DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0063] For better understanding of the technical solutions of the present application, the technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings of the specification and specific embodiments.

[0064] It should be noted that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing these embodiments and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation. In addition, the terms "first", "second", and the like are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined with "first", "second", etc. can be explicitly or implicitly included one or more of the features.

[0065] Because the existing foam machine does not use an inductor to sense and output foam, or uses a key switch arranged outside to output foam, the key switch arranged outside cannot switch channels when the key is triggered, so that when the foam machine needs to output liquid in multiple modes, a switching structure or multiple pump bodies need to be additionally arranged in the foam machine, thereby causing the structure of the entire foam machine to be complex and the implementation cost to be high. Therefore, in the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, a new trigger mode for outputting foam is provided, and the new trigger mode can facilitate switching channels when a switch is triggered, and the general idea is as follows: a foam device is designed to have a movable component movably arranged in a shell and a nozzle movably arranged on the shell, the movable component has a trigger portion extending out of the shell, and a trigger component is arranged outside the shell corresponding to the position of the trigger portion, so that when foam needs to be output by the foam output device, the nozzle only needs to be operated to drive the movable component to move, and the movable component can drive the trigger portion to contact the trigger component when moving, so that the trigger component generates a trigger signal and triggers the foam generating device to output foam.

[0066] Please refer to Figures 1 to 13 A preferred embodiment of a foam output device of the present application is shown in the drawings, which comprises:

[0067] A shell 1, a liquid passing cavity 11 is formed in the shell 1, which serves as a transition chamber for the transition of foam;

[0068] A foam generating device 2, the liquid outlet end of the foam generating device 2 is connected with the liquid passing cavity 11, and the foam generating device 2 can deliver the generated foam into the liquid passing cavity 11 when working;

[0069] a spray head 3 movably arranged on the housing 1, i.e. the spray head 3 is movable relative to the housing 1, an outer wall of the spray head 3 having a liquid outlet 31 in communication with the liquid passing cavity 11, the foam generated by the foam generating device 2 being capable of being outputted via the inside of the spray head 3 and through the liquid outlet 31 after being delivered to the liquid passing cavity 11;

[0070] a movable assembly 4 movably arranged in the housing 1, i.e. the movable assembly 4 is movable relative to the housing 1, the housing 1 being provided with an extension opening 12, the movable assembly 4 having a trigger portion 41 extending to outside of the housing 1 through the extension opening 12;

[0071] a trigger assembly 5 arranged outside of the housing 1 at a position corresponding to the trigger portion 41, so that when the movable assembly 4 is moved, the trigger portion 41 is capable of acting on the trigger assembly 5, thereby causing the trigger assembly 5 to generate a trigger signal;

[0072] When the foam generating device is in operation, the movable assembly 4 is moved by operating the spray head 3, so that the trigger portion 41 contacts the trigger assembly 5 and triggers the foam generating device 2 to deliver the foam to the liquid outlet 31 to realize foam output.

[0073] In the preferred embodiment of the present application, in order to enable the spray head 3 to move the movable assembly 4, the spray head 3 is provided with a pushing rod 32, specifically, the pushing rod 32 is arranged at one end of the spray head 3 facing the movable assembly 4, and the pushing rod 32 is arranged corresponding to the movable assembly 4; when the spray head 3 is operated, the movable assembly 4 is moved by the pushing rod 32, specifically, the spray head 3 is pressed to move the movable assembly 4 in the up-down direction by the pushing rod 32.

[0074] As a specific embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figures 7-8As shown, the nozzle 3 is formed with a first channel 33 and a second channel 34 in communication with the liquid outlet 31, and the foam in the liquid cavity 11 can be delivered to the liquid outlet 31 through the first channel 33 and / or the second channel 34, and the second channel 34 extends to the top end of the pushing rod 32; the movable assembly 4 is arranged in the shell 1 at a position corresponding to the liquid cavity 11, and the pushing rod 32 is located in the liquid cavity 11 at a position corresponding to the movable assembly 4, and the pushing rod 32 can block the second channel 34 when it is in contact with the movable assembly 4. By forming the first channel 33 and the second channel 34 in the nozzle 3 and extending the second channel 34 to the top end of the pushing rod 32, when the nozzle 3 is operated to drive the movable assembly 4 to move, the pushing rod 32 can be in contact with the movable assembly 4 and block the second channel 34, so that the foam delivered by the foam generating device 2 can only be output through the first channel 33; when the nozzle 3 is not operated, the pushing rod 32 can be separated from the movable assembly 4, and at this time, a traditional trigger mode (such as using an inductor for induction) can be used, so that the foam delivered by the foam generating device 2 can be output through the first channel 33 and the second channel 34 together, thereby realizing multiple modes of liquid output.

