When the connecting part 120 is connected to the fixing member 200 by the way of the protrusion 122 and the engaging groove 210, the introducing tube 300 is located at the first position, and meanwhile, the introducing tube 300 is also subjected to the force of the second elastic element 410, so that the introducing tube 300 tends to move to the second position, and the introducing tube 300 is located at the first position due to the pressing of the connecting part 120, and finally, the water flow can sequentially flow through the introducing channel 310, the inside of the container 100, and the guiding channel 320, so that the essential oil can be flushed out by the water flow.

In addition, as can be seen, the direction of the water flow through the inlet channel 310 is opposite to the direction of the water flow through the outlet channel 320, and the opposite direction of the water flow can flush the essential oil from the container 100.

As shown in fig. 3 and 12, fig. 12 is a partially enlarged view at K in fig. 4. The valve core 500 according to the embodiment of the present invention is disposed in the water distributing body 400, and the valve core 500 can move between a first position and a second position, and can block the first water flow passage 2100 and the introduction passage 310 when the valve core 500 is located at the first position, and the first water flow passage 2100 and the introduction passage 310 are communicated when the valve core 500 is located at the second position.

The switching assembly 700 comprises a push button 710 and a push plate 720, wherein the push plate 720 comprises a clamping portion 723, a first recess 721 and a second recess 722, and the clamping portion 723 can be clamped in the clamping groove 510 of the valve core 500. The push button 710 is coupled to the push plate 720, and when the user pushes the push button 710, the push plate 720 can move the valve cartridge 500 between the first position and the second position.

The water outlet device further comprises a positioning assembly 800, and the positioning assembly 800 can selectively position the valve core 500 at a first position or a second position. The positioning assembly 800 includes a first elastic element 820 and a positioning pin 810, and one end of the first elastic element 820 abuts against the water-separating body 400. The positioning pin 810 is connected to the other end of the first elastic member 820. The first elastic member 820 may be a compression spring.

When the spool 500 is located at the first position, the detent pin 810 is located in the first recess 721. When the valve spool 500 is located at the second position, the positioning pin 810 is positioned in the second recess 722. The valve core 500 can be selectively positioned at the first position or the second position by the cooperation of the first and

second recesses

721 and 722 and the positioning pin 810, and the valve core 500 is prevented from being accidentally moved to cause the accidental connection or blocking between the first water flow passage 2100 and the introduction passage 310.

As shown in fig. 13 and 14, fig. 13 is a cross-sectional view taken along section line a-a of fig. 1 with the valve cartridge 500 in the first position. Fig. 14 is a cross-sectional view taken along section line B-B of fig. 1, with the valve spool 500 in a first position. In this embodiment, the user can operate the push button 710 to move the valve element 500 to the first position, and when the valve element 500 is at the first position, the positioning pin 810 is positioned in the first recess 721. When the valve core 500 is at the first position, the valve core 500 can block the first water flow passage 2100 and the introduction passage 310 so that water flow can not flow through the first water flow passage 2100 and can flow out of the housing through the second water flow passage 2200.

The manner of closing the valve body 500 and the introduction pipe 300 will be described in detail below with reference to fig. 15.

As shown in fig. 15, fig. 15 is a partially enlarged view at L in fig. 13. Referring to fig. 12 and 15, in fig. 12, the valve body 500 is located at the second position, in which the valve body 500 is spaced apart from the introduction pipe 300, so that the first water passage 2100 communicates with the introduction passage 310. As shown in fig. 15, the valve body 500 is located at the first position, and at this time, the first sealing ring 355 is provided between the valve body 500 and the introduction pipe 300, so that the first water passage 2100 and the introduction passage 310 are not communicated with each other.

As shown in fig. 16 to 18, fig. 16 is a schematic view of the structure of fig. 4 with the container 100 removed. Fig. 17 is a schematic view of the structure of fig. 5 with the container 100 removed. Fig. 18 is a partial enlarged view at M in fig. 16. The water outlet device of the embodiment of the invention is not provided with the container 100, and at this time, the introducing pipe 300 is not pressed by the container 100 and moves to the second position by being pressed by the second elastic element 410. When the inlet pipe 300 is located at the second position, the second sealing ring 356 and the third sealing ring 357 are sealed between the inlet pipe 300 and the water diversion body 400, so that the first water flow passage 2100 and the inlet passage 310 are not communicated with each other, and water cannot enter the inlet passage 310 through the opening 360 of the inlet pipe 300.

