Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a principle structure of an intelligent water outlet device in one embodiment. Fig. 2a and 2b are schematic views illustrating the working principle of the intelligent water outlet device shown in fig. 1. Referring to fig. 1 in conjunction with fig. 2a and 2b, in one embodiment, the intelligent water outlet device may include a supporting bracket 10, a handheld water outlet member 20, a sensing assembly 30, a control assembly 40, and a water control assembly 50.
The holding bracket 10 may be a rigid structural member, and the holding bracket 10 may be placed on the basin or a stationary table on which the basin is placed.
The hand-held water outlet member 20 is removably placed on the holding bracket 10.
The water control assembly 50 is disposed between the hand held water outlet member 20 and the water supply line 60. For example, solenoid valves and/or motor valves may be included in the water control assembly 50, i.e., at least one solenoid valve, or at least one motor valve, or a combination of at least one battery valve and at least one motor valve may be included in the water control assembly 50. And, the intelligent water outlet device may further include a switching assembly 70, and the switching assembly 70 may be disposed in the water supply line 60 for controlling the water supply line 60 to switch between the water supply state and the water cut-off state.
For example, the real-time status may be embodied as a clutched status of the handheld water outlet member 20 relative to the cradle 10, which clutched status may include an in-position status (i.e., an idle status) indicating that the handheld water outlet member 20 is placed in the cradle 10, and a disengaged status (i.e., an in-use status) indicating that the handheld water outlet member 20 is taken from the cradle 10.
In this case, the hand-held water discharge member 20 may be placed on the holding bracket 10 by being snapped, inserted, held, etc., and the restraining force of the holding bracket 10 to the hand-held water discharge member 20 is releasable to allow the hand-held water discharge member 20 to be easily separated from the holding bracket 10 when being taken
In addition, for the real-time state to be embodied as the clutch state, the sensing component 30 may be a contact sensing component supporting pressure sensing or the like:
if the handheld water outlet member 20 is in the in-place state, the in-place contact between the handheld water outlet member 20 and the supporting and placing bracket 10 can be sensed by the contact sensing assembly;
however, if the handheld water outlet member 20 is in a separated state of being taken from the supporting and placing bracket 10, the contact in place sensed by the contact sensing assembly is lost, that is, the use state is sensed;
alternatively, the sensing component 30 may be a non-contact sensing component supporting electromagnetic induction, capacitive induction, infrared induction, laser induction, and the like, for example, and it is understood that the non-contact sensing component refers to a sensing mode using unnecessary contact rather than occurrence of repulsive contact. For the non-contact sensing assembly, it may be based on the same principle as the contact sensing assembly, that is, if the handheld water discharging member 20 is in the on-position state, the on-position contact sensed by the non-contact sensing assembly is lost if the handheld water discharging member 20 is in the separated state of being taken out from the supporting and placing bracket 10 and the distance between the handheld water discharging member 20 and the supporting and placing bracket 10 is beyond the predetermined distance range, that is, the use state is sensed. Or, the non-contact sensing assembly may also adopt a sensing mechanism different from the contact detection assembly, that is, the sensing area of the non-contact sensing assembly may cover the placement area of the handheld water outlet member 20 on the supporting bracket 10, if the handheld water outlet member 20 is in the on-site state, the handheld water outlet member 20 located in the placement area may be sensed by the contact sensing assembly, but if the handheld water outlet member 20 is in the separated state of taking out and separating from the supporting bracket 10, the handheld water outlet member 20 sensed by the contact sensing assembly in the placement area disappears, that is, the use state is sensed.
For another example, the real-time status may be embodied as a pressure-sensitive status of the handheld water outlet member 20, which may include a static pressure status (i.e., an idle status) indicating that the handheld water outlet member 20 is subjected to static pressure in a mating area with the cradle 10, and a dynamic pressure status (i.e., an in-use status) indicating that the handheld water outlet member 20 is subjected to dynamic pressure in a gripping area due to being gripped by a human hand.
For the real-time status is embodied as a pressure-sensitive status, the sensing component 30 may be a touch sensing component supporting pressure sensing or the like:
if the pressure sensing component senses a static pressure at the aforementioned mating region, which is constant or close to constant, it indicates that the handheld water outlet member 20 is in a static pressure state;
if the pressure-sensitive component senses a variable pressure within a predetermined range in the gripping area and the static pressure sensed by the pressure-sensitive component in the engaging area disappears, it indicates that the handheld water discharging member 20 is in a dynamic pressure state.
