[0050] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0051] refer to Figure 1-4 The water outlet device 1000 provided in the embodiment of the present utility model includes a housing 100 , a water outlet assembly 200 and a driving assembly 300 .
[0052] The housing 100 includes an inlet 111, a flow cavity 130, and an outlet 121, which are sequentially connected along the direction of water flow. Specifically, the housing 100 can be configured to be enclosed by a top cover 110 and a bottom cover 120. The top cover 110 includes the inlet 111 for water flow to enter, and the bottom cover 120 includes the outlet 121. The internal space enclosed by the top cover 110 and the bottom cover 120 is the flow cavity 130. The number of outlets 121 is set to be multiple, and the outlets 121 can be arranged in various ways on the bottom cover 120, such as multiple outlets 121 arranged in sequence to form a circle.
[0053] There are also multiple water outlet assemblies 200, the same number as the outlet ports 121. Each water outlet assembly 200 is movably disposed in each outlet port 121. A flow passage 210 is provided in each water outlet assembly 200 for water to flow through. Water in the flow chamber 130 can flow out through the flow passage 210. Each water outlet assembly is provided with a first magnet 230.
[0054] refer to Figure 2-4 The water outlet assembly 200 includes a water spout portion, a pivot 240 is provided on the outer wall of the water spout portion, a water outlet 250 is provided on the side of the flow channel 210 away from the flow chamber 130, and a rotating groove 122 is provided on the outlet 121, in which the pivot 240 is rotatably arranged, so that the water spout portion can swing around the pivot 240 in the outlet 121, thereby causing the water outlet direction of the water outlet 250 to swing as well.
[0055] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first magnet 230 can be installed on the end of the spout away from the water outlet 250, that is, the first magnet 230 and the water outlet 250 are located on both sides of the pivot 240. In this case, the swing direction of the water outlet 250 is opposite to the swing direction of the first magnet 230. Alternatively, it can be installed on the outer wall of the water outlet 250. In this case, the swing direction of the water outlet 250 is the same as the swing direction of the first magnet 230. It is worth noting that in the subsequent embodiments, unless otherwise specified, the first case is used as an example for description, but it should not be understood that the first magnet 230 has only one installation position.
[0056] The driving component 300 is rotatably disposed in the flow chamber 130, and a plurality of second magnets 330 are provided on the driving component 300, which can rotate together with the driving component 300. The plurality of first magnets 230 and the plurality of second magnets 330 are arranged relative to each other. For example, the plurality of second magnets 330 can also be arranged in sequence in a circle, and can be arranged outside the circle surrounded by the first magnets 230, or the circle surrounded by the first magnets 230 can be arranged outside the circle surrounded by the plurality of second magnets 330. This is not limited here. In subsequent embodiments, unless otherwise specified, the above-mentioned second case is taken as an example for explanation.
[0057] The surfaces of at least one first magnet 230 and at least one second magnet 330 facing each other have opposite magnetic properties, and the surfaces of at least one first magnet 230 and at least one second magnet 330 facing each other have the same magnetic properties. When the second magnet 330 rotates with the driving component 300, when the two surfaces with opposite magnetic properties are positioned relative to each other, the first magnet 230 is attracted to and deflected toward the second magnet 330, and the water outlet 250 of the water outlet component 200 deflects in a direction away from the second magnet 330, and the shape of the water outlet is diffused ( Figure 5), when the two surfaces with the same magnetic properties are positioned opposite to each other, the first magnet 230 is repelled and deviates in the direction away from the second magnet 330, while the water outlet 250 of the water outlet assembly 200 deviates in the direction close to the second magnet 330, and the shape of the water outlet is in a contracted state ( Figure 1 ).
