[0045] Embodiment 1

[0046] The present novel embodiment provides a water discharge device 1000 for automatically monitoring the water volume, comprising: a water outlet platform 100, a detection module 210 and a water receiving platform 200; the water outlet platform 100 and the water receiving platform 200 are arranged relative to each other; the water outlet platform 100 comprises: a water outlet end 110 and an ultrasonic sensor 120; the water outlet of the water outlet end 110 and the detection end of the ultrasonic sensor 120 are both facing the water receiving platform 200; the detection module 210 is used to detect whether a water receiving container 300 is placed on the water receiving platform 200; the water outlet end 110 is used to inject liquid into the water receiving container 300; the ultrasonic sensor 120 is used to detect the liquid level height in the water receiving container 300.

[0047] For details, see Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the structure of a water discharge device for automatically monitoring water volume provided by the embodiment of the utility model shown in the figure is mainly composed of the following parts:

[0048] Water outlet platform 100: This is the basic structure of the entire device, usually fixed to a wall or mounted on a specific bracket. A water outlet 110 is provided inside the water outlet platform 100, which is responsible for guiding the liquid from the water pipe into the water receiving container 300. The water outlet of the water outlet 110 is designed to be able to adjust the flow rate to accommodate water receiving containers 300 of different sizes and types.

[0049] Ultrasonic sensor 120: This is a non-contact detection device, which is installed on the water outlet platform 100, with its detection end facing the water receiving platform 200. The ultrasonic sensor 120 measures the distance of an object, that is, the distance from the liquid surface to the sensor, by emitting ultrasonic waves and receiving their reflected waves. In this way, the liquid level in the water receiving container 300 can be monitored in real time.

[0050] Water-receiving platform 200: This is a platform corresponding to the water-discharging platform 100, used to place the water-receiving container 300. The water-receiving platform 200 usually has anti-slip and waterproof designs to ensure stability and safety during the water-filling process.

[0051] Detection module 210: Judging whether there is a container placed on the water-receiving platform 200 according to a preset program. Once it detects that there is a container placed and the position of the container is correct, the detection module 210 will notify the control unit to start the water outlet 110 to start water injection.

[0052] Furthermore, the working principle of the water-discharging device 1000 that automatically monitors the water volume is as follows: The user places the water-receiving container 300 on the water-receiving platform 200. The detection module 210 immediately starts to work and detects whether there is an object placed on the water-receiving platform 200 through the detection module 210. If it detects that the water-receiving container 300 has been placed, the detection module 210 will send a signal to the control unit to prepare to start the water-filling process.

[0053] When the water injection starts, the water outlet of the water outlet 110 opens, and the water flows into the water-receiving container 300. At the same time, the ultrasonic sensor 120 continuously detects the height of the liquid level and feeds the data back to the control unit. The detection module 210 adjusts the flow rate of the water outlet 110 according to the received data to keep the rising speed of the liquid level in the water-receiving container 300 in line with the preset standard.

[0054] When the liquid level reaches the preset height, the control unit will instruct the water outlet 110 to stop supplying water. At this time, the user can take away the full container, place another empty container to continue receiving water, or turn off the device and wait for the next use.

[0055] The water-discharging device 1000 that automatically monitors the water volume provides a convenient, safe and water-saving automatic water supply solution for users by integrating advanced sensing technologies and intelligent control algorithms. With the development of the Internet of Things and smart home technologies, the popularization and application of such devices will further promote the modernization and intelligence of the lifestyle.

[0056] An embodiment of the present utility model provides a water discharge device for automatically monitoring water volume, comprising: a water outlet platform 100, a detection module 210, and a water receiving platform 200; the water outlet platform 100 and the water receiving platform 200 are oppositely arranged; the water outlet platform 100 includes: a water outlet end 110 and an ultrasonic sensor 120; the water outlet of the water outlet end 110 and the detection end of the ultrasonic sensor 120 both face the water receiving platform 200; the detection module 210 is used to detect whether a water receiving container 300 is placed on the water receiving platform 200; the water outlet end 110 is used to inject liquid into the water receiving container 300; the ultrasonic sensor 120 is used to detect the liquid level height in the water receiving container 300; by intelligently detecting the water receiving container 300 through the detection module 210 and the ultrasonic sensor 120 detecting the liquid level of the solution in the water receiving container 300, intelligent water discharge and stop are realized, improving the intelligence and convenience of the water dispenser 2000. It can accurately control the process of injecting water into the water receiving container 300, ensure that the water volume in the container reaches the preset level, or keep the liquid level height in the container unchanged under specific circumstances. This device can be widely applied in families, offices, public facilities, and industrial environments to save water resources, reduce manual operations, and improve the safety and accuracy of the water injection process, enhancing the user experience.

