When the swinging member swings to the first position and the second position, the water outlet end of the water outlet hole is at least partially facing the hole wall of the water passage hole.

[0012] Option 4, based on Option 2, involves making the descaling section and / or the wall of the water passage a flexible material.

[0013] Option 5, based on Option 1, involves the first abutting part and the second abutting part being sequentially connected arc surfaces.

[0014] Option 6, based on Option 1, further includes an impeller, which is placed inside the water outlet cavity and is adapted to rotate under the action of water force when water flows through the water outlet cavity, thereby driving the rotating component to rotate, with the impeller and the rotating component in a deceleration engagement.

[0015] Option 7, based on Option 6, further includes a gear component. The gear component has a first external tooth and a second external tooth. The output shaft of the impeller is eccentric relative to the rotation axis of the impeller. The gear component is rotatably connected to the output shaft of the impeller. The body and the rotating component have a first internal tooth and a second internal tooth that mesh with the first external tooth and the second external tooth, respectively. The number of teeth of the first internal tooth > the number of teeth of the first external tooth > the number of teeth of the second internal tooth > the number of teeth of the second external tooth.

[0016] Option 8, based on Option 2, has the outer wall dimension of the descaling part corresponding to the hole wall dimension of the water passage in a direction parallel to the first axis.

[0017] Option 9, based on Option 1, involves multiple swinging members arranged around the biasing member, and multiple first abutting portions and second abutting portions.

[0018] Option 10, based on Option 9, the swing member is provided with a first groove and a second groove, the opening of the first groove is on the first surface, the bottom of the second groove forms the second surface, and a portion of the biasing member is adapted to extend into the second groove.

[0019] Option 11, based on Option 1, the oscillating component includes a rotating shaft extending along a first axis, the water outlet cavity is provided with a rotating groove, and the rotating shaft is placed in the rotating groove to oscillate and connect with the water outlet cavity around the first axis.

[0020] As can be seen from the above description of the present invention and its preferred embodiments, compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention and its preferred embodiments have the following beneficial effects due to the adoption of the following technical means:

[0021] 1. In Scheme 1 and its preferred embodiments, a water outlet component includes a body, a swing component, a rotating component, and a biasing component.

[0022] The main body is equipped with a water outlet cavity;

[0023] The swinging component is oscillatingly connected to the water outlet cavity around the first axis. It is provided with a water outlet hole that communicates with the water outlet cavity. When water is discharged, the water flows out through the water outlet hole after passing through the water outlet cavity in sequence.

[0024] The rotating component is placed inside the water outlet chamber and is adapted to rotate around an axis perpendicular to the first axis. The rotating component can be driven by a motor or by water power directly or indirectly.

[0025] The rotating component is provided with a first abutting part and a second abutting part that protrude toward the swinging component and have different protrusion heights. The first abutting part and the second abutting part are adapted to abut against the swinging component so that the swinging component swings to a first position and a second position respectively, thereby causing the swinging component to swing and form a swaying water.

[0026] The biasing component acts on the swinging component and the main body at both ends to apply a force to the swinging component, causing it to move to the second position. This ensures that the swinging component always abuts against the first abutting part or the second abutting part, guaranteeing stable transmission. It can also release energy to reset the swinging component to the second position so that it can swing to the first position next time. This method of forming oscillating water is simple, increases fun or massage effect, and is even simpler when used for massage without shaking the water outlet component.

[0027] 2. In Scheme 2 and its preferred embodiments, the main body is provided with a water passage hole, the water outlet end of the water outlet hole is located inside the water passage hole, the swing member is provided with a descaling part, the water outlet hole passes through the descaling part, the descaling part is adapted to abut against the hole wall of the water passage hole when the swing member swings to the first position and the second position, so as to scrape the scale on the hole wall of the water passage hole, so that the scale falls off and flows out with the water through the water passage hole, thereby preventing scale from accumulating and causing the water passage hole to be unable to output water.

[0028] 3. In Scheme 3 and its preferred embodiments, the main body is provided with a water passage hole, and the water outlet end of the water outlet hole is located inside the water passage hole. When the swinging component swings to the first position and the second position, the water outlet end of the water outlet hole is at least partially facing the hole wall of the water passage hole, so that the water flow impacts the hole wall of the water passage hole, causing the scale to fall off and flow out with the water through the water passage hole, preventing scale from accumulating and causing the water passage hole to be unable to discharge water. Combined with Scheme 2, the descaling effect can be further improved.

