Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of shower technology, and more specifically, to a water outlet device and a shower device. Background Technology
[0002] Consumers are increasingly demanding higher standards for water dispensing devices, and are constantly improving and enhancing the water output. Some water dispensing devices have a filtration function, meaning they have a filter cartridge inside to filter the water.
[0003] However, in most related technologies, filter replacement is done via threaded connections. When replacement is needed, the water outlet assembly is unscrewed, the old filter is removed, the new filter is attached to the assembly, and then the assembly is secured back to the housing with threads. This method requires thread alignment and multiple rotations, making installation and disassembly laborious, time-consuming, and inconvenient for consumers. Utility Model Content
[0004] This application provides a water outlet device and a shower device. The technical solution provided by this application can reduce the difficulty of replacing the filter element, making the replacement of the filter element convenient and labor-saving.
[0005] This application is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] In a first aspect, some embodiments of this application provide a water dispensing device. The water dispensing device includes a housing and a water dispensing assembly. A receiving cavity is formed inside the housing, and the housing has an opening communicating with the receiving cavity and a water inlet. The water dispensing assembly includes a panel body and a filter element. The water dispensing assembly is inserted into the opening such that the filter element is located within the receiving cavity, and the water inlet communicates with the panel body through the filter element. The water dispensing device further includes a first locking member, a second locking member, and an unlocking member. The first locking member is movably disposed in the housing, the second locking member is connected to the panel body, and the first locking member is used to lock the second locking member to lock the water dispensing assembly and the housing together. The unlocking member is disposed in the panel body and at least partially exposed on the outside of the water dispensing assembly, and the unlocking member is used to engage with the first locking member to release the first locking member from locking the second locking member.
[0007] The above provides a water dispensing device in which consumers can quickly unlock the water dispensing component and the outer shell by linking the unlocking part with the first locking part, thereby enabling the replacement of the filter element without the need for thread alignment and multiple rotations, making the replacement of the filter element convenient and labor-saving.
[0008] According to some embodiments of this application, the first locking member includes a first elastic member and a slider. The slider is disposed at one end of the housing near the opening via the first elastic member, and the side of the slider facing away from the opening is used to abut against the second locking member.
[0009] In the above solution, the first locking component and the second locking component have simple structures. The water outlet component and the outer shell are locked or unlocked by the elastic force of the first elastic component or by overcoming the elastic force of the first elastic component, thereby making the replacement of the filter element convenient and labor-saving.
[0010] According to some embodiments of this application, the inner wall of the housing is formed with a groove, the slider is slidably engaged with the groove along the radial direction of the housing, and is configured to extend out of the groove under the action of the first elastic member to abut against the second locking member.
[0011] In the above solution, a groove is provided on the inner wall of the outer casing to guide the slider, thereby facilitating the locking or unlocking of the water outlet component and the outer casing, resulting in high structural reliability of the water outlet device.
[0012] According to some embodiments of this application, there are multiple first locking elements, which are spaced apart along the circumference of the opening.
[0013] In the above scheme, multiple first locking members are arranged circumferentially along the opening, which can effectively support the second locking members, thereby enabling a stable and reliable connection between the water outlet assembly and the shell, which is beneficial to improving the structural reliability of the water outlet device.
[0014] According to some embodiments of this application, the outer peripheral ring of the second locking member is provided with a flange, and a first inclined surface is formed on the side of the flange facing away from the panel body. A second inclined surface is formed on the side of the slider facing the opening, and the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface cooperate to push the slider to slide.
[0015] In the above solution, by providing a flange around the outer periphery of the second locking member and a first inclined surface on the flange, and a second inclined surface on the slider, it is convenient that when the water outlet component is inserted into the opening of the outer shell, the second locking member can push the slider into place, so that the slider can be reset under the action of the first elastic member to abut the second locking member and achieve locking. On the other hand, it allows consumers to push the slider from any position of the second locking member without aligning the water outlet component and the outer shell, thereby locking the water outlet component and the outer shell, making filter replacement convenient and labor-saving.