In addition, the fourth ring groove 354 of the inlet pipe 300 is further provided with a fourth sealing ring 358, and the fourth sealing ring 358 is sealed between the fixing member 200 and the inlet pipe 300, so that the water flowing along the second water flow passage 2200 is prevented from flowing backwards and leaking out of the water outlet device from the gap between the fixing member 200 and the inlet pipe 300, and the sealing performance of the water outlet device according to the embodiment of the invention is further ensured.

That is, the water discharge apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention can be used according to a general spray head when the container 100 is not installed. When the container 100 is installed, the water outlet device of the embodiment of the invention can realize the combination of the functional substance and the micro-bubble water, and further enhance the effect of the functional substance.

Of course, it should be understood that the first water flow passage 2100 and the introduction passage 310 do not communicate with each other when the introduction tube 300 is located at the second position. At this time, whether the spool 500 is in the first position or the second position does not affect the design in which the first water passage 2100 and the introduction passage 310 are not communicated with each other.

As shown in fig. 3 and 11, the outlet device further includes a check valve 420 downstream of the outlet channel 320, and the check valve 420 is used for preventing the water from flowing reversely.

As shown in fig. 19, in a modified embodiment, the container 100 is detachably disposed in the water outlet device, for example, the container 100 may be tubular and disposed in a handle portion 1140 of the water outlet device, and the handle portion 1140 may be detachably connected to the spraying portion 1160 through a threaded structure, so as to facilitate the detachment and installation of the container 100. The container 100 has two openings 101, and the liquid supplied from the water supply pipe can sequentially pass through the two openings 101, thereby carrying out the functional substances such as essential oil stored in the container 100, and continuously flowing into the microbubble generator 1300 in the spraying section 1160, thereby generating the microbubble water with the essential oil.

As shown in fig. 20, in another modified embodiment, the introducing structure is a suction passage 910, and the suction passage 910 communicates with the inside of the container 100 and the micro bubble generating tube 1341, respectively. When the liquid supplied from the water supply pipe flows through the micro bubble generating tube 1341, the functional substance can be sucked into the first water flow channel 2100.

Specifically, the microbubble generation tube 1341 may be a flow path having a gradually increasing cross-sectional area in the water flow direction, or may be a flow path having a stepped cross-sectional area in the water flow direction. When the water flow passes through the microbubble generation tube 1341, microbubble water is generated due to a difference in air solubility caused by a pressure difference. When the hot water supplied from the water supply pipe passes through the microbubble generation tube 1341, the pressure at the small diameter of the microbubble generation tube is reduced, and the essential oil stored in the container 100 is sucked into the microbubble generation tube, as is known from the venturi principle, and the microbubble water with the essential oil is finally formed.

As shown in fig. 21, in a further modified embodiment, the introducing structure is a suction channel 910, the water outlet device further includes a suction channel 920, the suction channel 910 is respectively connected to the inside of the container 100 and the micro-bubble generating tube 1341, the suction channel 920 is connected to the micro-bubble generating tube 1341, and the outside air can enter the micro-bubble generating tube 1341 through the suction channel 920.

Particularly, when water flows through the small-diameter part of the microbubble generation tube, the water flow is accelerated, and according to the venturi principle, certain negative pressure is generated in the small-diameter part, so that the essential oil in the container 100 is sucked through the suction channel 910, and the external air is sucked through the suction flow channel 920, so that the air, the water flow and the essential oil are fully mixed in the microbubble generation tube, and finally, the microbubble water with the essential oil is formed.

As shown in fig. 22 and 23, fig. 22 is a schematic structural diagram of a microbubble generator according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 23 shows a cross-sectional view along section line D-D in fig. 22. The microbubble generator 1300 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a base portion 1320, a protrusion portion 1340, and a side stopper portion 1360, the base portion 1320 may have a substantially disk shape, the protrusion portion 1340 is provided on one side of the base portion 1320, and the microbubble generation tube 1341 is provided on the protrusion portion 1340. The side stops 1360 may be provided on the outer periphery of the base portion 1320.

Of course, it is understood that the base portion 1320 may not be a complete disk, for example, the base portion 1320 of the present embodiment further has a notch 1321, and the notch 1321 is used for disposing other components of the water outlet device therein, so as to avoid the base portion 1320 interfering with other components.

It should be understood that the shape of the base body 1320 is not limited to a disk shape, and the base body may have other shapes and may be adapted to the shape of the spraying portion 1160, which are not listed here.

When the base portion 1320 is disc-shaped, the base portion 1320 defines an axial direction Q, a radial direction S, and a radial plane P perpendicular to the axial direction Q. Wherein the axial direction Q and the radial direction S are perpendicular to each other.