[0058] In this embodiment, the first and second magnets 230 and 330 are configured to drive the water outlet assembly 200 to swing, causing the water outlet shape to cyclically change between contraction and expansion, thereby continuously and automatically providing the user with a diverse shower experience. Furthermore, since the magnets are driven by magnetic force, there is no need for additional physical structures such as levers and paddles to drive the water outlet assembly 200, which does not occupy a large amount of space within the water outlet device 1000, facilitating a smaller and more compact showerhead design.
[0059] In addition, in the subsequent embodiments, in order to explain the technical solutions of the embodiments more clearly and briefly, some drawings only show different arrangement diagrams of the first magnet 230 and the second magnet 330 .
[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, the shapes and magnetic pole directions of the magnets can be varied to enable the water outlet device 1000 to achieve more diverse water outlet effects:
[0061] For example, multiple first magnets 230 are arranged in sequence along a circular trajectory at intervals. On any two adjacent first magnets 230, the magnetism of the side opposite to the second magnet 330 is opposite. At this time, no matter what the magnetism of the side of the second magnet 330 close to the first magnet 230 is, as long as the second magnet 330 rotates with the driving component 300, it will always be opposite to the first magnet 230 with the same magnetism and the first magnet 230 with opposite magnetism in turn during the rotation process. At this time, the water outlet component 200 is driven to swing back and forth in turn, so that any two adjacent water outlets 250 always have one close to the second magnet 330 and the other away from the second magnet 330, thereby forming different water outlet shapes.
[0062] For another example, a plurality of second magnets 330 are arranged in sequence along a circular trajectory at intervals. On any two adjacent second magnets 330, the magnetism of the side close to the first magnet 230 is opposite. At this time, no matter what the magnetism of the end of the first magnet 230 close to the second magnet 330 is, as long as the second magnet 330 rotates with the driving component 300, it will always be opposite to the first magnet 230 with the same magnetism and the first magnet 230 with opposite magnetism in turn during the rotation process, and at this time, the water outlet component 200 is driven to swing back and forth in turn, thereby forming different water outlet shapes.
[0063] Also, reference Figure 6The plurality of first magnets 230 are sequentially spaced along a circular trajectory. The magnetism of any two adjacent first magnets 230 on the sides close to the second magnets 330 is opposite. Simultaneously, the plurality of second magnets 330 are sequentially spaced along a circular trajectory. The magnetism of any two adjacent second magnets 330 on the sides close to the first magnets 230 is opposite. During the process of the drive assembly 300 driving the second magnets 330 to rotate, when the magnetism of the sides of each second magnet 330 facing its corresponding first magnet 230 becomes the same, the first magnets 230 are pushed by the repulsive force, causing the water outlet 250 of the water outlet assembly 200 to swing toward the second magnets 330. This means that the water outlet direction of the water outlet assembly 200 contracts toward the rotation axis 1 of the drive assembly 300. When the magnetism of each second magnet 330 and the opposite surface of the first magnet 230 are opposite, the first magnet 230 is attracted by the magnetic force, causing the water outlet 250 of the water outlet component 200 to swing in the direction away from the second magnet 330, that is, the water outlet direction of the water outlet component 200 spreads in the direction away from the rotating axis l of the driving component 300.
[0064] According to the above embodiment, as the driving component 300 rotates, the multiple second magnets 330 also rotate accordingly. Therefore, the magnetism of each second magnet 330 relative to the first magnet 230 also changes all the time. During this change process, the multiple water outlet components 200 continuously swing back and forth, and the water outlet shape switches between the contraction and expansion states accordingly, providing users with a dynamic and diversified water outlet effect and shower experience that does not require a complex driving structure design.
[0065] refer to Figure 7 In some embodiments of the present invention, multiple first magnets 230 are arranged in sequence along a circular trajectory. On any two adjacent first magnets 230, the magnetism of the side close to the second magnet 330 is opposite, and the magnetism of the sides of all second magnets 330 close to the first magnet 230 is the same.
