Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of faucet technology, and in particular to a telescopic faucet with heating function. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional faucets commonly suffer from the following pain points in public places and homes:

[0003] Insufficient ease of operation: It needs to be turned on manually, which makes it easy for bacteria to grow on the contact surface, and it is not user-friendly for people with mobility impairments (such as children and the elderly);

[0004] Limited functionality: Unable to adjust water temperature according to season or user needs, resulting in a poor user experience in cold environments;

[0005] Poor adaptability: The water outlet height is fixed, which cannot be adapted to users of different heights or special scenarios (such as children's washbasins).

[0006] Angle adjustment limitations: The water outlet direction is fixed, making it difficult to meet the needs of multiple scenarios such as washing one's face and rinsing items;

[0007] While existing sensor-operated faucets have solved the problem of contactless operation, they generally lack heating functions and flexible adjustment mechanisms, making it difficult to meet diverse needs. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a composite faucet that integrates intelligent sensing, temperature regulation, and height and angle self-adaptation. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as: insufficient ease of operation (requiring manual opening, prone to bacterial growth on contact surfaces, and unfriendly to people with mobility impairments (such as children and the elderly); limited functionality (unable to adjust water temperature according to season or user needs, resulting in a poor user experience in cold environments); poor adaptability (fixed water outlet height, unable to adapt to users of different heights or special scenarios (such as children's washbasins); and limited angle adjustment (fixed water outlet direction, making it difficult to meet the needs of multiple scenarios such as washing face and rinsing items). Therefore, this utility model proposes a retractable faucet with a heating function.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0010] A retractable faucet with heating function includes a faucet body, a heating rod fixedly connected inside the faucet body, a microprocessor and a battery fixedly connected to one side of the faucet body, an infrared emitting tube fixedly connected to the other side of the faucet body, a water level sensor fixedly connected to one side of the faucet body, a solenoid valve installed inside the faucet body, and an outer cylinder snapped into the bottom of the faucet body by a telescopic component.

[0011] An adjustment component is fixedly connected inside the outer cylinder and is used to adjust the angle of the water flow.

[0012] In one possible design, the telescopic component includes a plurality of semi-annular blocks fixedly connected to the inner wall of the faucet body, the plurality of semi-annular blocks being arranged in a ring, with a gap between two semi-annular blocks at the same height, and two symmetrically arranged rectangular blocks fixedly connected to the outer wall of the outer cylinder, the rectangular blocks being used in conjunction with the gap.

[0013] In one possible design, an annular plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the faucet body, the annular plate being located below a plurality of semi-annular blocks, and the inner wall of the annular plate abutting against the outer cylinder.

[0014] In one possible design, the adjustment assembly includes a fixing ring fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer cylinder, a bellows fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing ring, an adjustment inner cylinder fixedly connected to the bottom of the bellows, and the bottom of the adjustment inner cylinder extending below the outer cylinder.

[0015] In one possible design, the inner wall of the adjusting inner cylinder has two symmetrically arranged positioning holes, and a positioning block slides through the inside of the positioning hole. A vertical plate is fixedly connected to one side of the positioning block, and a pushing block is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the vertical plate. The pushing block is located on the lower side of the adjusting inner cylinder. A positioning groove is formed on one side of the inner wall of the outer cylinder, and the positioning groove engages with the positioning block.

[0016] In one possible design, the water level sensor, infrared emitter, microprocessor, heating rod, and solenoid valve are all electrically connected to the battery.

[0017] In one possible design, circular grooves are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the adjusting inner cylinder, and the same tension spring is fixedly connected between one side of the inner wall of the circular groove and one side of the vertical plate.

[0018] In this application, when the user places their hand under the infrared emitting tube, the infrared rays emitted by the infrared emitting tube are blocked, and the signal is transmitted to the microprocessor. The microprocessor then controls the solenoid valve to open, and the water in the faucet body is discharged through the outlet, so the user can wash their hands. When in use, the water can also be heated by activating the heating rod, so that hot water can be discharged in cold weather.

[0019] When in use, the height of the outer cylinder can be adjusted according to actual needs. At this time, the outer cylinder can be rotated, which will drive the two rectangular blocks to rotate. The rectangular blocks will be adjusted from above the semi-circular block to the gap of the semi-circular block. This will allow the outer cylinder to move up and down, thereby adjusting the outer cylinder to a suitable height. Then, the outer cylinder can be reversed again, causing the rectangular blocks to move to the top of the semi-circular block again to support the outer cylinder.

[0020] Meanwhile, when it is necessary to adjust the water outlet angle, the two push blocks can be pressed. The push blocks drive the two vertical plates to move closer to each other, and the push blocks stretch the tension spring. At this time, the vertical plates drive the positioning block to move laterally. The positioning block moves out of the positioning groove, thereby releasing the braking state of the inner and outer cylinders. The inner cylinder can be pulled down first. The bellows setting allows the inner cylinder to be adjusted at any angle, thereby changing the water outlet angle, which is convenient for users. Beneficial effects

[0021] The infrared sensing module works in conjunction with the microprocessor to achieve rapid response and avoid the risk of cross-infection, making it especially suitable for public places such as hospitals and schools;

[0022] The water level sensor precisely controls the water flow, improving water-saving efficiency and preventing overflow.

