[0022] Example
[0023] The following are only preferred implementations of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments. All technical solutions under the concept of the present invention fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0024] Reference Manual Figure 1-4A smart faucet includes a faucet body 1, a cup position recognition sensor disposed in the middle of the faucet body, and a cup full recognition sensor 10 located on the water outlet side of the faucet body. A guide rail 8 is connected to the lower portion of the faucet body 1. The faucet body 1 is slidably connected to the guide rail 8 (the faucet body 1 can slide up and down along the guide rail 8). The guide rail is disposed vertically (perpendicular to the horizontal plane), and the faucet body 1 can slide up and down along the guide rail 8 to adjust the height of the water outlet of the faucet body 1. A base 2 is disposed at the lower portion of the faucet body 1. The guide rail 8 is located below the base 2 and the faucet body is disposed through the base. A drain tray 3 is disposed on the base 2 corresponding to the water outlet 11 of the faucet body. Pulleys (an upper pulley 12 and a lower pulley 14) are disposed at the upper and lower ends of the guide rail 8. The pulleys are connected by a belt 13. The guide rail 8 is provided with a rotary motor 15 to rotate the pulleys, thereby adjusting the height of the water outlet 11 of the faucet body 1. The upper and lower sides of the guide rail are respectively provided with upper and lower guide rail end covers (upper guide rail end cover 7 and lower guide rail end cover 9), and the pulleys at the upper and lower ends are respectively provided in the upper and lower guide rail end covers. A control panel is provided in the faucet body 1, and the control panel is used to control the smart faucet to be in working state or storage state; when the smart faucet is in working state, the rotating motor 15 drives the faucet body 1 to rise, and the water outlet 11 of the faucet body 1 is away from the drain tray 3. The control panel can identify whether there is a cup through the cup position recognition sensor (the cup position sensor is specifically an infrared sensor). When the presence of a cup is recognized, the faucet body can be controlled to discharge water through the water outlet 11. At the same time, the control panel can identify whether the water in the cup is full through the cup full recognition sensor. Whether the cup is full, if it is, the water outlet 11 of the faucet body can be controlled to stop discharging water. The cup-full recognition sensor is specifically a photoelectric sensor (which determines the water level by identifying the reflection time of the light it emits); when the smart faucet is in the storage state, the rotating motor 15 drives the faucet body to descend, and the water outlet 11 of the faucet body approaches the drain pan until the water outlet 11 contacts the drain pan 3. The drain pan 3 is provided with a groove that matches the outlet (to ensure that the water outlet 11 of the faucet body 1 is in a closed state to prevent contamination by dust in the air). The control panel is also provided with a module for receiving remote control signals, which can send a signal for adjusting the height of the faucet body 1 to the control panel through the corresponding remote control to control the rising height of the faucet body 1 and its own working state (in working state or storage state). The smart faucet can only adjust its own height when it is in working state.
[0025] The above embodiments are intended only to illustrate the technical concepts and features of the present invention. Their purpose is to enable those familiar with the art to understand the contents of the present invention and implement them accordingly. They are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications based on the spirit of the present invention are intended to be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
