Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of faucet water outlet equipment, and in particular to a faucet micro-bubble water outlet. Background Art

[0002] A faucet aerator refers to an appliance that has a foaming effect and saves water. It allows the flowing water and air to be fully mixed, providing a larger contact area when washing hands. The water does not splash, the water flows gently, and the bursting of bubbles can enhance the cleaning effect, meeting people's demand for the experience of using sparkling water.

[0003] Traditional faucet aerators only have a bubbling function and cannot switch to other water outlet modes, especially the shower water outlet mode that people usually need. They have a single function and poor applicability. In order to cater to the different water needs of consumers, some faucet aerators with multiple water supply modes have begun to appear. For example, when a strong flush is needed, the user is provided with a powerful jet of shower water, while when a water-saving flush is needed, the user is provided with dense bubble water. This can achieve the purpose of improving the cleaning effect with a small amount of water, making it convenient for users to choose and use. However, this type of faucet aerator is still a preliminary emerging product and has many defects. For example, the structure is complex and the operation of switching the water outlet mode is inconvenient.

[0004] In addition, according to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), bubble water with a bubble diameter of less than 100μm can be called microbubble water. The interfacial properties of microbubble water can efficiently clean oil substances on solid surfaces and have better cleaning effects. In recent years, it has gradually been used in faucet aerators. The common faucet aerators use the Venturi suction principle to discharge bubble water. Although the existing structure can achieve the water-gas mixing effect, it uses the Venturi principle for suction, which makes the bubbles in the water very large and the amount of microbubbles is insufficient. In order to enhance the deep cleaning effect of the water body, a large amount of microbubbles is required. Therefore, an air pump is sometimes required to assist, resulting in a complex structure. Utility Model Content

The shower water outlet area is provided with a shower water outlet hole connecting the shower water outlet cavity with the outside atmosphere, and the bubble water outlet area is provided with a bubble water outlet hole connecting the bubble water outlet cavity with the outside atmosphere.

[0018] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the technical effects achieved by this application include at least:

[0019] 1. The faucet micro-bubble water outlet provided in the present application has a water inlet component used to guide the water flow discharged from the faucet into the water diversion component. The water flow first enters the water inlet cavity, then enters the water diversion part through the water outlet hole, and then is diverted through the water diversion part. Specifically, when the water diversion component is in the bubble water position, the water outlet hole is connected with the bubble water hole, and the water diversion part diverts the water through the bubble water hole to the bubble water outlet cavity, so that the faucet micro-bubble water outlet discharges bubble water; when the water diversion component is in the shower water position, the water outlet hole is connected with the shower water hole, and the water diversion part diverts the water through the shower water hole to the shower water outlet cavity, so that the faucet micro-bubble water outlet discharges shower water. Therefore, the faucet micro-bubble water outlet of the present application is compatible with both shower water and bubble water functions, allowing users to switch the water outlet mode according to their needs. When strong water flushing is required, the faucet micro-bubble water outlet can provide powerful shower water in a jet flow, and when water-saving flushing is required, the faucet micro-bubble water outlet can provide dense micro-bubble water. Especially in the process of cleaning items with stubborn oil stains, the impact of the microbubble bursting when the microbubble water contacts the cleaned items can have a better flushing effect on the stubborn oil stains on the cleaned items, which can improve the cleanliness. Moreover, the shower water outlet cavity is arranged around the bubble water outlet cavity as a whole, and the bubble water is discharged from the middle of the water distribution component, and the bubble water is dense and dense, and the shower water is discharged from the periphery, and the shower water outlet surface is large. The water diversion chamber is rotatably mounted on the water inlet portion, so that the water diversion element can be freely switched between the bubbling water position and the shower water position by rotation. For example, rotating the water diversion element clockwise switches it from the bubbling water position to the shower water position, while rotating the water diversion element counterclockwise switches it from the shower water position to the bubbling water position. The operation is convenient and the structure is simple and compact.

