Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a faucet structure and a water purifier comprising the faucet structure. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of commercial water purifiers, various types of water purifiers have appeared on the market. Water purifiers have the functions of removing suspended solids, filtering out pathogenic microorganisms, and removing heavy metals and harmful chemicals, making drinking water healthier and ensuring people's drinking water safety. Water purifiers also have the functions of softening water, removing odors and discoloration, improving the drinking experience and increasing users' willingness to drink water.

[0003] However, the water outlet of some water purifiers has a fast water outlet speed and a relatively unstable water flow, which causes the water from the outlet to easily splash onto the hands or clothes of the user who is taking water, causing a bad experience. In addition, when the user receives boiling water, the boiling water splashing onto the user's hands may cause scalding to the user. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the defects of the water outlet nozzle of the water purifier in the prior art that the water outlet speed is fast and the water flow is unstable, and to provide a water nozzle structure and a water purifier including the same.

[0005] The utility model solves the above technical problems through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A faucet structure is used for a water purifier, comprising a water outlet component, wherein the water outlet component comprises at least three water outlet pipes, wherein the water outlet pipe closest to a water source among the multiple water outlet pipes is provided with a water inlet, and the water outlet pipe farthest from the water source is provided with a water outlet, after the incoming flow enters the water inlet from the water source, it passes through the multiple water outlet pipes in sequence and finally flows out from the water outlet, the multiple water outlet pipes are connected in sequence along the incoming flow direction, and the inner diameters of the multiple water outlet pipes increase in sequence along the incoming flow direction.

[0007] In this solution, after the water source enters the water outlet through the water inlet, the inner diameter of the multi-stage water pipe in the water outlet increases successively. Each increase in the diameter of the water outlet pipe can release the incoming flow pressure and reduce the incoming flow speed. After at least three water outlet pipes, the pressure is released at least twice, and the incoming flow pressure is relatively small, so that the water outflow speed of the water outlet of the water outlet is relatively small, avoiding the incoming flow from impacting the water receiving container and causing water splashing, thereby avoiding water splashing onto the hands or clothes of the user who takes water, causing a bad experience. At the same time, it is prevented that when the user receives boiled water, the boiled water splashes onto the user's hands and causes burns.

[0008] Preferably, the faucet structure further includes a diverter, and at least one of the outlet pipes is provided with a diverter, the diverter is connected to the inner wall surface of the outlet pipe, and along the incoming flow direction, the projection of the diverter partially covers the projection of the outlet pipe to which it is connected.

[0009] In this solution, a diverter is provided to further reduce the flow velocity and release the flow pressure, thereby preventing the water flowing out of the outlet from impacting the water receiving container and splashing onto the user's body or clothes, thereby improving the user experience.

[0010] Preferably, a surface of the flow divider facing the incoming flow direction is a curved surface.

[0011] In this solution, the side of the diverter facing the incoming flow direction is an arc surface. After the incoming flow hits the arc surface, it slides down along the arc surface, so that the incoming flow after the impact releases the pressure flows more evenly in the outlet pipe, which is conducive to the low-speed, stable and uniform flow of water at the outlet, reduces water splashing at the outlet, and improves user experience.

[0012] Preferably, the faucet structure further comprises a rectifying member, wherein the rectifying member is arranged in the water outlet pipe provided with the water outlet and is located downstream of the diverter member, and a through hole is formed on the rectifying member, and the axial direction of the through hole is not perpendicular to the incoming flow direction.

[0013] In this solution, a rectifying member is arranged in a water outlet pipe provided with a water outlet to gather and organize the incoming flow after the pressure has been released and the flow rate has been reduced, so that the incoming flow flows out of the water outlet pipe evenly, and the water output is more uniform and beautiful.

[0014] Preferably, there are multiple through holes, and the axial directions of the multiple through holes are parallel to the incoming flow direction.

[0015] In this solution, multiple through holes are provided to avoid increased pressure caused by water congestion while ensuring rectification, thereby avoiding an increase in water flow velocity, which is conducive to the uniform and stable outflow of water at the outlet, avoiding water splashing on users, and improving user experience.

[0016] Preferably, the faucet structure further comprises guide ribs, and the guide ribs are arranged on the inner wall surface of at least one of the water outlet pipes.

[0017] In this solution, by setting guide ribs, the incoming flow pressure is further released and the incoming flow velocity is reduced, which is conducive to the uniform and low-speed flow of water at the outlet and avoids the impact and splashing of high-speed water flow, thereby improving the user experience.

