The first slot and the second slot can provide a positioning function when the rotating handwheel 100 is installed, and can also limit the rotation amplitude of the rotating handwheel 100 to avoid damaging the mixing valve 260, further enhancing the durability and reliability of the product.

[0044] The first slot and the second slot are symmetrically arranged along the axis of the valve stem 220. This ensures the smoothness and stability of the rotation of the rotating handwheel 100. No matter from which angle the user starts to adjust the water temperature, it can be easily completed, improving the overall user experience.

[0045] A glass sheet 120 is provided outside the digital display screen 160. The glass sheet 120 is adapted to the rotating handwheel 100, and the edge of the glass sheet 120 is flush with the edge of the rotating handwheel 100. The flat surface is not only beautiful but also enables the user's fingers to directly slide across the entire area when adjusting the water temperature without worrying about touching different edges, improving the overall user experience.

[0046] An indicating strip 140 is provided on the outer wall of the rotating handwheel 100, and the indicating strip 140 extends along the axial direction of the rotating handwheel 100. Users can directly adjust the water temperature according to the position of the indicating strip 140, without frequently checking the temperature value on the digital display screen 160, which simplifies the operation process and makes the whole adjustment process more intuitive and convenient.

[0047] The control component further includes a hydraulic generator, which is electrically connected to the digital display screen 160. The addition of the hydraulic generator enables the digital display faucet to work without external power support, simplifies the installation steps, improves the convenience of use, utilizes the water flow of the faucet itself as energy, reduces the frequency of battery replacement, and lowers the long-term operation cost.

[0048] The first convex column 240 is provided with a wire passing hole 170. The outer wall of the lower housing 110 is provided with a first clamping portion 130, and the outer wall of the upper housing 150 is provided with a second clamping portion 190. The first clamping portion 130 and the second clamping portion 190 are provided with semi-circular openings. The centers of the wire passing hole 170, the first clamping portion 130, and the second clamping portion 190 are on the same axis. This simplifies the assembly process, improves the assembly efficiency, and reduces the possibility of the wire being subjected to mechanical stress by reasonably arranging the wire path, thereby enhancing the durability of the product. It can be understood that the sizes of the first clamping portion 130, the second clamping portion 190, and the wire passing hole 170 are adapted to the wires, and the first clamping portion 130, the second clamping portion 190, and the wire passing hole 170

[0049] The first convex column 240 and the second convex column 250 are respectively provided with threaded holes, and the upper housing 150 is fixedly installed on the first convex column 240 and the second convex column 250 through threaded fasteners. This ensures the structural stability of the entire device and avoids loosening or falling off during use.

[0050] The outer wall of the upper housing 150 is provided with a plurality of mounting portions 180, and the plurality of mounting portions 180 are circumferentially spaced along the outer wall of the upper housing 150. The digital display screen 160 is provided with a plurality of buckling portions 230, and the buckling portions 230 are adapted to the mounting portions 180. The digital display screen 160 is installed on the upper housing 150 through the buckling portions 230. By reasonably distributing the mounting portions 180, the pressure on a single part during the installation process can be reduced, thereby reducing the risk of wear or damage caused by long-term use. The snap-fit design makes the disassembly and replacement of the digital display screen 160 very simple, and users can complete it by themselves without professional tools, improving the convenience of maintenance, simplifying the product design, and making the overall structure more concise.

The second convex edge 210 is adapted to the second convex post 250, and the second convex edge 210 is snapped onto the second convex post 250. This simplifies the connection process between the upper housing 150 and the lower housing 110, improves the assembly efficiency, facilitates positioning, and simplifies the assembly process.

[0052] It can be understood that the mixing valve 260 includes a first spline tooth and a second spline tooth. The first spline tooth is arranged on the valve core rod, and the first spline tooth is adapted to the valve post 220 to ensure the smooth transmission of torque between the two. The second spline tooth is arranged on the outer shell of the mixing valve 260. A number of convex teeth are arranged on the inner side wall of the lower housing 110, and the convex teeth are adapted to the second spline tooth. When the valve core rod rotates, the second spline tooth can anchor the mixing valve 260 to prevent the mixing valve 260 from rotating together with the rotating handwheel 100, ensuring that the power applied by the rotating handwheel 100 can be accurately transmitted to the valve core rod.

[0053] In this embodiment, an innovative digital display faucet is provided. The design point lies in the problem that the temperature display screen deflects with the temperature adjustment knob. Through a series of carefully designed components and structures, this digital display faucet realizes accurate temperature control and display, while ensuring smooth operation and the durability of the device.

[0054] Refer to Figures 1 to 8 , the lower housing 110 is provided with a first convex post 240 and a second convex post 250, which are arranged oppositely, and a hollow part is provided in the middle for accommodating the valve post 220. The upper housing 150: is fixedly installed on the first convex post 240 and the second convex post 250, and its side wall is provided with an installation part 180 for installing the digital display screen 160; the rotating handwheel 100: is located between the upper housing 150 and the lower housing 110. The valve post 220 in the middle is adapted to the mixing valve 260, and is cooperated with the first convex post 240 and the second convex post 250 through the first slot and the second slot to achieve non-contact installation, ensuring smooth rotation. The slots are designed as through slots, are annularly distributed, and are symmetric about the axis of the valve post 220, restricting the rotation range of the rotating handwheel 100 and avoiding damage to the mixing valve 260.

[0055] The digital display screen 160 is installed in the installation part 180 of the upper casing 150, and is covered with a glass sheet 120 flush with the edge of the rotating handwheel 100, ensuring the flatness of the operation interface and facilitating cleaning and use. The control component includes a circuit board electrically connected to the digital display screen 160. In addition, a hydraulic generator is integrated to generate kinetic energy from the water flow to supply power to the digital display screen 160, realizing the self-power supply function without an external power source. The first convex post 240 and the second convex post 250 are provided with threaded holes, and the upper casing 150 is fixed by threaded fasteners to ensure the stability and durability of the structure. A plurality of installation parts 180 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction on the outer side wall of the upper casing 150, and the digital display screen 160 is adapted thereto through the buckle part 230 to realize quick installation and disassembly.

[0056] The digital display screen 160 is fixedly installed and will not shift with the rotation of the rotating handwheel 100, facilitating the user to view the temperature at any time and improving the convenience and efficiency of operation. The flat glass sheet 120 covering design and the setting of the indication bar 140 provide intuitive operation feedback and enhance the overall user experience. The separation design of the rotating handwheel 100 and the digital display screen 160 enables more focused temperature adjustment and reduces unnecessary operation steps.
