Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water discharge products, specifically to a water discharge device. Background Technology
[0002] Some existing showerheads have button switching functions but cannot adjust the water flow. Some have flow adjustment but lack button switching. Some combine both, but this makes operation inconvenient or prone to misoperation; if switching is needed, incorrect operation may result in adjusting the water flow instead. Utility Model Content

[0018] As can be seen from the above description of the present invention and its preferred embodiments, compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention and its preferred embodiments have the following beneficial effects due to the adoption of the following technical means:
[0019] 1. In Scheme 1 and its preferred embodiments, a water outlet device includes a main body, a flow regulating member, and a switching member. The main body is provided with a water inlet, a flow regulating hole, and at least one water outlet chamber. The switching member is provided with at least one water distribution hole. Since the water inlet is connected to the inlet end of the flow regulating hole, and the water distribution hole is connected to the flow regulating hole and each water outlet chamber, the water flow rate of the water outlet chamber can be changed by adjusting the flow rate of the flow regulating hole. The flow regulating member is provided with a blocking part. The flow regulating member moves relative to the main body to change the flow area of the flow regulating hole, thereby achieving the effect of flow rate regulation. The switching member moves relative to the main body to connect the water distribution hole to the flow regulating hole and the water outlet chamber, thereby achieving the effect of switching each water outlet chamber or closing the water outlet chamber, realizing the switching function. Since the switching member and the flow regulating member are independent of each other and can be operated independently, they will not affect each other, preventing the risk of misoperation.
[0020] 2. In Scheme 2 and its preferred embodiments, the water distribution hole is adapted to switch to connect at least one of the first diversion hole, the second diversion hole and the third diversion hole to achieve corresponding water output.
[0021] 3. In Scheme 3 and its preferred embodiments, the first, second, and third diversion holes are mutually sealed and isolated. The diversion hole is suitable for switching between connecting the first, second, or third diversion holes to avoid cross-flow between the water outlet chambers, which would affect usage. Furthermore, multiple water outlet chambers can provide more water output, increasing functionality. Having multiple diversion holes (first, second, and third) increases the water output. Each diversion hole, first, second, and third diversion hole is spaced apart around the first axis, and they are arranged in groups around the first axis, making them closer together. A small rotation of the switching component is sufficient to switch the water flow.
[0022] 4. In Scheme 4 and its preferred embodiments, the first water outlet chamber is provided with a first water outlet hole, the second water outlet chamber is provided with a plurality of second water outlet holes, and the third water outlet chamber is provided with a plurality of third water outlet holes. The second water outlet holes and the first water outlet holes surround the third water outlet holes. At least some of the second water outlet holes and at least some of the first water outlet holes are radially arranged, which can make both types of water sprays into large-area water sprays, rather than the conventional two types of water sprays being made into inner and outer ring areas of water spray, which can better meet the user's needs for large-area water sprays.
[0023] 5. In Scheme 5 and its preferred embodiments, the switching member is rotatably connected to the body around the first axis and is provided with a plurality of pushing teeth; the pushing member is adapted to slide along the direction close to the pushing teeth so as to push the switching member to rotate, thereby realizing the switching; the pushing teeth push the pushing member during rotation, causing the pushing member to deflect in the direction away from the first axis, thereby enabling the pushing member to push the switching member to rotate at a larger angle; the body is provided with a reset inclined surface, the pushing member is adapted to slide along the direction away from the pushing teeth and abut against the reset inclined surface, so as to deflect the pushing member along the direction close to the first axis during sliding, so as to adapt the pushing member to correspond to the next pushing tooth, thereby facilitating the next operation.
[0024] 6. In Scheme 6 and its preferred embodiments, the anti-rotation rod is installed on the body, the switching member is adapted to rotate relative to the body in the first circumferential direction, the anti-rotation rod is adapted to deform when the switching member rotates in the first circumferential direction to pass over the tooth tip of the push tooth so as not to affect the rotation of the switching member, and is adapted to return to be located at the tooth root of the push tooth to block the switching member from rotating in the opposite direction of the first circumferential direction, thereby preventing the switching from not being in place when the adjustment is in place due to the switching member reversing.
[0025] 7. In Scheme 7 and its preferred embodiments, the main body is provided with a first rack, the pusher is provided with a second rack, the gear is rotatably connected to the sliding member and meshes with the first rack and the second rack, so that it rotates when the sliding member slides and drives the pusher to slide. The sliding member drives the gear to move, and the gear rotates because it cooperates with the first rack, thereby driving the pusher to move. Since the meshing transmission can achieve transmission within a certain accuracy, it will not affect the offset of the switching member. The sliding member only needs to ensure sliding, and the sliding member also extends the force application area to a certain extent, so that the user can apply force in a more convenient position.
