Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of faucet technology, and in particular to a water outlet component. Background Technology

[0002] As a core water supply appliance in kitchens and bathrooms, the faucet's water output performance and structural design directly affect the user experience. With consumers' increasing demands for quality of life, faucets with multiple water output functions and switchable water output modes are gradually becoming the mainstream in the market. These faucets typically incorporate multiple water outlets and flow channel switching structures within their water output components. For example, a water output component disclosed in CN219062519U includes a water output body with a flow channel switching chamber formed within it. The bottom of the water output body has a first water outlet and a second water outlet, and one end of the water output body has a water inlet. The first water outlet is connected to the upper part of the flow channel switching chamber via a first flow channel, the second water outlet is connected to the lower part of the flow channel switching chamber via a second flow channel, and the water inlet is connected to the middle part of the flow channel switching chamber via a third flow channel. The first water outlet is inclined at the front end of the bottom of the water output body, and the second water outlet is vertically positioned at the middle of the bottom of the water output body. The faucet also includes bolts and adapters, with the bolts axially... The system includes a through-hole; the water outlet body has a transition assembly chamber at one end of the water inlet, and the transition component is installed in the transition assembly chamber; a water inlet chamber is formed inside the transition component, and a bolt is fastened to the water inlet end of the water inlet chamber, with the bolt extending beyond the transition component; it also includes an outer shell sleeved on the outside of the water outlet body; a first opening is formed at the bottom of the outer shell corresponding to the first water outlet, and a second opening is formed at the bottom of the outer shell corresponding to the second water outlet; a third opening is formed on the outer shell corresponding to the flow channel switching chamber; a slope is formed at the front end of the bottom of the outer shell, and the first opening is located on the slope. The manufacturing process of the water outlet body in this water outlet assembly is complex. Water flows only inside the water outlet body. Since the first water outlet of the water outlet body corresponds to the first opening of the outer shell, the front end of the water outlet body needs to be machined into a bevel at a specific angle to accommodate the inclined first opening. This requires high machining precision, which not only increases production time and cost, but may also reduce the compatibility with the outer shell due to machining errors on the bevel, affecting assembly efficiency. Furthermore, the product has poor versatility, as the bevel structure of the water outlet body is a customized design that needs to be matched with an outer shell that has a beveled opening. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the defects of the prior art by providing a water outlet component that eliminates the need to process the water outlet body with an inclined surface, thereby simplifying the processing technology and improving versatility and assembly efficiency.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A water outlet assembly includes an outer shell and a water outlet body disposed in the inner cavity of the outer shell. The water outlet body has a vertical first tube and a horizontal second tube, and the first tube is connected to the front end of the second tube. The first tube has a valve port inside and a water guide hole and a first water outlet hole on its outer periphery. The lower opening of the first tube forms a second water outlet. The water guide hole, the first water outlet hole, and the second water outlet hole are all connected to the inner cavity of the first tube. The water guide hole is connected to the inner cavity of the second tube, and the first water outlet hole is connected to the inner cavity of the outer shell. By closing or opening the valve port, the water guide hole can either pass through the second water outlet hole or pass through the valve port to the first water outlet hole. The front end of the outer shell is provided with a first water outlet hole, the lower end of which forms a first opening at the position corresponding to the second water outlet hole, and the rear end of which forms a second opening at the position corresponding to the second tube. The first water outlet hole is connected to the inner cavity of the outer shell.

[0005] Using the above technical solution, the outer shell has an independently opened first outlet. The standardized pipe structure, consisting of a vertical first pipe and a horizontal second pipe, eliminates the need for machining a specific angled surface on the outlet body, as required in existing technologies. This significantly reduces machining accuracy requirements and production time costs, avoids assembly problems caused by machining errors, and allows for compatibility with various outer shell specifications without requiring customized fitting. During use, water enters through the second pipe and then flows into the first pipe. A valve controls dual-flow water output: when the valve is closed, water flows directly out from the second outlet on the first pipe; when the second outlet is closed, water flows through the first pipe and the inner cavity of the outer shell before exiting from the first outlet at the front of the outer shell.

[0006] A further feature of this invention is that the first pipe body and the second pipe body are cylindrical straight pipes, and the two are welded and fixed at their joint. The water guide hole is opened on the side wall of the joint between the first pipe body and the second pipe body.

[0007] With the above-mentioned further design, the first / second pipe body is a standardized cylindrical straight pipe structure, which does not require additional processing of irregular surfaces, further simplifying the processing technology and avoiding the production complexity brought about by the customized bevels of existing technologies; the welding and fixing at the joint enhances the connection sealing and strength, reduces the risk of water leakage, and eliminates the need for complex adapters, simplifying the assembly process; the water guide hole is located on the side wall of the joint, allowing water to quickly enter the first pipe body from the second pipe body, improving the smoothness of water output.

