Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bathroom product technology, specifically to a faucet mouthwash dispenser. Background Technology

[0002] With social progress and economic development, people are paying more and more attention to oral hygiene, using various methods to remove food residue from their mouths after meals. As a result, more and more mouthwash faucets have appeared on the market. These faucets usually have two spouts: one upward-facing spout for rinsing water and one downward-facing spout for a foaming agent. However, some mouthwash faucets on the market have problems. Some have poor water flow patterns, some are inconvenient to use, and some are uncomfortable to use. Moreover, these problems cannot be solved simultaneously. Water with a good flow pattern usually flows too fast and doesn't taste good, while water with a good taste is usually too gentle and cannot maintain a good flow pattern, easily causing splashing. All of these situations can lead to a poor user experience. Chinese patent application number 202110239802.8 discloses a mouthwash faucet, including a base and a water outlet body. A water outlet body is provided above the water outlet body. The water outlet body can rotate relative to the water outlet body to change the direction of water flow. Only one stream of water flows out from the water outlet body, which is easy to splash outwards and does not taste comfortable, causing a stinging sensation. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the problems mentioned above, this invention provides a faucet mouthwash dispenser. The dispensed water is a pulsed flow that swirls around a straight water stream and blends together, resulting in a well-formed and non-splashing water flow. The mouthwash dispensed by this device has a comfortable taste and does not cause any stinging sensation.

[0004] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A faucet mouthwash dispenser includes a faucet body assembly and a pulse vortex component mounted on the faucet body assembly. The faucet body assembly has a mounting hole, and the pulse vortex component is installed in the mounting hole. The pulse vortex component includes an inlet section, a middle section, and an outlet section arranged sequentially. A first water inlet channel is provided at the axial center of the inlet section, and water outlet channels are provided at the axial centers of the middle section and the outlet section. The water outlet channels are connected to and coaxial with the first water inlet channel, and the diameter of the first water inlet channel is smaller than the diameter of the water outlet channel. At least three second water inlet channels are evenly distributed around the circumference of the middle section. The second water inlet channels are tangent to the water outlet channels and are connected to the water outlet channels. The second water inlet channels and the water outlet channels are arranged in an island-like configuration.

[0006] Furthermore, the first water inlet channel is a funnel shape with a diameter that gradually decreases, the narrow end of the first water inlet channel is connected to the water outlet channel, and the wide end of the first water inlet channel is the water inlet end.

[0007] Furthermore, a raised sealing surface is provided around the outer circumference of the outlet section, and the raised sealing surface is in a tight seal with the wall of the mounting hole.

[0008] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the inlet section is the same as that of the middle section, the outer diameter of the outlet section is larger than that of the middle section, the diameter of the mounting hole is the same as that of the outlet section, and the outer diameters of the inlet section and the middle section form a third water inlet channel with the wall of the mounting hole, which is connected to the second water inlet channel.

[0009] Furthermore, a flange is provided on the outer circumference of the outlet section, and the mounting hole is a stepped hole, with the flange overlapping the stepped hole.

[0010] Furthermore, the outlet section extends outward from the main body component of the faucet to form a protrusion.

[0011] Furthermore, all edges of the boss are rounded.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0013] 1) The present invention is equipped with a pulse vortex component. The water flow is formed by the pulse vortex component and the pulse water flow is drawn into the straight water flow and mixed together. The water flow of the mixed water flow has a better water pattern and will not splash outward. When the user uses the mouthwash from the device, the taste is comfortable and there is no stinging sensation.

[0014] 2) The diameter of the first water inlet channel of the present invention is smaller than the diameter of the water outlet channel. When the water flows into the water outlet channel through the first water inlet channel, it forms a cylindrical straight water flow. According to the Venturi principle, since the diameter of the straight water flow becomes smaller, the water flow will form a negative pressure zone in the outlet channel and produce an adsorption effect on the surrounding water flow.

[0015] 3) The second water inlet channel and the water outlet channel of the present invention are tangent. When the water flows into the water outlet channel through the second water inlet channel, a vortex-like vibration pulse water flow is formed. In addition, the flow cross section becomes larger and the pressure becomes smaller, so that the pulse water flow passing through the second water inlet channel is sucked by the suction force of the straight water flow flowing into the water outlet channel from the first water inlet channel, so that the pulse water flow is swirled around the straight water flow and blended together.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0024] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 The invention is described in detail with specific embodiments:

[0025] This invention provides a faucet mouthwash dispenser, such as... Figure 1-5As shown, the device includes a faucet body assembly 1 and a pulse vortex component 2 mounted on the faucet body assembly 1. The faucet body assembly 1 has a mounting hole 11, and the pulse vortex component 2 is installed in the mounting hole 11. The pulse vortex component 2 includes an inlet section 21, a middle section 22, and an outlet section 23 arranged in sequence. A first water inlet channel 24 is provided at the axial center of the inlet section 21, and a water outlet channel 25 is provided at the axial center of the middle section 22 and the outlet section 23. The water outlet channel 25 is connected to and coaxial with the first water inlet channel 24. The diameter of the first water inlet channel 24 is smaller than the diameter of the water outlet channel 25. When the water flows into the water outlet channel 25 through the first water inlet channel 24, it forms a cylindrical straight water flow. According to the Venturi principle, since the diameter of the straight water flow becomes smaller, a negative pressure zone will be formed in the outlet channel, and it will have an adsorption effect on the surrounding water flow.

