Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

Therefore, "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" appearing throughout the specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment.

Figure 8 yes Figure 7 The diagram shows a structural schematic of the rotor valve stem from another perspective. Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of a guide sleeve provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of a reset kit provided in an embodiment of this application. The press flow switching device may include: a guide sleeve 100, a stator valve stem 200, and a rotor valve stem 300.

[0021] The bottom of the guide sleeve 100 in the pressure flow switching device may have a connected inlet k1 and outlet k2. Here, the side of the guide sleeve 100 is provided with a guide hole k3 that communicates with the outlet k2.

[0022] The stator valve stem 200 in the pressure flow switching device may have a first drive end 201 extending into the guide sleeve 100 from the top, and the rotor valve stem 300 may have a second drive end 301 extending into the guide sleeve 100 from the top, with the second drive end 301 being closer to the outlet k2 than the first drive end 201. The second drive end 301 in the rotor valve stem 300 may be configured with multiple first locking positions W1 and multiple second locking positions W2 that can be switched with each other in cooperation with the guide sleeve 100. At the first locking position W1, the water passage area formed between the second drive end 301 of the rotor valve stem 300 and the outlet k2 is smaller than the water passage area formed between the second drive end 301 of the rotor valve stem 300 and the outlet k2 at the second locking position W2.

[0023] In the hot water state, pressing the stator valve stem 200 drives the second drive end 301 of the rotor valve stem 300 through the first drive end 201 of the stator valve stem 200, thereby releasing one of the first locking position W1 and the second locking position W2; driving the rotor valve stem 300 to move and, under the action of water pressure, switching and maintaining the other of the first locking position W1 and the second locking position W2. In the hot water state, the bottom of the second drive end 301 of the rotor valve stem 300 is connected to the part of the guide sleeve 100 with the water inlet k1 through a transmission component, so that the second drive end 301 of the rotor valve stem 300 moves to the standby position corresponding to the first locking position or the second locking position. Here, in the hot water state, water flow is introduced into the guide sleeve 100 from the water inlet k1, and the second drive end 301 of the rotor valve stem 300 is subjected to water pressure. In addition, multiple first locking positions W1 can be distributed along the axial direction of the second drive end surrounding the rotor valve stem and the axial direction of the guide sleeve, and multiple second locking positions W2 can be distributed along the axial direction of the second drive end surrounding the rotor valve stem and the axial direction of the guide sleeve.

[0024] For example, when the second driving end 301 of the rotor valve stem 300 is in the first locking position W1, which is engaged with the guide sleeve 100, the water passage area formed by the second driving end 301 and the outlet k2 is small. At this time, a smaller flow rate of water flows out through the guide hole k3 on the side of the guide sleeve 100 through the water passage space. By pressing the stator valve stem 200, the second driving end 301 of the rotor valve stem 300 is driven to move through the first driving end 201, thereby releasing the first locking position W1. At the same time, the second driving end 301 of the rotor valve stem 300 is driven to move and, under the action of the water pressure, switches to the second locking position W2, which is engaged with the guide sleeve 100, and remains in the second locking position W2 under the action of water pressure. At this time, a larger flow rate of water flows out through the guide hole k3 on the side of the guide sleeve 100 through the water passage space. In this way, the above-described configuration provides a device that can switch between large and small flow rates by pressing and cycling, effectively improving the user's ease of operation. Furthermore, in the water-off state, the second driving end 301 of the rotor valve stem 300 moves towards the inlet k1 in the guide sleeve 100 under gravity. Through the coordinated movement of the transmission components, the second driving end 301 of the rotor valve stem 300 moves to a standby position corresponding to the first or second locking position, improving the flexibility of the flow switching device and the user experience. This standby position corresponding to the first or second locking position means that the next time the water is turned on, under water pressure, the second driving end 301 of the rotor valve stem 300 will move and engage with the guide sleeve 100 to be in the first or second locking position. It should be noted that when the second driving end 301 of the rotor valve stem 300 is engaged with the guide sleeve 100 in the second locking position W2, the same method can be used to switch to the first locking position W1, which will not be elaborated here.

[0025] In summary, this application provides a press-to-switch flow rate device, which may include a guide sleeve, a stator valve rod, and a rotor valve rod. When the second driving end of the rotor valve rod is in the first locked position with the guide sleeve, the water passage area formed by the second driving end and the outlet is small. At this time, the smaller flow rate of water flows out through the guide hole on the side of the guide sleeve through the water passage space. By pressing the stator valve rod, the second driving end of the rotor valve rod is driven to move through the first driving end to release the first locked position. At the same time, the second end of the rotor valve rod is driven to move and, under the action of water pressure, switches to the second locked position with the guide sleeve and remains in the second locked position under the action of water pressure. At this time, the larger flow rate of water flows out through the guide hole on the side of the guide sleeve through the water passage space. In this way, the above-described configuration provides a device that can switch between large and small flow rates by pressing, effectively improving the user's ease of operation.

