In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the diaphragm 32 also has a pin 324 matched with the water replenishment hole 323 to prevent foreign matter from blocking the water replenishment hole 323 (refer to FIG. 8). When the diaphragm 32 is working, the movable diaphragm 322 drives the movable diaphragm 321 to move.
[0049] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the electromagnet 312 is transversely arranged in the valve cover 311, and the water inlet channel 316 and the water outlet channel 317 are located on the side of the valve cover 311 close to the valve core 314. It is true that in other embodiments of the present invention, the electromagnet 312 may be installed at other suitable angles. The water inlet channel 316 and the water outlet channel 317 are appropriately adjusted according to the installation position of the electromagnet 312.
[0050] The end cover 5 is provided with a water inlet 51 communicating with the water inlet cavity 14. The end cover 5 seals the rear end of the housing 1 except for the water inlet cavity 14. The power cord (not shown) connected to the circuit board 21 is connected through the outlet 52 of the end cover 5 and connected to the external power source of the automatic water outlet device. The external power source may be a DC power source or an AC power source.
[0051] In another embodiment of the present invention, the end cap 5 is not necessary, it can be replaced by a sealing material, and only the area of the housing 1 that needs to be sealed except for the water inlet cavity 14 is effectively sealed.

CN 101725755 Β
At the position of the end face of the front end of the housing. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the water outlet assembly 4 and the third receiving cavity 13 are provided with threads, which are installed on the housing 1 through a threaded connection. Of course, the connection mode of the water outlet assembly 4 and the housing 1 is not limited to this, and connection modes such as screw installation or welding fixation can also be used.
[0055] FIG. 8 is a schematic partial cross-sectional view taken along the line E-E in FIG. 5. The E-E line is cut on the straight line where the centers of the diaphragm 32 and the water supplement hole 323 are located. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 8, the solenoid valve assembly 3 is inserted into the second receiving cavity 12 from the rear end surface of the housing 1. After the solenoid valve assembly 3 is installed, the diaphragm 32 is located between the water inlet cavity 14 and the third receiving cavity 13. The movement of the diaphragm 32 can make the water inlet cavity 14 communicate with the third receiving cavity 13 or be blocked. After the water outlet assembly 4 is installed in the third accommodating cavity 13, the water inlet cavity 14 communicates with the third accommodating cavity 13 or is blocked, that is, the water inlet cavity 14 communicates with the water outlet assembly 4 or is blocked. When the diaphragm 32 is blocked between the water inlet cavity 14 and the third containing cavity 13 by the water pressure in the membrane cavity 33, the water inlet cavity 14 and the third containing cavity 13 are blocked. The water flow is sealed in the water inlet cavity 14. As shown in the current state shown in FIG. 8, the diaphragm 32 is blocked between the water inlet cavity and the third receiving cavity 13. When the water in the membrane cavity 33 is released, the membrane 32 moves in the direction of the membrane cavity 33. The water inlet cavity 14 communicates with the third receiving cavity 13. In this way, the water flow in the water inlet cavity 14 can flow into the third receiving cavity 13 and be discharged from the water outlet assembly 4.
[0056] After the solenoid valve assembly 3 is installed on the housing 1, the through hole 15 is butted with the water outlet channel 317. Therefore, the water flow reaching the water outlet channel 317 enters the third receiving cavity 13 through the through hole 15 and can be discharged from the water outlet assembly 4. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, for sealing considerations, a part of the diaphragm 32 is located between the water outlet channel 317 and the through hole 15. Therefore, the diaphragm 32 is also provided with a small hole 325 so that the small hole 325 It is connected with the water outlet channel 317 and the through hole 15 to form a water flow channel. Of course, it is also possible to directly connect the water outlet channel 317 with the through hole 15 and seal it with an additional sealing element.
[0057] The end cover 5 is installed on the end surface of the rear end of the housing 1 to seal the solenoid valve assembly 3 and the sensor assembly 2, and the water inlet 51 on the end cover 5 butts with the water inlet cavity 14 of the housing 1.
