Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the main body component 20 in some embodiments of the present application.
[0047] Some embodiments of the present application provide a quick-release showerhead device 100, comprising a water outlet assembly 10 and a body assembly 20. The water outlet assembly 10 comprises a body 11, a filter element mounting member 12 and an unlocking member 13, the filter element mounting member 12 is used to mount a filter element 60, the body 11 and the filter element mounting member 12 are arranged along the axial direction of the water outlet assembly 10 and the internal channels of the two are connected, the unlocking member 13 is movably matched with the filter element mounting member 12 and a part of the unlocking member 13 is located outside the body 11. The body assembly 20 comprises a body 21 and a locking member 22, the body 21 has a water flow channel 211 inside, the locking member 22 is arranged inside the body 21, and a first opening 210 is formed at one end of the body 21 along the axial direction of the water outlet assembly 10, the first opening 210 is connected to the water flow channel 211, and the first opening 210 is for the water outlet assembly 10 to be inserted so that the filter element 60 is in the water flow channel 211.
[0048] Among them, the locking member 22 is configured to lock the filter element mounting member 12 when the water outlet component 10 is inserted into the water flow channel 211, and the unlocking member 13 is configured to release the lock of the locking member 22 by applying force to the portion of the unlocking member 13 exposed to the outside, so as to allow the water outlet component 10 to withdraw from the main body component 20.
[0049] The main body component 20 can be the outer shell of the shower quick-release device 100, see 4, the main body 21 is a shell structure, and has a water flow channel 211 inside. A water inlet pipe 23 can be set at the top of the main body 21, and water in the water inlet pipe 23 can flow into the water flow channel 211.
[0050] The water outlet assembly 10 is a structural component for discharging water. During normal use, the water outlet assembly 10 and the main body assembly 20 are assembled with each other, and the filter element 60 is in the water flow channel 211. The water in the water flow channel 211 is filtered by the filter element 60 and enters the internal cavity of the water outlet assembly 10, and is sprayed out from the water outlet hole 111 of the water outlet assembly 10.
[0051] See also Figure 2 The water outlet assembly 10 includes a main body 11, a filter element mounting member 12 and an unlocking member 13. The main body 11 may be the main structure of the water outlet assembly 10 for water outlet. The main body 11 may include a rear cover 11a and a mask 11b. The mask 11b is disposed on the bottom surface of the rear cover 11a, and the mask 11b is formed with a plurality of water outlet holes 111. The rear cover 11a is assembled with the filter element mounting member 12, and the connection relationship between the two includes but is not limited to welding, threaded connection, etc. The filter element mounting member 12 is used to install the filter element 60. The channel inside the filter element mounting member 12 allows the water filtered by the filter element 60 to enter the rear cover 11a and be sprayed out from the water outlet holes 111. Please refer to Figure 2 The top surface of the rear cover 11 a is provided with a plurality of water inlet holes 112 , and the channel inside the filter element mounting member 12 enters the interior of the rear cover 11 a through the plurality of water inlet holes 112 .
[0052] The locking member 22 is a structural member disposed inside the body 21, and is used to lock the filter element mounting member 12 inserted into the water flow channel 211, so as to restrict the water outlet assembly 10 from being removed from the body assembly 20. The first opening 210 is provided for the insertion of the filter element mounting member 12, and the locking member 22 is disposed at the first opening 210, and can change the radial dimension of the first opening 210, thereby allowing the filter element mounting member 12 to be inserted or withdrawn, or restricting the withdrawal of the filter element mounting member 12.
[0053] The unlocking member 13 is a structural member that is linked to the locking member 22. The unlocking member 13 is exposed outside the entire device, or exposed to the outer surface of the device, so that it can be touched, pressed, pulled, rotated, etc. by the user, thereby changing the state of the locking member 22 to release the lock of the locking member 22 on the filter element mounting member 12.
[0054] In the above scheme, when the filter element 60 needs to be installed in the water flow channel 211 in the main body assembly 20, the filter element 60 can be first installed on the filter element mounting member 12 of the water outlet assembly 10, and then the entire water outlet assembly 10 is inserted into the main body 21 through the first opening 210, so that the locking member 22 locks the filter element mounting member 12 so that the main body assembly 20 and the water outlet assembly 10 are connected to each other, so that the shower head can be used normally; when the filter element 60 needs to be replaced, force can be applied to the exposed portion of the unlocking member 13 to contact the locking member 22 on the filter element mounting member 12, so that the water outlet assembly 10 can be withdrawn from the main body assembly 20, and the filter element 60 can be quickly replaced.
