Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of water tank technology, and in particular to a multifunctional water outlet device and a multifunctional water tank. Background Technology

[0002] To meet the different water discharge functions of the water discharge device, the water discharge device usually includes a variety of water discharge components. Different water discharge components are connected to the main water inlet pipe through different pipes, which results in a large number of pipes in the water discharge device and a relatively complicated pipeline. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a multi-functional water outlet device and a multi-functional water tank, which can reduce the number of pipes in the multi-functional water outlet device and improve the relatively messy piping in the multi-functional water outlet device.

[0004] The embodiments of this application are implemented through the following technical solutions.

[0005] The first aspect of this application provides a multifunctional water outlet device, comprising: a first water outlet component, the first water outlet component including a first switch component, a first water inlet, at least two connecting ports, and a first water outlet, the at least two connecting ports including a first connecting port and a second connecting port; a second water outlet component, the second water outlet component including a second switch component, a second water inlet, and a second water outlet; and an inlet pipe connected to the first water inlet; wherein, when the first switch component is open, the first connecting port connects the first water inlet and the first water outlet; when both the first and second switch components are open, fluid flows in from the inlet pipe and sequentially flows through the first water inlet and the first connecting port, and flows out from the first water outlet; when the first switch component is closed, the first connecting port is isolated from the first water outlet; when both the first and second switch components are closed, the second connecting port connects the first water inlet and the second water inlet, fluid flows in from the inlet pipe and sequentially flows through the first water inlet, the second connecting port, and the second water inlet, and flows out from the second water outlet.

[0006] In some embodiments, the first water outlet component includes a water circuit connector, which includes a main channel, a first channel, and a second channel. The main channel has a first inlet, the first channel has a first connecting port, and the second channel has a second connecting port. When the first switch component is open and the second switch component is open, the main channel and the first channel are connected, and the internal channels of the main channel and the internal channels of the first channel are connected to the first inlet and the first connecting port. When the first switch component is closed and the second switch component is open, the main channel and the second channel are connected, and the internal channels of the main channel and the internal channels of the second channel are connected to the first inlet and the second connecting port.

[0007] In some embodiments, the multifunctional water outlet device further includes a water path switching component disposed within a water path connecting component. When the first switch component is open and the second switch component is open, the first channel connects the main channel and the first water outlet. When the first switch component is closed and the second switch component is open, the water path switching component moves, and the second channel connects the main channel and the second connecting port.

[0008] In some embodiments, the main channel, the first channel, and the second channel converge at the same point, and the waterway switching component is located at the convergence point.

[0009] In some embodiments, the water circuit switching component includes a first blocking part located in a first channel, a second blocking part located in a second channel, and a connecting part connecting the first blocking part and the second blocking part. When the first switch assembly is open and the second switch assembly is open, the second blocking part blocks the connection between the second channel and the main channel, and the first channel is connected to the main channel. When the first switch assembly is closed and the second switch assembly is open, under the action of the hydraulic pressure difference, the water circuit switching component can move in the direction from the first channel to the second channel, and the second channel is connected to the main channel.

[0010] In some embodiments, the area of ​​the first sealing portion is larger than the area of ​​the second sealing portion in a plane perpendicular to the flow direction of the fluid.

[0011] In some embodiments, the multifunctional water outlet device includes a third water outlet component, which includes a third switch component, a third inlet, and a third outlet. At least two connecting ports also include a third connecting port. When the second switch component is open and the third switch component is open, the third connecting port connects the first inlet and the third inlet. Fluid flows in from the inlet pipe and flows sequentially through the first inlet, the third connecting port, and the third inlet, and then flows out from the third outlet.

[0012] In some embodiments, the first channel includes a main channel section, a first channel segment, and a second channel segment. The first channel segment has a first connecting port, and the second channel segment has a third connecting port. The multi-functional water outlet device also includes a water path switching component, which is disposed within the water path connecting component, with a portion of the water path switching component located in the main channel section.

[0013] In some embodiments, the multi-functional water outlet device includes a connecting pipe that connects to a second connecting port and a second water inlet.

[0014] In some embodiments, the multi-functional water outlet device includes: a cold water inlet pipe; a hot water inlet pipe; a second switch assembly that is turned on, wherein at least one of the cold water inlet pipe and the hot water inlet pipe is connected to the water inlet pipe, and the second switch assembly is capable of adjusting the ratio of the flow rate of hot water to the flow rate of cold water entering the water inlet pipe.

[0015] In some embodiments, the first water outlet component includes a waterfall-style rain shower component or a cup washer, and / or the second water outlet component includes a faucet component.

