At the same time, through the regulation of the mixing valve mechanism 120, a certain temperature of ozone water can be achieved to meet the needs of winter cleaning.

[0025] In this embodiment, if Figure 3As shown, the water treatment module 200 also includes a first tee 240, a second tee 250, a flow meter 290 and a thermostat 2100, and the flow meter 290 and the thermostat 2100 are both electrically connected to the control board 210; wherein the first port of the first tee 240 is connected to the mixed water inlet 220 and the second and third ports thereof are respectively connected to the second and third ports of the second tee 250, the first port of the second tee 250 is connected to the treated water outlet 230, the first solenoid valve 260 and the ozone water generating device 270 are sequentially arranged on the pipeline between the second port of the first tee 240 and the second port of the second tee 250, the flow meter 290 and the thermostat 2100 are electrically connected to the control board 210; wherein the first port of the first tee 240 is connected to the mixed water inlet 220 and the second and third ports thereof are respectively connected to the second and third ports of the second tee 250, the first port of the second tee 250 is connected to the treated water outlet 230, the first solenoid valve 260 and the ozone water generating device 270 are sequentially arranged on the pipeline between the second port of the first tee 240 and the second port of the second tee 250, 00 are arranged in sequence on the pipeline between the mixed water inlet 220 and the first port of the first tee 240, and the first water path is specifically: mixed water inlet 220→flow meter 290→temperature controller 2100→first tee 240→first solenoid valve 260→ozone water generating device 270→second tee 250→treated water outlet 230; the second solenoid valve 280 is correspondingly arranged on the pipeline between the third port of the first tee 240 and the third port of the second tee 250, and the second water path is specifically: mixed water inlet 220→flow meter 290→temperature controller 2100→first tee 240→second solenoid valve 280→second tee 250→treated water outlet 230.

[0026] In the above scheme, the flow meter 290 is used to detect whether there is water flowing through the water channel so as to control the operation of each component through the linkage control board 210; the thermostat 2100 is used to detect whether the water temperature exceeds a preset value (the preset value generally does not exceed 38°C. When it exceeds 38°C, dissolved ozone will precipitate in large quantities) so as to control the operation of each component through the linkage control board 210.

[0027] In some other specific implementation schemes, the flow meter 290 and the temperature controller 2100 can also be arranged in sequence on the pipeline between the second port of the first tee 240 and the first solenoid valve 260. In this case, the first water path remains unchanged, and the second water path is specifically: mixed water inlet 220 → first tee 240 → second solenoid valve 280 → second tee 250 → treated water outlet 230.

[0028] In this embodiment, if Figure 3As shown, the ozone water generating device 270 includes an ejector 271, an air pump 272 and an ozone generator 273.

The outlet of the air pump 272 is connected to the inlet of the ozone generator 273 so as to pump the air 272 into the ozone generator 273. The ozone generator 273 preferably generates ozone by high-voltage electrolysis. The outlet of the ozone generator 273 is connected to the inlet of the ozone generator 273. The third interface of the ejector 271 is connected, so that under the action of the ejector 271, ozone and water can be evenly mixed to form ozone water; preferably, a one-way valve is arranged on the pipeline between the outlet of the ozone generator 273 and the third interface of the ejector 271, or a one-way valve structure is arranged at the ejector corresponding to the third interface (such as the ejector structure disclosed in CN202320742783.5), so as to achieve that ozone can enter the ejector through the third interface, while restricting the water in the ejector from flowing out through the third interface.

[0029] In this embodiment, the faucet module 100 also includes a light-emitting component electrically connected to the control panel 210, and the light-emitting component is used to display the working status of the faucet system; the light-emitting component is preferably arranged in a light ring structure around the outer edge of the control switch 130; when the faucet system is in ozone water mode, the light-emitting component is always on, and when the faucet system exits the ozone water mode, the light-emitting component is off; when the faucet system is ready to enter the ozone water mode, the light-emitting component is in a flashing state; in this way, the user can intuitively know the status of the faucet system through the status of the light-emitting component for better control.

[0030] The working principle and control logic of the faucet system of this specific implementation method are described in detail below:

[0031] Normal water mode: the control switch 130 is not operated to open, the light-emitting component, the first solenoid valve 260, and the ozone water generation system (mainly the ozone generator 273 and the air pump 272) are all in the closed state, the second solenoid valve 280 is normally open, the second water channel is open, and the first water channel is closed. At this time, the water flow of the faucet system flows according to the second water channel to discharge normal water. At the same time, by turning the handle 122, the faucet system can be controlled to discharge hot water, cold water or normal temperature water.

[0032] Ozone water outlet mode: the control switch 130 is operated to open, the second solenoid valve 280 is controlled to close, the first solenoid valve 260, the ozone water generator 270 and the light-emitting component are controlled to open, the first water path is opened, and the second water path is closed. At this time, the water flow of the faucet system flows out ozone water along the first water path; at the same time, ozone water of a certain temperature can be discharged by turning the handle 122. When the thermostat 2100 detects that the water temperature exceeds a preset value (generally 38°C), the thermostat 2100 sends a signal to the control board 210. The control board 210 controls the second solenoid valve 280 to open and controls the light-emitting component and the ozone water generator 270 to close, and at the same time controls the first solenoid valve 260 to close after a predetermined delay (generally 0.5 seconds). At this time, the water flow of the faucet system flows out ordinary water along the second water path.

[0033] 1. When the control switch 130 is triggered before the handle 122 is opened, the flow meter 290 does not work because there is no water flowing through it, and the light-emitting component flashes. If there is still no water flowing through the flow meter 290 within the predetermined time (generally 5 seconds), that is, the handle 122 of the faucet module 100 is still not opened, the light-emitting component will go out; if there is water flowing through the flow meter 290 within the predetermined time (generally 5 seconds), that is, the handle 122 of the faucet module 100 is opened, the light-emitting component will be always on, and the control board 210 will control the first solenoid valve 260 and the ozone water generating device 270 to open, and at the same time control the second solenoid valve 280 to close after a predetermined time delay (generally 0.5 seconds), and the water flow of the faucet system will flow out ozone water according to the first water path.

[0034] 2. When ordinary water is discharged, the control switch 130 is triggered. At this time, the light-emitting component is always on, and the control board 210 controls the first solenoid valve 260 and the ozone water generating device 270 to open, and at the same time controls the second solenoid valve 280 to close after a predetermined delay (usually 0.5 seconds). The water flow of the faucet system flows out ozone water along the first water path.

[0035] 3. When ozone water is discharged, the control switch 130 is triggered again. At this time, the light-emitting component is extinguished, and the control board 210 controls the second solenoid valve 280 to open and close the ozone water generating device 270. At the same time, the first solenoid valve 260 is controlled to close after a predetermined delay (usually 0.5 seconds), and the water flow of the faucet system flows out ordinary water according to the second water path.

[0036] 4. When ozone water is discharged, the handle 122 is closed, and the flow meter 290 stops working when there is no water flow. The control board 210 controls the second solenoid valve 280 to open and close the light-emitting component and the ozone water generating device 270, and controls the first solenoid valve 260 to close after a predetermined delay (usually 0.5 seconds).

[0037] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has a simple and reasonable structure. All water output from the faucet system needs to be carried out when the mixing valve mechanism is open, thus avoiding the situation where ozone water is directly output due to accidental touching of the control switch. At the same time, the user can adjust the mixing valve mechanism to achieve ozone water of a certain temperature to meet the needs of cleaning in cold weather.

[0038] The above disclosure is only an embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and any changes that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