[0018] Preferably, the extending direction of the guide rib is the same as the incoming flow direction.

[0019] In this solution, the guide ribs are extended along the inner wall of the outlet pipe in the direction of the incoming flow, which can increase the structural strength of the outlet pipe and guide the incoming flow. While releasing the incoming flow pressure, it makes the incoming flow flow evenly and reduces disturbances, so that the water flow at the outlet is uniform and beautiful, reduces the flow rate to avoid splashing users, and improves the user experience.

[0020] Preferably, the faucet structure further comprises a shell, and at least a portion of the water outlet component is disposed in the shell.

[0021] In this solution, a shell is provided to protect the faucet structure, increase the structural strength, and reduce external pollution to the faucet structure.

[0022] Preferably, the faucet structure further comprises a support member, wherein the support member is connected to the outer peripheral surface of the water outlet member and abuts against the outer shell.

[0023] In this solution, a support member is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the water outlet member to improve the structural strength of the water outlet member. The support member abuts against the outer shell to prevent the faucet structure from shaking inside the outer shell, thereby making the water outlet more stable and preventing the faucet structure from being damaged due to shaking, thereby increasing its service life.

[0024] A water purifier comprises the water nozzle structure as described above.

[0025] In the present solution, by setting the water nozzle structure as described above in the water purifier, after the water source enters the water outlet through the water inlet, the inner diameter of the multi-stage water pipe in the water outlet increases successively. Each increase in the diameter of the water outlet pipe can release the incoming flow pressure and reduce the incoming flow speed. After passing through at least three water outlet pipes, that is, after releasing the pressure at least twice, the incoming flow pressure is relatively small, thereby making the water outlet flow rate of the water outlet of the water outlet smaller, thereby preventing the incoming flow from impacting the water receiving container and causing water splashing.

[0026] The positive progressive effect of the utility model is that after the water source enters the water outlet through the water inlet, the inner diameter of the multi-stage water pipe in the water outlet increases successively. Each increase in the diameter of the water outlet pipe can release the incoming flow pressure and reduce the incoming flow speed. After passing through at least three water outlet pipes, that is, after releasing the pressure at least twice, the incoming flow pressure is relatively small, thereby making the water outlet flow speed of the water outlet of the water outlet smaller, avoiding the incoming flow impacting the water receiving container and causing water splashing.

[0052] A preferred embodiment is given below, and the present invention is described more clearly and completely in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, this embodiment includes a faucet structure for a water purifier, which includes a water outlet 100, and the water outlet 100 includes three water outlet pipes: a first water outlet pipe 101, a second water outlet pipe 102, and a third water outlet pipe 103. The first water outlet pipe 101, the second water outlet pipe 102, and the third water outlet pipe 103 are connected in sequence along the incoming flow direction, and the diameter of the first water outlet pipe 101 is smaller than the diameter of the second water outlet pipe 102, and the diameter of the second water outlet pipe 102 is smaller than the diameter of the third water outlet pipe 103, wherein a water inlet 104 is provided on the first water inlet pipe, and a water outlet 105 is provided on the third water outlet pipe 103. After the incoming flow enters the water inlet 104 from the water source, it passes through the first water outlet pipe 101, the second water outlet pipe 102, and the third water outlet pipe 103 in sequence, and finally flows out from the water outlet 105. The incoming flow direction refers to Figure 2 Flow direction shown.

[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, after the water source enters the water outlet 100 through the water inlet 104, the inner diameter of the multi-stage water pipe in the water outlet 100 increases successively. Each increase in the diameter of the water outlet pipe can release the incoming flow pressure and reduce the incoming flow speed. After passing through three water outlet pipes, the pressure is released twice, and the incoming flow pressure is relatively small, so that the water outflow speed of the water outlet 105 of the water outlet 100 is relatively small, avoiding the incoming flow from impacting the water receiving container and causing water splashing, thereby avoiding water splashing onto the hands or clothes of the user who takes water, causing a bad experience. At the same time, it is prevented that when the user receives boiled water, the boiled water splashes onto the user's hands and causes burns to the user.

[0055] In other alternative embodiments, the number of water outlet pipes included in the water outlet member 100 is selected according to actual conditions. As long as there are at least three water outlet pipes, at least two pressure releases can be guaranteed. The specific number of water outlet pipes is not limited here.

