[0001] This invention relates to the field of water products, and more specifically to a connecting component, a water dispensing component, and a water dispensing device. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technology, users typically use bath sponges to increase the comfort of bathing in the bathtub. To prevent most of the bath sponge residue from flowing into the bathtub, the bath sponge is usually placed in the receiving cavity of the bath sponge. The installation of the bath sponge and the faucet seat is achieved through a rotating snap-fit ​​structure. The rotating snap-fit ​​structure is usually an L-shaped groove and a protrusion. The protrusion enters the L-shaped groove and then rotates to achieve the limiting action. This method requires two steps for the user to achieve, namely the insertion action and the rotation action, which is relatively troublesome. Summary of the Invention

[0026] Option 17, a water outlet device, comprising a water outlet body and a water outlet component as described in any one of Options 14 to 16, wherein the water outlet body has an internal water passage, and the main body is fixedly connected to the water outlet body and the water inlet is connected to the internal water passage of the water outlet body.

[0027] As can be seen from the above description of the present invention and its preferred embodiments, compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention and its preferred embodiments have the following beneficial effects due to the adoption of the following technical means:

[0028] 1. In Scheme 1 and its preferred embodiments, a connecting component includes a body, a rotating component, and a sliding component.

[0029] The rotating component is rotatably connected to the body about a first axis extending along a first direction. It is provided with a ratchet part, and the ratchet part is provided with a toothed bottom surface and a groove with the opening facing away from the toothed bottom surface.

[0030] The sliding component has a mating part and a sitting part, and the mating part has a toothed top surface.

[0031] During operation, the user can perform the following steps: slide the slider until the seated portion passes the ratchet portion, and then apply an upward force (along the first direction and towards the toothed bottom surface) to the slider. The toothed top surface is adapted to engage with the inclined surface of the toothed bottom surface to drive the rotating part to rotate around the first axis in the first circumferential direction until the toothed bottom surface rotates to the bottom of one tooth of the toothed top surface, at which point the rotating part can no longer rotate and stops. At this point, the user releases the force, and the seated portion falls into the seated groove due to its own weight and is supported by the bottom of the seated groove. The slider cannot detach downward from the rotating part, thus completing the assembly. When installing the slider, the user only needs to apply upward force to the slider and then release to achieve assembly, which is relatively simple and convenient.

[0032] The seated part only begins to rotate after it has passed the ratchet part, thus preventing interference between the ratchet part and the seated part during rotation, which would prevent rotation. The seated part can only fall into the seated groove after it has passed the ratchet part. The rotating part and the main body are mutually restrained along the first direction, preventing the rotating part from being driven to move by the sliding part and thus preventing it from rotating under the action of the sliding part. This also ensures that the rotating part is supported by the main body.

[0033] 2. In Scheme 2 and its preferred embodiments, the seating portion is adapted to engage with the inclined surface of the bottom of the seating groove when it is situated on the bottom of the groove, so as to drive the rotating component to continue rotating around the first axis in the first circumferential direction and stop through this arrangement. When the user disassembles, the sliding component can be rotated to make the seating portion detach from the groove along the bottom of the groove, and then force can be applied downward to the sliding component to detach it from the rotating component. The disassembly method is more diverse and more convenient.

[0034] 3. In Scheme 3 and its preferred embodiments, after Scheme 2, the top surface of the tooth is refitted to match the inclined surface of the bottom surface of the tooth.

[0035] At this point, the user applies an upward force to the slider, causing the seated part to disengage from the seated groove. The toothed top surface re-engages with the toothed bottom inclined surface to drive the rotating part to continue rotating around the first axis along the first circumference until the toothed bottom surface rotates to the bottom of one tooth of the toothed top surface. At this point, the rotating part can no longer rotate and stops. The seated part then aligns with the first inclined surface, releasing the force applied to the slider. The slider slides downward and engages with the seated part with the first inclined surface, thus continuing to push the rotating part to a position where the slider can disengage from the rotating part. When the seated part completely disengages from the first inclined surface, the slider can automatically disengage from the rotating part by its own weight.

[0036] When disassembling using this method, users only need to apply upward force to the sliding part and then release it for automatic disassembly, which is simple and convenient.