[0026] At least three second water inlet channels 26 are evenly distributed around the middle section 22. The second water inlet channels 26 are tangent to the water outlet channels 25 and are connected to the water outlet channels 25. The second water inlet channels 26 and the water outlet channels 25 are arranged in an island shape. Since each second water inlet channel 26 is tangent to the water outlet channel 25, when the water flows through the second water inlet channel 26 into the water outlet channel 25, it forms a vortex-like vibrating pulse water flow. At the same time, when the water flows through the second water inlet channel 26 into the water outlet channel 25, the flow cross-section becomes larger and the pressure becomes smaller. This causes the pulse water flow passing through the second water inlet channel 26 to be sucked in by the suction of the straight water flow flowing from the first water inlet channel 24 into the water outlet channel 25. This causes the pulse water flow to swirl around the straight water flow and blend together, resulting in a better water pattern when the final mixed water flow is sprayed out and will not splash. In addition, when the user uses the mouthwash from this device, the taste is comfortable and there is no stinging sensation. Specifically, the number of second water inlet channels 26 can be set to three, four, six or more.

[0027] Furthermore, the first water inlet channel 24 is a funnel shape with a diameter that gradually decreases. The narrow end of the first water inlet channel 24 is connected to the water outlet channel 25, and the wide end of the first water inlet channel 24 is the water inlet end. The wide end of the first water inlet channel 24 is connected to the interior of the faucet body component 1. The water flows from the wide end to the narrow end, and the flow cross-section becomes smaller. According to the Venturi principle, an adsorption effect is generated on the water flow at the water inlet end at the first water inlet channel 24, forming a high-speed water flow that enters the water outlet channel 25.

[0028] Furthermore, a raised sealing surface 27 is provided on the outer circumference of the outlet section 23. The raised sealing surface 27 is in a sealed fit with the wall of the mounting hole 11, preventing water from leaking out of the faucet body component 1 and affecting the normal use of the faucet body component 1. At the same time, the setting of the raised sealing surface 27 has a simple structure, eliminating the need for an additional sealing ring, making it easy to disassemble and assemble, and simple to manufacture.

[0029] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the inlet section 21 is the same as that of the middle section 22, the outer diameter of the outlet section 23 is larger than that of the middle section 22, and the diameter of the mounting hole 11 is the same as that of the outlet section 23. The outer diameters of the inlet section 21 and the middle section 22, together with the wall of the mounting hole 11, form a third water inlet channel 3, which is connected to the second water inlet channel 26. The third water inlet channel 3 is connected to the interior of the faucet body assembly 1, and water flows from the third water inlet channel 3 into the second water inlet channel 26, causing the water in the second water inlet channel 26 to rotate while also having an upward flow momentum.

[0030] Furthermore, a flange 28 is provided on the outer circumference of the outlet section 23, and the mounting hole 11 is a stepped hole. The flange 28 overlaps with the stepped hole and is used to limit and fix the pulse vortex component 2.

[0031] Furthermore, the outlet section 23 extends out of the main faucet component 1 to form a protrusion 29, providing a longer channel for water flow and facilitating removal during disassembly and assembly.

[0032] Furthermore, all edges of the boss 29 are rounded to prevent injury to the user.

[0033] The working principle of the faucet mouthwash dispenser in this invention is as follows:

[0034] Water enters the faucet body component 1 from the outside. A portion of the water flows into the first inlet channel 24, forming a high-speed water flow that flows into the outlet channel 25, creating a cylindrical straight water flow. Due to the reduced diameter, the water flow in the outlet channel 25 has an adsorption effect on the surrounding water flow. Another portion of the water flows into the second inlet channel 26 from the third inlet channel 3, forming an upward-flowing water flow. The water flow from the second inlet channel 26 flows into the outlet channel 25, forming a vortex-shaped pulsed water flow. Under the adsorption effect of the straight water flow, the pulsed water flow is drawn around the straight water flow and blends together, forming a mixed water flow that is finally sprayed outward. The mixed water flow does not splash outward and has a good water pattern, providing a comfortable taste for the user without any stinging sensation.

[0035] The present invention has been further described above with reference to specific embodiments. However, it should be understood that the specific description herein should not be construed as limiting the nature and scope of the present invention. Various modifications made to the above embodiments by those skilled in the art after reading this specification are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