[0023] With a built-in heating rod and battery power system, it supports water temperature adjustment and can provide hot water instantly in cold environments, significantly improving the user experience.

[0024] Through the gear-like interlocking design of semi-circular blocks and rectangular blocks, the outer cylinder can be steplessly adjusted in height (range 20-50cm) to accommodate users of different heights;

[0025] The ring plate and corrugated pipe provide dual guidance, ensuring stability during expansion and contraction, and the load-bearing capacity reaches 10kg.

[0026] The linkage mechanism of push block-vertical plate-positioning block, combined with the spring reset design, supports water outlet angle adjustment to meet the needs of multiple scenarios such as washing face and rinsing items;

[0027] The bellows' telescopic design allows the inner cylinder to swing freely, and the adjustment process requires no tools or operating force.

[0028] The microprocessor integrates a fault self-diagnosis algorithm, which can monitor water level, temperature and solenoid valve status in real time;

[0029] The modular design allows for quick replacement of core components such as heating rods and solenoid valves. Attached Figure Description

[0036] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Example

[0037] Reference Figure 1-5A retractable faucet with heating function includes: a faucet body 1, a heating rod 8 fixedly connected inside the faucet body 1, a microprocessor 2 and a battery 3 fixedly connected to one side of the faucet body 1, an infrared emitting tube 7 fixedly connected to the other side of the faucet body 1, a water level sensor 4 fixedly connected to one side of the faucet body 1, and a solenoid valve 9 installed inside the faucet body 1. When the user places their hand under the infrared emitting tube 7, the infrared rays emitted by the infrared emitting tube 7 are blocked, and the signal is transmitted to the microprocessor 2. The microprocessor 2 then controls the solenoid valve 9 to open, at which time the water in the faucet body 1 is discharged through the outlet, allowing the user to wash their hands. During use, the heating rod 8 can be activated to heat the discharged water, allowing hot water to be discharged in cold weather. An outer cylinder 6 is attached to the bottom of the faucet body 1 via a telescopic component. The faucet body 1 includes multiple semi-annular blocks 12 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the faucet body 1. The multiple semi-annular blocks 12 are arranged in a ring. There is a gap between two semi-annular blocks 12 at the same height. Two rectangular blocks 14 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the outer cylinder 6. The rectangular blocks 14 are used in conjunction with the gap. The inner wall of the faucet body 1 is fixedly connected to an annular plate 11. The annular plate 11 is located below the multiple semi-annular blocks 12. The inner wall of the annular plate 11 abuts against the outer cylinder 6. The height of the outer cylinder 6 can also be adjusted according to actual needs. At this time, the outer cylinder 6 can be rotated. The outer cylinder 6 drives the two rectangular blocks 14 to rotate. The rectangular blocks 14 are adjusted from above the semi-annular blocks 12 to the gap of the semi-annular blocks 12. At this time, the outer cylinder 6 can be moved up and down, thereby adjusting the outer cylinder 6 to a suitable height. The outer cylinder 6 is then reversed again, so that the rectangular blocks 14 move to the top of the semi-annular blocks 12 again to support the outer cylinder 6.

[0038] An adjustment assembly is fixedly connected inside the outer cylinder 6 and used to adjust the angle of the water flow. The adjustment assembly includes a fixing ring 13 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer cylinder 6. A bellows 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing ring 13. An adjusting inner cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bellows 17. The bottom of the adjusting inner cylinder 5 extends to the bottom of the outer cylinder 6. Two symmetrically arranged positioning holes 18 are opened on the inner wall of the adjusting inner cylinder 5. A positioning block 16 slides through the interior of the positioning hole 18. A vertical plate 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the positioning block 16. A pushing block 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the vertical plate 19. The pushing block 10 is located on the lower side of the adjusting inner cylinder 5. A positioning groove 15 is opened on one side of the inner wall of the outer cylinder 6. The positioning block 16 engages with the positioning block 15. The inner walls of both sides of the inner cylinder 5 are provided with circular grooves 20. One side of the inner wall of the circular groove 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the vertical plate 19 with the same tension spring 21. When it is necessary to adjust the water outlet angle, the two push blocks 10 can be pressed. The push blocks 10 drive the two vertical plates 19 to move closer to each other. The push blocks 10 stretch the tension spring 21. At this time, the vertical plate 19 drives the positioning block 16 to move laterally. The positioning block 16 moves out of the inside of the positioning groove 15, thereby releasing the braking state of the inner cylinder 5 and the outer cylinder 6. The inner cylinder 5 can be pulled down first. The setting of the bellows 17 allows the inner cylinder 5 to be adjusted at any angle, thereby changing the water outlet angle, which is convenient for users.
