DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, 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 should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0042] The present invention relates to a water outlet device, comprising a water flow channel 100, a driving mechanism 200, a linkage mechanism and a massage member 600. The water outlet device can be applied to water-using products such as shower heads, spray heads and back sprays.

[0043] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, the water flow channel 100 is used to connect with the external water supply system and spray water outward. The water outlet device may include a water inlet mechanism and a water outlet mechanism, and the water flow channel 100 is formed between the water inlet mechanism and the water outlet mechanism. The water outlet mechanism may also be provided with one or more water outlet channels, and different water outlet channels form different water spraying shapes. The driving mechanism 200 includes an impeller 210, and the impeller 210 is located on the water flow path of the water flow channel 100. The impeller 210 can be located at any position of the water flow through the water flow channel 100, such as the impeller 210 is connected to the water flow channel 100 where the water inlet mechanism is located, or the impeller 210 can be connected to the water flow channel 100 at the transition between the water inlet mechanism and the water outlet mechanism. When water flows through the water flow channel 100, the water flow impacts the impeller 210, and the impeller 210 is driven to rotate by the water flow. The driving mechanism 200 can also be provided with a speed-changing wheel set 220, which is connected to the impeller 210, and the speed-changing wheel set 220 is driven by the impeller 210 to perform speed transmission, which can be acceleration or deceleration. The linkage mechanism includes a clutch assembly 300, a telescopic assembly 400 and a rotating assembly 500. The clutch assembly 300 is connected to the driving mechanism 200, and the driving mechanism 200 can drive the clutch assembly 300 to rotate. The clutch assembly 300 can move in the water outlet device, and the clutch assembly 300 will be linked with at least one of the telescopic assembly 400 and the rotating assembly 500 at different positions. That is, the clutch assembly 300 can be linked only with the telescopic assembly 400, or only with the rotating assembly 500, or synchronously linked with the telescopic assembly 400 and the rotating assembly 500. The driving mechanism 200 drives the clutch assembly 300 to rotate. When the telescopic assembly 400 is linked with the clutch assembly 300, the telescopic assembly 400 converts the rotational motion of the driving mechanism 200 into reciprocating translational motion through the clutch assembly 300. The driving mechanism 200 drives the clutch assembly 300 to rotate. When the rotating assembly 500 is linked with the clutch assembly 300, the rotating assembly 500 rotates with the driving mechanism 200 through the clutch assembly 300. Among them, the telescopic assembly 400 can convert the rotational motion into linear motion through structures such as a crank slider structure, a rocker structure, and a gear rack transmission structure. The rotating assembly 500 can be synchronized with the driving mechanism 200 through a gear group transmission structure. The telescopic assembly 400 and the rotating assembly 500 are both connected to the massage member 600. The structure of the massage member 600 is not limited, and the massage member 600 can be set as a brush head structure, a hammer head structure, etc. It is understandable that the telescopic component 400 and the rotating component 500 can always remain connected to the massage component 600. When one of the telescopic component 400 and the rotating component 500 is linked with the driving mechanism 200 through the clutch component 300, the linked one drives the massage component 600 to perform corresponding actions.Alternatively, when one of the telescopic assembly 400 and the rotating assembly 500 is linked with the driving mechanism 200 through the clutch assembly 300, the linked one is connected with the massage member 600, and the other is disconnected from the massage member 600, and the linked one drives the massage member 600 to perform corresponding actions. Fig. 9 As shown, when the clutch assembly 300 moves to be linked with the telescopic assembly 400, the telescopic assembly 400 converts the rotation of the driving mechanism 200 into a reciprocating translation motion, driving the massage member 600 to reciprocate, and the massage member 600 enters the impact massage mode in the water outlet device, and the massage member 600 can perform reciprocating pressing massage on the user. Fig.11 As shown, when the clutch assembly 300 moves to be linked with the rotating assembly 500, the rotating assembly 500 will rotate synchronously, driving the massage member 600 to rotate, and the massage member 600 enters the rotation massage mode in the water outlet device, and the massage member 600 can perform a rotation massage on the user. Fig.10 As shown, when the clutch assembly 300 moves to be linked with the telescopic assembly 400 and the rotating assembly 500 at the same time, the massage part 600 rotates and moves back and forth at the same time, and the massage part 600 enters the compound massage mode. When in use, the user can spray the body through the water outlet device while selecting different massage modes to massage the body through the massage head. The linkage of the driving mechanism 200, the linkage mechanism and the massage part 600 is realized by using water flow power, without the need for electrical energy, which is safe, stable, energy-saving and environmentally friendly. The selection of multiple massage modes meets the different usage needs of users and increases the functionality of the water outlet device.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8As shown, the clutch assembly 300 includes a linkage wheel 310, a first connecting member 320, a second connecting member 330 and a connecting rod 340. The linkage wheel 310 is connected to the driving mechanism 200. It can be understood that the linkage wheel 310 is connected to the driving mechanism 200 in a manner that is not limited to, the linkage wheel 310 is coaxially connected to the impeller 210 through a shaft, or the linkage wheel 310 and the impeller 210 are driven by tooth meshing, or the linkage wheel 310 and the impeller 210 are driven by tooth meshing through the speed change wheel set 220. The driving mechanism 200 drives the linkage wheel 310 to rotate synchronously. The first connecting member 320 is connected to the linkage wheel 310, and the first connecting member 320 keeps rotating synchronously with the linkage wheel 310. The connection method between the first connecting member 320 and the linkage wheel 310 can be, but is not limited to, the first connecting member 320 and the linkage wheel 310 are coaxially connected, and the first connecting member 320 and the linkage wheel 310 can move relative to each other in the axial direction but cannot rotate relative to each other around the axial direction; or, the first connecting member 320 and the linkage wheel 310 are transmitted by tooth meshing. The second connecting member 330 is connected to the rotating assembly 500. It can be understood that the connection method between the second connecting member 330 and the rotating assembly 500 can be, but is not limited to, the second connecting member 330 and the rotating assembly 500 are coaxially connected by a shaft, or can be transmitted by tooth meshing. The connecting rod 340 is connected to the second connecting member 330. The connecting rod 340 can move axially in the water outlet device, and when moving, it drives the second connecting member 330 to move. When the second connecting member 330 moves, the second connecting member 330 may be separated from the rotating assembly 500 or moved to be connected to the rotating assembly 500 as the connecting rod 340 moves; or the second connecting member 330 may always remain connected to the rotating assembly 500 when the connecting rod 340 moves. The second connecting member 330 moves closer to or farther away from the first connecting member 320 as the connecting rod 340 moves. In the direction shown in the figure, the second connecting member 330 is located below the first connecting member 320. When the second connecting member 330 moves in a direction away from the first connecting member 320 (downward), the first connecting member 320 and the second connecting member 330 are separated from each other without transmission. When the second connecting member 330 moves in a direction close to the first connecting member 320 (upward), the second connecting member 330 may be connected to the first connecting member 320 when moving, and the first connecting member 320 and the second connecting member 330 are linked. As the second connecting member 330 continues to move upward, the second connecting member 330 will push the first connecting member 320 upward until the first connecting member 320 leaves the telescopic assembly 400. After the first connecting member 320 and the second connecting member 330 are connected, the second connecting member 330 remains connected to the rotating assembly 500. When the second connecting member 330 moves downward, the first connecting member 320 will reset downward to reconnect with the telescopic assembly 400. In actual use, the driving mechanism 200 rotates under the impact of the water flow, driving the linkage wheel 310 to rotate. Fig. 9As shown, the first connecting member 320 and the second connecting member 330 are in a separated position, and the position of the second connecting member 330 at this time is defined as the first position, and the position of the first connecting member 320 in connection with the telescopic assembly 400 is defined as the fourth position. At this time, the linkage wheel 310 drives the first connecting member 320 to rotate, and the telescopic assembly 400 converts the rotation of the first connecting member 320 into a reciprocating translation motion, thereby driving the massage member 600 to perform a reciprocating translation motion. The second connecting member 330 remains in the first position, and the second connecting member 330 does not move. Fig.10 As shown, when the second connecting member 330 moves upward from the first position to connect with the first connecting member 320 located at the fourth position, the current position of the second connecting member 330 is defined as the second position. The second connecting member 330 located at the second position is connected to the first connecting member 320 located at the fourth position. At this time, the linkage wheel 310 drives the second connecting member 330 to rotate synchronously through the first connecting member 320, the telescopic component 400 drives the massage member 600 to telescopically move, and the second connecting member 330 drives the rotating component 500 to rotate and drives the massage member 600 to rotate, that is, the massage member 600 telescopically moves and rotates at the same time. Fig.11 As shown, when the connecting rod 340 drives the second connecting member 330 to continue to move upward from the second position, the second connecting member 330 moves to the third position, and the second connecting member 330 pushes the first connecting member 320 upward from the fourth position to the fifth position. At this time, the second connecting member 330 remains connected to the rotating assembly 500, and the first connecting member 320 is disconnected from the telescopic assembly 400. At this time, the linkage wheel 310 drives the second connecting member 330 to rotate through the first connecting member 320, and the second connecting member 330 drives the massage head to rotate through the rotating assembly 500. At this time, since the first connecting member 320 is separated from the telescopic assembly 400, the massage head only rotates without telescopic movement. When the second connecting member 330 is reset from the third position to the second position or the first position, the first connecting member 320 will be reset from the fifth position to the fourth position.