[0066] In this embodiment, during the process of the second magnet 330 rotating with the driving assembly 300, one of any two adjacent first magnets 230 always has the same magnetism as the opposite second magnet 330, and is therefore repelled, causing the water outlet 250 to swing in the direction close to the second magnet 330, and the other is opposite to the opposite second magnet 330, and is then attracted, so that the water outlet 250 swings in the direction away from the second magnet 330, and since the magnetism of all the second magnets 330 close to the first magnet 230 is the same, the direction of the water outlet 250 is fixed after completing one swing, and the two water outlet shapes and their positions will not change. Therefore, the water outlet device 1000 has both a water outlet shape that shrinks and moves closer to the second magnet 330 and a water outlet shape that spreads in the direction away from the second magnet 330, which is more aesthetically pleasing and provides users with a diverse water outlet effect and shower experience.
[0067] Understandably, the reference Figure 8 Alternatively, multiple second magnets 330 may be arranged in sequence along a circular trajectory. On any two adjacent second magnets 330, the magnetism of the side close to the first magnet 230 is opposite, and the magnetism of the sides of all first magnets 230 close to the second magnet 330 is the same.
[0068] In this example, the second magnet 330 rotates with the rotation of the driving assembly 300. During its rotation, one of the two adjacent first magnets 230 always has the same magnetism as the opposite second magnet 330, and is therefore repelled by magnetic force, so that the water outlet 250 swings toward the direction close to the second magnet 330, and the other has opposite magnetism to the second magnet 330, and is therefore attracted by magnetic force, so that the water outlet 250 swings toward the direction away from the second magnet 330, and as the second magnet 330 rotates, the swinging direction of the water outlet 250 continuously cycles back and forth. As a result, the water outlet device 1000 simultaneously has a water outlet shape that shrinks and moves closer to the second magnet 330 and a water outlet shape that spreads toward the direction away from the second magnet 330, and the two water outlet shapes are cyclically converted with each other to achieve diversification of the water outlet shape, which is more beautiful, and the two water outlet types can be continuously switched with the cyclic conversion of the water outlet shape, providing users with a dynamic and diverse water outlet effect and shower experience.
[0069] refer to Figure 9 In some embodiments of the present invention, the driving component 300 includes a thrust member, and the maximum distance between the outer wall surface of the thrust member and the rotation axis l of the driving component 300 is L1. When the first magnet 230 is offset toward the second magnet 330 by the magnetic force, the minimum distance between the outer wall surface of the first magnet 230 and the rotation axis l of the driving component 300 is L2, wherein L1>L2.
[0070] Therefore, when the driving component 300 rotates, the push member also rotates. At this time, the push member will push the first magnet 230 on the water outlet component 200 that is displaced by the magnetic attraction force, causing the pushed first magnet 230 to move in a direction away from the second magnet 330. At this time, the direction of the water outlet 250 of the water outlet component 200 affected by the push member also gradually shrinks, so that in addition to the diffuse water type and the contraction water type, the water outlet device 1000 also has a third water outlet shape between the diffuse water type and the contraction water type, further enriching the water outlet shape of the water outlet device 1000.
[0071] It is understood that when the first magnet 230 is not offset, the minimum distance between the outer wall of the first magnet 230 and the rotation axis l of the drive assembly 300 should be less than or equal to L1. When the minimum distance is equal to L1, the first magnet 230 can be reset to its unoffset position when pushed, that is, the initial position. When the minimum distance is less than L1, when the first magnet 230 is offset toward the second magnet 330 and is pushed, the water outlet shape will gradually reset from the diffuse water type toward the direction of the second magnet 330, and after passing the initial position, gradually change to the contracted water type. In other words, by setting the size and position of the push member and the first magnet 230, the third water type can have different water outlet angles, providing more visual effects of water outlet.
[0072] It is understood that the push member can be a protrusion provided on the drive assembly 300 that can push against the magnet. When the drive assembly 300 rotates, the push member rotates accordingly and can push against the first magnet 230 that encounters it. The push member can also be configured as an annular rib, an annular protrusion, etc., which is not limited here.
