[0050] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this embodiment provides a water outlet device that can meet the needs of different users and enhance the user experience. The water outlet device includes a base 1 and at least one water outlet component 2.

[0051] Among them, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 The base 1 is provided with a water inlet channel 111, and the water outlet assembly 2 includes a water outlet shell 21 and a water retaining structure 22 rotatably arranged in the water outlet shell 21. The water outlet shell 21 is movably arranged on the base 1 with an adjustable installation angle, and the water inlet end of the water outlet shell 21 is connected to the water inlet channel 111. The water outlet end of the water outlet shell 21 is provided with a plurality of water outlet holes 2121. The water retaining structure 22 can rotate relative to the water outlet shell 21 under the action of water flow to intermittently block part of the water outlet holes 2121 on the water outlet shell 21.

[0052] Optionally, the water inlet channel 111 can be connected to the water pipe of the shower head. After the bath water enters the water inlet channel 111, it flows into the water outlet shell 21 of the water outlet assembly 2. The water in the water outlet shell 21 is then sprayed out through multiple water outlet holes 2121 to provide shower water for the user. Figure 2 The direction indicated by the curved arrow is the direction of water flow.

[0053] The water outlet device provided in this embodiment is movable and angle-adjustable relative to the base 1, so that different users can manually adjust the water outlet angle of the water outlet assembly 2 according to their own needs. Specifically, the user can adjust the installation angle of the water outlet housing 21 relative to the base 1 as needed, thereby changing the orientation of the water outlet hole 2121 and changing the direction of the water flow ejected from the water outlet hole 2121. That is, the water outlet device can adaptively adjust the water outlet direction of the water outlet assembly 2 according to the needs of different users, so that the water outlet device has different water spray forms, thereby adapting to the usage requirements of different users (such as users of different heights), improving the convenience of using the shower head, and enhancing the user experience. At the same time, during the water outlet process of the water outlet assembly 2, the water retaining structure 22 can intermittently block at least part of the water outlet hole 2121, that is, multiple water outlet holes 2121 can intermittently alternately discharge water, forming a pulsed water outlet mode. The water flow generated by this water outlet mode can produce a massage effect on the user who is showering, thereby improving the comfort of bathing. Furthermore, when the base 1 is provided with a plurality of water outlet components 2, the shower area of the shower head can be expanded, further enhancing the user experience.

[0054] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The water outlet components 2 are provided with a plurality of them, and the base 1 is in an elongated strip shape. The plurality of water outlet components 2 are spaced apart along the length direction of the base 1, which can expand the shower water outlet coverage area of the shower head. For example, four water outlet components 2 are provided.

[0055] In other embodiments, the base 1 may also be disc-shaped, with multiple water outlet components 2 distributed in a ring shape on the base 1. The number and distribution of the water outlet components 2 can be adjusted according to actual needs and are not limited to the number and distribution listed above.

[0056] Optionally, see Figure 2 and Figure 3The base 1 is provided with a mounting cavity 13 that is in communication with the water inlet channel 111. The inner cavity of the water outlet housing 21 is in communication with the mounting cavity 13. The water outlet housing 21 includes a rotating portion 211 and a water outlet portion 212 that are connected. The rotating portion 211 is rotatably mounted in the mounting cavity 13, and the rotation angle of the rotating portion 211 is adjustable. The water outlet portion 212 at least partially extends out of the mounting cavity 13. The mounting angle of the water outlet housing 21 relative to the base 1 is adjusted by rotation, and the adjustment operation is convenient and flexible to use. In this embodiment, the water outlet hole 2121 is provided on the end surface of the water outlet portion 212 away from one end of the rotating portion 211. The water outlet portion 212 is designed to extend out of the mounting cavity 13. On the one hand, it will not interfere with the water outlet hole 2121. On the other hand, the user can grasp the water outlet portion 212 to adjust the rotation angle of the water outlet housing 21, which is more convenient to use.

[0057] Exemplarily, the outer peripheral surface of the rotating part 211 is a spherical surface, and correspondingly, the installation cavity 13 is a spherical cavity. With this arrangement, the rotating part 211 can rotate 360 degrees in the installation cavity 13, so that the water outlet angle adjustment range of the water outlet component 2 is wider and the use is more flexible.

