Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom technology, specifically to an angle valve and a toilet companion. Background Technology

[0002] Angle valves, as key components for controlling water flow in pipeline systems, were originally designed as single-outlet structures and were mainly used in ordinary toilets, washbasins, and other similar scenarios. They control the opening and closing of water flow through a single switch, resulting in a simple structure but limited functionality.

[0003] With the diversification of bathroom products, especially the widespread use of toilet flushing devices, traditional single-outlet angle valves can no longer meet the needs of dual-outlet applications. Therefore, dual-outlet angle valves have emerged on the market, controlling two water outlets with a single switch: one connected to the toilet tank and the other to the bidet nozzle. This design subjects the water pipes to higher water pressure, and sudden pressure changes during opening and closing can cause pipe vibration or even pipe bursts. Furthermore, the two outlets cannot be independently adjusted, impacting the user experience.

[0004] Existing document CN201921792412.8 discloses a rotatable flushing spray gun assembly. The water valve is a three-way angle valve, including a water supply pipe, a first water outlet, a second water outlet, a first handwheel controlling the water flow from the first water outlet, and a second handwheel controlling the water flow from the second water outlet. The first water outlet supplies water to the flushing spray gun, and the second water outlet supplies water to the toilet tank. The first and second handwheels constitute a dual-switch three-way angle valve controlling two water outlets. The dual-switch three-way angle valve typically uses a conventional ceramic disc valve core.

[0005] The applicant in this case discovered that, based on the aforementioned situation, especially in smart toilets, there are different requirements for water quality and flow rate. Current angle valve designs still cannot meet these practical needs, resulting in insufficient practical performance. Therefore, this application conducts in-depth research on the above problems and proposes an angle valve and toilet companion, thus giving rise to this case. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an angle valve and toilet companion, which adopts a differentiated valve core design to enable two water outlets to perform excellent practical functions.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the solution of this utility model is:

[0008] An angle valve has a valve body, which has an inlet, a first outlet and a second outlet connected to the inlet water passage; a first valve core is provided between the inlet and the first outlet, and a second valve core different from the first valve core is provided between the inlet and the second outlet.

[0009] The valve core flow rate of the first valve core is less than that of the second valve core.

[0010] The first valve core is a ceramic disc valve core.

[0011] The second valve core is a spherical valve core.

[0012] The first valve core is connected to a first valve core switch that controls the opening and closing of the first valve core, and the second valve core is connected to a second valve core switch that controls the opening and closing of the second valve core.

[0013] The first water outlet and the second water outlet are located on the upper and lower sides of the water inlet, respectively. The first water outlet and the first valve core switch are located on the side and top of the valve body, respectively. The second water outlet and the second valve core switch are located on the bottom and side of the valve body, respectively.

[0014] The first water outlet is located on the side of the valve body, which is called the first side, and the second valve core switch is located on the side of the valve body, which is called the second side. The first side and the second side are staggered vertically and opposite to each other on the valve body.

[0015] The valve body is provided with a receiving cavity for accommodating the spherical valve core. The spherical valve core has an inlet end and an outlet end that can be connected to the inlet and the second outlet respectively. The second valve core switch is a switch knob. A drive rod for driving the spherical valve core to rotate and open / close is connected between the spherical valve core and the switch knob.

[0016] A first sealing ring is provided between the first valve core and the water inlet; a second sealing ring and a third sealing ring are respectively provided between the second valve core and the water inlet and the second water outlet.

[0017] The first and second water outlets are respectively provided with connecting threads.

[0018] A toilet companion includes an angle valve, a spray gun, a first connecting pipe for connecting the spray gun, and a second connecting pipe for connecting to a toilet; the first connecting pipe is connected to a first outlet of the angle valve, and the second connecting pipe is connected to a second outlet of the angle valve.

[0019] After adopting the above solution, the advantages of this new type of angle valve and toilet companion compared with the prior art are as follows: the angle valve has a dual water outlet design, and the first and second valve cores corresponding to the two water outlets are different valve cores, which can adjust the water flow characteristics according to the functional requirements of different water circuits, optimize water flow control, improve durability, and adapt to the needs of different usage scenarios.

[0020] Furthermore, the first and second valve cores have different flow rates; that is, the flow rate of the first valve core is less than that of the second valve core. This novel angle valve uses a combination of valve cores with different flow characteristics. When applied in a toilet companion, the low-flow-rate first valve core is connected to the spray gun side for precise control, preventing excessive water flow that could cause splashing or waste. The high-flow-rate second valve core is connected to the toilet side to reduce water flow resistance, thus ensuring that the toilet can fill with water quickly without affecting the toilet's flushing efficiency.

[0024] Label Explanation

[0025] Valve body 1, inlet 10, first outlet 11, connecting thread 111, second outlet 12, connecting thread 121, accommodating cavity 13; first valve core 2, second valve core 3, inlet end 31, outlet end 32; first valve core switch 4, second valve core switch 5; first sealing ring 61, second sealing ring 61, third sealing ring 63; drive rod 7; angle valve 100, spray gun 200, first connecting pipe 300, second connecting pipe 400. Detailed Implementation

[0026] The following detailed description of this case is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] This case involves an angle valve, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, the device has a valve body 1, which has an inlet 10, a first outlet 11 and a second outlet 12 connected to the inlet 10. A first valve core 2 is provided between the inlet 10 and the first outlet 11, and a second valve core 3, which is different from the first valve core 2, is provided between the inlet 10 and the second outlet 12.

[0028] The key technical feature of this novel angle valve lies in its design concept, which emphasizes different valve core combinations composed of different first valve cores 2 and second valve cores 3. The first outlet 11 and the second outlet 12 can be selected with appropriate valve cores according to different functions or usage scenarios. Here, the valve cores can be various valve core structures known in existing public technologies.

