Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom fixtures technology, specifically to a bathroom water outlet device with an adjustable panel. Background Technology

[0002] Shower heads, hand shower heads, and basin water outlets are common bathroom products used in daily life. Their core function is to guide water flow to the target area to meet the needs of washing, showering, and other uses.

[0003] Existing bathroom water outlet devices typically consist of a main body and a single water outlet panel. The water outlet panel is connected to the main body via a fixed structure, and a water storage chamber is used to stabilize the water flow. However, due to the presence of scale and impurities in the water, these deposits tend to accumulate in the water outlet holes of the panel after prolonged use, leading to blockages and problems such as uneven water flow, reduced water volume, or even no water flow at all. Cleaning usually involves using tools such as needles and toothpicks to unclog each hole, which is cumbersome and can easily scratch the panel, enlarge the hole diameter, further increase the risk of blockage, and shorten the product's lifespan. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a product with a simple structure that solves the problem of difficult-to-clean water outlets. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a bathroom water outlet device with an adjustable panel, comprising a device body and a water outlet component. The device body is provided with a water inlet and a water outlet. The water outlet component is installed on the water outlet of the device body by a fixing component. A water storage cavity is formed in the area enclosed by the water outlet component and the device body. The water outlet component has at least two water-passing panels, and the water-passing panels of the water outlet component can be switched relative to the device body.

[0005] Preferably, the water outlet has three water passage panels, and the water outlet can rotate relative to the main body of the device to switch the water passage panels.

[0006] Preferably, the fixing component includes a rotating shaft disposed on both sides of the water outlet component and a rotating hole disposed on both sides of the device body. The rotating shaft is embedded in the rotating hole, and the water outlet component can be flipped relative to the device body through the fixing component.

[0007] Preferably, the fixing component includes a rotating shaft disposed on both sides of the water outlet, a rotating platform disposed on both sides of the device body, and a limiting cover. The limiting cover restricts the water outlet within the device body. The limiting cover has limiting ears at both ends that match the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is restricted between the rotating platform and the limiting ears. The rotating shaft can be rotated relative to the device body.

[0008] Preferably, a sealing ring is installed on the limiting cover at a position corresponding to the outer periphery of the water-passing panel.

[0009] Preferably, it also includes a face cover, which is detachably fixed to the device body and restricts the limiting cover within the device body.

[0010] Preferably, the water outlet component is filled with a filter core.

[0011] Preferably, the water outlet patterns of the different water-passing panels are different.

[0012] Preferably, at least one of the water-passing panels is provided with a bubble-cutting mesh, and the water flow generates microbubble water flow after passing through the bubble-cutting mesh.

[0013] Preferably, a fragrance box is installed inside the main body of the device, and the water flows through the fragrance box and then flows to the water outlet.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: This application incorporates at least two water-passing panels in the water outlet component. When the outlet hole of one panel becomes clogged with scale or impurities, the water-passing panel can be switched relative to the main body of the device. During the switching process, the water flow in the storage chamber exerts a reverse impact or forward flushing effect on the outlet hole of the clogged panel, clearing the blockage. This eliminates the need to disassemble the panel or use tools for unclogging, completely solving the core pain points of difficult-to-clean and easily malfunctioning water outlet blockages. The operation is convenient and avoids panel damage. Furthermore, different water-passing panels can be designed with different hole diameters and hole distributions. Switching not only clears blockages but also simultaneously achieves multiple water outlet modes without the need for additional complex valves or drive components, making it easy to mass-produce and market, and highly practical.

[0021] Example 1 like Figure 1-3As shown, this application provides a bathroom water outlet device with an adjustable panel, including a device body 1 and a water outlet component 2. The device body 1 is provided with a water inlet 11 and a water outlet 12. The water outlet component 2 is installed on the water outlet 12 of the device body 1 by a fixing component 3. A water storage cavity 13 is formed in the area enclosed by the water outlet component 2 and the device body 1. The water outlet component 2 has at least two water-passing panels 21. The water outlet component 2 can switch the water-passing panels 21 relative to the device body 1.

