Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of bathroom equipment, in particular to a water outlet device. Background Art

[0002] Some current showerheads are equipped with an air suction mechanism, which draws in air as the water flows through the showerhead and mixes it with air to create a soft, smooth water flow. However, in the prior art, the air suction mechanism, such as the air suction hole, of such air suction showerheads is typically located on the showerhead, or even on the shower handle. Once this is done, the air bubbling function of the showerhead cannot be modified. Similar water outlets can only output a single stream of air bubbling water, or require a separate water channel and outlet for non-bubbling water. This hinders the structural simplicity of the showerhead and fails to meet the diverse showering needs of users. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention proposes a water outlet device, which aims to solve the technical problem that the bubble water outlet function of the air suction shower in the prior art is fixed and cannot be changed, and cannot meet the diverse showering needs of users.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned object, a first embodiment of the present invention provides a water outlet device, comprising: a housing, the housing comprising a water inlet hole, a water passage cavity, and a water outlet hole connected in sequence;

[0005] a water outlet assembly movably disposed in the water outlet hole, wherein a first water channel and a second water channel are sequentially disposed inside the water outlet assembly along the direction of water flow, wherein the water flow cross-sectional area of ​​the first water channel gradually decreases along the direction of water flow, and at the connection point between the second water channel and the first water channel, the water flow cross-sectional area of ​​the second water channel is larger than the water flow cross-sectional area of ​​the first water channel, and a first air hole is further disposed on the peripheral wall of the water outlet assembly;

[0006] A driving assembly is rotatably disposed in the water passage chamber, and the driving assembly provides a force to the water outlet assembly to drive the water outlet assembly to move relative to the water outlet hole, wherein, during the movement of the water outlet assembly, the first air hole is connected to the outside world or is closed by the inner wall of the water outlet hole.

[0007] According to a first embodiment of the present invention, a water outlet device is provided. A drive assembly is rotatably disposed within a water passage chamber and provides a force to the water outlet assembly, thereby driving the water outlet assembly relative to the outlet port. During the water outlet assembly's movement, the first air hole continuously switches between being open and being blocked by the inner wall of the outlet port. When the first air hole is blocked by the inner wall of the outlet port, no air enters the second water channel, and the water outlet assembly therefore outputs normal shower water. When the first air hole is open, the water outlet assembly outputs sparkling water, which has a softer flow and less impact on the body than normal shower water. As the first air hole switches between opening and closing, the water outlet assembly switches between shower water and sparkling water, providing a more diverse shower feel and meeting the varying showering needs of users. This also avoids the problem of conventional air-inhaling showerheads, where similar water outlet assemblies are limited to fixed, unchangeable sparkling water. The present invention eliminates the need for separate channels and outlets for non-sparkling water. Instead, a single water outlet assembly can cyclically output both shower water and sparkling water, facilitating a simpler and more compact showerhead design.

[0052] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0053] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some specific embodiments of the present invention, a water outlet device 1000 is provided, which can be applied to bathroom showers or kitchen water use. For example, the water outlet device 1000 can be used as a component of a shower head 2000, disposed in a housing 2100 of the shower head 2000, and connected to a water inlet channel 2110 of the housing 2100. When water flows through the water outlet device 1000, the water outlet component 200 can absorb gas to form bubble water, and the driving component 300 therein can drive the water outlet component 200 to move and switch the water outlet component 200 between an air-inhaling and a non-air-inhaling state, thereby changing the bubble water discharge state of the shower head to meet the user's diverse shower needs.

[0054] refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 The water outlet device 1000 provided in an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 100 , a water outlet assembly 200 and a driving assembly 300 .

[0055] The shell 100 includes a water inlet hole 111, a water flow cavity 130 and a water outlet hole 121 which are connected in sequence. Specifically, the shell 100 can be composed of an upper shell 110 and a lower shell 120. The water inlet hole 111 is arranged in the upper shell 110, and the water outlet hole 121 is arranged in the lower shell 120. The upper shell 110 and the lower shell 120 enclose the water flow cavity 130.

