Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of smart bathroom technology, and more particularly to a water spray mechanism and a smart toilet. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the oscillating cleaning function of smart toilets on the market mainly involves fixing the rear end of the nozzle to the rotating shaft of a vibration motor. The nozzle is then oscillated within a small lateral angle range by the reciprocating vibration of the motor shaft, thus achieving the oscillating cleaning effect.
[0003] However, this solution inevitably has several drawbacks: the vibrating motor typically generates significant noise during operation, and a vibration damping mechanism is needed to prevent resonance between the cleaner and the core mechanism; the constant vibration of the vibrating motor will cause the water spray mechanism to vibrate continuously, reducing its sealing and reliability, and thus shortening the lifespan of the water spray mechanism capable of oscillating cleaning; due to the small size of the spray bar itself, it needs to include the motor and water circuit, and the motor and steel pipe also require vibration damping to prevent collision noise, resulting in very cramped internal space and a complex assembly process, increasing labor costs; because the front end of the spray bar is constantly covered by water, there is a high level of moisture inside the spray bar, but due to the limited space, the motor cannot be waterproofed, which can easily cause corrosion, shortening its lifespan and thus reducing the lifespan of the oscillating cleaning system. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The water spray mechanism and smart toilet provided in this application can solve the problems of existing water spray mechanisms that require the use of a vibration motor, which results in a lot of noise. Long-term vibration causes the spray bar assembly to vibrate for a long time, which reduces the sealing and reliability of the spray head assembly, thereby reducing the service life of the water spray mechanism. The assembly process is complicated, which increases the manufacturing cost, and the motor is prone to corrosion.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, one technical solution adopted in this application is: providing a water spraying mechanism, wherein the water spraying mechanism includes: a housing, the interior of which a first accommodating cavity, a second accommodating cavity, a first water passage hole, and a second water passage hole are formed, the first water passage hole and the second water passage hole are spaced apart and connect the first accommodating cavity and the second accommodating cavity, a first water inlet pipe and a first water outlet pipe are respectively provided on adjacent side surfaces of the housing, the first water inlet pipe is connected to the first accommodating cavity, and the first water outlet pipe is connected to the second accommodating cavity; a rotating member, the rotating member is disposed in the first accommodating cavity, and the rotating member faces the second accommodating cavity. A third water passage hole is provided on one side; the nozzle assembly includes a water passage pipe and a water flow baffle. The outer side wall of one end of the water passage pipe is connected to the inner side wall of the first water outlet pipe, and the other end is connected to the water flow baffle. A fourth water passage hole is provided in the middle of the water passage pipe, and the first end and the second end of the water flow baffle are respectively provided to the first water passage hole and the second water passage hole, so that when the rotating part rotates around the first direction, the projections of the first water passage hole and the second water passage hole on the first side of the rotating part will alternately at least partially coincide with the third water passage hole; wherein, the first direction is parallel to the central axis of the first water outlet pipe.
[0006] The third water passage is located on one side of the center line of the first side of the rotating part.
[0007] The angle between the first end of the water flow baffle facing the rotating component and the first side of the rotating component is a predetermined acute angle; the first side of the rotating component is perpendicular to the first direction; the angle between the second end of the water flow baffle facing the rotating component and the first side of the rotating component is a predetermined acute angle.
[0008] The housing includes a first outer shell and a second outer shell. The first outer shell has a first accommodating cavity inside. A first water passage hole and a second water passage hole are provided at intervals on the second side of the first outer shell. The second outer shell has a second accommodating cavity with a first opening inside. The third side of the second outer shell corresponding to the first opening is connected to the second side of the first outer shell.
[0009] The nozzle assembly further includes a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft. One end of the first rotating shaft is connected to the outer wall of the water pipe, and the other end extends along a second direction. One end of the second rotating shaft is connected to the outer wall of the water pipe, and the other end extends in the opposite direction of the second direction. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. The inner wall of the second housing corresponding to the second accommodating cavity is provided with a first mounting groove and a second mounting groove, respectively, corresponding to the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft. The first rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the first mounting groove, and the second rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the second mounting groove.
[0010] The first outer shell has a first protrusion and a second protrusion on its second side corresponding to the first and second rotating shafts, respectively, and the first and second rotating shafts abut against the first and second protrusions, respectively.
[0011] The rotating component includes a control part and a connecting part. The first side of the control part is provided with a third water passage hole, and the connecting part is vertically connected to the middle position of the side of the control part away from the nozzle assembly.