[0016] The second aspect of this application provides a multifunctional sink, which includes the multifunctional water outlet device and sink component of the first aspect of this application. A first water outlet component is disposed on the sink component, and the first water outlet of the first water outlet component faces the sink cavity of the sink component. A second water outlet component is disposed on the sink component, and the second water outlet of the second water outlet component faces the sink cavity of the sink component.

[0017] When both the first and second switch components are open, the first connecting port connects the first inlet and the first outlet, allowing fluid to flow in from the inlet pipe and sequentially through the first inlet and the first connecting port before exiting from the first outlet. When both the first and second switch components are closed, the second connecting port connects the first and second inlets, allowing fluid to flow in from the inlet pipe and sequentially through the first inlet, the second connecting port, and the second outlet before exiting from the second outlet. Therefore, at least two outlet components can be connected to both the cold and hot water pipes using the same inlet pipe. Compared to connecting different outlet components to the inlet pipe via different pipes, this application uses fewer pipes, which improves the appearance of cluttered pipes, enhances pipe neatness, and saves costs for the user.

[0027] Below, refer to Figures 1 to 10 Some embodiments of this application will be described in detail.

[0028] In the description of the embodiments of this application, for ease of explanation, the direction of arrow X represents the "first direction," the direction of arrow Y represents the "second direction," and the direction of arrow Z represents the "third direction." In some embodiments, the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z intersect each other but are not coplanar. Further, the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other. In some embodiments, the first direction X may be parallel to the direction of gravity.

[0029] In this application, the direction of fluid flow is indicated by a dashed line with an arrow, wherein the arrow points in the same direction as the fluid flow.

[0030] The first aspect of this application provides a multifunctional water outlet device, such as... Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the multi-functional water outlet device includes a first water outlet assembly 1, a second water outlet assembly 2, and an inlet pipe 5. The first water outlet assembly 1 includes a first switch assembly 11, a first inlet 12, at least two connecting ports, and a first outlet 14. The at least two connecting ports include a first connecting port 131 and a second connecting port 132. The second water outlet assembly 2 includes a second switch assembly 21, a second inlet, and a second outlet 23. The inlet pipe 5 is connected to the first inlet 12. Wherein, as... Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, when the first switch assembly 11 is open, the first connecting port 131 connects the first inlet 12 and the first outlet 14. When both the first switch assembly 11 and the second switch assembly 21 are open, fluid flows in from the inlet pipe 5 and sequentially passes through the first inlet 12 and the first connecting port 131, and flows out from the first outlet 14. Figure 2 or Figure 4 and Figure 9As shown, when the first switch assembly 11 is in use, the first connection port 131 is isolated from the first outlet port 14. When the first switch assembly 11 is closed and the second switch assembly 21 is open, the second connection port 132 connects the first inlet port 12 and the second inlet port. Fluid flows in from the inlet pipe 5 and flows sequentially through the first inlet port 12, the second connection port 132 and the second inlet port, and flows out from the second outlet port 23.

[0031] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a multi-functional water outlet device is disposed on the water tank component 4. Furthermore, a first water outlet component 1 is disposed on the water tank component 4, and a second water outlet component 2 is disposed on the water tank component 4.

[0032] In some embodiments, the first water outlet component 1 includes a first switch component 11, a first water inlet 12, at least two connecting ports and a first water outlet 14, and the second water outlet component 2 includes a second switch component 21, a second water inlet and a second water outlet 23. The water inlet pipe 5 is connected to the first water inlet 12, and the first connecting port 131 of the at least two connecting ports can be connected to the first water outlet 14, and the second connecting port 132 of the at least two connecting ports can be connected to the second water inlet.

[0033] In this application, the water inlet pipe 5 can be directly connected to the first water inlet 12, and there may be no other water pipe between the water inlet pipe 5 and the first water inlet 12.

[0034] In some embodiments, when the first switch assembly 11 is open, the first connection port 131 is connected to the first outlet port 14; when the first switch assembly 11 is closed, the first connection port 131 is isolated from the first outlet port 14. Isolation of the first connection port 131 from the first outlet port 14 means that the communication channel between the first connection port 131 and the first outlet port 14 is cut off or blocked, or that the first outlet port 14 is closed, or that the first connection port 131 is closed.

[0035] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 or Figure 4 , Figures 6 to 8 As shown, when the first switch assembly 11 is open and the second switch assembly 21 is open, the second connecting port 132 is closed, fluid flows in from the inlet pipe 5 and to the first inlet 12, then to the first connecting port 131, and flows out from the first outlet 14; Figure 2 or Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 As shown, when the first switch assembly 11 is closed and the second switch assembly 21 is open, the first connection port 131 is closed, the fluid flows in from the water inlet pipe 5, and flows through the first water inlet 12, the second connection port 132, and the second water inlet in sequence, and flows out from the second water outlet 23.

