Exemplarily, some embodiments of the present application take the water outlet device applied to a shower head as an example for illustration.

[0043] Some embodiments of the present application provide a water outlet device 100. Please refer to Figures 1-4 , Figure 1 which is a perspective view of the water outlet device 100 in some embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 which is an exploded perspective view of the water outlet device 100 in some embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 which is a top view of the water outlet device 100 in some embodiments of the present application, Figure 4 is Figure 3 a cross-sectional view taken along the A-A viewing direction in

[0044] The water outlet device 100 includes a main body 10, a water outlet body 20, an inner core 30, and a driving part 40. The water outlet body 20 is connected to the main body 10 and together with the main body 10 encloses a cavity. The main body 10 has a water inlet hole 11 communicating with the cavity, and the water outlet body 20 has a water outlet hole 21 communicating with the cavity. The inner core 30 includes a sliding member 31 and a functional member 32 arranged along the first direction z. The sliding member 31 is slidably connected to the main body 10 along the first direction z. The functional member 32 is located in the cavity. The functional member 32 has a flow channel 320. A flow channel outlet 321 communicating with the flow channel 320 is formed on the side of the functional member 32 facing away from the sliding member 31. The first direction z is parallel to the axial direction of the water outlet hole 21. The driving part 40 is arranged on the main body 10 and connected to the sliding member 31 for driving the main body 10 to slide along the first direction z so that the functional member 32 is inserted into or separated from the water outlet hole 21.

[0045] The structural member formed by the main body 10 and the water outlet body 20 can be the housing of the water outlet device 100. In some embodiments, the main body 10 and the water outlet body 20 can be covered with each other, and the two together enclose a chamber. A sealing ring can be provided at the interface where the main body 10 and the water outlet body 20 are connected to each other. The connection relationship between the main body 10 and the water outlet body 20 includes but is not limited to snap connection, bonding, and threaded connection. Exemplarily, an opening is formed on the side of the main body 10 facing the water outlet body 20. The main body 10 covers the water outlet body 20. The inner wall of the main body 10 is snap-connected to the inner wall of the water outlet body 20, and a sealing ring 50 is provided therebetween. A bolt is provided between the main body 10 and the water outlet body 20, and the bolt connects the main body 10 and the water outlet body 20.

[0046] In some embodiments, the first direction z is parallel to the axial direction of the water outlet device 100. Along the first direction z, a water inlet hole 11 is formed on the side of the main body 10 facing away from the water outlet body 20. The water inlet hole 11 can be tubular and can be connected to a water pipe. The water flow in the water pipe can enter the chamber through the water inlet hole 11. In some embodiments, a filter screen can be provided in the water inlet hole 11. In some other embodiments, the water inlet hole 11 can also be formed at other parts of the main body 10. Exemplarily, the water inlet hole 11 can also be formed on the outer periphery of the main body 10.

[0047] In some embodiments, along the first direction z, a water outlet hole 21 is formed on the side of the water outlet body 20 facing away from the main body 10. The water in the chamber is ejected through the water outlet hole 21. Optionally, a water outlet nozzle is provided on the side of the water outlet body 20 facing away from the main body 10. The water outlet nozzle protrudes from the water outlet body 20, and the water outlet nozzle forms the water outlet hole 21.

[0048] The inner core 30 can be a structural member capable of switching different types of water sprays. The inner core includes a sliding member 31 and a functional member 32. The sliding member 31 is used to move the inner core 30 in the first direction z to change the positional relationship of the functional member 32 in the chamber. The functional member 32 is formed with a flow channel 320. When water flows through the flow channel 320 of the functional member 32, functional water can be formed. Exemplarily, after the water flows through the flow channel 320 of the functional member 32, under the action of the flow channel 320 of the functional member 32, its pressure, the attitude of the water flow or other states change, so that the water flow ejected from the flow channel outlet 321 presents water sprays including but not limited to spray water, pressurized water or other functional water.

[0049] The driving part 40 is a mechanism connected to the sliding member 31 to enable the functional member 32 to insert into or leave the water outlet hole 21.

[0050] The insertion of the functional member 32 into the water outlet hole 21 can be understood as that a part of the functional member 32 is located in the water outlet hole 21. The water flow in the chamber needs to act on the flow channel 320 of the functional member 32, and is directly discharged into the water outlet hole 21 from the flow channel outlet 321 and ejected from the water outlet hole 21. At this time, the water spray ejected from the water outlet hole 21 can be functional water.

[0051] The separation of the functional member 32 from the water outlet hole 21 can be understood as that the functional member 32 is far away from the water outlet hole 21, and the water flow in the chamber can be directly ejected from the water outlet hole 21. At this time, the water spray ejected from the water outlet hole 21 can be ordinary water spray.

