Description

Technical area

[0001] The present utility model relates to the technical field of sanitary products, and in particular to a water outlet structure with an easily removable silicone surface, a water outlet device and a shower system. State of the art

[0002] Existing shower head or top spray products typically feature a silicone water pipe joint between the water outlet channel and the water outlet plate. This silicone water pipe joint effectively prevents the shower head from clogging. However, over time, many dust particles easily adhere to the silicone water pipe joint, which can lead to blockages in some of the water outlets. This results in problems such as the lack of water flow from some of the shower head's water outlets or slanted spray. Because the silicone water pipe joint is located between the shower head body and the water outlet plate, the water outlet plate must be disassembled to remove the silicone water pipe joint for cleaning. This is inconvenient for ordinary users and easily damaged.Furthermore, repeated disassembly can lead to failure of the water outlet plate's threads, resulting in leaks. Furthermore, it's difficult for the user to directly engage the silicone water outlet surface to remove it during disassembly, as the silicone water outlet surface rests against the water outlet plate.

[0016] In connection with the Fig. 5 to 10, at least one hand-pulling aid 32 is provided at the edge region of the silicone water outlet surface 3 to facilitate disassembly of the silicone water outlet surface 3 from the water outlet plate 4. Here, the hand-pulling aid 32 may be a protrusion protrudingly disposed at the edge region of the outer surface of the silicone water outlet surface, and the protrusion may have a rectangular shape, etc. Note that the term "edge region" refers to the region extending from the outer edge of the silicone water outlet surface 3 to the center, and is not limited to the outermost edge. For example, it may extend from the outermost edge inward to the center of the silicone water outlet surface 3 in a range of 1 to 10 mm. In other embodiments, the shape of the hand-pulling aid 32 may also have various shapes, such as circular, irregular, etc.With this hand-pulling aid 32, when the user wants to disassemble the silicone water outlet surface 3, they can directly act on the outer side of this hand-pulling aid 32 and press inward toward the silicone water outlet surface 3 to generate a leverage force via the hand-pulling aid 32. This facilitates the silicone water outlet surface 3 having a deflection on the hand-pulling aid 32, so that the user can easily grasp the deflected silicone water outlet surface 3, and disassembly becomes easier. It should also be emphasized that the silicone water outlet surface 3 can have various shapes, such as circular, square, etc., to adapt to different types of shower heads. The hand-pulling aid 32 can be arranged at any location on the edge of the silicone water outlet surface 3.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, a positioning groove (not shown) is provided on the edge of the water outlet plate 4, which corresponds to the hand-pulling aid 32 to facilitate the positioning of the silicone water outlet surface 3 during assembly. Here, the shape of the positioning groove can match the shape of the hand-pulling aid 32, so that the hand-pulling aid 32 can be positioned first in the positioning groove during assembly, whereby the individual silicone openings 31 correspond to the water outlet openings 411 on the water outlet plate 4 and rapid assembly is enabled.

[0018] In connection with the Fig. 1 to 4, the shower head in this embodiment comprises a connecting head component, a body 1, an inner container 2, a water outlet plate 4, and the silicone water outlet surface 3. The connecting head component includes a nut 5, a retaining ring 6, a ball joint 7, a sealing ring 8, etc., and is connected to the body 1. The inner container 2 is arranged between the water outlet plate 4 and the body 1, and a water distribution chamber 9 is formed between the inner container 2 and the water outlet plate 4. The silicone water outlet surface 3 is arranged on the side of the water outlet plate 4 facing away from the body 1, that is, it is arranged on the outside of the water outlet plate 4, so that the silicone water outlet surface 3 can be assembled and disassembled without disassembling the water outlet plate 4, which facilitates cleaning of the silicone water outlet surface 3.

[0019] In this embodiment, the silicone water outlet surface 3 is connected to the water outlet plate 4 in an easily disassemblable manner, so that the silicone water outlet surface 3 can be easily assembled and disassembled without the need for tools, which can also be understood to mean that the silicone water outlet surface 3 can be assembled and disassembled without disassembling other components.