[0036] The closure of the second connection port 132 can refer to the second connection port 132 itself being closed, or it can refer to the passage between the second connection port 132 and the first inlet port 12 being blocked.

[0037] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first water outlet component 1 and the second water outlet component 2 can be installed on the water tank component 4.

[0038] In some embodiments, the sink component 4 may include a sink body 41 and a sink extension wall 43. The sink body 41 has a sink opening 42. The sink extension wall 43 is connected to the outside of the sink body 41. A second water outlet component 2 is installed on the sink extension wall 43. The second water outlet 23 of the second water outlet component 2 may face the sink opening 42. Furthermore, the sink extension wall 43 is connected to one end of the sink body 41 that forms the sink opening 42. The user can wash items inside the sink body 41 through the sink opening 42.

[0039] In some embodiments, the first water outlet assembly 1 can be installed on the side wall of the water tank body 41, and the first water outlet 14 of the first water outlet assembly 1 can face inward towards the water tank body 41. Of course, the first water outlet assembly 1 can also be installed on the water tank extension wall 43.

[0040] Optionally, the first water outlet component 1 may include a cup washer, a waterfall shower assembly, a regular faucet, or a pull-out faucet, etc. Optionally, the second water outlet component 2 may include a regular faucet, a pull-out faucet, a cup washer, or a waterfall shower assembly, etc. In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the multi-functional water outlet device may include a first water outlet component 1 and a second water outlet component 2. The first water outlet component 1 may include any one of a cup washer or a waterfall-style spray assembly, and the second water outlet component 2 may include any one of a regular faucet or a pull-out faucet. In other embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the multi-functional water outlet device may include a first water outlet component 1, a second water outlet component 2, and a third water outlet component 3. The first water outlet component 1 may include any one of a cup washer or a waterfall-style spray water component, the second water outlet component 2 may include any one of a regular faucet or a pull-out faucet, and the third water outlet component 3 may include any other one of a cup washer, a spray water component, or a waterfall-style water outlet component. Of course, the third water outlet component 3 may also have other water outlet methods. It should be noted that the multi-functional water outlet device in this application can be applied not only to water outlet devices in bathrooms, but also to water outlet devices in outdoor, public facilities, and laboratories.

[0041] In some embodiments, the multifunctional water outlet device includes a connecting pipe 6, which can connect to a second connecting port 132 and a second water inlet, allowing fluid to flow from the second connecting port 132 to the connecting pipe 6 and then to the second water inlet.

[0042] In some embodiments, a gravity ball is provided on the connecting pipe 6, and the portion of the connecting pipe 6 that is connected and close to the second inlet can move along the first direction X.

[0043] In some embodiments, the fluid may include water.

[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 or Figure 4 As shown, the multi-functional water outlet device may include a cold water inlet pipe 81 and a hot water inlet pipe 82. Both the cold water inlet pipe 81 and the hot water inlet pipe 82 are connected to the inlet pipe 5. Cold water and hot water are mixed in the inlet pipe 5, and the mixed cold water and hot water flow into the first inlet 12. Of course, only cold water or only hot water can flow into the first inlet 12.

[0045] In some embodiments, the second switching assembly 21 can control whether cold water and / or hot water can enter the inlet pipe 5. For example, when the second switching assembly 21 is open, cold water and / or hot water enter the inlet pipe 5; when the second switching assembly 21 is closed, cold water and / or hot water cannot enter the inlet pipe 5. Furthermore, the second switching assembly 21 can control the ratio of cold water to hot water entering the inlet pipe 5. Furthermore, the second switching assembly 21 can control the flow rate of the fluid entering the inlet pipe 5.

[0046] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 or Figure 4 As shown, the second water outlet assembly 2 includes a water outlet body 24, a second water outlet 23 disposed on the water outlet body 24, wherein the second switch assembly 21 can be connected to the water outlet body 24, and the connection points between the cold water inlet pipe 81 and the hot water inlet pipe 82 and the water inlet pipe 5 can be located inside the water outlet body 24. In other embodiments, the second switch assembly 21 can be separately disposed from the water outlet body 24, and the second switch assembly 21 can be an independent switch independently of the water outlet body 24 that controls whether water can flow to the water inlet pipe 5. In the above embodiments, the second switch assembly 21 is connected to the water outlet body 24 as an example for illustration.

[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 or Figure 4 , Figures 5 to 8 As shown, when the second switch assembly 21 is opened, fluid enters the inlet pipe 5 and flows into the first inlet 12. When the first switch assembly 11 is opened, the first connecting port 131 connects the first inlet 12 and the first outlet 14, and the fluid flows out from the first outlet 14.

