Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a water outlet device and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method of the water outlet device is an energy-saving and environment-friendly preparation method. Background Art

[0002] Water outlets are now ubiquitous in our lives, especially showerheads. Existing showerheads typically weld their engine components. For multifunctional, multi-channel designs, this requires welding multiple baffles. This approach is used by major manufacturers. However, given the stabilization of manufacturing costs associated with this molding method, it's difficult to reduce them. This makes it difficult for manufacturers with higher manufacturing costs to compete with lower-cost counterparts. Currently, multifunctional products require welding multiple baffles to create multiple water channels and cavities. This approach requires a larger footprint. Traditional welding methods involve sequentially welding the outlet panel, baffles, and water distributor. The new welding structure, however, involves first assembling the components that require welding together before welding them to the water distributor. Given the increasingly sophisticated product designs demanded by today's customers, creating a multi-functional engine layout within a compact space presents a challenge for manufacturers. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the object of the present invention is to provide a water outlet device and a preparation method thereof.

[0004] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A water outlet device includes a water outlet panel, a water diversion tray and a cover plate, characterized in that a water passage cavity is formed between the cover plate, the water diversion tray and the water outlet panel, a convex rib is provided above the middle portion of the water outlet panel, a connecting portion is provided below the middle portion of the water diversion tray, the connecting portion is recessed from bottom to top to form a groove for inserting the convex rib, the top surface of the convex rib is in contact with the bottom surface of the groove, a connecting rib is provided below the cover plate, and the connecting rib is connected to the upper end surface of the connecting portion located at the groove.

[0006] In the embodiment of the present invention, when the water diversion tray is placed in the water outlet panel, the top of the outer peripheral wall of the water diversion tray is flush with the top of the outer peripheral wall of the water outlet panel, and the bottom of the groove is flush with the top of the outer peripheral wall of the water outlet panel.

[0007] In the embodiment of the present invention, the bottom end of the outer peripheral wall of the surface cover is flush with the bottom end of the connecting rib.

[0008] The present invention also discloses another technical feature:

[0009] A method for preparing a water outlet device comprises the following steps:

[0010] S1. Insert the ribs of the water outlet panel into the grooves of the water distribution plate to complete the assembly of the water distribution plate and the water outlet panel; S2. Hot plate weld the components assembled in S1 to the surface cover.

[0011] The water outlet device and its manufacturing method of the present invention offer the following beneficial effects: A novel welding method allows the components comprising multiple channels to be assembled together during the engine forming process, with one component then selected and welded to the assembled component group. This method reduces the height of the product structure, making it suitable for small-space product designs and offering wide versatility. Furthermore, this welding method reduces the number of welds required in the prior art to a single weld, facilitating material management, reducing production steps and time, and significantly reducing engine production costs. This structure offers wide applicability, numerous advantages, and strong interoperability across different products. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0012] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, the following briefly introduces the drawings required for use in the embodiments or descriptions of the prior art. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without paying any creative work.

[0013] Figure 1 It is an exploded view of the present invention.

[0014] Figure 2 It is a cross-sectional view of the present invention.

[0015] Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] Referring to the drawings in the specification, a water outlet device includes a water outlet panel 10, a water diversion tray 20 and a cover plate 30. A water passage cavity 40 is formed between the cover plate and the water outlet panel. In a preferred use process, there are two or more independent ones between the cover plate and the water outlet panel. A convex rib 11 is provided above the middle part of the water outlet panel, and a connecting portion 21 is provided below the middle part of the water diversion tray. The connecting portion is recessed from bottom to top to form a groove 22 for inserting the convex rib. The top surface of the convex rib is in contact with the bottom surface of the groove. A connecting rib 31 is provided below the cover plate, and the connecting rib is connected to the upper end surface of the connecting portion located at the groove.

[0018] More specifically, when the water diversion tray is placed in the water outlet panel, the top A1 of the water diversion tray's outer wall is flush with the top A2 of the water outlet panel's outer wall, the bottom A3 of the groove is flush with the top of the water outlet panel's outer wall, and the bottom A4 of the cover's outer wall is flush with the bottom A5 of the connecting rib.

[0019] The present invention also discloses another technical feature:

[0020] A method for preparing a water outlet device comprises the following steps:

[0021] S1. Insert the ribs of the water outlet panel into the grooves of the water distribution plate to complete the assembly of the water distribution plate and the water outlet panel; S2. Hot plate weld the components assembled in S1 to the surface cover.

[0022] The present invention forms an assembly by welding the water outlet panel and the water diversion plate. During welding, the water outlet panel, the water diversion plate and the surface cover at the groove are welded together at the same time, and the welding of the outer periphery of the surface cover and the outer periphery of the water outlet panel is also completed. In the reference figure, B is marked as the welding point. Only one hot plate welding process is required to complete the preparation. Compared with multiple welding in the existing technology, the use of process costs is greatly reduced, and it is also an energy-saving production and preparation method.

[0023] The above disclosure is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and certainly cannot be used to limit the scope of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the claims of the present invention are still within the scope of the present invention.
