Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water safety protection technology, and in particular relates to a leakage warning and protection device for water-using equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In homes, offices, and other settings, water-using appliances such as water dispensers, water purifiers, and tea tubs may occasionally leak due to aging pipes or loose connections. Current technology typically lacks automatic water shut-off and warning functions, meaning leaks are often not detected or addressed promptly, potentially leading to flooding, equipment damage, or even short circuits and other safety hazards.
[0003] Currently, most related products in the industry are single-function components, lacking integrated leak protection devices that cannot simultaneously achieve the linkage function of "detection-water shut-off-alarm". Therefore, there is an urgent need for an integrated protection device that can quickly respond to leaks and simultaneously shut off the water supply and issue an alarm, in order to solve the problem of insufficient leak protection for water-using equipment in existing technologies. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a water leakage warning and protection device for water-using equipment to solve the common problems of water leakage that cannot be automatically and quickly shut off and simultaneously alerted.
[0005] This utility model achieves the above-mentioned objectives through the following technical solution: it includes a hollow box body, and further includes a main control module, a water droplet sensor, a water leakage protection component, an alarm component, and a power supply unit disposed in the box body. The water droplet sensor is electrically connected to the main control module and the alarm component respectively. The water leakage protection component includes a water circuit connector connected to the water circuit of the water-using equipment and a water stop component. The water stop component is connected to the water flow channel of the water circuit connector.
[0006] Furthermore, when the water droplet sensor detects a leak, the main control module inside the box activates the warning component to issue a warning signal. At the same time, the water-stopping component controls the valve core inside the water circuit connector to flip over to block the water flow channel.
[0007] Furthermore, the water-stopping component is equipped with expansion cotton inside, which is located in the cotton groove on the inner side of the water-stopping component. When the expansion cotton expands when it comes into contact with water, it pushes the valve core inside the water circuit connector to block the water flow channel.
[0008] Furthermore, the warning component includes a buzzer and a perforated cover, the perforated cover being embedded in the housing, the buzzer having a warning decibel of 100 dB, and the buzzer being electrically connected to the main control module.
[0009] Furthermore, the box body is made of ABS material, and its dimensions are 115*90*55mm.
[0010] Furthermore, the water circuit connector is a 2-point elbow, and the water leakage protection component is applicable to a water pressure range of 0.1-0.4 MPa.
[0011] Furthermore, the power supply unit is a battery, the voltage provided by the power supply unit is 3V, and the power supply unit supplies power to the main control module, the water droplet sensor and the warning component.
[0012] Furthermore, the water droplet sensor includes a water level sensing probe, which is disposed at the bottom of the box and its sensing end is exposed at the bottom of the box to contact the leak. When the sensing end contacts the leak, it transmits a signal to the main control module to synchronously activate the warning component.
[0013] Beneficial effects: This utility model is reasonably designed and has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. In this utility model solution, after the water droplet sensor detects water leakage, the main control module synchronously triggers water cut-off and warning, which solves the problem of delayed response in existing equipment;
[0015] 2. In this utility model, the mechanical water shut-off of the valve core is combined with the electronic warning of the buzzer, which improves the reliability of protection;
[0016] 3. In this utility model, the water pipe connector adopts a 2-point elbow, which is suitable for water pressure of 0.1-0.4 MPa and is compatible with most equipment such as water dispensers and water purifiers. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0024] Combination Figures 1 to 4 The device shown is a water leakage warning and protection device for a water-using equipment. It includes a hollow box 1, a main control module 101, a water droplet sensor 2, a leakage protection component 3, a warning component 4, and a power supply unit 102, all of which are disposed within the box 1. The water droplet sensor 2 is electrically connected to the main control module 101 and the warning component 4, respectively. The leakage protection component 3 includes a water circuit connector 301 connected to the water circuit of the water-using equipment and a water stop component 302. The water stop component 302 is connected to the water flow channel of the water circuit connector 301.
[0025] When the water droplet sensor 2 detects a leak, the main control module 101 inside the housing 1 activates the warning component 4 to issue a warning signal. At the same time, the water stop component 302 controls the valve core inside the water circuit connector 301 to flip over to block the water flow channel.
[0026] The water-stopping component 302 is equipped with an expansion cotton 303 inside. The expansion cotton 303 is located in the cotton groove inside the water-stopping component 302. When the expansion cotton 303 expands when it comes into contact with water, it pushes the valve core inside the water circuit connector 301 to block the water flow channel.
[0027] The warning component 4 includes a buzzer 401 and a perforated cover 402. The perforated cover 402 is embedded in the housing 1. The buzzer 401 has a warning decibel of 100 dB and is electrically connected to the main control module 101.
[0028] Box 1 is made of ABS material and its dimensions are 115*90*55mm.
[0029] Water connector 301 is a 2-point elbow, and water leakage protection component 3 is applicable to water pressure ranges of 0.1-0.4 MPa.
[0030] The power supply unit 102 is a battery, and the voltage provided by the power supply unit 102 is 3V. The power supply unit 102 supplies power to the main control module 101, the water droplet sensor 2 and the warning component 4.
[0031] The water droplet sensor 2 includes a water level sensing probe 201, which is located at the bottom of the housing 1 and its sensing end is exposed at the bottom of the housing 1 to contact the leaking water. When the sensing end contacts the leaking water, it transmits a signal to the main control module 101 to simultaneously activate the warning component 4.
[0032] Working principle: When water leakage occurs in the water-using equipment during use, the water flow comes into contact with the water level sensor 201 at the bottom of the box. The water droplet sensor 2 transmits the signal to the main control module 101. The main control module activates the warning component 4, and the buzzer 401 emits a 100dB alarm sound to remind on-site personnel to handle the situation.
[0033] Meanwhile, the expansion cotton 303 inside the water-stopping component 302 absorbs water and expands rapidly, pushing the valve core inside the water circuit connector 301 to flip over, blocking the water flow channel and achieving mechanical water shut-off. After the leakage problem is solved, the expansion cotton is replaced and the valve core is reset, and the device can be reused. It is suitable for long-term protection in scenarios such as homes and offices.