[0048] In other embodiments, such as Figure 2 or Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, when the second switch assembly 21 is opened, the fluid enters the inlet pipe 5 and flows into the first inlet 12. When the first switch assembly 11 is closed, the first inlet 12 and the second connecting port 132 are connected. After the fluid flows out from the second connecting port 132, it flows through the connecting pipe 6 to the second inlet and then to the second outlet 23, where it flows out.

[0049] In some embodiments, the multifunctional water outlet device includes a water path switching component 7, which is disposed on the first water outlet assembly 1. The water path switching component 7 can disconnect or connect the second connecting port 132 and the first water inlet 12. Figure 2 or Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, when the first switch assembly 11 is opened, the water circuit switching component 7 blocks the channel between the first water inlet 12 and the second connecting port 132, and the channel between the first water inlet 12 and the first connecting port 131 is in a connected state; as Figure 2 or Figure 4 , Figure 9 As shown, the first switch assembly 11 is closed and the second switch assembly 21 is open, and the channel between the first water inlet 12 and the second connecting port 132 is in a connected state.

[0050] Optionally, the number of connection ports can be two or more. For example... Figure 7 As shown, when there are two connecting ports, one connecting port can connect the first inlet 12 and the first outlet 14, and the other connecting port can connect the first inlet 12 and the second inlet; as shown Figure 10 As shown, when there are two or more connecting ports, one connecting port can connect the first inlet 12 and the first outlet 14, another connecting port can connect the first inlet 12 and the second inlet, and yet another connecting port can connect the first inlet 12 to the inlet of other outlet components (e.g., the third outlet component 3) (e.g., the third inlet 32).

[0051] When the first switch assembly 11 is open and the second switch assembly 21 is open, the first connecting port 131 connects the first inlet 12 and the first outlet 14. Fluid flows in from the inlet pipe 5 and sequentially through the first inlet 12 and the first connecting port 131, and flows out from the first outlet 14. When the first switch assembly 11 is closed and the second switch assembly 21 is open, the second connecting port 132 connects the first inlet 12 and the second inlet. Fluid flows in from the inlet pipe 5 and sequentially through the first inlet 12, the second connecting port 132 and the second inlet, and flows out from the second outlet 23. Therefore, at least two outlet assemblies can be connected to the cold water pipe and the hot water pipe using the same inlet pipe 5. Compared with different outlet assemblies being connected to the inlet pipe 5 through different pipes, the number of pipes in this application is less, which can improve the phenomenon of multiple messy pipes, improve the cleanliness of the pipes, and save costs for users.

[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figures 6 to 10 As shown, the first water outlet component 1 includes a water channel connector 15, which includes a main channel 150, a first channel 151, and a second channel 152. The main channel 150 has a first inlet 12, the first channel 151 has a first connecting port 131, and the second channel 152 has a second connecting port 132. When the first switch component 11 is open and the second switch component 21 is open, the main channel 150 and the first channel 151 are connected, and the internal channels of the main channel 150 and the first channel 151 are connected to the first inlet 12 and the first connecting port 131. When the first switch component 11 is closed and the second switch component 21 is open, the main channel 150 and the second channel 152 are connected, and the internal channels of the main channel 150 and the second channel 152 are connected to the first inlet 12 and the second connecting port 132.

[0053] In some embodiments, when the first switch assembly 11 is open and the second switch assembly 21 is open, the first channel 151 connects the main channel 150 and the first outlet 14; when the first switch assembly 11 is closed and the second switch assembly 21 is open, the second channel 152 connects the main channel 150 and the second inlet.

[0054] In some embodiments, such as Figures 6 to 8 As shown, when the first switch assembly 11 is open and the second switch assembly 21 is open, the fluid flows from the first inlet 12 into the main channel 150, then into the first channel 151, then to the first connecting port 131 of the first channel 151, and then to the first outlet 14.

[0055] In other embodiments, such as Figure 9As shown, when the first switch assembly 11 is closed and the second switch assembly 21 is open, the fluid flows from the first inlet 12 into the main channel 150, then into the second channel 152, then to the second connecting port 132 of the second channel 152, then to the second inlet, and then to the second outlet 23.

[0056] In some embodiments, the main channel 150 and the first channel 151 can always be in a connected state. For example, when the first switch assembly 11 is open and the second switch assembly 21 is open, the main channel 150 and the first channel 151 are in a connected state; when the first switch assembly 11 is closed and the second switch assembly 21 is open, the main channel 150 and the first channel 151 are in a connected state, and the first switch assembly 11 may only block the connection between the first channel 151 and the first outlet 14. Of course, it is also possible that when the first switch assembly 11 is closed and the second switch assembly 21 is open, the main channel 150 and the first channel 151 are not connected.

