Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of garden sprinkler equipment, and more particularly to a multifunctional sprinkler head. Background Technology

[0002] Garden sprinklers are used to connect water pipes to spray water onto surrounding flowers and plants to maintain their growth. They are usually fixed by being partially buried underground.

[0003] Conventional sprinklers typically only offer one spraying method: dripping, misting, or watering. Depending on the season and the plant's growth stage, the sprinkler head needs to be changed or the water volume adjusted to meet the requirements, making operation cumbersome and unable to meet people's daily needs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, this invention proposes a multifunctional nozzle.

[0005] The technical solution of this invention is implemented as follows: A multifunctional nozzle includes: a main body having a main channel and an atomizing unit; a rotating unit rotatably connected to the main body, having a first liquid outlet channel and a second liquid outlet channel. By controlling the rotation of the rotating unit, the rotating unit can move along the axial direction of the main body, thereby having a first working position, a second working position, and a third working position. When the rotating unit is in the first working position, the medium passes through the atomizing unit and is sprayed out from the first liquid outlet channel for atomized spraying; when the rotating unit is in the second working position, the medium flows out through the first liquid outlet channel for drip irrigation; when the rotating unit is in the third working position, the medium flows out through the second liquid outlet channel for continuous spraying.

[0006] In one embodiment, the atomizing unit includes a first atomizing groove, a second atomizing groove, and an atomizing chamber opened on the top of the main body. The first atomizing groove and the second atomizing groove are connected to the atomizing chamber. When the rotating unit is in the first working position, the atomizing chamber is connected to the first liquid outlet channel. When the medium enters the first atomizing groove and the second atomizing groove simultaneously through the main channel and further enters the atomizing chamber, the medium undergoes rotational atomization.

[0007] In one embodiment, the first atomizing groove and the second atomizing groove are respectively disposed on both sides of the atomizing groove and are arranged in parallel and staggered manner, so that the medium enters the atomizing chamber at high speed through the first atomizing groove and the second atomizing groove simultaneously and then rotates at high speed to produce an atomization effect.

[0008] In one embodiment, the rotating unit is sleeved on the main body. When the rotating unit is in the first working position, the top of the main body is in close contact with the rotating unit, so that the first liquid outlet channel is directly connected to the atomizing chamber. When the rotating unit is in the second working position, there is a gap between the top of the main body and the rotating unit to form a first cavity, so that the medium enters the first cavity from the main channel and then flows out from the first liquid outlet channel for drip irrigation.

[0009] In one embodiment, the rotating unit includes a first sealing ring, the main channel communicates with the side of the main body, the first sealing ring is sleeved on the main body, when the rotating unit is in a first working position and a second working position, the first sealing ring is located below the liquid outlet of the main channel, so that the medium flows out through the first liquid outlet channel, and when the first sealing ring is located above the liquid outlet of the main channel, the medium flows out through the second liquid outlet channel.

[0010] In one embodiment, the main body includes a rotating seat and a central column that are fixedly connected. The rotating seat includes a first liquid inlet and a liquid outlet. The liquid outlet is connected to the main channel. The central column is provided with a first thread on its outer side.

[0011] In one embodiment, the flip base is provided with an L-shaped slot, which includes a vertical slot and a horizontal slot that are connected; the central column is provided with a snap-fit ​​block, which can be snapped into the horizontal slot through the vertical slot, thereby snapping the central column into the flip base.

[0012] In one embodiment, the rotating unit includes: a rotating component with a second thread capable of engaging with the first thread, the rotating component having a first connecting groove; an end cap snapped onto the rotating component, the first liquid outlet channel and the second liquid outlet channel both being disposed on the end cap; a diverter frame located inside the end cap and sleeved on the central column, the first sealing ring being disposed between the diverter frame and the rotating component, the first connecting groove being located below the first sealing ring, and the diverter frame having a second connecting groove on its upper side. When the rotating unit is in a first working position, the main flow channel communicates with the first connecting groove, allowing the medium to quickly enter the first cavity and then be sprayed out from the first liquid outlet channel through the atomizing unit for atomized spraying; when the rotating unit is in a second working position, the diverter frame blocks the main flow channel, obstructing the flow rate of the medium for drip irrigation; when the rotating unit is in a third working position, the main flow channel communicates with the second connecting groove, allowing the medium to quickly enter the second liquid outlet channel.

