Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water outlet devices, and in particular to a water outlet device. Background Art

[0002] Conventional water outlet devices, such as showerheads, typically include a handle and a water outlet. To switch the showerhead's water outlet function, a water diversion tray is typically provided at the showerhead's outlet. The user can then toggle the showerhead cover in a direction perpendicular to the showerhead cover's rotational axis to switch between different water channels on the diversion tray. However, due to the high friction between the showerhead cover and the diversion tray, or the presence of a mechanism for locking the position, this design requires the user to grasp the handle with one hand and toggle the showerhead cover with the other, making single-handed operation impossible and inconvenient. To address this issue, a conventional device has been developed that includes a dial button on the showerhead handle and a slide rod within the handle that mates with the dial button's inclined surface. The slide rod is provided with multiple sealing rings along a sliding direction, along with corresponding water diversion holes. When the dial button is toggled, the slide rod slides, causing different sealing rings to cooperate with the internal water channels of the showerhead handle to open or block different water diversion holes, thereby enabling single-handed switching of the showerhead's water outlet function. However, since the shower head of this structure has a dial button and a slide rod in the middle of the shower head handle, it is necessary to consider the connection with the water outlet end of the shower head and how to arrange the water inlet and outlet channels during assembly. The overall structure is very complicated and assembly is also relatively difficult, which greatly increases the manufacturing cost. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned defects or problems existing in the background technology, and to provide a water outlet device, the main body of the water outlet device includes a hand-held part and a water outlet part, and a rotating part and a sliding part are provided on the water outlet part. The user can control the sliding part to slide up and down by rotating the rotating part, thereby controlling the water path switching of the water outlet device. At the same time, the rotating part is installed at the end of the water outlet part, so the assembly process of the rotating part is very simple, and there is no need to consider the connection relationship with other components. On the premise of ensuring that the switching function of the water outlet device is simple and easy to operate, the assembly difficulty and the internal water path layout difficulty are reduced, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] Furthermore, the outer wall of the sliding member is fixedly sleeved with a plurality of sealing rings along its sliding direction; the first opening is located between the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring, and when the sliding member slides to the first position, the water outlet corresponds to the position between the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring; the outer wall of the sliding member between the third sealing ring and the fourth sealing ring cooperates with the inner wall of the sliding cavity to form the water outlet gap, and when the sliding member slides to the second position, the water outlet corresponds to the position between the third sealing ring and the fourth sealing ring.

[0009] Furthermore, when the sliding member slides to the third position, the water outlet corresponds to the position between the second sealing ring and the third sealing ring to cut off the communication between the water outlet and the first water outlet and the second water outlet.

[0010] Furthermore, at least two inclined grooves are evenly distributed along the circumference of the rotating member; and the sliding blocks are distributed along the circumference of the sliding member corresponding to the inclined grooves.

[0011] Furthermore, the rotating member includes a rotating body and a cover body fixed to the rotating body; the rotating body is provided with a first inclined surface inclined relative to the rotating axis; the cover body is provided with a second inclined surface facing the first inclined surface and consistent with the inclination direction of the first inclined surface; the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface cooperate to form the inclined groove.

[0012] Furthermore, one end of the rotating member facing the sliding member is provided with a notch which is connected to the end of the inclined groove and is used for the sliding block to pass through to enter the inclined groove; when the sliding member slides to the second position, it abuts against the water outlet to limit it in its sliding direction.

[0013] Furthermore, one end of the water outlet is provided with a rotating ring groove extending along its circumference; and the rotating member is provided with a rotating clamping block for clamping with the rotating ring groove.

[0014] Furthermore, when the sliding member slides to the first position, the second position and the third position, the sliding member and the corresponding sealing ring are configured to be subjected to equal water flow pressure on both sides of the sliding direction.

[0015] Furthermore, one end of the water outlet facing the water passage cavity is provided with a transition surface on the inner wall of the water passage cavity along its circumference, the transition surface being directed toward the inside of the water outlet and inclined outwardly relative to the water passage cavity.

