Detailed description of the invention
In order to more clearly explain the embodiment of the invention or the technical proposal in the existing technology, to embodiment or will show below
There is attached drawing needed in technical description to be briefly described, it should be apparent that, the accompanying drawings in the following description is only this
Some embodiments of invention for those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts, can be with
It obtains other drawings based on these drawings.
Fig. 1 is overall structure diagram of the invention;
Fig. 2 is assembled inside schematic diagram of the invention;
Fig. 3 is the schematic diagram of internal structure of jet assembly of the invention.
Coding in figure is respectively:2 be silica gel sealing ring, and 3 be cavity, and 4 be mounting bar, and 5 be decorative layer, and 6 be atomization spray
Mouth, 7 be ceramic tile, and 8 be diaphragm seal, and 9 be outlet pipe, and 11 be intake antrum, and 12 be support spring, and 13 be disengaging gas aperture, and 14 be base
Seat item, 15 be memory foam, and 16 is drape over one's shoulders layer outside plastic cement, and 101 be water inlet pipe.
Specific embodiment
As shown in Fig. 2, a kind of ceramic tile is respectively formed an installation including one piece or more of ceramic tile 7 between adjacent two ceramic tile 7
Seam, installation seam is interior to install a pedestal item 14, has an intake antrum 11 among pedestal item 14, and the upper surface of intake antrum 11 is open,
Upper open end two sides are respectively arranged a limit rib, and the input of pedestal item 14 terminates a water inlet pipe 101, water inlet pipe 101 it is defeated
Outlet is communicated with intake antrum 11, and a mounting bar 4 is packed into intake antrum 11, is provided with one towards mounting bar two at the top of mounting bar 4
The decorative layer 5 extended is held, the outboard end bottom of decorative layer 5 opens up a cavity 3;Decorative layer 5 covers installation seam always, makes
It can not be seen, as shown in Figure 1, therefore from the appearance, the present invention is identical as general floor tile structure, shape can be more beautiful
It sees.
A diaphragm seal 8 is arranged in the bottom of mounting bar 4, and diaphragm seal 8 is incorporated in the intake antrum 11 of pedestal item 14, and is sealed whole
A intake antrum 11, the bottom of decorative layer 5 extend to the edge upper end of ceramic tile, and one or more water outlet is arranged in the bottom of mounting bar 4
Pipe 9 passes through diaphragm seal 8 and mounting bar 4 at the top of outlet pipe 9 and stretches out from the bottom surface of decorative layer cavity, and extension end is respectively mounted
One atomizer 6, the bottom of outlet pipe 9 are inserted into intake antrum 11 and contact with the water in intake antrum 11, the bottom of decorative layer 5
Portion is provided with a jet assembly.
In the present embodiment, the bottom of diaphragm seal 8 is provided with one or more support spring 12, one or more support spring
12 upper and lower side is respectively charged into the fixed hub of 11 bottom surface of diaphragm seal 8 and intake antrum, is trampled and is squeezed into when mounting bar
After entering into intake antrum, support spring can be pressurized, therefore after removing pressure, can at once by support spring by diaphragm seal with
And mounting bar jacks up upwards, the height of jack-up is without very high, as long as there is certain depression distance.
In the present embodiment, jet assembly includes a plastic cement serving 16, has a filled cavity among plastic cement serving 16,
A memory foam 15 is packed into filled cavity, the top outside of plastic cement serving 16 opens up more than one disengaging gas aperture 13,
The top of plastic cement serving 16 is fixed with 5 lower end surface gluing of decorative layer, and the bottom of plastic cement serving 16 is bonded in the upper of pedestal item
End face, as shown in figure 3, plastic cement serving can be made to be extruded, the gas in internal memory foam after decorative layer pushes
It can be extruded from disengaging gas aperture, and then the dust of two sides can be blown out, after losing pressure, memory foam restores deformation, again
Suck air.
Wherein, the outer wall of diaphragm seal 8 offers the groove of a circle, and the silica gel sealing ring 2 of a circle, silica gel are wrapped up in groove
2 outer wall dimpling of sealing ring simultaneously contacts sealing with 11 inner wall of intake antrum.By increasing silica gel sealing ring, to increase diaphragm seal and water inlet
Sealing performance between cavity wall.
Wherein, mounting bar 4 is whole uses elastic metallic material, and the color of decorative layer 5 is identical as ceramic tile surface color.Pass through
It is arranged to identical color, is all identical color in shape, just can effectively play the effect of decoration.
After mounting bar is trampled pushing, the water in intake antrum can be squeezed using diaphragm seal, so that water is arranged from outlet pipe
Out, and from atomizer it sprays, atomization sprays water mist, and atomizer is small in size, and the amount of injection will not be very big, can reach drop
Dirt purpose, therefore should not be arranged excessive or reduce spray amount, prevents ceramic tile surface ponding, when pressing to decorative layer and porcelain
After the contact of brick upper surface, it just cannot continue to push, therefore not only beautiful, but also can effective depositing dust.
