Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen and bathroom technology, and in particular to a shower faucet equipped with a universal extension tube. Background Technology
[0002] Shower faucets typically have a showerhead spout and a bottom spout, satisfying both shower water needs and regular tap water needs in the shower area. To simplify the structure, many of these shower faucets only have a main control switch and a main spout, with a three-way switch with a toggle switch installed on the main spout. The control handle of the three-way switch is integrated with the faucet spout; switching between showerhead and tap water is achieved by turning the spout. While this type of shower faucet has the advantage of a simplified structure, it suffers from the following problems during use: 1. The spout is too high, causing water to splash when filling; 2. The high spout leads to water temperature loss when using hot water; 3. Traditional faucets have fixed spouts, and the water flow direction and position are also fixed, making them inflexible in use. Therefore, this invention provides a new shower faucet structure that solves the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model proposes a shower structure with a lower and more flexible faucet outlet.
[0004] A shower faucet equipped with a universal extension hose includes a shower body, a shower hose, and a universal extension hose, wherein,
[0005] The main body of the shower is equipped with a shower head outlet connector, a faucet outlet connector, and a control switch. The control switch controls the water output of the shower head outlet connector or the faucet outlet connector.
[0006] The inlet end of the shower hose is assembled at the shower outlet connector, and the outlet end is fitted with a handheld shower head.
[0007] The inlet end of the universal extension tube is assembled at the faucet outlet connector, with the outlet end facing downwards. During use, the universal extension tube can be deformed arbitrarily, thereby not only extending and lowering the outlet, but also adjusting the outlet position.
[0008] The shower faucet provided by this utility model is equipped with a universal extension tube for its water outlet connector, which can solve the problems of water splashing and temperature loss caused by high water flow. It can also make the position of the water outlet flexible and adjustable by utilizing the deformable characteristics of the universal extension tube.
[0009] Preferably, the main body of the shower is a thermostatic shower, equipped with a temperature adjustment switch, which can provide users with constant temperature water and improve shower comfort.
[0010] Preferably, the control switch includes a main switch and a selector switch. The shower body has a main water outlet, and the main switch controls whether water flows out or stops at the main water outlet. The main water outlet is equipped with a T-connector, and the shower head outlet and faucet outlet serve as two outlets of the T-connector. The selector switch is located on the T-connector and controls whether the shower head outlet or faucet outlet flows out, thereby reducing the structural complexity of the shower body.
[0011] Preferably, the three-way connector is T-shaped, the shower head outlet connector faces downwards, and the faucet outlet connector faces to the side.
[0012] Preferably, the three-way connector includes a support arm, a diverter valve core, a water inlet connector, and a fastening connector. The top of the support arm has an installation cavity, the bottom of which has a first water outlet, and the peripheral wall has a second water outlet. The faucet water outlet connector is located on the outer periphery of the support arm and connects to the second water outlet. The diverter valve core has two water outlets: an end outlet and a peripheral outlet. The diverter valve core is inserted into and seals the installation cavity. The peripheral outlet connects to the second water outlet, and the end outlet extends and passes through the first water outlet. The fastening connector is sleeved on the outer periphery of the end outlet and threaded to lock the support arm and the diverter valve core, thus forming the shower head water outlet connector. The water inlet connector is sleeved on the periphery of the water inlet of the diverter valve core and threaded to lock it. The inlet end of the water inlet connector is inserted into the water outlet of the shower body and threaded to lock it. The support arm and the water distribution valve core constitute a switching switch. In use, the support arm drives the water distribution valve core to rotate and switch between water outlet at the end or water outlet at the periphery, thus eliminating the need for an additional switching handle. The structure is simplified. At the same time, compared with the traditional switching handle, the lever arm is longer, requiring less rotational force during use, making it more convenient to use.
[0013] Preferably, the support arm and the water inlet connector are provided with wear-resistant rings to prevent wear on the mating parts of the support arm and the water inlet connector.
[0014] Preferably, the three-way connector is used in the following states: when the faucet outlet connector faces the side of the shower body, the shower head outlet connector dispenses water; or when the faucet outlet connector faces the front of the shower body, the faucet outlet connector dispenses water.
[0015] Preferably, to simplify the structure, the control switch includes a shower head switch and a faucet switch, which are independently configured. The control shower head outlet connector and faucet outlet connector are independently installed at the bottom of the shower body, and the shower head switch and faucet switch control the water flow or stop the water flow respectively.
[0016] Preferably, the outlet end of the universal extension pipe is equipped with a water outlet nozzle, which can be installed with different functions to produce different water sprays.
[0017] Preferably, to avoid splashing water when filling the spout, the spout is equipped with an aerator, or the spout has a switching function to dispense aerated water or regular tap water.
[0018] As can be seen from the above description of this utility model, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] The shower faucet provided by this utility model is equipped with a universal extension tube for its water outlet connector, which can solve the problems of water splashing and temperature loss caused by high water output. It can also make the position of the water outlet flexible and adjustable by utilizing the deformable characteristics of the universal extension tube.
[0020] The control switch includes a main switch and a switching switch. The shower body is provided with a main water outlet, and a T-connector is installed on the main water outlet. The switching switch is installed on the T-connector, which can reduce the structural complexity of the shower body.
[0021] The three-way connector uses a faucet outlet connector as a switching handle, which is simple in structure. At the same time, compared with the traditional switching handle, the lever arm is longer, the rotational force required during use is smaller, and it is easier to use.
[0022] The outlet of the universal extension tube is equipped with an aerator to prevent water from splashing out when filling it with water. Attached Figure Description