[0016] From the above description of the present invention, it can be seen that compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. The main body of the water outlet device is provided with a water outlet for discharging water, and a sliding cavity for installing a sliding member is provided in the water outlet, and the sliding cavity can introduce water through the water outlet, and the water flow can be switched to flow to the first water outlet or the second water outlet after entering the sliding cavity; the switching of the water outlet device is achieved by the cooperation of a rotating member and a sliding member, wherein the rotating member is installed at one end of the water outlet. Since it is arranged at the end position, only one end of the rotating member needs to cooperate with the water outlet, thereby reducing the difficulty of installing the rotating member and the difficulty of assembling the water outlet device as a whole; at the same time, one of the rotating member or the sliding member is provided with an inclined groove, and the other is provided with a sliding block, and the sliding hole can be inserted into the inclined groove and along the extension of the inclined groove. The cam is mounted on the water outlet and the control panel, and the control panel is installed so that the rotation of the rotating part can be converted into an up and down sliding movement of the sliding part, so that the sliding part can move back and forth between the first position and the second position. The connection between the water outlet and the first water outlet or the second water outlet can be switched through the movement of the sliding part, thereby realizing the switching of different water outlet functions of the water outlet device. At the same time, since the inclined groove and the sliding block are used to realize the conversion of the rotating action to the sliding action, there is no need to set a reset part in the water outlet device, so that the operating feel of the rotating part can always remain consistent, thereby improving the comfort during operation. The water outlet device as a whole has the advantages of convenient switching of water outlet functions, low assembly difficulty and simple structure.

[0018] 2. The sliding member is provided with a water channel connected to the first water outlet. The water outlet can be connected to the water channel through a first opening provided on the side wall of the sliding member. Since the water channel is provided inside the sliding member, the water channel layout of the water outlet device at the water outlet portion is simpler. There is no need to provide a water channel in the water outlet portion for connecting with the first water outlet. The connection can be made directly through the water channel in the sliding member.

[0019] 3. The outer wall of the sliding part also cooperates with the inner wall of the sliding cavity to form a water flow gap. At the same time, a second opening is provided on the side wall of the sliding cavity. Through the water flow gap and the second opening, the water outlet can be connected with the second water outlet. Since the water flow gap is formed by the outer wall of the sliding part and the inner wall of the sliding cavity, the main body of the water outlet device does not need to be provided with a separate water channel on the water outlet part, thereby reducing the complexity of the water channel layout of the main body.

[0020] 4. A plurality of sealing rings are sleeved on the sliding member. By utilizing the sealing effect of the sealing rings, the water outlet can be individually matched to the positions of the first opening and the water gap, thereby achieving the purpose of switching the water outlet function.

[0021] 5. The sliding member can also slide to a third position between the first position and the second position, and when sliding to the third position, the water flow of the water outlet is blocked by the second sealing ring and the third sealing ring, thereby closing the water outlet of the water outlet device.

[0022] 6. At least two inclined grooves are evenly distributed on the circumference of the rotating part, and corresponding sliding blocks are provided on the sliding part. The sliding blocks can be inserted into the inclined grooves and slide along the extension direction of the inclined grooves. Since the inclined grooves are evenly distributed on the circumference of the rotating part, the force on the rotating part in the axial direction of its rotation remains uniform, which can reduce the probability of damage or falling off of the rotating part. At the same time, since the water channel on the sliding part is arranged inside the sliding part, the water channel does not need to be arranged in the body of the water outlet device, thereby providing space for the sliding part to be centrally arranged relative to the rotating part.

[0023] 7. The rotating member includes a rotating body and a cover body. A first inclined surface is provided on the rotating body, and a second inclined surface is provided on the cover body. When the cover body is buckled on the rotating body, the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface will cooperate to form the above-mentioned inclined groove. This structure can facilitate the installation of the sliding member. The sliding member can be inserted into the rotating body first and the sliding block can be overlapped on the first inclined surface. Then the cover body can be fixed so that the sliding block is inserted into the inclined groove.

[0024] 8. The rotating part is provided with a notch connected to the inclined groove. The notch can be passed through by the sliding block so that the sliding block enters the inclined groove, which facilitates the assembly between the sliding part and the rotating part. At the same time, the sliding part is also limited by the water outlet part, so that the sliding part will not fall out of the inclined groove from the notch when it slides to the position of the notch.

[0025] 9. A rotating ring groove is provided on the water outlet, and a rotating block is provided on the rotating member that can be engaged in the rotating ring groove and slide along the rotating ring groove, so that the rotating member can rotate relative to the water outlet while achieving axial limitation relative to the water outlet.

