[0032] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0033] refer to Figure 1 Some embodiments of the present invention provide a water outlet device 1000, which can discharge water upward (such as Figure 2 , with dotted arrow lines to indicate water flow), when the user needs to wash their face or rinse their mouth, they can collect water upwards or rinse directly.

[0034] refer to Figures 3 to 5 The water outlet device 1000 includes a main body 100, a water outlet member 200 and a reset member, wherein the main body 100 includes a water inlet channel 121 and a first water outlet channel 122, and the first water outlet channel 122 is provided with a first water inlet end 1221 and a first water outlet end 1222. It can be understood that water can enter through the first water inlet end 1221, flow through the first water outlet channel 122 and then flow out from the first water outlet end 1222. The first water inlet end 1221 is connected to the water inlet channel 121, so that the water inlet channel 121 is connected to the first water outlet channel 122. A blocking member is provided on the first water inlet end 1221, and the blocking member is directed toward the first water outlet end 1222 along the axial direction of the first water outlet channel 122.

[0035] Specifically, refer to Figure 5 A baffle plate extends from the inner wall of one end of the first water outlet channel 122 close to the water inlet channel 121 in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the first water outlet channel 122. A gap channel exists between the baffle plate and the inner wall of the first water outlet channel 122 so that the first water outlet channel 122 and the water inlet channel 121 are connected. The gap channel is the first water inlet end 1221. The baffle plate extends and protrudes toward the first water outlet end 1222 in the direction of the axis of the first water outlet channel 122 to form a blocking member.

[0036] The water outlet 200 is provided with a water inlet 210 and a water outlet 220, and the opening direction of the water outlet 220 is upward. It can be understood that the opening direction of the water outlet 220 is upward, and the opening direction can be perpendicular to the water outlet 200, or it can be non-perpendicular to the water outlet 200, as long as water can be discharged upward.

[0037] The water outlet member 200 is disposed in the first water outlet channel 122, and can slide relative to the first water outlet channel 122, so that the water outlet 220 is hidden or exposed. For example, when the water outlet member 200 slides to approach or abut the baffle, the water outlet 220 is hidden in the main body 100. At this time, the blocking member blocks the water inlet 210, and the water flowing from the water inlet channel 121 to the first water inlet end 1221 cannot enter the water outlet member 200 through the water inlet 210. At this time, the water outlet 220 does not discharge water. When the water outlet member 200 moves in a direction away from the baffle, the water outlet 220 is exposed outside the main body 100 and discharges water from above.

[0038] One end of the reset member abuts against the main body 100, and the other end abuts against the water outlet member 200 to provide a reset force to the water outlet member 200 toward the first water inlet end 1221. Specifically, through the reset force provided by the reset member, the water outlet member 200 can slide close to or abut against the baffle, so that the blocking member blocks the water inlet 210.

[0039] It can be understood that when water flows from the water inlet channel 121 to the first water outlet channel 122, the water pressure can push the water outlet member 200 to overcome the force of the reset member and slide toward the first water outlet end 1222 until the water outlet 220 is exposed. At the same time, water flows into the water outlet member 200 through the water inlet 210, flows through the inside of the water outlet member 200 and is sprayed out from the upward water outlet 220, thereby realizing upward water outlet for the user to wash his face or rinse his mouth. However, when the water pressure is low, if the water flows directly into the water outlet 200 through the water inlet 210, since the water outlet 220 is connected to the outside, the outflow direction of the water flow is equivalent to being directly connected to the atmospheric pressure, so the water flow is depressurized, which further reduces the water pressure. At this time, the water pressure cannot make the water outlet 200 overcome the force of the reset member, and cannot push the water outlet 200 to expose the water outlet 220. Therefore, the water will flow out from the gap between the water outlet 220 and the first water outlet channel 122, resulting in the user being unable to use the water outlet function, and will cause splashing, resulting in a poor user experience. By setting a blocking member, when the water outlet 200 is blocked by it, when it flows to the water inlet 210, it is not directly connected to the outside atmospheric pressure through the water outlet 200, that is, there is no pressure relief process, and the pressure can be held at the water inlet 210 of the water outlet 200 to maintain the water pressure, ensuring that the water flow pressure can push the water outlet 200 to slide to expose the water outlet 220.

