[0064] Currently, the water outlet system with a side spray function realizes top spray and side spray water outlet by setting up a dual water path. To achieve modularization, the two water paths are integrated on a water path connection component, and then installed inside the pipe body to achieve sealing with the inlet and outlet of the pipe body. Most of the existing ones adopt placing the water path connection component into the pipe through the opening at the bottom of the shower pipe. Due to the limitation of the pipe body volume, the accessories are placed into the pipe for installation multiple times, resulting in inconvenient installation with the pipe body and complicated steps.

The shower system can be installed in various occasion environments such as companies, schools, families, factories, etc., to realize the cleaning treatment of items and body parts to be cleaned, so as to improve and enhance people's quality of life and health.

[0066] Please also combine Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 8, the shower system provided by the present disclosure will now be described. The shower system includes a pipe body 10 and a water outlet device 20. The shower system can be a shower or a water outlet faucet. If the shower system is a shower, the pipe body 10 can be arranged vertically. If the shower system is a water outlet faucet, the pipe body 10 can be arranged horizontally. For the convenience of describing the embodiments of the present disclosure, the following takes the shower system as a shower as an example for description. The shower can include a vertical rod. The pipe body 10 can be integrally formed with the vertical rod or detachably connected.

[0067] The pipe body 10 has an inlet part and an outlet part. The inlet part is provided with an inlet water flow channel 100. The outlet part is provided with at least one outlet water flow channel 200. The pipe body 10 can directly pass water, and can make full use of the inlet water flow channel 100 and at least one outlet water flow channel 200 surrounded by the pipe body 10 to guide the water to pass through. The shower system can also include at least one second water outlet unit (not shown). At least one second water outlet unit is in one-to-one correspondence and communication with at least one outlet water flow channel 200. The second water outlet unit can be, but is not limited to, a rain shower head, a handheld shower head, a handheld spray gun or a faucet. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the number of the outlet water flow channels 200 is one and can be in communication with the rain shower head. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the second water outlet unit is a rain shower head. The vertical rod includes the pipe body 10 having an inlet part and an outlet part, or rather the pipe body 10 is part of the vertical rod for supporting the rain shower head. That is, the shower system includes a vertical rod, a rain shower head and the water outlet device 20 arranged on the vertical rod. Among them, the pipe body 10 is integrally formed with the vertical rod. The outlet water flow channel 200 and the inlet water flow channel 100 can be arranged up and down along the pipe body 10, which is convenient for water to enter the pipe body 10 and flow to the rain shower head.

[0068] The water outlet device 20 includes a water outlet mechanism and a first water outlet unit 22 arranged on the water outlet mechanism. The water outlet mechanism is used to connect between the first water outlet unit 22 and a tubular water passing unit with a second water outlet unit to supply water to the first water outlet unit 22 and the second water outlet unit. The water passing unit includes the pipe body 10, a first installation connection part 62 and a second installation connection part 72, as Figure 12 shown; the pipe body 10 has an inlet part communicating with the first installation connection part 62 and an outlet part communicating with the second installation connection part 72, and the extending directions of the first installation connection part 62 and the second installation connection part 72 intersect with the axis of the pipe body 10. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the extending directions of the first installation connection part 62 and the second installation connection part 72 are perpendicular to the axis of the pipe body 10. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the extending directions of the first installation connection part 62 and the second installation connection part 72 can also form other intersection angles with the axis of the pipe body 10.

[0069] In an exemplary embodiment, the first installation connection part 62 and the second installation connection part 72 are formed on the pipe body 10 and can be integrally formed with the pipe body 10.

[0070] The water outlet mechanism has a first connection part 35 and a second connection part 36. The first connection part 35 is provided with a first flow-through channel 601, and the second connection part 36 is provided with a second flow-through channel 602. When the water outlet mechanism is installed on the pipe body 10 in the extending direction:

[0071] The first connection part 35 is connected to the first installation connection part 62 so that the first flow-through channel 601 communicates with the water inlet part, and the second connection part 36 is connected to the second installation connection part 72 so that the second flow-through channel 602 communicates with the water outlet part, so as to supply water to the first water outlet unit 22 through the first flow-through channel 601 and supply water to the second water outlet unit through the first flow-through channel 601 and the second flow-through channel 602.

[0072] The water outlet mechanism can be first installed on the pipe body 10, and then the first water outlet unit 22 is arranged on the water outlet mechanism.

[0073] The first water outlet unit 22 can also be first arranged on the water outlet mechanism and then installed on the pipe body 10 together with the water outlet mechanism, as Figure 12 shown. That is, when the water outlet device 20 is installed on the pipe body 10 in the extending direction:

[0074] The first connection part 35 is connected to the first installation connection part 62 so that the first flow-through channel 601 communicates with the water inlet part, and the second connection part 36 is connected to the second installation connection part 72 so that the second flow-through channel 602 communicates with the water outlet part, so as to supply water to the first water outlet unit 22 through the first flow-through channel 601 and supply water to the second water outlet unit through the first flow-through channel 601 and the second flow-through channel 602.

