Example one

Referring to fig. 1, the spraying structure provided in this embodiment can be used in a spraying system of an ice making machine to avoid the problem that the spraying head 200 is loosened and even falls off in the subsequent use due to frequent disassembly and assembly during the cleaning process of the spraying head 200.

Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 3, the spray structure of the present embodiment includes a spray pipe seat 100 and a predetermined number of spray heads 200; it is understood that a predetermined number of shower heads 200 are provided on the shower base 100 to spray out water for providing the ice maker with water for making ice.

Alternatively, a predetermined number of the shower heads 200 are evenly distributed along the length of the shower base 100.

Further, the shower base 100 is provided with mounting portions 111 for mounting the shower heads 200, wherein the number of the mounting portions 111 is the same as the number of the shower heads 200, that is, the mounting portions 111 and the shower heads 200 are in a corresponding relationship when assembled.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 2 and fig. 3, for better clarity of description of the technical solution, the mounting portion 111 and the showerhead 200 are alternatively described as follows:

the mounting portion 111 includes at least two first limiting members 1110, one end of each first limiting member 1110 is connected to the shower socket 100, and one end of each first limiting member 1110 away from the shower socket 100 is provided with an abutting surface 1110 b. As can be appreciated, the abutment surface 1110b is disposed toward the shower base 100.

In some embodiments, the first retaining member 1110 and the shower socket 100 are integrally formed, so that the first retaining member 1110 is more firmly connected to the shower socket 100.

In other embodiments, the first retaining member 1110 is welded or screwed to the shower base 100.

In the present embodiment, the number of the first limiting members 1110 is two; optionally, the two first limiting members 1110 are arranged on the shower base 100 in a mirror image manner, so as to improve the mounting stability of the shower head 200.

The showerhead 200 includes a showerhead body 210 and at least two second stoppers 220, wherein the two second stoppers 220 are circumferentially disposed along the showerhead body 210.

One end of the second limiting member 220 is connected to the shower head body 210, and the other end of the second limiting member 220 extends in a direction away from the shower head body 210. The shower head body 210 is provided with a water jet 211 at an end thereof away from the shower base 100.

When the shower head 200 is mounted on the mounting portion 111, the second stopper 220 abuts against the abutment surface 1110b to limit the axial displacement of the shower head 200.

Further, in the present embodiment, the number of the second limiting members 220 is two, and the two second limiting members 220 are symmetrically disposed along the axis of the showerhead 200, so as to realize that the first limiting members 1110 correspond to the second limiting members 220.

Of course, it can be understood that the mounting portion 111 further includes a mounting hole 1111 that is adapted to the showerhead body 210, and the mounting hole 1111 is located between the two first stoppers 1110.

The spraying structure that this embodiment provided, when the assembly:

firstly, aligning one end of the shower head body 210 far away from the water outlet 211 with the assembly hole 1111, and at the same time, making two second limiting members 220 on the shower head body 210 and two first limiting members 1110 of the mounting part 111 dislocated;

secondly, inserting the shower head body 210 into the assembly hole 1111, applying a certain pressure, and then rotating the shower head body 210 to align the two second limiting members 220 on the shower head body 210 with the two first limiting members 1110 of the mounting portion 111;

third, the pressure applied to the showerhead body 210 is released, and the second position limiting member 220 of the showerhead body 210 abuts against one end of the first position limiting member 1110 away from the showerhead seat 100.

Thus, it can be understood that when the showerhead 200 is mounted to the mounting portion 111, the showerhead body 210 is inserted into the fitting hole 1111 to communicate with the inside of the shower socket 100, thereby enabling the water flow in the shower socket 100 to be ejected along the water outlet 211 of the showerhead body 210.

It can also be understood that, at the same time, the second limiting member 220 on the shower head body 210 abuts against one end of the first limiting member 1110 away from the shower base 100, and then the shower head 200 is limited by the first limiting member 1110 when moving along the axial direction, thereby realizing the limitation of the displacement of the shower head 200 along the axial direction. In other words, during the use of the shower structure, the pressure of the water pressure in the shower base 100 on the shower head 200 is offset by the first retaining member 1110.

Of course, the spraying structure provided by the embodiment, when unpicking and washing:

firstly, by applying a certain pressure to the shower head body 210 again, the abutting force between the second limiting member 220 and the first limiting member 1110 on the shower head body 210 is reduced or released;

then, the showerhead body 210 is rotated to make the second position-limiting member 220 and the first position-limiting member 1110 on the showerhead body 210 dislocated;

finally, the shower head 200 is pulled out in a direction away from the shower base 100 by releasing the pressure applied to the shower head body 210, and the shower base 100 and the shower head 200 can be cleaned.

Therefore, the spraying structure provided by the embodiment is simple in structure and more convenient to disassemble and assemble. Meanwhile, the first limiting part 1110 is in limiting fit with the second limiting part 220, so that the problem that the spray header 200 is loosened or even falls off in subsequent use due to frequent disassembly and assembly in the cleaning process of the spray header 200 is effectively solved, and the stability of the spray header 200 in the use process is better.

Example two

Referring to fig. 1, the spraying structure provided in this embodiment can be used in a spraying system of an ice making machine to avoid the problem that the spraying head 200 is loosened and even falls off in the subsequent use due to frequent disassembly and assembly during the cleaning process of the spraying head 200. The present embodiment is an improvement on the first embodiment, and compared with the first embodiment, the difference is that:

referring to fig. 1, fig. 2 and fig. 4, in the present embodiment, the first limiting member 1110 includes an inverted "L" shaped hook plate 1110a, that is, the hook plate 1110a is disposed on the shower base 100 in an inverted manner. The end surface of the hook plate 1110a away from the shower base 100 is an abutting surface 1110b, and the abutting surface 1110b is provided with a first positioning portion 1110 c.