[0037] 4. In Scheme 4 and its preferred embodiments, when the sitting part passes the ratchet part, the sixth inclined surface abuts against the second inclined surface, and the eighth inclined surface abuts against the fourth inclined surface, causing the rotating part to rotate along the first circumferential direction. When the seventh inclined surface abuts against the third inclined surface, the tooth tip and tooth root match, the rotating part stops rotating, and the rotating part comes to a stop. At this time, the sitting part corresponds to the sitting groove.

[0038] When the user releases the upward thrust, the slider falls downward into the groove, and the toothed top surface disengages from the toothed bottom surface, allowing the subsequent rotation of the rotating component. Simultaneously, the tenth inclined surface engages with the fifth inclined surface, causing the rotating component to rotate around the first circumference until the resting part abuts against the transition surface, at which point the rotating component stops rotating and comes to a stop. At this point, the toothed top surface is re-fitted to engage with the toothed bottom inclined surface. After this step, the resting part is supported by the groove, completing the assembly of the slider and rotating component.

[0039] During disassembly, the user applies upward force to the slider, causing it to slide upward so that the seated part moves upward along the transition surface and disengages from the seated groove. The same ratchet part abuts against two mating parts. The eighth inclined surface of one mating part abuts against the second inclined surface, and the sixth inclined surface of the other mating part abuts against the fourth inclined surface, causing the rotating part to rotate around the first circumference until the third inclined surface abuts against the ninth inclined surface, at which point the parts stop. At this point, the tips of the third and fourth inclined surfaces fall into the clearance hole, and the seated part corresponds to the first inclined surface.

[0040] Releasing the force on the sliding component allows it to fall under the action of the elastic element, causing the tenth inclined surface of the mounting portion to engage with the first inclined surface. This allows the rotating component to rotate around the first circumference, aligning the mounting portion with the slide rail to allow the sliding component to disengage from the rotating component. Under the action of the elastic element, the mounting portion slides downwards and through the slide rail, thus achieving disassembly. During installation and disassembly, the user only needs to apply upward force to the sliding component and then release it for automatic assembly and disassembly, making it simple and convenient.

[0041] 5. In Scheme 5 and its preferred embodiments, the two inclined surfaces that cooperate with each other have the same inclination angle to achieve surface contact. That is, the inclination angles of the tenth inclined surface, the fifth inclined surface, and the first inclined surface are the same; the inclination angles of the sixth inclined surface, the eighth inclined surface, the second inclined surface, and the fourth inclined surface are the same; and the inclination angles of the seventh inclined surface, the ninth inclined surface, and the third inclined surface are the same. Surface-to-surface contact is more stable and has less wear than line-to-surface contact.

[0042] 6. In Scheme Six and its preferred embodiments, the rotating component has at least two ratchet portions, and the number of mating portions and sitting portions is the same as the number of ratchet portions. Each ratchet portion is arranged around the first axis, and a slide suitable for the sitting portion to pass through is formed between adjacent ratchet portions. After the user aligns the sitting portion with the slide, the user applies upward force to the sliding component to achieve the above-mentioned assembly. By using multiple sets of ratchet portions and mating portions, the contact area can be increased, making the rotating component easier to rotate and more stable. By using multiple sets of ratchet portions and sitting portions, the support area can be increased, making the sliding component more stable when supported by the rotating component.

[0043] 7. In Scheme 7 and its preferred embodiments, the sliding member is continuously provided with inclined surfaces to cooperate with the toothed bottom surface to prevent interference. This will make the processing of the sliding member more complicated and increase the material cost. By providing a relief hole between adjacent mating parts, the relief hole is suitable for the toothed bottom surface to extend into, thereby preventing the toothed bottom surface from interfering with the sliding member when rotating and reducing the processing cost.

[0044] 8. In Scheme 8 and its preferred embodiments, when manufacturing the sliding part, a mold is used for forming. The position of the clearance hole corresponds to the position of the sitting part along the first direction, so that the core extending upward along the first direction in the mold can form the clearance hole while forming the bottom surface of the sitting part. Similarly, a sitting part is provided between each mating part so that the core extending downward along the first direction in the mold can form the toothed top surface.

[0045] 9. In Scheme 9 and its preferred embodiments, in the above scheme, after the user aligns the seat part with the slide, the user applies upward force to the sliding part to achieve the above assembly. However, in some cases, it is not convenient for the user to observe the slide, so the user can only assemble by feel, which is more troublesome.