[0073] refer to Figure 9 and Figure 11 In some embodiments of the present invention, the push member is a receiving groove 321. The receiving groove 321 is annular and disposed on a side of the drive assembly 300 near the water outlet assembly 200. Each second magnet 330 can be positioned and received in the receiving groove 321. The maximum distance between the outer wall of the receiving groove 321 and the rotation axis 1 of the drive assembly 300 is L1, and the minimum distance is L3, where L1>L2>L3. Therefore, when the driving component 300 rotates, the accommodating groove 321 also rotates accordingly. The point where the outer wall of the accommodating groove 321 is at the largest distance from the rotation axis l will push the first magnet 230 that is offset toward the second magnet 330, causing the pushed first magnet 230 to move in a direction away from the second magnet 330. At this time, the water outlet direction of the water outlet component 200 affected by the pushing member also gradually shrinks, so that in addition to the diffuse water type and the contraction water type, the water outlet device 1000 also has a third water outlet shape between the diffuse water type and the contraction water type, further enriching the water outlet shapes and types of the water outlet device 1000.
[0074] It can be understood that, in this embodiment, when the first magnet 230 is not offset, the minimum distance between the outer wall surface of the first magnet 230 and the rotation axis 1 of the driving assembly 300 is greater than L3.
[0075] It is understood that the push member or the receiving groove 321 can be shaped as a circular ring and eccentrically disposed relative to the rotation axis 1 of the drive assembly 300. Alternatively, it can be shaped as an elliptical ring or other irregular ring shape. In this case, the push member or the receiving groove 321 does not need to be eccentrically disposed, and the distance between different positions of its outer wall and the rotation axis 1 of the drive assembly 300 can also be different, while still achieving the technical effects of the above embodiment.
[0076] In some embodiments of the present invention, multiple second magnets 330 can be connected in sequence to form an annular push member, that is, multiple second magnets 330 together constitute an annular push member, and the minimum distance between the outer wall surface of the push member and the rotation axis l of the driving assembly 300 is L3, where L2>L3.
[0077] refer to Figure 10-13 In this embodiment, the second magnet 330 can be directly fixed to the driving component 300 by bonding or the like, or a groove can be hollowed out on the driving component 300, and the second magnet 330 is directly inserted therein. The annular push member composed of multiple second magnets 330 directly contacts the first magnet 230 and pushes it to swing. There is no need to add an additional push structure to the driving component 300, which is conducive to further simplification of the structural design, saving the internal volume of the water outlet device 1000, and is conducive to the miniaturization and compact design of the water outlet device 1000.
[0078] refer to Figure 10 and Figure 14 In some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of first magnets 230 are sequentially arranged at intervals along a circular trajectory, and the magnetism of the sides thereof close to the second magnet 330 is the same. A plurality of second magnets 330 are sequentially arranged at intervals along a circular trajectory, and the magnetism of the sides thereof close to the first magnet 230 is the same. The magnetism of the opposing sides of all first magnets 230 and all second magnets 330 is opposite. The drive assembly 300 further includes a push member, and the maximum distance between the outer wall of the push member and the rotation axis 1 of the drive assembly 300 is L1. When the first magnet is offset toward the second magnet 330 by the magnetic attraction force, the minimum distance between the outer wall of the first magnet 230 and the rotation axis 1 of the drive assembly 300 is L2, wherein L1>L2.
[0079] In this embodiment, since the opposing surfaces of all first magnets 230 and all second magnets 330 have opposite magnetic properties, during the rotation of the drive assembly 300, the first magnets 230 are constantly displaced by the magnetic attraction of the second magnets 330. Therefore, the water outlet direction of the water outlet 250 always forms a diverging shape. Furthermore, since the maximum distance between the outer wall of the push member and the rotation axis 1 of the drive assembly 300 is greater than the minimum distance between the outer wall of the first magnet 230 and the rotation axis 1 of the drive assembly 300 when displaced by the magnetic attraction, the push member always pushes against the first magnet 230 it encounters, causing it to deflect away from the second magnet 330. At this time, the water outlet direction of the water outlet assembly 200 being pushed gradually contracts, resulting in the water outlet of this portion of the water outlet assembly 200 discharging in a contracted shape. As the drive assembly 300 rotates, the water outlet assembly 200 discharging in a contracted shape continuously changes, forming a dynamically changing water outlet shape.