[0029] 4. In Scheme 4 and its preferred embodiments, the descaling part and / or the wall of the water passage hole are made of flexible material to prevent damage caused by hard contact. When the descaling part is made of soft rubber, it can also remove scale in the water outlet hole by pressing and deforming against the wall of the water passage hole. When the wall of the water passage hole is made of flexible material, the wall of the water passage hole can also be pressed directly to assist in descaling.

[0030] 5. In Scheme 5 and its preferred embodiments, the first abutting part and the second abutting part are arc surfaces connected in sequence to prevent the swinging part from swinging rapidly due to sudden changes in height, which would make the water shape unsightly, the massage effect insignificant, or the swinging part easily damaged due to violent swinging.

[0031] 6. In Scheme Six and its preferred embodiments, an impeller is further included. The impeller is placed inside the water outlet chamber and is adapted to rotate when water flows through the water outlet chamber to drive the rotating component to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the rotating component and saving costs. The impeller and the rotating component are engaged in a speed reduction mechanism to prevent the rotating component from rotating too fast, which would cause the oscillating component to oscillate too fast, resulting in an insignificant water pattern and massage effect.

[0032] 7. In Scheme 7 and its preferred embodiments, a gear component is further included. The gear component has a first external tooth and a second external tooth. The gear component is rotatably connected to the output shaft of the impeller. The main body and the rotating component have a first internal tooth and a second internal tooth that mesh with the first external tooth and the second external tooth, respectively, to achieve first-stage and second-stage speed reduction. Because the output shaft of the impeller is eccentric relative to the rotation axis of the impeller, the gear component can both rotate on its own axis and revolve around the impeller with the cooperation of the first internal tooth, thus providing conditions for achieving the speed reduction effect. The number of teeth of the first internal tooth > the number of teeth of the first external tooth > the number of teeth of the second internal tooth > the number of teeth of the second external tooth, thereby achieving the speed reduction effect.

[0033] 8. In Scheme 8 and its preferred embodiments, the outer wall size of the descaling part corresponds to the hole wall size of the water passage in the direction parallel to the first axis, so that the distance between the outer wall of the descaling part and the hole wall of the water passage in the direction parallel to the first axis is small, reducing the presence of scale in this direction and preventing the problem of scale removal failure due to the inability of the descaling part to swing in this direction.

[0034] 9. In Scheme Nine and its preferred embodiments, the number of oscillating components is multiple, increasing the water output and massage effect. Each oscillating component has a first surface and a second surface on both sides of the first axis. The first surface is adapted to abut against the first and second abutting portions.

[0035] Each swinging component is arranged around the biasing component so that the biasing component acts on each second surface. Each swinging component shares a single biasing component, which reduces cost and allows for a smaller biasing component size.

[0036] 10. In Scheme 10 and its preferred embodiments, the swing member is provided with a first groove and a second groove. The opening of the first groove is on the first surface to reduce the contact area between the first surface and the first or second abutment, thereby reducing friction and making the swing member easier to push. The bottom of the second groove forms the second surface. A portion of the biasing member is adapted to extend into the second groove. The biasing member is restricted by the groove wall of the second groove to prevent it from falling out of the swing member and causing functional failure.

[0037] 11. In Scheme 11 and its preferred embodiments, the oscillating component includes a rotating shaft extending along the first axis, the water outlet cavity is provided with a rotating groove, and the rotating shaft is placed in the rotating groove to oscillate and connect with the water outlet cavity around the first axis, which has a simple structure.

[0054] Unless otherwise expressly defined, the terms "fixed connection" or "fixed connection" used in the claims, description and drawings of this invention should be interpreted broadly to refer to any connection in which there is no displacement or relative rotation relationship between the two parties, including non-removable fixed connection, detachable fixed connection, integral connection and fixed connection by other means or components.

[0055] In the claims, description and accompanying drawings of this invention, the terms "comprising," "having," and variations thereof are used to mean "including but not limited to."

[0056] refer to Figures 1-10 A water outlet component includes a body 1, a swinging component 2, a rotating component 3, a biasing component 4, an impeller 5, and a gear component 6. This water outlet component can be a shower head or a spray gun, etc.

