[0024] The present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0025] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, a faucet with lighting function includes a water supply pipeline 1, a control switch 2 and a water outlet faucet 3. The control switch 2 is arranged on the water supply pipeline 1, and the water outlet faucet 3 is arranged at the end of the water supply pipeline 1. The water outlet faucet 3 includes a water outlet surface 4, and the water outlet surface 4 is distributed with water outlet holes 5. This design realizes the basic functions of the faucet, and is convenient for users to wash hands, collect water and other operations.

[0026] The water outlet surface 4 is provided with a plurality of lighting lamp assemblies 6, and the direction of the light emitted by the lighting lamp assemblies 6 is consistent with the drainage direction of the water outlet 5. Through this design, when the user uses the faucet in a dark light environment, the lighting lamp assembly 6 can provide bright and directional lighting, ensuring that the user can clearly see the water outlet 5 and the water flow, so as to conveniently wash hands or collect water. The plurality of lighting lamp assemblies 6 arranged on the water outlet surface 4 can ensure the uniform distribution of light and avoid the occurrence of dark areas or dead corners. At the same time, the light emitted by the lighting lamp assembly 6 is consistent with the drainage direction of the water outlet 5, so that the user can directly aim at the water outlet 5 when using water, thereby improving the convenience of use. In addition, this design can also reduce the waste of light and improve the lighting efficiency. The side of the water outlet faucet 3 is provided with a lighting switch 7, and the lighting switch 7 is pressed to turn on the lighting lamp assembly 6 when lighting is needed. This design provides a convenient operation method for the user. The user only needs to press lightly to turn on or off the lighting lamp assembly 6, thereby realizing flexible control of the lighting function.

[0027] The lighting lamp assembly 6 includes LED lamp beads, a light source driving circuit and a reflector. The LED lamp beads are powered by the light source driving circuit, and have high luminous efficiency and long life; the reflector is used to evenly reflect the light to the area around the water outlet to ensure the uniformity and brightness of the lighting effect. As a light-emitting element, the LED lamp beads have the advantages of energy saving, environmental protection and high luminous efficiency. The light source driving circuit provides a stable power supply for the LED lamp beads to ensure their normal operation. The reflector can evenly reflect the light emitted by the LED lamp beads to avoid excessive concentration or dispersion of the light, thereby improving the lighting effect. The light source driving circuit enters the water outlet faucet 3 along the water supply pipeline 1, and the outside of the light source driving circuit is wrapped by a waterproof insulating seal. This design ensures the normal operation of the light source driving circuit in a humid environment, while improving the safety and reliability of the product.

[0028] An independent water pipe is provided in the water pipeline 1 to transport water; the light source driving circuit is provided outside the water pipe, and the two are independent of each other and do not interfere with each other. This layout method not only ensures the purity of the water source, but also avoids the possible impact of the circuit on the water quality. By setting up independent water pipes and light source driving circuits, the separation of the water source and the circuit is achieved, ensuring the purity of the water source and the safety of the circuit. At the same time, this layout method also simplifies the structure of the product and improves the convenience of installation.

[0029] The water outlet faucet 3 synchronously controls the power on or off of the light source driving circuit. After the water outlet is turned off by the control switch 2, the light source driving circuit is synchronously powered off. This design achieves the purpose of energy saving and avoids the ineffective power consumption of the lighting assembly 6 when the user does not use the faucet. A light sensor is provided on the water outlet faucet 3, which can automatically control the brightness of the turned-on light according to the intensity of the ambient light. When the ambient light is dark, the light sensor will automatically trigger the lighting assembly 6 to turn on and increase the brightness; when the ambient light is bright enough, the lighting assembly 6 will reduce the brightness or automatically turn off.

[0030] By setting the light sensor, the intelligent adjustment function of the lighting lamp assembly 6 is realized. This function can automatically adjust the lighting brightness according to the change of the ambient light, which not only meets the user's use needs under different light conditions, but also achieves the goal of energy saving. The lighting switch 7 is provided with a plurality of mode switches, and the user can select different lighting modes and brightness according to the needs. These mode switches can not only control the lighting brightness, but also control the degree of light divergence to meet the user's use needs in different scenes.

[0031] The light source driving circuit adopts a wireless circuit device, including a radio transmitting device 8 and a radio receiving device. The radio transmitting device 8 is independently set up and is responsible for sending power signals; the radio receiving device is set in the water outlet faucet 3, responsible for receiving power signals and powering the LED lamp beads. This wireless circuit design simplifies the circuit wiring and improves the reliability and aesthetics of the product. The application of the wireless circuit device makes the connection between the water outlet faucet 3 and the water supply pipeline 1 more convenient and flexible, avoiding the cumbersome wiring process. At the same time, the wireless transmission method also reduces the risk of failure caused by aging or damage of the line, and improves the reliability and stability of the product. The water outlet 5 is set in the middle area of ​​the water outlet surface 4, which is convenient for users to directly aim at the water outlet 5 for washing hands or collecting water. The lighting lamp assembly 6 surrounds the water outlet 5 to provide users with a full range of lighting effects and ensure that users can get enough lighting at any angle.

[0032] The water faucet 3 and the water delivery pipeline 1 are designed to be retractable, and the user can adjust the height and position of the water faucet 3 as needed. The water faucet and the water delivery pipeline are designed to be retractable. When the water delivery pipe in the water delivery pipeline is extended, the light source driving circuit is also extended to ensure the normal power supply of the lighting lamp assembly. This is convenient for users to use and ensures safety in use.

[0033] The above is a detailed introduction to the faucet with lighting function provided by the utility model. The principle and implementation method of the utility model are described in detail using specific examples. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the utility model and its core idea.
