Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of sanitary wares and relates to a waterway switching device with a boat-shaped switch. Background Art

[0002] Traditional waterway switching components, as key components in sanitary equipment, generally adopt the design of an internal ceramic valve core. This design can maintain stable performance during long-term use due to its excellent wear resistance, sealing performance, and corrosion resistance. However, its switching mechanism often relies on relatively traditional mechanical methods such as swinging rotation or flat rotation. While these methods bring stable water flow control, they also bring some inconveniences.

[0003] Specifically, due to the adoption of the switching methods of swinging or flat rotation, when users adjust the water flow or switch the water outlet mode, they need to apply a relatively large force, and the switching stroke is relatively long. This not only increases the complexity of operation during bathing but also may cause inconvenience in use, especially when quickly adjusting the water flow state is urgently needed. In addition, long-term use may exacerbate hand fatigue due to frequent operation, reducing the overall bathing experience. Summary of the Utility Model

[0039] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work belong to the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0040] Next, in conjunction with the attached Figure 1 to the attached Figure 15 and specific embodiments, the present utility model will be elaborated in detail:

[0041] Refer to Figures 1 - 3, A waterway switching device with a boat-shaped switch, including a main body pipe 1. A valve core 5 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the main body pipe 1. A bushing 6 is fixedly connected to the pressing and lifting member 21 of the valve core 5, and a waterway switching assembly is hinged to the bushing 6.

[0042] The waterway switching assembly includes a first panel 8-1, a bracket 11, and a boat-shaped switch 9. A switch hole 13 is provided on the surface of the first panel 8-1, and the boat-shaped switch 9 is installed in the switch hole 13. Two spaced installation blocks 14 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the first panel 8-1.

[0043] Furthermore, one end of the bracket 11 is hinged to the installation block 14, and the other end is hinged to the bushing 6. The bottom of the boat-shaped switch 9 is fixedly connected to the surface of the bracket 11.

[0044] Reference Figures 4 - 8 , Furthermore, a first rotation groove 15 is longitudinally provided on the side wall of each installation block 14. Two first rotation shafts 12 are horizontally provided on both sides of the first end of the bracket 11. Each first rotation shaft 12 is correspondingly rotationally connected in a first rotation groove 15, enabling the bracket 11 to make a small-range upward or downward rotation around the first rotation shaft 12. The cross-section of the first rotation groove 15 is C-shaped, and the opening of the C-shaped groove is slightly inwardly retracted, which can tightly hold it after rotation and prevent it from easily falling off.

[0045] Furthermore, two spaced assembly blocks 17 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the bracket 11. A second rotation shaft 7 is horizontally provided on the outer wall of the bushing 6. A second rotation groove 18 is longitudinally provided on the side wall of each assembly block 17. Each second rotation shaft 7 is correspondingly rotationally connected in a second rotation groove 18, enabling the bracket 11 to make a small-range upward or downward rotation around the second rotation shaft 7.

[0046] As Figures 9 - 11 shown, furthermore, in this embodiment, the main body pipe 1 is a special-shaped four-way pipe. The type of the valve core 5 adapted to the waterway switching assembly is a lifting type valve core. The valve core 5 is set to switch the water distribution by lifting and pressing up and down. By driving the valve core center rod 22 of the valve core 5 through the pressing and lifting member 21 to perform upward lifting and downward pressing movements, when the valve core 5 is pressed downward, it is in the first water distribution switching state; when lifted upward, it is in the second water distribution switching state.

[0047] The outer wall of the main body pipe 1 is provided with a water inlet end 2 and a first waterway outlet end 3, and the lower end pipe orifice is a second waterway outlet end 4. The valve core 5 has a first water outlet, a water inlet, and a second water outlet arranged from top to bottom. The water inlet and the water inlet end 2 are at the same height and are connected. The first waterway outlet end 3 and the first water outlet are at the same height and are connected. The second water outlet is connected to the second waterway outlet end 4.

[0048] The first water diversion state switching water diversion movement: The water flow A29 entering from the water inlet end 2 passes through the water channel b 30 and then enters the valve core 5 through the water inlet holes c 1 31 and the water inlet hole c 2 32. Then it enters the inner chamber of the valve core 5 through the small holes of the upper diaphragm 33 and the lower diaphragm 34. In this state, since the water outlet hole g 39 is sealed and blocked between the central rod 22 of the valve core and the lower diaphragm 34, and at the same time the water outlet hole e 35 is opened due to the gap generated between the central rod 22 of the valve core and the upper diaphragm 33, the water flow A29 flows from the water outlet hole e 35 to the water outlet hole f 37 and then flows out to the water passing channel d 38, and then flows out from the water outlet end 3 of the first water diversion path.

[0049] The second water diversion state switching water diversion movement: The water flow A 29 entering from the water inlet end passes through the water channel b30 and then enters the valve core through the water inlet holes c 1 31 and the water inlet hole c 2 32. Then it enters the inner chamber of the valve core through the small holes of the upper diaphragm 33 and the lower diaphragm 34. In this state, since the water outlet hole e 35 is sealed and blocked between the central rod 22 of the valve core and the upper diaphragm 33, and at the same time, due to the central rod 22 of the valve core being lifted up, the water outlet hole g 39 between the central rod 22 and the lower diaphragm 34 is completely opened, the water flow A 29 flows out from the water outlet hole g 39 to the water passing channel h 36, and then flows out from the water outlet end 4 of the second water diversion path.

