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 represents selected 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.

[0025] Example

[0026] Depend on Figures 1 to 5As shown, this utility model provides an automatic rotating water outlet mechanism to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. The mechanism includes a base plate 1, a motor 2, a driven gear 3, and a water outlet 4. The motor 2 is coupled to the base plate 1, and its output end is connected to a driving gear 21. The driven gear 3 is rotatably connected to the base plate 1 and meshes with the driving gear 21, so that when the motor 2 rotates, it can drive the driven gear 3 to rotate through the driving gear 21. A cavity 31 is formed between the driven gear 3 and the base plate 1, and an opening 32 formed by a combination of curves is provided on the end face of the driven gear 3. The water outlet 4 passes through the opening 32 and the base plate 1 in sequence. The water outlet 4 is provided with a spherical rotating part 41, which is rotatably engaged within the cavity 31, allowing the water outlet 4 to rotate in all directions.

[0027] The water outlet mechanism is configured such that when the motor 2 rotates, the driven gear 3 can drive the water outlet 4 to rotate along the curve of the opening 32, so that the water outlet 4 is perpendicular to or inclined to the driven gear 3, and when the water outlet 4 is inclined to the driven gear 3, the driven gear 3 can drive the water outlet 4 to rotate synchronously.

[0028] Specifically, the opening 32 has a first limiting part 33 and a second limiting part 34. The spherical rotating part 41 is provided with a limiting rod 42 extending into the opening 32. When the water outlet 4 is driven to sway, the limiting rod 42 can slide along the curve between the first limiting part 33 and the second limiting part 34 until it abuts against the first limiting part 33 or the second limiting part 34 to limit the water outlet 4. When the water outlet 4 is perpendicular to the driven gear 3, the limiting rod 42 abuts against the first limiting part 33. When the limiting rod 42 abuts against the second limiting part 34, the water outlet 4 is inclined to the driven gear 3.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, when the motor 2 rotates clockwise (counterclockwise), the driving gear 21 drives the driven gear 3 to rotate clockwise. The driven gear 3 pushes the water outlet 4 to rotate along the curve through the curved side of the opening 32 until the limiting rod 42 abuts against the first limiting part 33. At this time, the water outlet 4 is perpendicular to the driven gear 3, which can realize a concentrated water column type water outlet. When the motor 2 rotates counterclockwise (clockwise), the driving gear 21 drives the driven gear 3 to rotate counterclockwise. The driven gear 3 pushes the water outlet 4 to rotate along the curve through the curved side of the opening 32 until the limiting rod 42 abuts against the second limiting part 34. At this time, the water outlet 4 is inclined to the driven gear 3. When the motor 2 continues to rotate, the driven gear 3 can be driven to rotate synchronously with the water outlet 4 through the limiting rod 42 abutting against the side of the opening 32 and the upper end of the water outlet 4, so that the water outlet 4 can realize a circular ring type water outlet. The water outlet mechanism of this application can achieve both circular and concentrated water column coffee brewing by rotating a single motor. It has a simple structure, small size, simple control, no need for positioning detection mechanism, and low cost.

[0030] Furthermore, the base plate 1 is provided with a receiving groove 11 in the cavity 31 that is adapted to the spherical rotating part 41, and the spherical rotating part 41 is rotatably connected in the receiving groove 11. The base plate 1 is provided with a convex ring 13 coaxial with the receiving groove 11, and the driven gear 3 is provided with a retaining ring 35 at its bottom. The driven gear 3 and the base plate 1 are rotatably connected through the cooperation of the convex ring 13 and the retaining ring 35.

[0031] Furthermore, a cover plate 12 is provided on the top of the base plate 1, and the motor 2 is connected to the cover plate 12, with its output end passing through the base plate 1 and connected to the drive gear 21. The cover plate 12 conceals the internal structure of the water outlet mechanism.

[0032] Specifically, when the water outlet 4 is perpendicular to the driven gear 3, the axis of the water outlet 4 coincides with the axis of the driven gear 3, so that when the motor 2 continues to rotate, the water outlet 4 can also rotate synchronously without affecting the concentrated water column type water outlet. Alternatively, it can be configured so that when the water outlet 4 is perpendicular to the driven gear 3, the motor 2 stops running.

[0033] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, this application also provides a water dispensing device, including a housing 5, a water supply mechanism 6, and an automatic rotating water dispensing mechanism as described above. The housing 5 is connected to the top surface of the base plate 1, and the motor is housed within the housing 5. The water supply mechanism 6 can be connected to an external water supply device to supply water. The water supply mechanism 6 is attached to the housing 5, and its outlet end has a water outlet pipe 61. The water outlet pipe 61 is a flexible hose, and its outlet end is fitted inside the water outlet 4 and can slide relative to the water outlet 4. The water dispensing device can be a water purifier, coffee machine, or other water dispensing device.

[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