[0045] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the connecting rod 340 is slidably coaxially penetrated through the linkage wheel 310 and the first connecting member 320. The second connecting member 330 is fixed on the connecting rod 340. In the direction shown in the figure, the connecting rod 340 passes through the linkage wheel 310 and the first connecting member 320 in sequence from top to bottom. The second connecting member 330 is fixed to the lower end of the connecting rod 340. One of the first connecting member 320 and the linkage wheel 310 is provided with a first tooth protrusion 321, and the other is provided with a first groove portion 311. In this embodiment, the middle part of the linkage wheel 310 is hollow, and at least one first groove portion 311 opened in the shape of a straight groove along the axial direction is provided on the inner wall of the hollow part of the linkage wheel 310. The first connecting member 320 is a hollow columnar structure, and at least one first tooth protrusion 321 protruding radially and extending along the axial direction is provided on the outer wall of the first connecting member 320. The first connecting member 320 is inserted into the linkage wheel 310 from bottom to top, and the first tooth protrusion 321 is correspondingly slidably connected in the first groove portion 311, so that the first connecting member 320 can slide relative to the linkage wheel 310 in the axial direction, and the linkage wheel 310 and the first connecting member 320 can rotate synchronously. The connecting rod 340 coaxially passes through the linkage wheel 310 and the first connecting member 320, and the second connecting member 330 can be sleeved on the lower end of the connecting rod 340, and then relatively fixed by means of screws, snap rings, etc. One of the first connecting member 320 and the second connecting member 330 is provided with a second tooth protrusion 331, and the other is provided with a second groove portion 322. In this embodiment, the first connecting member 320 is hollow inside, and at least one second groove portion 322 opened in the shape of a straight groove along the axial direction is provided on the inner wall of the first connecting member 320, and at least one second tooth protrusion 331 protruding radially and extending along the axial direction is provided on the upper part of the second connecting member 330. When the second connecting member 330 moves from the first position to the second position, the second connecting member 330 extends from the bottom to the top into the first connecting member 320, and the second tooth protrusions 331 are matched and slid into the second groove 322 one by one, so that the first connecting member 320 and the second connecting member 330 can rotate synchronously. When the second connecting member 330 moves upward from the second position to the third position, the second tooth protrusions 331 can abut against the upper end of the second groove 322 to push the first connecting member 320 upward. When the second connecting member 330 moves downward to reset to the first position, the second tooth protrusions 331 slide out of the second groove 322. When the first connecting member 320 resets from the fifth position to the fourth position, a clamping protrusion may be provided on the connecting rod 340, and when the connecting rod 340 drives the second connecting member 330 to reset from the third position to the second position, the first connecting member 320 is driven to reset to the fourth position by the clamping protrusion. Alternatively, an elastic member 700 may be provided between the first connecting member 320 and the linkage wheel 310. The elastic member 700 may be a spring or the like, and the elastic member 700 may be sleeved on the connecting rod 340. The upper end of the elastic member 700 abuts against the linkage wheel 310, and the other end abuts against the first connecting member 320.The elastic member 700 applies an elastic force to the first connecting member 320 to move the first connecting member 320 to a position connected to the telescopic assembly 400 , that is, the elastic force drives the first connecting member 320 to move to the fourth position.

