The valve core of the metal comprises a nut, a control rod and a throttle plate. The nut is used to fix the lower portion of the lever and the throttle plate in the spool body 160. One of the jaw-shaped perforations of the throttle plate corresponds to the other end of the mixing channel 166. When the control rod rotates the throttle plate, the overlapping area of the 穿孔-shaped perforation and the mixing flow path 166 can be adjusted (that is, the flow of the fluid from the mixed flow path 166 into the cavity of the valve block 154b is adjusted) Then, the fluid in the cavity of the valve block 154b flows into the mixed flow outlet 168 through the cavity. Therefore, the valve block 154b can be used to control whether the inductive water supply device 100 supplies water and water supply flow.

本發明之感應式給水方法有下列多種實施態樣:第一實施態樣為開關(ON/OFF)控制模式:參考圖6a,該第一感測器122a感測到該外來物體(例如手104)的出現時,該第一感測訊號為一開啟訊號,進而使該感應式給水裝置100給水;以及該第一感測器122a感測到該外來物體的消失時,該第一感測訊號為一關閉訊號,進而使該感應式給水裝置100不給水。舉例,該第一微處理器132接收該開啟訊號或關閉訊號而產生一控制訊號,該第二微處理器142接收該控制訊號而產生一驅動訊號,該驅動器152b依據該驅 動訊號而驅動該閥組154b,用以控制該感應式給水裝置100之是否給水。 The inductive water supply method of the present invention has the following various embodiments: The first embodiment is an ON/OFF control mode: Referring to FIG. 6a, the first sensor 122a senses the foreign object (for example, the hand 104). When the first sensor signal is an open signal, the inductive water supply device 100 is supplied with water; and the first sensor 122a senses the disappearance of the foreign object, the first sensing signal As a turn-off signal, the inductive water supply device 100 is not supplied with water. For example, the first microprocessor 132 receives the enable signal or the shutdown signal to generate a control signal, and the second microprocessor 142 receives the control signal to generate a driving signal, and the driver 152b is configured according to the drive. The valve group 154b is driven by a signal to control whether the inductive water supply device 100 supplies water.

When the first time (for example, can be set to 2 seconds), the second sensing signal is an opening signal, so that the inductive water supply device 100 is supplied with water; and when only the second sensor 122b is secondarily sensed When the appearance and disappearance of the foreign object does not exceed the first time (for example, 2 seconds), the second sensing signal is a shutdown signal, so that the inductive water supply device 100 does not supply water. For example, the first microprocessor 132 receives the enable signal or the shutdown signal to generate a control signal, the second microprocessor 142 receives the control signal to generate a driving signal, and the driver 152b drives the valve according to the driving signal. Group 154b is used to control whether the inductive water supply device 100 supplies water.

第三實施態樣為流量控制模式:參考圖6c,當該感應式給水裝置100持續給水(例如該感應式給水裝置100先進入第一或第二實施態樣中之開關控制模式的給水狀態),且只有該第二感測器122b感測到該外來物體(例如手104)的出現超過一第二時間(例如可設定為3秒)時,則該第二感測訊號為一流量增加訊號或一流量減少訊號,使該感應式給水裝置100給水之流量會持續增加或減少,其中該第二時間須大於該第一時間,以避免該感應式給水裝置100仍停留在第二實施態樣中開關控制模式的給水狀態;以及當該感應式給水裝置100給水之流量持續增加或減少,且只有該第二感測器122b感測到該外來物體的消失超過該第二時間時,則該第二感測訊號為一流量維持訊號,使該感應式給水裝置100給水之流量被維持不變。舉例,該第一微處理器132接收該流量增加訊號、流量減少訊號或流量維持訊號而產生一控制訊號,該第二微處理器142接收該控制訊號而產生一驅動訊號,該驅動器152b依據該驅動訊號而驅動該閥組154b,用以控制 該感應式給水裝置100之給水流量。 The third embodiment is a flow control mode: Referring to FIG. 6c, when the inductive water supply device 100 continues to supply water (for example, the inductive water supply device 100 first enters the water supply state of the switch control mode in the first or second embodiment) And the second sensing signal is a flow increase signal only when the second sensor 122b senses that the foreign object (for example, the hand 104) appears for more than a second time (for example, can be set to 3 seconds). Or a flow reduction signal, the flow rate of the feed water of the inductive water supply device 100 is continuously increased or decreased, wherein the second time must be greater than the first time to prevent the inductive water supply device 100 from remaining in the second embodiment. a water supply state of the middle switch control mode; and when the flow rate of the feed water of the inductive water supply device 100 continues to increase or decrease, and only the second sensor 122b senses that the disappearance of the foreign object exceeds the second time, then The second sensing signal is a flow maintaining signal, so that the flow rate of the water supply to the inductive water supply device 100 is maintained. For example, the first microprocessor 132 receives the traffic increase signal, the traffic reduction signal or the traffic maintenance signal to generate a control signal, and the second microprocessor 142 receives the control signal to generate a driving signal, and the driver 152b according to the Drive the signal to drive the valve block 154b for control The feed water flow rate of the inductive water supply device 100.