[0012] The water spraying mechanism also includes a bottom cover and a connecting shaft. The first accommodating cavity has a second opening. The bottom cover is connected to the fourth side of the housing to close the second opening. The bottom cover is provided with a limiting hole. The connecting part is provided with a mounting hole corresponding to the limiting hole. One end of the connecting shaft is embedded in the mounting hole, and the other end is embedded in the limiting hole. An impeller is also provided on the side wall of the connecting part parallel to the first direction. The impeller is spaced apart from the bottom cover.
[0013] The water spraying mechanism also includes a sealing element. The middle part of the sealing element is provided with a fifth water passage hole corresponding to the water passage pipe. The two opposite ends of the sealing element are respectively connected to the first end and the second end of the water flow baffle. One end of the water passage pipe passes through the fifth water passage hole and is connected to the inner wall of the first water outlet pipe.
[0014] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, another technical solution adopted in this application is: to provide an intelligent toilet, wherein the intelligent toilet includes: a water spraying mechanism and a water storage mechanism, the water spraying mechanism includes a first water inlet pipe, the first water inlet pipe being connected to the water storage mechanism; wherein the water spraying mechanism is the water spraying mechanism as described in any of the preceding claims.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: Unlike existing technologies, the water spray mechanism provided in this application has a housing with interconnected first accommodating cavity, second accommodating cavity, first water passage hole, and second water passage hole. Adjacent side surfaces of the housing are respectively provided with a first inlet pipe connecting to the first accommodating cavity and a first outlet pipe connecting to the second accommodating cavity. A rotating component is disposed in the first accommodating cavity, and its first side facing the second accommodating cavity is provided with a third water passage hole. The outer side wall of one end of the water passage pipe in the nozzle assembly is connected to the inner side wall of the first outlet pipe, and its other end is connected to a water flow baffle. A fourth water passage hole is provided at the middle position of the water flow baffle corresponding to the water passage pipe, and the first and second ends of the water flow baffle are respectively positioned to correspond to the first and second water passage holes, so that when the rotating component rotates around the first side... When rotating, the projections of the first and second water passages on the first side of the rotating component will alternately overlap with the third water passage at least partially. Thus, when the water flows through the first inlet pipe, the first accommodating cavity, and the third water passage in sequence, it can alternately pass through the first and second water passages into the second accommodating cavity to alternately impact the first and second ends of the water flow baffle. This causes the water passage pipe to rotate and swing back and forth around the second direction perpendicular to the first direction, so that the water flow is oscillatingly sprayed out from the water passage pipe and the first outlet pipe. This does not require the use of other power sources to drive the water passage pipe to swing laterally, thereby effectively improving the reliability of the water spraying mechanism and reducing its production cost. At the same time, it will not generate other noise that would reduce the user experience, and it will not have any other impact on the overall structural layout of the machine. Furthermore, the presence of rotating parts inside the spray mechanism reduces the risk of scale buildup inside. The oscillating cleaning also helps increase the cleaning area and cleaning rate, thereby reducing the need for high flow rates and facilitating first-level water calibration. This significantly improves the user's cleaning experience while conserving water resources. Moreover, the overall structure of the spray mechanism is relatively simple, making it easier to assemble and deploy the components, resulting in lower costs. Attached Figure Description

It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
[0032] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0033] Please see Figures 1-4 ,in, Figure 1 This is an exploded schematic diagram of the first embodiment of the water spraying mechanism of this application. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 Assembly diagram of the central water jet mechanism. Figure 3 yes Figure 2 A cross-sectional view of the central water spray mechanism in operation. Figure 4 yes Figure 2 A cross-sectional view of the water spray mechanism in another operating state. In this embodiment, the water spray mechanism 1 includes: a housing 10, a rotating member 20, and a nozzle assembly 30.
[0034] Specifically, the water spray mechanism 1 provided in this application can be applied to a smart toilet to draw water from the water storage mechanism of the smart toilet and spray it out in a directional manner to clean specific parts of the user's body. Of course, in other embodiments, the water spray mechanism 1 can also be used in any other reasonable mechanical device such as a toy water gun or a sprayer, and this embodiment does not limit it in this way.
[0035] Specifically, the housing 10 of the water spraying mechanism 1 has a first accommodating cavity 1101, a second accommodating cavity 1201, a first water passage hole 1102, and a second water passage hole 1103 formed inside. The first accommodating cavity 1101 is spaced apart from the second accommodating cavity 1201, and the first water passage hole 1102 is spaced apart from the second water passage hole 1103. The first accommodating cavity 1101 is also connected to the second accommodating cavity 1201 through the first water passage hole 1102 and the second water passage hole 1103.
