Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water tap technology, specifically to a user-authenticated, unlocked outdoor water tap for water quality assurance. Background Technology

[0002] Water taps, as important water supply devices, provide convenient water resources for urban sanitation and fire protection systems. Currently, to obtain water using water taps, one typically uses a wrench to directly open the valve. Due to the lack of dedicated protective measures, water taps are easily subject to water theft, and employing dedicated guards is too costly. Water stagnates in infrequently used taps, especially during intermittent water extraction, leading to the proliferation of microorganisms (bacteria, algae) and contamination of the tap's internal environment.

[0003] Therefore, existing technologies need to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a user-authenticated unlocking type outdoor water tap that ensures water quality, in order to solve the problems of existing water taps being easily stolen, having high management costs, and being easily polluted by the internal water.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model provides a user-authenticated, unlockable outdoor water tap for water quality protection, comprising a tap body, wherein the tap body is equipped with an authentication module and an unlocking module.

[0007] The water tap body includes a water tapping rod switch and a protective sleeve surrounding the water tapping rod switch, with a baffle plate provided on the top of the protective sleeve.

[0008] The unlocking module includes a lock cap that abuts against the baffle, the lock cap having a through hole for inserting the water-drawing rod switch. The unlocking module also includes an unlocking motor, the shaft of which is connected to a locking device located at the bottom of the lock cap.

[0009] The authentication module includes an intelligent identification device and a battery that are electrically connected to each other, and the intelligent identification device is controlled and connected to the unlocking motor.

[0010] Furthermore, in this utility model, a spring is provided on the top of the water tap body, and the top of the spring is connected to the lock cap.

[0011] Furthermore, in this utility model, the side wall of the aforementioned sheath is provided with a through groove, and the clip is configured in a Y shape.

[0012] Furthermore, in this invention, the aforementioned card is configured in an L-shape.

[0013] Furthermore, in this utility model, the shaft of the unlocking motor is connected to a drive gear, the drive gear is connected to a rack, the locking piece is sleeved on the rack, and the lock cap is provided with a slot corresponding to the locking piece.

[0014] Furthermore, in this utility model, the water tap body described above is provided with a driven gear that restricts the rack.

[0015] Furthermore, in this utility model, the above also includes a water quality protection mechanism for draining residual water from the water tap body. The water quality protection mechanism includes a U-shaped drain pipe connected to the water tap body. The inner wall of the inlet of the U-shaped drain pipe is provided with a sealing ring and a semi-circular plate. The two semi-circular plates are hinged to each other, and the bottom of the two semi-circular plates is provided with a support column for adjusting the opening degree.

[0016] Furthermore, in this utility model, a steel ring is provided on the inner wall of the inlet of the U-shaped drain pipe, the sealing ring is connected to the bottom of the steel ring, and a valve is provided inside the U-shaped drain pipe.

[0017] Furthermore, in this utility model, the sidewalls of the two semicircular plates that are close to each other are provided with sealing strips, the outlet of the U-shaped drain pipe is provided with an insect-proof net, and the interior of the water tap body is provided with a disinfection ultraviolet lamp plate.

[0018] Furthermore, in this invention, the authentication module described above also includes a solar panel, which is electrically connected to the battery.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0020] By setting up a linked structure between the authentication and unlocking modules, only authorized users can complete identity authentication through RFID card recognition, password input, or QR code login. Only after successful authentication will the unlocking motor drive the card to unlock the lock cap, preventing unauthorized personnel from directly opening the water valve with a wrench to steal water. No dedicated personnel are required for monitoring, significantly reducing labor costs and minimizing water waste and economic losses.

[0021] The water quality assurance system's U-shaped drain pipes can discharge residual water after water intake, while the semi-circular plate and support column work together to regulate drainage and prevent water stagnation. Ultraviolet lamps kill bacteria, algae, and other microorganisms, addressing water pollution issues during intermittent water intake periods. Furthermore, insect nets prevent small animals from entering, and sealing rings and sealing strips ensure airtightness. These multiple layers of protection safeguard the quality of the output water, meeting the water quality requirements of sanitation, irrigation, and other scenarios, and mitigating health risks.