該感應式給水裝置給水之流量持續增加或減少的模式是指以多個設定值設定,該感應式給水裝置給水之流量由一最低設定值漸增至一最高設定值,再由該最高設定值漸減至該最低設定值,不斷重複。舉例,設定第1級、第2級、第3級、第4級及第5級設定值,該感應式給水裝置給水之流量可由該第1級、第2級、第3級、第4級漸增至該第5級,再由該第5級、第4級、第3級、第2級減至該第1級,不斷重複。例如,設定第1級為10公升/分鐘,每一級增加2公升/分鐘,則第1級是最低設定值為10公升/分鐘,而第5級是最高設定值為18公升/分鐘。 The mode of continuously increasing or decreasing the flow rate of the feed water supply device of the inductive water supply device is set by a plurality of set values, and the flow rate of the feed water supply device of the inductive water supply device is gradually increased from a minimum set value to a highest set value, and then the highest set value is used. Gradually reduce to the lowest setting and repeat. For example, setting the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth set values, the flow rate of the inductive water supply device can be from the first, second, third, and fourth levels. Gradually increase to the fifth level, and then the fifth, fourth, third, and second levels are reduced to the first level, and are repeated. For example, if the first level is set to 10 liters/minute, and each level is increased by 2 liters/minute, the first level is the lowest set value of 10 liters/minute, and the fifth level is the highest set value of 18 liters/minute.

第四實施態樣為溫度控制模式:參考圖6d,當該感應式給水裝置100持續給水(例如該感應式給水裝置100先進入第一或第二實施態樣中之開關控制模式的給水狀態),且只有該第三感測器122c感測到該外來物體(例如手104)的出現超過一第三時間(例如可設定為3秒)時,則該第三感測訊號為一溫度增加訊號或一溫度減少訊號,使該感應式給水裝置100給水之溫度會持續增加或減少;以及當該感應式給水裝置100給水之溫度持續增加或減少,且只有該第三感測器122c感測到該外來物體的消失超過該第三時間時,則該第三感測訊號為一溫度維持訊號,使該感應式給水裝置給水之溫度被維持不變。舉例,該第一微處理器132接收該溫度增加訊號、溫度減少訊號或溫度維持訊號而產生一控制訊號,該第二微處理器142接收該控制訊號而產生一驅動訊號,該驅動器152a依據該驅動訊號而驅動該閥組154a,用以控制該感應式給水裝置100之給水溫度。 The fourth embodiment is a temperature control mode: Referring to FIG. 6d, when the inductive water supply device 100 continues to supply water (for example, the inductive water supply device 100 first enters the water supply state of the switch control mode in the first or second embodiment) And the third sensing signal is a temperature increasing signal when the third sensor 122c senses that the foreign object (for example, the hand 104) appears for more than a third time (for example, can be set to 3 seconds). Or a temperature reduction signal, the temperature of the feed water of the inductive water supply device 100 is continuously increased or decreased; and when the temperature of the feed water of the inductive water supply device 100 is continuously increased or decreased, and only the third sensor 122c senses When the disappearance of the foreign object exceeds the third time, the third sensing signal is a temperature maintenance signal, so that the temperature of the feed water of the inductive water supply device is maintained. For example, the first microprocessor 132 receives the temperature increase signal, the temperature decrease signal or the temperature maintenance signal to generate a control signal, and the second microprocessor 142 receives the control signal to generate a drive signal, and the driver 152a according to the The valve group 154a is driven by a drive signal for controlling the feed water temperature of the inductive water supply device 100.