[0013] In one embodiment, the multi-functional nozzle further includes a floor socket, on which the flip-up seat is rotatably mounted.

[0029] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the present invention discloses a multifunctional nozzle, comprising: a main body and a rotating unit. The main body has a main channel 21 and an atomizing unit. The rotating unit is rotatably connected to the main body and has a first liquid outlet channel 51 and a second liquid outlet channel 52. By controlling the rotation of the rotating unit, the rotating unit can be moved along the axial direction of the main body, thereby having a first working position, a second working position, and a third working position.

[0032] When the rotating unit is in the first working position, the medium passes through the atomizing unit and is sprayed out from the first liquid outlet channel 51 for atomized spraying.

[0033] When the rotating unit is in the second working position, the medium flows out through the first liquid outlet channel 51 for drip irrigation.

[0034] When the rotating unit is in the third working position, the medium flows out through the second liquid outlet channel 52 and is sprayed.

[0035] It is understandable that the rotating unit can change the internal structure of the nozzle by altering its positional relationship with the main body, thereby adjusting the outflow path of the medium and allowing the medium to flow out in different ways.

[0036] Preferred, such as Figure 4As shown, the atomizing unit includes a first atomizing groove 25, a second atomizing groove 26, and an atomizing chamber 27 located on the top of the main body. The first atomizing groove 25 and the second atomizing groove 26 are connected to the atomizing chamber 27. When the rotating unit is in the first working position, the atomizing chamber 27 is connected to the first liquid outlet channel 51. When the medium enters the first atomizing groove 25 and the second atomizing groove 26 simultaneously through the main channel 21 and further enters the atomizing chamber 27, the medium undergoes rotational atomization.

[0037] Preferably, the first atomizing groove 25 and the second atomizing groove 26 are respectively disposed on both sides of the atomizing groove and are arranged in parallel and staggered, so that the medium enters the atomizing chamber 27 at high speed through the first atomizing groove 25 and the second atomizing groove 26 simultaneously and generates an atomization effect when it flows out from the first liquid outlet channel 51.

[0038] Preferably, the rotating unit is sleeved on the main body. When the rotating unit is in the first working position, the top of the main body is in close contact with the rotating unit, so that the first liquid outlet channel 51 is directly connected to the atomizing chamber 27. When the rotating unit is in the second working position, there is a gap between the top of the main body and the rotating unit to form a first cavity 8, so that the medium enters the first cavity 8 from the main channel 21 and then flows out from the first liquid outlet channel 51 for drip irrigation.

[0039] Preferred, such as Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the rotating unit includes a first sealing ring 71, and the main channel 21 communicates with the side of the main body. The first sealing ring 71 is sleeved on the main body. When the rotating unit is in the first working position and the second working position, the first sealing ring 71 is located below the liquid outlet 13 of the main channel 21, so that the medium flows out through the first liquid outlet channel 51. When the first sealing ring 71 is located above the liquid outlet 13 of the main channel 21, the medium flows out through the second liquid outlet channel 52.

[0040] It is worth mentioning that the main channel 21 includes a first channel located at the center of the central column 2 and two second channels connected to the first channel, with the openings of the two second channels located on the sides of the central column 2 respectively.

[0041] In this embodiment, the main body includes: a flip seat 1, which includes a first liquid inlet 11 and a liquid outlet 13, the liquid outlet 13 being connected to the main channel 21, and an L-shaped slot 14 being provided on the flip seat 1, the L-shaped slot 14 including a vertical slot and a horizontal slot; a central column 2, which is provided with a snap-fit ​​block 22, the snap-fit ​​block 22 being able to snap into the horizontal slot through the vertical slot, thereby snapping the central column 2 into the flip seat 1, and a first thread 23 being provided on the outer side of the central column 2.

[0042] In this embodiment, the rotating unit includes: a rotating component 4, which is provided with a second thread 41 that can cooperate with the first thread 23, and a first connecting groove 42 is provided on the rotating component 4; an end cap 5, which is snapped onto the rotating component 4, and the first liquid outlet channel 51 and the second liquid outlet channel 52 are both provided on the end cap 5; a diverter 6, which is located inside the end cap 5 and sleeved on the central column 2, and the first sealing ring 71 is provided between the diverter 6 and the rotating component 4, the first connecting groove 42 is located below the first sealing ring 71, and a second connecting groove 61 is provided on the upper side of the diverter 6.

