Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of water purification equipment technology, and more specifically, to a faucet and a water purification device. Background Technology

[0002] As under-sink water purifiers become increasingly feature-rich, faucets, in addition to providing water output, also need to meet the requirements of selecting different water output modes such as room temperature water and hot water, as well as adjusting parameters such as water temperature and flow rate. Users also hope to be able to perform operations such as mode selection, parameter setting, and status viewing at the faucet.

[0003] Existing smart faucets are typically controlled by touch panels, mechanical buttons, or rotary press-type operating devices. Touch operation is suitable for directly selecting different water output modes, but when continuously or multi-level adjusting parameters such as temperature and water flow, repeated triggering is usually required, making it difficult to balance intuitive operation with precise parameter adjustment. Some rotary press-type operating schemes switch functions or parameters through the same rotary operating device and select them by pressing, but the operation hierarchy between mode selection and parameter adjustment is not clear enough.

[0004] In addition, information such as water temperature and flow rate of existing products is usually displayed on the water purifier panel, external pipeline or independent display device, or only a limited status is displayed by simple light. This makes it difficult for users to confirm the current water mode and corresponding parameters in a timely and intuitive manner when operating at the faucet. Mode selection, parameter adjustment and information feedback cannot form a clear and unified interactive process.

[0005] In summary, how to solve the problem that existing faucets cannot simultaneously provide intuitive selection of water flow modes, convenient adjustment of current mode parameters, and simultaneous display of operation information on the faucet body is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0009] In some technical solutions, the water tap water passage component is provided with at least two water channels, each water channel is connected to the corresponding quick interface and converges in the mixing chamber; The mixing chamber is provided with a first water-blocking rib, which extends inward from the cavity wall of the mixing chamber and is configured to guide the water flow entering the mixing chamber.

[0010] In some technical solutions, the water outlet side of the mixing chamber is provided with a water outlet section, which includes a water outlet nozzle, and the water outlet nozzle is provided with a second water baffle and a water outlet channel; The second water-blocking rib is disposed at one end of the water outlet channel that connects to the mixing chamber, and the first water-blocking rib and the second water-blocking rib are configured to jointly guide the water flow from the mixing chamber to the water outlet channel.

[0011] In some technical solutions, the horizontal part of the main body is detachably connected to the vertical part of the main body via a plug-in connector; The plug-in connector includes a connecting base and two plug-in arms extending from the connecting base at intervals. The two plug-in arms are inserted into the main body upright and respectively engage with the two sides of the main body horizontal to limit the main body horizontal from exiting the main body upright.

[0012] In some technical solutions, the touch adjustment unit includes a touch panel disposed on the horizontal part of the main body and a control panel electrically connected to the touch panel; The touch panel is provided with a touch area and a light-emitting display area. The control panel is configured to recognize touch operations applied to the touch area, and the light-emitting display area is configured to display the corresponding water dispensing mode and / or selection status. The touch panel, the control board, and the water tap / water circuit components are connected to form a functional module that can be assembled and disassembled as a whole.

[0013] In some technical solutions, the rotating adjustment part includes a cover, an encoder, a display screen, and a rotating decorative cover; The cover is detachably connected to the main body; The encoder is disposed inside the cover; The display screen is fixedly mounted on the cover; The rotating decorative cover is disposed around the periphery of the display screen and is rotatably connected to the cover body so that it can rotate around the display screen; The rotating decorative cover is connected to the rotating part of the encoder, and the encoder is configured to steplessly adjust the preset parameters according to the rotational displacement of the rotating decorative cover.

[0025] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] As under-sink water purifiers become increasingly feature-rich, users need to select water flow modes, adjust parameters such as temperature or flow rate, and check status at the faucet. However, the touch, button, or rotary press interaction methods used by existing smart faucets cannot simultaneously ensure the intuitiveness of mode selection and the precision of parameter adjustment. Furthermore, the displayed information is often separated from the faucet operation position, resulting in a lack of clear and unified interaction between mode selection, parameter adjustment, and information feedback.