[0026] 10. When the slider slides to the first, second, and third positions, the water pressure on both sides of the sliding direction offset each other, so that the sliding of the slider can avoid the influence of the water pressure, making the user's control feel more comfortable.

[0027] 11. An inclined transition surface is provided to prevent the sealing ring on the sliding part from being cut against the port of the water outlet when passing through the water outlet, thereby increasing the service life of the sealing ring and the service life of the entire device.

[0045] In the claims, description and drawings of the present invention, if the terms "include", "have" and their variations are used, they are intended to mean "including but not limited to".

[0046] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 The structure explosion diagram of the embodiment 1 of a water outlet device provided by the present invention is shown. The water outlet device mainly includes a body, a sliding member 30, a rotating member and several sealing rings.

[0047] The main body can be divided into a handheld portion and a water outlet portion. The handheld portion is used for holding by the user, and the water outlet portion is used to form water. Specifically, the main body is composed of a water outlet device body 10, a water inlet connector 11, a sliding cavity seat 12, a water outlet member 13 and a bubbler 14. The water outlet device body includes a first tubular member extending along a first direction. The first tubular member forms the handheld portion of the body. Figure 5 The interior of the first tubular component is hollow to form a water inlet channel 102. The water inlet joint 11 is plugged and fixed to one end of the first tubular component and is used to connect with an external water inlet pipe to introduce external water into the water inlet channel 102.

[0048] The water outlet device body 10 further includes a second tubular member extending in a second direction. The second tubular member is integrally formed with the first tubular member, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. In particular, the portion where the first tubular member and the second tubular member meet is located near the upper end of the second tubular member. This arrangement can enhance the overall aesthetics of the water outlet device and facilitate the user to identify the correct water outlet direction of the water outlet device. Figures 5 to 7 A vertically continuous chamber is disposed within the second tubular member. A water inlet 103 is provided on the sidewall of the chamber. This inlet 103 communicates with the water inlet channel 102 in the first tubular member and is used to direct water into the chamber. Several upwardly extending anti-rotation protrusions 101 are also disposed at the upper end of the second tubular member. These anti-rotation protrusions 101 form anti-rotation grooves extending in the second direction.

[0049] In addition, the water outlet device body 10 is also provided with an elastic pin installation groove, which is used to install the bumper spring 23 and the bumper 22. The bumper 22 can abut against the rotating part to form a gear sense.

[0050] Reference Figures 5 to 7 The water outlet member 13 is screwed to the lower opening of the second tubular member, and a through hole extending in the second direction is formed in the middle of the water outlet member. This through hole forms the first water outlet 131 of the water outlet member. An annular through groove extending parallel to the second direction is provided on the periphery of the water outlet member 13, and the lower end of this annular through groove forms the second water outlet 132. In particular, in this embodiment, the water flow area of the second water outlet 132 gradually decreases along the water outlet direction, so that the water flow can be ejected from the second water outlet 132 to form spray gun water. In addition, a bubbler 14 is installed at the lower end of the water outlet member 13 and is connected to the first water outlet 131, and is used to form bubble water when water is discharged from the first water outlet 131.

[0051] Reference Figures 5 to 7 and Figure 10 The structure for forming the chamber inside the second tubular member has a lower end surface. The sliding chamber seat 12 is used to cooperate with the chamber inside the second tubular member to form a sliding chamber. When installed, its upper end surface abuts the lower end surface of the second tubular member. At the same time, the lower end surface of the sliding chamber seat 12 abuts the water outlet 13, thereby forming an axial limit, so that the sliding chamber seat 12 is fixed in the second tubular member. A cylindrical chamber is formed in the middle of the sliding chamber seat 12. The cylindrical chamber has openings at both ends, and the lower end is connected to the first water outlet 131 on the water outlet 13. A second opening 121 is also provided on the side wall of the circular chamber. When the sliding chamber seat 12 is installed in the second tubular member, its outer wall cooperates with the inner wall of the second tubular member to form a connecting waterway 122. The connecting waterway 122 is used to connect the second opening 121 and the second water outlet 132. At the same time, the cylindrical chamber of the sliding chamber seat 12 cooperates with the chamber formed on the second tubular member to form a sliding chamber, in which the sliding member 30 can slide. At the same time, the second opening 121 is used to connect the sliding chamber with the second water outlet 132.

