Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an easily detachable water outlet structure. Background Technology

[0002] Existing water outlet structures, such as the water outlet holes on the water outlet plates of shower heads and shower heads, are becoming increasingly smaller in diameter to meet energy-saving and water-saving requirements and to increase shower impact. This makes it easy for impurities in the raw water to clog the holes. Furthermore, existing water outlet plates are generally not easy to disassemble for cleaning, and some are even manufactured as a single piece, making disassembly impossible. However, some detachable shower heads on the market require special tools for removal, commonly using screws for tightening. This necessitates the use of screwdrivers for installation and removal, which is not only cumbersome but also causes considerable inconvenience for users. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide an easy-to-disassemble water outlet structure.

[0004] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

In the description of the invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "top," "bottom," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, are used only for the convenience of describing the invention and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the invention. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. Moreover, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0026] Referring to the accompanying drawings, a water outlet structure that is easy to assemble and disassemble includes a matching water outlet body 10 and a water outlet panel 20. In this invention, the water outlet body and the water outlet panel can be separated or combined to form a water outlet structure. The water outlet structure shown in the figure is a handheld shower head. The outer periphery of the water outlet body is provided with a first recessed groove 11, and the outer periphery of the water outlet panel is provided with a first engaging block 21 that can engage with the first groove. The first engaging block can be screwed into the first groove, thus realizing the matching connection between the water outlet body and the water outlet panel. When the first engaging block is screwed into the first groove, the water outlet body and the water outlet panel are connected together. In one embodiment, the number of first engaging blocks and first grooves are equal and distributed in a ring. The water outlet is positioned on the outer periphery of the water outlet structure. A mounting port 12 is located in the middle of the water outlet body, and a button 30 is installed inside the mounting port. A protruding ring 13 is located at the mounting port, and the protruding ring has a through hole 14 that mates with the outer periphery of the button. In this invention, the button can move along the axis of the through hole. A first opening 15 is provided on the protruding ring, connecting to the through hole. A stop 31 is provided on the periphery of the button, allowing it to pass through the first opening. This stop 31 moves along the axis of the through hole within the first opening. A through hole 22 is provided in the middle of the water outlet panel, allowing the button to be exposed for easy pressing by the user. A protruding second locking block 23 is provided on the inner periphery of the through hole, which mates with the stop block and the first opening. (Refer to the accompanying drawings for reference.) Figure 4 , Figure 5 The present invention is in the following state after installation: with the installation port as a reference, there is a gap 40 on the side of the convex ring facing away from the water outlet panel. The second locking block and the stop block are located in the above-mentioned gap and on the same radial plane. In use, the convex ring can block the second locking block from moving radially relative to each other. The second locking block is located next to the stop block, which can prevent the first locking block from rotating, thereby restricting the rotation of the water outlet panel. This can ensure that the first locking block is always in the first locking groove, and the stop block cooperates with the first opening. That is to say, the stop block can only move within the space of the first opening relative to the axis of the installation port. After installation, the water outlet body and the water outlet panel cannot be separated.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a spring 50 is provided between the button and the water outlet body, the spring ensuring that the button and the water outlet body have a relative force.

[0028] Furthermore, at least two first slots are provided at intervals on the outer periphery of the water outlet body. The inlet and outlet 16 of the first slot is provided with an inclined surface 17 that can cooperate with the first locking block. The inclined surface can provide a pushing force when the water outlet panel is unscrewed, lifting the water outlet panel from the water outlet body. This misalignment allows the user to directly remove the water outlet panel from the water outlet body.

[0029] To connect the button to the water outlet body, a second opening 18 is provided on the convex ring. A raised rib 32 is provided around the button, passing through the second opening. Similarly, the rib can only move within the space between the second opening and the axis of the mounting opening. A buckle 33, which mates with the convex ring, is provided on the rib around the button. After installation, the buckle is located within the empty space, thus the buckle contacts the end face of the convex ring, preventing the button from detaching from the water outlet body under spring force or its own weight, and also limiting the button's travel in one direction. To facilitate the installation of the button and the water outlet body, a first inclined surface 34 is provided on the buckle, and a second inclined surface 19, which mates with the first inclined surface, is provided on the second opening. The engagement of the inclined surfaces allows the buckled end of the rib to be inserted into the empty space. More specifically, the buckle is located on the end of the button facing away from the water outlet panel, and the other end of the button mates with the through hole for easy pressing by the user.

[0030] To ensure that the water outlet structure does not leak, a sealing ring 60 is provided between the water outlet body and the water outlet panel.

[0031] More specifically: In this invention, the outer and inner peripheries of the water outlet panel are provided with locking blocks, the outer ring of the water outlet body is provided with a locking groove that mates with the water outlet panel, and the stop of the button is used to restrict the rotation of the second locking block. In a preferred embodiment of this invention, there are two of each of the first opening, second opening, second locking block, rib, and stop, symmetrically distributed in pairs, as shown in the attached drawings.

[0032] Refer to the attached diagram in the instruction manual. Figure 6 The present invention discloses the water outlet panel in the unlocked state, in which the water outlet panel can rotate, as follows: Pressing the button causes the stop block and the second locking block to form an axial misalignment. At this time, the stop block and the second locking block are on different radial planes, realizing the unlocking of the water outlet panel in the circumferential rotation direction. In this state, the stop block no longer restricts the second locking block, allowing the second locking block to rotate. That is to say, the water outlet panel can rotate relative to the water outlet body. At this time, the first locking block rotates out of the first locking slot until the first locking block is located at the inlet and outlet of the first locking slot, and the second locking block is axially aligned with the first opening. At the same time, under the action of the inclined plane, the water outlet panel separates from the water outlet body. At this time, the water outlet panel and the water outlet body can be separated.

[0033] Refer to the attached diagram in the instruction manual. Figure 7When the water outlet panel of this invention needs to be installed into the water outlet body, the first locking block of the water outlet panel is aligned and placed into the inlet / outlet of the first locking slot. At this time, the second locking block is also aligned with the first opening and the stop block. The three of them are in the same axial space of the first opening. Then, it is rotated and installed. At this time, the second locking block presses against the stop block, so that the button is in a compressed state (the spring is compressed). As the water outlet panel rotates, the first locking block rotates into the first locking slot, and the second locking block is located in the empty part. When it is rotated to the position, the stop block and the second locking block separate and do not coincide in the axial space relative to the first opening. Under the action of the spring, the button rebounds. At this time, the stop block on the button and the second locking block are again in the empty part and on the same radial plane, returning to the state after the water outlet body and the water outlet panel are installed.

[0034] The foregoing description illustrates and describes preferred embodiments of the present invention. As previously stated, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the forms disclosed herein and should not be construed as excluding other embodiments. It can be used in various other combinations, modifications, and environments, and can be altered within the scope of the inventive concept described herein through the foregoing teachings or techniques or knowledge in related fields. Any modifications and variations made by those skilled in the art that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention should be within the protection scope of the appended claims.
