[0025] 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 some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art 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 to represent selected embodiments of this utility model.
[0026] Example
[0027] Combination Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment provides a water distributor, including a base 1 and a rotating shaft 2. The base 1 is provided with an inlet 11 and at least two outlets. The rotating shaft 2 can be operably rotated within the base 1, and the rotating shaft 2 is provided with a water passage hole 21 communicating with the inlet 11. The water passage hole 21 is used to connect the inlet 11 and at least one outlet after the rotating shaft 2 rotates, so as to select the outlet for water discharge.
[0028] The water distributor described above distributes water flow by rotating the shaft 2. Users only need to operate the shaft 2 to freely select the outlet that needs water flow, without having to operate multiple valves or other complex adjustment devices, which greatly simplifies the operation process and improves the user experience.
[0029] Among them, the water passage hole 21 on the rotating shaft 2 can achieve precise switching of different water outlets by following the rotation, so that the water flow can be efficiently and accurately distributed among multiple water outlets, avoiding problems such as water waste or uneven distribution.
[0030] The overall structure of this manifold is simpler and more compact. Compared to traditional multi-valve systems, the rotation method of the rotating shaft 2 not only reduces the number of parts but also avoids the vulnerability of traditional valves, increasing the system's reliability and durability. Furthermore, this manifold effectively saves installation space and production costs, making it suitable for the high demands of compactness and economy in modern life and industry.
[0031] In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 2 is directly connected to the inlet 11 along its axial direction, and the outlets are regularly arranged circumferentially along the axial direction. On one hand, because the rotating shaft 2 is directly connected to the inlet 11, the flow path of water from the inlet 11 to the rotating shaft 2 is more direct and simple, effectively reducing unnecessary turns or resistance, thereby improving the smoothness and efficiency of the water flow. On the other hand, the regular circumferential arrangement of the outlets along the axial direction helps the distributor to evenly distribute the water flow to each outlet when the rotating shaft 2 rotates. This regular arrangement avoids uneven or irregular water flow distribution, ensuring precise control of the water flow.
[0032] In this embodiment, the water passage 21 is formed through the side wall of the rotating shaft 2. The rotating shaft 2 can rotate freely to switch the water distribution position, so that the water passage 21 is aligned with the designated water outlet. When the rotating shaft 2 is rotated in a controlled manner, the water passage 21 can be aligned with the designated water outlet, achieving precise water flow distribution. The user can select the water flow to the designated water outlet by rotating the rotating shaft 2, ensuring that each switch is accurate.
[0033] In this embodiment, at least one adjacent first outlet 12 and second outlet 13 are provided, and the included angle between the two outlets is 90 degrees. Since the included angle between the two outlets is 90 degrees, the requirements for pipe layout can be reduced, facilitating installation in limited spaces. This is particularly important for equipment or systems requiring compact layout, especially in space-constrained environments, where the 90-degree angle maximizes space utilization, reduces equipment size, and improves the overall effective use of space. Furthermore, when the water flow switches at the 90-degree angle, it ensures a relatively balanced flow rate at each outlet, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the system and avoiding unnecessary water waste.
[0034] In a preferred embodiment, two water passage holes 21 are provided, and each of the two water passage holes 21 corresponds to two water outlets. Thus, after rotating the switching shaft 2, the water distributor can have a water-stopping state where neither of the two water outlets is flowing (at this time, neither of the two water passage holes 21 is connected to either of the two water outlets), a water-flowing state where one water outlet is flowing (at this time, at least one water passage hole 21 is connected to one water outlet), and a water-dividing state where both water outlets are flowing (at this time, the two water passage holes 21 are connected to their respective water outlets).
[0035] As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the water distributor also includes an operating component 3. The operating component 3 is connected to the rotating shaft 2 and can drive the rotating shaft 2 to rotate freely along its axis. By introducing the operating component 3 into the water distributor and directly connecting it to the rotating shaft 2, the operability, control accuracy, and user experience of the water distributor are significantly improved. The operating component 3 makes water flow switching simpler, faster, and more accurate, providing users with a more flexible and efficient water flow management method. At the same time, it reduces the difficulty of using the equipment, enhances the intuitiveness and comfort of control, and is suitable for various application scenarios requiring precise water flow control. This not only improves the performance and reliability of the equipment but also enhances user convenience.
[0036] As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the water distributor also includes a stop member 4. The stop member 4 is disposed on the rotating shaft 2, and the base 1 is provided with a corresponding alignment groove (not shown) that mates with the stop member 4. This not only enhances the accuracy and operational stability of the water distributor but also effectively improves the reliability and service life of the equipment. The cooperation between the stop member 4 and the alignment groove ensures the precise positioning of the rotating shaft 2, preventing excessive rotation and possible mechanical damage, enabling the water distributor to provide more stable and efficient water flow distribution in various application scenarios.
[0037] Preferably, the stop member 4 is a spring pin connection. This spring pin connection provides flexible positioning functionality. The spring pin automatically aligns with a predetermined positioning groove as the rotating shaft 2 rotates, and its elastic force ensures stable fixation. This makes the positioning of the rotating shaft 2 more adaptive, maintaining a precise water flow switching position under different operating conditions.
[0038] In other embodiments, the stop member 4 is a damping connection that provides a smooth stopping effect when the rotating shaft 2 reaches a predetermined position. When the rotating shaft 2 contacts the stop member 4, the damping member absorbs some of the energy, making the rotating shaft 2 stop more smoothly and avoiding sudden impacts or mechanical noise.
[0039] As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the base 1 is provided with a sealing ring 5, which surrounds its respective water outlet. The sealing ring 5 effectively prevents water leakage from the water outlet and the water passage 21, ensuring that water flows out only through the designated outlet. Furthermore, the sealing ring 5 surrounding the water outlet effectively prevents water leakage, thereby improving the sealing performance of the distributor and the accuracy of overall water flow control.
[0040] Preferably, the base 1 is configured as a tubular water-passing component, the rotating shaft 2 is configured as a plastic component inserted into the water-passing component, and the base 1 is fitted with an outer shell 6. Therefore, by configuring the base 1 as a tubular water-passing component and designing the rotating shaft 2 as a plastic component inserted into the water-passing component, the structural compactness, protective performance, and durability are improved, while also simplifying the production and maintenance process. The use of plastic components effectively reduces the weight of the equipment, reduces the risk of corrosion and wear, and improves the ease of operation. Furthermore, the outer shell 6 not only enhances the sealing and protection of the equipment but also improves its aesthetics and stability, making it suitable for applications requiring efficient water flow distribution, durability, and a long service life.
[0041] In addition, this embodiment also provides a water outlet device, including the aforementioned water distributor. The water outlet device can be a shower device used in bathrooms, and the water distributor is specifically a three-way water distributor, which includes an inlet 11 and two outlets.
[0042] 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.