[0026] Optional, such as Figures 1 to 6As shown, after the second driving end 301 of the rotor valve stem 300 moves relative to the guide sleeve 100 to release one of the first locking position W1 and the second locking position W2, the second driving end 301 of the rotor valve stem 300 can be drivenly connected to the first driving end 201 of the stator valve stem 200, and cooperate with the water pressure to switch and maintain the other of the first locking position W1 and the second locking position W2. In this case, after the first driving end 201 of the stator valve stem 200 drives the second driving end 301 of the rotor valve stem 300 to release one of the first locking position W1 and the second locking position W2 from the guide sleeve 100, the second driving end 301 of the rotor valve stem 300 can rotate under the driving action of the water pressure and the second driving end of the stator valve stem 200 to switch and maintain the other of the first locking position W1 and the second locking position W2. In other words, there is no need to use other drive mechanisms to drive the rotor valve stem. The switching of the locking position is completed through the transmission connection between the second drive end 301 and the first drive end 201 and the action of water pressure.

[0027] In this application, as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 10 As shown, the transmission component may include: multiple guide protrusions 302 distributed circumferentially at the bottom of the rotor valve stem 300; multiple sets of guide inclined surfaces M that cooperate with the guide protrusions 302 at the water inlet k1 of the guide sleeve 100; and a gap K between adjacent sets of guide inclined surfaces. In the water-off state, the guide protrusions 302 move downwards and contact the guide inclined surfaces M, then slide to the gap K under the guidance of the guide inclined surfaces M, so that the second driving end 301 of the rotor valve stem 300 moves to the standby position corresponding to the first or second locking position. Thus, in the water-off state, the cooperation between the guide protrusions 302 in the rotor valve stem 300 and the guide inclined surfaces M in the guide sleeve 100 allows the rotor valve stem 300 to be in any standby position after the water is turned off, and it can automatically switch to a low-flow-rate or high-flow-rate state after the water is turned on again.

[0028] Here, the positions of the multiple guide protrusions 302 correspond to the portions of the second drive end 301 of the rotor valve stem 300 that cooperate with the guide sleeve to form multiple first locking positions W1. In this way, after the water is turned off, the water dispenser can automatically switch to the low-flow-rate outlet device the next time it is turned on.

[0029] For example, each set of guide ramps M includes two symmetrically arranged guide sub-ramps m. Each guide sub-ramps m slopes upward in a direction away from the inlet k1, and one side of each guide sub-ramps m intersects and overlaps. In this way, after the rotor valve stem 300 moves downward, the guide protrusion 302 can contact either guide sub-ramps m and then move accordingly, improving the guiding flexibility of the rotor valve stem 300. Furthermore, the guide sub-ramps m can spirally slope upward, reducing the moving resistance of the guide protrusion 302 after contacting it.

[0030] Optionally, the guide sleeve 100 in the press flow switching device includes: a guide sleeve body A1 and a reset kit A2. The reset kit A2 is fitted into the lower part of the guide sleeve body A1. The reset kit A2 has an inlet K1 and an outlet K2 disposed opposite to each other. The side of the guide sleeve body A1 has a guide hole K3 communicating with the outlet K2. The bottom of the reset kit A2 has a plurality of guide protrusions 302. For example, the guide sleeve body A1 can be a sleeve structure with openings at both ends, and the reset kit A2 can also be a sleeve structure with openings at both ends, and the length of the reset kit A2 is less than the length of the guide sleeve body A1.

[0031] In this application, as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the first driving end 201 of the stator valve stem 200 is provided with a plurality of first ratchet teeth 201a arranged circumferentially thereon, and the second driving end 301 of the rotor valve stem 300 is provided with a plurality of second ratchet teeth 301a arranged circumferentially thereon. Each second ratchet tooth 301a includes two sub-rat teeth J distributed circumferentially. The sub-rat teeth J of the plurality of second ratchet teeth 301a engage one-to-one with the plurality of first ratchet teeth 201a, enabling the second driving end 301 of the rotor valve stem 300 to move axially along the guide sleeve 100 and rotate synchronously under water pressure. Here, the engagement of the first ratchet teeth 201a and the second ratchet teeth 301a is similar to the structure of a ballpoint pen. Through the engagement of the guide slope on the first ratchet tooth 201a and the guide slope of the sub-rat teeth J in the second ratchet tooth 301a, the movement trajectory of the second driving end 301 in the rotor valve stem 300 is changed.