[0022] The authentication module's solar panel converts solar energy into electricity to charge the battery, which in turn powers the smart identification device and unlocking motor, eliminating the need for an external power source and reducing energy consumption and wiring costs. The battery capacity is adapted to the device's power consumption, ensuring normal operation even on cloudy days and guaranteeing continuous stability in complex outdoor environments.

[0023] The unlocking module offers a variety of locking options, including Y-shaped and L-shaped ones, allowing for adjustments to the locking structure based on the existing type of water tap, thus improving adaptability. Y-shaped locking devices are suitable for water taps with grooved sheaths, while L-shaped devices are suitable for water taps without grooved sheaths. This allows for direct modification of existing water taps, making it widely applicable. Attached Figure Description

[0038] Example

[0039] This embodiment provides a user-authenticated unlocking type outdoor water tap for water quality protection, such as... Figures 1-10 As shown, the specific structure is described below.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the user-authenticated unlocking water quality protection outdoor water tap provided in this embodiment consists of four main parts: the water tap body 1, the authentication module 2, the unlocking module 3, and the water quality protection mechanism 6. The specific structure of each part is as follows:

[0041] Combination Figure 1 As shown, the main body 1 of the water hydrant is the basic support structure of the entire water hydrant. It can be made of high-strength cast iron, which has good corrosion resistance and impact resistance, and can adapt to complex outdoor environmental conditions. The components of the main body 1 of the water hydrant include the water intake rod switch 101, the protective sleeve 102, and the baffle 103.

[0042] Furthermore, in combination Figure 1 As shown, the water-taking rod switch 101 is vertically installed at the center of the water tap body 1, and its bottom is connected to the internal water supply valve. By rotating the water-taking rod switch 101, the water supply valve can be opened and closed, thereby controlling the water flow and water stoppage of the water tap.

[0043] Furthermore, in combination Figure 1 As shown, the sheath 102 and the baffle 103 are made of the same material as the water tap body 1. The sheath 102 has a cylindrical structure and surrounds the outside of the water tap switch 101, with its height slightly higher than that of the water tap switch 101. Some existing water tap bodies 1 have a through groove 1021 on the side wall of the sheath 102, while others do not. The baffle 103 is annular in shape and welded to the top of the sheath 102. Its outer diameter is larger than that of the sheath 102, and its inner diameter is larger than that of the sheath 102.

[0044] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 1 As shown, the authentication module 2 is the core component for realizing user identity authentication, including the intelligent identification component 201, the battery, and the solar panel 202.

[0045] The intelligent identification device 201 is equipped with a microprocessor and employs mature technologies such as barcode scanning, biometric (fingerprint) recognition, and IC card authentication. For example, the intelligent identification device 201 includes an RFID module, a password input module, and a wireless communication module. The RFID module can read information from the user's RFID card (IC card), the password input module allows the user to enter a password via buttons, and the microprocessor verifies the read RFID card information or the entered password. If verification is successful, an unlocking signal is sent to the unlocking motor 302; if verification fails, no unlocking signal is sent, and the abnormal situation is simultaneously reported to the water supply management department's monitoring platform via the wireless communication module.

[0046] It should be noted that the smart identification device 201 has a waterproof casing with a display screen and operation buttons on its surface. The display screen can show information such as the current authentication status and water volume, while the operation buttons facilitate users to perform operations such as password input.

[0047] Furthermore, the battery can be a lithium battery, which can provide a stable power supply for the smart identification component 201 and the unlocking motor 302. The battery is installed in the battery compartment inside the smart identification component 201. The battery compartment has good waterproof and moisture-proof performance, which can protect the battery from the influence of the external environment.

[0048] Furthermore, the solar panel 202 is installed on top of the water tap body 1 and is fixedly connected to the water tap body 1 via a bracket. The output end of the solar panel 202 is electrically connected to the input end of the battery. During the day when there is sunlight, the solar panel 202 converts solar energy into electrical energy to charge the battery, thereby ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the authentication module 2 and the unlocking module 3.