[0075] Implementing the embodiments of the present disclosure will have the following beneficial effects:

[0076] The water outlet mechanism of the above solution is applied to the water outlet device 20 and the shower system, which can avoid the inconvenience of installation with the pipe body 10 caused by the volume limitation of the pipe body 10 when the opening at the bottom of the pipe body 10 is placed inside the pipe body 10 and the need to insert the fittings into the pipe multiple times for installation. Specifically, the water outlet mechanism is used to connect between the first water outlet unit 22 and the tubular water passing unit with the second water outlet unit to supply water to the first water outlet unit 22 and the second water outlet unit. The pipe body 10 has an inlet part communicating with the first installation connection part 62 and an outlet part communicating with the second installation connection part 72, and the extending directions of the first installation connection part 62 and the second installation connection part 72 intersect with the axis of the pipe body 10. The water outlet mechanism has a first connection part 35 and a second connection part 36, and is respectively provided with a first flow passage 601 and a second flow passage 602. When the water outlet mechanism is installed on the pipe body 10 in the extending direction, the first connection part 35 and the second connection part 36 are respectively connected to the first installation connection part 62 and the second installation connection part 72, and the first flow passage 601 and the second flow passage 602 respectively communicate with the inlet part and the outlet part. During installation, the water outlet mechanism or the water outlet device 20 with the water outlet mechanism installed on the first water outlet unit 22 is installed on the pipe body 10 in the way of inserting in the extending direction, so that the first connection part 35 and the second connection part 36 are respectively connected to the first installation connection part 62 and the second installation connection part 72, and the first flow passage 601 and the second flow passage 602 respectively communicate with the inlet part and the outlet part to supply water to the first water outlet unit 22 and the second water outlet unit, thus avoiding the inconvenience and cumbersome steps of installation caused by the volume limitation of the pipe body 10 and the need to insert the fittings into the pipe body 10 multiple times.

[0077] In an exemplary embodiment, please also combine Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figures 4 to 9 to form a first flow space 401 and a second flow space 402 on the water outlet mechanism that communicate with the first flow passage 601. The first flow space 401 is used to guide the water flow to the first water outlet unit 22, and the second flow space 402 is used to guide the water flow to the second water outlet unit.

[0078] In some embodiments, the water outlet mechanism is integrally formed, such as by die casting, injection molding, welding, 3D printing and other methods.

[0079] In other embodiments, the water outlet mechanism includes a base 30 and a water passing component 21. The base 30 has a first connection part 35 and a second connection part 36.

[0080] The water passing component 21 is connected to the base 30, and the first flow space 401 and the second flow space 402 are formed between the water passing component 21 and the base 30.

[0081] The inventor of the present disclosure has found that the water path switching structure is generally arranged at a position convenient for hand operation. For example, when the water outlet device 20 is a shower pipe, the water path switching structure is generally arranged at a position roughly flush with the waist of the bather for convenient hand operation. After this position is occupied by the water path switching structure, the water outlet member 222 needs to be adjusted upward or downward along the water outlet device 20, and the cleaning requirement for side spraying at the waist of the bather cannot be met.

[0082] In an exemplary embodiment, please also combine Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figures 4 to 9 , the water passing component 21 is movably connected to the base 30. The first water outlet unit 22 has a water outlet channel 300, and the water outlet channel 300 communicates with the first water passing flow channel 601.

[0083] During the movement of the water passing component 21 relative to the base 30, the first water passing space 401 can be selectively communicated with or disconnected from the first water passing flow channel 601, and the second water passing space 402 can be selectively communicated between the first water passing flow channel 601 and the second water passing flow channel 602 or disconnected from the first water passing flow channel 601. In this way, by introducing water into the first water passing space 401 and / or the second water passing space 402, the water outlet states of the first water outlet unit 22 and the second water outlet unit are changed.

[0084] Among them, the movement mode of the water passing component 21 relative to the base 30 includes but is not limited to rotational movement, pressing movement, or toggling movement, etc.

[0085] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the water passing component 21 is rotatably connected to the base 30. The first water outlet unit 22 is arranged on the water passing component 21. In this way, while the water outlet device 20 has a water outlet function, water path switching can also be realized, avoiding the occupation of the space of the pipe body 10 by a separately arranged water path switching structure. Moreover, the water outlet device 20 is not affected by the water path switching structure, and the optional range of the installation position is larger, and thus some cleaning requirements can be better met.

[0086] As Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, when the water passing component 21 rotates by a first angle from the initial position, the water outlet channel 300 sequentially communicates with the first water passing space 401 and the first water passing flow channel 601 through the water inlet flow channel 100, and the first water outlet unit 22 discharges water; the second water passing space 402 is disconnected from the first water passing flow channel 601, and the second water outlet unit does not discharge water.

[0087] As Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the water passing component 21 rotates by a second angle again, the first water passing space 401 is disconnected from the first water passing channel 601, and the first water outlet unit 22 does not discharge water; the second water passing space 402 is communicated between the first water passing channel 601 and the second water passing channel 602, and the second water outlet unit discharges water.

[0088] The water passing component 21 can continue to rotate or rotate reversely to return to the initial position. At the initial position, both the water outlet channel 200 and the water outlet passage 300 are disconnected from the water inlet channel 100, and neither the first water outlet unit 22 nor the second water outlet unit discharges water.

[0089] It can be understood that in other embodiments, the water passing component 21 can rotate by a third angle again, the water outlet channel 200 and the water outlet passage 300 are both communicated with the water inlet channel 100, and both the first water outlet unit 22 and the second water outlet unit discharge water, as Figure 17 shown.