[0056] The water outlet assembly 200 is movably disposed within the water outlet hole 121. A first water channel 210 and a second water channel 220 are sequentially disposed on the water outlet assembly 200, interconnected. Through the first and second water channels 210, 220, the water outlet assembly 200 connects the water chamber 130 with the outside world. Water can enter the water chamber 130 through the water inlet hole 111 and flow out through the first and second water channels 210, 220, of the water outlet assembly 200. The water flow cross-sectional area of ​​the first water channel 210 gradually decreases along the direction of water flow. At the junction of the second and first water channels 220, the water flow cross-sectional area of ​​the second water channel 220 is greater than that of the first water channel 210. A first air hole 221 is also disposed on the peripheral wall of the water outlet assembly 200, connecting the second water channel 220 with the outside world. Therefore, due to the Venturi principle, when the water flows from the first water channel 210 with a gradually decreasing water flow cross-sectional area into the second water channel 220 with a larger water flow cross-sectional area, a negative pressure is formed on one side of the second water channel 220 at the connection point, and the pressure is less than the atmospheric pressure. At this time, the external gas will enter the second water channel 220 through the first air hole 221 and mix with the water flow to form bubble water.

[0057] The driving assembly 300 is rotatably disposed in the water passage chamber 130 and provides a force to the water outlet assembly 200 to drive the water outlet assembly 200 to move relative to the water outlet hole 121. During the movement of the water outlet assembly 200, the shape of the water outlet will also shrink ( Figure 3 ) and diffusion ( Figure 4 ) and the first air hole 221 will continuously switch between the two states of being connected to the outside and being closed by the inner wall of the water outlet hole 121. When the first air hole 221 is closed by the inner wall of the water outlet hole 121 ( Figure 4 ), no gas enters the second water channel 220, so the water outlet assembly 200 outputs normal shower water. When the first air hole 221 is opened ( Figure 3 ), the water outlet assembly 200 outputs bubble water, which has a softer water flow and produces less impact on the human body than ordinary shower water. As the first air hole 221 switches between the opening and closing states, the water outlet assembly 200 switches between shower water and bubble water, making the skin feel more diverse during showering and meeting the different showering needs of users. At the same time, it also avoids the problem of some existing air-inhaling shower heads, where similar water outlet assemblies 200 can only output fixed bubble water and cannot be changed. The present invention eliminates the need to set up a separate waterway and outlet for non-bubble water. Shower water and bubble water can be circulated and output through a single water outlet assembly 200, which is conducive to the simplification and miniaturization of the shower structure.

[0058] It is understandable that the drive component can be in various forms. For example, it can be set as an electric drive component, which drives the water outlet component 200 to move after power is turned on, or it can be set as a hydraulic drive component, and the water flow enters to move the drive component 300, thereby driving the water outlet component 200 to move.

[0059] refer to Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments of the present invention, the water outlet assembly 200 includes a water outlet. A rotating shaft 240 is provided on the outer wall of the water outlet. The water outlet hole 121 is provided with an axis groove 122 for the rotating shaft 240 to be positioned therein. The rotating shaft 240 and the axis groove 122 cooperate to allow the water outlet to swing around the rotating shaft 240 within the water outlet. Therefore, when the driving assembly 300 causes the water outlet to swing, when the first air hole 221 swings to a position in contact with the inner wall of the water outlet hole 121, the first air hole 221 is closed. When the first air hole 221 leaves the contact position, the first air hole 221 is opened.