[0020] 2. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the limiting wall and the water inlet portion form an annular groove, and the rotating portion of the water distribution member is embedded in the annular groove. Therefore, through the cooperation between the rotating portion and the annular groove, on the one hand, the rotation process of the water distribution member in the bubble water position and the shower water position can be guided, thereby improving the rotation feel of the water distribution member. On the other hand, radial limiting can also be formed on the water distribution member and the water inlet member, so that the two form a relatively fixed relationship in the radial direction, ensuring reliable rotational cooperation between the two.

[0021] 3. As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when the limiting rib is engaged in the first stop groove, the water diverter is confined to the bubbling water position; when the limiting rib is engaged in the second stop groove, the water diverter is confined to the shower water position. Therefore, through the cooperation between the first and second stop grooves and the limiting rib, the water diverter has a position-limiting effect in both the bubbling water position and the shower water position. Forceful rotation is required to disengage the limiting rib from the first or second stop groove to achieve position switching, effectively reducing the risk of accidental rotation of the water diverter due to accidental contact. Furthermore, when the limiting rib passes over the first stop groove and engages the first stop groove, and when it passes over the second stop groove and engages the second stop groove, a resistance sensation and a "clicking" sound are generated, which enhances the rotation feel of the water diverter and provides the operator with a clear indication of the rotation position, thus improving the user experience.

[0022] 4. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the rotating part is snap-fitted to the connecting wall or the limiting wall, so that the water inlet and water distribution parts are relatively fixed in the axial direction, effectively preventing the two from spontaneously separating. Moreover, the two are detachably connected by snap-fitting, which facilitates internal cleaning after disassembly, effectively avoiding the generation of sanitary dead corners that are difficult to clean, helping to improve the cleaning effect and reduce bacterial growth.

[0023] 5. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the rotational limiting protrusion cooperates with the limiting groove to guide the process of rotating and switching the water dividing member between the bubble water position and the shower water position. The rotational limiting protrusion abuts against the side walls on both sides of the limiting groove to limit the water dividing member to the bubble water position and the shower water position respectively, so that the bubble water position and the shower water position constitute the two extreme positions within the rotatable range of the water dividing member, thereby improving the feel of the rotation operation and the in-position prompt effect.

[0024] 6. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, when the water dividing member is in the bubbling water position, the sealing body completely isolates the water outlet hole and the shower water hole, ensuring that the water flow is completely diverted by the water dividing member to the bubbling water outlet chamber, avoiding leakage of the shower water outlet chamber during the bubbling water discharge process; when the water dividing member is in the shower water position, the sealing body connects the water outlet hole and the shower water hole through the water hole, and completely isolates the water outlet hole from the bubbling water hole, ensuring that the water flow is completely diverted by the water dividing member to the shower water outlet chamber, avoiding leakage of the bubbling water outlet chamber during the shower water discharge process.

[0025] 7. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the bubble water hole is connected to the gas-liquid mixing chamber. When the water dividing member is located at the bubble water position, the water flow entering the water inlet chamber is diverted to the bubble water hole by the water dividing member, and then enters the gas-liquid mixing chamber through the bubble water hole. The outside atmosphere also enters the gas-liquid mixing chamber through the air inlet channel. The atmosphere and water flow are mixed in the gas-liquid mixing chamber to form bubble water. The bubble water flows into the bubble chamber through the through hole, and then passes through the bubble net to rectify and refine the bubbles, reduce the bubble diameter, and increase the microbubble content.

[0026] 8. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the bubble water hole extends spirally from top to bottom, so that the water flow in the water diversion chamber enters the bubble chamber in a spiral downward flow manner, and the upper surface of the water collecting member is configured as a conical guide surface, and the conical guide surface is provided with protruding spiral ribs, so that the water flow entering the gas-liquid mixing chamber flows spirally downward along the conical guide surface under the guidance of the spiral ribs. The spiral flow of water helps to increase the negative pressure formed in the gas-liquid mixing chamber, enhance the Venturi suction effect, and increase the supply of atmospheric air to the gas-liquid mixing chamber through the air inlet channel. At the same time, the water flow rotates and cuts large bubbles, turning the bubbles into microbubbles with smaller diameters, which can also mix more evenly with the bubbles.

