[0074] A preferred embodiment is given below, and the present invention is described more clearly and completely in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0075] Example 1

[0076] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a water outlet lifting structure 6, and also provides a water outlet device 1 used by the water outlet lifting structure 6. The water outlet device 1 is a water outlet device for water purification products such as a water dispenser or a water purifier. The water outlet device 1 includes a display screen 5, a frame 3, a water outlet 2, a water outlet lifting structure 6 and a water receiving tray 25, and the water outlet 2 is placed in the water outlet lifting structure 6.

[0077] like Figure 1-11 As shown, the water spout lifting structure 6 is installed on the water spout device 1 and is used to adjust the height of the water spout 2 of the water spout device 1. The water spout lifting structure 6 includes a water spout assembly 12 and a bracket 19. The water spout assembly 12 is used to place the water spout 2. The water spout assembly 12 is movably connected to the bracket 19, and the bracket 19 is installed on the frame 3. The water spout lifting structure 6 also includes a self-locking switch 7, which is installed on the bracket 19. The self-locking switch 7 includes a lock body 8 and a first connecting member 9 that is telescopic relative to the lock body 8. The first connecting member 9 is connected to the water spout assembly 12. The lock body 8 is used to lock the first connecting member 9 after the first connecting member 9 stops moving.

[0078] Specifically, in this embodiment, the bracket 19 is assembled by two first brackets 20 and second brackets 21 that are almost half-open. During assembly, the water outlet assembly 12 can be first installed between the two brackets, and then the two brackets can be closed and installed. The first connecting member 9 is a telescopic rod, one end of which is arranged in the inner cavity of the lock body 8 and can be freely extended and retracted, and the other end of the telescopic rod is connected to the water outlet assembly 12. When the user who needs to collect water manually pushes and pulls the water outlet assembly 12 to a suitable height, the movement of the telescopic rod is stopped. At this time, the other end of the telescopic rod in the lock body 8 triggers the locking mechanism in the lock body 8 (not shown in the figure), and the locking mechanism locks the telescopic rod, thereby locking the water outlet assembly 12 at the target height position desired by the user. Among them, the self-locking switch 7 can adopt the type of self-locking switch 7 in the prior art that can realize the above-mentioned free extension and locking at any height position.

[0079] The water spout lifting structure 6 is configured to adjust the height position of the water spout 2 by arranging the water spout assembly 12 and the bracket 19 along the height direction A and pushing the water spout assembly 12 to move relative to the bracket 19. The first connecting member 9 can be freely extended and retracted relative to the lock body 8, so that the first connecting member 9 can be locked at any position along its extension direction; and the first connecting member 9 is connected to the water spout assembly 12, so that the water spout assembly 12 and the first connecting member 9 are linked, thereby locking the water spout assembly 12 at any target height position; the self-locking switch 7 is used to improve the accuracy of locking positioning compared to other locking methods. In addition, by adjusting the installation position of the self-locking switch 7 and / or the extension length of the first connecting member 9, it can be adapted to the height adjustment needs of water spouts 2 of different lengths, and has a wide range of adaptability.

[0080] Among them, the first connecting member 9 is detachably connected to the water spout assembly 12, so that the first connecting member 9 of different lengths or the overall size of the self-locking switch 7 can be replaced according to the size of the water spout assembly 12 or the height range that needs to be adjusted. In other embodiments, the first connecting member 9 can also be fixedly connected to the water spout assembly 12 to improve the stability of the connection, but it is not as good as the detachable connection method used in this embodiment, so that the user can flexibly select the type of the self-locking switch 7 or adjust the height.

[0081] Among them, Figure 4-9 As shown, the water outlet assembly 12 also includes a water outlet housing 13 and a second connecting member 17 provided on the water outlet housing 13. The water outlet 2 is placed in the water outlet housing 13, and the second connecting member 17 is detachably connected to the first connecting member 9. In this embodiment, the second connecting member 17 is also a rod, and the top of the second connecting member 17 is processed into a flat plug 18. Correspondingly, the bottom of the first connecting member 9 is processed into a slot 10, and the plug 18 is inserted into the slot 10, and the shaft pin 11 passes through the through hole of the plug 18 and the slot 10, so as to realize the detachable connection between the second connecting member 17 and the first connecting member 9.

[0082] The water spout lifting structure 6 places the water spout 2 in the water spout housing 13 to protect the water spout 2 from damage. The second connecting member 17 is detachably connected to the first connecting member 9, which facilitates the connection operation of the two (including the self-locking switch 7 of the first connecting member 9 and the water spout housing 13 provided with the second connecting member 17), and there is a certain movable space between the second connecting member 17 and the first connecting member 9, so that when the water spout housing 13 is pushed and pulled to move on the bracket 19, the movable space can be adjusted automatically to avoid being stuck.

[0083] Among them, Figure 4-7As shown, the bracket 19 is provided with a slide groove 22 along the height direction A, and the water outlet housing 13 is provided with a flange 16, which is arranged in the slide groove 22 and is slidably connected with the slide groove 22. Specifically, in this embodiment, the bracket 19 is divided into two halves, a first bracket 20 and a second bracket 21, so that, correspondingly, the first bracket 20 and the second bracket 21 are both provided with a slide groove 22, and flanges 16 are respectively provided on both sides of the water outlet housing 13, thereby forming a sliding matching structure of two pairs of slide grooves 22 and flanges 16 on the left and right.