[0058] See Figure 1 and Figure 3 The water outlet portion 212 is cylindrical, and the outer diameter of the water outlet portion 212 is larger than the diameter of the spherical rotating portion 211, which can prevent the water outlet housing 21 from escaping from the installation cavity 13 and ensure the installation stability of the water outlet assembly 2.

[0059] In other embodiments, the rotating portion 211 can also be rotatably installed in the installation cavity 13 via a pin shaft, so that the water outlet housing 21 as a whole can rotate around the pin shaft to adjust the direction of the water outlet hole 2121 and change the water outlet direction of the water outlet assembly 2.

[0060] In other embodiments, an arc-shaped sliding groove can also be provided on the base 1, and the length direction of the sliding groove is along the width direction or length direction of the base 1. The water outlet shell 21 is slidably installed in the sliding groove, and the installation angle of the water outlet shell 21 relative to the base 1 is adjusted by sliding to change the direction of the water outlet hole 2121, thereby adjusting the water outlet direction.

[0061] Optionally, see Figure 1 、 Figure 5 and Figure 7The base 1 includes a detachably connected base body 11 and a fixing member 12. The water inlet channel 111 is provided on the base body 11. The base body 11 is provided with a first groove 112 connected to the water inlet channel 111. The fixing member 12 is provided with a second groove 121. The second groove 121 and the first groove 112 are surrounded by a mounting cavity 13. The base 1 is designed to be two detachable parts, which is convenient for assembling the water outlet component 2 and the base 1, and is conducive to the later maintenance of the water outlet component 2, reducing maintenance costs. After the fixing member 12 is fixed to the base body 11, the rotating part 211 of the water outlet housing 21 is located in the mounting cavity 13 formed by the first groove 112 and the second groove 121. Figure 3 shown.

[0062] Optionally, see Figure 1 and Figure 5 The fixing member 12 has an annular portion 122 protruding from the side facing away from the base 11. The annular space of the annular portion 122 communicates with the second groove 121. The water outlet 212 extends through the annular space of the annular portion 122, and the annular portion 122 is spaced apart from the water outlet 212. The annular portion 122 limits the rotation range of the water outlet 212, restricting its rotation within the effective shower range and reducing the difficulty for the user to adjust the water outlet direction.

[0063] Optionally, the end surface of the annular portion 122 away from the fixing member 12 is a non-uniform surface. In this embodiment, see Figure 1 The end faces of the annular portion 122 are concave on both sides of the width direction of the fixing member 12 and convex on both sides of the length direction of the fixing member 12. This arrangement allows the water outlet portion 212 to rotate at a greater angle in the width direction than in the length direction, which can further limit the angle adjustment range of the water outlet portion 212 and improve the adjustment efficiency of the water outlet direction of the water outlet assembly 2.

[0064] Optionally, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 The water outlet device further includes a fastener 3, and the fixing member 12 is detachably fixed to the seat body 11 through the fastener 3. Figure 5 and Figure 7 A connecting hole 113 is provided on the seat body 11, and a fixing hole 123 is provided on the fixing member 12. During the specific assembly, the water outlet assembly 2 is installed as a whole into the second groove 121 of the fixing member 12, and then the fixing hole 123 on the fixing member 12 is aligned with the connecting hole 113, and the fastener 3 is passed through the fixing hole 123 and connected and fixed with the connecting hole 113, so that the seat body 11 and the fixing member 12 can be fastened.

[0065] Exemplarily, the fixing member 12 is a plate-like structure, the fastener 3 is a screw, the fixing hole 123 is a light hole, a connecting column is protruding from the base body 11, and the connecting hole 113 is a threaded hole set on the connecting column. The screw passes through the fixing hole 123 and is tightened in the threaded hole, and the tightening operation is simple.

[0066] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5 Multiple fasteners 3 are provided, spaced apart along the length of the fixing member 12, thereby enhancing the connection strength between the fixing member 12 and the base 11. For example, five fasteners 3 are provided, one on each side of each water outlet assembly 2. In other embodiments, the number of fasteners 3 can be adaptively increased or decreased based on factors such as the length of the base 1 and the number of water outlet assemblies 2 provided.