[0057] The main body 1 is composed of several parts assembled together to facilitate the installation of parts within the main body 1 and the formation of complex water channels. In this embodiment, there are at least two water outlet paths. Specifically, the main body 1 is provided with a water outlet chamber 11 and a shower chamber, with the shower chamber surrounding the water outlet chamber 11. The two can be switched by the movement of the switching element 7 to achieve the effect of water outlet chamber 11 discharging water independently, the shower chamber discharging water independently, or the water outlet chamber 11 and the shower chamber discharging water in a mixed manner. The switching element 7 can be in the form of a push button, a knob, etc., which is existing technology and will not be described in detail.

[0058] In this embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2 In the water outlet cavity 11 area, the main body 1 mainly includes a flow guide 12, a support 13, a support ring 14, and a pressure cap 15. The flow guide 12 and the support 13 are assembled together to form the water outlet cavity 11.

[0059] refer to Figure 3 The guide member 12 is generally cylindrical, and its wall surface is provided with jet holes 121, which are suitable for water to enter and exit the water outlet chamber 11. A rotating shaft 122 is provided in the middle of the guide member 12. Figure 8 The impeller 5 is placed inside the water outlet chamber 11. Specifically, the impeller 5 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 122 and sits on the pressure cover 15. The water outlet direction of the jet hole 121 points towards the blades of the impeller 5. When water passes through the water outlet chamber 11, the water flow entering through the jet hole 121 impacts the blades, causing the impeller 5 to rotate around the vertically extending axis under the action of water force, thereby driving the rotating component 3 to rotate. Preferably, the impeller 5 and the rotating component 3 are in a speed reduction fit so that the rotation speed of the rotating component 3 is less than the rotation speed of the impeller 5.

[0060] Specifically, in this embodiment, deceleration is achieved through meshing teeth. (See reference) Figure 3 The inner wall of the guide member 12 is provided with first internal teeth 123. In this embodiment, internal teeth refer to teeth protruding towards the center (such as the central axis of the guide member 12), while external teeth refer to teeth protruding in a direction away from the center. The impeller 5 is placed in the water outlet cavity 11, and the output shaft of the impeller 5 is eccentric relative to the rotation axis of the impeller 5. (Refer to...) Figure 7 The gear component 6 is placed inside the water outlet chamber 11 and is rotatably connected to the output shaft of the impeller 5. The gear component 6 has a first external tooth 61 and a second external tooth 62. The diameter of the first external tooth 61 is larger than the diameter of the second external tooth 62. The first external tooth 61 meshes with the first internal tooth 123. (Reference) Figure 6The rotating component 3 is sleeved outside the second external tooth 62 and has a second internal tooth 31 suitable for meshing with the second external tooth 62. The number of teeth on the first internal tooth 123 is greater than the number of teeth on the first external tooth 61, which in turn is greater than the number of teeth on the second internal tooth 31, which is greater than the number of teeth on the second external tooth 62. When the impeller 5 rotates, the gear component 6 also rotates. The first external tooth 61 meshes with the first internal tooth 123 to achieve first-stage speed reduction, and the second external tooth 62 meshes with the second internal tooth 31 to achieve second-stage speed reduction, thus driving the rotating component 3 to rotate. (Reference) Figure 8 The support ring 14 is ring-shaped and is sleeved on the upper part of the rotating member 3. Its upper end abuts against the first external tooth 61, and its lower end sits on the rotating member 3 to support the first external tooth 61.

[0061] refer to Figure 8 , Figure 9 The support member 13 is provided with a mounting hole 131 that passes through the support member 13. The support member 13 supports the pressure cap 15. The cross-sectional shape of the mounting hole 131 near the guide member 12 is an arc surface. The support member 13 is provided with a rotating groove for the swing member 2 to swing and cooperate.

[0062] refer to Figure 8 , Figure 9 The main body 1 also includes a water outlet 16 and a face cover 17. The water outlet 16 is held by the face cover 17 and the support member 13. The face cover 17 is used for water outlet of the shower chamber. The water outlet 16 extends out of the face cover 17 and is provided with a water passage hole 161 through the water outlet 16.

