Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bubbler technology, and in particular to a rectifier device for a bubbler. Background Technology

[0002] An aerator is installed at the outlet of a water outlet device to agitate the water and mix it with air to create bubbly water. Because of the added air, the bubbly water becomes gentler and less prone to splashing, leading to its widespread use today. However, when users require a high-impact water flow, bubbly water falls short, a problem that traditional showerheads can solve.

[0003] A water outlet rectifying device, patent number 202222821144.6, includes a water outlet rectifying component. The bottom of the water outlet rectifying component has guide grooves evenly distributed along the water flow direction and a flow-blocking ring located below the guide grooves. The upper part of the water outlet rectifying component has a water inlet. The lower end of the water outlet rectifying component is inserted into the shower water channel, and the lower end of the rectifying sleeve is located above the outlet of the shower water channel. The bottom of the water outlet rectifying component has guide grooves evenly distributed along the water flow direction and a flow-blocking ring located below the guide grooves. The guide grooves are used to organize the turbulent flow entering the water outlet body into multiple water streams with the same direction. The flow-blocking ring is used to re-converge the water paths initially rectified by the guide grooves and dissipate energy to gently spray the water onto the upper end of the outlet of the shower water channel.

[0004] Although the showerheads described above are equipped with guide channels and flow-blocking rings, when the water pressure is low or unstable, the water outlets of each showerhead cannot form a full water jet, affecting the overall performance.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention proposes a rectifier for an aerator, which aims to optimize the rectification effect of water flow and improve the water output performance under different water pressure conditions. Utility Model Content

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a water outlet body, which is provided with an outer water outlet channel and an inner water channel, and the water outlet body and the water inlet body are rotatably connected.

[0015] Furthermore, the water outlet body is provided with an outer ring wall and an inner ring wall.

[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. However, it should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the present utility model.

[0043] This embodiment provides a rectifier for a bubbler, combined with... Figures 1 to 16 The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below. The rectifying device includes an outlet rectifying component 1, an inlet body 2, and an outlet body 3. These three components achieve water flow rectification and uniform distribution through a specific connection relationship and structural design. The structural features, positional relationships, and mutual cooperation of each component will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] The outlet rectifier 1 is the core component of the rectifier device. Its lower part is provided with a diversion hole 11 and a partition ring 12. The diversion holes 11 are longitudinally distributed along the annular wall of the outlet rectifier 1, and the axis of the diversion holes 11 is perpendicular to the axis of the outlet rectifier 1. Furthermore, the diversion holes 11 are vertically distributed along the annular wall of the outlet rectifier 1. Figure 4 As shown. The function of the diversion hole 11 is to regulate the water flow and allow some water to enter the first rectifier channel, while the ribs between the diversion holes allow some water to enter the second rectifier channel, thereby initially improving the water flow distribution characteristics. The separator ring 12 is located below the diversion hole 11, with a first rectifier channel 13 on its outer side and a second rectifier channel 14 on its inner side, as shown. Figure 3 and 4 As shown. The outer and inner walls of the separating ring 12 are respectively provided with vertically arranged first ribs 15 and second ribs 16. A first rectifier groove 13 is formed between the first ribs 15, and a second rectifier groove 14 is formed between the second ribs 16, as shown. Figure 4As shown. The first rectifier trough 13 and the second rectifier trough 14 are used to rectify the water flow diverted to the outside of the separator ring and the water flow diverted to the inside of the separator ring, respectively, so that the direction of the water flow and the water volume at various points tend to be consistent. The flow direction of the diversion hole is perpendicular to or at an angle to the flow direction of the first rectifier trough, and the flow direction of the diversion hole is perpendicular to or at an acute angle to the flow direction of the second rectifier trough. The flow area of ​​the first rectifier trough 13 is larger than the flow area of ​​the second rectifier trough 14, thereby realizing the distribution of water flow of different rates.

