Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water discharge products, specifically to a water discharge device. Background Technology

[0002] In the prior art, in order to enrich the water output effect and reduce the size of the water output device, the water output device usually achieves different water output effects through the same water outlet. However, this will make the internal water circuit of the water output device more complex, resulting in a large loss of kinetic energy of the water in the water circuit corresponding to a certain water output effect. Under low pressure, the water output effect may not be ideal. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned defects or problems in the background art and to provide a water outlet device.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention and its preferred embodiments adopt the following technical solutions, but the embodiments are not limited to the following solutions:

[0005] Option 1: A water outlet device, including...

[0006] The main body is provided with a water inlet channel, a first water outlet chamber, a second water outlet chamber and at least one water outlet hole communicating with at least one of the first water outlet chamber and the second water outlet chamber. At least one of the water outlet ends of the first water outlet chamber and the water outlet ends of the second water outlet chamber is an acceleration hole. The acceleration hole is adapted to accelerate the water flow and communicates with the water outlet hole.

[0007] A rotating component, rotatably connected to the main body, is provided with a water distribution hole. The inlet end of the water distribution hole is connected to the water inlet channel, and the outlet end of the water distribution hole is adapted to connect with the first water outlet cavity and the second water outlet cavity. When the water distribution hole is only connected to the first water outlet cavity, water is discharged from the outlet hole inward. When the water distribution hole is only connected to the second water outlet cavity, water is discharged from the outlet hole outward.

[0008] Option 2, based on Option 1, has a first wall and a second wall for the water outlet. The first wall is inclined inward and the second wall is inclined outward. When the water distribution hole is only connected to the first water outlet cavity, the water flow in the first water outlet cavity flows out along the first wall, so that the water outlet outlet flows inward. When the water distribution hole is only connected to the second water outlet cavity, the water flow in the second water outlet cavity flows out along the second wall, so that the water outlet outlet flows outward.

[0009] Option 3, based on Option 1, is adapted to correspond simultaneously with the first water outlet cavity and the second water outlet cavity, so as to simultaneously connect the first water outlet cavity and the second water outlet cavity, and is adapted to reduce the corresponding area of ​​the water distribution hole to the other of the two when the corresponding area of ​​the water distribution hole to one of the first water outlet cavity and the second water outlet cavity increases.

[0010] Option 4, based on Option 1, the water outlet is provided with a first water inlet surface and a second water inlet surface. Both the second water inlet surface and the first water inlet surface face the water outlet end of the water outlet, and the second water inlet surface is closer to the water outlet end of the water outlet than the first water inlet surface. The water outlet end of the first water outlet cavity opens to the first water inlet surface, and the water outlet end of the second water outlet cavity opens to the second water inlet surface.

[0011] Option 5, based on Option 1, further includes a biasing component. The main body has a first surface, and the inlet ends of the first and second water outlet chambers are both open on the first surface. The rotating component has a second surface facing the first surface, and the outlet end of the water distribution hole is open on the second surface. The two ends of the biasing component act on the main body and the rotating component respectively, so that the first surface and the second surface are in contact.

[0012] Option 6, based on Option 5, the biasing component includes an elastic element and a shaft core. The elastic element is sleeved on the shaft core, and both ends of the elastic element act on the body and the shaft core respectively. The shaft core abuts against the rotating component.

[0013] Option 7, based on Options 1 to 6, further includes a push button, which is slidably connected to the main body. The rotating component is provided with a first actuating part that is eccentric to its rotation axis, and the push button is provided with a second actuating part. One of the first actuating part and the second actuating part is a groove, and the other is a protrusion. The protrusion is adapted to slide in the groove and cooperate with the groove wall.

[0014] Option 8, based on Option 7, includes a guide groove on one of the push button and the main body, and a slider that slides with the guide groove on the other. The slider is adapted to rotate the rotating member so that the water distribution hole communicates only with the first water outlet cavity when it abuts against one side wall of the guide groove, and to rotate the rotating member so that the water distribution hole communicates only with the second water outlet cavity when it abuts against the other side wall of the guide groove.

[0015] Option 9, based on Options 1 to 6, further includes an operating component, wherein the rotating component is adapted to rotate under hydraulic drive when water enters the inlet channel;

[0016] The operating member is adapted to move relative to the body to a first position and a second position. When it moves to the first position, it is located on the rotation path of the rotating member to block the rotating member, causing the rotating member to stop at a first stopping position, so that the water distribution hole is in one of the following stopping states:

[0017] The water distribution hole corresponds only to the first water outlet cavity; the water distribution hole corresponds only to the second water outlet cavity; the water distribution hole corresponds to both the first and second water outlet cavities; the water distribution hole does not correspond to either the first or second water outlet cavity.

