Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bidet technology, and in particular to a water outlet rod ejection mechanism and a bidet. Background Technology

[0002] Bidets are popular among many female consumers, especially portable models. Currently, some bidets on the market feature a telescopic spout that extends from the cap when in use and retracts into the water bottle when not in use. This design offers advantages such as small size and convenient storage. However, these bidets suffer from an overly simplistic telescopic spout structure. To facilitate extension, even when retracted, the spout head still protrudes from the cap, providing a gripping area. However, this design prevents the spout head from being completely retracted, making it susceptible to contact with the outside environment and potential dirt accumulation. Furthermore, it doesn't achieve a truly minimal size, and the protruding cap makes storage inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model proposes a fully retractable water outlet rod installation structure.

[0004] In a first aspect, a water outlet rod ejection mechanism is provided, comprising a mounting base, a water outlet rod, and an elastic element, wherein...

[0005] The mounting base has a telescopic channel extending through both ends. The water outlet rod passes through the telescopic channel and can extend and retract to form a retracted or extended state. A locking structure is provided between the water outlet rod and the mounting base to maintain the retracted state, and the mounting base has an unlocking switch corresponding to the locking structure, which can unlock the retracted state during use, allowing the water outlet rod to switch to the extended state. The outer periphery of the water outlet rod has a first pushing surface facing the water inlet end. The elastic element is installed in the telescopic channel and has a second pushing surface opposite to the first pushing surface.

[0006] When the water outlet rod is to be stored, the water outlet end is pressed into the mounting base, the first pushing surface presses against the second pushing surface, forcing the elastic element into an elastic deformation state (to store force for the subsequent ejection of the water outlet rod), and the water outlet rod is restricted in the mounting base by the locking structure, and the water outlet rod is in the stored state.

[0007] When in use, the user unlocks the locking structure by using the unlocking switch, thereby releasing the axial restriction between the water outlet rod and the mounting base. At this time, the water outlet rod regains its freedom of movement within the telescopic channel. Then, the elastic element returns to its initial state and pushes the first pushing surface and the water outlet rod through the second pushing surface, allowing the water outlet end of the water outlet rod to protrude from the end of the mounting base, and the water outlet rod is in the extended state.

[0008] The water outlet rod pop-out mechanism provided by this utility model has two aspects. First, an elastic element is set between the mounting base and the water outlet rod to store force in the retracted state. Second, a locking structure and unlocking switch are set between the mounting base and the water outlet rod to maintain the retracted state of the water outlet rod. It can also be manually unlocked, and at the moment of unlocking, the water outlet end of the water outlet rod is exposed from the end of the mounting base, making it convenient for the user to pull out the water outlet rod. The water outlet rod pop-out mechanism provided by this utility model allows the water outlet rod to be fully retracted, thereby improving the cleanliness of the water outlet rod and further reducing the storage size of the bidet.

[0009] Preferably, to simplify the installation structure of the elastic element, the mounting base is provided with a step surrounding the telescopic channel, the step facing the water outlet end of the water outlet rod. The elastic element includes a push spring, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the water outlet rod, with one end abutting against the step and the other end facing the first push surface. In this case, the installation structure of the push spring is simple, the installation is firm and not easy to fall off, and it can provide a stable push force for the water outlet rod.

[0010] Preferably, to further prevent the push spring from disengaging from its working position or getting stuck, the elastic element further includes a support ring. The support ring is disposed between the push spring and the first push surface, with the second push surface at the top end of the support ring and an annular groove at the bottom end to accommodate the top end of the push spring. Additionally, the water outlet end of the water outlet rod has an annular protrusion on its outer periphery. The end of the annular protrusion facing the elastic element has the first push surface, thereby increasing the contact area between the two push surfaces and further ensuring that the pushing force is parallel to the telescopic channel and the water outlet rod.

[0011] Preferably, to improve storage convenience, the locking structure adopts an elastic self-locking structure, which automatically locks itself when stored. The locking structure includes a lock groove, a self-locking component, and a self-locking spring. The lock groove is located on the outer periphery or end of the water outlet end of the water outlet rod. The mounting base has a mounting cavity with a connecting telescopic channel. The self-locking component is movably installed in the mounting cavity, with one end facing the lock groove and forming a locking tongue. The self-locking spring is compressed or stretched between the mounting base and the self-locking component. The self-locking spring provides a driving force for the locking tongue to automatically engage with the lock groove, so that when the water outlet end of the water outlet rod is pressed into the mounting base, the locking structure automatically locks the water outlet rod and the mounting base.

[0012] Preferably, the self-locking component is rotatably installed in the mounting cavity, and the locking tongue is engaged or disengaged from the locking groove by the rotation of the self-locking component.

[0013] Preferably, the other end of the self-locking component is a toggle part, which extends out to form a mounting base, thus forming the unlocking switch.

