[0028] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0029] like Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the multifunctional water gun of the present invention mainly comprises a gun body 1 and a nozzle assembly 2. A main channel 11 is provided inside the gun body 1 for conveying water to the nozzle assembly 2. A main switch 12 is also provided on the gun body 1 for controlling the on and off of the main channel 11, thereby controlling the on and off of the water flow. The nozzle assembly 2 is mounted at the front end of the gun body 1 through a rotating connection structure and can rotate relative to the gun body 1.

[0030] The core part of the nozzle assembly 2 includes a nozzle body 21 and a plurality of water outlet nozzle assemblies 22. The nozzle body 21 is composed of a turntable 211 and an end cover 212. The plurality of water outlet nozzle assemblies 22 are arranged between the turntable 211 and the end cover 212. The end cover 212 is provided with a plurality of water spray ports 2121, each of which corresponds to a water outlet nozzle assembly 22 and has different shapes so as to form different water spray shapes. By rotating the nozzle body 21, different water outlet nozzle assemblies 22 can be docked with the main channel 11 in the gun body 1, thereby realizing the function of switching different water spray shapes.

[0031] The innovation of the multifunctional water gun of the present invention lies in the diversified design of its water outlet assembly 22 and the fine control of the shape and direction of the water spray. Specifically, the water outlet assembly 22 includes at least two different types of water spray assemblies: a fan-shaped water spray assembly 23 and an umbrella-shaped water spray assembly 24, which are used to generate fan-shaped water spray and umbrella-shaped (conical) water spray, respectively, thereby significantly increasing the versatility of the water gun.

[0032] The fan-shaped water spray assembly 23 includes a fan-shaped nozzle, which can generate fan-shaped water spray. More importantly, the fan-shaped water spray assembly 23 is also equipped with a first adjustment structure. The adjustment structure can finely adjust the rotation angle of the fan-shaped nozzle, thereby realizing the control of the spray direction of the fan-shaped water spray without changing the direction of the entire water gun, which greatly improves the flexibility of use.

[0033] The umbrella-shaped water spray assembly 24 includes a bullet-shaped nozzle, which can spray umbrella-shaped water spray. In addition, the umbrella-shaped water spray assembly 24 is also equipped with a second adjustment structure. The adjustment structure can fine-tune the water spray parameters of the bullet-shaped nozzle, for example, by changing the opening of the nozzle, thereby controlling the size of the umbrella-shaped water spray to meet the user's needs for different spraying intensities.

[0034] Through the above-mentioned structural design, the multifunctional water gun of the present invention can not only provide a variety of preset water splash shapes, but also flexibly adjust the shape of the water splash (such as the size of the umbrella-shaped water splash) and direction (such as the spray angle of the fan-shaped water splash), so as to better meet the personalized needs of users in various application scenarios.

[0035] The fan-shaped nozzle is designed to control the direction of the fan-shaped water spray and facilitate operation. Its specific structure is as follows:

[0036] First, the core component of the fan-shaped nozzle is the first nozzle 231, which is rotatably connected to the nozzle body 21 and can rotate around the axis in the front-back direction. The front end of the first nozzle 231 is provided with a straight first nozzle 2311, from which the water flow is ejected to form a fan-shaped water spray.

[0037] In order to adjust the direction of the fan-shaped water spray, the fan-shaped nozzle is equipped with a first adjustment structure, which is mainly composed of a lever 232. The lever 232 is arranged on the side of the first nozzle 231 and extends outward so that it is exposed outside the nozzle body 21, which is convenient for users to operate. By turning the lever 232, the first nozzle 231 can be driven to rotate, thereby changing the direction of the first nozzle 2311, thereby adjusting the spray direction of the fan-shaped water spray.

[0038] In order to further optimize the shape of the fan-shaped water spray, guide slopes 2312 are provided on the front walls of both sides of the first nozzle 2311. The design of the two guide slopes 2312 makes the cross section of the first nozzle 2311 present a V shape, which can better control the diffusion angle of the water flow and make the ejected fan-shaped water spray more uniform and regular.

[0039] In order to limit the rotation range of the first nozzle 231, a dedicated limit hole 213 is provided on the nozzle body 21 for the lever 232 to pass through. The limit hole 213 limits the maximum rotation angle of the first nozzle 231. In this embodiment, the maximum rotation angle is set to 90°, which not only ensures a sufficient adjustment range of the water spray direction, but also avoids mechanical structure damage or other problems that may be caused by excessive rotation. Such a design makes the spray direction control of the fan-shaped water spray more accurate and reliable, simplifies the structural design to a certain extent, and improves the service life of the product.

[0040] The design of the bullet nozzle is to adjust the size of the umbrella-shaped water splash. Its structural design is as follows:

[0041] The core component of the bullet nozzle is the second nozzle 241 that can move forward and backward. A second nozzle 214 is provided on the nozzle body 21 at a position corresponding to the second nozzle 241. A conical surface 2411 is provided at the front end of the second nozzle 241, and the conical surface 2411 can be close to or away from the second nozzle 214, thereby changing the outlet cross-sectional area of ​​the water flow, and then adjusting the size of the umbrella-shaped water splash.

[0042] In order to achieve precise control of the second nozzle 241, the bullet nozzle is equipped with a second adjustment structure. The core component of this structure is a knob 242 that is rotatably connected to the nozzle body 21. The second nozzle 241 and the knob 242 are connected by threads, so that rotating the knob 242 can drive the second nozzle 241 to move forward and backward. The knob 242 is exposed outside the nozzle body 21, which is convenient for users to operate. By rotating the knob 242, users can easily adjust the size of the umbrella-shaped water splash.

[0043] In order to improve the adjustment feel, a damping structure is also provided between the knob 242 and the nozzle body 21. The damping structure includes a damping ring 243 provided between the knob 242 and the nozzle body 21. An elastic top pressure member 244 (preferably a spring) is provided between the damping ring 243 and the nozzle body 21, and applies an elastic top pressure toward the knob 242 to the damping ring 243. This design allows the damping to gradually decrease when rotating in the direction of a smaller splash, and to gradually increase when rotating in the direction of a larger splash, thereby providing a more comfortable adjustment experience. The design of the damping change direction in this embodiment is not a limitation, and can also be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0044] In order to provide clear adjustment feedback, the damping ring 243 is provided with a plurality of first protruding teeth 2431 on the end surface thereof in contact with the knob 242. Correspondingly, a circle of second protruding teeth 2421 is provided on the end surface of the knob 242, which can cooperate with the first protruding teeth 2431. When the knob 242 is rotated, the mutual engagement of the first protruding teeth 2431 and the second protruding teeth 2421 will produce a "click" sound feedback, allowing the user to clearly perceive the progress and current state of the adjustment.

[0045] In order to further enhance the user experience, an anti-slip cover 2422 is provided on the outer wall of the knob 242 to effectively prevent the fingers from slipping and improve the stability and accuracy of the operation.

[0046] Finally, in order to optimize the guidance and control of the water flow, a conical guide surface 2141 is further provided at the front end of the second nozzle 214, which helps to form a more uniform and stable umbrella-shaped water spray.
