Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen and bathroom equipment technology, and in particular to a control box and an electronically temperature-controlled parallel sensor faucet. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, kitchen and bathroom water supply systems are often equipped with mixing and temperature-regulating mechanisms, allowing users to adjust the water temperature according to their own habits. However, existing parallel sensor faucets have mechanical valves connected in parallel with under-counter solenoid valves. When the sensor opens the solenoid valve, the water flow through the faucet cannot be adjusted for temperature regulation, which limits applications that require both sensing the water flow and temperature adjustment.

[0003] Existing water mixing and temperature control mechanisms fall into two categories: manual and automatic. Manually adjusting the mixing valve to regulate the flow of cold and hot water is unreliable and inconvenient. The manual method uses two motors to control the cold and hot water inlet valves separately for automatic temperature control. However, this method also requires frequent adjustments to the motors, which need to be constantly adjusted to achieve the desired temperature. While this method offers precise temperature control, it is inconvenient, costly, and energy-intensive. In a kitchen, everyday tasks like washing vegetables and dishes do not require such precise temperature control; only appropriately sized water is needed. Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve water mixing and temperature control devices to adapt to the environment without excessive energy consumption. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a control box and an electronically temperature-controlled parallel sensor faucet, which improves the convenience of adjustment and reduces energy consumption.

[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] Control box, comprising:

[0007] The box body has a first inlet, a second inlet, and a mixing outlet;

[0008] A mixing valve is disposed within the housing and has a mixing channel. The first inlet, the second inlet, and the mixing outlet are all connected to the mixing channel. The mixing valve is signal-connected to the control system via a drive component. The drive component can adjust at least one of the fluid temperature and volume passing through the mixing channel through the control system.

[0009] A control component is disposed on the housing and has multiple fixed positions. The control component and the drive component are connected by a control system. The control component controls the drive component to drive the mixing valve to regulate the fluid passing through the mixing channel through the multiple fixed positions.

[0010] In some embodiments, the housing has a receiving cavity, the mixing valve includes a piston, the mixing channel is disposed within the piston, the receiving cavity connects the first inlet, the second inlet and the mixing outlet, the output end of the drive member is connected to the piston, and the drive member is capable of driving the piston to move within the receiving cavity so that the piston adjusts the amount of water entering the mixing channel from the first inlet and the second inlet.

[0011] In some embodiments, the mixing channel extends through the first end of the piston; the piston has two inlet ports that respectively connect the first inlet and the second inlet; the output end of the drive member is connected to the second end of the piston; the drive member drives the piston to move to control the entry size of the two inlet ports.

[0012] In some embodiments, the control system includes a control circuit board that pre-stores information on multiple different fluid temperature positions or multiple different fluid volume positions corresponding to the control element. Operating the control element causes the control circuit board to control the drive element to drive the mixing valve to regulate the fluid passing through the mixing channel.

[0013] In some embodiments, the control box further includes an electronic control valve disposed between the mixing outlet and the mixing valve to allow or block water flow.

[0014] In some embodiments, the control box further includes a mechanical control valve disposed between the mixing valve and the electronic control valve to allow or block water flow.

[0015] In some embodiments, the mechanical control valve is a ball valve, and a control rod is connected to the ball valve, the control rod extending out of the housing.

[0016] In some embodiments, the housing is further provided with a first outlet, a second outlet, and a mixing inlet. The first outlet is connected to the first inlet, the second outlet is connected to the second inlet, and the mixing outlet is connected to the mixing inlet. The first outlet, the second outlet, the mixing inlet, and the mixing outlet are located on the same side of the housing.

[0017] In some embodiments, the control box further includes a display screen and a temperature sensor, the temperature sensor being able to monitor the temperature of the water flow after mixing in the mixing channel, and the temperature sensor being connected to the display screen through the control system.

[0018] In some embodiments, the housing is further provided with an indicator light, which is connected to the control unit through the control system.

[0019] An electronically temperature-controlled parallel sensor faucet, comprising:

[0020] A faucet body, which is operably mounted above a mounting surface, is provided with a discharge port for conveying water;

[0021] An electronically controlled valve is connected in series with a mixing valve. When the electronically controlled valve is open, it allows water to flow through and be discharged through the outlet. When the electronically controlled valve is closed, it prevents water from flowing through the electronically controlled valve to the outlet.

