Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom technology, and in particular to a pull-out suspension mechanism and a water outlet device. Background Technology

[0002] Existing pull-out faucets have a pull-out water hose that can be pulled out by the user, allowing water to spray to a specific location. In order to achieve retraction, the pull-out water hose of pull-out faucets is usually suspended by a weight. The presence of the weight requires the user to continuously apply force to the pull-out water hose to keep it in the pulled-out state, which causes inconvenience to the user.

[0003] To address this, related technologies have emerged that enable pull-out faucets to stop the water pipe from being pulled out. These faucets are equipped with a suspension structure that allows the water pipe to be suspended. However, the length of the water pipe that is pulled out when it is suspended is fixed and cannot be adjusted according to actual needs, resulting in relatively poor flexibility in the use of pull-out faucets. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a pull-out suspension mechanism and a water outlet device to solve the problem of inflexible use of the water outlet device.

[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] In a first aspect, this utility model provides a pull-out suspension mechanism, including a support member and a fixing component. The support member is provided with a guide groove extending in a vertical direction. A plurality of slots communicating with the guide groove are spaced apart along the vertical direction on one side of the guide groove, and the height of any of the slots is lower than the height of the top wall of the guide groove. The fixing component includes a sliding seat, a fastener, a limiting member, and an elastic member. The sliding seat is capable of moving up and down relative to the support member in the vertical direction. The limiting member is movably disposed on the sliding seat in the vertical direction and is provided with a limiting hole. The limiting hole includes a first segment and a second segment that communicate with each other. The first segment extends in the vertical direction, and its orthographic projection onto the support member falls on the area of ​​the guide groove. One end of the second segment communicates with the first segment, and the other end extends horizontally towards the slot. The fastener is rotatably disposed on the sliding seat and includes a snap-fit ​​portion that movably passes through the limiting hole.

[0007] When the sliding seat rises relative to the support member, the locking part is locked in any of the slots under the action of the elastic member to restrict the sliding seat from falling. When the sliding seat falls relative to the support member, the locking part passes through the first segment and is limited in the guide groove.

[0008] Optionally, the pull-out suspension mechanism further includes a counterweight connected to the sliding seat.

[0009] Optionally, the top wall of the card slot is configured as an arc shape with its center pointing outward from the card slot.

[0010] Optionally, the bottom wall of the card slot is configured as an arc shape with its center pointing inwards from the inside of the card slot.

[0011] Optionally, the lower end of the guide groove is connected to an installation port, which extends to the lower end face of the support member, and the installation port is configured as a cone with a cross-sectional width that gradually decreases from bottom to top.

[0012] Optionally, the sliding seat has an installation groove on the side facing the limiting member, and a protrusion is provided on the side wall of the installation groove. The fastener is hooked onto the protrusion and can rotate relative to the protrusion.

[0013] Optionally, the elastic element is a compression spring, with one end of the compression spring sleeved on the buckle and the other end abutting against the sliding seat.

[0014] Optionally, the support member is configured as a cylindrical structure, and the limiting member is slidably disposed within the support member along the vertical direction.

[0015] Optionally, the sliding seat includes a sleeve portion for fitting onto the pull-out water pipe, and the fixing assembly further includes a second locking member and a pressure cap. The pressure cap is fitted onto the sleeve portion and threadedly connected to the sleeve portion. The second locking member includes a main body portion, anti-slip protrusions, and a limiting retaining ring. The main body portion is configured as a semi-circular structure and inserted into the sleeve portion. A plurality of anti-slip protrusions are disposed on the inner wall of the main body portion. The axially upward top end of the main body portion is bent outward to form the limiting retaining ring. The limiting retaining ring is sandwiched between the pressure cap and the top end face of the sleeve portion.

[0016] Secondly, this utility model provides a water outlet device, including a pull-out water outlet pipe, a water outlet head, and any one of the above-mentioned pull-out suspension mechanisms.

[0035] This invention provides a pull-out suspension mechanism, which can be used in water dispensing devices including but not limited to pull-out faucets, and other devices requiring a pull-out suspension function. This invention also provides a water dispensing device, including a pull-out suspension mechanism, a pull-out water pipe 3, a water outlet head 4, and a water dispensing body 5. The water outlet head 4 is located at the first end of the water dispensing body 5 and connected to the pull-out water pipe 3, which passes through the water dispensing body 5. When using the water dispensing device, the position of the water outlet head 4 can be adjusted by pulling it out of the water dispensing body 5. After releasing the water outlet head 4, the pull-out suspension mechanism can achieve suspension of the water outlet head 4 by restricting the pull-out water pipe 3. The following describes the pull-out suspension mechanism and the water dispensing device in detail, taking the application of the pull-out suspension mechanism to a water dispensing device as an example.