[0090] The first water outlet unit 22 can be a shower head, a spray gun or a faucet. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first water outlet unit 22 is a shower head, which has a disc-shaped structure. The water outlet passage 300 is arranged in the first water outlet unit 22, and a plurality of water outlet holes 301 can be formed in the disc-shaped structure. The first water outlet unit 22 is arranged to spray and wash the human body in a direction intersecting with the vertical direction.

[0091] The water passing component 21 is rotatably connected to the base 30. The water passing component 21 is provided with a first water passing space 401 and a second water passing space 402. The first water outlet unit 22 is arranged on the water passing component 21. The water outlet passage 300 is communicated with the first water passing space 401. The first water outlet unit 22 can rotate relative to the pipe body 10 together with the water passing component 21. The first water outlet unit 22 can also have a connection relationship with both the pipe body 10 and the water passing component 21, be fixedly connected to the pipe body 10, and be rotatably connected to the water passing component 21, so that during the rotation of the water passing component 21 relative to the pipe body 10, the first water outlet unit 22 does not rotate, ensuring the stability of the water outlet pattern and the water outlet angle of the first water outlet unit 22. At this time, it is necessary to ensure the rotational sealing between the first water outlet unit 22 and the water passing component 21, so as to ensure the stability of the communication between the water outlet passage 300 and the first water passing space 401.

[0092] The water passing component 21 and the first water outlet unit 22 can be integrally arranged. The water passing component 21 and the first water outlet unit 22 can also be detachably connected to facilitate the replacement of the type of the first water outlet unit 22.

[0093] In an exemplary embodiment, please also combine Figures 4 to 6 and Figure 8 , the first water outlet unit 22 includes a connecting member 221 and a water outlet member 222, and the water outlet member 222 is connected to the water passing component 21 through the connecting member 221.

[0094] The connection mode between the water outlet member 222 and the water passing component 21 through the connecting member 221 includes but is not limited to fixed connection, rotary connection or universal connection. Among them, the universal connection means that the water outlet member 222 can rotate and swing relative to the water passing component 21 in any direction through the connecting member 221. The water outlet channel 300 is arranged in the water outlet member 222. In this way, the water outlet member 222 can rotate and swing relative to the water passing component 21 (including but not limited to swinging up and down and swinging left and right) to change the water outlet direction and adjust the position of the water outlet landing point. The rotary connection means that the water outlet member 222 can rotate relative to the water passing component 21 along a set axis through the connecting member 221, such as rotating up and down along the axis in the set horizontal direction or rotating left and right along the axis in the set vertical direction to change the water outlet direction and adjust the position of the water outlet landing point. For example, the bather can adjust the water outlet direction of the water outlet member 222 according to his own height, change the position where the water acts on the bather, and improve the bathing experience.

[0095] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the connecting member 221 is a ball head. A threaded hole 302 is provided through the axis position of the ball head. The water outlet member 222 includes a body 2221 and a threaded post 2222 arranged on the body 2221. The body 2221 is in a disc shape. The threaded post 2222 can be threadedly connected to the ball head through the threaded hole 302 to be universally connected to the water passing component 21 through the ball head. The water outlet channel 300 passes through the threaded post 2222 and can form a water outlet cavity 303 communicating with the water outlet hole 301 in the body 2221. The number of the water outlet holes 301 is multiple, and the threaded post 2222 and the multiple water outlet holes 301 are respectively located on the opposite sides of the body 2221. A first sealing ring 231 is also arranged between the threaded post 2222 and the connecting member 221 to prevent water from flowing out between the threaded post 2222 and the connecting member 221. In order to improve the position stability of the first sealing ring 231, at least one of the threaded post 2222 and the connecting member 221 is also provided with a first positioning groove for installing the first sealing ring 231.

[0096] The water passing component 21 is provided with arc walls 211 that enclose to form an installation groove. The connecting piece 221 is installed in the installation groove and fits against the arc walls 211, and can rotate relative to the water passing component 21 in any direction under the restriction of the arc walls 211. A second sealing ring 232 is also provided between the connecting piece 221 and the arc walls 211 to ensure the sealing performance between the connecting piece 221 and the arc walls 211. Moreover, when the second sealing ring 232 is made of an elastomer material, the elastic deformation of the second sealing ring 232 can be utilized to increase the damping force of the connecting piece 221 rotating relative to the arc walls 211, and then the above-mentioned damping force can be utilized to maintain the water outlet direction of the water outlet piece 222. In order to improve the position stability of the second sealing ring 232, at least one of the connecting piece 221 and the arc walls 211 is also provided with a second positioning groove for installing the second sealing ring 232. Openings are respectively provided on the opposite sides of the arc walls 211. One of the openings faces the first flow-through space 401 side to be able to avoid the connection between the first flow-through space 401 and the water outlet channel 300; the other opening faces the body 2221 to facilitate the connection between the water outlet piece 222 and the connecting piece 221. Part of the connecting piece 221 is exposed outside the two openings, so that the connecting piece 221 is restricted by the arc walls 211 within a certain rotation range, improving the rotation stability, and also enabling the body 2221 to be far away from the openings, thereby forming sufficient space between the water passing component 21 and the body 2221 to facilitate the rotation and swing of the water outlet piece 222 relative to the water passing component 21.

[0097] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 6 shown, the arc walls 211 are of a split structure, including a first arc surface 2111 and a second arc surface 2112. The first arc surface 2111 and the second arc surface 2112 can be combined to form the arc walls 211. The first arc surface 2111 and the second arc surface 2112 can be separated to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the connecting piece 221 and expose the second positioning groove to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the second sealing ring 232.