[0040] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5In some embodiments of the present invention, the blocking member is a convex column 124, for example, it can be an integrally formed convex column 124 directly extending from the baffle, or it can be a separate convex column 124 connected to the baffle. When the water outlet 220 is hidden, the convex column 124 penetrates into the member to block the water inlet 210. Therefore, in addition to blocking the water inlet 210 to maintain the water inlet pressure, the blocking member can also serve as a guide member inserted into the water outlet member 200, so that the water outlet member 200 can keep sliding along the axis direction of the first water outlet channel 122 during the sliding process, and there will be no shaking or sliding trajectory deviation, which will increase the friction between the water outlet member 200 and the first water outlet channel 122, thereby affecting the sliding effect.

[0041] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of the present invention, the diameter of the boss 124 is gradual. The diameter of the boss 124 refers to the diameter of the cross section of the boss 124 on a plane perpendicular to the axis of the first water outlet channel 122. Specifically, the diameter of the boss 124 gradually decreases in the direction from the water inlet 210 to the water outlet 220, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the boss 124 also gradually decreases. It can be understood that when the water outlet member 200 is pushed by the water flow to move toward the first water outlet end 1222, the water inlet 210 of the water outlet member 200 gradually separates from the boss 124. Since the diameter of the boss 124 gradually decreases along the separation direction of the water outlet 220, during this process, the water flow area between the outer wall of the boss 124 and the water inlet 210 gradually increases. Therefore, even if the water outlet member 200 is pushed to slide by the water flow, the water flow area will not suddenly increase to the maximum water flow area when the water inlet 210 is completely separated from the boss 124. At this time, it is equivalent to delaying the pressure relief process. Even if the water pressure is reduced, it can ensure that the water outlet member 200 can be pushed to slide so that the water outlet 220 is exposed and water flows upward.

[0042] On the other hand, it is understandable that when the protrusion 124 is in the above shape, it can also assist the water outlet 200 to reset accurately and quickly. Specifically, when the water flow is shut off, the water outlet 200 slides in the direction close to the baffle under the reset force of the reset member. At this time, since the diameter of the end of the protrusion 124 close to the water outlet 200 is the smallest, it can quickly and accurately penetrate the water inlet 210 of the water outlet 200, and there is no problem of inaccurate alignment and inability to penetrate.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present invention, the reset member is a first elastic member 300, for example, a spring, a spring sheet, etc. A first abutting portion 125 is provided on the main body 100, and a second abutting portion 230 is provided on the water outlet member 200. The first abutting portion 125 and the second abutting portion 230 are correspondingly arranged along the axial direction of the first water outlet channel 122, wherein one end of the first elastic member 300 abuts against the first abutting portion 125, and the other end abuts against the second abutting portion 230. Figure 3The first abutment portion 125 is arranged at one end of the main body 100 close to the first water outlet end 1222, and the second abutment portion 230 is arranged on the water outlet member 200. When the water outlet member 200 is pushed by the water pressure and slides along the direction of the first water outlet end 1222, the second abutment portion 230 is driven to move in the same direction and compress the first elastic member 300. When the water pressure disappears, the first elastic member 300 pushes the water outlet member 200 to return to its original position.

[0044] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of the utility model, a slide groove 126 is provided on the first water outlet end 1221. It can be understood that the slide groove 126 is parallel to the axis of the first water outlet channel 122. When the water outlet member 200 slides in the first water outlet channel 122, the slide groove 126 can provide a moving space for the second abutting portion 230. At the same time, the slide groove 126 also has a guiding effect on the second abutting portion 230, thereby limiting the water outlet member 200 to move only along the direction of the slide groove 126, that is, the axial direction of the first water outlet channel 122, to avoid offset and cause jamming, thereby affecting the sliding effect.

