The present application claims the benefit of priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202310320691.2, filed on Mar. 28, 2023, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
The embodiments of this application relate to an intelligent sanitary product field, and more particularly, to a sprinkler and an intelligent toilet.
Compared with traditional toilets, intelligent toilets are designed with functions that are more user-friendly, such as self-cleaning, massage, heating, warm air drying and sterilization. The cleaning function is one of the core functions of the intelligent toilets, and to pursue users' better experience, the cleaning function of the intelligent toilets has also developed accordingly. For example, for cleaning the human body, the intelligent toilet manufacturers have developed different cleaning water patterns to meet different needs based on a user's gender, age, and use demand.
However, the related arts commonly set different shaped water outlets on the washer to realize the different cleaning water patterns. The water can be shaped into different water patterns when flowing through water outlets with different shapes. However, limited by the number of water outlets, the structure only can realize the water patterns corresponding to the number of water outlets. In addition, when switching the water pattern, because the corresponding water outlet needs to be replaced, the water way shall be switched by the distribution valve in a washer, causing a relatively long time gap, thereby resulting in poor user experiences.
The embodiments of this application provide a sprinkler which can improve the current situation where the structure of the water outlet causes a relatively long time gap when switching the water pattern, resulting in a poor user experience.
A technical scheme of the application for solving the above technical problem is to provide a sprinkler which includes a sprinkling mechanism, an adjusting mechanism, and a water supply mechanism. The sprinkling mechanism includes a mixing chamber, a first water distribution chamber and a second water distribution chamber where the first water distribution chamber and the second water distribution chamber are connected to the mixing chamber for sprinkling the vortex water and the straight water respectively from the mixing chamber. The adjusting mechanism includes a water outlet seat and an adjusting cap where the adjusting cap with a water hole can be placed on the water outlet seat in a movable way and the water outlet seat is set with a first water outlet trough and a second water outlet trough for connecting to the first water distribution chamber and the second water distribution chamber respectively. The water supply mechanism is set on the adjustment cap on the side away from the water outlet seat. The adjusting cap and the water outlet seat are in relative motion among the first preset position, the second preset position and the third preset position. At the first preset position, the water supply mechanism is connected to the first water outlet trough; at the second preset position, both the part of the first water outlet trough and the part of the second water outlet trough are connected to the water supply mechanism; at the third preset position, the water supply mechanism is connected to the second water outlet trough.
In some embodiments, along the first direction, the area of the first water outlet trough is M1, and the area of the first water outlet trough along the second direction gradually reduces. The area of the second water outlet trough is M2, and the area of the second water outlet trough along the second direction gradually increases. The area of the water hole is M3. M3 is greater than or equal to M1+M2. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.
In some embodiments, the water outlet seat is cylindrical, and both the first water outlet trough and the second water outlet trough are set surrounding the center of a circle of the water outlet seat. The water outlet seat includes a first water outlet which is set at the bottom of the first water outlet trough and is connected to the first water distribution chamber and a second water outlet which is set at the bottom of the second water outlet trough and is connected to the second water distribution chamber.
In some embodiments, along the second direction, the first water outlet trough gradually reduces in depth and the first water outlet is set at the bottom of the first water outlet trough with the maximum depth; and the second water outlet trough gradually increases in depth and the second water outlet is set at the bottom of the second water outlet trough with the maximum depth.
In some embodiments, along the first direction, the adjusting cap is pie-shaped, the water hole extends radially along the adjusting cap, and the width of an end of the water hole far away from the center of a circle of the adjusting cap is larger than or equal to the width of an end of the water hole close to the center of a circle of the adjusting cap.
In some embodiments, a body of the mixing chamber is cylindrical; the first water distribution chamber is connected to the mixing chamber, with the first water distribution port at the connection; the second water distribution chamber is connected to the mixing chamber, with the second water distribution port at the connection; and at least one of the first or the second water distribution port extends tangentially to the body of the mixing chamber, and the directions of the first and the second water distribution port are not collinear.
In some embodiments, the first water distribution port is connected to the mixing chamber and the first water distribution chamber along the tangent of the mixing chamber; and the second water distribution chamber is set with two second water distribution ports which are connected to the mixing chamber and the second water distribution port along the tangent direction of relative two ends of the radial direction of the mixing chamber.
In some embodiments, the diameter of the first water distribution port is smaller than that of the first water distribution chamber; and the diameter of the second water distribution port is smaller than that of the second water distribution chamber.
In some embodiments, the mixing chamber is set with a third water outlet with the diameter smaller than that of the mixing chamber and a fourth water outlet with the diameter larger than that of the third water outlet.
The other technical scheme of the application for solving the above technical problem is to provide an intelligent toilet including the sprinkler above.
The beneficial effect of the embodiments of this application is that, different from related arts, the embodiments of this application provide a sprinkler which includes a sprinkling mechanism, an adjusting mechanism and a water supply mechanism. The sprinkling mechanism includes a mixing chamber, a first water distribution chamber and a second water distribution chamber where the first water distribution chamber and the second water distribution chamber are connected to the mixing chamber for sprinkling the vortex water and the straight water respectively from the mixing chamber. The adjusting mechanism includes a water outlet seat and an adjusting cap where the adjusting cap with a water hole can be placed on the water outlet seat in a movable way and the water outlet seat is set with a first water outlet trough and a second water outlet trough for connecting to the first water distribution chamber and the second water distribution chamber respectively. The water supply mechanism is set on the adjustment cap on the side away from the water outlet seat. The adjusting cap and the water outlet seat are in relative motion among the first preset position, the second preset position and the third preset position. At the first preset position, the water supply mechanism is connected to the first water outlet trough; at the second preset position, both the part of the first water outlet trough and the part of the second water outlet trough are connected to the water supply mechanism; at the third preset position, the water supply mechanism is connected to the second water outlet trough. Above structure keeps connection between the first water outlet trough and the first water distribution chamber, and/or, between the second water outlet trough and the second water distribution chamber in relative motion among the first preset position, the second preset position and the third preset position so as to realize the stepless regulation between vortex flow and straight flow from the mixing chamber without the need of circuit break and water sprinkling again, providing convenience.