[0046] In this solution, the ratchet part is also provided with a guide surface. When the sliding part is adapted to slide along the first direction and towards the toothed bottom surface, the sitting part cooperates with the inclined surface of the guide surface to make the rotating part rotate in the first circumferential direction or the opposite direction of the first circumferential direction to make the sitting part correspond to the slide rail, so that the sitting part is adapted to pass through the slide rail. The user does not need to align the slide rail position during installation to achieve assembly, which is more convenient and efficient.

[0047] 10. In Scheme 10 and its preferred embodiments, the rotating component is provided with a mounting hole, the ratchet portion protrudes from the inner wall of the mounting hole, and the sliding component is at least partially adapted to be inserted into the mounting hole so that the sitting portion and / or the mating portion engages with the ratchet portion. The mounting portion can be hidden in the mounting hole, making the water outlet component more aesthetically pleasing. The problem that users cannot easily observe the position of the slide can be solved by Scheme 7.

[0048] 11. In Scheme 11 and its preferred embodiments, the two ends of the elastic element abut against the body and the sliding element respectively along the first direction and apply a force to the sliding element to make it move away from the toothed bottom surface. The elastic element can assist the sliding element to slide downward. Compared with the gravity of the sliding element, the elastic element is more stable when used and is more versatile in various occasions.

[0049] 12. In Scheme Twelve and its preferred embodiments, the elastic member is provided with a limiting surface facing the sliding member. The limiting surface is adapted to abut against the body to prevent the elastic member from detaching from the body when the sliding member is not assembled with the rotating member.

[0050] 13. In Scheme Thirteen and its preferred embodiments, the body includes a mounting component and an abutment component. The mounting component has a first limiting surface, the abutment component has a second limiting surface opposite to the first limiting surface, and the rotating component has a first abutment surface and a second abutment surface that are opposite to each other. The abutment component is detachably connected to the mounting component and the first abutment surface is adapted to abut against the first limiting surface, and the second abutment surface is adapted to abut against the second limiting surface, thereby realizing the assembly of the rotating component and limiting the rotating component relative to the body in the first direction.

[0051] 14. In Scheme Fourteen and its preferred embodiments, a water outlet component includes the aforementioned connecting component. The main body is provided with a water inlet, and the sliding member is provided with a water outlet. The sliding member is also sealed and inserted into the main body along a first direction to connect the water outlet and the water inlet. When the sliding member slides upward, it is sealed and inserted into the main body to realize the water channel cooperation between the sliding member and the main body. The assembly of the sliding member and the rotating member is also achieved by sliding upward, which is simple and convenient.

[0052] 15. In Scheme 15 and its preferred embodiments, the sliding member is provided with a receiving cavity suitable for accommodating the bath ball, and the receiving cavity is connected to the water outlet and the water inlet, thereby increasing the user's bathing experience.

[0053] 16. In Scheme Sixteen and its preferred embodiments, the main body is provided with a plug-in part, the plug-in part is provided with a water inlet, the main body is provided with a plug hole extending along a first direction, the plug hole is connected to the water outlet, a sealing ring is provided on the wall of the plug hole, the plug-in part is adapted to plug into the plug hole and abut against the sealing ring. Since the sliding part is assembled with the main body by plugging, in some schemes, it also slides along the first direction when disassembling, that is, it does not rotate relative to the main body. When in use, it will not slide or rotate relative to the main body. Therefore, when the above method is used for sealing, the wear of the sealing ring is small during the assembly, disassembly and use of the sliding part, which can increase the life of the sealing ring.

[0054] 17. In Scheme Seventeen and its preferred embodiments, a water outlet device includes a water outlet body and a water outlet component as described above. The water outlet body has an internal water passage, and the main body is fixedly connected to the water outlet body, with the inlet communicating with the internal water passage of the water outlet body. This water outlet device has the functions provided by the aforementioned water outlet component. By installing the water outlet component on the water outlet body, the water outlet function of the water outlet body becomes more diverse. Attached Figure Description

[0083] In the claims, description and accompanying drawings of this invention, the terms "comprising," "having," and variations thereof are used to mean "including but not limited to."

[0084] refer to Figures 1-14 A connecting component includes a body 1, a rotating component 2, a sliding component 3, and an elastic component 4.