[0080] It is understood that the shape of the push member can be designed in various ways. For example, the push member can be configured to have only one protrusion, which can only push one first magnet 230. Alternatively, it can be configured to have multiple protrusions, or to have an elliptical or eccentric circular shape, so that it can simultaneously push against the movement of multiple first magnets 230 during rotation, thereby creating different dynamic change effects.
[0081] refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 In some embodiments of the present invention, the push member is a receiving groove 321, which is designed in a circular shape and is arranged on the side of the driving assembly 300 close to the water outlet assembly 200. Each second magnet 330 is positioned and accommodated in the receiving groove 321. The maximum distance between the outer wall surface of the receiving groove 321 and the rotation axis 1 of the driving assembly 300 is L1, and the minimum distance is L3, wherein L1>L2>L3. Therefore, when the push member rotates with the driving assembly 300, it will push the first magnet 230 on the water outlet assembly 200 that is offset by the magnetic attraction force, causing the pushed first magnet 230 to move in a direction away from the second magnet 330. At this time, the water outlet direction of the water outlet assembly 200 affected by the push member will also gradually shrink.
[0082] It can be understood that, in this embodiment, when the first magnet 230 is not offset, the minimum distance between the outer wall surface of the first magnet 230 and the rotation axis 1 of the driving assembly 300 is greater than L3.
[0083] It is understood that the push member or the receiving groove 321 may be circular and eccentrically disposed relative to the rotation axis 1 of the drive assembly 300. Alternatively, it may be in the shape of an elliptical ring or other irregular ring shape. In this case, the push member or the receiving groove 321 may not be eccentrically disposed, and the distances between different positions of its outer wall and the rotation axis 1 of the drive assembly 300 may also be different, while still achieving the technical effects of the above-mentioned embodiment.
[0084] refer to Figure 10 and Figure 12 In some embodiments of the present invention, multiple second magnets 330 can be connected in sequence to form an annular push member, that is, multiple second magnets 330 together constitute an annular push member, and the minimum distance between the outer wall surface of the push member and the rotation axis l of the driving assembly 300 is L3, where L2>L3.
[0085] In this embodiment, the second magnet 330 can be directly fixed to the driving component 300 by bonding or the like, or a groove can be hollowed out on the driving component 300 and the second magnet 330 can be directly inserted therein. The annular push member composed of multiple second magnets 330 directly contacts the first magnet 230. There is no need to add an additional push structure to the driving component 300, which is conducive to further simplification of the structural design, saving the internal volume of the water outlet device 1000, and is conducive to the miniaturization and compact design of the water outlet device 1000.
[0086] refer to Figure 16 and Figure 17 In some embodiments of the present invention, the flow channel 210 includes a first flow channel 211 and a second flow channel 212 arranged in sequence along the direction of water flow. The cross-sectional area of the first flow channel 211 gradually decreases along the direction of water flow. At the connection between the second flow channel 212 and the first flow channel 211, the cross-sectional area of the second flow channel 212 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the first flow channel 211. A first air intake hole 2121 is also provided through the peripheral wall of the water outlet component 200. Specifically, the first air intake hole 2121 is provided on the peripheral wall of the second flow channel 212, and the first air intake hole 2121 connects the second flow channel 212 with the outside world. According to the Venturi principle, when water flows from the first flow channel 211 with a gradually decreasing cross-sectional area into the second flow channel 212 with a larger cross-sectional area, the pressure on the second flow channel 212 side of the connection is less than atmospheric pressure. At this time, external gas will enter the second flow channel 212 through the first air intake hole 2121 and mix with the water flow to form bubble water.
