Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drainer technology, and more specifically, to a drainer with an alarm device. Background Technology

[0002] The main function of a drain is to guide and process drainage, preventing water accumulation. With the improvement of people's living standards, more and more home appliances are entering people's homes, such as dishwashers, small water heaters, and water purifiers. However, existing drains, such as the one disclosed in utility model patent CN221702597U, use a uniform diameter drain head, which cannot be directly connected to the drain pipes of the aforementioned home appliances, resulting in a relatively limited function. Furthermore, all drains on the market generally suffer from a defect: when the drain channel is blocked, sewage cannot be discharged normally, often leading to leaks. Leaks can damage furniture and home appliances. If water seeps into furniture, it may cause wooden floors or furniture to warp and rot, causing irreversible damage. More seriously, when leaks seep into home appliances (such as water purifiers and dishwashers), it may cause short circuits, equipment malfunctions, and even safety hazards, resulting in unpredictable losses. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned defects in the prior art and provide a drain with an alarm device that can detect and alarm, prevent water leakage or overflow, and avoid potential safety hazards and property damage.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a drain assembly with an alarm device, including a drain assembly body, a drain assembly cover, an upper sealing ring, a water outlet valve, and an alarm device. The top and bottom openings of the drain assembly body are respectively configured as an inlet and an outlet. The water outlet valve is movably installed at the outlet position to open and close the outlet. The drain assembly cover is fitted onto the drain assembly body at the inlet position, and the upper sealing ring is pressed tightly between the drain assembly body and the drain assembly cover. The drain assembly cover has several through-holes connecting to the inner cavity of the drain assembly body with different diameter drain pipe interfaces. The alarm device is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the drain assembly body. The alarm device includes a power supply box, a circuit board, a buzzer, a first conductive ring, and a second conductive ring. The power supply box is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the drain cover. The circuit board is fixedly installed inside the power supply box. The buzzer is electrically connected to the circuit board. The first and second conductive rings are respectively arranged at intervals around the lower outer wall of the drain body and located below the power supply box. One end of each of the first and second conductive rings extends into the interior of the power supply box and connects to the circuit board. The other ends of the first and second conductive rings do not contact each other. When water flows or water droplets pass through the first and second conductive rings, they conduct electricity to each other and activate the buzzer to sound an alarm.

[0005] Preferably, the outlet of the drain body is inclined, and the outlet switch valve includes a valve plate pressure plate, a drain valve plate, and a return torsion spring. A threaded hole is provided on the bottom of the drain body on one side of the outlet. One side shaft of the drain valve plate is rotatably mounted on one side of the outlet through the valve plate pressure plate. The valve plate pressure plate is threaded to the threaded hole by a locking screw. One torsion spring arm of the return torsion spring passes through the bottom surface of the drain valve plate and abuts against the shaft of the drain valve plate and the valve plate pressure plate. The other torsion spring arm abuts against the bottom surface of the drain valve plate. The drain valve plate can be flipped up and down relative to the outlet to open or close the outlet.

[0006] Preferably, an inclined drain pipe interface is provided on one side of the drain body, and the inclined drain pipe interface is connected to the inner cavity of the drain body.

[0007] Preferably, the system also includes a drain pipe rubber joint, which is inserted into the opening of the inclined drain pipe interface and is press-fitted to the inner wall of the inclined drain pipe interface.