[0036] The shell 10 is provided with a first water inlet pipe 101 and a first water outlet pipe 102 on adjacent side surfaces. The first water inlet pipe 101 is connected to the first accommodating cavity 1101, and the first water outlet pipe 102 is connected to the second accommodating cavity 1201. Water from the external water channel or the external water storage mechanism can be introduced into the first accommodating cavity 1101 inside the shell 10 through the first water inlet pipe 101. Water from the first accommodating cavity 1101 is introduced into the second accommodating cavity 1201 through the first water passage 1102 and the second water passage 1103, and is sprayed out of the shell 10 from the outlet of the first water outlet pipe 102.
[0037] Furthermore, the rotating component 20 of the water spraying mechanism 1 is specifically disposed in the first accommodating cavity 1101 of the housing 10, and a third water passage hole 201 is also provided on the first side (not shown in the figure) of the rotating component 20 facing the second accommodating cavity 1201.
[0038] Furthermore, the nozzle assembly 30 in the water spraying mechanism 1 further includes a water pipe 31 and a water flow baffle 32. The outer side wall of one end of the water pipe 31 is connected to the inner side wall of the first water outlet pipe 102, while the other end is connected to the water flow baffle 32.
[0039] The nozzle assembly 30 has a fourth water passage hole (not shown) at the middle position of the water flow baffle 32, corresponding to the water passage pipe 31, so that the corresponding water flow can enter the water passage pipe 31 through the fourth water passage hole. The first end and the second end of the water flow baffle 32 are respectively set to the first water passage hole 1102 and the second water passage hole 1103. That is, the first end of the water flow baffle 32 is located on the first direction Z of the first water passage hole 1102, so as to block the first water passage hole 1102 in a certain operating state of the nozzle assembly 30, and the second end of the water flow baffle 32 is located on the first direction Z of the second water passage hole 1103, so as to block the second water passage hole 1103 in another specific operating state of the nozzle assembly 30.
[0040] For ease of understanding, let's take three mutually perpendicular directions as the first direction Z, the second direction Y, and the third direction X, with the first direction Z parallel to the central axis of the first water outlet pipe 102 and the third direction X parallel to the central axis of the first water inlet pipe 101 as an example. It can be seen that during the rotation of the rotating component 20 around the first direction Z, the projections of the first water passage hole 1102 and the second water passage hole 1103 in the housing 10 onto the first side of the rotating component 20 will alternately coincide with at least partially the third water passage hole 201 of the rotating component 20. That is, at the same time, one of the first water passage hole 1102 and the second water passage hole 1103 will be located on the first direction Z of the third water passage hole 201 of the rotating component 20, while the other will be blocked by the first side of the rotating component 20.
[0041] Therefore, when water flows from the first inlet pipe 101 into the first accommodating cavity 1101 and passes through the third water passage 201 of the rotating member 20 to flow into the second accommodating cavity 1201, as the rotating member 20 rotates continuously, the water flow will alternately pass through the first water passage 1102 and the second water passage 1103, so as to alternately impact the first end and the second end of the water flow baffle 32, causing the first end and the second end of the water flow baffle 32 to move back and forth in opposite directions, thereby driving the water passage pipe 31 in the nozzle assembly 30 to rotate and swing back and forth around the second direction Y, so as to swing and spray water from the water passage pipe 31 and the first outlet pipe 102, thereby effectively achieving the effect of swinging water discharge.
[0042] Furthermore, during the time it takes for the rotating component 20 to rotate one revolution, the first water passage hole 1102 and the second water passage hole 1103 will each have half the time for water to flow through the third water passage hole 201, so that when the rotating component 20 rotates at high speed, water can be alternately discharged through the first water passage hole 1102 and the second water passage hole 1103.
[0043] It is worth noting that, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, taking the maximum distance between the first end of the water flow baffle 32 and the first water passage hole 1102, and the angle between the water passage pipe 31 of the nozzle assembly 30 and the first direction Z as σ, as the rotating part 20 rotates, this angle σ will gradually become 0, and then smoothly change to the angle (-σ), which corresponds to Figure 4 When the distance between the first end of the water flow baffle 32 and the first water passage hole 1102 is the smallest, the angle formed between the water passage pipe 31 of the nozzle assembly 30 and the first direction Z, that is, as the rotating member 20 rotates continuously around the first direction Z, the water passage pipe 31 in the nozzle assembly 30 will rotate and swing back and forth around the second direction Y, so that the water flowing through the water passage pipe 31 swings back and forth.
