the self-generating signal emission electronic module 5 is always arranged in a closed space in the mechanism action process, so that the electronic components are prevented from being damaged by water inflow and the like;

the self-generating signal transmitting electronic module 5 is an existing module on the market, has the function of generating power by poking the signal transmitting poking piece 26 once, and transmits a signal outwards by using the generated current without a battery. State 1: when the signal emission shifting piece 26 is shifted to a shifting piece gear I, the self-generating signal emission electronic module 5 can emit a primary signal I to the outside; state 2: the signal emitting shifting sheet 26 shifts to a signal gear II, and the self-generating signal emitting electronic module 5 emits a primary signal II to the outside.

The working principle is as follows:

(1) rotating the handle assembly (from state 2 to state 1) with the spool rod joint 9 restrained; because the valve core rod joint 9 is fixed, the self-generating signal emission electronic module 5 fixedly connected with the valve core rod joint is also fixed; the handle body 3 with the fixed seat 8, the electronic module upper cover 4 and the electronic module lower cover 6 rotates together with the electronic module shell rotating shaft 24 as the axis; because signal transmission plectrum 26 is spacing by electronic module upper cover 4 and electronic module lower cover 6, signal transmission plectrum 26 can be stirred gear I this moment, simultaneously to external transmission signal I.

(2) The electronic module shell limiting boss 25 is limited by the electronic module lower limiting groove 18 to continue rotating at the moment; and then the valve core rod connector 9 rotates downwards with the self-generating signal transmitting electronic module 5.

(3) Rotating the handle assembly (from state 1 to state 2) with the spool rod joint 9 restrained; because the valve core rod joint 9 is fixed, the self-generating signal emission electronic module 5 fixedly connected with the valve core rod joint is also fixed; the handle body 3 with the fixed seat 8, the electronic module upper cover 4 and the electronic module lower cover 6 rotates together with the electronic module shell rotating shaft 24 as the axis; because the signal emission plectrum 26 is spacing by electronic module upper cover 4 and electronic module lower cover 6, signal emission plectrum 26 can be stirred gear II this moment, simultaneously to external transmission signal II.

(4) The electronic module shell limiting boss 25 is limited by the electronic module upper limiting groove 22 to continue rotating at the moment; and then the valve core rod connector 9 rotates upwards with the self-generating signal transmitting electronic module 5.

The working scene is as follows:

the present invention is secured to the valve core rod 34 of any faucet. During the process of opening or closing the faucet by using the handle assembly, the handle assembly transmits a faucet opening signal or a faucet closing signal to the outside once. And enabling other external interconnected equipment to receive the data and enable the data to generate corresponding work flows.

When the water faucet is turned on:

step one, because the opening and closing torque of the valve core rod 34 of the faucet is larger than the toggle force value of the signal emission poking sheet 26, when the handle assembly is rotated outwards to open the faucet, the valve core rod 34 cannot rotate, and the internal mechanism of the handle assembly firstly moves; at this time, the valve core rod joint 9 and the self-generating signal emission electronic module 5 are also fixed along with the valve core rod 34, and the handle main body 3 drives the fixing seat 8, the electronic module upper cover 4 and the electronic module lower cover 6 to rotate and stir the signal emission shifting sheet 26, so that the handle assembly emits a signal representing the opening of the faucet to the outside once.

Step two, the handle is continuously rotated, and because the handle is arranged in the handle assembly, the electronic module shell limiting boss 25 is limited by the limiting groove 22 on the electronic module to continuously rotate; therefore, the electronic module 5 and the valve core rod joint 9 continue to rotate along with the handle body 3, so that the valve core rod 34 starts to rotate and the faucet is opened.

When the water faucet is turned off:

step one, when the faucet is used and the handle assembly rotates inwards to close the faucet, the handle assembly moves firstly, the valve core rod joint 9 and the self-generating signal emission electronic module 5 are fixed along with the valve core rod 34, the handle main body 3 drives the fixing seat 8, the electronic module upper cover 4 and the electronic module lower cover 6 to rotate and stir the signal emission shifting sheet 26 to another gear, and the handle assembly is enabled to emit a signal representing the closing of the faucet to the outside.

Step two, the handle is continuously rotated, and because the handle is arranged in the handle assembly, the electronic module shell limiting boss 25 is limited by the electronic module lower limiting groove 18 to continuously rotate; therefore, the electronic module 5 and the valve core rod joint 9 continue to rotate along with the handle body 3, so that the valve core rod 34 starts to rotate and the faucet is closed.

The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail, but the description is only for the preferred embodiments of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the present invention should be covered by the present patent.