[0026] 8. In Scheme 8 and its preferred embodiments, the two ends of the elastic element act on the sliding element and the body respectively, and apply a force to the sliding element to make the pushing element move away from the switching element, so that when the sliding element is released, the sliding element, gear and switching element are automatically reset, which is more convenient.
[0027] 9. In Scheme Nine and its preferred embodiments, both the button and the top shaft are rotatably connected to the main body. The button is adapted to drive the top shaft to rotate, thereby applying a force to the sliding member that brings the pushing member closer to the switching member. This method allows the user to apply force from a more convenient position. In a shower head, since there is usually an angle difference between the handle and the panel, this angle difference can be overcome by the top shaft, allowing the button to be located at the handle.
[0028] 10. In Scheme 10 and its preferred embodiments, the flow regulating component is rotatably connected to the main body, which occupies little space and is convenient and simple. Attached Figure Description

[0050] In the claims, description and accompanying drawings of this utility model, the terms "comprising", "having", and variations thereof are used to mean "including but not limited to".
[0051] refer to Figures 1-14 A water outlet device includes a body 1, a flow regulating component 2, a switching component 3, a pushing component 4, an anti-rotation rod 5, a sliding component 6, a gear 7, an elastic component 8, a button 9, and a top shaft 10.
[0052] The main body 1 has a water passage cavity, a mounting cavity, and an assembly hole. The water passage cavity is for water passage and has a water inlet 11, a flow regulating hole 12, and at least one water outlet cavity 13. The mounting cavity is sealed and isolated from the water passage cavity to prevent water from entering the mounting cavity, and the mounting cavity has a button hole. One end of the assembly hole opens to the surface of the main body 1, and the other end communicates with the flow regulating hole 12. Due to the difficulty in manufacturing the water passage cavity and the mounting cavity, the main body 1 can be assembled from multiple parts to form the water passage cavity and the mounting cavity.
[0053] refer to Figures 3-6 In this embodiment, the water outlet chamber 13 has three parts, including a first water outlet chamber 131, a second water outlet chamber 132, and a third water outlet chamber 133. (Refer to...) Figure 3 The first water outlet chamber 131 is provided with a first diversion hole 1311, serving as the water inlet of the first water outlet chamber 131. The second water outlet chamber 132 is provided with a second diversion hole 1321, serving as the water inlet of the second water outlet chamber 132. The third water outlet chamber 133 is provided with a third diversion hole 1331, serving as the water inlet of the third water outlet chamber 133. The first diversion hole 1311, the second diversion hole 1321, and the third diversion hole 1331 are mutually sealed and isolated, such as by a sealing ring. There are at least two of each of the first diversion hole 1311, the second diversion hole 1321, and the third diversion hole 1331; in this embodiment, there are four. Each first diversion hole 1311 is spaced apart around the first axis, each second diversion hole 1321 is spaced apart around the first axis, and each third diversion hole 1331 is spaced apart around the first axis. The first diversion holes 1311, second diversion holes 1321, and third diversion holes 1331 are arranged in groups around the first axis, that is, they are arranged in a cycle with the first diversion holes 1311, second diversion holes 1321, and third diversion holes 1331 forming a group. The first axis is the rotation axis of the switching component 3.
[0054] refer to Figure 6 The first water outlet chamber 131 is provided with a plurality of first water outlet holes 1312, the second water outlet chamber 132 is provided with a plurality of second water outlet holes 1322, and the third water outlet chamber 133 is provided with a plurality of third water outlet holes 1332. The second water outlet holes 1322 and the first water outlet holes 1312 surround the third water outlet hole 1332, that is, the third water outlet hole 1332 is located in the center, while the second water outlet holes 1322 and the first water outlet holes 1312 surround the third water outlet hole 1332. Furthermore, at least some of the second water outlet holes 1322 and at least some of the first water outlet holes 1312 are radially arranged, so that the second water outlet chamber 132 and the first water outlet chamber 131 both have a certain water outlet range from the inside to the outside.
[0055] refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 The inlet hole 11 is connected to the inlet end of the flow regulating hole 12, and the outlet end of the flow regulating hole 12 is connected to the outlet chamber 13 through the water distribution hole 31 of the switching component 3. The body 1 is also provided with a first rack 14, which extends along the sliding direction of the sliding component 6. The mounting cavity of the body 1 is also provided with a reset inclined surface 15.
