Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a connecting seat, which can also be a three-way device. Background Art

[0002] In our lives, showering has become a part of our daily life. There are two types of shower products: handheld and fixed shower heads. The two can be directly connected through a connecting seat. However, the relevant products on the market have the following shortcomings: 1. Switching between handheld and fixed shower heads requires manual switching back and forth. This function is a high-frequency operation, that is, manual operation is required to achieve water switching under any circumstances, which is very inconvenient; 2. The three functions need to be switched in a certain order. The first and third functions cannot skip the intermediate functions, and it takes two times to switch to the desired water outlet. For example, there are only two outlets, but there are three functions (and one makes the two outlets discharge water together). Assuming there are three functions ABC, if you need to go from A to C, you can only switch from A to B and then switch to C. You cannot go directly from A to C, which increases the number of operations and ultimately makes the experience poor. Summary of the invention

[0031] Referring to the drawings of the specification, a connecting seat, which can also be said to be a three-way device, includes a body 10, on which an inlet 13, a first outlet 11 and a second outlet 12 are provided. Water flows in from the inlet and can then flow out from the first outlet and / or the second outlet. A matching first inlet 21, a second inlet 22 and a switching shaft 23 are provided in the body. Movement of the switching shaft can connect the inlet with the first inlet or the second inlet, that is, the switching shaft can connect the inlet with the first inlet, or with the second inlet. Only one of the first inlet and the second inlet can be selected to connect with the water flow direction of the inlet. A first flow channel 14 and a second flow channel 15 are also provided in the body. The first flow channel is connected to the first outlet, and at the same time, the water inlet end of the first flow channel is connected to the first inlet, and the second flow channel is connected to the second outlet. The water inlet end of the second flow channel is connected with the second inlet; the main body is also provided with a connecting port 16 that can connect the first flow channel and the second flow channel, and a movable shaft 30 is provided at the connecting port. The movement of the movable shaft can block or open the water flow function of the connecting port. Opening the water flow function of the connecting port can connect the first flow channel and the second flow channel so that water can flow out of the first outlet and the second outlet at the same time; when the connecting port is blocked, the main body can only discharge water from the first outlet or the second outlet alone. When the connecting port is not blocked by the movable shaft, the first flow channel and the second flow channel are connected, and no matter the water flows in from the first flow channel or the second flow channel, it will eventually flow to the first outlet and the second outlet, and water will flow out of the two outlets at the same time, that is, it is realized that only one operation is required, that is, moving the movable shaft to realize the switching from single water outlet to common water outlet, which is simple and quick.

[0032] In one embodiment of the utility model, the connection seat with the three-way valve function is used in a shower device, and of the two outlets, the first outlet is connected to a hand-held showerhead, and the second outlet is connected to a fixed showerhead. It has three functions, the first function is to discharge water from a hand-held showerhead alone, the second function is to discharge water from a fixed showerhead alone, and the third function is to discharge water from both showerheads simultaneously. In order to reduce high-frequency switching actions, a switching mechanism (mainly composed of a switching shaft) associated with the hand-held showerhead is designed between the hand-held and fixed showerheads. When the hand-held showerhead is inserted into the socket, the fixed showerhead is defaulted to discharge water, that is, the second outlet is used for single water discharge. When the hand-held showerhead is removed, the hand-held showerhead is defaulted to discharge water, that is, the second outlet is used for single water discharge, and no manual switching is required. For users who need water to be discharged from both sides at the same time, another switching device (mainly composed of a moving shaft) is turned on, and the hand-held showerhead and the fixed showerhead can be discharged at the same time regardless of whether the hand-held showerhead is removed from the socket of the body or inserted. The water discharge switching between the first outlet and the second outlet can be realized directly from the hanging and removal of the hand-held showerhead, without other operations. It is only the moving shaft that needs to be considered to be operated and switched, and the moving shaft is to realize the need for water discharge from both outlets.

[0033] Preferably, the outer periphery of the movable shaft is provided with a first sealing ring 31, which can seal with the inner circumferential wall of the connecting port. When the first sealing ring is located at the inner periphery of the connecting port, the connecting port is blocked, the first flow channel and the second flow channel are disconnected, and the two outlets can only discharge water individually.

[0034] Furthermore, the main body is also provided with a button 40 that can be pressed by the user. The button is the only artificial operating position. By pressing the button, the movable shaft is switched, so that the first sealing ring is switched back and forth at the position of the connecting port, so that the connecting port is switched back and forth between opening and closing. The main body is also provided with a matching stator 41 and rotor 42. The button is abutted and matched with the stator. The outer periphery of the stator is provided with a first ratchet 43, and the outer periphery of the rotor is provided with a second ratchet 44 that can cooperate with the first ratchet. The rotor is abutted and matched with one end of the movable shaft, and a first spring 45 is provided between the other end of the movable shaft and the main body. The cooperation between the stator and the rotor is similar to the structure of a ballpoint pen, and the axial position of the movable shaft is fixed back and forth horizontally, so that the first sealing ring and the connecting port are switched between sealing and non-sealing. The button is provided with an elastic sheet 46 in a ring shape, and the main body is provided with an inserting hole 17, into which the elastic sheet can be inserted, and the outer periphery of the elastic sheet is further provided with a first snap-in protrusion 47, and the inner periphery of the inserting hole is provided with a second snap-in protrusion 18, the first snap-in protrusion can cooperate with the second snap-in protrusion to limit the button on the main body; the button can drive the movable shaft to move and then be fixed relative to the main body, so that the connecting port remains blocked or the water flow function is turned on.