[0052] In addition, refer to Figure 10 The sliding cavity seat 12 and the opening on the water outlet device body 10 cooperate to form a water outlet 103. At the end of the water outlet 103 facing the water cavity, a transition surface 1031 is provided on the inner wall of the water cavity along the circumference of the water outlet 103, facing the inside of the water outlet 103 and inclined outward relative to the water cavity. The transition surface 1031 is specifically an inclined surface provided on the water outlet device body 10 and the sliding cavity seat 12.

[0053] The fixing seat 15 is fixedly connected to the upper end opening of the second tubular member by means of a snap-fitting method, and a rotating annular groove 151 extending along the circumferential direction is provided on the outer side wall of the fixing seat 15 .

[0054] The aforementioned fixing seat 15 , the second tubular member, the sliding cavity seat 12 , the water outlet member 13 and the bubbler 14 together constitute the water outlet portion of the body, which is used to form water outlet.

[0055] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The rotating member includes a rotating body 20 and a cover body 21, which is installed at the upper end of the water outlet and is rotatably connected to the body around a rotating axis parallel to the sliding direction of the sliding member 30.

[0056] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 The rotating body 20 is provided with a main body portion and a handle 201 integrally formed with the main body portion. The handle 201 is used for the user to turn and thereby control the rotation of the rotating member relative to the body. A circular through hole extending along the rotation axis of the rotating member is provided in the main body portion of the rotating body 20. The hole wall of the circular through hole is evenly distributed with two first inclined surfaces 205 along the circumference. The first inclined surfaces 205 are inclined relative to the axial direction of the circular through hole, and the inclination angles of the two first inclined surfaces 205 are opposite. In the area between the two first inclined surfaces 205, the hole wall of the circular through hole is further provided with a snap-in slot 207, which extends along the axial direction of the circular through hole. In addition, a limiting portion 206 is provided at one end of each of the two first inclined surfaces 205, and the limiting portion 206 forms a blocking surface perpendicular to the axial direction of the circular through hole.

[0057] In addition to the circular through-hole, the rotating body 20 is also provided with four through-stop grooves 203 evenly spaced along the circumference. A rotating clamp 204 is also provided on the lower side of the rotating body 20, corresponding to the stop grooves 203. Furthermore, the rotating body 20 is provided with a positioning groove 202.

[0058] Reference Figure 3 The cover 21 includes a base plate, and four anti-rotation clamps 213 are provided at the outer periphery of the base plate. These four anti-rotation clamps 213 can be clamped into the anti-rotation clamping grooves 203 on the rotating body 20, thereby fixing the cover 21 to the rotating body 20. Two slope structures are evenly distributed on the base plate, and the end faces of these two slope structures form second slopes 214. When the cover 21 is fixed to the rotating body 20, the two second slopes 214 will respectively face the two first slopes 205, thereby forming two inclined grooves that are inclined relative to the rotating axis of the rotating member, and the inclination directions of these two inclined grooves are opposite. The first slope 205 and the second slope 214 will form the groove wall of this inclined groove, and the hole wall of the circular through hole on the rotating body 20 will form the groove bottom of this inclined groove.

[0059] Two symmetrical snap-in clips 212 protrude from the cover 21 between the two ramp structures. These snap-in clips 212 engage with the snap-in slots 207 on the rotating body 20, thereby forming another retaining structure at the other end of the slot opposite the retaining portion 206. Furthermore, a positioning protrusion 211 is provided on the cover 21, which can be inserted into the positioning slot 202 on the rotating body 20, facilitating the installation and positioning of the cover 21.

[0060] Reference Figure 4 The sliding member 30 is a generally rod-shaped member. Its outer wall is sequentially provided with a first sealing ring groove 331, a second sealing ring groove 332, a third sealing ring groove 333, and a fourth sealing ring groove 334 along its extension direction, for respectively mounting the first sealing ring 41, the second sealing ring 42, the third sealing ring 43, and the fourth sealing ring 44. A first water diversion portion 341 is formed between the first sealing ring groove 331 and the second sealing ring groove 332. A first opening 3011 is provided on the side wall of the sliding member 30 at the first water diversion portion 341. A second water diversion portion 342 is formed between the second sealing ring groove 332 and the third sealing ring groove 333. A third water diversion portion 343 is formed between the third sealing ring groove 333 and the fourth sealing ring groove 334.