[0049] In this embodiment, the unlocking module 3 is used to unlock the water-drawing rod switch 101 after the user's identity authentication is successful. The unlocking module 3 mainly includes a lock cap 301, an unlocking motor 302, a locking piece 4, and a spring 5.

[0050] Combination Figure 1 As shown, the lock cap 301 has a cylindrical structure with a through hole 3011 at its center. The diameter of the through hole 3011 matches the diameter of the water-dispensing rod switch 101, allowing the water-dispensing rod switch 101 to pass through the through hole 3011. The bottom flange of the lock cap 301 abuts against the bottom surface of the baffle 103. In the unlocked state, the lock cap 301 can block the top of the water-dispensing rod switch 101, preventing unauthorized users from directly operating the water-dispensing rod switch 101. The spring 5 is a cylindrical helical spring made of spring steel. Its bottom is fixedly connected to the top of the water-dispensing faucet body 1, and its top is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lock cap 301. In the unlocked state, the spring 5 applies an upward supporting force to the lock cap 301, making the lock cap 301 tightly abut against the baffle 103, improving the locking stability of the lock cap 301.

[0051] This embodiment provides two different shaped card pieces 4: a Y-shaped card piece and an L-shaped card piece. Users can choose the appropriate card piece 4 according to their actual needs. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, some existing water tap bodies 1 have a through groove 1021 on the side wall of the sheath 102. For this type, a Y-shaped latch is used. The Y-shaped latch is located below the locking cap 301, and the unlocking motor 302's shaft is connected to the Y-shaped latch. When the unlocking motor 302 drives the Y-shaped latch to rotate below the locking cap 301, as shown... Figure 2 As shown by the dotted Y-shaped locking element, at this time, the Y-shaped locking element prevents the locking cap 301 from moving downwards, and the water-taking rod switch 101 cannot be exposed to prevent water from being taken out; when the unlocking motor 302 drives the Y-shaped locking element to rotate clockwise out from under the locking cap 301, as shown... Figure 2 As shown in the Y-shaped clip, the Y-shaped clip does not affect the downward movement of the lock cap 301, and the water-taking rod switch 101 can be exposed to take water.

[0052] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, some existing water tap bodies 1 have sleeves 102 sidewalls without through grooves 1021. For this type, an L-shaped locking device is used to unlock the motor 302's shaft and the L-shaped locking device. When the unlocking motor 302 drives the L-shaped locking device to rotate below the locking cap 301, as shown... Figure 3 As shown by the dotted L-shaped locking element (a limit block is provided on the side wall of the sheath 102 to abut against the L-shaped locking element), the L-shaped locking element prevents the locking cap 301 from moving downwards, and the water-taking rod switch 101 cannot be exposed to prevent water from being taken out; when the unlocking motor 302 drives the L-shaped locking element to rotate clockwise out from under the locking cap 301, as shown... Figure 3 As shown in the L-shaped clip (a protrusion is provided on the right side of the middle of the L-shaped clip to abut against the inner wall of the sleeve 102), at this time the L-shaped clip does not affect the downward movement of the lock cap 301, and the water-taking rod switch 101 can be exposed to take water.

[0053] It should be noted that this embodiment also provides another type of card 4, which, in combination with... Figure 4 As shown, card 4 can be in the shape of a disc. Figure 4 The device also includes a drive gear 3021, a rack 3022, and driven gears 3023. The drive gear 3021 is mounted on the upper right side of the rack 3022, and the three driven gears 3023 are mounted on the upper left, lower left, and lower right sides of the rack 3022, respectively. Six locking pieces 4 are fitted onto the rack 3022 and are fixedly connected to it, allowing them to move as the rack 3022 moves.