[0059] Throughout this specification, reference to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "examples," "specific examples," or "some examples" means that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in conjunction with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of the present application. Throughout this specification, the schematic representations of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0060] In the embodiments of this application, a faucet micro-bubble dispenser is provided. For ease of explanation and understanding, the following content provided in this application is based on the illustrated product structure. Of course, those skilled in the art will understand that the above structure is merely a specific example and schematic illustration and does not constitute a specific limitation of the technical solution provided in this application.

[0061] like Figures 1 to 18 As shown, the present application provides a faucet micro-bubble water dispenser, including a water inlet member 1 and a water diverter member 2, the water inlet member 1 includes a water inlet portion 11, the water inlet portion 11 is provided with a water inlet cavity 111 and a water outlet hole 112; the water diverter member 2 includes a shell 21, the shell 21 is provided with a water diverter portion 22, the water diverter portion 22 is provided with a water diverter cavity 221 and a bubble water outlet cavity 222 located below the water diverter cavity 221, the shell 21 and the water diverter portion 22 enclose a shower water outlet cavity 23, the water diverter cavity 221 is provided with a water diverter cavity 221 and a bubble water outlet cavity 222 located below the water diverter cavity 221, 2 and the shower water hole 224 connected to the shower water outlet chamber 23; the water diversion chamber 221 is rotatably mounted on the water inlet portion 11, so that the water diversion member 2 can be rotated and switched between the bubble water position and the shower water position; in the bubble water position, the water outlet hole 112 is offset and separated from the shower water hole 224 and connected to the bubble water outlet chamber 222 through the bubble water hole 223; in the shower water position, the water outlet hole 112 is connected to the shower water outlet chamber 23 through the shower water hole 224.

[0062] The faucet micro-bubble water dispenser provided in this application has a water inlet component 1 for guiding the water flow discharged from the faucet into the water diversion component 2. The water flow first enters the water inlet cavity 111, then enters the water diversion part 22 through the water outlet hole 112, and then is diverted by the water diversion part 22. The water inlet component 1 can be a component directly connected to the faucet, or a component indirectly connected to the faucet, for example, Figure 2As shown, the water inlet 1 can be connected to the faucet via a mounting arm 3. Threads are provided at both ends of the mounting arm 3. The threads at one end are connected to the water inlet 1, and the threads at the other end are connected to the faucet. The mounting arm 3 is hollow, and water from the faucet enters the water inlet 1 through the mounting arm 3. To accommodate the threads of the mounting arm 3, a corresponding threaded wall structure 12 can be provided on the water inlet 1. Preferably, the water inlet 11 can be connected to the wall structure 12, and the size of the water inlet 11 is smaller than the wall structure 12. This allows the water inlet 11 to pressurize and discharge water due to the sudden decrease in flow area from the wall structure 12 to the water inlet 11.

[0063] The water dividing member 2 can be rotated and switched between the bubble water position for discharging bubble water and the shower water position for discharging shower water. Figure 3 As shown, the water diversion member 2 is in the shower water position. At this time, the water outlet 112 is connected to the shower water hole 224. The water diversion part 22 diverts water through the shower water hole 224 to the shower water outlet cavity 23, so that the faucet micro-bubble water outlet can discharge shower water. Figure 4 The figure shows the state of the water distribution member 2 in the bubbling water position. At this time, the water outlet hole 112 is connected to the bubbling water hole 223. The water distribution member 22 diverts water through the bubbling water hole 223 to the bubbling water outlet chamber 222, so that the faucet micro-bubble water outlet can discharge bubbling water. Therefore, the faucet micro-bubble water outlet of the present application is compatible with both shower water and bubbling water functions, allowing users to switch the water outlet mode according to their needs. When strong water flushing is required, the faucet micro-bubble water outlet can provide a strong shower water jet, while when water-saving flushing is required, the faucet micro-bubble water outlet can provide dense micro-bubble water. Especially when cleaning items with stubborn oil stains, the impact of the microbubbles bursting when the microbubble water contacts the items being cleaned can have a good flushing effect on the stubborn oil stains on the items being cleaned, which can improve the cleanliness. Moreover, the shower water outlet chamber 23 is arranged around the bubbling water outlet chamber 222. The bubbling water is discharged from the middle of the water distribution member 2, and the bubbling water is discharged from the periphery, with a large shower water outlet surface. The water diversion chamber 221 is rotatably mounted on the water inlet portion 11, so that the water diversion element 2 can be freely switched between the bubbling water position and the shower water position by rotation. For example, the water diversion element 2 can be switched from the bubbling water position to the shower water position by rotating clockwise, while it can be switched from the shower water position to the bubbling water position by rotating counterclockwise. The operation is convenient and the structure is simple and compact.

