[0042] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0043] The following combination Figures 1 to 9 , describing the water outlet device of an embodiment of the present utility model.
[0044] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a water outlet device is provided, which is suitable for use in a shower, and includes a device body 1, a spray gun 2, a control valve 3, a detection device, and a control circuit. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the device body 1 is provided with a water outlet passage for supplying water to the spray gun 2, and a placement portion 101 for placing the spray gun 2. The spray gun 2 and placement portion 101 are detachable, allowing the user to remove the spray gun 2 for flushing as needed. A control valve 3 is provided in the water outlet passage to control the flow of water. A detection device is provided in the placement portion 101 to monitor the position of the spray gun 2, allowing the relative position of the spray gun 2 and the device body 1 to be monitored in real time.
[0045] The control circuit is built into the device body 1, and the control circuit is electrically connected to the control valve 3 and the detection device through wires. The control circuit is used to control the control valve 3 to open or close the water outlet according to the position information. Figure 1 As shown, when the spray gun 2 is placed on the device body 1, the control circuit controls the control valve 3 to close the water outlet passage. At this time, the high-pressure water cannot reach the spray gun 2 and the spray gun 2 cannot discharge water. Figure 3 As shown, when the spray gun 2 is removed from the device body 1 for use, the control circuit controls the control valve 3 to open the water outlet passage, and the spray gun 2 can now discharge water normally for flushing.
[0046] It should be noted that the control circuit controls the control valve 3 to open or close the water outlet passage according to the position of the spray gun 2, which is a mature technical means in the relevant technology. The embodiment of the utility model only uses the control circuit to realize the relevant automatic control function, and does not involve the improvement of its control strategy. For example, the control circuit includes a receiving circuit, a comparison circuit and an output circuit. Among them, the receiving circuit is responsible for receiving the position signal of the spray gun 2 identified by the detection device, for example, including the position signal when the spray gun 2 is on the device body 1, and the position signal when the spray gun 2 is removed from the device body 1. The position signal can be represented by a high and low level signal. The comparison circuit is responsible for comparing the received position signal with the preset reference signal and outputting the valve control signal. The output circuit is responsible for sending the valve control signal generated by the comparison circuit to the corresponding control valve 3 to adjust the valve core action of the control valve 3.
[0047] With this arrangement, the detection device can monitor changes in the position of the spray gun 2, such as when it is placed in or out of the device body 1. Based on this position information, the control valve 3 is controlled to open or close the water outlet of the spray gun 2. Thus, when the user removes the spray gun 2, the water outlet of the spray gun 2 is automatically opened, allowing convenient use of the spray gun 2 for flushing. When the spray gun 2 is replaced, the water outlet of the spray gun 2 is automatically closed, preventing the user from forgetting to operate the spray gun 2 and avoiding bursts, leaks, and other problems in the water pipe connected to the spray gun 2, providing convenient and safe use.
[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the detection device includes a Hall sensor 4, which is arranged on the placement portion 101. Figure 4 As shown, the spray gun 2 is provided with a magnet 5 opposite to the Hall sensor 4, and the Hall sensor 4 is used to sense the position information of the magnet 5. Specifically, as Figure 4 As shown, when the spray gun 2 is placed on the device body 1, the magnet 5 faces the Hall sensor 4, and the Hall sensor 4 senses the magnetic field signal of the magnet 5. At this time, the Hall sensor 4 sends a first sensing signal, and the control circuit controls the control valve 3 to close the water outlet passage of the spray gun 2. Figure 5 As shown, when the spray gun 2 is removed from the device body 1 for use, the magnet 5 is away from the Hall sensor 4 and is outside the sensing range of the Hall sensor 4. At this time, the Hall sensor 4 sends a second sensing signal, and the control circuit controls the control valve 3 to open the water outlet passage of the spray gun 2.
[0049] This arrangement, which utilizes the interaction between the Hall effect sensor 4 and the magnet 5 to detect the position of the spray gun 2, is simple in structure and easy to implement. It can also accurately provide information on the position of the spray gun 2, providing strong support for subsequent automated operations. Of course, in other embodiments, the detection device includes, but is not limited to, the Hall effect sensor 4. Laser sensors, etc., can also be used, and adaptive adjustments can be made to achieve the function of monitoring the position of the spray gun 2.
[0050] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the placement portion 101 includes a first placement rack 1011 and a second placement rack 1012. Specifically, the first placement rack 1011 is located in the device body 1, and the Hall sensor 4 is set on the first placement rack 1011. Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the first placement rack 1011 has a first accommodating cavity 10111, and the second placement rack 1012 is inserted into the first accommodating cavity 10111. Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, the second placement rack 1012 has a second accommodating cavity 10121, and the spray gun 2 is slidably arranged in the second accommodating cavity 10121. Such arrangement, through the cooperation of the first placement rack 1011 and the second placement rack 1012, is convenient for installation and easy to take out the spray gun 2.