[0052] In the above solution, by the drive of the drive part 40, the position of the functional member 32 relative to the water outlet hole 21 is changed, so that different types of water sprays are ejected from the water outlet hole 21. On the one hand, the operation is convenient, different types of water sprays can be provided to meet the use requirements; on the other hand, the internal water path structure of the water outlet device 100 is simple, reducing the risk of unstable water sprays caused by uneven pressure loss due to too many water path conversions during the water flow, and enabling the water sprays ejected from the water outlet hole 21 to have high stability.

[0053] According to some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 5 is a perspective view of the inner core 30 in some embodiments of the present application, Figure 6 is a bottom view of the inner core 30 in some embodiments of the present application.

[0054] Along the circumferential direction of the functional member 32, the functional member 32 includes a plurality of spaced-apart wall portions 3223. The plurality of wall portions 3223 together enclose to form a flow channel 320, and the gap between two adjacent wall portions 3223 forms a flow channel inlet 322 communicating with the flow channel 320.

[0055] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6, the functional member 32 includes three wall portions 3223, which are circumferentially spaced apart along the circumference of the functional member 32. The three wall portions 3223 together enclose a flow channel 320 and together form three flow channel inlets 322, and the orientations of each of the flow channel inlets 322 are not the same. In some embodiments, the flow channel 320 is regarded as cylindrical, and the extension line of the orientation of each flow channel inlet 322 can be regarded as the tangent to the outer circumferential surface of the cylinder. Exemplarily, when the functional member 32 is inserted into the water outlet hole 21, the water in the chamber can be divided into three water streams and enter the flow channel 320 of the functional member 32 through the three flow channel inlets 322 respectively. After the three water streams converge into one body, they are sprayed out in a mist form through the water outlet hole 21.

[0056] In some other embodiments, the functional member 32 may further include two, four, five or more wall portions 3223.

[0057] In the above solution, through the multiple spaced-apart wall portions 3223, the flow channel 320 is formed and multiple flow channel inlets 322 with different orientations are formed. On the one hand, the waterway structure is simple, and the risk of unstable water droplets caused by uneven pressure loss is reduced. On the other hand, the water in the cavity converges and flows in the form of multiple water streams and is sprayed out in a mist form through the flow channel outlet 321. That is, when the functional member 32 is inserted into the water outlet hole 21, the functional water sprayed out from the water outlet hole 21 is spray water.

[0058] In some other embodiments, the functional member 32 can also provide high-pressure water droplets. Exemplarily, the functional member 32 has a flow channel 320 with a smaller size, so that when the water flows through the flow channel 320 of the functional member 32, it has a higher water pressure.

[0059] According to some embodiments of the present application, the number of the water outlet holes 21 is multiple, and the inner core 30 includes multiple functional members 32, and each functional member 32 corresponds to one water outlet hole 21.

[0060] In some embodiments, the number of the water outlet holes 21 is the same as the number of the functional members 32, and the water outlet holes 21 and the functional members 32 are in one-to-one correspondence. In some other embodiments, the number of the water outlet holes 21 can be greater than the number of the functional members 32, and each functional member 32 has a corresponding one water outlet hole 21.

[0061] Exemplarily, in some embodiments of the present application, the number of the water outlet holes 21 and the number of the functional members 32 are both five, and the five water outlet holes 21 are circumferentially spaced apart around the axis of the water outlet device 100.

[0062] In the above solution, by providing multiple functional members 32 and setting each functional member 32 corresponding to one water outlet hole 21, the water outlet device 100 can provide multiple beams of functional water to the user to meet the needs of the user.

[0063] According to some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , a sliding hole 12 is formed in the body 10. The sliding member 31 includes a sliding rod 310 and a mounting disk 311. The sliding rod 310 is slidably disposed through the sliding hole 12. One end of the sliding rod 310 is connected to the driving portion 40, and the other end of the sliding rod 310 is connected to the mounting disk 311. The mounting disk 311 is located in the cavity, and each functional member 32 is respectively disposed on a side of the mounting disk 311 facing away from the sliding rod 310.

[0064] In some embodiments, the body 10 includes a top wall and a peripheral wall. The peripheral wall is connected to the outer peripheral surface of the water outlet body 20. An inlet hole 11 and a sliding hole 12 are formed in the top wall. The sliding rod 310 is slidably disposed through the sliding hole 12. One end of the sliding rod 310 located outside the chamber is connected to the driving member, and one end of the sliding rod 310 located inside the chamber is connected to the mounting disk 311. A plurality of functional members 32 are disposed on the mounting disk 311. By driving of the driving portion 40, the plurality of functional members 32 can be simultaneously inserted into the corresponding water outlet holes 21.