[0016] According to some embodiments of this application, the unlocking element includes a button and a push plate. The button is movably connected to the panel body and exposed on the outside of the panel body. The push plate is used to drive the push plate to push the slider so that the slider disengages from the second locking element.
[0017] In the above solution, the consumer presses a button to drive the push plate to move, so that the push plate overcomes the elastic force of the first elastic element to push the slider to slide, thereby realizing the separation of the slider from the second locking element, completing the unlocking, and thus making the unlocking of the water outlet component and the outer shell convenient and effortless, making the replacement of the filter element convenient and effortless.
[0018] According to some embodiments of this application, the second locking member and the push plate are located between the filter element and the panel body, and a third inclined surface is formed on the side of the push plate facing the push plate. The third inclined surface cooperates with the second inclined surface to push the slider to slide.
[0019] In the above solution, by setting a third inclined surface on the push plate to cooperate with the second inclined surface, the push plate can effectively overcome the elastic force of the first elastic element to push the slider to slide, thereby realizing the separation of the slider from the second locking element and completing the unlocking. This makes it convenient and effortless to unlock the water outlet component and the outer shell, and makes the replacement of the filter element convenient and effortless.
[0020] According to some embodiments of this application, a second elastic member is provided between the second locking member and the push plate.
[0021] In the above solution, by setting a second elastic element between the second locking element and the push plate, it is easy for the second locking element and the first locking element to lock together when the water outlet component is inserted into the opening. This also makes it easy for the push plate to push the slider to unlock the second locking element and the first locking element, making the replacement of the filter element convenient and labor-saving.
[0022] According to some embodiments of this application, the unlocking component also includes a rocker arm, which is rotatably connected to the panel body. One end of the rocker arm engages with a button, and the other end of the rocker arm is used to push the push plate.
[0023] In the above scheme, by setting a rocker between the push plate and the button, the pressing direction of the button is opposite to the unlocking direction of the push plate, so that the button's position does not interfere with the water outlet part of the water outlet device, which is beneficial to the overall structural layout of the water outlet device.
[0024] According to some embodiments of this application, the second locking element is a filter element holder, which is used to support the filter element.
[0025] In the above scheme, the second locking component is a filter element holder, which integrates the functions of locking and supporting the filter element, thus simplifying the structure of the water outlet device.
[0026] Secondly, some embodiments of this application provide a shower device including the water outlet device of any of the first aspects.

[0045] Please see Figures 1-7 , Figure 1 This is a perspective view of the water outlet device 100 in some embodiments of this application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the water outlet device 100 in some embodiments of this application. Figure 3 for Figure 2 A sectional view from the BB direction. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram showing the water outlet device 100 being unlocked in some embodiments of this application. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram showing the water outlet component 20 and the outer casing 10 separated in some embodiments of this application. Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram showing the water outlet component 20 inserted into the housing 10 in some embodiments of this application. Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the water outlet component 20 inserted into the housing 10 in some embodiments of this application.
[0046] The water outlet device 100 includes a housing 10 and a water outlet assembly 20. The housing 10 has an internal cavity 11 and an opening 12 communicating with the cavity 11, and a water inlet 13. The water outlet assembly 20 includes a panel body 21 and a filter element 22. The water outlet assembly 20 is inserted into the opening 12 such that the filter element 22 is located within the cavity 11. The water inlet 13 communicates with the panel body 21 through the filter element 22. The water outlet device 100 further includes a first locking member 30, a second locking member 40, and an unlocking member 50. The first locking member 30 is movably disposed on the outer casing 10, and the second locking member 40 is connected to the panel body 21. The first locking member 30 is used to lock the second locking member 40 to lock the water outlet assembly 20 and the outer casing 10 together. The unlocking member 50 is disposed on the panel body 21 and is at least partially exposed on the outside of the water outlet assembly 20. The unlocking member 50 is used to work in conjunction with the first locking member 30 to release the first locking member 30 from locking the second locking member 40.
