled valve is opened, the electronically controlled valve allows water flow through and discharges through the discharge port.

[0040] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, rather than limiting the present invention. In addition, it should be noted that, for the sake of convenience of description, only the parts related to the present invention rather than all the structures are shown in the drawings.

[0041] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "connected", "connected to", and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the internal communication of two components or the interaction relationship between two components.

In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for differentiation in description and have no special meanings.

[0044] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, the present application provides a control box, which includes a box body 1, a mixing valve 10 and a control member 11. The box body 1 has a first inlet 3, a second inlet 4 and a mixed water outlet 5. The mixing valve 10 is arranged in the box body 1. The mixing valve 10 is provided with a mixing water channel 102. The first inlet 3, the second inlet 4 and the mixed water outlet 5 are all communicated with the mixing water channel 102. The mixing valve 10 is signal-connected to a control system through a driving member 9. The driving member 9 can adjust at least one of the fluid temperature and volume passing through the mixing water channel 102 through the control system. The control member 11 is arranged on the box body 1. The control member 11 is provided with a plurality of fixed gears. The control member 11 is controllably connected to the driving member 9 through the control system. The control member 11 controls the driving member 9 to drive the mixing valve 10 to adjust the fluid passing through the mixing water channel 102 through the plurality of fixed gears.

[0045] Using the above control box 100, connect the hot water inlet pipe and the cold water inlet pipe to the first inlet 3 and the second inlet 4 respectively. The control member 11 is arranged on the box body 1. By operating the control member 11, the desired water temperature or the desired water volume can be selected therefrom. After selecting the corresponding water temperature or water volume, the driving member 9 can drive the mixing valve 10 to adjust to the corresponding position to directly output the set water temperature or water volume. The speed of adjusting the temperature or the flow rate is fast. The driving member 9 adjusts the inflow amount entering the mixing water channel 102 from the first inlet 3 and the second inlet 4, and thus can adjust the inflow amounts of hot water and cold water. After mixing in the mixing water channel 102, it flows out from the mixed water outlet 5. The above control box fixedly controls the driving member 9 through the fixed gears of a control member 11, so as to avoid frequently adjusting the driving member 9, which can extend the service life of the driving member 9 and reduce energy consumption. This kind of temperature adjustment mechanism is particularly suitable for the kitchen space environment. For daily dishwashing and vegetable washing, only the water at a suitable temperature needs to be adjusted, and there can be a slight change, and accurate temperature is not required, which has no impact on actual use. In addition, this kind of temperature adjustment method does not require multiple temperature sensors to detect the hot and cold inlet water temperatures and the outlet water temperature for feedback adjustment, requires fewer components, and also reduces the design of complex temperature feedback adjustment programs.

[0046] In some embodiments, the cartridge 1 has a receiving cavity 2, and the mixing valve 10 includes a piston 101. A mixing water channel 102 is disposed within the piston 101. The receiving cavity 2 communicates with a first inlet 3, a second inlet 4, and a mixing water outlet 5. The output end of the driving member 9 is connected to the piston 101, and the driving member 9 is capable of driving the piston 101 to move within the receiving cavity 2 so that the piston 101 adjusts the amount of water entering the mixing water channel 102 from the first inlet 3 and the second inlet 4. Specifically, two water inlet channels are provided on the control box 100. The two water inlet channels communicate with the receiving cavity 2. One end openings of the two water inlet channels are the first inlet 3 and the second inlet 4 to be respectively connected to an external cold water inlet pipe and a hot water inlet pipe. The two water inlet channels are connected to the receiving cavity 2 and form a connection port 14 on the receiving cavity 2, so that the first inlet 3 and the second inlet 4 communicate with the receiving cavity 2. The connection ports 14 of the two water inlet channels on the receiving cavity 2 are spaced along the axial direction of the piston 101, and the two connection ports 14 are located on opposite sides of the receiving cavity 2.