[0036] refer to Figures 1-11 As shown, the pull-out suspension mechanism proposed in the embodiment of this utility model includes a support member 1 and a fixing component 2. The support member 1 can be configured as a box-shaped or sleeve-shaped hollow structure, or as a plate-shaped structure. The support member 1 is fixed to the water outlet body 5, for example, fixed to the second end of the water outlet body 5. The support member 1 is provided with a guide groove 11 extending in the vertical direction. A plurality of slots 12 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction on one side of the guide groove 11. The height of any slot 12 is lower than the height of the top wall 111 of the guide groove 11. The fixing component 2 can rise relative to the support member 1. For example, when it is used in a water outlet device, it is connected to the pull-out water pipe 3 and moves upward when the water outlet head 4 is pulled outward. The fixing component 2 includes a sliding seat 21, a fastener 23, and an elastic member 24. The fastener 23 is rotatably disposed on the sliding seat 21. The fastener 23 includes a snap-fit ​​portion 231. When the sliding seat 21 rises relative to the support member 1, the snap-fit ​​portion 231 can rotate from the guide groove 11 to any slot 12 under the action of the elastic member 24 and snap into any slot 12 to restrict the sliding seat 21 from descending. In order to enable the fixing component 2 and the water outlet head 4 to return to their initial positions (hereinafter referred to as return), the fixing component 2 also includes a limiting member 22. The limiting member 22 is movably disposed on the sliding seat 21 in the vertical direction. The limiting member 22 is provided with a limiting hole 221. The limiting hole 221 includes a first segment 2211 and a second segment 2212 that are connected to each other. The first segment 2211 extends in the vertical direction, and the orthographic projection of the first segment 2211 toward the support member 1 falls on the area where the guide groove 11 is located. One end of the second segment 2212 is connected to the first segment 2211, and the other end extends horizontally toward the slot 12. The locking part 231 is movably disposed in the limiting hole 221.

[0037] refer to Figures 5-8As shown, when the water head 4 is pulled outward by the above-mentioned pull-out suspension mechanism and water outlet device, the fixing component 2 rises. During the rising process, the snap-fit ​​part 231 on the snap fastener 23 passes through the limiting hole 221 and inserts into the guide groove 11 to rise along the guide groove 11. When it moves to the height of any slot 12, under the action of the elastic member 24, the snap fastener 23 rotates, so that the snap-fit ​​part 231 snaps into any slot 12. Therefore, the fixing component 2 and the pull-out water outlet pipe 3 connected to the fixing component 2 can be suspended at any position corresponding to the slot 12, which is flexible to use. At this time, the snap-fit ​​part 231 is in the second section 2212 of the limiting hole 221. As the fixing component 2 continues to rise until the engaging portion 231 on the latching member 23 is pulled into the guide groove 11 above the slot 12, the pulling force is released. The sliding seat 21 falls downwards under gravity, causing the water outlet 4 to return to its original position. The limiting member 22 moves upwards relative to the sliding seat 21, and the engaging portion 231 enters the first section 2211. The first section 2211 restricts the movement of the engaging portion 231 towards the slot 12, confining it to the guide groove 11. The engaging portion 231 descends to abut against the bottom wall 112 of the guide groove 11. At this point, the sliding seat 21 returns to its initial position, and the water outlet 4 retracts into the water outlet body 5 as the water outlet pipe 3 is pulled down. After the sliding seat 21 stops descending, the limiting member 22 falls under its own gravity, and the engaging portion 231 moves upwards relative to the limiting member 22, thus returning to the second section 2211.

[0038] It is understood that the aforementioned gravitational force can come from the weight of the sliding seat 21 itself, or the pull-out suspension mechanism may also include a counterweight 7, which is connected to the sliding seat 21 via the pull-out water pipe 3. For example, the counterweight 7 is a hammer.

