Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent control system technology, and more specifically, to an intelligent centralized control system for integrated control and linkage of multiple devices. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of technology and intelligence, more and more smart devices are being widely used in modern kitchens and bathrooms, such as food waste disposers, instant water heaters, and dishwashers. While these devices bring convenience to users, they also cause numerous problems. For example, the arrangement and storage of various switches and remote controls appear cluttered, affecting the overall aesthetics and user experience. Furthermore, some devices have subordinate working relationships, requiring operation and switching according to specific sequences or time points. Existing control methods often fail to achieve efficient and centralized management, leading to cumbersome operation and a high risk of errors. This fragmented device management model not only increases the user's operational burden but may also lead to energy waste or equipment damage.

[0003] While some devices in the current technology possess certain intelligent functions, their control logic is usually independent, lacking a unified integrated control scheme. For example, water circuit opening and closing devices, electromagnetic water valves, and faucets typically require individual operation and cannot be linked with other devices. Furthermore, existing control systems have limited capabilities in signal acquisition, transmission, and processing, making it difficult to meet the coordination needs of multiple devices in complex scenarios. In addition, traditional control methods lack the ability to monitor and provide feedback on device status in real time, failing to dynamically adjust operating modes according to actual usage, thus limiting the system's flexibility and security.

[0004] Therefore, how to design an intelligent system that can achieve centralized control of multiple devices and support coordinated operation has become an urgent technical challenge. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0021] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides an intelligent centralized control system for integrated control and linkage of multiple devices, including: an intelligent control module 1, an electromagnetic water valve 3, an input signal acquisition unit 2, a faucet device 4 installed on a water tank, and several electronically controlled / intelligent sub-devices that can be opened and closed according to input signals; the input signal acquisition unit 2 is adapted to be triggered to control the opening and closing of the electromagnetic water valve 3 and the electronically controlled / intelligent sub-devices in linkage with the intelligent control module 1.

[0022] In this embodiment, the electronically controlled / intelligent sub-device can be a food waste disposer 5, a water heater 6, or a dishwasher, a disinfection cabinet, etc.

[0023] Taking the food waste disposer 5 and the water heater 6 as examples; wherein, the water outlet channel of the water heater 6 is connected to the faucet device 4 through the electromagnetic water valve 3, and the food waste disposer 5 is located below the water outlet of the sink; the input signal acquisition unit 2 is adapted to be triggered to control the opening and closing of one or more of the electromagnetic water valve 3, the food waste disposer 5 and the water heater 6 through the intelligent control module 1.

[0024] In this embodiment, the food waste disposer 5 is located below the sink, and the faucet device 4 is located above the sink. The water heater 6 can be located below the sink or in other positions as needed. The inlet of the faucet device 4 is connected to the outlet channel 33 of the electromagnetic water valve. The inlet channel 32 of the electromagnetic water valve has a channel connecting to the municipal water source and an inlet channel connecting to the water heater 6. The water heater 6 is connected to the municipal water supply pipe 63. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the inlet of the electromagnetic water valve 3 can be connected only to the hot water output pipe 62 of the water heater 6, or only to the municipal water supply pipe. The water heater 6 in this embodiment can be an instant water heater 6 or a storage water heater 6. An instant water heater 6 is preferred, as it can heat water in real time when needed, reducing the waste of electrical energy.

[0025] In this embodiment, the intelligent control module 1 can be electrically connected to the electromagnetic water valve 3, the input signal acquisition unit 2, the food waste disposer 5, and the water heater 6 via wired or wireless connection. The intelligent control module 1 is an existing intelligent control module with data processing capabilities, equipped with a power input line 11 to connect to a 220V AC mains input port. The intelligent control module 1 also has several sets of high / low voltage output ports 13. These high / low voltage output ports 13 are sequentially named V1, V2, V3… in the intelligent centralized control system. The intelligent centralized control system has a set of signal exchange ports 12, which are connected to the input signal acquisition unit 2 via wired or wireless connection. These wireless or wired ports are sequentially named X1, X2, X3, X4, X5… in the intelligent centralized control system. The intelligent control module 1 also has a timing function module. The intelligent control module 1 can send start / stop commands to the devices via the communication port and identify the status feedback uploaded by the devices. It can also directly power on or shut down the sub-devices via the power output port.