[0047] The mixing water channel 102 of the piston 101 penetrates through the first end of the piston 101, so that the mixing water channel 102 communicates with the mixing water outlet 5. The second end of the piston 101 is connected to the output end of the above-mentioned driving member 9. Two water inlet ports 103 are further provided on the piston 101. The two water inlet ports 103 are spaced along the axial direction of the piston 101 and respectively correspond to the two connection ports 14. Thus, the water entering from the first inlet 3 and the second inlet 4 can enter the mixing water channel 102 through the connection port 14 and the water inlet ports 103, be mixed, and then flow out from the mixing water outlet 5.

[0048] When the driving member 9 drives the piston 101 to move along its axial direction, it can make the water inlet ports 103 on the piston 101 face or be misaligned with the connection port 14, thereby changing the amount of water entering the water inlet ports 103 relative to the connection port 14, and further being able to adjust the amount of water entering, so as to adjust the temperature after mixing. Exemplarily, the driving member 9 can be but is not limited to a DC motor. It can be understood that when the temperatures of the water entering from the cold water inlet pipe and the hot water inlet pipe are the same, the volume of the mixed water can also be changed only by moving the piston 101, so as not to change the temperature. In some other embodiments, the mixing valve 10 may further have a sleeve body. The sleeve body is fixed within the receiving cavity 2, and a sleeve body port corresponding to the connection port 14 is provided on the sleeve body. The piston 101 moves within the sleeve body, so as to facilitate the movement of the piston 101. Both ends of the sleeve body are open. One end opening enables the liquid in the mixing water channel 102 to flow out, and the other end opening enables the output end of the driving member 9 to extend into and connect the piston 101.

[0049] Such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the control box 100 further includes an electronic control valve 12. The electronic control valve 12 is disposed between the mixed water outlet 5 and the piston 101 to allow or block the water flow through the electronic control valve 12, thereby being able to control the timing of water discharge. Moreover, the electronic control valve 12 can also be used in cooperation with an external induction switch 204. Exemplarily, the electronic control valve 12 can be, but is not limited to, a solenoid valve. Further, the control box 100 further includes a mechanical control valve 13. The mechanical control valve 13 is disposed between the piston 101 and the electronic control valve 12 so that when the electronic control valve 12 fails due to reasons such as a fault or a power outage, the water flow can be controlled to pass through or blocked through the mechanical control valve 13 to avoid unnecessary water leakage. Exemplarily, the mechanical control valve 13 is a ball valve disposed in the mixed water channel 102. A connecting rod is provided on the ball valve, and the connecting rod passes through the control box 100, so that the ball valve can be rotated by driving the connecting rod, thereby being able to control the on-off of the mixed water channel 102. In the current embodiment, the end of the connecting rod is flush with the end of the control box 100 to reduce unnecessary interference. In order to facilitate the rotation of the connecting rod, a rotating groove for cooperating with a screwdriver or the like is provided at the end of the connecting rod away from the ball valve. Since the mechanical control valve 13 only needs to be operated when the electronic control valve 12 fails or there is a power outage or the like, and the number of operations is very small, there is no need to provide a special operating handle. Only a rotating groove for cooperating with a screwdriver or the like is provided. When such a situation occurs, the screwdriver cooperates with the rotating groove to rotate the ball valve to control the on-off of the mixed water channel 102.

[0050] In some embodiments, the control box 100 further includes a display screen and a temperature sensor (not shown in the figure). In the current embodiment, the monitoring end of the temperature sensor is disposed between the electronic control valve 12 and the mixed water outlet 5 to monitor the mixed water temperature after mixing in the mixed water channel 102 through the temperature sensor. The display screen is disposed on the control box 100. The temperature sensor is connected to the display screen through a control system, and the temperature monitored by the temperature sensor is transmitted to the display screen for display to provide a reference for the user and let the user know whether the adjustment has reached the required gear. During actual use, since the temperature or water volume is adjusted in advance to the required value, the control system pre-stores a plurality of fixed positions of the driving member 9 corresponding to the water temperature or water volume. Operating the control member 11 can directly adjust the mixing valve 10 to the corresponding water temperature. The actually displayed water temperature may be inconsistent with the preset fixed temperature due to the influence of the temperature change of the hot and cold inlet water, but this change is very small and not much different from the displayed temperature. For the kitchen space such a usage environment, precise temperature is not required and it has no impact on actual use.