[0022] An inductive switch is used to open or close the electronically controlled valve;

[0023] A mechanical mixing valve is located inside the faucet body;

[0024] The mechanical mixing valve is connected in parallel with the electronic control valve, and the control system controls the drive to adjust at least one of the fluid temperature and volume passing through the mixing valve; the electronic control valve and the mixing valve are located inside the control box.

[0025] In some embodiments, the control box has a control element with multiple fixed positions. The control element and the drive element are connected via the control system. The control element controls the drive element to adjust the mixing valve through the multiple fixed positions.

[0026] In some embodiments, the control system includes a control circuit board that pre-stores information on multiple different fluid temperature positions or multiple different fluid volume positions corresponding to the control element. Operating the control element causes the control circuit board to control a drive element to drive the mixing valve to adjust at least one of the fluid temperature and volume.

[0027] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0028] Using the aforementioned control box, the hot water inlet pipe and the cold water inlet pipe are connected to the first inlet and the second inlet, respectively. The control unit is located on the box body. By operating the control unit, the desired water temperature or flow rate can be selected. After selecting the corresponding water temperature or flow rate, the driving component can drive the mixing valve to adjust to the corresponding position and directly output the set water temperature or flow rate. The temperature or flow rate adjustment is fast. The driving component adjusts the amount of water entering the mixing channel from the first and second inlets, thereby adjusting the inflow of hot and cold water. After mixing in the mixing channel, the water flows out from the mixing outlet. The control box uses a fixed setting of a single control unit to control the driving component, eliminating the need for frequent adjustments, extending the lifespan of the driving component, and reducing energy consumption. This temperature control mechanism is particularly suitable for kitchen environments. For daily washing of vegetables and dishes, only the water temperature needs to be adjusted to a suitable level. Slight variations are acceptable, but precise temperature control is not required and will not affect actual use. In addition, this temperature control method does not require multiple temperature sensors to detect the hot and cold water inlet and outlet temperatures for feedback adjustment. Fewer components are required, and the design of complex temperature feedback adjustment procedures is also reduced.

[0029] Furthermore, the electronic control valve, mixing valve, and drive components in the electronically temperature-controlled parallel sensor faucet are integrated into the control box, resulting in high component integration, a simple appearance, and a small size. The faucet's mechanical potential water circuit and electronic temperature-controlled water circuit are set in parallel, allowing for both manual and electronic temperature adjustment, providing diverse, fast, and convenient temperature control options.

[0040] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0041] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0042] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. 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.

[0043] 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.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this application provides a control box, which includes a box body 1, a mixing valve 10, and a control component 11. The box body 1 has a first inlet 3, a second inlet 4, and a mixing outlet 5. The mixing valve 10 is disposed inside the box body 1 and has a mixing channel 102. The first inlet 3, the second inlet 4, and the mixing outlet 5 are all connected to the mixing channel 102. The mixing valve 10 is signal-connected to the control system via a drive component 9. The drive component 9 can adjust at least one of the fluid temperature and volume passing through the mixing channel 102 through the control system. The control component 11 is disposed on the box body 1 and has multiple fixed positions. The control component 11 and the drive component 9 are controlled and connected through the control system. The control component 11 controls the drive component 9 to drive the mixing valve 10 to adjust the fluid passing through the mixing channel 102 through the multiple fixed positions.

[0045] Using the aforementioned control box 100, the hot water inlet pipe and the cold water inlet pipe are connected to the first inlet 3 and the second inlet 4, respectively. The control element 11 is mounted on the box body 1. By operating the control element 11, the desired water temperature or volume can be selected. After selecting the corresponding water temperature or volume, the mixing valve 10 can be adjusted to the corresponding position via the drive element 9 to directly output the set water temperature or volume. The temperature or flow rate adjustment is fast. The drive element 9 adjusts the amount of water entering the mixing channel 102 from the first inlet 3 and the second inlet 4, thereby adjusting the inflow of hot and cold water. After mixing in the mixing channel 102, the water flows out from the mixing outlet 5. The control box uses a fixed setting of the control element 11 to control the drive element 9, eliminating the need for frequent adjustments to the drive element 9, extending its service life, and reducing energy consumption. This temperature adjustment mechanism is particularly suitable for kitchen environments, where daily washing of vegetables and dishes only requires adjusting the water to a suitable temperature. Slight variations are acceptable, but precise temperature control is not necessary and does not affect actual use. In addition, this temperature control method does not require multiple temperature sensors to detect the inlet and outlet water temperatures for feedback adjustment, requiring fewer components and reducing the design of complex temperature feedback adjustment procedures.