[0087] Specifically, the first air intake hole 2121 can be located on the side of the water outlet assembly 200 facing away from the second magnet 330, or it can be located on the side of the water outlet assembly 200 closer to the second magnet 330. Taking the example of the first air intake hole 2121 being located on the side of the water outlet assembly 200 facing away from the second magnet 330, when the water outlet is in a contracted shape, the first air intake hole 2121 is open, allowing air to enter and mix with the water flow, and the water outlet assembly 200 outputs bubble water. In this case, the water flow is softer and has less impact on the human body than ordinary shower water. When the water outlet is in a diffuse shape, the first air intake hole 2121 is blocked by the inner wall of the outlet port 121, and no air enters the second flow channel 212, so the water outlet assembly 200 outputs ordinary shower water.
[0088] In this embodiment, when the first magnet 230 is driven by the second magnet 330, and the water outlet shape switches between contraction and expansion, the water outlet assembly 200 switches between shower water and bubble water, providing a more diverse shower feel and meeting the user's different showering needs. This also avoids the problem of similar water outlet assemblies that only have fixed bubble water outlets and cannot be changed. The present invention eliminates the need for separate water outlet channels and outlets for ordinary shower water. A single water outlet assembly 200 can circulate both shower water and bubble water, facilitating a simpler and more compact shower structure.
[0089] refer to Figure 18 In some embodiments of the present invention, a second air intake hole 2122 is provided on the peripheral wall of the water outlet component 200 to connect the inside of the second flow channel 212 and the outside, and the first air intake hole 2121 and the second air intake hole 2122 are symmetrical with each other about the axis of the water outlet component 200.
[0090] In this embodiment, regardless of whether the first magnet 230 is attracted or repelled by the second magnet 330, one air hole remains open while the other remains blocked. This means that regardless of whether the water is diffuse or contracted, the water is always bubbling. However, when either air hole is blocked, only one air hole draws in air. While the first magnet 230 is oscillating, both the first air intake hole 2121 and the second air intake hole 2122 may be open simultaneously. For example, when the first magnet 230 is pushed back to a non-deflected position by the push member, both air holes simultaneously allow air to flow in. This allows for a greater amount of air to flow in, resulting in a greater amount of mixed air in the bubbling water and a softer shower feel.
[0091] It can be understood that it is not limited to the case where the first magnet 230 is in a non-shifted position that the two air holes will take in air at the same time. In fact, as long as one side of the water outlet component 200 is out of contact with the inner wall of the outlet 121 and the other side has not yet contacted the inner wall of the outlet 121, the two air holes will open at the same time. During this whole process, more mixed gas and softer bubble water will be output.
[0092] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, the driving assembly 300 includes an impeller assembly 310, a disk body 320 is provided on the driving assembly 300, a thrust member is provided on a side of the disk body 320 close to the water outlet assembly 200, and a second magnet 330 is provided on a side of the disk body 320 close to the water outlet assembly 200.
[0093] It can be understood that the impeller assembly 310 and the disk body 320 can be directly connected or connected through the drive rod 340, or the impeller assembly 310 and the disk body 320 can be designed as an integral part, or the impeller assembly 310 and the disk body 320 can be driven and connected by some existing technologies such as some reduction gears and reduction plates. In short, as long as the impeller assembly 310 rotates, the disk body 320 can rotate synchronously, and there is no limitation here.
[0094] In this embodiment, water enters the inlet 111 and impacts the impeller assembly 310, causing it to rotate. This in turn drives the disc 320 to rotate, causing the second magnet 330 to rotate accordingly, driving the first magnet 230 to oscillate. Simultaneously, the pusher also rotates, pushing against the first magnet 230 it encounters, causing it to deflect, thus providing the user with a more diverse water flow pattern.
