[0002] Currently, the position of the water outlet in electric water heating equipment on the market is fixed. The container is placed below the water outlet to collect the water flowing out of the outlet. The distance between the container and the water outlet is fixed and cannot be moved. This makes it unsuitable for containers of different heights. Furthermore, for containers that are short and shallow, if the distance between the water outlet and the bottom of the container is too large, the water in the container is prone to splashing out. If the water outlet is dispensing hot water, the splashed hot water can easily scald the user.

[0003] Therefore, the applicant proposed the following outlet head structure with adjustable outlet height. Utility Model Content

In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0033] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0034] For the adjustable water outlet head structure, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1-6As shown, it includes: a bracket 200 mounted on the panel 100 and a housing component 300 with a water outlet 302 mounted on it; here, the panel 100 can refer to the panel on equipment such as an electric water heater, a direct drinking water machine, a constant temperature kettle, or a baby formula maker, and the bracket 200 is located on the front of the panel 100.

[0035] The bracket 200 is provided with a hollow sleeve 210, and a vertical guide rod 220 is inserted inside the sleeve 210. The guide rod 220 mainly serves as a guide to guide the shell component 300 to move linearly up and down.

[0036] The shell component 300 is mounted on the guide rod 220. The shell component 300 is provided with a vertical toothed surface 301. The panel 100 is provided with a damping protrusion 110 and an elastic element 120 connected to the damping protrusion 110. The elastic element 120 provides a lateral elastic force for the damping protrusion 110 to be engaged with the toothed surface 301. After the shell component 300 moves up or down with the guide rod 220 as a guide, the damping protrusion 110 is engaged with the toothed surface 301 to position the shell component 300.

[0037] like Figure 5-6 As shown, panel 100 has a square opening that runs through the front and back. Support 200 extends from the front of panel 100 through the opening to the back of panel 100, and support 200 is fixed to panel 100 on the back by screws.

[0038] There are two possible connection relationships between the guide rod 220, the shell component 300, and the bracket 200. The first is that the guide rod 220 is fixedly assembled with the shell component 300, and the guide rod 220 can move up and down within the sleeve 210. External force pushes the shell component 300... Figure 4 Height lowered to Figure 7 Height, guide rod 220 moves downward within sleeve 210;

[0039] The second method: The guide rod 220 is fixedly assembled to the sleeve 210, and the shell component 300 is sleeved on the guide rod 220 through a sliding sleeve. Under external force, the shell component 300 is pushed... Figure 4 Height lowered to Figure 7 The height is such that the guide rod 220 remains fixed, while the shell component 300 moves up and down relative to the guide rod 220 via the sliding sleeve.

[0040] In this embodiment, the first method described above is used.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 4-5 As shown, the shell component 300 includes: a middle shell 310, a lower shell 320 and an upper shell 330 assembled together. The middle shell 310 has a toothed surface 301 on its side, which faces the panel 100.

[0042] The upper shell 330 is installed on the upper part of the middle shell 310, and the lower shell 320 is installed on the lower part of the middle shell 310. The upper shell 330 and the middle shell 310 are assembled or connected by at least one of the following methods: snap-fit, integral molding, and screw connection. Similarly, the lower shell 320 and the middle shell 310 are assembled or connected by at least one of the following methods: snap-fit, integral molding, and screw connection.

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, the upper shell 330 and the middle shell 310 are assembled by snap-fit, and the lower shell 320 and the middle shell 310 are assembled by a combination of snap-fit ​​and screw connection.

[0044] The shell component 300 is located on the front of the panel 100, and the gap between the shell component 300 and the front of the panel 100 is very small. The part of the bracket 200 that extends out of the front of the panel 100 and the guide rod 220 are both covered inside the middle shell 310, which improves the aesthetics of the product.

[0045] Furthermore, in the first method described above, either the upper end of the guide rod 220 is fixed to the upper shell 330 or the lower end of the guide rod 220 is fixed to the lower shell 320, both of which can achieve a fixed assembly between the guide rod 220 and the shell component 300; for example Figure 4 As shown, the lower end of the guide rod 220 is fixed to the lower shell 320, and the upper end of the guide rod 220 is fixed to a top panel 311 of the middle shell 310. When the guide rod 220 moves up and down inside the sleeve 210, it will not detach from the sleeve 210 due to the restriction of the lower shell 320 and the top panel 311.

[0046] like Figure 6 As shown, the middle shell 310 has an opening on the side near the front of the panel 100. The opening is opened from bottom to top, but does not penetrate the upper end of the middle shell 310. The opening serves as a clearance opening for the bracket 200 when the middle shell 310 moves up and down.

[0047] Furthermore, the tooth surface 301 is provided with a plurality of arc-shaped concave surfaces 3011 and convex surfaces 3012, and the plurality of concave surfaces 3011 and convex surfaces 3012 are alternately distributed;

[0048] like Figure 4 As shown, during the process of pushing the shell component 300 downward, when the damping buckle 110 encounters the convex surface 3012, it moves to the right and the spring is compressed; when it encounters the concave surface 3011, it moves to the left under the action of elastic force.

[0049] Continue as Figure 4 As shown, the shell component 300 is positioned by the damping protrusion 110 pressing against the concave surface 3011, i.e., in the recess. The spring provides a leftward elastic force to press the damping protrusion 110 against the concave surface 3011. The elastic force provided by the spring is sufficient to prevent the shell component 300 from moving downward under its own weight.

[0050] In this embodiment, in order for the shell component 300 to move up and down smoothly, two guide rods 220 are provided, two sleeves 210 are also provided, correspondingly, two tooth surfaces 301 are provided, and two damping protrusions 110 and two elastic elements 120 are also provided.

[0051] Furthermore, the panel 100 is provided with a through hole 101, and a pressure block 130 is installed on the back of the panel 100. The elastic element 120 is a spring, with one end of the spring supported on the damping protrusion 110 and the other end supported on the pressure block 130.

[0052] Furthermore, the damping protrusion 110 includes a damping portion 111 and a mounting portion 112; the diameter of the mounting portion 112 is larger than the inner diameter of the through hole 101; the damping portion 111 protrudes from the back of the panel 100 through the through hole 101 and extends from the front, such as... Figure 5 As shown, there are two through holes 101, and two damping protrusions 110 are installed on the corresponding ground panel 100. For ease of description, Figure 5 The damping buckle 110 has been installed in one of the through holes 101, while the damping buckle 110 has not yet been installed in the other through hole.

[0053] The pressure block 130 is locked to the back of the panel 100 by screws, and the pressure block 130 covers the damping protrusion 110.

[0054] The front end of the damping part 111 that contacts the tooth surface 301 is arc-shaped.

[0055] In one embodiment, the support 200 has a hollow channel that connects the interior of the device with the interior of the shell member 300, and the water outlet 302 is disposed in the lower shell 320 of the shell member 300.

[0056] The water outlet of the internal water tank or heating box of the equipment can be connected to the water outlet 302 through a pipe, and the pipe passes through the hollow channel of the bracket 200 when connecting the water outlet and the water outlet 302.

[0057] The pipes are generally made of soft rubber tubing, which is kept long enough so that the soft rubber tubing will not separate from the outlet or spout 302 after the shell component 300 moves up or down.

[0058] like Figure 4 As shown, the water outlet height is at its highest position at this time. To lower the height, the shell component 300 can be driven downwards under external force. When it moves to the lower position, as shown... Figure 7 As shown.

[0059] Here, "external force" can be the user directly pushing the shell component 300 up and down by hand.

[0060] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.

[0061] Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other, but only if they are based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
