Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to water guns, and more particularly to a water volume adjustment structure and a water gun. Background Technology
[0002] A water gun is a tool used for rinsing or irrigating by spraying water. Existing water guns include a barrel with a water flow channel, an outlet, and an inlet. The outlet and inlet are located at opposite ends of the barrel's length. The barrel is connected to a water inlet pipe via the inlet, and the water flow rate at the outlet is adjusted by regulating the water flow rate through the inlet pipe. However, due to the relatively long barrel and the considerable distance between the outlet and inlet, adjusting the water flow rate through the inlet pipe to regulate the water flow rate is inconvenient. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a water flow adjustment structure to solve the problem that existing water guns adjust the water flow at the outlet by adjusting the water flow in the inlet pipe, which is inconvenient to operate.
[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] A water volume regulating structure includes a pipe body, a ball core, and a drive assembly. The pipe body has a water flow channel extending along its axial direction. The ball core is rotatably connected to the pipe body and has a water passage. The ball core can cooperate with the pipe body to form a communication port connecting the water passage and the water flow channel. The drive assembly is located on the radial side of the pipe body and protrudes from the outer wall of the pipe body. The ball core is driven by the drive assembly to rotate and adjust the size of the communication port.
[0006] Furthermore, the ball core can rotate to open and close the connecting port, allowing the water passage to connect with or disconnect from the water flow channel.
[0007] Furthermore, there are two water flow channels, and the ball core is located between the two water flow channels. The ball core can cooperate with the pipe body to form two connecting ports. The water flow channels are connected to the two water flow channels through the two connecting ports respectively. When the ball core rotates, it causes the two connecting ports to increase, decrease, or close synchronously.
[0008] Furthermore, the axis of the drive assembly is perpendicular to the axis of the tube, and the ball core is driven by the drive assembly to rotate around the axis of the drive assembly.
[0009] Furthermore, a first sealing ring is provided at one end of the ball core adjacent to the water flow channel. The first sealing ring extends circumferentially around the water flow channel and abuts against the pipe body and the ball core respectively.
[0010] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a connecting rod and a knob. The knob protrudes from the outer wall of the tube and can rotate relative to the tube. The connecting rod is located between the knob and the ball core, causing the ball core to rotate when the knob rotates.
[0011] Furthermore, the ball core has a slot for the connecting rod to be inserted.
[0012] Furthermore, the drive assembly also includes a fixing member disposed on the outer wall of the tube body, the knob being rotatably connected to the fixing member, the fixing member having a socket, and the connecting rod passing through the socket and connected to the ball core.
[0013] To address the problem of inconvenient operation in existing water guns where the water flow at the outlet is adjusted by regulating the water inlet through the inlet pipe, this utility model provides a water flow adjustment structure. Accordingly, a water gun is provided, including a barrel with an outlet. The barrel is equipped with the aforementioned water flow adjustment structure, and the drive assembly is located adjacent to the outlet.
[0014] Furthermore, the tube body has an inlet pipe, a through pipe, and an outlet pipe connected sequentially in its axial direction. The ball core is rotatably connected to the through pipe. The drive assembly is located on the radial side of the through pipe and protrudes from the outer wall of the through pipe. The gun barrel has an outer sleeve and a nozzle adjusting pipe. The outer sleeve is arranged around the inlet pipe and connected to the through pipe. The nozzle adjusting pipe is arranged around the outlet pipe and threadedly connected to the outlet pipe. An anti-detachment ring is provided on the outlet pipe to prevent the nozzle adjusting pipe from moving away from the outlet pipe.
[0015] The advantage of this technical solution is that by configuring a ball core inside the tube, the ball core can cooperate with the tube to form a connection between the water channel and the water flow channel. The size of the connection is adjusted by the drive component, allowing the user to adjust the water output of the water gun by adjusting the size of the connection. Since the drive component is located near the water outlet of the gun barrel, it has the advantages of being simple, quick and convenient to operate compared to adjusting the water output by adjusting the inlet pipe (located at the inlet end).

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Example: Figure 1-5 As shown, the water gun includes a barrel 1 with an outlet 101. The barrel 1 is equipped with a water flow adjustment structure 2, which includes a tube body 201, a ball core 202, and a drive assembly 203. The tube body 201 has a water flow channel 204 extending along its axial direction. The ball core 202 is rotatably connected inside the tube body 201 and has a water passage 205. The ball core 202 can cooperate with the tube body 201 to form a communication port 206 connecting the water passage 205 and the water flow channel 204. The drive assembly 203 is located on the radial side of the tube body 201 and protrudes from the outer wall of the tube body 201. The ball core 202 is driven by the drive assembly 203 to rotate and adjust the size of the communication port 206. The drive assembly 203 is adjacent to the outlet 101. This embodiment provides a water gun to solve the problem of inconvenient operation of existing water guns that adjust the water flow rate at the outlet by adjusting the water inlet pipe. The solution mainly involves configuring a ball core 202 inside the pipe body 201. The ball core 202 cooperates with the pipe body 201 to form a connecting port 206 between the water channel 205 and the water flow channel 204. The size of the connecting port 206 is adjusted by a drive component 203, allowing the user to adjust the water flow rate by adjusting the size of the connecting port 206. Since the drive component 203 is located near the outlet 101 of the gun barrel 1, it offers the advantages of simple, quick, and convenient operation compared to adjusting the water flow rate by adjusting the water inlet pipe (located at the inlet end).
