[0040] Currently, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the importance attached to drinking water is also increasing. The water that people can drink can be roughly divided into tap water, purified water, and mineral water. Tap water contains impurities, bacteria, and heavy metal pollution. Purified water is acidic and does not help maintain the body's acid-base balance. As the terminal device for water, the traditional faucet currently used in the market has a relatively simple function and cannot display the TDS value or pH value of the current water flow.
[0041] Please see Figure 1 A faucet 100, comprising:
[0042] Ontology 10;
[0043] Acquisition module 20 is disposed on the main body 10, and acquisition module 20 is used to acquire the pH value and / or TDS value of the water flow;
[0044] Display module 30 is disposed on the main body 10, and the display module 30 is used to display the pH value and / or TDS value obtained by the acquisition module 20.
[0045] The aforementioned body 10 is provided with a water path, and the faucet 100 is provided with an acquisition module 20. The acquisition module 20 is located in the water path of the faucet 100. The acquisition module 20 can acquire the pH value and / or TDS value of the water flow input into the faucet 100 and the pH value and / or TDS value of the water flow output into the faucet 100. After the acquisition module 20 acquires the pH value and / or TDS value of the water flow input into and output into the faucet 100, it inputs it to the display module 30. The display module 30 can process the signal input from the acquisition module 20 and display the pH value and / or TDS value of the water flow currently input into the faucet 100 and the pH value and / or TDS value of the water flow currently output from the faucet 100.
[0046] Understandably, in some embodiments, the main body 10 is provided with at least one mineralized water channel 50, and an acquisition module 20 is provided on the mineralized water channel 50. The acquisition module 20 can be set at the outlet of the mineralized water channel 50, or at the inlet of the mineralized water channel 50, or at both the inlet and outlet of the mineralized water channel 50. The detection module can be set at the required position to detect the pH value and / or TDS value of the water flow as needed. The detected pH value and / or TDS value is sent to the display module 30, which can then display the currently acquired pH value and / or TDS value to visualize the current water quality. Of course, the acquisition module 20 in this utility model can be used to acquire the pH value and / or TDS value of the current water flow, and can also acquire other parameters of the current water flow, and send the detected data to the display module 30 for display.
[0047] It should be noted that the TDS value in this invention represents the electrical conductivity of water.
[0048] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the acquisition module 20 includes: a communication unit 21 and a detection unit 22;
[0049] The detection unit 22 is connected to the communication unit 21. The detection unit 22 is used to obtain the pH value of the water flow and send it to the display module 30 through the communication unit 21.
[0050] Understandably, the aforementioned acquisition module 20 includes a communication unit 21 and a detection unit 22. The detection unit 22 and the communication unit 21 are electrically connected. The detection unit 22 is used to acquire relevant data in the current water flow, such as the pH value and / or TDS value and / or heavy metal content and / or microbial content of the current water flow. After acquiring the relevant data, the acquisition unit can communicate with the display module 30 through the communication unit 21. The display module 30 has a communication function and can wirelessly communicate with the communication module. In this way, the data can be sent to the display module 30 through the communication module, and the display module 30 displays the data after processing it.
[0051] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the detection unit 22 is disposed outside the body 10, and the detection unit 22 is used to obtain the pH value and / or TDS value of the water flowing into the faucet 100.
[0052] Understandably, the main body 10 has a water supply path, which can be municipal water supply or water output from the water purifier 210; the aforementioned detection unit 22 is set outside the main body 10, that is, set on the water supply path of the main body 10. The detection unit 22 obtains the pH value and / or TDS value on the water supply path to detect the water quality of the current faucet 100. When the detection unit 22 detects the water quality of the current faucet 100, it sends the information to the display module 30 through the communication unit 21 and displays it through the display module 30.
[0053] Understandably, when the water supply is provided by the water purifier 210, by detecting and displaying the current pH and / or TDS values of the water supply circuit, the user can intuitively see the water quality that the faucet 100 can output. When the user has drinking water needs, they can judge whether the current water flow meets the drinking water standards based on the pH and / or TDS values of the water flow input into the faucet 100. If the pH and / or TDS values of the output water flow are high for a long time, it can also indicate that the water purifier 210 is malfunctioning and the filter may need to be replaced.
[0054] Please see Figure 9 In some embodiments, a faucet filter element 80 is provided inside the main body 10. The faucet filter element 80 is disposed on the mineralization water channel 50 and is used to mineralize the water flow in the mineralization water channel 50.