[0027] In view of the above issues, refer to Figures 1-9 This application provides a faucet and a water purification device that can effectively combine intuitive selection of water output mode, convenient adjustment of current mode parameters, and synchronous display of operation information on the faucet body.

[0028] Specifically, a faucet is provided, including a main body and a mounting part 4, wherein the main body and the mounting part 4 are rotatably connected; The main body is provided with an adjustment section and / or a display section; The adjustment unit includes a touch adjustment unit and a rotation adjustment unit 3. The touch adjustment unit is configured to select a water outlet mode in response to a touch operation, and the rotation adjustment unit 3 is configured to adjust the preset parameters corresponding to the current water outlet mode in response to a rotation operation. The display unit is configured to display the water outlet mode and / or the preset parameters.

[0029] The main body can rotate relative to the mounting part 4, allowing the faucet to adjust the water outlet direction while maintaining the same installation position to adapt to different water connection positions; the touch adjustment part is responsible for selecting the water outlet mode, and the rotary adjustment part 3 is responsible for adjusting the parameters in the current mode, thereby assigning mode selection and parameter adjustment to different operation modes; the display part presents the selected mode and corresponding parameters at the faucet end, allowing the user to complete the selection, adjustment and confirmation based on the displayed content, thus forming an interactive process that unifies operation and information feedback.

[0030] In this embodiment, the main body forms the main load-bearing structure of the faucet, and its lower end is connected to the mounting part 4 in a rotatable manner; the touch adjustment part can be set with multiple touch areas corresponding to different water outlet modes, and a mode selection signal is generated after the user touches the corresponding area; the rotation adjustment part 3 can convert the rotation direction and rotation displacement into parameter adjustment signals to change the temperature, cup volume or other adjustable parameters in the current mode; the display part can display the mode name, mode icon, set temperature, set cup volume or working status in real time, so that the user can complete the operation at the faucet without observing the water purifier. The main body can also integrate functions such as lighting, touch control and display to form a centralized human-computer interaction structure.

[0031] In some cases, the main body can be rotatably fitted with the mounting part 4 through a bushing, shaft, rotary joint, or inner and outer cylinders that are interlocked; the touch adjustment part can adopt a capacitive touch, pressure sensing, infrared sensing, or proximity sensing structure; the rotation adjustment part 3 can adopt an encoder, rotary potentiometer, Hall angle sensor, or photoelectric angle detection structure; the display part can adopt an LCD screen, organic light-emitting display screen, digital tube, icon light, or light ring, as long as it can realize mode selection, current mode parameter adjustment, and corresponding information feedback.

[0032] In some embodiments, the main body includes a main body upright portion 1 and a main body horizontal portion 2, the main body horizontal portion 2 is inserted and fixed to the main body upright portion 1, and the main body upright portion 1 is rotatably connected to the mounting portion 4; A water tap and water passage component 24 is provided inside the horizontal part of the main body. The water tap and water passage component 24 is connected to and fixedly provided with a quick connector 243. The quick connector 243 is used to connect and communicate with the water passage hose 13 inside the vertical part of the main body.

[0033] The main body includes a main vertical part 1 and a main horizontal part 2, which allows the part that carries the rotation and installation functions to form a relatively independent structure from the part that carries the water outlet and touch control functions. The main horizontal part 2 is inserted into the main vertical part 1, which facilitates quick assembly of the two. The water tap water circuit component 24 is connected to the water circuit hose 13 through the quick connector 243, which can simultaneously complete the water circuit conduction and connection sealing, reducing the assembly operations required for traditional hose and clamp connection.

[0034] In this embodiment, the main body upright 1 extends generally vertically, and its lower end is rotatably connected to the mounting part 4. The main body horizontal part 2 extends outward from the side of the main body upright 1 and forms a water outlet. The water hose 13 passes upward through the inside of the main body upright 1 and is aligned and inserted with the quick connector 243 after the main body horizontal part 2 is inserted into the main body upright 1. The quick connector 243 is fixed and connected to the water inlet of the water faucet water circuit 24, and may include a connector body, an elastic locking member and a sealing ring. After the water hose 13 is inserted, it is restricted from exiting by the elastic locking member, and the sealing ring seals the gap between the pipe wall and the connector body. When two water circuits are set, the two water hoses 13 are respectively connected to the two quick connectors 243, thereby delivering water of different types or different temperatures to the main body horizontal part 2.