[0047] Optionally, the upper end of the housing 10 is provided with a water inlet 13, which can be a water inlet connector for connecting to domestic water pipes. The lower end of the housing 10 is provided with an opening 12 for the insertion of the filter element 22 of the water outlet assembly 20.
[0048] Filter element 22 is used to connect the water inlet section 13 and the panel body 21. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 When the filter element 22 is installed in place, the end of the filter element 22 away from the panel body 21 can be inserted into the water inlet 13. It is sealed with the water inlet 13 by the sealing ring. The water discharged from the water inlet 13 can be filtered by the filter element 22 and then enter the panel body 21, and sprayed out from the water outlet 210 on the panel body 21.
[0049] The panel body 21 has a flow channel inside, which is used to receive the water flow after being filtered by the filter element 22. A water outlet 210 is provided on the side of the panel away from the filter element 22, which is used for water to be sprayed out.
[0050] The filter element 22 is detachably connected to the panel body 21. The connection relationship between the filter element 22 and the panel body 21 includes, but is not limited to, snap-fit, threaded connection, direct contact, and other connection relationships that facilitate the removal of the filter element 22 from the panel body 21.
[0051] For example, the panel body 21 includes a filter element seat 41 with a groove, in which the filter element 22 is placed, and the filter element seat 41 has a water passage hole that connects the internal flow channel of the panel body 21 and the filter element 22.
[0052] The first locking element 30 is movably disposed on the housing 10 and can be switched between a first position and a second position. The second locking element 40 is disposed on the water outlet panel.
[0053] Please see Figure 2 When the first locking member 30 is in the first position, it can lock and engage with the second locking member 40 to fix the water outlet assembly 20 to the housing 10, thereby ensuring that the filter element 22 is stably positioned within the housing 10. (See also...) Figure 4 When the first locking member 30 is in the second position, it can be separated from the second locking member 40 to unlock, so that the water outlet assembly 20 can be separated from the housing 10, thereby allowing the filter element 22 to be replaced.
[0054] The unlocking component 50 is disposed on the panel body 21 and is at least partially exposed on the outside of the water outlet component 20 for the consumer to trigger, thereby causing the unlocking component 50 to be linked with the first locking component 30, causing the first locking component 30 to switch from the first position to the second position, thus unlocking.
[0055] In some embodiments, the unlocking component 50 includes, but is not limited to, an electronic unlocking structure or a physical unlocking structure. Optionally, the unlocking component 50 includes a physical unlocking structure, which moves the first locking component 30 by pressing, flicking, or other actions, thereby switching the first locking component 30 to a first position and a second position. Optionally, the unlocking component 50 includes an electronic unlocking structure, and the first locking component 30 includes an electronic drive mechanism. The unlocking component 50 is triggered to send an unlocking command to the first locking component 30, so that, under the operation of the electronic drive mechanism, the first locking component 30 can switch between its first position and its second position.
[0056] In some embodiments, when the unlocking member 50 is not triggered, the positional relationship of the portion of the unlocking member 50 exposed outside the water outlet assembly 20 relative to the outer contour of the water outlet assembly 20 includes, but is not limited to, protruding from the outer contour of the water outlet assembly 20, being flush with the outer contour of the water outlet assembly 20, or being recessed into the outer contour of the water outlet assembly 20.
[0057] In some embodiments, when the unlocking member 50 is triggered, the positional relationship of the portion of the unlocking member 50 exposed outside the water outlet assembly 20 relative to the outer contour of the water outlet assembly 20 includes, but is not limited to, protruding from the outer contour of the water outlet assembly 20, being flush with the outer contour of the water outlet assembly 20, or being recessed into the outer contour of the water outlet assembly 20.