As shown in fig. 4, the cover 1500 includes a cover 1520 and a side portion 1540, the side portion 1540 is disposed at an outer periphery of the cover 1520, the cover 1520 has a plurality of outlet holes 1521, and the outlet holes 1521 are capable of spraying micro-bubble water along the second water flow direction D2. The plurality of outlet holes 1521 may be uniformly arranged in a radial shape on the cover 1520. Since the outer periphery of the cover 1520 has a larger diameter than the inner periphery, the number of the outlet holes 1521 in the outer periphery of the cover 1520 is larger than the number of the outlet holes 1521 in the inner periphery.

When the cover 1500 is connected to the spraying portion 1160, the side portion 1540 may be connected to the spraying portion 1160 and disposed adjacent to a water outlet end of the micro bubble generating tube 1341, and the side portion 1540 may buffer the micro bubble water flowing out from the water outlet end, so that the micro bubble generating tube 1341 may stably generate micro bubbles. In the prior art or the related art, the arrangement mode that the first water flow direction is the same as the second water flow direction is adopted, and a baffle plate is often required to be arranged near the water outlet end of the micro bubble generating tube and plays a role in buffering micro bubble water. In the embodiment of the present invention, the micro-bubble water is ejected from the water outlet end and then directly collides with the side portion 1540 of the face cover 1500, so as to play a role of buffering the micro-bubble water without additionally providing a baffle.

Of course, it is understood that the side stop 1360 of the microbubble generator 1300 may also serve to buffer the water flow. The side barriers 1360 may function to buffer the micro bubble water together with the side 1540 of the surface cover 1500, or the side barriers 1360 may function to buffer the micro bubble water alone.

In an embodiment, the second water flow direction D2 may be parallel to the axial direction Q.

As shown in fig. 22 and 23, the number of the protrusions 1340 is two, and the two protrusions 1340 are disposed on the same side of the base 1320 and are disposed in a central symmetry manner with respect to the center point of the base 1320. Each protrusion 1340 is provided with four micro air bubble generating tubes 1341, and each micro air bubble generating tube 1341 sequentially includes a first flow channel 13411 and a second flow channel 13412 along the first water flow direction D1, wherein a flow path sectional area of the first flow channel 13411 is smaller than a flow path sectional area of the second flow channel 13412, so that an inner wall of the micro air bubble generating tube 1341 is formed in a stepped shape. When the water flow passes through the first flow passage 13411 having a smaller flow path sectional area, the flow velocity of the water flow increases; when the water flows through the second flow passage 13412 having a larger flow path sectional area, the flow velocity of the water decreases.

As shown in fig. 22, the base portion 1320 has a substantially disc shape and defines an axial direction Q, a radial direction S, and a radial plane P perpendicular to the axial direction Q. The first water flow direction D1 is parallel to the radial plane P, and an included angle β is formed between the first water flow direction D1 and the radial direction S. With such a design, since the extending direction of the microbubble generation tubes 1341 (the first water flow direction D1) is not along the radial direction S but is inclined with respect to the radial direction S, the dimension of the base member 1320 in the radial direction S can be reduced as much as possible when the length of the microbubble generation tubes 1341 is constant.

In combination with the above-mentioned design that the first water flow direction D1 and the second water flow direction D2 are perpendicular to each other, and the first water flow direction D1 is parallel to the radial plane P, and has an included angle with the radial direction S, on the premise of ensuring the length dimension of the microbubble generating tube 1341, the dimension of the spraying portion 1160 along the axial direction Q and the radial direction S can be reduced as much as possible, and the spraying portion 1160 with a smaller overall dimension is finally designed.

Of course, it is understood that the microbubble generation tube 1341 may also have a horn shape. Specifically, the microbubble generation tube 1341 has a water inlet end and a water outlet end, and extends in the direction from the water inlet end to the water outlet end, so that the flow path cross-sectional area of the microbubble generation tube 1341 gradually increases.

It is to be understood that the number of the microbubble generation tubes 1341 is not particularly limited in the present invention, and those skilled in the art can increase or decrease the number of the microbubble generation tubes 1341 depending on the amount of water discharged.