[0065] In some embodiments, the sliding rod 310, the mounting plate, and the functional member 32 are integrally formed. In other embodiments, the sliding rod 310, the mounting plate, and the functional member 32 may be separate structures from each other, and the connection relationship between adjacent two includes but is not limited to bonding, clamping, riveting, or connection by a threaded member.

[0066] In the above solution, the inner core 30 has a simple structure. By applying a force to the sliding rod 310 through the driving portion 40, all the functional members 32 can be inserted into the corresponding water outlet holes 21, so as to stably eject multiple beams of functional water.

[0067] According to some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , along the first direction z, a flange 120 is formed on a side of the body 10 facing away from the water outlet body 20. The flange 120 surrounds and forms the sliding hole 12. A groove is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the sliding rod 310, and a seal 121 is disposed between the groove and the inner wall of the flange 120.

[0068] In some embodiments, the seal 121 may be a rubber ring.

[0069] In some embodiments, a guiding groove is formed inside the flange 120, and a guiding block 3100 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the sliding rod 310. The guiding block is slidably disposed in the guiding groove along the first direction z. The guiding groove and the guiding block 3100 cooperate with each other to limit the sliding rod 310 from rotating around its axial direction, so as to avoid misalignment between the functional member 32 and the water outlet hole 21.

[0070] In the above solution, by providing a groove on the outer peripheral surface of the sliding rod 310 and arranging a seal 121 in the groove, a seal can be formed between the sliding rod 310 and the flange 120, reducing the risk of water in the cavity leaking between the sliding rod 310 and the flange 120.

[0071] According to some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the mounting disk 311 is formed with a plurality of through holes penetrating along the first direction z.

[0072] In the above solution, by providing a plurality of through holes on the mounting disk 311, on the one hand, the influence of the water pressure resistance in the cavity on the driving part 40 can be reduced, enabling the driving part 40 to effectively drive the inner core 30 to move along the first direction z; on the other hand, the material cost of the inner core 30 can be saved, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the water outlet device 100.

[0073] According to some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the driving part 40 includes a button 41 and an elastic member 42. The button 41 is connected to one end of the sliding rod 310. Along the first direction z, the elastic member 42 is arranged between the button 41 and the body 10.

[0074] In some embodiments, the button 41 can be in the shape of a thin sheet, and the button 41 is fixed to the end of the sliding rod 310 by bolts.

[0075] In some embodiments, the elastic member 42 is a spring. The spring can be sleeved on the sliding rod 310. One end of the spring abuts against the button 41, and the other end abuts against the top wall of the body 10.

[0076] In some embodiments, a positioning groove is formed on the top wall of the body 10, and the end of the spring can be positioned in the positioning groove.

[0077] In the above solution, by providing the button 41 and the elastic member 42, the button 41 can be pressed to push down the sliding rod 310 so that the functional member 32 is inserted into the water outlet hole 21, thereby spraying functional water. At the same time, when the downward pressure on the button 41 is removed, the sliding rod 310 can be reset under the action of the elastic member 42, and the functional member 32 exits the water outlet hole 21, and ordinary water splashes are sprayed from the water outlet hole 21.

[0078] According to some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 , Figure 71 is a side view of the water outlet device 100 in some embodiments of the present application. Along the first direction z, a protrusion 13 is provided on the side of the body 10 away from the water outlet 20, and a slide groove 130 is provided on the side of the protrusion 13. The driving part 40 also includes a row rod 43, one end of the row rod 43 is connected to the button 41, and the other end of the row rod 43 is slidably disposed in the slide groove 130. Among them, along the first direction z, a locking position 131 is formed at one end of the slide groove 130 close to the water outlet 20, and the locking position 131 is used to limit the movement of the row rod 43.

[0079] In some embodiments, the protrusion 13 is a block-shaped structure disposed on the body 10 , and a sliding groove 130 is disposed on a side of the protrusion 13 away from the sliding rod 310 , and the sliding groove 130 allows the row rod 43 to slide.

[0080] The row rod 43 is a rod-shaped mechanism disposed on the button 41, one end of the row rod 43 is fixed to the button 41, and the other end of the row rod 43 is hook-shaped and disposed in the slide groove 130, and can slide along the slide groove 130. When the button 41 is pressed down, the row rod 43 can slide along the slide groove 130.

[0081] Taking the first direction z as the gravity direction, the functional part 32 moves downward to be inserted into the water outlet 21 as an example, the position of the locking position 131 is a relatively lower position of the slide groove 130, and when the row rod 43 moves to the position of the locking position 131, the functional part 32 is inserted into the water outlet 21. The locking position 131 can limit the row rod 43 from continuing to move along the slide groove 130.

