Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toilet technology, and in particular to a pipe structure. Background Technology

[0002] Toilets with cleaning functions generally include a telescopic spray nozzle and a water inlet valve. During installation, a flexible hose is typically used to connect the nozzle and valve. This installation method is relatively simple. However, because the hose is made of soft material, it can extend in various directions, taking up too much installation space in the middle of the mounting bracket. The hose also carries the risk of bending, which disables the cleaning function. Furthermore, hoses are inconvenient to install, and the insertion process can be difficult. Additionally, high water pressure can cause the hose connection to come undone, leading not only to cleaning failure but also to leaks and even damage to electronic components. Utility Model Content

[0013] Preferably, the outlet end of the plate-shaped water channel assembly and the inlet end of the spray bar are locked together with the same set of screws, which can improve the installation speed and reduce the number of parts.

[0014] Preferably, a baffle is provided around the water channel installation position, the baffle forming an installation groove, and the plate-shaped water channel assembly is installed in the installation groove to prevent the plate-shaped water channel assembly from shaking.

[0015] Preferably, to prevent the plate-shaped water channel assembly from sliding and misaligning, an anti-misalignment mechanism is provided between the plate-shaped water channel assembly and the water channel mounting position. The anti-misalignment mechanism includes a strip groove and a strip protrusion. The strip groove is arranged along the water channel mounting position, and the strip protrusion is arranged on the bottom surface of the plate-shaped water channel assembly.

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 9 A pipeline structure includes a mounting base 1, a spray bar 2, a switching valve 3, and a plate-shaped water circuit assembly 4, wherein...

[0040] The spray bar 2 is installed in the middle of the top surface of the mounting base 1, and the switch valve 3 is installed on the side of the top surface of the mounting base 1. The mounting base 1 has a water channel mounting position 11 between the spray bar 2 and the switch valve 3, and the plate-shaped water channel assembly 4 is installed on the water channel mounting position 11 through a limiting mechanism. Its two ends are respectively connected to the spray bar 2 and the switch valve 3, and the end connected to the spray bar 2 is pressed by the end of the spray bar 2, which can avoid the waste of the bottom space of the end when the spray bar 2 is installed at an angle.

[0041] The plate-shaped water channel assembly 4 includes a water channel body 41 and a cover 42. Preferably, the plate-shaped water channel assembly is Z-shaped, arc-shaped, or irregularly shaped, and can be flexibly designed according to actual needs to reduce the waste of installation space.

[0042] The main body 41 of the water circuit is strip-shaped, and a water passage cavity 411 is provided on the side facing the mounting base 1. The cover 42 is fixedly installed at the opening of the water passage cavity 411 by welding and blocks the water passage cavity 411, thereby forming a water circuit assembly with a relatively thin thickness. One end of the main body 41 has a water inlet interface 412 on its outer periphery, which is connected to the outlet of the switch valve 3, and the top of the other end has a water outlet interface 413, which is connected to the water inlet of the spray bar 2. Preferably, the water inlet end of the main body 41 is thickened, so that the water inlet interface 412 can be set at the end of the water inlet end, which has more layout space and also improves the robustness of the water inlet interface 412.

[0043] In this embodiment, the plate-shaped water circuit assembly 4 has two independent water passage chambers 411, and there are also two sets of water inlet 412 and water outlet 413. The switch valve 3 is a switching valve, and the spray bar 2 has two cleaning bumps, thus having multiple cleaning functions.

[0044] Regarding the installation method of the plate-shaped water channel component 4, preferably, the limiting mechanism is a screw 44 or a buckle, which is simple to install and easy to disassemble, maintain or replace.

[0045] For example, in one embodiment, the plate-shaped water channel assembly 4 has mounting ears 43 on its outer periphery, and the mounting ears 43 have through holes. The periphery of the water channel mounting position 11 has screw holes corresponding to the mounting ears 43. The plate-shaped water channel assembly 4 is locked onto the screw holes of the mounting base 1 by screws 44 passing through the through holes of the mounting ears 43, ensuring a firm and reliable installation. Preferably, the water outlet end of the plate-shaped water channel assembly 4 and the water inlet end of the spray bar 2 are locked together using the same set of screws 44, which can improve the installation speed and reduce the number of parts.

[0046] Based on the above embodiment, a baffle 111 is provided around the water channel mounting position 11, forming a mounting groove. The plate-shaped water channel assembly 4 is installed in the mounting groove to prevent the plate-shaped water channel assembly 4 from shaking. In addition, to prevent the plate-shaped water channel assembly 4 from sliding and misaligning, an anti-misalignment mechanism is provided between the plate-shaped water channel assembly 4 and the water channel mounting position 11. The anti-misalignment mechanism includes a strip groove 112 and a strip protrusion 421. The strip groove 112 is arranged along the water channel mounting position 11, and the strip protrusion 421 is arranged on the bottom surface of the plate-shaped water channel assembly 4. When the plate-shaped water channel assembly 4 is installed on the water channel mounting position 11, the strip protrusion 421 is inserted into the strip groove 112.

[0047] In one embodiment, to enhance the cleaning function, the switching valve is a three-position switching valve, including a self-cleaning position. The outlet of the self-cleaning position is connected to the self-cleaning nozzle at the head of the spray bar 2 via a flexible hose 5. Since the self-cleaning nozzle is located at the edge of the mounting base 1, the routing of the flexible hose 5 can be flush with the edge of the mounting base 1, without occupying the installation space in the middle of the mounting base 1. In this embodiment, the three outlets of the three-position switching valve are arranged in an inverted triangle, with the top two connecting to the plate-shaped water circuit assembly 4 and the bottom one connecting to the flexible hose 5.

[0048] This utility model uses a thinner and fixed-shape plate-shaped water channel component 4 to replace the traditional conduit, so that the installation position of the water channel, especially the middle position, is fixed, forming an orderly and stable installation method, avoiding excessive occupation of installation space. At the same time, the structure of the water channel is more robust and reliable, and it is less likely to fall off when the water pressure is high during use.