[0051] As Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the control member 11 can be a knob or a pressing member, and the control system at least includes a control circuit board 15 to connect to the driving member 9 through the control circuit board 15. The control circuit board 15 is integrally installed in the control box 100. The control circuit board 15 prestores information corresponding to multiple different fluid temperature positions or multiple different fluid volume positions of the control member 11. Operating the control member 11 causes the control circuit board 15 to control the driving member 9 to drive the mixing valve 10 to adjust the fluid passing through the mixing water channel 102. To further enhance visual control, an indicator light is also provided on the control box 100, and different gears are displayed by different colors or different numbers of the indicator lights. In the current embodiment, the indicator lights are arranged around the control member 11. It should be noted here that the number of gears of the control member 11 is not specifically limited. For example, it can include 30°C, 35°C, 40°C, or 45°C, etc. In the current embodiment, the control member 11 uses a knob. Alternatively, it can also use a button or a push button, etc.

[0052] As Figure 2 shown, in order to expand the scope of use to be able to connect to different forms of faucets 200 such as fixed or pull-out faucets, in some embodiments, the control box 100 further includes a first outlet 6, a second outlet 7, and a mixing water inlet 8. The first outlet 6 communicates with the first inlet 3, the second outlet 7 communicates with the second inlet 4, the mixing water outlet 5 communicates with the mixing water inlet 8, and the mixing water inlet 8 is located between the mixing water outlet 5 and the electronic control valve 12 so that the first outlet 6, the second outlet 7, and the mixing water inlet 8 can communicate with the pipes on the faucet 200.

[0053] In the current embodiment, both water inlet channels are three-way pipes. The first opening of the three-way pipe is the connection port 14; the second opening of the three-way pipe is the first inlet 3 or the second inlet 4 that communicates with the external cold water inlet pipe and the hot water inlet pipe, and the third opening of the three-way pipe is the first outlet 6 or the second outlet 7. Thus, on the one hand, the cold water inlet pipe and the hot water inlet pipe can enter the mixing water channel 102 through the first inlet 3 and the second inlet 4 for mixing; at the same time, they can also directly enter the faucet 200 through the first outlet 6 and the second outlet 7; and the mixing water inlet 8 is also directly connected to the pipe on the faucet 200 for connecting a pull-out faucet.

[0054] In some embodiments, the first outlet 6, the second outlet 7, and the mixing water inlet 8 and the mixing water outlet 5 are located on the same side of the control box 100 to facilitate the connection of different pipes.

[0055] This application also provides an electronically temperature-controlled parallel induction faucet, which includes the above-mentioned control box 100 and the faucet 200. The faucet 200 includes a faucet body 201, and the faucet body 201 has a discharge port 202 that can convey water. The faucet 200 can be a fixed faucet or a pull-out faucet.

[0056] Depending on the form of the faucet 200, the structure of the faucet 200 is different. Exemplarily, the faucet 200 may but is not limited to adopt the following structural modes:

[0057] As Figure 5 shown, in some embodiments where the faucet 200 is a fixed faucet, there is also a water outlet channel in the faucet body 201. The water outlet channel has two inlets and one outlet. The outlet of the water outlet channel is the discharge port 202. A mechanical mixing valve 203 (mixing valve) is also provided on the faucet body 201. The mechanical mixing valve 203 is located inside the faucet body 201 and is arranged at one of the inlets of the water outlet channel, so that the valve outlet of the mechanical mixing valve 203 communicates with the above-mentioned inlet. The mechanical mixing valve 203 is a commonly used component in the prior art, and its specific structure will not be elaborated here. The faucet 200 further includes a first pipe 205, a second pipe 206 and a third pipe 207. The first pipe 205 communicates the first outlet 6 with the first valve inlet of the mechanical mixing valve 203, and the second pipe 206 communicates the second outlet with the second valve inlet of the mechanical mixing valve 203, so that the water flows from the cold water inlet pipe and the hot water inlet pipe can directly enter the mechanical mixing switch valve for mixing, and then be discharged from the discharge port 202 through the water outlet channel. The third pipe 207 communicates the mixed water outlet 5 and the other inlet of the water outlet channel, and the mixed water inlet 8 can be blocked by a plug, so that the mixed water in the mixed water channel 102 can be discharged from the discharge port 202 after passing through the water outlet channel.