[0058] The above provides a water outlet device 100. Consumers can quickly unlock the water outlet component 20 and the outer shell 10 by linking the unlocking part 50 with the first locking part 30, thereby enabling the replacement of the filter element 22 without the need for thread alignment and multiple rotation actions, thus making the replacement of the filter element 22 convenient and labor-saving.
[0059] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 The first locking member 30 includes a first elastic member 31 and a slider 32. The slider 32 is disposed on the end of the housing 10 near the opening 12 via the first elastic member 31. The side of the slider 32 facing away from the opening 12 is used to abut against the second locking member 40.
[0060] In some embodiments, the first elastic member 31 provides an elastic force to the slider 32, causing the slider 32 to tend to remain in a first position, thereby maintaining contact with the second locking member 40, i.e., maintaining the locking of the second locking member 40. When the unlocking member 50 pushes the slider 32 to move and overcomes the elastic force of the first elastic member 31, causing it to slide to a second position, the slider 32 separates from the second locking member 40.
[0061] Optionally, please see Figure 2 When the slider 32 is in the first position and the water outlet assembly 20 is inserted into the housing 10, the second locking member 40 is located on the slider 32, and the slider 32 can support the second locking member 40.
[0062] Optionally, the first elastic element 31 is a spring, with one end fixed inside the outer casing 10 and the other end fixed to the slider 32. The direction of the elastic force provided by the spring can be parallel to the radial direction of the opening 12, or at a certain angle to the radial direction of the opening 12, so that the slider 32 can reciprocate in the radial direction of the opening 12 to achieve the switching between the first position and the second position.
[0063] In the above scheme, the first locking component 30 and the second locking component 40 have simple structures. The water outlet component 20 and the outer shell 10 are locked or unlocked by the elastic force of the first elastic component 31 or by overcoming the elastic force of the first elastic component 31, thereby making the replacement of the filter element 22 convenient and labor-saving.
[0064] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 5 The inner wall of the outer casing 10 is formed with a groove 14. The slider 32 is slidably engaged with the groove 14 along the radial direction of the outer casing 10 and is configured to extend out of the groove 14 under the action of the first elastic member 31 to abut against the second locking member 40.
[0065] In some embodiments, the interior of the housing 10 is provided with a groove 14, and the slider 32 can slide and engage with the wall of the groove 14 so that the slider 32 can move radially along the opening 12.
[0066] In some embodiments, the first elastic member 31 is located in the slide groove 14, and the slider 32 can extend partially or completely out of the slide groove 14 under the elastic force of the first elastic member 31 to abut against the second locking member 40.
[0067] In the above scheme, a groove 14 is provided on the inner wall of the outer casing 10 to guide the slider 32, thereby facilitating the locking or unlocking of the water outlet component 20 and the outer casing 10, resulting in high structural reliability of the water outlet device 100.
[0068] According to some embodiments of this application, there are multiple first locking elements 30, which are spaced apart along the circumference of the opening 12.
[0069] In some embodiments, there are multiple first locking members 30, and the multiple first locking members 30 are arranged at circumferential intervals along the opening 12 so as to uniformly support the second locking members 40 in the circumferential direction of the opening 12.
[0070] Optionally, two symmetrically arranged slide grooves 14 are formed on the inner wall of the outer casing 10 along the circumference of the opening 12, and a spring and a slider 32 are arranged in each slide groove 14.
[0071] In the above scheme, multiple first locking members 30 are arranged circumferentially along the opening 12, which can effectively support the second locking member 40, thereby enabling a stable and reliable connection between the water outlet assembly 20 and the outer shell 10, which is beneficial to improving the structural reliability of the water outlet device 100.
[0072] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 5 The outer periphery of the second locking member 40 is provided with a flange 410, and a first inclined surface 411 is formed on the side of the flange 410 facing away from the panel body 21. A second inclined surface 320 is formed on the side of the slider 32 facing the opening 12. The first inclined surface 411 and the second inclined surface 320 cooperate to push the slider 32 to slide.