[0045] As a further explanation of this embodiment, the upper part of the outlet rectifier 1 is connected to the inlet body 2, and the two can be fixed by threaded connection, snap-fit ​​connection or integral molding, such as... Figures 5 to 8 As shown. The upper end of the water inlet body 2 is provided with a jet hole 21, which is located at the upper end of the inner ring of the water outlet rectifier 1. The axis of the jet hole 21 is parallel to the axis of the water outlet rectifier 1, as shown. Figure 5 As shown. The design of the jet hole 21 allows the water flow to be concentrated and sprayed to the diversion hole 11, thereby increasing the pressure and velocity of the water flow and further optimizing the rectification effect of the water flow. The water inlet 2 is equipped with a shell.

[0046] As a further explanation of this embodiment, the water outlet body 3 is provided with an outer ring water outlet channel 31 and an inner ring water outlet channel 32, such as Figure 7 As shown. The water outlet 3 and the water inlet 2 are switched by rotational docking, allowing users to select different water outlet modes according to their needs. The water outlet 3 is provided with an outer ring wall 33 and an inner ring wall 34. The outer ring wall 33 and the diversion hole 11 form a first slow-flow cavity 35, and the inner ring wall 34 and the diversion hole 11 form a second slow-flow cavity 36, as shown. Figure 9 As shown, the volume of the first flow-retarding chamber 35 is larger than that of the second flow-retarding chamber 36. This design allows the water flow to be adequately buffered and evenly distributed within the flow-retarding chamber before entering the outer ring outlet channel 31 or the inner ring outlet channel 32, thereby avoiding unevenness caused by the water flow directly impacting the outlet.

[0047] As a further explanation of this embodiment, the water outlet rectifier 1 is disposed within the outer ring water outlet channel 31 of the water outlet body 3, and a mixing chamber 17 is provided between the lower end of the water outlet rectifier 1 and the water outlet of the water outlet body 3, such as... Figure 4 As shown. The height of the mixing chamber 17 is greater than the height of the first rectifier 13, the second rectifier 14, or the outlet hole. The design of the mixing chamber 17 allows the rectified water flow to mix again before entering the outlet hole, thereby improving the uniformity and stability of the water output.

[0048] As a further explanation of this embodiment, a rectifier screen is provided between the water outlet rectifying component 1 and the water outlet of the outer ring water outlet channel. A rectifier screen can be added to the mixing chamber as needed to further improve the uniformity of water flow at each outlet.

[0049] As a further explanation of this embodiment, in conjunction with Figure 16 The working state of the rectifier is described below. When water is sprayed from the jet hole 21 of the inlet body 2 to the diversion hole 11, the water flow is straightened and a portion of the water enters the first rectifier channel, while the ribs between the diversion holes allow a portion of the water to enter the second rectifier channel. The flow direction of the diversion hole 11 forms a 90-degree angle with the flow direction of the first rectifier channel 13 and the second rectifier channel 14, thereby achieving the redirection and redistribution of the water flow. The water flowing through the diversion hole 11 enters the first slow-flow chamber 35 and the second slow-flow chamber 36. After being buffered and evenly distributed in the slow-flow chamber, it flows to the outlet through the outer ring outlet channel 31. In the outer ring outlet channel 31, the water flows into the mixing chamber 17 after being rectified by the first rectifier channel 13 and the second rectifier channel 14, and finally flows out from the outlet. The design of the mixing chamber 17 allows the water flow to be mixed again before flowing out, thereby ensuring the uniformity and stability of the output water.

[0050] As a further explanation of this embodiment, in the above embodiment, the connection and positional relationships between the various components are clear and closely coordinated. The water outlet rectifying component 1 is fixed to the water inlet body 2 by means of threaded connection, snap-fit ​​connection, or integral molding, ensuring the smooth flow of water from the jet hole 21 to the diversion hole 11. The cooperation between the diversion hole 11 and the partition ring 12 realizes the initial decomposition and diversion of the water flow, and the design of the first rectifying groove 13 and the second rectifying groove 14 further rectifyes and distributes the water flow. The spatial distribution design of the first slow-flow chamber 35 and the second slow-flow chamber 36 allows the water flow to be fully buffered and evenly distributed before entering the water outlet channel. The height design of the mixing chamber 17 ensures that the water flow can be mixed again before flowing out, thereby improving the water outlet effect.

