Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sanitary ware, specifically to a water outlet device and a shower. Background Technology

[0002] Existing shower systems, in order to increase the spray range of the side spray to meet different user needs and provide a better showering experience, divide the internal space of the shower rod into two parts: one part is used to install the hose, and the other part is used to install the side spray. The two parts are connected by a waist-shaped hole. The side spray can move along the shower rod and is connected to the water inlet through the hose. Since the sliding direction of the side spray is parallel to the laying direction of the hose, and one end of the side spray is connected to the hose, the hose moves along the internal space of the shower rod as the side spray moves. The hose is prone to interference with the inner wall of the shower rod or deformation and bending, which reduces or stabilizes the water flow, thus affecting the user experience.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the above technical solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] In the first technical solution, the water inlet component has a water inlet section and a guide section extending along a first direction. The water inlet section has a water inlet channel, and the guide section is connected to the outer wall of the water inlet section. The water outlet component has a water passage and a water outlet hole. The water outlet hole is connected to the water passage and extends along a second direction. The guide section passes through the water outlet component along the first direction so that the water outlet component and the water inlet section can be slidably connected, and the water inlet channel is always connected to the water passage. Thus, the water outlet component can slide relative to the water inlet component at different positions along the first direction, while the water outlet hole extends along the second direction so that the water outlet hole can spray water along the second direction at different positions in the first direction to meet the spraying needs of users at different body positions. Compared with the prior art, since the guide section passes through the water outlet component so that the water outlet component and the water inlet section can be slidably connected, and the water passage and the water inlet channel are always connected, the cross-sectional size of the water passage is not affected when the water outlet component slides relative to the water inlet component along the first direction. Moreover, the guide section plays a guiding and supporting role for the water outlet component, making the water flow of the water outlet hole more stable and improving the user experience.

[0019] In the second technical solution, the water outlet component is provided with a first abutting surface and a second abutting surface that are opposite to each other along the first direction. The first abutting surface and the second abutting surface are respectively adapted to abut against the fixing part and the water inlet part, so that the water outlet component slides between the fixing part and the water inlet part relative to the water passage part along the first direction, thereby limiting the sliding stroke of the water outlet component.

[0020] In the third technical solution, a specific structure of the water outlet component includes a detachable sliding component and a water outlet component, which facilitates assembly with the water inlet component.

[0021] In the fourth technical solution, a specific structure of the sliding component is provided, in which the main body is detachably connected to the water-passing component and the water-outlet component, and the water-passing component is inserted into the water inlet, which facilitates manufacturing and assembly.

[0022] In the fifth technical solution, the water-passing component is inserted into the first connecting cavity and fixedly connected to the body by cooperating with the first through hole through the retaining ring. It is easy to disassemble and assemble, and the retaining ring occupies little space, which can ensure its positioning on the outer wall of the water-passing component.

[0023] In the sixth technical solution, the water outlet component includes a water outlet part and a rotating shaft that are rotatably connected, so that the water outlet part can rotate around its rotation axis while moving relative to the water passage component with the sliding part, thereby expanding the water spray range to meet different user needs.

[0024] In the seventh technical solution, the rotating shaft is inserted into the second connecting cavity through the first connecting part, and is fixedly connected to the body through the cooperation of the snap ring and the second through hole. It is easy to disassemble and assemble, and the snap ring occupies little space and is not easy to fall off.

[0025] In the eighth technical solution, the second connecting part is arranged on both sides of the first connecting part along the third direction and forms a second water passage with the first connecting part, so that the second water passage is roughly T-shaped; at the same time, the second connecting part cooperates with the shaft hole of the water outlet and connects the second water passage and the second water passage cavity, so that the rotating shaft can both make the water outlet rotate relative to it and have the function of water passage, and the overall structure is relatively simple and compact; moreover, the T-shaped water passage allows the water to flow from the second water passage into the second water passage cavity in two ways, increasing the water passage area and making it more unobstructed.

[0026] In the ninth technical solution, the two fourth contact surfaces are opposite to each other along the third direction and are suitable for contacting and fitting with the water outlet, thereby fixing the water outlet relative to the rotation axis along the third direction, which can prevent axial displacement when the water outlet rotates.

[0027] In the tenth technical solution, when the water outlet component is subjected to external force, it overcomes the force applied by the fastener and moves relative to the water inlet component in the first direction. When it is not subjected to external force, it is fixed relative to the water inlet component in the first direction by the force applied by the fastener. Thus, the water outlet component can move relative to the water inlet component when operated by hand and stop at the current position when released, which is more convenient to use.

