Abstract

An automatic water dispenser with container positioning function is installed on an object and used to supply water to a container. It includes a water supply head, installed on the object and having a water outlet for supplying water to the container; an image recognition lens installed on the water supply head, capable of image recognition of the container; and a controller electrically connected to the image recognition lens and the water outlet. The controller determines whether the container and the water outlet are aligned based on the content recognized by the image recognition lens, and controls the water outlet to supply water to the container based on the alignment result. This invention uses image recognition to confirm whether the container is aligned with the water outlet; if aligned, the controller performs further processing.

Claims

1. An automatic water dispenser with container position recognition function, disposed on an object and used to supply water to a container, comprising: a water supply head disposed on the object and having a water outlet for supplying water to the container; an image recognition lens disposed on the water supply head, the image recognition lens being capable of image recognition of the container; and a controller electrically connected to the image recognition lens and the water outlet, the controller determining whether the container is aligned with the water outlet based on the content recognized by the image lens, and controlling the water outlet to supply water to the container based on the alignment result.

2. The automatic water dispenser with container location identification function as described in claim 1 further includes a voice control module disposed at the water supply head, wherein the controller releases the locked state of the voice control module according to the alignment result, allowing the user to use the voice control module to control the water outlet to supply water to the container.

3. The automatic water dispenser with container location identification function as described in claim 1, wherein the controller has a processing unit and a memory module electrically connected to each other, the memory module storing at least one drinking habit data, the processing unit retrieving the drinking habit data from the memory module and controlling the water outlet to supply water according to the drinking habit data, the drinking habit data including a habitual water volume.

4. The automatic water dispenser with container location identification function as described in claim 3 further includes a water supply unit connected to the water supply head and capable of supplying at least two different temperatures of water through the water supply head, the controller being electrically connected to the water supply unit, and the drinking habit data including a habit water temperature.

5. The automatic water dispenser with container location identification function as described in claim 1, wherein the water supply head is curved to have an inner arc bend, and the image recognition lens is disposed on the inner arc bend.

6. The automatic water dispenser with container position recognition function as described in claim 1 further includes at least one control element disposed at the water supply head, the control element being electrically connected to the controller, the controller releasing the locking state of the control element according to the alignment result, allowing the user to use the control element to control the water outlet to supply water to the container.

7. An automatic water dispenser with container position recognition function as described in claim 1, wherein the water supply head has at least one movable section electrically connected to the controller, and when the controller determines that the container and the water outlet are not aligned based on the content recognized by the image recognition lens, the controller moves the movable section to align the water outlet with the container.

8. The automatic water dispenser with container position recognition function as described in claim 1, wherein when the controller determines that the user's hand is within the range of image recognition based on the content recognized by the image recognition lens, the controller locks the water supply head to prevent output.

9. An automatic water dispenser with container position recognition function as described in claim 1, wherein when the controller determines, based on the content recognized by the image recognition lens, that the water level in the container is close to the upper edge of the container, the controller stops the water outlet from supplying water to the container.

10. An automatic water dispenser with container position recognition function as described in claim 3, wherein the memory module stores at least one container three-dimensional shape data, and the controller determines whether the container is aligned with the water outlet by comparing the content recognized by the image recognition lens with the container three-dimensional shape data.
