Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water purifiers, and in particular to a water nozzle structure and a water purifier comprising the same. Background Art
[0002] As commercial water purifiers become more and more popular, some problems have been exposed in the market, especially the structure of the water outlet spout. Every time the user takes water, there will always be dripping. In order to solve this problem, the industry has added a mesh structure inside the spout, which can effectively increase the tension of the water stored in the spout to ensure that there is no more dripping. However, if the water is stored in the spout for a long time, since the water is in contact with the atmosphere, bacteria will breed. These bacteria will multiply in large numbers and block the mesh structure inside the spout, and then the water will scatter and splash, or be completely blocked. Therefore, a spout structure that can solve the above problems is needed. Utility Model Content

[0018] Preferably, a plurality of the guide members are provided, and the plurality of the guide members extend from the closing section to the water outlet of the cavity.
[0019] In this solution, through the above arrangement, the water flow out of the faucet structure is stable, the water shape is more beautiful and splashing is not easy to occur.

[0048] A preferred embodiment is given below, and the present invention is described more clearly and completely in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0049] This embodiment provides a faucet structure 1, the specific structure is as follows Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the faucet structure 1 is arranged at the water outlet of the water purifier, and the faucet structure 1 includes:
[0050] The cavity 11 is connected to the water path of the water purifier;
[0051] The spoiler 12 is disposed at the connection between the cavity 11 and the waterway, and the spoiler 12 rotates under the push of the water flow to divert the water flow to the inner wall of the cavity 11;
[0052] The flow guide 13 is protrudingly disposed on the inner wall of the cavity 11 and extends along the water outlet direction of the faucet structure 1 . The flow guide 13 is located below the spoiler 12 .
[0053] Specifically, one end of the cavity 11 is connected to the water path of the water purifier, and the other end is used for water discharge. The spoiler 12 is arranged near the connection between the cavity 11 and the water path so that when the water in the water path flows into the cavity 11, the water path is stirred by the spoiler 12. The water path drives the spoiler 12 to rotate, and the rotating spoiler 12 evenly diverts the water to the inner wall of the cavity 11, so as to divert a single stream of water into multiple streams of water, and break up the tension of the single stream of water. The tension of the water after the breakup is weakened, and when contacting the inner wall of the cavity 11, the time of staying on the inner wall of the cavity 11 is reduced, so that the water flows out without remaining on the inner wall of the cavity 11. On the basis that the water does not remain on the inner wall of the cavity 11, the possibility of contacting and breeding bacteria in the air is reduced, so as to prevent the bacteria from clogging the water outlet of the faucet structure 1 after breeding.
[0054] In addition, when the spoiler 12 breaks up the water flow entering the cavity 11 and diverts it to the inner wall of the cavity 11, the water flow is blocked by the spoiler 12 and the water flow speed is reduced, thereby avoiding the situation where the water flow out of the faucet structure 1 is too fast and splashes.
[0055] At the same time, in this embodiment, a flow guide 13 is also provided, and the flow guide 13 cooperates with the flow spoiler 12. The flow guide 13 is protruded from the inner wall of the cavity 11 and extends toward the axis of the cavity 11. After the water flow is dispersed and diverted by the flow spoiler 12, it is guided by the flow guide 13 to form a uniform and beautiful water flow. It should also be noted that the water spout structure 1 in this embodiment does not have a mesh structure, but replaces the mesh structure with the flow guide 13. That is to say, the water spout structure 1 in this embodiment does not have a plurality of holes at the water outlet for maintaining the water shape. On the one hand, the cost of the water spout structure 1 is further reduced. On the other hand, for the situation where small holes are prone to residual water flow and breeding bacteria, the setting of the flow guide 13 instead of the mesh structure can eliminate such a situation and also prevent the water taken by the user from being contaminated with mold.
[0056] In this embodiment, a closing section 14 is disposed in the cavity 11 , the spoiler 12 is disposed above the closing section 14 , and the flow guide 13 is disposed below the closing section 14 .
[0057] Specifically, the closing section 14 is a conical structure, and the water flow diverted by the spoiler 12 enters the closing section 14. The closing section 14 itself accelerates the flow rate of the water flow, reducing the residence time of the water flow on the inner wall of the cavity 11 after being dispersed, so as to guide the water flow before the tension is restored, thereby reducing the water remaining on the inner wall of the cavity 11. The closing section 14 is made of the same material as the inner wall of the cavity 11, and the difference lies in the shape.
