Embodiments of the present utility model provide a faucet. The tap may be used for water tapping. The faucet may be applied to any suitable scene including, but not limited to, a bathroom, kitchen, or outdoors. The faucet may comprise any suitable type of faucet, including but not limited to a conventional faucet, a water purification faucet, a heating faucet, or a water purification heating faucet. The faucet of the embodiment of the present utility model will be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments.

As shown in fig. 1-2, the faucet may have a water inlet end 101, a water outlet end 102, and a first conduit 110. The first conduit 110 may extend from the water inlet end 101 to the water outlet end 102. The inlet 101 may be connected to a municipal waterway or a water tank or the like. Thus, the water source may supply water that may enter the first conduit 110 through the water inlet end 101 and then exit through the water outlet end 102. The user may take water out of the water end 102.

The faucet may include a heating assembly 200, a flow control assembly 300, a detection assembly (not shown), and a controller 400. The heating assembly 200, the flow control assembly 300, and the sensing assembly may be disposed on the first conduit 110. The heating assembly 200 may heat water entering the first pipe 110 through the water inlet end 101 so that the water outlet end 102 may flow out of the hot water. The heating assembly 200 may vary power to control heating efficiency. The heating assembly 200 may employ various types of heating assemblies known in the art or as may occur in the future. The flow control assembly 300 may vary the opening degree to control the flow of water therethrough. The flow control assembly 300 may employ various types of flow control assemblies known in the art or as may occur in the future. The detection assembly may detect the temperature of the water within the first conduit 110. The detection assembly may employ various types of detection assemblies known in the art or as may occur in the future.

The controller 400 may be located at any suitable location on the faucet. The controller 400 may be implemented by using electronic components such as a timer, a comparator, a register, and a digital logic circuit, or using a processor chip such as a single chip microcomputer, a microprocessor, a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), a Programmable Logic Array (PLA), an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), and peripheral circuits thereof. The controller 400 may be electrically connected to the heating assembly 200, the flow control assembly 300, and the sensing assembly. The controller 400 may be used to adjust the power of the heating assembly 200 according to the water temperature information detected by the detection assembly; and the controller 400 may be used to adjust the opening degree of the flow control assembly 300 according to the water temperature information detected by the detection assembly. In this manner, the controller 400 may adjust the outlet water temperature of the outlet 102.

In practice, the controller 400 may increase the power of the heating assembly 200 and the controller 400 may decrease the opening of the flow control assembly 300 when the water temperature detected by the detection assembly is lower than the user's desired water temperature. In this way, the heating efficiency of the heating assembly 200 is improved, and the flow rate of water passing through the heating assembly 200 is reduced, so that the temperature of the discharged water can be rapidly increased to satisfy the use requirement of a user. Conversely, when the water temperature detected by the detection assembly is higher than the user's desired water temperature, the controller 400 may decrease the power of the heating assembly 200, and the controller 400 may increase the opening degree of the flow control assembly 300. In this way, the heating efficiency of the heating assembly 200 is reduced, and the flow rate of water passing through the heating assembly 200 is increased, so that water can be rapidly discharged to reduce the water temperature, so as to meet the use requirements of users.

In summary, the faucet provided in the embodiment of the present utility model can quickly and accurately adjust the water temperature of water flowing out through the water outlet 102 through the cooperation of the heating assembly 200, the flow control assembly 300, the detection assembly and the controller 400, so that the water temperature meets the use requirement of a user.

The inlet water detection member may be used to detect inlet water temperature information at the inlet water end 101. The outlet water detector may be used to detect outlet water temperature information at the outlet water end 102. Thus, the water temperature information may include inlet water temperature information and outlet water temperature information. The controller 400 may adjust the power of the heating assembly 200 and the opening degree of the flow control assembly 300 according to the inlet water temperature information and the outlet water temperature information.