[0056] In this embodiment, the diameter of the first water outlet pipe 101 is 2.2 mm, the diameter of the second water outlet pipe 102 is 3.3 mm, and the diameter of the third water outlet pipe 103 is 6.5 mm, so that a 6.4 mm diameter adapter is conveniently used. In other alternative embodiments, the diameter of the water outlet pipe is actually selected according to actual needs, and no specific limitation is made to this.

[0057] like Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the faucet structure also includes a diverter 200. In this embodiment, the diverter 200 is arranged in the third water outlet pipe 103. The diverter 200 is connected to the inner wall surface of the water outlet pipe. The projection of the diverter 200 along the incoming flow direction partially covers the projection of the water outlet pipe connected to it along the incoming flow direction. The incoming flow that has been released twice by pressure impacts the diverter 200, further reducing the flow velocity and releasing the pressure of the incoming flow, thereby preventing the water from splashing onto the hands or clothes of the user who is taking water, thereby improving the user experience. The third water outlet pipe 103 has the largest diameter. The diverter 200 is arranged therein to avoid blocking the flow channel and causing the water pressure to rise. The diverter 200 arranged in the third water outlet pipe 103 has the largest volume, and the requirements for precision manufacturing and processing are relatively low, thereby reducing costs.

[0058] In other alternative embodiments, the diverter 200 may also be arranged in the first water outlet pipe 101 or the second water outlet pipe 102, and the diverter 200 may be respectively arranged in the first water outlet pipe 101, the second water outlet pipe 102 and the third water outlet pipe 103 as needed, depending on the incoming flow pressure and the diameter of the water outlet pipe. The position and number of the diverter 200 are not specifically limited herein.

[0059] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the side of the diverter 200 facing the incoming flow direction is a curved surface. After the incoming flow hits the curved surface, it slides down along the curved surface, so that the incoming flow after the impact releases the pressure flows more evenly in the outlet pipe. In this embodiment, the side of the diverter 200 facing the incoming flow direction is an upwardly convex spherical surface. In other alternative embodiments, the curved surface can also be a downwardly concave spherical surface. After the incoming flow hits the curved surface, it is buffered and stays along the curved surface. Of course, the spherical surface can also be a curved surface of other shapes. The specific shape of the curved surface is selected according to actual conditions and is not limited here.

[0060] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the faucet structure further includes a rectifying member 300, which is disposed in the third water outlet pipe 103 and is located downstream of the diverter 200. The rectifying member 300 is provided with a through hole 301, and the axial direction of the through hole 301 is not perpendicular to the incoming flow direction. The rectifying member 300 is disposed in the water outlet pipe provided with the water outlet 105 to gather and sort out the incoming flow after the pressure has been released and the flow rate has been reduced, so that the incoming flow flows out of the water outlet pipe evenly, and the water output is more even and beautiful.

[0061] In other embodiments, in addition to setting a rectifying component 300 in a water outlet pipe having a water outlet 105, multiple rectifying components 300 may also be set in multiple water outlet pipes to repeat the rectifying-diverting process to fully release the pressure. It is only necessary to ensure that at least one rectifying component 300 is set between the water outlet 105 and the nearest diverting component 200.

[0062] like Figure 4 As shown, there are multiple through holes 301, and the axial directions of the multiple through holes 301 are parallel to the incoming flow direction. Arranging multiple through holes 301 can avoid pressure increase caused by waterway congestion while ensuring rectification, thereby avoiding an increase in water flow velocity, which is conducive to uniform and stable outflow of water at the water outlet 105, avoiding water splashing users, and improving user experience.

[0063] like Figure 2 , Figure 7 As shown, the faucet structure further includes a guide rib 400, and the guide rib 400 is arranged in the third water outlet pipe 103. By arranging the guide rib 400, the incoming flow pressure is further released and the incoming flow velocity is reduced.

[0064] In other alternative embodiments, whether to set the guide rib 400 in the first water outlet pipe 101, the second water outlet pipe 102 and the third water outlet pipe 103 can be determined according to factors such as the incoming flow velocity and the water outlet pipe diameter, which is not specifically limited here.

[0065] like Figure 2 , Figure 7 As shown, the extension direction of the guide rib 400 is the same as the incoming flow direction, which can increase the structural strength of the water outlet pipe and guide the incoming flow. While releasing the incoming flow pressure, it makes the incoming flow flow evenly and reduces disturbances, which is beneficial to the uniform and low-speed flow of water at the water outlet 105 and avoids high-speed water flow impact and splashing, thereby improving the user experience.

