Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water outlet mechanisms, in particular to a water outlet switch structure and a water outlet device. Background Art

[0002] Existing water outlet devices usually have multiple water outlet functions. In order to adjust the water outlet between these different water outlet modes, a corresponding switching structure is required. The switching structure allows users to more conveniently adjust the water outlet or switch the water outlet, thereby improving the user's comfort experience.

[0003] The switching structures on the market mainly include button pressing type, push button pushing type and knob rotating type. However, these switching structures generally have the disadvantages of complex structure and inconvenient driving. Especially in the push button pushing type switching structure, necessary transmission coordination is required during the operation and switching process, which makes driving difficult, and the trigger feedback is not timely, resulting in inconvenient operation and other problems.

[0004] Therefore, for the existing driving and switching structure, the complexity of the overall structural parts is not only not conducive to overall assembly and maintenance, but also difficult to meet the requirements of production and manufacturing. In view of this, it is very necessary to improve the driving and switching structure of the existing water outlet device. Utility Model Content

The relative linear sliding of the pusher can drive the rack portion to always mesh and transmit power with the tooth portion.

[0010] As a further improvement, an installation groove is formed at one end of the pusher away from the rack portion. The end of the slider is integrally formed with a bent portion and is movably buckled in the installation groove. When the slider linearly slides towards the rotating member, the buckling depth of the bent portion in the installation groove gradually increases.

[0011] As a further improvement, the water outlet part is at least provided with a first water outlet and a second water outlet. The rotating member is used to trigger a water distribution member to selectively switch the input water to any one of the water outlets or simultaneously introduce it into both water outlets.

[0012] As a further improvement, the slider linearly moves to transmit power to the transmission mechanism, and the transmission mechanism non-linearly moves relative to the slider to transmit power to the rotating member; the transmission mechanism is configured in the form of cam transmission to correspondingly trigger the transmission to the rotating member.

[0038] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the utility model provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the utility model for which protection is claimed, but merely represents selected embodiments of the utility model.

[0039] Example

[0040] Combination Figures 1 to 13 This embodiment provides a water outlet switching structure, including a mounting portion, a water outlet portion, an operating mechanism, a switching mechanism and a transmission mechanism. The operating mechanism includes an operating member 2 and a sliding member 3, the switching mechanism includes a rotating member 1, and the water outlet portion is provided with a water diverter 8 that is linked and matched with the rotating member 1. The operating member 2 is used to drive the sliding member 3 to slide freely relative to the mounting portion, and the sliding member 3 is connected to the rotating member 1 through a transmission mechanism, which triggers the rotating member 1 to rotate and then drives the water diverter 8 to move, thereby controlling the water inlet and outlet conditions of the water outlet portion.

[0041] The water outlet switching structure mentioned above is tightly connected and cooperated between the sliding part 3 and the rotating part 1 through a transmission mechanism, so that after the push button drives the sliding part 3 to move, the power can be directly and quickly transmitted to the rotating part 1 by the transmission mechanism to control the water inlet and outlet conditions. Therefore, the user only needs to simply operate the operating part 2 to adjust the water outlet or switch the water outlet. The overall structure is more compact and saves space. In particular, the cooperation between the sliding part 3 and the transmission mechanism directly affects the water outlet of the water channel, and the response is rapid, which greatly improves the user experience.

[0042] See also Figures 1 to 8 As shown, in one embodiment, the water outlet switching structure is used for switching water outlets with multiple water outlets. The water outlet portion is provided with at least a first water outlet 16 and a second water outlet 17, and the rotating member 1 is used to trigger the water distribution member 8 to selectively switch the input water to any water outlet, or to simultaneously pass the input water into two water outlets.

[0043] In this embodiment, the sliding member 3 moves linearly to transmit power to the transmission mechanism, and the transmission mechanism moves nonlinearly relative to the sliding member 3 to transmit power to the rotating member 1. For details, please refer to the following description of the nonlinear deflection of the transmission arm 7 of the transmission mechanism.

