[0040] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the cooling assembly 1 includes a shell 11 and a movable assembly 12 and a temperature sensing element 13 arranged inside the shell 11. The shell 11 is provided with a water inlet 111, a first water outlet 112 and a second water outlet 113. The movable assembly 12 has a first working position capable of blocking the second water outlet 113 and a second working position capable of blocking the first water outlet 112. The temperature sensing element 13 is connected to the movable assembly 12 and can drive the movable assembly 12 to move between the first working position and the second working position, that is, the temperature sensing element 13 can push the movable assembly 12 to move according to the change of water temperature. Specifically, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in the initial state, the movable component 12 is located in the second working position. At this time, the first water outlet 112 is blocked, and the water inlet 111 is connected to the second water outlet 113. When the water temperature entering the housing 11 is less than or equal to the preset temperature of the temperature sensing element 13, the temperature sensing element 13 will not act, and the movable component 12 remains in the second working position unchanged, and cold water can be discharged through the second water outlet 113, that is, the second water outlet 113 can be used as a cold water outlet when in use. When the water temperature entering the housing 11 is greater than the preset temperature of the temperature sensing element 13, the temperature sensing element 13 acts to push The movable component 12 moves from the second working position to the first working position. At this time, the second water outlet 113 is blocked, the water inlet 111 is connected to the first water outlet 112, and the water reaching the temperature is discharged through the first water outlet 112. When the water temperature entering the housing 11 is less than or equal to the preset temperature of the temperature sensing element 13 again, the temperature sensing element 13 is reset and drives the movable component 12 to move to the second working position. At this time, the first water outlet 112 is blocked again, and the water inlet 111 is connected to the second water outlet 113 again, so that the cold water can be discharged through the second water outlet 113.

[0041] The pipe assembly 2 includes a water inlet pipe 21 and a cold water discharge pipe 22. The first port of the water inlet pipe 21 is connected to and communicated with the water inlet 111. Cold water and / or hot water can enter the cold water discharge assembly 1 through the water inlet pipe 21 and the water inlet 111. The first port of the cold water discharge pipe 22 is connected to and communicated with the second water outlet 113.

[0042] The water outlet device 3 is connected to the cooling assembly 1, and the water outlet device 3 is connected to the first water outlet 112. The water that reaches the temperature is discharged through the water outlet device 3 to enhance the user's comfort. Specifically, the water outlet device 3 can be a water top spray, a shower or a water faucet.

[0043] The water outlet device provided by the present invention is provided with a cold discharge component 1, so that when the water temperature in the pipe does not reach the set value, it can be discharged through the second water outlet 113 via the cold discharge water pipe 22, and when the water temperature rises to the set value, it can flow out from the first water outlet 112 via the water outlet device 3, thereby achieving the purpose of discharging cold water, thereby avoiding cold water from splashing on the user's body.

[0044] Further, if Figure 2 As shown, the water inlet pipe 21 and the cold water discharge pipe 22 are arranged side by side, and the outer parts of the water inlet pipe 21 and the cold water discharge pipe 22 are provided with a sleeve 23. The water inlet pipe 21 and the cold water discharge pipe 22 are connected into an integrated structure through the sleeve 23, which is convenient for the overall assembly of the pipeline assembly 2 and makes the overall structure of the pipeline assembly 2 more neat.

[0045] Further, if Figure 3As shown, the water outlet device also includes a shower valve body 4, which is provided with a drain port 41 and a water inlet. Other structures of the shower valve body 4 are all prior arts and are not described here in detail. The second port of the water inlet pipe 21 and the second port of the cold water discharge pipe 22 are both connected and communicated with the shower valve body 4, the second port of the water inlet pipe 21 is connected to the water inlet, and the second port of the cold water discharge pipe 22 is connected to the drain port 41. The shower valve body 4 can control the connection and disconnection between the water inlet pipe 21 and the external water source, and the cold water can be discharged through the drain port 41 of the shower valve body 4, so that the user can recycle and reuse the discharged cold water, thereby saving water resources.

[0046] The shower valve body 4 is also provided with at least one water outlet, which is used to be connected to a water outlet device; preferably, the drain port 41 can serve as the lower water outlet of the shower valve body 4 (the lower water outlet is used for daily household water collection, such as mopping the floor or collecting water).

[0047] Furthermore, the shower valve body 4 is also provided with a temperature regulating switch and a water circuit switch. The temperature regulating switch can adjust the ratio of hot and cold water entering the shower valve body, and the water circuit switch can control the connection and disconnection between the second port of the water inlet pipe 21 and the water inlet, the connection and disconnection between the second port of the cold water discharge pipe 22 and the drain outlet 41, and the connection and disconnection between the drain outlet 41 and the outside of the shower valve body 4.

[0048] Further, if Figure 2 As shown, the housing 11 is connected to the water outlet device 3 via a fixing cover 14, so that the cooling exhaust assembly 1 and the water outlet device 3 are connected to form an integrated structure, so as to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the water outlet device.