[0046] In one embodiment, if Fig. 9 , Fig.10 and Fig.14 As shown, the water outlet device further includes a stop seat 810. A third tooth protrusion 811 is provided on the stop seat 810, and a fourth tooth protrusion 332 is provided on the second connecting member 330. When the second connecting member 330 moves to a position separated from the first connecting member 320, that is, the second connecting member 330 moves to the first position, the third tooth protrusion 811 and the fourth tooth protrusion 332 are engaged, thereby limiting the rotation of the second connecting member 330. When the second connecting member 330 moves to a position connected to the first connecting member 320, that is, the second connecting member 330 moves to the second position or the third position, the third tooth protrusion 811 and the fourth tooth protrusion 332 are separated, and the rotation restriction on the second connecting member 330 is released.

[0047] In one embodiment, if Fig. 9 As shown, the rotating assembly 500 includes a first gear 510. The massage member 600 is fixedly connected to the first gear 510, and the two can be relatively fixed by screws, snap rings, etc. The first gear 510 is meshed with the clutch assembly 300, and specifically, teeth can be provided on the circumferential side wall of the second connecting member 330, and the second connecting member 330 is meshed with the first gear 510 for transmission.

[0048] In one embodiment, if Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the water outlet device also includes a base 820. The base 820 is provided with a guide cavity 821, and in the direction shown in the figure, the guide cavity 821 is vertically arranged. Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Fig. 9As shown, the telescopic assembly 400 includes a balance wheel 410, a swing rod 420 and a piston member 430. The piston member 430 is installed in a guide cavity 821 in a translational manner. The piston member 430 can be translated up and down in the guide cavity 821. The lower part of the piston member 430 can be fixedly connected to the massage member 600 by means of screws, snap rings and other components. The clutch assembly 300 is coaxially penetrated in the balance wheel 410. The outer wall of the balance wheel 410 is provided with an annular groove 411, and the central axis of the annular groove 411 is inclined to the central axis of the balance wheel 410. The central axis of the balance wheel 410 is consistent with the central axis of the connecting rod 340.
