[0049] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0050] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present application (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0051] In this application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connection", "fixation", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "fixation" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly defined. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0052] In addition, if there are descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the present application, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, the meaning of "and / or" appearing in the full text includes three parallel schemes. Taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes scheme A, or scheme B, or a scheme that satisfies both A and B. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in the field to implement. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by this application.

[0053] Figure 1 The installation directions of sensors of the prior art drinking water equipment are illustrated, and the sensors all face the same direction to sense the user's gestures (all perpendicular to the outer side 210 of the housing 200 of the drinking water equipment 10). The spacing between the first sensor 110' and the second sensor 120' is A, the spacing between the second sensor 120' and the third sensor 130' is A, the spacing between the sensing areas of the first sensor 110' and the second sensor 120' is A, and the spacing between the sensing areas of the second sensor 120' and the third sensor 130' is B. Since the installation space is affected by the internal space of the housing 200, the spacing B is relatively small, which makes it easy to touch by mistake.

[0054] like Figure 2 and Fig.10 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a drinking water device 10, the drinking water device 10 includes a sensing component for controlling the water discharge of the drinking water device 10, the drinking water device 10 includes a housing 200, and the housing 200 has an outer side 210. Figure 2 , 3 As shown in 10, the sensing component includes:

[0055] A first sensor 110, wherein the first sensor 110 is installed on the housing 200 and controls the first valve 321 of the drinking water device 10 to open; and

[0056] The second sensor 120 is used to be installed on the shell 200 and control the second valve 322 of the drinking water equipment 10 to open. The second sensor 120 is spaced apart from the first sensor 110. The sensing direction of the second sensor 120 is set at an angle to the outer surface 210, and the component of the sensing direction of the second sensor 120 on the outer surface 210 is away from the first sensor 110.

[0057] In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, the first sensor 110 is used to control the opening of the first valve 321 of the drinking water equipment 10, and the second sensor 120 is used to control the opening of the second valve 322 of the drinking water equipment 10; the first sensor 110 and the second sensor 120 are both installed on the shell 200, and the sensing direction of the second sensor 120 is set at an angle to the outer side surface 210, and the component of the sensing direction of the second sensor 120 on the outer side surface 210 is away from the first sensor 110, thereby increasing the distance between the sensing area of ​​the second sensor 120 and the sensing area of ​​the first sensor 110, thereby reducing the probability of accidental touch by the user during use.

[0058] Reference Figure 4 As shown, in the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, the distance between the first sensor 110 and the second sensor 120 is A, and the distance between the sensing areas of the first sensor 110 and the second sensor 120 is C. Obviously, C is greater than B, thereby reducing the probability of accidental touch by the user.

[0059] It should be noted that the first valve 321 and the second valve 322 can be a hot water valve and a cold water valve respectively; the first valve 321 and the second valve 322 can also be a hot water valve and a warm water valve respectively; the first valve 321 and the second valve 322 can also be a cold water valve and a warm water valve respectively.

[0060] In an embodiment, the sensing direction of the second sensor 120 is the direction in which the second sensor 120 receives and transmits signals. Similarly, the sensing direction of the first sensor 110 is also the direction in which the second sensor 120 receives and transmits signals. In some embodiments, the sensing direction of the first sensor 110 may be perpendicular to the outer side surface 210, or may be set at an angle to the outer side surface 210 (its component on the outer side surface 210 is opposite to the component of the sensing direction of the second sensor 120 on the outer side surface 210).

[0061] In a specific embodiment, the first sensor 110 and the second sensor 120 both obtain sensing signals by sensing the user's gestures. The outer side 210 is the side facing the user; when the user takes water, the user performs a gesture at a certain distance from the outer side 210 (in a direction perpendicular to the outer side 210), so that the first sensor 110 and the second sensor 120 can generate sensing signals.

[0062] Generally speaking, the drinking water device 10 is provided with a third valve 323. The drinking water device 10 can take hot water, cold water or warm water. As an optional implementation method of the above embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the sensing component also includes: a third sensor 130, which is installed on the shell 200 and is used to control the opening of the second valve 322 of the drinking water device 10; the third sensor 130 is spaced apart from the first sensor 110 and the second sensor 120; the sensing direction of the third sensor 130 is set at an angle to the outer side surface 210, and the component of the sensing direction of the third sensor 130 on the outer side surface 210 is away from the first sensor 110 and the second sensor 120.