[0018] When the operating element moves to the second position, it yields to the rotating element to allow the rotating element to rotate under hydraulic power.

[0019] Option 10, based on Option 9, further adapts the operating member to move to a third position. When moving to the third position, it is positioned on the rotation path of the rotating member to block the rotating member, causing the rotating member to stop at a second stopping position. When the rotating member stops at the first and second stopping positions, the water distribution hole is located in two of the following stopping states:

[0020] The water distribution hole corresponds only to the first water outlet cavity, the water distribution hole corresponds only to the second water outlet cavity, the water distribution hole corresponds to both the first water outlet cavity and the second water outlet cavity, and the water distribution hole does not correspond to either the first water outlet cavity or the second water outlet cavity.

[0021] As can be seen from the above description of the present invention and its preferred embodiments, compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention and its preferred embodiments have the following beneficial effects due to the adoption of the following technical means:

[0022] 1. In Scheme 1 and its preferred embodiments, a water outlet device includes a body and a rotating component.

[0023] The main body has a water inlet channel, a first water outlet chamber, a second water outlet chamber, and at least one water outlet hole communicating with at least one of the first and second water outlet chambers. A rotating component is rotatably connected to the main body and has a water distribution hole. The water inlet end of the water distribution hole communicates with the water inlet channel, and the water outlet end of the water distribution hole is adapted to communicate with the first and second water outlet chambers. When the water distribution hole communicates only with the first water outlet chamber, water flows inward from the water outlet hole; when the water distribution hole communicates only with the second water outlet chamber, water flows outward from the water outlet hole, achieving the experience of the same water outlet hole but different water flow directions. Of course, the water distribution hole can also be communicated with both the first and second water outlet chambers, so that the water pattern is between the two states mentioned above.

[0024] When there are multiple water outlets, the dividing hole is only connected to the second water outlet chamber. The water flowing out from each outlet can cover a large area, meeting the user's need for water to cover a large area, such as for showering and bathing. The dividing hole is only connected to the first water outlet chamber. The water flowing in from each outlet will cause the water flow to converge into one stream, generating the strongest impact force, which can be used as a spray gun to meet the user's cleaning and rinsing needs.

[0025] When the water outlet is connected to both the first and second water outlet chambers, it falls between the two types mentioned above. The water outlet range can be more concentrated, the water volume is large and strong, and it will not sting or spray randomly. It is suitable for washing hair, especially for women with thick and long hair. It can easily wet the scalp and wash quickly.

[0026] Since at least one of the outlet ends of the first and second water outlet chambers is an acceleration hole, the acceleration hole is suitable for accelerating the water flow and generating a pressurization effect, which makes the water flow faster when it comes out of the outlet, increases the impact force, enhances the user experience, and can be used even at low pressure. As the connection area between the water distribution hole and the corresponding water outlet chamber increases, the acceleration effect becomes more obvious.

[0027] 2. In Scheme 2 and its preferred embodiments, the water outlet is provided with a first wall and a second wall. The first wall is inclined inward and the second wall is inclined outward. When the water distribution hole is only connected to the first water outlet cavity, the water flow in the first water outlet cavity flows out along the first wall, so that the water outlet flows outward. When the water distribution hole is only connected to the second water outlet cavity, the water flow in the second water outlet cavity flows out along the second wall, so that the water outlet flows outward. The water outlet of this water outlet device can have different water outlet directions, that is, it can have the form of internal water outlet and external water outlet, so as to facilitate user use.

[0028] 3. In Scheme 3 and its preferred embodiments, the water distribution hole is adapted to correspond simultaneously with the first and second water outlet chambers, so as to simultaneously connect the first and second water outlet chambers. Furthermore, it is adapted that when the corresponding area of ​​one of the water distribution hole and the first and second water outlet chambers increases, the corresponding area of ​​the water distribution hole and the other decreases. Therefore, during the rotation of the rotating component, the water outlet angle of the water outlet continuously changes from the inside to the outside or from the outside to the inside, ensuring continuous water flow. When the water outlet end of the second water outlet chamber is an acceleration hole, adjusting the water outlet angle from the inside to the outside will have a gradual pressure increase effect, allowing for adjustable pressure showering, which is beneficial for low-pressure boosting bathing. When the water outlet end of the first water outlet chamber is an acceleration hole, adjusting the water outlet angle from the outside to the inside will have a gradual pressure increase effect, which is beneficial for concentrated pressure boosting rinsing.

[0029] 4. In Scheme 4 and its preferred embodiments, the water outlet is provided with a first water inlet surface and a second water inlet surface. Both the second water inlet surface and the first water inlet surface face the water outlet end of the water outlet, and the second water inlet surface is closer to the water outlet end of the water outlet than the first water inlet surface. The water outlet end of the first water outlet cavity opens to the first water inlet surface, and the water outlet end of the second water outlet cavity opens to the second water inlet surface, so as to prevent the water outlet openings of the first water outlet cavity and the second water outlet cavity from being located on the same plane, which would affect the generation of water shape.

