Detailed Implementation

[0042] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0043] To address the problems of difficulty in obtaining water and easy water spillage when the ambient light is dim, this utility model provides a water outlet device for a water purifier. By incorporating a light-emitting component, the device illuminates the area where the water outlet of the water purifier's water pipe is located, thereby providing sufficient light for users to obtain water and preventing problems such as difficulty in obtaining water and easy water spillage.

[0044] In addition, the infrared component can detect in real time whether there is an object (such as a water cup) approaching below the water outlet. When an object is detected, a signal is sent to the control component, triggering the light-emitting component to automatically light up, providing users with precise lighting effects. This design not only enhances the intelligence level of the user experience but also avoids the inconvenience of traditional manual control or fixed on / off methods.

[0045] Furthermore, based on ultrasonic components, when water in an object (such as a water glass) is about to overflow, the light-emitting component can be triggered to remind the user that the water is about to overflow, thereby further optimizing the user experience.

[0046] For example, you can refer to Figures 1-2 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the water outlet device of a water purifier according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown; Figure 2 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the AAˋ section.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, the water outlet device of the water purifier may include:

[0048] The water outlet assembly 3 is arranged around the water outlet of the water purifier's water outlet pipe;

[0049] The light-transmitting component 4 is fixedly connected to the water outlet component 3, and the light-transmitting component 4 and the water outlet component 3 are spliced ​​together to form at least one sealed receiving cavity; the light-transmitting component 4 is made of transparent material.

[0050] Infrared component 5 is used to detect whether there are objects in the area where the water outlet of the water pipe is located;

[0051] Ultrasonic component 6 is used to detect the first height information of the object and the second height information of the water level in the object;

[0052] The light-emitting component 7 is disposed within at least one sealed receiving cavity; the light-emitting component 7 is used to illuminate the light source.

[0053] The area where the water pipe outlet is located;

[0054] The control component is electrically connected to the infrared component 5, the ultrasonic component 6, and the light-emitting component 7; the control component is used to control the light-emitting component 7 based on the information output by the infrared component 5 and the first height information and the second height information.

[0055] In this embodiment of the utility model, the water outlet device can be set at the water outlet of the water purifier; specifically, the water outlet device can be set in the display shell 15 of the water purifier; the water outlet device may include a water outlet assembly 3, a light-transmitting assembly 4, a light-emitting assembly 7, an infrared assembly 5, an ultrasonic assembly 6, and a control assembly.

[0056] The water outlet assembly 3 can be set around the water outlet of the water purifier's water outlet pipe and connected to the water outlet. The water output to the user can be output through the water outlet assembly 3.

[0057] The light-transmitting component 4 can be fixedly connected to the water outlet component 3, and after the light-transmitting component 4 and the water outlet component 3 are spliced ​​together, at least one receiving cavity for accommodating the light-emitting component 7 can be formed. The receiving cavity can be sealed to prevent moisture from entering the receiving cavity and causing the light-emitting component 7 to become damp and damaged.

[0058] To ensure that the light beam emitted by the light-emitting component 7 can illuminate the area where the water outlet is located, the light-transmitting component 4 can be made of transparent material, such as polyethylene terephthalate, high-density polyethylene, polypropylene, etc. This embodiment of the utility model does not limit this.

[0059] In practical applications, the light-transmitting component 4 can be set on the side of the light-emitting component 7 near the water outlet area (i.e., the area where the user takes water and places the water cup) to ensure that the light beam emitted by the light-emitting component 7 towards the water outlet area can pass through the light-transmitting component 4 and illuminate the water outlet area of ​​the water purifier's water outlet pipe, providing sufficient light for the user to take water and avoiding problems such as difficulty in taking water and easy water spillage.

[0060] For example, the light-emitting component 7 can be a ring of light strips; the light-emitting component 7 can be an LED (Light Emitting Diode) light strip to form a soft ring of light and avoid the light spot problem common in traditional LED lighting.

[0061] In some feasible embodiments, the water outlet device may also include an infrared component 5, an ultrasonic component 6, and a control component.