[0039] Specifically, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the bottom wall of the slot 12 is set as an arc with the center pointing inwards to effectively prevent the locking part 231 from disengaging from the slot 12. At the same time, in order to reduce the difficulty of the locking part 231 disengaging from the slot 12 when the sliding seat 21 rises, the top wall of the slot 12 is set as an arc with the center pointing outwards to the slot 12.

[0040] refer to Figures 2-4 As shown, the support member 1 is a cylindrical structure extending vertically, and the fixing component 2 is slidably disposed inside the support member 1. Due to the limited internal space of the support member 1, the limiting component 22 can only move vertically. Specifically, the support member 1 is fixed to the water outlet body 5 by the first locking component 6, which is not limited to using a nut.

[0041] More specifically, see reference Figures 10-11As shown, to facilitate the assembly of the fixing component 2 into the support member 1, the lower end of the guide groove 11 is connected to an installation port 13, which extends to the lower end face of the support member 1. It is worth emphasizing that, to prevent the fixing component 2 from detaching from the support member 1 during normal use of the pull-out suspension mechanism, and to further reduce the difficulty of the locking part 231 entering the guide groove 11, the installation port 13 is designed as a cone with a gradually decreasing cross-sectional width from bottom to top. When the fixing component 2 needs to be assembled into the support member 1, the locking part 231 moves from the installation port 13 towards the guide groove 11. During this movement, the support member 1 is compressed and deformed, widening the cross-sectional width at the end of the installation port 13 connected to the guide groove 11. After the locking part 231 enters the guide groove 11, the support member 1 returns to its original shape, and the cross-sectional width at the end of the installation port 13 connected to the guide groove 11 narrows, restricting the locking part 231 from detaching from the guide groove 11, thereby limiting the positioning of the fixing component 2.

[0042] refer to Figure 9 As shown, the sliding seat 21 includes a sleeve portion 212 and a mounting portion 211. The sleeve portion 212 is used to fit onto the pull-out water pipe 3, and the mounting portion 211 is located on the side of the sleeve portion 212 facing the guide groove 11. The sliding seat 21 and the limiting member 22 together form a mounting cavity, and the fastener 23 is disposed in the mounting cavity. Specifically, the sliding seat 21 has a mounting groove 2111 on the side facing the limiting member 22. The limiting member 22 at least blocks part of the groove opening of the mounting groove 2111 to form the aforementioned mounting cavity. A protrusion 213 is provided on the groove sidewall of the mounting groove 2111, and the fastener 23 also includes a hook portion 232 and a rotating portion 233. The hook portion 232 hooks onto the protrusion 213, and the rotating portion 233 is connected to the hook portion 232 and can rotate relative to the protrusion 213. The engaging portion 231 is disposed perpendicular to the hook portion 232. Compared to connecting the sliding seat 21 via a rotating shaft, the limiting component 22 designed in this way reduces the difficulty of later maintenance and facilitates timely replacement of the limiting component 22.

[0043] The elastic element 24 is a compression spring. To facilitate the installation of the compression spring, the buckle 23 also includes a sleeve part 234. The sleeve part 234 is disposed on the rotating part 233 and located between the hook part 232 and the snap part 231. One end of the compression spring is sleeved on the sleeve part 234, and the other end abuts against the side wall of the mounting groove 2111.

[0044] To prevent the sliding seat 21 from axially shifting relative to the pull-out water pipe 3, the fixing assembly 2 also includes a second locking member 25. The second locking member 25 includes a main body 251, anti-slip protrusions 252, and a limiting retaining ring 253. The main body 251 is configured as a semi-circular structure and is inserted into the sleeve 212 with an interference fit. Multiple anti-slip protrusions 252 are provided on the inner wall of the main body 251. The second locking member 25 is in an interference fit with the pull-out water pipe 3 through the anti-slip protrusions 252. The top end of the main body 251 is bent outward in the axial direction to form the limiting retaining ring 253, which is hooked onto the top end face of the sleeve 212. Furthermore, the fixing assembly 2 also includes a pressure cap 26, which is sleeved on the sleeve portion 212 and threadedly connected to the sleeve portion 212. The pressure cap 26 cooperates with the sleeve portion 212 to clamp the second locking member 25 to prevent the second locking member 25 from disengaging from the sliding seat 21. Moreover, the second locking member 25 is detachable from the sliding seat 21, reducing the cost of replacing the second locking member 25.

[0045] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