[0044] In the above scheme, when the rotating component 20 rotates around the first direction Z, the water flowing through the third water passage 201 of the rotating component 20 alternately passes through the first water passage 1102 and the second water passage 1103 to alternately impact the first end and the second end of the water flow baffle 32, thereby causing the water passage pipe 31 to rotate and swing back and forth around the second direction Y, so as to swing and spray water from the water passage pipe 31 and the first water outlet pipe 102. Moreover, it does not require the use of other power sources to drive the water passage pipe 31 to swing laterally, thereby effectively improving the reliability of the water spraying mechanism 1 and reducing its production cost. At the same time, it will not generate other noise that would reduce the user experience, and it will not have any other impact on the overall structural layout of the machine. Furthermore, the presence of a rotating component 20 inside the spray mechanism 1 reduces the risk of scale buildup inside the spray mechanism 1. The oscillating cleaning also helps to increase the cleaning area and cleaning rate, thereby reducing the need for high flow rates in the spray mechanism 1 and facilitating first-level water calibration. This significantly improves the user's cleaning experience while also saving water resources. Moreover, the overall structure of the spray mechanism 1 is relatively simple, making it easier to assemble and deploy the components, and reducing the cost.
[0045] In one embodiment, the third water passage 201 of the rotating member 20 is specifically located on one side of the center line of the first side of the rotating member 20. That is, when the first side of the rotating member 20 is circular, the third water passage 201 is specifically located on one side of a diameter that divides the circle into two symmetrical parts.
[0046] It can be understood that at the same time, in the opposite direction of the first direction Z, one of the first water passage 1102 and the second water passage 1103 in the housing 10 will be blocked by the part of the first side of the rotating member 20 where the third water passage 201 is not provided, while the other will be exposed by the third water passage 201. Thus, during the time it takes for the rotating member 20 to rotate one revolution, the first water passage 1102 and the second water passage 1103 will each have half the time for water to flow through the third water passage 201, so that when the rotating member 20 rotates at high speed, water can be alternately discharged through the first water passage 1102 and the second water passage 1103.
[0047] Optionally, the third water passage 201 in the rotating member 20 occupies half the area of the first side of the rotating member 20, or is slightly smaller than half the area of the first side of the rotating member 20, depending on the actual application scenario, and this application does not limit it.
[0048] Please continue to refer to the following: Figure 5 and Figure 6 ,in, Figure 5 yes Figure 1 A detailed structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the first housing in the central water spray mechanism. Figure 6 yes Figure 1A detailed structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the second housing in the water spray mechanism.
[0049] In one embodiment, the housing 10 in the water spraying mechanism 1 may further include a first outer shell 11 and a second outer shell 12. Specifically, the first outer shell 11 has a first accommodating cavity 1101 inside, and a first water passage hole 1102 and a second water passage hole 1103 are provided at intervals on the second side of the first outer shell 11 facing the second outer shell 12 (not shown in the figure).
[0050] Furthermore, a second accommodating cavity 1201 with a first opening (not shown in the figure) is formed inside the second outer shell 12. The third side of the second outer shell 12 corresponding to the first opening (not shown in the figure) is connected to the second side of the first outer shell 11 to close the first opening of the second accommodating cavity 1201, and the second accommodating cavity 1201 can be connected to the first accommodating cavity 1101 through the first water passage 1102 and the second water passage 1103.
[0051] Optionally, the second outer shell 12 may be detachably connected to the first outer shell 11 for easy disassembly and cleaning, or it may be fixedly connected to the first outer shell 11. The second outer shell 12 and the first outer shell 11 may also be integrally formed components, which is not limited in this application.
[0052] Specifically, the first side of the rotating component 20 abuts against the inner wall of the first outer shell 11, which is provided with a first water passage hole 1102 and a second water passage hole 1103 corresponding to the first accommodating cavity 1101. So that when the first water inlet pipe 101 introduces external water flow into the first accommodating cavity 1101, it specifically enters the second accommodating cavity 1201 through the water flow channel formed by the third water passage hole 201 and the first water passage hole 1102, or the third water passage hole 201 and the second water passage hole 1103.
[0053] In one embodiment, a second water inlet pipe 103 is provided on one side of the first outer shell 11 at a distance from the first water inlet pipe 101, and a second water outlet pipe 104 is provided on one side of the second outer shell 12 at a distance from the first water outlet pipe 102. A second water flow channel 1204 is also formed inside the second outer shell 12. The second water inlet pipe 103 is specifically connected to the second water outlet pipe 104 through the second water flow channel 1204.
