Detailed Implementation

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0033] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing embodiments of this application only and is not intended to limit this application.

[0034] In related technologies, water outlet devices can be equipped with an internal hydroelectric generator, temperature detection device, and display device. When water is discharged through internal pipes, the hydroelectric generator generates electricity to power the temperature detection and display devices. However, hydroelectric generators are unreliable and prone to damage, which can cause these water outlet devices to malfunction and fail to display the temperature correctly.

[0035] To improve the reliability of temperature display in a water outlet device, this application provides a water outlet device and a shower apparatus. The water outlet device includes a housing; a water outlet pipe located inside the housing; a temperature display unit located inside the housing, the temperature display unit including a temperature detection module connected to the water outlet pipe; the temperature display unit is used to control the temperature detection module to acquire water temperature and to display the water temperature; a sensing unit disposed on the housing, the sensing unit being used to sense objects; and a power supply unit disposed inside the housing, electrically connected to both the sensing unit and the temperature display unit, the power supply unit supplying power to the sensing unit and, after the sensing unit senses an object, supplying power to the temperature display unit. By setting up a power supply unit and a sensing unit, and connecting them to the temperature display unit, the power supply unit powers on the temperature display unit after the sensing unit senses an object. This allows the water outlet device to perform its original functions while eliminating the influence of a hydroelectric generator on the water outlet device, thus avoiding the situation where damage to the hydroelectric generator would cause the temperature display to malfunction, and helping to improve the reliability of the temperature display in the water outlet device.

[0036] See Figures 1 to 4 In the embodiments provided in this application, the water outlet device may include a housing 100, a water outlet pipe 200, a temperature display unit, a sensing unit 400, and a power supply unit 500.

[0037] A water outlet pipe 200 is housed within the outer casing 100. A temperature display unit is also located within the outer casing 100. The temperature display unit may include a temperature detection module 310, which is connected to the water outlet pipe 200. The temperature display unit can be used to control the temperature detection module 310 to acquire and display the water temperature. A sensing unit 400 is mounted on the outer casing 100 and can be used to sense objects. A power supply unit 500 is housed within the outer casing 100 and is electrically connected to both the sensing unit 400 and the temperature display unit. The power supply unit 500 can supply power to the sensing unit 400 and, after the sensing unit 400 senses an object, supply power to the temperature display unit.

[0038] In one embodiment, the outer casing 100 can be a regular shape (such as a cuboid) or an irregular shape; no specific limitation is made here. Alternatively, the outer casing 100 can be a housing with limiting structures that match the various components. Components such as the water outlet pipe 200, temperature display unit, sensing unit 400, and power supply unit 500 can be placed into the corresponding limiting structures. The outer casing 100 can also be provided with multiple mounting bases to mount the various components onto the corresponding mounting bases using mounting bolts or other components, etc.; no specific limitation is made here.

[0039] In one embodiment, the temperature display unit refers to a circuit unit that displays the temperature and drives the temperature detection module 310 to measure the temperature. The temperature display unit can be an integrated device, or it can be an integrated unit formed by connecting modules with characteristic functions to a circuit board, etc. The specific details are not limited here.

[0040] In one embodiment, the temperature detection module 310 can be a thermocouple sensor, a thermistor temperature sensor, etc., and no specific limitation is made here.

[0041] In one embodiment, the sensing unit 400 can be disposed on the housing 100 in various ways. For example, the housing 100 may have a transparent structure, and the sensing unit may be disposed on the inner wall of the transparent structure corresponding to the housing 100; another example is that the housing 100 may have an opening structure, and the sensing unit 400 may be mounted on the opening structure and cover the entire opening structure, etc. No specific limitation is made here. Furthermore, the sensing unit 400 can be an infrared ranging module, a radar module, etc., and no specific limitation is made here.

[0042] In one embodiment, the power supply unit 500 can be a simple battery or an integrated unit formed by the battery and its control circuit, etc., and no specific limitation is made here.

[0043] Specifically, the power supply unit 500 provides power to the sensing unit 400, enabling the sensing unit 400 to continuously sense objects. When the user is not near the water outlet, the sensing unit 400 cannot sense any objects. When the user approaches the water outlet, the sensing unit 400 can sense an object, at which point the power supply unit 500 can supply power to the temperature display unit, allowing the temperature display unit to start operating. The temperature display unit can then control the temperature detection module 310 to measure the internal temperature of the water outlet pipe 200, thereby obtaining and displaying the water temperature inside the water outlet pipe 200. When the user moves away from the water outlet, the sensing unit 400 can no longer sense any objects, causing the power supply unit 500 to stop supplying power to the temperature display unit, thus stopping the temperature display unit from controlling the temperature detection module 310 to detect and display the water temperature.

