[0022] The embodiment provides a smart shower with water consumption monitoring, which comprises a shower body 1, a microcircuit mainboard module 2 and a probe module arranged on the shower body 1.

[0023] The probe module comprises a first probe 31 and a second probe 32, the first probe 31 and the second probe 32 are connected to the microcircuit mainboard module 2, the first probe 31 and the second probe 32 are arranged at a set interval along the pipeline direction of the shower body 1, and the first probe 31 and the second probe 32 both enter the internal pipeline of the shower body 1 and are used for generating corresponding electric signals and sending the electric signals to the microcircuit mainboard module 2 when water flow passes through the internal pipeline of the shower body 1.

[0024] The first probe 31 is arranged on one side of the shower body 1 close to a water supply pipe, the second probe 32 is arranged on one side of the shower body 1 close to a shower water outlet, the first probe 31 and the second probe 32 are both electrode probes, are insulated by air when placed in the air, can be conducted when placed in water, and the working principle of the first probe 31 and the second probe 32 can be referred to a water immersion sensor, so that repeated description is not made herein.

[0025] When the first probe 31 and the second probe 32 contact water respectively, electric signals can be generated, therefore, when a user opens the water supply, water flow first flows to the position of the first probe 31, so that the first probe 31 is conducted to generate a first electric signal and send the first electric signal to the microcircuit mainboard module 2, then the water flow flows to the position of the second probe 32, so that the second probe 32 is conducted to generate a second electric signal and send the second electric signal to the microcircuit mainboard module 2, when the microcircuit mainboard module 2 receives the first electric signal first, it is indicated that the water supply pipeline is opened, and timing is started, when the microcircuit mainboard module 2 receives the second electric signal, the interval time between the first electric signal and the second electric signal is combined with the interval of the first probe 31 and the second probe 32 and the inner diameter of the shower body 1 which are set in advance, so that the flow rate can be calculated and obtained.

[0026] Further, when the first electric signal and the second electric signal exist simultaneously and continuously, the microcircuit mainboard module 2 performs timing, and the timing is ended when the first electric signal and the second electric signal both disappear, through the counted time and the flow rate, the current water consumption can be calculated and obtained and uploaded and saved.

[0027] The microcircuit mainboard module 2 comprises a control mainboard connected with the probe module through wires 23 to receive the electrical signals of the probe module, and is provided with a battery and an Internet of Things card, so that the control mainboard can realize data transmission with the router in the current scene through the Internet of Things card, and the electrical signal data of the probe module can be uploaded to the server. The user can preset and input the data such as the internal pipe diameter of the shower body 1, the distance between the first probe 31 and the second probe 32, etc. in the server. After the data of the probe module is uploaded, the server can obtain the current water use condition and calculate the current flow rate and water volume data. The user can access the server through a mobile phone terminal or other terminal to obtain the data on the server.

[0028] In one embodiment, the microcircuit mainboard module 2 and the probe module form an integrated structure with the shower body 1. A sealed cavity for accommodating the microcircuit mainboard is formed on the shower body 1. The connecting wires 23 of the probe module and the microcircuit mainboard module 2 are embedded in the shower body 1 to form effective waterproof protection.

[0029] In another embodiment, the microcircuit mainboard module 2 and the probe module can also be a split structure with the shower body 1, so that the user can install the microcircuit mainboard module 2 and the probe module on the existing shower body 1, thereby avoiding replacing the entire shower body 1. Specifically, referring to Figure 3 The microcircuit mainboard module 2 comprises a control mainboard, a shell 21 and a clamp 22. The control mainboard is arranged in the shell 21. The shell 21 is detachably fixed to the existing shower body 1 through the clamp 22. The first probe 31 and the second probe 32 in the probe module are respectively connected with the mainboard through wires 23. The wires 23 are arranged in the shell 21 and can be sealed at the arranged position by means of glue dispensing or the like to ensure waterproofness. The wires 23 can be flat wires 23, so as to be more fitted to the outer wall of the shower body 1 and be fixed by means of gluing or the like;

[0030] The first probe 31 and the second probe 32 adopt the same structure and comprise a probe 33 and an end cap. Referring to Figure 4 One end of the probe 33 is formed with a self-tapping thread, so that the user can rotate the probe 33 to drill the probe 33 into the existing shower body 1 when installing and arranging. Preferably, the user usually installs the probe 33 on a shower body 1 made of plastic material. One end of the probe 33 penetrates the outer wall of the shower body 1 and enters the internal pipeline of the shower body 1. The end cap is sleeved on the other end of the probe 33 and is rotatably arranged with the probe 33. The wires 23 are connected with the end cap. The inner side of the end cap is provided with a metal gasket connected with the wires 23. The metal gasket is in contact with the probe 33.

[0031] Further, the outer periphery of the probe 33 is further sleeved with a rubber ring 34. After the probe is screwed into the shower body 1, the rubber ring 34 is deformed and tightly abuts against the outer wall of the shower body 1 by the end cap, so as to form a seal on the periphery of the installation position of the probe 33, thereby preventing water leakage.

[0032] In the above two embodiments, the first probe 31 and the second probe 32 are both provided as two, two first probes 31 are arranged at the same distance position on the pipeline path of the shower body 1 in different radial directions, and two second probes 32 are also arranged at another same distance position on the pipeline path of the shower body 1 in different radial directions. When there is no water in the pipeline of the shower body 1, the two first probes 31 or the two second probes 32 are insulated, and when there is water, the two first probes 31 or the two second probes 32 are conductive.

[0033] Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor should belong to the scope of protection of the present application.