[0030] 5. In Scheme 5 and its preferred embodiments, the main body is provided with a first surface, and the water inlet ends of the first water outlet cavity and the second water outlet cavity are both open on the first surface. The rotating component is provided with a second surface facing the first surface, and the water outlet end of the water distribution hole is open on the second surface. The two ends of the biasing component act on the main body and the rotating component respectively to make the first surface and the second surface fit together, preventing gaps between the first surface and the second surface, which would cause water to always pass through the first water outlet cavity and the second water outlet cavity, affecting the use.

[0031] 6. In Scheme 6 and its preferred embodiments, the biasing component includes an elastic component and a shaft core. The elastic component is sleeved on the shaft core, and the two ends of the elastic component act on the body and the shaft core respectively. The shaft core abuts against the rotating component. The shaft core connects the elastic component and the rotating component, so that the rotating component is subjected to more uniform force and can rotate more smoothly.

[0032] 7. In Scheme 7 and its preferred embodiments, the push button is slidably connected to the body, the rotating component is provided with a first actuating part that is eccentric to its rotation axis, and the push button is provided with a second actuating part. One of the first actuating part and the second actuating part is a groove, and the other is a protrusion. The protrusion is suitable for sliding in the groove and cooperating with the groove wall to prevent the rotating component from getting stuck.

[0033] 8. In Scheme 8 and its preferred embodiments, one of the push button and the main body is provided with a guide groove, and the other of the two is provided with a slider that slides in cooperation with the guide groove. The slider is adapted to rotate the rotating part to the point where the water distribution hole is only connected to the first water outlet cavity when it abuts against one side wall of the guide groove, and to rotate the rotating part to the point where the water distribution hole is only connected to the second water outlet cavity when it abuts against the other side wall of the guide groove, so as to realize the use of a certain state.

[0034] 9. In Scheme Nine and its preferred embodiments, the operating member is adapted to move relative to the body to a second position. When it moves to the second position, it yields to the rotating member, allowing the rotating member to rotate under hydraulic pressure. Therefore, the rotating member can continuously rotate under hydraulic pressure, thereby changing the connection between the water distribution hole and the first and second water outlet chambers, constantly altering the state of the water outlet, achieving a massage effect, and improving the experience. The operating member is also adapted to move relative to the body to a first position. When it moves to the first position, it is positioned on the rotation path of the rotating member to block the rotating member, causing the rotating member to stop at a first stopping position, so that the water distribution hole is in one of the following stopping states:

[0035] The water distribution hole can be configured to correspond only to the first water outlet chamber, correspond only to the second water outlet chamber, correspond to both the first and second water outlet chambers simultaneously, or correspond to neither the first nor the second water outlet chamber. In these cases, the rotating component will no longer rotate, thus satisfying the user's need for continuous use in a certain state.

[0036] When this solution is based on solution three, the water outlet will automatically circulate internally and externally during the rotation of the rotating component, thus improving the massage effect.

[0037] 10. In Scheme 10 and its preferred embodiments, the operating member is further adapted to move to a third position. When it moves to the third position, it is located on the rotation path of the rotating member to block the rotating member, causing the rotating member to stop at a second stopping position. When the rotating member stops at the first stopping position and the second stopping position, the water distribution hole is located in two of the following stopping states:

[0038] The water distribution hole can be configured to correspond only to the first water outlet chamber, only to the second water outlet chamber, simultaneously to correspond to both the first and second water outlet chambers, or not to correspond to either the first or second water outlet chamber, in order to satisfy the user's need for continuous use of a certain two states and improve the user experience.

[0069] In the claims, description and accompanying drawings of this utility model, the terms "comprising", "having", and variations thereof are used to mean "including but not limited to".

[0070] refer to Figures 1-11 A water outlet device includes a body 1, a rotating component 2, a push button 6, and an biasing component 4 mounted on the body 1. In this embodiment, the water outlet device is a shower head; in other embodiments, it can also be a spray gun, a faucet, a side spray, etc.

[0071] refer to Figure 5-Figure 7The main body 1 includes a water inlet channel 11, a first water outlet chamber 12, a second water outlet chamber 13, a water distribution chamber 14, and a water outlet hole 15. The main body 1 also includes an installation cavity 16 isolated from the water passage of the main body 1. The installation cavity 16 is connected to the water distribution chamber 14 through a through hole 17. After subsequent assembly, this through hole 17 is sealed to prevent water flow between the water distribution chamber 14 and the installation cavity 16. The installation cavity 16 has an operation hole 161, which opens onto the surface of the main body 1. (Reference) Figure 11 The mounting cavity 16 is also provided with a guide groove 19. The water inlet channel 11 is suitable for water intake.