[0054] It is understood that the water spray channel formed by the second water inlet pipe 103, the second water flow channel 1204 and the second water outlet pipe 104 is independent of and not connected to the water spray channel formed by the first water inlet pipe 101, the first accommodating cavity 1101, the first water passage 1102, the second water passage 1103 and the second accommodating cavity 1201, so that water spray control can be performed independently and used to clean different parts of the user.
[0055] Similarly, a third water inlet pipe 105, a third water flow channel 1205, and a third water outlet pipe 106 can be further provided in the first outer shell 11 and the second outer shell 12 to form another independent water spray channel, or other more independent water spray channels, which will not be described in detail here.
[0056] In another embodiment, a fourth water inlet pipe 107 is provided on one side of the second outer shell 12 parallel to the first direction Z and the second direction Y, and the fourth water inlet pipe 107 is connected to the second accommodating cavity 1201 inside the second outer shell 12, so that external water flow can be directly introduced into the second accommodating cavity 1201 and the water flow can be sprayed out from the first water outlet pipe 102.
[0057] Understandably, by setting up the fourth water inlet pipe 107, when the user does not need to perform swing cleaning, the water flow channel corresponding to the fourth water inlet pipe 107 can be controlled by the distribution valve to spray water, so that the purpose of swing cleaning and fixed-point cleaning can be achieved through the same water outlet, namely the first water outlet pipe 102.
[0058] Optionally, the first water inlet pipe 101, the second water inlet pipe 103, the third water inlet pipe 105, the fourth water inlet pipe 107, the first water outlet pipe 102, the second water outlet pipe 104, and the third water outlet pipe 106 can be fixedly connected to the outer walls of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12, or they can be detachably connected to the outer walls of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12, so that they can be disassembled and cleaned after a period of use, thereby further reducing the possibility of blockage of the water spray channel.
[0059] Please continue reading. Figure 7 , Figure 7 yes Figure 1 A detailed structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the nozzle assembly in the water spray mechanism.
[0060] In one embodiment, the angle between the first end of the water flow baffle 32 in the nozzle assembly 30 and the first side of the rotating member 20 is specifically a set acute angle α; wherein, the first side of the rotating member 20 is perpendicular to the first direction Z.
[0061] Furthermore, the angle between the second end of the water flow baffle 32 facing the rotating member 20 and the first side of the rotating member 20 is also a set acute angle α.
[0062] Understandably, since the first and second ends of the water flow baffle 32 will be alternately impacted by the corresponding water flow during the rotation of the rotating member 20, and rotate around the second direction Y, in order to ensure that the first and second ends of the water flow baffle 32 can, when they are close to the first water passage 1102 and the second water passage 1103 respectively, be able to... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in order to obtain a larger water flow impact area, the first and second ends of the water flow baffle 32 need to be set at an angle relative to the first side of the rotating member 20, so as to facilitate pushing the water flow baffle 32 to drive the water pipe 31 to rotate around the second direction Y.
[0063] Optionally, the acute angle α can be equal to or close to any reasonable acute angle σ, and this application does not limit it in this regard.
[0064] In one embodiment, the nozzle assembly 30 further includes a first rotating shaft 33 and a second rotating shaft 34 spaced apart from each other. One end of the first rotating shaft 33 is specifically connected to the outer wall of the other end of the water pipe 31 of the nozzle assembly 30, while the other end extends along the second direction Y. One end of the second rotating shaft 34 is also correspondingly connected to the outer wall of the other end of the water pipe 31, while the other end extends in the opposite direction of the second direction Y.
[0065] Wherein, the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction Z, and the inner wall of the second outer shell 12 corresponding to the second accommodating cavity 1201 is also provided with a first mounting groove 1202 and a second mounting groove 1203 respectively corresponding to the first rotating shaft 33 and the second rotating shaft 34. The first rotating shaft 33 is rotatably connected in the first mounting groove 1202, and the second rotating shaft 34 is rotatably connected in the second mounting groove 1203, so that the water pipe 31 can rotate and swing back and forth around the second direction Y by means of the first rotating shaft 33 and the second rotating shaft 34.
[0066] Furthermore, in one embodiment, a first protrusion 111 and a second protrusion 112 are respectively provided on the second side of the first housing 11 corresponding to the first rotating shaft 33 and the second rotating shaft 34, and the first rotating shaft 33 and the second rotating shaft 34 abut against the first protrusion 111 and the second protrusion 112 respectively, thereby the first rotating shaft 33 and the second rotating shaft 34 are abutted and embedded in the first mounting groove 1202 and the second mounting groove 1203 by the first protrusion 111 and the second protrusion 112.