[0028] In the eleventh technical solution, the water outlet is equipped with an impeller to improve the water pattern and provide a pulse effect.

[0029] In the twelfth technical solution, the shower has the water outlet device described in any one of the first to eleventh technical solutions, and has the corresponding technical effect. Attached Figure Description

The second through hole 381 corresponds to the second through hole 381, so that the retaining ring 7 can pass through the second through hole 381 to abut against the bottom of the second retaining groove 5111, thereby making the rotating shaft 5 detachably connected to the body 3; the second connecting part 52 is a hollow cylinder, and its outer side wall is provided with a first annular groove 521, a second annular groove 522 and a fourth annular step surface 523 in sequence along the third direction; the first annular groove 521 is used to install a sealing ring to seal and insert with the first connecting part 51; in this embodiment, the second connecting part 52 includes a limiting part 53, which is a C-shaped ring, which is sleeved on the second annular groove 522, and its two ends along the third direction The surfaces respectively abut against the two side walls of the second annular groove 522, wherein the end face of the limiting part 53 near the fourth annular step surface 523 is higher than the height of the corresponding side wall of the second annular groove 522, so as to form the fourth abutting surface 531; the fourth abutting surface 531 abuts against the inner side wall opposite to the second mounting groove 412, so that the water outlet 4 is fixed relative to the rotating shaft 5 along the axial direction; in other embodiments, the fourth abutting surface 531 may also be directly constructed in the second connecting part 52 without providing a separate limiting part 53; the third annular step surface 4131 is adapted to abut against the fourth annular step surface 523. In this embodiment, the second connecting part 52 is located at... A sealing ring is fitted at the end of the third annular step surface 4131, so that the third annular step surface 4131 and the fourth annular step surface 523 are sealed and abutted together to achieve axial sealing; one end of each of the two second connecting parts 52 is respectively inserted into the two ends of the extension part 512 along the third direction, so that the cavities of the two second connecting parts 52 are connected to the cavity of the first connecting part 51 to form the second water passage 54; the other end of each of the two second connecting parts 52 is respectively sealed and inserted into the two shaft holes 413, so that the second water passage 54 is connected to the second water passage cavity 43 to form the second water channel, and the second water channel and the first water channel form a water passage.

[0070] When assembling the water outlet component, first assemble the rotating shaft 5: seal the two second connecting parts 52 with the first connecting part 51, and then fit the upper limit part 53; then connect the rotating shaft 5 and the water outlet part 4: install the rotating shaft 5 into the mounting part, so that the second connecting part 52 is sealed with the shaft hole 413, the limit part 53 abuts against the inner side wall of the second mounting groove 412, the first connecting part 51 extends out of the third through hole 421, and then fix the back cover 42 and the front cover 41 to form the water outlet component.

[0071] When assembling the water outlet assembly, the first connecting part 51 is inserted into the second connecting cavity 38 and abuts against the protrusion 39 to seal the water outlet component and the sliding component. Then, the retaining ring 7 is inserted through the second through hole 381 and abuts against the bottom of the second retaining groove 5111 to fix the water outlet component and the sliding component.

[0072] When assembling the water outlet device, first fix the fixing part 8 to the wall, then pass the guide part 12 through the through groove 33 and insert it into the insertion groove 84, and seal the other end of the water passage part 2 with the water inlet part 11; finally, install the abutment part into the first mounting groove 34 and lock the abutment part with the fastener 91.

[0073] See Figure 22-25 When in use, the user can lift or pull down the water outlet, which causes the main body 3 to slide relative to the guide part 12 in the first direction, and also causes the water passage part 2 to slide relative to the water inlet part 11, thereby meeting the spraying needs of different body positions; at a specific position, the user can also swing the water outlet part 4 up and down, causing the water outlet part 4 to rotate up and down around the rotation axis, thereby changing the water outlet angle, making the spraying range larger and improving the user experience.

