[0045] The present invention is a quantitative water outlet structure for a kitchen shower, comprising a water distribution component 1, a quantitative component 2 and a switching component 3;

[0046] The water-dividing assembly 1 comprises a water-dividing body 11; a water-inlet waterway 111, a water-passing waterway 112, a first water-outlet waterway 113, and a second water-outlet waterway 114 are arranged in the water-dividing body 11, and a switching installation groove 115 and a quantitative installation groove 116 are arranged on the surface of the water-dividing body 11; the water-inlet waterway 111 and the first water-passing waterway 113 are both connected to the switching installation groove 115; the second water-passing waterway 114 is connected to the quantitative installation groove 116, and the connecting point is a plurality of water-passing holes 117; the two ends of the water-passing waterway 112 are respectively connected to the switching installation groove 115 and the quantitative installation groove 116;

[0047] The quantitative component 2 includes a regulating valve body 21 and a time-delay valve core 22; the regulating valve body 21 is rotatably fitted in the quantitative installation groove 116, and a side inlet 211 and a lower outlet 212 are arranged at the lower end thereof, the side inlet 211 is communicated with the water passage 112, and the lower outlet 212 is communicated with different numbers of water holes 117 as the regulating valve body 21 rotates; the time-delay valve core 22 is arranged in the regulating valve body 21, and is used to block the side inlet 211 and the lower outlet 212 at a fixed time;

[0048] The switching assembly 3 is disposed in the switching installation groove 115 , and is used to block the water inlet waterway 111 and the first water outlet waterway 113 , or to block the water inlet waterway 111 and the water flow waterway 112 .

[0049] refer to Figures 1 to 8 Shown is a specific embodiment of the present invention.

[0050] The above-mentioned delay valve core 22 is an existing mature technology. By operating (generally pressing) the delay valve core 22, the water channel can be opened and closed after an additional period of time (the present invention adopts a design of delay blocking the water channel). The specific implementation method can refer to patent CN201420544196.

[0051] The water distribution assembly 1 also includes a shower water surface cover 12 and a bubble water surface cover 13; the first water outlet waterway 113 and the second water outlet waterway 114 are both connected to the water outlet end of the water distribution body 11, the shower water surface cover 12 is matched with the water outlet end of the first water outlet waterway 113, and the bubble water surface cover 13 is matched with the water outlet end of the second water outlet waterway 114, that is, the bubble water has the function of quantitative water outlet. In this embodiment, the water outlet end of the second water outlet waterway 114 is a plurality of water outlet holes distributed in a circular shape, and the water outlet end of the first water outlet waterway 113 is a plurality of water outlet holes distributed in a circular shape. Of course, according to different usage requirements, the shower water can also be set to have a quantitative function, that is, the shower water surface cover 12 is matched with the water outlet end of the second water outlet waterway 114, and the shower water surface cover 12 and the bubble water surface cover 13 can also be replaced with other water outlet modes or water outlet function surface covers.

[0052] The water holes 117 are arranged at the bottom of the quantitative installation groove 116. In this embodiment, the number of water holes 117 is 7. By adjusting the rotation of the valve body 21, the lower outlet 212 can be connected with different numbers of water holes 117, so as to achieve different water output during the opening of the quantitative component 2. It can be seen that "water output = number of holes * hole conduction time". Since the conduction time of the water holes 117 is determined by the delay valve core 22 and is relatively fixed, the water output is determined by the number of holes:

[0053] ① When the regulating valve body 21 rotates to 1 / 4 of the water output, the specific water inlet reference Fig. 9 As shown, at this time, the quantitative component 2 is aligned with the two water holes 117, and the water output is 1 / 4 of the designed total water output. When the quantitative button 23 is pressed, the kitchen shower will continue to output water for 8-10 seconds and then turn off.

[0054] ② When the regulating valve body 21 rotates to 1 / 2 of the water output, the specific water inlet reference Fig.10 As shown, at this time, the quantitative component 2 is aligned with the three water holes 117, and the water output is 1 / 2 of the designed total water output. When the quantitative button 23 is pressed, the kitchen shower will continue to output water for 8-10 seconds and then shut down.

[0055] ③ When the regulating valve body 21 rotates to 3 / 4 of the water output, the specific water inlet reference Fig.11 As shown, at this time, the quantitative component 2 is aligned with the four water holes 117, and the water output is 3 / 4 of the designed total water output. When the quantitative button 23 is pressed, the kitchen shower will continue to output water for 8-10 seconds and then shut down.

[0056] ④ When the regulating valve body 21 rotates to 1.0 water output, the specific water inlet reference Fig.12 As shown, at this time, the quantitative component 2 is also aligned with the four water holes 117, but the aperture of one of the water holes 117 is larger than that of the 3 / 4 gear. At this time, the water output is 1.0 of the designed total water output. When the quantitative button 23 is pressed, the kitchen shower will continue to output water for 8-10 seconds and then turn off.

[0057] In summary, within the rated time of the delay valve core 22 water inlet, by controlling the conduction of different numbers of water holes 117, the water output volume of the shower head within a certain period of time can be controlled, which can cleverly achieve the quantitative function, and has the advantages of simple structure, stability and reliability; and a specific volume of flow can be achieved by designing the size of the water holes 117.

[0058] The quantitative component 2 further comprises a quantitative button 23, which is arranged at the operating end of the delay valve core 22 for user convenience.

When the lifting rod 33 is lowered, the water inlet waterway 111 and the first water outlet waterway 113 are blocked, and when the lifting rod 33 is raised, the water inlet waterway 111 and the water flow path 112 are blocked, that is, when the user does not operate the switching component 3, the water diversion body 11 defaults to the first water outlet waterway 113 to discharge water, that is, to discharge shower water.

[0066] The blocking member 34 is a sealing ring sleeved on the lower end of the lifting rod 33 ; the reset member 35 is a spring arranged between the lower end of the lifting rod 33 and the bottom of the switching installation groove 115 .
