[0003] The nozzle design in water gun determines the form and intensity of water flow. There are many types of nozzles (such as fan-shaped, needle-shaped, columnar and rotating nozzle) on the market, which are suitable for different cleaning and irrigation needs. Due to the limitations of municipal water supply pressure, the design of household water gun is difficult to balance the range and water pressure. Fan-shaped water type, water spray is dispersed, the cleaning range is larger, but the diffusion of water flow leads to the decline of water pressure. If stubborn stains are dealt with, the cleaning ability is insufficient. Needle-shaped and columnar water type can maintain the maximum water pressure, but due to the small contact area of cleaning water flow and the working surface, the efficiency is low when cleaning large working surface.

At the same time, because the movable parts are introduced, the structure is relatively complex, and the environmental adaptability is poor. If the water source is impure, there is a risk of rotation component jamming. INVENTION CONTENTS

[0030] The foregoing and other technical contents, features and effects of the present application will be clearly presented in the following detailed description of the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. Through the description of the specific embodiments, the technical means and effects adopted by the present application to achieve the predetermined purposes can be more deeply and specifically understood. However, the accompanying drawings are provided for reference and illustration only, and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The embodiment provides a water gun, which is mainly used for regular cleaning such as cleaning courtyards, vehicles, bicycles and household equipment, and garden spraying.

[0032] The water gun comprises a gun body 1, a spray head 2 connected with the gun body 1 and a flow channel connecting the gun body 1 and the spray head 2.

[0033] In the embodiment, the gun body 1 comprises a holding part 130 and a connecting part 140, and the extension direction of the holding part 130 is arranged at an obtuse angle with the extension direction of the connecting part 140. The spray head 2 is arranged at one end of the connecting part 140 away from the holding part 130, and the length extension direction of the spray head 2 is consistent with the length extension direction of the connecting part 140. The extension direction of the holding part 130, the length extension direction of the connecting part 140 and the length extension direction of the spray head 2 are approximately consistent with the flow direction of the fluid in the gun body 1. The flow channel comprises a main flow channel 10 arranged in the gun body 1 and a plurality of branch flow channels arranged in the spray head 2 and not connected with each other. The spray head 2 can move relative to the gun body 1, so that the main flow channel 10 is connected with different branch flow channels, and the water gun has a plurality of different water shapes to adapt to different use scenarios.

[0034] As Figure 4 The branch flow channel comprises a first fluid passage 20, which is formed in a jet oscillator 200 arranged in the spray head 2. The jet oscillator 200 is further provided with a shell 201. The jet oscillator 200 comprises an inlet part 210, an oscillation part 220 and an outlet part 230. The inlet part 210 is provided with an inlet passage 211, and the outlet part 230 is provided with an outlet passage 231. The oscillation part 220 comprises a main cavity 221, a first flow regulation partition plate 222 and a second flow regulation partition plate 223 arranged in the main cavity 221. The main cavity 221 is approximately square, and the inlet part 210 and the outlet part 230 are arranged at two ends of the main cavity 221.

[0035] The first rectifier baffle 222 and the second rectifier baffle 223 are mirror-symmetrically arranged and side-by-side inside the main cavity 221. The length extension direction of the first rectifier baffle 222 and the second rectifier baffle 223 is consistent with the length extension direction of the nozzle 2. The cross-section of the first rectifier baffle 222 and the second rectifier baffle 223 is smaller in the middle and larger at both ends, with the end near the inlet 210 being larger than the end near the outlet 230. The inner sides of the first rectifier baffle 222 and the second rectifier baffle 223 that are close to each other are curved, while the outer sides of the first rectifier baffle 222 and the second rectifier baffle 223 that are close to each other are straight.

[0036] An oscillation channel 224 is formed between the first rectifier baffle 222 and the second rectifier baffle 223. A first feedback channel 225 is formed between the first rectifier baffle 222 and the main cavity 221. A second feedback channel 226 is formed between the second rectifier baffle 223 and the main cavity 221. The first feedback channel 225 and the second feedback channel 226 are located on opposite sides of the oscillation channel 224. The inlet channel 211, the oscillation channel 224, the first feedback channel 225, the second feedback channel 226, and the outlet channel 231 are interconnected to form a first fluid channel 20.

[0037] In this embodiment, the oscillation channel 224 has a shape that is wide in the middle and narrow at both ends, and the width of the oscillation channel 224 near the inlet channel 211 is greater than the width of the oscillation channel 224 near the outlet channel 231.