[0067] Optionally, see Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 The base 1 also includes a seal 14, which is in sealing contact with the outer wall of the water outlet housing 21 to prevent water leakage from the gap between the water outlet housing 21 and the inner wall of the installation cavity 13, ensuring that there is sufficient water pressure in the water outlet housing 21 so that the water outlet component 2 can discharge water smoothly.

[0068] For example, the base body 11 is provided with a sealing groove 115 at the notch of the first groove 112, and the fixing member 12 is provided with an abutment ring 124 at the notch of the second groove 121. When the fixing member 12 is firmly fixed to the base 1, the abutment ring 124 can press the sealing member 14 into the sealing groove 115, thereby ensuring the sealing reliability of the sealing member 14 and preventing water leakage. The sealing member 14 is exemplarily a rubber sealing ring.

[0069] In other optional embodiments, the fixing member 12 can also be fixed to the base 11 by a snap-fit structure, which can also realize the disassembly and assembly of the water outlet assembly 2. For example, a plurality of slots can be provided on the base 11, and a plurality of elastic hooks can be provided on the fixing member 12. The plurality of elastic hooks can be snapped into the plurality of slots one by one to achieve the fixing of the base 11 and the fixing member 12.

[0070] Optionally, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5 One end of the seat body 11 is provided with a water inlet connector 114 connected to the water inlet channel 111. The water inlet connector 114 is used to connect to the water pipe of the shower head, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly of the water outlet device.

[0071] For example, the outer surface of the water inlet connector 114 is provided with a threaded structure, and the water pipe interface of the shower head is correspondingly provided with a threaded interface. When installing the water outlet device, it is only necessary to screw the water inlet connector 114 thread into the threaded interface. The disassembly and assembly operation is simple, and the connection is reliable.

[0072] Optionally, see Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 6 The water outlet assembly 2 also includes an inclined water part 23, an impeller 24 and a speed reducer 25. The inclined water part 23 is arranged in the water outlet housing 21, and an inclined water hole 231 is provided on the inclined water part 23. The impeller 24 is arranged in the water outlet housing 21 and is located downstream of the inclined water part 23. The impeller 24 is rotatably connected to the inclined water part 23. The speed reducer 25 is arranged in the water outlet housing 21 and is transmission-connected to the inner wall of the water outlet housing 21. The speed reducer 25 is located downstream of the impeller 24, and has a decelerating effect on the water retaining structure 22, which can make the rotation speed of the water retaining structure 22 more stable and ensure stable water outlet. The speed reducer 25 is fixedly connected to the impeller 24, and the water retaining structure 22 is arranged on the side of the speed reducer 25 facing away from the impeller 24. The impeller 24 can rotate under the action of the water flow output by the inclined water hole 231, and drive the speed reducer 25 to drive the water retaining structure 22 to rotate.

[0073] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the inclined water member 23, the impeller 24 and the speed reducer 25 are sequentially arranged in the water outlet housing 21 along the water outlet direction. The water flow can flow through the inclined water member 23, the impeller 24 and the speed reducer 25 in sequence, and finally spray out from the multiple water outlet holes 2121. The inclined water hole 231 can change the flow direction of the water flow, so that the water flow is inclined to rush toward the impeller 24, generating a rotational torque on the impeller 24, driving the impeller 24 to rotate. Since the impeller 24 is fixedly connected to the speed reducer 25, the impeller 24 can drive the speed reducer 25 and the water retaining structure 22 to rotate synchronously in the water outlet housing 21, so that the water retaining structure 22 intermittently blocks at least part of the water outlet holes 2121, thereby achieving intermittent water outlet. That is, the kinetic energy of the water flow itself is used to drive the water retaining structure 22 to rotate, without the need for an additional power mechanism. The structural design is simple, which can reduce the manufacturing cost of the water outlet device.

[0074] For example, the water retaining structure 22 and the speed reducing member 25 are integrally formed, which is convenient for processing, can reduce the number of parts, facilitate the assembly of the water outlet assembly 2, and improve assembly efficiency.

[0075] In other embodiments, the water retaining structure 22 and the speed reducer 25 may also be of split design, where the water retaining structure 22 and the speed reducer 25 are processed separately and then assembled and fixed together at a later stage.

