Description

Tap and waterway system with same

Technical Field

The utility model relates to the technical field of water taking equipment, in particular to a faucet and a waterway system with the faucet.

Background

As consumer demands for quality of life increase, the function of faucets has evolved toward diversification. Some faucets are provided with atomizers which can spray atomized water, and when a user needs a small amount of water, for example, the user can moisturize or replenish water to the skin, the atomizers can be utilized.

In the existing faucet with an atomization function, an atomizer is connected to the faucet through screw threads of a stud, and an atomization waterway for supplying water to the atomizer is arranged on the stud. When the atomizer is needed to be used, the stud can be screwed into the faucet, the stud can not only block the water outlet of the faucet, but also be communicated with the water inlet of the faucet, and water flow is introduced into the atomizer. When the faucet is required to normally discharge water, the stud can be rotated outwards to enable the water inlet of the atomization waterway to be moved out of the main waterway in the faucet, the end part of the stud can form threaded seal with the faucet, at the moment, the water outlet of the faucet can normally discharge water, and the atomizer is stopped from being used.

However, when the atomizer is used for moisturizing skin, a user must walk to the tap and bend down to aim at the tap, the use experience of the user is poor, the utilization rate of the atomization function is low, and if daily cleaning is not in place, the atomizer also becomes a sanitary dead angle, so that the function becomes a very 'chicken rib'. Furthermore, the normal water intake and atomization function of the faucet can only be used alternatively, which further results in a poor market competitiveness of such products.

Disclosure of Invention

In order to at least partially solve the problems in the prior art, embodiments of the present utility model provide a faucet and a waterway system having the same. The tap has a water inlet end and a water outlet end, the tap comprising: a main body having a first pipe and a second pipe independent from each other; the first valve body is arranged on the first pipeline, and the first pipeline extends from the water inlet end to the water intake end; and the atomizer is provided with a water storage port, the atomizer is detachably connected to the main body, the water inlet of the second pipeline is positioned at the water inlet end, and the water outlet of the second pipeline is connected with the water storage port when the atomizer is in a mounting state of being mounted to the main body.

The faucet provided by the utility model is provided with the first pipeline and the second pipeline which are independent from each other, and the first valve body is arranged on the first pipeline so as to realize the conventional function of the faucet. The second pipeline is connected with the atomizer and can provide atomized water. The user can utilize the atomized water to supplement water to the skin, so that the application scene of the faucet is greatly widened. Furthermore, the double arrangement of the first pipeline and the second pipeline enables the tap to take water and provide atomized water normally at the same time, and of course, the two functions can be alternatively used without interference. In addition, because the first pipeline and the second pipeline are mutually independent, the atomizer can be detachably connected to the main body, and the normal water taking of the first pipeline can not be influenced after the atomizer is detached. After the atomizer is taken down, the user can flexibly use under a proper scene, and the experience and satisfaction of the user are greatly improved. When the atomizer is installed on the main body after the use, the second pipeline can store water to the atomizer through the water storage port. In addition, the first and second pipes may be independent of each other such that they are connected to different water sources, respectively, e.g. the second pipe may be connected to a clean water source, to ensure the purity of the atomized water, thereby improving the flexibility of use of the tap.

The main body is also provided with a third pipeline, a water inlet of the third pipeline is connected to the rear section of the second pipeline, and a water outlet of the third pipeline is positioned at the water taking end; the tap includes the third valve body, and the third valve body sets up on the third pipeline. So arranged, a user can receive water flowing out of the first pipeline at the water intake end of the faucet. For example, to take in raw water.

The faucet further illustratively includes a pressure relief valve disposed on the second conduit. In general, the water inlet of the second pipeline is communicated with the water purifier. The water outlet pressure of the water purifier is larger, and the water pressure born by the water storage related parts of the atomizer is smaller. After water flows to the water storage port of the atomizer from the water inlet of the second pipeline through the pressure reducing valve, the water pressure is reduced, and the impact of the water on the water storage related parts of the atomizer is avoided. Thereby extending the life of the atomizer.