[0046] In some embodiments, the housing 1 has a receiving cavity 2, and the mixing valve 10 includes a piston 101, a mixing channel 102 disposed within the piston 101, the receiving cavity 2 connecting a first inlet 3, a second inlet 4, and a mixing outlet 5, the output end of a drive member 9 connected to the piston 101, the drive member 9 being able to drive the piston 101 to move within the receiving cavity 2, so that the piston 101 adjusts the amount of water entering the mixing channel 102 from the first inlet 3 and the second inlet 4. Specifically, the control box 100 is provided with two water inlet channels, the two water inlet channels communicating with the receiving cavity 2, one end of the two water inlet channels opening to the first inlet 3 and the second inlet 4, to connect to the external cold water inlet pipe and hot water inlet pipe respectively, the two water inlet channels connecting to the receiving cavity 2, and forming a connection port 14 on the receiving cavity 2, thereby connecting the first inlet 3 and the second inlet 4 to the receiving cavity 2, the connection ports 14 of the two water inlet channels on the receiving cavity 2 being spaced apart along the axial direction of the piston 101, and the two connection ports 14 being located on opposite sides of the receiving cavity 2.

[0047] The mixing channel 102 of the piston 101 passes through the first end of the piston 101, thereby connecting the mixing channel 102 to the mixing outlet 5. The second end of the piston 101 is connected to the output end of the drive member 9. The piston 101 is also provided with two inlet ports 103. The two inlet ports 103 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the piston 101 and correspond to two connection ports 14 respectively. This allows the water entering from the first inlet 3 and the second inlet 4 to enter the mixing channel 102 through the connection port 14 and the inlet port 103, mix, and then flow out from the mixing outlet 5.

[0048] When the driving member 9 drives the piston 101 to move axially, the inlet 103 on the piston 101 can be aligned with or misaligned with the connection port 14, thereby changing the size of the inlet 103 relative to the connection port 14, and thus adjusting the amount of water entering, thereby adjusting the temperature of the mixture. Exemplarily, the driving member 9 can be, but is not limited to, a DC motor. It is understood that when the inlet water temperature of the cold water inlet pipe and the hot water inlet pipe is the same, the movement of the piston 101 can also change only the volume of the mixed water, without changing the temperature. In other embodiments, the mixing valve 10 can also have a sleeve fixed inside the receiving cavity 2, and the sleeve has a sleeve opening corresponding to the connection port 14. The piston 101 moves within the sleeve, facilitating its movement. The sleeve has openings at both ends, one end allowing liquid to flow out of the mixing channel 102, and the other end allowing the output end of the driving member 9 to extend into the connecting piston 101.

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the control box 100 further includes an electronic control valve 12, which is disposed between the mixing outlet 5 and the piston 101. The electronic control valve 12 allows water flow to be allowed or blocked, thereby controlling the timing of water output. The electronic control valve 12 can also be used in conjunction with an external inductive switch 204. Exemplarily, the electronic control valve 12 may be, but is not limited to, a solenoid valve. Further, the control box 100 also includes a mechanical control valve 13, which is disposed between the piston 101 and the electronic control valve 12. This allows the mechanical control valve 13 to control water flow to be allowed or blocked when the electronic control valve 12 fails due to malfunction or power outage, preventing unnecessary leakage. Exemplarily, the mechanical control valve 13 is a ball valve disposed within the mixing channel 102, with a connecting rod extending out of the control box 100. The connecting rod drives the ball valve to rotate, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the mixing channel 102. In the current embodiment, the end of the connecting rod is flush with the end of the control box 100 to reduce unnecessary interference. To facilitate rotation of the connecting rod, a groove for use with a screwdriver or similar tool is provided at the end of the connecting rod away from the ball valve. Since the mechanical control valve 13 only needs to be operated when the electronic control valve 12 malfunctions or experiences a power outage, and the number of operations required is very small, a dedicated operating handle is not necessary. A groove for use with a screwdriver or similar tool is sufficient. In such cases, the screwdriver, in conjunction with the groove, rotates the ball valve to control the opening and closing of the mixing channel 102.

