Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sanitary ware, and in particular to a water flow shaper and water outlet device. Background Technology
[0002] To achieve diverse water flow patterns, existing kitchen faucets and showerheads typically require independent switching mechanisms and multiple water channels within their bodies. This not only complicates the structure but also increases the overall size of the unit. Furthermore, due to water quality, dirt tends to accumulate on the water outlets after prolonged use, making them difficult to clean and maintain. This affects both the water flow performance and the product's lifespan.
[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the inventors have provided a superior solution. Utility Model Content

[0035] The technical solution and beneficial effects of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0036] Example 1
[0037] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a water flow shaper 01 is installed at the water outlet terminal, including a first rectifier plate 1 and a second rectifier plate 2 fixedly connected in opposite directions, and an O-ring seal 3 is provided between the first rectifier plate 1 and the second rectifier plate 2.
[0038] In one embodiment, the first rectifier plate 1 is provided with a blade water outlet 11, which protrudes beyond the first rectifier plate 1. Thus, when the first rectifier plate 1 is used as the water outlet panel, blade water is formed. Multiple support pillars 13 are provided on the inner side of the first rectifier plate 1 opposite to the blade water outlet 11 to prevent damage to the water flow shaper 01 under excessive water pressure. The second rectifier plate 2 is provided with a rectifier mesh 21.
[0039] Of course, the functions of the first rectifier plate 1 and the second rectifier plate 2 can be configured in various ways. For example, the first rectifier plate 1 can be configured for soft water output, while the second rectifier plate 2 can be configured for aerated water output. Figure 5 As shown; or the first rectifier plate 1 can be a large-aperture water outlet, while the second rectifier plate 2 can be a fine-aperture water outlet, such as... Figure 6 As shown, etc.
[0040] In a preferred embodiment, the end face of the first rectifier plate 1 is recessed, forming an annular groove 14 for mounting the O-ring seal 3 after the second rectifier plate is assembled. A slot 12 is provided on the inner side of the first rectifier plate 1, and a retaining ring 22 is formed by the recessed end face of the second rectifier plate. The first rectifier plate 1 and the second rectifier plate 2 are fixedly connected by engaging the retaining ring 22 with the slot 12. The second rectifier plate 2 extends through the retaining ring 22 to form evenly distributed air intake holes 23. Thus, using the second rectifier plate 2 as the water outlet panel, bubble water can be generated.
[0041] In a preferred embodiment, the first rectifier plate 1 and the second rectifier plate 2 are respectively provided with a flip handle 41 and 42 protruding outward in the axial direction to facilitate the flipping of the water flow shaper and adjustment of its positioning. In the above-mentioned blade water example, the blade water outlet 11 also functions as the flip handle 41.
[0042] Example 2
[0043] A water outlet device, such as Figures 7 to 10 As shown, this is a dual-function aerator, including a water outlet 5 and a water flow shaper 01, which is rotatably embedded in the end of the water outlet 5. The water flow shaper 01 includes a first rectifier plate 1 and a second rectifier plate 2 fixedly connected to each other, with an O-ring 3 between them. In this embodiment, the first rectifier plate 1 is for large-aperture water outlet, while the second rectifier plate 2 is for fine-aperture water outlet. By flipping the water flow shaper 01, easy switching between the two water outlet modes (large-aperture and fine-aperture) can be achieved.
[0044] Specifically, the water outlet 5 includes a filter element 51, a water passage body 52, and a housing 53. The filter element 51 is disposed on the water passage body 52, and the water passage body 52 is snapped and fixed to the housing 53.
[0045] A water-saving plate is installed at the inlet of the water passage 52. The water-saving plate includes an O-ring 521 and a throttling channel 522 integrally formed with the water passage 52. The O-ring 521 is fixed on the throttling channel 522. The throttling channels 522 are evenly distributed in a circular shape at the inlet of the water passage 52, and each throttling channel 522 is provided with a raised arc-shaped rib 523. A protruding post 524 for installing the O-ring 521 is provided at the center of the throttling channel 522.
[0046] The outlet end of the outer casing 53 forms an inwardly extending elastic arc-shaped inner wall 531. The free end of this arc-shaped inner wall 531 forms evenly distributed notches 530. The side of the water flow shaper 01 forms an arc that mates with the arc-shaped inner wall 531, and is interference-fitted with the arc-shaped inner wall 531. During assembly, the water flow shaper 01 should preferably be inserted from the top of the outer casing 53. Utilizing the elasticity generated by the notches 530, the water flow shaper 01 can be smoothly inserted into the arc-shaped inner wall 531. Then, the water passage body 52 and the filter element 51 are inserted in sequence. The arc-shaped inner wall 531 limits the water flow shaper 01 to a stable state.
[0047] The above solution is advantageous because the water flow shaper 01 has a first rectifier plate 1 and a second rectifier plate 2, which can be switched by flipping, resulting in a simple structure and convenient operation; furthermore, as Figure 11 As shown, in the flipped state, the water flow shaper 01 can be easily cleaned and maintained by taking advantage of the different apertures of the first rectifier plate 1 and the second rectifier plate 2.
[0048] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept of this utility model and should not be used to limit the protection scope of this utility model. Any improvements or equivalent substitutions made based on the technical concept proposed by this utility model shall fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
