Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of bathroom fixtures, and in particular to a water outlet switching device that saves labor in operation. Background Art

[0002] Existing bubblers typically only produce a single type of bubbled water. When a different water splash is desired, the bubbler usually needs to be replaced. To achieve a bubbler capable of producing more than one water splash, dual-function bubblers are currently commonly used on the market, allowing consumers to select different water splashes as needed. Existing dual-function bubblers typically adjust the water splash by rotating the water outlet assembly. However, the pressing force of the existing button-type switching mechanism is easily affected by water pressure, making operation difficult. Summary of the Invention

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a labor-saving water outlet switching device includes:

[0027] The water outlet body 10 includes a water inlet channel 151, a first water outlet channel 141, and a second water outlet channel 142. The water outlet body 10 also includes a flow chamber 131. The flow chamber 131 includes a water inlet hole 132 connected to the water inlet channel 151, a first water outlet hole 133 connected to the first water outlet channel 141, and a second water outlet hole 134 connected to the second water outlet channel 142.

[0028] The switching unit includes a movable tube 20 movably arranged in the water outlet body 10, the movable tube 20 includes a hollow channel 21, and a first sealing portion 22 and a second sealing portion 23 are respectively provided at both ends of the movable tube 20. A flow gap 24 is provided between the outer wall of the movable tube 20 located between the first sealing portion 22 and the second sealing portion 23 and the inner wall of the flow cavity 131. When the movable tube 20 is in the first position, the water inlet 132 is connected to the first water outlet 133 through the flow gap 24. When the movable tube 20 is in the second position, the water inlet 132 is connected to the second water outlet 134 through the hollow channel 21.

[0029] In this embodiment, the switching unit also includes a switching member 30 that is in transmission cooperation with the movable tube 20, and a driving member 40 that cooperates with the switching member 30. A ratchet and ratchet structure is provided between the driving member 40 and the switching member 30, and the switching member 30 is driven by the driving member 40 to switch between the high position and the low position. Specifically, the ratchet and ratchet adopt a ballpoint pen type switching structure.

[0030] In this embodiment, an elastic member 50 is further included to provide a reset force for the movable tube 20. When the switching member 30 moves to a high position, the movable tube 20 moves to the first position under the action of the elastic force. When the switching member 30 moves to a low position, the switching member 30 drives the movable tube 20 to compress the elastic member 50 to move to the second position. Specifically, the elastic member 50 is a reset spring.

[0031] In this embodiment, the switching member 30 is in abutment with the movable tube 20 . The switching member 30 is further provided with a through hole 31 communicating with the water inlet hole 132 and the hollow channel 21 .

[0032] In this embodiment, the water outlet body 10 includes an upper body 11 and a lower body 12 that are detachably connected, and also includes a first core tube 13 installed in the upper body 11 and a second core tube 14 installed in the lower body 12. The first core tube 13 and the second core tube 14 are detachably connected, and the flow cavity 131 is formed in the first core tube 13. The gap between the second core tube 14 and the lower body 12 forms the first water outlet channel 141, and the inner cavity of the second core tube 14 forms the second water outlet channel 142.

[0033] In this embodiment, the water inlet joint 15 is further included and connected to the upper portion of the upper body 11 . The water inlet channel 151 is formed in the water inlet joint 15 .

[0034] In this embodiment, the driving member 40 is mounted on an end of the upper body 11 away from the lower body 12 .

[0035] In this embodiment, the driving member 40 includes a button 41 and a connecting rod 42 .

[0036] In this embodiment, an annular water outlet net 60 is provided at the water outlet end of the first water outlet channel 141 , and a bubbler 70 is provided at the water outlet end of the second water outlet channel 142 .

[0037] The specific working process of this embodiment:

[0038] In the initial state, the driving member 40 is in the high position. At this time, the movable tube 20 is in the first position. The water inlet hole 132 and the first water outlet hole 133 are both located between the first sealing portion 22 and the second sealing portion 23. The water inlet hole 132 is connected to the first water outlet hole 133 through the flow gap 24. Water flows from the water inlet channel 151 and the water inlet hole 132 into the flow gap 24 in sequence. The water in the flow gap 24 flows from the first water outlet hole 133 to the first water outlet channel 141, and then flows out of the annular water outlet network 60.

[0039] Pressing the driving member 40 causes the driving member 40 to move to the lower position, and then the movable tube 20 is driven to move to the second position through the switching member 30, so that the water inlet hole 132 is connected to the second water outlet hole 134 through the hollow channel 21. Water flows into the hollow channel 21 in sequence from the water inlet channel 151 and the water inlet hole 132. The water in the hollow channel 21 flows from the second water outlet hole 134 to the second water outlet channel 142, and then flows out of the bubbler 70.

[0040] This solution forms a flow gap 24 between the first sealing portion 22 and the second sealing portion 23. During the water intake process, the pressure between the first sealing portion 22 and the second sealing portion 23 is balanced, thereby driving the operation of the movable tube 20 more labor-saving, and has a simple structure and stable function.

[0041] The foregoing description shows and describes preferred embodiments of the present invention. As previously mentioned, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the form disclosed herein and should not be construed as excluding other embodiments. Instead, the present invention can be used in various other combinations, modifications, and environments and can be modified within the scope of the inventive concept described herein by the teachings above or by techniques or knowledge in the relevant art.