[0035] Preferably, the body is further provided with a socket 50 for plugging in a hand-held showerhead 51, and the socket is provided with a button 52, one end of the button is located in the socket and can abut against the hand-held showerhead, that is, in the default state, when the hand-held showerhead is inserted into the slot of the socket, the button will be driven to move, thereby driving the switching shaft to move, so that water flow from the first inlet is switched to water flow from the second inlet, and water flows out from the second outlet at this time, and the other end of the button is located in the body, and the other end of the button can be matched and connected with one end of the switching shaft, and a second spring 24 is provided between the other end of the switching shaft and the body, and when the hand-held showerhead is removed from the socket, under the action of the second spring, the switching shaft can be driven to move toward the second inlet, so that the first inlet is closed and the first inlet is opened, and water flows out from the first outlet at this time.

[0036] Furthermore, a second sealing ring 25 is provided on the outer periphery of the switching shaft, and the second sealing ring can be sealed with the inner circumferential wall of the first inlet and the second inlet; when the second sealing ring is sealed with the first inlet, the water entering the inlet flows through the second inlet and the second flow channel to the second outlet, and when the second sealing ring is sealed with the second inlet, the water entering the inlet flows through the first inlet and the first flow channel to the first outlet. These two are schematic diagrams of the water flow directions when water flows out of the two outlets.

[0037] The body is also provided with a connector 60, which includes a first connecting shaft 61 and a second connecting shaft 62 connected to each other. The first connecting shaft and the second connecting shaft are not coaxially arranged, but can be arranged in parallel. The first connecting shaft is connected to the other end of the button, and the second connecting shaft is abutted with the switching shaft. When the hand-held shower is inserted into the socket, the second entrance can be blocked and the first entrance can be opened. The body is also provided with a guide column 19. The first connecting shaft is sleeved on the outer periphery of the guide column. The button is connected to the switching shaft through the cooperation of the connector, thereby driving the movement of the switching shaft. Taking the hand-held shower is a necessary action for using it. Through this action, the first flow channel and the second flow channel are directly switched, eliminating the manual switching action. Through the setting of the connector, the switching shaft and the moving shaft can be arranged side by side to save the overall space.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment of the utility model, a connecting cylinder 20 is provided in the body, the switching shaft is provided in the connecting cylinder and can move in the connecting cylinder, the side wall of the connecting cylinder is provided with a water inlet 26 that can be connected with the first inlet and the second inlet, and the water inlet is located between the first inlet and the second inlet; a first water outlet 27 that can be matched with the first flow channel is provided on the side wall of the connecting cylinder on one side of the displacement water inlet, and a second water outlet 28 that can be matched with the second flow channel is provided on the side wall of the connecting cylinder on the other side of the displacement water inlet. The third sealing ring 29 that can be sealed and matched with the two ends of the inner wall of the connecting cylinder is provided at both ends of the outer periphery of the switching shaft, and the water inlet, the first water inlet and the second water inlet are located between the two third sealing rings.

[0039] Specifically, the utility model mainly includes a main body, a socket, a water circuit switching device, and a water circuit on-off device. The main body includes an inlet and two outlets, and a water circuit switching device and a connection part between the water circuit switching device and the socket. The inlet and the two outlets are connected to form a first flow channel and a second flow channel, which are controlled by the water circuit switching device. The water circuit on-off device is designed at the rear end of the water flow direction of the water circuit switching device to control the on-off between the two flow channels. The two outlets are respectively connected to a handheld showerhead and a fixed showerhead, and the handheld showerhead cooperates with the socket. The insertion and removal of the handheld showerhead controls the switching of the water circuit switching device. When the handheld showerhead is inserted, water flows through the second flow channel and the first flow channel is closed. When the handheld showerhead is removed, the second flow channel is closed and water flows through the first flow channel. Regardless of the position of the handheld showerhead, when the water circuit on-off device is turned on, water can be discharged from both sides at the same time. There is a switching shaft in the water channel switching device, with third sealing rings at both ends. One end of the switching shaft is connected to the second spring, and the other end is linked to the button on the socket through a connecting piece. When the button is pressed in, the switching shaft moves in the direction of the spring compression, at which time the second channel is open to water and the first channel is closed to water; when the button is released from force, the spring pushes the shaft in the opposite direction, at which time the second channel is closed to water and the first channel is open to water. The water channel on-off device includes a moving shaft, one end of which is connected to a button and the other end is connected to a first spring. When the handle is turned on, the shaft in the on-off device moves in the direction of the first spring compression, at which time the first water channel and the second water channel are connected, and water flows out of the two outlets at the same time; when the button is pressed, the second spring pushes the shaft in the opposite direction, at which time the first water channel and the second water channel are blocked, and water flows out of one of the two outlets. The water channel on-off device in this case is an automatic pressing switching mechanism for a ballpoint pen, and it can also be other circular to linear motion mechanisms, or other mechanisms.
