Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen and bathroom equipment technology, and in particular to a faucet structure with automatic temperature adjustment. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, Chinese patent number CN201820371514.1 discloses an automatic water flow temperature adjustment device for electronic faucets, including an adjusting block, a fixed rod, a first baffle, a fixing ring, a lead screw, a nut seat, and a mounting base. The first baffle is installed on the lower end face of the fixed rod, and the second baffle is installed inside the hot water pipe. The hot water pipe is installed on the right side inside the mounting base, and the cold water pipe is installed on the left side inside the mounting base. The mounting base is installed on the lower end face of the faucet body. This design solves the problem of inconvenient water flow adjustment in existing automatic water flow temperature adjustment devices for electronic faucets. The fixing ring is installed at the bottom of the mounting base, and the lead screw is installed on the lower side of the mounting base. A nut seat is provided on the lower side of the annular side of the lead screw, and the nut seat is fixed to the upper end face of the mounting base. The mounting base is installed on the lower side of the mounting base. This design solves the problem of inconvenient installation in existing automatic water flow temperature adjustment devices for electronic faucets. This utility model has a reasonable structure, is easy to assemble and install, and is convenient to adjust. However, in actual use, the existing technology still has the problem that when hot water is dispensed from kitchen and bathroom faucets, cold water in the pipes must be discharged first, which wastes water resources. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic temperature-regulating faucet structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatically temperature-regulating faucet structure, comprising a faucet body, characterized in that: a water inlet pipe is provided inside the faucet body, a PTC ceramic electric heater is provided inside the water inlet pipe, a water inlet temperature detector and a rear temperature detector are respectively installed below and above the PTC ceramic electric heater inside the water inlet pipe, a second movable water pipe is connected to the top of the water inlet pipe through a water pipe movable joint, a first movable water pipe is connected to the other end of the second movable water pipe through a rotating joint, an aerator is fixedly connected to the bottom of the other end of the first movable water pipe, and a temperature adjustment knob is fixedly installed on the side wall of the faucet body.

[0005] Preferably, the inlet water temperature detector, the outlet temperature detector, and the PTC ceramic electric heater are all electrically connected to the temperature control knob.

[0006] Preferably, the PTC ceramic electric heater has a plate-like structure, with a total of 3-4 plates arranged inside the water inlet pipe, each plate having an effective area of ​​8mm*40mm.

[0007] Preferably, a temperature display screen is provided at the end of the temperature control knob.

[0008] Preferably, a base is provided on the outer periphery of the bottom of the faucet body.

[0009] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0010] This automatically temperature-regulating faucet improves upon existing technology by incorporating a PTC ceramic electric heater. In practical use, kitchen and bathroom faucets still require the cold water in the pipes to be discharged before hot water can be dispensed, resulting in water waste. By adding the PTC ceramic electric heater, warm water is delivered within 3-5 seconds of turning on the faucet, reducing cold water waste and user waiting time, thus improving comfort. Once hot water arrives from the water heater, the PTC ceramic electric heater automatically shuts off, preventing electricity waste. Attached Figure Description