[0035] The main vertical part 1 and the main horizontal part 2 can be assembled by inserting them in a transverse, oblique or axial manner. The water hose 13 can also be replaced by a rigid pipe, corrugated pipe or composite pipe. The quick connector 243 can be a press-to-unlock type, a snap ring locking type, a rotary locking type or a connector structure that is limited by a locking pin after insertion. When the water faucet water circuit component 24 is provided with multiple water inlets, each water inlet can be equipped with an independent quick connector 243, or it can be integrated into a multi-channel connector assembly with multiple insertion holes.

[0036] In some embodiments, the water tap water passage component 24 is provided with at least two water channels, each water channel being connected to a corresponding quick-connect interface 243 and converging into the mixing chamber 241; A first water-blocking rib 242 is provided inside the mixing chamber 241. The first water-blocking rib 242 extends inward from the cavity wall of the mixing chamber 241 and is configured to guide the water flow entering the mixing chamber 241.

[0037] The water faucet water passage component 24 is provided with at least two water channels, which can independently transport different water channels before the water flow reaches the outlet end, reducing the mutual influence of each water flow during the transportation process; after the water channels merge in the mixing chamber 241, the first water baffle 242 changes the flow direction and velocity distribution of the incoming water flow, so that the water flow entering from different directions tends to be stable, thereby reducing the turbulence and splashing caused by direct impact.

[0038] In this embodiment, the water tap water passage component 24 can be an injection molded part, which forms two water channels arranged side by side or vertically distributed inside. The inlet ends of the two water channels are respectively connected to the corresponding quick-connect interface 243, and the outlet ends face the same mixing chamber 241. The first water baffle 242 can be integrally formed with the cavity wall of the mixing chamber 241 and protrude from the cavity wall towards the central area, so that the water flow first contacts the first water baffle 242 after flowing out of the water channel, and then enters the outlet side of the mixing chamber 241 along the sides of the first water baffle 242 or the predetermined flow direction. This structure does not require the installation of an additional independent flow straightener, and can guide the converging water flow by utilizing the wall structure of the water tap water passage component 24 itself, which helps to form a converged and smooth water outlet pattern.

[0039] The first water-blocking rib 242 can be configured as a straight, arc, ring, cross, forked, or inclined rib along the water flow direction, or multiple spaced guide ribs can be configured; the mixing chamber 241 can be a circular chamber, elliptical chamber, or tapering chamber, and each water channel can be connected to the mixing chamber 241 tangentially, radially, or axially; the first water-blocking rib 242 can also be replaced by a detachable flow rectifier, flow guide sleeve, or porous flow rectifier, as long as the direction and velocity distribution of the incoming water flow can be adjusted.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the water channel can be connected tangentially to the mixing chamber 241, so that the water flowing into the mixing chamber 241 forms a circumferential flow along the chamber wall, thereby extending the flow and mixing path of different water flows in the mixing chamber 241 and reducing the impact generated by the water flow directly rushing towards the outlet. The first baffle rib 242 can be set as an annular rib surrounding the outlet area of ​​the mixing chamber 241. After the circumferentially flowing water comes into contact with the first baffle rib 242, it is blocked and guided, which can weaken the rotation trend of the water flow and make the water flow gradually change from circumferential flow to flow towards the outlet side, thereby improving the flow velocity distribution in the mixing chamber 241, reducing eddies and local water flow concentration, and helping to form a more stable and uniform outlet water pattern.

[0041] In some embodiments, the water outlet side of the mixing chamber 241 is provided with a water outlet 5, which includes a water outlet nozzle 51, and the water outlet nozzle 51 is provided with a second water baffle 511 and a water outlet channel 513. The second water-blocking rib 511 is disposed at one end of the water outlet 513 that connects to the mixing chamber 241. The first water-blocking rib 242 and the second water-blocking rib 511 are configured to jointly guide the water flow from the mixing chamber 241 to the water outlet 513.