[0064] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the water inlet member 1 also includes a limiting wall 121 circumferentially surrounding the outside of the water inlet portion 11, and the limiting wall 121 and the water inlet portion 11 form an annular groove 13. The outer shell 21 and the top of the water diversion portion 22 are connected through a rotating portion 24. The top opening of the water diversion cavity 221 is sleeved on the water inlet portion 11 from bottom to top, while the rotating portion 24 is embedded in the annular groove 13. Specifically, in the technical solution in which the water inlet member 1 is provided with a wall structure 12 with a thread, a limiting wall 121 can be formed at the bottom of the wall structure 12, and the limiting wall 121 and the water inlet portion 11 form an annular groove 13. When the water inlet member 1 and the water distribution member 2 are assembled, the rotating portion 24 of the water distribution member 2 needs to be embedded in the annular groove 13. Therefore, through the cooperation between the rotating portion 24 and the annular groove 13, on the one hand, the rotation process of the water distribution member 2 in the bubble water position and the shower water position can be guided, thereby improving the rotation feel of the water distribution member 2. On the other hand, radial limiting can also be formed on the water distribution member 2 and the water inlet member 1, so that the two form a relatively fixed relationship in the radial direction, ensuring reliable rotation cooperation between the two.

[0065] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the rotating portion 24 is provided with a limiting rib 241, and the limiting wall 121 is provided with a first stop rib 1211 and a second stop rib 1212. The first stop rib 1211 encloses a first stop groove 1213, and the second stop rib 1212 encloses a second stop groove 1214. When the limiting rib 241 is stopped in the first stop groove 1213, the water distribution component 2 is limited to the bubble water position; when the limiting rib 241 is stopped in the second stop groove 1214, the water distribution component 2 is limited to the shower water position. The first stop groove 1213 and the second stop groove 1214 cooperate with the limiting rib 241, respectively, to position the water diverter 2 in either the bubble water position or the shower water position. Forced rotation is required to disengage the limiting rib 241 from the first stop groove 1213 or the second stop groove 1214 to achieve position switching, effectively reducing the risk of accidental rotation of the water diverter 2 due to accidental contact. Furthermore, when the limiting rib 241 passes over the first stop groove 1211 and engages the first stop groove 1213, and when it passes over the second stop groove 1212 and engages the second stop groove 1214, a resistance sensation and a "clicking" sound are generated, enhancing the rotation feel of the water diverter 2 and providing the operator with a clear indication of the desired position, improving the user experience. Preferably, a limiting rib 241 can be provided on each of the two opposite sides of the rotating part 24, and a first stop groove 1213 and a second stop groove 1214 can be provided on each of the two opposite sides of the limiting wall 121. When the water diverter 2 is in the bubble water position, the limiting ribs 241 on both sides of the rotating part 24 are respectively stopped in the corresponding first stop groove 1213 to form two opposite side limits; when the water diverter 2 is in the shower water position, the limiting ribs 241 on both sides of the rotating part 24 are respectively stopped in the corresponding second stop groove 1214 to form two opposite side limits, and the position limiting effect is stronger.