該感應式給水裝置給水之溫度持續增加或減少的模式是指以多個設定值設定,該感應式給水裝置給水之溫度由一最低設定值漸增至一最高設定值,再由該最高設定值漸減至該最低設定值,不斷重複。舉例,設定第1級、第2 級、第3級、第4級及第5級設定值,該感應式給水裝置給水之溫度可由該第1級、第2級、第3級、第4級漸增至該第5級,再由該第5級、第4級、第3級、第2級減至該第1級,不斷重複。例如,設定第1級為攝氏25度,每一級增加5度,則第1級是最低設定值為攝氏25度,而第5級是最高設定值為攝氏45度。 The mode of continuously increasing or decreasing the temperature of the feed water of the inductive water supply device is set by a plurality of set values, and the temperature of the feed water of the inductive water supply device is gradually increased from a minimum set value to a highest set value, and then the highest set value is used. Gradually reduce to the lowest setting and repeat. For example, set level 1, 2 Level, level 3, level 4 and level 5 settings, the temperature of the feed water of the inductive water supply device can be gradually increased from the first level, the second level, the third level, the fourth level to the fifth level, and then From the fifth, fourth, third, and second levels to the first level, the repetition is repeated. For example, if the first level is set to 25 degrees Celsius and each level is increased by 5 degrees, the first level is the lowest setting of 25 degrees Celsius, and the fifth level is the highest setting of 45 degrees Celsius.

另外,在第四實施態樣中之溫度控制模式,每次開始使用該感應式給水裝置100時,給水溫度皆由最低設定值(例如攝氏25度)開始漸增,以避免上次使用的感應式給水裝置100之給水溫度過高。 In addition, in the temperature control mode in the fourth embodiment, each time the inductive water supply device 100 is used, the feed water temperature is gradually increased from the lowest set value (for example, 25 degrees Celsius) to avoid the last used induction. The feed water temperature of the water supply device 100 is too high.

請參考圖7a及7b,在又一實施例中,該感應式給水裝置100更包含一第四感測器122d及一洩流單元180。該第四感測器122d可配置於該殼體110或該主控制電路板130上,用以感測該殼體110上方(例如該主控制電路板130上方)之一外來物體(例如手104)而產生一第四感測訊號。該電子控制單元120電性連接於該第四感測器122d(例如該第四感測器122d可相同於圖2之該第一至第三感測器122a、122b、122c而電性連接於該主控制電路板130之第一微處理器132),用以接收該第四感測訊號而產生一驅動訊號。該洩流單元180連通於一容器106之排水口108,並依據該驅動訊號而控制該容器是否洩流。該第四感測器122d可為紅外線感測器或微波感測器。 Referring to FIGS. 7a and 7b, in another embodiment, the inductive water supply device 100 further includes a fourth sensor 122d and a drain unit 180.

The drain unit 180 is connected to the drain port 108 of a container 106, and controls whether the container is vented according to the driving signal. The fourth sensor 122d can be an infrared sensor or a microwave sensor.

該洩流單元180包括一傳動器184、一排桿頭182及一驅動器186。該驅動器186可藉由一訊號連接線(圖未示)而電性連接於該附屬控制電路板140之第二微處理器142。舉例,該排桿頭182可螺接於該傳動器184之前端,例如該排桿頭182的內螺紋螺接於該傳動器184之前端的外螺紋。該驅動器186以螺旋牙的方式機械連接於該傳動器184。藉由口紅旋轉伸縮原理的螺旋牙設計,將該驅動器186之旋轉運動轉換成該傳動器184之直線運動。 The drain unit 180 includes an actuator 184, a row of heads 182, and a driver 186.

For example, the row of heads 182 can be threaded to the front end of the actuator 184, for example, the internal threads of the row of heads 182 are threaded to the external threads of the front end of the actuator 184. The driver 186 is mechanically coupled to the actuator 184 in a helical manner. The rotary motion of the driver 186 is converted into a linear motion of the actuator 184 by a spiral tooth design of the lipstick rotation and telescopic principle.

本發明之感應式洩流之實施態樣為:參考圖7a,當該第四感測器122d感測到該外來物體的出現時,則該第四感測訊號為一開啟訊號,進而使該容器106洩流;以及參考圖7b,當該第四感測器122d感測到該外來物體消失一預定時間(例如1分鐘)後,則該第四感測訊號為一關閉訊號,進而使該容器106不洩流。舉例,該第一微處理器132接收該開啟訊號或關閉訊號而產生一控制訊號,該第二微處理器142接收該控制訊號而產生一驅動訊號,該驅動器186依據該驅動訊號而驅動該傳動器184及該排桿頭182,用以控制該容器106是否洩流。本發明之洩流單元180在平時可保持關閉該容器106之排水口108,以避免該洩流單元180下方之臭氣外洩。 The embodiment of the inductive bleed of the present invention is as follows: Referring to FIG. 7a, when the fourth sensor 122d senses the appearance of the foreign object, the fourth sensing signal is an opening signal, thereby The container 106 is vented; and referring to FIG. 7b, after the fourth sensor 122d senses that the foreign object disappears for a predetermined time (for example, 1 minute), the fourth sensing signal is a shutdown signal, thereby The container 106 does not vent. For example, the first microprocessor 132 receives the enable signal or the shutdown signal to generate a control signal, the second microprocessor 142 receives the control signal to generate a driving signal, and the driver 186 drives the transmission according to the driving signal. The 184 and the row of heads 182 are used to control whether the container 106 is vented. The bleed unit 180 of the present invention can keep the drain port 108 of the container 106 closed during normal times to prevent odor leakage under the bleed unit 180.