[0042] The water outlet 5 is located on the water outlet side of the mixing chamber 241, allowing the water after confluence and initial guidance to enter the water outlet 51; the second water baffle 511 is located at the water inlet end of the water outlet channel 513, and it cooperates with the first water baffle 242 to make the water flow undergo at least two directional adjustments before entering the water outlet channel 513, thereby further weakening the rotating vortex in the mixing chamber 241 and making the water flow distribution in the water outlet channel 513 more uniform.

[0043] In this embodiment, the water outlet 51 is connected to the lower side of the water outlet water passage component 24, and its upper water inlet end is connected to the mixing chamber 241, and its lower part forms one or more water outlet channels 513; the second water baffle 511 can be a ring structure arranged around the inlet of the water outlet channel 513, or it can extend from the inner wall of the water outlet 51 toward the center, so that the water flow passing through the first water baffle 242 cannot directly enter the water outlet channel 513 in a rotating state, but first decelerates, turns and redistributes at the second water baffle 511; Furthermore, the water outlet 51 may also be provided with a third water-blocking rib 512, which may extend from the second water-blocking rib 511 to the outer peripheral wall to separate the circumferential water flow and suppress the annular vortex; a barrier 52 may also be provided around the water outlet 5, which surrounds at least a part of the water outlet 51 to block the assembly gap, limit water overflow and protect the water outlet 51.

[0044] It should be noted that, as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in some cases, a first baffle 242 is provided in the mixing chamber 241, the water outlet 51 adopts a small-diameter water outlet channel 513, and a second baffle 511 is provided at the inlet of the water outlet channel 513, while no third baffle 512 is provided in the water outlet channel 513. In other cases, the first baffle 242 is not provided in the mixing chamber 241, and the outlet 51 adopts a large-diameter outlet channel 513, with a second baffle 511 and a third baffle 512 provided inside the outlet 51. All of these situations can effectively reduce turbulence in the water flow and improve the water flow pattern. The second baffle 511 can be a continuous ring rib, an intermittent ring rib, a radial rib, or a mesh-like rib. The third baffle 512 can be multiple radial ribs distributed at intervals along the circumference. The first baffle 242 and the second baffle 511 can be staggered in the water flow direction or form a mutually intersecting or opposite flow guiding relationship. The outlet channel 513 can be a single central outlet, multiple circumferential outlets, or a honeycomb outlet. An aerator, a flow rectifier, or a flow restrictor can also be provided at its outlet to obtain different water flow patterns.

[0045] In some embodiments, the horizontal part 2 of the main body is detachably connected to the vertical part 1 of the main body via a plug-in connector 21; The plug-in connector 21 includes a connecting base and two plug-in arms that extend from the connecting base at intervals. The two plug-in arms are inserted into the main body upright 1 and respectively engage with the two sides of the main body horizontal 2 to limit the main body horizontal 2 from exiting the main body upright 1.

[0046] The plug-in connector 21 limits the two sides of the main body horizontal part 2 through two plug-in arms, making it difficult for the main body horizontal part 2 to move in the withdrawal direction after it is inserted into the main body vertical part 1. This connection form converts the axial fixation of the main body horizontal part 2 into a mechanical cooperation between the plug-in connector 21 and the two side limiting parts. When disassembling, it is only necessary to release the limiting of the plug-in connector 21, thus making it easy to remove and maintain the main body horizontal part 2 as a whole.

[0047] In this embodiment, the connecting end of the main horizontal part 2 extends into the side opening of the main vertical part 1, and grooves, steps or shoulders are formed on both sides of the main horizontal part 2; the connecting base of the plug-in connector 21 is located on the outside of the main vertical part 1, and the two plug-in arms extend from the connecting base in the same direction and pass through the plug hole on the main vertical part 1. After insertion, they enter the grooves on both sides of the main horizontal part 2 or are located behind the shoulder, thereby restricting the main horizontal part 2 from exiting; the plug-in connector 21 can be used as a faucet insert. After the insert is removed, the main horizontal part 2 and its internal water passage and touch function components can be directly removed from the main vertical part 1, which helps to shorten the assembly and maintenance time.

