Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom product technology, and more specifically, to a top-spray device that can be turned off and stopped instantly. Background Technology
[0002] After the faucet handle is turned off, water remains inside the showerhead cavity, causing dripping to continue for a considerable period, or occasionally dripping for an extended time after being turned off. This can generate noise and wet the floor, making the bathroom floor damp. To address this, Chinese patent CN209333995U discloses a water-stopping showerhead. This design incorporates a water-stop valve. When water enters the showerhead, the valve moves downwards under water pressure to open the inlet of the upper inlet cover while simultaneously closing the drain outlet of the lower outlet cover. When the water flow is stopped, the valve moves upwards under the action of an elastic element to block the inlet while simultaneously opening the drain outlet, allowing residual water in the cavity to drain quickly. While blocking the inlet prevents further water from entering the cavity when the water is turned off, the water inside still needs to be drained through the outlet after the water is turned off. Opening the drain outlet only increases the drainage area and cannot completely drain the water from the cavity immediately; therefore, the immediate shut-off effect is not ideal. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model discloses a top spray device that can be turned off and stopped immediately, aiming to improve the problem of poor immediate-stop effect of existing water-stopping shower heads. The present invention adopts the following solution: A top-spray device that can be turned off and on immediately includes a main body, a water outlet net, and a floating panel. The main body has a water inlet channel and a water outlet cavity communicating with the water inlet channel. The water outlet net is installed in the main body and has multiple water outlet holes. The floating panel has multiple water nozzles and sealing parts corresponding to each of the water outlet holes. Each sealing part protrudes from the side of the floating panel facing the water outlet net. The floating panel is configured to move downward under the action of water flow pressure when the water is turned on, so that the sealing parts are away from the water outlet holes. When the water is turned off, it moves upward under the action of an elastic element, so that the sealing parts block the water outlet holes, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the water nozzles and the water outlet holes.
[0004] As a further improvement, the floating panel has a connecting portion that passes through the water outlet net, a pressure cap is disposed on the connecting portion, and the elastic element is sleeved on the connecting portion and abuts against the water outlet net and the pressure cap.
[0005] As a further improvement, the pressure cap has a mounting groove at one end for inserting a wrench, and the other end is screwed to the connecting part.
[0006] As a further improvement, the floating panel is provided with a first assembly part, which is sleeved on the outside of a second assembly part provided along the periphery of the water outlet network.
[0007] As a further improvement, the top of the first assembly part is provided with a hanging part, which can abut and limit the movement of the floating panel with the second assembly part when the floating panel moves downward.
[0008] As a further improvement, the sealing part is a convex shape with an arc shape.
[0009] As a further improvement, a soft rubber component is fixed on the floating panel, and each of the water outlets and sealing parts is integrally formed with the soft rubber component.
[0010] As a further improvement, each of the aforementioned water outlets and sealing parts is integrally formed with the floating panel.
[0011] As a further improvement, at least two water outlets are provided along the circumferential direction of the sealing part, so that the water flow from the water outlet hole hits the sealing part and falls directly into the water outlet.
[0012] As a further improvement, the main body is provided with a fixed frame, a water outlet net, and a floating panel in sequence from the inside to the outside. The fixed frame is detachably mounted on the main body and forms the water outlet cavity with the water outlet net. The water outlet net is fixed to the fixed frame, and the floating panel is movably sleeved on the water outlet net.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention can achieve the following technical effects: This application utilizes a floating panel to allow the sealing part to simultaneously open the water outlet when the water flow is turned on and seal it when the water flow is turned off, preventing water from flowing from the outlet chamber to the spout after the water is shut off. The sealing part is positioned in a one-to-one correspondence with the water outlet, ensuring a tight seal for each outlet and guaranteeing immediate shut-off of the top spray device, effectively solving the dripping problem and improving the user experience. Furthermore, the structure is simple and low-cost, requiring only one additional water outlet screen compared to existing top spray devices. Moreover, when the water is turned off, the sealing part moves upward to seal the water outlet; compared to a structure that seals by moving downward, less residual water is discharged after the water is turned off, and the water stops more quickly.

[0019] Combination Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment provides a top-spray device that can be turned off and stopped instantly, including a body 1, a water outlet net 2, and a floating panel 3. The body 1 has a water inlet channel 11 and a water outlet cavity 12 communicating with the water inlet channel 11. The water outlet net 2 is installed inside the body 1 and has multiple water outlet holes 21. The floating panel 3 has multiple water outlet nozzles 31 and sealing parts 32 that correspond one-to-one with each water outlet hole 21. Each sealing part 32 protrudes from the side of the floating panel 3 facing the water outlet net 2. The floating panel 3 is configured to move downward under the action of water flow pressure when the water is turned on, so that the sealing parts 32 are away from the water outlet holes 21. When the water is turned off, it moves upward under the action of the elastic member 4, so that the sealing parts 32 block the water outlet holes 21, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the water outlet nozzles 31 and the water outlet holes 21. Specifically, when the water is turned on, water flows into the outlet chamber 12 from the inlet channel 11. At this time, under the action of water pressure, the floating panel 3 moves downward, that is, away from the outlet hole 21, so that the sealing part 32 is dislodged from the outlet hole 21. The water passage gap between the floating panel 3 and the outlet mesh 2 is opened, and the water outlet 31 is connected to the outlet hole 21, and water is flowing out. When the water is turned off, the water pressure decreases, and under the action of the elastic element 4, the floating panel 3 moves upward, so that the sealing part 32 blocks the outlet hole 21. The water passage gap between the floating panel 3 and the outlet mesh 2 is closed, and the water outlet 31 is isolated from the outlet hole 21, and no water flows out of the water outlet 31.