[0066] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 16 、 Figure 17 and Figure 18As shown, the water inlet portion 11 is connected to the limiting wall 121 through a connecting wall 113, and the connecting wall 113 is provided with a connecting hole 114. The rotating portion 24 is provided with a plurality of clips 242 evenly distributed along the circumferential direction. The plurality of clips 242 pass through the connecting hole 114 and are clipped onto the upper surface of the connecting wall 113, so that the water inlet member 1 and the water distribution member 2 are relatively fixed in the axial direction. The size of the connecting hole 114 along the rotation direction of the water distribution member 2 is larger than the size of the clip 242, so that the clip 242 switches the clipping position in the connecting hole 114 as the water distribution member 2 rotates. Specifically, the number of connecting holes 114 can correspond to the number of clips 242. During assembly, when the rotating portion 24 of the water distribution member 2 is inserted into the annular groove 13, each clip 242 passes through the corresponding connecting hole 114 and snaps onto the upper surface of the connecting wall 113, so that the water inlet member 1 and the water distribution member 2 are relatively fixed in the axial direction to form a lock. In addition, to ensure the reliability of the locking between the two, a step surface 243 surrounding the rotating portion 24 can be provided on the water distribution member 2. When the clip 242 passes through the connecting hole 114 and snaps into place, the bottom end surface of the limiting wall 121 just abuts against the step surface 243, effectively preventing the water distribution member 2 and the water inlet member 1 from spontaneously separating in the axial direction. Moreover, the water distribution member 2 and the water inlet member 1 are detachably connected by snapping, which facilitates internal cleaning after disassembly, effectively avoids the formation of sanitary dead corners that are difficult to clean, helps improve the cleaning effect, and reduces bacterial growth. Since the engagement of the buckle 242 does not hinder the rotation of the water diversion member 2 relative to the water inlet member 1, the size of the connecting hole 114 along the rotation direction of the water diversion member 2 is larger than the size of the buckle 242, so that when the water diversion member 2 rotates, the connecting hole 114 provides a rotation avoidance space for the buckle 242, and the buckle 242 switches the engaging position in the connecting hole 114 as the water diversion member 2 rotates.

[0067] Different from the above-mentioned solution in which the rotating part 24 is snapped into the connecting hole 114 by the buckle 242, as another preferred embodiment, Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, on the basis of the water inlet portion 11 being connected to the limiting wall 121 through the connecting wall 113, the limiting wall 121 is further provided with a clamping rib 122 located below the connecting wall 113, and the rotating portion 24 is provided with a plurality of clips 242 evenly distributed along the circumferential direction. The plurality of clips 242 are engaged with the clamping rib 122, so that the water inlet member 1 and the water distribution member 2 are relatively fixed in the axial direction. The clamping rib 122 extends along the circumferential direction of the limiting wall 121, so that the clip 242 switches the engaging position on the clamping rib 122 as the water distribution member 2 rotates. In this solution, when the rotating portion 24 is embedded in the annular groove 13, the clip 242 is clipped onto the clip 122 below the connecting wall 113. Since the clip 122 extends circumferentially along the limiting wall 121, all the clips 242 can be clipped onto this clip 122 synchronously, and when the water distribution component 2 rotates, all the clips 242 slide along the circumferential direction of the clip 122 as the water distribution component 2 rotates, thereby switching the clipping position.

[0068] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the water diversion part 22 is provided with a rotation limiting protrusion 225 protruding toward the water diversion chamber 221, and the outer wall of the water inlet part 11 is provided with a limiting groove 115 that cooperates with the rotation limiting protrusion 225. The rotation limiting protrusion 225 abuts against one side wall of the limiting groove 115 to limit the water diversion component 2 to the bubble water position, and the rotation limiting protrusion 225 abuts against the other side wall of the limiting groove 115 to limit the water diversion component 2 to the shower water position. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that, by cooperating with the rotation limiting protrusion 225 and the limiting groove 115, the process of rotating and switching the water dividing member 2 between the bubble water position and the shower water position is guided, and the rotation limiting protrusion 225 respectively abuts against the side walls on both sides of the limiting groove 115 to limit the water dividing member 2 to the bubble water position and the shower water position, respectively, so that the bubble water position and the shower water position constitute the two extreme positions within the rotatable range of the water dividing member 2, thereby improving the feel of the rotation operation and the in-position prompt effect. Figure 9 The figure shows the state where the rotation limiting protrusion 225 abuts against one side wall of the limiting groove 115 to limit the water distribution member 2 to the shower water position. At this time, the water outlet 112 is connected to the shower water hole 224. Figure 10 The figure shows the rotation-limiting protrusion 225 abutting against the other sidewall of the limiting groove 115, confining the water diverter 2 in the bubbling water position. The water outlet 112 and the showerhead water hole 224 are offset and disconnected. Preferably, a rotation-limiting protrusion 225 can be provided on each opposing side of the water diverter 22, and a limiting groove 115 can also be provided on each opposing side of the water inlet 11. When the water diverter chamber 221 is fitted within the water inlet 11, the rotation-limiting protrusions 225 on both sides engage with their corresponding limiting grooves 115, achieving bilateral guidance and improving the assembly reliability and rotation feel of the water diverter 2.

