Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom technology, specifically to a multifunctional water outlet structure and a pull-out shower head for a washbasin. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, users have increasingly diverse functional requirements for water outlet devices such as faucets and showerheads. Traditional water flow modes, especially pull-out basin showerheads, typically only offer a single water flow pattern, failing to meet users' personalized needs in different situations and under different circumstances. Particularly during showering, users often need to select different water flow effects, such as jet spray or foam spray, for a more comfortable experience.

[0003] In response, shower heads have been equipped with blade water effects, but these effects are usually located independently at the front of the shower head or on the panel. This makes the design of these products bulky and takes up a lot of space, and also limits the water output of the blade water.

[0004] In addition, blade water has a strong impact force, which can provide a more exciting water flow experience. However, due to the special nature of its water flow mode, it is often limited to a specific water flow pattern and cannot be combined or used in conjunction with other water flow patterns.

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.

[0032] Example

[0033] Combination Figures 1 to 10 This embodiment provides a multifunctional water outlet structure, including a housing 1, a water channel 2, a switching component 3, and a water outlet 4. The water channel 2 has at least one water path, and the water outlet 4 is connected to the water path. The water outlet 4 includes a water outlet panel 41 for outputting shower water and an aerator 42 for selectively outputting two different water sprays. The aerator 42 has a jet component 421 for outputting blade-shaped water and a foaming component 422 for outputting aerated water. The switching component 3 is configured to operably switch the water path outlet to one of the water outlet panel 41, the jet component 421, or the foaming component 422.

[0034] The aforementioned multi-functional water outlet structure features a water outlet panel 41 and an aerator 42 on the water outlet component 4. Water can be dispensed along the water outlet panel 41 or along the aerator 42 via the switching component 3. Users can easily switch between three different water flow modes: shower water, blade water, and aerated water. Users can flexibly choose different water flow effects according to their actual needs. Shower water is suitable for ordinary showers, blade water is suitable for strong impact or massage effects, while aerated water provides a gentler water flow experience, meeting the needs of different scenarios and greatly improving the user experience.

[0035] The blade water and sparkling water are integrated into the same aerator 42, effectively saving space and making the shower head more compact and aesthetically pleasing. The combination of blade water and sparkling water can provide different tactile effects according to user needs. Blade water has a strong impact, suitable for cleaning or stimulating massage, while sparkling water provides a soft and gentle water flow, bringing a more comfortable bathing experience. Sparkling water not only optimizes the water flow effect but also achieves the purpose of water conservation. By mixing bubbles and water, the water flow is reduced while ensuring comfort, effectively saving water resources.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the water outlet panel 41 is integrally formed on the water outlet component 4, and the aerator 42 is screwed onto the water outlet component 4, with both located on the same water outlet end face. Clearly, the integral placement of the water outlet panel 41 on the water outlet component 4 avoids the installation and assembly of multiple independent components, significantly reducing the product's size. The aerator 42 is screwed onto the water outlet component 4, making the installation process simpler and faster. Users can easily replace or maintain the aerator 42 without disassembling a complex structure, improving the product's ease of use and maintenance. Furthermore, the water outlet panel 41 and aerator 42 on the same water outlet end face maintain the same multi-functional water flow mode switching while reducing external connecting parts, improving the overall structural integrity.

[0037] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, specifically, the aerator 42 includes a front housing 423 and a rear housing 424 that are snapped together. The outer periphery of the front housing 423 is provided with a threaded portion that connects and mates with the water outlet 4. The foaming element 422 is circumferentially disposed on the front housing 423. The jetting element 421 is installed inside the rear housing 424 and is inserted into the inner ring of the foaming element 422 to output blade water along the middle of the front housing 423.

