[0047] The embodiment of the present application provides a water outlet module 10, such as Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, it includes: a water outlet mounting seat 1, a rotating water outlet assembly 4 and a ball head assembly 3;

[0048] A water outlet mounting seat 1 having a water inlet;

[0049] The ball head assembly 3 includes a first component 31 having a first ball head 311 and a second component 32 having a second ball head 321, wherein the first component 31 and the second component 32 are connected so that the first ball head 311 is movable relative to the second ball head 321, and the ball head assembly 3 has a connecting hole that passes through the first ball head 311 and the second ball head 321; wherein the movable state includes not only the relative translation of the first ball head 311 and the second ball head 321, but also does not exclude the possibility of relative rotation between the two.

[0050] The rotating water outlet assembly 4 is configured to be rotatable relative to the water outlet mounting seat 1 around a rotation center C. The rotating water outlet assembly 4 includes a rotating seat 41 and a water outlet component mounted on the rotating seat 41;

[0051] Among them, the first ball head 311 is rotatably installed on the water outlet mounting seat 1, and the second ball head 321 is rotatably installed on the rotating seat 41. The water entering the water inlet can enter the second ball head 321 from the first ball head 311 along the connecting hole, and enter the rotating water outlet component 4 from the second ball head 321, and then flow out from the water outlet component; during the rotation of the rotating water outlet component 4 relative to the water outlet mounting seat 1, the first ball head 311 is movable relative to the second ball head 321.

[0052] The technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application is to set a first ball head 311 and a second ball head 321. During the process of rotating the water outlet component 4 around the rotation center C relative to the water outlet mounting seat 1, the water outlet component 4 rotates relative to the second ball head 321 and drives the second ball head 321 to move. The movement of the second ball head 321 drives the first ball head 311 to rotate relative to the water outlet mounting seat 1. The first ball head 311 and the second ball head 321 can move relatively during the movement. Therefore, the water outlet module in the present application adopts a double ball head method compared with the single ball head structure method in the prior art. The rotation of the rotating water outlet component 4 is more flexible. In addition, the double ball head solution is adopted in the present application. Water enters the first ball head 311 from the water inlet of the water outlet mounting seat 1, enters the second ball head 321 along the connecting hole from the first ball head 311, and then enters the rotating water outlet component 4 from the second ball head 321. The flow of water in the water outlet module will not hold the ball head tightly on the installed structure, thereby solving the problem in the prior art that the single ball head is held tightly in the spherical groove by the water pressure, making it difficult to rotate the rotating water outlet module.

[0053] The rotation center C of the rotating water outlet assembly 4 may be a rotation center determined by the rotating water outlet assembly 4 and the panel assembly being rotatably connected. In one embodiment, the rotating seat 41 may also be provided with an arc-shaped shell portion 411 that is mounted in cooperation with the water outlet mounting seat 1, and the center of the arc-shaped shell portion 411 is located at the rotation center C, so that during the rotation of the rotating water outlet assembly 4, the arc-shaped outer surface of the arc-shaped shell portion 411 rotates against the water outlet mounting seat 1.

[0054] Figure 6 and Figure 7 In the described example, the rotating water outlet assembly 4 is rotatably connected to the panel assembly (including the panel body 7 and the decorative cover 6), and the rotating water outlet assembly 4 is rotatably connected to the panel assembly in such a way that the rotating water outlet assembly 4 can rotate around the rotation center C (the connection between the rotating water outlet assembly 4 and the panel assembly will be described in detail below), and the rotating seat 41 has an arc-shaped shell portion 411 that is installed in cooperation with the water outlet mounting seat 1, and the center of the arc-shaped shell portion 411 is located at the rotation center C of the rotating water outlet assembly 4. During the rotation of the rotating water outlet assembly 4 around the rotation center C, the second ball head 321 moves along the trajectory line M around the rotation center C.

[0055] in, Figure 6 The water outlet module 10 is shown in the first state, wherein the rotating water outlet component 4 is in the first position, Figure 7 The water outlet module 10 is shown in the second state, wherein the rotating water outlet assembly 4 is rotated to the second position, Figure 6 and Figure 7 It can be seen that when the water outlet component 4 rotates from the first position to the second position, the second ball head 321 moves along the trajectory line M. When the second ball head 321 moves along the trajectory line M, it will drive the first ball head 311 to rotate and the distance between the second ball head 321 and the first ball head 311 will change.

[0056] In one embodiment, a first component 31 having a first ball head 311 and a second component 32 having a second ball head 321 respectively have through holes, and one of the first component 31 and the second component 32 has a connecting rod, which is inserted into the through hole provided in the other and is movable in the through hole, so that the second ball head 321 is movable relative to the first ball head 311.

[0057] In one embodiment, the water outlet module 10 also includes a first limiting member 2 and a second limiting member 42; the first component 31 is configured to be inserted into the water outlet mounting seat 1 from the water inlet of the water outlet mounting seat 1, and the first limiting member 2 is configured to limit the first ball head 311 to the water outlet mounting seat 1 from the water inlet; the second component 32 is configured to be inserted from the side of the rotating seat 41 away from the first ball head 311 and extend to the other side to connect with the first component 31, and the second limiting member 42 is configured to limit the second ball head 321 to the rotating seat 41.

