Description

感应旋转水龙头Induction rotary faucet

技术领域 technical field

本发明涉及卫浴出水龙头的控制装置，具体的讲是一种感应旋转水龙头。 The invention relates to a control device for a bathroom faucet, in particular to an induction rotating faucet.

背景技术 Background technique

目前水龙头的出水感应控制已经相当普及，但是在水盆上的水龙头，因为在冲洗脸时，必须用手接住水再往脸上擦，实属不便。 At present, the water sensor control of the faucet is quite popular, but the faucet on the basin, because when washing the face, it is inconvenient to catch the water with the hand and then wipe it on the face.

发明内容 Contents of the invention

本发明的目的在于提供一种感应旋转水龙头，可根据人脸或手的位置自行改变出水头方向的功能。 The purpose of the present invention is to provide an induction rotating faucet, which can automatically change the direction of the water outlet according to the position of the face or hand.

本发明是以如下技术方案实现的：一种感应旋转水龙头，由水龙头、控制模块、电磁阀、电机、出水头、一号传感器、二号传感器、电容器和电阻器组成，其特征是：控制模块的一号脚和十号脚为电源的输入线，一号脚同时与二号脚连接，三号脚和四号脚的中间连接一个电容器，四号脚和五号脚与电磁阀连接，六号脚和七号脚与电机连接，八号脚与二号传感器连接，九号脚与一号传感器连接，一号脚和十号脚的中间连接一个电阻器。 The present invention is realized by the following technical scheme: an induction rotary faucet, which is composed of a faucet, a control module, a solenoid valve, a motor, a water outlet, a No. 1 sensor, a No. 2 sensor, a capacitor and a resistor, and is characterized in that: a control module Pin 1 and pin 10 are the input lines of the power supply, pin 1 is connected to pin 2 at the same time, a capacitor is connected in the middle of pin 3 and pin 4, pin 4 and pin 5 are connected to the solenoid valve, pin 6 The No. 1 pin and the No. 7 pin are connected to the motor, the No. 8 pin is connected to the No. 2 sensor, the No. 9 pin is connected to the No. 1 sensor, and a resistor is connected between the No. 1 pin and the No. 10 pin.

控制模块的一号脚和十号脚与市电连接。 The No. 1 and No. 10 pins of the control module are connected to the mains.

当所述的一号传感器感应到人手在出水头的下方时，控制模块导通电机的电能，电机旋转带动出水头朝下， When the No. 1 sensor senses that the hand is under the water outlet, the control module turns on the electric energy of the motor, and the motor rotates to drive the water outlet downwards.

所述的出水头在正下位置时，控制模块导通电磁阀水流流出； When the water outlet head is at the down position, the control module conducts the solenoid valve to flow out the water;

当所述的二号传感器感应到人脸在出水头的上方时，控制模块导通电机的电能，电机旋转使出水头向上， When the No. 2 sensor senses that the human face is above the water outlet, the control module turns on the electric energy of the motor, and the motor rotates to make the water outlet upward.

所述的出水头在正上位置时，控制模块导通电磁阀水流流出； When the water outlet head is in the upper position, the control module conducts the solenoid valve to flow out the water;

此时，若，一号传感器和二号传感器同时接收到信号时，控制模块将关闭电磁阀，并导通电机电能，使出水头旋转朝下，当出水头朝下后，控制模块再一次导通电磁阀，水流流出。 At this time, if the No. 1 sensor and the No. 2 sensor receive signals at the same time, the control module will close the solenoid valve and turn on the electric power of the motor to make the water head rotate downward. When the water head is down, the control module will turn on again Through the solenoid valve, the water flows out.

即，一号传感器和二号传感器同时接收到信号时，控制模块只处理一号传感器的信息，默认洗手的优先模式。 That is, when the No. 1 sensor and the No. 2 sensor receive signals at the same time, the control module only processes the information of the No. 1 sensor, and defaults to the priority mode of hand washing.

有益效果，运用本发明可根据人脸或手的位置自行改变出水头方向的作用。 Beneficial effects, the use of the present invention can automatically change the direction of the water outlet according to the position of the face or hand.