[0076] In this embodiment, the inclined water member 23 is provided with multiple inclined water holes 231 spaced circumferentially. These holes 231 are aligned in a consistent direction to ensure sufficient water flow impact on the impeller 24, ensuring smooth rotation of the impeller 24. For example, three inclined water holes 231 are evenly spaced circumferentially on the inclined water member 23 to ensure uniform force on the impeller 24. In other embodiments, the number of inclined water holes 231 can be increased or decreased as needed.

[0077] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 A water hole 116 is provided in the first groove 112 of the base body 11, and the water inlet channel 111 is connected to the first groove 112 through the water hole 116. Furthermore, the water hole 116 is located in the middle of the first groove 112, so that the water flow can directly hit the inclined water member 23, ensuring that the water flow passing through the inclined water member 23 has sufficient impact force.

[0078] Optionally, see Figure 4 and Figure 6 The water retaining structure 22 includes a plurality of water retaining plates 221. The plurality of water retaining plates 221 are distributed in a ring shape with the rotation axis of the speed reducer 25 as the center. Each water retaining plate 221 can block at least one water outlet 2121. In this embodiment, the thickness of the water retaining plate 221 is smaller than the aperture size of the water outlet 2121. When the impeller 24 drives the speed reducer 25 to rotate, the plurality of water retaining plates 221 rotate with the speed reducer 25. When the water retaining plates 221 rotate to the top of the water outlet 2121, they can block a portion of the water outlet 2121, reducing the water outlet area of the water outlet 2121, causing the direction of the water flow from the water outlet 2121 to change, thereby changing the water outlet pattern of the water outlet component 2. At the same time, at different moments in the process of the water baffle 221 rotating with the speed reducer 25, the area of the water outlet 2121 blocked by the water baffle 221 is different, resulting in different water outlet directions and water outputs from the water outlet 2121 at different moments, thereby realizing intermittent water outlet from multiple water outlet holes 2121 of the water outlet component 2 to achieve a massage effect.

[0079] Of course, in other embodiments, the thickness of the water baffle 221 can also be designed to be greater than or equal to the aperture size of the water outlet hole 2121. In this case, since the water retaining structure 22 is rotatable within the water outlet housing 21, that is, there is a gap between the bottom of the water baffle 221 and the water outlet hole 2121, when the water baffle 221 rotates to face the water outlet hole 2121, although the water outlet hole 2121 is completely blocked, the gap between the water baffle 221 and the water outlet hole 2121 still allows water to flow out, and the water flow is relatively small. After the water baffle 221 gradually moves away from the water outlet hole 2121, the water flow out of the water outlet hole 2121 gradually increases. This reciprocating cycle can also achieve intermittent water discharge from multiple water outlet holes 2121, thereby adjusting the water flow rate.

[0080] For example, the water outlet end of the water outlet housing 21 is provided with three water outlet holes 2121 spaced apart along the circumferential direction. Accordingly, three water baffles 221 are provided, and the three water baffles 221 can respectively block the three water outlet holes 2121. In other embodiments, two concentric circles of water outlet holes 2121 can also be provided, each circle having three water outlet holes 2121, with the water outlet holes 2121 in two adjacent circles corresponding to each other, and each water baffle 221 can block two opposing water outlet holes 2121 on the same radial line.

[0081] It should be noted that the number and distribution of the water outlet holes 2121 and the water baffles 221 are not limited to the above-listed forms and can be adjusted accordingly according to actual needs.

[0082] Optionally, see Figure 3 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 The water-sloping member 23 is provided with a rotating shaft 232, and the impeller 24 is provided with a first shaft hole 241. The rotating shaft 232 and the first shaft hole 241 are rotatably engaged. The arrangement of the rotating shaft 232 and the first shaft hole 241 enables the impeller 24 to always rotate around the rotating shaft 232, preventing the impeller 24 from circumferentially moving within the water outlet housing 21, thereby improving the rotational stability of the impeller 24.