[0067] In one embodiment, the inner wall of the end of the water passage 31 in the nozzle assembly 30 facing the rotating member 20 is arc-shaped, and specifically it can be partially spherical or partially ellipsoidal. The end with the larger opening of the partially spherical or partially ellipsoidal shape faces the first receiving cavity 1101, so that when the water in the first receiving cavity 1101 flows into the second receiving cavity 1201 through the first water passage hole 1102 or the second water passage hole 1103, it can pass through the water passage 31 more smoothly and be sprayed out from the opening of the first water outlet pipe 102.
[0068] Please continue to refer to the following: Figure 8 and Figure 9 ,in, Figure 8 yes Figure 1 A detailed structural diagram of an embodiment of the rotating component in the water spray mechanism. Figure 9 yes Figure 8 A detailed structural diagram of the rotating component from another perspective.
[0069] In one embodiment, the rotating member 20 further includes a control part 21 and a connecting part 22. Specifically, the first side of the control part 21 is provided with a third water passage hole 201, and the connecting part 22 is vertically connected to the middle position of the side of the control part 21 away from the nozzle assembly 30.
[0070] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the water spraying mechanism 1 further includes a bottom cover 40 and a connecting shaft 50, and the first accommodating cavity 1101 inside the first housing 11 also has a second opening (not shown in the figure), and the bottom cover 40 is connected to the fourth side of the housing 10 (not shown in the figure) to close the second opening, and a limiting hole 401 is provided on the bottom cover 40, and the connecting part 22 of the rotating member 20 is also provided with a mounting hole 202 corresponding to the limiting hole 401. The connecting shaft 50 specifically passes through the mounting hole 202 of the connecting part 22 and is further embedded in the limiting hole 401 of the bottom cover 40.
[0071] Among them, an impeller 23 is provided on the side wall of the connecting part 22 of the rotating part 20 parallel to the first direction Z, and the impeller 23 is spaced apart from the bottom cover 40.
[0072] Understandably, by providing an impeller 23 on the side wall of the connecting part 22 of the rotating member 20, during the process of introducing water from the external water channel or the external water storage mechanism into the first accommodating cavity 1101 of the housing 10 through the first water inlet pipe 101, the impeller 23 will directly bear the continuous impact of the water flow, thereby driving the connecting part 22 and the control part 21 of the rotating member 20 to rotate around the first direction Z, specifically around the central axis of the connecting part 22. This allows the water flow to alternately flow from the first water inlet 1102 and the second water inlet 1103 into the second accommodating cavity 1201 through the third water inlet 201, thereby alternately impacting the first end and the second end of the water flow baffle 32 in the nozzle assembly 30. This causes the water inlet pipe 31 of the nozzle assembly 30 to periodically rotate and swing back and forth around the second direction Y, thus achieving the effect of swinging water discharge.
[0073] Optionally, the mounting hole 202 can be a blind hole, and the two ends of the connecting shaft 50 are respectively embedded in the limiting hole 401 of the bottom cover 40 and the mounting hole 202, so that the rotating part 20 and the bottom cover 40 can be rotatably connected.
[0074] Optionally, the mounting hole 202 can be a through hole, and a mating hole 1104 is provided on the inner wall of the first accommodating cavity 1101 of the first housing 11 corresponding to the limiting hole 401 of the bottom cover 40. One end of the connecting shaft 50 is specifically embedded in the limiting hole 401 of the bottom cover 40, while the other end passes through the mounting hole 202 of the connecting part 22 to be embedded in the mating hole 1104 of the first housing 11, so that the rotating part 20 can be rotatably connected with the bottom cover 40 and the first housing 11.
[0075] Optionally, the length of the impeller 23 in the first direction Z is less than the length of the connecting part 22 in the first direction Z, and one end of the impeller 23 specifically abuts against the second side wall 212 of the control part 21, while the other end is spaced apart from the bottom cover 40, so as to avoid direct contact between the impeller 23 and the bottom cover 40, thereby avoiding friction between the impeller 23 and the bottom cover 40 during the rotation of the rotating part 20, which would affect the rotation of the impeller 23 and cause wear.
[0076] Optionally, the impeller 23 may further include any reasonable number of blades (not shown in the figure), such as 4, 6 or 5, and one end of each blade is uniformly connected to one side wall of the connecting part 22 of the rotating member 20, and each blade is in the shape of an arc plate. This application does not limit this.