[0044] Specifically, the transmission mechanism is configured to trigger the transmission to the rotating member 1 in the form of cam drive. Among them, cam drive can achieve smooth motion conversion. By adopting the cam drive method, the linear motion of the sliding member 3 is converted into the rotational motion of the rotating member 1 to achieve the free switching of the water path. The structural design of the cam drive is not only convenient to operate but also compact in structure, improving the reliability and use comfort of the entire push-switching structure.

[0045] In this embodiment, the sliding member 3 is provided with a rack portion 4, and the rack portion 4 meshes with the transmission mechanism for transmission. Specifically, the transmission mechanism includes a rotating gear 5 meshing with the rack portion 4, a connecting shaft 6 eccentrically arranged on the rotating gear 5, and a transmission arm 7 pivotally connected between the connecting shaft 6 and the rotating member 1. It should be noted that the operating member 2 is configured as a push button mounted on the sliding member 3. The sliding member 3 is specifically slidably arranged on the shower handle 23, and the push button is fixedly connected to the sliding member 3 and arranged on the side facing the user for easy pushing operation.

[0046] The specific transmission work is as follows: when the user pushes the push button, the push button drives the sliding member 3 to move along the specified track. The rack portion 4 on the sliding member 3 meshes with the rotating gear 5. The linear motion of the sliding member 3 drives the rotating gear 5 to rotate. Since the connecting shaft 6 on the rotating gear 5 is eccentrically arranged, it generates an eccentric motion as the rotating gear 5 rotates. Furthermore, the connecting shaft 6 transmits this eccentric motion to the rotating member 1 through the transmission arm 7. The transmission arm 7 converts the motion of the connecting shaft 6 into the rotational motion of the rotating member 1, thereby driving the water distribution member 8 to change its position and finally switching the water path to achieve different water outlet modes.

[0047] Preferably, the sliding member 3 is laterally arranged on one side below the push button, and the rack portion 4 can move laterally back and forth to drive the rotating gear 5 to rotate back and forth. Thus, the sliding member 3 is laterally arranged on one side below the push button, making the overall structure more compact and saving space. Further, the meshing transmission efficiency between the rack portion 4 and the rotating gear 5 is high, and the lateral reciprocating motion of the push button can be effectively converted into a rotational motion.

[0048] In this embodiment, the rotating gear 5 is axially rotatably arranged outside the rack portion 4. The rotating gear 5 is provided with a semi-tooth portion cooperating with the rack portion 4, and the connecting shaft 6 is configured as an eccentric shaft and is correspondingly arranged on the end face of the gear body on the opposite side of the semi-tooth portion. On the one hand, the semi-tooth portion can provide more delicate control, thereby improving the positioning accuracy. On the other hand, the setting of the eccentric shaft makes the motion smoother, reducing vibration and interference during the transmission process.

[0049] It should be noted that the rotating member 1 and the water distribution member 8 are coaxially arranged with each other, and both are controlled by the transmission arm 7 to rotate synchronously, thereby realizing a follow-up setting in which the rotating member 1 and the water distribution member 8 are substantially integrated. In addition, the rotating gear 5 and the rotating member 1 are respectively arranged on different axes. The rotating gear 5 and the rotating member 1 at different axis positions respectively realize rotation during the transmission process. The rotating gear 5 serves as a mid-end connection, while the rotating member 1 serves as the terminal power.

[0050] In this embodiment, the transmission arm 7 and the rotating member 1 are hinged to each other through a hinge shaft and a shaft hole. The transmission arm 7 freely swings non-linearly relative to the sliding member 3 between the rotating gear 5 and the rotating member 1, so that the transmission arm 7 flexibly swings between the rotating gear 5 and the rotating member 1. Correspondingly, the other end of the transmission arm 7 is hinged to the connecting shaft 6 to achieve flexible pivoting at both ends.

[0051] Among them, when the push button is in the initial position, it drives the transmission arm 7 to swing to the first state. At this time, the rotating member 1 is in the first rotating state, corresponding to the water spray of one of the water flowers (such as the water spray of the flower sprinkler). When the push button is pushed to the working position, it switches the transmission arm 7 to swing to the second state, and the rotating member 1 is in the second rotating state, corresponding to the water spray of the other water flower (such as the granular water spray). Obviously, in other embodiments, the push button also has another working position for the common water spray of the two water flowers.

