This device effectively prevents clogging. However, over time, dust can accumulate inside the silicone webbing device, causing some of the water outlet holes to become clogged. This can lead to problems such as some showerheads failing to spray water or spraying at an angle. Because the silicone webbing device is located between the showerhead body and the shower head cover, the cover must be removed for cleaning. Current shower heads are generally connected to the showerhead body via a threaded structure or directly fixed with glue, making removal difficult and often requiring tools for ordinary users, thus reducing the user experience.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] In existing technologies, traditional showerheads or overhead shower products often use silicone water-passing components to prevent clogging. However, these components are prone to accumulating dirt over time, leading to abnormal water flow. Since the silicone water-passing component is fixed between the showerhead body 1 and the faceplate 4, users need to remove the faceplate 4 first for cleaning. The faceplate 4 is usually fixed by threaded connections or glue, making the disassembly process complicated and requiring tools, resulting in difficult maintenance.
[0023] Combination Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a water outlet device, including a water outlet shower head with a silicone surface. It includes a body 1 and a water outlet panel 2 connected to the body 1. The water outlet panel 2 is provided with a plurality of water outlet nozzles 21. It also includes a silicone water outlet plate 3 and a cover 4. The silicone water outlet plate 3 is provided with a plurality of silicone nozzles 31 corresponding to the water outlet nozzles 21. The water outlet nozzles 21 are inserted into the corresponding silicone nozzles 31 to form a connection. The cover 4 is provided with a plurality of connection holes 41 corresponding to the silicone nozzles 31. The cover 4 is detachably connected to the silicone water outlet plate 3 or the water outlet panel 2.
[0024] The silicone water outlet plate 3 refers to a flexible water-passing component independently of the water outlet panel 2. Specifically, it can be molded from a single piece of silicone material, with multiple silicone nozzles 31 on its surface to receive the rigid water outlet nozzles 21. The silicone nozzle 31 refers to the water-passing channel structure on the silicone water outlet plate 3, which can be formed into a hollow columnar structure through in-mold molding, with an inner diameter slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the water outlet nozzle 21 to achieve an interference fit. The connecting hole 41 refers to a through hole on the cover 4 used to position the silicone nozzles 31, and can be a circular hole or an irregularly shaped hole. In a preferred embodiment, a limiting flange can be provided at the edge of the hole to prevent the silicone nozzles 31 from detaching.
[0025] The main body 1 and the water outlet panel 2 form a rigid support frame. The silicone water outlet plate 3 is fixed to the outside of the water outlet panel 2 through the insertion of the silicone nozzle 31 and the water outlet nozzle 21. The cover 4 covers the outside of the silicone water outlet plate 3, and its connection hole 41 contacts the outer wall of the silicone nozzle 31 to form a constraint. When cleaning is required, the cover 4 can be directly separated from the silicone water outlet plate 3 or the water outlet panel 2. At this time, the silicone water outlet plate 3 can be removed by hand because it is only fixed by insertion, without disassembling other structural components. The insertion connection method ensures the sealing of the water flow channel and avoids the use of adhesive or threaded fastening, which significantly improves the efficiency of disassembly and assembly of silicone components.
[0026] The above technical solution enables rapid disassembly and cleaning of the silicone water-conducting components, effectively solving the maintenance difficulties caused by their complex structure. The independent design of the silicone water outlet plate 3 and the cover 4 allows users to target specific areas for cleaning, while the plug-in connection ensures no damage to other components during disassembly and assembly, reducing maintenance costs by over 70%. This solution is particularly suitable for high-frequency usage scenarios, such as hotel bathrooms or public shower facilities, allowing for routine maintenance without interrupting equipment operation.
[0027] Combination Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, a protruding ring 311 is formed on the outer side of the silicone nozzle 31. The protruding ring 311 is adapted to pass through the connection hole 41 and be engaged in the connection hole 41.
[0028] The convex ring 311 refers to the annular protrusion extending circumferentially around the outer wall of the silicone nozzle 31. It can be integrally molded from elastic silicone material, and its outer diameter can be slightly larger than the inner diameter of the connecting hole 41 to achieve an interference fit. The connecting hole 41 refers to the through hole structure opened on the cover 4, which can be circular. The difference between its hole diameter and the outer diameter of the convex ring 311 can be controlled within the elastic deformation range to achieve a snap-fit.
[0029] Specifically, the silicone nozzle 31 achieves axial positioning and radial constraint through the engagement of the protruding ring 311 with the connecting hole 41 of the faceplate 4. When the faceplate 4 is installed onto the silicone water outlet plate 3, the protruding ring 311 undergoes elastic deformation under pressure and passes through the connecting hole 41. After completing the insertion action, it is locked within the connecting hole 41, forming a mechanical limit. No tools are required during this process; only external force is needed to complete the assembly and disassembly. The elastic deformation capability of the protruding ring 311 ensures connection stability. Through the physical interlocking of the elastic protruding ring 311 and the connecting hole 41, the time required for thread tightening or adhesive curing is eliminated while maintaining a reliable connection, simplifying the disassembly process.
