Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom product technology, and more specifically, to a structure and water outlet device for switching different water sprays through the same hole. Background Technology
[0002] To improve shower performance and ensure a larger water outlet area, an increasing number of water outlet devices are adopting a structure where different water outlets flow through the same opening. For example, Chinese Patent CN116474963A discloses a water outlet structure and showerhead, including a water outlet body with multiple water outlet units. Each water outlet unit includes a jetting section and a nozzle, arranged axially along the nozzle. The jetting section has at least one first jetting channel connected to the nozzle, and the water jetted from it rotates within the nozzle before spraying out a first water splash. A jetting gap connects the jetting section to the nozzle, and / or the jetting section also has at least one second jetting channel connected to the nozzle, allowing water to enter the nozzle and then spray out a second water splash. By adjusting or switching the water inlet ratio of the first water channel connected to the first jetting channel and the second water channel connected to the second jetting channel, the variation and control of the water splash can be achieved. In such solutions, multiple water channels are required to vary the water spray pattern. However, the complex structure of multiple water channels affects the cost and size of the shower unit. For example, in showerheads and side sprays, multiple water channels can increase the thickness of the shower rod, affecting the aesthetics of the shower unit. Therefore, most existing showerheads and other shower units offer a single water spray pattern, making it difficult to meet the needs of different users. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model discloses a structure for switching different water spray patterns through the same hole, which aims to improve the problem of the single water spray pattern of the existing water outlet device configured on the shower rod.
[0004] The present invention adopts the following solution: A structure for switching different water spray patterns through the same opening includes a main body, a nozzle, a water spray patterning seat, and a drive mechanism disposed on the main body. The main body is fitted inside a shower rod and is arranged along the length of the shower rod. The main body has a water inlet cavity communicating with a water inlet channel and a water outlet communicating with the water inlet cavity. The nozzle is positioned directly opposite the water outlet. The water spray patterning seat is integrally formed and installed within the water inlet cavity, and has at least two different forming parts. Each forming part has a water inlet hole communicating with the water outlet and a water inlet groove arranged around the periphery of the water inlet hole. By setting different numbers and / or different angles of water inlet grooves, the water flow pattern and / or flow velocity within the water inlet hole are made different. The drive mechanism drives the water spray patterning seat to move to select the forming part aligned with the water outlet, thereby forming water spray patterns of different shapes at the nozzle.
[0005] As a further improvement, the water outlet forming base is elongated, and each of the forming parts is arranged along the length direction of the water outlet forming base.
[0006] As a further improvement, multiple nozzles are arranged vertically along the body, and forming groups are provided on the water outlet forming seat corresponding to each nozzle. Each forming group includes at least two different forming parts. The driving mechanism is driven in an operable manner to move the water outlet forming seat vertically, so that the water spray from each nozzle changes synchronously.
[0007] As a further improvement, the water outlet forming seat is provided with a first elastic member on the side away from the water outlet, so that the forming part can abut against the inner wall of the water inlet cavity on the side of the water outlet.
[0008] As a further improvement, the driving mechanism includes an operating element, a cam, and a second elastic element. One end of the water outlet forming seat abuts against the second elastic element, and the other end abuts against the cam. The operating element is driven to rotate in an operable manner so as to rotate the cam synchronously, thereby causing the water outlet forming seat to move vertically.
[0009] As a further improvement, the operating member is provided with a plurality of stop grooves corresponding to the type of forming part, and a stop member is provided on one side of the operating member, the stop member being configured to movably engage with the stop groove.
[0010] As a further improvement, the water inlet end of the main body is provided with a control valve, which controls the opening and closing of the water inlet chamber and the water inlet channel.
[0011] Another water outlet device is provided, including a device body and a structure as described in any of the preceding claims, disposed on the device body, for switching different water sprays through the same opening.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention can achieve the following technical effects: 1. This application involves setting multiple different forming parts on the water outlet forming base, with each forming part and the water outlet creating different water flow states, thereby enabling the nozzle to spray different water sprays. This eliminates the need for multiple water outlet paths; only a water outlet forming base that can be driven by a drive mechanism needs to be placed within the water inlet chamber. The structure is simple, with few parts and a small size, making it suitable for use in water outlet devices such as waist sprays and side sprays. This enriches the water spray pattern of the water outlet device configured on the shower rod, meeting the needs of different users.
[0013] 2. The water outlet molding base is elongated, with each molding component arranged along its length. This is advantageous for use on shower rods and longer water outlet devices, fully utilizing the space along the length of the water outlet device and ensuring that movement of the water outlet molding base does not cause changes in the volume of the water outlet device.
[0014] 3. Multiple nozzles are arranged vertically along the body, and the water spray from each nozzle can change synchronously with the movement of the water spray forming base to further simplify the structure. Attached Figure Description

[0020] Combination Figures 1 to 12 This embodiment provides a structure for switching different water splashes from the same opening, including a body 1 and a nozzle 2, a water outlet forming seat 3, and a drive mechanism disposed on the body 1. The body 1 is sleeved inside a shower rod 6 and is arranged along the length of the shower rod 6. The body 1 has a water inlet cavity 11 for communicating with a water inlet channel and a water outlet 12 for communicating with the water inlet cavity 11. The nozzle 2 is disposed directly opposite the water outlet 12. The water outlet forming seat 3 is integrally formed and is located inside the water inlet cavity 11, and is provided with at least two different forming parts 31. The drive mechanism is used to drive the water outlet forming seat 3 to move in order to select the forming part 31 that is aligned with the water outlet 12, thereby forming water splashes of different shapes at the nozzle 2.
