[0029] Example The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments: like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment provides a touch-sensitive water purifier, including a body 1, the body 1 having at least one water inlet (not shown) and one water outlet 2, a placing platform 4 located below the water outlet 2, the body 1 having a water tank (not shown) and a main control system inside, as well as a water heating drive module and a water filtration drive module connected to the water tank and the water outlet through pipelines; it also includes a touch-sensitive module 3 located above the water outlet.

[0030] The main control system is adapted to connect the water filtration drive module and the water heating drive module; The air-touch module 3 is communicatively connected to the main control system and is used to detect user interaction actions and generate control signals to send to the main control system.

[0031] The main control system is adapted and connected to the water heating drive module and the water filtration drive module respectively, and is used to receive signals sent by the air touch module 3 and control the operation of the water heating drive module and the water filtration drive module respectively.

[0032] Furthermore, in this embodiment, air touch control projects the operation interface of the display screen into the air, and the hand directly touches the interface projected in the air. The touch action and position or gesture of the two-dimensional plane is recognized by scanning with an infrared laser sensor.

[0033] The air-touch control module 3 includes an imaging module, a detection module 32, and a control module 33.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the imaging module is adapted and connected to the detection module 32 and the control module 33, respectively. The imaging module consists of an optical element 311, a mounting bracket 312, and a display 313. The optical element 311, composed of a flat lens, is the core optical element. It uses its negative refractive index to refract the light emitted from the display 313 and project it into the air to form a floating real image 314. The mounting bracket 312 is used to fix the flat lens and ensure precise alignment between it and the display 313 to achieve a high-quality floating imaging effect. The display 313 is located on one side of the flat lens and is used to output the content to be displayed, such as temperature adjustment options and filter mode selection. After optical processing by the flat lens, this content forms a clear and stable floating real image 314 on the other side, allowing the user to observe and interact with it intuitively.

[0035] The detection module 32 is adapted and connected to the control module 33, and is used to capture the user's interactive actions on the floating image 314 and transmit the interactive signals to the control module. The detection module 32 consists of an infrared sensor and / or a camera, arranged in the peripheral area of ​​the flat lens to cover the spatial range where the floating image 314 is located. The infrared sensor is responsible for capturing the thermal signal changes of the user's hand gestures, while the camera is used to improve the accuracy of gesture recognition. The detection module 32 collects the user's hand movements and other interactive signals in real time, converts them into digital signals, and transmits them to the control module 33.

[0036] The control module 33 includes a signal processor, which receives digital signals and determines the user's intent, such as whether the heating function or the filtration mode has been selected. Then, it generates corresponding function control commands, such as starting the water heating drive module or adjusting the water temperature, and sends the control commands to the main control system through the data interface.

[0037] The main control system receives function control commands from the control module 33 and coordinates the operation of the water filtration drive module and the water heating drive module. The water filtration drive module is responsible for controlling the multi-stage filtration process in the water purification process to ensure that the water quality meets drinking standards; the water heating drive module adjusts the outlet water temperature according to user needs and supports multiple modes such as cold water, warm water, and hot water.

[0038] In practical applications, when a user stands in front of the water purifier, the floating image 314 displays the currently available function options, such as "hot water," "warm water," "cold water," and "filtration mode." When the user makes a specific gesture with their hand in the area of ​​the floating image 314, the infrared sensor and camera in the detection module 32 work together to capture the hand movement in real time and transmit the signal to the control module 33. The signal processor of the control module 33 receives the gesture signal, analyzes it, and determines the function selected by the user. For example, if the user points to the "hot water" option, the signal processor will generate the corresponding heating command. After receiving the heating command, the main control system immediately activates the water heating drive module, starts heating the water in the water tank, and displays the current water temperature status until the set value is reached.

[0039] To further illustrate the technical advantages of this invention, the following description uses a hospital setting as an example. In hospital waiting areas, traditional water purifiers are prone to bacterial and viral growth due to frequent contact with the control panel by multiple people, posing a risk of cross-infection. This invention completely solves this problem by introducing air-touch technology. Patients or their families only need to stand in front of the water purifier and complete the water dispensing operation through the floating real image 314, without directly touching any physical buttons or screen. Furthermore, the design of the floating real image 314 not only enhances the technological feel of the device but also provides users with a more convenient and modern user experience. The detection module 32 uses an infrared sensor and / or camera design, significantly improving the accuracy and response speed of touch action or gesture recognition, enabling users to complete interactive operations in a short time and ensuring efficient operation even in high-traffic areas.

[0040] The overall structure of this utility model is compact and reasonable, facilitating production and maintenance. The flat panel lens, as the core component of the imaging module, is mounted on a mounting bracket 312, which provides stable support for the flat panel lens and other related components. The detection module 32 is installed near the flat panel lens to ensure complete coverage of the area where the floating real image 314 is located, avoiding blind spots that could affect the user experience. The control module 33 connects the detection module 32 and the main control system, handling interactive signals and generating control commands. The display 313 is placed on one side of the flat panel lens, outputting the image or information to be projected into the air. All components are connected via standardized interfaces, simplifying the assembly process.

[0041] Of particular note is that the technical solution of this utility model has several innovative aspects. First, by introducing an equivalent negative refractive index optical element, namely a flat lens, the aerial projection of the floating real image 314 is achieved, avoiding the problem of physical contact required by traditional touch screens. Second, the detection module 32 adopts an infrared sensor and / or camera design, which not only improves the accuracy of touch action or gesture recognition but also enhances the robustness of the system. Finally, the control module 33 ensures rapid parsing of interactive signals and command transmission through a signal processor.

[0042] In summary, this invention solves the cross-contamination problem of existing water purifiers by applying air-touch control technology, while also enhancing the technological feel and user experience of the equipment. The imaging module features a unique design, with the detection and control modules working collaboratively. This invention is suitable for public places such as hospitals, airports, schools, bullet trains, and high-speed rail stations, providing users with a safe, convenient, and modern drinking water solution, and has broad application prospects and technological value.

[0043] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
