Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom product technology, and particularly to the field of aerators. Background Technology

[0002] Aerators are often installed on bathroom products such as faucets and spray guns. They allow the flowing water and air to mix thoroughly, increasing the flushing power of the water while making the water flow soft and preventing splashing.

[0003] Currently, one type of aerator only has an aerator function. The water flow of this type of aerator usually passes through the water passage and drain chamber inside the aerator in sequence before flowing out from the outlet on the water outlet panel at the bottom of the aerator. Another type of aerator adds a water outlet mode switching function. This type of aerator usually includes a water distribution body and a water outlet body, which can move relative to each other (usually rotate relative to each other). The water outlet body is equipped with multiple water passages, which correspond to different water outlet methods such as internal and external water outlet holes. The water distribution body is equipped with a jet channel. By moving the water distribution body and the water outlet body relative to each other, the jet channel can be switched to different water passages, thereby switching the water outlet mode.

[0004] In the two existing types of aerators, the water flow from the water passage into the drain chamber is relatively concentrated. Even if multiple water passages are set, the water in each water passage is separated from each other. In the existing aerators, these water flows will each hit the water outlet panel at the bottom of the drain chamber. The unperforated area of ​​the water outlet panel can play a certain role in dispersing the water flow. However, some water will still be discharged directly from the water outlet on the water outlet panel, making the water flow uneven and affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide a water outlet body and aerator that help improve the uniformity of water output.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A water outlet body includes a main body, wherein a first water passage and a first drainage chamber are provided inside the main body, and a water outlet plate is provided on the main body below the first drainage chamber. The water outlet plate has a first water outlet communicating with the first drainage chamber. The number of the first water passage is multiple, and each of the first water passages is communicating with the first drainage chamber.

[0008] The water trajectories of at least two of the first water passages intersect at a converging point within the first drainage chamber, and the converging point is spaced a distance above and below the water outlet plate.

[0009] Preferably, the collection point is located at the lateral center of the first drainage chamber.

[0010] Preferably, the collection point is located in the middle or lower part of the first drainage cavity in the vertical direction.

[0011] Preferably, the number of the first water passages is three or more, and the water outflow trajectories of each of the first water passages intersect at the confluence point.

[0012] Preferably, each of the first water passages is evenly distributed around the vertical central axis of the first drainage chamber.

[0013] Preferably, the inner wall of the lower section of the first water passage away from the collection point is an inclined guide surface, and the extended surface of the guide surface passes through the collection point.

[0014] Preferably, the water outlet plate has a blocking portion directly below the collecting position, and the first water outlet is located in the area of ​​the water outlet plate outside the blocking portion.

[0015] Preferably, the main body of the water outlet is further provided with a second water passage and a second drainage chamber, and the main body of the water outlet is provided with a second water outlet. The second water passage, the second drainage chamber and the second water outlet are connected in sequence. The second drainage chamber is annular and surrounds the first drainage chamber. The first drainage chamber and the second drainage chamber are separated by an annular baffle.

[0016] This utility model also provides an aerator, including a water distribution body and the aforementioned water outlet body.

[0017] Preferably, the water distribution body is rotatably connected to the water outlet body. One of the water distribution body and the water outlet body is integrally provided with an elastic cantilever, and the other is provided with a corresponding pressure bearing surface. The cantilever has a pressure-resistant boss, which presses against the pressure bearing surface to provide resistance to the relative rotation of the water distribution body and the water outlet body.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In the water outlet body of this utility model, the water trajectories of at least two first water passages intersect at a converging point within the first drainage chamber, and the converging point is spaced a distance above and below the water outlet plate. This allows the water flow from these first water passages to collide and disperse above the water outlet plate, resulting in a more even distribution of water onto the water outlet plate and discharge from the first water outlet. This effectively improves the uniformity of water output, thereby enhancing the user experience. The aerator in this utility model, due to the use of the water outlet body of this utility model, also possesses the above advantages. Furthermore, because it includes a water distribution body, it can switch between different water outlet modes as needed, making it more flexible and practical. Attached Figure Description