[0008] Preferably, the drain body is configured from top to bottom as a cavity section and an insertion pipe section. The outer diameter of the cavity section is larger than the outer diameter of the insertion pipe section. The top outer wall of the cavity section is provided with external threads. The bottom outer wall of the cavity section is provided with two grooves spaced apart for the insertion of the first and second conductive rings.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] This utility model features a simple, novel, and rationally designed structure. It utilizes low-voltage power to achieve its monitoring function. A first and second conductive coil are arranged in a 360-degree configuration around the lower part of the drain assembly. Normally, they are not conductive. However, when a blockage or poor drainage occurs, and water flow or droplets pass through the first and second conductive coils, they become conductive, forming a closed circuit that activates the buzzer, triggering an alarm to alert the user. This utility model effectively detects and alarms leaks or overflows, meeting people's needs for safety, convenience, and intelligence in daily life, and avoiding potential safety hazards and property damage.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0021] Please refer to Figure 1 This utility model provides a drainer with an alarm device, including a drainer body 1, a drainer cover 2, an upper sealing ring 3, a water outlet valve 5, an alarm device 6, and other components. The components of this embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the top opening and bottom opening of the drain body 1 can be set as an inlet 11 and an outlet 12, respectively. The outlet valve 5 is movably installed at the outlet 12 to open and close the outlet 12. The drain cover 2 is fitted onto the inlet 11 of the drain body 1 and the upper sealing ring 3 is pressed between the drain body 1 and the drain cover 2. Several drain pipe interfaces 21 with different diameters are opened through the drain cover 2 to connect to the inner cavity of the drain body 1. The alarm device 6 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the drain body 1.

[0023] The drain body 1 and drain cover 2 ensure that water flows smoothly from the inlet 11 into its inner cavity and then out through the outlet 12, providing a channel for water to enter and connect to the household sewer system. It is connected to the inner cavity of the drain body 1 through drain pipe interfaces 21 of different diameters, allowing the connection of various household appliances and making it widely applicable.

[0024] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the alarm device 6 may include a power supply box 61, a circuit board 62, a buzzer 63 for emitting an alarm sound, a first conductive ring 64, and a second conductive ring 65. The power supply box 61 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the drain cover 2. The circuit board 62 is fixedly installed inside the power supply box 61. The buzzer 63 is electrically connected to the circuit board 62. The first conductive ring 64 and the second conductive ring 65 are respectively arranged at intervals around the lower outer wall of the drain body 1 and located below the power supply box 61. One end of the first conductive ring 64 and the second conductive ring 65 extends into the interior of the power supply box 61 and is connected to the circuit board 62. The other ends of the first conductive ring 64 and the second conductive ring 65 do not contact each other. When water flow or water droplets pass through the first conductive ring 64 and the second conductive ring 65, they conduct to each other and can activate the buzzer 63 to emit an alarm.

[0025] In practice, the first conductive ring 64 and the second conductive ring 65 are arranged in a 360-degree pattern around the lower outer wall of the drain body 1, ensuring that the presence of water can be effectively detected regardless of the direction of water flow. Under normal conditions, the two conductive rings 64 and 65 are not conductive and remain in an open circuit state. When water flows or water droplets pass by, the conductivity of water causes the first conductive ring 64 and the second conductive ring 65 to make electrical contact, forming a closed circuit, which in turn activates the buzzer 63 to sound an alarm, so as to remind the user that there may be a sewer blockage or poor drainage. When the user receives the alarm, he / she can check and deal with the problem in time, avoiding potential safety hazards and property damage.

[0026] The power supply box 61 must not be submerged in water during use and can provide low-voltage power to the alarm device 6. The circuit board 62 can control the circuit and process signals. The first conductive ring 64 and the second conductive ring 65 monitor whether the water flow process is normal in real time. The signal is triggered by the conductivity of the water flow. The status of the drainer can be accurately detected. When a closed circuit is formed, the buzzer 63 is immediately turned on to trigger the alarm, which improves the operational reliability of the equipment.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, the outlet 12 of the drain body 1 is inclined. The outlet switch valve 5 includes a valve plate pressure plate 51, a drain valve 52, and a reset torsion spring 53. A threaded hole 13 is provided on one side of the outlet 12 at the bottom of the drain body 1. The shaft of the drain valve 52 is rotatably mounted on one side of the outlet 12 through the valve plate pressure plate 51. The valve plate pressure plate 51 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 13 by a locking screw. One torsion spring arm of the reset torsion spring 53 passes through the bottom surface of the drain valve 52 and abuts against the shaft of the drain valve 52 and the valve plate pressure plate 51. The other torsion spring arm of the reset torsion spring 53 abuts against the bottom surface of the drain valve 52. The drain valve 52 can flip up and down relative to the outlet 12 to open or close the outlet 12.