[0055] In this regard, the shower head quick-release device 100 provided in some embodiments of the present application can realize the rapid assembly and disassembly of the water outlet component 10 and the body component 20 through the locking cooperation of the locking member 22 and the filter element mounting member 12, and the function of the unlocking member 13 partially exposed to the outside, thereby facilitating consumers to install and disassemble the shower head and quickly replace the filter element 60.
[0056] According to some embodiments of this application, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The locking member 22 includes a first elastic portion 220 and a sliding pin 221. The sliding pin 221 is movably connected to the inner wall of the body 21 along the radial direction of the water outlet assembly 10. The first elastic portion 220 is disposed between the sliding pin 221 and the inner wall of the body 21, and the sliding pin 221 has a tendency to move along the radial direction of the water outlet assembly 10. The sliding pin 221 is used to abut against the filter element mounting member 12 to limit the water outlet assembly 10 from withdrawing from the body assembly 20, and the unlocking member 13 is used to compress the first elastic portion 220 to cause the sliding pin 221 to move.
[0057] The sliding pin 221 is a structural member for abutting against the filter element mounting member 12 . A sliding rail may be provided on the inner wall of the body 21 . The sliding pin 221 may be provided in the sliding rail and connected to the inner wall of the body 21 through the first elastic portion 220 .
[0058] The first elastic part 220 can be a spring or other elastic structure. When the first elastic part 220 is in a natural state, the sliding pin 221 can protrude from the slide rail, so that it can abut against the side of the filter element mounting part 12 away from the water inlet pipe 23, for example, abut against the bottom surface of the filter element mounting part 12, thereby achieving axial locking of the filter element mounting part 12. When the water outlet device needs to be disassembled, the sliding pin 221 is retracted into the slide rail by compressing the first elastic part 220 to expand the diameter of the first opening 210.
[0059] Optionally, there are various ways to compress the first elastic part 220, including pulling the first elastic part 220 by a pulling rod, pulling the first elastic part 220 by electromagnetic adsorption, or using other structural parts to push the sliding pin 221 to compress the first elastic part 220.
[0060] In the above scheme, the locking member 22 includes a first elastic portion 220 and a sliding pin 221. The sliding pin 221 can move radially along the water outlet component 10 under the action of the first elastic portion 220 and external force, thereby changing the insertion size of the first opening 210 to realize the insertion of the filter element mounting member 12 or to realize the abutment of the filter element mounting member 12, thereby realizing the locking assembly of the water outlet component 10, or allowing the water outlet component 10 to withdraw from the main body component 20.
[0061] According to some embodiments of this application, see Figure 2 The filter element mounting member 12 includes a base 120 and a flange 121 protruding from the outer periphery of the base 120. The base 120 has a chamber inside. The base 120 has a second opening 1200 formed on a side away from the main body 11. The second opening 1200 communicates with the chamber and is used for inserting the filter element 60. The flange 121 is used to abut against the sliding pin 221.
[0062] The base 120 is the main structure of the filter element mounting part 12. It is cylindrical and has a second opening 1200 formed at the top. The second opening 1200 allows the filter element 60 to be inserted into the internal chamber of the base 120. The chamber of the base 120 is connected to the chamber of the rear cover 11a, so that the filtered water flows into the rear cover 11a through the interior of the base 120 and is finally sprayed out from the water outlet 111.
[0063] In some embodiments, a sealing ring is disposed on the outer periphery of the base 120 for sealingly cooperating with the inner wall of the body 21. In some embodiments, a sealing ring is disposed on the outer periphery of the filter element 60 for sealingly cooperating with the inner wall of the base 120.
[0064] The flange 121 is a protruding structural member arranged on the outer periphery of the base 120 , and is used to abut against the sliding pin 221 . Exemplarily, the bottom surface of the flange 121 abuts against the top surface of the sliding pin 221 to lock the water outlet assembly 10 to the main body assembly 20 .
[0065] In some embodiments, the flange 121 is located at the bottom end of the base 120 .
