DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0024] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, an electronic temperature control structure of a shower comprises a mixing valve body 1, an adjusting component 2 is arranged in the mixing valve body 1, the adjusting component 2 is connected to a driving component 3, a water outlet pipe 101 is arranged on one side of the mixing valve body 1, a hot water pipe 102 and a cold water pipe 103 are arranged on the other side of the mixing valve body 1, the adjusting component 2 is provided with a hot water hole 201 and a cold water hole 202, the hot water pipe 102, the hot water hole 201 and the water outlet pipe 101 are connected to form a hot water path, the cold water pipe 103, the cold water hole 202 and the water outlet pipe 101 are connected to form a cold water path, the adjusting component 2 slides laterally in the mixing valve body 1 to change the flow area of ​​the hot water path and the cold water path, and adjust the outlet water temperature of the water outlet pipe 101, and the automatic temperature control method can make the water temperature adjustment more accurate and more convenient to use.

[0025] Specifically, Figures 2 to 4As shown, a pressure relief hole 203 is provided at one end of the regulating component 2, and a connecting hole 204 is provided at the other end of the regulating component 2. The moving rod of the driving component 3 is threadedly connected to the connecting hole 204. A mounting cavity 104 is provided in the mixing valve body 1. The regulating component 2 is provided on the mounting cavity 104. The mounting cavity 104 is relatively provided with a hot water guide channel 105 and a cold water guide channel 106. The hot water pipe 102, the hot water hole 201, the hot water guide channel 105 and the water outlet pipe 101 are connected, and the cold water pipe 103, the cold water hole 202, the cold water guide channel 106 and the water outlet pipe 101 are connected. The driving component 3 is a linear motion The motor can drive the adjustment component 2 to move horizontally through the linear motion motor. When the adjustment component 2 moves forward, the overlapping area between the hot water pipe 102 and the hot water hole 201 will increase, so that the amount of hot water entering the hot water guide channel 105 will increase, and the overlapping area between the cold water pipe 103 and the cold water hole 202 will decrease, so that the amount of cold water entering the cold water guide channel 106 will decrease, so that the temperature of the mixed water in the outlet pipe 101 will slowly increase, and temperature regulation will be achieved; if the adjustment component 2 moves in the opposite direction, the amount of hot water and cold water entering will also be opposite, and the temperature of the mixed water in the outlet pipe 101 will slowly decrease, and temperature regulation will be achieved to adapt to the regulation of different temperatures.

[0026] The hot water guide channel 105 and the cold water guide channel 106 are relatively inclined, and the water inlet angle is 30 degrees, which effectively avoids the phenomenon that the hot and cold water flows entering the water outlet channel 101 generate counter-turbulence, thereby causing losses and affecting the flow rate.

[0027] A recess 205 is provided between the hot water hole 201 and the cold water hole 202 , and a first sealing ring 206 is provided at the recess 205 . The first sealing ring 206 acts as a sealing interval to effectively prevent the cold and hot water entering the regulating component 2 from mixing and affecting the outlet water temperature of the outlet pipe 101 .

[0028] A limiting protrusion 1041 is provided on the inner side of the installation cavity 104, and the hot water diversion channel 105 is provided on the limiting protrusion 1041. A limiting groove 207 and a pressure relief groove 208 are provided on the outer surface of the adjustment component 2. The hot water hole 201 is provided on the limiting groove 207, and the cold water hole 202 is provided on the pressure relief groove 208. The limiting protrusion 1041 and the limiting groove 207 are used in correspondence. When assembling the adjustment component 2, when the adjustment component 2 is inserted into the installation cavity 104, the limiting protrusion 1041 and the limiting groove 207 must be installed in correspondence to each other for successful assembly, so as to ensure that the hot water hole 201 and the cold water hole 202 are oriented accurately to facilitate the transmission and temperature adjustment of hot and cold water.

[0029] The pressure relief groove 208 and the pressure relief hole 203 both have a pressure relief function to relieve the pressure generated when the adjustment component 2 moves laterally in the installation cavity 104, thereby ensuring that the adjustment component 2 has a balanced force throughout the entire movement.

[0030] The outlet water pipe 101, the hot water pipe 102 and the cold water pipe 103 are all threadedly connected with a temperature sensing probe 4, which can measure the water temperature in the outlet water pipe 101, the hot water pipe 102 and the cold water pipe 103 in real time as a reference for adjusting the mixing ratio of the adjusting component 2, so that the adjusting component 2 can be adjusted to the mixing ratio of the target temperature.

[0031] A sealing cover 5 is threadedly connected to the end of the installation cavity 104, and an installation position 501 is set in the middle of the sealing cover 5. The driving component 3 is plugged into the installation position 501. The sealing cover 104 is a sealing component of the mixing valve body 1 and also supports the driving component 3. At the same time, the installation position 501 can facilitate the movement of the moving rod of the driving component therein.

[0032] A second sealing ring 6 is provided between the moving rod of the driving assembly 3 and the sealing cover 5. The second sealing ring 6 is a sealing member when the driving assembly 3 and the sealing cover 5 cooperate to prevent water leakage when the moving rod of the driving assembly 3 moves.

[0033] Working principle: first move the adjustment component 2 to the corresponding position according to the temperature to be adjusted. Hot water enters from the hot water pipe 102, then enters the hot water diversion channel 105 through the hot water hole 201, and flows into the water outlet pipe 101. At the same time, cold water enters from the cold water pipe 103, then enters the cold water diversion channel 106 through the cold water hole 202, and flows into the water outlet pipe 101. At the same time, the cold and hot water entering the water outlet pipe 101 are mixed and then flow out from the water outlet pipe 101. The temperature is measured in real time by three temperature sensing probes 4, and the drive component 3 is fine-tuned with real-time feedback control. The above low-torque and low-power structure ensures that the instructions are completed quickly, and the temperature adjustment is realized in real time and accurately.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. However, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
