DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0026] A faucet with a drying function, such as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the faucet comprises a faucet body 1, a control main board 2, a fan 3, a solenoid valve 4, a water pipe 5, an air pipe 6 and a nozzle 7, and the nozzle 7 is provided with a water outlet 8 and an air outlet 9.

[0027] The fan 3 is installed in the box body 14, and the box body 14, the solenoid valve 4 and the control main board 2 are all arranged in a protective shell 17, so as to achieve protection and avoid being affected by the external environment.

[0028] The faucet body 1 is connected to the solenoid valve 4, and the solenoid valve 4 is connected to the water outlet 8 through the water pipe 5. The solenoid valve 4 controls the connection between the faucet body 1 and the water pipe 5. Preferably, in this embodiment, the water pipe 5 adopts a hose. The use of a hose can more easily adapt to different installation positions and angles, reducing restrictions on the installation space.

[0029] The fan 3 is connected to the air outlet 9 through the air pipe 6. Preferably, in the present embodiment, the air pipe 6 adopts a spiral tube, and the water pipe 5 is located inside the air pipe 6, so as to reduce the space occupied and make the overall structure more compact. The air pipe 6 can limit and protect the water pipe to prevent the water pipe 5 from being damaged by the external environment.

[0030] The control main board 2 is electrically connected to the fan 3 and the solenoid valve 4, and a sensing module 10 is provided on the nozzle 7. Preferably, in the present embodiment, the sensing module 10 adopts an infrared sensor, and the sensing module 10 corresponds to the solenoid valve 4. The sensing module 10 is electrically connected to the control main board 2. It should be noted that when the user needs to clean, any part can be placed in the sensing area corresponding to the sensing module 10. After the sensing module 10 detects the signal, it is transmitted to the control main board 2. The control main board 2 controls the solenoid valve 4 to open, and the water in the faucet body 1 flows through the solenoid valve 4 and the water pipe 5 to the nozzle 7, and finally flows out from the water outlet 8 for the user to clean. When the user leaves the sensing area of ​​the sensing module 10, the sensing module 10 cannot detect the signal, and the control main board 2 controls the solenoid valve 4 to close, and the water outlet 8 stops discharging water.

[0031] A sensing module 2 11 is provided on the nozzle 7. Preferably, in the present embodiment, the sensing module 2 11 adopts an infrared sensor. The sensing module 2 11 corresponds to the fan 3. The sensing module 2 11 is electrically connected to the control main board 2. When the user needs to dry after cleaning, any part can be placed in the sensing area corresponding to the sensing module 2 11. The sensing module 2 11 detects the signal and transmits it to the control main board 2. The control main board 2 controls the fan 3 to turn on. The wind output by the fan 3 flows to the nozzle 7 through the air supply pipe 6, and finally dries the part that needs to be dried from the water outlet. By integrating the drying function into the faucet, the user does not need to switch between different devices for cleaning and drying, which improves the convenience of use, and the user does not need to move between different devices, thereby reducing water droplets falling on the ground.

[0032] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the nozzle 7 has two air outlets 9 and two corresponding sensing modules 11, and the two air outlets 9 are distributed on both sides of the nozzle 7, so that two people can dry clothes at the same time.

[0033] An air outlet pipe 15 is provided on the box body 14. Preferably, the air outlet pipe 15 and the box body 14 are integrally provided, and the air outlet pipe 15 is connected to the air supply pipe 6 through a joint 16. Specifically, the air outlet pipe 15 and the joint 16 are connected by screws, and a positioning convex ring 18 is provided at one end of the joint 16. A positioning ring groove 19 is provided on the air outlet end of the air outlet pipe 15, and the positioning convex ring 18 is inserted into the positioning ring groove 19. Through the cooperation of the positioning convex ring 18 and the positioning ring groove 19, the sealing between the two can be effectively guaranteed, and the stability between the two can be further improved. The relative position relationship between the positioning convex ring 18 and the positioning ring groove 19 makes installation more convenient and quick.

