Faucet device with prompt function

Abstract

A faucet device with an indicator function includes a device body, an indicator light, one or more sensors, and a controller. The device body has multiple operating modes. The indicator light has multiple indicator lights, each of which is associated with one of the operating modes and used to indicate the operating mode in which the device body is operating. The sensor is disposed on the device body, and the controller is connected to the sensor and the indicator light. The controller determines which operating mode the device body operates in. When the controller controls the indicator light to indicate that the current operating mode is supplying clean water or drying air, the controller drives the device body to briefly supply the corresponding cleaning fluid. After the brief supply ends, the controller judges the signal from the sensor to determine whether to enter the corresponding operating mode.

Claims

1. A faucet device with an indicator function, comprising: a device body having a plurality of operating modes, the operating modes respectively supplying one of the following cleaning fluids: soap solution, purified water, and drying air; an indicator light exposed on the device body, the indicator light having a plurality of light symbols, each light symbol being associated with one of the operating modes and used to indicate the operating mode in which the device body is operating; one or more sensors disposed on the device body; and a controller connected to the sensors and the indicator light, the controller determining that the device body operates in one of the operating modes, the controller driving the device body to briefly supply the corresponding one of the cleaning fluids when controlling the indicator light to indicate that the current operating mode is supplying purified water or drying air, the controller judging the signal of the sensor after the aforementioned brief supply ends to determine whether the corresponding one of the operating modes has been entered.

2. The faucet device with a prompting function as described in claim 1, wherein, The controller sets a supply waiting time, which limits the controller to return the device to one of the preset operating modes when it determines that the sensor signal has not changed after the aforementioned brief supply ends.

3. The faucet device with a prompting function as described in claim 2, wherein, The controller is set with a prompt waiting time. After the prompt waiting time controls the device to enter one of the working modes and supply one of the cleaning fluids, it will trigger the device to briefly supply another cleaning fluid.

4. A faucet device with a prompting function as described in any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein, These lights are different colors.

5. The faucet device with a prompting function as described in claim 4, wherein, The device body includes a faucet fitting and a supply component. The faucet fitting is hollow, and the supply component is connected to the faucet fitting. The supply component has a soap dispenser, a water dispenser, and at least one air outlet formed on it. The soap dispenser, the water dispenser, and the air outlet are located on the same side of the faucet fitting.

6. The faucet device with a prompting function as described in claim 5, wherein, A sensing window is formed on the supply component. The sensing window is located on the same side of the device body as the soap dispenser, water dispenser, and air outlet. The sensing window provides the sensor for installation.

7. The faucet device with a prompting function as described in claim 6, wherein, An auxiliary sensing window is formed on the faucet fitting. Multiple sensors are provided, one of which is located in the sensing window and the other is located in the auxiliary sensing window.

8. The faucet device with a prompting function as described in claim 7, wherein, The device body has an assembly end and a supply end, which are located on opposite sides of the faucet device. The soap dispenser, water dispenser, air outlet and auxiliary sensor window are located on the supply end.

9. The faucet device with a prompting function as described in claim 8, wherein, The air outlet is provided in multiples, and the multiple air outlets are symmetrically arranged along the soap inlet.

10. The faucet device with a prompting function as described in claim 9, wherein, The sensor window is located between the soap dispenser and the water dispenser.
