[0052] The following is an introduction to the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0053] refer to Figures 1 to 4 According to the embodiment of the present application, the water outlet device includes a device body 100, a valve core assembly 200 and a water flow monitoring assembly 300. The device body 100 is provided with a water flow channel 110, a water outlet 120 and at least two water inlets 130, each water inlet 130 and the water outlet 120 are connected to the water flow channel 110, the water flow channel 110 is used to provide a flow path for the water flow, the two water inlets 130 are respectively connected to the cold water source and the hot water source to inject cold water and hot water into the water flow channel 110, and the water outlet 120 is used to connect to a water spraying part such as a shower. The valve core assembly 200 is connected to the device body 100, and at least a part of the valve core assembly 200 is located in the water flow channel 110. The valve core assembly 200 includes at least an inlet and an outlet, both of which are connected to the water flow channel 110. The valve core assembly 200 is used to adjust the water flow state of the water flow, and the water flow state includes but is not limited to the water flow temperature, the water flow position and other states. The water flow monitoring component 300 is connected to the device body 100, and the water flow monitoring component 300 includes a detection component, a controller 320 and a sound component 330. The detection component is electrically connected to the controller 320, and the sound component 330 is electrically connected to the controller 320. The detection component is located in the water flow channel 110, and at least one detection component is provided between the valve core component 200 and the water outlet 120. The detection component is used to detect the state of water flow flowing out of the outlet.

[0054] Specifically, the controller 320 is configured to receive detection information from the detection element, which may include information such as water flow temperature and water flow position. When the detection information detected by the detection element changes, that is, the water flow temperature changes, the water outlet position changes, etc., the controller 320 controls the sounding element 330 to make a sound broadcast of the current water outlet state according to the changed detection information. The sound broadcast may be voice or just a prompt sound. Compared with adjusting the water outlet state by the user observing the water outlet mark, it is more convenient and quick, saving time in adjusting the water outlet state.

[0055] It should be noted that the detection element can be a temperature sensor. The detection element is installed in the water flow channel 110, which can detect the water temperature in the water flow channel 110 more accurately. Compared with installing the detection element outside the water flow channel 110, it effectively avoids the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the water flow channel 110 and affects the accuracy of temperature detection. The temperature detection is more accurate, which is convenient for users to get a more comfortable shower water temperature experience. The controller 320 and the sounding element 330 can both be located outside the water flow channel 110 to prevent the controller 320 and the sounding element 330 from contacting water, which is beneficial to ensure the normal function of the controller 320 and the sounding element 330, and prevent the controller 320 and the sounding element 330 from occupying the space in the water flow channel 110. The sounding element 330 is located outside the water flow channel 110 and the sound is clearer, which is convenient for users to perceive.

[0056] refer to Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, the valve core assembly 200 includes a thermostatic valve core 220, which is located in the water flow channel 110. The detection element includes at least a first detection element 310, which is located downstream of the thermostatic valve core 220. It should be noted that along the direction of water flow, the water flows from upstream to downstream, that is, the water flows through the thermostatic valve core 220 first, and then through the first detection element 310. The first detection element 310 is used to detect the water flow temperature adjusted by the thermostatic valve core 220. The controller 320 is configured to control the sounding element 330 to voice broadcast the current water flow temperature according to the first detection information after the water flow temperature changes, that is, the sounding element 330 voice broadcasts the water flow temperature once each time the water flow temperature changes. It is used to provide voice reminders when the user adjusts the water temperature, avoiding interference from the poor visual environment of the bathroom, and making water temperature adjustment more convenient.

[0057] For example, the first detection component 310 detects that the water temperature in the water flow channel 110 is 40°C, and feeds back the detected temperature value to the controller 320. The controller 320 controls the sound component 330 to make a sound announcement: 40°C, wherein the controller 320 can be a PCB component and the sound component 330 can be a speaker.