[0020] In connection with the Fig. 3 to 4, in one of the embodiments, on the side of the water outlet plate 4 facing away from the body 1, a plurality of water outlet pins 41 with the water outlet openings 411 are provided, and the silicone openings 31 are designed to be slipped over the outside of the water outlet pins 41 to enable easy disassembly of the silicone water outlet surface 3 on the outside of the water outlet plate 4 and to connect the silicone openings 31 to the water outlet openings 411; in this embodiment, by providing a plurality of water outlet pins 41 with the water outlet openings 411 on the water outlet plate 4, the water outlet openings 411 on the silicone water outlet surface 3 can be slipped directly over the water outlet pins 41 to mount the silicone water outlet surface 3 on the water outlet plate 4.Furthermore, grooves are provided on the peripheral sides of the water outlet openings 411 to form the water outlet pins 41 built into the water outlet plate 4, and the silicone openings 31 include hollow connecting portions 311 and openings 312 connected to the connecting portions 311, wherein the connecting portions 311 are configured to be embedded in the grooves and press-fitted onto the outer sides of the water outlet pins 41 to effect the connection of the silicone water outlet surface 3 to the outer side of the water outlet plate 4. That is, a plurality of independent water outlet pins 41 are provided in the surface of the water outlet plate 4, and each water outlet pin 41 corresponds to a silicone opening 31 on the silicone water outlet surface 3; the connecting section 311 is hollow cylindrical and is press-fitted onto the outside of the water outlet pin 41.Since the connecting portion 311 made of silicone is deformable, it can be easily assembled and disassembled onto the water outlet pin 41, and the press-fit connection can prevent water leakage at the joint and affect the water outlet performance.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the silicone openings 31 do not protrude beyond the outer plane of the silicone water outlet surface 3. This means that the outer surface of the silicone water outlet surface 3 is smooth. Compared to existing solutions in which the silicone openings 31 protrude outward, the solution of this embodiment is easier to clean, has lower manufacturing costs, and offers better aesthetics.

[0022] It should be noted that the easily mountable and dismountable ways mentioned in the present utility model can also be realized by other forms such as locking structures, etc., without being limited thereto.

[0023] Combined with Fig. 4 In this embodiment, the water outlet pins 41 are arranged in a ring on the water outlet plate 4 and form a plurality of annular water outlet bodies extending from the inside to the outside; that is, a plurality of annular rows of water outlet pins 41 are provided on the water outlet plate 4, and the water outlet plate 4 is recessed inwardly in the areas between adjacent annular water outlet bodies, so that the annular water outlet bodies protrude outward from the plane of the water outlet plate 4. When the silicone water outlet surface 3 is mounted on the water outlet plate 4, the openings 312 of the silicone openings 31 also protrude from the plane of the silicone water outlet surface 3.By providing water outlet pins 41 projecting outward from the plane of the water outlet plate, the water can directly fall down after exiting from the water outlet holes 411 and not flow along the outer plane of the silicone water outlet surface 3, which effectively improves the water jet effects and prevents water from dripping at the edge of the silicone water outlet surface 3.

[0024] In connection with the Fig. 2 to 4, in one embodiment, a plurality of locking holes 42 are provided on the side of the water outlet plate 4 facing away from the body 1, and a plurality of locking blocks are provided on the silicone water outlet surface 3, which are designed to be fitted into the locking holes 42 to connect the silicone water outlet surface 3 to the water outlet plate 4. Preferably, the locking holes 42 are distributed on the outermost side of the annular water outlet bodies and in the areas between adjacent annular water outlet bodies. By providing locking holes 42 and locking blocks to cooperate, the connection strength of the silicone water outlet surface 3 to the water outlet plate 4 can be increased to prevent the silicone water outlet surface 3 from falling off due to excessive water pressure.

[0025] It should be noted that in this embodiment, both the water outlet pins 41 and the locking holes 42 on each annular row of annular water outlet bodies are evenly distributed around the circumference, so that the user can achieve alignment for assembly through each water outlet pin 41 and each locking hole 42 and can easily mount the silicone water outlet surface 3 on the water outlet plate 4.

[0026] In connection with the Fig.2 to 4, in a preferred embodiment, densely arranged stiffening ribs 43 are provided in the areas of the water outlet plate 4 that lie between adjacent annular water outlet bodies. This design of the stiffening ribs 43 prevents a suction cup-like connection structure from forming between the inner plane of the silicone water outlet surface 3 and the surface of the water outlet plate 4 after the silicone water outlet surface 3 is mounted on the water outlet plate 4, so that the silicone water outlet surface 3 is not firmly adsorbed to the water outlet plate 4 due to atmospheric pressure. It also prevents the plane of the silicone water outlet surface 3 from exerting a deforming tensile force on the silicone openings 31, which would lead to a loose connection between the silicone openings 31 and the water outlet pins 41.

[0027] By the solution of this embodiment, the silicone water outlet surface 3 can be easily assembled and disassembled on the shower head, and it can be replaced in a timely manner when it is damaged, which improves the user experience.