[0060] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 8In some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of water outlet holes 121 are provided on the water outlet device, and the plurality of water outlet holes 121 can be arranged in sequence along a circular trajectory. A water outlet component 200 is movably provided in each water outlet hole 121, and a first magnetic member 230 is also provided on the water outlet component 200. A plurality of second magnetic members 330 are correspondingly provided on the driving component 300, that is, the plurality of second magnetic members 330 can rotate with the rotation of the driving component 300, and the second magnetic members 330 can also be arranged in sequence along a circular trajectory. Specifically, the circular ring composed of the plurality of second magnetic members 330 is located in the circular ring composed of the first magnetic member 230, and the two circular rings are on the same horizontal plane. Thus, the first magnetic member 230 and the second magnetic member 330 are relatively arranged. In which, the surfaces relative to at least one first magnetic component 230 and at least one second magnetic component 330 have opposite magnetic properties, and the surfaces relative to at least one first magnetic component 230 and at least one second magnetic component 330 have the same magnetic properties. During the rotation of the second magnetic component 330 with the driving component 300, when the two surfaces with opposite magnetic properties are positioned relative to each other, the first magnetic component 230 is attracted to and offset toward the second magnetic component 330, and the water outlet 250 of the water outlet component 200 is offset in a direction away from the second magnetic component 330. When the two surfaces with the same magnetic properties are positioned relative to each other, the first magnetic component 230 is repelled and offset in a direction away from the second magnetic component 330, while the water outlet 250 of the water outlet component 200 is offset in a direction close to the second magnetic component 330. Taking the example of the first air hole 221 being arranged on the side of the water outlet assembly 200 facing away from the second magnetic component 330, when the water outlet 250 of the water outlet assembly 200 deviates in the direction away from the second magnetic component 330, the first air hole 221 is blocked and closed by the inner wall of the water outlet hole 121. At this time, no gas enters, and the water outlet 250 outputs ordinary shower water without mixed gas. When the water outlet 250 of the water outlet assembly 200 deviates in the direction close to the second magnetic component 330, the first air hole 221 and the inner wall of the water outlet hole 121 move away from each other, and the first air hole 221 is connected. At this time, the gas enters the second water channel 220 through the first air hole 221 and mixes with the water flow, and the water outlet 250 outputs bubble water.

[0061] In this embodiment, the first magnetic part 230 and the second magnetic part 330 can be set to drive the water outlet component 200 to swing, thereby controlling the first air hole 221 to continuously switch between the conductive and closed states as the water outlet component 200 swings, thereby continuously and automatically providing the user with a diverse shower experience.

[0062] It is understandable that the first air hole 221 can also be arranged on the side of the water outlet component 200 close to the second magnetic component 330. At this time, the principle is the same as the above embodiment. When the magnetism is the same, the first air hole 221 is closed and no air enters. When the magnetism is opposite, the first air hole 221 is open to air intake. The specific process will not be repeated here.

[0063] It is particularly pointed out here that in the contents of the subsequent embodiments, unless otherwise specified, the first air hole 221 is set on the side of the water outlet component 200 away from the second magnetic component 330 for explanation. However, it should be understood that the above examples are only for the purpose of uniformly and clearly explaining the technical solutions of the embodiments, and do not mean that the first air hole 221 can only be set on one side.

[0064] In addition, in the subsequent embodiments, in order to explain the technical solutions of the embodiments more clearly and briefly, some drawings only show different arrangement diagrams of the first magnetic member 230 and the second magnetic member 330 .

[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, the magnetic pole directions of the first magnetic members 230 and the second magnetic members 330 can be arranged in different directions to make the water output of the water outlet device 1000 more diverse:

[0066] For example, multiple first magnetic members 230 are arranged in sequence along a circular trajectory at intervals. On any two adjacent first magnetic members 230, the magnetism of the side close to the second magnetic member 330 is opposite. At this time, no matter what the magnetism of the end of the second magnetic member 330 close to the first magnetic member 230 is, as long as the second magnetic member 330 rotates with the driving component 300, it will always be opposite to the first magnetic member 230 with the same magnetism and the first magnetic member 230 with opposite magnetism in turn during the rotation process. At this time, the water outlet component 200 is driven to swing back and forth in turn, forming different water outlet shapes, and different first air holes 221 are continuously opened and closed, that is, the water outlets 250 with different swinging directions will output bubble water and shower water respectively.

