DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] 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.

[0030] The utility model relates to a water outlet device, comprising a base 100, a water outlet member 200 and a reset assembly 300. The water outlet device can be used as various water spray products such as a shower waist spray, a shower head, a spray gun, and a faucet.

[0031] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the base 100 can be in a box-like, disc-like, or other shapes, but is not limited thereto. A water cavity 110 is provided in the base 100. The water cavity 110 is connected to an external water supply system, such as a tap water pipe, a water heater, or the like. A water outlet 200 is mounted on the base 100, and one, two, or more water outlets 200 can be mounted on the base 100. The water outlet 200 can be in the shape of a spout. The water outlet 200 is connected to the water cavity 110, and after water flows through the water cavity 110, water can be sprayed out to the outside of the base 100 for use through the water outlet 200. The water outlet 200 can swing on the base 100 to change the direction of the water spray. The water outlet 200 can be rotatably mounted on the base 100 by means of a rotating shaft, a spherical hinge, or the like, so as to swing relative to the base 100. The swinging position of the water outlet 200 relative to the base 100 includes a first position and a second position. The initial position of the water outlet part 200 is defined as the first position, and the other positions of the water outlet part 200 that are swung away from the first position are all the second positions. The reset component 300 is movably installed in the base 100, and the reset component 300 has a third position and a fourth position relative to the water outlet part 200. The reset component 300 and the water outlet part 200 can be linked. In this embodiment, in the direction shown in the figure, the position when the water outlet part 200 is in a vertical direction is the first position, and the position when the water outlet part 200 is in a skewed direction is the second position. The reset component 300 is located above the water outlet part 200, and the reset component 300 moves up and down relative to the water outlet part 200. As shown in FIG. Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, when the reset assembly 300 moves upward to the third position, it separates from the water outlet 200, allowing the user to swing the water outlet 200 between the first and second positions to adjust the spray direction as needed. When the reset assembly 300 moves from the third position to the fourth position, it acts on the water outlet 200, resetting it from the second position to the first position and confining it to the first position, preventing it from deviating from the first position. During use, the user can adjust the spray direction of the water outlet 200 as desired, and then quickly reset the water outlet 200 and maintain it in the first position through resetting. This facilitates readjustment of the water outlet 200 and prevents the user from accidentally spraying water the next time the water outlet 200 is used.

[0032] The movement of the reset component 300 can be controlled manually or automatically. Manual control means that the user directly controls the position of the reset component 300 by manually acting on the reset component 300. Automatic control can be achieved by controlling the movement of the reset component 300 electrically or according to the water pressure conditions of the water chamber 110. In some embodiments of the present invention, the reset component 300 is moved according to the water pressure conditions in the water chamber 110. When water enters the water chamber 110, the water in the water chamber 110 will spray out from the water outlet 200. At this time, the water in the water chamber 110 generates a certain water pressure acting on the reset component 300, so that the reset component 300 can move from the fourth position to the third position. Figure 5 As shown, when the water supply to water chamber 110 is stopped, the water in water chamber 110 is drained through the water outlet 200. The water pressure in water chamber 110 on the reset assembly 300 is reduced, and the reset assembly 300 automatically moves from the third position to the fourth position, resetting the water outlet 200 to the first position. During use, as long as water is flowing into water chamber 110, the restrictive effect of the reset assembly 300 on the water outlet 200 is automatically released, allowing the user to adjust the spray angle of the water outlet 200. As long as the water supply to water chamber 110 is cut off, the water outlet 200 is automatically reset, ensuring that the water outlet 200 is in the first position before each water supply, effectively preventing accidental spraying of the user during the moment of water supply.

[0033] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the reset assembly 300 includes a movable seat 310 and an elastic member 320. The elastic member 320 can be a component with a certain elastic deformation capability, such as a spring. The movable seat 310 is movably mounted on the base 100. In this embodiment, in the direction shown, the movable seat 310 moves up and down between a third position and a fourth position relative to the water outlet 200 in the base 100. The elastic member 320 exerts an elastic force on the movable seat 310, which drives the movable seat 310 toward the fourth position. The movable seat 310 is provided with a reset space 330, which faces the water outlet 200 and communicates with the water chamber 110. The water outlet 200 is provided with a swing shaft 210. The swing shaft 210 can be integrally formed with the water outlet 200 or mounted on the water outlet 200 as a separate component. In this embodiment, the swing shaft 210 extends axially from the end of the water outlet 200 near the movable seat 310. When water is flowing through water chamber 110, it enters reset space 330, exerting hydraulic pressure on movable seat 310 toward the third position. This hydraulic pressure overcomes the elastic force, driving movable seat 310 to the third position. When water is removed from water chamber 110, the hydraulic pressure in reset space 330 is removed, and movable seat 310 moves downward to the fourth position. Reset space 330 is sleeved onto the end of pendulum shaft 210, allowing it to be moved by reset space 330, thereby driving water outlet member 200 to swing from the second position back to the first position.