[0051] As a further explanation of this embodiment, through the above structural design and the close cooperation between the components, the rectifier of this utility model can effectively improve the water flow distribution characteristics of the aerator, enhance the uniformity and stability of the water output, and meet the user's needs for different water output modes.

[0052] To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand and implement this invention, the specific implementation principle of this invention will be further explained below in conjunction with a specific application scenario.

[0053] In practical applications, users can switch between different water flow modes by rotating the water outlet body 3. When a gentle shower is needed, the water outlet rectifier 1 is fixed to the water inlet body 2 via a threaded or snap-fit ​​connection, and the jet hole 21 is precisely aligned with the diverter hole 11. At this time, the water flows into the water inlet body 2, passes through the jet hole 21, and is concentrated and sprayed into the diverter hole 11. The design of the diverter hole 11 decomposes the water flow into multiple independent flow paths, which are distributed along a direction perpendicular to the axis of the water outlet rectifier 1, thereby initially improving the uniformity of the water flow.

[0054] Subsequently, the water flow distributed by the diversion orifice 11 enters the first rectifying groove 13 and the second rectifying groove 14 of the partition ring 12. The first rectifying groove 13 is located on the outer side of the partition ring 12, and its flow area is larger than that of the inner second rectifying groove 14, thus it can carry more water flow. The first rib 15 and the second rib 16 are respectively set on the outer wall and the inner wall of the partition ring 12, forming a regularly arranged guide groove structure. This design ensures that the water flow is further regulated as it passes through the first rectifying groove 13 and the second rectifying groove 14, and its direction tends to be consistent, while meeting the water flow distribution requirements of different flow rates.

[0055] When water enters the first slow-flow chamber 35 and the second slow-flow chamber 36, the water flow is buffered and evenly distributed within the chambers because the height of both chambers is greater than that of the first rectifying groove 13 and the second rectifying groove 14. This design effectively avoids the phenomenon of incomplete water jets caused by unstable water pressure. In particular, the larger volume of the first slow-flow chamber 35 compared to the second slow-flow chamber 36 ensures that the water flow from each outlet of the outer ring water outlet channel 31 is uniform, resulting in a soft, fine, and silky shower spray.

[0056] Within the outer ring water outlet channel 31, the water flow enters the mixing chamber 17 after being rectified by the first rectifying groove 13 and the second rectifying groove 14. The height of the mixing chamber 17 is designed to be greater than that of the first rectifying groove 13, the second rectifying groove 14, and the water outlet, allowing the water flow to mix again before flowing out, thus achieving a more uniform and stable water output. In addition, a sealing ring 19 is embedded in the sealing groove 18 on the outside of the water outlet rectifying component 1. The outer diameter of the sealing ring 19 is tightly fitted with the inner diameter of the water outlet body 3 to prevent water leakage and ensure the reliability of the device operation.

[0057] When the user needs to switch to sparkling water mode, simply rotate the water outlet 3 to align the inner water outlet channel 32 with the water inlet 2. At this time, water flows directly through the inner ring wall 34 into the inner ring water channel, and sparkling water flows out from the inner ring.

[0058] In summary, this invention achieves efficient rectification and uniform distribution of water flow through the synergistic effect of structures such as the diversion orifice 11, the first rectifying groove 13, the second rectifying groove 14, the slow-flow cavity, and the mixing cavity 17. Whether providing a full water column under low water pressure conditions or meeting the demand for high impact force under high water pressure conditions, this rectifying device exhibits excellent performance.

[0059] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the technical features of this utility model are not limited thereto. Any simple changes, equivalent substitutions, or modifications made based on this utility model to solve essentially the same technical problems and achieve essentially the same technical effects are all covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