[0077] Optionally, the third water passage 201 in the control unit 21 may have multiple holes, and they are respectively located on one side of the center line of the first side of the control unit 21 between each pair of adjacent blades. This application does not limit this.
[0078] The above solution utilizes water as a power source, eliminating the need for other power devices to drive it. This effectively improves the reliability of the mechanism's operation and reduces production costs. Furthermore, it avoids vibration and noise that could negatively impact the user experience and does not adversely affect the overall structural layout of the machine. The presence of a rotating component 20 inside the water spray mechanism 1 also reduces the risk of scale buildup inside the nozzle, eliminating the need for additional power devices such as a vibration motor. This also effectively avoids the need for additional waterproofing and vibration damping for the vibration motor, further reducing the manufacturing cost of the water spray mechanism 1.
[0079] In one embodiment, the bottom cover 40 is provided with a limiting notch 402 at its edge, and the side of the first housing 11 facing away from the second housing is provided with a limiting step 113 corresponding to the limiting notch 402, so that the limiting step 113 can be embedded in the limiting notch 402, thereby effectively preventing the connecting shaft 50 passing through the mounting hole 202 of the connecting part 22 from being misaligned with the limiting hole 401, which would prevent the impeller 23 from rotating.
[0080] In another embodiment, the impeller 23 may not be provided on the outer wall of the connecting part 22 of the rotating member 20, and the end of the connecting part 22 away from the control part 21 may be connected to a transmission shaft (not shown in the figure) driven by an external motor, so that the rotating member 20 can be rotated around the first direction Z by the transmission shaft. This application does not limit this.
[0081] Please continue reading. Figure 10 , Figure 10 yes Figure 1 A detailed structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the sealing element in the water spray mechanism.
[0082] In one embodiment, the water spraying mechanism 1 further includes a sealing member 60. The sealing member 60 has a fifth water passage hole 601 at its middle position corresponding to the water passage pipe 31. The two opposite ends of the sealing member 60 are respectively connected to the first end and the second end of the water flow baffle 32 in the nozzle assembly 30. One end of the water passage pipe 31 passes through the fifth water passage hole 601 and is connected to the inner wall of the first water outlet pipe 102, so that the outer wall of the water passage pipe 31 can be more tightly connected to the inner wall of the first water outlet pipe 102, thereby effectively preventing the water in the second accommodating cavity 1201 from flowing out from the gap between the water passage pipe 31 and the first water outlet pipe 102.
[0083] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the sealing member 60 is provided with a first connecting post 62 and a second connecting post 63 at opposite ends on the side facing the nozzle assembly 30, and the first end and the second end of the water flow baffle 32 of the nozzle assembly 30 are respectively provided with a first connecting hole 3201 and a second connecting hole 3202 corresponding to the first connecting post 62 and the second connecting post 63. The first connecting post 62 and the second connecting post 63 are respectively embedded in the first connecting hole 3201 and the second connecting hole 3202 to connect the sealing member 60 and the water flow baffle 32.
[0084] Please continue reading. Figure 11 and Figure 12 ,in, Figure 11 This is a cross-sectional view of the second embodiment of the water spraying mechanism of this application. Figure 12 yes Figure 11 A detailed structural diagram of an embodiment of the third housing in the water spray mechanism. The difference between the water spray mechanism in this embodiment and the first embodiment of the water spray mechanism in this application is that the housing in this water spray mechanism 70 specifically includes a third outer shell 75.
[0085] The third outer shell 75 further includes a third accommodating cavity 7501 with a third opening, and a first water inlet pipe 751 is specifically disposed on one side wall of the third outer shell 75 and communicates with the third accommodating cavity 7501. A sixth water passage 7502 is also provided on the inner side wall of the third outer shell 75 corresponding to the third accommodating cavity 7501, which connects the third accommodating cavity 7501 to the first accommodating cavity 7101 in the first outer shell 71 of the housing.
[0086] Understandably, when the first water inlet pipe 751 introduces water into the third accommodating cavity 7501, it can specifically enter the first accommodating cavity 7101 through the sixth water passage 7502, thereby driving the rotating component (not shown in the figure) located in the first accommodating cavity 7101 to rotate around the first direction.
[0087] In one embodiment, the third outer shell 75 may further include a connecting plate 752, a mating plate 753, and a cover plate 754. The first outer shell 71 in the shell is specifically connected to one side of the connecting plate 752, and the mating plate 753 is connected to the other side of the connecting plate 752 away from the first outer shell 71 to form a third receiving cavity 7501 with a third opening. The cover plate 754 is connected to the mating plate 753 corresponding to the third opening to close the third opening.