[0073] In some embodiments, a flange 410 is provided on the outer periphery of the second locking member 40, and a first inclined surface 411 is formed on the upper side of the flange 410. A second inclined surface 320 is formed on the lower side of the slider 32. The first inclined surface 411 and the second inclined surface 320 cooperate with each other so that when the water outlet assembly 20 is inserted into the opening 12, the first inclined surface 411 can fit against the second inclined surface 320, thereby pushing the slider 32 toward the interior of the groove 14 to compress the first elastic member 31, so that the water outlet assembly 20 can continue to be inserted into the housing 10, and the second locking member 40 can be positioned above the slider 32 so that the slider 32 abuts against the first locking member 30.
[0074] In the above solution, by providing a flange 410 around the outer periphery of the second locking member 40 and a first inclined surface 411 on the flange 410, and a second inclined surface 320 on the slider 32, it is convenient that when the water outlet assembly 20 is inserted into the opening 12 of the outer shell 10, the second locking member 40 can push the slider 32 into place, so that the slider 32 can be reset under the action of the first elastic member 31 to abut the second locking member 40 and achieve locking. On the other hand, it allows consumers to avoid aligning the water outlet assembly 20 and the outer shell 10, so that the slider 32 can be pushed from any position of the second locking member 40 to achieve locking between the water outlet assembly 20 and the outer shell 10, thereby making the replacement of the filter element 22 convenient and labor-saving.
[0075] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figures 1-4 The unlocking member 50 includes a button and a push plate 52. The button is movably connected to the panel body 21 and exposed on the outside of the panel body 21. The push plate 52 is used to drive the push plate 52 to push the slider 32 so that the slider 32 disengages from the second locking member 40.
[0076] In some embodiments, the unlocking member 50 includes a button and a push plate 52. The button is movably disposed on the panel body 21 and exposed on the outside of the panel body 21 for easy pressing by a consumer. The button is in communication with the push plate 52. When the button is pressed, the push plate 52 can move to push the slider 32, causing the slider 32 to overcome the elastic force of the first elastic member 31, thereby separating the slider 32 from the second locking member 40 and unlocking the device.
[0077] Optionally, the button can be located on the side of the panel body 21 opposite to the filter element 22.
[0078] Optionally, the button can be located on the upper surface of the panel body 21.
[0079] Optionally, the push plate 52 is movably connected to the panel body 21. For example, a guide rail is provided between the push plate 52 and the panel body 21. The push plate 52 can move stably under the action of the button and under the guidance of the guide rail, thereby stably pushing the slider 32 to move.
[0080] In the above scheme, the consumer presses the button to drive the push plate 52 to move, so that the push plate 52 overcomes the elastic force of the first elastic element 31 to push the slider 32 to slide, thereby realizing the separation of the slider 32 from the second locking element 40, completing the unlocking, and thus realizing the easy and effortless unlocking of the water outlet component 20 and the outer shell 10, making the replacement of the filter element 22 easy and effortless.
[0081] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figures 2-6 The second locking member 40 and the push plate 52 are located between the filter element 22 and the panel body 21. A third inclined surface 520 is formed on the side of the push plate 52 facing the push plate 52. The third inclined surface 520 cooperates with the second inclined surface 320 to push the slider 32 to slide.
[0082] In some embodiments, the edge of the push plate 52 is formed with a third inclined surface 520. When the push plate 52 is pressed by a button, the third inclined surface 520 can fit against the second inclined surface 320, thereby pushing the slider 32 to slide into the groove 14 so that the slider 32 is disengaged from the second locking member 40.
[0083] In the above scheme, by setting a third inclined surface 520 on the push plate 52 to cooperate with the second inclined surface 320, the push plate 52 can effectively overcome the elastic force of the first elastic member 31 to push the slider 32 to slide, thereby realizing the separation of the slider 32 from the second locking member 40 and completing the unlocking, thus realizing the easy and effortless unlocking of the water outlet component 20 and the outer shell 10, making the replacement of the filter element 22 easy and effortless.