[0014] Preferably, the self-locking component is slidably installed in the mounting cavity, and the unlocking switch is telescopically or slidably installed on the outer periphery of the mounting base, and connected to drive the self-locking component.

[0015] Preferably, to improve the compactness and stability of the locking structure, the self-locking component is provided with a clearance hole, the diameter of which is larger than that of the water outlet rod, and is sleeved on the outer periphery of the water outlet rod. The inner ring of one side of the clearance hole forms or provides the locking tongue, and the end of the self-locking component corresponding to the other side of the clearance hole is a pressing part, which extends out of the outer periphery of the mounting base to form the unlocking switch.

[0016] Preferably, the mounting base is a bottle cap, and a sealing ring is provided on the outer periphery of the water inlet end of the water outlet rod. When the water outlet rod is fully extended, the inner and outer rings of the sealing ring are respectively tightly attached to the outer periphery of the water inlet end of the water outlet rod and the inner wall of the telescopic channel, which can prevent the bidet from leaking or dripping water during use.

[0017] Secondly, a bidet is provided that employs the water outlet rod ejection mechanism described in the first aspect.

[0018] As can be seen from the above description of this utility model, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] The water outlet rod ejection mechanism provided by this utility model has two aspects: firstly, an elastic element is set between the mounting base and the water outlet rod, which stores force in the retracted state; secondly, a locking structure and unlocking switch are set between the mounting base and the water outlet rod, which can maintain the retracted state of the water outlet rod and can also be manually unlocked. Upon unlocking, the water outlet end of the water outlet rod protrudes from the end of the mounting base, making it easy for the user to pull out the water outlet rod further. The water outlet rod ejection mechanism provided by this utility model allows the water outlet rod to be completely retracted, thereby improving the cleanliness of the water outlet rod and further reducing the storage size of the bidet.

[0020] The locking structure adopts an elastic self-locking structure, which can automatically form a locked state when stored, improving the convenience of storage.

[0021] The self-locking component and the unlocking switch can be integrally molded, simplifying the structure. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0038] To make the technical problem to be solved, the technical solution, and the beneficial effects of this utility model clearer and more understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0039] Please see Figures 1 to 13 A water outlet rod 2 ejection mechanism includes a mounting base 1, a water outlet rod 2, and an elastic element 3, wherein...

[0040] The mounting base 1 has a telescopic channel 11 extending through both ends. The water outlet rod 2 passes through the telescopic channel 11 and can extend and retract to form a retracted or extended state. A locking structure is provided between the water outlet rod 2 and the mounting base 1 to maintain the retracted state, and the mounting base 1 has an unlocking switch 12 corresponding to the locking structure, which can unlock the retracted state during use, allowing the water outlet rod 2 to switch to the extended state. The outer periphery of the water outlet rod 2 has a first pushing surface 21 facing the water inlet end. The elastic element 3 is installed in the telescopic channel 11 and has a second pushing surface 321 opposite to the first pushing surface 21.

[0041] Regarding the elastic element 3, in one embodiment, to simplify the installation structure of the elastic element 3, the mounting base 1 is provided with a step surrounding the telescopic channel 11, the step facing the water outlet end of the water outlet rod 2. The elastic element 3 includes a push spring 31, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the water outlet rod 2, with one end abutting against the step and the other end facing the first push surface 21. In this case, the installation structure of the push spring 31 is simple, and the installation is firm and not easy to fall off, and it can provide a stable push force for the water outlet rod 2. Preferably, to further prevent the push spring 31 from falling out of the working position or getting stuck, the elastic element 3 also includes a support ring 32, which is disposed between the push spring 31 and the first push surface 21, and the top end of the support ring 32 is provided with the second push surface 321, and the bottom end is provided with an annular groove to accommodate the top end of the push spring 31. In addition, an annular protrusion is provided on the outer periphery of the water outlet end of the water outlet rod 2. The first pushing surface 21 is provided on the end of the annular protrusion facing the elastic member 3, thereby increasing the contact area between the two pushing surfaces and further making the pushing force parallel to the telescopic channel 11 and the water outlet rod 2.

[0042] To improve storage convenience, the locking structure preferably adopts an elastic self-locking structure, which automatically locks itself during storage. In one embodiment, the locking structure includes a locking groove 22, a self-locking component 13, and a self-locking spring 14. The locking groove 22 is located on the outer periphery of the water outlet end of the water outlet rod 2. Figures 6 to 13 Of course, in other embodiments, the locking groove 22 can also be provided at the water outlet end of the water outlet rod 2, such as... Figures 1 to 5 The mounting base 1 has a mounting cavity 15 that connects to the telescopic channel 11. The self-locking member 13 is movably installed in the mounting cavity 15, with one end facing the locking groove 22 and forming a locking tongue 131. The self-locking spring 14 is compressed (or stretched in other embodiments) between the mounting base 1 and the self-locking member 13. The self-locking spring 14 provides a driving force for the locking tongue 131 to automatically engage with the locking groove 22. Thus, when the water outlet end of the water outlet rod 2 is pressed into the mounting base 1, the locking structure can automatically lock the water outlet rod 2 and the mounting base 1.

