[0032] The current interactive temperature control method of water purifiers is generally to control the temperature through touch screen options or by pressing buttons of fixed temperature ranges. However, this interactive temperature control method has the following problems: first, for users who lack some fingers, this interactive temperature control method has certain obstacles; second, if the user's hands are stained with water or oil, the touch screen or buttons are likely to fail to sense or make wrong sense; third, the user is likely to come into contact with bacteria and dirt on the machine body by touching or pressing the machine, which poses certain health risks.

[0033] In order to improve the above situation, the utility model proposes a water purifier, which aims to automatically sense the user's temperature adjustment operation through a non-contact sensing unit 111 to achieve contactless temperature adjustment, thereby reducing the probability of contact between the user and harmful substances such as bacteria and dirt on the body 100, and improving the hygiene and health of the user's drinking water.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of the present utility model, the water purifier comprises:

[0035] Body 100;

[0036] A non-contact sensing component 110 is disposed on the body 100, and the non-contact sensing component 110 includes a plurality of non-contact sensing units 111, and the non-contact sensing units 111 are used to output corresponding sensing signals;

[0037] A display component 120, provided on the body 100, for displaying the temperature in a working state;

[0038] The control component 130 is disposed in the body 100 and is electrically connected to the non-contact sensing component 110 and the display component 120 respectively; and is used to adjust the temperature of the water purifier according to the sensing signal when receiving the sensing signal, and control the display component 120 to display the temperature.

[0039] Optionally, the body 100 may include but is not limited to a housing 101, a water outlet component 102, a water storage component, a filter component, and a heating component. The housing 101 may be implemented by a rectangular housing or a housing of other shapes. In the present embodiment, the housing 101 is implemented by an irregularly shaped housing 101, and the housing 101 includes a main housing 101a, a water receiving platform 101c, and a water outlet platform 101b, one end of the water receiving platform 101c and the water outlet platform 101b are respectively connected to the two ends of the main housing 101a in the length direction, and the other ends of the water receiving platform 101c and the water outlet platform 101b are respectively extended along the thickness direction of the main housing 101a, and the water receiving platform 101c and the water outlet platform 101b are relatively arranged along the length direction of the main housing 101a. The water storage assembly is mounted on the main housing 101a of the housing 101. The water storage assembly includes a raw water tank and a clean water tank that are interconnected. The raw water tank is used to store raw water, and the clean water tank is used to store clean water obtained after the raw water is filtered by the filtering assembly. The heating assembly is used to supply heat to the clean water tank to convert at least a portion of the clean water stored in the clean water tank into hot water. The water outlet assembly 102 is mounted on the water outlet platform 101b of the housing 101 and is arranged toward the water receiving platform 101c, and is used to transport the clean water in the clean water tank to the water receiving container on the water receiving platform 101c when in working state.

[0040] In this embodiment, a non-contact sensing component 110 is disposed on the first outer wall of the body 100 , wherein the first outer wall of the body 100 is the outer wall of the water outlet platform 101 b . The non-contact sensing component 110 includes a plurality of non-contact sensing units 111 .

[0041] Optionally, a plurality of non-contact sensing units 111 may be spaced apart on the first outer wall of the body 100 along the height direction, or a plurality of non-contact sensing units may be spaced apart on the first outer wall of the body 100 along the horizontal direction. In the present embodiment, a plurality of non-contact sensing units 111 are spaced apart on the first outer wall of the body 100 along the horizontal direction. Optionally, the spacing between any two adjacent non-contact sensing units 111 is not less than 20 cm and not more than 40 cm. Optionally, the number of non-contact sensing units 111 is 4-12. In the present embodiment, the number of non-contact sensing units 111 is 5.

[0042] Optionally, the non-contact sensing unit 111 can be implemented by an infrared sensor, a capacitive sensor, or a photoelectric sensor. In this embodiment, the non-contact sensing unit 111 is implemented by a photoelectric sensor. The photoelectric sensor is used to emit a sensing light in the thickness direction of the body 100 in the working state, and output a corresponding sensing signal to the control component 130 when the sensing light senses a target, wherein the target in this embodiment refers to the user's finger.

[0043] Optionally, the angle between the two side edges of the sensing light emitted by the non-contact sensing component 110 is defined as the detection angle, and the range of the detection angle is not less than 0 degree and not more than 120 degrees; the distance of the sensing light emitted by the non-contact sensing component 110 along the third direction is defined as the detection distance, and the range of the detection distance is not less than 0 centimeters and not more than 10 centimeters, wherein the third direction is the thickness direction of the body 100.

[0044] In this embodiment, the control component 130 is installed in the main shell 101a of the body 100 and is electrically connected to the non-contact sensing component 110. It should be noted that the control component 130 includes a control unit and a storage unit electrically connected to the control unit, and the storage unit stores a corresponding temperature segment for each non-contact sensing unit 111. The interval range of each temperature segment is the same, but the interval range value of each temperature segment is different. For example, the interval range of the temperature segment of one non-contact sensing unit 111 is 0-20°C, and the interval range of the temperature segment of another non-contact sensing unit 111 can be 20-40°C. The interval ranges of the temperature segments of other non-contact sensing units 111 are similar to the interval ranges mentioned above, and will not be repeated here. From the above content, it can be seen that there are 5 non-contact sensing units 111 in this embodiment, and the 5 non-contact sensing units 111 are arranged at radial intervals along the main shell 101a of the body 100. Therefore, in order to facilitate user use, the interval range values ​​of the temperature segments corresponding to the 5 non-contact sensing units 111 of this embodiment increase successively along the radial direction of the main shell 101a of the body 100, specifically 0-20℃, 20-40℃, 40-60℃, 60-80℃ and 80-100℃.

