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] Existing water outlet devices, such as shower heads, generally include a handle and a water outlet. To switch the shower's water outlet function, a water diversion plate is typically provided at the shower's outlet. The user can then toggle the shower head cover to switch between different water channels on the diversion plate in a direction perpendicular to the shower head cover's rotational axis. However, due to the high friction between the shower head cover and the diversion plate, or the presence of a mechanism for fixing the position, this structure requires the user to grasp the handle with one hand and toggle the shower head 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 shower 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 the 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 shower handle to open or block different water diversion holes, thereby enabling single-handed switching of the shower'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:

[0005] A water outlet device comprises: a main body, which is provided with a water outlet; the water outlet is provided with a sliding cavity, and the cavity wall of the sliding cavity is provided with a water outlet for introducing water; the water outlet is provided with a first water outlet and a second water outlet connected to the sliding cavity; a sliding member, which is slidably mounted on the sliding cavity in a non-rotating manner, and when the sliding member slides to a first position, the water outlet is connected to the first water outlet, and when the sliding member slides to a second position, the water outlet is connected to the second water outlet; a rotating member, which is mounted on one end of the water outlet and is rotatably connected to the main body around a rotating axis parallel to the sliding direction of the sliding member, and cooperates with the inclined surface of the sliding member; an elastic member, which is mounted between the main body and the sliding member, and is used to drive the sliding member to support the rotating member.

[0006] Furthermore, the sliding member is provided with a water passage having one end connected to the first water outlet, and a side wall thereof is provided with a first opening connected to the water passage; when the sliding member slides to the first position, the water outlet is connected to the first opening.

[0007] Furthermore, the outer wall of the sliding member cooperates with the inner wall of the sliding cavity to form a water flow gap; the side wall of the sliding cavity is provided with a second opening; one end of the second opening is connected to the second water outlet, and the other end is connected to the water flow gap; when the sliding member slides to the second position, the water flow gap is connected to the water flow gap.

[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, the rotating member is evenly distributed with at least two first abutment blocks along the circumference; the sliding member is provided with a second abutment block suitable for cooperating with the inclined surface of the first abutment block, and at least one of the first abutment block or the second abutment block is provided with an inclined surface for achieving inclined surface cooperation between the two.

[0011] Furthermore, the first abutment block is provided with the inclined surface, and a limiting portion is provided on it; the main body is provided with a stopper on the movement path of the first abutment block; the stopper is configured to abut the limiting portion from opposite directions when the sliding member slides to the first position and the second position to limit the rotating member from continuing to rotate.

[0012] Furthermore, when the sliding member slides to the third position, the communication between the water outlet and the first water outlet and the second water outlet is cut off; the first abutment block is provided with an abutment surface and a positioning groove connected to the inclined surface; the second abutment block is provided with a positioning protrusion; when the sliding member slides to the first position, the second abutment block abuts the abutment surface to position the sliding member in the first position; when the sliding member slides to the third position, the positioning protrusion on the second abutment block is embedded in the positioning groove to position the sliding member in the third position; when the sliding member slides to the second position, it abuts against the top wall of the rotating member to position the sliding member in the second position.

[0013] Furthermore, a sliding groove is provided at one end of the water outlet relative to the circumference of the rotating shaft; and the rotating member is provided with a clamping block for engaging with the sliding groove and sliding along the extending direction of the sliding groove.

[0014] Furthermore, the pressure-bearing areas of the various pressure-bearing surfaces on the sliding member defined by the sealing ring are equal.