[0057] This application does not impose any special limitations on the extension direction of the main channel 150, the extension direction of the first channel 151, and the extension direction of the second channel 152, as long as the fluid can flow to the first connecting port 131 or the second connecting port 132. The extension directions of the main channel 150, the first channel 151, and the second channel 152 can remain unchanged or change.

[0058] Since the main channel 150 has a first inlet 12, the first channel 151 has a first connecting port 131, and the second channel 152 has a second connecting port 132, the connection between the first connecting port 131 and the first inlet 12, as well as the connection between the second connecting port 132 and the first inlet 12, can be achieved through a waterway connector 15. This reduces the number of components in this application, thereby reducing the number of components in the multi-functional water outlet device and saving costs.

[0059] In some embodiments, such as Figures 6 to 10 As shown, the multi-functional water outlet device also includes a water path switching component 7, which is located inside the water path connecting component 15. When the first switch assembly 11 is open and the second switch assembly 21 is open, the first channel 151 connects the main channel 150 and the first water outlet 14. When the first switch assembly 11 is closed and the second switch assembly 21 is open, the water path switching component 7 moves, and the second channel 152 connects the main channel 150 and the second connecting port 132.

[0060] In some embodiments, such as Figures 7 to 10As shown, the main channel 150 extends along the first direction X; the first channel 151 includes a main channel segment 1510, which extends along the second direction Y and can connect the main channel 150 and the first connecting port 131; the second channel 152 includes a first sub-channel segment 1521, which extends along the second direction Y and connects the main channel 150 and the second connecting port 132. The main channel 150, the main channel segment 1510, and the first sub-channel segment 1521 intersect at the same point. The main channel segment 1510 and the first sub-channel segment 1521 extend from the intersection in directions away from each other. The waterway switching component 7 is located at the intersection and is used to control the connection and disconnection of the main channel 150 and the first sub-channel segment 1521. Since the main channel segment 1510 and the first sub-channel segment 1521 extend from the intersection in mutually distancing directions, during manufacturing, the main channel segment 1510 and the first sub-channel segment 1521 can be equivalent to a channel with a fixed extension direction, reducing the number of bends in the channel in the waterway connector 15 and lowering the manufacturing difficulty of the waterway connector 15. It is understood that the main channel segment 1510 and the first sub-channel segment 1521 can also connect to different parts of the main channel 150.

[0061] In some embodiments, the main channel 150, the main channel segment 1510, and the first sub-channel segment 1521 are formed in a "T" shape.

[0062] In some embodiments, the main channel segment 1510 and the first sub-channel segment 1521 are connected to the same point of the main channel 150.

[0063] In some embodiments, the first channel 151 includes a channel segment 1510 extending along a second direction Y, and the main channel 150 is located at the end of the channel segment 1510 away from the connection port along a first direction X.

[0064] In some embodiments, the first channel 151 includes a channel section 1510 extending along a second direction Y and a channel first segment 1511 extending along a first direction X, wherein the internal channel of the channel first segment 1511 connects the channel section 1510 and the first connection port 131.

[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first channel 151 includes a channel section 1510 extending along the second direction Y, a channel first section 1511 extending along the first direction X, and a third channel 153. When the first switch assembly and the second switch assembly 21 are open, the fluid flows sequentially through the main channel 150, the channel section 1510, the channel first section 1511, and the third channel 153, and flows to the first outlet 14.

[0066] In some embodiments, such as Figures 5 to 8As shown, the first switch assembly 11 can block or open the third channel 153, or the first switch assembly 11 can block or open the connection between the first channel 151 and the third channel 153.

[0067] In some embodiments, the first switch assembly 11 includes a switch housing 111 and a switch control element, which is capable of blocking or opening the connection between the first channel 151 and the third channel 153.

[0068] In some embodiments, the connection between the first switch assembly 11 and the third channel 153 is illustrated by an example, such as... Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the first switch assembly 11 includes a first sub-component 113, a second sub-component 114, and a first elastic member 112 disposed between the first sub-component 113 and the switch housing 111. The first elastic member 112 is connected to the switch housing 111. Under the force provided by the switch housing 111, the first sub-component 113 forces the first elastic member 112 to move away from the second sub-component 114. There is a gap between the first sub-component 113 and the second sub-component 114 to allow fluid to flow through. The first channel 151 and the third channel 153 are connected through a hole in the second sub-component 114. Under the elastic force of the first elastic member 112, the first sub-component 113 moves towards the second sub-component 114, blocking the hole in the second sub-component 114 and blocking the connection between the first channel 151 and the third channel 153. Of course, the switch control component can also be other structures, as long as it can achieve the connection or blocking of the connection between the first channel 151 and the third channel 153.