[0067] For another example, a plurality of second magnetic members 330 are arranged in sequence along a circular trajectory at intervals. On any two adjacent second magnetic members 330, the magnetism of the side close to the first magnetic member 230 is opposite. At this time, no matter what the magnetism of the end of the first magnetic member 230 close to the second magnetic member 330 is, as long as the second magnetic member 330 rotates with the driving assembly 300, it will always be opposite to the first magnetic member 230 with the same magnetism and the first magnetic member 230 with opposite magnetism in turn during the rotation process. At this time, the water outlet assembly 200 is driven to swing back and forth in turn, forming different water outlet shapes, and different first air holes 221 are continuously opened and closed, that is, the water outlets 250 with different swinging directions will output bubble water and shower water respectively.

[0068] refer to Figure 9Alternatively, multiple first magnetic members 230 may be arranged in sequence along a circular trajectory at intervals, and on any two adjacent first magnetic members 230, the magnetism of the side close to the second magnetic member 330 is opposite. Simultaneously, multiple second magnetic members 330 may be arranged in sequence along a circular trajectory at intervals, and on any two adjacent second magnetic members 330, the magnetism of the side close to the first magnetic member 230 is opposite. During the process of the second magnetic members 330 rotating with the drive assembly 300, when the magnetism of the surface of each second magnetic member 330 and the surface opposite to the first magnetic member 230 are the same, the first magnetic members 230 are pushed by the repulsive force, causing the water outlet 250 of the water outlet assembly 200 to swing toward the direction close to the second magnetic member 330, that is, the water outlet direction of the water outlet assembly 200 is contracted toward the rotation axis L of the drive assembly 300. At this time, all first air holes 221 are open, and the water outlet is bubbling water. When the second magnetic member rotates until the magnetic properties of the opposing surfaces of each second magnetic member 330 and the opposing first magnetic member 230 are opposite, the first magnetic members 230 are attracted by the magnetic force, causing the water outlet 250 of the water outlet assembly 200 to swing away from the second magnetic member 330. That is, the water outlet direction of the water outlet assembly 200 spreads away from the rotation axis L of the driving assembly 300. At this time, all the first air holes 221 are closed, and the water discharged is ordinary shower water.

[0069] According to the above embodiment, as the driving component 300 rotates, the multiple second magnetic parts 330 also rotate accordingly. Therefore, the magnetism of each first magnetic part 230 relative to the second magnetic part 330 also changes all the time. During this change process, the multiple water outlet components 200 continuously swing back and forth, and the shape of the water outlet switches between the contraction and expansion states. As the water outlet shape switches states, the water outlet type also continuously switches between bubble water and shower water, providing users with a dynamic and diverse water outlet effect and shower experience.

[0070] refer to Figure 10 In some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of first magnetic members 230 are arranged in sequence along a circular trajectory. On any two adjacent first magnetic members 230, the magnetism of the side close to the second magnetic member 330 is opposite, and the magnetism of the sides of all second magnetic members 330 close to the first magnetic member 230 is the same.

[0071] In this embodiment, the second magnetic member 330 rotates with the rotation of the driving assembly 300. During its rotation, one of the two adjacent first magnetic members 230 is always repelled by the second magnetic member 330 with the same magnetism, so that the water outlet 250 swings toward the direction close to the second magnetic member 330, and the other is attracted by the second magnetic member 330 with opposite magnetism, so that the water outlet 250 swings toward the direction away from the second magnetic member 330, and the swinging direction is continuously cyclical. As a result, the water outlet device 1000 has a water outlet shape that contracts and approaches the second magnetic member 330 and a water outlet shape that spreads toward the direction away from the second magnetic member 330 at the same time, and the two water outlet shapes are cyclically converted with each other to achieve the diversification of water outlet shapes and make them more beautiful. At the same time, since the first air hole 221 is arranged on the side of the water outlet component 200 facing away from the second magnetic part 330, the water outlet of the contraction water type is bubble water, and the water outlet of the diffusion water type is shower water, and the two water outlet types can be continuously switched with the cyclic conversion of the water outlet shape, providing users with a dynamic and diverse water outlet effect and shower experience.