[0015] 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:

[0016] 1. The main body of the water outlet device is provided with a handheld portion for the user to hold and a water outlet portion for discharging water, and a sliding cavity for installing a sliding member is provided in the water outlet portion, and the sliding cavity can introduce water from the handheld portion 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, a sliding member and an elastic member, wherein the rotating member is installed at one end of the water outlet portion. Since it is arranged at the end position, only one end of the rotating member needs to cooperate with the water outlet portion, thereby reducing the difficulty of installing the rotating member and the overall assembly difficulty of the water outlet device; at the same time, the rotating member cooperates with the inclined surface of the sliding member, and the sliding member is anti-rotationally installed. Under the action of the elastic member, when the rotating member is rotated, the sliding member can move back and forth between the first position and the second position, and 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 member, thereby realizing the switching of different water outlet functions of the water outlet device; the water outlet device as a whole has the advantages of convenient switching of water outlet functions, low assembly difficulty and simple structure.

[0017] 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.

[0018] 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.

[0019] 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.

[0020] 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.

[0021] 6. The rotating member is evenly distributed with at least two first abutment blocks in the circumferential direction, and the sliding member is provided with a corresponding second abutment block. Through the inclined surface cooperation between the first abutment block and the second abutment block, when the rotating member is rotated, the sliding member will slide along the extension direction of the sliding cavity. At the same time, in this scheme, since the first abutment blocks are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the rotating member, it can ensure that the rotating member is uniformly stressed in the axial direction of its rotation, reducing the probability of damage or falling off of the rotating member. Moreover, since the water passage on the sliding member is arranged inside the sliding member, the water passage does not need to be arranged in the body of the water outlet device, thereby providing space for the sliding member to be centrally arranged relative to the rotating member.

[0022] 7. A limiting portion is provided on the first abutment block, and a stopper is provided on the main body. The stopper is located on the movement path of the limiting portion. When the rotating member rotates to drive the sliding member to slide, the stopper can limit the rotation of the rotating member by abutting the limiting portion, thereby limiting the rotation range of the rotating member and facilitating the manipulation of the rotating member.

[0023] 8. A contact surface and a positioning groove are provided on the first contact block, and a positioning protrusion is provided on the second contact block. The positioning protrusion can be pressed against the contact surface or embedded in the positioning groove so that the sliding member is positioned at the corresponding position. At the same time, the positioning protrusion can also reduce the contact area between the second contact block and the first contact block, reduce the friction between the two, and make the control feel smoother.

[0024] 9. A sliding groove is provided on the water outlet, and a clamping block is provided on the rotating member that can be engaged in the sliding groove and slide along the sliding groove, so that the rotating member can achieve axial limitation relative to the water outlet and can also rotate relative to the water outlet.

[0025] 10. Make the pressure-bearing areas of each pressure-bearing surface on the sliding part equal. Since the pressure-bearing surfaces impacted by the water flow at each position where the sliding part is stopped are two symmetrically arranged, the water flow pressure can offset each other, so that the sliding of the sliding part can avoid the influence of the water flow pressure, making the user's control feel more comfortable.

[0040] 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".

[0041] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 The exploded view of the structure of an embodiment 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 20, an elastic member 40 and several sealing rings.

[0042] 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 outlet part 11, a bubbler 12, a water inlet connector 13 and a fixing base 21. The water outlet device body 10 includes a first tubular member extending along a first direction. The first tubular member forms the handheld portion of the main body. Figure 5 The interior of the first tubular member is hollow to form a water inlet channel 101. The water inlet joint 13 is fixed to one end of the first tubular member by threaded connection, welding, etc., and is used to connect to an external water inlet pipeline to introduce external water.

[0043] 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 The second tubular member has a vertically continuous chamber within it. A water inlet 103 is provided on the sidewall of the chamber. This inlet 103 communicates with the water inlet channel 101 in the first tubular member and is used to introduce water into the chamber. Several upwardly extending protrusions are also provided at the upper end of the second tubular member, forming a chute 14 extending in the second direction between these protrusions.