[0069] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the two opposite sides of the side wall of the water inlet portion 11 are each provided with a water outlet 112, and a sealing body 4 is provided between the water inlet portion 11 and the water diversion portion 22. The sealing body 4 is relatively fixed to the water diversion portion 22 and is provided with a water hole 41 facing the shower water hole 224; Figure 4 As shown, at the bubble water position, the water outlet 112 is misaligned with the water hole 41 and the shower hole 224 is isolated by the sealing body 4; Figure 3 As shown, in the shower water position, the water outlet 112 faces the water passage hole 41 and is connected to the shower water hole 224 through the water passage hole 41. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that when the water diverter 2 is in the bubbling water position, the sealing body 4 completely isolates the water outlet 112 from the shower water hole 224, ensuring that the water flow is completely diverted by the water diverter 2 to the bubbling water outlet chamber 222, thereby preventing leakage from the shower water outlet chamber 23 during the bubbling water discharge process. When the water diverter 2 is in the shower water position, the sealing body 4 connects the water outlet 112 to the shower water hole 224 through the water passage hole 41, and completely isolates the water outlet 112 from the bubbling water hole 223, thereby ensuring that the water flow is completely diverted by the water diverter 2 to the shower water outlet chamber 23, thereby preventing leakage from the bubbling water outlet chamber 222 during the shower water discharge process. Specifically, since a water outlet hole 112 is provided on each of the two opposite sides of the side wall of the water inlet 11, a sealing body 4 can be provided between each of the two opposite sides of the side wall of the water inlet 11 and the water diversion portion 22. Preferably, the sealing body 4 can be made of elastic silicone sealing body, which can be squeezed and deformed by interference fit and clamped between the water inlet 11 and the water diversion portion 22 to improve the isolation effect of the water outlet hole 112 from the shower water hole 224 and the bubble water hole 223. In a preferred embodiment, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a limiting rib 226 can be provided in the water diversion portion 22. Along the circumference of the water diversion portion 22, the limiting ribs 226 on both sides are stopped on both sides of the sealing body 4 to ensure that the water diversion portion 22 drives the sealing body 4 to move synchronously when rotating relative to the water inlet portion 11, thereby avoiding relative displacement of the sealing body 4 and the water diversion portion 22 along the circumference and affecting the normal use of the faucet micro-bubble water outlet.

[0070] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, a water collecting member 5 is provided in the bubble water outlet chamber 222, and the water collecting member 5 divides the bubble water outlet chamber 222 into a gas-liquid mixing chamber 2221 located above and a bubbling chamber 2222 located below. The bubble water hole 223 is connected to the gas-liquid mixing chamber 2221, and the water dividing member 2 is provided with an air inlet channel 25 connecting the outside atmosphere and the gas-liquid mixing chamber 2221. The water collecting member 5 is provided with a through hole 51 connecting the gas-liquid mixing chamber 2221 and the bubbling chamber 2222, and a bubbling net 6 is provided on the fluid path in the bubbling chamber 2222. It can be understood by those skilled in the art that, since the bubble water hole 223 is connected to the gas-liquid mixing chamber 2221, when the water dividing component 2 is in the bubble water position, the water flow entering the water inlet chamber 111 is diverted to the bubble water hole 223 by the water dividing component 2, and then enters the gas-liquid mixing chamber 2221 through the bubble water hole 223, and the outside atmosphere also enters the gas-liquid mixing chamber 2221 through the air inlet channel 25. The atmosphere and the water flow are mixed in the gas-liquid mixing chamber 2221 to form bubble water, and the bubble water flows into the bubble chamber 2222 through the through hole 51, and then passes through the bubble net 6 to rectify and refine the bubbles, reduce the bubble diameter, and increase the microbubble content.