[0066] In the above scheme, by setting a flange 121 on the outer periphery of the base 120, the flange 121 can effectively act on the locking member 22, and can push the locking member 22 to compress the first elastic part 220, or can make the locking member 22 and the flange 121 abut against each other, so that the assembly state of the water outlet component 10 and the main body component 20 is stable and the reliability of use is high.
[0067] According to some embodiments of this application, see Figure 2 The flange 121 is disposed around the outer periphery of the base 120 along the circumference of the base 120. There are multiple locking members 22, and the multiple locking members 22 are disposed at intervals along the circumference of the base 120.
[0068] The flange 121 is an annular structure, which is arranged around the outer circumference of the base 120 .
[0069] The number of the locking members 22 may be multiple, for example, two, three, four or more. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The number of the locking members 22 is two, and the two locking members 22 are symmetrically arranged.
[0070] In the above solution, by providing a plurality of locking members 22, the annular flange 121 can be effectively matched with each other, thereby facilitating the locking members 22 to lock the filter element mounting member 12, thereby making the shower device structure stable and reliable to use.
[0071] According to some embodiments of the present application, see Figure 2 Along the axial direction of the water outlet assembly 10, a first inclined surface 122 is formed on the side of the flange 121 away from the main body 11. Figure 4 A second inclined surface 222 is formed on the side of the sliding pin 221 facing the opening, and the first inclined surface 122 and the second inclined surface 222 cooperate with each other so that when the filter element mounting part 12 is inserted into the water flow channel, the sliding pin 221 is pushed to move radially along the water outlet assembly 10 and compress the first elastic part 220.
[0072] The second inclined surface 222 is formed at the bottom end of the sliding pin 221, and the first inclined surface 122 is formed at the top end of the flange 121, and is used to cooperate with the second inclined surface 222, so that when the flange 121 is inserted upward into the water flow channel 211, the sliding pin 221 can be pushed to move radially by the second inclined surface 222, thereby compressing the first elastic part 220. The bottom end of the flange 121 is used to abut against the top end of the sliding pin 221.
[0073] In the above scheme, by setting the first inclined surface 122 and the second inclined surface 222 that cooperate with each other, it is possible to facilitate the filter element mounting member 12 to push the sliding pin 221 to compress the first elastic portion 220 during the process of inserting the filter element mounting member 12 into the water flow channel 211, so as to allow the water outlet component 10 to be inserted into place relative to the main body component 20 and make the sliding pin 221 and the bottom surface of the flange 121 abut against each other, thereby realizing the assembly of the water outlet component 10 and the main body component 20.
[0074] According to some embodiments of this application, see Figure 2 The unlocking member 13 includes a button sliding portion 130, an execution portion 131 and a second elastic portion 132. The button sliding portion 130 is slidably connected to the filter element mounting member 12 along the axial direction of the water outlet assembly 10. The second elastic portion 132 is disposed between the button sliding portion 130 and the filter element mounting member 12 so that the button sliding portion 130 has a tendency to move away from the filter element mounting member 12. The button sliding portion 130 is formed with a pushing inclined surface 133 that cooperates with the second inclined surface 222. A portion of the execution portion 131 is located outside the main body 11, and another portion of the execution portion 131 is connected to the button sliding portion 130. The execution portion 131 is used to drive the button sliding portion 130 to move so as to push the sliding pin 221 to move along the radial direction of the water outlet assembly 10 and compress the first elastic portion 220.
[0075] The button sliding part 130 is slidably matched with the filter element mounting part 12, and the two can slide relative to each other along the axial direction of the water outlet assembly 10. Optionally, the button sliding part 130 can be arranged around the filter element mounting part 12, a sliding hole is formed in the middle of the button sliding part 130, and the filter element mounting part 12 is penetrated in the slider 1310. The push inclined surface of the button sliding part 130 has the same function as the first inclined surface 122, and is used to cooperate with the second inclined surface 222, so as to push the sliding pin 221 to move outward.
[0076] The execution part 131 is a component linked with the button sliding part 130 and is used to drive the button sliding part 130 to slide relative to the filter element mounting part 12 , so that the button sliding part 130 can push the sliding pin 221 to move to compress the first elastic part 220 .