[0057] Embodiment Two

[0058] Based on the above embodiment, an embodiment of the present utility model provides another water discharge device 1000 for automatically monitoring water volume. The water outlet platform 100 further includes: a first driver 130; the first driver 130 is connected to the ultrasonic sensor 120; the first driver 130 is used to drive the ultrasonic sensor 120 to move in a plane parallel to the water receiving platform.

[0059] Specifically, the first driver 130 is a power device, such as an electric push rod, a stepper motor, or a servo motor, etc., and it is connected to the ultrasonic sensor 120. This driver can precisely control the movement of the ultrasonic sensor 120, enabling it to move in a plane parallel to the water receiving platform. Of course, the above plane is not infinitely extended, and the ultrasonic sensor can move arbitrarily within the range of the water outlet platform. The signal of the sensor can be sent in a wired or wireless manner, and generally, the wireless method is adopted to avoid the entanglement of the signal transmission line that may occur during the movement of the ultrasonic sensor 120, preventing faults caused by line entanglement. This means that the ultrasonic sensor 120 can detect the liquid level in the water receiving container 300 at the most suitable position and angle.

[0060] The addition of the first driver 130 also enables the device to adjust the position of the ultrasonic sensor 120 in real time to compensate for the sensor positioning deviation caused by long-term use or other factors. By continuously calibrating the position of the sensor, the stability and repeatability of the measurement results during long-term use are ensured.

[0061] In the actual operation process, the user only needs to place the water receiving container 300 on the water receiving platform 200, and the detection module 210 immediately sends a signal to activate the ultrasonic sensor 120 and the first driver 130 by the control unit. Driven by the first driver 130, the ultrasonic sensor 120 moves to a suitable position to transmit and receive ultrasonic signals to measure the liquid level. According to the measured liquid level data, the detection module 210 controls the switch and flow rate of the water outlet end 110 until the water level in the water receiving container 300 reaches the preset height.

[0062] Further, refer to Figure 2 As shown in the schematic diagram of the sensing signal of an ultrasonic sensor 120 provided by an embodiment of the present invention, the ordinate represents the signal intensity of the ultrasonic sensor 120, and the abscissa represents time. The ultrasonic sensor 120 is driven by the first driver 130 to move in a direction perpendicular to the orientation of the detection end. When the detection module 210 detects that there is a water receiving container 300 placed on the water receiving platform 200, the control unit drives the ultrasonic sensor 120 to move through the first driver 130. In the time period from 0 to T1, the signal received by the ultrasonic sensor 120 is reflected back by the water receiving platform 200, and the signal intensity is relatively high. In the time period from T1 to T2, the ultrasonic sensor 120 passes by the side wall of the water receiving container 300. At the moment T2, the signal received by the ultrasonic sensor 120 is reflected back through the bottom of the water receiving container 300. At this time, the amplitude of the signal intensity is lower than that of the water receiving platform 200 and higher than that of the container side wall.

[0063] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, during the movement of the ultrasonic sensor 120, when the ultrasonic sensor 120 is aligned with the bottom of the container, the control unit sends a signal to open the water discharge end to inject liquid into the container. When the signal intensity of the ultrasonic sensor 120 is slightly higher than the minimum amplitude of the ultrasonic sensor 120 in the time period from T1 to T2 at the moment T4, the injection of liquid is stopped.

[0064] This design of the water outlet platform 100 with the first driver 130 not only improves the intelligent level of the automatic water volume monitoring and discharging device, but also further enhances the adaptability and measurement accuracy of the device in various usage environments by precisely controlling the position of the ultrasonic sensor 120. Such a design makes the automatic water volume monitoring and discharging device 1000 more in line with the requirements of modern smart homes and public facilities, providing a more convenient and intelligent water usage experience for users.

[0065] In the water discharge device 1000 for automatically monitoring water volume, the design of the water outlet platform 100 has been further optimized and improved. By adding the first driver 130, the dynamic adjustment function of the ultrasonic sensor 120 is realized. This design enables the ultrasonic sensor 120 to more flexibly adapt to water receiving containers 300 of different sizes and shapes, improving the accuracy and reliability of detection.

[0066] Furthermore, in some preferred embodiments of the present utility model, the first driver 130 is a motor.

[0067] Specifically, in the design of the water discharge device 1000 for automatically monitoring water volume, the first driver 130 is specifically a type of motor, such as a stepper motor or a servo motor. This motor is integrated inside the water outlet platform 100 and is connected to the ultrasonic sensor 120. Its main task is to drive the ultrasonic sensor 120 to perform precise movements so as to adapt to water receiving containers 300 at different heights and ensure the accuracy of liquid level monitoring. Selecting a motor as the first driver 130 offers many advantages. First of all, the motor can provide smooth and repeatable movements, which is crucial for the positioning of the ultrasonic sensor 120. Secondly, the motor can be easily controlled by electronic control signals, making its response speed fast and positioning accuracy high, thus meeting the requirements of rapid adjustment. In addition, the motor also supports remote control and automated operation, conforming to the trend of modern smart home devices.