[0050] In some embodiments, the control box 100 further includes a display screen and a temperature sensor (not shown in the figure). In the current embodiment, the monitoring end of the temperature sensor is located between the electronic control valve 12 and the mixing outlet 5 to monitor the temperature of the mixed water after mixing in the mixing channel 102. The display screen is located on the control box 100. The temperature sensor is connected to the display screen through the control system to transmit the temperature monitored by the temperature sensor to the display screen for display, providing a reference for the user and allowing the user to know whether the desired setting has been adjusted. In actual use, since the desired temperature or water volume is pre-adjusted, the control system pre-stores multiple fixed positions of the drive component 9 corresponding to the water temperature or water volume. Operating the control component 11 can directly adjust the mixing valve 10 to the corresponding water temperature. The actual displayed water temperature may be inconsistent with the pre-set fixed temperature due to the influence of changes in the cold and hot inlet water temperatures, but this change is very small and not much different from the displayed temperature. For a kitchen space, precise temperature is not required and has no impact on actual use.

[0051] like Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the control element 11 can be a knob or a push button, and the control system includes at least a control circuit board 15 to connect to the drive element 9. The control circuit board 15 is integrated into the control box 100. The control circuit board 15 pre-stores information on multiple different fluid temperature positions or multiple different fluid volume positions corresponding to the control element 11. Operating the control element 11 causes the control circuit board 15 to control the drive element 9 to drive the mixing valve 10 to regulate the fluid passing through the mixing channel 102. To further enhance visual control, the control box 100 is also provided with indicator lights, which display different levels by using different colors or different numbers of indicator lights. In the current embodiment, the indicator lights are arranged around the control element 11. It should be noted that the number of levels of the control element 11 is not specifically limited, for example, it can include 30℃, 35℃, 40℃, or 45℃, etc. In the current embodiment, the control element 11 is a knob, but alternatively, it can also be a button or a push button.

[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, in order to expand the scope of use and to connect to different types of faucets 200, such as fixed or pull-out types, in some embodiments, the control box 100 also includes a first outlet 6, a second outlet 7, and a mixing inlet 8. The first outlet 6 is connected to the first inlet 3, the second outlet 7 is connected to the second inlet 4, and the mixing outlet 5 is connected to the mixing inlet 8. The mixing inlet 8 is located between the mixing outlet 5 and the electronic control valve 12, so that the first outlet 6, the second outlet 7, and the mixing inlet 8 can be connected to the pipes on the faucet 200.

[0053] In the current embodiment, both water inlet channels are T-shaped pipes. The first opening of the T-shaped pipe is the connection port 14; the second opening of the T-shaped pipe is the first inlet 3 or the second inlet 4 connecting the external cold water inlet pipe and the hot water inlet pipe; and the third opening of the T-shaped pipe is the first outlet 6 or the second outlet 7. This allows the cold water inlet pipe and the hot water inlet pipe to enter the mixing channel 102 for mixing through the first inlet 3 and the second inlet 4. At the same time, the cold water inlet pipe and the hot water inlet pipe can also directly enter the faucet 200 through the first outlet 6 and the second outlet 7. The mixing inlet 8 is also directly connected to the pipe on the faucet 200 for connecting the pull-out faucet.

[0054] In some embodiments, the first outlet 6, the second outlet 7, and the mixing inlet 8 and the mixing outlet 5 are located on the same side of the control box 100 to facilitate the connection of different pipes.

[0055] This application also provides an electronically temperature-controlled parallel sensor faucet, which includes the aforementioned control box 100 and faucet 200. The faucet 200 includes a faucet body 201, which has a discharge port 202 for dispensing water. The faucet 200 can be a fixed faucet or a pull-out faucet.

[0056] Depending on the form of the faucet 200, the structure of the faucet 200 varies. For example, the faucet 200 may adopt, but is not limited to, the following structural methods:

[0057] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments where the faucet 200 is a fixed faucet, the faucet body 201 also has a water outlet channel with two inlets and one outlet. The outlet of the water outlet channel is the discharge port 202. A mechanical mixing valve 203 (mixing valve) is also installed on the faucet body 201. The mechanical mixing valve 203 is located inside the faucet body 201 and is positioned at one of the inlets of the water outlet channel, so that the valve outlet of the mechanical mixing valve 203 is connected to the aforementioned inlet. The mechanical mixing valve 203 is a commonly used component in the prior art, and its specific structure will not be described in detail. The faucet 200 also includes a first pipe 205, a second pipe 206, and a third pipe 207. The first pipe 205 connects the first outlet 6 to the first valve inlet of the mechanical mixing valve 203, and the second pipe 206 connects the second outlet to the second valve inlet of the mechanical mixing valve 203. This allows the water flow from the cold water inlet pipe and the hot water inlet pipe to directly enter the mechanical mixing valve for mixing, and then be discharged through the water outlet channel and the discharge port 202. The third pipe 207 connects the mixing outlet 5 and another inlet of the outlet channel. The mixing inlet 8 can be blocked with a plug, so that the mixed water in the mixing channel 102 can be discharged from the outlet 202 after passing through the outlet channel.