[0044] The water outlet member 11 is screwed and fixed to the lower end of the second tubular member. A water outlet channel is formed in the middle of the bottom end of the water outlet member 11, which runs through the water outlet along its axial direction. The lower end of the water outlet channel forms a first water outlet 121, and the water outlet channel can be used to install the bubbler 12. Another water outlet channel is provided at the periphery of the water outlet member 11, which runs through the water outlet parallel to the axial direction. The lower end of the water outlet channel forms a second water outlet 111. In particular, in this embodiment, the water flow area of the second water outlet 111 gradually decreases along the water outlet direction, so that the water flow can be ejected from the second water outlet 111 to form spray gun water. A cylindrical structure is formed at the upper side of the water outlet member 11. This cylindrical structure is connected to the above-mentioned first water outlet 121, and another cylindrical structure of lower height is provided at the bottom of the cylindrical structure. This lower cylindrical structure is used to install the elastic member 40. In this embodiment, the elastic member 40 is a spring, which can be sleeved on the outside of the above-mentioned lower cylindrical structure. A plurality of notches are provided along the circumferential direction at the upper end of the water outlet member 11 .

[0045] When the water outlet member 11 is fixed to the lower end of the second tubular member, its upper end surface abuts the lower end surface of the chamber within the second tubular member. Simultaneously, the cylindrical structure provided on the upper side of the water outlet member 11 cooperates with the chamber to form a sliding cavity for mounting the sliding member 30 and the elastic member 40. A water outlet 103 is formed in the sidewall of the sliding cavity, while a notch in the water outlet member 11 forms a second opening 112 on the sidewall of the sliding cavity. Furthermore, the outer wall of the water outlet member 11 cooperates with the inner wall of the second tubular member to form a connecting waterway 102, which connects the second opening 112 with the second water outlet 111. Both the first water outlet 121 and the second water outlet 111 are connected to the sliding cavity.

[0046] The fixing seat 21 is fixedly connected to the upper end opening of the second tubular member by screw connection, clamping connection, welding, etc., and its outer side wall is provided with a circle of sliding grooves 211 extending along the circumferential direction.

[0047] The fixing seat 21, the second tubular member, the water outlet 11 and the bubbler 12 together constitute the water outlet portion of the main body, which is used to form water outlet.

[0048] Reference Figure 2 The rotating member 20 is mounted 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, and is matched with the inclined surface of the sliding member 30.

[0049] Specifically, the rotating member 20 comprises a main body and a handle 201 integrally formed therewith. The handle 201 is used by the user to manipulate the rotating member 20 relative to the main body. A recessed cavity is provided within the main body of the rotating member 20. Clamping blocks 202 are evenly distributed along the sidewalls of the recessed cavity. These clamping blocks 202 can be snapped into the sliding grooves 211 of the fixed seat 21 and slide along the extension of the sliding grooves 211, thereby enabling axially limited rotation of the rotating member 20 relative to the main body. Decorative cover snap-in interfaces 205 are evenly distributed along the bottom wall of the recessed cavity. The decorative cover 23 can be secured to the rotating member 20 by snapping into these decorative cover snap-in interfaces 205.

[0050] In addition, the water outlet device also includes a structure for providing a sense of gear position, which primarily comprises an elastic bar 22 and a groove 212 disposed on the fixed seat 21. The ends of the elastic bar 22 are secured to the rotating member 20 by engaging with the elastic bar latching interface 204 on the main body of the rotating member 20. The elastic bar 22 has a downwardly facing protrusion, which, due to the elasticity of the elastic bar 22, can move when subjected to pressure. As the rotating member 20 rotates, the protrusion on the elastic bar 22 sequentially falls into the groove 212 corresponding to the first, second, and third positions. Between these positions, the protrusion on the elastic bar 22 is abutted against the upper end surface of the fixed seat 21. The deformation of the elastic bar 22 and the insertion of the protrusion into the groove 212 provide a sense of gear position for the rotation of the rotating member 20. This structure for providing a sense of gear position eliminates the need for a ball and ball spring, improving space utilization and simplifying the structure.