The faucet further comprises a one-way valve disposed at the water outlet of the second conduit, the one-way valve having a direction of conduction opposite to the direction of water flow, and the one-way valve being configured to be ejected by the atomizer when the atomizer is in an installed state. Therefore, the water outlet of the second pipeline is opened only after the atomizer is installed in place, and water leakage of the water outlet is avoided. Under the condition of the third pipeline, even if the water purifier is started and the atomizer is not mounted on the main body, the normal use of the faucet can be ensured. And the one-way valve is not an electronic control element, the cost of the faucet is low.

Illustratively, a position sensor and a control module are disposed on the main body, the position sensor is used for generating position information when the atomizer is not connected to the main body, a second valve body is disposed at the rear section of the second pipeline, the second valve body is connected to the control module, and the control module is used for controlling the closing of the second valve body according to the position information. Therefore, when the atomizer is not connected to the main body, the control module can control the second valve body to be turned off, and the tap can avoid water leakage of the water outlet of the second pipeline through the position information generated by the position sensor, so that the water leakage problem can not occur even if a user opens the water purifier by misoperation.

Illustratively, the atomizer and/or the main body are/is provided with a water quantity detector, the water quantity detector is used for detecting the water quantity in the atomizer and generating water quantity information, and the control module is used for controlling the on-off of the second valve body according to the water quantity information. Through setting up water yield detector and control module, whether the tap can discern the atomizer automatically and accurately lacks water to open the second valve body and store water for the atomizer is automatic when lacking water. And the tap can also automatically stop water storage after the water storage of the atomizer is full, so that the automation degree of water storage is greatly improved, and the possibility of water leakage of a water outlet of the second pipeline is reduced.

Illustratively, the faucet further includes a heater disposed in a forward section of the second conduit. The heater can the atomizer provide the water of suitable temperature, when the user uses the atomizer of tap to atomize moisturizing, can improve moisturizing and moisturizing effect. And, the body sense that the water mist with higher temperature is sprayed on the skin is more comfortable, and the use experience of the user is better. The benefits of the heater are more pronounced, especially in the case of the provision of the third conduit.

The faucet further comprises a temperature sensor and a control module electrically connected to the temperature sensor and the heater, the control module being configured to control the heater based on the temperature of the water in the second conduit detected by the temperature sensor and a user-set temperature.

As shown in fig. 1, 2, 5-7, the faucet 100 may have a water intake end 101 and a water intake end 102. The user may access water from the faucet 100 at the water intake end 102. The tap 100 may include a main body 200 and a nebulizer 300. The body 200 may have a first pipe 210 and a second pipe 220 independent from each other as shown in fig. 3 and 4. In one embodiment, the body 200 may further include a first housing 201, a second housing 202. The first housing 201 and the second housing 202 may be a single piece or separate pieces. The water intake end 101 and the water intake end 102 may be located on the first housing 201. The first and second conduits 210, 220 may be located within the first housing 201. The second housing 202 may be located outside the first housing 201 and connected to the first housing 201. The second housing 202 may be used to secure the atomizer 300. The first conduit 210 may extend from the water intake end 101 to the water intake end 102. The water inlet 213 of the first conduit 210 may be located at the water inlet end 101. The water outlet 214 of the first conduit 210 may be located at the water intake 102. The first conduit 210 may have a first valve body 240 disposed thereon, as shown in fig. 7. The first valve body 240 may be connected to the tap handle 103, and the opening degree of the first valve body 240 may be adjusted by the tap handle 103. The main body 200 may further include a control panel 203, and the control panel 203 may be disposed on top of the first housing 201. In the case where the control panel 203 is provided, the first valve body 240 may also be connected to the control panel 203, and the opening degree of the first valve body 240 is controlled by the control panel 203. In one embodiment, the water inlet 213 of the first pipe 210 may be connected to the water outlet of the raw water pipe supplying raw water. The first pipe 210 may be one pipe or a plurality of pipes. Here and hereinafter "first" is used merely to distinguish similar objects, and not to limit the number of described objects. The terms "second" and "third" are used hereinafter as well merely for distinguishing between similar objects and not for limiting the number of objects described. For example, in a more specific embodiment, a water heater may be connected upstream of the first conduit 210. The first conduit 210 may include a cold water port 212 and a hot water port 211 at its water inlet 213, as shown in fig. 2-3. The cold water port 212 and the hot water port 211 may be connected with a cold water pipe and a hot water pipe (not shown in the drawing), respectively. The cold water pipe and the hot water pipe may be connected to the first valve body 240, and the water temperature is controlled by the first valve body 240. The cold and hot water flows through the first valve body 240 and then merges into a water flow, and flows through the first pipeline 210 downstream of the first valve body 240 to the water intake end 102. The first pipe 210 and the second pipe 220, which will be described further later, may be formed of flexible pipes, rigid pipes, or various pipes that may occur in the future as known in the art, without limitation. The first valve body 240 may be various valve bodies such as a manual valve and an electric valve, and is not limited herein. The first valve body 240 may control the on-off of the first pipe 210. When the first valve body 240 is opened, the water inlet 213 of the first pipe 210 communicates with the water outlet 214 thereof. The user may access water flowing from the first conduit 210 at the water intake 102. When the first valve body 240 is closed, the water inlet 213 of the first pipe 210 and the water outlet 214 thereof are not communicated. The first valve body 240 and the first conduit 210 may perform the conventional functions of the faucet 100.