[0058] In this way, the automatic water outlet control device 100 of the present invention is assembled together.
[0059] When in use, the automatic water outlet control device 100 is installed on an automatic water outlet device, such as an automatic induction faucet, an automatic induction urinal, and other automatic kitchen and bathroom products. The automatic water outlet control device 100 is installed at the water outlet position of the automatic water outlet device.
[0060] The following description will take the automatic water outlet control device 100 installed on an automatic sensor faucet as an example. As shown in FIG. 9, the automatic sensor faucet 200 of the present invention includes a body 201 and a water nozzle 202. The automatic water outlet control device 100 is installed at the position of the water nozzle 202 of the automatic sensor faucet 200. The sensor assembly 2 faces the sensing area of the automatic sensing faucet 200. The water outlet assembly 4 faces the use area of the automatic sensor faucet 200. The power cord 9 is connected to an external power source (not shown) of the faucet through the faucet body 201. When the external power supply adopts direct current, the external power supply is installed under the basin where the automatic induction faucet is installed or in the faucet body 201. Further, when conditions such as power consumption and volume permit, the external power supply adopts direct current, such as lithium electronics. The lithium electronics can be directly installed at the rear end of the housing 1 of the automatic water outlet control device 100 or directly into the housing 1, and installed in the faucet 202 of the faucet 200 together with the automatic water outlet control device 100. Therefore, there is no need to connect the faucet body 201 through the power cord 9 to reduce parts and facilitate installation and maintenance.
[0061] The automatic water outlet control device 100 is installed on the faucet faucet 202 by means of threads or screws. After the water flows into the water inlet cavity 14 of the housing 1 from the water inlet pipe of the automatic induction faucet 200, it flows through the water replenishment hole 323 of the diaphragm 32 and enters the diaphragm cavity 33 between the diaphragm 32 and the solenoid valve 31. Further, when water flows into the water inlet channel 316 of the solenoid valve 31 and reaches the initial position of the solenoid 312 spool 314, the solenoid valve 31 is closed, and the solenoid 312 spool 314 is closed.
CN 101725755 Β
It is blocked between the water inlet channel 316 and the water outlet channel 317. The water flow is blocked by the valve core 314 of the electromagnet 312 and cannot flow from the water inlet channel 316 to the water outlet channel 317. At this time, because the amount of water in the membrane cavity 33 is constant, under the action of the water pressure, the membrane 32 is always blocked between the water inlet cavity 14 and the third receiving cavity 13, so that the water flow is sealed between the water inlet cavity 14 and the solenoid valve. Inside the component 3, it cannot flow out of the water outlet component 4.
[0062] When the sensor detects that a target has entered the sensing area, that is, it detects that a human hand enters the faucet sensing area, the processor on the circuit board 21 processes the detection signal, and further controls the solenoid valve 31 to open. After the solenoid valve 31 is opened, the valve core 314 of the solenoid 312 retracts under the action of electromagnetic force and cannot block the water inlet channel 316 and the water outlet channel 317. At this time, the water flows from the water inlet channel 316 to the water outlet channel 317, passes through the small hole 325 and the through hole 15, enters the third receiving cavity 13 and flows out of the water outlet assembly 4. Therefore, the amount of water in the membrane cavity 33 decreases. As a result, the pressure on the side of the diaphragm 32 facing the membrane cavity 33 is reduced. Under the action of pressure, the diaphragm 32 moves in the direction of the diaphragm cavity 33 so that the diaphragm 32 cannot block the water inlet cavity 14 and the third receiving cavity 13. The water inlet cavity 14 is connected to the third receiving cavity 13, and the water flow can directly flow from the water inlet cavity 14 into the third receiving cavity 13 and out of the water outlet assembly 4, so as to realize the automatic water outlet of the automatic sensor faucet 200.