[0083] See Figure 6 The inclined water member 23 is disc-shaped, and a plurality of limiting protrusions 233 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction on the outer peripheral side surface of the inclined water member 23. When the inclined water member 23 is installed to the water outlet housing 21, the plurality of limiting protrusions 233 can abut against the inner wall of the water outlet housing 21 to limit the inclined water member 23 circumferentially to the water outlet housing 21, thereby preventing the inclined water member 23 from rotating under the action of water flow, and further ensuring the rotation stability of the impeller 24.

[0084] See Figure 3 and Figure 6 A flange 234 is provided on the inclined water member 23 along the circumferential ring. The flange 234 can stop the end face of the water inlet end of the water outlet housing 21 to limit the installation position of the inclined water member 23 and improve the installation stability of the inclined water member 23 on the water outlet housing 21.

[0085] Optionally, see Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8The impeller 24 is provided with an eccentric cam 242, which is eccentrically arranged relative to the first axial hole 241. The speed reducer 25 is provided with a second axial hole 251, into which the eccentric cam 242 is inserted and fixed. The inner wall of the water outlet housing 21 is circumferentially provided with a plurality of first teeth 2111, and the outer edge of the speed reducer 25 is circumferentially provided with a plurality of second teeth 252, which can mesh with the first teeth 2111 for transmission. When the impeller 24 rotates under the action of the inclined water flow generated by the inclined water hole 231, the eccentric cam 242 can drive the speed reducer 25 to rotate eccentrically. At the same time, a portion of the second teeth 252 on the speed reducer 25 meshes with a portion of the first teeth 2111 in the water outlet housing 21 for transmission.

[0086] The arrangement of multiple first teeth 2111, multiple second teeth 252 and the eccentric cam 242 enables the deceleration member 25 to rotate stably eccentrically in the water outlet housing 21, thereby reducing the rotational speed of the deceleration member 25, making the rotational speed of the water retaining structure 22 in the water outlet housing 21 appropriate and uniform and stable, ensuring that the water flow velocity ejected from the water outlet hole 2121 is not too large or too small, thereby ensuring that the outlet water flow has a better massage effect.

[0087] In this embodiment, the number of the first teeth 2111 is greater than the number of the second teeth 252, which can ensure a better deceleration effect. For example, the deceleration member 25 is disc-shaped, and the plurality of second teeth 252 are spaced apart and distributed around the outer circumference of the disc-shaped deceleration member 25.

[0088] Optionally, see Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 The speed reducer 25 is provided with a plurality of water diversion holes 253, which are staggered with the water retaining structure 22. Water flowing through the impeller 24 flows through the plurality of water diversion holes 253 into the water outlet portion 212 of the water outlet housing 21, facilitating smooth discharge of water from the water outlet holes 2121. The staggered arrangement of the water retaining plate 221 of the water retaining structure 22 and the water diversion holes 253 ensures the water retaining function of the water retaining structure 22, allowing for intermittent water discharge from the water outlet holes 2121.

[0089] See Figure 6 and Figure 8 The water diversion holes 253 include two types, one is a waist-shaped hole and the other is a circular hole. The waist-shaped hole has a larger water output and can change the path of the water flow, so that the direction and speed of the water flow change, thereby making the water outlet pattern of the water outlet hole 2121 more diversified.

[0090] In other embodiments, only one type of water diversion hole 253 may be provided on the speed reducing member 25 , for example, all of the water diversion holes 253 are circular holes.

[0091] This embodiment also provides a shower head, comprising a faucet, a water pipe, and the aforementioned water outlet device. The water outlet device is disposed at the outlet end of the water pipe, and the faucet is used to control the on / off state of the water pipe and / or adjust the water output of the water outlet device. Furthermore, the water pipe comprises a shower pipe and a shower hose. The base 1 of the fixed water outlet device is fixed to the top of the shower pipe. The movable water outlet device is connected to the faucet via the shower hose and can be fixed to the shower head support of the shower pipe by a clip.

[0092] With a shower head using the water outlet device of this embodiment, users can adapt the water outlet assembly 2 to their needs, allowing the water outlet device to produce different water spray patterns to meet the needs of different users, improving the convenience and user experience of the shower head. Furthermore, the water outlet device can intermittently alternate water discharge, forming a pulsed water discharge mode, which can produce a massage effect on the user while showering, improving bathing comfort.