[0082] In the above scheme, by setting the protrusion 13 and the row rod 43 and forming a locking position 131 at one end of the slide groove 130, when the functional part 32 is inserted into the water outlet 21, the movement of the inner core 30 can be limited through the mutual cooperation between the locking position 131 and the row rod 43, so that the functional part 32 remains in the current state, allowing the water outlet device 100 to continuously spray functional water.

[0083] According to some embodiments of this application, see Figure 8 , Figure 8 for Figure 7 The slide groove 130 is an annular structure, and along the first direction z, one end of the slide groove 130 close to the water outlet 20 is recessed inward to form a locking position 131.

[0084] In some embodiments, the slide groove 130 can be in an inverted heart shape, the tip of the slide groove 130 can be set upward, and the recessed end of the slide groove 130 can be set downward. The recessed end of the slide groove 130 forms a locking position 131. When the row rod 43 is at the recessed end, it can maintain the current position due to restrictions on both sides.

[0085] In the above solution, the locking position 131 is formed in a simple manner and is easy to manufacture. By pressing the button 41, the row bar 43 can be positioned at the locking position 131 or separated from the locking position 131, so that the relative position relationship between the inner core 30 and the water outlet hole 21 can be changed, and the efficiency of functional water switching can be improved.

[0086] Some embodiments of the present application further provide a shower head, which includes the water outlet device 100 provided in the first aspect.

[0087] Please refer to Figures 1-8 , some embodiments of the present application provide a water outlet device 100.

[0088] The water outlet device 100 includes a main body 10, a water outlet body 20, an inner core 30 and a driving part 40. The inner core 30 includes a sliding rod 310, a mounting disc 311 and a functional part 32. The driving part 40 includes a button 41, an elastic part 42 and a row bar 43.

[0089] The main body 10 is a shell, which includes a top wall and a peripheral wall surrounding the edge of the top wall. The peripheral wall of the main body 10 is connected to the peripheral wall of the water outlet body 20, and the two jointly enclose a chamber. The top wall of the main body 10 is provided with a water inlet hole 11 and a sliding hole 12, and water enters the chamber through the water inlet hole 11. Five water outlet holes 21 are formed on the side of the water outlet body 20 facing away from the top wall.

[0090] The sliding rod 310 is slidably disposed through the sliding hole 12, and a sealing member 121 is disposed between the sliding rod 310 and the inside of the sliding hole 12 to form a seal. The end of the sliding rod 310 located outside the chamber is connected to the button 41, the end of the sliding rod 310 located inside the chamber is connected to the mounting disc 311, and five functional parts 32 are disposed on the side of the mounting disc 311 facing away from the sliding rod 310. The functional parts 32 correspond to the water outlet holes 21 one by one. Along the circumferential direction of the functional part 32, the functional part 32 includes three spaced-apart wall parts 3223, and a flow channel 320 is jointly formed by enclosing the three wall parts 3223. The gap between two adjacent wall parts 3223 forms a flow channel inlet 322 communicating with the flow channel 320, and the flow channel outlet 321 faces the water outlet body 20.

[0091] A convex block 13 is provided at the top of the main body 10. The side surface of the convex block 13 forms an inverted heart-shaped sliding groove 130. The tip of the sliding groove 130 can face upward, and the concave end of the sliding groove 130 can face downward. The concave end of the sliding groove 130 forms a locking position 131, and both the left and right sides adjacent to the concave end are located below the concave end.

[0092] The button 41 is connected to the end of the sliding rod 310 through a bolt. The elastic part 42 is sleeved on the sliding rod 310. One end of the elastic part 42 abuts against the button 41, and the other end abuts against the top wall of the main body 10. One end of the row bar 43 is fixed to the button 41, and the other end is hook-shaped and is slidably disposed in the sliding groove 130.

[0093] When using the water outlet device 100, when the inner core 30 is in the initial state, the functional part 32 is not inserted into the water outlet hole 21, water enters the chamber through the water inlet hole 11 and is directly ejected from the water outlet hole 21. At this time, the ejected water spray is ordinary water spray.

[0094] By pressing the button 41, the inner core 30 moves downward so that the functional part 32 is inserted into the water outlet hole 21. At the same time, the row bar 43 moves along the chute 130 to the lowest end on the left side of the chute 130. Release the button 41, and the row bar 43 is reset to the recess under the action of the elastic part 42 and is locked by the recess so that the inner core 30 maintains its current position. Water enters the chamber through the water inlet hole 11 and flows into the flow channel 320 of the functional part 32 through three flow channel inlets 322. Finally, the water flow is ejected from the water outlet hole 21. At this time, the ejected water spray is spray water. By pressing the button 41 again, the end of the row bar 43 moves along the chute 130 to the lowest point position on the right side. Release the button 41, and the inner core 30 returns to its original position under the resilience of the elastic part 42, and the inner core 30 returns to the initial state.