[0055] A faucet filter element 80 is installed inside the main body 10 and is located on the mineralization water passage 50. The faucet filter element 80 contains filter media that can mineralize the water flow. When the water flows through the mineralization filter media, the mineralization water passage 50 can produce mineralized water. Since most mineralization filter media are alkaline materials, the pH value of the water produced in the mineralization water passage 50 is relatively high after the water flow has passed through the mineralization process. Its pH value is generally higher than that of drinking water. Ideal drinking water should be slightly alkaline. The pH value of the mineralized water in the mineralization water passage 50 exceeds the pH value of ideal drinking water. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the pH value of the drinking water produced by the mineralization water passage 50.
[0056] Please see Figure 9 Therefore, in some embodiments, the body 10 further includes: a regulating water passage 60 and a control valve 70;
[0057] The control valve 70 is connected to the mineralization water path 50 and the regulating water path 60 respectively, and the control valve 70 is used to control the water inflow of the mineralization water path 50 and the regulating water path 60.
[0058] As is understandable, the control valve 70 is connected to the mineralizing water circuit 50 and the regulating water circuit 60. Therefore, the control valve 70 can achieve the purpose of water flow regulation by controlling the water flow of the mineralizing water circuit 50 and the regulating water circuit 60. By adjusting the water flow of different water circuits, the water flow in the mineralizing water circuit 50 and the regulating water circuit 60 is mixed before the output faucet 100, thus achieving the regulation of the pH value of the water flow.
[0059] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the detection unit 22 is disposed within the body 10, and the detection unit 22 is used to obtain the pH value and / or TDS value of the water flow in the faucet 100.
[0060] Understandably, the aforementioned detection unit 22 can be installed at the outlet of the faucet filter element 80. Since it is necessary to adjust the pH value of the water, the detection unit 22 is installed on the mineralization water path 50 to detect the pH value of the mineralized water flow. When the pH value of the mineralized water flow is detected to be high, the water inflow of the mineralization water path 50 can be reduced by the control valve 70, and the water flow of the regulating water path 60 can be increased. This will lower the pH value of the output faucet 100, thus regulating the output water flow of the faucet 100.
[0061] In some embodiments, the detection unit 22 can be installed at the outlet of the faucet 100 to detect the pH value of the current water output from the body 10. When the body 10 detects that the pH value of the current water flow is low or high, it can adjust the water flow rate in the mineralization water path 50 and the water flow rate in the regulating water path 60 through the control valve 70. For example, when the pH value of the output water flow is high, the water flow rate in the mineralization water path 50 can be reduced and the water flow rate in the regulating water path 60 can be increased to lower the pH value; when the pH value of the output water flow is low, the water flow rate in the mineralization water path 50 can be increased and the water flow rate in the regulating water path 60 can be decreased to increase the pH value.
[0062] Please see Figure 7 In some implementations, it also includes: a controller 40;
[0063] The controller 40 is connected to the acquisition module 20 and the display module 30 respectively. The controller 40 is used to acquire the signal of the acquisition module 20 and output it to the display module 30.
[0064] Understandably, the controller 40 is located outside the faucet 100 or the controller 40. The controller 40 is connected to the acquisition module 20 and the display module 30 respectively. In this way, the controller 40 can obtain the pH value or TDS value in the current water circuit through the acquisition module 20. After the acquisition module 20 obtains the pH value or TDS value in the current water circuit, it sends the data to the controller 40. The controller 40 can then process the relevant data and send it to the display module 30 for display, thus realizing the visualization of the current water quality.
[0065] In some implementations, the controller 40 can also control the inflow rate of the control valve 70 based on the pH value or TDS value obtained by the acquisition module 20. For example, when the pH value of the output water flow is high, the water flow rate of the mineralization water path 50 can be reduced and the water flow rate of the regulating water path 60 can be increased to lower the pH value; when the pH value of the output water flow is low, the water flow rate of the mineralization water path 50 can be increased and the water flow rate of the regulating water path 60 can be reduced to increase the pH value.
[0066] In some implementations, the user can also set the pH value of the output water according to their water demand. After the user sets the water demand, the controller 40 can output water according to the user-set pH value or TDS value. When the acquisition module 20 detects that the current output water exceeds or is lower than the user-set value, the controller 40 can control the opening of the control valve 70 to change the water inlet ratio of the regulating water path 60 and the mineralizing water path 50. This can adjust the current output pH value of the faucet 100 so that the current output pH value or TDS value of the faucet 100 matches the customer's preset value to meet the customer's water demand.
[0067] Please see Figure 1 , Figures 4 to 6 In some embodiments, the display module 30 includes, but is not limited to: a signal display area 31, a numerical display area 32, a control area 34, and a PH / TDS display area 33.
