Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a bathroom product, and more particularly to a water outlet device. Background Technology

[0002] Chinese invention patent CN116967033A discloses a water outlet device and shower equipment. The main body has an inlet and an outlet at each end. The inlet is for water intake, and the outlet is for water discharge. A switching shaft drives at least part of the water distribution component to move along the axial direction of the switching shaft. The water distribution component moves relative to the main body and cooperates with multiple outlets to block different outlets, thus achieving the effect of different water flows from the same outlet. Because the water flow intensity, flow pattern, and shower experience vary significantly with different water flows, the water outlet device can switch between different water massage modes to suit the showering needs of different people or different parts of the body. For example, women, children, and the elderly need gentle water flow, while men need stronger water flow to meet diverse user massage needs.

[0003] However, this structure allows for switching between spray water, granular water, and other water droplets. The particle size varies considerably between different types of water droplets, making it impossible to achieve stepless adjustment. In other words, it cannot provide fine adjustments to meet the user's needs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a structure that can steplessly adjust the particle size of the water output, which can steplessly adjust the particle size of the water output between spray water and particulate water.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a structure for steplessly adjusting the particle size of the water outlet, including: a water distribution component, a water distribution body, and an operating component;

[0006] Under the action of external force, the operating component drives the water distribution component to move from the first position to the second position. The water distribution component is provided with a through-hole along the thickness direction. When the water distribution component is in the first position, the through-hole connects the first chamber and the second chamber at the same time. When the water distribution component is in the second position, the through-hole connects only the second chamber. During the movement of the water distribution component from the first position to the second position, the conduction area between the through-hole and the first chamber gradually decreases, so as to steplessly adjust the ratio of water flow into the first chamber and the second chamber, so that the particle size of the water output changes accordingly.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment: it also includes a hydrocyclone and a water injector;

[0008] The second chamber is connected to the hydrocyclone, and the first chamber is connected to the water injector;

[0009] The water injector is inserted into the hydrocyclone, with one end of the water injector along the axial direction serving as the inlet and the other end along the radial direction serving as the outlet. Water flows into the water injector along the axial direction from the inlet and then flows radially into the rotating water flow generated by the hydrocyclone.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment: the water distribution component is a water distribution plate, and the operating component drives the water distribution plate to rotate from the first position to the second position under the action of external force.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the water distribution plate, the water distribution body, the partition plate and the cover are arranged sequentially along the direction of water flow. The water injector is arranged on the side of the partition plate facing the cover, and the cavity for accommodating the cyclone separator is provided on the side of the cover facing the partition plate.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment: the water distribution plate extends a rotating shaft along the axial direction, the water distribution body partition and the cover are provided with a clearance channel along the axial direction, and the rotating shaft passes through the clearance channel and is fixedly connected to the operating component.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment: the operating element is a knob.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment: the water distribution component and the water distribution body are respectively provided with a limiting component and a limiting fitting component to limit the rotation range of the water distribution component relative to the water distribution body, so that the water distribution component always remains in communication with the first chamber.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment: the limiting member is a limiting groove disposed on the side of the water distribution member facing the water distribution body, and the limiting fitting member is a limiting block accommodated in the limiting groove. The limiting groove extends along the rotation direction of the water distribution member. When the limiting groove rotates to abut against the side wall of the limiting block, the limiting block and the limiting groove are limited and fitted along the rotation direction.

[0016] This utility model also provides a water outlet device, which is equipped with the structure described above for steplessly adjusting the particle size of the water outlet particles.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] This invention provides a structure for steplessly adjusting the particle size of the water output. By using an operating component to move the water distribution plate relative to the water distribution body, the ratio of water entering the first and second chambers of the water distribution body can be steplessly adjusted, thereby changing the particle size of the water output. Ultimately, this achieves stepless adjustment of the particle size between granular water and spray water, meeting the needs of different users. Attached Figure Description

[0036] To make the technical solution and features of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific examples. It should be understood that these examples are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. After reading the present invention, any modifications of the present invention in various equivalent forms by those skilled in the art fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] refer to Figures 1-11 This embodiment provides a structure for steplessly adjusting the particle size of the effluent, including: a water distribution plate 1, a water distribution body 2, a hydrocyclone 3, a water injector 4, and an operating component 5 as water distribution components;