The atomizer 300 may have a water reservoir. The water reservoir may communicate with a water reservoir within the atomizer 300. The type of atomizer 300 is various and is not limited herein. The atomizer 300 may also typically have an outlet 301 and an atomizing switch. The mist outlet 301 may be one or more. When a user turns on the atomizing switch of the atomizer 300, the atomizer 300 can spray the water in the water storage cavity from the mist outlet 301 in an atomized state. The user aligns the mist outlet 301 with the skin to be moisturized, and can moisturize the skin at the corresponding position. To create a finer spray and to reduce skin damage from impurities in the water, the atomizer 300 typically accumulates higher quality water, such as clean water. The water inlet 223 of the second conduit 220 may be located at the water inlet end 101. When the atomizer 300 is connected to the main body 200, the water outlet 224 of the second pipe 220 may be connected with the water storage port. In one embodiment, a valve body for controlling the on/off of the second pipeline 220 may be disposed on the second pipeline. When a user opens the valve body for controlling the on-off of the second pipeline 220 as required, the water inlet 223 of the second pipeline 220 is communicated with the water outlet 224 thereof. When the user closes the valve body for controlling the on-off of the second pipeline 220 as required, the water inlet 223 of the second pipeline 220 is not communicated with the water outlet 224 thereof. In another embodiment, the second pipeline 220 may not be provided with a valve body for controlling the on-off state of the second pipeline. For example, the water inlet 223 of the second pipe 220 may be connected to a water purifier. The purifier may be communicatively coupled to the faucet 100. The on-off of the second pipeline 220 can be controlled by the water purifier. When the user needs the water outlet 224 of the second pipeline 220 to supply the purified water, the switch of the water purifier can be turned on, and the water outlet 224 of the second pipeline 220 can flow out the purified water. When the user needs the water outlet 224 of the second pipeline 220 to stop supplying the purified water, the switch of the water purifier can be turned off, and the water outlet 224 of the second pipeline 220 stops flowing the purified water. The atomizer 300 and the second conduit 220 may add additional functionality to the faucet 100, meeting the cosmetic need of a user to atomize and replenish water to the skin through the faucet 100. Typically, the water inlet 213 of the first conduit 210 communicates with a different water source than the water inlet 223 of the second conduit 220. Of course, in some cases, the water inlet 213 of the first pipeline 210 and the water inlet 223 of the second pipeline 220 may be connected to the same water source, which is not limited herein. The working principle of the faucet 100 will be described by taking the example that the water inlet 213 of the first pipeline 210 is connected with the water inlet 223 of the second pipeline 220.

