Abstract

The present disclosure provides a water sliding device. The water sliding device includes a sliding portion and a water valve. The sliding portion has a sliding surface suitable for a user sliding thereon, wherein a water spray pipe, which has a plurality of water spray holes, is disposed on the sliding portion. The water spray pipe is adapted to be connected with a water source via the water valve, and the water valve is adapted to automatically switch from an opened state to a closed state, to make the plurality of water spray holes of the water spray pipe automatically stop spraying water. Accordingly, the water sliding device of the present disclosure can reduce water consumption and save water resource.

First claim

1 . A water sliding device, comprising:
a sliding portion, having a sliding surface suitable for a user sliding thereon, wherein a water spray pipe with a plurality of water spray holes is disposed on the sliding portion; and a water valve, wherein the water spray pipe is adapted to be connected with a water source via the water valve, and the water valve is configured to automatically switch from an opened state to a closed state, to make the plurality of water spray holes of the water spray pipe automatically stop spraying water; the water valve comprising:
an inlet passage and an outlet passage, wherein the inlet passage communicates with the water source, and the outlet passage communicates with the water spray pipe;
a pressure-regulating chamber body and a movable valve plate, wherein the pressure-regulating chamber body and the movable valve plate define a pressure-regulating chamber, the pressure-regulating chamber communicates with the inlet passage via a water-inlet hole formed on the movable valve plate, the pressure-regulating chamber body is provided with a drain hole, the drain hole communicates with the pressure-regulating chamber, and the movable valve plate is adapted to move between a first position and a second position by different pressures inside the pressure-regulating chamber and outside the pressure-regulating chamber acting on the movable valve plate so as to block or open the outlet passage.

2 . The water sliding device according to claim 1 , wherein the sliding portion comprises a flexible sheet.

3 . The water sliding device according to claim 1 , wherein the sliding portion comprises an upper sheet and a lower sheet, edges of the upper sheet and edges of the lower sheet are connected, and the upper sheet and the lower sheet define a first chamber adapted to be filled with air or water.

4 . The water sliding device according to claim 1 , wherein the water spray pipe comprises at least one first water spray pipe extending from a starting end of the sliding portion to a destination end of the sliding portion, wherein the destination end is opposite to the starting end.

5 . The water sliding device according to claim 4 , wherein the at least one first water spray pipe is disposed along at least one of a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge of the sliding portion.

6 . The water sliding device according to claim 4 , wherein the at least one first water spray pipe is disposed between a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge of the sliding portion, and the sliding portion is divided to a plurality of sliding paths by the at least one first water spray pipe.

7 . The water sliding device according to claim 4 , wherein a number of the at least one first water spray pipe is more than one, and the more than one first water spray pipe is arranged in intervals.

8 . The water sliding device according to claim 1 , wherein the water spray pipe comprises a second water spray pipe extending from a first lateral edge of the sliding portion to a second lateral edge of the sliding portion.

9 . The water sliding device according to claim 8 , wherein the second water spray pipe communicates with a first water spray pipe.

10 . The water sliding device according to claim 9 , wherein the second water spray pipe communicates with the first water spray pipe via a connecting pipe.

11 . The water sliding device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of water spray holes are arranged on the water spray pipe in intervals.

12 . The water sliding device according to claim 1 , further comprising a bumper connected with a destination end of the sliding portion.

13 . The water sliding device according to claim 12 , wherein the bumper is provided with a second chamber adapted to be filled with air or water.

14 . The water sliding device according to claim 13 , wherein the bumper comprises a top sheet and a bottom sheet, edges of the top sheet and edges of the bottom sheet are connected, and the top sheet and the bottom sheet define the second chamber.

15 . The water sliding device according to claim 12 , wherein the bumper is connected with the sliding portion via a connecting sheet.

16 . The water sliding device according to claim 1 , wherein the water valve is arranged at a position close to a starting end of the sliding portion.

17 . The water sliding device according to claim 16 , wherein an outlet of the water valve communicates with an end of a first water spray pipe close to the starting end.

18 . The water sliding device according to claim 1 , wherein an inlet of the water valve communicates with the water source via an inlet pipe, and the inlet of the water valve is detachably connected with the inlet pipe.

19 . The water sliding device according to claim 1 , wherein the water valve comprises:
a water-draining assembly for blocking or opening the drain hole; and a control assembly, electrically connected with the water-draining assembly, wherein the control assembly is configured to control the water-draining assembly to block or open the drain hole.

20 . The water sliding device according to claim 19 , wherein the water-draining assembly comprises a solenoid valve provided with a metal core assembly; when a forward current passes through an electromagnetic coil of the solenoid valve, the metal core assembly of the solenoid valve is adapted to move to a position to open the drain hole; when a reverse current passes through the electromagnetic coil of the solenoid valve, the metal core assembly of the solenoid valve is adapted to move to a position to close the drain hole.

21 . The water sliding device according to claim 19 , wherein the control assembly comprises a start button and a control circuitry; the control circuitry is configured to:
when the start button is pressed, control the water-draining assembly to open the drain hole, to make the movable valve plate open the outlet passage, so that the water valve switches to the opened state, and after a predetermined period of time, control the water-draining assembly to block the drain hole, to make the movable valve plate block the outlet passage, so that the water valve switches to the closed state.

22 . The water sliding device according to claim 21 , wherein the control assembly further comprises a timer for determining the predetermined period of time.

23 . The water sliding device according to claim 22 , wherein the timer comprises multiple shifts corresponding to multiple predetermined periods of time.