[0051] Two first abutment blocks 203 protrude from the bottom wall of the cavity, and are evenly distributed along the circumference of the rotating member 20. The first abutment blocks 203 have an inclined surface 2031 that faces the cavity opening of the rotating member 20 and extends outward from the bottom wall of the cavity, ultimately forming a slope structure that extends obliquely along the circumference of the rotating member 20. Furthermore, an abutment surface 2033 is provided at the topmost position of the first abutment block 203, which is perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotating member 20. A positioning groove 2032 is provided at the mid-height position of the first abutment block 203, which is recessed inward and extends through both sides of the first abutment block 203 in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotating member 20. A guide surface 2034 is provided at the lowest position of the first abutment block 203, which is used to connect the cavity bottom wall of the rotating member 20 and the inclined surface 2031. A stopper 206 is also provided at the topmost position of the first abutment block 203. This stopper 206 extends parallel to the axial direction of the rotating member 20 and forms a "7"-shaped structure in a cross-section perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotating member 20. It also includes a blocking surface perpendicular to and facing away from the abutment surface 2033. Furthermore, two symmetrical stoppers are provided on the water outlet body 10, corresponding to the movement path of the stopper 206. These two stoppers cooperate with the stopper 206 to limit the rotation range of the rotating member 20.

[0052] Reference Figure 3 The sliding member 30 is a round rod-shaped member. Its outer wall is sequentially provided with a first sealing ring groove 301, a second sealing ring groove 302, a third sealing ring groove 303, and a fourth sealing ring groove 304 along its extension direction, for respectively mounting the first sealing ring 51, the second sealing ring 52, the third sealing ring 53, and the fourth sealing ring 54. A first water diversion portion 305 is formed between the first sealing ring groove 301 and the second sealing ring groove 302. A first opening 3051 is provided on the side wall of the sliding member 30 at the first water diversion portion 305. A second water diversion portion 306 is formed between the second sealing ring groove 302 and the third sealing ring groove 303. A third water diversion portion 307 is formed between the third sealing ring groove 303 and the fourth sealing ring groove 304. Two second abutment blocks 308 are provided at the upper end of the sliding member 30 for forming inclined surfaces with the two first abutment blocks 203, respectively. The upper side surface of the second abutment block 308 is a matching inclined surface 3081 that matches the inclined surface 2031, and a positioning protrusion 3082 is provided that matches the positioning groove 2032. Figures 5 to 7 A water passage 3052 is further provided inside the sliding member 30 , the upper end of the water passage 3052 is communicated with the first opening 3051 , and the lower end thereof forms an outlet at the lower end surface of the sliding member 30 .

[0053] It should be noted that the aforementioned sealing ring grooves and corresponding sealing rings cooperate to form a pressure-bearing surface on the sliding member 30 that is perpendicular to the extending direction of the sliding member 30 , and the areas of all the pressure-bearing surfaces are equal.

[0054] The sliding member 30 is slidably mounted within the aforementioned sliding cavity, and its second abutment block 308 can be inserted into the chute 14 formed at the upper end of the second tubular member, thereby achieving a rotation-locked fit with the main body. An elastic member 40 is installed between the bottom end of the sliding member 30 and the water outlet member 11, and constantly drives the sliding member 30 upward, allowing the sliding member 30 to maintain abutment against the inclined surface 2031, thereby achieving an inclined fit between the sliding member 30 and the rotating member 20. The sealing ring mounted on the sliding member 30 fits against the wall of the sliding cavity, thereby isolating the various water diversion sections from each other. Furthermore, the outer wall of the sliding member 30 corresponding to the third water diversion section 307 also cooperates with the wall of the sliding cavity to form a water gap 309, which maintains communication with the second opening 112.

[0055] After the sliding member 30 is installed, the rotating member 20 is installed at the upper end of the water outlet and is matched with the sliding member 30 in an inclined plane. Figure 4 The first abutment block 203 on the rotating member 20 will abut against the second abutment block 308 on the sliding member 30. When the rotating member 20 rotates, it will drive the sliding member 30 to move in the extension direction of the sliding cavity. At the same time, under the action of the elastic member 40, the sliding member 30 can realize reciprocating motion.

