Detailed implementation manners

[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer and more understandable, the embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined arbitrarily with each other.

[0035] An embodiment of the present application provides a water outlet device, as Figures 1 - 8 shown, which includes: a water outlet main body 1, on which an installation hole 13 is provided, and the installation hole 13 is configured to detachably install a functional module 3 with a predetermined function; wherein, a plurality of connection terminals 131 for connecting with the mating contact points 31 on the functional module 3 are provided on the hole wall of the installation hole 13, and the connection terminals 131 are configured to supply power and / or transmit signals to the functional module 3. Among them, the water outlet device may be a shower head or a faucet, etc., Figures 1 - 8 The water outlet device shown is a shower head.

[0036] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown in the example, four connection terminals 131 are provided on the hole wall of the installation hole 13. When installing the functional module 3 as shown in Figure 11 in the installation hole 13, the four connection terminals 131 can respectively contact the four mating contact points 31 provided on the functional module 3. It can be understood that the number of connection terminals 131 is not limited, and the number of connection terminals 131 can be set according to the power supply requirements or signal transmission requirements. Various different functional modules 3 can be matched in the installation hole 13. When the number of mating contact points 31 on the matched functional module 3 is less than the number of connection terminals 131, the mating contact points 31 on the functional module 3 only need to contact the corresponding connection terminals 131. For example, if the functional module 3 only needs to be powered on, only two contacts on the functional module 3 contact two of the connection terminals 131 correspondingly, or if the functional module 3 needs to receive signals, the functional module 3 only connects to the connection terminals 131 for signal transmission.

[0037] The technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present application enables the functional module 3 to be detachably installed in the mounting hole 13, allowing various different functional modules to be paired with the water outlet device as needed. For example, the functional module 3 can be a digital display module, a lighting module, an audio module, or a massage module. When installing a functional module on the water outlet device, for example, installing a digital display module on a shower head, information such as the water outlet temperature, shower time, and water outlet flow rate can be displayed through the digital display module; when installing a lighting module on a shower head, the shower head can emit light during a shower; when installing an audio module on a shower head, music and other audio can be listened to during a shower; and when installing a massage module (a massage head with a massage function) on a shower head, the shower head can be used for massage. Therefore, installing different functional modules on the water outlet body 1 can meet the different functional requirements of customers for the water outlet device. Among them, the functional module 3 can also be connected to a terminal device such as a mobile phone, and the functional module 3 is controlled by the terminal device such as a mobile phone.

[0038] In one embodiment, the water outlet device further includes a power supply module installed on the water outlet body 1, and the connection terminal 131 includes a power-on terminal connected to the power supply module. When the functional module 3 is installed on the water outlet body 1, it can be powered through the power-on terminal in the mounting hole 13. Of course, some functional modules 3 with built-in batteries or charging functions can also be installed in the mounting hole 13 (i.e., they do not require power supply from the power-on terminal on the water outlet device).

[0039] In one example, the power supply module is a hydraulic generator 22. During the process of water flowing towards the water outlet device, the hydraulic generator 22 generates electricity through hydropower, enabling the hydraulic generator 22 to supply power to the functional module 3 installed in the mounting hole 13. Of course, the power supply module can also be a battery installed on the water outlet body 1.

[0040] As Figures 7 - 10 shown, the water outlet device is a shower head, and the water outlet body 1 includes a shower head 11 and a connecting pipe 12 connected to the shower head 11. The mounting hole 13 for installing the functional module 3 is provided on the shower head 11. An inlet module 2 is installed in the connecting pipe 12. The inlet module 2 includes a water inlet pipe 21 for supplying water to the shower head 11. A hydraulic generator 22 is provided in the water inlet pipe 21. During the process of water flowing from the inlet end of the water inlet pipe 21 along the water inlet pipe 21 into the shower head 11, the hydraulic generator 22 generates electricity by means of hydropower. The setting of the hydraulic generator in the water inlet pipe 21 to generate electricity through hydropower is prior art and will not be described in detail here. It can be understood that the mounting hole 13 for installing the functional module 3 is not limited to being provided on the shower head 11, and can also be provided at other positions of the water outlet device, such as on the connecting pipe 12 connected to the shower head. When the water outlet device is a faucet or other types of water outlet devices, the mounting hole 3 can be set at a suitable position according to needs.

[0041] Due to the weak water power of the water outlet device (such as a shower head), the power supply of the water power generator 22 can supply power to function modules with relatively small power, such as a digital display module or a lighting module. Function modules 3 such as an audio module or a massage module can be installed in the water outlet device by means of a built-in battery or charging.

[0042] In an embodiment, the water outlet device further includes a signal detection device disposed on the water outlet main body 1 for obtaining a predetermined signal. The plurality of connection terminals 131 further include a signal terminal connected to the signal detection device. The signal terminal is configured to transmit the information detected by the signal detection device to the function module 3.