[0069] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the second channel 152 includes a first sub-channel segment 1521 extending along the second direction Y and a second sub-channel segment 1522 extending along the first direction X. When the first switch assembly 11 is closed and the second switch assembly 21 is open, the fluid flows sequentially through the internal channels of the main channel 150, the first sub-channel segment 1521, and the second sub-channel segment 1522, and flows to the second connecting port 132.

[0070] In some embodiments, the second sub-channel segment 1522 extends along the first direction X, and the second sub-channel segment 1522 and the main channel 150 are located on the same side of the first sub-channel segment 1521 along the first direction X. Further, the second sub-channel segment 1522 and the main channel 150 are located on the same side of the first sub-channel segment 1521 along the direction of gravity. Even further, when projected along the second direction Y into the same projection plane, the projection of the main channel 150 overlaps with the projection of the second sub-channel segment 1522. Since the second sub-channel segment 1522 and the main channel 150 are located on the same side of the first sub-channel segment 1521 along the first direction X, the second sub-channel segment 1522 and the main channel 150 can share the same space along the first direction X, which can reduce the size of the water channel connector 15 along the first direction X, improve the miniaturization of the water channel connector 15, and thus improve the miniaturization of the multifunctional water outlet device.

[0071] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the second sub-channel segment 1522 extends along the direction of gravity, and the second connecting port 132 faces downward along the direction of gravity, thereby facilitating the connection between the second connecting port 132 and the second water outlet component 2.

[0072] Since the water channel switching component 7 can block the connection between the main channel 150 and the second channel 152, the water channel switching component 7 can be used to realize the connection and blocking of different water channels in the water channel connecting component 15, and the structure is simple.

[0073] In some embodiments, the main channel 150, the first channel 151, and the second channel 152 converge at the same point, and the waterway switching component 7 is located at the convergence point.

[0074] In some embodiments, the main channel 150, the main channel segment 1510, and the first sub-channel segment 1521 converge at the same point, and the waterway switching component 7 is located at the convergence point.

[0075] Since the water channel switching component 7 is located at the intersection, it is convenient to switch between blocking or opening the second channel 152.

[0076] In some embodiments, the first inlet 12 faces downward along the direction of gravity; and / or the second connecting port 132 faces downward.

[0077] Optionally, the first water inlet 12 can face downwards along the direction of gravity. The second connecting port 132 can also face downwards along the direction of gravity. Alternatively, both the first water inlet 12 and the second connecting port 132 can face downwards along the direction of gravity. This facilitates the connection of the water inlet pipe 5 and / or the connecting pipe 6, and the water inlet pipe 5 and / or the connecting pipe 6 can be hidden under the water tank component 4, making the multi-functional water outlet device simpler and more aesthetically pleasing.

[0078] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the water circuit switching component 7 includes a first blocking part 71 located in the first channel 151, a second blocking part 72 located in the second channel 152, and a connecting part 73 connecting the first blocking part 71 and the second blocking part 72. When the first switch assembly 11 and the second switch assembly 21 are open, the second blocking part 72 blocks the connection between the second channel 152 and the main channel 150, and the first channel 151 is connected to the main channel 150. When the first switch assembly 11 is closed and the second switch assembly 21 is open, under the action of the hydraulic pressure difference, the water circuit switching component 7 can move in the direction from the first channel 151 to the second channel 152, and the second channel 152 is connected to the main channel 150.

[0079] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the water path switching component 7 includes a first blocking part 71 located within the main channel section 1510, a second blocking part 72 located within the first sub-channel section 1521, and a connecting part 73 connecting the first blocking part 71 and the second blocking part 72. When the first switch assembly 11 is open and the second switch assembly 21 is open, the second blocking part 72 can remain almost stationary. When the first switch assembly 11 is closed and the second switch assembly 21 is open, under the action of the hydraulic pressure difference, the water path switching component 7 can move in the direction from the main channel section 1510 to the first sub-channel section 1521, and the first sub-channel section 1521 is connected to the main channel 150. In some embodiments, the water outlet assembly includes a throttling element, which is located at the rear end of the first blocking part 71 along the fluid flow direction. This increases the local resistance of the fluid, thereby limiting the maximum flow rate and improving the switching stability of the water path switching component 7.

[0080] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, when the first switch assembly 11 is closed and the second switch assembly 21 is open, the second channel 152 is connected to the outside, while the first channel 151 is not connected to the outside. The pressure in the second channel 152 is less than the pressure in the main channel 150 and the first channel 151. Due to the hydraulic pressure difference, the water circuit switching component 7 is pushed to move in the direction from the main channel segment 1510 to the first sub-channel segment 1521. The main channel 150 and the second channel 152 are connected, and water can flow from the main channel 150 to the second channel 152.