[0063] In this embodiment, the third sensor 130 is disposed on the housing 200, and the sensing direction of the third sensor 130 is arranged at an angle to the outer side surface 210, and the component of the sensing direction of the third sensor 130 on the outer side surface 210 is away from the first sensor 110 and the second sensor 120, thereby increasing the distance between the sensing area of ​​the third sensor 130 and the sensing area of ​​the second sensor 120 and the sensing area of ​​the first sensor 110, thereby reducing the probability of accidental touch by the user during use.

[0064] In the embodiment, the first valve 321 may be one of a warm water valve, a hot water valve or a cold water valve; the second valve 322 may be one of a warm water valve, a hot water valve or a cold water valve, and is different from the first valve 321; the third valve 323 may be one of a warm water valve, a hot water valve or a cold water valve, and is different from both the first valve 321 and the second valve 322. For example, the first valve 321 is a warm water valve, the second valve 322 is a cold water valve, and the third valve 323 is a hot water valve. In the embodiment, the first valve 321, the second valve 322 and the third valve 323 may be solenoid valves.

[0065] like Figure 5 As shown, the sensing direction of the second sensor 120 and the sensing direction of the third sensor 130 are set at an angle with the outer side surface 210, and the angle is X°. The angles of the two can be the same or different, and X is less than 90°, such as 30-75°, preferably around 60°, and the specific value is not too limited.

[0066] In some embodiments, the first sensor 110, the second sensor 120 and the third sensor 130 can be arranged in a straight line or in a triangle. The component of the sensing direction of one of the two adjacent sensors on the outer side 210 is opposite to the other, so as to increase the interval between the sensing areas of the two adjacent sensors.

[0067] As an optional implementation method of the above embodiment, Figure 6As shown, the first sensor 110 is arranged between the second sensor 120 and the third sensor 130, and the sensing direction of the first sensor 110 is arranged perpendicularly to the outer side surface 210. In this embodiment, the first sensor 110, the second sensor 120 and the third sensor 130 are arranged in a straight line. The first sensor 110 is located between the second sensor 120 and the third sensor 130. The sensing direction of the first sensor 110 is arranged perpendicularly to the outer side surface 210, that is, the sensing direction of the first sensor 110 has no component on the outer side surface 210, and thus the spacing between the sensing areas of the first sensor 110 and the second sensor 120 and the spacing between the sensing areas of the first sensor 110 and the third sensor 130 can be equal to each other; for example, the second sensor 120 and the third sensor 130 are respectively arranged in a mirror image with the first sensor 110, which is conducive to the use of the drinking water device 10.

[0068] As an optional implementation method of the above embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the distance between the sensing area of ​​the first sensor 110 and the outer side surface 210 is greater than zero; the distance between the sensing area of ​​the second sensor 120 and the outer side surface 210 is greater than zero. That is, when the user takes water, the hand needs to be away from the outer side surface 210 by a certain distance (the distance is greater than or equal to L) so that the first sensor 110 and the second sensor 120 can sense the sensing signal. When an object is located between the sensing area and the outer side surface 210 (the distance is less than L, and this position is a sensing blind area), the first sensor 110 and the second sensor 120 cannot obtain the sensing signal, which can avoid non-purpose water taking, such as accidentally placing an object on the upper part of the first sensor 110 and the second sensor 120, or an unknown liquid is attached to the upper part of the first sensor 110 and the second sensor 120.

[0069] As an optional implementation method of the above embodiment, Figure 7 As shown, the first sensor 110 includes a first mounting member 111, a first emitter 112 and a first receiver 113; the first mounting member 111 is used to be mounted on the housing 200, and the first emitter 112 and the first receiver 113 are mounted on the first mounting member 111; a first isolation column 1111 is provided on the first mounting member 111, and the first emitter 112 and the first receiver 113 are separated by the first isolation column 1111; the emission direction of the first emitter 112 is the sensing direction of the first sensor 110.