[0048] The plug-in connector 21 can be a U-shaped insert, a double pin connector, an elastic buckle, a sliding lock block, or a rotary lock; the two plug-in arms can respectively engage with the grooves of the main body horizontal part 2, or pass through the through holes on the main body horizontal part 2 for limiting; the connecting base can also be provided with a pull ring, a pressing part, or a tool mating part to release the connection; when it is necessary to improve the connection stability, a positioning post, an anti-rotation surface, an elastic pad, or a sealing ring can be added to the plug-in end to prevent the main body horizontal part 2 from shaking and rotating while being restricted from exiting.

[0049] In some embodiments, the touch adjustment unit includes a touch panel 22 disposed on the main body horizontal portion 2 and a control panel 23 electrically connected to the touch panel 22; The touch panel 22 is provided with a touch area and an illuminated display area. The control panel 23 is configured to recognize touch operations applied to the touch area, and the illuminated display area is configured to display the corresponding water dispensing mode and / or selected state. The touch panel 22, control board 23 and water tap water circuit component 24 are connected to form a functional module that can be assembled and disassembled as a whole.

[0050] The touch panel 22 is used to receive the user's mode selection operation, the control board 23 recognizes the touch signal and generates a corresponding control signal, and the light-emitting display area provides feedback on the selected mode or selected state. The touch panel 22, the control board 23 and the water faucet water circuit component 24 are combined into a functional module that can be disassembled as a whole, so that the interactive components and water circuit components can be pre-assembled, tested as a whole and replaced as a whole, thereby reducing the difficulty of on-site assembly inside the faucet.

[0051] In this embodiment, the touch panel 22 is located on the upper side of the main body horizontal part 2, the control board 23 is located below the touch panel 22, and the water faucet water passage component 24 is located below or to one side of the control board 23. The three are connected into an independent component by screws, brackets or buckles. The touch area can be made using black in-mold decoration (IMD) process and multiple touch buttons are arranged. Different buttons correspond to different water outlet modes or control functions. During assembly, the water faucet water passage component 24, touch panel 22 and touch buttons can be combined first and then installed into the main body horizontal part 2. The installation height of the touch buttons can be adjusted by adjusting screws. The touch panel 22 can also be equipped with a water dispensing light, which lights up when water is dispensed. Different modes can correspond to different light colors, making the mode selection status and water dispensing status more intuitive.

[0052] The touchpad 22 can be a single continuous panel or multiple independent touch keys. The control board 23 can be set separately from the touchpad 22 or integrated into the same circuit board. The light-emitting display area can be formed by key backlight, light guide strip, ring light, dot matrix light or icon light, and different states can be indicated by color, brightness, flashing frequency or lit position. The touchpad 22, control board 23 and water faucet water circuit component 24 can also be fixed to a common module bracket or module housing. They can be removed as a whole from the main body horizontal part 2 by removing a few connecting parts.

[0053] In some embodiments, the rotation adjustment part 3 includes a cover 31, an encoder 33, a display screen 36, and a rotating decorative cover 37; The cover 31 is detachably connected to the main body; The encoder 33 is disposed inside the housing 31; The display screen 36 is fixedly mounted on the cover 31; A rotating decorative cover 37 is disposed around the periphery of the display screen 36 and is rotatably connected to the cover 31 so that it can rotate around the display screen 36; The rotating decorative cover 37 is connected to the rotating part of the encoder 33, which is configured to steplessly adjust the preset parameters according to the rotational displacement of the rotating decorative cover 37. The preset parameters include at least one of the following: water temperature and water flow rate.

[0054] The display screen 36 remains fixed, while the rotating decorative cover 37 rotates around the display screen 36, ensuring that the display area does not rotate with the operating components during parameter adjustment, allowing the user to continuously read the displayed content. The rotating decorative cover 37 drives the rotating part of the encoder 33 to move, and the encoder 33 generates parameter change signals based on the rotational displacement, thereby enabling fine adjustment of the temperature or water output in the current mode through continuous rotation. The cover 31 carries the above components and can be detached from the main body, allowing the rotating adjustment part 3 to be assembled, tested, and replaced as a complete component.