[0085] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 The main body 1 is used to mount the rotating component 2. The main body 1 includes a detachably connected mounting component 11 and an abutment component 12. The mounting component 11 and the abutment component 12 clamp the rotating component 2 along a first direction, so that the rotating component 2 and the main body 1 are in a limited engagement along the first direction. The first direction is... Figure 2The vertical direction is shown in the figure. In this embodiment, the mounting member 11 and the abutment member 12 are screwed together. One of the mounting member 11 and the abutment member 12 is provided with an internal thread, and the other is provided with an external thread. Specifically, the mounting member 11 is provided with a first groove with the groove opening facing downward. The first groove is provided with a first limiting surface 111, which is perpendicular to the first direction and faces downward. The abutment member 12 is provided with a second limiting surface 121 opposite to the first limiting surface 111, which is perpendicular to the first direction and faces upward.

The upper and lower end faces of the annular wall 21 respectively form a first abutting surface 211 and a second abutting surface 212 that are opposite to each other. The rotating component 2 is installed in the first groove of the mounting component 11. When the abutting component 12 is screwed to the mounting component 11, the second limiting surface 121 pushes against the second abutting surface 212, causing the rotating component 2 to slide upwards in the first groove until it is installed in place. At this time, the first abutting surface 211 abuts against the first limiting surface 111, and the second abutting surface 212 abuts against the second limiting surface 121, thereby realizing the assembly of the rotating component 2 and realizing the limiting cooperation between the rotating component 2 and the body 1 along the first direction.

[0088] refer to Figure 4 The ratchet portion 22 protrudes from the inner wall of the mounting hole 23. There are at least two ratchet portions 22, each ratchet portion 22 is arranged around the first axis, and a slide 24 extending in the first direction is formed between adjacent ratchet portions 22.

[0089] The ratchet portion 22 has a toothed bottom surface 221, a seating groove 222, a first inclined surface 223, and a guide surface 224. The toothed bottom surface 221 faces downward and has a second inclined surface 2211, a third inclined surface 2212, and a fourth inclined surface 2213 connected in sequence. The second inclined surface 2211 and the third inclined surface 2212 together form a tooth tip, and the third inclined surface 2212 and the fourth inclined surface 2213 together form a tooth bottom. The opening of the seating groove 222 faces away from the toothed bottom surface 221, i.e., upward. The seating groove 222 has a fifth inclined surface 2221 and a transition surface 2222, which connects the fifth inclined surface 2221 and the first inclined surface 223. The first inclined surface 223 faces away from the toothed bottom surface 221 and upward. The guide surface 224 is located below the toothed bottom surface 221 and is further away from the first axis relative to the toothed bottom surface 221. In this embodiment, the guide surface 224 includes a first guide surface 2241 and a second guide surface 2242, and the first guide surface 2241 and the second guide surface 2242 are connected.

[0090] In the same ratchet section 22, the third inclined surface 2212, the fifth inclined surface 2221, the first inclined surface 223, and the first guide surface 2241 have the same inclination direction; the second inclined surface 2211, the fourth inclined surface 2213, and the second guide surface 2242 have the same inclination direction; the same inclination direction means that the extension direction of the corresponding surfaces is inclined in a certain direction, but the inclination angle is not required to be the same.

[0091] refer to Figure 5 The slider 3 is adapted to slide relative to the rotating member 2 in a first direction and in a direction toward the toothed bottom surface 221 (i.e., upward) and in a direction away from the toothed bottom surface 221 (i.e., downward).

[0092] The slider 3 has a settling portion 31 and a mating portion 32. In this embodiment, the settling portion 31 is located above the mating portion 32. The slider 3 is at least partially adapted to be inserted into the mounting hole 23 so that the settling portion 31 and the mating portion 32 engage with the ratchet portion 22, thereby concealing the settling portion 31 and the mating portion 32, or only concealing the settling portion 31, so that the engagement position of the slider 3 and the rotating member 2 is not visible, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. The number of mating portions 32 and settling portions 31 is the same as that of the ratchet portion 22, and the mating portion 32 has a toothed top surface 321. The toothed top surface 321 faces upward and is adapted to engage with the inclined surface of the toothed bottom surface 221 to drive the rotating member 2 to rotate around the first axis in the first circumferential direction and stop. The toothed top surface 321 is provided with a sixth inclined surface 3211, a seventh inclined surface 3212, an eighth inclined surface 3213, and a ninth inclined surface 3214 connected in sequence. The sixth inclined surface 3211 and the seventh inclined surface 3212 form tooth tips, the seventh inclined surface 3212 and the eighth inclined surface 3213 form tooth roots, and the eighth inclined surface 3213 and the ninth inclined surface 3214 form tooth tips. A clearance hole 33 is provided between adjacent mating parts 32, which is adapted to allow the toothed bottom surface 221 to extend into. The sitting part 31 is adapted to pass over the ratchet part 22 after passing through the slide 24 and thus be located above the ratchet part 22. The top surface of the seating portion 31 is adapted to engage with the inclined surface of the first guide surface 2241 or the second guide surface 2242 to allow the rotating member 2 to rotate about the first axis in the opposite direction of the first circumferential direction or in the first circumferential direction. The bottom of the seating portion 31 is provided with a tenth inclined surface 311.