[0062] The control component can be electrically connected to the infrared component 5, the ultrasonic component 6, and the light-emitting component 7, respectively. The infrared component 5 can be used to emit an infrared beam towards the area where the water outlet of the water pipe is located, in order to detect...

[0063] To check if there is an object (e.g., a water glass) in the area.

[0064] The ultrasonic component 6 can be used to emit ultrasonic waves into the area where the water outlet of the water pipe is located to detect the height of objects in that area and the water level in those objects.

[0065] For example, after detecting whether there is an object in the area where the water outlet of the water pipe is located, the infrared component 5 can output corresponding signal information to the control component; the signal information can be used by the control component to determine whether there is an object in the area where the water outlet of the water pipe is located.

[0066] Upon receiving the signal information, the control component can control the light-emitting component 7 based on the signal information; for example, if the signal information determines that there is an object in the area, the light-emitting component 7 can be controlled to light up. If the signal information determines that there is no object in the area, the light-emitting component 7 can be controlled to remain in the sleep state.

[0067] Additionally, the ultrasonic component 6 can be used to detect a first height of the object and a second height of the water level within the object. After generating the first and second height information, the ultrasonic component 6 can send it to the control component.

[0068] After receiving the first height information and the second height information, the control component can determine whether the water in the object is about to overflow based on the first height information and the second height information.

[0069] For example, the height of an object can be determined based on a first height information, and the height of the water in the object can be determined based on a second height information. Then, the difference between the two heights can be calculated, and the difference can be used to determine whether the water in the object is about to overflow. If the difference is less than a preset value, it can be determined that the water in the object is about to overflow; at this time, the light-emitting component 7 can be controlled to flash to remind the user that the water is about to overflow.

[0070] In some feasible embodiments, the control component may also control the light-emitting component 7 to light up when it detects that the user is performing a water-taking operation.

[0071] In this embodiment of the invention, the water outlet device of the water purifier includes: a water outlet assembly 3, which is arranged around the water outlet of the water outlet pipe of the water purifier; a light-transmitting assembly 4, which is fixedly connected to the water outlet assembly 3, and the light-transmitting assembly 4 and the water outlet assembly 3 are spliced ​​together to form at least one sealed receiving cavity; the light-transmitting assembly 4 is made of transparent material; an infrared assembly 5, which is used to detect whether there is an object in the area where the water outlet of the water outlet pipe is located; an ultrasonic assembly 6, which is used to detect the first height information of the object and the second height information of the water level in the object; a light-emitting assembly 7, which is disposed in at least one sealed receiving cavity; the light-emitting assembly 7 is used to illuminate the area where the water outlet of the water outlet pipe is located; and a control assembly, which is electrically connected to the infrared assembly 5, the ultrasonic assembly 6 and the light-emitting assembly 7; the control assembly is used to control the light-emitting assembly 7 according to the information output by the infrared assembly 5 and the first height information and the second height information. Through this embodiment of the invention, by setting the light-emitting assembly 7, the area where the water outlet of the water outlet pipe of the water purifier is located can be illuminated, thereby providing sufficient light for users to take water and avoiding problems such as difficulty in taking water and easy water spillage.

[0072] In addition, the use of infrared component 5 and ultrasonic component 6 can improve the user experience of the water purifier.

[0073] In some embodiments of this utility model, the water outlet device may further include:

[0074] A sealing component 8 is disposed between the water outlet component 3 and the light-emitting component 7, and / or between the light-transmitting component 4 and the light-emitting component 7.

[0082] In addition, the second sealing ring 10 can be placed between the light-transmitting component 4 and the light-emitting component 7 to fill the gap between the light-transmitting component 4 and the light-emitting component 7 and prevent moisture from entering.

[0084] In some embodiments of this utility model, the surface of the light-transmitting component 4 is granular or textured.

[0085] In some feasible embodiments, in order to make the light beam emitted by the light-emitting component 7 diffuse evenly and form soft light, the surface of the light-transmitting component 4 can be granular or textured, so that the light undergoes diffuse reflection when passing through the light-transmitting component 4, thereby achieving a softer and more uniform lighting effect, improving the user experience and the aesthetics of the device.

[0086] For example, the surface of the light-transmitting component 4 may be treated with processes such as atomization, thereby forming tiny particles or textures on the surface of the light-transmitting component 4.

