Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of water outlet control and temperature control of water outlet faucets, in particular to a wireless faucet module by controlling source water.

BACKGROUND

At present, there are some common problems in water outlet control of faucets: one is wireless connection or wired connection of the sensor during later-stage installation, and the other is a water outlet temperature control mode. For the first problem, it is difficult to install the sensor by wired connection in the later stage, and most faucets are free of installation holes, so wireless connection is a better choice. However, the wireless sensor has the problem of lacking in effective fixing mechanisms, the sensor is easy to get lost, and the existing sensor is generally large in size.

For the second problem, based on the traditional choice of water outlet control mode, no matter cooling only mode or dual-temperature mode is used, the control box is installed before entering the faucet. The control box is internally provided with a solenoid valve, a main board and a battery box. On one hand, the control box is large in volume, high in production cost, large in installation space and heavy in weight, and it needs to be fixed with additional brackets when installing. If cold and hot dual-temperature water control mode needs to be realized, two control boxes need to be installed. In the water control mode, if a certain module is overhauled due to water leakage, an angle valve or a water outlet main gate needs to be closed with both hands.

The solenoid valve 1 includes a first solenoid valve 101 and a second solenoid valve 102. The faucet water pipe 5 includes a first faucet water pipe 201 and a second faucet water pipe 202, wherein one end of the first solenoid valve 101 is connected with a water outlet cold water pipe angle valve, and the other end of the first solenoid valve 101 is connected with the first faucet water pipe 201. One end of the second solenoid valve 102 is connected with a water outlet hot water pipe angle valve, and the other end of the second solenoid valve 102 is connected with a second faucet water pipe 202. The water outlet faucet 11 is provided with a water mixing valve switch, wherein water in the first faucet water pipe 201 and the second faucet water pipe 202 are controlled by the water mixing valve switch to be discharged. Thus, water outlet is controlled at the position of a water outlet source with cold water and hot water angle valves, and a faucet switch similar to a traditional water mixing valve switch is adopted at the tail end, so that few parts are changed during installation, the installation cost is low, and the installation is easy.

Specifically, the wireless sensor 3 includes a main body shell 31 and a sensor 32, wherein the main body shell 31 includes a base 311 and a cover seat 312. An inner ring cavity 311a for the sensor 32 to be embedded is formed in the base 311. A slot hole 312a for the sensor 32 to detect a sensed position is formed in the cover seat 312 in a hollowed-out manner. The base 311 and the cover seat 312 are screwed through threads.