[0063] refer to Figure 5 , Figure 9 , Figure 10The oscillating member 2 is located within the water outlet cavity 11. The oscillating member 2 is generally cross-shaped and includes a rotating shaft 21 extending along a first axis. The rotating shaft 21 is placed within a rotating groove to oscillate with the water outlet cavity 11 around the first axis, allowing it to oscillate between a first position and a second position. Because the rotating shaft 21 is limited by the groove wall, when the rotating member 3 abuts against the oscillating member 2, the oscillating member 2 will not rotate around the rotation direction of the rotating member 3, thus only oscillating. The oscillating member 2 has a first surface 22 and a second surface 23 on both sides of the first axis, respectively, for the rotating member 3 and the biasing member 4 to cooperate with. In this embodiment, both the first surface 22 and the second surface 23 face upwards. Preferably, the oscillating member 2 has a first groove 24 and a second groove 25, which extend through the oscillating member 2 in a direction parallel to the first axis. The opening of the first groove 24 is at the first surface 22 to reduce the area of ​​the first surface 22, and the bottom of the second groove 25 forms the second surface 23. Multiple swing members 2 are arranged around the biasing member 4. In this embodiment, the first axes of each swing member 2 are not exactly the same. The swing member 2 has a sphere in its center that matches the size of the mounting hole 131. This sphere sits on the arc surface of the mounting hole 131. The swing member 2 also has a water outlet 26 in its center that communicates with the water outlet chamber 11. The water outlet end of the water outlet 26 is located inside the water passage hole 161. The swing member 2 has a descaling part 27, through which the water outlet 26 passes. When the swing member 2 swings to the first position and the second position, the descaling part 27 abuts against the two side walls of the water passage hole 161, and the water outlet end of the water outlet 26 at least partially faces the wall of the water passage hole 161. The descaling part 27 and / or the wall of the water passage hole 161 are made of a flexible material. In this embodiment, the wall of the water passage hole 161 is made of a flexible material. In a direction parallel to the first axis, the outer wall size of the descaling part 27 corresponds to the wall size of the water passage 161, meaning there is a gap between them in this direction. However, the size of this gap is small, such as 0.5-1.5 mm, to prevent scale buildup in this direction. In this embodiment, the descaling part 27 and the water passage 161 are generally racetrack-shaped; in other embodiments, they may also be circular, elliptical, or oriented in a certain direction.

[0064] refer to Figure 6 The rotating component 3 is placed inside the water outlet cavity 11 and is adapted to rotate about an axis perpendicular to the first axis when water flows through the water outlet cavity 11. The rotation axis of the rotating component 3 is parallel to the first axis. Figure 8The rotating component 3 is generally annular, with a second internal tooth 31 on its inner wall. The rotating component 3 is located above the oscillating component 2, and it has a first abutment portion 32 and a second abutment portion 33 protruding towards the oscillating component 2 at different heights. There are multiple first abutment portions 32 and second abutment portions 33 to correspond to multiple oscillating components 2. The first abutment portions 32 and second abutment portions 33 are sequentially connected arc surfaces, roughly wavy. The first abutment portion 32 is higher (its protrusion is larger). When the first abutment portion 32 abuts against the lower first surface 22, the oscillating component 2 rotates to a first position, such as... Figure 9 When the second abutting part 33 abuts against the lower first surface 22, the swing member 2 rotates to the second position, such as Figure 10 Because the first surface 22 changes position relative to the main body 1 in the two positions, the oscillating member 2 exhibits an oscillating form. In the above, the rotating member 3 is indirectly driven by water power (the water power drives the impeller 5, and the impeller 5 drives the rotating member 3 to rotate), but in other embodiments, the rotating member 3 can be driven by a motor, or the rotating member 3 itself is the impeller 5, thus being directly driven by water power to rotate. When one oscillating member 2 is in the first position, the remaining oscillating members 2 can be in the second position or the first position. The corresponding effect can be achieved by setting the positions of the first abutment part 32 and the second abutment part 33.

[0065] refer to Figure 8 The biasing member 4 is located in the middle of the water outlet cavity 11. Both ends of the biasing member 4 act on the swing member 2 and the body 1 respectively, applying a force to the swing member 2 to move it to a second position. In this embodiment, the biasing member 4 is a spring. Both ends of the biasing member 4 act on each second surface 23 and the pressure cap 15 respectively. The portion of the biasing member 4 acting on the second surface 23 is adapted to extend into the second groove 25, thereby limiting the position of the biasing member 4 through the groove wall of the second groove 25. In other embodiments, the biasing member 4 may also be two magnetically coupled components (at least one of the components is magnetic), one component being mounted on the body 1 and the other component being mounted on the swing member 2.