[0098] In an exemplary embodiment, please also refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figures 7 to 9 and Figure 11 , the water outlet mechanism has a covering wall 212. The covering wall 212 houses and shields the water outlet piece 222 and has an opening 501 that exposes the water outlet surface of the water outlet piece 222 to optimize the shape of the water outlet device and improve the aesthetic appearance of the product. The covering wall 212 can enclose to form an accommodation space 500 and an opening 501 communicating with the accommodation space 500. The water outlet piece 222 is accommodated in the accommodation space 500 and is spaced apart from the covering wall 212, so that the water outlet piece 222 can rotate and swing in the accommodation space 500. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the covering wall 212 is located on the water passing component 21.

[0099] The water outlet channel 300 communicates with the mouth portion 501. The mouth portion 501 is arranged to have a space for driving the water outlet member 222 from outside the covering wall 212, facilitating the operation of the water outlet member 222 through this space to change the water outlet direction and adjust the position of the water outlet landing point. Moreover, in this way, the water outlet member 222 can also be protected by the arrangement of the covering wall 212, reducing the risk of the water outlet member 222 being accidentally touched, making the water outlet direction of the water outlet member 222 stable and preventing the water outlet direction from suddenly changing due to accidental touch, causing panic among bathers and the water outlet falling outside the bathing area.

[0100] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the water passing component 21 includes a switching component 213 and an operating portion 214. The covering wall 212 is located at the operating portion 214, such that the operating portion 214 can accommodate and shield the water outlet member 222 and has a mouth portion 501 exposing the water outlet surface of the water outlet member 222. The operating portion 214 is movably relative to the base 30 in an operable manner and is configured to form the external shape of the water outlet device 20.

[0101] The switching component 213 and the operating portion 214 are detachably connected to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the water outlet member 222. In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 , the circumferential outer side of the switching component 213 has a stepped shaft surface 2131. The operating portion 214 can be sleeved on the stepped shaft surface 2131 and matches with the small shaft section of the stepped shaft surface 2131 to ensure that the circumferential outer sides of the switching component 213 and the operating portion 214 are flush. The small shaft section of the stepped shaft surface 2131 is provided with a first anti-rotation portion 2132. The operating portion 214 is provided with a second anti-rotation portion 2141 that is anti-rotationally engaged with the first anti-rotation portion 2132. One of the first anti-rotation portion 2132 and the second anti-rotation portion 2141 is a convex structure, and the other has a groove structure. The operating portion 214 is sleeved on the stepped shaft surface 2131, such that the convex structure is received in the groove structure to form an anti-rotation fit.

[0102] It can be understood that in other embodiments, such as Figure 13 , Figures 15 to 20 , the circumferential outer side of the switching component 213 is not arranged in the form of the stepped shaft surface 2131. The switching component 213 is integrally sleeved inside the operating portion 214 and is shielded and protected by the operating portion 214. The outer side wall of the switching component 213 is provided with a first anti-rotation portion 2132. The operating portion 214 is provided with a second anti-rotation portion 2141 that is anti-rotationally engaged with the first anti-rotation portion 2132. One of the first anti-rotation portion 2132 and the second anti-rotation portion 2141 is a convex structure, and the other has a groove structure. The operating portion 214 is sleeved outside the switching component 213, such that the convex structure is received in the groove structure to form an anti-rotation fit.

[0103] Moreover, the anti-rotation cooperation between the first anti-rotation portion 2132 and the second anti-rotation portion 2141 can also play a positioning role, which can initially fix the positions of the operating portion 214 and the switching component 213, facilitating the subsequent connection of the operating portion 214 and the switching component 213 into an integral body by means of bonding or threaded connection, etc.

[0104] The switching component 213 is used to switch the communication state between the first current-carrying flow channel 601 and the second current-carrying flow channel 602. The switching component 213 can move relative to the base 30, and the movement modes include but are not limited to rotational movement, pressing movement, or toggling movement, etc. The operating portion 214 is used to drive the switching component 213 to move relative to the base 30. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the switching component 213 can be rotatably connected to the base 30, and the switching component 213 is provided with a first current-carrying space 401 and a second current-carrying space 402. Driven by the operating portion 214, the switching component 213 can rotate relative to the base 30.

[0105] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 shown, the water passing assembly 21 further includes a gland 215. The first arc surface 2111 is disposed on the switching component 213. The second arc surface 2112 is disposed on the gland 215. The gland 215 is detachably connected to the switching component 213, so that the first arc surface 2111 and the second arc surface 2112 can be combined to form an arc wall 211 to clamp the connecting member 221.

[0106] In an exemplary embodiment, please also refer to Figures 1 to 5 and Figures 7 to 11 , the base 30 is fixedly arranged on the pipe body 10. The water passing assembly 21 is rotatably connected to the base 30. Thus, through the setting of the base 30, the connection surface area between the pipe body 10 and the water passing assembly 21 can be increased, facilitating the connection between the water passing assembly 21 and the pipe body 10, and improving the rotational stability of the water passing assembly 21 relative to the pipe body 10. Moreover, the base 30 can extend the water inlet flow channel 100 and at least one water outlet flow channel 200 to the water passing assembly 21, facilitating the water passing assembly 21 to control the water path.