[0034] The other end of the connector 16 is provided with a positioning convex ring 20, and the positioning convex ring 20 cooperates with the connector 16 to form a positioning ring groove 21. One end of the air duct 6 is inserted into the positioning ring groove 21, and the inner wall of the air duct 6 abuts against the outer wall of the positioning convex ring 20, and the outer wall of the air duct 6 abuts against the inner wall of the connector 16, thereby realizing the connection between the air duct 6 and the connector 16. Moreover, since the inner wall of the air duct 6 abuts against the outer wall of the positioning convex ring 20, the outer wall of the air duct 6 abuts against the inner wall of the connector 16, the stability of the connection between the two can be further improved and the sealing between the two can be ensured.

[0035] The inner wall of the nozzle 7 is threadedly connected with a connecting pipe 22, the outer wall of the connecting pipe 22 is threadedly connected with a connecting head 23, the outer wall of the connecting head 23 is threadedly connected with a connecting cap 24, a joint 25 is arranged inside the connecting cap 24, and the connecting cap 24 cooperates with the connecting head 23 to clamp the joint 25, the other end of the joint 25 is provided with a positioning convex ring 3 26, the positioning convex ring 3 26 cooperates with the joint 25 to form a positioning ring groove 3 27, the other end of the air supply pipe 6 is inserted into the positioning ring groove 3 27, and the inner wall of the air supply pipe 6 abuts against the outer wall of the positioning convex ring 3 26, and the outer wall of the air supply pipe 6 is in contact with the outer wall of the positioning convex ring 3 26. The inner walls of the second connector 25 abut against each other, thereby ensuring the connection between the air pipe 6 and the second connector 25. Moreover, since the inner wall of the air pipe 6 abuts against the outer wall of the positioning convex ring 3 26, the outer wall of the air pipe 6 abuts against the inner wall of the second connector 25, which can further improve the stability of the connection between the two and ensure the sealing between the two. The second connector 25 is clamped by the connection head 23 threadedly connected to the connecting pipe 22 and the connection cap 24 threadedly connected to the connection head 23, thereby ensuring the stability of the joint. The air pipe 6 is connected to the nozzle 7 through the second connector 25 and the connecting pipe 22.

[0036] A temperature control probe 12 is electrically connected to the control mainboard 2, and the temperature control probe 12 extends to the outside of the box body 14. An electric heating element 13 is provided at the air outlet 9 of the fan 3, and the electric heating element 13 is electrically connected to the control mainboard 2. In the present embodiment, the electric heating element 13 adopts a plurality of electric heating blocks, and the temperature control probe 12 detects the external environment temperature in real time and transmits the temperature data to the control mainboard 2. The control mainboard 2 controls the electric heating element 13 to heat, and adjusts the heating temperature according to the temperature data. After the control mainboard 2 controls the fan 3 to start working, the wind blown out by the fan 3 becomes hot wind under the heating action of the electric heating element 13, thereby improving the drying effect. At the same time, the air outlet temperature is adjusted according to the external temperature, which can effectively improve the user experience. When the external environment temperature is high, the heating power of the electric heating element 13 can be appropriately reduced, or even completely turned off, and only the air outlet of the fan 3 can be relied on for drying to save energy.

[0037] A mounting seat 28 is provided on the joint 16, and a positioning hole 29 is opened on the mounting seat 28. The water pipe 5 is passed through the positioning hole 29, and the water pipe 5 is adapted to the positioning hole 29. The positioning of the water pipe 5 through the positioning hole 29 ensures the stability of the water pipe 5 and prevents the water pipe 5 from vibrating due to external force.

[0038] The mounting base 28 is provided with a threading hole 30 for the power supply line to pass through, and a positioning plug 31 is clamped in the threading hole 30, and the positioning plug 31 is sleeved on the outer wall of the wire. The wire passes through the threading hole 30, the connector 16 and the air duct 6 in sequence, extends into the nozzle 7 and is connected with the sensing module 10 and the sensing module 2 11. It should be noted that the wires are hidden in the connector 16 and the air duct 6 to protect the wires from being accidentally touched or pulled, and to prevent the wires from being damaged by the external environment.

[0039] The positioning plug 31 cooperates with the threading hole 30 to limit the movement of the wires, thereby ensuring the stability of the wires, avoiding the wind generated by the fan 3 from affecting the wires when passing through the connector 16 and the air duct 6, and preventing the wires from being pulled off the control motherboard 2 by the wind.