[0084] According to some embodiments of this application, a second elastic member 60 is provided between the second locking member 40 and the push plate 52.
[0085] Optionally, a spring is provided between the second locking member 40 and the push plate 52. The spring is capable of providing an elastic force to the second locking member 40 that is away from the push plate 52.
[0086] In the above solution, by setting a second elastic member 60 between the second locking member 40 and the push plate 52, it is possible to facilitate the mutual locking of the second locking member 40 and the first locking member 30 when the water outlet assembly 20 is inserted into the opening 12. In other words, the push plate 52 pushes the slider 32 to unlock the second locking member 40 and the first locking member 30, making the replacement of the filter element 22 convenient and labor-saving.
[0087] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figures 2-6 The unlocking component 50 also includes a rocker 53, which is rotatably connected to the panel body 21. One end of the rocker 53 engages with a button, and the other end of the rocker 53 is used to push the push plate 52 to move.
[0088] Optionally, see Figure 3 The rocker 53 has pivots 530 on both sides, and the pivots 530 are hinged to the panel body 21.
[0089] In the above scheme, by setting a rocker plate 53 between the push plate 52 and the button, the pressing direction of the button is opposite to the unlocking direction of the push plate 52, so that the button's arrangement position does not interfere with the water outlet part of the water outlet device 100, which is beneficial to the overall structural layout of the water outlet device 100.
[0090] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 5 The second locking component 40 is a filter element holder 41, which is used to support the filter element 22.
[0091] In the above scheme, the second locking component 40 is the filter element seat 41, which integrates the functions of locking and supporting the filter element 22, thus simplifying the structure of the water outlet device 100.
[0092] Some embodiments of this application also provide a shower device, including the water outlet device 100 of any of the first aspects.
[0093] Optionally, the shower device includes an overhead shower, and the water outlet device 100 can be an overhead shower head.
[0094] Some embodiments of this application provide a water outlet device 100; please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 1-6 .
[0095] The replacement process for filter element 22 of water outlet device 100 can be as follows:
[0096] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 Pressing the button pushes one end of the rocker arm 53 downwards, causing it to rotate and move the other end upwards. The other end of the rocker arm 53 pushes the push plate 52 upwards. Simultaneously, the third inclined surface 520 of the push plate 52 presses against the second inclined surface 320 of the slider 32, causing the slider 32 to press against the first elastic element 31 and move, thus preventing the slider 32 from supporting the filter element seat 41. (See also...) Figure 5 At this point, pulling down the water outlet assembly 20 will allow you to remove the entire assembly (including the filter element 22). The filter element 22 can then be replaced.
[0097] After replacing filter element 22, please refer to Figure 6 When the water outlet assembly 20 is pushed upwards, the second elastic element 60 supports the filter element seat 41. Under manual pushing force, the first inclined surface 411 of the filter element seat 41 presses against the second inclined surface 320 of the slider 32, causing the slider 32 to press against the first elastic element 31 and move. After continuing to move upwards, the hand is released. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 7 The slider 32 moves under the elastic force of the first elastic element 31 and supports the filter element seat 41.
[0098] The water outlet device 100 provided in this application has the following advantages:
[0099] 1: By pressing the button, the rocker 53 is moved down, and at the same time, the rocker 53 rotates, causing the push plate 52 to move up, opening the slider 32 to remove the water outlet assembly 20 and then the filter element 22. This allows for convenient and labor-saving operation.
[0100] 2. Push the water outlet assembly 20 upwards. The filter element holder 41 moves upwards, causing the slider 32 to move. Continue moving it upwards and then release your hand. Under the action of elastic force, the slider 32 moves and supports the filter element holder 41. At this point, the product is fully installed. Furthermore, the water outlet assembly 20 can be installed blindly without needing to align the direction, making it convenient and labor-saving.
[0101] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