[0072] Understandably, the reference Figure 11 Alternatively, multiple second magnetic members 330 may be arranged in sequence along a circular trajectory. On any two adjacent second magnetic members 330, the magnetism of the side close to the first magnetic member 230 is opposite, and the magnetism of the sides of all first magnetic members 230 close to the second magnetic member 330 is the same. In this example, the working distance, process and water discharge effect of the water outlet device 1000 are the same as those in the above embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0073] refer to Figure 12 In some embodiments of the present invention, the shape and type of water discharge can be further modified by designing the drive assembly 300. Alternatively, the drive assembly 300 may further include a push member, and the maximum distance between the outer wall of the push member and the rotation axis L of the drive assembly 300 is S1. When the first magnetic member 230 is offset toward the second magnetic member 330 by the magnetic attraction force, the minimum distance between the outer wall of the first magnetic member 230 and the rotation axis L of the drive assembly 300 is S2, where S1>S2.

[0074] As a result, as the push member rotates with the drive assembly 300, it pushes against the first magnetic member 230 of the water outlet assembly 200, which has been displaced by the magnetic attraction, causing the pushed first magnetic member 230 to move away from the second magnetic member 330. At this point, the water outlet direction of the water outlet assembly 200, affected by the push member, also gradually contracts, resulting in the water outlet device 1000 having a third water outlet shape between the two types, in addition to the diffuse water type and the contracted water type. At this point, the first air hole 221 is also open, and the third water outlet shape is shower water. This further enriches the water outlet shapes and types of the water outlet device 1000.

[0075] It is understood that when the first magnetic member 230 is not affected by the suction or repulsive force and is deflected, the minimum distance between the outer peripheral wall of the first magnetic member 230 and the rotation axis L of the drive assembly 300 can be less than or equal to S1. When this minimum distance is equal to S1, the first magnetic member 230, when pushed by the pushing member, is exactly restored to the position when it is not deflected. When the minimum distance is less than S1, the first magnetic member 230, when pushed, will gradually return from the diffuse water type and, after passing the undeflected position, gradually transition to the contracted water type.

[0076] It is understood that the push member can be a push block provided on the driving assembly 300, which can push against the first magnetic member 230 when it rotates with the driving assembly 300. It can also be an annular rib, annular protrusion, etc., which is not limited here.

[0077] refer to Figure 12 and Figure 18 In some embodiments of the present invention, the push-pull member is an annular receiving groove 321, which is disposed on the side of the drive assembly 300 near the water outlet assembly 200. Each second magnetic member 330 is received in the receiving groove 321 for positioning. The maximum distance between the outer wall of the receiving groove 321 and the rotation axis L of the drive assembly 300 is S1, and the minimum distance is S3, where S1>S2>S3. As a result, as the push-pull member rotates with the drive assembly 300, it pushes against the first magnetic member 230 of the water outlet assembly 200 that has been displaced by the magnetic attraction, causing the pushed first magnetic member 230 to move away from the second magnetic member 330. At this time, the water outlet direction of the water outlet assembly 200, affected by the push-pull member, gradually contracts, resulting in the water outlet device 1000 exhibiting a third water outlet shape between the two types, in addition to the diffuse and contracted water types. At this time, the first air hole 221 is also open, and the third water type is shower water. Therefore, the shapes and types of water outlets of the water outlet device 1000 are further enriched.

[0078] It is understandable that in this embodiment, when the first magnetic member 230 is not affected by the attraction or repulsion and is deflected, the minimum distance between the outer wall of the first magnetic member 230 and the rotation axis L of the driving assembly 300 is greater than S3.