[0054] Combination Figure 4 As shown, the driving gear 3021 is fixedly connected to the shaft of the unlocking motor 302 and can rotate under the drive of the unlocking motor 302. The rack 3022 meshes with the driving gear 3021 and the driven gear 3023. When the driving gear 3021 rotates, it can drive the rack 3022 to move in a straight line. The length direction of the rack 3022 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the sheath 102.

[0055] A slot 3012 is also provided at the bottom of the lock cap 301. The shape of the slot 3012 is adapted to the shape of the locking piece 4, and it is used to cooperate with the locking piece 4 to lock the lock cap 301. When the rack 3022 drives the locking piece 4 and the slot 3012 to align, the lock cap 301 can be pressed down; when the rack 3022 drives the locking piece 4 and the slot 3012 to misalign, the lock cap 301 cannot be pressed down.

[0056] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 5As shown, a water quality protection mechanism 6 is also provided to drain the residual water in the main body 1 of the water tap, prevent the residual water from stagnating for a long time and breeding microorganisms, and disinfect the water inside the water tap. It includes a U-shaped drain pipe 601, a sealing ring 602, a semi-circular plate 603, a support column 604, a steel ring 7, an insect net 8, a valve 9, and an ultraviolet lamp plate 10.

[0057] The U-shaped drain pipe 601 can be made of PVC or stainless steel. The middle part of the U-shaped drain pipe 601 is connected to the bottom of the side wall of the water tap body 1. The inlet and outlet of the U-shaped drain pipe 601 are both facing downwards.

[0058] Combination Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the steel ring 7 is installed on the inner wall of the inlet of the U-shaped drain pipe 601, above the sealing ring 602, and can support the sealing ring 602 to prevent it from deforming under water pressure. The sealing ring 602 can be made of nitrile rubber and is installed on the inner wall of the inlet of the U-shaped drain pipe 601, connected to the bottom of the steel ring 7, to prevent leakage from the edge of the semi-circular plate 603.

[0059] Two semicircular plates 603 form a complete circular plate. The semicircular plates 603 are made of stainless steel and are hinged together on the inner wall of the inlet of the U-shaped drain pipe 601, located below the sealing ring 602. Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, a sealing strip 6031 is provided on the side wall of the two semicircular plates 603 that are close to each other. The sealing strip 6031 is made of silicone material, which can improve the sealing performance when the two semicircular plates 603 are closed and prevent water from leaking from the gap between the two semicircular plates 603.

[0060] Combination Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, two support columns 604 are respectively installed at the bottom of the two semicircular plates 603, and the support columns 604 can control the opening and closing degree of the two semicircular plates 603. When the water tap is used up, the two semicircular plates 603 can be prevented from closing due to water surface tension.

[0061] like Figure 5 As shown, the insect-proof net 8 is made of stainless steel wire mesh and is installed at the outlet of the U-shaped drain pipe 601. It can prevent small animals such as mosquitoes and rats from entering the water tap body 1 through the U-shaped drain pipe 601 and polluting the water. The valve 9 is installed in the middle of the U-shaped drain pipe 601 and is normally in the open state.

[0062] A waterproof ultraviolet lamp panel 10 is installed on the top wall inside the water tap body 1. Its control end is electrically connected to the output end of the smart identification component 201. Disinfection is activated 30 minutes after each water draw, and the disinfection time is 15 minutes. The water inside the water tap body 1 is disinfected to kill bacteria, algae and other microorganisms in the water and ensure the water quality.

[0063] Combination Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, when water is drawn, the water pressure causes the two semicircular plates 603 to fully unfold, which seals the U-shaped drain pipe 601. When water is drained after drawing water, the water pressure decreases and gravity causes the semicircular plates 603 to automatically fold, opening the inlet of the U-shaped drain pipe 601 to facilitate the discharge of residual water inside the water tap body 1. After the drainage is completed, the water pressure completely disappears, causing the support columns 604 of the semicircular plates 603 to abut against each other, ensuring that the semicircular plates 603 have a certain degree of opening and closing, so that the two semicircular plates 603 can fully unfold when drawing water again.

[0064] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