[0029] Therefore, this new type of angle valve with dual outlets adopts a differentiated valve core design, which can adjust the water flow characteristics according to the functional requirements of different water circuits, optimize water flow control, improve durability, and adapt to the needs of different usage scenarios, so that each of the two outlets can perform excellent practical functions.

[0030] Furthermore, the first valve core 2 and the second valve core 3 are valve cores with different flow rates, meaning the flow rate of the first valve core 2 is less than that of the second valve core 3. When this combination of valve cores with different flow characteristics is used in a toilet companion, the lower-flow-rate first valve core 2 connects to the spray gun side, enabling precise control and preventing excessive water flow that could cause splashing or waste. The lower-flow-rate first valve core 2 also limits the initial water flow impact, preventing sudden high-pressure water discharge that could cause splashing, thus improving user comfort, especially suitable for sensitive scenarios such as feminine wash. The higher-flow-rate second valve core 3 connects to the toilet side, optimizing the toilet's water flow channel and reducing water flow resistance. This ensures that the toilet can fill quickly, and the toilet tank fills quickly without affecting the toilet's flushing efficiency and stability.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the first valve core 2 is a ceramic disc valve core. The stable sealing performance of the ceramic disc valve core can maintain stable water pressure under low flow rate and achieve linear flow rate adjustment. It is suitable for applications that require a gentle and continuous water flow. Users can fine-tune the water pressure as needed, such as for feminine wash or cleaning, thus optimizing the user experience of the spray gun.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the second valve core 3 is a ball valve core, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the circular through-hole structure of the spherical valve core is completely consistent with the inner diameter of the valve body water passage, achieving zero flow loss, significantly improving water flow efficiency, greatly increasing water injection speed, and meeting the demand for instantaneous large flow.

[0033] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the first valve core 2 is connected to a first valve core switch 4 that controls the opening and closing of the first valve core 2, and the second valve core 3 is connected to a second valve core switch 5 that controls the opening and closing of the second valve core 3. The first valve core 2 and the second valve core 3 are controlled by their respective independent valve core switches, realizing precise flow control management and safety assurance.

[0034] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the first outlet 11 and the second outlet 12 are located on the upper and lower sides of the inlet 10, respectively. The first outlet 11 and the first valve core switch 4 are located on the side and top of the valve body 1, respectively. The second outlet 12 and the second valve core switch 5 are located on the bottom and side of the valve body 1, respectively. The structural design features an optimized spatial layout.

[0035] The first water outlet 11 and the first valve core switch 4 are designed on the side and top, respectively. The top knob of the first valve core 2 is designed to conform to the natural operating posture of the human body, allowing for blind operation when held with one hand, which is particularly suitable for scenarios that require frequent adjustment of the spray gun water flow. The side-mounted first valve core switch 4 and the top valve core switch are vertically separated, which can prevent water from splashing onto the switch parts during operation.

[0036] The second water outlet 12 and the second valve core switch 5 are designed at the bottom and side, respectively. The water outlet at the bottom of the second water outlet 12 is directly connected to the toilet inlet hose, avoiding interference with the wall distance and adapting to various installation spacings, thus offering good versatility. The second valve core switch 5 is spatially isolated from the first valve core switch 4, providing a safety function to prevent accidental activation.

[0037] Furthermore, the first outlet 11 is located on the side of the valve body 1, which is the first side, and the second valve core switch 5 is located on the side of the valve body 1, which is the second side. The first side and the second side are vertically offset and opposite to each other on the valve body 1. This overall structure of the angle valve allows for visual functional zoning, enabling users to distinguish functions without marking them, thus improving usability.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, a first sealing ring 61 is provided between the first valve core 4 and the water inlet 10. A second sealing ring 61 and a third sealing ring 63 are respectively provided between the second valve core 5 and the water inlet 10 and the second water outlet 12. The sealing effect of the corresponding internal water passages is achieved through the arrangement of these sealing rings.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the first outlet 11 is provided with a connecting thread 111. Similarly, the second outlet 12 is provided with a connecting thread 121. This facilitates quick-release connections between the first outlet 11 and the second outlet 12 in the application of the angle valve.

[0040] The second valve core 3 is a ball valve core, such as Figure 2 As shown, the specific connection design is as follows: the valve body 1 has a receiving cavity 13 for accommodating the spherical valve core 3. The spherical valve core 3 has an inlet end 31 and an outlet end 32 that can be connected to the inlet 10 and the second outlet 12, respectively. The second valve core switch 5 is a switch knob, and a drive rod 7 that drives the spherical valve core 3 to rotate and open / close is connected between the spherical valve core 3 and the switch knob. Rotating the second valve core switch 5 drives the spherical valve core 3 to rotate via the drive rod 7, thereby realizing opening / closing and flow regulation. When the spherical valve core 3 rotates to the point where the inlet end 31 is completely aligned with the inlet 10 and the outlet end 32 is completely aligned with the second outlet 12, the second outlet 12 is fully open, which is the maximum flow state; when they are completely misaligned, it is in the closed state.

[0041] This invention also provides a toilet companion, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the device includes an angle valve 100, a spray gun 200, a first connecting pipe 300 connected to the spray gun 200, and a second connecting pipe 400 for connecting to the toilet. The angle valve 100 is an angle valve as described above, the first connecting pipe 300 is connected to the first outlet 11 of the angle valve, and the second connecting pipe 400 is connected to the second outlet 12 of the angle valve.

[0042] This new toilet companion, through its differentiated valve core combination, can balance efficient flushing and precise spray gun control, while also enhancing safety, water conservation, and intelligent potential, meeting both practical and high-end needs of modern bathrooms.
