[0002] Existing water outlet devices, such as shower heads, usually have multiple functions for water outlet. In order to switch between these different water outlet modes, corresponding switching structures are required. The switching structure enables users to conveniently switch between various water outlet modes, thereby improving the comfort of use.

[0003] Currently, for the switching structures of water outlet functions, whether they are button-pressing type, push-button pushing type, or knob-rotating type, they all have the disadvantage of complex structures. Especially in the pushing-type switching structure, generally, multiple transmission fits are formed between operation and switching, making the driving difficult, the trigger feedback not timely, and thus leading to many problems such as inconvenient operation. Therefore, for the existing switching structures, the transmission structures are complex, which is very unfavorable for overall assembly and maintenance and difficult to meet the production and manufacturing requirements. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide a pushing switching structure and a water outlet device to solve the above problems.

[0007] As a further improvement, the sliding member linearly moves to transmit power to the transmission mechanism, and the transmission mechanism non-linearly moves relative to the sliding member 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.

[0009] As a further improvement, the transmission mechanism includes a rotating gear meshing with the rack portion, a connecting shaft eccentrically arranged on the rotating gear, and a transmission arm pivotally connected between the connecting shaft and the rotating member.

[0024] Embodiment

[0025] Combined with Figures 1 to 3 , this embodiment provides a pushing and switching structure, including a switching mechanism and an operating mechanism. The switching mechanism includes a rotating member 1, and the rotating member 1 is used to drive the external water distribution member 10 to move to switch the water path. The operating mechanism includes a push button 2, a sliding member 3 connected to the push button 2, and a transmission mechanism 4 connected to the rotating member 1. The sliding member 3 is in transmission connection with the transmission mechanism 4, and the push button 2 drives the sliding member 3 to move to act on the transmission mechanism 4, correspondingly triggering the rotation of the rotating member 1 to realize the water path switching.

[0026] In the above-mentioned pushing and switching structure, the sliding member 3 and the rotating member 1 are tightly connected and cooperated through the transmission mechanism 4. Correspondingly, after the push button 2 drives the sliding member 3 to move, the power can be directly and quickly transmitted from the transmission mechanism 4 to the rotating member 1 to trigger the water path switching. Thus, the user can switch the water outlet mode only by simply pushing the push button 2, and the overall structure is more compact and space-saving. In particular, the cooperation between the sliding member 3 and the transmission mechanism 4 directly affects the water path switching, with a rapid response and greatly improved user experience.

[0027] In this embodiment, the sliding member 3 linearly moves to transmit power to the transmission mechanism 4, and the transmission mechanism 4 moves non-linearly relative to the sliding member 3 to transmit power to the rotating member 1. For specific details, please refer to the relevant description of the non-linear yaw of the transmission arm 8 of the transmission mechanism 4 below.

[0028] In this embodiment, the transmission mechanism 4 is configured in the form of cam drive to correspondingly trigger the transmission to the rotating member 1. 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 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.

[0029] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, in this embodiment, the sliding member 3 is provided with a rack portion 5, and the rack portion 5 meshes with the transmission mechanism 4 for transmission. Specifically, the transmission mechanism 4 includes a rotating tooth 6 meshing with the rack portion 5, a connecting shaft 7 eccentrically arranged on the rotating tooth 6, and a transmission arm 8 pivotally connected between the connecting shaft 7 and the rotating member 1. It should be noted that the sliding member 3 is specifically slidably arranged on the shower handle (the water outlet main body 9 below), and the push button 2 is fixedly connected to the sliding member 3 and arranged on the side facing the user for easy pushing operation.

[0030] The specific transmission work is as follows: When the user pushes the push button 2, the push button 2 drives the sliding member 3 to move along the specified track. The rack portion 5 on the sliding member 3 meshes with the rotating tooth 6. The linear motion of the sliding member 3 drives the rotating tooth 6 to rotate. Since the connecting shaft 7 on the rotating tooth 6 is eccentrically arranged, it generates an eccentric motion as the rotating tooth 6 rotates. Furthermore, the connecting shaft 7 transmits this eccentric motion to the rotating member 1 through the transmission arm 8. The transmission arm 8 converts the motion of the connecting shaft 7 into the rotational motion of the rotating member 1, thereby driving the water distribution member 10 to change its position and finally switching the water path to achieve different water outlet modes.

[0031] Preferably, the sliding member 3 is laterally arranged on one side below the push button 2, and the rack portion 5 can move laterally back and forth to drive the rotating tooth 6 to rotate back and forth. Thus, the sliding member 3 is laterally arranged on one side below the push button 2, making the overall structure more compact and saving space. Further, the meshing transmission efficiency between the rack portion 5 and the rotating tooth 6 is high, and it can effectively convert the lateral reciprocating motion of the push button 2 into a rotational motion.

[0032] In this embodiment, the rotating tooth 6 is axially rotatably arranged outside the rack portion 5. The rotating tooth 6 is provided with a semi-tooth portion cooperating with the rack portion 5, and the connecting shaft 7 is configured as an eccentric shaft and 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.

[0033] It should be noted that the rotating member 1 and the water dividing member 10 are coaxially arranged with each other, and both are controlled by the transmission arm 8 to rotate synchronously, so as to realize the follow-up setting in which the rotating member 1 and the water dividing member 10 are substantially integrated. In addition, the rotating gear 6 and the rotating member 1 are respectively arranged on different axes. The rotating gear 6 and the rotating member 1 at different axis positions respectively realize rotation during the transmission process. The rotating gear 6 serves as the middle connection, and the rotating member 1 serves as the terminal power.

[0034] In this embodiment, the transmission arm 8 and the rotating member 1 are hinged to each other through a hinge shaft and a shaft hole. The transmission arm 8 freely swings non-linearly relative to the sliding member 3 between the rotating gear 6 and the rotating member 1, so that the transmission arm 8 flexibly swings between the rotating gear 6 and the rotating member 1. Correspondingly, the other end of the transmission arm 8 is hinged to the connecting shaft 7 to achieve flexible pivoting at both ends.

[0035] Among them, when the push button 2 is in the initial position, it drives the transmission arm 8 to swing to the first state. At this time, the rotating member 1 is in the first rotating state, corresponding to the water flow of one of the water sprays (such as the water flow of the shower head). When the push button 2 is pushed to the working position, it switches the transmission arm 8 to swing to the second state, and the rotating member 1 is in the second rotating state, corresponding to the water flow of the other water spray (such as the water flow of the granular water).

[0036] Obviously, in other embodiments, the push button 2 also has another working position to achieve the common water flow of the two water sprays.

[0037] Combined with Figure 4 , this embodiment further provides a water outlet device, including a water outlet main body 9, a water dividing member 10, and the above-mentioned push-switching structure. Obviously, the water outlet device is not limited to: shower products such as shower heads, kitchen faucets, and spray guns.

[0038] 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.