[0030] Through the above technical solution, this application achieves quick assembly and disassembly of the silicone water outlet plate 3 and the cover 4, allowing users to disassemble the silicone components for cleaning without the need for tools, thus solving the problem of cumbersome maintenance operations in traditional solutions. The snap-fit structure between the convex ring 311 and the connecting hole 41 ensures sealing while preventing water flow impact from causing displacement of the silicone nozzle 31, ensuring the stability of the water outlet direction. The elastic properties of the silicone material further avoid wear caused by contact with hard parts, extending the service life of the structure.
[0031] Specifically, a fitting groove 312 is formed inside the silicone nozzle 31 to accommodate it on the outside of the water outlet nozzle 21, thus connecting the silicone nozzle 31 and the water outlet nozzle 21. The fitting groove 312 refers to the annular groove structure formed inside the silicone nozzle 31. It can be implemented by combining a hollow connecting part 3121 with an orifice 3122. The inner diameter of the connecting part 3121 can be slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the water outlet nozzle 21, forming an interference fit through the elastic deformation of the silicone material. This structure utilizes the elastic deformation characteristics of silicone to generate radial clamping force during fitting, thereby enhancing the connection seal and preventing displacement.
[0032] The interference fit refers to the dimensional difference design between the connecting groove 312 and the water nozzle 21. For example, the inner diameter of the connecting part 3121 is 0.5-1.0 mm smaller than the outer diameter of the water nozzle 21, causing the silicone nozzle 31 to elastically expand during fitting, generating a continuous rebound clamping force. This design ensures reliable sealing when the water path is connected and allows for repeated assembly and disassembly through the recoverable deformation characteristics of the silicone material. The connecting groove 312 wraps around the outer peripheral wall of the water nozzle 21 through the connecting part 3121, and the orifice 3122 is aligned with the water outlet end of the water nozzle 21 to form a continuous water path. During the fitting process, the connecting part 3121 is squeezed outward by the water nozzle 21, and the elasticity of the silicone material causes it to fit tightly and generate radial pressure. This pressure is evenly distributed in the circumferential direction, eliminating the local gaps present in traditional planar fitting, while the elastic clamping force ensures a stable connection of the silicone nozzle 31. When disassembly is required, axial force can be applied to separate the socket 312 from the water nozzle 21. The flexibility of the silicone material prevents structural damage during disassembly.
[0033] The silicone water outlet plate 3 is physically wrapped around the water nozzle 21 via the socket groove 312, forming an independent and detachable module that can be pulled out entirely for cleaning without removing the cover 4. Simultaneously, the interference fit of the socket structure replaces the traditional planar contact of layered stacking, eliminating the risk of leakage due to misalignment through three-dimensional wrapping. Users can directly pull out the silicone components without tools during cleaning, solving the problems of complex disassembly and inconvenient maintenance associated with traditional solutions, significantly improving ease of use.
[0034] Combination Figures 3 to 4 As shown, in one embodiment, it includes a body 1 and a water outlet panel 2 connected to the body 1. The body 1 includes a rear cover 11 and an inner tank 12 disposed in the rear cover 11. The face cover 4 is embedded in the rear cover 11.
[0035] The rear cover 11 refers to the shell component that forms the external support structure of the shower head. It can be made of injection-molded plastic or metal and serves to support the internal water circuit components and form an installation reference surface. The inner tank 12 refers to the functional cavity structure located inside the rear cover 11. It can be made of a split injection-molded part or a metal insert and serves to accommodate the water inlet channel and fix the water outlet panel 2. The face cover 4 is embedded in the rear cover 11 because its diameter is smaller than that of the rear cover 11, so it is wrapped by the rear cover 11, and there is no snap-fit structure between the face cover 4 and the rear cover 11, which facilitates the removal of the face cover 4.
[0036] Combination Figures 5 to 6 As shown, in another embodiment, the face cover 4 can also be configured to be sleeved on the outside of the rear cover 11. Sleeved on the outside of the rear cover 11 means that the face cover 4 covers the outer surface of the rear cover 11 in a ring or cylindrical structure. Similarly, there is no snap-fit structure or threaded structure between the face cover 4 and the rear cover 11 to facilitate the removal of the face cover 4.
[0037] In a preferred embodiment, a snap-fit block 42 is provided on the cover 4, which is adapted to pass through the silicone water outlet plate 3 to snap onto the water outlet panel 2.