[0066] like Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the diverter 200 and the rectifying member 300 are sequentially arranged along the incoming flow direction. The incoming flow pressure is first released through the diverter 200 to reduce the incoming flow velocity. However, the water flow after passing through the diverter 200 is relatively turbulent and the water output is relatively uneven. Therefore, the rectifying member 300 is arranged after the diverter 200. The rectifying member 300 gathers and organizes the incoming flow after the pressure has been released and the flow velocity has been reduced, so that the incoming flow flows out of the water outlet pipe evenly, the water output is more uniform and beautiful, and the water flow shaking and scalding the user is avoided.

[0067] In other alternative embodiments, the guide ribs 400 may also be arranged circumferentially along the inner wall surface of the water outlet pipe, and the incoming flow is blocked by the guide ribs 400 to reduce the flow rate and release the pressure, thereby reducing the force of the water flow at the water outlet 105 that impacts the water receiving container and reducing the splashing of the water flow, thereby avoiding boiling water splashing on the user and improving the user experience.

[0068] like Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, the faucet structure also includes a shell 500, and at least part of the water outlet member 100 is disposed in the shell 500. The shell 500 is provided to protect the faucet structure, increase the structural strength, and reduce the external pollution of the faucet structure. The water outlet member 100 includes a water outlet member top plate 108 and a water outlet member bottom plate 107. The shell 500 includes a through hole. The water outlet member 100 is disposed through the through hole, and the water outlet member top plate 108 and the water outlet member bottom plate 107 are clamped at both ends of the through hole. In other words, in this embodiment, part of the water outlet member 100 is disposed in the shell 500. In other alternative embodiments, the water outlet member 100 can be completely disposed in the shell 500, thereby protecting the entire water outlet member 100, reducing the pollution of the water outlet member 100, and improving the service life.

[0069] In addition, a limiting groove is provided on the housing 500, and a limiting rib 109 matching the limiting groove is provided on the top plate 108 of the water outlet. The water outlet 100 is clamped in the limiting groove by the limiting rib 109 to fix the water outlet 100 and prevent the water outlet 100 from rotating. A fixing hole 501 is also provided on the housing 500 for fixing the faucet structure.

[0070] In this embodiment, the housing 500 is an injection molded part, which is further processed by electroplating to improve the aesthetics and enhance the user experience. In other alternative embodiments, the material and processing technology of the housing 500 are not limited.

[0071] like Figure 7 As shown, the faucet structure also includes a support member 106, one side of the support member 106 is connected to the outer peripheral surface of the water outlet member 100, so as to improve the structural strength of the water outlet member 100, and the other side of the support member 106 abuts against the inner wall surface of the housing 500. The water outlet member 100 is fixed in the housing 500 through the support member 106, so as to improve the structural strength of the faucet structure, and prevent the water outlet member 100 from shaking in the housing 500, so as to make the water outlet more stable. The inner wall surface of the housing 500 includes a groove structure 502, and the bottom of the support member 106 abuts against the upper surface of the groove structure 502, so as to fix the water outlet member 100. The side of the support member 106 abuts against the inner peripheral surface of the housing 500, so as to prevent the faucet structure from shaking in the housing 500, so as to make the water outlet more stable, and prevent the faucet structure from being damaged due to shaking, so as to improve the service life.

[0072] like Figure 6 As shown, three fixing holes 501 are also provided on the housing 500, and the fixing holes 501 are used to connect the faucet structure and the water purifier body, and the connection is stable to prevent the faucet structure from shaking and causing the water to shake, thereby avoiding scalding the user. In this embodiment, the support member 106 is made of silicone material, which can have a high heat insulation effect and prevent heat from being transferred to the housing 500 to scald the water-collecting personnel. In other alternative embodiments, the specific material of the support member 106 is selected according to the situation and is not limited here.

[0073] This embodiment also discloses a water purifier, which includes the above-mentioned water nozzle structure.

[0074] By setting the water nozzle structure as described above in the water purifier, after the water source enters the water outlet 100 through the water inlet 104, the inner diameter of the multi-stage water pipe in the water outlet 100 increases successively. Each increase in the diameter of the water outlet pipe can release the incoming flow pressure and reduce the incoming flow speed. After passing through at least three water outlet pipes, that is, after releasing the pressure at least twice, the incoming flow pressure is relatively small, thereby making the water outlet flow rate of the water outlet 105 of the water outlet 100 relatively small, thereby preventing the incoming flow from impacting the water receiving container and causing water splashing.

[0075] Those skilled in the art should understand that, in the disclosure of the present invention, the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, which are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.
