The terms "first" and "second" are understood to distinguish technical features and not to indicate or imply relative importance, the quantity of indicated technical features, or the order of the indicated technical features.

[0035] Furthermore, unless otherwise defined, the technical and scientific terms used in this invention have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. The terminology used in this invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and not for limiting the invention. It should be understood that, when used in this specification and the appended claims, the terms "comprising" and "including" indicate the presence of the described features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or collections thereof.

[0036] Example: Figure 1-17As shown, a water delivery adapter includes a first bottle body 1 and a second bottle body 2, which are rotatably connected. It also includes a switching element for switching between clean water and soap solution. The switching element is rotatably assembled inside the first bottle body 1 and has a water passage hole 401 connected to the inlet end 301 and outlet end 101 of the adapter. The second bottle body 2 has a receiving cavity 6 for holding a medium or a storage bottle. The receiving cavity 6 has a first through hole 601 connected to the outlet end 301. The adapter has a first external thread, and the first bottle 1 has a first internal thread corresponding to the first external thread. The adapter is rotatably connected to the first bottle 1 through the engagement between the first external thread and the first internal thread. When the adapter moves upward, the water passage hole is connected to the interior of the adapter. The automatic switching function between clean water and soap solution is achieved through the engagement between the first external thread on the adapter and the first internal thread in the first bottle. Switching can be done without electricity, which improves the safety of the adapter during use. The rotary structure is simple and easy to use.

[0037] In one preferred embodiment, a third bottle body 3 is further included, which is mounted above the second bottle body 2, and the liquid inlet end 301 is disposed on the third bottle body 3.

[0038] The conversion component further includes a movable component 4 and a partition 5. The movable component 4 is rotatably assembled inside the first bottle body 1. The partition 5 is located below the movable component 4, with one end sleeved inside the movable component 4 and the other end connected to a position on the first bottle body 1 corresponding to the liquid outlet 101. The water passage hole 401 is located on the movable component 4, and the first external thread is located on the side of the movable component 4 facing the first bottle body 1. When the movable part moves upward, the water passage hole is connected to the interior of the partition. When the first bottle body is not rotated, the partition is sleeved inside the movable part and the top surface of the partition is in contact with the downward-facing side of the movable part. The interior of the partition is not connected to the water passage hole. When the first bottle body rotates counterclockwise, the movable part assembled inside the first bottle body moves upward through the engagement of the first external thread and the first internal thread. The front end of the partition is sleeved inside the movable part and located below the water passage hole, thereby making the interior of the partition connected to the water passage hole.

[0039] An annular plate 501 is provided on the top surface of the partition 5. The annular plate 501 is at least partially attached to the inner side of the movable member 4. When the movable member is not moving upward, the annular plate on the partition helps to improve the sealing of the partition and reduce the seepage of clean water into the interior of the partition. When the movable member moves upward, the annular plate on the partition helps to increase the speed at which clean water flows into the interior of the partition. By providing an annular plate on the partition, when the movable member moves up and down repeatedly, the annular plate helps to reduce the contact area between the outer wall of the partition and the inner wall of the movable member, reducing the degree of mutual wear between the partition and the movable member. In addition, the annular plate helps to improve the sturdiness of the partition.

[0040] The movable part 4 has a groove 402 on its upward-facing side, and a water passage hole 401 is provided on the inner wall of part of the groove 402. Through the cooperation of the groove and the water passage hole, clean water flows from the liquid inlet end of the conversion connector to the groove, and then flows through the water passage hole on the inner wall of the groove to the liquid outlet end of the conversion connector.

[0041] The water passage is provided in multiple sets, and the multiple sets of water passage are distributed at intervals. The multiple sets are conducive to increasing the water flow rate and the speed of water flow.

[0042] The movable member 4 is provided with a first recess 403, which is recessed inward from the bottom of the movable member 4 toward the partition member 5. The partition member 5 is provided with a second recess 502 corresponding to the first recess 403. One end of the accommodating cavity 6 with a first through hole 601 is fitted into the first recess 403. The first recess provides clearance space for the end of the accommodating cavity with the first through hole, so that the accommodating cavity can be fitted inside the first recess of the movable member. The depth of the first recess is greater than the length of the end of the accommodating cavity with the first through hole, so that the movable member is less likely to interfere with the accommodating cavity when it moves upward. The second recess is provided corresponding to the first recess, so that the first recess can be fitted inside the second recess.

[0043] The first recess 403 has a protruding ring 405 corresponding to the partition 5 on its downward-facing side. When the movable part 4 rotates to the point where the bottom surface of the first recess 403 is in contact with the top surface of the second recess 502, the outer side wall of the protruding ring 405 is in contact with or nearly in contact with the inner side wall of the partition 5. The corresponding arrangement of the protruding ring and the partition facilitates the positioning of the movable part and reduces the possibility of the movable part shifting.