[0021] In a preferred embodiment, each forming part 31 has a water inlet hole 311 for alignment and communication with the water outlet 12 and a water inlet groove 312 arranged around the water inlet hole 311. By providing different numbers and / or different angles of water inlet grooves 312, the water flow pattern and / or flow velocity in the water inlet hole 311 are different. For example, the first forming part has three water inlet grooves 312 arranged along the tangential direction of the water inlet hole 311. When the first forming part is aligned with the water outlet 12, the water flows from the three water inlet grooves 312 into the water inlet hole 311 to form a more diffused water splash pattern in the water inlet hole 311. The second forming part has two water inlet grooves 312 symmetrically arranged along the center of the water inlet hole 311. When the second forming part is aligned with the water outlet 12, the water flows from the two water inlet grooves 312 into the water inlet hole 311 to form a more concentrated rotating water or columnar water at the water inlet hole 311. This is not limited to this and is not specifically limited.
[0022] It should be noted that in this embodiment, by setting multiple different forming parts 31 on the water outlet forming base 3, each forming part 31 and the water outlet 12 form different water flow states, so that the nozzle 2 sprays out different water sprays. In this way, there is no need to set up multiple water outlet channels. Only one water outlet forming base 3 that can be driven to move by a drive mechanism needs to be arranged in the water inlet cavity 11. The structure is simple, with few parts and small size. It is suitable for use in water outlet devices such as waist spray and side spray, thereby enriching the water spray of the water outlet device arranged on the shower rod 6 to meet the needs of different users.
[0023] Based on the above embodiments, in an optional embodiment of this utility model, the water outlet forming base 3 is elongated, and each forming part 31 is arranged along the length direction of the water outlet forming base 3. This is beneficial for use on shower rods 6 and long water outlet devices, and can make full use of the space of the water outlet device in the length direction, ensuring that the movement of the water outlet forming base 3 will not cause changes in the volume of the water outlet device.
[0024] Furthermore, multiple nozzles 2 are arranged vertically along the body 1. A forming group is provided on the water outlet forming base 3 corresponding to each nozzle 2. Each forming group includes at least two different forming parts 31. A drive mechanism is operably driven to move the water outlet forming base 3 vertically, causing the water spray from each nozzle 2 to change synchronously. This further simplifies the structure and facilitates application in water outlet devices. For example, at least part of the nozzle 2 is exposed outside the shower rod 6. The shower rod 6 provides space for the water outlet forming base 3 to move, improving the space utilization within the shower rod 6 and enriching the water outlet functions of the shower rod 6, thereby enhancing the user experience.
[0025] In another embodiment, a first elastic member 32 is provided on the side of the water outlet forming base 3 away from the water outlet 12, so that the forming part 31 can abut against the inner wall of the water inlet cavity 11 on the side of the water outlet 12. The first elastic member 32 includes a support column 321 and a first spring 322 sleeved on the support column 321. The support column 321 is disposed in a groove on the side of the water outlet forming base 3 away from the forming part 31, so that the water outlet forming base 3 can remain in contact with the inner wall of the water inlet cavity 11 under the elastic force of the first spring 322, thereby ensuring the water spray pattern formed by each forming part 31 and ensuring the water output effect. Based on the above embodiments, in an optional embodiment of this utility model, the driving mechanism includes an operating member 41, a cam 42, and a second elastic member 43. One end of the water outlet forming seat 3 abuts against the second elastic member 43, and the other end abuts against the cam 42. The operating member 41 is driven to rotate in an operable manner, so that the cam 42 rotates synchronously, causing the water outlet forming seat 3 to move vertically. The second elastic member 43 is preferably a spring. Under the action of the second elastic member 43, the water outlet forming seat 3 can maintain contact with the cam 42. Preferably, the end of the water outlet forming seat 3 that abuts against the cam 42 is set as an arc surface, so that the transmission between the cam 42 and the water outlet forming seat 3 is smooth, and the water outlet forming seat 3 can move smoothly.
[0026] Preferably, the operating member 41 is provided with multiple stop grooves 411 corresponding to the types of forming parts 31, and a stop member 412 is provided on one side of the operating member 41. The stop member 412 is configured to movably engage with the stop grooves 411. For example, the water outlet forming base 3 is provided with two types of forming parts 31, and the corresponding operating member 41 is provided with two stop grooves 411. The stop member 412 includes a spring and a spring. Under the action of the spring, the spring can engage with the stop groove 411 and emit a stop sound to prompt the user to switch to the correct position, making it convenient for the user to use. In addition, when the stop member 412 engages with the stop groove 411, it can play a limiting role, so that the operating member 41 can stay in the current position and ensure the stability of the switching state.
[0027] In other embodiments, the water inlet end of the main body 1 is provided with a control valve 5, which controls the opening and closing of the water inlet chamber 11 and the water inlet channel. The control valve 5 can be a ceramic switch valve or a switching valve. When the water inlet channel is connected to the water inlet chamber 11, the nozzle 2 emits water, and the water outlet pattern is determined by the forming part 31 aligned with the water outlet 12.
[0028] This utility model also provides a water outlet device, including a device body and a structure configured on the device body as described in any of the above embodiments for switching different water sprays through the same hole. The water outlet device can be a shower, and the structure for switching different water sprays through the same hole is configured on the shower rod 6 to form a multi-functional waist spray or side spray. Alternatively, the structure can be configured on a shower faucet or a shoulder spray, and is not limited thereto.
[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.