Compared with the traditional PCB (Printed Circuit Board) LED structure, the light-emitting component 7 used in this invention adopts a flexible substrate, which can adapt to complex or irregular installation environments, facilitates fitting the shape of the water outlet, and improves design flexibility.

[0089] Furthermore, the light-emitting component 7 can be fixed with adhesive or clips, eliminating the need for complicated soldering or wiring operations, simplifying the installation process and facilitating maintenance and replacement.

[0090] In addition, the light-emitting component 7 has a compact structure and strong shock resistance, and can work stably in humid (making it easier to tightly integrate with other components, thus facilitating effective sealing) or vibrating environments, making it suitable for the use of water purifiers.

[0117] In some embodiments of this utility model, a water purifier is also provided, which may include the water outlet device mentioned in any of the above embodiments.

[0118] In some feasible embodiments, the water outlet device can be located at the water outlet of the water purifier; specifically, the water outlet device can be located on the display casing 15 of the water purifier.

[0119] The water outlet device may include a water outlet assembly 3, a light-transmitting assembly 4, a light-emitting assembly 7, an infrared assembly 5, an ultrasonic assembly 6, and a control assembly.

[0120] The water outlet assembly 3 can be arranged around the water outlet of the water purifier's water outlet pipe and connected to the water outlet. Water supplied to the user can be output through the water outlet assembly 3. The water outlet assembly 3 can partially extend from the contents of the display housing 15 to the outside of the display housing 15 to provide water output from the water purifier to the user.

[0121] The light-transmitting component 4 can be fixedly connected to the water outlet component 3, and after the light-transmitting component 4 and the water outlet component 3 are spliced ​​together, at least one receiving cavity for accommodating the light-emitting component 7 can be formed. The receiving cavity can be sealed to prevent moisture from entering the receiving cavity and causing the light-emitting component 7 to become damp and damaged.

[0122] To ensure that the light beam emitted by the light-emitting component 7 can illuminate the area where the water outlet is located, the light-transmitting component 4 can be made of transparent material.

[0123] In practical applications, the light-transmitting component 4 can be set on the side of the light-emitting component 7 near the water outlet area (i.e., the area where the user takes water and places the water cup) to ensure that the light beam emitted by the light-emitting component 7 towards the water outlet area can pass through the light-transmitting component 4 and illuminate the water outlet area of ​​the water purifier's water outlet pipe, providing sufficient light for the user to take water and avoiding problems such as difficulty in taking water and easy water spillage.

[0124] For example, the light-emitting component 7 can be a ring of light strips; the light-emitting component 7 can be an LED (Light Emitting Diode) light strip to form a soft ring of light and avoid the light spot problem common in traditional LED lighting.

[0125] In some feasible embodiments, the water outlet device may also include an infrared component 5, an ultrasonic component 6, and a control component.

[0126] The control component can be electrically connected to the infrared component 5, the ultrasonic component 6, and the light-emitting component 7, respectively. The infrared component 5 can be used to emit an infrared beam towards the area where the water outlet of the water pipe is located to detect whether there is an object (e.g., a water cup) in that area.

[0127] The ultrasonic component 6 can be used to emit ultrasonic waves toward the area where the water outlet of the water pipe is located to detect the height of objects in that area and the height of the water level in those objects. Exemplarily, the ultrasonic component 6 may include at least a first ultrasonic ranging sensor 16 and a second ultrasonic ranging sensor 17. The first ultrasonic ranging sensor 16 can be used to detect the height of the object, and the second ultrasonic ranging sensor 17 can be used to detect the height of the water level in the object. The first ultrasonic ranging sensor 16 and the second ultrasonic ranging sensor 17 can be respectively disposed on the outer surface of the display housing 15 and emit ultrasonic waves toward the area of ​​the water outlet.

[0128] For example, the infrared component 5 can output corresponding signal information to the control component after detecting whether there is an object in the area where the water outlet of the water pipe is located; this signal information can be used by the control component to determine whether there is an object in the area where the water outlet of the water pipe is located. The infrared component 5 can be disposed on the outer surface of the display housing 15 and emit infrared rays toward the area of ​​the water outlet.