[0075] The foam device is designed to have the movable assembly 4 movably arranged in the shell 1 and the nozzle 3 movably arranged on the shell 1, the movable assembly 4 has a trigger portion 41 extending out of the shell 1, a trigger assembly 5 is arranged at a position corresponding to the trigger portion 41 outside the shell 1, the nozzle 3 has a pushing rod 32, the nozzle 3 has a first channel 33 and a second channel 34 in communication with the liquid outlet 31, and the second channel 34 extends to the top end of the pushing rod 32; so when it is needed to output foam through the foam device, the nozzle 3 can be operated to drive the movable assembly 4 to move, the movable assembly 4 can drive the trigger portion 41 to contact the trigger assembly 5 when it moves, so that the trigger assembly 5 generates a trigger signal and triggers the foam generating device 2 to generate foam output, and the pushing rod 32 in contact with the movable assembly 4 can block the second channel 34; therefore, by using the technical solution of the present application, at least the following beneficial effects are achieved:

[0076] 1. When the nozzle 3 is operated to drive the movable assembly 4 to trigger the trigger assembly 5 to generate a trigger signal, the second channel 34 can be blocked to realize channel switching, so that when the foam machine needs to realize multiple modes of liquid output, it is not necessary to additionally arrange a switching structure in the foam machine for channel switching, and one foam generating device 2 can be shared to realize multiple modes of liquid output; therefore, the overall structure of the foam machine can be simplified, the overall structure of the foam machine is more compact, the overall cost of the foam machine can be reduced, the market competitiveness can be improved, and the operation and use are also very convenient.

[0077] 2. The trigger assembly 5 can be conveniently hidden inside the foam machine, which helps to improve the waterproof performance of the foam machine and make the external structure of the foam machine more simple and beautiful.

[0078] 3. The trigger mode of the foam machine when outputting foam can be enriched, providing more choices for users.

[0079] In this specific embodiment, the channel cross-sectional area of the first channel 33 is smaller than that of the second channel 34. Since the smaller the channel cross-sectional area, the faster the flow rate, the present application can use the first channel 33 as a rapid flow channel and use the first channel 33 and the second channel 34 as a slow flow channel when it is implemented. In this way, when the trigger assembly 5 is triggered to work by pressing the spray head 3, the foam generated by the foam generating device 2 can be directly sprayed forward through the first channel 33 and the liquid outlet 31. This forward spraying mode can be used to spray detergent foam when cleaning doors and windows, and can also be used to spray hair spray foam. When the foam generating device 2 is triggered by a traditional trigger mode (such as using an inductor for induction), the foam generated by the foam generating device 2 can flow through the first channel 33 and the second channel 34 to the liquid outlet 31, and then flow downward from the liquid outlet 31. This downward flow mode can be used to flow out washing foam when washing hands or face. Therefore, it can well meet the use requirements of various occasions. Preferably, the channel cross-section of the output end of the first channel 33 is circular, so that the foam can be better sprayed forward.

[0080] As another specific embodiment of the present application, the first channel 33 is formed in the spray head 3 and communicates with the liquid outlet 31, and the foam in the liquid passing cavity 11 can be delivered to the liquid outlet 31 through the first channel 33. In this another specific embodiment, since the push rod 32 is only used to trigger the switch, the movable assembly 4 and the push rod 32 can be arranged in the liquid passing cavity 11 or outside the liquid passing cavity 11, and the push rod 32 can be connected to the bottom of the spray head 3 or connected to the side wall of the spray head 3 as needed.