[0070] In the embodiment, the first emitter 112 emits a signal, and the first receiver 113 receives the signal. Generally speaking, the signal is an infrared signal. When the user wants to get water, he places his hand above the first sensor 110, and the infrared signal will produce diffuse reflection when encountering the hand. When the first receiver receives the signal after diffuse reflection, the first sensor 110 generates a sensing signal, which controls the first valve 321 to open. The first isolation column 1111 is designed on the first mounting member 111 to block the infrared signal of the first emitter 112 from being directly transmitted to the first receiver 113, so that even if the first emitter 112 and the first receiver 113 are too close, they will not affect each other, and the sensing area of ​​the first sensor 110 can be appropriately away from the outer side 210.

[0071] like Figure 8 As shown, the second sensor 120 includes a second mounting member 121, a second emitter 122 and a second receiver 123; the second mounting member 121 is used to be mounted on the housing 200, and the second emitter 122 and the second receiver 123 are mounted on the second mounting member 121; a second isolation column 1211 is provided on the second mounting member 121, and the second emitter 122 and the second receiver 123 are separated by the second isolation column 1211; the emission direction of the second emitter 122 is the sensing direction of the second sensor 120. The sensing principle of the second sensor 120 is the same as that of the first sensor 110.

[0072] In an embodiment, the emission direction of the second emitter is set at an angle with the outer side surface 210, and the component on the outer side surface 210 is set away from the first sensor 110. By changing the angle between the emission direction of the second emitter and the outer side surface 210, the sensing area of ​​the second sensor 120 can be adjusted; the component of the emission direction of the second emitter on the outer side surface 210 is set away from the first sensor 110, so that the sensing area of ​​the second sensor 120 and the sensing area of ​​the first sensor 110 can be enlarged.

[0073] As an optional implementation of the above embodiment, Figure 7 As shown, the first sensor 110 further includes a first isolation plate 114; the first isolation plate 114 is provided with a first signal transmitting hole 1141 and a first signal receiving hole 1142 which are spaced apart from each other and have parallel axes; the first isolation plate 114 is connected to the first mounting member 111; the first transmitting electrode 112 is arranged corresponding to the first signal transmitting hole 1141, and the first receiving electrode is arranged corresponding to the first signal receiving hole 1142. Figure 8As shown, the second sensor 120 further includes a second isolation plate 124; the second isolation plate 124 is provided with a second signal transmitting hole 1241 and a second signal receiving hole 1242 which are spaced apart from each other and parallel to each other in the axis; the second isolation plate 124 is connected to the second mounting member 121; the second transmitting electrode 122 is arranged corresponding to the second signal transmitting hole 1241, and the second receiving electrode is arranged corresponding to the second signal receiving hole 1242. By arranging the first isolation plate 114 and the second isolation plate 124, it is possible to further realize the transmission and reception of signals at a smaller angle, and at the same sensor spacing, the occurrence of false touches can be greatly reduced.

[0074] In the embodiment, the first signal transmitting hole 1141 is used to transmit the signal emitted by the first emitter 112 to the outer side 210; the first signal receiving hole 1142 is used to guide the signal emitted by the first emitter 112 from the outer side 210 to the position of the first receiving electrode 113 when the user takes water, so as to receive the reflected signal. The second signal transmitting hole 1241 is used to transmit the signal emitted by the second emitter 122 to the outer side 210; the second signal receiving hole 1242 is used to guide the signal emitted by the second emitter 122 from the outer side 210 to the position of the second receiving electrode 123 when the user takes water, so as to receive the reflected signal.

[0075] In an embodiment, in combination Figure 7 and Fig. 9 As shown, the first isolation plate 114 is arranged on the first bottom wall 1114 of the first mounting member 111, and is located on two sides opposite to the first bottom wall 1114 with the first isolation column 1111. The first bottom wall 1114 has two through holes, which respectively correspond to the first signal transmitting hole 1141 and the first signal receiving hole 1142; the second isolation plate 124 is arranged on the second bottom wall of the second mounting member 121, and is located on two sides opposite to the second bottom wall with the second isolation column 1211. The second bottom wall has two through holes, which respectively correspond to the second signal transmitting hole 1241 and the second signal receiving hole 1242.

Figure 8As shown, the second isolation column 1211 has a third mounting hole 1211a and a fourth mounting hole 1211b that are spaced apart and arranged in parallel, the second emitter 122 is installed in the third mounting hole 1211a, and the second receiver is installed in the fourth mounting hole 1211b. The axial direction of the third mounting hole 1211a is arranged at an angle with the outer side surface 210, and the component on the outer side surface 210 is arranged away from the first sensor 110. In an embodiment, the emitter and the receiver are respectively embedded in the corresponding mounting holes. The axial direction of the third mounting hole 1211a determines the sensing direction of the second sensor 120.