[0058] In this embodiment, a limiting portion 2 is further provided in the cavity 11 , the limiting portion 2 is detachably connected to the cavity 11 , and the spoiler 12 is connected to the cavity 11 through the limiting portion 2 .
[0059] Specifically, the limiting portion 2 is located in the cavity 11, and the spoiler 12 is positioned in the cavity 11 by the limiting portion 2, so as to prevent the spoiler 12 from falling off or shifting when the water flow impacts the spoiler 12. In this way, the reliability of the faucet structure 1 is improved. By detachably connecting the limiting portion 2 and the cavity 11, it is convenient for the operator to remove the spoiler 12 in time when replacing the spoiler 12, thereby improving the convenience of maintenance and installation.
[0060] In this embodiment, the spoiler 12 includes a shaft and blades 121 rotatably connected to the shaft. The blades 121 are arranged in the horizontal direction, and the shaft is arranged in the vertical direction and connected to the limiting portion 2 .
[0061] Specifically, the shaft body is arranged in the vertical direction, and the spoiler 12 is connected to the limiter 2 through the shaft body. After the connection, the spoiler 12 can be positioned at a fixed position in the cavity 11, that is, close to the connection between the cavity 11 and the waterway. The blade 121 is a fan-shaped blade, and the blade 121 is provided with multiple blades and is rotatably connected to the shaft body. When the water flow impacts the spoiler 12, the water flow contacts the fan-shaped blades to drive the blade 121 to rotate. The rotating blade 121 diverts the water flow and breaks it up to the inner wall of the cavity 11 to flow to the closing section 14. Compared with other setting directions, the blade 121 arranged in the horizontal direction can make the scattered water flow more evenly diverted to various positions of the cavity 11, avoiding the situation where the local water flow is too large and the water flow may remain. And when the water flow velocity is consistent, the beauty of the water shape is improved. In this embodiment, the material of the blade 121 is a food-grade plastic material to avoid affecting the user's drinking taste due to the material of the blade 121, and ensure the user's experience and health and safety.
[0062] In this embodiment, a groove is provided on the shaft body, and the limiting portion 2 includes a “U”-shaped member and a gasket 21 . The gasket 21 is clamped in the cavity 11 , and the “U”-shaped member passes through the groove and abuts against the gasket 21 .
[0063] Specifically, the gasket 21 is a circular plate, and a plurality of through holes are provided on the circular plate for water flow to pass through. The cavity 11 is provided with a step groove for the gasket 21 to be clamped along the direction of water flow. The position of the gasket 21 after clamping is fixed, and a circular hole for accommodating the shaft body is provided at the axis of the gasket 21. The shaft body passes through the circular hole, and a groove is provided on the surface of the shaft body. The groove is for the "U"-shaped member to pass through, and the size of the "U"-shaped member is larger than the size of the circular hole, so as to achieve the limitation of the shaft body. After the limitation, the position of the spoiler 12 in the cavity 11 is also fixed accordingly. Compared with the method of unilateral locking or abutting the shaft body, the "U"-shaped member can clamp both sides of the shaft body at the same time, and the spoiler 12 is positioned in a bilateral positioning manner, which improves the stability of the positioning of the spoiler 12. On this basis, the water flow is continuously diverted to avoid the situation where the spoiler 12 tilts in the middle and affects the water discharge effect.
[0064] Of course, in other embodiments, the structure of the limiting portion 2 can also be a ring structure inserted into the groove of the shaft body, and its purpose is also to position the spoiler 12 and improve its stability. This is a prior art and will not be elaborated here.
[0065] In this embodiment, a plurality of flow guide members 13 are provided, and the plurality of flow guide members 13 extend from the closing section 14 to the water outlet of the cavity 11 .
[0066] Specifically, a plurality of guide members 13 are arranged around the axis of the cavity 11 and are arranged at intervals. The guide members 13 extending from the closing section 14 to the water outlet can shape the water flow through the guide members 13 when the water flow is dispersed and diverted by the spoiler 12 and then flows into the guide members 13 through the closing section 14 to accelerate the flow, so as to obtain a water flow with a beautiful water shape and the water flow flows out along the guide members 13 without splashing. At the same time, the water flow is discharged through the guide members 13 when it flows out, and the water flow remaining on the inner wall of the cavity 11 is reduced to prevent the growth of bacteria in the air and reduce the situation of blocking the water outlet of the faucet structure 1.