[0061] Two sliding blocks 31 for cooperating with the inclined grooves are provided at the upper end of the sliding member 30. These two sliding blocks 31 can be inserted into the two inclined grooves and slide along the extension direction of the inclined grooves. At the same time, these two sliding blocks 31 are provided on two anti-rotation sliders 32 protruding from the side walls of the sliding member 30. These two anti-rotation sliders 32 can cooperate with the anti-rotation grooves formed by the anti-rotation protrusions 101 when the sliding member 30 is inserted into the sliding cavity, so that the sliding member 30 can slide in the sliding cavity in a non-rotating manner relative to the main body. In addition, sliding block protrusions 311 are provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the sliding block 31. When the sliding block 31 is inserted into the inclined groove, the sliding block protrusions 311 can press against the first inclined surface 205 and the second inclined surface 214, thereby reducing the contact area between the sliding block 31 and the wall of the inclined groove, thereby reducing the friction resistance between the sliding block 31 and the inclined groove, making it easier to control the sliding member 30 to slide up and down.

[0062] Reference Figures 5 to 7 A water passage 301 is further provided inside the sliding member 30 , the upper end of the water passage 301 is communicated with the first opening 3011 , and the lower end thereof forms an outlet at the lower end surface of the sliding member 30 .

[0063] When the slider 30 is fixedly slid into the sliding cavity, the sealing ring mounted on the slider 30 will fit against the cavity wall of the sliding cavity, thereby isolating the various water diversion parts from each other. At the same time, the sealing ring can also use the frictional resistance between it and the cavity wall of the sliding cavity to keep the slider 30 positioned in the corresponding position without moving when not driven by the rotating part. This is also because the pressure-bearing areas of the various sealing ring grooves on the slider 30 and the corresponding sealing rings are equal when water flows through the water outlet device. This makes the water flow pressure on both sides of the slider 30 in the sliding direction equal, thereby avoiding the influence of water flow pressure on the operating feel and the positioning of the slider 30. At the same time, when the sealing ring on the slider 30 passes through the water outlet 103, due to the action of the transition surface 1031, the sealing ring will not be worn and cut by the turning surface at the end of the water outlet 103, thereby improving the service life of the sealing ring.

[0064] In this embodiment, the sliding member 30 needs to first pass through the circular through hole on the rotating body 20 and be inserted into the sliding cavity, and then the cover body 21 is fixed to the rotating body 20, so that the sliding block 31 can be inserted into the inclined groove; when the rotating member rotates, the inclined groove can drive the sliding member 30 to slide up and down through the inclined surface cooperation.

[0065] Reference Figures 5 to 7 The specific usage process of the water outlet device in this embodiment is described below.

[0066] The sliding member 30 can reciprocate between a first position, a second position, and a third position under the action of the rotating member. The first position is when the sliding member 30 moves to its lowest position, the second position is when the sliding member 30 moves to its highest position, and the third position is between the first and second positions. The lowest and highest positions are defined relative to the outlet end of the water outlet. In this embodiment, the positioning of the sliding member 30 is achieved through friction between a sealing ring mounted thereon and the wall of the sliding chamber. The contact ball 22 and contact ball spring 23 determine whether the sliding member 30 has reached the first, second, and third positions.

[0067] The movement of the sliding member 30 to the first position is taken as the initial position. At this time, the sliding block 31 is located at the bottom end of the inclined groove, and the sliding block 31 is limited by the clamping head 212, so that the sliding block 31 can no longer move. At this time, the sliding member 30 cannot move further, and the bottom end of the sliding member 30 will also abut the top end of the sliding cavity seat 12, thereby limiting the extreme position of the bottom end of the sliding member 30, and also limiting the extreme position of the rotation of the rotating member in this direction; at the same time, in this first position, the first water diversion portion 341 on the sliding member 30 is opposite to the water outlet 103, and the water flow can pass through the water outlet 103, the first water diversion portion 341 and the first opening 3011 into the water channel 301, and then from the water channel 301 to the through hole in the middle position of the sliding cavity seat 12, enter the first water outlet 131 of the water outlet member 13 and form water outlet.