[0044] In one embodiment, the temperature display unit may further include a temperature display module 320 and a control circuit board (not shown in the figure). The temperature display module 320 is disposed on the housing 100, and the control circuit board is located inside the housing 100. The control circuit board is electrically connected to the temperature display module 320, the temperature detection module 310, and the power supply unit 500, respectively. The control circuit board can be used to control the temperature detection module 310 to acquire the water temperature and to control the temperature display module 320 to display the water temperature.

[0045] In one embodiment, the temperature display module 320 can be a digital display tube, an LED display screen, etc., and is not specifically limited here. In addition, the way the temperature display module 320 is disposed on the housing 100 is varied. For example, the housing 100 is provided with an opening structure, and the temperature display module 320 is mounted on the opening structure and covers the entire opening structure, etc., and is not specifically limited here.

[0046] In one embodiment, the outer casing 100 is provided with a transparent structure, and the temperature display module 320 is disposed on the inner wall of the transparent structure. The transparent structure can be the entire upper surface of the outer casing 100 or a portion thereof; no specific limitation is made here.

[0047] In one embodiment, the control circuit board can be a circuit board based on a microcontroller (MCU), wherein the MCU can be PY32, MM32F031K6T6, etc., and is not specifically limited here. In addition to the MCU, the control circuit board can also include a charge / discharge protection chip, a clock circuit that provides clock signals to the MCU, etc., and is not specifically limited here.

[0048] In one embodiment, the temperature display unit may further include a charging interface 330, which is disposed on the housing 100 and connected to the control circuit board. The charging interface 330 can be used to supply power to the power supply unit 500. The charging interface 330 may be a Type-C interface, a Micro-B interface, etc., and is not specifically limited thereto.

[0049] In one embodiment, the water outlet device may further include an interface cover 600, which is disposed on the outer wall of the housing 100 and is used to cover the charging interface 330. By covering the charging interface 330 with the interface cover 600, the contact between the charging interface 330 and water can be reduced. The interface cover 600 may be hinged to the outer wall of the housing 100, or it may be connected to the outer wall of the housing 100 by an adhesive strip, etc., and the specific method is not limited here.

[0050] In one embodiment, the water outlet pipe 200 may further include multiple water distribution structures 210 (only one water distribution structure 210 is shown in the figure; there are three adjacent water distribution structures 210 shown in the figure). For each water distribution structure 210, the water distribution structure includes a water distribution pipe 211, a water distribution valve 212, and a valve button 213. The water distribution valve 212 is installed inside the water distribution pipe 211, and the valve button 213 is installed on the water distribution valve 212. The housing 100 is provided with an opening structure that cooperates with the multiple valve buttons 213, and each valve button 213 is exposed through the opening structure. By installing the valve button 213 on the water distribution valve 212, the specific water outlet mode of the water outlet device can be selected by pressing, thereby improving the convenience of use.

[0051] In one embodiment, the opening structure that cooperates with the multiple valve buttons 213 can be one or multiple. When there are multiple opening structures that cooperate with the multiple valve buttons 213, they can correspond one-to-one with the multiple valve buttons 213 or they can not correspond one-to-one. The specifics are not limited here.

[0052] In one embodiment, the valve button 213 may or may not match the external shape of the housing 100; this is not specifically limited here. Furthermore, when exposed, the valve button 213 may or may not be flush with the housing 100; this is not specifically limited here either.

[0053] In one embodiment, the water outlet pipe 200 includes a mixing structure 220, which is provided with an access structure 221. The temperature detection module 310 is connected to the water outlet pipe 200 through the access structure 221.

[0054] In one embodiment, the mixing structure 220 includes a mixing pipe 222, a mixing valve 223, and a valve knob 224. The mixing valve 223 is installed inside the mixing pipe 222, and the valve stem of the mixing valve 223 passes through the housing 100. The valve knob 224 is located outside the housing and is mounted on the valve stem. By turning the valve knob 224, the inflow rate of hot and cold water in the water outlet device can be adjusted, thereby regulating the water temperature of the outlet water.

[0055] In one embodiment, the valve knob 224 is provided with a boss structure 225. By providing the boss structure 225, the valve knob 224 is easier to turn during operation, thus improving ease of use.

[0056] To achieve the above objectives, a second aspect of this application also provides a shower device, which includes a water outlet device as provided in any of the above embodiments.

For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0058] In this application embodiment, "at least one" refers to one or more, and "more than one" refers to two or more. "And / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent the existence of A alone, the simultaneous existence of A and B, or the existence of B alone. A and B can be singular or plural.

The information indicated by a certain piece of information is called the information to be instructed. In the specific implementation process, there can be many ways to instruct the information to be instructed, such as, but not limited to, directly instructing the information to be instructed, such as instructing the information to be instructed itself or its index.