[0088] The connecting plate 752 is provided with a sixth water passage 7502, which connects the third accommodating cavity 7501 to the first accommodating cavity 7101 in the first outer shell 71 of the housing.
[0089] Furthermore, in one embodiment, an isolation column 755 is provided at the middle of one side wall of the connecting plate 752 corresponding to the third accommodating cavity 7501, and the isolation column 755 abuts against the cover plate 754. The sixth water passage hole 7502 is specifically provided at a position on one side wall of the connecting plate 752 where the isolation column 755 is not provided, so that the accommodating space of the third accommodating cavity 7501 can be effectively reduced through the isolation column 755, so that water can flow more conveniently into the first accommodating cavity 7101 through the sixth water passage hole 7502.
[0090] Optionally, the mating plate 753 can be any reasonable shape, such as a round tube, an elliptical tube, or a square tube, while the isolation column 755 can be any reasonable shape, such as a cylinder, an elliptical column, or a square column. This application does not limit this.
[0091] Optionally, the number of sixth water passage holes 7502 on the connecting plate 752 can be any reasonable number, such as 1, 3 or 6, and when there are multiple sixth water passage holes 7502, they are evenly distributed on the connecting plate 752.
[0092] It is understood that in this embodiment, the second outer shell 72, the second accommodating cavity 7201, the rotating member 73, and the nozzle assembly 74 are the same as the second outer shell 12, the second accommodating cavity 1201, the rotating member 20, and the nozzle assembly 30, respectively. Please refer to [link / reference] for details. Figures 1-10 The relevant textual content will not be repeated here.
[0093] This application also provides a smart toilet, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 13 , Figure 13 This is a schematic diagram of a framework of one embodiment of the smart toilet of this application. In this embodiment, the smart toilet 80 includes: a water spraying mechanism 81 and a water storage mechanism 82.
[0094] Specifically, the water spraying mechanism 81 further includes a first water inlet pipe 811, which is connected to the water storage mechanism 82 so that the water stored in the water storage mechanism 82 can be introduced into the housing of the water spraying mechanism 81, and then the water can be sprayed out by other components of the water spraying mechanism 81.
[0095] Specifically, the water spraying mechanism 81 is either the water spraying mechanism 1 or the water spraying mechanism 70 as described in any of the preceding items. Please refer to the following for details. Figures 1-12 The relevant textual content will not be repeated here.
[0096] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: Unlike existing technologies, the water spray mechanism provided in this application has a housing with interconnected first accommodating cavity, second accommodating cavity, first water passage hole, and second water passage hole. Adjacent side surfaces of the housing are respectively provided with a first inlet pipe connecting to the first accommodating cavity and a first outlet pipe connecting to the second accommodating cavity. A rotating component is disposed in the first accommodating cavity, and its first side facing the second accommodating cavity is provided with a third water passage hole. The outer side wall of one end of the water passage pipe in the nozzle assembly is connected to the inner side wall of the first outlet pipe, and its other end is connected to a water flow baffle. A fourth water passage hole is provided at the middle position of the water flow baffle corresponding to the water passage pipe, and the first and second ends of the water flow baffle are respectively positioned to correspond to the first and second water passage holes, so that when the rotating component rotates around the first side... When rotating, the projections of the first and second water passages on the first side of the rotating component will alternately overlap with the third water passage at least partially. Thus, when the water flows through the first inlet pipe, the first accommodating cavity, and the third water passage in sequence, it can alternately pass through the first and second water passages into the second accommodating cavity to alternately impact the first and second ends of the water flow baffle. This causes the water passage pipe to rotate and swing back and forth around the second direction perpendicular to the first direction, so that the water flow is oscillatingly sprayed out from the water passage pipe and the first outlet pipe. This does not require the use of other power sources to drive the water passage pipe to swing laterally, thereby effectively improving the reliability of the water spraying mechanism and reducing its production cost. At the same time, it will not generate other noise that would reduce the user experience, and it will not have any other impact on the overall structural layout of the machine. Furthermore, the presence of rotating parts inside the spray mechanism reduces the risk of scale buildup inside. The oscillating cleaning also helps increase the cleaning area and cleaning rate, thereby reducing the need for high flow rates and facilitating first-level water calibration. This significantly improves the user's cleaning experience while conserving water resources. Moreover, the overall structure of the spray mechanism is relatively simple, making it easier to assemble and deploy the components, resulting in lower costs.
[0097] The above are merely embodiments of this application and do not limit the scope of this patent application. Any equivalent structural or procedural changes made using the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the scope of patent protection of this application.