[0068] The rotating member is rotated to make the sliding member 30 reach the third position. At this position, the second water diversion portion 342 on the sliding member 30 is opposite to the water outlet 103. After the water flows through the water outlet 103, it will be blocked by the second sealing ring 42 and the third sealing ring 43, thereby cutting off the communication with the first water outlet 131 and the second water outlet 132.

[0069] Continue rotating the rotating member until the slider 30 reaches the second position. The sliding block 31 will then abut against the stopper 206, preventing the rotating member from rotating further and the slider 30 from moving upward. In this position, the third water diversion portion 343 on the slider 30 faces the water outlet 103. The outer wall of the slider 30 at the third water diversion portion 343 cooperates with the inner wall of the sliding cavity to form a water gap 302 that communicates with the water outlet 103. Water can flow through the water outlet 103, the water gap 302, and the second opening 121 into the connecting waterway 122, and then reach the second water outlet 132 for outlet. Then, rotate the rotating member in the other direction, and the slider 30 will return to the third position and the first position, respectively.

[0070] In addition, since the rotating part is installed at the upper end of the water outlet and the handle 201 of the rotating body 20 is facing the position of the hand-held part, the user can still turn the handle 201 with one hand when holding the hand-held part of the water outlet device, making the switching operation of the water outlet function of the water outlet device very convenient.

[0071] In addition, the present invention further provides a second embodiment. The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment lies in the different ways of forming the inclined groove.

[0072] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 9 In the second embodiment, the rotating member consists of a rotating body 20, a decorative cover and a chute body 24, wherein the decorative cover is used to cover the upper part of the rotating body 20, the chute body 24 is engaged with the rotating body 20 to prevent rotation, and a chute 243 is provided on the chute body 24.

[0073] Specifically, the chute body 24 is a circular tubular member with a through center. A stop block 241 is provided on its upper outer wall for cooperating with the rotating body 20. The stop block 241 can be inserted into a corresponding groove on the rotating body 20, allowing the chute body 24 to rotate with the rotating body 20. A sliding block 242 is provided at the bottom end of the chute body 24. A chute that cooperates with the sliding block 242 is provided at the upper end surface of the water outlet portion of the water outlet device body 10. The sliding block 242 can be inserted into the chute, thereby limiting the rotation path of the chute body 24. An inclined chute 243 is provided on the side wall of the chute body 24. The upper end of the chute 243 is closed, and the lower end is provided with a notch 244 at the bottom end of the chute body 24, that is, the end facing the slider 30. This notch 244 allows the slider on the slider 30 to pass through and enter the chute 243.

[0074] It should be noted that when the chute body 24 is installed to the upper end of the water outlet and the rotating part is also installed, the chute body 24 will be limited up and down and cannot move. At the same time, when the sliding member 30 is moved to the first position by the action of the chute 243, the bottom end of the sliding member 30 will hit the top of the sliding cavity seat 12, so that the sliding member 30 can no longer move downward. Therefore, although the sliding member 30 will move to the position of the notch 244, the sliding block 31 will not fall out of the notch 244.

[0075] In the second embodiment, the sliding member 30 may be inserted into the sliding cavity first and then the chute body 24 and the rotating body 20 may be installed.

[0076] The present invention provides a water outlet device, the main body of the water outlet device includes a hand-held part and a water outlet part, and a rotating part and a sliding part 30 are provided on the water outlet part. The user can control the sliding part 30 to slide up and down by rotating the rotating part, thereby controlling the water path switching of the water outlet device. At the same time, the rotating part is installed at the end of the water outlet part, so the assembly process of the rotating part is very simple, and there is no need to consider the connection relationship with other components. Under the premise of ensuring that the switching function of the water outlet device is simple and easy to operate, the assembly difficulty and the internal water path layout difficulty are reduced, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost.

[0077] The above description and embodiments are intended to explain the scope of protection of the present invention, but do not constitute a limitation thereto. Modifications, equivalent substitutions, or other improvements to the embodiments of the present invention or portions thereof that can be obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation based on the teachings of the present invention or the above embodiments, combined with common knowledge, ordinary technical knowledge in the field, and / or prior art, should all be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