[0058] It should be noted that the water flow channel 110 includes a branch channel and a main channel. The two water inlets 130 are respectively connected to different branch channels, and the branch channels are connected to the main channel. The thermostatic valve core 220 is located at the connection between the main channel and the branch channels. Cold water and hot water flow to the main channel through different branch channels respectively. The thermostatic valve core 220 adjusts the water temperature in the main channel by changing the ratio of cold water and hot water flowing into the main channel. The first detection component 310 is installed in the main channel and is located downstream of the thermostatic valve core 220. It is used to detect the water temperature after adjustment by the thermostatic valve core 220. When the water temperature changes, the changed water temperature value is announced by voice. Compared with obtaining the water temperature through visual methods such as water temperature signs or display screens, it is more convenient for users to obtain the water temperature value through sound, and obtain a comfortable shower experience with water temperature.

[0059] refer to Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, the device body 100 includes at least two water outlets 120, the valve core assembly 200 also includes a switching valve core 210, the switching valve core 210 is located in the water flow channel, the detection component also includes a second detection component 340, and the switching valve core 210 is located upstream of the second detection component 340, the number of the second detection components 340 is equal to the number of the water outlets 120, each second detection component 340 is electrically connected to the controller 320, and each second detection component 340 is connected to each water outlet 120 in a one-to-one correspondence, the detection information also includes second detection information detected by the second detection component 340, the switching valve core 210 is used to switch the flow direction of water flow so that the water flows out from any water outlet 120, and the second detection component is configured to transmit the second detection information to the controller 320 when the water flows through the water outlet 120 corresponding to the position, so that the controller 320 controls the sound component 330 to voice broadcast the current water outlet position, and sound to remind the user of the switch of the water outlet position. It effectively avoids the interference of water stains, foam and other obstructions on the water outlet device, making it easier for users to determine the water outlet position.

[0060] For example, the water outlet device is provided with two water outlets 120, and the two water outlets 120 are respectively connected to the shower and the lower faucet. The second detection member 340 is connected to both water outlets 120. The second detection member 340 can be a sensor that can detect water flow, such as a Hall effect water flow sensor and an ultrasonic water flow sensor. By rotating the switching valve core 210, water can be switched from different water outlets 120. When water flows out from the water outlet 120 connected to the shower, the second detection member 340 detects the water flow and transmits the second detection information to the controller 320. The controller 320 determines that water flows out from the water outlet 120 connected to the shower according to the second detection information, and controls the sounding member 330 to make a sound: the shower is discharging water. The announcement of water discharging from the lower faucet is the same as the announcement of water discharging from the shower.

[0061] refer to Figures 1 to 4In some embodiments, the second detection member 340 includes a sensing portion 341 and a rotating portion 342, the rotating portion 342 is located inside the water outlet 120, the sensing portion 341 is connected to the device body 100, the sensing portion 341 is located outside the water outlet 120, the sensing portion 341 is electrically connected to the controller 320, and the rotating portion 342 is configured to rotate relative to the device body 100 when water flows through, so as to change the magnetic field signal at the water outlet 120 where the rotating portion 342 is located. The sensing portion 341 receives the magnetic field signal and transmits the second detection information to the controller 320 according to the magnetic field signal. The controller 320 controls the sounding member 330 to make a sound according to the second detection information, so as to announce the water outlet position and remind the user.

[0062] Specifically, the sensing part 341 is arranged corresponding to the position of the second detection member 340. The second detection member 340 and the sensing part 341 are separated by the channel wall of the water flow channel 110, and there is no connection between the two. The sensing part 341 is arranged outside the water outlet 120 to prevent the sensing part 341 from contacting with water, which is beneficial to ensure the normal operation of the sensing part 341. The sounding member 330 broadcasts the water outlet position. After the sounding member 330 broadcasts the water flow temperature, the water flow temperature and the water outlet position are broadcasted, which is convenient for the user to predict the water outlet temperature and the water outlet position of the water outlet device in advance.

[0063] It should be noted that the rotating part 342 can be a Hall rotor, and the sensing part 341 can be a Hall sensor. The rotating part 342 is arranged inside the water outlet 120. When water flows through the Hall rotor, it will drive the Hall rotor to rotate and generate a magnetic field signal. The sensing part 341 can sense the magnetic field change and feedback the second detection information to the controller 320. The controller 320 determines the water outlet position according to the second detection information and controls the sound element 330 to make a sound to remind the user.