[0063] When the sensor detects that the target has left the sensing area, that is, no user uses the automatic sensing faucet 200. The processor processes the detection signal and controls the solenoid valve 31 to close. The solenoid valve 31 is closed, and the valve core 314 returns to the initial position, blocking the water inlet channel 316 and the water outlet channel 317. At this time, the water flow continuously enters the membrane cavity 33 from the water replenishment hole 323 of the diaphragm 32, but cannot flow out from the water outlet channel 317. As a result, the water in the membrane cavity 33 between the diaphragm 32 and the solenoid valve 31 increases again, and the pressure on the side of the diaphragm 32 facing the membrane cavity 33 increases and is greater than the pressure on the side of the diaphragm 32 facing away from the membrane cavity 33. Withstand the pressure of the water. Therefore, the diaphragm 32 moves in a direction away from the membrane cavity 33. In this way, the diaphragm 32 is again blocked between the water inlet cavity 14 and the third receiving cavity 13, and the water flow is sealed in the water inlet cavity 14 and the solenoid valve assembly 3. As a result, the water in the water inlet cavity 14 cannot flow into the third receiving cavity 13, thereby realizing the automatic water stop of the automatic sensor faucet 200. [0064] The movement of the spool 314 of the solenoid valve 31 causes the water inlet channel 316 to communicate with the water outlet channel 317 or is blocked. The movement of the diaphragm 32 can make the water inlet cavity 14 communicate with the third receiving cavity 13 or be blocked. Therefore, the solenoid valve 31 is opened and closed, and the diaphragm 32 is driven to move, so that the third receiving cavity 13 and the water inlet cavity 14 are communicated or blocked, and water is discharged. The water outlet and water stop of the component 4, and finally realize the automatic water outlet or automatic water stop of the automatic sensor faucet 200.
[0065] The automatic water outlet control device 100 of the present invention integrates the sensor assembly 2, the solenoid valve assembly 3 and the water outlet assembly 4 in the housing 1, thereby making the structure more compact and conducive to product miniaturization. When installed on an automatic water outlet device such as an automatic sensor faucet 200, it can be directly installed at the position of the faucet faucet 202, which is convenient for installation and can simplify the structure without adding additional components such as solenoid valve assembly 3 and controller assembly. In this way, the automatic water discharging device installed with the automatic water discharging control device 100 has a more compact structure and convenient installation and maintenance.
[0066] At the same time, the solenoid valve assembly 3 in the automatic water outlet control device 100 of the present invention has a smaller volume and a higher efficiency. The electromagnet 312 is laterally arranged in the valve cover 311 of the solenoid valve 31, and the diaphragm 32 is located below the solenoid valve 31. The valve cover 311 is provided with a water inlet channel 316 and a water outlet channel 317, which are conducted or blocked by the movement of the valve core 314 of the electromagnet 312, so that the solenoid valve assembly 3 is opened or closed. This arrangement allows the solenoid 312 and the valve core 314 to move a short distance, and the solenoid valve assembly 3 can be opened or closed. In the prior art, the solenoid valve core is generally used to directly act on the diaphragm. However, due to the long stroke of the diaphragm movement, the stroke of the valve core movement is also lengthened, which reduces the efficiency of the solenoid valve and the volume cannot be reduced. Therefore, compared with the prior art, the present invention shortens the movement stroke of the electromagnet 312 and the spool 314 through the above structure, and improves the efficiency of the electromagnetic force, thereby making the electromagnet 312 smaller, and finally making the volume of the solenoid valve assembly 3 smaller. Become smaller. Of course, if space permits, the automatic water outlet control device 100 of the present invention can also

The method of using the valve core to directly drive the diaphragm in the prior art is adopted.
[0067] Further, the sensor assembly 2 and the water outlet assembly 4 are installed from the front end of the housing 1, and the solenoid valve assembly 3 is installed from the rear end of the housing 1. The installation of the automatic water outlet control device 100 of the present invention is simple, which is beneficial to production.
[0068] Although the specific embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed above, they are not a limitation of the scope of the present invention. Modifications and changes to the specific implementations described above by those skilled in the art are also included in the scope of the present invention.