[0038] The snap-fit block 42 is a protruding structure with elastic deformation capability. Specifically, it can be made of polypropylene or nylon and feature a barbed column shape. The angled surface of the barb matches the snap-fit direction, allowing the snap-fit block 42 to compress and deform during insertion, returning to its original shape after reaching the snap-fit position to form a limit. The elasticity of the snap-fit block 42 enables rapid positioning without damaging the silicone water outlet plate 3. "Passing through the silicone water outlet plate 3" means that the snap-fit block 42 penetrates a pre-made through-hole in the silicone water outlet plate 3 during assembly. The diameter of the through-hole is slightly smaller than the main body size of the snap-fit block 42. Utilizing the elastic deformation properties of the silicone material, the through-hole expands and wraps around the outer wall of the snap-fit block 42. This design ensures the fixed position of the silicone water outlet plate 3 while preventing the silicone nozzle 31 from shifting due to water flow impact.
[0039] Specifically, when it is necessary to remove the faceplate 4, you can press your fingernail into the removal hole 43 on the faceplate 4, press the faceplate 4 and cause the snap-fit block 42 to elastically deform, so that the barb disengages from the snap-fit groove of the water outlet panel 2, and then the faceplate 4 can be removed as a whole. The silicone water outlet plate 3, no longer held in place by the faceplate 4, can be directly pulled out from the water outlet nozzle 21 for cleaning. During assembly, after the snap-fit block 42 penetrates the through hole of the silicone water outlet plate 3, the barb automatically snaps into the groove on the edge of the water outlet panel 2. At this time, the silicone nozzle 31 is pressed tightly against the outside of the water outlet nozzle 21, forming a double seal. This mechanical connection method requires no tools; the disassembly process can be completed with a single press, solving the problem of difficult disassembly caused by multiple rotations or glue fixation required by traditional threaded connections.
[0040] Combination Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the silicone nozzle 31 includes a single-hole silicone nozzle 31 and a multi-hole silicone nozzle 31, with the multi-hole silicone nozzle 31 correspondingly connected to a plurality of water outlet nozzles 21.
[0041] The single-hole silicone nozzle 31 refers to a silicone structure with a single water outlet channel, which can be implemented using a cylindrical or conical hollow silicone tube. The diameter of its internal channel matches the outer diameter of the water outlet nozzle 21 to achieve a sealing connection. This structure covers a single water outlet nozzle 21, ensuring basic water flow output. The multi-hole silicone nozzle 31 refers to a silicone structure with multiple water inlet channels, and its bottom has multiple connecting holes corresponding to different water outlet nozzles 21. This structure integrates the water flow from multiple water outlet nozzles 21 to form a concentrated and diffused water outlet pattern.
[0042] Combination Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the rear cover 11 is connected to a universal ball 5 with a water inlet channel. The universal ball 5 is connected to the rear cover 11 by a nut 6 and a retaining ring 7, and a sealing gasket 8 is provided between the universal ball 5 and the rear cover 11.
[0043] The universal ball 5 with a water inlet refers to a spherical connecting part 3121 with an adjustable angle and an internal water flow channel. It can be made of metal or high-strength plastic. Its water inlet channel forms a continuous water flow path with the water outlet channel of the rear cover 11. The spherical structure of the universal ball 5 allows for multi-angle adjustment of the water outlet direction. The nut 6 is a ring-shaped fastener with internal threads, which can be made of stainless steel. It applies axial pressure to the universal ball 5 by tightening the threads. The retaining ring 7 is a ring-shaped limiting component with an elastic buckle, which can be made of engineering plastic. It achieves radial constraint by snapping into the limiting groove of the rear cover 11. The sealing gasket 8 is an elastic sealing element located on the contact surface between the universal ball 5 and the rear cover 11. It can be made of silicone or rubber and fills the assembly gap through compression deformation.
[0044] During the assembly of the universal ball 5 and the rear cover 11, the water inlet axis of the universal ball 5 is aligned with the water outlet channel of the rear cover 11, and the sealing gasket 8 is pre-compressed between the contact surfaces of the two to form a sealing interface. The nut 6 is tightened along the axial direction of the universal ball 5 to the threaded end of the rear cover 11, generating axial clamping force to continuously compress the sealing gasket 8. The elastic snap of the retaining ring 7 is embedded in the annular groove on the outside of the rear cover 11, restricting the radial displacement of the universal ball 5 when subjected to water flow impact or external force. When it is necessary to adjust the water outlet angle, the universal ball 5 rotates freely within the axial limit range formed by the nut 6 and the retaining ring 7, and the elastic deformation of the sealing gasket 8 compensates for the change in the gap of the contact surface, maintaining the sealing state. Through the combined fixing method of the nut 6 and the retaining ring 7, a double constraint is formed in the axial and radial directions, reducing the probability of loosening of the connection structure. The elastic sealing gasket 8 replaces the traditional hard sealing surface, which can automatically compensate for the gap changes caused by assembly tolerances and angle adjustments, improving the sealing reliability. This solution achieves multi-angle water outlet adjustment while ensuring the long-term stability and sealing performance of the connection structure.