[0032] Optional, such as Figures 1 to 8As shown, each second ratchet 301a is provided with a limiting blind groove C1 distributed between two sub-ratchets J, and a limiting through groove C2 is provided between two adjacent second ratchets 301a. The inner sidewall of the guide sleeve 100 may have a plurality of limiting guide posts 101 that mate with each limiting blind groove C1 or limiting through groove C2. Specifically, at the first locking position W1, a portion of the limiting guide post 101 is engaged in the limiting blind groove C1; at the second locking position W2, a portion of the limiting guide post 101 is engaged in the limiting through groove C2. For example, when the second driving end 301 of the rotor valve rod 300 is engaged with the guide sleeve 100 at the first locking position W1, that is, when the limiting guide post 101 in the guide sleeve 100 is engaged with the limiting blind groove C1 to restrict the rotation of the rotor valve rod 300, the first driving end 201 drives the second driving end 301 to move axially along the guide sleeve 100 by pressing the stator valve rod 200. After a certain stroke, the limiting blind groove C1 separates from the limiting guide post 101. At this time, the second driving end 301 of the rotor valve rod 300 is engaged with the first driving end 201 of the stator valve rod 200, and under the action of water pressure, the second driving end 301 of the rotor valve rod 300 rotates and moves axially at the same time, so that the limiting through groove C2 at the second driving end 301 is aligned with the limiting guide post 101 in the guide sleeve 100 and engaged at the second locking position W2. At this time, the switching device can output water flow in a small flow state. It should be noted that when the pressure on the stator valve stem 200 is released, it will not affect the movement of the second drive end 301 of the rotor valve stem 300 and the limiting engagement with the limiting guide post 101.

[0033] Press the stator valve rod 200 again, and the first driving end 201 of the stator valve rod 200 drives the second driving end 301 of the rotor valve rod 300 to move axially along the guide sleeve 100. After a certain stroke, the limiting through groove C2 separates from the limiting guide post 101. At this time, the second driving end 301 of the rotor valve rod 300 cooperates with the first driving end 201 of the stator valve rod 200. Under the action of water pressure, the second driving end 301 of the rotor valve rod 300 rotates and moves axially at the same time, so that the limiting blind groove C1 at the second driving end 301 is aligned with the limiting guide post 101 in the guide sleeve 100 and is in the first locking position W1. At this time, the switching device can output water flow in a large flow state.

[0034] It should be noted that the limiting blind groove C1 in the second drive end 301 of the rotor valve stem 300 at the standby position corresponding to the first locking position is aligned with the limiting guide post 101 in the guide sleeve 100, so that the switching device can be in a low flow state after the next water is turned on. The positions of the multiple guide protrusions 302 are respectively set to correspond to the multiple limiting blind grooves C1 set in the second drive end.

[0035] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the press-to-flow switching device may include a button 400 and a first elastic element 500. The button 400 may be mounted on the top of the stator valve stem 200, and the first elastic element 500 is sleeved on the stator valve stem 200, with both ends respectively contacting the tops of the button 400 and the guide sleeve 100. Thus, after pressing the button 400 to drive the stator valve stem 200 to move, the first elastic element 500 can be compressed; and after the pressing force on the button 400 is released, the first elastic element 500 can drive the button 400 to move to the initial position under the action of elastic force. Here, the initial position is the position where the button 400 is not pressed. For example, the first elastic element 500 may be a helical spring sleeved on the stator valve stem 200.

[0036] Optional, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the stator valve stem 200 may have a hollow groove 202 extending along its axial direction, and a portion of the rotor valve stem 300 is located within the hollow groove 202 and slidably connected to the stator valve stem 200. The press-to-flow switching device may further include a second elastic element 600 located within the hollow groove 202, with both ends of the second elastic element 600 contacting the bottom wall of the hollow groove 202 and the top of the rotor valve stem 300, respectively. Thus, in the water-off state, the rotor valve stem 300 can move downward under the elastic force of the second elastic element 600 to block the outlet k2 of the guide sleeve 100. It should be noted that in the water-on state, the water pressure on the second drive end 301 of the rotor valve stem 300 is greater than the elastic force of the second elastic element 600. For example, the second elastic element 600 may be a helical spring disposed within the hollow groove 202.

[0037] In summary, this application provides a press-to-switch flow rate device, which may include a guide sleeve, a stator valve rod, and a rotor valve rod. When the second driving end of the rotor valve rod is in the first locked position with the guide sleeve, the water passage area formed by the second driving end and the outlet is small. At this time, the smaller flow rate of water flows out through the guide hole on the side of the guide sleeve through the water passage space. By pressing the stator valve rod, the second driving end of the rotor valve rod is driven to move through the first driving end to release the first locked position. At the same time, the second end of the rotor valve rod is driven to move and, under the action of water pressure, switches to the second locked position with the guide sleeve and remains in the second locked position under the action of water pressure. At this time, the larger flow rate of water flows out through the guide hole on the side of the guide sleeve through the water passage space. In this way, the above-described configuration provides a device that can switch between large and small flow rates by pressing, effectively improving the user's ease of operation.

[0038] This application embodiment also provides a water outlet device, which may include: a device body (not shown in the figure) and any of the above-described pressure flow switching devices.

[0039] In this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. The term "multiple" refers to two or more unless otherwise expressly defined.

[0040] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application.
