Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of personal care technology, and more specifically, to a portable bidet that prevents hose blockage. Background Technology
[0002] Current portable bidets typically consist of a main unit, a water bottle, and a nozzle. The main unit contains a built-in mini water pump that draws liquid from the water bottle into the nozzle, creating a powerful water jet at the spray nozzle's nozzle opening. The inlet of the mini water pump is usually connected to the liquid bottle, and the outlet of the mini water pump is connected to the nozzle via flexible hoses. However, over time, it has been found that the bends in these hoses are prone to kinking, causing blockages and preventing water from being pumped out. This results in a shorter lifespan for the bidet and negatively impacts the user experience. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model discloses a portable bidet that prevents hose blockage, aiming to improve the problem that existing bidets are prone to hose kinking, resulting in a short service life.
[0004] The present invention adopts the following solution:
[0005] A portable bidet designed to prevent hose clogging includes a housing, a base, a nozzle, and a reservoir. The base is disposed at the bottom of the housing, and the reservoir is adapted to and connected to the base. The housing houses a miniature water pump and a control unit. The inlet of the miniature water pump is connected to the base, and the outlet of the miniature water pump is connected to the nozzle. The control unit is electrically connected to the miniature water pump. Pressing a button on the housing triggers the control unit to operate the miniature water pump. The inlet and / or outlet of the miniature water pump are equipped with a hose, and a spring is fitted inside or outside the bend of the hose, with the length of the spring not less than the length of the hose bend.
[0006] As a further improvement, the inlet and outlet of the micro water pump are both located at the end away from the base, and the hose configured on the inlet is bent into a U-shape and is equipped with a spring.
[0007] As a further improvement, the inlet and outlet of the micro water pump are both located at the end away from the nozzle, and the hose configured on the outlet is bent into a U-shape and is equipped with a spring.
[0008] As a further improvement, the spring pitch is no greater than one-third of the hose's outer diameter.
[0009] As a further improvement, the housing has a built-in bracket, and the control component and the micro water pump are both fixed on the bracket. The outer periphery of the bracket is provided with an assembly groove, and the inner wall of the housing is provided with a rib for fitting the assembly groove, so that the bracket is positioned circumferentially.
[0010] As a further improvement, both the inlet and outlet are located on the top of the micro water pump. A water passage for connecting the storage bottle is formed on the bracket. The outlet of the water passage is connected to the inlet via a first hose, and the outlet is connected to the nozzle via a second hose.
[0011] As a further improvement, the nozzle is provided with a water outlet cavity that communicates with the second hose, and the nozzle holes on the nozzle are evenly distributed in a circular pattern.
[0012] As a further improvement, the base is provided with an air inlet valve, which is connected to a gas flow channel to input gas into the liquid storage bottle.
[0013] As a further improvement, the bracket is fixedly connected to the base and cooperates to form the gas flow channel.
[0014] As a further improvement, the base is provided with a threaded portion, which is detachably connected to the liquid storage bottle.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention can achieve the following technical effects:
[0016] 1. This application incorporates a spring inside or outside the bend of the flexible hose, ensuring the bend is supported by the spring's elasticity and preventing blockage, thus extending the lifespan of the bidet. Furthermore, the spring can be fitted to the shape of the hose, facilitating installation.
[0017] 2. A spring, made of stainless steel, is fitted around the outer circumference of the hose to avoid any impact on the sprayed liquid. Preferably, the spring's length is the same as the hose's length to prevent bends or blockages at any point in the hose. The spring's inner diameter is 2-5mm larger than the hose's outer diameter; this facilitates the spring's insertion into the hose and prevents slippage due to an excessively large inner diameter. Furthermore, the spring's pitch is no greater than one-third of the hose's outer diameter to ensure the spring effectively supports the hose.
[0018] 3. During installation, first fix the control components and miniature water pump to the bracket, then align the mounting slots on the bracket with the protruding ribs on the outer casing and insert them along the axial direction of the outer casing to limit the bracket's movement circumferentially. This facilitates installation, avoids significant errors caused by sequential installation of individual components, ensures the alignment of the buttons and control components, and guarantees the sensitivity and tactile feel of the buttons.

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely represents selected embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Example
[0032] Combination Figures 1 to 7 This embodiment provides a portable bidet to prevent hose clogging, including a shell 1, a base 53, a nozzle 2, and a liquid storage bottle (not shown). The base 53 is disposed at the bottom of the shell 1, and the liquid storage bottle is adapted to the base 53. The shell 1 has a built-in micro water pump 3 and a control component 4. The inlet 31 of the micro water pump 3 is used to communicate with the base 53, and the outlet 32 of the micro water pump 3 is used to communicate with the nozzle 2. The control component 4 is electrically connected to the micro water pump 3. The control component 4 is triggered to drive the micro water pump 3 to operate by pressing the button 11 on the shell 1. The inlet 31 and / or outlet 32 of the micro water pump 3 are provided with a hose, and a spring is sleeved inside or outside the bend of the hose, and the length of the spring is not less than the length of the bend of the hose.