[0071] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 7 and Figure 12 As shown, a plurality of bubble water holes 223 are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction on the bottom wall of the water-dividing chamber 221, and at least one bubble water hole 223 spirally extends from top to bottom. Preferably, the air outlet end 251 of the air inlet channel 25 can be located in the center of the water-dividing portion 22, and a plurality of bubble water holes 223 are arranged around the air outlet end 251 of the air inlet channel 25, which helps to evenly and fully mix the air and water entering the gas-liquid mixing chamber 2221. This application schematically illustrates that the larger bubble water holes 223 on the periphery are spiral holes, and the small holes near the air outlet end 251 of the air inlet channel 25 are straight holes. As another preferred embodiment, Figure 11 、 Figure 12 and Figure 13As shown, the through hole 51 is provided in the center of the water collecting member 5 , and the upper surface of the water collecting member 5 is configured as a conical guide surface 52 which gradually extends downward from the edge to the center and whose inner diameter gradually decreases. The conical guide surface 52 is provided with a protruding spiral rib 53 . Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the bubble water hole 223 spirally extends from top to bottom, causing the water flow in the water diversion chamber 221 to flow into the gas-liquid mixing chamber 2221 in a spiral downward manner, and the upper surface of the water collecting member 5 is configured as a conical guide surface 52, and a protruding spiral rib 53 is provided on the conical guide surface 52, so that the water flow entering the gas-liquid mixing chamber 2221 flows spirally downward along the conical guide surface 52 under the guidance of the spiral rib 53. The spiral flow of water helps to increase the negative pressure formed in the gas-liquid mixing chamber 2221, enhance the Venturi suction effect, and increase the supply of atmospheric air to the gas-liquid mixing chamber 2221 through the air inlet channel 25. At the same time, the water flow rotates and cuts large bubbles, turning the bubbles into microbubbles with smaller diameters, which can also mix more evenly with the bubbles.

[0072] In addition, if Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, multiple bubble nets 6 are provided along the fluid path within the bubble chamber 2222, separated by separators 7. The provision of multiple bubble nets 6 ensures that the bubble water entering the bubble chamber 2222 is rectified and refined through the multiple bubble nets 6, minimizing bubble diameter and increasing the microbubble content. Preferably, the separators 7 can be annular in structure and abut against the edges of the bubble nets 6, thus only partially affecting the water permeability of the mesh at the edges of the bubble nets 6. The water flow in the center of the annular structure flows from top to bottom, still ensuring smooth discharge of the microbubble water.

[0073] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the faucet micro-bubble water outlet also includes a water outlet part 8 installed at the bottom of the water diversion part 2, and the water outlet part 8 includes a shower water outlet area 81 covering the bottom opening of the shower water outlet cavity 23 and a bubble water outlet area 82 covering the bottom opening of the bubble water outlet cavity 222. The shower water outlet area 81 is provided with a shower water outlet hole 83 connecting the shower water outlet cavity 23 with the outside atmosphere, and the bubble water outlet area 82 is provided with a bubble water outlet hole 84 connecting the bubble water outlet cavity 222 with the outside atmosphere. Preferably, in order to realize the discharge of shower water, a plurality of shower water outlet holes 83 can be evenly arranged along the circumference of the shower water outlet area 81. In addition, as Figure 14 As shown, the entire middle portion of the bubble water outlet area 82 can be hollowed out to form a larger shower water outlet hole 83, as shown in FIG. Figure 15As shown, a plurality of evenly distributed shower water outlet holes 83 can be provided in the middle of the bubble water outlet area 82 to evenly distribute and discharge the micro bubble water through the plurality of shower water outlet holes 83. In addition, an upwardly extending limit platform 85 can be provided at the edge of the bubble water outlet area 82, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the limiting platform 85 can be used to enter the bubble chamber 2222, and form a stop for the water collecting component 5, the partition 7 and the bubble net 6, so as to confine the water collecting component 5, the partition 7 and the bubble net 6 in the bubble water outlet chamber 222 to prevent them from falling out of the bubble water outlet chamber 222. The water outlet component 8 can be fixed to the bottom of the water distribution component 2 by snapping.