[0129] Upon receiving the signal information, the control component can control the light-emitting component 7 based on the signal information; for example, if the signal information determines that there is an object in the area, the light-emitting component 7 can be controlled to light up. If the signal information determines that there is no object in the area, the light-emitting component 7 can be controlled to remain in the sleep state.

[0130] Additionally, the ultrasonic component 6 can be used to detect a first height of the object and a second height of the water level within the object. After generating the first and second height information, the ultrasonic component 6 can send it to the control component.

[0131] After receiving the first height information and the second height information, the control component can determine whether the water in the object is about to overflow based on the first height information and the second height information.

[0132] For example, the height of an object can be determined based on a first height information, and the height of the water in the object can be determined based on a second height information. Then, the difference between the two heights can be calculated, and the difference can be used to determine whether the water in the object is about to overflow. If the difference is less than a preset value, it can be determined that the water in the object is about to overflow; at this time, the light-emitting component 7 can be controlled to flash to remind the user that the water is about to overflow.

[0133] In some feasible embodiments, the control component may also control the light-emitting component 7 to light up when it detects that the user is performing a water-taking operation.

[0134] In some feasible embodiments, the water outlet assembly 3 may consist of an outlet unit 11 and a connecting unit 12; wherein, the outlet unit 11 may be a hollow columnar structure, one end of the outlet unit 11 may be connected to the outlet of the water pipe, and the other end of the outlet unit 11 may face the area where the outlet of the water pipe is located, so as to provide water output from the water pipe to the user. The outlet unit 11 may extend from the inside of the display housing 15 to the outside of the display housing 15.

[0135] The connecting unit 12 can extend outward along one side opening of the outlet unit 11; this side opening can be the opening on the side where the outlet unit 11 connects to the outlet of the water pipe. The connecting unit 12 can be disposed inside the display housing 15.

[0136] The light-transmitting component 4 can be fitted onto the outlet unit 11; and the light-transmitting component 4 can be spliced ​​together with the outlet unit 11 and the connecting unit 12 to form at least one sealed receiving cavity for accommodating the light-emitting component 7.

[0137] In some feasible embodiments, the light-emitting component 7 may consist of a flexible substrate and a light strip disposed on the flexible substrate. The flexible substrate may be disposed in a receiving cavity formed by splicing together the light-transmitting component 4, the outlet unit 11 and the connecting unit 12.

[0138] For example, a limiting groove may be provided on the connecting unit 12 for fixing the flexible substrate, but this embodiment of the present invention does not limit this.

[0139] In some feasible embodiments, to prevent moisture from entering the receiving cavity and protect the light-emitting component 7 from the influence of a humid environment, the outlet device may further include a sealing component 8, which may be disposed between the inner ring of the light-transmitting component 4 and the water outlet component 3. The light-transmitting component 4 may be annular, and the annular light-transmitting component 4 may be fitted onto the outlet unit 11; the inner ring of the light-transmitting component 4 may be located on the side closest to the outlet unit 11.

[0140] In other feasible embodiments, the sealing component 8 may also be disposed between the outer ring of the light-transmitting component 4 and the water outlet component 3. The outer ring of the light-transmitting component 4 may be located on the side furthest from the outlet unit 11.

[0141] In some other feasible embodiments, the sealing component 8 may also include multiple components, with some sealing components 8 disposed between the inner ring of the light-transmitting component 4 and the water outlet component 3, and other sealing components 8 disposed between the outer ring of the light-transmitting component 4 and the water outlet component 3.

[0142] In some feasible embodiments, the sealing component 8 may include at least a first sealing ring 9 and a second sealing ring 10; wherein, the first sealing ring 9 may be disposed between the inner ring of the light-transmitting component 4 and the water outlet component 3 to fill the gap between the inner ring of the light-transmitting component 4 and the water outlet component 3 and prevent water vapor from entering.

[0143] In addition, the second sealing ring 10 can be set between the outer ring of the light-transmitting component 4 and the water outlet component 3 to fill the gap between the outer ring of the light-transmitting component 4 and the water outlet component 3 and prevent water vapor from entering.
