Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of sanitary ware, and in particular to a single-hole, multi-splash water outlet device. Background Technology

[0002] Showerheads play a vital role in modern life. As people's living standards improve, their demands for showerheads also increase. For example, the water spray effect of a showerhead varies from person to person. Some people prefer a misty spray, some prefer a jet spray, and others prefer a granular spray.

[0003] To meet the needs of different users, showerheads are generally equipped with several sets of water outlets with different functions, allowing users to switch between them according to their needs. While this satisfies diverse needs, it also has certain limitations. First, different water flow modes require different water outlets. Therefore, a showerhead needs a considerable number of water outlets; however, only a portion of the outlets in a given water flow mode are actually spraying water, resulting in a relatively small water flow area. To balance water flow modes and water flow area, the area of ​​the showerhead panel needs to be increased to accommodate more outlets. This significantly impacts the showerhead's appearance, making it less streamlined and aesthetically pleasing. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a single-hole multi-splash water outlet device, which enables a single outlet hole to output at least two types of water splashes.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the solution of the present invention is:

[0006] A single-hole multi-splash water outlet device includes a water outlet body, a control component, and multiple switching discs. The water outlet body includes a connected water outlet panel and a water flow plate, which together form a water outlet cavity. The water outlet panel has multiple water outlet holes. Each switching disc is rotatably fitted into the water outlet cavity. Each switching disc has at least two water outlet units for forming different water splashes. Each water outlet unit of the switching disc communicates with the water outlet cavity. Each switching disc is corresponding to one water outlet hole, and each water outlet unit of each switching disc is movably connected to the corresponding water outlet hole. The control component is fitted into the water outlet body and is driven by each switching disc. The control component drives each switching disc to rotate, so that each water outlet unit of each switching disc selectively connects to the corresponding water outlet hole.

[0007] A sealing element is sandwiched between the switching disc and the water outlet panel.

[0008] Each of the aforementioned switching discs is fitted with a seal between itself and the water outlet panel.

[0009] The sealing element includes a sealing ring, and the sealing ring of the sealing element sandwiched between each switching disc and the water outlet panel surrounds the water outlet hole corresponding to the switching disc.

[0010] The sealing element also includes a sealing ring connected to the sealing ring, and the sealing ring of the sealing element sandwiched between each switching disc and the water outlet panel surrounds the rotation center of the switching disc.

[0011] The water outlet panel is provided with a groove corresponding to the seal for the sealing ring to be partially embedded.

[0012] Each of the aforementioned switching discs is provided with an elastic limiting component between itself and the water-passing plate.

[0013] The elastic limiting member is a spring structure, and the switching disk is provided with a limiting part that fits into the elastic limiting member.

[0014] The water outlet panel or water passage plate of the water outlet body is provided with a rotating shaft corresponding to each switching disc, and each switching disc is rotatably fitted with a rotating shaft.

[0015] The switching disks are provided with switching teeth around their periphery, and the switching disks mesh with each other.

[0016] The control component is rotatably fitted to the water outlet body. The control component is provided with a transmission part with transmission teeth, and the transmission part of the control component meshes with at least one switching disc.

[0017] A gear positioning mechanism is provided between the water outlet body and the control component; the gear positioning mechanism includes a spring pin assembly located in one of the water outlet body and the control component, and multiple gear slots located in the other of the water outlet body and the control component; when the water outlet body and the control component rotate relative to each other, the spring pin assembly sequentially positions and engages with each gear slot.

[0018] The water outlet panel of the water outlet body is provided with a mounting hole; the control component can rotatably pass through the mounting hole, and an elastic ring is provided between the control component and the mounting hole.

[0019] The water outlet body also includes an inlet cover plate connected to the water outlet panel and the water passage plate. The inlet cover plate and the water passage plate together form an inlet water cavity. The inlet cover plate is provided with an inlet that communicates with the inlet water cavity. The water passage plate is provided with multiple water passages that connect the inlet water cavity and the water outlet cavity.

[0020] After adopting the above solution, the control unit of the present invention drives each switching disk to rotate, so that each water outlet unit of the switching disk selectively connects to the water outlet hole corresponding to the switching disk. The switching disk is provided with at least two water outlet units for forming different water sprays. In this way, the present invention controls the different water outlet units of the switching disk to selectively connect to the water outlet hole corresponding to the switching disk by controlling the control unit, so as to control the water outlet hole to output different water sprays. This realizes that one water outlet hole can output at least two kinds of water sprays, so that the water outlet panel does not need to set a corresponding water outlet hole for each kind of water spray. This allows the size of the water outlet panel to be reduced, thereby reducing the volume of the entire water outlet device. Moreover, each kind of water spray can fully cover all the water outlet holes on the entire water outlet panel, resulting in a large water outlet area. Attached Figure Description

Each switching disc 3 is correspondingly set with a water outlet 111, and each water outlet unit 31 of each switching disc 3 is movably connected to the water outlet 111 corresponding to the switching disc 3. The control member 2 is engaged with the water outlet body 1, and the control member 2 is in transmission engagement with each switching disc 3. The control member 2 drives each switching disc 3 to rotate, so that each water outlet unit 31 of each switching disc 3 selectively connects to the water outlet 111 corresponding to the switching disc 3.

[0043] In Embodiment 1 of the present invention, the control element 2 drives each switching disk 3 to rotate, so that each water outlet unit 31 of the switching disk 3 selectively connects to the water outlet hole 111 corresponding to the switching disk 3. The switching disk 3 is provided with at least two water outlet units 31 for forming different water sprays. In this way, the present invention controls the different water outlet units 31 of the switching disk 3 to selectively connect to the water outlet hole 111 corresponding to the switching disk 3 by controlling the control element 2, so that the water outlet hole 111 can output different water sprays. This realizes that one water outlet hole can output at least two kinds of water sprays, so that the water outlet panel 11 does not need to set a corresponding water outlet hole 111 for each kind of water spray. This allows the size of the water outlet panel 11 to be made smaller, thereby reducing the volume of the entire water outlet device. Moreover, each kind of water spray can fully cover all the water outlet holes 111 on the entire water outlet panel 11, resulting in a large water outlet area.

[0044] In Embodiment 1 of the present invention, the water outlet panel 11 of the water outlet body 1 is provided with a rotating shaft 112 corresponding to each switching disk 3.