[0068] Furthermore, in some preferred embodiments of the present utility model, the water outlet platform further includes a transmission mechanism, and the transmission mechanism is connected to the motor; a placement area extending in the first direction is provided on the water receiving platform, and the water receiving container can be placed at any position in the placement area along the first direction, and the transmission mechanism is used to drive the ultrasonic sensor to reciprocate along the first direction.

[0069] Specifically, referring to Figure 3 the structural schematic diagram of another water discharge device for automatically monitoring water volume provided by the embodiment of the present utility model shown in and Figure 4 the top view of a water outlet and receiving platform provided by the present utility model shown in, the core function of the transmission mechanism is to drive the ultrasonic sensor to perform precise reciprocating movements. This design enables the ultrasonic sensor to scan back and forth along the first direction, that is, the extending direction of the placement area. Such reciprocating movements greatly expand the detection range of the sensor, ensuring comprehensive and detailed detection of the water receiving containers within the entire placement area. Whether it is the position of the container, the height of the water level, or the change in water quality, they can all be accurately captured by the ultrasonic sensor and analyzed and processed by the corresponding data processing system. In Figure 4 it, the first direction is the direction where the long side of the water receiving platform 200 is located.

[0070] Further, in some preferred embodiments of the present utility model, the water outlet platform 100 further includes: a second driver 140; the second driver 140 is connected to the water outlet end 110; the second driver 140 is used to drive the water outlet end 110 to move in a plane parallel to the water receiving platform.

[0071] Specifically, in the design of the water discharging device 1000 for automatically monitoring the water volume, the addition of the second driver 140 further enhances the functionality and flexibility of the device. Similar to the first driver 130, the second driver 140 is also a power mechanism, usually in the form of a motor, such as a stepper motor or a servo motor. Different from the first driver 130, the second driver 140 is connected to the water outlet end 110 and is responsible for driving the water outlet end 110 to move in a plane parallel to the water receiving platform. This design allows the water outlet end 110 to adjust its position according to the size and shape of the water receiving container 300, ensuring that water can be accurately injected into the container. When a user places a water receiving container 300 on the water receiving platform 200, the detection module 210 not only activates the first driver 130 to adjust the position of the ultrasonic sensor 120, but also triggers the second driver 140 to adjust the position of the water outlet end 110.

[0072] Further, in practical applications, the first driver 130 and the second driver 140 can work together. Before the water injection operation, the detection module 210 first determines the position and height of the container through the ultrasonic sensor 120, and then instructs the first driver 130 and the second driver 140 to adjust the ultrasonic sensor 120 and the water outlet end 110 to appropriate positions respectively. During this process, the detection module 210 continuously receives feedback from the ultrasonic sensor 120 and adjusts the movements of the two drivers according to the real-time data to maintain the best monitoring and water injection effects.

[0073] Further, in some preferred embodiments of the present utility model, the water outlet end 110 can also reciprocate in the first direction.

[0074] Further, in some preferred embodiments of the present utility model, the water outlet platform 100 further includes: a third driver; the third driver is connected to the water outlet end 110; the third driver is used to drive the water outlet end 110 to move in a direction parallel to the orientation of the water outlet.

[0075] Specifically, the third driver can adjust the height of the water outlet end 110. For example, if the placed container is relatively short, the second driver 140 will move the water outlet end 110 downward, bringing the water outlet closer to the opening part of the container, thereby reducing water splashing and avoiding overflow caused by water flow impact. On the contrary, for a taller container, the second driver 140 will lift the water outlet end 110 to ensure that the water flow can smoothly fall into the container.

[0076] Furthermore, through the collaborative control of the second driver 140 and the third driver, it helps to achieve laminar flow water injection, that is, to let the water flow into the container at a relatively low flow rate and a constant volume, which is particularly important for occasions where precise water volume control is required.

[0077] Furthermore, in some preferred embodiments of the present utility model, the detection module 210 includes: at least one sensor, and the sensor is a proximity switch or a pressure sensor.

[0078] Specifically, the detection module 210, as the core part of the automatic monitoring water discharge device, can monitor the entire device. This module includes at least one sensor, and these sensors can be proximity switches or pressure sensors, which can detect whether there is a container placed on the water receiving platform 200 and whether the position of the container is correct.