[0068] Understandably, to facilitate observation and control, the display module 30 is divided into multiple display areas. Specifically, it is divided into a signal display area 31, a numerical display area 32, a control area 34, and a pH / TDS display area 33. The signal display area 31 displays the current communication status of the main body 10; the numerical display shows the current pH / TDS value in the pH / TDS display area 33; the control area 34 allows setting buttons for the pH value, flow rate, or pausing water flow; and the pH / TDS display area 33 displays the current water flow pH / TDS in a bar chart (e.g., pH / TDS). Figures 4 to 6 (As shown).
[0069] The control area 34 can be configured with different control methods and includes corresponding touch buttons for adjusting the TDS or pH value of the water from the faucet 100. For example, one touch area can be set to a fixed TDS or pH value, with the touch buttons correspondingly set to pH=7, pH=7.5, and pH=8. Another touch area can be configured to allow adjustment of the pH value of the water from the faucet 100 using a plus or minus button. All buttons in different touch areas can adjust the current value. For instance, if a user needs drinking water with a pH of 7.3, they can adjust it using the pH=7.5 and minus buttons. This improves the portability of button adjustments, making it more convenient to set preset pH values for the faucet 100.
[0070] Of course, in other implementations, only the touch area and the display area may be set; or other settings may be used.
[0071] Please see Figure 7 In some embodiments, the body 10 includes: a main body portion 11 and a connecting portion 12;
[0072] The main body 11 is rotatably connected to the connecting part 12. The connecting part 12 has a receiving cavity 121, and the communication unit 21, the detection unit 22, and the controller 40 are all disposed in the receiving cavity 121.
[0073] Understandably, the main body 10 includes a connecting portion 12 and a main body 11. The main body 11 is rotatably mounted on the connecting portion 12 and is perpendicular to the connecting portion 12. This perpendicular structural design of the main body 11 and the connecting portion 12 helps improve the stability of the device. This reduces structural offset or tilting, enhances the stability of the faucet 100, and also reduces flow resistance, thereby improving water flow efficiency. It also facilitates the rotation of the faucet 100.
[0074] Understandably, the aforementioned connection part 12 has a receiving cavity 121, in which a communication unit 21, a detection unit 22, and a controller 40 are disposed. The communication unit 21 can be electrically connected to the detection unit 22, while the controller 40 can be wirelessly connected to the communication unit 21. Data is transmitted from the communication unit 21 to the controller 40 via wireless signals. The controller 40 can use related protocols or modules such as Bluetooth and WiFi for signal transmission.
[0075] Please see Figure 8 In some embodiments, the main body 11 is provided with an installation area 111, and the display module 30 is disposed in the installation area 111.
[0076] Understandably, the main body 11 is the water outlet part of the faucet, which is rotatably mounted on the connecting part 12. An installation area 111 is provided on the side of the main body 11 away from the connecting part 12. The installation area 111 is recessed into the main body 11 and is used to install the display module 30. The installation area 111 is provided to facilitate the installation of the display module 30 and to make it easy for the user to observe and adjust the relevant parameters after the display module 30 is installed in the installation area 111.
[0077] Please see Figure 10 This utility model also provides a mineral spring mineralization water purification device 200, the water purification device comprising:
[0078] The water purifier 210 and the faucet 100 are connected to the water purifier 210.
[0079] Understandably, the aforementioned mineral water purification equipment 200 includes a water purifier 210 and a faucet 100. The water purifier 210 is used to purify municipal water supply. The purified water flows into the faucet 100, which can regulate the water flow of the mineral water path 50 and the regulating water path 60 through the control valve 70. By adjusting the water flow of different water paths, the water flows in the mineral water path 50 and the regulating water path 60 are mixed before being output to the faucet 100, thus achieving the desired water output.
[0080] Please see Figure 10 In some embodiments, the mineral water purification equipment 200 includes: a mineralization filter element 220 and a water purification filter element 230;
[0081] The water purification filter element 230 is connected in series with the mineralization filter element 220. The faucet 100 is provided with a mineralization water passage 50, and the mineralization filter element 220 is used to supply water to the mineralization water passage 50.
[0082] Understandably, the water purifier 210 includes a mineralizing filter element 220 and a water purification filter element 230. The water purification filter element 230 is connected to the mineralizing filter element 220. After the water is purified by the purification filter element, it flows out and enters the mineralizing filter element 220. The mineralizing filter element 220 performs preliminary mineralization on the water and then outputs it to the faucet 100.