[0056] refer to Figure 11 The switching component 3 is partially located in the water channel section and partially located in the mounting cavity. The switching component 3 located in the water channel section is provided with at least one water diversion hole 31. The water diversion hole 31 connects the flow regulating hole 12 and each water outlet cavity 13. The switching component 3 moves relative to the body 1 so that the water diversion hole 31 connects the flow regulating hole 12 and the water outlet cavity 13. In this embodiment, there are four water diversion holes 31, and each water diversion hole 31 is arranged at intervals around the first axis. The water diversion holes 31 are adapted to switch between connecting the first diversion hole 1311, the second diversion hole 1321, or the third diversion hole 1331. Specifically, the switching component 3 is rotatably connected to the main body 1 around the first axis, so that each water distribution hole 31 is connected to each first diversion hole 1311, or each water distribution hole 31 is connected to each second diversion hole 1321, or each water distribution hole 31 is connected to each third diversion hole 1331; in other embodiments, each water distribution hole 31 may simultaneously connect to at least two of the first diversion holes 1311, the second diversion holes 1321, and the third diversion holes 1331 to achieve multi-channel water output. (Reference) Figure 7 , Figure 9 The switching component 3 is also provided with a portion located in the mounting cavity having a plurality of pushing teeth 32, each pushing tooth 32 being connected in sequence, and each pushing tooth 32 extending in the same direction.
[0057] In this embodiment, the switching member 3 is driven to rotate by the sequential transmission of button 9, top shaft 10, slider 6, gear 7, and pusher 4. In other embodiments, only the switching member 3 or a portion of the aforementioned transmission components may be provided. Specifically, button 9 and top shaft 10 are rotatably connected to the body 1, and their rotation axes are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the first axis. Button 9 is adapted to rotate the top shaft 10 by abutting against it. When the top shaft 10 rotates, it pushes against the slider 6, causing the slider 6 to slide. Button 9 is installed at the button hole and at least partially protrudes from the button hole for operation. Both the top shaft 10 and the slider 6 are located within the mounting cavity.
[0058] refer to Figure 7 The pusher 4 is located within the mounting cavity and is provided with a second rack 41. The pusher 4 is adapted to slide relative to the body 1. The pusher 4 is adapted to slide in a direction close to the pusher tooth 32 so as to push the pusher tooth 32 to rotate the switching member 3. During the rotation, the pusher tooth 32 also pushes the pusher 4, causing the pusher 4 to deflect in a direction away from the first axis. The pusher 4 is adapted to slide in a direction away from the pusher tooth 32 and abut against the reset inclined surface 15 so as to deflect the pusher 4 in a direction close to the first axis during the sliding process, so that the pusher 4 is adapted to correspond to the next pusher tooth 32. In this embodiment, the second rack 41 is provided with an elastic arm 42 for abutting against the reset inclined surface 15.
[0059] refer to Figure 8 The elastic element 8 is located in the mounting cavity. The two ends of the elastic element 8 act on the sliding element 6 and the body 1 respectively, and apply a force to the sliding element 6 to make the pushing element 4 move away from the switching element 3.
[0060] refer to Figure 7 Gear 7 is located within the mounting cavity and is rotatably connected to the sliding member 6. Gear 7 also meshes with the first rack 14. When the sliding member 6 slides, it drives gear 7 to move in the corresponding direction. Since gear 7 also meshes with the first rack 14, gear 7 rotates synchronously while moving. Gear 7 also meshes with the second rack 41, so that the rotation of gear 7 drives the pusher 4 to slide.
[0061] refer to Figure 7 The anti-rotation rod 5 is installed in the mounting cavity of the body 1. The switching member 3 is adapted to rotate relative to the body 1 in the first circumferential direction. The anti-rotation rod 5 is adapted to deform due to the inclined surface action of the pushing tooth 32 when the switching member 3 rotates in the first circumferential direction, so as to pass over the tooth tip of the pushing tooth 32, and is adapted to return to the position at the tooth bottom of the next pushing tooth 32 when the next pushing tooth 32 is used, thereby preventing the switching member 3 from rotating in the opposite direction of the first circumferential direction.
[0062] refer to Figure 12-14The flow regulating component 2 is provided with a blocking part 21, which moves relative to the main body 1 to change the water flow area of the inlet or outlet end of the flow regulating hole 12, thereby changing the water flow rate of the first outlet chamber 131, the second outlet chamber 132, or the third outlet chamber 133. In this embodiment, the flow regulating component 2 is rotatably connected to the main body 1. Specifically, the flow regulating component 2 is installed at the assembly hole, and the blocking part 21 extends into the flow regulating hole, while the operating end of the flow regulating component 2 protrudes from the assembly hole. When the user applies force, the operating part of the flow regulating component 2 rotates, thereby rotating the blocking part 21 to achieve the flow regulating function.