[0079] A proximity switch is a sensor that can detect the proximity of an object without contacting it. It usually uses principles such as electromagnetic fields, infrared rays, or ultrasonic waves to detect the presence of an object. In the water discharge device, the proximity switch can be installed below or on the side of the water receiving platform 200. When a container approaches, the proximity switch will sense the presence of the object and send a signal to the detection module 210, indicating that a container is in place and ready to receive water. The pressure sensor determines whether there is a container placed by sensing the change in pressure borne by the platform. When a container is placed on the water receiving platform 200, it exerts a certain weight on the platform, and the pressure sensor can detect this pressure change and transmit the corresponding signal to the detection module 210. These two sensors each have their own advantages. The proximity switch can detect the approach of the container earlier, so as to make preparations in advance; while the pressure sensor can more accurately determine whether the container has indeed been placed on the platform, and can also estimate the weight of the container through the change in pressure, so as to be applicable to application scenarios where the water injection volume needs to be determined according to the weight of the container.

[0080] In practical applications, the detection module 210 may use both a proximity switch and a pressure sensor at the same time. In this way, the device first quickly detects the approach of an object through the proximity switch, and then confirms that the container has been correctly placed through the pressure sensor, and provides more detailed information to decide how to perform the next operation.

[0081] In addition, in combination with the application of the ultrasonic sensor 120 and the first, second, and third drivers, the control unit can comprehensively process data from different sensors to implement more complex control logics. For example, during the water injection process, if the pressure sensor detects a sudden drop in pressure, the detection module 210 can immediately instruct the second driver 140 to stop discharging water and notify the user that the container may be full or has been removed.

[0082] In summary, the design of the detection module 210 allows the automatic monitoring of the water discharge device to operate in an efficient and intelligent manner. By the collaborative work of different types of sensors, it not only improves the operation convenience and flexibility of the device, but also greatly enhances the safety and reliability of the device. This makes the device very suitable for household, commercial or public facility environments with high automation requirements.

[0083] Furthermore, referring to Figure 5 the structural schematic diagram of another water discharge device for automatically monitoring water volume provided by the embodiment of the present utility model. In some preferred embodiments of the present utility model, the water discharge device 1000 for automatically monitoring water volume further includes: a water storage tank 400; the water storage tank 400 is connected to the water outlet end 110 through a pipeline 500 and a water pump 600. The water storage tank 400 includes: a water volume detection module 210 and a pressure relief valve 800; the water volume detection module 210 is used to detect the volume of the liquid in the water storage tank 400; the cavity in the water storage tank 400 is communicated with the outside through the pressure relief valve 800.

[0084] Specifically, in the water discharge device 1000 for automatically monitoring water volume, the water storage tank 400 is a key component, which is used to store the water to be injected into the water receiving container 300. The design of the water storage tank 400 includes several important functional modules, including the water volume detection module 210 and the pressure relief valve 800, and these functional modules ensure the efficient, safe and stable operation of the device.

[0085] The water storage tank 400 is connected to the water outlet end 110 through a pipeline 500 and a water pump 600. The water pump 600 is responsible for transporting the water from the water storage tank 400 to the water outlet end 110. In a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the device further includes a water intake pipe, and the water pump 600 reverses to inject liquid into the water storage tank 400 through the water intake pipe. The water pump 600 can be an electric device, such as a centrifugal pump or a gear pump, which provides the necessary pressure and flow rate to ensure that the water can flow smoothly to the water outlet end 110.

[0086] The water volume detection module 210 in the water storage tank 400 is used to monitor the volume of the liquid in the water storage tank 400. This module may include a float switch, an ultrasonic sensor 120, a liquid level sensor or a weight sensor, etc., which can provide accurate information about the current water volume in the water storage tank 400 to the control unit. When the water volume is lower than the preset threshold, the control unit can trigger an alarm to remind the user to add water, or automatically start the water replenishment function when the device is connected to a water source.

[0087] The cavity inside the water storage tank 400 is connected to the outside through a pressure relief valve 800. The pressure relief valve 800 is a safety device used to prevent danger caused by excessive pressure inside the water storage tank 400. If the pressure inside the water storage tank 400 rises beyond the safe range due to temperature changes, reverse rotation of the water pump 600, or other reasons, the pressure relief valve 800 will automatically open, allowing gas to escape from the water storage tank 400 to reduce the internal pressure. This can protect the water storage tank 400 from damage caused by excessive pressure and ensure safety during use.

[0088] The water storage tank 400 and its attached modules and components enable the automatic water discharge device 1000 for automatically monitoring the water volume to not only automatically fill water as needed but also ensure the stability and safety of water supply, while facilitating maintenance by users and replenishing water sources. This makes the entire device more perfect and capable of providing reliable and convenient services to users in various environments.

[0089] Furthermore, the water storage tank 400 may also be equipped with other functions, such as a thermal insulation layer, an anti-corrosion coating, a cleaning interface, etc. These designs can enhance the performance and service life of the water storage tank 400 according to actual needs.