[0064] refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the first detection member 310 includes a power generation unit 311 and a temperature detection unit 312, the power generation unit 311 is connected to the temperature detection unit 312, the power generation unit 311 and the temperature detection unit 312 are both electrically connected to the controller 320, and the temperature detection unit 312 is located downstream of the thermostatic valve core 220, and the power generation unit 311 is configured to generate electric energy when water flows through the power generation unit 311 to supply power to the controller 320, and the controller 320 can supply power to other electrically connected parts. For example, the power generation unit 311 of the first detection member 310 can be a hydroelectric generator with a temperature detection function, and the hydroelectric generator has both hydroelectric power generation and temperature detection functions. The hydroelectric generator can realize temperature detection and supply power to the controller 320, so there is no need to set up additional power supply devices such as batteries to supply power to the controller 320, the first detection member 310, the sounding member 330, the sensing unit 341 and other components, so that the water outlet device is more energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

[0065] It should be noted that the power generation unit 311 generates electric energy when water is discharged from the water outlet 120, and the controller 320 receives the electric energy generated by the power generation unit 311 and enters the working state. The specific working process is to open the water outlet structure such as the shower connected to the water outlet 120, the water flow generates electric energy through the power generation unit 311, the water outlet device starts to work, and the current water outlet position is broadcasted. The user can adjust the switching valve core 210 and / or the thermostatic valve core 220, and the water flow temperature is broadcasted when the water flow temperature meets the broadcasting conditions, and the water outlet position is broadcasted when the water outlet position changes.

[0066] refer to Figures 3 to 7 In some embodiments, the water outlet device also includes an adjusting structure 400 and a shell 500, the adjusting structure 400 is connected to the valve core assembly 200, the shell 500 is provided with a accommodating chamber 510, and the device body 100 is arranged in the accommodating chamber 510, wherein the adjusting structure 400 has a first state and a second state, and the adjusting structure 400 can move relative to the shell 500 along a first direction to switch states. In the first state, the adjusting structure 400 is accommodated in the accommodating chamber 510, and in the second state, a part of the adjusting structure 400 protrudes out of the accommodating chamber 510, and the rotating adjusting structure 400 can drive the valve core assembly 200 to rotate to adjust the water outlet state of the water flow, thereby being able to have both the water outlet state adjustment function and the hidden function of the adjusting structure 400, which helps to avoid collision with the adjusting assembly 430 and make the water outlet device more beautiful.

[0067] Specifically, the valve core assembly 200 includes a switching valve core 210 and a thermostatic valve core 220. Along the first direction, the switching valve core 210 and the thermostatic valve core 220 are arranged at intervals. The core shafts of the switching valve core 210 and the thermostatic valve core 220 extend along the first direction. The switching valve core 210 and the thermostatic valve core 220 are both connected to an adjustment structure 400. The switching valve core 210 or the thermostatic valve core 220 can be adjusted separately through the adjustment structure 400. Pressing the adjustment structure 400 along the first direction can achieve the extension and shortening of the adjustment structure 400 along the first direction. When shortened, it corresponds to the first state. In the first state, the regulating structure 400 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 510, so that the regulating structure 400 is hidden. When extended, it corresponds to the second state. In the second state, a part of the regulating structure 400 protrudes out of the accommodating cavity 510. By rotating the protruding part, the core shaft of the switching valve core 210 or the thermostatic valve core 220 can be driven to rotate. Therefore, the user can realize the protrusion and hiding of the regulating structure 400 by pressing the regulating structure 400. Hiding the regulating structure 400 after showering is beneficial to protecting the regulating structure 400 and reducing the probability of bumping the regulating structure 400.

[0068] refer to Figures 2 to 5In some embodiments, the adjustment structure 400 includes a ratchet seat 410, a ratchet assembly 420, an adjustment assembly 430 and an elastic member 440. The ratchet assembly 420 is connected to the inner wall of the ratchet seat 410. The adjustment assembly 430 is rotatably connected to the ratchet assembly 420, and the adjustment assembly 430 is connected to the valve core assembly 200. Along the first direction, one end of the elastic member 440 abuts the adjustment assembly 430, and the other end of the elastic member 440 abuts the ratchet assembly 420. The elastic member 440 is used to provide the adjustment assembly 430 with power to move relative to the ratchet seat 410 along the first direction, so that a part of the adjustment assembly 430 protrudes out of the accommodating chamber 510. In the second state, rotating the adjustment assembly 430 with the first direction as the axis can drive the core shaft of the valve core assembly 200 to rotate, thereby realizing the adjustment of the valve core assembly 200. Rotating the valve core assembly 200 is used to adjust the water outlet temperature and water outlet position.

