[0028] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a flow regulating device comprises a valve body 1, a valve stem 2 and a rotating member 3; a slideway 11 is provided on the valve body 1, a valve stem 2 is inserted into the slideway 11 to slide linearly and reciprocatingly in the slideway 11, a slideway water inlet 12 and a slideway water outlet 13 are provided on the side wall of the slideway 11, a sealing surface 21 is provided on the side wall of the valve stem 2, and the valve stem 2 slides inside and outside to increase or reduce the sealing area of the sealing surface 21 on the slideway water inlet 12 and / or the slideway water outlet 13; specifically, as Figure 5 As shown, the valve stem 2 is provided with a water passing section 23 and a blocking section 24. The water passing section 23 is arranged adjacent to the blocking section 24. The outer diameter of the blocking section 24 is consistent with the cross-sectional profile of the slide 11, and the outer diameter of the water passing section 23 is smaller than the cross-sectional profile of the slide 11. The valve stem 2 slides inside and outside to make the water passing section 23 and the blocking section 24 slide relative to the slide water inlet 12 or the slide water outlet 13, which can increase or decrease the size of the water flow rate.
[0031] In this specific embodiment, Figure 5As shown, the valve body 1 also has a valve body water inlet 14 and a valve body water outlet 15 . The valve body water inlet 14 is connected to the slideway water inlet 12 , and the valve body water outlet 15 is connected to the slideway water outlet 13 .
[0032] In this specific embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the slide water inlet 12 and the slide water outlet 13 are arranged opposite to each other, and the valve stem 2 slides inwards and outwards to realize the sealing surface 21 and simultaneously increase or decrease the sealing area of the slide water inlet 12 and the slide water outlet 13. In other embodiments, the slide water inlet 12 and the slide water outlet 13 may also not be arranged opposite to each other, and the valve stem 2 slides inwards and outwards to only increase or decrease the sealing area of the slide water inlet 12 or the slide water outlet 13, and the size of the water flow rate can also be adjusted, but it is not limited to this.
[0033] In this specific embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the rotating member 3 is rotatably arranged on the valve housing 4 around the axis, and an arc segment 31 is arranged on the rotating member 3. The arc segment 31 has a starting end 311 and an end end 312. The distance between the arc track along the starting end 311 to the end end 312 of the arc segment 31 and the rotation axis of the rotating member 3 is continuously increasing or decreasing (such as Figure 4 As shown), that is, the arc segment 31 is an arc segment and its center is not coaxial with the rotation axis. Of course, the arc segment 31 may not be an arc segment, as long as the changing trend of the distance between its arc trajectory and the rotation axis is ensured to be continuously increasing or decreasing from the starting end 311 to the end end 312. The arc segment 31 is slidably fitted on the outer end of the valve stem 2 to realize driving the valve stem 2 to slide inward or outward when the rotating part 3 rotates, and it is easy to control the sliding distance of the valve stem 2, which can improve the accuracy of controlling the water flow rate.
[0034] In this specific embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the arc segment 31 of the rotating member 3 is an arc-shaped rib along the starting end 311 to the end end 312, and a groove 22 is provided at the outer end of the valve stem 2. The arc segment 31 is inserted into the groove 22 and slidably fits in the groove 22. When the arc segment 31 rotates with the rotating member 3, it pushes against the inner wall of the groove 22 to make the valve stem 2 slide inward, or hooks the inner wall of the groove 22 to drive the valve stem 2 to slide outward.
[0035] When using, Figure 5 As shown, the water flow section 23 of the valve stem 2 is arranged on a side close to the inner end of the valve stem 2, and the blocking section 24 is located on a side close to the outer end of the valve stem 2, that is, when the valve stem 2 slides inward, the blocking surface 21 blocks the slideway water inlet 12, thereby reducing the water flow; when the valve stem 2 slides outward to move the blocking surface 21 outward, the water flow section 23 slides toward the slideway water inlet 12, thereby increasing the water flow. Of course, in other embodiments, the positions of the water flow section 23 and the blocking section 24 of the valve stem 2 can also be swapped, so that the valve stem 2 slides inward to increase the water flow, or the valve stem 2 slides outward to reduce the water flow; it is not limited to this.
[0036] In this specific embodiment, Figure 6 When the rotating member 3 drives the valve stem 2 to slide outward until the water-passing section is completely aligned with the water inlet 12 of the slideway, the water-passing flow rate reaches the maximum. Figure 7 When the rotating member 3 pushes the valve stem 2 to slide inwardly until the blocking area of the blocking surface 21 to the slideway water inlet 12 reaches the maximum, the water flow rate reaches the minimum.
[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, the rotating member 3 includes a knob 32 and a follower 33. A circular segment 41 is provided on the valve housing 4. The knob 31 is sleeved on the circular segment 41 and rotates. The follower 33 and the knob 32 are fixedly connected to rotate with the knob 32. The arc segment 31 is arranged on the follower 33. Specifically, the follower 33 and the knob 32 are fixed by snapping. Of course, the follower 33 and the knob 32 can also be integrally formed, and are not limited thereto.
[0038] In this specific embodiment, the projection range of the slide water inlet 12 and the slide water outlet 13 is gradually expanded or gradually reduced along the sliding path of the valve stem 2, so that when the blocking surface 21 increases the blocking area of the slide water inlet 12, the water flow rate can be quickly reduced, or when the blocking surface 21 reduces the blocking area of the slide water inlet 12 and the sliding water outlet 13, the water flow rate can be quickly increased, the adjustment speed of the water flow rate is faster, and the change of the water flow rate is more obvious. Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the projections of the slide water inlet 12 and the slide water outlet 13 are triangular structures. Of course, in other embodiments, they can also be trapezoidal or other structures. It is not limited thereto, and those skilled in the art can design according to specific circumstances.
[0039] In this specific embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, at least two sealing rings 6 are provided on the valve stem 2, and the two sealing rings 6 are arranged at intervals. The water passing section 23 and the blocking section 24 are arranged between the two sealing grooves 22 to prevent the water flow from the slideway water inlet 12 and the slideway water outlet 13 from overflowing from the slideway 11 to ensure the sealing. Specifically, two sealing grooves 25 are provided on the valve stem 2, and two O-rings 6 are respectively embedded in the two sealing grooves 25, and the O-rings 6 are against the inner wall of the slideway 11.
[0040] In this specific embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the outer end of the slideway 11 has a limiting portion 7 to limit the valve stem 2 from slipping out of the slideway 11 .
[0041] Another implementation mode of the present invention is as follows: Figure 8As shown, an elastic member 5 is provided in the valve housing 4, one end of the elastic member 5 is fixed to the inner wall of the valve housing 4, and the other end is connected to the inner end of the valve stem 2. The elastic member 5 is used to elastically drive the outer end of the valve stem 2 to abut against the arc segment 31. Specifically, when the rotary knob 32 is rotated by force to drive the follower 33 to push the valve stem 2 to slide inward, the elastic member 5 is compressed. When the knob 32 is rotated in the opposite direction, the elastic member 5 elastically drives the valve stem 2 to always abut against the arc segment 31, so as to ensure that the rotation of the knob 32 can better control the water flow rate in the slideway 11. Specifically, the elastic member 5 is a spring, and in other embodiments, it can also be a spring, etc., but is not limited to this.
[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not a limitation on the design of the present case. Any equivalent changes made based on the key design of the present case shall fall within the protection scope of the present case.