[0077] The second elastic part 132 is an elastic structure disposed between the button sliding part 130 and the filter element mounting part 12, which can be a spring or other elastic structural part. The second elastic part 132 is used to keep the button sliding part 130 and the filter element mounting part 12 in a certain position to meet the reset requirement of the button sliding part 130.
[0078] In the above solution, the unlocking member 13 includes a button sliding portion 130, an execution portion 131 and a second elastic portion 132. When the water outlet assembly 10 needs to be disassembled, force can be applied to the execution portion 131 so that the button sliding portion 130 slides upward relative to the filter element mounting member 12, thereby pushing the locking member 22 to move to compress the first elastic portion 220, expand the caliber of the first opening 210 to allow the filter element 60 mounting portion to exit from the first opening 210, and after the filter element 60 mounting portion exits the water outlet assembly 10, the button sliding portion 130 can be reset under the action of the second elastic portion 132.
[0079] According to some embodiments of the present application, along the axial direction of the water outlet assembly 10, the main body 11 has a bottom surface on a side away from the main body assembly 20, and the bottom surface is formed with a through hole 30. The button sliding portion 130 and the execution portion 131 are arranged along the axial direction of the water outlet assembly 10, and the execution portion 131 is located in the through hole 30.
[0080] The part of the execution unit 131 that is exposed to the outside and can be touched by the user may be referred to as an unlocking button 1311 .
[0081] In the above solution, a perforation 30 is provided on the bottom surface of the main body 11 to expose the actuator 131 to the outside, so that the consumer can disassemble the water outlet assembly 10 by pressing the actuator 131 upward from the bottom of the main body 11 to facilitate replacement of the filter element 60.
[0082] Among them, some of the above embodiments provide a specific solution for disassembling the water outlet assembly 10 by pressing the execution part 131 upward from the bottom of the water outlet assembly 10, and based on this solution, an installation process and a disassembly process of a shower quick-release device 100 are provided.
[0083] The installation process is as follows, see Figure 5-Figure 8 , Figure 5-Figure 8 Schematic diagram of the installation process of the shower quick-release device 100 in some embodiments of the present application.
[0084] The shower head can quickly install the filter element 60 by quickly installing the water outlet assembly 10. Insert the filter element 60 into the water outlet assembly 10, and then insert the water outlet assembly 10 into the body assembly 20 and push it upward. At this time, the first inclined surface 122 (the inclined surface of the filter element mounting member 12) will contact the second inclined surface 222 (the inclined surface of the sliding pin 221), and squeeze the sliding pin 221 to move outward, as shown in FIG. Figure 5When the water outlet assembly 10 is pushed upward, the side of the flange 121 of the filter element mounting member 12 will press against the side of the sliding pin 221, so that the sliding pin 221 cannot move inward, so that the water outlet assembly 10 can continue to be pushed upward. Figure 6 When the water outlet assembly 10 is pushed upward to a predetermined position, the side of the flange 121 of the filter element mounting member 12 and the side of the sliding pin 221 are not in contact, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 When the side of the flange 121 of the filter element mounting member 12 is not in contact with the side of the sliding pin 221, the sliding pin 221 will be pushed inward by the elastic force of the first elastic portion 220, and the top surface of the sliding pin 221 will press against the bottom surface of the flange 121 of the filter element mounting member 12, thereby achieving the fixation of the water outlet assembly 10 and the filter element 60, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 shown.
[0085] The disassembly process is as follows, see Figure 9-13 , Figure 9-13 Schematic diagram of the disassembly process of the shower quick-release device 100 in some embodiments of the present application.
[0086] When the filter element 60 needs to be replaced, the unlocking button 1311 is pushed upward, and the pushing inclined surface of the pushing portion contacts the second inclined surface 222 (the inclined surface of the sliding pin 221), and squeezes the sliding pin 221 to move outward. Fig. 9 As shown. The unlock button 1311 is pushed upward, and the actuator 131 continues to press the sliding pin 221 to move outward. Fig.10 When the actuator 131 is pushed upward to the moving position, the side of the button sliding portion 130 will press against the side of the sliding pin 221, so that the sliding pin 221 cannot move inward, and the top surface of the sliding pin 221 does not contact the bottom surface of the filter element mounting member 12. Fig.11 At this time, the water outlet assembly 10 can be pulled downward. When the water outlet assembly 10 moves a certain distance, the side of the filter element mounting member 12 will press against the side of the sliding pin 221, so that the sliding pin 221 cannot move inward. The water outlet assembly 10 can continue to be pulled downward until the water outlet assembly 10 is completely pulled out, so as to realize the rapid disassembly of the water outlet assembly 10 and the rapid replacement of the filter element 60. Fig.12 When the water outlet assembly 10 is completely pulled out, the sliding pin 221 moves inward to the original position under the elastic force of the first elastic portion 220, as shown in FIG. Fig.13 shown.