The water flow direction in the water outlet device will be described in detail below by taking the embodiment shown in fig. 24 as an example. Fig. 24 is a cross-sectional view of the water outlet device according to an embodiment of the invention, in which the first water flow direction D1 is perpendicular to the second water flow direction D2. As shown in fig. 24, the first water flow direction D1 is substantially perpendicular to the second water flow direction D2, and the first water flow direction D1 in the microbubble generation tube 1341 flows from the inner periphery to the outer periphery of the microbubble generator 1300 until the flow reaches the vicinity of the outer periphery of the cover 1500, and is blocked and buffered by the side portion 1540. Then, a part of the micro bubble water is emitted from the water outlet hole 1521 disposed near the outer periphery of the face cover 1500, and another part of the micro bubble water flows to the inner periphery of the face cover 1500 along the gap 1600 between the micro bubble generator 1300 and the face cover 1500, and is gradually emitted from the water outlet hole 1521 during the inward flow.

Because the plurality of water outlet holes 1521 are uniformly arranged on the surface cover 1500 in a radial manner, the outer circumference of the surface cover 1500 is larger than the inner circumference, so that the number of the water outlet holes 1521 near the outer circumference of the surface cover 1500 is larger than the number of the water outlet holes 1521 near the inner circumference. Therefore, most of the generated micro-bubble water can be ejected from the outer periphery of the face cover 1500 provided with a large number of the water outlet holes 1521, and a small part of the micro-bubble water is ejected from the inner periphery of a small number of the water outlet holes 1521. Compared with the scheme that most of micro bubble water is concentrated on the inner periphery of the surface cover 1500 in the prior art or the related art, the water outlet mode of the embodiment of the invention enables the water outlet of the inner periphery and the outer periphery of the surface cover 1500 to be more uniform.

Of course, it is understood that the first water flow direction D1 and the second water flow direction D2 can also be arranged in the manner of the embodiment shown in fig. 25. Fig. 25 shows a cross-sectional view of the water outlet device according to an embodiment of the invention, wherein an acute angle is formed between the first water flow direction D1 and the second water flow direction D2. As shown in fig. 25, an acute angle α 1 is formed between the first water flow direction D1 and the second water flow direction D2, and the acute angle may be greater than or equal to 45 degrees and smaller than 90 degrees, and further, the acute angle is greater than or equal to 80 degrees and smaller than 90 degrees, such as 81 degrees, 82 degrees, 83 degrees, 84 degrees, 85 degrees, 86 degrees, 87 degrees, 88 degrees, and 89 degrees.

Of course, it can be understood that, as shown in fig. 26, fig. 26 is a cross-sectional view of the water outlet device according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the first water flow direction D1 and the second water flow direction D2 form an obtuse angle therebetween. The first water flow direction D1 and the second water flow direction D2 form an obtuse angle α 2 therebetween, which may be greater than 90 degrees and equal to or less than 120 degrees, and further, the obtuse angle may be greater than 90 degrees and equal to or less than 100 degrees, such as 91 degrees, 92 degrees, 93 degrees, 94 degrees, 95 degrees, 96 degrees, 97 degrees, 98 degrees, and 99 degrees.

In another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a water outlet apparatus, including a body and a container detachably connected to the body, wherein the body is the water outlet apparatus according to any of the above embodiments, the container stores a functional substance, the functional substance can be introduced into the body through an introduction structure of the body, and under the action of a micro-bubble generator of the body, the functional substance is sufficiently refined into micro-particles, so as to improve the utilization rate and efficacy of the functional substance.

In another aspect of the present invention, a method for improving the cleaning or cosmetic effect of a water outlet device is provided, which includes the following steps: connecting a container stored with functional substances to any one of the water outlet devices;

after water is introduced, the functional substance is introduced into the micro-bubble generator by the introduction structure of the water outlet device, and the functional substance is mixed with the water and is refined into micro-particles under the action of the micro-bubble generator, and then is sprayed out by the spraying part of the water outlet device. The micro particles can reach the size smaller than the pores, and the micronized functional substances can deeply penetrate into the pores for cleaning or nursing, so that the cleaning or beautifying effect of the water outlet device is improved.

In summary, the water outlet device, the water outlet apparatus and the method for improving the cleaning or beauty effect of the water outlet device of the embodiment of the invention have the advantages and beneficial effects that:

the water outlet device provided by the embodiment of the invention can be connected with a container storing functional substances, the functional substances can be introduced into the water outlet device through the introduction structure, and under the action of the micro-bubble generator, the functional substances are fully refined into micro-particles to be combined with micro-bubble water generated in the water outlet device, so that the water outlet device provided by the embodiment of the invention can finally spray the micro-bubble water with the micro-particle functional substances. Because the water outlet device of the embodiment of the invention adopts the technical means that the functional substances are fully refined into micro-particles and combined with the micro-bubble water, the additional function realized by the micro-bubble water on the functional substances is further strengthened, and the special effect of 'one plus one is more than two' is achieved instead of simply combining the functional substances and the micro-bubble water.
