Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0042] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," and "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.
[0043] Reference Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this utility model provides a liquid level visualization automatic sensing soap dispenser with a compact and reasonable overall structure and ingenious connection structure between various components. This not only improves product performance but also makes the soap dispenser more aesthetically pleasing and suitable for various usage scenarios. The liquid level visualization automatic sensing soap dispenser includes a soap bottle 1 with an inner cavity and an intelligent pump head 2 mounted on the soap bottle 1. The soap bottle 1 includes a bottom shell 11, a bottle body 12, and a liquid level viewing ring 13 connecting the bottom shell 11 and the bottle body 12. The liquid level viewing ring 13 is made of transparent acrylic material, and the height of the liquid level viewing ring 13 on the soap bottle 1 is less than or equal to 1 / 4 of the height of the soap bottle 1.
[0044] The bottle body 12 has openings at both its upper and lower ends. The lower part of the intelligent pump head 2 extends into the inner cavity of the soap bottle 1 from the upper opening of the bottle body 12. A first limiting groove is circumferentially provided at the lower opening of the bottle body 12. A first limiting ring 14 for embedding into the first limiting groove is provided at the top of the liquid level viewing ring 13. A second limiting groove is circumferentially provided at the top of the bottom shell 11. A second limiting ring 15 for embedding into the second limiting groove is provided at the bottom of the liquid level viewing ring 13. By embedding the first limiting ring 14 into the first limiting groove and the second limiting ring 15 into the second limiting groove, the bottle body 12, the liquid level viewing ring 13, and the bottom shell 11 are connected as a whole. The embedded structure design ensures strong sealing at the connection gaps and a stable connection structure. Multiple positioning protrusions are circumferentially spaced within the second limiting groove, and a positioning groove is provided at the bottom of the second limiting ring 15 corresponding to each positioning protrusion. During the assembly of the soap bottle 1, the positioning protrusions are first inserted into the positioning grooves for positioning, so that the liquid level viewing ring 13 is installed on the bottom shell 11. Then, the first limiting ring 14 is fixed to the first limiting groove for quick positioning to connect the bottle body 12, the liquid level viewing ring 13, and the bottom shell 11 together. Furthermore, the first limiting ring 14 and the first limiting groove can be connected by threads.
[0045] The intelligent pump head 2 has a first positioning skirt structure 21 on its outer periphery in the middle, and a sealing ring 22 at the bottom of the first positioning skirt structure 21; the upper end opening of the bottle body 12 has a second positioning skirt structure 16 on its inner periphery, and the top of the second positioning skirt structure 16 has a sealing limiting groove that matches the sealing ring 22. When the intelligent pump head 2 is installed on the soap bottle 1, under the gravity of the intelligent pump head 2, the first positioning skirt structure 21 presses the sealing ring 22 onto the second positioning skirt structure 16, resulting in a better seal between the intelligent pump head 2 and the soap bottle 1.
[0046] The intelligent pump head 2 is provided with multiple snap-fit protrusions 23 at intervals on the outer periphery of its middle part, and the snap-fit protrusions 23 are located below the sealing ring 22; the inner sidewall of the second positioning skirt structure 16 is provided with a snap-fit upper limit step 17 corresponding to each snap-fit protrusion 23, and a snap-fit lower limit step 18 is connected between two adjacent snap-fit upper limit steps 17 in the horizontal direction; the snap-fit upper limit step 17 is higher than the snap-fit lower limit step 18 in the vertical direction; a snap-fit notch is opened between one end of the snap-fit upper limit step 17 and the snap-fit lower limit step 18, and a limit block 19 is connected between the other end of the snap-fit upper limit step 17 and the snap-fit lower limit step 18.
[0047] When placing the smart pump head 2 onto the soap bottle 1, first align the locking protrusion 23 with the lower locking step 18. After placement, the lower locking step 23 and the second positioning skirt structure 16 limit the depth of placement of the smart pump head 2. Then, rotate the smart pump head 2 horizontally so that the locking protrusion 23 rotates from the locking notch into the lower locking step 17. After rotation, the limiting block 19 prevents the smart pump head 2 from rotating further, and the upper locking step 17 prevents the smart pump head 2 from moving upwards, thus completing the installation and fixation of the smart pump head 2 onto the soap bottle 1.
[0048] The soap dispenser also includes a mounting assembly 3; the mounting assembly 3 includes a plug-in block 31 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the soap dispenser bottle 1, and a plug-in seat for external fixation; the plug-in seat includes an adhesive plate 32, and a plug-in plate 33 located in the middle of the adhesive plate 32 and having an inner cavity; the front end face and top of the plug-in plate 33 both have openings communicating with the inner cavity of the plug-in plate 33; each of the two opposite outer sides of the plug-in block 31 has a plug-in groove in the vertical direction; each of the two opposite sides of the opening on the front end face of the plug-in plate 33 has a plug-in slider extending inward; the cross-section of the plug-in block 31 is heart-shaped, and the opening on the front end face of the plug-in plate 33 gradually narrows from top to bottom. When the plug-in slider is inserted into the plug-in groove, the opening on the front end face of the plug-in plate 33 can limit the insertion depth of the plug-in block 31 and stably support the soap dispenser, thereby ensuring the stability of the plug-in structure. The mounting component 3 adopts the design of plug-in block 31 and plug-in socket. In actual installation, the plug-in block 31 is inserted from the top opening of the plug-in plate 33, and the plug-in slider slides into the plug-in slot, making the installation and disassembly of the soap dispenser more convenient and quick. No additional fasteners are needed, which reduces the installation difficulty and maintenance cost.
[0049] The intelligent pump head 2 includes a pump head housing 24, a main control board 25 and an electric pump assembly 26 installed inside the pump head housing 24, and a liquid outlet 27 and an infrared sensor 28 installed at the front end of the pump head housing 24; the main control board 25 is electrically connected to the electric pump assembly 26 and the infrared sensor 28 respectively; the electric pump assembly 26 includes a pump body and a motor driven by the pump body.
[0050] The electric pump assembly 26 is provided with a suction port and a discharge port; the suction port is connected to a first liquid guide tube 29, which extends to the bottom of the inner cavity of the soap bottle 1; the discharge port is connected to a dispensing nozzle 27 via a second liquid guide tube 290; the electric pump assembly 26 is used to drive the soap liquid in the inner cavity of the soap bottle 1 to be output sequentially from the first liquid guide tube 29, the suction port, the discharge port, and the second liquid guide tube 290 to the dispensing nozzle 27. The top of the pump head housing 24 is also provided with a touch switch 4 and a display screen 5, which are electrically connected to the main control board 25 respectively.
[0051] Employing an infrared sensor 28, users simply need to bring their hand near the sensor's sensing area to automatically dispense soap, eliminating the need for direct contact with the dispenser. This effectively prevents bacterial transmission, improves hygiene, and enhances the user experience. To prevent sensor malfunction and for those unfamiliar with the automatic sensor function, a touch switch 4 has been added, allowing users to manually control the dispensing. The display screen 5 shows information such as remaining soap and battery level, increasing the product's intelligence and improving the user experience.
[0052] When the liquid is detected by the infrared sensor 28 or manually controlled by the touch switch 4, the main control board 25 transmits the liquid dispensing control command to the motor. The motor drives the pump to work, so that the soap liquid in the inner cavity of the soap bottle 1 is output sequentially from the first liquid guide tube 29, the suction port, the liquid outlet, and the second liquid guide tube 290 to the liquid outlet 27, thereby completing the liquid dispensing command.
[0053] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the utility model and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
