The inventor of the invention discovers that the water heater in the prior art comprises a gas water heater, the temperature of the water heater can be set only through keys on a water heater panel when the water heater heats water, and the water outlet proportion of the refrigerating and heating water is controlled through a water mixing valve of a faucet to realize the regulation of the water outlet temperature. However, during the water consumption peak period, the terminal water pressure of the user at the high floor is lower, and at the moment, the water pressure of the hot water pipe cannot reach the water pressure threshold value of the water heater for heating water, and the water heater cannot be started for heating water due to the fact that the water pressure is too low, so that the water tap of the user's home cannot discharge hot water. Especially when the bath is carried out in the water peak period, the water heater can not keep running stably because of unstable water pressure of a high floor, and the water outlet of the water tap is heated for a while Leng Yihui, even cold water all the time. In order to at least partially solve the technical problems in the prior art, the inventor makes the invention and provides a control mechanism of a faucet valve body, a water inlet control mechanism of a faucet, the faucet and a hot water system through specific embodiments.

the handle mechanism 4 is movably connected with the base 3;

the handle mechanism 4 is arranged to be adapted to be displaced in response to a first directional driving force or a second directional driving force to control the self-generating device 1 to output a first electrical signal or a second electrical signal to the communication assembly 2; the first direction and the second direction are two different directions;

the communication assembly 2 is arranged to be able to emit a corresponding first control signal or second control signal in response to the first or second electrical signal.

The first control signal may be a faucet on signal, and the second control signal may be a faucet off signal. Alternatively, the first control signal is a faucet off signal, and the second control signal is a faucet on signal.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the first direction and the second direction may be opposite directions, that is, the first direction driving force or the second direction driving force is a driving force with opposite directions, for example, the first opposite driving force is a force in a vertically downward direction, and the second direction driving force is a force in a vertically upward direction.

According to the control mechanism of the faucet valve body, provided by the embodiment of the invention, the handle mechanism 4 moves to generate displacement, so that the self-generating device 1 is triggered, the communication assembly 2 is triggered to send out a first control signal or a second control signal, the signal receiving device can acquire whether the faucet is in a current water outlet state or a closed state according to the first control signal and the second control signal through signal connection of the faucet and signal receiving equipment, and the signal receiving equipment can execute corresponding actions according to the state of the faucet, so that water outlet stability of the faucet is ensured.

In the control mechanism of the faucet valve body provided by the embodiment of the invention, the movable connection between the handle mechanism 4 and the base 3 can be shaft connection. Specifically, the base 3 may include a rotation shaft 31, and the handle mechanism 4 is connected to the base 3 by a shaft; the handle mechanism 4 is arranged with an angle of rotational displacement about the rotational axis 31 of 0.5 ° to 10 °. In order to ensure that the rotation angle of the handle mechanism 4 does not exceed the necessary limit, a limit part 32 may be provided on the base 3, and the limit part 32 is used to limit the rotation displacement angle of the handle mechanism 4 around the rotation axis, so as to ensure that the rotation angle of the handle mechanism 4 around the rotation axis 31 is always within a preset angle range.

The following describes in detail, through several specific embodiments, a specific implementation manner of a control mechanism for a faucet valve body provided by the embodiments of the present invention:

referring to fig. 1-8, in one embodiment of a control mechanism for a faucet valve body provided by the present invention, the self-generating device 1 may be a power generation device in the prior art, for example, a magneto-electric pulse power generation device, where the self-generating device 1 includes a driving component 113; the handle mechanism 4 is provided with a toggle part 41; the toggle portion 41 is configured and adapted to respond to the first directional driving force or the second directional driving force to drive the driving assembly 113, and trigger the self-generating device 1 to output the first electrical signal or the second electrical signal. For example, the driving unit 113 of the self-generating device 1 may include an elastic reed 1133, and if the stirring portion 41 responds to the first direction driving force or the second direction driving force, the elastic reed 1133 may be driven to elastically deform, so as to control the self-generating device 1 to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, and output the first electrical signal or the second electrical signal.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the faucet may be a lifting faucet, that is, when the handle mechanism may rotate relative to the base, the movement direction of the handle mechanism is upward or downward, for example, when the faucet needs to be opened, the handle mechanism rotates upward, and when the faucet needs to be closed, the handle mechanism rotates downward, where the first driving force is an upward force applied to the handle mechanism, and the second driving force is a downward force applied to the handle mechanism. Of course, according to the actual use requirement of the faucet, the handle mechanism can be rotated downwards when the faucet is opened, and rotated upwards when the faucet is closed, at this time, the first direction driving force is the downward acting force applied to the handle mechanism, and the second direction driving force is the upward acting force applied to the handle mechanism.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the self-generating device 1 may also be another type of self-generating generator in the prior art, for example, a piezoelectric ceramic generator or other generators capable of converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. Of course, when the piezoelectric ceramic generator or other types of self-generating generators are adopted, the structural relationship between the stirring portion 41 and the self-generating device 1 can also be adaptively adjusted according to the structural characteristics of the self-generating generator, for example, when the piezoelectric ceramic generator is adopted, since the driving component 113 of the piezoelectric ceramic generator generally comprises a spring plate disposed above the piezoelectric ceramic plate, the stirring portion 41 will act on the spring plate in response to the driving force in the first direction or the driving force in the second direction, so that the spring plate is elastically deformed, and the elastic potential energy of the spring plate acts on the elastic piezoelectric ceramic plate of the piezoelectric ceramic generator to output the first electric signal or the second electric signal.

And the two side surfaces of the casing 42 are respectively provided with a rotating shaft accommodating part 423 to be matched with the rotating shaft 31, so that the handle mechanism 4 rotates relative to the rotating shaft 31 under the action of the driving force in the first direction or the driving force in the second direction. Specifically, the middle cover 422 may be provided with a first locking groove 4231, the lower case 421 is provided with a second locking groove 4232, and the first locking groove 4231 and the second locking groove 4232 form the rotation shaft accommodating portion 423. In the embodiment of the present invention, the rotating shaft 31 of the first fixing support 33 may be disposed at one end far away from the first contact 411 and the second contact 412, so that the handle mechanism 4 only needs to rotate by a small angle, and the amplitude of the movement of the first contact 411 and the second contact 412 can meet the requirement of driving the elastic reed 1133.

As shown with reference to fig. 2 and 4, the lower case 421 is further provided with a receiving hole 4212; the upper ends of the first and second fixing brackets 33 and 34 pass through the receiving hole 4212 and are placed in the receiving space.

In one embodiment, a gap with a preset distance is formed between a side surface of the first fixing bracket 33, which is close to the handle, and the receiving hole 4212, so as to form a limit part 32 of the control mechanism of the faucet valve body.