[0067] In this embodiment, the flow guide 13 is a plate.
[0068] Specifically, the guide member 13 is formed integrally with the inner wall of the cavity 11. From the appearance, the guide member 13 is a plate protruding from the inner wall of the cavity 11. The side of the plate away from the inner wall of the cavity 11 is an arc structure to facilitate the flow of water. There is a plane between two adjacent guide members 13 so that the water can smoothly pass through the guide members 13. Compared with guide members 13 of other shapes, the plate extending along the water outlet direction can facilitate the rapid outflow of water and effectively shape the shape of the water flow.
[0069] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the guide member 13 includes a guide section 131 and a flow stabilizing section 132. The flow stabilizing section 132 is protruding from the inner wall of the cavity 11. The guide section 131 is located between the closing section 14 and the flow stabilizing section 132. The guide section 131 gradually extends obliquely from the inner wall of the cavity 11 to the flow stabilizing section 132.
[0070] Specifically, the guide member 13 is provided with a guide section 131 inclined near the closing section 14. The guide section 131 is gradually increased in size from the closing section 14 to keep the size of the steady flow section 132 consistent with that of the steady flow section 132. When the water flows from the closing section 14 to the guide member 13, it is first guided by the guide section 131 to shape the water type, and then it is stabilized by the steady flow section 132 to ensure that the water does not splash. In addition, the setting of the guide section 131 can guide the water flow while the closing section 14 increases the flow velocity of the water flow, so as to avoid the situation where the water flow cannot converge after being divided, thereby improving the water discharge efficiency.
[0071] This embodiment also provides a water purifier, which includes the above-mentioned water nozzle structure 1.
[0072] Specifically, the water circuit of the water purifier is connected to the faucet structure 1 through a silicone tube, and a conical structure is provided on the outer peripheral side of the faucet structure 1 to limit the position of the silicone tube to prevent the silicone tube from loosening from the faucet structure 1. The water circuit is connected to the pressureless water tank, and normal temperature water or hot water can be provided in the water circuit. The spoiler 12 and the guide 13 of the faucet structure 1 are used to divert and decelerate the water flow when the water is discharged, so as to prevent the water flow from remaining in the cavity 11, and the spoiler 12 and the guide 13 cooperate with each other to remove the water flow in time. The guide 13 replaces the mesh structure, which saves costs. In addition, since there is no interception net of the mesh structure, the faucet structure 1 will not be blocked by the holes of the interception net after the bacteria in the residual water and air grow.
[0073] In this embodiment, the water purifier also includes a fixed plate 3, a positioning portion 4 is arranged on the outer peripheral side of the faucet structure 1 in the horizontal direction, a mounting portion 5 for accommodating the faucet structure 1 is arranged on the fixed plate 3, a connecting portion 6 is arranged in the mounting portion 5 in the vertical direction, and the faucet structure 1 is abutted against the fixed plate 3 through the connecting portion 6.
[0074] Specifically, the fixing plate 3 is a flat plate and is integrally formed with the water purifier housing. The faucet structure 1 is fixed to the fixing plate 3 by the mounting portion 5. The mounting portion 5 is a cylindrical structure and is provided with a receiving hole for accommodating the faucet structure 1. The mounting portion 5 is screwed to the fixing plate 3 by self-tapping screws. A connecting portion 6 is provided in the receiving hole. A positioning portion 4 is provided on the outer peripheral side ring of the faucet structure 1. The connecting portion 6 can be a sleeve or a plate in the prior art to abut against the bottom of the positioning portion 4 in the vertical direction, so that the faucet structure 1 is limited in the vertical direction to prevent the faucet structure 1 from being separated from the water purifier due to the impact force of the water flow, so as to improve the reliability and stability of the water purifier. In this embodiment, the fixing plate 3 is made of 304 stainless steel.
[0075] In other embodiments, the faucet structure 1 is further provided with a limiting plate, which is located above the positioning portion 4 and on the outer peripheral side of the faucet structure 1, and the limiting plate is used to abut against the bottom of the fixing plate 3 to further limit the position of the faucet structure 1 in the vertical direction upward when the connecting portion 6 positions the faucet structure 1.

Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to these implementations without departing from the principle and essence of the utility model, but these changes and modifications fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