[0052] Based on this embodiment, as Figures 5 to 8 shown, further, a descaling function is also provided. Specifically, the installation part includes a water inlet 10 and a cavity. A descaling plate 9 is provided in the cavity. The descaling plate 9 is provided with descaling needles 11 corresponding to at least one water outlet. And, the descaling needles 11 of the descaling plate 9 are inserted into or away from the water outlet by operating the operating member 2.

[0053] Among them, the descaling plate 9 is arranged in the cavity and can move relative to the water outlet part. The descaling plate 9 is provided with a connecting member 12, and a guiding member 13 for hanging and guiding the connecting member 12 is correspondingly provided in the cavity. After the relative movement of the guiding member 13 and the connecting member 12, the relative position of the descaling plate 9 and the water outlet part is controlled. Among them, a connecting member 12 is provided on the back of the descaling plate 9, a guiding member 13 is correspondingly provided in the cavity, and the connecting member 12 can move relative to the guiding member 13 to control the relative position of the descaling plate 9 on the water outlet part, quickly realizing the descaling operation and avoiding water outlet. Through the hanging and guiding of the guiding member 13 on the connecting member 12, the descaling plate 9 is directly driven to move up and down without additionally adding a reset structure, greatly simplifying the effective driving of the descaling plate 9, and the hanging and guiding method makes the driving conduction more efficient and stable.

[0054] Furthermore, the guiding member 13 is disposed on the rotating member 1, and the operating member 2 is in transmission connection with the rotating member 1 for controlling the position state of the rotating member 1 and its guiding member 13. Specifically, the operating member 2 is the push button mentioned above, and the push button is linked with the rotating member 1 through a cam transmission mechanism. When the push button is in the initial position, the rotating member 1 is in the first rotating state. When the push button is pushed to the working position, the rotating member 1 is in the second rotating state. Thus, the transmission mechanism is configured in the form of cam transmission to correspondingly trigger the transmission to the rotating member 1. And cam transmission can achieve smooth motion conversion.

[0055] Among them, the connecting member 12 is configured as a convex column integrally formed on the back surface of the descaling plate 9, and the guiding member 13 is configured as a engaging portion provided on the rotating member 1 and extending obliquely to form a guide rail 14. The convex column is provided with a bayonet 15 that is snap-fitted with the guide rail 14 of the engaging portion. Preferably, the bayonet 15 is formed with an outwardly expanding notch on one side to facilitate quick sliding and snap-fitting on the guide rail 14. By hanging the bayonet 15 of the convex column on the guide rail 14 of the engaging portion, the bayonet 15 is slidably arranged on the guide rail 14, so that the convex column can move horizontally and obliquely correspondingly to drive the descaling plate 9 to move up and down.

[0056] Among them, the engaging portions are correspondingly formed on the left and right side edges of the rotating member 1, and at least two convex columns are provided opposite to the descaling plate 9, and the engaging portions are in one-to-one correspondence with the convex columns. Among them, the two convex columns are correspondingly arranged on the peripheral edge of the back surface of the descaling plate 9 to achieve a more stable hanging connection and can efficiently drive and guide the descaling plate 9.

[0057] Among them, the guide rail 14 has a plurality of hanging heights for limiting the convex column at different specified positions, and is suitable for guiding the descaling needle 11 of the descaling plate 9 to insert into or away from the water outlet. Preferably, the guiding member 13 has a low height for limiting the connecting member 12 at the first position (at this time, the rotating member 1 is in the first rotating state mentioned above), a middle height for limiting the connecting member 12 at the second position, and a high height for limiting the connecting member 12 at the third position (at this time, the rotating member 1 is in the second rotating state mentioned above). The water outlet part is at least provided with a first water outlet 16 and a second water outlet 17, and when in the low height, the descaling needle 11 inserts into the first water outlet 16. It should be mentioned that the above three heights are directly formed on the guiding member 13, and each height corresponds to a relative position state of the connecting member 12 and its descaling plate 9. At the low height, at this time, the descaling plate 9 is at the lower limit position to abut against the water outlet part so that the descaling needle 11 inserts into the first water outlet 16. At the middle height, at this time, the descaling plate 9 moves relatively upward to the middle position (between the water outlet part and the water distribution member 8). At the high height, at this time, the descaling plate 9 is at the upper limit position (abutting against the water distribution member 8 below) to be away from the water outlet part.