[0028] Preferably, the outlet 12, as the outlet for water discharge, can be directly connected to the sewer. Its inclined opening design helps to guide the water flow to discharge more smoothly, reducing siltation and blockage. The water outlet valve 5 can automatically open the outlet 12 to discharge water when water flows through, and can also automatically close the outlet 12 when no water flows through, preventing the backflow of odors from the sewer.

[0029] Preferably, an inclined drain pipe interface 14 is provided on one side of the drain body 1. The inclined drain pipe interface 14 is connected to the inner cavity of the drain body 1. The inclined drain pipe interface 14 has a large diameter and can be used to connect the sink drain pipe.

[0030] Furthermore, to prevent leakage, a drain pipe rubber joint 15 may be included. The drain pipe rubber joint 15 is inserted into the opening of the inclined drain pipe interface 14 and is interference-fitted with the inner wall of the inclined drain pipe interface 14. The annular limiting ring 151 at the top of the drain pipe rubber joint 15 abuts against the edge of the opening of the inclined drain pipe interface 14. Through the interference fit, the sealing of the connection between the two is ensured, and the environment around the drain is kept dry.

[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, specifically, the main body 1 of the drainer is configured from top to bottom as a cavity section 101 and an insertion pipe section 102. The outer diameter of the cavity section 101 is larger than the outer diameter of the insertion pipe section 102. The top outer wall of the cavity section 101 is provided with external threads. The bottom outer wall of the cavity section 101 is provided with two annular grooves 103 for inserting the first conductive ring 64 and the second conductive ring 65. The upper and lower ends and the middle part of the two annular grooves 103 are respectively surrounded by limiting ribs 104 at intervals.

[0032] Among them, the interval between the two annular grooves 103 used to place the first conductive ring 64 and the second conductive ring 65 is small. The annular grooves 103 and the limiting ribs 104 not only provide support and limit the conductive rings to prevent them from falling off, but also ensure that a closed circuit can be formed quickly and effectively when water flow or water droplets pass through the first conductive ring 64 and the second conductive ring 65.

[0033] To facilitate installation and disassembly, the inner wall of the drain cover 2 may be provided with internal threads, and the drain cover 2 achieves threaded connection by engaging with the external threads of the drain body 1 through its internal threads.

[0034] Preferably, it may also include a reducing rubber ring 71 and a reducing connector 72. The reducing rubber ring 71 is sleeved on the outer wall of the insertion pipe section 102, and the reducing connector 72 is sleeved on the outer wall of the reducing rubber ring 71. The reducing rubber ring 71 plays a sealing role, ensuring that the insertion pipe section 102 of the drain can avoid water leakage at the joint when connected to the sewer system. The reducing connector 72 can be adapted to drain pipes of different diameters.

[0035] In this embodiment, the materials of the drain pipe rubber joint 15, the reducing rubber ring 71, and the upper sealing ring 3 are preferably made of silicone rubber, but this embodiment does not limit the materials used.

[0036] Specifically, it also includes several water inlet adapters 8 corresponding to each drain pipe interface 21, and each water inlet adapter 8 is threadedly connected to its corresponding drain pipe interface 21.

[0037] Furthermore, this embodiment may include a water purifier drain pipe adapter 801, a dishwasher drain pipe adapter 802, a small water heater drain pipe adapter 803, a washing machine drain pipe adapter 804, and an adapter rubber ring 805 fitted thereon, etc. These water inlet adapters 8 can be configured according to different needs, so that the drain can be easily connected to existing drainage appliances.

[0038] In summary, this utility model can detect and alarm, preventing leaks or overflows in the drain, meeting people's needs for safety, convenience, and intelligence in daily life, and avoiding potential safety hazards and property losses.

[0039] The above embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present utility model, but the embodiments of the present utility model are not limited to the above embodiments. Any changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, or simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be considered equivalent substitutions and shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