[0039] The water distribution body 2 has a first chamber 21 connected to the water injector 4 and a second chamber 22 connected to the cyclone separator 3. Under external force, the operating component 5 drives the water distribution plate 1 from a first position to a second position. The water distribution plate 1 has a through-hole 11 extending along its thickness direction. When the water distribution plate 1 is in the first position, the through-hole 11 connects both the first chamber 21 and the second chamber 22. When the water distribution plate 1 is in the second position, the through-hole 11 connects only the second chamber 22. During the movement of the water distribution plate 1 from the first position to the second position, the conductive area between the through-hole 11 and the first chamber 21 gradually decreases until it reaches zero. To ensure that the through-hole 11 of the water distribution plate 1 always connects to the second chamber 22, in this embodiment, the water distribution plate 1 and the water distribution body 2 are respectively provided with a limiting component and a limiting fitting component to limit the rotation range of the water distribution plate 1 relative to the water distribution body 2, so that the through-hole 11 of the water distribution plate 1 always remains connected to the second chamber 22. In other words, the rotation range of the water distribution plate 1 must satisfy the requirement that the conductive area between the flow hole 11 and the second chamber 22 changes with the position of the water distribution plate 1, but the conductive area will not decrease to zero. Therefore, the limiting member is a limiting groove 13 located on the side of the water distribution plate 1 facing the water distribution body 2, and the limiting fitting member is a limiting block 23 accommodated in the limiting groove 13. The limiting groove 13 extends along the rotation direction of the water distribution plate 1. When the limiting groove 13 rotates to abut against the side wall of the limiting block 23, the limiting block 23 and the limiting groove 13 are limited and fitted along the rotation direction. As a simple alternative to this embodiment, a limiting block can be provided on the water distribution plate 1, and a limiting groove can be provided on the water distribution body 2.

[0040] The water injector 4 is inserted into the hydrocyclone 3, with one axial end of the water injector 4 serving as the inlet and the other radially positioned as the outlet. As the water distributor 1 moves from the second position to the first position, water enters the water injector 4 axially through the inlet, impacts the bottom of the water injector 4, and then flows radially into the rotating water flow generated by the hydrocyclone 3, thus interfering with the rotating water flow and forming particulate water. As the water distributor 1 moves, the amount of water entering the water injector 4 gradually increases, resulting in larger and larger particulate water particles. When the water distributor 1 moves to the first position, the particulate water particles are at their largest size. When the water distributor 1 moves to the second position, no water flows into the water injector 4; all the water flows into the hydrocyclone 3, creating a rotating water flow, and the outlet water is a spray. In this embodiment, the water injector 4 and the hydrocyclone 3 form two different water flows, creating disturbance and changing the particle size of the outlet water. Alternatively, other structures can be used, as long as they can generate two water flows that influence each other, and then the flow ratio of the two water flows can be infinitely adjusted to achieve the effect of infinitely adjusting the particle size of the water output.

[0041] In this embodiment, the operating member 5 drives the water distribution plate 1 to rotate from the first position to the second position under the action of external force. Three flow holes 11 are arranged circumferentially on the water distribution plate 1. The connection between the first chamber 21 and the second chamber 22 and the flow holes 11 is arranged along the extension direction of the flow holes 11. In this way, the flow holes 11 can move relative to the connection between the first chamber 21 and the second chamber 22 and the flow holes 11 during rotation, thereby changing the area of ​​the connection between the first chamber 21 and the second chamber 22 and the flow holes 11.

[0042] To accommodate the water injector 4 and the hydrocyclone 3, this embodiment also includes a baffle 7 and a cover 6. The water distribution plate 1, water distribution body 2, baffle 7, and cover 6 are arranged sequentially along the direction of water flow. The water injector 4 is positioned on the side of the baffle 7 facing the cover 6, and the cover 6 has a cavity 61 for accommodating the hydrocyclone 3 on the side facing the baffle 7. After the baffle 7 and cover 6 are assembled, the water injector 4 can be inserted into the hydrocyclone 3. Furthermore, to allow the water in the water injector 4 to enter the hydrocyclone 3 and create disturbance, the sidewall of the hydrocyclone 3 is provided with circumferentially spaced flow channels 32 for generating swirling currents, and the end face of the hydrocyclone 3 has an inner cavity 31 for the water injector 4 to be inserted. The flow channels 32 tangentially connect to the inner cavity 31 to generate rotating water flow. Thus, the water in the water injector 4, after impacting the bottom of the water injector 4, can encounter the rotating water flow entering the inner cavity 31, thereby interfering with the swirling current.

[0043] To allow the operating component 5 to control the rotation of the water distribution plate 1, a rotating shaft 12 extends axially from the water distribution plate 1. A clearance channel is provided axially for the water distribution body 2, the partition plate 7, and the cover 6. The rotating shaft 12 passes through the clearance channel and is fixedly connected to the operating component 5. This allows the operating component 5 to be positioned on the outside of the cover 6, facilitating the user's switching of the water particle size. In this embodiment, the operating component 5 is a knob.

[0044] The aforementioned stepless adjustment of water particle size can be widely used in various water outlet devices, such as shower heads, faucets, etc.

[0045] The above is only one specific embodiment of the present utility model, but the design concept of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to the present utility model using this concept shall be deemed as an infringement of the protection scope of the present utility model.