[0058] Obviously, an internal waterway is provided in the installation part, and a water distribution cavity communicated with the water inlet 10. The water distribution member 8 is used to switch the water outlet of the water distribution cavity. Among them, the rotating member 1 and the water distribution member 8 are coaxially arranged, and both are controlled by the transmission arm 7 to rotate synchronously. Specifically, the water distribution cavity is correspondingly provided with a first water outlet hole 18 communicated with the first water outlet 16 and a second water outlet hole 19 communicated with the second water outlet 17. After the water distribution member 8 rotates and switches, it correspondingly selects to discharge water from the first water outlet hole 18, or the second water outlet hole 19, or both the first water outlet hole 18 and the second water outlet hole 19 discharge water simultaneously.

[0059] It can be understood that the water distribution member 8 correspondingly blocks the first water outlet hole 18 or the second water outlet hole 19 by rotation, so as to switch the water path in the water distribution cavity. And when the water distribution member 8 discharges water from both the first water outlet hole 18 and the second water outlet hole 19 simultaneously, the water flow entering the first water outlet hole 18 remains in a non-discharging state when blocked behind the first water inlet 10 when the descaling needle 11 is at the lower limit position, or remains in a discharging state when the first water outlet 16 is exposed when the descaling needle 11 is at the middle position. When the descaling needle 11 is at the upper limit position, at this time the water distribution member 8 selects the second water outlet hole 19 to discharge water, and the first water outlet hole 18 does not discharge water.

[0060] Please refer to FIGS. 9 to Figure 13 As shown, in another embodiment, the switching water outlet structure is used to adjust the water outlet with different water flowers from the same nozzle. Specifically, the water outlet part is at least provided with one water outlet. The water inlet condition of the water outlet part includes at least one of whether to inlet water and the water inlet flow rate. The water outlet condition of the water outlet part includes making different water flowers come out of the water outlet. Thus, through external water inlet to the water outlet part, the water distribution member 8 correspondingly controls the water inlet of the water outlet part. The water distribution member 8 can control the water outlet from two dimensions of the size of the water inlet flow rate and whether to conduct water inlet. And driven by the rotating member 1, the water distribution member 8 can adjust the water inlet flow rate, for example, the opening degree of the water inlet to correspondingly adjust the output flow rate of the water outlet, so as to form different water flowers for users to use.

[0061] In the above, the switching water outlet structure is applied to the scenario of the same nozzle discharging different water sprays. By providing a transmission mechanism between the operating mechanism and the switching mechanism, and configuring the transmission mechanism to perform power transmission in the form of linear transmission, the transmission structure of the sliding member 3, the transmission structure of the transmission mechanism, and the switching structure of the rotating member 1 are designed to be more efficient and concise, more intuitive in operation, and easier to operate for the manipulation and switching of the water dividing member 8, so as to improve the user experience. Moreover, each structural member is stable and reliable, reducing product failures caused by low transmission efficiency and increasing the service life of the mechanism. Since the angle can be adjusted steplessly to control the water inlet and outlet states of the water outlet part and achieve various different water spray forms, such as spraying, jetting, showering, etc., to meet the user's requirements for different water flow forms, the practicability and flexibility are particularly remarkable.

[0062] In this embodiment, the transmission mechanism is configured as a pushing member 29 connected between the sliding member 3 and the rotating member 1. A rack 30 is provided on the pushing member 29, and a tooth portion 20 meshing with the rack 30 is correspondingly provided on the rotating member 1. The relative sliding of the pushing member 29 can drive the rack 30 to always mesh and transmit with the tooth portion 20. In this way, the meshing transmission between the pushing member 29 and the rotating member 1 is realized, thereby controlling the water inlet and outlet states of the water outlet part.

