Detailed Implementation

[0027] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0028] This utility model relates to a spray gun, including a base 100, a water inlet mechanism, and a water outlet mechanism 400.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, both the water inlet mechanism and the water outlet mechanism 400 are mounted on the base 100. The water inlet mechanism includes a water inlet passage 200 and an instant heating module 300. The instant heating module 300 can be an electric heating element, electric heating wire, etc. The instant heating module 300 can be positioned close to or coiled on the water inlet passage 200, and the instant heating module 300 instantly heats the liquid flowing through the water inlet passage 200. The water outlet mechanism 400 includes a water distribution valve 410 and a functional water passage 420. The upstream end of the water distribution valve 410 is connected to the water inlet passage 200. At least two functional water passages 420 are provided, and each functional water passage 420 is connected in parallel to the downstream end of the water distribution valve 410. The downstream end of the water distribution valve 410 has the same number of ports as the functional water passages 420. The ports of the functional water passages 420 and the downstream end of the water distribution valve 410 are paired and connected one-to-one. Different functional water passages 420 can be used for chemical washing, clean water washing, self-cleaning, etc. The water distribution valve 410, in conjunction with a rotating motor and valve body, controls the connection of the inlet water passage 200 to one of the functional water passages 420. In practical applications, the spray gun is used on a smart toilet seat or toilet bowl, or a smart toilet seat with a spray gun can be used on a toilet bowl. The inlet water passage 200 is connected to an external liquid supply system, which supplies clean water or liquid medicine to the inlet water passage 200. When the liquid flows through the inlet water passage 200, it is heated by the instant heating module 300. Based on the current usage status of the spray gun, the water distribution valve 410 automatically controls the inlet water passage 200 to supply water to one of the functional water passages 420, and the liquid is sprayed out through the corresponding functional water passage 420. Integrating the instant heating module 300 into the spray gun enables rapid heating of liquids, effectively shortening the distance the heated liquid travels to the functional water circuit 420. This avoids the problem of significant heat loss due to long-distance transport, resulting in more accurate water temperature, effective energy savings, and reduced overall space occupation on the smart toilet seat or toilet.

[0030] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the base 100 includes a drive frame 110 and a mounting box 120 connected to each other. The instant heating module 300 is installed in the mounting box 120, and the water inlet channel 200 includes a first flexible hose 210 and a water inlet branch 220. The water inlet branch 220 is disposed in the mounting box 120. The water inlet branch 220 can be integrally formed in the mounting box 120, or it can be formed on a water circuit board or pipe, and installed in the mounting box 120 using the water circuit board or pipe. The first flexible hose 210 is connected between the water distribution valve 410 and the water inlet branch 220, and the water outlet mechanism 400 is installed on the drive frame 110. The mounting box 120 can be fixed to the drive frame 110 by means of snap-fit, screw locking, etc., or the drive frame 110 and the mounting box 120 can be integrally formed, simplifying the installation structure and improving installation efficiency.

[0031] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, it also includes a thermostat 500. The thermostat 500 is mounted on the base 100, and can also be mounted on the aforementioned mounting box 120. The thermostat 500 is used to sense the water temperature of the inlet water channel 200. The thermostat 500 is connected to the instant heating module 300. Based on the comparison between the detected water temperature and the set temperature, the thermostat 500 controls the instant heating module 300 to start / stop or change the heating power, thereby intelligently adjusting the outlet liquid temperature.

[0032] In one embodiment, as shown in the figure, the water outlet mechanism 400 further includes a gun body 430, a drive assembly 440, and a self-cleaning seat 450, all of which are mounted on the drive seat. The drive assembly 440 is connected to the gun body 430 and can use a stepper motor in conjunction with a gear set, chain, belt, or other transmission structure to drive the gun body 430 to translate on the base 100. The self-cleaning seat 450 is provided with a self-cleaning port 451, one of which is a second flexible hose 421 connected between the self-cleaning port 451 and the water distribution valve 410. The self-cleaning port 451 faces the gun body 430. The gun body 430 contains one functional water channel 420. Initially, the gun body 430 is in the standby position. During use, the drive assembly 440 moves the gun body 430 from the standby position to the working position. At this time, the water distribution valve 410 first controls the water inlet channel 200 to connect to the second hose 421. Liquid is sprayed out through the self-cleaning port 451 through the second hose 421. Simultaneously, the instant heating module 300 starts heating, and the liquid rinses the gun body 430 through the self-cleaning port 451. When the gun body 430 moves to the working position, the water distribution valve 410 switches to connect the water inlet channel 200 to the corresponding functional water channel 420 of the gun body 430. Liquid is sprayed out from the nozzle 431 of the gun body 430, providing a posterior wash or feminine wash for the user. During the self-cleaning process, the residual cold water in the water inlet channel is discharged and replaced by heated liquid. When switching to the gun body 430 for water spraying, the heated liquid can be sprayed out quickly, reducing the amount of cold water sprayed onto the body. The self-cleaning seat 450 can be configured as a sleeve structure, with the self-cleaning port 451 facing the inner cavity of the self-cleaning seat 450, and the gun body 430 passing through the inner cavity of the self-cleaning seat 450. One end of the gun body 430 is a nozzle 431. When the gun body 430 moves, the nozzle 431 passes through the self-cleaning port 451, and the nozzle 431 is rinsed by the self-cleaning port 451. The water distribution valve 410 is installed on the end of the gun body 430, and the water distribution valve 410 moves synchronously with the gun body 430.