[0093] Among them, the seventh inclined plane 3212, the ninth inclined plane 3214, and the tenth inclined plane 311 have the same inclination direction; the sixth inclined plane 3211 and the eighth inclined plane 3213 have the same inclination direction; the tenth inclined plane 311 cooperates with the fifth inclined plane 2221 and the first inclined plane 223 to drive the rotating member 2 to rotate along the first circumferential direction; the sixth inclined plane 3211 and the eighth inclined plane 3213 are adapted to cooperate with the second inclined plane 2211 and the fourth inclined plane 2213 to drive the rotating member 2 to rotate along the first circumferential direction; the seventh inclined plane 3212 and the ninth inclined plane 3214 are adapted to abut against the third inclined plane 2212 to stop the rotating member 2. The two inclined surfaces that fit together have the same inclination angle to achieve surface contact. Specifically, the inclination angles of the tenth inclined surface 311, the fifth inclined surface 2221, and the first inclined surface 223 are the same; the inclination angles of the sixth inclined surface 3211, the eighth inclined surface 3213, the second inclined surface 2211, and the fourth inclined surface 2213 are the same; and the inclination angles of the seventh inclined surface 3212, the ninth inclined surface 3214, and the third inclined surface 2212 are the same. Surface-to-surface contact is more stable and causes less wear compared to line-to-surface contact.

[0094] refer to Figure 6 The elastic element 4 assists the slider 3 in sliding downwards. Compared to the gravity of the slider 3, the elastic element 4 provides greater stability and versatility in various applications. The two ends of the elastic element 4 abut against the body 1 and the slider 3 respectively along the first direction, applying a force to the slider 3 to move it away from the toothed bottom surface 221. (Reference) Figure 3 , Figure 6 The elastic element 4 includes a spring 42 and a spring seat 43. The spring 42 is partially placed in a groove in the spring seat 43, with one end of the spring 42 abutting against the body 1 and the other end abutting against the spring seat 43. The spring seat 43 has a limiting surface 41 facing the slider 3, i.e., downward. The limiting surface 41 is adapted to abut against the body 1 to prevent it from dislodging from the body 1 when the slider 3 is not present. In other embodiments, the elastic element 4 may consist only of the spring 42, with the end face of the spring 42 facing the slider 3 forming the limiting surface 41. The limiting surface 41 is adapted to abut against the slider 3, and when the slider 3 is assembled with the rotating element 2, the limiting surface 41 is allowed to disengage from the body 1.

[0095] During installation and use, first install the elastic element 4 and the rotating element 2 onto the main body 1. When assembling the sliding element 3 and the rotating element 2, there are two scenarios: one is that the sitting part 31 corresponds to the slide rail 24. In this case, the user can push the sliding element 3 upwards to make the sitting part 31 pass over the ratchet part 22, as shown below. Figure 7 As shown. Reference Figure 15Another configuration involves a mounting portion 31 that does not correspond to the slide rail 24. In this case, the mounting portion 31 corresponds to the guide surface 224. When the user pushes the slider 3 upwards, the mounting portion 31 slides upwards and abuts against the first guide surface 2241. Due to the inclined surface engagement, the rotating member 2 will rotate in the opposite direction of the first circumferential direction. If the mounting portion 31 slides upwards and abuts against the second guide surface 2242, the rotating member 2 will rotate in the first circumferential direction. Both configurations ensure that the mounting portion 31 aligns with the slide rail 24 after the rotating member 2 rotates, allowing the mounting portion 31 to pass over the ratchet portion 22. At this point, the elastic member 4 is compressed. By using the guide surface 224, the user can assemble the device without aligning it with the slide rail 24, making the process more convenient and efficient.