[0107] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the base 30 is arranged in the radial direction of the pipe body 10. A part of the base 30 is located inside the pipe body 10, increasing the connection surface area between the base 30 and the pipe body 10. Another part of the base 30 is located outside the pipe body 10 and is rotatably connected to the switching component 213.

[0108] In an exemplary embodiment, please also refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figures 6 to 11, the base 30 has a circumferential wall 31 and a connecting shaft 32 that are coaxially arranged. The water passing component 21 is sealed to the circumferential wall 31 and the connecting shaft 32 respectively. In this way, the connection surface area between the water passing component 21 and the base 30 can be further increased, and the connection stability can be improved. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the water passing component 21 is rotationally sealed to the circumferential wall 31 and the connecting shaft 32 respectively.

[0109] A third sealing ring 233 is further provided between the water passing component 21 and the circumferential wall 31 to ensure the sealing performance between the water passing component 21 and the circumferential wall 31. In order to improve the position stability of the third sealing ring 233, at least one of the water passing component 21 and the circumferential wall 31 is further provided with a third positioning groove for installing the third sealing ring 233.

[0110] A fourth sealing ring 234 is further provided between the water passing component 21 and the connecting shaft 32 to ensure the sealing performance between the water passing component 21 and the connecting shaft 32. In order to improve the position stability of the fourth sealing ring 234, at least one of the water passing component 21 and the connecting shaft 32 is further provided with a fourth positioning groove for installing the fourth sealing ring 234.

[0111] When the third sealing ring 233 and the fourth sealing ring 234 are made of an elastomer material, the elastic deformation of the third sealing ring 233 and the fourth sealing ring 234 can be utilized to increase the damping force of the water passing component 21 rotating relative to the base 30, and then the above damping force can be utilized to maintain the position stability of the water passing component 21 relative to the base 30.

[0112] Please also combine Figure 3 and Figure 11 , the base 30 is provided with a first limiting portion 33. The switching component 213 is provided with a second limiting portion 2133. During the rotation of the water passing component 21 relative to the base 30, the first limiting portion 33 can limit the rotation range of the second limiting portion 2133, and further limit the rotation range of the water passing component 21. By reducing the rotation range of the water passing component 21, the sensitivity of the water passing component 21 to water path control can be improved, and the efficiency of water path switching can be improved. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, both the first limiting portion 33 and the second limiting portion 2133 are protrusions. The number of the first limiting portions 33 is two, and they are arranged at intervals along the rotation path of the second limiting portion 2133. The switching component 213 is rotatably connected to the base 30, and the second limiting portion 2133 is placed between the two first limiting portions 33. In addition, at least one of the first limiting portion 33 and the second limiting portion 2133 can be made of an elastomer material as a whole or in part to play a buffering role when the first limiting portion 33 and the second limiting portion 2133 are in limiting contact, so as to avoid generating abnormal noises. For example, the second limiting portion 2133 can be a hollow structure made of an elastomer material.

[0113] The first connecting portion 35 and the second connecting portion 36 are located between the circumferential wall 31 and the connecting shaft 32 and penetrate through the base 30, so that the settings of the first flow-through channel 601 and the second flow-through channel 602 do not damage the connection surface between the water-passing component 21 and the base 30, and by using the seals between the water-passing component 21 and the circumferential wall 31 and the connecting shaft 32, it is avoided that the water entering the first flow-through channel 601 and the second flow-through channel 602 flows out between the water-passing component 21 and the circumferential wall 31 and between the water-passing component 21 and the connecting shaft 32, so that the water can flow into and out of the water-passing component 21 along a preset flow path.

[0114] In an exemplary embodiment, please also refer to Figure 3 and Figures 5 to 9 , the base 30 is further provided with a flow-through component 40. The flow-through component 40 is provided with a flow-through hole 700. The flow-through component 40 can be elastically clamped between the base 30 and the water-passing component 21, and the flow-through hole 700 communicates with the first flow-through channel 601. In this way, during the rotation of the water-passing component 21 relative to the base 30, the flow-through component 40 can slide relative to the water-passing component 21 to ensure the sealing performance with the water-passing component 21.

[0115] During the movement of the water-passing component 21 relative to the base 30, at least one of the first flow-through space 401 and the second flow-through space 402 can be selectively communicated with the flow-through hole 700.

[0116] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the water-passing component 21 is rotatably connected to the base 30. The first flow-through space 401 and the second flow-through space 402 can respectively form a first through-hole 4011 and a second through-hole 4021 in the switching member 213.

[0117] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, when the water-passing component 21 rotates by a first angle from the initial position, the flow-through hole 700 communicates with the first through-hole 4011, and the water enters the first flow-through space 401 through the flow-through hole 700 and the first through-hole 4011 and is discharged from the water outlet channel 300.

[0118] As Figure 8 shown, when the water-passing component 21 rotates by a second angle again, the flow-through hole 700 communicates with the second through-hole 4021, and the water enters the second flow-through space 402 through the flow-through hole 700 and the second through-hole 4021 and is discharged from the water outlet channel 200 through the second flow-through channel 602.

[0119] In the disclosed embodiment, the base 30 is provided with an enclosing wall 34 that can enclose a positioning space. The enclosing wall 34 is located in the space enclosed by the circumferential wall 31. The flow component 40 is installed in the positioning space to ensure the stability of the position of the flow component 40. There is a liquid outlet space 800 between the enclosing wall 34 and the circumferential wall 31. The first flow channel 601 is connected to the positioning space. The second flow channel 602 is connected to the liquid outlet space 800.