[0072] The water outlet 15 is adapted to communicate with both the first water outlet chamber 12 and the second water outlet chamber 13. In this embodiment, the water outlet 15 has two water outlet states and an intermediate state between the two water outlet states. (Reference) Figure 6 The water outlet 15 is provided with a first wall 151 and a second wall 152. The first wall 151 is inclined inward and the second wall 152 is inclined outward. When only the first water outlet chamber 12 is discharging water, the water flow in the first water outlet chamber 12 flows out along the first wall 151, so that the water outlet 15 discharging water inward. When only the second water outlet chamber 13 is discharging water, the water flow in the second water outlet chamber 13 flows out along the second wall 152, so that the water outlet 15 discharging water outward. When both the first water outlet chamber 12 and the second water outlet chamber 13 are discharging water, if the flow rate of the first water outlet chamber 12 is greater, the water outlet 15 will discharge water inward. If the flow rate of the second water outlet chamber 13 is greater, the water outlet 15 will discharge water outward. In this embodiment, the water outlet 15 has a first inlet surface 153 and a second inlet surface 154. The second inlet surface 154 and the first inlet surface 153 are parallel and both face the water outlet end of the water outlet 15. The second inlet surface 154 is closer to the water outlet end of the water outlet 15 than the first inlet surface 153. To ensure the water output, there can be multiple water outlets 15, as shown in the reference. Figure 8 , Figure 20 The "inward" direction refers to the convergence of water from each of the water outlets 15, typically near the center of the water outlet panel (i.e., the area where the water outlets 15 are located) on the main body 1. (Refer to...) Figure 9 , Figure 20 "Outward" refers to the mutual diffusion of water from each water outlet 15, typically away from the center of the water outlet panel of the main body 1. The water outlet angle of each water outlet 15 is not limited; the water outlet angles of each water outlet 15 can be the same or different.

[0073] refer to Figure 6 At least one of the water outlet ends of the first water outlet chamber 12 and the second water outlet chamber 13 is an acceleration hole 18. The acceleration hole 18 is adapted to accelerate the water flow and communicates with the water outlet 15. The water flow area of ​​the acceleration hole 18 gradually decreases along its water flow direction to achieve acceleration. In this embodiment, the water outlet end of the second water outlet chamber 13 is the acceleration hole 18.

[0074] refer to Figure 7 The water distribution chamber 14 has a first surface 141. The inlet openings of the first water outlet chamber 12 and the second water outlet chamber 13 are both on the first surface 141. The outlets of the first water outlet chamber 12 and the second water outlet chamber 13 are both connected to the outlet holes 15. Specifically, the outlet opening of the first water outlet chamber 12 is on the first inlet surface 153, and the outlet opening of the second water outlet chamber 13 is on the second inlet surface 154, to prevent the outlet openings of the first water outlet chamber 12 and the second water outlet chamber 13 from being on the same plane and affecting the generation of the water pattern. The first water outlet chamber 12 and the second water outlet chamber 13 are independent of each other and are not connected to each other. Both the first water outlet chamber 12 and the second water outlet chamber 13 can be provided with multiple openings to connect with each outlet hole 15.

[0075] Since the main body 1 is relatively complex, it can be assembled from multiple parts to form the water channel and mounting cavity 16. For example, the main body 1 is formed by assembling a water outlet panel, a water jet plate, an inner frame, a shower head seat, and a handle. The water outlet panel is mainly provided with water outlet holes 15. The water jet plate, the inner frame, the shower head seat, and the water outlet panel are suitable for jointly enclosing to form the first water outlet cavity 12 and the second water outlet cavity 13. The handle is mainly provided with a mounting cavity 16, a water distribution cavity 14, and a water inlet channel 11.

[0076] Rotating component 2 is rotatably connected to body 1, see reference. Figure 3 , Figure 7 The rotating component 2 includes a rotating shaft plate 21 and a rotating plate 22. Part of the rotating shaft plate 21 is located within the water distribution cavity 14, and part of it is adapted to sealably penetrate through the through hole 17 (a seal 3 is installed between the through hole 17 and the rotating shaft plate 21) and extend into the mounting cavity 16 to prevent rotation with the rotating plate 22. This anti-rotation connection can be achieved through the fit between a non-circular hole and a shaft. Figure 7 The second surface 212 faces the first surface 141 and abuts against the first surface 141. The water inlet of the water distribution hole 211 opens into the water distribution cavity 14 to communicate with the water inlet channel 11. The water outlet of the water distribution hole 211 opens into the second surface 212.