[0063] In use, button 9 is adapted to drive the top shaft 10 to rotate, thereby applying a force to the slider 6 to bring the pusher 4 closer to the switch 3. For details, refer to... Figure 9 , Figure 10 Press button 9, and button 9 rotates clockwise. Button 9 pushes against top shaft 10, and top shaft 10 rotates counterclockwise, pushing slider 6 to the left (i.e., along the direction close to push tooth 32). At this time, elastic element 8 compresses and stores energy, and gear 7 on slider 6 rotates clockwise, driving pusher 4 to move to the left. Pusher 4 pushes push tooth 32, causing switching element 3 to rotate clockwise. During the rotation of switching element 3, the tooth surface of push tooth 32 pushes pusher 4, causing it to deviate in a direction away from the first axis. During this process, push tooth 32, which is in contact with anti-rotation rod 5, deforms due to the inclined surface of push tooth 32, thereby achieving displacement. In this embodiment, switching one push tooth 32 corresponds to switching one state. Therefore, when the pusher 4 no longer acts on the push tooth 32, it means that the switching is complete. At this time, the water diversion hole 31 is connected to the first diversion hole 1311, the second diversion hole 1321, or the third diversion hole 1331. Water is discharged from the corresponding first water outlet hole 1312, the second water outlet hole 1322, or the third water outlet hole 1332. The anti-rotation rod 5 is restored and located at the bottom of the tooth of the next push tooth 32 when the next push tooth 32 is used.
[0064] refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 When button 9 is released, the elastic element 8 releases energy, causing the slider 6 to slide back to the right, and resetting the push rod and button 9. At the same time, gear 7 drives the pusher 4 to reset. The pusher 4 slides away from the pusher tooth 32 and abuts against the reset slope 15, so that the pusher 4 is offset in a direction closer to the first axis during the sliding process, so that the pusher 4 is adapted to correspond to the next pusher tooth 32, thereby facilitating the next operation.
[0065] refer to Figure 13 , Figure 14When it is necessary to control the water flow rate, the flow regulating component 2 is rotated, which changes the area of the blocking part 21 that covers the flow regulating hole 12, thereby changing the water passage area of the flow regulating hole 12. Since the water outlet end of the flow regulating hole 12 is connected to the water distribution hole 31, it affects the flow rate of the water distribution hole 31, and ultimately causes the flow rate of the first water outlet chamber 131, the second water outlet chamber 132, or the third water outlet chamber 133 to change. In this embodiment, the flow regulating component 2 can completely shut off the water flow.
[0066] Compared with the prior art, this embodiment has the following beneficial effects:
[0067] In one exemplary embodiment, a water outlet device includes a body 1, a flow regulating member 2, and a switching member 3. The body 1 has an inlet hole 11, a flow regulating hole 12, and at least one outlet chamber 13. The switching member 3 has at least one water distribution hole 31. Since the inlet hole 11 is connected to the inlet end of the flow regulating hole 12, and the water distribution hole 31 connects the flow regulating hole 12 and each outlet chamber 13, the flow rate of the outlet chamber 13 can be changed by adjusting the flow rate of the flow regulating hole 12. The flow regulating member 2 has a blocking part 21; by moving relative to the body 1, the blocking part 21 changes the flow area of the flow regulating hole 12, thus regulating the flow rate. The switching member 3 moves relative to the body 1 so that the water distribution hole 31 connects the flow regulating hole 12 and the outlet chamber 13, allowing the switching member 3 to switch between or close the outlet chambers 13, thus achieving a switching function. Since the switching member 3 and the flow regulating member 2 are independent and can operate independently, they will not interfere with each other, preventing the risk of misoperation.
[0068] In one exemplary embodiment,
[0069] In one exemplary embodiment, the first diversion hole 1311, the second diversion hole 1321, and the third diversion hole 1331 are mutually sealed and isolated. The water distribution hole 31 is adapted to switch between connecting the first diversion hole 1311, the second diversion hole 1321, or the third diversion hole 1331 to avoid crossflow between the water outlet chambers 13, which would affect the use. Furthermore, multiple water outlet chambers 13 can provide more water output and increase functionality. There are multiple water distribution holes 31, first diversion holes 1311, second diversion holes 1321 and third diversion holes 1331, which can increase the water output. Each water distribution hole 31, each first diversion hole 1311, each second diversion hole 1321 and each third diversion hole 1331 is arranged at intervals around the first axis, and the first diversion holes 1311, the second diversion holes 1321 and the third diversion holes 1331 are arranged in groups around the first axis, so that the first diversion holes 1311, the second diversion holes 1321 and the third diversion holes 1331 are closer together. The function of switching water can be realized by rotating the switching component 3 by a small angle.