[0077] As an optional implementation of the above embodiment, Fig. 9 As shown, the first mounting hole 1111a has a first slot 1111c disposed on its side, the first mounting member 111 has a first positioning buckle 1112, and the first positioning buckle 1112 is disposed next to the first slot 1111c; the first emitter 112 is fixed by the first positioning buckle 1112.

[0081] Combination Figure 2 and Fig.10 As shown, the present application also proposes a drinking water device 10, comprising:

[0082] Housing 200;

[0083] A water tank, the water tank is installed in the housing 200;

[0084] A first water pipe 311, wherein the first water pipe 311 is connected to the water tank;

[0085] A second water pipe 312, the second water pipe 312 is connected to the water tank;

[0086] A first valve 321, provided on the first water pipe 311;

[0087] A second valve 322, provided on the second water pipe 312;

[0088] A controller, the controller is disposed in the housing 200 and is electrically connected to the first valve 321 and the second valve 322 respectively; and the sensing component as described above; the sensing component is mounted on the housing 200 and is electrically connected to the controller;

[0089] When the controller receives the sensing signal from the first sensor 110 , the controller outputs a first control signal to the first valve 321 to control the first valve 321 to open; when the controller receives the sensing signal from the second sensor 120 , the controller outputs a second control signal to the second valve 322 to control the second valve 322 to open.

[0090] The specific structure of the sensing component refers to the above embodiments. Since the sensing component adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described one by one here.

[0091] In some embodiments, the water tank may include any two of the warm water tank 301, the hot water tank 303, or the cold water tank 302. For example, the water tank includes the warm water tank 301 and the cold water tank 302, the first water pipe 311 is connected to the warm water tank 301, and the second water pipe 312 is connected to the cold water tank 302; the first valve 321 is a warm water valve, and the second valve 322 is a cold water valve.

[0092] In some other embodiments, the water tank includes a warm water tank 301, a hot water tank 303 and a cold water tank 302. The drinking water device 10 also includes a first water pipe 311, a second water pipe 312 and a third water pipe 313. The first water pipe 311 is connected to the warm water tank 301, and a first valve 321 is disposed on the first water pipe 311. The second water pipe 312 is connected to the cold water tank 302, and a second valve 322 is disposed on the second water pipe 312. The third water pipe 313 is connected to the hot water tank 303, and a third valve 323 is disposed on the third water pipe 313.

[0093] The first sensor 110 corresponds to the first valve 321, the second sensor 120 corresponds to the second valve 322, and the third sensor 130 corresponds to the third valve 323. When the controller receives the sensing signal of the first sensor 110, it outputs a first control signal to the first valve 321 to control the first valve 321 to open and control the output of warm water; when the controller receives the sensing signal of the second sensor 120, it outputs a second control signal to the second valve 322 to control the second valve 322 to open and control the output of cold water. When the controller receives the sensing signal of the third sensor 130, it outputs a third control signal to the third valve 323 to control the third valve 323 to open and control the output of hot water.

[0094] In some embodiments, the drinking water device 10 further includes a first indicator light, a second indicator light, and a third indicator light. When warm water is discharged, the controller controls the first indicator light to light up; when cold water is discharged, the controller controls the second indicator light to light up; when hot water is discharged, the controller controls the third indicator light to light up.

[0095] In some embodiments, when hot water is needed, the user needs to stay in the sensing area of ​​the third sensor 130 for a preset time (such as 3 seconds, which can be set) and then stay in the sensing area of ​​the third sensor 130 again. The controller will then output a third control signal to the third valve 323 to control the opening of the third valve 323 and control the hot water output. The controller will first unlock the valve to prevent the user from accidentally touching the third sensor 130 and causing the drinking water device 10 to suddenly release hot water, thereby scalding the user.

[0096] In the above embodiment, the correspondence between the first sensor 110, the second sensor 120 and the third sensor 130 and hot water, cold water and warm water can be adjusted according to actual conditions, and the above embodiment is only one example.

[0097] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present application specification and drawings under the application concept of the present application, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