[0066] When using, refer to Figures 8-10When water enters through the jet hole 121, the impeller 5 rotates, thereby driving the gear 6 to rotate. The gear 6 meshes with the body 1. The gear 6 rotates on its own axis and revolves around the rotation axis of the impeller 5, achieving first-stage speed reduction. At the same time, the gear 6 also meshes with the rotating component 3. As the gear 6 rotates, it drives the rotating component 3 to rotate. When the rotating component 3 rotates, the contact surface between the rotating component 3 and the oscillating component 2 changes, causing the oscillating component 2 to oscillate left and right. Specifically, when the first abutting part 32 of the rotating component 3 abuts against the oscillating component 2, the oscillating component 2 rotates... In the first position, the biasing member 4 stores energy. When it continues to rotate, the biasing member 4 releases energy so that the second abutting part 33 of the rotating member 3 abuts against the swinging member 2, and the swinging member 2 rotates to the second position. When the swinging member 2 swings between the first and second positions, the descaling part 27 of the swinging member 2 is adapted to abut against the wall of the water passage 161 to scrape the scale on the wall of the water passage 161. At the same time, the water outlet end of the water outlet 26 of the swinging member 2 is at least partially facing the wall of the water passage 161 so that the scale on the wall of the water passage 161 is removed by water impact.

[0067] Compared with the prior art, this embodiment has the following beneficial effects:

[0068] In one exemplary embodiment, a water outlet component includes a body 1, a swinging component 2, a rotating component 3, and a biasing component 4. The body 1 has a water outlet cavity 11. The swinging component 2 is oscillatingly connected to the water outlet cavity 11 about a first axis and has a water outlet hole 26 communicating with the water outlet cavity 11. When water is discharged, water flows out through the water outlet cavity 11 and then through the water outlet hole 26. The rotating component 3 is placed inside the water outlet cavity 11 and is adapted to rotate about an axis perpendicular to the first axis. It can be driven by a motor or by water power directly or indirectly. The rotating component 3 has a first abutting portion 32 and a second abutting portion 33 protruding towards the swinging component 2 at different heights. The first abutting portion 32 and the second abutting portion 33 are adapted to abut against the swinging component 2, causing the swinging component 2 to swing to a first position and a second position respectively, thereby causing the swinging component 2 to swing and form oscillating water. The biasing member 4 acts on the swing member 2 and the body 1 at both ends to apply a force to the swing member 2 to move it to the second position, so that the swing member 2 always abuts against the first abutting part 32 or the second abutting part 33, ensuring transmission stability, and can release energy to reset the swing member 2 to the second position so that it can swing to the first position next time. This way of forming swing water is simple, increases fun or massage effect, and when used for massage, there is no need to shake the water outlet, making it even simpler.

[0069] In one exemplary embodiment, the main body 1 is provided with a water passage hole 161, and the water outlet end of the water outlet hole 26 is located inside the water passage hole 161. The swing member 2 is provided with a descaling part 27, and the water outlet hole 26 passes through the descaling part 27. The descaling part 27 is adapted to abut against the hole wall of the water passage hole 161 when the swing member 2 swings to the first position and the second position, so as to scrape the scale on the hole wall of the water passage hole 161, so that the scale falls off and flows out with the water through the water passage hole 161, thereby preventing the scale from accumulating and causing the water passage hole 161 to be unable to output water.

[0070] In one exemplary embodiment, the body 1 is provided with a water passage hole 161, and the outlet end of the water outlet hole 26 is located inside the water passage hole 161. When the swing member 2 swings to the first position and the second position, the outlet end of the water outlet hole 26 is at least partially facing the hole wall of the water passage hole 161, so that the water flow impacts the hole wall of the water passage hole 161, causing the scale to fall off and flow out with the water through the water passage hole 161, preventing scale from accumulating and causing the water passage hole 161 to be unable to discharge water. Combined with the second embodiment, the descaling effect can be further improved.

