Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sensor faucets, and in particular to an infrared sensor with display function and a sensor faucet. Background Technology

[0002] Most sensor faucets on the market currently rely on infrared sensing technology for automatic water flow control. However, this has significant limitations: key information such as water temperature and quality cannot be directly obtained during the water flow stage, forcing users to rely on touch to judge the water temperature, reducing convenience and posing a potential scalding risk. Furthermore, the lack of real-time water quality monitoring means water safety remains uncertain. To address these issues, smart sensor faucets with digital displays have emerged in recent years, displaying real-time water temperature and quality data on an electronic screen. However, these products typically suffer from bulky and scattered digital display and sensing modules, occupying considerable surface space and limiting flexibility in product design and structural optimization.

[0003] Based on the above, the display structure of existing sensor faucets needs further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] The first purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an infrared sensor with display function, which integrates sensing and display functions, reduces the volume occupied by related modules and the space occupied on the faucet surface, and makes the product structure more compact.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an infrared sensor with display function, comprising an integrated structure, a light-shielding component, and a housing, wherein the light-shielding component and the housing are configured as concave cavities, the integrated structure is disposed inside the light-shielding component, the housing is sleeved outside the light-shielding component, the light-shielding component is provided with a light-transmitting structure, the integrated structure includes a sensing component and a display component, the sensing component is used for infrared sensing, the display component is used for displaying water temperature and water quality information, and the light-transmitting structure is configured correspondingly to the sensing component and the display component.

[0006] Compared with existing technologies, this invention organically integrates the sensing module and display module into one unit through a highly integrated structural design, achieving a compact component layout and intensive functional configuration. This integrated solution can efficiently realize both sensing and display functions within a more limited volume, significantly reducing the space occupied on the surface of the sensor faucet. Furthermore, the limitations on the overall structure and form design of the sensor faucet are greatly reduced, thus providing more possibilities for product design innovation and functional expansion.

[0007] Preferably, the display component includes a plurality of LED beads, which are arranged around the periphery of the sensing component or on the upper side of the sensing component; or the display component includes a digital display screen, which is arranged on the upper side of the sensing component. The display component can adopt two methods: light display or digital display screen. The light display method distinguishes the water temperature and water quality by the color of the LED beads, and the display form is simpler. In addition to displaying the water temperature and water quality by the color of the LED beads, the digital display screen can also directly display the flow rate by numbers, making the water flow information clear and specific.

[0008] Preferably, the integrated structure further includes a PC board, on which the sensing component and display component are mounted. The sensing component includes a transmitter, a sensor, and a sensor indicator light, with the indicator light positioned between the transmitter and the sensor. The transmitter emits infrared light, and when the sensor detects that the infrared light is blocked, the sensing component transmits a signal to the sensor faucet to turn on the faucet.

[0009] Preferably, the light-transmitting structure includes a first through hole, a second through hole, a first sensing prompt hole, and a light-transmitting hole. The first through hole is correspondingly arranged with the transmitter, the second through hole is correspondingly arranged with the sensor, the first sensing prompt hole is correspondingly arranged with the sensing prompt light, and the light-transmitting hole is correspondingly arranged with the LED bead or digital display screen. When the LED bead is arranged around the sensing component, the light-transmitting hole corresponds to the LED bead one-to-one. When the LED bead is concentrated on the upper side of the sensing component, the light-transmitting hole corresponds to the LED bead as a whole.

[0010] Preferably, it also includes a diffuser film, which is disposed between the light shield and the housing. The diffuser film is provided with a diffuser sleeve, which corresponds to the light-transmitting hole. The diffuser sleeve is made of a diffuser material, which scatters the scattered light from the LED beads into a uniform light strip, making the overall light display effect more beautiful.

[0011] Preferably, the diffuser sleeve includes a first diffuser sleeve and a second diffuser sleeve. The first diffuser sleeve corresponds to the LED bead disposed on the upper side of the sensing component, and the second diffuser sleeve corresponds to the LED bead disposed on the lower side of the sensing component. The first diffuser sleeve is used to display the water temperature, and the second diffuser sleeve is used to display the water quality.