[0045] refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments of the utility model, the first abutment portion 125 includes an abutment block 1251 and a slot member 1252. Specifically, the slot member 1252 is arranged on the main body 100. The slot can be integrally formed with the main body 100 or connected to the main body 100. The abutment block 1251 is inserted into the slot member 1252 to achieve fixation and form a first abutment portion 125 for abutting the first elastic member 300.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of slot members 1252 are provided (not shown), wherein the plurality of slot members 1252 are arranged in sequence along the axial direction of the first water outlet channel 122. That is, the abutment block 1251 can have a plurality of different clamping positions, and the clamping position can be changed to change the initial distance between the first abutment portion 125 and the second abutment portion 230, thereby adjusting the elastic force of the elastic member at this time. For example, the abutment block 1251 can be clamped on the slot member 1252 which is farther from the first water outlet end 1222. At this time, the initial distance between the first abutment portion 125 and the second abutment portion 230 is reduced. Even in the initial position, the first elastic member 300 is compressed, generating elastic force on the second abutment portion 230, so that the water outlet member 200 is subjected to the elastic force toward the first water inlet end 1221. At this time, the water flow pushes the water outlet member 200 to move to discharge water, and the required water pressure is greater. Thus, it can adapt to a greater water pressure and avoid the water outlet member 200 being flushed open under high water pressure and suddenly and violently discharging water, causing a bad user experience. It is understandable that the initial distance between the first abutment portion 125 and the second abutment portion 230 can also be increased by changing the clamping position, thereby reducing the elastic force applied by the first elastic member 300 to the water outlet member 200, thereby pushing the water outlet member 200 to discharge water even when the water pressure is reduced.

[0047] refer to Figures 3 to 5 In some embodiments of the present utility model, the main body 100 further includes a second water outlet channel 123, the second water outlet channel 123 includes a second water inlet end 1231 and a second water outlet end 1232, and the second water outlet channel 123 is connected to the water inlet channel 121 through the second water inlet end 1231. The water outlet device 1000 further includes a switching component 400, which is arranged in the water inlet channel 121 to selectively close the first water inlet end 1221 or the second water inlet end 1231. The user can operate the switching component 400 to selectively close the first water inlet end 1221 and the second water inlet end 1231. When the first water inlet end 1221 is closed, no water flows through the first water outlet channel 122, the water outlet 200 does not slide, the water outlet 220 is hidden, and the upward water outlet function cannot be used. At this time, the water flows out through the second water outlet channel 123, and the second water outlet end 1232 can be directed toward bathroom equipment such as a washbasin and a sink, which belongs to a conventional use mode. When the user closes the second water inlet 1231, water flows to the first water outlet channel 122, and the water outlet member 200 slides under the action of the water pressure to overcome the restoring force of the restoring member, and the water outlet 220 is exposed and discharges water upward.

[0048] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4In some embodiments of the utility model, the switching assembly 400 includes a piston rod 410 and a second elastic member 420, one end of the second elastic member 420 abuts against the water inlet channel 121, and the other end abuts against one end of the piston rod 410. When the piston rod 410 is not driven, the piston rod 410 is subjected to the elastic force of the second elastic member 420 to close one of the first water inlet end 1221 and the second water inlet end 1231. When the piston rod 410 is driven, the piston rod 410 overcomes the elastic force of the second elastic member 420 and moves to close the other one.

[0049] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of the utility model, the switching assembly 400 also includes a button 430 and a guide column 127. One end of the piston rod 410 facing away from the water inlet channel 121 is connected to the button 430, and the other end is arranged in the water inlet channel 121 and is provided with a guide groove 411. The guide column 127 is arranged in the water inlet channel 121 and corresponds to the guide groove 411. When the piston rod 410 is driven by the button 430, the guide column 127 is penetrated into the guide groove 411 and can slide relative to the guide groove 411. Thus, the movement of the piston rod 410 can be limited to prevent it from being offset.

[0050] In some embodiments of the utility model, the main body 100 includes a water channel component 120 and a shell 110, the water inlet channel 121, the first water outlet channel 122, the second water outlet channel 123, the boss 124, the first abutment portion 125, the slide groove 126 and the guide column 127 are all arranged in the water channel component 120, the water channel component 120 is arranged in the shell 110, and a through hole 111 is arranged on the shell 110, and the water outlet 220 can extend out through the through hole 111 to be exposed.