[0027] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

If "first" or "second" is used in the description, it is only for the purpose of distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features, or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0030] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In a preferred embodiment of the water outlet body of this utility model, a water outlet body 10 is provided. A first water passage 111 and a first drainage chamber 112 are provided inside the water outlet body 10. A water outlet plate 12 is provided on the water outlet body 10 below the first drainage chamber 112. A first water outlet 113 communicating with the first drainage chamber 112 is provided on the water outlet plate 12. There are multiple first water passages 111, and each first water passage 111 is connected to the first drainage chamber 112. The water outlet trajectories of at least two first water passages 111 intersect at a converging position 13 in the first drainage chamber 112, and the converging position 13 is vertically spaced from the water outlet plate 12 by a distance. In this invention, the water outlet body has at least two first water passage channels 111 whose water trajectories intersect at a converging point 13 within the first drainage chamber 112. The converging point 13 is vertically spaced from the water outlet plate 12. The water flow from these first water passage channels 111 can collide and disperse above the water outlet plate 12, allowing it to fall more evenly onto the water outlet plate 12 and be discharged from the first water outlet 113. This effectively improves the uniformity of water flow and enhances the user experience.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment of the water outlet body in this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features:

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the collecting position 13 is located at the lateral center of the first drain chamber 112, which can further improve the uniformity of the water output. In other embodiments, the collecting position 13 may also be set at other positions offset from the lateral center of the first drain chamber 112. Those skilled in the art can adjust it flexibly as needed, and are not limited thereto.

[0034] In this embodiment, the collecting position 13 is located at the lower part of the first drainage chamber 112 in the vertical direction, which facilitates the setting of the water flow direction of the first water passage 111 and avoids the water flow direction angle of the first water passage 111 being too large, which would easily lead to backflow. In other embodiments, the collecting position 13 can also be set in the middle or upper part of the first drainage chamber 112. Generally speaking, the lower the collecting position 13 is, the smaller the water flow direction angle of the first water passage 111 is, the smoother the water flow is, and the less likely backflow will occur. However, correspondingly, the water flow after impact and dispersion will be closer to the water outlet plate 12, the dispersion range will be smaller, and the uniformity of the water flow will be worse. Those skilled in the art can choose a suitable setting position according to actual needs and product size, etc.

[0035] In this embodiment, there are three or more first water passages 111, and the water outflow trajectories of each first water passage 111 intersect at the converging point 13. This allows the water flow from each first water passage 111 to collide and disperse with each other, further improving the uniformity of the water flow. In other embodiments, two first water passages 111 may be selected, or only some of the first water passages 111 may have their water outflow trajectories intersect at the converging point 13. Those skilled in the art can flexibly select and adjust as needed.

[0036] In this embodiment, each of the first water passage channels 111 is evenly distributed around the vertical central axis of the first drainage chamber 112, which can further improve the uniformity of water flow and enhance the user experience. In other embodiments, the distribution of each of the first water passage channels 111 can also be adjusted as needed, for example, in a polygonal arrangement.

[0037] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the lower section of the first water passage 111, away from the collecting position 13, is an inclined guiding surface 14. The extended surface of the guiding surface 14 passes through the collecting position 13, thus guiding the water flow so that the water outlet trajectory of the first water passage 111 passes through the collecting position 13. The structure is simple, reliable, and easy to form. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the upper section of the first water passage 111 is vertical, which reduces obstruction to the incoming water and lowers the probability of backflow. In other embodiments, the direction of the water flow can also be guided by common methods such as tilting the first water passage 111 as a whole or setting a conduit at the outlet end of the first water passage 111.

[0038] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment, the water outlet plate 12 has a blocking part 121 directly below the collection position 13. The first water outlet 113 is located on the water outlet plate 12 outside the blocking part 121. After the impact, the water flow that loses some lateral kinetic energy falls on the blocking part 121 and can be dispersed again, which can prevent this part of the water flow from passing directly through the water outlet and further improve the uniformity of the water flow.

[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In this embodiment, the main body 10 of the water outlet is further provided with a second water passage 151 and a second drainage chamber 152, and a second water outlet 153 is provided on the main body 10 of the water outlet. The second water passage 151, the second drainage chamber 152 and the second water outlet 153 are connected in sequence. The second drainage chamber 152 is annular and surrounds the first drainage chamber 112. The first drainage chamber 112 and the second drainage chamber 152 are separated by an annular baffle. In this way, the water outlet mode can be changed by switching the water inlet channel, which makes the function more diverse. The first drainage chamber 112 is also a relatively large central cavity in the water outlet, which is more suitable for the structure in this utility model in which the water outlet trajectories of at least two first water passages 111 intersect at a converging position 13 in the first drainage chamber 112, and the converging position 13 is spaced apart from the water outlet plate 12 by a distance.

[0040] Without causing conflict, those skilled in the art can freely combine and use the above-mentioned additional technical features.