[0069] Specifically, the valve core assembly 200 includes a thermostatic valve core 220 and a switching valve core 210. The rotating thermostatic valve core 220 can adjust the mixing ratio of cold water and hot water in the water flow channel 110 to achieve water temperature regulation. The rotating switching valve core 210 can guide the water flow to flow along different paths, so that the water can flow out from different water outlets 120 to achieve the adjustment of the water outlet position. The thermostatic valve core 220 and the switching valve core 210 are respectively connected to different adjustment components 430. The rotation of the adjustment component 430 can drive the thermostatic valve core 220 or the switching valve core 210 to rotate, and cooperate with the adjustment structure 400 to have a first state and a second state. It can not only realize the adjustment of the valve core assembly 200, but also hide the adjustment structure 400 in the accommodating cavity 510 when the user does not need to adjust it, effectively preventing the user from bumping into the adjustment structure 400, which is safer.

[0070] It should be noted that the adjustment component 430 can drive the ratchet component 420 to move relative to the ratchet seat 410 along the first direction. When a part of the ratchet component 420 is separated from the ratchet seat 410, it can rotate relative to the ratchet seat 410. Under the action of the elastic member 440, the ratchet component 420 can abut the ratchet seat 410 along the first direction to limit the movement of the ratchet component 420 relative to the ratchet seat 410 along the first direction, and is in the first state at this time. Alternatively, the ratchet component 420 can rotate relative to the ratchet seat 410 along the first direction, and is in the second state at this time, thereby realizing the switching of the adjustment structure 400 between the first state and the second state.

[0071] refer to Figures 8 to 11In other embodiments, the ratchet seat 410 can be cylindrical, and along the circumference of the ratchet seat 410, the inner circumferential wall of the ratchet seat 410 is alternately provided with limiting ribs and guide grooves, and along the first direction, each limiting rib is provided with a first guiding bevel tooth at one end close to the valve core assembly 200, and the ratchet assembly 420 includes a first ratchet 424 and a first ratchet 424, and the first ratchet 424 is connected to the second ratchet 425, which is used to limit the first ratchet 424 and the second ratchet 425 from separating from each other along the first direction, and a first limiting protrusion is provided on the outer circumferential wall of the first ratchet 424, and a second limiting protrusion is provided on the outer circumferential wall of the second ratchet 425, and the first limiting protrusion and the second limiting protrusion are both located in the guide groove, so that the first ratchet 424 and the second ratchet 425 can slide relative to the ratchet seat 410 along the first direction, and when the ratchet assembly 420 approaches the valve body assembly along the first direction relative to the ratchet seat 410, the elastic member 440 is compressed.

[0072] The adjustment assembly 430 includes a first adjustment member 431 and a second adjustment member 432. The first adjustment member 431 and the second adjustment member 432 are slidably connected along a first direction, and the first adjustment member 431 and the second adjustment member 432 are prohibited from rotating relative to each other with the first direction as the axis. The second adjustment member 432 is connected to the valve core assembly 200. Rotating the first adjustment member 431 can drive the second adjustment member 432 to rotate, thereby driving the core shaft of the valve core assembly 200 to rotate and adjust the water flow. The first adjustment member 431 is also rotatably connected to the first ratchet 424, and can drive the first ratchet 424 to move along the first direction.

[0073] Specifically, the switching between the first state and the second state is achieved by the cooperation of various parts. For example, in the second state, the user presses the first adjusting member 431 along the first direction, and the first adjusting member 431 slides relative to the second adjusting member 432 along the first direction to approach the valve core assembly 200. The first adjusting member 431 also drives the first ratchet 424 and the second ratchet 425 to move relative to the ratchet seat 410 along the first direction. When the second limiting protrusion is disengaged from the guide groove, the second limiting protrusion abuts against the first guiding bevel teeth. The first guiding bevel teeth have a guiding effect, so that the second ratchet 425 can rotate relative to the first ratchet 424. The first guiding bevel teeth limit the movement of the first ratchet 424 and the second ratchet 425 relative to the ratchet seat 410, thereby accommodating the adjusting assembly 430 in the accommodating chamber 510. At this time, the adjusting structure 400 is in the first state, and the elastic member 440 is compressed in the first state.