The atomizer 300 can be detachably connected to the main body 200. The detachable connection may be variously connected, and is not limited herein. As previously described, the body 200 may include the second housing 202 that secures the atomizer 300. The second housing 202 may have a ring shape, and the atomizer 300 is detachably inserted into the second housing 202. In an embodiment in which the main body 200 includes the first and second cases 201 and 202, through holes 271 may be provided in the first and second cases 201 and 202, as shown in fig. 7 to 8. The water outlet 224 of the second pipe 220 may pass through the through hole 271. When the atomizer 300 is connected to the main body 200, the water outlet 224 of the second pipe 220 may be connected with the water storage port. Typically, the faucet 100 is mounted on a cabinet or bathroom cabinet basin, which is typically 80-95cm above the floor. When the atomizer 300 is connected to the faucet 100, the user needs to bend over for a long time to experience a very bad feeling when opening the faucet 100 to perform atomization water replenishment. If the user wants to replenish the skin in a more comfortable place, for example, leaning on a sofa, sitting on a stool, lying on a bed, etc., at this time, the user can detach the atomizer 300 from the main body 200, and further the subsequent atomization moisturizing operation can perform atomization in a very comfortable place, thereby greatly improving the user's experience and satisfaction.

The faucet 100 provided by the utility model is provided with the first pipeline 210 and the second pipeline 220 which are independent from each other, and the first valve body 240 is arranged on the first pipeline 210 so as to realize the conventional functions of the faucet 100. The second pipe 220 is connected to the atomizer 300 to supply atomized water. The user can use the atomized water to replenish the skin, thereby greatly widening the applicable scenarios of the faucet 100. Furthermore, the dual arrangement of the first and second pipes 210 and 220 allows the faucet 100 to take water and provide atomized water at the same time, although the two functions may alternatively be used without interference. In addition, since the first and second pipes 210 and 220 are independent from each other, the atomizer 300 can be detachably connected to the main body 200, and the normal water intake of the first pipe 210 is not affected even after the atomizer 300 is detached. After the atomizer 300 is taken down, the user can flexibly use the atomizer under a proper scene, and the experience and satisfaction of the user are greatly improved. When the atomizer 300 is mounted on the main body 200 at the end of use, the second pipe 220 may store water into the atomizer 300 through the water storage port. In addition, the first and second pipes 210 and 220 may be independent of each other such that they are connected to different water sources, respectively, for example, the second pipe 220 may be connected to a purified water source to ensure the purity of atomized water, thereby improving the flexibility of use of the faucet 100.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 3, 4 and 7, the body 200 may also have a third conduit 230. The third conduit 230 may be formed of flexible tubing, rigid tubing, or various tubing that may be present in the future as known in the art, and is not limited herein. The water inlet 231 of the third conduit 230 may be connected to the rear section 222 of the second conduit 220. It should be noted that, herein and hereinafter, the "rear section 222" refers to a section of the second pipe 220 near the water storage port of the atomizer 300, and the "front section 221" hereinafter, refers to a section of the second pipe 220 near the water inlet end 101. The rear section 222 is located downstream of the front section 221. The water outlet 232 of the third conduit 230 may be located at the water intake 102. The third pipeline 230 and the second pipeline 220 may be welded, adhered, or three-way pipe connected, and the third pipeline 230 and the second pipeline 220 may be an integral piece, which is not limited herein. As shown in FIG. 7, the faucet 100 may also include a third valve body 260. A third valve body 260 may be disposed on the third line 230. The third valve body 260 may be various valve bodies such as a manual valve and an electric valve, and is not limited thereto. The third valve body 260 can control the on-off of the third pipeline 230. When the third valve body 260 is opened, the third pipe 230 communicates with the second pipe 220. In the case where the second pipeline 220 is connected to a water purifier, a user may access purified water at the water intake end 102 through the water outlet 232 of the third pipeline 230. So configured, a user can access water flowing from the first conduit 210 at the water intake end 102 of the faucet 100. For example, to take in raw water. The user may also access water, such as clean water, flowing from the third conduit 230 at the water intake end 102 of the faucet 100. In addition, the water in the second pipeline 220 can be split to store water in the atomizer 300. By providing the third conduit 230, a further function of the tap 100 is added, improving the user experience.