[0022] The main body 1 is the basic supporting component of the bathroom water outlet device. Its material is preferably corrosion-resistant, high-strength metal or plastic, and it can be designed into structural forms such as a handheld shower head, overhead shower head, or basin water outlet head, depending on the application scenario. The inlet 11 is located on the side, rear, or bottom of the main body 1 and is used to connect to an external water supply pipe. The outlet 12 is located at the front end of the main body 1, and its inner wall has an installation structure adapted to the fixing component 3 for fixing the water outlet component 2. The main body 1 has an internal flow guiding channel connecting the inlet 11 and the outlet 12, ensuring that water flowing from the inlet 11 is stably guided to the water storage chamber 13 and the outlet 12.

[0023] The water outlet component 2 is the core component that directly realizes water output. Its shape is adapted to the water outlet 12 of the main body 1 of the device. The material can be engineering plastic, silicone or metal. The water outlet component 2 has at least two water-passing panels 21. The water-passing panels 21 are the water output end faces of the water outlet component 2. The water-passing panels 21 can be set to be the same or different. When the water-passing panels 21 are the same, their main function is to achieve the effect of clearing blockages by switching the water-passing panels 21. When the water-passing panels 21 are different, switching the water-passing panels 21 can not only clear blockages, but also achieve different water output patterns. For example, the first water-passing panel has fine holes with dense holes to form a rain-like water output; the second water-passing panel has coarse holes with evenly distributed holes to form a pulse-like water output; the third water-passing panel has irregularly shaped holes to form a waterfall-like water output. The differentiated design not only meets the needs of multiple modes of use, but also improves the blockage clearing effect by the difference in water flow intensity. The water-passing panel 21 can be integrally formed with the water-outlet component 2, or it can be detachably connected to facilitate the replacement of damaged or aged panels.

[0024] like Figure 4 , 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the water outlet patterns of different water-passing panels 21 are different. The differences between the water-passing panels 21 may include, but are not limited to, structural designs that can cause changes in the water outlet pattern, such as pore size, pore density, pore shape, flow channel, and pore position distribution.

[0025] The water outlet 2 is installed on the water outlet 12 of the device body 1 by the fixing member 3, and together with the front end face of the device body 1, forms a closed water storage cavity 13. Preferably, a sealing structure is provided at the mating point between the water outlet 2 and the device body 1 to ensure the sealing of the water storage cavity 13 and prevent water from leaking out from the mating gap.

[0026] The fixing component 3 is used to fix the water outlet component 2 to the water outlet 12 of the device body 1, while not restricting the switching panel of the water outlet component 2 relative to the device body 1. It can be set to be detachable or non-detachable, and its type can be selected according to the assembly requirements.

[0027] The water outlet component 2 can switch the water flow panel 21 relative to the main body 1. This means that by manually operating the water outlet component 2, different water flow panels 21 are aligned with the water outlet 12 of the main body 1 in sequence, thereby switching the water flow output panel. The water outlet component 2 can rotate circumferentially around the central axis of the main body 1, and each water flow panel 21 is arranged in a ring along the circumference of the water outlet component 2.

[0028] The method of using this application is as follows: Taking the application scenario of a handheld shower head as an example, in the normal water output state, the external water flow enters the guide channel through the water inlet 11 of the main body 1 of the device, flows into the water storage chamber 13 and after the pressure is balanced, it sprays out from the water outlet hole of the water passage panel 21 that is currently aligned with the water outlet 12 to meet the shower needs.

[0029] After prolonged use, the fine holes of the water flow panel 21 may become clogged due to scale buildup, resulting in reduced water flow and uneven water output. At this time, the user can switch the water flow panel 21. After switching, the water flow in the water storage chamber will act on the clogged fine holes of the water flow panel 21, flushing out the scale and impurities in the holes and discharging them with the water flow.

[0030] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the water outlet 2 has three water-passing panels 21, and the water outlet 2 can rotate relative to the main body 1 to switch the water-passing panels 21.

[0031] Example 2 Furthermore, in this embodiment, the fixing member 3 specifically includes a rotating shaft 31 disposed on both sides of the water outlet 2 and a rotating hole (not shown in the figure) disposed on both sides of the device body 1. The rotating shaft 31 is embedded in the rotating hole, and the water outlet 2 can be flipped relative to the device body 1 through the fixing member 3.

[0032] The rotating shaft 31 is located on both sides of the water outlet 2, preferably symmetrically distributed along the transverse central axis of the water outlet 2, and has a cylindrical protruding structure. The height of the rotating shaft 31 should not be too high so as to be directly embedded into the rotating hole for installation. The material can be the same as that of the water outlet 2. The rotating shaft 31 can be integrally formed with the water outlet 2, or can be detachably connected by fitting, snap-fit, or thread, so as to be replaced separately after damage.