[0081] In some embodiments, the water outlet device further includes a water path switching fitting 70, which includes a first fitting portion 701, a second fitting portion 702, and a fitting connection portion 703 connecting the first fitting portion 701 and the second fitting portion 702. The first fitting portion 701 is disposed in the first channel 151, and its outer peripheral surface is sealed to the first channel 151. The second fitting portion 702 is disposed in the second channel 152, and its outer peripheral surface is sealed to the second channel 152. A first blocking portion 71 is disposed within the first fitting portion 701, and a second blocking portion 72 is disposed within the second fitting portion 702. Under the action of pressure difference, the water path switching fitting 70 can move relative to the water path switching fitting 70. When the first switch assembly 11 and the second switch assembly 21 are open, the outer peripheral surface of the first sealing part 71 and the inner surface of the first mating part 701 have a gap along the circumferential direction of the first sealing part 71, and the outer peripheral surface of the second sealing part 72 is sealed to the inner surface of the second mating part 702. Fluid can flow through the gap between the outer peripheral surface of the first sealing part 71 and the inner surface of the first mating part 701 through the first channel 151. When the first switch assembly 11 is closed and the second switch assembly 21 is open, the outer peripheral surface of the second sealing part 72 and the inner surface of the second mating part 702 have a gap along the circumferential direction of the second sealing part 72. Fluid can flow through the gap between the outer peripheral surface of the second sealing part 72 and the inner surface of the second mating part 702 through the second channel 152.

[0082] Since the water outlet device includes a water path switching component 7, the main channel 150 can be easily connected to the first channel 151 or the second channel 152 through the water path switching component 7, resulting in a simple structure.

[0083] In some embodiments, the area of ​​the first blocking portion 71 is larger than the area of ​​the second blocking portion 72 in a plane perpendicular to the flow direction of the fluid.

[0084] Since the area of ​​the first blocking part 71 is larger than the area of ​​the second blocking part 72, when both the first switch assembly 11 and the second switch assembly 21 are open, the fluid thrust on the first blocking part 71 is greater than the fluid thrust on the second blocking part 72. As a result, the entire water circuit switching member 7 is subjected to the fluid thrust from the second channel 152 to the first channel 151, thereby causing the water circuit switching member 7 to move in the direction from the second channel 152 to the first channel 151, and thus causing the second blocking part 72 to block the first sub-channel segment 1521.

[0085] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 10As shown, the multi-functional water outlet device includes a third water outlet component 3, which includes a third switch component 31, a third inlet 32, and a third outlet 33. At least two connecting ports also include a third connecting port 133. When the second switch component 21 is open and the third switch component 31 is open, the third connecting port 133 connects the first inlet 12 and the third inlet 32. Fluid flows in from the inlet pipe 5 and flows sequentially through the first inlet 12, the third connecting port 133, and the third inlet 32, and flows out from the third outlet 33.

[0086] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 ,like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, when the first switch assembly 11 is open, the second switch assembly 21 is open and the third switch assembly 31 is closed, the fluid flows from the first inlet 12 into the main channel 150, then into the first connecting port 131 of the first channel 151, and then into the first outlet 14.

[0087] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 ,like Figure 10 As shown, when the first switch assembly 11 is closed, the second switch assembly 21 is open, and the third switch assembly 31 is open, the fluid flows into the main channel 150 from the first inlet 12, and then flows sequentially to the third connecting port 133, the third inlet 32, and the third outlet 33 of the first channel 151, and the fluid flows out from the third outlet 33.

[0088] Optionally, the third inlet 32 ​​and the third connecting port 133 can be connected by a connecting pipe 9 (e.g., Figure 4 (As shown) The third inlet 32 ​​can also be the third connecting port 133, and the third switch assembly 31 is integrated into the first switch assembly 11.

[0089] In other embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 9 As shown, when the first switch assembly 11 is closed, the second switch assembly 21 is open, and the third switch assembly 31 is closed, the fluid flows into the main channel 150 from the first inlet 12, and then flows sequentially to the second channel 152, the connecting pipe 6, the second inlet, and the second outlet 23, and the fluid flows out from the second outlet 23.

[0090] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 10 As shown, the first channel 151 includes a channel section 1510 extending along the second direction Y and a channel second section 1512 extending along the first direction X. When the third switch assembly 31 is open and the second switch assembly 21 is open, the fluid flows sequentially through the main channel 150, the channel section 1510, and the channel second section 1512 to the third connecting port 133.

[0091] In some embodiments, the third switch assembly 31 can block or open the third connection port 133, or the connection channel between the third connection port 133 and the third outlet 33, or the third outlet 33.