[0079] It is understood that the push member or receiving groove 321 may be circular and eccentrically disposed relative to the rotation axis L of the drive assembly 300. Alternatively, it may be elliptical or other irregularly shaped. In this case, the push member or receiving groove 321 may not be eccentrically disposed, and the distance between different positions of its outer peripheral wall and the rotation axis L of the drive assembly 300 may also be different, while still achieving the technical effects of the above-mentioned embodiment.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of second magnetic members 330 are sequentially connected to form an annular push member, and the minimum distance between the outer peripheral wall of the push member and the rotation axis L of the driving assembly 300 is S3, wherein S2>S3.

[0081] refer to Figure 13 and Figure 14 In this embodiment, the second magnetic member 330 can be directly fixed to the driving component 300 by bonding or the like, and the annular push member composed of multiple second magnetic members 330 is in direct contact with the first magnetic member 230. There is no need to add an additional push structure to the driving component 300, which is conducive to further simplification of the structural design and saving of the internal volume of the water outlet device 1000, which is conducive to the miniaturization and compact design of the water outlet device 1000.

[0082] refer to Figure 12 and Figure 15 In some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of first magnetic members 230 are arranged in sequence along a circular trajectory at intervals, and the magnetism of the side close to the second magnetic member 330 is the same. A plurality of second magnetic members 330 are arranged in sequence along a circular trajectory at intervals, and the magnetism of the side close to the first magnetic member 230 is the same. The magnetism of the opposite surfaces between all first magnetic members 230 and all second magnetic members 330 is opposite. The drive assembly 300 also includes a push member, and the maximum distance between the outer peripheral wall of the push member and the rotation axis L of the drive assembly 300 is S1. When the first magnetic member is offset toward the second magnetic member 330 by the magnetic attraction force of the first magnetic member 230, the minimum distance between the outer peripheral wall of the first magnetic member 230 and the rotation axis L of the drive assembly 300 is S2, wherein S1>S2.

[0083] In this embodiment, because the opposing surfaces of all first magnetic members 230 and all second magnetic members 330 have opposite magnetic properties, during the rotation of the drive assembly 300, the first magnetic members 230 are constantly deflected by the magnetic attraction of the second magnetic members 330. Therefore, the water outlet 250 always flows in a diffused direction, and the first air holes 221 are blocked. The water outlet device 1000 always outputs ordinary shower water in a diffused direction. On this basis, since the maximum distance between the outer wall of the pushing member and the rotation axis L of the driving component 300 is greater than the minimum distance between the outer wall of the first magnetic component 230 and the rotation axis L of the driving component 300 when it is offset by the magnetic attraction force, the pushing member will always push the first magnetic component 230 it encounters during the rotation of the driving component 300, causing it to offset in the direction away from the second magnetic component 330. At this time, the water outlet direction of the pushed water outlet component 200 gradually shrinks. At this time, the first air hole 221 is connected, so this part of the water outlet component 200 outputs bubble water in a contracted shape. As the driving component 300 rotates, the water outlet component 200 that is contracting and discharging water continues to change, forming a dynamically changing water outlet shape.

[0084] It is understood that the push-down member can be designed in a variety of ways. For example, the push-down member can be configured with only one protrusion that can only push one first magnetic member 230 to move. Alternatively, the push-down member can be configured with multiple protrusions, or with an elliptical or eccentric circular shape, so that multiple first magnetic members 230 can be pushed against each other simultaneously during rotation, thereby creating different dynamic change effects.

[0085] refer to Figure 12 and Figure 18 In some embodiments of the present invention, the push-pull member is an annular receiving groove 321, which is provided on a side of the driving assembly 300 close to the water outlet assembly 200, and each second magnetic member 330 is accommodated in the receiving groove 321 for positioning. The maximum distance between the outer peripheral wall of the receiving groove 321 and the rotation axis L of the driving assembly 300 is S1, and the minimum distance is S3, wherein S1>S2>S3. Therefore, when the push-pull member rotates with the driving assembly 300, it will push the first magnetic member 230 on the water outlet assembly 200 that is displaced by the magnetic attraction force, causing the pushed first magnetic member 230 to move in a direction away from the second magnetic member 330. At this time, the water outlet direction of the water outlet assembly 200 affected by the push-pull member also gradually shrinks.