[0070] In one exemplary embodiment, the first water outlet chamber 131 is provided with a first water outlet hole 1312, the second water outlet chamber 132 is provided with a plurality of second water outlet holes 1322, and the third water outlet chamber 133 is provided with a plurality of third water outlet holes 1332. The second water outlet holes 1322 and the first water outlet holes 1312 surround the third water outlet holes 1332. At least some of the second water outlet holes 1322 and at least some of the first water outlet holes 1312 are radially arranged, which can make both types of water sprays form a large area of water spray, rather than the conventional two types of water spray forming two concentric rings of water spray, which can better meet the user's need for a large area of water spray.
[0071] In one exemplary embodiment, the switching member 3 is rotatably connected to the body 1 about a first axis and is provided with a plurality of pushing teeth 32; the pushing member 4 is adapted to slide along the direction close to the pushing teeth 32 so as to push the pushing teeth 32 to make the switching member 3 rotate, thereby realizing the switching; the pushing teeth 32 push the pushing member 4 during the rotation, causing the pushing member 4 to deviate in the direction away from the first axis, so that the pushing member 4 can push the switching member 3 to rotate a larger angle; the body 1 is provided with a reset inclined surface 15, the pushing member 4 is adapted to slide along the direction away from the pushing teeth 32 and abut against the reset inclined surface 15 so as to deviate the pushing member 4 along the direction close to the first axis during the sliding process, so that the pushing member 4 is adapted to correspond to the next pushing tooth 32, thereby facilitating the next operation.
[0072] In one exemplary embodiment, the anti-rotation rod 5 is installed on the body 1, and the switching member 3 is adapted to rotate relative to the body 1 in a first circumferential direction. The anti-rotation rod 5 is adapted to deform when the switching member 3 rotates in the first circumferential direction to pass over the tooth tip of the push tooth 32, so as not to affect the rotation of the switching member 3, and is adapted to return to be located at the tooth bottom of the push tooth 32 to block the switching member 3 from rotating in the opposite direction of the first circumferential direction, thereby preventing the switching from not being in place when the adjustment is in place due to the reverse rotation of the switching member 3.
[0073] In one exemplary embodiment, the body 1 is provided with a first rack 14, the pusher 4 is provided with a second rack 41, the gear 7 is rotatably connected to the slider 6 and meshes with the first rack 14 and the second rack 41, so that when the slider 6 slides, it rotates and drives the pusher 4 to slide. The slider 6 drives the gear 7 to move, and the gear 7 rotates because it cooperates with the first rack 14, thereby driving the pusher 4 to move. Since the meshing transmission can achieve transmission within a certain accuracy, it will not affect the offset of the switching member 3. The slider 6 only needs to ensure sliding, and the slider 6 also extends the force application area to a certain extent, so that the user can apply force in a more convenient position.
[0074] In one exemplary embodiment, the two ends of the elastic member 8 act on the sliding member 6 and the body 1 respectively, and apply a force to the sliding member 6 to move the pushing member 4 away from the switching member 3, so that when the sliding member 6 is released, the sliding member 6, the gear 7 and the switching member 3 are automatically reset, which is more convenient.
[0075] In one exemplary embodiment, both button 9 and top shaft 10 are rotatably connected to body 1. Button 9 is adapted to drive top shaft 10 to rotate to apply a force to slider 6 that brings pusher 4 closer to switch 3. This allows the user to apply force from a more convenient position. In showerheads, since there is usually an angle difference between the handle and the panel, the top shaft 10 can overcome this angle difference, allowing button 9 to be located at the handle.
[0076] In one exemplary embodiment, the flow regulating component 2 is rotatably connected to the main body 1, which occupies little space and is convenient and simple.
[0077] The foregoing description of the specifications and embodiments is intended to explain the scope of protection of this utility model, but does not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. Modifications, equivalent substitutions, or other improvements to the embodiments of this utility model or a portion thereof that can be obtained by those skilled in the art through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation, based on the teachings of this utility model or the foregoing embodiments, should all be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