[0058] In addition, the electronic temperature-controlled parallel induction faucet 200 is also provided with an induction switch 204. The induction switch 204 is arranged on the faucet body 201. It can be understood that the induction switch 204 can also be arranged separately from the faucet body 201; the induction switch 204 is connected to the electronic control valve 12 through a control system, so as to be able to control the opening or closing of the electronic control valve 12 through the induction switch 204. That is to say, when the above-mentioned faucet 200 is adopted, the induction switch 204 and the mechanical mixing switch valve can control the water discharge at the discharge port 202 in parallel, and the two do not interfere with each other. While the operation is more convenient, the faucet 200 can still be used normally when any one of them fails. It can be understood that in some alternative embodiments, only one of the mechanical mixing switch valve and the induction switch 204 may also be provided.

[0059] As Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments where the faucet 200 is a pull-out faucet, the faucet 200 may also include a faucet body 201. The faucet body 201 further has a pull-out pipe, and the outlet of the pull-out pipe is the discharge port 202. In the current embodiment, a mechanical mixing valve 203, a first pipe 205, a second pipe 206, and a third pipe 207 are provided on the faucet body 201. The first pipe 205 communicates with the first outlet 6 and the first valve inlet of the mechanical mixing valve 203. The second pipe 206 communicates with the second outlet 7 and the second valve inlet of the mechanical mixing valve 203. The third pipe 207 communicates with the valve outlet of the mechanical mixing valve 203 and the mixed water inlet 8. The inlet of the pull-out pipe communicates with the mixed water outlet 5 (the inlet of the pull-out pipe can also be connected to the mixed water outlet 5 through an adapter pipe 208). Thus, the water flows from the cold water inlet pipe and the hot water inlet pipe can directly enter the mechanical mixing valve 203 for mixing, and then enter the mixing water channel 102 through the third pipe 207, and flow out from the mixed water outlet 5 to the discharge port 202; alternatively, the water flows from the cold water inlet pipe and the hot water inlet pipe enter the mixing water channel 102 through the first inlet 3 and the second inlet 4, and then are discharged from the discharge port 202 after passing through the electronic control valve 12 and the mixed water outlet 5. This connection method can introduce the mixed water from different paths into the mixing water channel 102 first, and then discharge it through a single pull-out pipe, which is suitable for the connection of pull-out faucets.

[0060] In this embodiment, an induction switch 204 may also be provided on the faucet body 201. The induction switch 204 can be provided on the faucet body 201 or independently of the faucet body 201. The induction switch 204 is connected to the electronic control valve 12 through a control system, so as to be able to control the start and stop of the electronic control valve 12 through the induction switch 204. Thus, the electronic control valve 12 and the mixing valve 10 can be connected in series to control the water discharge at the discharge port 202; the electronic control valve 12 and the mechanical mixing valve 203 can be connected in parallel to control the water discharge at the discharge port 202 without interfering with each other. The induction switch 204 can adopt an infrared sensor, a TOF sensor, or a contact capacitive switch sensor, etc. A battery box (not shown in the figure) can also be externally hung on the box body 1 of the control box 100. A replaceable battery or a rechargeable battery is installed in the battery box. The battery box is used to supply power to the control system, the induction switch 204, the electronic control valve 12, and the driving member 9. The induction switch 204 on the faucet 200 is connected to the battery box through a power cord. Alternatively, the control box 100 can also be directly connected to the mains power. In this embodiment, the battery box is used for power supply, and the above method can reduce the energy consumption of the battery in the battery box and improve the service life without having to replace the battery frequently.