[0096] refer to Figure 8 When the seat portion 31 passes the ratchet portion 22, the toothed top surface 321 is adapted to engage with the inclined surface of the toothed bottom surface 221 to drive the rotating member 2 to rotate around the first axis in the first circumferential direction and stop. Specifically, the sixth inclined surface 3211 abuts against the second inclined surface 2211, and the eighth inclined surface 3213 abuts against the fourth inclined surface 2213, thereby causing the rotating member 2 to rotate in the first circumferential direction. (See reference) Figure 9 When the seventh inclined plane 3212 abuts against the third inclined plane 2212, the tooth tip and tooth root match, and the rotating part 2 can no longer rotate, thus stopping the rotating part 2. At this time, the sitting part 31 corresponds to the sitting groove 222.

[0097] refer to Figure 10 When the user releases the upward pushing force, the elastic element 4 returns to its original position and applies a downward force to the sliding element 3. The seated part 31 of the sliding element 3 falls downward into the seated groove 222, and the toothed top surface 321 and the toothed bottom surface 221 disengage, thereby allowing the subsequent rotation of the rotating element 2.

[0098] refer to Figure 10 , Figure 11 Under the action of the elastic element 4, the sitting part 31 is adapted to engage with the inclined surface of the bottom of the sitting groove 222 when it is located at the bottom of the sitting groove 222, so as to drive the rotating part 2 to continue to rotate around the first axis in the first circumferential direction and stop. Specifically, the tenth inclined surface 311 engages with the fifth inclined surface 2221, so that the rotating part 2 rotates around the first circumferential direction until the sitting part 31 abuts against the transition surface 2222, the rotating part 2 stops rotating, and the rotating part 2 stops. At this time, the toothed top surface 321 is again adapted to engage with the inclined surface of the toothed bottom surface 221. After this step is completed, the sitting part 31 is supported by the sitting groove 222, and the sliding part 3 cannot detach downward from the rotating part 2, thus completing the assembly of the sliding part 3 and the rotating part 2.

[0099] During disassembly, refer to Figure 12The user applies upward force to the slider 3, causing it to slide upward so that the sitting part 31 disengages from the sitting groove 222 along the transition surface 2222. The sitting part 31 is positioned above the ratchet part 22, allowing the rotating part 2 to rotate along the first circumferential direction. At this time, the elastic member 4 is compressed. The toothed top surface 321 re-engages with the inclined surface of the toothed bottom surface 221 to drive the rotating part 2 to continue rotating around the first axis along the first circumferential direction and stop. Specifically, the same ratchet part 22 abuts against two mating parts 32. The eighth inclined surface 3213 of one mating part 32 abuts against the second inclined surface 2211, and the sixth inclined surface 3211 of the other mating part 32 abuts against the fourth inclined surface 2213, causing the rotating part 2 to rotate around the first circumferential direction. (See reference...) Figure 13 The stop is completed when the third inclined surface 2212 and the ninth inclined surface 3214 come into contact. At this time, parts of the third inclined surface 2212 and the fourth inclined surface 2213 fall into the clearance hole 33, and the sitting part 31 corresponds to the first inclined surface 223.

[0100] refer to Figure 14 When the force on the sliding member 3 is released, the sliding member 3 falls under the action of the elastic member 4, causing the tenth inclined surface 311 of the sitting part 31 to engage with the first inclined surface 223, thereby causing the rotating member 2 to rotate around the first circumference. When the sitting part 31 completely disengages from the first inclined surface 223, the sitting part 31 aligns with the slide rail 24. Under the action of the elastic member 4, the sitting part 31 slides downward and passes through the slide rail 24, thereby achieving disassembly. During installation and disassembly, the user only needs to apply upward force to the sliding member 3 and then release it for automatic assembly and disassembly, which is simple and convenient.

[0101] The seat portion 31 only begins to rotate after it passes the ratchet portion 22, thus preventing interference between the ratchet portion 22 and the seat portion 31 during the rotation of the rotating member 2, which would prevent it from rotating. The seat portion 31 can only fall into the seat groove 222 after it has passed the ratchet portion 22. The rotating member 2 and the body 1 are mutually restrained along the first direction, preventing the rotating member 2 from being driven to move by the sliding member 3 and thus preventing it from rotating under the action of the sliding member 3. This also ensures that the rotating member 2 is supported by the body 1.