[0050] Furthermore, the inner wall of the main body pipe 1 is provided with threads, and the outer wall of the valve core 5 is provided with threads. The valve core 5 is threadedly fixed to the inner wall of the main body pipe 1. During installation, the valve core 5 needs to be inserted into the main body pipe 1, and at the same time, the matching threads are screwed in to prevent it from loosening. Since the valve core is provided with a sealing member at the corresponding position, good sealing performance can be ensured after the threads are tightened.

[0051] Furthermore, the bushing 6 is provided with a threaded hole, and a fastening bolt 19 is threadedly connected in the threaded hole. After passing through the threaded hole, the fastening bolt 19 is threadedly connected in the threaded hole at the top of the pressing and lifting member 21 of the valve core 5. The bushing 6 is assembled to the valve core 5 through the fastening bolt 19, so that the bushing 6 will not slide or rotate on the valve core 5 and can only move up and down with the valve core 5.

[0052] Reference Figure 12 , furthermore, the switch hole 13 is an arc-shaped hole position, the inner wall of the switch hole 13 is an arc-shaped surface 20, and there is a gap between the inner wall of the switch hole 13 and the boat-shaped switch 9. The first panel 8-1 is cut with an arc-shaped hole position as the switch hole 13 for installing the boat-shaped switch 9. The inner wall of the switch hole 13 adopts the arc-shaped surface 20. The arc-shaped hole position and the arc-shaped surface 20 can ensure that the gap between the first panel 8-1 and the boat-shaped switch 9 is uniform, so that when the boat-shaped switch 9 is pressed, it will not be stuck and there will be no interference between the two.

[0053] Further, the waterway switching component further includes a second panel 8-2, which is located below the first panel 8-1. An installation hole 16 is provided on the surface of the second panel 8-2. The bushing 6 passes through the installation hole 16, and the second panel 8-2 is fixedly connected to the main body pipe 1;

[0054] Reference Figure 13 , further, at least one guiding column 10-1 is longitudinally arranged on the outer wall of the bushing 6. Guiding grooves 10 matching the shape and number of the guiding columns 10-1 are provided at the edge of the installation hole 16. The guiding columns 10-1 are inserted into the guiding grooves 10, and the vertical guiding columns 10-1 are restricted to move linearly by the guiding grooves 10.

[0055] Further, an installation plate 23 is horizontally arranged on the outer wall of the main body pipe 1. At least one first installation pipe 24 is provided on the installation plate 23. Threads are provided on the inner wall of the first installation pipe 24. A second installation pipe 25 is provided on the surface of the second panel 8-2. Threads are provided on the inner wall of the second installation pipe 25. The first installation pipe 24 and the second installation pipe 25 are coaxially arranged and have the same inner diameter. An installation bolt 26 passes through the first installation pipe 24 and the second installation pipe 25 and is threadedly connected to both of them.

[0056] Reference Figure 14 、 15 , further, a switch bayonet 27 is provided on the upper surface of the bracket 11. The boat-shaped switch 9 is provided with a first buckle 28, and the first buckle 28 is snapped into the switch bayonet 27. During assembly, the first buckle 28 is snapped into the switch bayonet 27, so that when the boat-shaped switch 9 is pressed to drive the bracket 11 to move, the bracket 11 will not be separated from the upper boat-shaped switch 9.

[0057] The waterway switching device with a boat-shaped switch provided by the present invention has the advantages that the device is easy to operate. By pressing or lifting the boat-shaped switch, the waterway can be switched. The operation is simple and intuitive, and the user can easily complete the waterway switching without complex operations. And the whole device is designed compactly. The waterway switching component and the main body pipe are ingeniously hinged and threadedly connected, making the overall structure compact and stable, not occupying too much installation space. The switch hole is designed with an arc-shaped hole position and an arc-shaped surface, ensuring that the boat-shaped switch will not be stuck or interfered when pressed, improving the user experience.

[0058] The various components in the device are connected by threads or hinges, making the installation and maintenance processes simple and fast, reducing the installation and maintenance costs, applicable to a variety of different waterway switching scenarios. By adjusting the structure and configuration of the waterway switching component, different needs of different users can be met.

[0059] The waterway switching device with a boat-shaped switch provided by the present utility model has the following working principle. When pressing down with hand at the upturned end of the boat-shaped switch 9, restricted by the first buckle 28, the bracket 11 moves simultaneously, causing the boat-shaped switch 9 and the bracket 11 to rotate upward or downward within a small range with the first rotating shaft 12 as the axis. When the bracket 11 moves, it drives the bushing 6 to move simultaneously. However, due to the space limitation of the first rotating groove, it is converted into the up-and-down movement of the bushing 6, pulling the pressing and lifting member 21 and the valve core center rod 22 to move up and down. Since a stroke limit is provided inside the valve core 5, when the valve core 5 moves to the limit position, it will no longer move. At this time, the valve core 5 completely reaches one of the water distribution states. After that, when pressing down with hand at the upturned end of the other side of the boat-shaped switch 9, by the same principle as the above movement, the valve core 5 can completely reach the other water distribution state.

[0060] The present utility model has been further described above with reference to specific embodiments. However, it should be understood that the specific description herein should not be construed as a limitation on the essence and scope of the present utility model. Various modifications made by those of ordinary skill in the art to the above embodiments after reading this specification all fall within the scope protected by the present utility model.