[0038] Furthermore, the shape of the inlet channel 211 gradually narrows from the end away from the oscillation channel 224 to the end closer to the oscillation channel 224, and a throat 211a is formed at the end of the inlet channel 211 closer to the oscillation channel 224. The width of the throat 211a is less than or equal to the minimum width of the oscillation channel 224.

[0039] Furthermore, the shape of the outlet channel 231 gradually widens from the end near the oscillation channel 224 to the end away from the oscillation channel 224; a nozzle 231a is formed at the end of the outlet channel 231 near the oscillation channel 224. The width of the nozzle 231a is smaller than the width of the throat 211a.

[0040] The first fluid channel 20 can be used to form a swept oscillating jet, and the internal flow self-excited deflection process of the jet oscillator 200 is as follows: Figures 5A to 5C As shown:

[0041] Please refer to Figure 5A, the oscillation part 220 has two feedback channels (a first feedback channel 225 and a second feedback channel 226) inside, and fluid enters from the inlet channel 211 in an upward direction. Due to the Coanda effect, the main flow flows close to the wall surface of the second rectifying baffle 223. Because the width of the oscillation channel 224 is much larger than the width of the inlet throat 211a, a separation bubble is formed on the left side of the oscillation channel 224. The main flow is ejected to the left from the outlet channel 231, and due to the flow limiting effect of the pre-designed jet hole 231a, part of the fluid flows back to the upper part of the throat 211a through the second feedback channel 226, filling and gradually forming a separation bubble on the right side of the oscillation channel 224.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 5B With the passage of time, the backflow causes the separation bubble on the right side of the oscillation channel 224 to grow continuously, thereby gradually pushing the main flow to the first rectifying baffle 222 and the second feedback channel 226, and the process also changes the direction of the main flow ejected from the outlet channel 231.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 5C The main flow has been completely pushed to the first rectifying baffle 222 and the second feedback channel 226, the main flow flows close to the wall surface of the first rectifying baffle 222, the main flow is ejected to the right from the outlet channel 231, and due to the flow limiting effect of the jet hole 231a, part of the fluid flows back to the upper part of the throat 211a through the first feedback channel 225, filling and gradually forming a separation bubble on the left side of the oscillation channel 224. The above process is repeated, and the effect of a sweeping oscillating jet flow periodically swinging left and right at the jet hole 231a (as shown in Figure 6 ).

[0044] The water gun of the utility model completely relies on the fluid characteristics inside itself, and under the stable inlet pressure, a self-excited, self-sustaining sweeping oscillating jet flow can be generated at the outlet, does not contain any movable mechanical parts, and has stable and reliable structure. Without reducing the water pressure, the water gun of the utility model can increase the cleaning area of the water flow, and thus improve the cleaning efficiency of the water gun.

[0045] In the embodiment, the branch channel further includes a second fluid channel 30 and a third fluid channel 40. The second fluid channel 30 and the third fluid channel 40 are arranged in the shell 201, and the structure for forming the second fluid channel 30 and the third fluid channel 40 can be integrally formed with the fluidic oscillator 200. In the embodiment, the second fluid channel 30 and the third fluid channel 40 are both cylindrical, and the diameter of the second fluid channel 30 is smaller than that of the third fluid channel 40, but the utility model is not limited thereto.

[0046] The second fluid channel 30 is used to form a needle type water flow, and the water flow is columnar, but the water outlet hole is small, so that a high water pressure is maintained, and is used for cleaning stubborn small area stains.

[0047] The third fluid channel 40 is used to generate a large flow water type, and the water flow is also columnar, but the opening is larger, and is not used for stubborn stain cleaning, but pursues the maximum flow.

[0048] Further, the spray head 2 is rotatably arranged on the gun body 1, and rotating the spray head 2 can make the first fluid channel 20, the second fluid channel 30 and the third fluid channel 40 respectively communicate with the main flow channel 10, so that different water shapes are switched by rotating the spray head 2.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7 , the gun body 1 is provided with an elastic positioning piece 110, and the gun body 1 is formed with an annular slot 120 at one end, and one end of the elastic positioning piece 110 protrudes from the inner wall of the annular slot 120.

[0050] The water gun further comprises a flow control switch 5 for controlling the flow size of the main flow channel 10.

[0051] The flow control switch 5 comprises a rotating handle 51 and a flow control valve 52 connected with the rotating handle 51. The flow control switch 5 is arranged at the intersection position of the holding part 130 and the connecting part 140.