[0043] As Figure 10 In the example shown, the signal detection device includes a temperature sensor 23 installed on the water inlet pipe 21 of the water inlet module 2. The temperature information of the water in the water outlet device is obtained through the temperature sensor 23. The temperature sensor 23 is connected to the signal terminal among the connection terminals 131 in the mounting hole 131, so as to be transmitted to a specific function module 3 (such as a digital display module) through the signal terminal, and the temperature information of the water is displayed through the function module 3. In addition, a flow detection device for detecting the water flow or a timer for timing the water outlet time may be provided on the water outlet device. The detected flow information or time information can be transmitted to the function module 3 through the connection terminal 131.

[0044] In an embodiment, the plurality of connection terminals 131 are configured to elastically protrude from the hole wall of the mounting hole 13 and can elastically retract. When the function module 3 is installed in the mounting hole 13, the connection terminal 131 is squeezed by the function module 3 and retracts, so that the function module 3 can be inserted into the mounting hole 13, and the connection terminal 131 is in elastic contact with the contact point 31 of the function module 3 to ensure the reliability of the contact.

[0045] As Figure 4 And Figure 5 As shown in

[0046] In an embodiment, a sealing ring 132 is disposed on the hole wall of the mounting hole 13 around the plurality of connection terminals 131. As Figure 4 And Figure 5 As shown in Figure 9, the sealing ring 132 is squeezed to seal the gap between the functional module 3 and the hole wall of the mounting hole 13, so that the connection terminal 131 can be sealed within the area surrounded by the sealing ring 132, and water will not enter this area, thereby achieving effective waterproofing of multiple connection terminals 131 and avoiding the problem of contact failure caused by corrosion of the connection terminals 131 in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment.

[0047] In one embodiment, the mounting hole 13 is a through hole provided in the water outlet main body 1, and the functional module 3 can be detached from the mounting hole 13 by pressing the rear end face of the functional module 3. Among them, the functional module 3 can be fixed in the mounting hole 13 by an interference fit with the mounting hole 13.

[0048] In one embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, a positioning hole 134 is provided on the hole wall of the mounting hole 13, and an elastic positioning bead 32 is provided on the functional module 3 (refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 ). When the functional module 3 is installed in the mounting hole 13, the positioning bead 32 can elastically snap into the positioning hole 134. In this way, when installing the functional module 3, the cooperation between the positioning bead 32 and the positioning hole 134 can produce a clicking sound and a certain feel, which can serve as a reminder for proper installation. Among them, the setting method of the positioning post 32 can be similar to that of the connection terminal 131. An opening is provided on the functional module 3, and a spring is provided in the opening to apply an elastic force to the positioning post 32.

[0049] When the functional module 3 is installed in the mounting hole 13, in order to enable the contact point 31 to be in corresponding contact with the connection terminal 131 and the positioning bead 32 to be in corresponding contact with the positioning hole 134, a guiding structure for guiding the installation of the functional module 3 is provided on the hole wall of the mounting hole 13. As Figure 2 shown, a guiding groove 135 is provided on the hole wall of the mounting hole 13, Figure 12 shown on the functional module 3 there is a guiding block 33, and the cooperation between the guiding block 33 and the guiding groove 135 plays a guiding role in the installation of the functional module 3. Of course, guiding blocks can also be provided on the hole wall of the mounting hole 13, and guiding grooves can be provided on the functional module.

[0050] In one embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, an annular groove 136 is provided on the hole wall of the mounting hole 13, and a flexible fixing ring 34 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the functional module 3. When the functional module 3 is installed in the mounting hole 13, the fixing ring 34 is in interference fit with the annular groove 136, thereby realizing the fixing of the functional module 3 in the mounting hole 13. It can be understood that a flexible fixing ring 34 can also be provided on the hole wall of the mounting hole 13, and an annular groove 136 can be provided on the outer periphery of the functional module 3.

[0051] An embodiment of the present application further provides a water outlet assembly, including at least one functional module 3 and the water outlet device as described above. Each functional module 3 is arranged to be detachably installed in the installation hole 13 of the water outlet device.

[0052] Wherein, the at least one functional module includes at least one of a digital display module, a sound module, a lighting module, and a massage module.

[0053] In one embodiment, the water outlet device is a shower head.

[0054] In one example, referring to the above description, positioning holes 134 may be provided on the hole wall of the installation hole 13, and elastic positioning beads 32 may be provided on the functional module 5. When the functional module 3 is installed in the installation hole 13, the positioning beads 32 elastically snap into the positioning holes 134. A guiding structure for guiding the installation of the functional module 3 may also be provided between the hole wall of the installation hole 13 and the functional module 3. Additionally, referring to the above description, an annular groove 136 may be provided on one of the hole wall of the installation hole 13 and the outer periphery of the functional module 3, and a flexible fixing ring 34 may be provided on the other. The functional module 3 is fixed in the installation hole 13 through the interference fit between the fixing ring 34 and the annular groove 136.