[0092] In some embodiments, the third switch assembly 31 is used as an example to block or open the communication channel between the third connection port 133 and the third water outlet 33. The third water outlet assembly 3 includes a cup washer, whose cup bowl can move downward under force. The movable shaft in the communication channel between the third connection port 133 and the third water outlet 33 moves downward, connecting the third connection port 133 and the third water outlet 33, and water flows out of the third water outlet 33. When the external force is released, the movable shaft can be reset under the action of the spring, thus blocking the communication channel between the third connection port 133 and the third water outlet 33. The above is only an example. Of course, the third water outlet assembly 3 can be a water outlet assembly with other water outlet methods, and the blocking method of the communication channel between the third connection port 133 and the third water outlet 33 can also be other methods.

[0093] In some embodiments, the first channel segment 1511 and the second channel segment 1512 extend in opposite directions, and are located on opposite sides of the total channel segment 1510 along the first direction X. Furthermore, the second channel segment 1512 extends along the direction of gravity, and the third connecting port 133 faces downwards along the direction of gravity, thereby facilitating communication between the third connecting port 133 and the third water outlet assembly 3.

[0094] In some embodiments, the second channel segment 1512 and the total channel 150 are located on the same side of the total channel segment 1510 along the first direction X. Further, the second channel segment 1512 and the total channel 150 are located on the same side of the total channel segment 1510 along the direction of gravity. Even further, when projected along the second direction Y into the same projection plane, the projection of the total channel 150 overlaps with the projection of the second channel segment 1512.

[0095] In some embodiments, the projections of the total channel 150, the second sub-channel segment 1522, and the second segment 1512 of the channel are projected onto the same projection plane along the second direction Y, and have overlapping portions. It is understood that the second sub-channel segment 1522 and the total channel 150 may also be located on different sides of the first sub-channel segment 1521 along the first direction X, respectively.

[0096] In some embodiments, the communication port may further include a fourth communication port (not shown), and the multi-functional water outlet device may further include a fourth water outlet component (not shown), which may be connected to the fourth communication port.

[0097] Since at least two connection ports also include a third connection port 133, the multi-functional water outlet device can include water outlet components with at least three functions, increasing the functional range of the multi-functional water outlet device to meet more customer needs. Furthermore, different water outlet components can be connected to the water inlet pipe 5 through a single water circuit connector 15, reducing the number of parts in the multi-functional water outlet device and thus saving costs. It is understood that at least two connection ports may only include two connection ports, excluding the third connection port 133.

[0098] In some embodiments, the first channel 151 includes a channel section 1510, a first channel segment 1511, and a second channel segment 1512. The first channel segment 1511 has a first connecting port 131, and the second channel segment 1512 has a third connecting port 133. The multi-functional water outlet device also includes a water path switching component 7, which is disposed within the water path connecting component 15, and a portion of the water path switching component 7 is disposed in the channel section 1510.

[0099] Therefore, the water circuit switching component 7 can be used to connect and block the first inlet 12 and the second connecting port 132, and switch the direction of fluid flow. The structure is simple.

[0100] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 or Figure 4 , Figure 9 As shown, the multi-functional water outlet device includes a connecting pipe 6, which connects to the second connecting port 132 and the second water inlet.

[0101] This enables the connection between the second connecting port 132 and the second water inlet.

[0102] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 or Figure 4 As shown, the multi-functional water outlet device includes a cold water inlet pipe 81 and a hot water inlet pipe 82. When the second switch assembly 21 is turned on, at least one of the cold water inlet pipe 81 and the hot water inlet pipe 82 is connected to the water inlet pipe 5, and the second switch assembly 21 can adjust the ratio of hot water and cold water entering the water inlet pipe 5.

[0103] Therefore, the second switch assembly 21 can control whether fluid can enter the inlet pipe 5.

[0104] In some embodiments, the first water outlet assembly 1 includes a waterfall-style rain shower assembly or a cup washer, and / or the second water outlet assembly 2 includes a faucet assembly.

[0105] In one specific embodiment, the first water outlet component 1 includes a waterfall-style rain shower component, and the second water outlet component 2 includes a faucet component.

[0106] In one specific embodiment, the third water outlet component 3 includes a cup washer.

[0107] Therefore, the multi-functional water outlet device offers a variety of water outlet modes to meet customer needs.

[0108] The second aspect of this application provides a multifunctional sink, which includes the multifunctional water outlet device and sink component 4 described in the first aspect above. A first water outlet component 1 is disposed on the sink component 4, and the first water outlet 14 of the first water outlet component 1 faces the sink cavity of the sink component 4. A second water outlet component 2 is disposed on the sink component 4, and the second water outlet 23 of the second water outlet component 2 faces the sink cavity of the sink component 4.

[0109] The multifunctional sink of this application has fewer pipes, which can improve the clutter of pipes, increase the cleanliness of pipes, and save costs for users.

[0110] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit it. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. These modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, and all should be covered within the scope of this application. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the various technical features mentioned in the embodiments can be combined in any way.