Illustratively, the faucet 100 may also include an atomizer water storage operation member and a control module. The water storage operating member of the mist device can be various existing operating members such as keys, knobs, voice-operated switches, touch screens and the like or other operating members possibly appearing in the future, and is not limited herein. The atomizer water storage operation member may be provided at a position on the main body 200 convenient for a user to operate. Illustratively, the atomizer water storage operating member and the control module may be provided on the aforementioned control panel 203. Typically, the water inlet 223 of the second pipe 220 may be connected to a water purifier, and the water output of the water purifier is typically small. If the second conduit 220 supplies water to both the third conduit 230 and the atomizer 300, then the water flow for the water storage of the atomizer 300 will be smaller. Preferably, a control module may be connected to the third valve body 260 and the atomizer water storage operation member, the control module being for controlling the third valve body 260 to close in response to a user's operation of the atomizer water storage operation member. When the user wants to store water for the atomizer 300, the atomizer 300 may be mounted to the main body 200, and then the atomizer water storage operation member may be operated, and the atomizer water storage operation member may correspondingly output a water storage signal, and the control module may control the third valve body 260 to be closed based on the water storage signal. In this way, the water entering the second conduit 220 may be used entirely for supplying the atomizer 300, and the atomizer 300 may store water quickly.

The third valve body 260 may be a normally open solenoid valve, for example. Typically, the water inlet 223 of the second pipe 220 is connected to the water purifier. When water is required to be taken through the third pipe 230 or water is required to be stored into the atomizer 300, the water purifier is turned on to supply water to the second pipe 220. Otherwise, the water purifier is in a shut-down state to stop the water supply to the second pipe 220. However, the amount of water that the user receives at the water intake 102 through the third conduit 230 will be much greater than the amount of water that the atomizer 300 needs to store. That is, in the power-on state of the water purifier, the user needs to keep the third pipeline 230 on for a much longer period than the atomizer 300 stores water. When the user does not operate the atomized water storage operation member, the normally open solenoid valve can make the third pipeline 230 unblocked, thereby meeting the requirement that the user frequently accesses purified water through the third pipeline 230. When the user operates the atomization water storage operating member, the control module may control the normally open solenoid valve to close such that the third pipe 230 is disconnected. Of course, the third valve body 260 may be a normally closed electromagnetic valve. In the power-on state of the water purifier, when the user needs to take the purified water from the third pipeline 230, the control module may control the normally closed solenoid valve to be opened. In contrast, the use of the normally open solenoid valve as the third valve body 260 may shorten the power supply period of the third valve body 260, thereby reducing the power consumption of the faucet 100 and extending the service life of the third valve body 260.

Illustratively, as shown in FIG. 7, the faucet 100 may further include a pressure relief valve 250 disposed on the second conduit 220. The pressure reducing valve 250 may be disposed at the front section 221 of the second pipe 220 or at the rear section 222 of the second pipe 220, as shown in fig. 7. Preferably, the pressure relief valve 250 is disposed in the rear section 222 of the second conduit 220, i.e., adjacent to the atomizer 300. Typically, the water inlet 223 of the second pipeline 220 is in communication with a water purifier. The water outlet pressure of the water purifier is large, and the water pressure that can be born by the water storage related parts of the atomizer 300 is small. After the water flows from the water inlet 223 of the second pipeline 220 to the water storage port of the atomizer 300 through the pressure reducing valve 250, the water pressure is reduced, and the impact of the water on the water storage related components of the atomizer 300 is avoided. Thereby extending the life of the atomizer 300.

For example, a one-way valve may be provided at the water outlet 224 of the second conduit 220. The conduction direction of the one-way valve is opposite to the water flow direction. That is, the water pressure in the second pipe 220 does not cause the check valve to be conducted, but rather the greater the water pressure in the second pipe 220, the tighter the check valve is sealed. However, the check valve is configured to be pushed open by the atomizer 300 in the mounted state of the atomizer 300. For example, a protrusion may be provided in the water storage port of the atomizer 300, and when the water storage port is connected to the water outlet 224 of the second pipeline 220, the protrusion may extend into the water outlet 224 of the second pipeline 220, pushing up the check valve. In this way, it is ensured that the water outlet 224 of the second conduit 220 is only opened after the atomizer 300 is mounted in place on the main body 200, avoiding water leakage from the water outlet 224. With the third pipe 230, even if the water purifier is turned on and the atomizer 300 is not mounted to the main body 200, normal use of the tap 100 can be ensured. And the one-way valve is not an electronically controlled element, the cost of the faucet 100 will be lower.