[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first mounting bracket 1011 includes a fixing post 10112. The Hall sensor 4 is provided with a connecting portion having a first mounting hole. The fixing post 10112 is provided with a second mounting hole 10113 opposite the first mounting hole. The first and second mounting holes 10113 are used to receive fasteners. Specifically, the second mounting hole 10113 on the fixing post 10112 can be a threaded hole, through which a bolt or screw can be screwed to secure the Hall sensor 4 to the first mounting bracket 1011. This arrangement facilitates reliable fixing of the Hall sensor 4 and facilitates assembly, disassembly, and maintenance of the Hall sensor 4.
[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first placement rack 1011 further includes a groove 10114, which is adapted to the Hall sensor 4 and is placed in the groove 10114. Specifically, Figure 7 As shown, the groove 10114 can be a through groove, aligned with the magnet 5 on the spray gun 2, so that the Hall sensor 4 can more accurately sense the magnet 5. In this way, the groove 10114 can be used to limit and fix the Hall sensor 4, making it easier to align with the magnet 5.
[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the second mounting bracket 1012 includes at least one elastic claw 10122, which abuts against the spray gun 2. It should be noted that the number and position of the elastic claws 10122 can be specifically determined according to actual design requirements. In this arrangement, the elastic claws 10122 can be used to reliably secure the spray gun 2, preventing the spray gun 2 from accidentally slipping and falling.
[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, the water outlet device further includes a matching clamping portion 6 and a clamping slot 7, the clamping portion 6 is inserted into the clamping slot 7, and the clamping portion 6 is slidably connected to the clamping slot 7. One of the first placement rack 1011 and the second placement rack 1012 is provided with a clamping portion 6, and the other is provided with a clamping slot 7. That is, the first placement rack 1011 is provided with a clamping portion 6, and the second placement rack 1012 is correspondingly provided with a clamping slot 7. Alternatively, the second placement rack 1012 is provided with a clamping portion 6, and the first placement rack 1011 is correspondingly provided with a clamping slot 7. For example, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first placement rack 1011 is provided with a clamping portion 6 , and the second placement rack 1012 is provided with a matching clamping slot 7 , and the clamping portion 6 is slidably inserted into the clamping slot 7 .
[0055] In this way, the connection and fixation of the inner and outer racks are achieved through the cooperation between the clamping portion 6 and the clamping slot 7, and the quick assembly and disassembly of the two are facilitated, and the operation is convenient. In addition, the number of the clamping portion 6 and the clamping slot 7 is at least two to improve the reliability of the connection. For example, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, taking two groups of clamping parts 6 and clamping slots 7 as an example, the second placement rack 1012 has clamping slots 7 on both sides thereof, and the first placement rack 1011 has clamping parts 6 on both sides thereof, so that the sliding connection is more stable and reliable.
[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 9 As shown, the water outlet device further includes a protrusion 10123, and the protrusion 10123 is arranged on the second placement rack 1012. Figure 6 As shown, the first placement rack 1011 is provided with an opening 10115 adapted to the protrusion 10123. When the second placement rack 1012 is inserted into the first placement rack 1011, the protrusion 10123 is just inserted into the opening 10115.
[0057] In this way, the protrusion 10123 and the opening 10115 can be used in conjunction with each other to further position and install the second placement rack 1012, thereby improving assembly efficiency and assembly accuracy. Figure 9 As shown, the protrusions 10123 are a pair, and the pair of protrusions 10123 are respectively arranged on both sides of the second placement rack 1012, and the openings 10115 correspond to the protrusions 10123 one by one, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the connection.
[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, control valve 3 is a solenoid valve. This configuration makes the entire device more intelligent and automated, enabling precise regulation of the opening and closing of the water outlet passage of spray gun 2 with rapid response and high control accuracy. Of course, in other embodiments, control valve 3 includes, but is not limited to, a solenoid valve, and may also be an electric valve, etc., with adaptive adjustments to achieve the opening and closing function of the water outlet passage.
[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the device body 1 includes a water outlet pipe 102 and a connecting pipe 103. Specifically, one end of the water outlet pipe 102 is connected to a water source, the other end of the water outlet pipe 102 is connected to one end of the connecting pipe 103, and the other end of the connecting pipe 103 is connected to the spray gun 2. The solenoid valve is disposed at the junction of the water outlet pipe 102 and the connecting pipe 103. In other words, the solenoid valve can be installed at the outlet of the water outlet pipe 102 or at the inlet of the connecting pipe 103. For example, for ease of arrangement, the solenoid valve is installed at the outlet of the water outlet pipe 102.
[0060] Such arrangement facilitates the internal pipeline layout of the device body 1 and facilitates the connection of the spray gun 2 by using the water outlet pipe 102 and the connecting pipe 103. In addition, the connecting pipe 103 can be a hose to meet the use requirements of the spray gun 2.