[0058] like Figure 3In the example shown, the first component 31 includes a first ball head 311 and a first connecting portion 312, the second component 32 includes a second ball head 321 and a second connecting portion 322, the water outlet mounting seat 1 includes a water inlet pipe section 11 with a water inlet, a mounting main shell 12 with a receiving cavity, and an annular limiting portion 13 located between the water inlet pipe section 11 and the mounting main shell 12, and the rotating water outlet assembly 4 is installed in the receiving cavity of the mounting main shell 12. Among them, the first connecting portion 312 of the first component 31 is inserted from the water inlet of the water inlet pipe section 11, the first ball head 311 is limited in the water inlet pipe section 11 by the annular limiting portion 13, and the first limiting member 2 can be connected in the water inlet pipe section 11 by a threaded connection, so as to be limited on the side of the first ball head 311 away from the annular limiting portion 13. The second connecting portion 322 of the second component 32 is a connecting rod inserted into the through hole of the first component 31, and the connecting rod extends from the inner side of the arc-shaped housing portion 411 to the outer side and is inserted into the through hole of the first component 31 to be connected to the first component 31, wherein a sealing ring is arranged between the connecting rod and the hole wall of the first component 31, and an annular structure with internal threads is arranged on the inner side of the arc-shaped housing portion 411, and the second ball head 321 is located in the annular structure, and the second limiting member 42 is threadedly connected to the annular structure to limit the second ball head 321 in the annular structure. It is understandable that the first connecting portion 312 of the first component 31 can also be inserted into the through hole of the second connecting portion 322 of the second component 32 for connection.

[0059] In this case, after the water enters the water inlet of the water outlet mounting seat 1, the water can enter the rotating water outlet assembly 4 from the connecting hole of the ball head assembly 3 without leakage. Figure 3 As shown, a sealing ring is arranged between the outer surface of the first ball head 311 and the water inlet pipe section 11 of the water outlet mounting seat 1 to prevent water entering the water inlet pipe section 11 from leaking from the gap between the first ball head 311 and the water outlet mounting seat 1, a sealing ring is arranged between the second ball head 321 and the rotating seat 41 to prevent water entering the rotating water outlet assembly 4 from leaking from the gap between the second ball head 321 and the rotating seat 41, and a sealing ring is arranged between the second connecting portion 322 of the second component 32 and the through hole of the first component 31 to prevent water leakage.

[0060] In one example, the water outlet component includes a water outlet surface cover 48 installed on a rotating seat 41 and a water flow switching mechanism located between the rotating seat 41 and the water outlet surface cover 48. The water flow switching mechanism is configured to alternately switch the water flowing into the rotating water outlet component 4 between multiple water flow paths, so that the water flows out from the water outlet surface cover 48 in multiple water spray modes.

[0061] like Figure 2-Figure 5 The example shown (combined with Figure 8-Figure 10), the water flow switching mechanism includes a rotatable blocking member 45, a water dividing plate 46 having a first opening 461 and a second opening 462, and a jet plate 47 located between the water dividing plate 46 and the water outlet cover 48, a first water cavity A is formed between the water dividing plate 46 and the jet plate 47, a second water cavity B is formed between the jet plate 47 and the water outlet cover 48, and the jet plate 47 is provided with a through hole 471 and a jet hole 472 (refer to Fig.10 The jet plate 47 shown in the figure), the through hole 471 is connected to the first opening 461. The blocking member 45 is configured to alternately block the first opening 461 and the second opening 462 during the rotation process. When the blocking member 45 blocks the second opening 462 and opens the first opening 461, the water flow switches to the first water flow path, and when the blocking member 45 blocks the first opening 461 and opens the second opening 462, the water flow switches to the second water flow path; wherein, the first water flow path is that the water flows from the first opening 461 through the through hole 471 into the second water cavity B and then sprays out from the water outlet cover 48, and the second water flow path is that the water flows from the second opening 462 into the first water cavity A, and the water in the first water cavity A enters the second water cavity B through the jet hole 472 and then sprays out from the water outlet cover 48.

[0062] in, Fig.10 The side of the jet plate 47 facing the water outlet cover 48 is also provided with a plurality of support columns 473 and a peripheral wall surrounding the jet hole 472. The support columns 473 and the peripheral wall 475 are pressed against the water outlet cover 48, so that a second water cavity B surrounded by the peripheral wall 475 is formed between the jet plate 47 and the water outlet cover 48. The side of the jet plate 47 facing away from the water outlet cover 48 is provided with a column 474 having a through hole 471. Fig. 9 The column 474 is placed on the water dividing plate 46 , and a first water cavity A is formed between the water dividing plate 46 and the jet plate 47 .

