DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an infrared sensing water dispenser comprises a water dispenser body 1, a cylindrical shell 3 is installed just above the front shell 2 of the water dispenser body 1, a water outlet 4 is arranged at the lower end of the cylindrical shell 3, and a water receiving area 5 is arranged in the middle of the front shell 2 of the water dispenser body 1; an infrared sensing device 6 is installed inside the water outlet 4 at the lower end of the cylindrical shell 3, the infrared sensing device 6 comprises an infrared receiver 7 and an infrared transmitter 8, and the infrared transmitter 8 is arranged at the water receiving area 5 of the front shell 2; a signal range of two points and one line is formed between the infrared transmitter 8 and the infrared receiver 7, and has precise distance control

[0033] Specifically, Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the infrared transmitter 8 includes an infrared reflector lamp 11; the infrared receiver 7 includes an infrared receiving lamp 12, the infrared reflector lamp 11 is embedded in the wall of the front shell 2 with the lamp head facing upward, and the infrared receiving lamp 12 is embedded in the inner side of the water outlet 4 with the lamp head facing downward.

[0034] A first mounting groove 13 is provided in the water receiving area 5 in the middle of the front shell 2 . A limiting column 15 is provided on the inner wall of the first mounting groove 13 . The infrared reflector lamp 11 is clamped between the limiting column 15 and the inner wall of the front shell 2 .

[0035] The side of the limiting column 15 is gradually inclined inward from top to bottom and a slot 16 is provided on the side. The infrared reflector lamp 11 and the infrared receiving lamp 12 are both provided with a raised slot 17 in the middle. The raised slot 17 of the infrared reflector lamp 11 is snapped into the slot 16, and the lamp head of the infrared reflector lamp 11 is snapped into the first installation groove 13 from top to bottom toward the water outlet 4, tightly against the side wall of the limiting column 15.

[0036] A second mounting groove 14 is provided on the inner side of the water outlet 4, and a fixing column 18 is provided on the inner wall of the second mounting groove 14. The raised position 17 in the middle of the infrared receiving lamp 12 is clamped to the upper side of the fixing column 18, and the lamp head of the infrared receiving lamp 12 is clamped into the second mounting groove 14 from bottom to top through the fixing column 18 toward the first mounting groove 13.