[0012] Preferably, the diffuser film is provided with a third through hole, a fourth through hole, and a second sensing prompt hole, wherein the third through hole corresponds to the first through hole, the fourth through hole corresponds to the second through hole, and the second sensing prompt hole corresponds to the first sensing prompt hole.

[0013] Preferably, the front edge of the light-shielding member has a protruding limiting part, and the limiting part and its front sidewall form a first installation position, and the diffuser film is disposed at the first installation position; forming a first installation position with high edges and low middle, the diffuser film can be quickly aligned through the first installation position.

[0014] Preferably, the housing has a sensor window protruding outwards, and the sensor window is made of a transparent material; information from the light strip or digital display screen is displayed through the sensor window.

[0015] Another objective of this invention is to provide a sensor-operated faucet, comprising a body, a faucet, an inlet / outlet water assembly, and a control box. The faucet is disposed on the upper side of the body, and the body is connected to the control box via the inlet / outlet water assembly. The body has a mounting hole, and the infrared sensor in the above-described solution is disposed on the mounting hole through a sensing window and electrically connected to the control box. Compared with the prior art, the sensor-operated faucet of this invention, due to the application of the above-described solution, has a more compact and efficient component layout, the integrated structure occupies less surface space on the sensor-operated faucet, and the structural and morphological design of the sensor-operated faucet can be more flexible.

It is only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and does 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, it should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0025] Example 1:

[0026] See Figures 1 to 2 This embodiment discloses an infrared sensor 1 with display function, including an integrated structure 2, a light-shielding member 3, and a housing 4. The light-shielding member 3 and the housing 4 are set as cavities. The integrated structure 2 is disposed inside the light-shielding member 3, and the housing 4 is sleeved on the outside of the light-shielding member 3. The light-shielding member 3 is provided with a light-transmitting structure 31. The integrated structure 2 includes a sensing component 21 and a display component 22. The sensing component 21 is used for infrared sensing, and the display component 22 is used for displaying water information. The light-transmitting structure 31 is correspondingly arranged with the sensing component 21 and the display component 22.

[0027] The display component 22 includes a digital display screen 222, which is disposed on the upper side of the sensing component 21. In this solution, the display component 22 displays water temperature and water quality information through light color, while water flow information is displayed digitally.

[0028] Specifically, the digital display screen 222 includes a water temperature display area 2221, a water quality display area 2222, and a flow rate display area 2223. Both the water temperature display area 2221 and the water quality display area 2222 are located on one side of the flow rate display area 2223. The water temperature display area 2221 is positioned above the water quality display area 2222. The water temperature display area 2221 is shaped like the letter "℃", and the water quality display area 2222 is shaped like a teardrop. The display mode of the digital display screen 222 in this solution is as follows: when the water temperature is high, the water temperature display area 2221 displays orange; when the water temperature is low, the water temperature display area 2221 displays blue; when the water quality is good, the water quality display area 2222 displays green; and when the water quality is poor, the water quality display area 2222 displays red.

[0029] The integrated structure 2 also includes a PC board 23. The sensing component 21 and the display component 22 are mounted on the PC board 23. The sensing component 21 includes a transmitter 211, a sensor 212, and a sensor indicator light 213. The sensor indicator light 213 is positioned between the transmitter 211 and the sensor 212. In this solution, the transmitter 211 emits infrared light, and the sensor 212 turns the faucet on or off by sensing whether the infrared light is blocked, thus achieving contactless control.

[0030] The light-transmitting structure 31 includes a first through-hole 311, a second through-hole 312, a first sensing indication hole 313, and a light-transmitting hole 314. The first through-hole 311 corresponds to the transmitter 211, the second through-hole 312 corresponds to the sensor 212, the first sensing indication hole 313 corresponds to the sensing indication light 213, and the light-transmitting hole 314 corresponds to the digital display screen 222. In this design, the light-transmitting hole 314 prevents information from scattering from all sides of the digital display screen 222; instead, it concentrates the information transmission through the light-transmitting hole 314, resulting in clearer information transmission.

[0031] A sensing window 41 protrudes outward from the housing 4, and the sensing window 41 is made of transparent material. The sensing window 41 in this solution makes the information on the digital display screen 222 visible, thereby realizing information display.