[0038] In the above-mentioned configuration, the front housing 423 and the rear housing 424 are interlocked, and the threaded portion of the front housing 423 is screwed onto the water outlet component 4, making installation and disassembly simpler and faster, and providing a stable connection that ensures sealing and robustness. Furthermore, the jet component 421 is inserted into the inner ring of the foaming component 422, outputting blade water along the center of the front housing 423, ensuring efficient switching between blade water and aerated water. The precise cooperation between the jet component 421 and the foaming component 422 ensures precise control of the water flow effect, enabling seamless switching between two different water flow modes within the same device, enhancing the product's versatility and flexibility.

[0039] It should be noted that the water inlet of the jetting component 421 is formed in the middle of the back surface of the rear housing 424, and the water inlet of the foaming component 422 is formed in the periphery of the back surface of the rear housing 424. Thus, the water flow output from the water path can enter the jetting component 421 and the foaming component 422 respectively through their respective inlets, achieving a reasonable distribution before entering each component, clearly distinguishing whether water exits along the jetting component 421 or the foaming component 422.

[0040] Furthermore, a sealing element 425 is fitted around the outer periphery of the front housing 423, and a filter screen 426 is attached to the top of the rear housing 424, with the filter screen 426 covering directly above the water inlet end of the foaming element 422. Preferably, the sealing element 425 is a sealing ring, which is fitted around the outer periphery of the front housing 423, making the front housing 423 and the water outlet 4 in closer contact, preventing water leakage or splashing. The filter screen 426 covering the foaming element 422 can effectively filter impurities entering the foaming element 422, such as sand, rust, suspended matter, etc.

[0041] In this embodiment, the back of the rear housing 424 is also provided with an anti-rotation member 427. The anti-rotation member 427 is used to rotate into place with the threaded part to limit the water outlet angle of the blade. The anti-rotation member 427 is provided with a groove. After the aerator 42 is screwed to the water outlet 4 with relative rotation, when the groove and the protrusion in the water outlet 4 engage with each other, the screw is in place, ensuring that the position of the jet member 421 in the water outlet 4 remains consistent, so that water is discharged at the preset water outlet angle of the jet member 421.

[0042] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the switching component 3 includes at least a press button 31, a drive shaft 32, and a water distribution plate 33. The water distribution plate 33 can rotate freely under control to select the water outlet to the inlet of the water outlet panel 41, the inlet of the jet component 421, or the inlet of the aerated water. Pressing the button 31 drives the drive shaft 32, triggering the rotation of the water distribution plate 33. The relative rotation of the water distribution plate 33 allows for water selection. Specifically, when the water distribution plate 33 is in the first position, water flows along the water distribution plate 33 to the water outlet panel 41; when the water distribution plate 33 rotates to the second position, water flows along the water distribution plate 33 to the jet component 421 of the aerator 42; and when the water distribution plate 33 rotates to the third position, water flows along the water distribution plate 33 to the foaming component 422 of the aerator 42, thus repeatedly switching the water outlet.

[0043] It should be noted that the pressing button 31 and the transmission shaft 32 are connected via an automatic refill structure, which triggers the rotation of the ink distribution plate 33. This automatic refill structure is a conventional button switching method in the prior art, and therefore will not be elaborated upon here. Furthermore, in other embodiments, a ratchet-driven transmission switching method or a gear and rack-driven switching method can also be used, all of which fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the water outlet structure further includes a switching shaft 5. The switching shaft 5 is movably inserted into the water channel component 2 to selectively outlet water to the water path and the water outlet component 4, or to selectively outlet water to another water path. The water path switching method between the switching shaft 5 and the water channel component 2 is not the focus of this improvement; for details, please refer to the applicant's previous patent, and therefore will not be elaborated upon here.

[0045] In addition, this embodiment also provides a pull-out basin shower head, including the aforementioned multi-functional water outlet structure. The pull-out basin shower head incorporates this multi-functional water outlet structure, allowing users to easily switch between shower water, blade water, and aerated water to meet different usage needs. It not only possesses the traditional shower water function but also provides a more impactful blade water and gentle aerated water, greatly enhancing the user experience.

[0046] 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.