[0008] A further feature of this invention is that the front end of the outer casing is sealed by a front cover and the rear end is sealed by a rear cover. Both the front cover and the rear cover are welded and fixed to the outer casing. The front cover is inclined. The first water outlet is opened on the front cover, and the second opening is opened on the rear cover.

[0009] By adopting the above-mentioned further design, the outer shell is sealed by welding the front and rear covers to achieve full-enclosure protection, preventing water ingress, dust accumulation, or component corrosion. This solves the problem of insufficient sealing protection caused by the inclined surface adaptation in the prior art. The inclined structure is transferred to the front cover of the outer shell, rather than the first pipe of the water outlet body. The water outlet body does not need to be processed with an inclined surface to adapt to the inclined water outlet requirements. This completely solves the core defect of the prior art that "the front end of the water outlet body needs to be processed with a specific angle of inclination", avoids assembly problems caused by processing errors, greatly improves assembly efficiency, and ensures the rationality of the water outlet angle through the inclined design.

[0010] A further feature of this invention is as follows: the inner wall of the first outlet is provided with a first internal thread, the inner wall of the second outlet is provided with a second internal thread, and the inner wall of the rear end of the second pipe body is provided with a third internal thread; a water outlet connector with an external thread is screwed onto the second internal thread, and the water outlet connector passes through the first opening; a water inlet connector with an external thread is screwed onto the third internal thread, and the water inlet connector passes through the second opening.

[0011] By adopting the above-mentioned further design, the internal thread design of the first water outlet, the second water outlet and the second pipe body enables the joint to be detachable and universally compatible, eliminating the need to customize the joint structure for a specific outer shell and solving the problem of poor versatility caused by component customization in the existing technology; the joint can be directly passed through the corresponding opening, reducing the difficulty of assembly and adaptation; the detachable structure facilitates later maintenance and replacement, and can be adapted to different specifications of pipelines.

[0012] A further feature of this invention is that a first sealing element is provided between the mating surface of the water inlet connector and the inner wall of the rear end of the second pipe body, and a second sealing element is provided between the mating surface of the water inlet connector and the second opening on the outer shell.

[0013] With the above-mentioned further design, double seals are respectively installed on the mating surfaces of the water inlet connector, the second pipe body, and the outer shell, which strengthens the sealing of key connection parts, avoids water leakage problems in assembly gaps, and improves product reliability.

[0014] A further feature of this invention is as follows: the internal cavity of the first pipe body is divided into an upper cavity and a lower cavity by a valve port; the second water outlet is connected to the bottom of the lower cavity; the water guide hole is opened on the side wall of the lower cavity of the first pipe body; the first water outlet is opened on the side wall of the upper cavity of the first pipe body; a water outlet switching component is installed in the internal cavity of the first pipe body; the water outlet switching component includes a valve stem and a valve plug located at the lower end of the valve stem; a third opening is formed at the upper end of the outer shell corresponding to the opening position at the top of the first pipe body; the valve stem passes through the third opening; the valve plug is located between the valve port and the second water outlet and can be moved up and down by the valve stem; the valve plug selectively closes the valve port or the second water outlet by moving up and down; when the valve port is closed, the second water outlet opens and communicates with the water guide hole; when the second water outlet is closed, the valve port opens and communicates with the first water outlet and the water guide hole.

[0015] By adopting the above-mentioned further configuration, the "upper and lower chamber separation + valve plug selective closing" switching structure eliminates the need for complex flow channel switching chambers and adapters, simplifying the internal structural design. The valve plug is directly controlled by the valve stem, and the water outlet path is independent and clear. The two water outlet modes can be quickly switched by moving the valve plug up and down. When the valve plug closes the valve port, the water flows directly from the second pipe body through the water guide hole to the second water outlet, realizing direct flushing water outlet, which is suitable for cleaning and other scenarios. When the valve plug closes the second water outlet, the water flows through the water guide hole into the upper chamber, then through the first water outlet into the inner cavity of the outer shell, and finally flows out from the first water outlet, realizing two water outlet functions.

[0016] A further feature of this invention is that the upper end of the valve stem is provided with a handle, which is threadedly connected to the valve stem.

[0017] With the above-mentioned further design, the handle is threadedly connected to the valve stem, making it detachable and easy to operate. It eliminates the need for complex tools to control water outlet switching. The handle increases the force-bearing area, improving control accuracy. At the same time, the standardized handle can be universally replaced.

[0018] A further feature of this invention is that the water guide hole is located on the rear side wall of the first pipe, and the first water outlet hole is located on the front side wall of the first pipe.

[0019] With the above-mentioned further configuration, the water guide hole and the first water outlet hole are respectively located on the front and rear side walls of the first pipe body, forming a mode of water entering from the rear end and exiting from the front end. This layout makes the water flow path smoother, reduces the obstruction and turbulence of water flow inside the pipe body, and effectively improves the efficiency and stability of water output.
