DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0021] In order to explain the technical contents, achieved objects and effects of the present invention in detail, a description is made in combination with the embodiments and the accompanying drawings.
[0022] With reference to
[0023] The water inlet mechanism 1 includes a water inlet channel 10.
[0024] The fluid diverting mechanism 4 includes a first water outlet channel 40.
[0025] The diversion mechanism 2 includes a second water outlet channel 20.
[0026] The seal 3 is mounted to a water inlet end of the fluid diverting mechanism 4, and the seal 3 is capable of placing the water inlet channel 10 in communication with the first water outlet channel 40 or the second water outlet channel 20 when the diversion mechanism 2 is movable relative to the fluid diverting mechanism 4.
[0027] When the water inlet channel 10 communicates with the second water outlet channel 20, the seal 3 can be pressed against a side of the water inlet member 13.
[0028] The working principle of the present invention is as follows.
[0029] By providing the water inlet member 13 having elasticity and the seal 3 having elasticity, when the diversion mechanism 2 moves relative to the fluid diverting mechanism 4, the water inlet member 13 and the seal 3 flexibly contact to generate deformation so as to absorb the tolerance of the water outlet device as a whole, thereby improving the reliability of the water outlet channel switching and improving the product yield.
[0030] As known from the above description, the present invention has following advantageous effects. A seal 3 is provided at the water inlet end of the fluid diverting mechanism 4, and a water inlet member 13 is provided at the water inlet end of the water inlet mechanism 1, so that the seal 3 can flexibly contact with the water inlet mechanism 1 when the seal 3 performs relative movement with the fluid diverting mechanism 4, or the water inlet member 13 can contact with the fluid diverting mechanism 4 when the fluid diverting mechanism 4 performs relative movement with the diversion mechanism 2, thereby enabling it to absorb the tolerance generated via deformation between the seal 3 and the water inlet member 13 or the fluid diverting mechanism 4 and the water inlet member 13 when the water outlet device is assembled. Furthermore, the invention ensures that it is switched in place each time the communication relationship between the water inlet channel 10 and the first water outlet channel 40 and the second water outlet channel 20, so as to achieve the purpose of improving the product yield.
[0031] Further, an elastic seal 5 is embedded in a water outlet end of the water inlet mechanism 1.
[0032] When the water inlet channel 10 communicates with the first water outlet channel 40, the fluid diverting mechanism 4 can be pressed against the elastic seal 5.
[0033] It can be seen from the above-mentioned description that the elastic seal 5 is provided, on the one hand, for providing an axial supporting force for the fluid diverting mechanism 4 when the water inlet channel 10 communicates with the first water outlet channel 40. The elastic seal 5 can also generate deformation for absorbing tolerances. On the other hand, the elastic seal 5 is provided for improving the sealing performance between the fluid diverting mechanism 4 and the water inlet mechanism 1 and reducing the probability of water leakage.
[0034] Further, the water inlet member 13 has a water inlet net 131 recessed in an axial direction along a water inlet end of the water inlet mechanism 1 to a water outlet end of the water inlet mechanism 1.
[0035] A plurality of water outlet holes 132 are provided around the side wall in the radial direction of the water inlet net 131.
[0036] It can be seen from the above-mentioned description that a plurality of water outlet holes 132 are provided around the side wall of the water inlet net 131, so that the water flows into the water inlet mechanism 1 from the side surface of the water inlet net 131 to perform rectification and filtration.
[0037] Further, the side wall in the radial direction of the water inlet net 131 inclines gradually and concavely along the water inlet end of the water inlet mechanism 1 to the water outlet end of the water inlet mechanism 1.
[0038] As can be seen from the above description, the side wall in the radial direction of the water inlet net 131 is inclined to provide a larger deformation space for the water inlet member 13 to absorb larger tolerances.
[0039] Further, the fluid diverting mechanism 4 includes a fluid diverting body 41.
[0040] The seal 3 is sleeved outside a water inlet end of the fluid diverting body 41.
[0041] Further, a first limiting stage 413 is provided outside the water inlet end of the fluid diverting body 41, and the seal 3 is sleeved outside the first limiting stage 413.
