Intelligent control faucet

Abstract

An intelligent control faucet includes a faucet body with a manual operation valve, an intelligent control module, a water outflow tube, a cold water inflow tube, a hot water inflow tube, and a magnetic induction device. The water outflow tube, the cold water inflow tube and the hot water inflow tube are connected to the manual operation valve. The intelligent control module is connected in series with the water outflow tube. The magnetic induction device is installed on the water outflow tube and connected through a feeder cable or directly to the intelligent control module. Water flow can be established or cut off through pulling the water inflow tube so that the use is made easy.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An intelligent control faucet, comprising a faucet body with a manual operation valve, an intelligent control module, a water outflow tube, a cold water inflow tube, a hot water inflow tube and a sprayer that is connected to the water outflow tube through a pull-out hose; the water outflow tube, the cold water inflow tube and the hot water inflow tube being connected to the manual operation valve that is mounted inside the faucet body; the intelligent control module being connected in series with the water outflow tube; characterized in that: the intelligent control faucet further comprises a magnetic induction device, the magnetic induction device is installed on the water outflow tube and connected through a feeder cable or directly to the intelligent control module. 
     
     
         2 . The intelligent control faucet as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising an infrared sensor, the infrared sensor comprising a sensing window mounted to a front side of the faucet body and a sensor chip, the sensing window having a lower end coupled to a rubber sealing block and a waterproof connector to connect through a feeder cable to the intelligent control module, the sensor chip being mounted through a rubber block at a location behind the sensing window, the infrared sensor being mounted to the faucet body that is mounted on a countertop and being connected, through a feeder cable or directly, to the intelligent control module. 
     
     
         3 . The intelligent control faucet as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the magnetic induction device comprises a Hall element and a magnetic activation mechanism that functions to activate the Hall element, and the Hall element is mounted in the faucet body to face a moving path of the magnetic activation mechanism and is connected through a feeder cable or directly to the intelligent control module. 
     
     
         4 . The intelligent control faucet as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the magnetic activation mechanism is mounted to the pull-out hose, and the magnetic activation mechanism controls activation/deactivation of the Hall element to control communication between the water outflow tube and the pull-out hose. 
     
     
         5 . The intelligent control faucet as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the magnetic activation mechanism is a magnetic ring mounted on the pull-out hose. 
     
     
         6 . The intelligent control faucet as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the pull-out hose comprises a first hose and a second hose, the magnetic activation mechanism is mounted between the first hose and the second hose, the first hose has a connection end connected with a secondary metallic fitting, the second hose has a connection end connected with a primary metallic fitting, the two metallic fittings collectively form a sealed coupling therebetween through inter-fitting between the primary and secondary fittings, the secondary metallic fitting is adapted to receive the magnetic ring to fit thereto, when the pull-out hose retracts back to a home position inside the faucet body, the magnetic ring is located in a spatial range that deactivates the Hall element. 
     
     
         7 . The intelligent control faucet as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein protection sleeves are provided outside the secondary metallic fitting, the primary metallic fitting, and the magnetic ring, respectively.