[0087] According to some embodiments of this application, see Fig.14 , Fig.14 Schematic diagram of the internal structure of the shower quick-release device 100 in other embodiments of the present application.
[0088] The outer peripheral surface of the main body 11 is formed with a through hole 30. The actuator 131 is located on the side of the button sliding part 130 along the radial direction of the water outlet assembly 10, and the actuator 131 is slidably arranged in the through hole 30. A third inclined surface 40 is formed on the side of the actuator 131 facing the button sliding part 130, and a fourth inclined surface 41 is formed on the button sliding part 130. The third inclined surface 40 and the fourth inclined surface 41 cooperate with each other to drive the button sliding part 130 to move along the axial direction of the water outlet assembly 10.
[0089] The execution part 131 may include an unlocking button 1311 and a slider 1310. The slider 1310 is slidably disposed in the perforation 30. The unlocking button 1311 is exposed outside the perforation 30. The unlocking button 1311 is used to push the slider 1310 to slide along the perforation 30 so that the third inclined surface 40 of the slider 1310 abuts against the fourth inclined surface 41 of the button sliding part 130.
[0090] In the above scheme, a perforation 30 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the main body 11 so that the actuator 131 can be exposed to the outer peripheral side of the main body 11, so that the consumer can press the actuator 131 horizontally from the side of the main body 11 to disassemble the water outlet assembly 10 for replacing the filter element 60.
[0091] Among them, some of the above embodiments provide a specific solution for unlocking the water outlet assembly 10 from the side. The installation process of this solution is consistent with the above description. The difference in its disassembly process is that the actuator 131 is pressed sideways. Specifically, when the unlocking button 1311 is on the side, when the water outlet assembly 10 needs to be disassembled, the actuator 131 is pressed, and the actuator 131 moves forward, pushing the slider 1310 to move forward. At this time, the third inclined surface 40 (the inclined surface of the slider 1310) and the fourth inclined surface 41 (the inclined surface of the button sliding part 130) contact each other. When the slider 1310 continues to move forward, the third inclined surface 40 (the inclined surface of the slider 1310) will squeeze the button sliding part 130 to move upward, thereby achieving the above Fig. 9 , Fig.10 , Fig.11 and Fig.12 movement process, such as Fig.13 shown.
[0092] According to some embodiments of this application, see Fig.15 , Fig.15 Schematic diagram of the internal structure of the shower quick-release device 100 in other embodiments of the present application.
[0093] A slide groove 110 is formed inside the main body 11, and the slide groove 110 extends radially along the water outlet component 10. The actuator 131 includes a slider 1310 and an unlocking button 1311. The slider 1310 is slidably arranged in the slide groove 110. A third inclined surface 40 is formed on the side of the slider 1310 facing the button sliding part 130, and a fourth inclined surface 41 is formed on the button sliding part 130. The third inclined surface 40 and the fourth inclined surface 41 cooperate with each other. The unlocking button 1311 is rotatably connected to the main body 21 and is located at the end of the main body 11 facing the main body 21. The unlocking button 1311 is used to push the slider 1310 to slide radially along the water outlet component 10 to drive the button sliding part 130 to move axially along the water outlet component 10.
[0094] In the above scheme, by providing a rotatable unlocking button 1311 and a slidable slider 1310, the consumer can press the button on the top of the water outlet component 10 to rotate the button to push the slider 1310 to slide, so that the button sliding part 130 pushes the locking part 22 to move, so that the water outlet component 10 can be pulled out of the main body component 20.