[0025] In this embodiment of the invention, the ball core 202 can rotate to open and close the connecting port 206, allowing the water passage 205 to connect with or disconnect from the water flow channel 204. This configuration, by configuring the ball core 202 to close the connecting port 206, allows the drive assembly 203 to disconnect the water passage 205 and the water flow channel 204 by rotating the ball core 202, thus stopping the water flow from the water gun. This is simple and convenient to operate. Simultaneously, configuring the ball core 202 to open the connecting port 206 allows the drive assembly 203 to adjust the size of the connecting port 206 by rotating the ball core 202 to connect the water passage 205 and the water flow channel 204, thereby adjusting the water flow rate of the water gun. This is also simple and convenient to operate.
[0026] In this embodiment of the invention, there are two water flow channels 204, and a ball core 202 is disposed between the two water flow channels 204. The ball core 202 can cooperate with the pipe body 201 to form two connecting ports 206. The water flow channels 204 are connected to the two water flow channels 204 through the two connecting ports 206 respectively. When the ball core 202 rotates, the two connecting ports 206 simultaneously increase, decrease, or close. By configuring two water flow channels 204 and disposing of the ball core 202 between them, the ball core 202 has a good adjustment effect.
[0027] In this embodiment of the invention, the axis of the drive assembly 203 is perpendicular to the axis of the tube body 201, and the ball core 202 is driven by the drive assembly 203 to rotate around the axis of the drive assembly 203. This arrangement, by configuring the axes of the drive assembly 203 and the tube body 201 to be perpendicular, and the ball core 202 to rotate around the axis of the drive assembly 203, results in a reasonable and compact configuration of the drive assembly 203, the ball core 202, the tube body 201, the water flow channel 204, and the water passage 205. The water flow channel 204 is configured to extend axially along the tube body 201, allowing water to flow directly within the water gun with minimal resistance.
[0028] In this embodiment of the invention, a first sealing ring 207 is provided at one end of the ball core 202 adjacent to the water flow channel 204. The first sealing ring 207 extends circumferentially around the water flow channel 204 and abuts against the pipe body 201 and the ball core 202 respectively. There are two first sealing rings 207, which are arranged opposite each other in the axial direction of the pipe body 201. The above arrangement, by placing the first sealing ring 207 at one end of the ball core 202 adjacent to the water flow channel 204, ensures that the ball core 202 and the pipe body 201 are tightly assembled and have good sealing performance.
[0029] In this embodiment of the invention, the drive assembly 203 includes a connecting rod 208 and a knob 209. The knob 209 protrudes from the outer wall of the tube 201 and can rotate relative to the tube 201. The connecting rod 208 is disposed between the knob 209 and the ball core 202, causing the ball core 202 to rotate when the knob 209 rotates. This configuration, by arranging the drive assembly 203 as a knob 209 protruding from the outer wall of the tube 201 and capable of rotating relative to the tube 201, and a connecting rod 208 disposed between the knob 209 and the ball core 202, allows the ball core 202 to rotate when the knob 209 rotates. The structure is simple and easy to implement.
[0030] In this embodiment of the invention, the ball core 202 has a slot 210 for inserting a connecting rod 208. When the knob 209 is rotated, the connecting rod 208 engages with the slot 210 to drive the ball core 202 to rotate. This arrangement, by configuring the slot 210 on the ball core 202 for inserting the connecting rod 208, allows the connecting rod 208 to engage with the slot 210 to drive the ball core 202 to rotate when the knob 209 is rotated. This design is simple to assemble and easy to implement.
[0031] In this embodiment of the invention, the drive assembly 203 further includes a fixing member 211 disposed on the outer wall of the tube body 201. A knob 209 is rotatably connected to the fixing member 211. The fixing member 211 has an insertion hole (not shown in the figure), and a connecting rod 208 passes through the insertion hole and connects to the ball core 202. This arrangement, by configuring the fixing member 211 on the outer wall of the tube body 201, rotatably connecting the knob 209 to the fixing member 211, and connecting the connecting rod 208 passing through the fixing member 211 and connecting to the ball core 202, ensures stable assembly of the knob 209 and the connecting rod 208.
[0032] In this embodiment of the invention, a second sealing ring 212 is provided on the connecting rod 208. The second sealing ring 212 abuts against both the connecting rod 208 and the wall of the insertion hole. A positioning groove (not shown in the figure) is formed on the connecting rod 208 for the second sealing ring 212 to be inserted. The above arrangement, by configuring the second sealing ring 212 on the connecting rod 208, ensures stable assembly and good sealing between the connecting rod 208 and the fixing member 211.
[0033] In this embodiment of the invention, the pipe body 201 has an inlet pipe 213, a through pipe 214, and an outlet pipe 215. The inlet pipe 213, through pipe 214, and outlet pipe 215 are sequentially connected in the axial direction of the pipe body 201 to form two water flow channels 204. The ball core 202 is rotatably connected to the through pipe 214. The drive assembly 203 is located on one radial side of the through pipe 214 and protrudes from the outer wall of the through pipe 214. The gun barrel 1 has an outer sleeve 102 and a nozzle adjusting pipe 103. The outer sleeve 102 is arranged around the inlet pipe 213 and connected to the through pipe 214. The nozzle adjusting pipe 103... 03 is enclosed outside the water outlet pipe 215 and threadedly connected to the water outlet pipe 215. When the nozzle adjusting pipe 103 rotates relative to the water outlet pipe 215, it moves along the axial direction of the water outlet pipe 215. An anti-detachment ring 3 is provided on the water outlet pipe 215 to limit the nozzle adjusting pipe 103 from moving away from the water outlet pipe 215. The anti-detachment ring 3 is broken in its circumferential direction to form an opening. The anti-detachment ring 3 is elastic and abuts against the nozzle adjusting pipe 103 outward, thereby limiting the nozzle adjusting pipe 103 from moving away from the water outlet pipe 215. The nozzle adjusting pipe 103 has a water outlet 101, and the water outlet pipe 215 has a spray nozzle (not shown in the figure).