[0081] As a preferred embodiment of the movable assembly 4 of the present application, please refer to Figures 3-5 As shown in the figure, the movable assembly 4 comprises:

[0082] The piston body 42, the lower end of the piston body 42 serving as the trigger part 41;

[0083] A sealing ring 43 is arranged on the bottom of the liquid cavity 11, and a piston assembly cavity 111 is arranged in the liquid cavity 11 and communicates with the outlet 12, so that the trigger part 41 can extend out of the housing 1 through the outlet 12; a bearing step 112 is formed in the piston assembly cavity 111, and the sealing ring 43 is arranged on the bearing step 112; the piston body 42 is arranged above the sealing ring 43, and the trigger part 41 of the piston body 42 extends through the sealing ring 43 and extends to the outlet 12; the bearing step 112 can support the entire movable assembly 4, so that the movable assembly 4 will not fall off the outlet 12 when the push rod 32 pushes the movable assembly 4 to move; the sealing ring 43 can be a rubber sealing ring, the inner wall of the sealing ring 43 is tightly arranged with the trigger part 41, and the outer wall of the sealing ring 43 is tightly arranged with the cavity wall of the piston assembly cavity 111, so that the sealing ring 43 can play a good sealing role after the movable assembly 4 is installed in the piston assembly cavity 111, and the foam will not seep out of the outlet 12;

[0084] A sealing piece 44 is arranged on the top of the piston body 42; when the push rod 32 has a second channel 34, the sealing piece 44 can seal and block the second channel 34 when the push rod 32 contacts the sealing piece 44, and in specific implementation, the sealing piece 44 can be a rubber sealing piece, the outer edge of the sealing piece 44 is in close contact with the cavity wall of the piston assembly cavity 111, so that the sealing piece 44 can also seal the gap between the piston body 42 and the piston assembly cavity 111, thereby further preventing the foam from seeping out of the outlet 12;

[0085] A guide ring 45 is arranged at the upper end of the piston assembly cavity 111 and is located above the sealing piece 44; the guide ring 45 can limit the positions of the piston body 42, the sealing ring 43 and the sealing piece 44 installed in the piston assembly cavity 111, so that the piston body 42, the sealing ring 43 and the sealing piece 44 will not be separated from the piston assembly cavity 111, and the guide ring 45 can also limit the upward stroke of the sealing piece 44, so that the push rod 32 can be separated from the sealing piece 44 after the nozzle 3 rebounds upward; in specific implementation, an upper end inner wall of the piston assembly cavity 111 is formed with a guide ring supporting step 113, the guide ring 45 is supported on the guide ring supporting step 113, and a gap can be reserved between the lower end of the guide ring 45 and the sealing piece 44, so that the piston body 42 can better move up and down.

[0086] When the nozzle 3 is pressed to push the pushing rod 32 to push the piston body 42 to move downward, the trigger part 41 of the piston body 42 can extend from the outlet 12 and press the trigger assembly 5 downward, so that the trigger assembly 5 can trigger the foam generating device 2 to work, and meanwhile the piston body 42 can press the sealing ring 43 downward to make the sealing ring 43 deformed; when the nozzle 3 is released, the piston body 42 can automatically float upward to realize homing under the elastic force of the trigger assembly 5 and the sealing ring 43, so that the piston body 42 is separated from the trigger assembly 5.

[0087] More specifically, the inner wall of the guide ring 45 is provided with a flow guide groove 451, and the abutting end of the pushing rod 32 is located in the guide ring 45. By extending the abutting end of the pushing rod 32 into the guide ring 45, it can be ensured that each time the nozzle 3 is pressed, the nozzle 3 can drive the pushing rod 32 to accurately push the movable assembly 4; at the same time, because the inner wall of the guide ring 45 is provided with the flow guide groove 451, the foam delivered to the liquid cavity 11 can enter above the sealing piece 44 through the flow guide groove 451, so that when the pushing rod 32 has the second channel 34, if the foam generating device 2 is triggered to work in a traditional trigger mode (such as using an inductor for induction) without pressing the nozzle 3, the foam in the liquid cavity 11 can flow into the second channel 34 through the flow guide groove 451 and output the foam through the second channel 34. Preferably, in order to make the foam flow into the second channel 34 through the flow guide groove 451 better, the inner wall of the guide ring 45 is provided with a plurality of flow guide grooves 451 along the vertical direction.