For another example, the real-time status may also be embodied as a posture status of the handheld water outlet member 20, which may include a deviated posture (i.e., an idle state) indicating that the water outlet path of the handheld water outlet member 20 when placed on the cradle 10 deviates from a designated water usage area (e.g., an area where a basin or a human body part to be used for water is located), and an aiming posture (i.e., an in-use state) indicating that the water outlet path of the handheld water outlet member 20 when placed on the cradle 10 hits the designated water usage area. The off-pose and the on-pose can be determined by the spatial angle at which the handheld launch member 20 is located, and the spatial angle at which the handheld launch member 20 is located can be adjusted by the cradle 10.
For the real-time status as the pose status, the sensing component 30 may be a contact sensing component supporting pressure sensing or the like, which can sense the pressure change (i.e. the change of the pressure direction or the pressure position) of the supporting bracket 10 caused by adjusting the spatial angle of the handheld water outlet member 20.
The control assembly 40 can control the water control assembly 50 according to the real-time status (e.g. clutch status, or pressure status, or pose status) sensed by the sensing assembly 30, so that:
when the real-time state sensed by the sensing assembly 30 indicates that the handheld water outlet member 20 is in an idle state (for example, an in-place state in which the handheld water outlet member 20 is placed on the supporting and placing support 10, or a static pressure state in which the handheld water outlet member 20 is subjected to a static pressure in a matching area with the supporting and placing support 10, or a deviation posture in which a water outlet path of the handheld water outlet member 20 deviates from a designated water using area when placed on the supporting and placing support 10), the water control assembly 50 forms a water path blocking between the handheld water outlet member 20 and the water supply pipeline 60;
when the clutch state sensed by the sensing assembly 30 indicates that the handheld water outlet member 20 is in a use state intended to be used (for example, a separation state that the handheld water outlet member 20 is taken from the holding bracket 10, or a dynamic pressure state that the handheld water outlet member 20 is subjected to dynamic pressure in a holding area due to being held by a human hand, or an aiming posture that a water outlet path of the handheld water outlet member 20 when being placed on the holding bracket 10 hits a designated water use area), the water control assembly 50 forms a water path communication between the handheld water outlet member 20 and the water supply line 60.
Thus, when the water supply line 60 is in the water control state (e.g., the switch assembly 70 is in the open state), as long as the handheld water outlet member 20 is switched from the idle state to the use state in response to the external operation with the intention of using water, as shown in fig. 2b, the handheld water outlet member 20 and the water supply line 60 can be automatically conducted, and the handheld water outlet member 20 can automatically discharge water; as long as the handheld water outlet member returns to the idle state, as shown in FIG. 2a, the handheld water outlet member 20 and the water supply line 60 are automatically blocked, and the handheld water outlet member 20 is automatically turned off.
Thus, the manual opening and closing operation of the switch assembly 70 may not need to be performed once every time the water is used by the handheld water outlet member 20, for example, the switch assembly 70 may be in a normally open state during multiple uses of water without being repeatedly opened and closed, which helps to simplify the operation process of the user for the purpose of using water by the handheld water outlet member 20.
Fig. 3a and 3b are schematic structural diagrams of an example of the intelligent water outlet device shown in fig. 1. Referring to fig. 3a and 3b, in an alternative example structure of this embodiment, the real-time state may be embodied as a clutch state of the handheld water discharging member 20 relative to the cradle 10, and the handheld water discharging member 20 may be a handheld faucet 120.
Accordingly, in the example structure shown in fig. 3a and 3b, the cradle 10 may be a rigid support arm 110 mounted to a faucet base 160, the faucet base 160 serving as the water supply line 60 and being mounted with a handle-style toggle switch 170 serving as the switch assembly 70, and a flexible tube 100 (e.g., a gooseneck) may be connected between the hand-held faucet 120 and the water control assembly 50.
In addition, fig. 3a and 3b are merely examples in which the hand tap 120 is placed on the rigid support arm 110 by snap-fitting with the rigid support arm 110, and the hand tap 120 can be taken by releasing the snap-fitting, but the present invention is not limited thereto in practical applications.

In addition, fig. 4a and 4b are merely examples in which the hand shower 220 is placed on the shower tray 210 by engaging with the shower tray 210, and the hand shower 220 can be taken by releasing the engagement, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, the shower tray 210 can allow the handheld shower 220 to relatively rotate relative to the wall-hung rigid pipe 290 so as to switch the posture state by changing the spatial angle of the handheld shower 220.