[0077] When the water distribution hole 211 corresponds only to the first water outlet chamber 12, it is connected to the first water outlet chamber 12, and water flows inward from the water outlet hole 15. When the water distribution hole 211 corresponds only to the second water outlet chamber 13, it is connected to the second water outlet chamber 13, and water flows outward from the water outlet hole 15. In this embodiment, the water distribution hole 211 is adapted to correspond simultaneously with the first water outlet chamber 12 and the second water outlet chamber 13 to simultaneously connect the first water outlet chamber 12 and the second water outlet chamber 13. It is also adapted to reduce the corresponding area of ​​the water distribution hole 211 to the other one when the corresponding area of ​​the water distribution hole 211 increases. When the corresponding area increases, the flow rate of the corresponding water outlet chamber increases, and vice versa. This allows the water outlet angle to change continuously from the inside to the outside or from the outside to the inside, and ensures continuous water output.

[0078] refer to Figure 3 The rotating plate 22 is provided with a first actuating part 223 that is eccentric to its rotation axis.

[0079] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 The two ends of the biasing member 4 act on the body 1 and the rotating member 2 respectively, to apply a force toward the first surface 141 to the rotating member 2 (this force is parallel to the rotation axis of the rotating member 2 to maintain stability), so that the first surface 141 and the second surface 212 fit together, preventing gaps between the first surface 141 and the second surface 212, resulting in water always flowing from the first water outlet chamber 12 and the second water outlet chamber 13. In this embodiment, reference... Figure 7 The biasing component 4 includes an elastic component 41 and a shaft core 42. The elastic component 41 is sleeved on the shaft core 42, and the two ends of the elastic component 41 act on the body 1 and the shaft core 42 respectively. The shaft core 42 abuts against the rotating component 2. In this embodiment, the elastic component 41 is a spring.

[0080] refer to Figure 7 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 The push button 6 is slidably connected to the body 1. Part of the push button 6 is placed inside the mounting cavity 16 to engage with the rotating plate 22, while a portion protrudes from the operating hole 161 for operation. The portion of the push button 6 placed inside the mounting cavity 16 is provided with a second actuating part 61 and a slider 62. One of the first actuating part 223 and the second actuating part 61 is a groove, and the other is a protrusion. The protrusion is adapted to slide within the groove and engage with the groove wall. In this embodiment, the first actuating part 223 is a protrusion, and the second actuating part 61 is a groove. The slider 62 is slidably engaged with the guide groove 19. When the slider 62 abuts against one side of the guide groove 19, it causes the rotating member 2 to rotate until the water distribution hole 211 communicates only with the first water outlet cavity 12, maximizing the internal water outlet angle. When the slider 62 abuts against the other side of the guide groove 19, it causes the rotating member 2 to rotate until the water distribution hole 211 communicates only with the second water outlet cavity 13, maximizing the external water outlet angle. In other embodiments, the body 1 may be provided with a slider 62, and the push button 6 may be provided with a guide groove 19.

[0081] When using, refer to Figure 20Pushing the push button 6 causes the rotating component 2 to rotate. When the slider 62 of the push button 6 abuts against one side of the guide groove 19 of the main body 1, the rotating component 2 rotates until the water distribution hole 211 is only connected to the first water outlet cavity 12, and the angle at which the water outlet hole 15 flows outward is the largest. At this time, pushing the push button 6 causes the slider 62 of the push button 6 to slide against the other side of the guide groove 19. During this process, the water distribution hole 211 is simultaneously connected to the first water outlet cavity 12 and the second water outlet cavity 13. The corresponding area of ​​the water distribution hole 211 and the second water outlet cavity 13 gradually increases, while the corresponding area of ​​the water distribution hole 211 and the first water outlet cavity 12 gradually decreases. The water outlet hole 15 gradually flows outward until the slider 62 abuts against the other side of the guide groove 19, and the rotating component 2 rotates until the water distribution hole 211 is only connected to the second water outlet cavity 13, and the angle at which the water outlet hole 15 flows outward is the largest. Conversely, pushing the push button 6 will have the opposite effect. Since at least one of the water outlet ends of the first water outlet chamber 12 and the second water outlet chamber 13 is an acceleration hole 18, the acceleration hole 18 is suitable for accelerating the water flow and generating a pressurization effect, which makes the water outlet 15 output water at a faster speed, increases the impact force, and enhances the user experience.

[0082] In this embodiment, the rotating member 2 is rotated by the push button 6. In other embodiments, the rotating member 2 can be directly operated by the user to rotate.

