[0030] In order to make the technical scheme and characteristics of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific examples, and it should be understood that these examples are only used to illustrate the present application and not used to limit the scope of the present application, and after reading the present application, various equivalent modifications of the present application made by those skilled in the art all fall within the scope defined by the claims attached to the present application.

[0031] Reference Figures 1-7 The present embodiment provides an intelligent shower terminal, which comprises: a shower terminal body 1, a posture detection module 2, a body induction module 3, an electromagnetic valve 4 and a main control unit. The main control unit can be a separate control circuit board, or can be integrated on the circuit board where the body induction module 3 or the posture detection module 2 is located.

[0032] The posture detection module 2 and the human body sensing module 3 are fixed to the shower terminal body 1. The solenoid valve 4 is installed on the water outlet path of the shower terminal body 1, and can control the opening or closing of the water outlet path. The signal output terminals of the posture detection module 2 and the human body sensing module 3 are connected to the signal input terminal of the main control unit, and the signal output terminal of the main control unit is connected to the solenoid valve 4. That is, the data detected by the posture detection module 2 and the human body sensing module 3 is sent to the main control unit for processing. After processing, the main control unit outputs different signals according to different situations to control the solenoid valve 4 to achieve the corresponding function.

[0033] The aforementioned smart shower terminal, by incorporating a human body sensor module 3 and a posture detection module 2, provides the hardware foundation for automatically adjusting the water flow mode based on human behavior. The human body sensor module 3 senses and detects human movement, while the posture detection module 2 detects changes in the position of the shower terminal itself to achieve corresponding functions. For example, the human body sensor module 3 can determine whether a user has entered the shower area, thereby controlling the solenoid valve 4 to open or close, achieving automatic water supply. The posture detection module 2 can determine the tilt angle of the shower terminal and adjust the size of the shower area based on changes in the tilt angle. This avoids the problem of the actual shower area not matching the shower area defined by the human body sensor module 3 after the shower terminal itself adjusts its tilt angle.

[0034] In this embodiment, for the installation of the human body sensor module 3, the shower terminal body 1 has a groove 11 on one side of the water outlet cover 17 for accommodating the human body sensor module 3; a protective cover 12 is provided on the outward side of the groove 11 to close the groove 11. The protective cover 12 can effectively prevent water from entering the human body sensor module 3 and causing damage. The protective cover 12 can be separately installed from the water outlet cover 17 and then installed in the groove 11, such as... Figure 2 As shown, it can also be directly integrated with the water outlet cover 17 to form an integral structure, such as... Figure 11 As shown.

[0035] To fix the human body sensing module 3 within the groove 11, a connecting post 13 extends along the height direction within the groove 11, and a screw hole 14 is provided on the end face of the connecting post 13; a clearance opening 31 is provided on the circuit board where the human body sensing module 3 is located, corresponding to the position of the screw hole 14. Thus, a bolt can be passed through the clearance opening 31 and connected to the screw hole 14 to fix the circuit board where the human body sensing module 3 is located in the groove 11.

[0036] In the embodiment, the protective cover 12 is in interference fit with the groove 11 through the positioning ring 15. Specifically, the positioning ring 15 is arranged on the back of the protective cover 12 and extends outward along the thickness direction of the protective cover 12. In this way, the installation and waterproof of the protective cover 12 can be realized by inserting the positioning ring 15 of the protective cover 12 into the groove 11 to form interference fit and then filling waterproof sealant between the protective cover 12 and the inner wall of the groove 11.

[0037] In addition, in the embodiment, the surface of the protective cover 12 is provided with an anti-fog coating, so that the interference of the surface of the protective cover 12 with fog on the human body sensing module 3 during use can be avoided. In order to avoid signal attenuation and interference of the anti-fog coating on the human body sensing module 3, the anti-fog coating is a non-metal coating. Specifically, the anti-fog coating includes two cross-linking layers and two anti-fog layers, the cross-linking layers and the anti-fog layers are arranged alternately to form the anti-fog coating, one side of the anti-fog coating is a cross-linking layer plated on a substrate, and the other side is an anti-fog layer; the cross-linking agent used in the cross-linking layer is a copolymer of propylene and isobutylene and maleic anhydride; the anti-fog layer is a hydrophilic coating, and the hydrophilic coating is a polymer or monomer containing a hydrophilic functional group.

[0038] In addition, the groove 11 is coaxially arranged with the water outlet surface cover, and the groove 11 can also be arranged at any position on the water outlet surface cover, and is arranged at the center only to minimize the influence on the water spray. The human body sensing module 3 is eccentrically placed in the groove 11. As a simple alternative, the human body sensing module 3 can also be coaxially arranged with the groove 11.

[0039] In addition, in the embodiment, along the radial direction of the water outlet surface cover, the posture detection module 2 is located on the outer side of the human body sensing module 3. In the embodiment, when the human body faces the shower terminal body 1, the human body sensing module 3 is located on the right side of the central axis, and this position is defined as the initial position of the human body sensing module 3. Since the relative positions of the posture detection module 2 and the human body sensing module 3 are determined, when the shower terminal body 1 rotates relative to the initially defined position, the posture detection module 2 can detect the data of the rotation angle.

[0040] In the embodiment, the installation positions of the human body sensing module 3 and the posture detection module 2 are located on parallel planes. In addition, when the long side 32 of the human body sensing module 3 is projected to the plane where the installation position of the posture detection module 2 is located, the long side 21 of the posture detection module 2 is parallel or perpendicular to the long side 32 of the human body sensing module 3. In this way, the angle data of the human body sensing module can be conveniently synchronized, and the complex angle calibration process can be avoided.

[0041] Therefore, it is necessary to limit the installation position of the human body sensing module, so as to meet the above requirements. The side surface of the human body sensing module 3 is provided with a positioning notch 33, and the inner wall of the groove 11 is provided with a protruding rib corresponding to the notch 33. When installing, the positioning notch 33 needs to be aligned with the protruding rib, and then the human body sensing module 3 can be installed, so as to ensure that the installation position of the human body sensing module 3 is unique and accurate.

[0042] In addition, the side of the protective cover 12 towards the human body sensing module 3 is a flat area 121 corresponding to the human body sensing module 3. The thickness of the area 121 of the protective cover 12 corresponding to the human body sensing module 3 is an integer multiple of the half wavelength of the radar wave emitted by the human body sensing module 3 in the material used by the protective cover 12. For example, the protective cover 12 uses ABS material, and the human body sensing module 3 emits a radar wave of 60hz, and the half wavelength of the radar wave transmitted in the ABS material medium is 1.5mm, so the thickness of the area 121 can be 1.5mm, 3mm, 4.5mm, etc. In order to reduce the attenuation and reflection of the signal, the material of the protective cover 12 is a material with a dielectric constant less than 10 and a loss tangent value less than 0.01, such as ABS, PC, PTFE, PE, PI, glass, ceramic, etc.

[0043] The area 121 of the protective cover 12 corresponding to the human body sensing module 3 has a spacing between the human body sensing module 3, which is an integer multiple of the half wavelength of the radar wave emitted by the human body sensing module 3 in the air. For example, the human body sensing module 3 emits a radar wave of 60hz, and the half wavelength of the radar wave transmitted in the air is 2.5mm, so the spacing can be 2.5mm, 5mm, 7.5mm, etc.

[0044] The above is only one specific embodiment of the present application, but the design concept of the present application is not limited to this. Any non-essential modification of the present application using this concept is an infringement of the protection scope of the present application.