The second stopper 220 includes a wing 221, and a second positioning portion 222 engaged with the first positioning portion 1110c is provided on a surface of the wing 221 abutting against the abutting surface 1110 b.

However, it can be understood that the wing plate 221 abuts against the abutting surface 1110b of the hook plate 1110a to restrict the displacement of the shower head 200 in the axial direction.

Further, a reinforcing rib plate 223 is further disposed between the wing plate 221 and the shower head body 210 to improve the connection strength between the wing plate 221 and the shower head body 210, so as to prevent the wing plate 221 from deforming when abutting against the hook plate 1110a, and further improve the effect of displacement in the axial direction of the shower head 200.

In addition, when the second positioning portion 222 of the wing panel 221 is engaged with the first positioning portion 1110c of the hook plate 1110a, the shower head 200 is rotated in the circumferential direction, so that the first stopper 1110 is engaged with the second stopper 220 more tightly, in other words, the abutment between the wing panel 221 and the hook portion of the hook plate 1110a is not easily released.

Therefore, it can be understood that, due to the cooperation between the first positioning portion 1110c and the second positioning portion 222, the first limiting member 1110 and the second limiting member 220 cannot be easily dislocated without intervention of external force, thereby effectively avoiding misoperation and improving the installation stability of the showerhead 200.

Specifically, in some embodiments, the first positioning portion 1110c is a boss, and the second positioning portion 222 is a groove, that is, when the boss is aligned with the groove, it means that the first limiting member 1110 is aligned with the second limiting member 220, if the first limiting member 1110 and the second limiting member 220 are dislocated, the boss and the groove must be disengaged.

In addition, it can be understood that when the boss is aligned with the groove, since the end of the hook plate 1110a away from the shower base 100 is a free end, a warning sound, such as a "click" sound, a "click" sound or other sounds, may be generated due to vibration. When the shower head 200 is installed, it can be determined that the boss and the groove are aligned and matched after hearing the warning sound, that is, the wing plate 221 is aligned with the hook plate 1110a, that is, the shower head 200 is installed in place. And then need not to go to observe through the vision again during the assembly, it is more convenient, swift only to judge through sound and sense of touch.

In other embodiments, the first positioning portion 1110c may be a groove, and the second positioning portion 222 may be a boss, which have the same principle and effect as described above and are not described herein again.

In other embodiments, the boss is in a segment structure, and the corresponding groove is also in a segment structure and is used for being matched with the boss.

Referring to fig. 2, in order to effectively limit the rotation of the showerhead 200, a stopper 224 is disposed on one side of at least one wing 221, and the stopper 224 extends away from the shower base 100.

When the wing panel 221 is aligned with the hook panel 1110a, the stopper 224 on the wing panel 221 is in surface contact with the side of the hook panel 1110a, further limiting the rotation of the showerhead 200 in one direction, which may be clockwise or counterclockwise.

Further, a side of the wing 221 remote from the stopper 224 is provided with a wedge surface 225, and the provision of the wedge surface 225 reduces resistance to the rotation of the wing 221 into the abutment surface 1110 b.

In the present embodiment, the two wing plates 221 are each provided with a stopper 224, and the stoppers 224 on the two wing plates 221 are centrosymmetric with respect to a point where a plane formed by the two wing plates 221 intersects with the axis of the showerhead body 210.

EXAMPLE III

Referring to fig. 1, the spraying structure provided in this embodiment can be used in a spraying system of an ice making machine to avoid the problem that the spraying head 200 is loosened and even falls off in the subsequent use due to frequent disassembly and assembly during the cleaning process of the spraying head 200. The present embodiment is an improvement made on the basis of the first embodiment or the second embodiment, and compared with the first embodiment or the second embodiment, the difference is that:

referring to fig. 1, fig. 2 and fig. 3, in this embodiment, the shower socket 100 includes a hollow tube 110 and plugs 120 disposed at two ends of the tube 110, wherein the plugs 120 are in interference fit with the tube 110.

After the retaining protrusion 122a is engaged with the retaining groove 110a, the movement of the plug 120 in a direction away from the tube 110 is limited, that is, the retaining engagement between the plug 120 and the tube 110 is achieved.

In this embodiment, two retaining protrusions 122a and two retaining grooves 110a are provided to improve the retaining effect of the plug 120 and the tube 110.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4, the pipe body 110 is provided with a mounting portion 111, that is, a mounting hole 1111 for mounting the showerhead body 210 is also provided on the pipe body 110, and the mounting hole 1111 communicates with the inside of the pipe body 110. When the shower head body 210 is inserted into the fitting hole 1111, the water discharge port 211 of the shower head body 210 is communicated with the inside of the pipe body 110 for discharging water.

Further, the circumferential direction of the fitting hole 1111 is provided with a positioning protruding ring 1111a, and when the shower head body 210 is installed in the fitting hole 1111, one end of the positioning protruding ring 1111a, which is far away from the pipe body 110, abuts against the wing plate 221, thereby limiting the depth of the shower head body 210 inserted into the pipe body 110.

Optionally, when the shower head body 210 is installed in the mounting hole 1111, the end of the shower head body 210 away from the water outlet 211 is flush with the inner wall 112 of the pipe body 110, so as to ensure that water in the pipe body 110 can be drained completely, avoid water residue, and keep clean and sanitary.