[0084] The slide groove 22 cooperates with the flange 16 to realize the sliding of the spout assembly 12 relative to the bracket 19, and the height position is adjusted by sliding, with small resistance and easy adjustment. In addition, the slide groove 22 forms a guide structure for the spout assembly 12, which is not easy to deviate from the position and has more reliable positioning.

[0085] In this embodiment, the water outlet shell 13 includes a first shell 14 and a second shell 15. The first shell 14 is specifically a square water outlet 2 outer cover, and the main body of the water outlet 2 is arranged in the water outlet 2 outer cover. The water outlet 2 passes through the water outlet 2 outer cover, so that the bottom end surface of the water outlet 2 is exposed at the bottom surface of the outer cover, so that the opening 4 of the water outlet 2 faces downward, just opposite to the container on the water receiving tray 25. The second shell 15 is a shell that matches the shape of the opening 4 of the first shell 14. The first shell 14 and the second shell 15 are provided with through holes at corresponding positions, and fasteners pass through the through holes, so as to realize the detachable connection between the first shell 14 and the second shell 15. Flanges 16 are provided on both sides of the second shell 15, and the flanges 16 on both sides are stuck in the slide groove 22, so that they can slide freely up and down.

[0086] The water spout lifting structure 6 divides the water spout housing 13 into two housings, which respectively realize the carrier (first housing 14) of the water spout 2 and the sliding carrier (second housing 15). The two functions are independent of each other and do not affect each other. In addition, when the two housings are disassembled, the water spout 2 in the first housing 14 can be taken out, which is convenient for cleaning or replacing the water spout 2.

[0087] The sliding part of the second housing 15 is divided into two parts, the upper part includes a flange 16, and the flange 16 of the upper part is stuck in the slide groove 22, and the lower part is retracted inward and stuck in the slot of the first housing 14, which guides the sliding of the second housing 15. The upper and lower parts of the second housing 15 form an inner concave step 151, and the first housing 14 is processed with an outer convex step 141 at the corresponding matching position, so that when assembling, the second housing 15 can use this inner concave step to be stuck on this outer convex step 141, accurately positioning the assembly hole between the second housing 15 and the first housing 14, and will not deviate from the correct assembly position, which is convenient for assembly operation.

[0088] In this embodiment, the second connecting member 17 is disposed on the surface of the second housing 15, and the second connecting member 17 pushes and pulls the second housing 15 and drives the first housing 14 to move, thereby realizing the movement of the entire water spout assembly 12. In other embodiments, according to the needs of the structural setting, the second connecting member 17 can also be disposed on the surface of the first housing 14, and the first housing 14 drives the second housing 15 to slide on the bracket 19.

[0089] Among them, Figure 4-7 As shown, the bracket 19 is provided with a first limiting structure 23 at the top of the slide groove 22 along the height direction A. Specifically, the first limiting mechanism is a protruding structure perpendicular to the slide groove 22, and the lower surface of the protruding structure forms a limiting surface, namely the upper limit surface 231. The upper limit surface 231 can prevent the flange 16 of the second shell 15 from sliding beyond the top of the slide groove 22.

[0090] Among them, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the water outlet device 1 provided in this embodiment has a frame 3 with an opening 4 for the water outlet assembly 12 to move along the height direction A, the water outlet assembly 12 is embedded in the opening 4, and the frame 3 is provided with a second limiting structure 24 at the bottom of the opening 4 along the height direction A. Specifically, the second limiting structure 24 is a limiting surface of the frame 3 at the bottom of the opening 4, that is, a lower limiting surface 241. When the entire water outlet assembly 12 is pulled downward, the bottom surface of the first housing 14 will be blocked by the lower limiting surface 241, thereby limiting the lowest position of the water outlet assembly 12 sliding in the height direction A.

[0091] The water spout lifting structure 6 limits the highest and lowest sliding positions of the water spout assembly 12 on the bracket 19 through the first limiting structure 23 and the second limiting structure 24, and adjusts the height of the water spout 2 according to the set sliding stroke range.

[0092] In other embodiments, according to the specific structure of the water outlet device 1, there are multiple limiting methods and limiting structures, which can be adjusted accordingly according to the needs of the limiting effect. For example, similar to the first limiting structure 23, a protruding structure perpendicular to the slide groove 22 can be provided at the bottom of the bracket 19 along the height direction A, which serves as the second limiting structure 24, and can also achieve the limitation of the lowest sliding position of the water outlet assembly 12, and will not fall off.

[0093] In this embodiment, the water outlet device 1 can adjust the height position of the water outlet 2 through the water outlet lifting structure 6, and lock the water outlet assembly 12 at any target height position; the self-locking switch 7 is adopted, and the accuracy of locking positioning is improved compared with other locking methods. In addition, by adjusting the installation position of the self-locking switch 7 and / or the telescopic length of the first connecting member 9, it can be suitable for the height adjustment needs of water outlets 2 of different lengths, and has a wide range of adaptability.

[0094] In other embodiments, according to the needs of installation and coordination, the frame 3 of the water outlet device 1 has different shapes and structural forms. Therefore, the shapes and structures of the various components of the water outlet lifting structure 6 can be adjusted accordingly according to the different coordination structures, and are not limited to the shapes and structures of the various combined components of the water outlet lifting structure 6 in this embodiment.