[0045] For ease of understanding, this embodiment will explain the program running part of the control component 130, as follows: In actual application, when the user's finger is placed in front of any non-contact sensing unit 111, the non-contact sensing unit 111 corresponding to the user's finger will output a corresponding sensing signal to the control component 130. The control component 130 determines the temperature segment corresponding to the non-contact sensing unit 111 according to the received sensing signal, and adjusts the current temperature of the water purifier to the determined temperature segment, that is, controls the heating component to heat the current temperature of at least a portion of the clean water stored in the clean water tank to the determined temperature segment. For example, when the current temperature of the clean water stored in the clean water tank is 5°C, the interval range of the determined temperature segment is 10-20°C, and the control component 130 controls the heating component to adjust the temperature of at least a portion of the clean water stored in the clean water tank from 5°C to within the interval range of 10-20°C.

[0046] Based on the above content, in order to allow the user to determine whether the current temperature of the water purifier has been adjusted to the desired temperature, the control component 130 of this embodiment is also electrically connected to the display component 120. Optionally, the display component 120 can be implemented by a display screen, such as a CRT display screen (crystal tube display) and an LCD display screen (liquid crystal display), and no special restrictions are made here.

[0047] Optionally, the display component 120 is mounted on the first outer wall of the body 100 , and the display component 120 and the non-contact sensing component 110 are spaced apart in the height direction of the body 100 , and the display component 120 is located above the non-contact sensing component 110 for user viewing.

[0048] It is worth noting that when the user's finger moves between the multiple non-contact sensing units 111, the temperature range determined by the control component 130 will change with the change of the position of the user's finger, and the temperature displayed on the display screen will also change. For example, when the user's finger gradually moves from one non-contact sensing unit 111 to another non-contact sensing unit 111 along the radial direction of the main shell 101a of the body 100, the temperature range determined by the control component 130 may change from 20-40°C to 40-60°C, and the temperature displayed on the corresponding display screen will also gradually change from 20-40°C to 40-60°C.

[0049] The technical solution of the utility model is provided by setting a body 100, a non-contact sensing component 110, a display component 120 and a control component 130; the non-contact sensing component 110 is provided on the body 100, and the non-contact sensing component 110 includes a plurality of non-contact sensing units 111, and the non-contact sensing units 111 are used to output corresponding sensing signals; the display component 120 is provided on the body 100, and is used to display the temperature in the working state; the control component 130 is provided on the body 100, and the control component 130 is electrically connected to the non-contact sensing component 110 and the display component 120 respectively; and is used to adjust the temperature of the water purifier according to the sensing signal when receiving the sensing signal, and control the display component 120 to display the temperature. The technical solution of the utility model automatically senses the user's temperature adjustment operation through the non-contact sensing unit 111, and the temperature can be adjusted without the user touching the water purifier, which can effectively reduce the probability of the user contacting with harmful substances such as bacteria and dirt on the body 100, and is more beneficial to hygiene and health than the existing touch-type temperature adjustment. Moreover, the temperature after adjustment by the water purifier is displayed on the display assembly 120, so that the user can more intuitively understand the temperature adjustment status of the water purifier.

[0050] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Optionally, in an embodiment of the present utility model, the non-contact sensing component 110 further includes a shell 112 , the shell 112 is disposed on the body 100 , and the plurality of non-contact sensing units 111 are disposed in the shell 112 .

[0051] Optionally, the housing 112 may be implemented as a rectangular housing or a housing of other shapes. In this embodiment, the housing 112 is implemented as a rectangular housing, and a receiving cavity is formed in the rectangular housing to receive a plurality of non-contact sensing units 111, so as to avoid the plurality of non-contact sensing units 111 being directly mounted on the housing 101 of the machine body 100. At the same time, the housing 112 also protects the non-contact sensing units 111.

[0054] The detection component 140 is used to output a corresponding detection signal to the control component 130 when detecting that there is a water receiving container on the water receiving platform 101c.

[0055] In this embodiment, the housing 101 includes a main housing 101a, a water receiving platform 101c and a water outlet platform 101b, one end of the water receiving platform 101c and the water outlet platform 101b are respectively connected to the two ends of the main housing 101a in the length direction, and the other ends of the water receiving platform 101c and the water outlet platform 101b are respectively extended along the thickness direction of the main housing 101a, and the water receiving platform 101c and the water outlet platform 101b are arranged opposite to each other along the length direction of the main housing 101a. The water outlet assembly 102 is installed on the water outlet platform 101b of the housing 101 and is arranged toward the water receiving platform 101c, and is used to transport the clean water in the clean water tank to the water receiving container on the water receiving platform 101c when in the working state.

[0056] Based on the above, the water outlet platform 101b of the housing 101 of the present embodiment is provided with a detection component 140. Optionally, the detection component 140 can be implemented by a camera, and the model of the camera is not particularly limited here. The camera is electrically connected to the control component 130, and is used to detect whether the water receiving platform 101c is in the water receiving container, and when it is detected that the water receiving platform 101c has a water receiving container, a corresponding camera detection signal is output to the control component 130. The control component 130 controls the water outlet component 102 to open according to the received camera detection signal, so that the clean water that has been heated in the clean water tank can be automatically transported to the water receiving container, and no manual operation is required when receiving water, which improves the intelligence of the water purifier of the present embodiment.