[0056] Reference Figures 5 to 7 , the specific use process of the above-mentioned water outlet device is described below.

[0057] The sliding member 30 can reciprocate between a first position, a second position, and a third position under the combined action of the rotating member 20 and the elastic member 40. The first position is when the sliding member 30 is at its lowest position, the second position is when the sliding member 30 is at its highest position, and the third position is between the first and second positions. The lowest and highest positions are defined relative to the water outlet end of the water outlet as the lower side.

[0058] The initial position of the rotating member 20 is defined as the position where the second abutment block 308 abuts against the abutment surface 2033 on the first abutment block 203. At this time, the sliding member 30 is in the first position. At this time, the blocking surface on the limiting portion 206 will abut against one side of the block on the water outlet device body 10, and at this time, the sliding member 30 is limited by the water outlet and cannot move downward any further. Therefore, the rotating member 20 can no longer rotate. The rotating member 20 reaches its extreme position in one direction. At the same time, at this first position, the first water diversion portion 305 on the sliding member 30 is opposite to the water outlet 103. The water flow can pass through the water outlet 103, the first water diversion portion 305 and the first opening 3051 into the water channel 3052, and then reach the first water outlet 121 of the water outlet member 11 from the water channel 3052.

[0059] The rotating member 20 is rotated so that the positioning protrusion 3082 on the second abutting block 308 is embedded in the positioning groove 2032 on the first abutting block 203. At this time, the sliding member 30 is in the third position. At this position, the second water diversion portion 306 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 52 and the third sealing ring 53, thereby cutting off the communication with the first water outlet 121 and the second water outlet 111.

[0060] The rotating member 20 is rotated further until the second abutting block 308 abuts the bottom wall of the cavity of the rotating member 20. At this point, the sliding member 30 is in the second position under the action of the elastic member 40. The limiting portion 206 on the first abutting block 203 abuts the other side of the stopper on the water outlet device body 10, thereby restricting the rotating member from further rotation. The rotating member 20 reaches its limit position in the other direction. Simultaneously, the sliding member 30 is restrained by the rotating member 20 and cannot move further upward. At the same time, in this second position, the water flow gap 309 formed by the sliding member 30 and the inner wall of the sliding cavity is connected to the water outlet 103. Water can flow through the water outlet 103, the water flow gap 309, and the second opening 112 into the connecting water channel 102, and then reach the second water outlet 111. The rotating member 20 is then rotated in the other direction. After passing the guide surface 2034, the second abutting block 308 returns to the inclined surface 2031.

[0061] In addition, since the rotating part 20 is installed at the upper end of the water outlet and its handle 201 is facing the position of the hand-held part, the user can still turn the handle 201 of the rotating part 20 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.

[0062] In addition, in other embodiments, when either the second sealing ring 52 or the third sealing ring 53 is removed from the sliding member 30, when the rotating member 20 rotates to a specific position, water can flow through the first opening 3051 and the water gap 309 at the same time, thereby achieving water discharge from the first water outlet 112 and the second water outlet 111 at the same time.

[0063] In addition, in other embodiments, the inclined surface cooperation between the rotating member 20 and the sliding member 30 can be set as an inclined groove cooperation, and a sliding block that can slide in the inclined groove of the rotating member 20 is provided on the sliding member 30. Since the inclined groove forms a limit for the sliding block at both ends in the axial direction, the setting of the elastic member 40 can be cancelled, and the sliding member 30 can be driven up and down directly by the inclined groove cooperation.

[0064] The present invention provides a water outlet device, which has a hand-held portion and a water outlet portion on its main body, and a rotating member 20 and a sliding member 30 on its water outlet portion. The user can control the sliding member 30 to slide up and down by rotating the rotating member 20, thereby controlling the water path switching of the water outlet device. At the same time, the rotating member 20 is installed at the end of the water outlet portion, so the assembly process of the rotating member 20 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.

[0065] 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.