[0020] It should be noted that in this embodiment, by setting a floating panel 3, the sealing part 32 can simultaneously open the water outlet 21 when the water flow is turned on and seal the water outlet 21 when the water flow is turned off, so as to prevent the water in the water outlet chamber 12 from flowing to the water outlet 31 after the water is turned off. The sealing part 32 is configured one-to-one with the water outlet 21, which ensures the sealing effect of each water outlet 21, thereby ensuring that the top spray device can be turned off and stopped immediately, effectively solving the dripping problem and improving the user experience. At the same time, the structure is simple and low-cost, with only one additional water outlet mesh 2 compared to existing top spray devices. Furthermore, when the water is turned off, the sealing part 32 moves upward to seal the water outlet 21. Compared to a structure that moves downward to seal, less residual water is discharged after the water is turned off, and the water stops more quickly.
[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the floating panel 3 has a connecting portion 33 that passes through the water outlet net 2. A pressure cap 34 is disposed on the connecting portion 33, and an elastic member 4 is sleeved on the connecting portion 33 and abuts against the water outlet net 2 and the pressure cap 34. Further, one end of the pressure cap 34 is provided with an assembly groove 341 for inserting a wrench, and the other end is screwed to the connecting portion 33. The elastic member 4 is preferably a spring. During installation, the spring is first sleeved into the connecting portion 33, and then the pressure cap 34 is locked to the connecting portion 33. The assembly groove 341 facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the pressure cap 34, and the shape of the assembly groove 341 can be hexagonal.
[0022] In another embodiment, the floating panel 3 is provided with a first assembly part 35, which is sleeved on the outside of a second assembly part 22 disposed along the periphery of the water outlet net 2. A sealing element 23 is disposed between the first assembly part 35 and the second assembly part 22. The sealing element 23 can be an O-ring, Y-ring, star-ring, flat gasket, etc., without specific limitation, to ensure the sealing between the first assembly part 35 and the second assembly part 22 and prevent water from overflowing from the periphery when the gap between the floating panel 3 and the water outlet net 2 is opened.
[0023] In one embodiment, the top of the first assembly part 35 is provided with a hanging part 351. When the floating panel 3 moves downward, the hanging part 351 can abut against and limit its movement with the second assembly part 22. The hanging part 351 can be fixed to the first assembly part 35 by welding, but is not limited to this. The setting of the hanging part 351 allows the floating panel 3 to be subjected to force not only at the pressure cap 34 when it moves downward, but also to be able to hang on the water outlet net 2 around its periphery, thereby making the force more balanced and ensuring the connection strength of the floating panel 3. In this embodiment, the sealing element 23 can be a flat gasket. When water is discharged, the hanging part 351 abuts against the flat gasket to achieve a seal.
[0024] Based on the above embodiments, in an optional embodiment of this utility model, the sealing part 32 is an arc-shaped convex shape, which can ensure the fit when sealing the water outlet 21 and ensure the sealing effect. Preferably, the water outlet end of the water outlet 21 is set in a funnel shape so that the sealing part 32 can be smoothly inserted into the water outlet end of the water outlet 21, so as to further ensure the sealing performance between the sealing part 32 and the water outlet 21 and improve the immediate shut-off effect.
[0025] In a preferred embodiment, a flexible rubber component 36 is fixed on the floating panel 3, and each water outlet 31 and sealing part 32 is integrally formed with the flexible rubber component 36. The flexible rubber component 36 can be configured to be formed with the floating panel 3 by secondary overmolding to ensure a reliable connection between the flexible rubber component 36 and the floating panel 3.
[0026] In another embodiment, each water outlet 31 and the sealing part 32 are integrally formed with the floating panel 3 to further simplify the structure and save parts. Preferably, at least two water outlets 31 are provided along the circumferential direction of the sealing part 32, so that the water flow from the water outlet 21 hits the sealing part 32 and falls directly into the water outlet 31, reducing the water flow path and avoiding energy loss, resulting in greater spray force and better water output.
[0027] It should be mentioned that regardless of whether the sealing part 32 and the water outlet 31 are formed on the soft rubber part 36 or on the floating panel 3, they can share components such as the water outlet net 2 and the main body 1, which can save costs.
[0028] In other embodiments, the main body 1 is arranged sequentially from the inside out with a fixing frame 5, a water outlet net 2, and a floating panel 3. The fixing frame 5 is detachably mounted on the main body 1 and forms a water outlet cavity 12 with the water outlet net 2. The water outlet net 2 is fixed to the fixing frame 5, and the floating panel 3 is movably sleeved on the water outlet net 2. The fixing frame 5 and the water outlet net 2 can be fixed by welding to ensure sealing. During installation, first fix the water outlet net 2 to the fixing frame 5, then sleeve the floating panel 3, then install the elastic element 4 and the pressure cap 34, and finally install the fixing frame 5 into the main body 1. The fixing frame 5 and the main body 1 can be connected by a snap-fit 51 for easy disassembly and replacement. The fixing frame 5 and the water outlet net 2 form a water outlet cavity 12, and a ball head 111 communicating with the water outlet cavity 12 is arranged in the water inlet channel 11 to facilitate adjustment of the water outlet angle.
[0029] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions that fall within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected by this utility model.