[0034] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the reset space 330 includes a guide portion 331. The guide portion 331 includes a first end 332 and a second end 333. The first end 332 is closer to the water outlet 200 than the second end 333. The guide portion 331 is in a tapered shape that gradually shrinks from the first end 332 to the second end 333. The opening range of the first end 332 covers the swing range of the swing shaft 210, that is, the swing range of the swing shaft 210 along with the water outlet 200 is located within the projection range of the first end 332 toward the water outlet 200. In this embodiment, the second end 333 is coaxial with the water outlet 200 when it is in the first position, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, when the water outlet 200 swings to the second position and the movable seat 310 moves from the third position to the fourth position, the upper end of the swing shaft 210 enters the guide portion 331 from the first end 332, and the upper end of the swing shaft 210 abuts against the inclined wall of the guide portion 331, which guides the upper end of the swing shaft 210 toward the second end 333, thereby gradually returning the water outlet 200 from the second position to the first position. Figure 5 As shown, when the end of the swing shaft 210 is aligned and penetrates into the second end 333, the water outlet member 200 switches to the first position.

[0035] Furthermore, the reset space 330 includes a stopper 334. The stopper 334 is in communication with the second end 333. The end of the swing shaft 210 passes through the second end 333 and then extends into the stopper 334. The stopper 334 is shaped to match the shape of the swing shaft 210. The end of the swing shaft 210 passes through the second end 333 and then extends into the stopper 334. The stopper 334 limits the deflection of the swing shaft 210, thereby confining the water outlet member 200 in the first position.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the base 100 is provided with a mounting position 120. A mounting seat 400 is provided within the mounting position 120. The water outlet member 200 is swingably mounted on the mounting seat 400, and the reset assembly 300 is movably mounted on the mounting seat 400. The water outlet member 200 and the reset assembly 300 are combined into a module via the mounting seat 400 and quickly mounted on the base 100. The base 100 may have one, two, or more mounting positions 120, each corresponding to a mounting seat 400. Each water outlet member 200 is used independently, and each water outlet member 200 is controlled and reset by a corresponding reset assembly 300. A water passage space is defined between the reset assembly 300 and the water outlet member 200, communicating with the water chamber 110. Water in the water chamber 110 is diverted into the water passage space corresponding to each mounting seat 400. Water is then ejected from the water passage space toward the corresponding water outlet member 200, simultaneously acting on the reset assembly 300.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the mounting seat 400 includes a first seat body 410 and a second seat body 420. The mounting position 120 passes through the water cavity 110 and forms a first hole position 121 and a second hole position 122 on the base 100. The first hole position 121 and the second hole position 122 are coaxially arranged circular holes. The outer contour of the water outlet member 200 is set to a spherical surface, and the middle part of the water outlet member 200 is axially opened as a water spray channel. A spherical support position is provided on the first seat body 410, and the water outlet member 200 and the first seat body 410 are connected by a spherical surface. A sealing ring can be provided between the water outlet member 200 and the first seat body 410 for water sealing. The water outlet member 200 rotates on the first seat body 410, thereby adjusting the swing range of the water outlet member 200 in a wider range. The first seat body 410 overlaps the first hole position 121. A ridge 123 can be provided on the first hole 121, extending radially inward along the circumferential direction of the first hole 121. The first base 410 overlaps the ridge 123, and a sealing ring can be provided between the first base 410 and the inner wall of the first hole 121 for water sealing. The reset assembly 300 is movably mounted on the second base 420. Specifically, the second base 420 can be hollow cylindrical, and the shape of the movable base 310 can be adapted to the shape of the second base 420. The movable base 310 is coaxially slidably mounted in the second base 420, and a sealing ring is provided between the movable base 310 and the second base 420 for sliding sealing. The second base 420 is detachably mounted in the second hole 122. The second base 420 extends into the water cavity 110 and abuts against the first base 410, and the second base 420 is used to fix the first base 410 to the first hole 121. A clamping groove 411 is provided circumferentially on the outer wall of the first base body 410. A clamping strip 421 extends from the second base body 420 toward the first base body 410. The clamping strip 421 passes through the water chamber 110 and is clamped to the clamping groove 411. The end of the clamping strip 421 abuts against the first base body 410 and presses the first base body 410 axially down onto the ridge 123, thereby fixing the first base body 410 in the first hole 121. At the same time, through the cooperation of the clamping groove 411 and the clamping strip 421, the first base body 410 and the second base body 420 are integrated, and during installation, the first base body 410 and the second base body 420 can be synchronously loaded and unloaded relative to the base 100.

[0038] Furthermore, the second seat body 420 and the second hole position 122 are threadedly connected. By rotating the second seat body 420, the screwing depth of the second seat body 420 relative to the second hole position 122 can be controlled, thereby ensuring that the second seat body 420 presses the second seat body 420 downward and fixes it in the first hole position 121. A sealing ring can be provided between the second seat body 420 and the second hole position 122 for water sealing. The reset assembly 300 is installed in the second seat body 420 and a receiving chamber 422 is defined between the two. A through hole 423 is provided on the side of the second seat body 420 away from the first seat body 410, and the through hole 423 is connected to the receiving chamber 422. The provision of the through hole 423 can prevent pressure buildup relative to the second seat body 420 when the movable seat 310 moves. During installation, a tool can be inserted into the through hole 423 through the second hole position 122 to control the rotation of the second seat body 420 to install the second seat body 420. The cooperation between the locking slot 411 and the locking strip 421 ensures that the second base body 420 will not interfere with the first base body 410 when rotating, thereby preventing the installation from being affected.