[0049] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the temperature sensing element 13 is a temperature sensing spring, and the two ends of the temperature sensing spring are respectively connected to the movable component 12 and the shell 11. The temperature sensing spring is small in size and has good sensitivity. When the temperature of the water injected into the shell 11 is less than or equal to the preset temperature of the temperature sensing spring, the temperature sensing spring will not deform. When the temperature of the water injected into the shell 11 is greater than the preset temperature of the temperature sensing spring, the temperature sensing spring will deform to drive the movable component 12 to move. When the temperature of the water injected into the shell 11 is less than or equal to the preset temperature of the temperature sensing spring again, the temperature sensing spring will return to its original state and drive the movable component 12 to reset.

[0050] Of course, the temperature sensing element 13 may also be a temperature sensing package or a temperature sensing spring sheet.

[0051] Further, if Figure 4As shown, the movable component 12 includes a movable part 121, which is a hollow columnar structure. A plurality of water holes 1222 are arranged at intervals on the side wall of the movable part 121, so that water can flow smoothly through the plurality of water holes 1222 in the outer shell 11. A convex ring 1221 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the middle part of the movable part 121. The convex ring 1221 extends outward along the radial direction of the movable part 121. The outer ring surface of the convex ring 1221 can fit with the inner surface of the outer shell 11. The convex ring 1221 can block the second water outlet 113 or the first water outlet 112. A temperature-sensing spring is sleeved on the outside of the movable part 121, and a first end of the temperature-sensing spring is connected to the convex ring 1221. The second end of the temperature-sensing spring can abut the outer shell 11. The temperature-sensing spring is limited by the outer shell 11, so that the deformation of the temperature-sensing spring can smoothly drive the movable part 121 to move.

[0052] Further, if Figure 4 As shown, the plurality of water holes 1222 are evenly distributed on the side wall of the movable member 121 and located on both sides of the convex ring 1221 , so that the water holes 1222 will not affect the sealing effect of the convex ring 1221 on the second water outlet 113 .

[0053] Further, if Figure 4 As shown, the housing 11 has a first accommodating groove 114 and a second accommodating groove 115 arranged side by side, and the notch of the first accommodating groove 114 and the notch of the second accommodating groove 115 are located on the same side, the notch of the first accommodating groove 114 forms a water inlet 111, and the side wall of the first accommodating groove 114 is provided with a water hole 116 connected to the second accommodating groove 115. Specifically, the first accommodating groove 114 and the second accommodating groove 115 share a side wall, and the water hole 116 is arranged on the side wall. The second water outlet 113 and the first water outlet 112 are both arranged on the side wall of the second accommodating groove 115, and the second water outlet 113 and the first water outlet 112 are arranged along the axis of the movable component 12. The movable component 12 and the temperature-sensitive spring are arranged in the second accommodating chamber, and the housing 11 includes an end cover 117, and the end cover 117 is detachably connected to the notch of the second accommodating groove 115. The second end of the temperature-sensitive spring can abut the end cover 117. Specifically, the end cover 117 can be connected to the notch of the second accommodating groove 115 by a threaded connection, and the end cover 117 can also be connected to the notch of the second accommodating groove 115 by a connecting pin. The arrangement of the end cover 117 makes the installation and disassembly of the movable component 12 and the temperature-sensitive spring simple and convenient.

[0054] Further, if Figure 4As shown, a bias spring 122 is sleeved on the movable part 121, the first end of the bias spring 122 is connected to the convex ring 1221, and the second end of the bias spring 122 abuts against the bottom of the first accommodating groove 114. The bias spring 122 can not only guide the movement of the movable part 121, but also push the movable component 12 to reset in time when the water temperature drops, so as to avoid cold water flowing out of the water outlet device 3, thereby ensuring the user's comfort when showering.

[0055] Going further, Figure 4 As shown, at least one sealing ring 123 is sleeved on the outside of the convex ring 1221. Specifically, the outer peripheral surface of the convex ring 1221 is provided with at least one ring groove, and the sealing ring 123 is embedded in the ring groove. The sealing ring 123 seals the gap between the movable component 12 and the outer shell 11, thereby improving the sealing effect of the convex ring 1221 in sealing the second water outlet 113 or the first water outlet 112.

[0056] It should be noted that other specific structures of the housing 11 and the movable component 12 of the cooling assembly 1 of the present invention are prior arts and will not be described in detail herein.

[0057] The following specifically describes the use of the water outlet device of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0060] When the water temperature is greater than the set temperature of the temperature-sensing spring, the logical relationship between the force F1 generated by the temperature-sensing spring and the force F2 generated by the bias spring is F1>F2, and the temperature-sensing spring pushes the movable part 121 to move. After moving a certain distance, the convex ring 1221 of the movable part 121 will block the second water outlet 113. At this time, Figure 7 As shown, the second water outlet 113 is blocked, the water inlet 111 is connected to the first water outlet 112, and the water source is Figure 7 The water flows in the direction of the middle arrow and flows into the water outlet device 3 through the first water outlet 112, so that the user can use water of suitable temperature for showering.