[0055] In this embodiment, the cover 31 is installed on the upper end or side of the main body, the encoder 33 is located inside the cover 31 and can be a ring encoder, the display screen 36 is set in the middle of the ring encoder, and the rotating decorative cover 37 is arranged around the display screen 36; the rotating decorative cover 37 can be connected to the rotating part of the encoder 33 through the rotating support frame 34, the encoder 33 can be installed on the adapter plate 32, and the display screen 36 can be supported by the display screen base 35. The adapter plate 32, the rotating support frame 34 and the display screen base 35 are all housed in the cover 31; the cover 31 or its periphery can also form a light-emitting area, and six ring-shaped LED beads can be set on the adapter plate 32 to make the cover 31 light up as a whole; the display screen 36 can be a color LCD screen of about 1.1 inches. When the rotating decorative cover 37 rotates continuously, the encoder 33 outputs a corresponding displacement signal, and the control system can map this signal as a continuous change in temperature or cup volume, or as a fine step size such as 1℃ or 10mL.

[0056] The encoder 33 can be a mechanical, magnetoelectric, Hall effect, or photoelectric encoder, or a rotary potentiometer or a non-contact angle sensor; the rotating decorative cover 37 can be rotatably connected to the cover 31 via bearings, slip rings, annular guide rails, or multiple rolling pivots, and can be equipped with damping components or positioning sensing structures to improve the rotation feel; the display screen 36 can be replaced by an OLED screen, e-ink screen, digital display, or ring light strip; the cover 31 can be connected to the main body via snap-fit, thread, magnetic, or plug-in structures, allowing the cover 31 and its internal components to be disassembled and assembled as a whole.

[0057] In some embodiments, a bottom connector 11 is provided at the bottom end of the main body, and the mounting part 4 includes a fixed connector 41 that passes through the bottom connector 11, and the bottom connector 11 is rotatable relative to the fixed connector 41. The main body is provided with a positioning plate 12, which is configured to position at least one of the water hose 13 and the wire.

[0058] The bottom connector 11 rotates relative to the fixed connector 41, allowing the mounting part 4 to be fixed to the table surface, while the main body can still adjust its direction around the fixed connector 41; the positioning plate 12 constrains the water hose 13 and the wire, which can prevent the hose or wire from swinging disorderly inside, getting tangled together or rubbing against the rotating parts during the rotation of the main body, thereby improving the stability of the internal pipeline layout.

[0059] In this embodiment, the bottom connector 11 is fixed to the lower end of the main body, and an axial hole is formed inside for the fixed connector 41 to pass through. The fixed connector 41 is a hollow tubular structure, and the water hose 13 and the wire can pass through the interior of the fixed connector 41. The positioning plate 12 is disposed inside the main body and located above the bottom connector 11. One or more positioning holes, positioning grooves or guide notches can be formed on it to constrain the water hose 13 and the wire respectively. The mounting part 4 may also include a first rotating fixing member 42, a sealing gasket 43 and a second rotating fixing member 44, wherein the fixed connector 41 passes through the mounting hole of the mounting platform, the first rotating fixing member 42 and the second rotating fixing member 44 form a clamp on both sides of the mounting platform, and the sealing gasket 43 is located at the corresponding engagement position to seal around the mounting hole. The mounting part 4 forms a relatively fixed linkage assembly, and the main body and the bottom connector 11 form another rotatable linkage assembly. The two assemblies cooperate with each other and can move independently.

[0060] A bushing, rolling bearing, sliding bearing, or low-friction bushing can be provided between the bottom connector 11 and the fixed connector 41; the positioning plate 12 can be a sheet, a ring, a split clamp, or a bracket with multiple guide channels, or it can be integrally formed with the main body or the bottom connector 11; the sealing gasket 43 can be a flat gasket, a conical gasket, an O-ring, or a multi-lip seal; the first rotating fixing member 42 and the second rotating fixing member 44 can be nuts, pressure plates, clamping sleeves, or retaining rings, as long as they can fix the mounting part 4 to the mounting carrier and retain the rotational freedom of the main body.

