[0027] In order to further explain the technical solution of the present utility model, the present utility model is described in detail below through specific embodiments.

[0028] refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the utility model discloses an impeller anti-rotation mechanism, comprising a water passing part 1, an impeller 2 and a control component 3;

[0029] The water passing part 1 is provided with a water passing cavity 11;

[0030] The impeller 2 is rotatably fitted in the water passage chamber 11; a limiting portion 21 is provided on the end surface of the impeller 2;

[0031] The control component 3 includes a button fixing seat 31, a button 32, a stop pin 33 and a reset spring 34; the button fixing seat 31 is relatively fixed to the water flow part 1 and is provided with a movable channel 311; the button 32 is telescopically fitted in the outer end of the movable channel 311; the stop pin 33 is axially movable in the movable channel 311 and movably and sealingly penetrates the water flow chamber 11 and abuts against the end face of the impeller 2, and cooperates with the limiting part 21 to limit the rotation of the impeller 2 as the impeller 2 rotates; the reset spring 34 is used to drive the stop pin 33 to move in a direction away from the impeller 2 to release the restriction of the stop pin 33 on the impeller 2; a ballpoint pen mechanism is provided between the button fixing seat 31, the button 32 and the stop pin 33, so that when the button 32 is pressed, the stop pin 33 is driven to rotate and change the axial position of the stop pin 33 in the movable channel 311, so that the stop pin 33 abuts against or moves away from the end face of the impeller 2.

[0032] Through the above scheme, the control component 3 of the utility model can drive the ballpoint pen mechanism to move through the action of the user pressing the button 32, thereby driving the stop pin 33 to move axially relative to the button fixing seat 31. When the stop pin 33 abuts against the end face of the impeller 2, it can cooperate with the limit portion 21 to limit the rotation of the impeller 2. When the stop pin 33 is away from the impeller 2, the impeller 2 can rotate freely. The user has simple operation and good experience, and the product structure is simple and easy to assemble.

[0033] The specific implementation of the present utility model is shown below.

[0034] The water passage chamber 11 is provided with a side opening 111 , and the side opening 111 is sealed with a cover plate 4 ; the key fixing seat 31 is installed on the cover plate 4 , and the anti-rotation pin 33 is movably and sealingly penetrated through the cover plate 4 .

[0035] Furthermore, a convex ring 41 is provided on one side of the cover plate 4 facing the water passage chamber 11 . The convex ring 41 is embedded in the side opening 111 , and a sealing ring 5 is provided between the circumference of the convex ring 41 and the inner wall of the side opening 111 .

[0036] The above-mentioned limiting portion 21 is a block-shaped structure protruding from the end face of the impeller 2; the end of the anti-rotation pin 3 is engaged with the side of the limiting portion 21 as the impeller 2 rotates, thereby realizing the anti-rotation function of the impeller 2.

[0037] Furthermore, the upper surface of the above-mentioned limit portion 21 is an inclined surface 211, and the inclined surface 211 extends along the circumferential direction of the impeller 2 to the end surface of the impeller 2. By designing the inclined surface 211, when the user presses the button 32 and the stop pin 33 just abuts against the end surface of the limit portion 21, the impeller 2 can still continue to rotate until the impeller 2 rotates until the stop pin 33 abuts against the side of the limit portion 21.

[0038] The inner wall of the movable channel 311 is provided with a plurality of groups of long grooves 312, short grooves 313 and first one-way teeth 314 in a circular manner; the peripheral surface of the key 32 is provided with a guide protrusion 321 that slides in the long groove 312, so that the key 32 can move axially in the movable channel 311 without rotating, and the end surface of the key 32 facing the stop pin 33 is provided with a plurality of bidirectional teeth 322; the peripheral surface of the stop pin 33 is provided with a limit protrusion 331 that slides in the long groove 312 or the short groove 313, and the end surface of the stop pin 33 facing the key 32 is provided with a plurality of second one-way teeth 332 that are arranged at equal angles. When the key 32 is pressed, the bidirectional teeth 322 abut against the second one-way teeth 332 to drive the stop pin 33 to rotate. After the stop pin 33 rotates, it is guided by the first one-way teeth 314 to fit in the long groove 312 or the short groove 313, so as to change the axial position of the stop pin 33 in the movable channel 311.

[0039] Furthermore, the anti-rotation pin 33 is composed of a pin shaft 33a and a movable part 33b of separate design, the limiting protrusion 331 and the second one-way tooth 332 are both arranged on the movable part 33b, the end of the pin shaft 33a opposite to the movable part 33b is provided with a limiting plate 333, and the movable part 33b and the return spring 34 are respectively located on both sides of the limiting plate 333. After the movable part 33b is separated from the pin shaft 33a, the rotation torque of the anti-rotation pin 33 when being driven is no longer transmitted to the pin shaft 33a, so that the rotation of the movable part 33b is smoother. Of course, in other embodiments, the anti-rotation pin 33 can also be an integral part.

[0040] A circular gasket 35 is disposed at the inner end of the movable channel 311 , and the anti-rotation pin 33 passes through the circular gasket 35 and penetrates into the water passage cavity 11 .

[0041] Furthermore, a V-ring 6 is provided between the anti-rotation pin 33 and the circular gasket 35 to achieve a movable seal between the anti-rotation pin 33 and the circular gasket 35 .

[0042] The above embodiments and drawings do not limit the product form and style of the present utility model. Any appropriate changes or modifications made by ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field should be deemed to be within the patent scope of the present utility model.