Of course, the above-mentioned check valve can also be replaced by electromagnetic valve, or additionally set up electromagnetic valve on the basis of check valve. This will be described in more detail later. In the case where the third pipe 230 is not provided, the check valve may not be provided, and the water flow in the second pipe 220 may be controlled by only the switch of the water purifier.

Illustratively, the body 200 may also have a position sensor and control module disposed thereon. The position sensor may include, but is not limited to, one or more of a touch position sensor and a proximity position sensor. The position sensor may generate position information when the nebulizer 300 is not connected to the body 200 (e.g., the nebulizer 300 is detached or not mounted in place on the body 200). The rear section 222 of the second conduit 220 may be provided with a second valve body (not shown). The second valve body may be various types of electrically controlled valves. In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, when the rear section 222 of the second pipeline 220 is connected to the third pipeline 230, a connection interface may be formed at a connection position between the rear section 222 and the third pipeline 230, and the second valve body may be disposed on the second pipeline 220 downstream of the connection interface. Thus, the third conduit 230 may also be in communication when the second valve body is closed. The second valve body may be connected to the control module. The control module may be configured to control the shut-off of the second valve body based on the position information. Therefore, the tap can avoid water leakage at the water outlet 224 of the second pipeline 220, and the water leakage problem can not occur even if a user turns on the water purifier by misoperation.

As shown in fig. 5-6, for example, the end of the atomizer 300 may be provided with a boss 302, and the main body 200 may be provided with a fitting hole 272 adapted to the boss 302. The position sensor may be disposed within the fitting hole 272. When the atomizer 300 is in place, the boss 302 may be inserted into the mounting hole 272 and detected by the position sensor.

Illustratively, a water volume detector may be provided on the nebulizer 300 and/or the body 200. The water volume detector may include a water volume detector known or likely to occur in the future, such as a liquid level sensor, a load cell, etc., without limitation. In case the water amount detector is a liquid level sensor, it may be provided on the atomizer 300 for detecting the amount of water in the atomizer 300 and generating water amount information. The control module can be used for controlling the on-off of the second valve body according to the water quantity information. The second valve body may in this case be an electrically controlled valve of various types, for example. As can be seen from the foregoing, when the atomizer 300 is not connected to the main body 200, the control module controls the second valve body to be closed based on the detection result of the position sensor. Next, the description will be continued with respect to the case when the atomizer 300 is connected to the main body 200, and when the liquid level sensor detects that the atomizer 300 is in the full water state, the control module controls the second valve body to be closed without storing water for the atomizer 300. When the liquid level detector detects that the atomizer 300 is in a water shortage state, the control module controls the second valve body to be opened, so that water can be stored for the atomizer 300. When the atomizer 300 is full of water, the control module can control the second valve body to be closed according to the detection result of the liquid level detector, so that excessive water storage is avoided. In case the water quantity detector is a load cell, it may be provided on the body 200, for example on the second housing 202. The load cell is used to detect the weight of the atomizer 300 and generate water quantity information. The control module can be used for controlling the on-off of the second valve body according to the water quantity information. The control principle of the control module is similar to that described above with respect to the level sensor and will not be further described herein.

By providing the water amount detector and the control module, the tap 100 can automatically and accurately identify whether the atomizer 300 is deficient in water, and open the second valve body to automatically store water for the atomizer 300 when the water is deficient. In addition, the tap 100 can automatically stop water storage after the water storage of the atomizer 300 is full, so that the automation degree of water storage is greatly improved, and the possibility of water leakage of the water outlet 224 of the second pipeline 220 is reduced.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 2, 3, and 7, the faucet 100 may also include a heater 400. The heater 400 may be disposed at the front section 221 of the second pipe 220. The heater 400 may heat the water entering the second pipe 220. Thus, when the water flowing out of the second pipeline 220 enters the atomizer 300, the temperature of the water mist generated by the atomizer 300 is higher, so that when a user uses the atomizer 300 of the faucet 100 to atomize and supplement water, the water supplementing and moisturizing effects can be improved. The heater 400 may employ various types of heaters 400 known in the art or that may occur in the future. Preferably, the heater 400 may comprise a thick film heater 400. The thick film heater 400 is small in size and high in heating efficiency. The faucet 100 employing the thick film heater 400 is relatively compact and thus can be used more widely in a scene. The heater 400 may provide water of a proper temperature to the atomizer 300, and may improve the effects of water replenishment and moisture preservation when a user performs atomization water replenishment using the atomizer 300 of the faucet 100. And, the body sense that the water mist with higher temperature is sprayed on the skin is more comfortable, and the use experience of the user is better. As shown in fig. 3 and 7, the benefits of the heater 400 are more apparent, especially in the case where the third conduit 230 is provided.