[0061] In some embodiments, one of the bottom connector 11 and the fixed connector 41 is provided with a limiting groove extending in the circumferential direction, and the other is provided with a limiting protrusion extending into the limiting groove. The limiting protrusion can move within the limiting groove and abut against the end of the limiting groove to limit the rotation range of the main body relative to the mounting part 4.

[0062] The limiting protrusion moves within the circumferentially extending limiting groove, allowing the main body to rotate within a predetermined angle. When the limiting protrusion reaches the end of the limiting groove, the two come into contact and prevent the main body from continuing to rotate. This prevents the main body from rotating indefinitely and causing the water hose 13 or wire to twist. At the same time, it can limit the appropriate water coverage range according to the position of the kitchen countertop and sink.

[0063] In this embodiment, the limiting groove can be formed on the inner circumferential surface, end face, or annular flange of the bottom connector 11, and the limiting protrusion is correspondingly disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the fixed connector 41 or on the fixed member connected to the fixed connector 41; when the main body rotates, the bottom connector 11 moves relative to the fixed connector 41, the limiting protrusion moves along the limiting groove, and restricts forward and reverse rotation at the two end positions respectively; the circumferential length of the limiting groove can be determined according to the product requirements, so that the main body forms a rotation range of about 180° to 360°; the mounting part 4 is fixed to the table surface, and the main body moves independently as a rotatable component. With the cooperation of the sealing gasket 43, rotation and limiting can be achieved while maintaining the sealing of the installation position.

[0064] The positions of the limiting groove and the limiting protrusion can be interchanged, that is, the limiting groove is set on the fixed connector 41, and the limiting protrusion is set on the bottom connector 11; the limiting structure can also adopt an arc-shaped hole and a limiting pin, two circumferential blocks, a toothed disc and a stop tooth, a limiting ring and a shoulder, or a flexible limiting band; the limiting protrusion can adopt a fixed protrusion, screw, pin or elastic column, and can be equipped with an elastic buffer to reduce the impact when reaching the rotation end point; an adjustable limiting component can also be set so that the user or installer can change the rotation angle according to the position of the water tank.

[0065] This application also provides a water purification device, including a water purification unit and a faucet as described above; The water purifier unit is connected to the faucet and is configured to control at least one of the following: the type, temperature, and flow rate of water supplied to the faucet, based on the selected water output mode and adjusted preset parameters.

[0066] The water purifier unit controls the water supply based on the selected water output mode and adjusted preset parameters at the faucet, so that the faucet is no longer just a passive water output component, but a human-machine interaction terminal for the water purification equipment. The mode selection signal is used to determine the type of water to be output, and the parameter adjustment signal is used to determine the temperature or water output. The water purifier unit coordinates the water pump, valve body, heating component and other water supply components accordingly, so that users can select, adjust and take water at the faucet.

[0067] In this embodiment, a water circuit interface and an electrical interface are provided between the water purifier and the faucet. The water circuit interface can deliver room temperature water, hot water, cold water, or soda water, respectively. The electrical interface is used to transmit touch adjustment signals, rotary adjustment signals, display data, and operating status. After receiving the mode selection signal, the water purifier activates the water circuit or processing component corresponding to the selected mode, controls the heating component according to the set temperature, and controls the opening time or flow rate of the water pump and valve according to the set water output. The same faucet can be connected to different models of water purifiers using standardized water circuits and electrical interfaces. The water purifier can identify the connected product model through interface identification, communication data, or configuration programs, and adjust the functions of the touch area and the selectable water output modes accordingly. The control program can also support online upgrades to update mode configuration, adjustment range, or display content.

[0068] The faucet and the water purifier unit can communicate via wired connection, or via Bluetooth, wireless LAN, near-field communication, or other wireless communication methods. The water purifier unit can form a closed-loop control system using a flow meter, temperature sensor, and pressure sensor to improve the accuracy of water temperature and flow rate control. The water source can be supplied by multiple independent water circuits, or different water sources can be switched or mixed by a valve assembly. Some control functions can also be set inside the faucet, allowing the faucet to complete parameter analysis and output execution commands to the water purifier unit, as long as it can control the corresponding water supply status according to the mode and parameters.

[0069] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.