[0120] The first through hole 4011 faces the base 30, and because the water outlet channel 300 is located on the side of the switching component 213 away from the flow hole 700, the flow area of ​​the first through hole 4011 is relatively small, which is conducive to the switching component 213 using its own structure to limit the flow of water to the water outlet channel 300. The first flow space 401 is configured as a flow channel with an inlet and outlet. The first through hole 4011 is located at one end of the first flow space 401 facing the base 30, such as Figure 5 and Figure 15 The first flow space 401 has a first opening 4012 (as shown in FIG. 1 ) at one end away from the base 30 and connected to the water outlet channel 300. Figure 6 , Figure 15 , Figure 16 and Figure 20 As shown), so that the water flows into the switching component 213 from the side facing the base 30, and then flows to the water outlet channel 300 located on the side of the switching component 213 away from the base 30, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 and Figure 15 The first opening 4012 and the first via hole 4011 may be staggered along the radial direction of the switching component 213, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 , Figure 16 and Figure 20 As shown, water entering the first flow space 401 can quickly flow to the water outlet channel 300 .

[0121] In some embodiments, the second through hole 4021 faces the base 30, and because the water outlet channel 200 and the flow hole 700 are located on the same side of the switching component 213, the flow area of ​​the second through hole 4021 is relatively large to ensure that the second through hole 4021 can be connected to the flow hole 700 and the water outlet channel 200 at the same time. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the second through hole 4021 and the water outlet channel 200 can be connected to the water outlet channel 200 through the liquid outlet space 800 and the second flow channel 602 in turn. The second flow space 402 is configured in the form of a guide blind groove structure. The second through hole 4021 is located at one end of the second flow space 402 facing the base 30, such as Figure 8 and Figure 11As shown, the opening area of the second via hole 4021 is larger than that of the flow-through hole 700, such that when the second via hole 4021 communicates with the flow-through hole 700, a part of the area is exposed outside the flow-through hole 700 and remains open. The open part of the second via hole 4021 is in communication with the liquid outlet space 800 on the same side as the switching member 213. Therefore, the water in the flow-through hole 700 can flow out from the same side of the switching member 213 via the open part of the second via hole 4021 after entering the second flow-through space 402, enter the liquid outlet space 800 of the base 30, and then flow to the second flow-through channel 602.

[0122] In some other embodiments, as Figures 18 to 20 shown, the second flow-through space 402 is arranged in the structural form of a channel with an inlet and an outlet. The second via hole 4021 is located at one end of the second flow-through space 402 facing the base 30. The second flow-through space 402 is further provided with a second opening 4022 facing the base 30, as Figure 16 、 Figure 18 and Figure 20 shown. Therefore, the second opening 4022 communicates with the liquid outlet space 800 on the same side as the switching member 213. The second opening 4022 and the second via hole 4021 are arranged at intervals and can be staggered along the circumferential direction of the switching member 213, as Figure 16 、 Figure 18 and Figure 20 shown. Moreover, the circumferential spacing between the second opening 4022 and the second flow-through channel 602 is smaller than the circumferential spacing between the second via hole 4021 and the second flow-through channel 602, so as to facilitate the water in the second flow-through space 402 to quickly flow into the second flow-through channel 602. In this way, when the second via hole 4021 communicates with the flow-through hole 700, the water flows through the second via hole 4021 into the second flow-through space 402, then enters the liquid outlet space 800 through the second opening 4022, and then flows to the second flow-through channel 602. Compared with the foregoing embodiments, in this embodiment, the area of the second opening 4022 can be set relatively large, and the channel form of the second flow-through space 402 makes the fluidity of the water better, which is beneficial to increasing the water flow rate of the second flow-through space 402, and thus beneficial to increasing the water flow rate of the water outlet channel 200. Moreover, the area of the second via hole 4021 can be smaller than the area of the flow-through hole 700, that is, the area of the flow-through hole 700 is relatively large, which is convenient for the flow-through hole 700 to communicate with the first via hole 4011 and the second via hole 4021 at the same time, so that the first water outlet unit 22 and the second water outlet unit can discharge water together, as Figure 17 shown. Please also refer to Figure 16 、 Figure 17 and Figure 19 shown. When the water passing component 21 rotates by a first angle from the initial position, the flow-through hole 700 only communicates with the first via hole 4011, and only the first water outlet unit 22 discharges water, as Figure 16As shown; the water passing component 21 continues to rotate by a second angle, and the flow through hole 700 is simultaneously communicated with the first through hole 4011 and the second through hole 4021, and both the first water outlet unit 22 and the second water outlet unit discharge water, as Figure 17 shown; the water passing component 21 continues to rotate by a third angle, and the flow through hole 700 is only communicated with the second through hole 4021, and only the second water outlet unit discharges water, as Figure 19 shown.