[0071] In one exemplary embodiment, the walls of the descaling part 27 and / or the water passage 161 are made of a flexible material to prevent damage caused by hard contact. When the descaling part 27 is made of soft rubber, it can also remove scale from the water outlet 26 by pressing and deforming against the wall of the water passage 161. When the wall of the water passage 161 is made of a flexible material, the wall of the water passage 161 can also be pressed directly to assist in descaling.

[0072] In one exemplary embodiment, the first abutting part 32 and the second abutting part 33 are arc surfaces connected in sequence to prevent the swinging member 2 from swinging rapidly due to sudden changes in height, which would result in an unsightly water pattern, an insignificant massage effect, or damage to the swinging member 2 due to violent swinging.

[0073] In one exemplary embodiment, an impeller 5 is further included. The impeller 5 is placed inside the water outlet chamber 11 and is adapted to rotate when water flows through the water outlet chamber 11 to drive the rotating component 3 to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the rotating component 3 and saving costs. The impeller 5 and the rotating component 3 are engaged with a speed reduction mechanism to prevent the rotating component 3 from rotating too fast, which would cause the oscillating component 2 to oscillate too fast, resulting in an insignificant water pattern and massage effect.

[0074] In one exemplary embodiment, a gear component 6 is further included. The gear component 6 has a first external tooth 61 and a second external tooth 62. The gear component 6 is rotatably connected to the output shaft of the impeller 5. The body 1 and the rotating component 3 have a first internal tooth 123 and a second internal tooth 31 that mesh with the first external tooth 61 and the second external tooth 62, respectively, to achieve first-stage and second-stage speed reduction. Because the output shaft of the impeller 5 is eccentric relative to the rotation axis of the impeller 5, the gear component 6 can both rotate on its own axis and revolve around the impeller with the cooperation of the first internal tooth 123, thus providing conditions for achieving the speed reduction effect. The number of teeth of the first internal tooth 123 > the number of teeth of the first external tooth 61 > the number of teeth of the second internal tooth 31 > the number of teeth of the second external tooth 62, thereby achieving the speed reduction effect.

[0075] In one exemplary embodiment, the outer wall size of the descaling part 27 corresponds to the hole wall size of the water passage hole 161 in the direction parallel to the first axis, so that the distance between the outer wall of the descaling part 27 and the hole wall of the water passage hole 161 is small in the direction parallel to the first axis, thereby reducing the presence of scale in this direction and preventing the problem of scale not being removed because the descaling part 27 cannot swing in this direction.

[0076] In one exemplary embodiment, there are multiple oscillating members 2 to increase water output and massage effect. Each oscillating member 2 has a first surface 22 and a second surface 23 on both sides of the first axis. The first surface 22 is adapted to abut against the first abutting portion 32 and the second abutting portion 33. Each oscillating member 2 is arranged around a biasing member 4 so that the biasing member 4 acts on each of the second surfaces 23. Each oscillating member 2 shares a single biasing member 4, resulting in low cost and allowing for a smaller size of the biasing member 4.

[0077] In one exemplary embodiment, the swing member 2 is provided with a first groove 24 and a second groove 25. The opening of the first groove 24 is at the first surface 22 to reduce the contact area between the first surface 22 and the first abutment portion 32 or the second abutment portion 33, thereby reducing friction and making the swing member 2 easier to push. The bottom of the second groove 25 forms a second surface 23. A portion of the biasing member 4 is adapted to extend into the second groove 25. The biasing member 4 is restricted by the groove wall of the second groove 25 to prevent it from falling out of the swing member 2 and causing functional failure.

[0078] In one exemplary embodiment, the oscillating member 2 includes a rotating shaft 21 extending along a first axis, and the water outlet cavity 11 is provided with a rotating groove. The rotating shaft 21 is placed in the rotating groove to oscillate and connect with the water outlet cavity 11 around the first axis, resulting in a simple structure.

[0079] The foregoing description of the specifications and embodiments is intended to explain the scope of protection of this invention, but does not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this invention. Modifications, equivalent substitutions, or other improvements to the embodiments of this invention or a portion thereof that can be obtained by those skilled in the art through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation, based on the teachings of this invention or the foregoing embodiments, in conjunction with common knowledge, general technical knowledge, and / or existing technology, should all be included within the scope of protection of this invention.