[0058] In addition, the electronically temperature-controlled parallel sensor faucet 200 is also equipped with a sensor switch 204, which is located on the faucet body 201. It is understood that the sensor switch 204 can also be installed independently of the faucet body 201. The sensor switch 204 is connected to the electronic control valve 12 through the control system, allowing the sensor switch 204 to control the opening or closing of the electronic control valve 12. That is, when using the above-mentioned faucet 200, the sensor switch 204 and the mechanical mixing valve can be connected in parallel to control the water flow from the discharge port 202 without interfering with each other. This makes operation more convenient and ensures that the faucet 200 can still function normally even if either one fails. It is understood that in some alternative embodiments, only one of the mechanical mixing valve and the sensor switch 204 may be provided.

[0059] like Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments where the faucet 200 is a pull-out faucet, the faucet 200 may also include a faucet body 201, which also has a pull-out tube. The outlet of the pull-out tube is the discharge port 202. In the current embodiment, the faucet body 201 is provided with a mechanical mixing valve 203, a first pipe 205, a second pipe 206, and a third pipe 207. The first pipe 205 connects the first outlet 6 to the first valve inlet of the mechanical mixing valve 203, the second pipe 206 connects the second outlet 7 to the second valve inlet of the mechanical mixing valve 203, and the third pipe 207 connects the valve outlet of the mechanical mixing valve 203 and the mixing inlet 8. The inlet of the pull-out tube connects to the mixing outlet 5 (the inlet of the pull-out tube can also be connected to the mixing outlet 5 through the adapter pipe 208). Therefore, the water flowing from the cold water inlet pipe and the hot water inlet pipe can directly enter the mechanical mixing valve 203 for mixing, and then enter the mixing channel 102 through the third pipe 207, and flow out from the mixing outlet 5 to the discharge outlet 202; alternatively, the water flowing from the cold water inlet pipe and the hot water inlet pipe enters the mixing channel 102 through the first inlet 3 and the second inlet 4, and then passes through the electronic control valve 12 and the mixing outlet 5 before being discharged from the discharge outlet 202. This connection method allows mixed water from different paths to be first introduced into the mixing channel 102, and then discharged through a pull-out pipe, which is suitable for connecting pull-out faucets.

[0060] In this embodiment, a sensor switch 204 can also be installed on the faucet body 201. The sensor switch 204 can be installed on the faucet body 201 or independently on the faucet body 201. The sensor switch 204 is connected to the electronic control valve 12 through the control system, so that the sensor switch 204 can control the start and stop of the electronic control valve 12. Thus, the electronic control valve 12 and the mixing valve 10 can be connected in series to control the water output of the discharge port 202; the electronic control valve 12 and the mechanical mixing valve 203 can be connected in parallel to control the water output of the discharge port 202 without interference. The sensor switch 204 can be an infrared sensor, a TOF sensor, or a contact capacitive switch sensor, etc. An external battery box (not shown in the figure) can also be installed outside the control box 100. The battery box contains replaceable or rechargeable batteries and is used to power the control system, the sensor switch 204, the electronic control valve 12, and the drive component 9. The sensor switch 204 on the faucet 200 is connected to the battery box through a power cord. Alternatively, the control box 100 can also be directly connected to the mains power. This embodiment uses a battery box for power supply. The above method can reduce the energy consumption of the batteries in the battery box and improve their service life without frequent battery replacements.

[0061] Regardless of which type of faucet 200 is used, the mixing valve 10 can be controlled by multiple fixed positions of the control component 11 in the control box 100, thereby regulating the water flow at the outlet.

[0062] The electronic control valve 12, mixing valve 10, and drive component 9 in the electronic temperature-regulating parallel sensor faucet are integrated into the control box 100. The components have a high degree of integration, a simple appearance, and a small size. The mechanical potential water circuit and the electronic temperature-regulating water circuit of the faucet 200 are set in parallel, which can be adjusted manually or electronically by sensing, making temperature adjustment versatile, fast, and convenient.

[0063] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