[0043] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the rotating component 4 has an annular snap-fit ​​groove 44, and the end cap 5 is snapped into the annular snap-fit ​​groove 44, thereby being fixedly connected to the rotating component 4.

[0044] like Figure 8 As shown, when the rotating unit is in the first working position, the main channel 21 is connected to the first connecting groove 42, so that the medium can quickly enter the first cavity 8 and then be sprayed out from the first liquid outlet channel 51 through the atomizing unit for atomized spraying.

[0045] like Figure 7 As shown, when the rotating unit is in the second working position, the diverter 6 blocks the main flow channel 21, thereby obstructing the flow rate of the medium for drip irrigation.

[0046] like Figure 9 As shown, when the rotating unit is in the third working position, the main channel 21 is connected to the second connecting groove 61, so that the medium can quickly enter the second liquid outlet channel 52.

[0047] Preferred, such as Figure 1 As shown, the multi-functional nozzle also includes a ground socket 3, and the flip seat 1 is rotatably mounted on the ground socket 3. The ground socket 3 is provided with a claw 31, which engages with the flip seat 1, allowing the flip seat 1 to flip. The ground socket 3 is also provided with a clearance groove 32, which allows the flip seat 1 to enter the clearance groove 32 after it is flipped downwards, so that the flip seat 1 can rotate to a larger angle.

[0048] Preferred, such as Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the flipping seat 1 also has a second liquid inlet 12, and a sealing cap 121 is provided at the second liquid inlet 12.

[0049] Preferably, the central column 2 is provided with a first locking block 24, and the rotating component 4 is provided with a second locking block 43. The first locking block 24 restricts the rotating component 4 from disengaging from the central column 2 through the second locking block 43.

[0050] Preferred, such as Figure 8 As shown, a second sealing ring 72 is provided between the rotating component 4 and the central column 2.

[0051] Preferably, a third sealing ring 73 is provided between the central column 2 and the flip seat 1.

[0052] The working principle of this invention is as follows:

[0053] like Figure 7 As shown, the multi-functional nozzle is in drip irrigation mode at this time, and the flip seat 1 can be flipped to the position shown. Figure 10 The ground is drip-irrigated under the condition of [condition]. At this time, the first sealing ring 71 is located below the outlet 13 of the main channel 21, and the diverter 6 blocks the outlet 13 of the main channel 21, so that the medium slowly enters the first cavity 8. Since the top of the central column 2 does not fit with the end cap 5, the atomizing unit does not work, and the medium slowly flows out from the first outlet channel 51.

[0054] Combination Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the rotating part 4 moves downward, so that the top of the central column 2 abuts against the end cap 5, and the multi-functional nozzle is in the atomizing spraying state. The first sealing ring 71 is located on the lower side of the liquid outlet 13 of the main channel 21, and the liquid outlet 13 of the main channel 21 is connected to the second connecting groove 61. The medium can quickly enter the first cavity 8, and then enter the atomizing chamber 27 through the first atomizing groove 25 and the second atomizing groove 26. Due to the high flow rate of the medium, it can rotate at high speed in the atomizing chamber 27 to produce an atomizing effect, and spray out from the first liquid outlet channel 51 to achieve the atomizing spraying effect.

[0055] Combination Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the rotating part 4 moves upward, so that the liquid outlet 13 of the main channel 21 is connected to the first connecting groove 42, and then flows out through the second liquid outlet channel 52, and the multi-functional nozzle is in the state of flowing spraying.

[0056] Example 2

[0057] like Figure 11 As shown, the structure of this embodiment is basically the same as that of embodiment 1, except that the flipping seat 1 is fixedly connected to the central column 2.

[0058] Preferably, the flip base 1 and the central column 2 are fixed by ultrasonic welding. It can be understood that ultrasonic welding makes the connection between the flip base 1 and the central column more stable and provides better sealing.

[0059] Preferably, compared to Embodiment 1, the distinguishing feature of this embodiment is that no third sealing ring 73 is provided between the flipping seat 1 and the central column 2. It is understood that the required sealing performance is achieved after ultrasonic welding, eliminating the need for further sealing rings.

[0060] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
