The present invention relates to a water nozzle sprayer with customized system thereof and more particularly to combining a specific industry standard and the internet to intelligently manufacture water nozzle sprayer.
Referring to
However, the conventional water nozzle sprayer has following disadvantages: (i) the spraying hole (621) is integrally formed on the rotatable portion (62) so that the consumers cannot select the spraying types according to their needs or preferences; and (ii) after manufactured, the water nozzle sprayers (60) are distributed to the stores, but when the spraying types of the sprayer (60) do not meet the needs of consumers, it will be dull sales or be returned, leading to higher costs. Therefore, there remains a need for a new and improved design for a water nozzle sprayer with customized system thereof to overcome the problems presented above.
The present invention provides a water nozzle sprayer with customized system thereof comprising a sprayer and a plurality of different spray heads, and the sprayer is adapted to have different number of different spray heads to adjustably perform different patterns. The automated manufacturing of the water nozzle sprayer is processed through a client interface and a manufacturer interface cooperating with an automated machine. Each of the spray heads has a main body, and an identification portion is formed thereon to indicate the color of the main body. The front end of the main body comprises at least one type of spraying holes, and the spray heads are formed with different sizes, shapes, amounts, arrangements of the spraying holes to perform different water patterns. The identification portions having different colors respectively correspond to different types of the spray heads. The client interface and the manufacturer interface are connected through the internet, so that, through the client interface, customer is configured to remotely select and order his customized spray heads of the sprayer, and the manufacturer is adapted to pick up materials and manufacture the customized spray heads installed on the sprayer through the automated machine according to the order received in the manufacturer interface, so as to complete automatic customized manufacturing process. The automated machine comprises at least a material house, an automated picking machine, and an automated assembly machine, and the material house has a plurality of storing locations to respectively place different spray heads which respectively have different identification portions and spraying holes. The automated picking machine and the automated assembly machine respectively have recognition devices thereon to recognize the identification portions of the spray heads, thereby achieving precise picking and assembling of the full automatic process.
Comparing with conventional water nozzle sprayer, the present invention is advantageous because: (i) it is more convenient for consumers when the types and arrangement of the spray heads on the sprayer can be adjusted by themselves according to their actual needs; (ii) the water nozzle sprayer is customized after receiving orders, which lowers the inventory pressure, manufacturing cost, and problems due to return and replacement; and (iii) the manufacturing process of the water nozzle sprayer goes through industry 4.0, which is combined with the internet to realize intelligent production that uses of advanced intelligent algorithm, so as to provide the best scheduling, to shorten the delivery time, and to carry out quality and diversified production.