[0074] In the first state, the user presses the first adjusting member 431, and the first adjusting member 431 moves relative to the second adjusting member 432 along the first direction. At the same time, the first adjusting member 431 drives the first ratchet 424 and the second ratchet 425 to slide relative to the ratchet seat 410 along the first direction, and the second limiting protrusion loses contact with the first guiding bevel tooth. Along the first direction, the end of the first ratchet 424 close to the valve core assembly 200 is provided with a second guiding bevel tooth. Under the action of the second guiding bevel tooth, the second limiting protrusion rotates relative to the first ratchet 424, and the user stops pressing the first adjusting member 431. 1. Under the action of the elastic member 440, the second ratchet 425 moves along the first direction toward the direction away from the valve core assembly 200, and the second limiting protrusion abuts against the first guiding bevel tooth again, and the second ratchet 425 rotates relative to the first ratchet 424 again, so that the second limiting protrusion is embedded in the guiding groove. At this time, the first limiting protrusion and the second limiting protrusion are both located in the guiding groove, so that the first ratchet 424 and the second ratchet 425 can move together along the first direction until a part of the adjusting structure 400 protrudes out of the accommodating cavity 510, and at this time the adjusting structure 400 is in the second state.

[0075] refer to Figures 3 to 11 In some embodiments, the water outlet device also includes a knob 460 and a seal 450. The knob 460 is connected to the adjustment structure 400. The inner wall of the seal 450 abuts the adjustment structure 400, and the outer wall of the seal 450 abuts the shell 500. The seal 450 is used to seal the gap between the knob 460 and the shell 500 to prevent water from entering the accommodating cavity 510.

[0076] It should be noted that, along the first direction, the end of the first adjusting member 431 away from the valve core assembly 200 may be connected to a knob 460 for the convenience of the user to turn. A sealing member 450 is also provided between the outer peripheral wall of the knob and the housing 500. The sealing member 450 may be a rubber ring that can produce elastic deformation and is used to seal the gap between the outer peripheral wall of the knob and the housing 500.

[0077] refer to Figure 3 It should be noted that the water flow monitoring component 300 is located in the accommodating cavity 510. Improving the sealing performance of the accommodating cavity 510 can effectively prevent the controller 320, the sounding member 330 and other parts of the water flow monitoring component 300 from contacting water, which is beneficial to extending the service life of the water outlet device.

[0078] refer to Figure 5 In other embodiments, a buckling structure 411 is further provided on the ratchet seat 410, and the buckling structure 411 is arranged on the inner wall of the ratchet seat 410. The second adjusting member 432 abuts against the buckling structure 411. The buckling structure 411 can limit the movement stroke of the second adjusting member 432 relative to the ratchet seat 410 along the first direction, and can also take into account the movement of the second adjusting member 432 relative to the ratchet seat 410.

[0079] refer to Figures 5 to 8 In some embodiments, the ratchet assembly 420 also includes a guide member 421, which is provided with a guide through hole 422 extending along the first direction, and the adjustment member 430 is inserted into the guide through hole 422. The guide member 421 is also provided with a protrusion 423, and the protrusion 423 is connected to the outer peripheral wall of the guide member 421. Along the first direction, one end of the elastic member 440 abuts against the adjustment member 430, and the other end of the elastic member 440 abuts against the protrusion 423, and at least a portion of the elastic member 440 is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the guide member 421. The guide member 421 is used to provide guidance for the elastic member 440 to ensure that the elastic force generated by the elastic member 440 extends along the first direction.

[0080] It should be noted that the protrusion 423 abuts against the second ratchet 425 along the first direction, the elastic member 440 may be a spring, and the elastic member 440 may indirectly provide an elastic force along the first direction to the second ratchet 425 through the protrusion 423 to adjust the state of the structure 400 .
