Abstract

A brushing sprayer includes a pipe body, a diverter, a control assembly and a brushing head. A pipe body includes an inlet end and an outlet opening communicating with each other. A diverter is positioned in the pipe body, and includes a first flow way, a second flow way and a third flow way communicating with each other and communicating with the inlet end and the outlet end of the pipe body. A control assembly passes through the pipe body, and is connected to the diverter. The control assembly is adapted to plug two selected from the group consisting of the first flow way, the second flow way and the third flow way, whereby a water flow could be regulated by the control assembly to outlet from the first flow way, the second flow way or the third flow way. The brushing head is positioned on the outlet end of the pipe body.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A brushing sprayer, comprising:
a pipe body, comprising an inlet end and an outlet end, wherein the inlet end has an inlet opening, and the outlet end has a first outlet opening, a second outlet opening and a third outlet opening, the inlet opening, the first outlet opening, the second outlet opening and the third outlet opening communicate with each other;
a diverter, positioned in the pipe body, and comprising a first flow way, a second flow way and a third flow way communicating with each other, wherein the first flow way, the second flow way and the third flow way communicate with the inlet opening, the first outlet opening, the second outlet opening and the third outlet opening;
a control assembly, passing through the pipe body, and connected to the diverter; the control assembly is adapted to plug two selected from a group consisting of the first flow way, the second flow way and the third flow way, whereby a water flow could be regulated by the control assembly to outlet from the first flow way, the second flow way or the third flow way; and
a brushing head, positioned on the outlet end of the pipe body,
wherein the control assembly comprises a first plug and a second plug, the first plug is positioned corresponding to the first flow, the second flow way and the third flow way, and the second plug is positioned corresponding to the second flow way and the third flow way, and
wherein the diverter comprises a first diverting well and a second diverting well communicating with each other, the first diverting well has a first through hole and a second through hole, the first diverting well communicates with the second diverting well through the second through hole, the first through hole communicates with first flow way, and the second through hold communicates with the second flow way and the third flow way; the second diverting well has a third through hole and a fourth through hole, the third through hole communicates with the second flow ay, and the fourth through hole communicates with the third flow way.

2. The brushing sprayer of claim 1 , wherein when the control assembly plugs the second flow way and the third flow way, the water flow outlets from the second flow way.

3. The brushing sprayer of claim 1 , wherein when the control assembly plugs the first flow way and the second flow way, the water flow outlets from the third flow way.

4. The brushing sprayer of claim 1 , wherein when the control assembly plugs the first flow way and the second flow way, the water flow outlets from the third flow way.

5. The brushing sprayer of claim 1 , wherein when the first plug plugs the first flow way, and the second plug plugs the second flow way, the water flow outlets from the third flow way.

6. The brushing sprayer of claim 1 , wherein when the first plug plugs the first flow way, and the second plug plugs the third flow way, the water flow outlets from the second flow way.

7. The brushing sprayer of claim 1 , wherein when the first plug does not plug the first flow way, the first plug plugs the second flow way and the third flow way, whereby the water flow outlets from the first flow way.

8. The brushing sprayer of claim 1 , wherein the first plug correspondingly passes into the first diverting well, and the second plug correspondingly passes into the second diverting well.

9. The brushing sprayer of claim 8 , wherein when the first plug plugs the first through hole of the first diverting well, and the second plug plugs the third through hole of the second diverting well, the water flow outlets from the third flow way.

10. The brushing sprayer of claim 8 , wherein when the first plug plugs the first through hole of the first diverting well, and the second plug plugs the fourth through hole of the second diverting well, the water flow outlets from the second flow way.

11. The brushing sprayer of claim 8 , wherein when the first plug plugs the second through hole of the first diverting well, the water flow outlets from the first flow way.

12. The brushing sprayer of claim 8 , wherein the control assembly comprises a linked structure connected to the first plug and the second plug, when the first plug plugs the first through hole of the first diverting well, the second plug is driven by the first plug to plug the fourth through hole of the second diverting well.

13. The brushing sprayer of claim 1 , wherein the brushing head comprises a brushing portion and a rotating assembly, the rotating assembly is positioned in the pipe body, the brushing portion and the rotating assembly are connected to each other, and when the rotating assembly rotates, the rotating assembly drives the brushing portion to rotate.

14. The brushing sprayer of claim 13 , wherein the rotating assembly comprises a water power member, the water power member is positioned on the first flow way; when the water flow flows through the water power member along the first flow way, the water flow drives the water power member to rotate, and drives the brushing portion to rotate simultaneously.

15. The brushing sprayer of claim 14 , wherein the rotating assembly is a planetary gear decelerator, the water power member is a sun gear of the planetary gear decelerator, and the brushing portion is connected to a ring wheel of the planetary gear decelerator; a planetary gear carrier is positioned between the water power member and the brushing portion; when the sun gear rotates, the sun gear transmits a rotation force to the ring wheel through the planetary gear carrier, whereby to rotate the ring wheel, so as to drive the brushing portion to rotate.

16. The brushing sprayer of claim 14 , wherein the rotating assembly is a dual gear decelerator, the water power member is a fan gear of the dual gear decelerator, and the brushing portion is connected to a driven gear of the dual gear decelerator; a dual gear assembly is positioned between the water power member and the brushing portion; when the fan gear rotates, the fan gear transmits a rotation force to the driven gear through the dual gear assembly, whereby to rotate the driven gear, so as to drive the brushing portion to rotate.

17. The brushing sprayer of claim 13 , wherein the brushing portion comprises a brushing pad and a support, the brushing pad and the support are detachably connected to each other.

18. The brushing sprayer of claim 17 , wherein the brushing pad and the support are detachably connected in a snap-fit connection or in a threaded connection.