[0026] For example, when the intelligent control module 1 is connected to the electromagnetic water valve 3, water heater 6, or food waste disposer 5 via a wired connection, the connection can be directly achieved using the signal transmission line. For instance, the input signal acquisition unit 2 can use a touch sensor connected to the signal connection port S1 of the intelligent control module 1 via the first signal transmission line 21, and control can be achieved by triggering the touch sensor. The electromagnetic water valve 3 is connected to the intelligent control module 1 via the second signal transmission line 31. The intelligent centralized control system signal exchange port X4 is connected to the food waste disposer 5 via the third signal transmission line 51. They can send on / off commands or feedback on the current device status via preset codes. When the user starts the device using the built-in switch of the food waste disposer 5, the food waste disposer 5 immediately uploads its working status to the intelligent centralized control system, which then activates the electromagnetic water valve 3 to supply water according to a preset program. The intelligent centralized control system signal exchange port X5 is connected to the instantaneous water heater 6 via the fourth signal transmission line 61. They can send on / off commands or feedback on the current device status via preset codes.

[0027] When using wireless control, Bluetooth, infrared, WIFI and other wireless signals can be used for connection. For example, a remote control device can be wirelessly connected to the intelligent control module 1. The placement of the remote control device is not limited by the length of the signal cable or the installation location. With the intelligent control module 1, which uses any programmable control components such as MCU, but not limited to MCU, customized function configurations can be achieved according to user habits, truly realizing one-click control of all devices.

[0028] Taking the input signal acquisition unit 2 as an example, which is a touch capacitive sensor, an infrared sensor, or any other photoelectric / physical touch sensing device capable of recognizing signal changes, the input signal acquisition unit 2 is located on the side of the faucet body or in another easily operable but less prone to accidental touch. Specifically, the touch sensing device can be an infrared sensor installed on the faucet, and the intelligent control module 1 is adapted to control the opening and closing and linkage of one or more of the electromagnetic water valve 3, the food waste disposer 5, and the water heater 6 according to different touch signals detected by the touch sensing device. The intelligent centralized control system pre-names the information fed back by the input signal acquisition unit 2 according to the touch sensing duration and assigns different working commands according to different names:

[0029] Determine that the induction duration of 150 - 1500 ms is a short press, named A1. First, detect the working state. If any one or more devices are in the on state, execute the full - close command. If not, open the electromagnetic water valve 3 alone. At this time, the user can perform normal water - using operations. To prevent the user from leaving or forgetting to close the operation, the intelligent centralized control system sets a limit value for the separate opening and closing duration of the electromagnetic water valve 3. When the limit value is reached and there is no operation input, the electromagnetic water valve 3 will be closed. Usually, this limit value is about 2.0 min based on the water tank volume of 40 L.

[0030] Determine that the induction duration of 1.51 - 3.0 s is a long press, named A2. Execute the opening of the electromagnetic water valve 3 and then delay for 1 s to start the operation of the kitchen waste processor 5.

[0031] Determine that the induction duration of two consecutive short presses A1 is named A3; execute the opening of the instant - heating water heater 6 for 2 s and then open the electromagnetic water valve 3.

[0032] Determine that the induction duration of one short press A1 plus one long press A2 is named A4; execute the operation of the instant - heating water heater 6 for 2 min and then force it to shut down.

[0033] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the intelligent control module 1 can achieve the functions of one - key start / stop or timed start / stop for sub - devices such as the electromagnetic water valve 3, kitchen waste processor 5, and water heater 6 connected to it. It can also achieve multi - machine linkage through the intelligent control module 1 to work in an orderly manner as required. For sub - devices directly powered by the system through the voltage output port connection, the intelligent control module 1 can monitor the working current in real - time. When the current fluctuation exceeds the preset maximum limit value, the power supply will be automatically cut off to ensure the safety of the device itself and the surrounding environment. In the preferred embodiment, all sub - devices have two - way communication functions and can actively feedback the working state or upload working instructions to the intelligent control module 1, and the intelligent control module 1 can mobilize other sub - devices to start / stop working synchronously or in sequence.

[0034] In other embodiments, the intelligent control module 1 can also be connected to devices including but not limited to multi - path electric - controlled opening and closing water - way devices, dishwashers, small disinfection cabinets, etc., and establish connections with the reserved ports of the intelligent control module 1 as needed. Through this solution, the functions of linkage and one - key control of multiple kitchen devices can be achieved, improving the user experience.

All technical solutions within the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. <00,00080>The accompanying drawings used in the above description of the embodiments only show some embodiments of the present invention and should not be regarded as a limitation of the scope.