[0033] The rotating holes are located on both sides of the inner wall of the outlet 12 of the main body 1 of the device. They are cylindrical blind holes adapted to the rotating shaft 31. The diameter of the holes is slightly larger than that of the rotating shaft 31 to avoid jamming. The inner wall of the rotating holes can be provided with an annular sealing groove to embed a miniature O-ring seal. This will not affect the rotation operation, but will also prevent water from leaking from the gap between the rotating shaft 31 and the hole.

[0034] Furthermore, to avoid over-flipping or positional deviation, the main body 1 or the rotating hole limiting boss, the outer periphery of the water outlet 2 or the rotating shaft 31 are provided with limiting holes. When the water outlet 2 is flipped to the target panel aligned with the water outlet 12, the limiting boss is embedded in the limiting hole to achieve positioning and locking. The cooperation between the rotating shaft 31 and the limiting hole can prevent the panel from shifting due to water flow impact during use. However, when manual force is applied, the rotating shaft 31 and the limiting hole can be separated to achieve flipping.

[0035] Example 3 like Figure 2-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the fixing member 3 includes a rotating shaft 31 disposed on both sides of the water outlet 2, a rotating groove platform 32 disposed on both sides of the device body 1, and a limiting cover 33. The limiting cover 33 restricts the water outlet 2 within the device body 1. The limiting cover 33 has limiting ears 34 at both ends that match the rotating shaft 31. The rotating shaft 31 is restricted between the rotating groove platform 32 and the limiting ears 34. The rotating shaft 31 can be flipped relative to the device body 1.

[0036] The difference from Embodiment 2 is that a rotating platform 32 is used instead of the original rotating hole, and the protruding structure on both sides of the water outlet 12 of the main body 1 is an open-type protrusion.

[0037] At least a portion of the limiting cover 33 is sized to fit the inner circumference of the outlet 12 of the device body 1, and its function is to enclose and restrict the water outlet 2 within the device body 1 to prevent it from detaching during rotation. The two ends of the limiting cover 33 extend downward to form limiting ears 34. The inner side of the limiting ears 34 is provided with a semi-circular groove, and the inner wall of the groove can be covered with a wear-resistant silicone pad to prevent wear on the rotating shaft 31, while also enhancing the damping feel during rotation.

[0038] The assembly process of this embodiment is as follows: First, the water outlet 2 is placed directly into the rotating platform 32, and the rotating shafts 31 on both sides will abut against the circular surface of the rotating platform 32. At this time, the rotating shafts 31 have not yet been limited. Second, the limiting cover 33 is fastened to the water outlet 12 of the device body 1, so that the semi-circular groove of the limiting ear 34 is aligned with the rotating shaft 31. Third, the limiting cover 33 is fixed to the device body 1 by screws, threads on the limiting cover 33, or a snap-fit ​​structure. At this time, the rotating shaft 31 is clamped from the top and bottom, supported by the rotating platform 32 below and limited by the limiting ear 34 above, forming a closed rotation space that cannot be axially separated and can rotate around its own central axis.

[0039] Furthermore, a sealing ring 4 is installed on the limiting cover 33 at a position corresponding to the outer periphery of the water-passing panel 21. That is, an annular sealing ring 4 is provided on the contact surface between the limiting cover 33 and the main body 1 of the device to prevent water from leaking out from the gap between the limiting cover 33 and the main body. Waterproof grease can be applied to the mating part of the rotating platform 32 and the rotating shaft 31 to achieve both lubrication and sealing.

[0040] Furthermore, it also includes a face cover 5, which is detachably fixed to the device body 1. The face cover 5 restricts the limiting cover 33 within the device body 1. When a panel is present, the limiting cover 33 may or may not have a fixing structure with the device body 1. The fixing structure may be, for example, the aforementioned screw, or threads on the limiting cover 33, or a snap-fit ​​structure. When no fixing structure is provided, the rotation shaft 31 is fixed by the face cover 5 to the device body 1, thereby restricting the limiting cover 33 and thus restricting the rotation shaft 31.