本發明之感應式給水裝置以非接觸方式控制是否給水、給水流量、給水溫度或是否洩流。特別的是,該第一感測器用以感測該殼體之前方的外來物體,只有該第二感測器用以感測該殼體之一側向之外來物體,只有該第三感測器用以感測該殼體之另一側向之外來物體,且該第四感測器用以感測該殼體上方之一外來物體,進而控制是否給水、給水流量、給水溫度或是否洩流。本發明之電子控制單元之主控制電路板之顯示面板,可顯示該感應式給水裝置之給水流量或給水溫度。 The inductive water supply device of the present invention controls whether the water supply, the feed water flow rate, the feed water temperature or whether the flow is discharged in a non-contact manner. In particular, the first sensor is configured to sense a foreign object in front of the housing, and only the second sensor is configured to sense a laterally outward object of the housing, and only the third sensor is used.

The display panel of the main control circuit board of the electronic control unit of the present invention can display the feed water flow rate or the feed water temperature of the inductive water supply device.

圖8a及8b為本發明之第二實施例之感應式給水裝置100’之左視及右視平面示意圖。請參考圖8a及8b,該感應式給水裝置100’包含一殼體110、一電子控制單元120’及一流體控制單元150。第二實施例之感應式給水裝置100’大體上類似第一實施例之感應式給水裝置100,其中類似的元件標示類似的標號。第二實施例之感應式給水裝置100’與第一實施例之感應式給水裝置100之差異在於:第二實施例之感應式給水裝置100’之主控制電路板130’並非配置於該殼體110上或嵌入該殼體110內,亦即該主控制電路板130’與該殼體110被獨立成兩個組件。 8a and 8b are schematic left and right plan views of an inductive water supply device 100' according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Figures 8a and 8b, the inductive water supply device 100' includes a housing 110, an electronic control unit 120' and a fluid control unit 150. The inductive watering device 100' of the second embodiment is substantially similar to the inductive watering device 100 of the first embodiment, wherein like elements are numbered like like numerals. The difference between the inductive water supply device 100' of the second embodiment and the inductive water supply device 100 of the first embodiment is that the main control circuit board 130' of the inductive water supply device 100' of the second embodiment is not disposed in the housing. 110 is embedded in the housing 110, that is, the main control circuit board 130' and the housing 110 are separated into two components.

在本實施例中,該第一至第四感測器122a、122b、122c、122d配置於該主控制電路板130’上,並分別用以感測一外來物體(例如手)而分別產生第一至第四感測訊號。由於該第一感測器122a配置於該主控制電路板130’上,因此該第一感測器122a不可距離該殼體110之給水口112太遠,以避免當感測該殼體110之給水口112下方的外來物體時,發生感測失敗;只有該第二感測器122b(如圖8a所示)用以感測該主控制電路板130’之一側向(例如該殼體110右方)之外來物體;只有該第三感測器122c(如圖8b所示)用以感測該主控制電路板130’之另一側向(例如該殼體110左方)之外來物體;又,該第四感測器122d用以感測該主控制電路板130’上方(例如該殼體110上方)之外來物體。 In this embodiment, the first to fourth sensors 122a, 122b, 122c, and 122d are disposed on the main control circuit board 130', and are respectively used to sense a foreign object (such as a hand) to respectively generate the first One to fourth sensing signals. Since the first sensor 122a is disposed on the main control circuit board 130', the first sensor 122a is not too far from the water supply port 112 of the housing 110 to avoid sensing the housing 110. The sensing failure occurs when the foreign object is below the water supply port 112; only the second sensor 122b (shown in FIG. 8a) is used to sense one side of the main control circuit board 130' (for example, the housing 110) Right side) foreign object; only the third sensor 122c (shown in FIG. 8b) is used to sense the other side of the main control circuit board 130' (for example, the left side of the housing 110) Moreover, the fourth sensor 122d is configured to sense an object outside the main control circuit board 130' (for example, above the housing 110).

由於該主控制電路板130’與該殼體110被獨立成兩個組件,因此該主控制電路板130’可根據使用者需求而固定於適合的位置或隨時可被移動,如此更具有方便性。 Since the main control circuit board 130' and the housing 110 are separately formed into two components, the main control circuit board 130' can be fixed at a suitable position according to user requirements or can be moved at any time, which is more convenient. .