[0063] The pushing member 29 is a key component in the whole system. A section of rack 30 is provided thereon. This section of rack 30 can be a groove, or a combination of a series of grooves or protrusions. The pushing member 29 can slide relative to the installation part, and the shape and size of its rack 30 determine the transmission characteristics. Correspondingly, the rotating member 1 is another component meshing and transmitting with the pushing member 29. A tooth portion 20 meshing with the rack 30 of the pushing member 29 is provided thereon, and the shape and position of the tooth portion 20 should correspond to the rack 30 of the pushing member 29 to ensure smooth and stable transmission.

[0064] Among them, when the pushing member 29 slides linearly, its rack 30 always meshes and transmits with the tooth portion 20 on the rotating member 1. The meshing transmission can control the motion state of the rotating member 1 through the sliding of the pushing member 29, and further adjust the water inlet and outlet states. Thus, through the meshing transmission between the pushing member 29 and the rotating member 1, the control of the motion states of the rotating member 1 and the water dividing member 8 can be realized. The sliding of the pushing member 29 can change the position of the meshing point, thereby adjusting the rotation angle of the rotating member 1, and further driving the water dividing member 8 to achieve stepless angle adjustment, so as to control the water spray form and intensity of the water outlet part. It is simple and reliable. Through the meshing transmission of the rack and the tooth portion 20, the motion synchronization between the pushing member 29 and the rotating member 1 is realized, the rotation angle can be accurately controlled, and the stability and reliability of the transmission system are improved.

[0065] In this embodiment, the operating member 2 is configured as a push button fixedly arranged on the sliding member 3, and the sliding member 3 is detachably snap-connected to the pushing member 29. On the one hand, as an operating element for pushing and triggering, the push button is fixedly arranged on the sliding member 3, and the user can directly operate the sliding member 3 by pushing the push button, so as to realize the sliding control of the pushing member 29. On the other hand, the sliding member 3 and the pushing member 29 are connected by a detachable snap connection method, which makes it more convenient when maintenance or component replacement is required. The sliding member 3 and the pushing member 29 can be quickly disassembled or installed, reducing the time and cost of maintenance and replacement. Thus, as the operating member 2, the push button is simple and intuitive to operate, and the user can easily master the operation method, improving the convenience of use and the user experience. And the snap connection method connecting the sliding member 3 and the pushing member 29 can ensure firm connection, not easy to loosen or fall off, improving the stability and reliability of the system. It not only ensures the convenience and reliability of operation, but also improves the convenience of maintaining and replacing components.

[0066] Specifically, an installation groove 21 is formed at one end of the pushing member 29 away from the rack 30. An end part of the sliding member 3 is integrally formed with a bending part 22 which is movably snap-connected in the installation groove 21. When the sliding member 3 linearly slides towards the rotating member 1, the snap connection depth of the bending part 22 in the installation groove 21 gradually increases. Obviously, the function of the installation groove 21 is to connect the sliding member 3 and ensure the stability and reliability of the sliding connection. In addition, an end part of the sliding member 3 is integrally formed with a bending part 22, and the bending part 22 is snap-connected with the installation groove 21 of the pushing member 29, making the connection between the sliding member 3 and the pushing member 29 closer. When the sliding member 3 linearly slides towards the rotating member 1, the snap connection depth of the bending part 22 in the installation groove 21 gradually increases, making the connection more firm and avoiding the loosening or falling off of the connection caused by vibration or external force.

[0067] In this embodiment, the installation part includes a handle 23 and a water outlet cover 24. The water outlet part and its water outlet are formed on the water outlet cover 24. The handle 23 is provided with a track 25 adapted to the sliding member 3, and the handle 23 is provided with a sliding groove 26 adapted to the pushing member 29. It can be understood that the handle 23 is a component for the user to operate and switch the water outlet structure, usually a handle that is convenient to hold. A track 25 adapted to the sliding member 3 is provided on the handle 23, which can adapt to the up and down sliding of the sliding member 3 on the handle 23, and the user can easily control the water inlet and outlet state of the switched water outlet structure through the handle 23.

[0068] Among them, the water outlet cover 24 is a part of the water outlet switching structure, which is used to wrap the water outlet part and control the water outlet. The interior of the water outlet cover 24 forms the water outlet part, which can be designed to output different water outlet forms and water flow intensities after being connected to the water outlet according to needs. Moreover, the track 25 on the handle 23 is adapted to the sliding member 3, enabling the sliding member 3 to slide smoothly up and down on the handle 23, ensuring the stability and smoothness of the operation. At the same time, the chute 26 on the handle 23 is adapted to the pushing member 29, and the user can control the guiding movement of the pushing member 29 through the chute 26, thereby achieving a more stable, accurate and convenient operation.