[0063] Figure 8 The diagram shows a state in which the sealing member 45 seals the second opening 462 of the water dividing plate 46 and opens the first opening 461 in an embodiment, and water flows directly into the second water chamber B from the first opening 461 of the water dividing plate 46 and the through hole 471 of the jet plate 47, and the water in the second water chamber B is sprayed out from the spray hole on the water outlet cover 48. Fig. 9 The figure shows a state in which the blocking member 45 blocks the first opening 461 of the water diversion plate 46 and opens the second opening 462 in an embodiment, water flows into the first water chamber A from the second opening 462 of the water diversion plate 46, the water in the first water chamber A flows into the second water chamber B through the multiple jet holes 472 on the jet plate 47, and the water in the second water chamber B is ejected from the spray hole on the water outlet cover 48. Fig.10The plurality of jet holes 472 on the jet plate 47 are arranged in groups of three, and each jet hole 472 is arranged in the same circumferential direction and tilted, so that each group of jet holes 472 sprays water spirally to the second water chamber B, so that the water sprayed from the water surface cover 48 has the required spray pattern. Of course, the jet holes 472 can also be arranged in other forms of holes as needed, so that the water surface cover 48 sprays water in other forms.

[0064] It is understandable that the water of the rotating water outlet assembly 4 can also be sprayed out alternately in more water spraying modes. For example, the water diversion plate 46 is provided with three openings, the three openings are opened alternately, and the water flowing out of the three openings is respectively provided with different water flow paths, so that three different forms of water spray are sprayed out from the water outlet surface cover 48.

[0065] In one embodiment, in order to enable the blocking piece 45 to rotate, the water flow switching mechanism also includes an impeller 44 with an eccentric shaft, and the water flow can drive the impeller 44 to rotate; a cylinder 463 with internal teeth is provided on the side of the water dividing plate 46 facing the blocking piece 45, the blocking piece 45 is provided with external teeth, and the blocking piece 45 is installed on the eccentric shaft of the impeller 44, the impeller 44, the blocking piece 45 and the cylinder 463 form a cycloid reducer, so that the rotation of the impeller 44 drives the blocking piece 45 to rotate, and the blocking piece 45 alternately blocks the first opening 461 and the second opening 462 during the rotation process.

[0066] like Figure 3 In the example shown, the rotating water outlet assembly 4 also includes a water sealing cover 43 fixed relative to the rotating seat 1, and the water sealing cover 43 cooperates with the cylinder 463 to form a receiving chamber for receiving the impeller 44 and the blocking member 45, wherein a plurality of water inlet holes (not shown in the figure) are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction on the cylinder 463, so that water can enter the receiving chamber from the water inlet holes to drive the impeller 44 to rotate; wherein the impeller 44 is rotatably mounted on the water sealing cover 43, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 It is shown that the impeller 44 is installed on the rotating shaft of the water sealing cover 43. Among them, the side of the water sealing cover 43 facing away from the cylinder 463 abuts against the second limiter 42, and the second limiter 42 can be provided with a structure for limiting the circumferential position of the water sealing cover 43 to prevent the water sealing cover 43 from rotating circumferentially, that is, the second limiter 42 limits the circumferential and axial position of the water sealing cover 43. It can be understood that the water sealing cover 43 can also be fixed on the water outlet mounting seat 1.

[0067] It can also be understood that, in order to make the blocking member 45 rotate, the blocking member 45 can also be directly driven by the impeller 44, and is not limited to the manner in which the impeller 44, the blocking member 45 and the cylinder 463 form a cycloid reducer.

[0068] The embodiment of the present application also provides a water outlet device, such as Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, the water outlet device includes a valve body 8, a panel assembly and the water outlet module 10 as described above; wherein, the water outlet mounting seat 1 of the water outlet module 10 is installed on the valve body, and the rotating water outlet assembly 4 is rotatably connected to the panel assembly so that the rotating water outlet assembly 4 can rotate around the rotation center C.

[0069] In one embodiment, the water outlet device also includes a rotating ring 6, which is rotatably connected to the panel assembly through a first rotating shaft 481, and the rotating water outlet assembly 4 is rotatably installed on the rotating ring 6 through a second rotating shaft 52; wherein the first rotating shaft 481 is perpendicular to the second rotating shaft 52, and the intersection of the axes of the first rotating shaft 481 and the second rotating shaft 52 is the rotation center C of the rotating seat 41, and the rotating water outlet assembly 4 can realize 360-degree rotation around the rotation center C by using two intersecting axes, and the rotation is relatively flexible.

[0070] Figure 6 and Figure 7 In the example shown, the rotating seat 41 has an arc-shaped shell portion 411, and the center of the ball head shell portion 411 is the rotation center C. Therefore, the axes of the first rotating shaft 481 and the second rotating shaft 52 intersect at the center of the arc-shaped shell portion 411. In this way, in the process of rotating the water outlet component 4 around the first rotating shaft 481 and the second rotating shaft 52, the arc-shaped outer surface of the arc-shaped shell portion 411 moves along the water outlet mounting seat 1, that is, the rotating seat 1 rotates under the support of the water outlet mounting seat 1, so that the rotation stability of the rotating water outlet component 4 is good.

[0071] like Figure 6-Figure 7 as well as Fig.11 In the example shown, the panel assembly includes a panel body 7 and a decorative cover 6 installed on the panel body 7 and corresponding to the rotating water outlet assembly 4.