[0044] The movable component 4 is provided with a second through hole 406 corresponding to the first through hole 601. The second through hole 406 is provided on the first recess 403, so that when the soap liquid in the accommodating cavity flows out from the first through hole, it can flow out through the second through hole on the movable component towards the liquid outlet end.

[0045] The accommodating cavity 6 is also provided with a liquid outlet pipe 602. One end of the liquid outlet pipe 602 is disposed on the first through hole 601 and is connected to the accommodating cavity 6. The other end of the liquid outlet pipe 602 passes through the second through hole 406 and is connected to the liquid outlet end 301. The liquid outlet pipe allows the soap liquid in the accommodating cavity to flow out more smoothly, which helps to increase the flow rate of the soap liquid.

[0046] The system also includes a mixing component 8, which has a mixing inlet at the top and a mixing outlet at the bottom. The mixing component 8 is disposed inside the partition and its top is connected to the inner wall of the partition. The mixing outlet is connected to the liquid outlet. The mixing component allows water and soap solution to mix within the mixing component, which helps to improve the mixing degree of water and soap solution.

[0047] The mixing component is funnel-shaped and serves to guide the flow.

[0048] The first bottle body 1 has a connecting post 102 on the side facing the second bottle body 2. The upper end of the connecting post 102 has a locking part 103. The second bottle body 2 has an installation groove corresponding to the connecting post 102 and the locking part 103. The connecting post 102 and the locking part 103 are rotatably locked in the installation groove. The connecting post and locking part on the first bottle body and the installation groove on the second bottle body have simple structures, which are convenient for production and for subsequent assembly of the first bottle body and the second bottle body.

[0049] The mounting groove is either annular or arc-shaped and is disposed on the second bottle body.

[0050] The outer diameter of the engaging part is larger than the inner diameter of the mounting groove near the groove opening, which allows the first bottle and the second bottle to be connected more securely, reducing the risk of the connecting post and engaging part on the first bottle coming off the mounting groove and causing the first bottle to fall off and damage the adapter.

[0051] The mounting groove is an inverted convex hollow.

[0052] The outer shapes of the engaging part and the connecting post are matched with the outer shape of the mounting groove, so that the first bottle body and the second bottle body can be rotatably connected.

[0053] A fixing member 7 is provided on the inner side of the third bottle body 3, and a fixing piece 701 corresponding to the accommodating cavity 6 is provided on the fixing member 7. The accommodating cavity 6 is connected to the fixing piece 701.

[0054] The fixing member 7 is provided with a third through hole 702, which is located near the outer edge of the fixing member 7.

[0055] The third through hole is provided in multiple sets, and the multiple sets of the third through hole are arranged around the fixing member. The multiple sets are conducive to improving the flow rate and velocity of the clean water.

[0056] The fixing piece protrudes downward from the bottom surface of the fixing member.

[0057] The inner diameter of the fixing plate matches the outer diameter of the accommodating cavity, and the end of the accommodating cavity away from the first through hole is fitted into the fixing plate, which helps to improve the stability of the fit between the various parts inside the adapter.

[0058] The outer diameter of the fastener matches the inner diameter of the third bottle.

[0059] The inner wall of the third bottle body 3 is provided with a limiting block 202. Multiple sets of the limiting blocks 202 are pressed onto the fixing member 7, which helps to improve the stability of the cooperation between the various parts inside the conversion connector.

[0060] The inner wall of the fixing piece 701 is provided with a second internal thread, and the outer wall of the accommodating cavity 6 is provided with a second external thread that mates with the internal thread. The mate between the second internal thread and the second external thread further enhances the stability between the accommodating cavity and the fixing member. The threaded mate makes it easy to assemble and disassemble the accommodating cavity and the fixing member.

[0061] The fixing member 7 has a mounting base 703 on the side facing the liquid inlet end 301, which is corresponding to the liquid inlet end 301 and is used to connect to the faucet. The lower end of the mounting base 703 is at least partially provided with a notch 704. The faucet is connected to the upper end of the mounting base 703. The water outlet of the faucet passes through the liquid inlet end on the third bottle body and is fitted onto the mounting base. The notch makes way for clean water, so that clean water can flow out from the notch.

[0062] The adapter automatically switches between clean water and soap solution through a mechanical engagement between the first internal thread inside the first bottle and the first external thread on the movable part. Switching can be done without electricity, making it convenient to use, reducing safety hazards, and improving the safety of product use. The structure of the movable part, the partition, and the first bottle is simple. The detachable assembly of each part makes the adapter easy to disassemble and clean, thereby improving the cleanliness and hygiene of the adapter's interior. At the same time, it is easy to manufacture and helps reduce production costs.

[0063] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