[0083] Compared with the prior art, this embodiment has the following beneficial effects:

[0084] In one exemplary embodiment, a water outlet device includes a body 1 and a rotating component 2. The body 1 has a water inlet channel 11, a first water outlet chamber 12, a second water outlet chamber 13, and a water outlet 15 adapted to communicate with both the first and second water outlet chambers 12 and 13. The rotating component 2 is rotatably connected to the body 1 and has a water distribution hole 211. The inlet end of the water distribution hole 211 communicates with the water inlet channel 11, and the outlet end of the water distribution hole 211 is adapted to communicate with both the first and second water outlet chambers 12 and 13. When the water distribution hole 211 communicates only with the first water outlet chamber 12, water flows inward from the water outlet 15; when the water distribution hole 211 communicates only with the second water outlet chamber 13, water flows outward from the water outlet 15, achieving the experience of the same water outlet 15 but with different water flow directions. Alternatively, the water distribution hole 211 can be communicated with both the first and second water outlet chambers 12 and 13, allowing the water pattern to be between the two states described above.

[0085] refer to Figure 20When there are multiple water outlets 15, the water distribution hole 211 is only connected to the second water outlet chamber 13. Each water outlet 15 can spray water outwards, resulting in a larger water spray area, meeting the user's need for large-area water spray, such as for showering and bathing. When the water distribution hole 211 is only connected to the first water outlet chamber 12, the water from each outlet 15 will converge into a single stream, generating the strongest impact force, which can be used as a spray gun to meet the user's cleaning and rinsing needs. When the water distribution hole 211 is connected to both the first and second water outlet chambers 12, it falls between the two scenarios mentioned above. The water spray area is more concentrated, with a large and powerful water flow that is not stinging or spraying randomly. This is suitable for washing hair, especially for women with thick and long hair, as it allows for easier wetting of the scalp and quick rinsing.

[0086] Since at least one of the water outlet ends of the first water outlet chamber 12 and the second water outlet chamber 13 is an acceleration hole 18, the acceleration hole 18 is suitable for accelerating the water flow and generating a pressurization effect, which makes the water outlet 15 have a faster water flow speed, increases the impact force, enhances the user experience, and can be used even at low pressure. As the connection area between the water distribution hole 211 and the corresponding water outlet chamber increases, the acceleration effect of the corresponding water outlet mode becomes more obvious.

[0087] In one exemplary embodiment, the water outlet 15 is provided with a first wall 151 and a second wall 152. The first wall 151 is inclined inward and the second wall 152 is inclined outward. When the water distribution hole 211 is only connected to the first water outlet cavity 12, the water flow of the first water outlet cavity 12 flows out along the first wall 151, so that the water outlet 15 flows out inward. When the water distribution hole 211 is only connected to the second water outlet cavity 13, the water flow of the second water outlet cavity 13 flows out along the second wall 152, so that the water outlet 15 flows outward. The water outlet 15 of this water outlet device can have different water outlet directions, that is, it can have the form of internal water outlet and external water outlet, so as to facilitate user use.

[0088] In one exemplary embodiment, the water distribution hole 211 is adapted to correspond simultaneously with the first water outlet chamber 12 and the second water outlet chamber 13, so as to simultaneously connect the first water outlet chamber 12 and the second water outlet chamber 13. It is also adapted that when the corresponding area of ​​one of the water distribution hole 211 and the first water outlet chamber 12 and the second water outlet chamber 13 increases, the corresponding area of ​​the water distribution hole 211 and the other of the two decreases. Therefore, during the rotation of the rotating member 2, the water outlet angle of the water outlet hole 15 continuously changes from the inside to the outside or from the outside to the inside, ensuring continuous water flow. When the water outlet end of the second water outlet chamber 13 is the acceleration hole 18, adjusting the water outlet angle from the inside to the outside will have a gradual pressure increase effect, allowing for adjustable pressure showering, which is beneficial for low-pressure boosting bathing. When the water outlet end of the first water outlet chamber 12 is the acceleration hole 18, adjusting the water outlet angle from the outside to the inside will have a gradual pressure increase effect, which is beneficial for concentrated pressure boosting rinsing.

[0089] In one exemplary embodiment, the water outlet 15 is provided with a first water inlet surface 153 and a second water inlet surface 154. Both the second water inlet surface 154 and the first water inlet surface 153 face the water outlet end of the water outlet 15, and the second water inlet surface 154 is closer to the water outlet end of the water outlet 15 than the first water inlet surface 153. The water outlet end of the first water outlet cavity 12 opens to the first water inlet surface 153, and the water outlet end of the second water outlet cavity 13 opens to the second water inlet surface 154, so as to prevent the water outlet openings of the first water outlet cavity 12 and the second water outlet cavity 13 from being located on the same plane and affecting the generation of water shape.