[0042] Further, the water inlet end of the fluid diverting body 41 is further provided with a second limiting stage 414. The first limiting stage 413 and the second limiting stage 414 are provided in sequence along the axial direction of the fluid diverting body 41. The seal 3 can be pressed against the second limiting stage 414.
[0043] It can be seen from the above-mentioned description that the first limiting stage 413 and the second limiting stage 414 are provided for improving the tightness of the connection between the seal and the fluid diverting mechanism 4.
[0044] Further, a side of the seal 3 facing towards the water inlet end of the water inlet mechanism 1 has a first diversion slope 31. A side of the seal 3 facing towards the water outlet end of the water inlet mechanism 1 has a second diversion slope 32.
[0045] The first diversion slope 31 inclines gradually and convexly along the water inlet end of the water inlet mechanism 1 to the water outlet end of the water inlet mechanism 1.
[0046] The second diversion slope 32 inclines gradually and convexly along the water outlet end of the water inlet mechanism 1 to the water inlet end of the water inlet mechanism 1.
[0047] When the water inlet channel 10 communicates with the first water outlet channel 40, the second diversion slope 32 is pressed against the water inlet mechanism 1.
[0048] It can be seen from the above-mentioned description that the first diversion slope 31 and the second diversion slope 32 are provided for reducing the resistance received by the seal 3 in the axial direction when the fluid diverting mechanism 4 moves in the axial direction, and improving the fluency when switching in different water outlet states.
[0049] Further, the top of the seal 3 and the top of the fluid diverting body 41 form a buffer space 30 in the axial direction of the fluid diverting body 41.
[0050] As can be seen from the above description, the buffer space 30 is formed for providing a larger deformation space for the seal 3 to absorb larger tolerances.
[0051] Further, the fluid diverting mechanism 4 includes a fluid diverting body 41, a reset member 42, and a functional member 43.
[0052] The reset member 42 and the functional member 43 are successively arranged in the fluid diverting body 41 along the water inlet end of the fluid diverting body 41 to the water outlet end of the fluid diverting body 41.
[0053] Both ends of the reset member 42 are pressed against the water inlet end of the water inlet mechanism 1 and the functional member 43, respectively.
[0054] It can be seen from the above-mentioned description that the reset member 42 is provided for providing a reset driving force in an axial direction for the fluid diverting body 41 to ensure reliability when switching in different water outlet states. The functional member 43 is provided for enabling the water flowing out from the first water outlet channel 40 to achieve different water outlet states so as to meet different requirements of a user.

[0062] Specific implementations of this embodiment are as follows.
[0063] When the water inlet channel 10 is in communication with the first water outlet channel 40, the seal 3 is pressed against an inlet 411 of the fluid diverting body 41, and the second water outlet channel 20 is sealed. At this time, water flows through the water inlet member 13 and the fluid diverting body 41 successively, and flows out in functional water, such as spray water, tooth flushing water, blade water or transparent water, etc.
[0064] By rotating the diversion mechanism 2, the protrusion 412 of the fluid diverting body 41 moves along the step 22 so as to realize the switching of the communication relationship. When the water inlet channel 10 communicates with the second water outlet channel 20, the seal 3 is pressed against a lower side of the water inlet member 13.

[0087] In view of the above, the present invention provides a water outlet device, which is provided with a seal having elasticity, instead of the hard seal at the top of the fluid diverting mechanism in the prior art. On the premise of achieving normal switching of the water outlet channel, the tolerance is absorbed by the deformation quantity of the seal and the water inlet member, thereby reducing the tolerance requirements for each component. Since the tolerance is absorbed, the fluid diverting mechanism will not fail to switch in place. Among them, the water inlet member having elasticity not only has the function of absorbing tolerances, but also acts as a filter screen in the present invention, so as to achieve tolerance absorption and reduce the use of spare parts on the premise of ensuring that the water outlet device has the function of filtering water. Therefore, the product yield is greatly improved under the condition of reducing the production difficulty and production cost.