[0041] Reference Figures 1 to 5 This utility model also provides an aerator, including a water distribution body 20 and the aforementioned water outlet body. The aerator in this utility model, because it uses the water outlet body of this utility model, also has the aforementioned advantages. Furthermore, because it includes the water distribution body 20, it can switch between different water outlet modes as needed, making it more flexible and practical.

[0042] As a preferred embodiment of the aerator in this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features:

[0043] In this embodiment, the water distributor 20 is rotatably connected to the water outlet. An elastic cantilever 31 is integrally formed on the water outlet. A pressure-bearing surface 32 is correspondingly provided on the water distributor 20. The cantilever 31 has a pressure-blocking boss 311, which presses against the pressure-bearing surface 32 to provide resistance to the relative rotation of the water distributor 20 and the water outlet. This prevents the water distributor 20 and the water outlet from accidentally rotating due to the reaction force of the water flow, negative pressure, or being bumped by the user during use, thus preventing the water outlet from... The water mode was mistakenly switched, and because the cantilever 31 is elastic, even after prolonged use, although the pressure surface 32 and the pressure boss 311 wear down, the cantilever 31 can still press the pressure boss 311 firmly against the pressure surface 32, continuing to limit the accidental relative rotation of the water distribution body 20 and the water outlet body through the friction between the two, making it more reliable and durable. In addition, the cantilever 31 is integrally molded on the water outlet body, which facilitates processing and manufacturing, saves assembly time, and reduces production costs. In other embodiments, the positions of the cantilever 31 and the pressure surface 32 on the water distribution body 20 and the water outlet body can also be interchanged.

[0044] In this embodiment, the pressure-bearing surface 32 is the downward-facing end face of the outer side of the water distribution body 20. It is flat and arc-shaped. The cantilever 31 is also integrally formed on the top outer side of the water outlet body and is also arc-shaped. The top surface of the pressure boss 311 is also flat and adapted to the pressure-bearing surface 32, which facilitates processing and does not occupy the internal space of the aerator. A shell 40 is also fitted around the water distribution body 20 and the water outlet body, which can provide protection and is also more aesthetically pleasing. In other embodiments, the positions of the pressure-bearing surface 32 and the cantilever 31 can be flexibly adjusted as needed. For example, the cantilever 31 can be placed inside the water outlet body or the water distribution body 20, and the outer peripheral surface of the other one can be used as the pressure-bearing surface 32. Those skilled in the art can make flexible adjustments.

[0045] In this embodiment, the first water passage 111 and the second water passage 151 are alternately distributed around the central axis of the water outlet body. The water distribution body 20 is provided with a total water inlet 21 and a plurality of annularly distributed jet holes 22. In use, the water distribution body 20 is usually fixed to a water source such as a faucet. The water flows from the total water inlet 21 into the jet holes 22. By rotating the water outlet body, the jet trajectory of the jet holes 22 can be aligned with the first water passage 111 or the second water passage 151, thereby realizing different water outlet modes.

[0046] The rotatable connection between the water separator 20 and the water outlet is widely used and has a variety of common connection methods. In this embodiment, an installation hole 16 is provided in the water outlet, and a number of elastic hooks 23 are provided on the water separator 20. These hooks 23 are hooked on the lower surface of the installation hole 16 to rotatably connect the water separator 20 and the water outlet. In other embodiments, the water separator 20 and the water outlet can also choose other common rotatable connection methods, such as providing an annular groove in one and a slider that is slidably inserted into the groove in the other. Those skilled in the art can choose flexibly and are not limited to this.

[0047] Without causing conflict, those skilled in the art can freely combine and use the above-mentioned additional technical features.

[0048] It should be noted that the water outlet of this utility model can also be directly connected to a water source as an aerator. It can also only have a first water passage 111, a first drainage chamber 112 and a first water outlet 113, and correspondingly lack the function of switching water outlet modes or need to add other structures to switch water outlet modes.

[0049] Aerators are typically used vertically, with the inlet of their water distribution body 20 facing upwards and connected to a water source such as a faucet. The first outlet 113 and the second outlet 153 of their water outlet body also typically face downwards. The internal water flow generally flows from top to bottom. The directions such as up, down, horizontal, and vertical in this utility model are based on this conventional arrangement of the aerator and are only for ease of description and understanding. They should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Those skilled in the art will understand that the aerator can also be used at an angle or horizontally in application.

[0050] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Any technical solution that achieves the purpose of the present utility model by essentially the same means shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