[0074] Compared with the prior art, this embodiment has the following beneficial effects:

[0075] In this embodiment, the water inlet component 1 is provided with a water inlet portion 11 and a guide portion 12. The water inlet portion 11 is provided with a water inlet channel 111, and the guide portion 12 extends from one end face of the side wall of the water inlet portion 11 along a first direction. The water outlet component includes a sliding member and a water outlet component. The first water passage of the sliding member and the second water passage of the water outlet component form a water passage. The water outlet component is provided with a water outlet hole 411 that connects to the water passage, and the water outlet hole 411 extends along a second direction. The guide portion 12 passes through the sliding member, so that the water outlet component and the water inlet portion 11 can be slidably connected, and the water inlet channel 111 is always connected to the water passage. Thus, the water outlet component can be positioned relative to the water inlet component 1 along the first direction. The water outlet 411 extends along the second direction while sliding in different positions, allowing water to spray from the water outlet 411 at different positions in the first direction along the second direction to meet the user's spraying needs at different locations. Compared with the prior art, since the guide part 12 is provided with a sliding member, the water outlet component and the water inlet part 11 can be slidably inserted, and the water passage and the water inlet passage 111 are always connected. Therefore, when the water outlet component slides relative to the water inlet part 1 in the first direction, the cross-sectional size of the water passage is not affected. In addition, the guide part 12 plays a guiding and supporting role for the water outlet component, making the water flow of the water outlet 411 more stable and improving the user experience.

[0076] In this embodiment, when the water outlet assembly is subjected to external force, it overcomes the force applied by the fastener 91 and moves relative to the water inlet 1 in the first direction. When it is not subjected to external force, it is fixed relative to the water inlet 1 in the first direction by the force applied by the fastener 91. Thus, the water outlet 4 can move along the guide 12 when operated by hand, and stop at the current position of the guide 12 when the hand is released, which is more convenient to use.

[0077] In this embodiment, the first contact surface 31 and the second contact surface 32 respectively abut against the stop surface 112 and the upper end surface of the fixing member 8, thereby causing the sliding member to slide relative to the water-passing member 2 in the first direction between the fixing member 8 and the water inlet 11, which limits the sliding stroke of the sliding member.

[0078] In this embodiment, the water-passing component 2 is inserted into the first connecting cavity 37, and the retaining ring 6 passes through the first through hole 371 and abuts against the bottom of the first retaining groove 22, thereby fixing the water-passing component 2 to the body 3, making it easy to disassemble and assemble. Moreover, the retaining ring 6 occupies little space and can ensure the positioning of the water-passing component 2.

[0079] In this embodiment, the third abutting surface 23 abuts against the first annular stepped surface 372 so that the first through hole 371 corresponds to the first slot 22, which facilitates the positioning of the first slot 22 by the retaining ring 6.

[0080] In this embodiment, the first connecting part 51 abuts against the protrusion 39 so that the second slot 5111 corresponds to the second through hole 381, which facilitates the positioning of the second slot 5111 by the snap ring 7.

[0081] In this embodiment, the water outlet component includes a water outlet part 4 and a rotating shaft 5 that are rotatably connected, so that the water outlet part 4 can rotate around its rotation axis while following the movement of the sliding member relative to the water passage member 2, thereby expanding the water spray range to meet different user needs.

[0082] In this embodiment, the water outlet 411 is equipped with an impeller 44 to improve the water outlet pattern and provide a pulse effect.

[0083] In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 5 is inserted into the second connecting cavity 38, and the retaining ring 7 passes through the second through hole 381 and abuts against the bottom of the second retaining groove 5111, thereby fixing the rotating shaft 5 to the body 3, making it easy to disassemble and assemble, and the retaining ring 7 occupies little space and is not easy to fall off.

[0084] In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 5 also has a water passage function. The overall structure is relatively simple and compact. Its T-shaped structure allows water to flow from the second water passage 54 into the second water passage cavity 43 in two separate paths, increasing the water passage area and making it more unobstructed.

[0085] In this embodiment, the limiting part 53 fixes the water outlet part 4 along the third direction relative to the rotating axis 5, which can prevent the water outlet part 4 from shifting axially when rotating.

The inlet is connected to a water source, and the three branch outlets are respectively connected to the overhead shower head 30, the handheld shower head 40, and the water outlet device. Specifically, the shower rod 20 has an overhead shower outlet channel, and both ends of the shower rod 20 are fixedly connected to the overhead shower head 30 and the water outlet control device 10, respectively, so that the overhead shower outlet channel connects the overhead shower head 30 and the corresponding branch outlet. The handheld shower head 40 is fixedly connected to the water outlet control device 10 to connect to the corresponding branch outlet.