[0069] Furthermore, the track 25 extends horizontally along the sliding direction, and the sliding member 3 is a strip-shaped slider seat installed on the track 25. This is to achieve the stable sliding of the sliding member 3 on the track 25, ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of the operation. The track 25 extending horizontally along the sliding direction can provide a stable sliding track, enabling the sliding member 3 to remain stable during the operation and not easily break away or deviate. The sliding direction of the sliding member 3 on the track 25 is usually horizontal to the track 25, that is, it slides along the horizontal direction of the track 25, making the sliding operation more convenient and intuitive.

[0070] Among them, the chute 26 is opened at the front section of the handle 23 along the sliding direction, one end of the pushing member 29 is configured to slide guidingly in the chute 26, the other end of the pushing member 29 is integrally connected with the rack 30, and the rack 30 extends along the sliding direction. In this embodiment, the chute 26 is a groove structure opened at the front section of the handle 23 along the sliding direction of the handle 23. One end of the pushing member 29 is configured to slide guidingly in the chute 26 to ensure the smooth sliding of the pushing member 29 on the handle 23 and limit its movement direction. As a key component connecting the handle 23 and the water outlet switching structure, one end of the pushing member 29 is configured to slide guidingly in the chute 26, and the other end is integrally connected with the rack 30. The rack 30 extends along the sliding direction to achieve the movement control and transmission function of the pushing member 29.

[0071] Preferably, the rotating member 1 is an arc-shaped tooth piece, the water dividing member 8 has a hinge shaft (not shown in the figure), and the water dividing member 8 and the arc-shaped tooth piece are coaxially fixed corresponding to the hinge shaft. The arc-shaped tooth piece and the rack 30 can be tightly engaged to achieve the transmission of motion. And the hinge shaft of the water dividing member 8 is coaxially fixed with the arc-shaped tooth piece, and the two rotate synchronously around the same axis. When the rotating member 1 is controlled to rotate, the hinge shaft will also move accordingly, thereby adjusting the relative position between the water dividing member 8 and the water dividing body.

[0072] It should be noted that the rotation of the hinge shaft causes the water dividing member 8 to rotate relative to the water dividing body, thereby switching different water inlet and outlet channels and correspondingly switching the water outlet states of the sprinkler water and the spray water. Regarding the water dividing member 8, the hinge shaft, the water dividing body, and the internal water path switching, this is the prior art, so it will not be elaborated here.

[0073] In this embodiment, the pushing member 29 drives the rack 30 to freely switch between the first limit position and the second limit position, so that the arc-shaped tooth piece adjusts the angle of the hinge shaft under the drive of the tooth part 20 to control the gradual change of the water outlet form among atomized water, lantern water, granular water, and sprinkler water. Specifically, when the operating member 2 is pushed from bottom to top, the sliding member 3 is driven to the pushing member 29 to switch its rack 30 to the first limit position. When the operating member 2 is pushed from top to bottom, the rack 30 is switched back to the second limit position. The rack 30 moves between the first limit position and the second limit position, and is transmitted to the arc-shaped gear to drive the hinge shaft to rotate, correspondingly controlling the switching of the water outlet state, and finally different water sprays can be output.

[0074] Among them, as Figure 10 shown, the installation part is correspondingly provided with a first limiting member 27 for restricting the upward movement of the pushing member 29 beyond the first limit position, and the water dividing member 8 is correspondingly provided with a second limiting member 28 for restricting the downward movement of the pushing member 29 beyond the second limit position. Thus, during the movement of the pushing member 29, the movement range of the pushing member 29 is restricted by the two limiting members to prevent exceeding the set limit position and protect the normal operation of the water outlet switching structure.

[0075] In addition, this embodiment also provides a water outlet device including the above-mentioned water outlet switching structure. Obviously, the water outlet device is not limited to shower products such as sprinklers, kitchen faucets, and spray guns.

[0076] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions within the idea of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
