CROSS-REFERENCE TO PRIOR APPLICATION
Priority is claimed to Chinese Patent Application No. 202221348094.8, filed on May 31, 2022, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
FIELD
The utility model relates to the field of spray, and in particular, to a spray device.
BACKGROUND
To use a conventional spray device, a spray head cover usually needs to be removed first. A spray head cover of a detachable design is easy to lose. A liquid vaporization medium is sprayed out from a spray head and sprayed at 90° to a spray core, which often requires a user to tilt a bottle body to spray the vaporization medium, resulting in a poor user experience. There is also a spray device without a spray head cover, which is easy to use, but it is easy to cause spray head pollution.
SUMMARY
In an embodiment, the present invention provides a spray device, comprising: a housing; a spray head assembly; and a spray head cover, wherein a liquid storage cavity is provided inside the housing, wherein the spray head assembly partially protrudes from the housing and is in communication with the liquid storage cavity, the spray head assembly comprising a spray nozzle, wherein the spray head cover is rotatably arranged on the housing and covers the spray head assembly, a spray hole being provided on the spray head cover, wherein, when the spray head cover is rotated to a first position, the spray hole is correspondingly in communication with the spray head assembly, and when the spray head assembly is pressed, a liquid vaporization medium in the liquid storage cavity is configured to be sprayed out from the spray hole, and wherein, when the spray head cover is rotated to a second position, the spray head cover covers the spray nozzle and is locked with the housing to block the liquid vaporization medium in the liquid storage cavity from being sprayed out.

FIG. 1 shows some preferred embodiments of a spray device of the utility model. The spray device can be configured to spray a vaporization medium. The spray device has advantages of a simple structure, an easy and convenient operation and a good user experience.
As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 9, the spray device includes a housing 10, a spray head assembly 20, and a spray head cover 30. The housing 10 is configured to store a liquid vaporization medium. The spray head assembly 20 partially protrudes from the housing 10 and is in communication with the liquid storage cavity 111 of the housing 10. The spray head cover 30 is rotatably arranged on the housing 10 and covers the spray head assembly 20. When spraying is required, the spray head cover 30 can be rotated to a first position, so that a spray hole 311 on the spray head cover 30 is correspondingly in communication with the spray head assembly 20, that is, the spray head assembly 20 is in an opening state, and then the spray head cover 30 is pressed to press the spray head assembly 20 so that the liquid vaporization medium in the liquid storage cavity 111 can be sprayed out. When spraying is not required, the spray head cover 30 can be rotated to a second position, so that the spray head cover 30 blocks the spray head assembly 20, and the spray head cover 30 can be locked with the housing 10, that is, the spray head assembly 20 is in a closed state, so that the spray head cover 30 cannot be pressed, thereby blocking the liquid vaporization medium in the liquid storage cavity 111 from being sprayed out and preventing a child from misoperating the spray device.
In some embodiments, the housing 10 includes a lower housing 11 and an upper housing 12. The lower housing 11 is of a flat cylindrical structure and is of a hollow structure, and a liquid storage cavity 111 can be formed on the inner side of the lower housing for storing a liquid vaporization medium. An assembly port 112 is arranged at the end of the lower housing 11, and the assembly port 112 is in communication with the liquid storage cavity 111 for assembling the upper housing 12. The upper housing 12 is detachably assembled on the lower housing 11, and the upper housing 12 is configured for installing and fixing the spray head assembly 20 and installing the spray head cover 30.

As shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 12 again, in some embodiments, limiting guide mechanisms 60 are arranged between the spray head cover 30 and the housing 10. Specifically, the limiting guide mechanisms 60 can be divided into two groups. The two groups of the limiting guide mechanisms 60 are arranged corresponding to the two connection portions 32, and each group of the limiting guide mechanisms 60 can be arranged on the connection portion 32 and the inner side wall of the upper housing 121. In some embodiments, the limiting guide mechanism 60 includes a guide limiting groove 61 and a slide block 62. The guide limiting groove 61 is arranged on the inner side wall of the housing 10, that is, the inner side wall of the upper housing 12.

The limiting locking mechanisms 70 can be divided into two groups, and the two groups of the limiting locking mechanisms 70 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the two connection portions 32. Each group of the limiting locking mechanisms 70 is arranged on the connection portion 32 and the inner side wall of the housing 10. In some embodiments, the limiting locking mechanism 70 includes a limiting groove 71, a lock block 72, and a lock rod 73. The limiting groove 71 includes a first limiting portion 711 and a second limiting portion 712. The first limiting portion 711 and the first guide limiting portion 611 are arranged side by side and at an interval, and a distance from the first limiting portion 711 to the opening 120 is greater than a distance from the first guide limiting portion 611 to the opening 120. The first limiting portion 711 extends downward along a longitudinal direction of the upper housing 12 and is configured to press and limit the spray head cover 30. The second limiting portion 712 is arranged at the end of the first limiting portion 711 and is in communication with the first limiting portion 711. The second limiting portion is located on one side of the second guide limiting portion 62, and the second limiting portion 712 may be an arc-shaped groove extending along the circumferential direction of the upper housing 12 to limit the rotation of the spray head cover 30.

Specifically, the lock rod 73 is arranged on the connection portion 32 and located below the slide block 62. The lock rod 73 and the slide block 62 are arranged in a misaligned manner and are slidable in the limiting groove 71. When the lock rod 73 slides to the lock block 72, the lock rod 73 can slide into a locked position formed between the lock block 72 and the second limiting portion 712, and then engage with the lock block 72 for locking. When the spray head cover 30 is rotated to the second position, the spray head cover 30 is locked with the housing 10, so that the spray head cover 30 cannot be pressed, that is, the spray head assembly 20 cannot be pressed to spray, so as to prevent a misoperation or an operation of a child.
As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the spray head cover 30 is rotated to a first position. In this case, the spray device is in an opening state, and the spray hole 311 is correspondingly in communication with the spray head assembly 20. The slide block 62 slides to one end of the second guide limiting portion 612 connected to the first guide limiting portion 611, the lock rod 73 slides to one end of the second guide limiting portion 712 connected to the first limiting portion 711, and the spray head cover 30 and the spray head assembly 20 can be pressed.
As shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 6, the spray head assembly 20 can be pressed by pressing the spray head cover 30 from top to bottom. The slide block 62 can slide downward along the first limiting guide portion 611, and the lock rod 72 can slide downward along the first limiting portion 711, so that the liquid vaporization medium in the liquid storage cavity 13 can be sprayed out from the spray nozzle 2111 of the spray head assembly 20.
As shown in FIG. 7 to FIG. 9, the spray head cover 30 is rotated to a second position. In this case, the spray device is in a closed state, and the spray hole 311 and the spray nozzle 2111 of the spray head assembly 20 are arranged in a misaligned manner, that is, the spray nozzle 2111 of the spray head assembly 20 may be blocked by the spray head cover 30. In this case, the slide block 62 slides to one end of the second guide limiting portion 612 away from the first guide limiting portion 611, and the lock rod 73 engages with the lock block 72 to lock a position. The spray head cover 30 is locked with the housing 10, so that the spray head cover 30 cannot be pressed, that is, the spray head assembly 20 cannot be pressed, thereby preventing a misoperation and an operation of a child.
