[0027] like Figure 5 As shown, a sensing probe (not marked) is provided on the surface of the sensing plate 21, and the sensing probe is electrically connected to the central processing unit 6. The central processing unit 6 sequentially controls the start and stop of the water valve 3, the soap pump 4, the water valve 3 and the fan 51, so that the sensing probe in the sensing plate 21 sends a signal to the central processing unit 6 when a user is detected, and the water valve 3, the soap pump 4, the water valve 3 and the fan 51 are sequentially controlled by the central processing unit 6, that is, the central processing unit 6 can automatically control the operation of the subsequent device after controlling the previous device to complete the action.

[0028] A disinfectant outlet (not marked) is also provided below the faucet pipe 2, and a liquid supply sensing probe 214 for sensing the supply of disinfectant is also provided on the sensing plate 21. A pump 7 is connected to the inside of the shell 1, and disinfection pipes (not marked) for absorbing disinfectant and supplying disinfectant to the disinfectant outlet are respectively connected on both sides of the pump 7. The timer also includes a fourth timer 64 for monitoring the running time of the pump 7, so that the faucet pipe 2 also has the effect of supplying disinfectant, that is, the sensing probe in the sensing plate 21 sends a signal to the central processor 6 after detecting the user, and allows the central processor 6 to control the start and stop of the pump 7 to supply disinfectant to the disinfectant outlet, and the working time of the pump is monitored by the fourth timer 64.

[0030] like Figure 4As shown, the integrated multifunctional faucet is individually controlled by detecting multiple sensing probes on the sensing board 21 individually, and then the corresponding water valve 3, soap pump 4, fan 51 or other pump 7 for pumping liquids such as disinfectant is individually controlled by the central processor 6, that is, when the water supply sensing probe 211 senses the user, it sends a signal to the central processor 6 through the sensing board 21, and the central processor 6 controls the water valve 3 to open, so that clean tap water can enter the water valve 3 through the water inlet pipe 31, and then flow into the faucet pipe 2 through the water guide pipe 32. The soap is discharged from the water outlet 22 below, and at the same time, the first timer 61 counts the opening time of the water valve 3, and sends a signal to the central processor 6 after a certain period of time to control the water valve 3 to close again; when the soap liquid sensing probe 212 senses the user, it sends a signal to the central processor 6 through the sensing plate 21, so that the central processor 6 controls the soap liquid pump 4 to work, allowing the soap liquid pump 4 to absorb the soap liquid through the liquid inlet pipe 41, and then guide the soap liquid to the liquid outlet 23 through the liquid guide pipe 42 for discharge, and at the same time, the second timer 62 counts the soap liquid pump 4 The working time is timed so that the central processor 6 can control the soap pump 4 to stop; when the user finishes cleaning, he can place his hand in front of the air supply sensor head 213. The air supply sensor head 213 will detect the user signal and send it to the central processor 6 through the sensor board 21, and the central processor 6 will control the fan 51 to work, so that the fan 51 absorbs air through the air inlet box 5, and enters the air guide cover 54 after being filtered by the internal filter 55 of the air inlet box 5. At the same time, the air is heated by the electric heating wire 53, so that the clean air after heating and filtration enters the hose 11 through the air guide cover 54, and is blown out through the blowing slot 24 for the user to dry. At the same time, the third timer 63 times the working time of the fan 51, so that the central processor 6 can stop the operation of the fan 51. When additional liquid such as disinfectant is needed, the separate liquid supply sensor probe 214 performs user detection, and after detection, the central processor 6 controls the pump 7 to absorb and supply disinfectant separately, and the working time of the pump 7 is monitored by a separate fourth timer 64.

[0031] like Figure 5As shown, the automatic control method of the integrated multifunctional faucet is that when the induction probe on the induction plate 21 receives a user, the induction plate 21 sends a signal to the central processor 6, so that the central processor 6 automatically controls the water valve 3 to open, and performs timely through the first timer 61. After the first timer 61 is completed, the central processor 6 automatically switches to control the soap pump 4 to work, and detects the working time of the soap pump 4 through the second timer 62. After the second timer 62 is completed, the central processor 6 automatically switches to control the water valve 3 to open for the second time, and the first timer 61 performs a second time, and after the first timer 61 is completed, the central processor 6 automatically switches to control the water valve 3 to open for the second time. After the timing is completed, the central processing unit 6 automatically switches to control the operation of the fan 51, and detects the working time of the fan 51 through the third timer 63, so that the central processing unit 6 automatically controls the fan 51 to stop after a certain period of time, thereby completing the automatic supply of a whole set of cleaning materials during the user's cleaning process. When additional liquids such as disinfectants are required, the central processing unit 6 can automatically switch to control the operation of the pump 7 after the timing of the third timer 63 is completed, so that the pump 7 can supply other liquids such as disinfectants, and perform corresponding timing monitoring through the fourth timer 64 to allow the central processing unit 6 to automatically control the pump 7 to stop.

[0032] The beneficial effect of the utility model is that the integrated multifunctional faucet sends a signal to the central processing unit when the sensor plate detects the user, and then the central processing unit controls the corresponding water valve to supply water, the soap pump to supply soap or the fan to blow air for air drying according to the corresponding signal, so that the faucet has multiple functions of supplying clean water, supplying soap and blowing air for air drying, which avoids the secondary contamination that the user may suffer from contacting other soap bottles or air dryers during cleaning, and effectively improves the cleaning convenience and cleaning effect of the user; at the same time, the multiple functions of supplying clean water, supplying soap and blowing air for air drying are combined into one faucet pipe, which also avoids the need for users to purchase other cleaning devices, effectively reduces the cleaning costs required by users, and improves the cleaning convenience of users.