[0095] Among them, some of the above embodiments provide a specific solution for unlocking by pressing the button of the top rotating shaft 14 of the water outlet assembly 10. The installation process of this solution is consistent with the above description. The difference in the disassembly process is that the top rotating shaft 14 button realizes unlocking. Specifically, when the unlocking button 1311 is located at the top of the water outlet assembly 10 and is connected to the back cover 11a or the body 21 through the rotating shaft 14. When the water outlet assembly 10 needs to be disassembled, the rotating shaft 14 button is pressed. At this time, the rotating shaft 14 button makes a circular motion along the rotating shaft 14. The side of the rotating shaft 14 button contacts the side of the slider 1310 and pushes the slider 1310 to move forward. At this time, the third inclined surface 40 (the inclined surface of the slider 1310) and the fourth inclined surface 41 (the inclined surface of the button sliding part 130) contact each other. When the slider 1310 continues to move forward, the third inclined surface 40 (the inclined surface of the slider 1310) will squeeze the button sliding part 130 to move upward, thereby achieving the above Fig. 9 , Fig.10 , Fig.11 and Fig.12 movement process, such as Fig.15 shown.
[0096] According to some embodiments of this application, see Fig.16 , Fig.16 Schematic diagram of the internal structure of the shower quick-release device 100 in other embodiments of the present application.
[0097] A slide groove 110 is formed inside the main body 11, and the slide groove 110 extends radially along the water outlet component 10. The execution part 131 includes a slider 1310 and an unlocking button 1311. The slider 1310 is slidably arranged in the slide groove 110. A third inclined surface 40 is formed on the side of the slider 1310 facing the button sliding part 130. The button sliding part 130 is formed with a fourth inclined surface 41, and the third inclined surface 40 and the fourth inclined surface 41 cooperate with each other. Along the axial direction of the water outlet component 10, the unlocking button 1311 is located at one end of the main body 11 facing the main body 21, and the unlocking button 1311 can be slidably penetrated into the main body 11 to abut against the slider 1310, the unlocking button 1311 has a fifth inclined surface 42 facing the slider 1310, and the slider 1310 has a sixth inclined surface 43 facing the unlocking button 1311, and the fifth inclined surface 42 and the sixth inclined surface 43 cooperate with each other so that the unlocking button 1311 can drive the button sliding part 130 to move along the axial direction of the water outlet component 10.
[0098] In the above scheme, by providing a slidable unlocking button 1311 and a slidable slider 1310, the consumer can press the unlocking button 1311 on the top of the water outlet component 10, so that the unlocking button 1311 slides downward to push the slider 1310 to slide horizontally, so that the button sliding part 130 pushes the locking piece 22 to move, so that the water outlet component 10 can be pulled out of the main body component 20.
[0099] Among them, some of the above embodiments provide a specific solution of unlocking by pressing the button on the top of the water outlet assembly 10. The installation process of this solution is consistent with the above description. The difference in the disassembly process is that the top pressing button is used to achieve unlocking. Specifically, when the unlocking button 1311 is located at the top pressing button, when the water outlet assembly 10 needs to be disassembled, the unlocking button 1311 is pressed, and the unlocking button 1311 moves downward, and the fifth inclined surface 42 of the button contacts the sixth inclined surface 43 of the slider 1310, and pushes the slider 1310 to move forward. At this time, the third inclined surface 40 of the slider 1310 contacts the fourth inclined surface 41 of the button sliding part 130. When the slider 1310 continues to move forward, the third inclined surface 40 of the slider 1310 will squeeze the button sliding part 130 to move upward. At this time, the pushing inclined surface 133 will contact the second inclined surface 222 of the sliding pin 221, and squeeze the sliding pin 221 to move outward. The button sliding part 130 is pushed upward continuously, and the button sliding part 130 will continue to squeeze the sliding pin 221 to move outward. When the button sliding part 130 is pushed upward to the moving position, the side of the button sliding part 130 will press against the side of the sliding pin 221, so that the sliding pin 221 cannot move inward, and the top surface of the sliding pin 221 does not contact the bottom surface of the filter element mounting part 12. At this time, the water outlet assembly 10 can be pulled downward, and when the water outlet assembly 10 moves a certain stroke, the side of the filter element mounting part 12 will press against the side of the sliding pin 221, so that the sliding pin 221 cannot move inward, and the water outlet assembly 10 can continue to be pulled downward until the water outlet assembly 10 is completely pulled out, so as to realize the rapid disassembly of the water outlet assembly 10 and the rapid replacement of the filter element 60.