[0090] In one exemplary embodiment, the body 1 has a first surface 141, and the inlet ends of the first water outlet cavity 12 and the second water outlet cavity 13 are both open on the first surface 141. The rotating member 2 has a second surface 212 facing the first surface 141, and the outlet end of the water distribution hole 211 is open on the second surface 212. The two ends of the biasing member 4 act on the body 1 and the rotating member 2 respectively, so that the first surface 141 and the second surface 212 fit together, preventing a gap between the first surface 141 and the second surface 212, which would cause water to always pass through the first water outlet cavity 12 and the second water outlet cavity 13, affecting the use.

[0091] In one exemplary embodiment, the biasing member 4 includes an elastic member 41 and a shaft core 42. The elastic member 41 is sleeved on the shaft core 42, and the two ends of the elastic member 41 act on the body 1 and the shaft core 42 respectively. The shaft core 42 abuts against the rotating member 2. The shaft core 42 connects the elastic member 41 and the rotating member 2, so that the rotating member 2 is subjected to more uniform force and can rotate more smoothly.

[0092] In one exemplary embodiment, the push button 6 is slidably connected to the body 1, the rotating component 2 is provided with a first actuating part 223 that is eccentric to its rotation axis, and the push button 6 is provided with a second actuating part 61. One of the first actuating part 223 and the second actuating part 61 is a groove, and the other is a protrusion. The protrusion is adapted to slide in the groove and cooperate with the groove wall to prevent the rotation of the rotating component 2 from jamming.

[0093] In one exemplary embodiment, one of the push button 6 and the body 1 is provided with a guide groove 19, and the other is provided with a slider 62 that slides in cooperation with the guide groove 19. The slider 62 is adapted to rotate the rotating member 2 so that the water distribution hole 211 is only connected to the first water outlet chamber 12 when it abuts against one side wall of the guide groove 19, and to rotate the rotating member 2 so that the water distribution hole 211 is only connected to the second water outlet chamber 13 when it abuts against the other side wall of the guide groove 19, so as to realize the use of a certain state.

[0094] Example 2

[0095] In the above embodiments, the user applies a direct or indirect force to the rotating component 2 to cause it to rotate. This embodiment differs from Embodiment 1 in that it refers to... Figures 12-19The rotating member 2 is driven by water force when water enters the water inlet channel 11. In this embodiment, the water outlet device also includes an operating member 5 to stop the rotating member 2, so that the rotating member 2 is no longer driven by water force.

[0096] In this embodiment, reference is made to Figure 14 The inlet channel 11 is provided with an inclined water hole 111, which is connected to the water distribution chamber 14. The water outlet direction of the inclined water hole 111 is inclined so as to drive the rotating component 2 in the water distribution chamber 14 to rotate in one direction by water force. In other embodiments, the opening and closing of two inclined water holes 111 with different water outlet inclinations can also be controlled, that is, when one inclined water hole 111 is open, the other inclined water hole 111 is closed, so that the rotating component 2 rotates repeatedly in both directions.

[0097] The rotating component 2 has a free rotational state when not restricted by the operating component 5. The rotating component 2 is also restricted by the operating component 5 to be in either a first or second stopping position. When the rotating component 2 is stopped in the first or second stopping position, the water distribution hole 211 is in one of the following stopping states: ① the water distribution hole 211 corresponds only to the first water outlet chamber 12; ② the water distribution hole 211 corresponds only to the second water outlet chamber 13; ③ the water distribution hole 211 corresponds to both the first and second water outlet chambers 12 and 13 simultaneously; ④ the water distribution hole 211 does not correspond to either the first or second water outlet chamber 12. According to the design, the rotating component 2 can be positioned in one of the above stopping states when stopped in the first or second stopping position. Of course, if the rotating component 2 has more stopping positions, it can also include more stopping states to improve the function of the water outlet device. When the rotating component 2 is in the stopping position, it is no longer driven by water, satisfying the user's continuous use of a certain state. In this embodiment, when the rotating member 2 is stopped at the first stopping position and the second stopping position, it corresponds to ① and ② respectively.

[0098] It should be understood that when there is no corresponding stopping state, the water distribution hole 211 is not required to have a corresponding relationship. For example, if there is no stopping state in which the water distribution hole 211 does not correspond to either the first water outlet cavity 12 or the second water outlet cavity 13, the rotating member 2, when in a state of free rotation, may have a state in which the water distribution hole 211 does not correspond to either the first water outlet cavity 12 or the second water outlet cavity 13, or it may not have the aforementioned state. In other embodiments, the rotating member 2 may only have a first stopping position. When the rotating member 2 stops at the first stopping position, the water distribution hole 211 is located in one of the aforementioned stopping states.