[0032] The sensing component 21 is arranged horizontally.

[0033] Compared with existing technologies, this invention organically integrates the sensing module and display module into one unit through a highly integrated structural design, achieving a compact component layout and intensive functional configuration. This integrated solution can efficiently realize both sensing and display functions within a more limited volume, significantly reducing the space occupied on the surface of the sensing faucet 6. Furthermore, the limitations on the overall structure and form design of the sensing faucet 6 are greatly reduced, thus providing more possibilities for product design innovation and functional expansion.

[0034] Example 2:

[0035] See Figures 3 to 4 This embodiment is an improvement on the first embodiment. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is in the composition of the display component 22 and the setting of the diffuser film 5.

[0036] The display component 22 includes a plurality of LED beads 221, which are divided into two groups and respectively disposed on the upper and lower sides of the sensing component 21. In this design, the display component 22 displays water temperature and water quality information through light color. The display method is as follows: when the water temperature is high, the upper LED beads 221 display orange; when the water temperature is low, the upper LED beads 221 display blue; when the water quality is good, the lower LED beads 221 display green; when the water quality is poor, the lower LED beads 221 display red.

[0037] The light-transmitting hole 314 is correspondingly provided with the LED bead 221. In this design, the light-transmitting hole 314 concentrates the light from the LED bead 221, preventing it from scattering from all sides and weakening the displayed light information.

[0038] It also includes a diffuser film 5, which is disposed between the light-shielding member 3 and the housing 4. The diffuser film 5 is provided with a diffuser sleeve 51, which corresponds to the light-transmitting hole 314. The diffuser film 5 in this solution is used in a lighting display scheme. It uses a diffuser material to scatter the scattered light spots of the LED beads 221 into uniform bright light, making the lighting display more obvious and clear.

[0039] The diffuser sleeve 51 includes a first diffuser sleeve 511 and a second diffuser sleeve 512. The first diffuser sleeve 511 corresponds to the LED bead 221 disposed on the upper side of the sensing component 21, and the second diffuser sleeve 512 corresponds to the LED bead 221 disposed on the lower side of the sensing component 21. Specifically, the first diffuser sleeve 511 is shaped like the Chinese character "℃", and the second diffuser sleeve 512 is shaped like a teardrop.

[0040] The diffuser film 5 is provided with a third through hole 52, a fourth through hole 53 and a second sensing prompt hole 54. The third through hole 52 corresponds to the first through hole 311, the fourth through hole 53 corresponds to the second through hole 312, and the second sensing prompt hole 54 corresponds to the first sensing prompt hole 313.

[0041] The light-shielding member 3 has a protruding limiting part 32 on its front edge, and the limiting part 32 and its front sidewall form a first mounting position 33, on which the diffuser film 5 is disposed. In this solution, the limiting part 32 restricts the position of the diffuser film 5 to prevent it from falling off from all sides.

[0042] The sensing component 21 is arranged vertically.

[0043] Compared with Example 1, this solution requires less faucet surface area, and the strip design is more in line with the faucet design, resulting in a more unified overall visual appearance.

[0044] Example 3:

[0045] See Figures 5 to 6 This embodiment discloses a sensor faucet 6, including a body 61, a faucet 62, a water inlet / outlet assembly 63, and a control box 64. The faucet 62 is disposed on the upper side of the body 61. The body 61 is connected to the control box 64 through the water inlet / outlet assembly 63. The body 61 is provided with a mounting hole 611. The infrared sensor 1 described in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2 is disposed on the mounting hole 611 through a sensing window 41 and is electrically connected to the control box 64. Compared with the prior art, the sensor faucet 6 of this utility model has a more compact and efficient component layout due to the application of the above-mentioned solution. The integrated structure 2 occupies less surface space of the sensor faucet 6, and the structural and morphological design of the sensor faucet 6 can be more flexible.

[0046] Based on the disclosure and teachings of the above specification, those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and some modifications and changes to this utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model. Furthermore, although some specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are only for convenience of explanation and do not constitute any limitation on this utility model.
