The installation position of the existing intelligent faucet sensor is basically arranged at the following positions of the faucet: the water tap comprises a water tap base, the root of a water outlet bent pipe, the top of the water outlet bent pipe and the water outlet part of the water outlet bent pipe. The mismatching of the sensor mounting position causes the following problems: if the sensor is installed on the water faucet base, the sensor cannot be changed along with the change of the direction of the water outlet pipe due to the fact that the water faucet base cannot rotate, and therefore the use is inconvenient. Install the sensor inside the return bend, this kind of design processing is difficult for saying big, can lead to the physical properties variation of return bend moreover, is bent easily, and the sensor can meet more interference and lead to out of order water in the use, uses and experiences poorly. The sensor is mounted at the top end of the water outlet elbow, and the structure causes inconvenience in use because the sensor is too far away in the water using process. The sensor is installed and fixed to the side edge of the water outlet and the lower portion of the water outlet, so that the use experience is good, but the sensor on the side edge is easy to trigger when the water outlet pipe is rotated by hands, and water is discharged by mistake and the like.

Detailed Description

Referring to the drawings, the assembly and the use of the intelligent faucet are taken as an example for explaining the specific implementation mode of the invention.

When the intelligent faucet is assembled, the elbow (12) and the base (13) are taken out and assembled into a shell of the faucet main body (1), and then the sensor (2) is taken out; a signal wire (25) of the sensor (2) passes through the bent pipe (12) and the base (13) to be led out of the faucet, then the sensor (2) is fixed to the head part of the bent pipe (12), and at the moment, the position of the upper sensing device (21) is adjusted to be opposite to the inner side direction of the bent pipe (12). Then the hose (17) and the nozzle (15) are taken, the magnet (18) is fixed at the designated position of the screw cap (16), then the hose (17) is connected with the nozzle (15), and the other end of the hose (17) passes through the elbow (12) and the base (13), thus completing the assembly of the main body part of the faucet. During the installation use, earlier fix the tap body that the equipment was accomplished to the basin mounting hole, power (4) are connected with signal line (25), and solenoid valve (3) are connected with signal line (25), and cold water connection cold inlet tube (42) connects hot water inlet (43), with mixing water pipe (41) and valve water inlet (31) intercommunication, at last with valve delivery port (32) and hose (17) intercommunication to fix weight (5) to the assigned position of hose (17), installation work is just accomplished totally like this. The intelligent faucet can be used by opening the cold and hot water valve to supply water.

When the intelligent faucet is used, the water path is firstly opened through the water mixing valve (19), and the water temperature is adjusted to be proper. The sensor (2) is provided with an upper sensing device (21), a side sensing device (23) and a lower sensing device (24), and various functions of the sensor are set. The upper sensing device (21) is a long water outlet mode that the water faucet automatically outputs water when triggered for the first time and automatically stops water when triggered again, and if the upper sensing device (21) is not triggered again for more than 3 minutes, the system can automatically close the water outlet of the water faucet, so that the water safety and water saving are ensured. The lower sensing device (24) is in a short water outlet mode that water is discharged when an object senses the object and the water is stopped when the object leaves, and if the object does not leave for more than 1 minute, the system can automatically close the water outlet of the faucet, so that the water safety and water saving are ensured. The side sensing device (23) is used for water outlet of the faucet when the spray head (15) is drawn out, and the faucet stops water when the spray head (15) is put back. The priority levels of the three water outlet modes in use are respectively the highest priority of the control of the side sensing device (23), the second priority of the control of the upper sensing device (21) and the last priority of the control of the lower sensing device (24).

Therefore, when people need to discharge water for a long time, the control of the upper sensing device (21) can be realized, namely, a hand extends into the sensing range (B) set by the upper sensing device (21), after infrared rays are reflected by the hand and received by the upper sensing device (21), the sensor (2) gives an opening signal to the electromagnetic valve (3), and the water outlet (11) of the faucet discharges water. If the water outlet needs to be closed, the hand is only required to extend into the sensing range (B) again, and the water outlet (11) stops water outlet on the same principle. When a user needs to clean a far place, the spray head (15) is pulled out, the water outlet (11) can automatically discharge water, because the movement of the spray head (15) drives the displacement of the magnet (18) in the screw cap (16) to trigger the side sensing device (23), the sensor (2) can give an opening signal to the electromagnetic valve (3), and the water outlet (11) can discharge water; when the spray head (15) is pulled back to the original position due to the action of the heavy hammer (5) after the hand is loosened, the side sensing device (23) is triggered again, the sensor (2) gives a signal for closing the valve to the electromagnetic valve (3), and the faucet can close water. When water is used for a short time, a hand is placed below the water outlet (11), the lower sensing device (24) receives a signal indicating that the hand exists, the sensor (2) can send an opening signal to the electromagnetic valve (3), and the water outlet (11) outputs water; when the hand leaves, the lower sensing device (24) obtains a signal again, the sensor (2) gives a closing signal to the electromagnetic valve (3), and the water outlet (11) stops water outlet. Because the switch (25) is arranged and the switch (25) is a capacitive touch switch arranged on the window plane (26) where the lower sensing device (24) is located, when a user is not used to the short-time water outlet function of the lower sensing device (24), the function of the lower sensing device (24) can be closed by touching the switch (25) with a finger. The upper elbow (12) of the tap main body is movably connected with the base (13), so that when the tap is used, the elbow (12) can rotate 360 degrees, and the tap is very convenient to use. Utilize muddy water valve (19) on base (13), cold water passes through cold inlet tube (42), hot water passes through behind hot inlet tube (43) and after the control regulation of muddy water valve (19), the water of suitable flow and temperature can flow to valve water inlet (31) of solenoid valve (3) through mixing water pipe (41), like this solenoid valve (3) receive open with close signal time alright directly send warm water to tap's delivery port (11), the user just very convenient intelligent tap who has the cold and hot water function of using.

The intelligent faucet can well overcome the defects when the existing intelligent faucet is applied to a kitchen, plays a good role in kitchen faucet intellectualization, and has very good popularization and practical values.