[0123] In an exemplary embodiment, please also combine Figure 3 and Figures 5 to 9 , the flow through component 40 includes an elastic member 41 and a flexible member 42. The elastic member 41 can be supported between the base 30 and the flexible member 42, and elastically abut the flexible member 42 against the switching member 213. The flow through hole 700 is located in the flexible member 42. Through its own elastic deformation, the flexible member 42 can better fit the switching member 213, ensuring a tight fit between the flow through component 40 and the switching member 213. The elastic member 41 is supported between the base 30 and the flexible member 42 to further enhance the elastic abutting force of the flexible member 42 acting on the switching member 213, thereby further ensuring a tight fit between the flow through component 40 and the switching member 213, ensuring the reliability of the subsequent communication between the flow through hole 700 and the first through hole 4011 and the second through hole 4021, and ensuring the stability of the water path switching. The flexible member 42 can be made of, but is not limited to, an elastomeric material. The elastic member 41 can be, but is not limited to, a metal spring member or a plastic spring. To ensure the stability of the support for the flexible member 42, the number of elastic members 41 can be multiple. The elastic members 41 are arranged in the positioning space, and the flexible member 42 is partially received in the positioning space, so that the expansion and contraction of the elastic members 41 have a certain directionality, and the connection surface area between the flexible member 42 and the base 30 can be increased, and the connection stability between the flexible member 42 and the base 30 can be increased.

[0124] A receiving groove 900 is provided on the side of the flexible member 42 facing away from the switching member 213, and a part of the elastic member 41 is received in the receiving groove 900 to be able to increase the connection stability between the elastic member 41 and the flexible member 42. An arc-shaped protrusion 421 is provided on the circumferential outer side of the flexible member 42, and the arc-shaped protrusion 421 abuts against the surrounding wall 34. Thus, under the action of the flexible member 42, the arc-shaped protrusion 421 can more closely fit the surrounding wall 34, ensuring that the flexible member 42 is more stably installed in the positioning space.

[0125] In an exemplary embodiment, please also combine Figures 4 to 6 and Figure 8, the water outlet mechanism further includes a connection component 50. The water passing component 21 is connected to the connection shaft 32 through the connection component 50, and the water passing component 21 is clamped between the base 30 and the connection component 50. In this way, the connection component 50 can ensure the connection stability between the water passing component 21 and the base 30, and can cooperate with the base 30 to limit the position of the water passing component 21, thereby ensuring the sealing stability between the water passing component 21 and the circumferential wall 31 and the connection shaft 32. The connection component 50 can move relative to the connection shaft 32 to adjust the clamping force of the base 30 and the connection component 50 on the water passing component 21 and adjust the clamping force of the base 30 and the switching component 213 on the flow-through component 40. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the water passing component 21 is rotatably connected to the connection shaft 32 through the connection component 50.

[0126] The connection component 50 includes a screw 51 and a gasket 52. The screw 51 is threadedly connected to the connection shaft 32. The gasket 52 is sleeved on the screw 51. Driven by the screw 51, the gasket 52 can abut against the connection shaft 32 and cooperate with the base 30 to clamp the water passing component 21.

[0127] In an exemplary embodiment, please also combine Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 , the water passing unit further includes:

[0128] An inlet joint 60 having a first installation connection portion 62, which is placed in the inlet portion in a manner that can be inserted relative to the inlet portion; and

[0129] An outlet joint 70 having a second installation connection portion 72, which is placed in the outlet portion in a manner that can be inserted relative to the outlet portion.

[0130] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the pipe body 10 also has an installation hole 1001 between the inlet portion and the outlet portion. The inlet joint 60 is placed in the inlet portion through the installation hole 1001, and the outlet joint 70 is placed in the outlet portion through the installation hole 1001. The length of the installation hole 1001 along the axis direction of the pipe body 10 is less than the sum of the lengths of the inlet joint 60 and the outlet joint 70 in the axis direction.

[0131] The pipe body 10 also has an installation space 1000 between the inlet portion and the outlet portion. The installation hole 1001 is communicated with the installation space 1000. The inlet joint 60 also has a first pipe body connection portion 61 provided on the first installation connection portion 62. The inlet joint 60 enters the installation space 1000 through the installation hole 1001 and is placed in the inlet portion in a manner that can be inserted relative to the inlet portion and is connected and communicated with the inlet portion through the first pipe body connection portion 61.

[0132] The water outlet connector 70 also has a second pipe body connection portion 71 arranged on the second installation connection portion 72. The water outlet connector 70 enters the installation space 1000 through the installation hole 1001 and is placed into the water outlet portion in a manner that it can be installed relative to the water outlet portion and is connected and communicated with the water outlet portion through the second pipe body connection portion 71.

[0133] The first mounting coupling portion 62 is connected to the first coupling portion 35 , and the second mounting coupling portion 72 is connected to the second coupling portion 36 , so that the second mounting coupling portion 72 can receive water via the first coupling portion 35 and the first water outlet unit 22 .

[0134] After the water inlet joint 60 and the water outlet joint 70 are respectively placed in the water inlet part and the water outlet part, the installation space 1000 can be disconnected from the water inlet part and the water outlet part respectively. The base 30 matches the installation hole 1001 and is partially installed in the installation space 1000. The base 30 is connected to the water inlet channel 100 through the water inlet joint 60, and the base 30 is connected to at least one water outlet channel 200 through the water outlet joint 70. In this way, the installation space 1000 can be sealed by the arrangement of the water inlet joint 60 and the water outlet joint 70 to prevent water from entering the installation space 1000 and affecting the installation of the base 30. In addition, the water inlet joint 60 and the water outlet joint 70 can introduce water into and out of the base 30, restrict the direction of water flow, and reduce the difficulty of the base 30 sealing the tube body 10.