[0041] The faceplate 5 can be made of plastic or metal, and is in the shape of a ring or a circle. Its size covers the outer periphery of the front outlet 12 and the limiting cover 33 of the main body 1 of the device. The face cover 5 can be detachably fixed to the device body 1 by any or a combination of snaps, screws, threads, etc. In this embodiment, it is fixed by threads, that is, matching thread structures are provided on the face cover 5 and the device body 1. In other embodiments, a number of elastic snaps can be evenly distributed circumferentially on the inner side of the face cover 5, and a snap groove is provided at the front end of the device body 1. Pressing the face cover 5 to make the snaps insert into the snap grooves can complete the fixation. When disassembling, the snaps can be separated by gently prying with a fingernail or a tool without the need for additional tools.

[0042] Example 4 like Figure 2-6 As shown, in this embodiment, the water outlet 2 is filled with a filter core 22.

[0043] The filter element 22 can be made of existing technologies such as PP cotton, nylon mesh or ceramic filter element, and the surface can be coated with a hydrophilic coating to reduce scale adhesion.

[0044] The filter core 22 is designed to fit completely into the internal cavity of the water outlet 2, avoiding gaps between it and the inner wall of the water outlet 2 that could cause a short circuit in the water flow. The filter core 22 preferably adopts a detachable embedded design, which can be inserted and fixed by pressing the core. When disassembling, it can be removed by gently prying the retaining ring with tweezers or fingernails, making it convenient for regular replacement.

[0045] Furthermore, the core surface is provided with axial flow guide holes, the number of which corresponds one-to-one with the water outlet holes of the water passage panel 21, to ensure that the water flow after passing through the core filter can be accurately guided to the corresponding water outlet holes of the water passage panel 21 without causing water flow turbulence.

[0046] Example 5 In this embodiment, at least one water-passing panel is equipped with a bubble cutting mesh, and water flows through the bubble cutting mesh to generate microbubble water flow.

[0047] When water flows through the bubble-cutting mesh, the mesh openings are much smaller than the water outlet holes on the panel, breaking the water flow into countless tiny water droplets. At the same time, the three-dimensional porous structure of the mesh introduces air, and the water droplets collide with the air to form microbubbles. These microbubbles are then sprayed out of the water outlet holes on the panel with the water flow, and due to surface tension, they adhere to the skin or clean surfaces, achieving the dual effects of water conservation, increased efficiency, and gentle comfort.

[0048] The bubble cutter mesh is made of a water-resistant, high-strength material that does not affect water flow resistance, preferably stainless steel microfiber woven mesh or nylon meltblown mesh. The bubble cutter mesh can be installed as a single, fixed piece or a detachable, embedded design for easy maintenance. For detachable, embedded installation, a slot is provided on the inner side of the water-passing panel 21, and a retaining ring is provided on the edge of the bubble cutter mesh. Pressing the mesh body will insert it into the slot for fixation. For disassembly, the retaining ring can be gently lifted with a toothpick to remove it. The bubble cutter mesh includes single-layer cutting mesh as well as multi-layer stacked cutting mesh assemblies.

[0049] Example 6 like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a fragrance box 6 is installed inside the main body 1 of the device, and the water flows through the fragrance box 6 and then flows to the water outlet 12.

[0050] The fragrance box 6 can employ existing fragrance designs. For example, the fragrance carrier inside the fragrance box 6 can be a solid slow-release carrier, such as plant essential oil absorbent cotton or a soluble fragrance block, to prevent liquid fragrance leakage and water contamination. The fragrance box 6 can be connected and fixed to the device body 1 by means of threads, snap-fit, etc. In this embodiment, the fragrance box 6 is configured as a columnar body and fixed to the handle of the device body 1. Preferably, the outer shell of the fragrance box 6 has honeycomb-shaped water passage holes to ensure that water can fully penetrate the fragrance carrier while preventing carrier particles from being washed out with the water flow.

[0051] If the fragrance box 6 is equipped with an absorbent cotton carrier, the inside of the cotton body is provided with an "axial flow guide groove" to guide the water flow evenly through the cotton body, making the fragrance release more stable; if it is a soluble fragrance block, the surface of the block is made with "stepped protrusions" to increase the contact area with the water flow and prolong the slow release period.

[0052] The fragrance carrier can provide different scents. Users can change the fragrance box 6 according to their needs. They can also adjust the fragrance concentration by the opening rate of the water passage holes in the fragrance box 6, or control the fragrance concentration by the water flow speed, to suit different users' acceptance of fragrance.

[0053] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the inventive concept of this utility model and the contents of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