[0043] Based on the above embodiments, the self-locking member 13 is rotatably installed in the mounting cavity 15, and the locking tongue 131 engages or disengages from the locking groove 22 by rotating the self-locking member 13. Additionally, to simplify the mechanism and reduce the number of parts, in another embodiment, the other end of the self-locking member 13 is a toggle part that extends out of the mounting base 1, forming the unlocking switch 12, as shown below. Figures 1 to 5 .

[0044] Alternatively, in other embodiments, the self-locking member 13 is slidably installed within the mounting cavity 15, and the unlocking switch 12 is telescopically or slidably installed on the outer periphery of the mounting base 1, and connected to drive the self-locking member 13. Preferably, to improve the compactness and stability of the locking structure, the self-locking member 13 is provided with a clearance hole 132, the diameter of which is larger than that of the water outlet rod 2, and is fitted onto the outer periphery of the water outlet rod 2. The inner ring of one side of the clearance hole 132 forms or provides the locking tongue 131, and the end of the self-locking member 13 corresponding to the other side of the clearance hole 132 is a pressing part, extending out of the outer periphery of the mounting base 1 to form the unlocking switch 12, such as... Figures 6 to 13 .

[0045] Based on the above embodiments, in one embodiment, the mounting base 1 is a bottle cap, and a sealing ring is provided on the outer periphery of the water inlet end of the water outlet rod 2. When the water outlet rod 2 is fully extended, the inner and outer rings of the sealing ring are respectively tightly attached to the outer periphery of the water inlet end of the water outlet rod 2 and the inner wall of the telescopic channel 11, which can prevent the bidet from leaking or dripping water during use.

[0046] It should be noted that, to prevent the water outlet rod 2 from being completely pulled out, a limiting ring can be provided on the outer ring of the water inlet end of the water outlet rod 2. The outer diameter of the limiting ring is larger than that of the telescopic channel 11. In a specific embodiment, the limiting ring can be designed as an inverted loop, and several notches can be made on the limiting ring to form an elastic inverted loop. During assembly, the limiting ring is inserted from the exposed end of the telescopic channel 11 through compression deformation. The limiting ring returns to its original position after completely passing through the telescopic channel 11, thus preventing the water outlet rod 2 from being completely pulled out. Figures 6 to 13 Alternatively, in other implementations, the water outlet rod 2 can be divided into two sections, with one section connecting to the other after passing through the telescopic channel 11. This also achieves the same goal of telescopically installing and confining the entire water outlet rod 2 within the telescopic channel 11. Figures 1 to 5 .

[0047] In another embodiment, a bidet is provided, employing the aforementioned water outlet rod 2 ejection mechanism, wherein the water outlet rod 2 has one state:

[0048] When the water outlet rod 2 is to be stored, the water outlet end is pressed into the mounting base 1, the first pushing surface 21 presses against the second pushing surface 321, forcing the elastic element 3 into an elastic deformation state (to store force for the subsequent ejection of the water outlet rod 2), and the water outlet rod 2 is restricted in the mounting base 1 by the locking structure, and the water outlet rod 2 is in the stored state.

[0049] When in use, the user unlocks the locking structure by unlocking switch 12, thereby releasing the axial restriction between the water outlet rod 2 and the mounting base 1. At this time, the water outlet rod 2 regains its freedom of movement within the telescopic channel 11. Then, the elastic element 3 returns to its initial state and pushes the first pushing surface 21 and the water outlet rod 2 through the second pushing surface 321, so that the water outlet end of the water outlet rod 2 protrudes from the end of the mounting base 1, and the water outlet rod 2 is in the extended state.

[0050] The water outlet rod 2 ejection mechanism provided by this utility model has two aspects. First, an elastic element 3 is provided between the mounting base 1 and the water outlet rod 2 to store force in the retracted state. Second, a locking structure and an unlocking switch 12 are provided between the mounting base 1 and the water outlet rod 2 to maintain the retracted state of the water outlet rod 2 and to allow manual unlocking. At the moment of unlocking, the water outlet end of the water outlet rod 2 is exposed from the end of the mounting base 1, making it convenient for the user to pull out the water outlet rod 2 further. The water outlet rod 2 ejection mechanism provided by this utility model allows the water outlet rod 2 to be fully retracted, thereby improving the cleanliness of the water outlet rod 2 and allowing for a further reduction in the storage size of the bidet.