[0135] In other embodiments, the first mounting coupling portion 62 and the second mounting coupling portion 72 may also be integrally formed with the pipe body 10. For example, the pipe body 10 further has an installation space 1000 between the water inlet portion and the water outlet portion and a mounting hole 1001 communicating with the installation space 1000. The first mounting coupling portion 62 and the second mounting coupling portion 72 are located at the installation space 1000 and disconnect the water inlet portion from the water outlet portion. The first mounting coupling portion 62 is communicated with the water inlet portion, and the second mounting coupling portion 72 is communicated with the water outlet portion. The base 30 is configured to be installed at the installation space 1000 through the mounting hole 1001, and to be docked and communicated with the first mounting coupling portion 62 and the second mounting coupling portion 72.

[0136] In the exemplary embodiment, please combine Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 10 The base 30 further includes a shell 37. When the water outlet mechanism is installed on the pipe body 10, the shell 37 is attached to the pipe body 10 and covers the mounting hole 1001, so that the water outlet device 20 does not need to add other accessories to cover the mounting hole 1001.

[0137] In the exemplary embodiment, please combine Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 10, the pipe body 10 is provided with a connection hole 1002 communicating with the installation space 1000, and the connection hole 1002 and the installation hole 1001 are arranged on the pipe body 10 in opposite directions along the first direction. Wherein, the first direction is parallel to Figure 5 and Figure 8 the direction indicated by the arrow X in

[0138] The first installation and connection part 62 is provided with a first insertion hole 1100 communicating with the water inlet channel 100, and the first insertion hole 1100 and the installation hole 1001 are arranged opposite to each other along the first direction. The second installation and connection part 72 is provided with a second insertion hole 1200 communicating with the water outlet channel 200, and the second insertion hole 1200 and the installation hole 1001 are arranged opposite to each other along the first direction.

[0139] The water outlet device 20 further includes a fastener 80. The fastener 80 passes through the connection hole 1002 to fasten the pipe body 10 and the base 30, so that the base 30 covers the installation hole 1001 along the first direction, and the first connection part 35 and the second connection part 36 are respectively inserted into the first insertion hole 1100 and the second insertion hole 1200. Thus, through the arrangement of the fastener 80, on the one hand, the pipe body 10 and the base 30 can be fastened, and on the other hand, the first connection part 35 and the second connection part 36 can be respectively inserted into the first insertion hole 1100 and the second insertion hole 1200, so that the first flow-through channel 601 communicates with the water inlet channel 100, and at least one second flow-through channel 602 communicates with at least one water outlet channel 200 in a one-to-one correspondence, thereby improving the assembly efficiency. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the fastener 80 is a threaded part and can be threadedly connected to the connecting shaft 32 to fasten the pipe body 10 and the base 30. A fifth sealing ring 235 is further arranged between the first connection part 35 and the water inlet joint 60 to improve the sealing performance between the first connection part 35 and the water inlet joint 60. A sixth sealing ring 236 is further arranged between the second connection part 36 and the water outlet joint 70 to improve the sealing performance between the second connection part 36 and the water outlet joint 70.

[0140] In an exemplary embodiment, the number of the water outlet devices 20 is one, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 14 shown.

[0141] In other embodiments, the number of the water outlet devices 20 is multiple, such as two, three (as shown in Figure 21 shown), four or more. The multiple water outlet devices 20 are arranged along the length direction of the vertical rod. The user can operate each water outlet device 20 to select different water outlet positions, and the water outlet device 20 can discharge water individually or multiple water outlet devices can discharge water simultaneously, which is convenient for meeting the cleaning needs of users with different heights and greatly enriches the water outlet selection mode of the shower system, and is beneficial to meeting the different needs of different users.

[0142] For example, taking a shower as an example, each water outlet device 20 can have three water outlet states: only the first water outlet unit 22 discharges water, both the first water outlet unit 22 and the second water outlet unit discharge water, and only the second water outlet unit discharges water. When in use, the user can adjust one or more water outlet devices 20 from bottom to top according to their own needs.

[0143] When the user adjusts the lowermost water outlet device 20 to only the first water outlet unit 22 discharging water, only the lowermost first water outlet unit 22 discharges water. When the user adjusts the lowermost water outlet device 20 to both the first water outlet unit 22 and the second water outlet unit being able to discharge water (abbreviated as the dual water outlet state), the lowermost first water outlet unit 22 discharges water, and another stream of water continues to flow upward. When the user adjusts the lowermost water outlet device 20 to only the second water outlet unit discharging water, the lowermost first water outlet unit 22 does not discharge water, and the water continues to flow upward.

[0144] When there is water continuing to flow upward, the user can select the water outlet state of the second (counting from bottom to top in order) water outlet device 20 according to their own needs. When the user adjusts the second water outlet device 20 to only the first water outlet unit 22 discharging water, the first water outlet unit 22 of the second water outlet device 20 discharges water. When the user adjusts the second water outlet device 20 to both the first water outlet unit 22 and the second water outlet unit being able to discharge water, the first water outlet unit 22 of the second water outlet device 20 discharges water, and another stream of water continues to flow upward. When the user adjusts the second water outlet device 20 to only the second water outlet unit discharging water, the first water outlet unit 22 of the second water outlet device 20 does not discharge water, and the water continues to flow upward.

[0145] And so on. When the uppermost water outlet device 20 is adjusted to the dual water outlet state or only the second water outlet unit discharging water, the overhead shower can discharge water. Therefore, the user can select any one or more water outlet devices 20 to discharge water according to their own needs, and can freely match with the overhead shower, which is convenient for meeting different needs of the user and is beneficial to improving the user experience.