Illustratively, the faucet 100 may also include a temperature sensor and a control module. The temperature sensor may employ various types of temperature sensors known in the art or which may occur in the future. The control module may be electrically connected to the temperature sensor and the heater 400. The temperature sensor may detect the temperature of the water in the second conduit 220, assumed to be t1. The user may also set a desired temperature value, say t2, for the water temperature in the second conduit 220 as desired. The control module is used to control the heater 400 according to t1 and t2. The temperature sensor transmits the detected temperature value to the control module, which can compare t1 and t2 to control the heater 400. For example, when the control module finds that t1 is less than t2 after the comparison, the control module may control the heater 400 to continue to operate so that the heater 400 heats the water temperature of the second pipe 220 to t2 set by the user. When t1 is equal to or greater than t2 after comparison, the control module may control the heater 400 to stop working, so that the heater 400 does not continue to heat the second pipeline 220, and the water temperature gradually decreases to t2 set by the user. In this process, the temperature sensor can monitor the water temperature of the second pipeline 220 in real time, so that the water temperature of the second pipeline 220 can be ensured to reach the set temperature of the user. In winter, the user sets a higher temperature value, and the control module can match the water temperature of the second pipeline 220 to a corresponding temperature. In summer, the user may set a lower temperature value and the control module may also match the water temperature of the second conduit 220 to a corresponding temperature. So configured, the faucet 100 can regulate the outlet water of the second pipeline 220 to a temperature value set by a user according to different demands of the user, so as to satisfy the demands of the user in different seasons. And the experience of the user is improved.

Illustratively, as shown in FIG. 7, the faucet 100 may further include a flow sensor 500 disposed on the second conduit 220. The flow sensor 500 may be electrically connected to the control module. The control module may further control the heater 400 according to the flow rate in the second pipeline 220 detected by the flow sensor 500. The flow sensor 500 may detect the flow in the second conduit 220. When a user operates the atomizer water storage operation member to desire to store water to the atomizer 300, a situation may occur in which the water outlet of the faucet 100 is intermittent or impossible due to a low water pressure or a water cut-off at the water supply. When the water flow in the second pipe 220 is low or there is little water, dry burning will occur if the heater 400 is still in operation. By providing the flow sensor 500, the flow sensor 500 can detect the flow of the second pipe 220 in real time. The control module may control the heater 400 based on the flow. For example, when the flow sensor 500 detects zero flow or an extremely unstable/fluctuating flow, the control module may turn off the heater 400, preventing the heater 400 from dry burning. The control module may turn on the heater 400 when the flow sensor 500 detects a non-zero value or a continuously steady value of flow. The flow sensor 500 may employ various types of flow sensors 500 known in the art or as may occur in the future. So set up, control module can be according to the switch of flow control heater 400 of flow sensor 500 real-time transmission, prevents that heater 400 from taking place the state of dry combustion method under anhydrous condition, has played the effect of protection heater 400, has prolonged the life of heater 400.

Illustratively, as shown in FIG. 7, the faucet 100 may also include a charging module 600. The charging module 600 may be electrically connected to the control module. The charging module 600 may charge the atomizer 300 when the atomizer 300 is connected to the main body 200. The charging module 600 may employ various types of charging modules 600 known in the art or as may occur in the future. It should be noted that, the charging module 600 has a waterproof function. For example, the contactless charging module 600 may charge the atomizer 300 when the atomizer 300 and the main body 200 are in an induction charging range. When fully charged, the charging module 600 may stop charging the nebulizer 300. So configured, the charging module 600 may automatically charge the atomizer 300 when the atomizer 300 is connected to the main body 200.