[0099] Specifically, refer to Figure 14The rotating component 2 includes a rotating shaft plate 21 and a rotating plate 22. The rotating shaft plate 21 has blades 213 to be adapted to rotate under hydraulic drive when water enters the water inlet channel 11. When the area corresponding to the water distribution hole 211 increases with respect to one of the first water outlet chamber 12 and the second water outlet chamber 13, the area corresponding to the other water outlet chamber decreases. When the corresponding area increases, the flow rate of the corresponding water outlet chamber increases, and vice versa. This enables automatic inward and outward swinging water discharge without interruption.

[0100] refer to Figure 14 The rotating plate 22 is provided with a rotating body 221 and a limiting protrusion 222 protruding from the rotating body 221 in a direction away from its rotation axis.

[0101] refer to Figures 15-17 The operating element 5 is adapted to move relative to the body 1 in a first position, a second position, and a third position, such as by sliding or rotating the operating element 5 to the body 1. In this embodiment, the operating element 5 is slidably connected to the body 1, with part of the operating element 5 placed inside the mounting cavity 16 to cooperate with the rotating plate 22, and part exposed in the operating hole 161 for operation. (Reference) Figure 19 The portion of the operating component 5 located within the mounting cavity 16 is provided with a first limiting surface 51 and a second limiting surface 52.

[0102] When the operating member 5 slides to the first position, the first limiting surface 51 is adapted to move to the rotation path of the limiting protrusion 222. When the limiting protrusion 222 rotates to abut against the first limiting surface 51, it blocks the rotation of the limiting protrusion 222, thereby causing the rotating member 2 to be unable to rotate and stop at the first stopping position.

[0103] When the operating member 5 slides to the third position, the second limiting surface 52 is adapted to move to the rotation path of the limiting protrusion 222 so that the rotating member 2 stops at the second stopping position.

[0104] When the operating member 5 slides to the second position, both the first limiting surface 51 and the second limiting surface 52 give way to the limiting protrusion 222, thereby allowing the rotating member 2 to rotate under hydraulic drive. (Reference) Figure 19 The first limiting surface 51 and the second limiting surface 52 can be located on the same protrusion 53, or they can be located on two protrusions 53 in different regions. In this embodiment, the second position is located between the first position and the third position.

[0105] When using, refer to Figure 17 , Figure 18Water begins to enter through the inlet channel 11 and flows into the water distribution chamber 14 through the inclined water hole 111, causing the rotating component 2 to rotate. If the operating component 5 is in the second position at this time, the rotating component 2 continues to rotate under hydraulic pressure. The water distribution hole 211 continuously switches between three states: corresponding only to the first water outlet chamber 12, corresponding to both the first and second water outlet chambers 13 simultaneously, and corresponding only to the second water outlet chamber 13. When the rotation speed of the rotating component 2 is slow, the water outlet 15 continuously flows through internal water outlet, intermediate state, and external water outlet. The water from the water outlet 15 automatically circulates internally and externally, improving the massage effect. Figure 20 As shown; when the rotation speed of rotating component 2 is relatively fast, due to the rapid change in the water shape, the following will occur: Figure 21 The shape of water splashes.

[0106] At this time, operating the operating component 5 to the first position, the first limiting surface 51 of the operating component 5 blocks the limiting protrusion 222 of the rotating component 2, thereby causing the rotating component 2 to stop at the first stopping position, so that the water distribution hole 211 corresponds only to the first water outlet cavity 12, and the water outlet hole 15 discharges water inward. When operating the operating component 5 to the second position, the second limiting surface 52 of the operating component 5 blocks the limiting protrusion 222 of the rotating component 2, thereby causing the rotating component 2 to stop at the second stopping position, so that the water distribution hole 211 corresponds only to the second water outlet cavity 13, and the water outlet hole 15 discharges water outward. Since at least one of the water outlet ends of the first water outlet cavity 12 and the second water outlet cavity 13 is an acceleration hole 18, the acceleration hole 18 is suitable for accelerating the water flow and generating a pressurization effect, so that the water outlet hole 15 discharges water at a faster speed, increases the impact force, improves the user experience, and can also be used under low pressure. When the water outlet end of the second water outlet chamber 13 is the acceleration hole 18, adjusting the water outlet angle from the inside out will gradually increase the pressure, which is beneficial for adjustable pressure showering and low-pressure boosting bathing. When the water outlet end of the first water outlet chamber 12 is the acceleration hole 18, adjusting the water outlet angle from the outside in will gradually increase the pressure, which is beneficial for concentrated pressure boosting rinsing.

[0107] The foregoing description of the specifications and embodiments is intended to explain the scope of protection of this utility model, but does not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. Modifications, equivalent substitutions, or other improvements to the embodiments of this utility model or a portion thereof that can be obtained by those skilled in the art through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation, based on the teachings of this utility model or the foregoing embodiments, should all be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