[0102] The multiple sets of ratchet parts 22 and mating parts 32 increase the contact area, making the rotating part 2 easier to rotate. The multiple sets of ratchet parts 22 and sitting parts 31 increase the support area, making the sliding part 3 more stable when supported by the rotating part 2.

[0103] If the slider 3 is continuously provided with inclined surfaces to cooperate with the toothed bottom surface 221 to prevent interference, it will make the processing of the slider 3 more complicated and increase the material cost. In this embodiment, a relief hole 33 is provided between adjacent mating parts 32. The relief hole 33 is suitable for the toothed bottom surface 221 to extend into, thereby preventing the toothed bottom surface 221 from interfering with the slider 3 when rotating and reducing the processing cost.

[0104] Of course, in other embodiments, the slider 3 may be provided with only one mating part 32, and the mating part 32 may be continuously provided with inclined surfaces to cooperate with the toothed bottom surface 221 to prevent interference.

[0105] In this embodiment, when manufacturing the sliding member 3 with the mating part 32 and the sitting part 31, a mold is used for forming. The position of the relief hole 33 corresponds to the position of the sitting part 31 along the first direction, and the size of the relief hole 33 is greater than or equal to that of the sitting part 31. This allows the core extending upward along the first direction in the mold to form the relief hole 33 while simultaneously forming the bottom surface of the sitting part 31. Similarly, the sitting part 31 is provided between each mating part 32, so that there is no interference when forming the top surface of the mating part 32. This allows the core extending downward along the first direction in the mold to form the toothed top surface 321.

[0106] In other embodiments, the elastic element 4 may be omitted, and the sliding element 3 may slide downwards under its own gravity.

[0107] In other embodiments, during disassembly, the user can rotate the slider 3 to allow the seated portion 31 to detach from the seated groove 222 along the bottom of the groove, and then apply downward force to the slider 3 to detach it from the rotating member 2. This provides more diverse and convenient disassembly methods.

[0108] Example 2:

[0109] A water outlet assembly includes the aforementioned connecting component and sealing ring 5.

[0110] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 The main body 1 is also provided with a plug-in part 13, and the plug-in part 13 is provided with a water inlet 131.

[0111] The sliding member 3 is also provided with a water outlet 34, a socket 35 and a receiving cavity 36. The socket 35 extends along the first direction and communicates with the water outlet 34. A sealing ring 5 is provided on the wall of the socket 35.

[0112] The receiving cavity 36 is suitable for accommodating bath bombs, thereby enhancing the user's bathing experience.

[0113] The sliding member 3 is also sealed and inserted into the body 1 along the first direction. Specifically, the sealing ring 5 is installed on the wall of the insertion hole 35, and the insertion part 13 is adapted to insert into the insertion hole 35 and abut against the sealing ring 5 to achieve a seal. After insertion, the water inlet 131, insertion hole 35, accommodating cavity 36 and water outlet 34 are connected in sequence to achieve water output. The water outlet 34 can prevent large residues of the bath ball from flowing out, thus playing a filtering role and making it convenient for users.

[0114] When the sliding member 3 slides upward, it is sealed and inserted into the body 1, achieving a water channel fit between the sliding member 3 and the body 1. The assembly of the sliding member 3 and the rotating member 2 is also achieved by sliding upward, which is simple and convenient. Since the sliding member 3 is assembled with the body 1 by insertion, and it slides in the first direction during disassembly, it does not rotate relative to the body 1. During use, it will not slide or rotate relative to the body 1. Therefore, when the above sealing method is used, the wear on the sealing ring 5 is small during the assembly, disassembly, and use of the sliding member 3, which can increase the life of the sealing ring 5.

[0115] Example 3:

[0116] refer to Figure 16 A water outlet device includes a water outlet body 6 and a water outlet assembly as described above. The water outlet body 6 has an internal water passage. The main body 1 is fixedly connected to the water outlet body 6, and the water inlet 131 is connected to the internal water passage of the water outlet body 6. The water outlet body 6 can be a faucet seat, which can be fixed to the bathtub to use a bath sponge. The main body 1 and the water outlet body 6 can be fixedly connected by screws or other methods.

[0117] Of course, the water outlet 6 can also be a water pipe or other components.