[0086] It is understandable that in this embodiment, when the first magnetic member 230 is not affected by the attraction or repulsion and is deflected, the minimum distance between the outer wall of the first magnetic member 230 and the rotation axis L of the driving assembly 300 is greater than S3.

[0087] It is understood that the push member or receiving groove 321 may be circular and eccentrically disposed relative to the rotation axis L of the drive assembly 300. Alternatively, it may be elliptical or other irregularly shaped. In this case, the push member or receiving groove 321 may not be eccentrically disposed, and the distance between different positions of its outer peripheral wall and the rotation axis L of the drive assembly 300 may also be different, while still achieving the technical effects of the above-mentioned embodiment.

[0088] refer to Figure 13 、 Figure 14 and Figure 16 In some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of second magnetic members 330 are sequentially connected to form an annular push member, and the minimum distance between the outer peripheral wall of the push member and the rotation axis L of the driving assembly 300 is S3, where S2>S3.

[0089] In this embodiment, the second magnetic member 330 can be directly fixed to the driving component 300 by bonding or the like, and the annular push member composed of multiple second magnetic members 330 is in direct contact with the first magnetic member 230. There is no need to add an additional push structure to the driving component 300, which is conducive to further simplification of the structural design and saving of the internal volume of the water outlet device 1000, which is conducive to the miniaturization and compact design of the water outlet device 1000.

[0090] refer to Figure 17 In some embodiments of the present invention, a second air hole 222 is further provided on the peripheral wall of the water outlet component 200 to connect the inside of the second water channel 220 with the outside, and the first air hole 221 and the second air hole 222 are symmetrical with each other about the axis of the water outlet component 200.

[0091] In this embodiment, regardless of whether the first magnetic member 230 is attracted or repelled by the second magnetic member 330, one air hole is always open and the other is blocked. That is, regardless of whether the water is diffuse or contracted, the water is always bubbling. However, when either air hole is blocked, only one air hole draws in air. While the first magnetic member 230 is oscillating, the first air hole 221 and the second air hole 222 may be open at the same time. For example, when the first magnetic member 230 is pushed back to a non-deflected position by the push member, both air holes are open for air intake. This results in a greater amount of air intake, more gas mixed in the bubbling water, and a softer shower feel on the skin.

[0092] It can be understood that it is not limited to the case where the first magnetic part 230 is in a non-shifted position that the two air holes will take in air at the same time. In fact, as long as one side of the water outlet component 200 is out of contact with the inner wall of the water outlet hole 121 and the other side has not yet contacted the inner wall of the water outlet hole 121, the two air holes will open at the same time. During this whole process, more mixed gas and softer bubble water will be output.

[0093] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of the present invention, the driving assembly 300 includes an impeller assembly 310, a turntable 320 is provided on the impeller assembly 310, a push member is provided on a side of the turntable 320 close to the water outlet assembly 200, and a second magnetic member 330 is provided on a side of the turntable 320 close to the water outlet assembly 200.

[0094] It can be understood that the impeller assembly 310 and the turntable 320 can be directly connected or connected through the transmission rod 340, or the impeller assembly 310 and the turntable 320 can be designed as an integral part, or the impeller assembly 310 and the turntable 320 can be driven and connected by some existing technologies such as some reduction gears and reduction plates. In short, as long as the impeller assembly 310 rotates, the turntable 320 can rotate synchronously, and there is no limitation here.

[0095] In this embodiment, water enters the water inlet 111 and impacts the impeller assembly 310, causing it to rotate. This in turn drives the turntable 320, which in turn rotates the second magnetic member 330, driving the first magnetic member 230 to oscillate. Simultaneously, the pusher member rotates, pushing against the first magnetic member 230 where it encounters it, causing it to deflect, thus providing the user with a more diverse water outlet pattern.