[0033] For example, button 11 is configured to be molded with the outer shell 1 through a secondary overmolding process. In use, the user can turn the micro water pump 3 on and off and switch the gear by pressing button 11. When the micro water pump 3 is turned on, liquid enters the inlet 31 of the micro water pump 3 from the storage bottle through the hose, and then flows from its outlet 32 to the nozzle 2 under the action of the micro water pump 3, and finally sprays out from the nozzle hole 21 of the nozzle 2.
[0034] It should be noted that in this embodiment, a spring is fitted inside or outside the bend of the hose to support the bend, thus preventing it from becoming stuck and causing blockage, thereby ensuring the lifespan of the bidet. Furthermore, the spring can be fitted to conform to the shape of the hose, making installation convenient.
[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the inlet 31 and outlet 32 of the micro water pump 3 are both located at the end away from the base 53. The hose at the inlet 31 is U-shaped and has a spring. In another embodiment, the inlet 31 and outlet 32 of the micro water pump 3 are both located at the end away from the nozzle 2. The hose at the outlet 32 is U-shaped and has a spring. It should be noted that when the spring is located on the outer periphery of the hose, its inner diameter is larger than the outer diameter of the hose; when the spring is located inside the hose, its outer diameter is smaller than the inner diameter of the hose. For example, the spring is fitted around the outer periphery of the hose and is made of stainless steel to avoid the spring material affecting the sprayed liquid. Preferably, the length of the spring is the same as the length of the hose so that the spring is limited at both ends of the hose, preventing bending and blockage at any point on the hose. The inner diameter of the spring is 2-5 mm larger than the outer diameter of the hose. This facilitates the spring fitting into the hose and prevents the spring from slipping due to an excessively large inner diameter. Furthermore, the spring pitch is no more than one-third of the hose's outer diameter to ensure that the spring can support the hose.
[0036] Based on the above embodiments, in an optional embodiment of this utility model, the outer shell 1 has a built-in bracket 5, and the control component 4 and the micro water pump 3 are both fixed on the bracket 5. The outer periphery of the bracket 5 is provided with an assembly groove 51, and the inner wall of the outer shell 1 is provided with a protruding rib 12 for fitting the assembly groove 51, so that the bracket 5 is positioned circumferentially. The control component 4 and the micro water pump 3 can be fixed to the bracket 5 with screws. During installation, the control component 4 and the micro water pump 3 are first fixed to the bracket 5, and then the assembly groove 51 on the bracket 5 is aligned with the protruding rib 12 on the outer shell 1 and inserted along the axial direction of the outer shell 1, so that the bracket 5 is circumferentially limited. This facilitates installation, avoids large errors caused by sequential installation of various components, ensures that the button 11 and the control component 4 are aligned, and ensures the sensitivity and pressing feel of the button 11. It should be noted that the control component 4 is a circuit board, and the circuit structure and circuit principle between the circuit board and the micro water pump 3 are existing technologies and will not be described further here.
[0037] In another embodiment, both the inlet 31 and the outlet 32 are located on the top of the micro water pump 3. A water passage 52 for connecting to the storage bottle is formed on the bracket 5. The outlet of the water passage 52 is connected to the inlet 31 via a first hose 6, and the outlet 32 is connected to the nozzle 2 via a second hose 7. For example, the water passage 52 is arranged vertically, and the first hose 6 is U-shaped to connect the water passage 52 and the inlet 31. The first hose 6 is fitted with a first spring 61, and the second hose 7 is fitted with a second spring 71 to ensure that the inlet and outlet pipes do not become kinked or blocked.
[0038] Preferably, the nozzle 2 is provided with a water outlet cavity 22 that communicates with the second hose 7, and the nozzle holes 21 on the nozzle 2 are evenly distributed in a circular pattern so that the liquid can be sprayed out evenly.
[0039] In other embodiments, the base 53 is disposed at the bottom of the bracket 5, and the base 53 and the bracket 5 cooperate to form a gas flow channel 531, which is used to communicate with the outside. The base 53 and the bracket 5 can be fixed by welding, and the base 53 and the inner wall of the outer casing 1 can be connected by a snap-fit, but are not limited thereto.
[0040] Based on the above embodiments, in an optional embodiment of this utility model, an air inlet valve 13 is provided at the bottom of the outer casing 1. The air inlet valve 13 is connected to the gas flow channel 531 to introduce gas into the liquid storage bottle, so as to avoid a vacuum phenomenon in the liquid storage bottle, which would prevent the liquid from being extracted. The air inlet valve 13 is a one-way valve, preferably a duckbill valve. Further, the base 53 is provided with a threaded part 532, which is detachably connected to the liquid storage bottle. For example, the base 53 is provided with an internal thread, and the bottle mouth of the liquid storage bottle is provided with an external thread.
[0041] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions that fall within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected by this utility model.
