Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of shower head technology, and in particular relates to a digital LCD shower head that measures water temperature, flow rate and time. Background Technology
[0002] Shower heads, also known as shower heads, are commonly used for daily bathing. There are several types of shower heads: Handheld shower heads: These usually come with a fixed bracket and can switch between handheld and overhead spray modes. They are characterized by their flexibility and are suitable for spot washing or use by children; Overhead shower heads: These require higher water pressure and are suitable for large bathrooms. They are typically installed on the ceiling, providing wide coverage and simulating a rain effect; and Side-spray shower heads: These usually have multiple nozzles embedded in the wall to provide a massage function. Water routing and installation location need to be planned in advance.
[0003] Most of the showerheads provided in the relevant technologies have simple structural designs and relatively simple functions. They only have basic functions such as adjusting the water flow rate or adjusting the shower mode. They do not have the function of measuring the water temperature and water flow rate during the shower, making it inconvenient for the operator to make real-time adjustments according to the actual situation.
[0004] In view of the problems in the background art mentioned above, the present invention aims to provide a digital LCD shower head that measures water temperature, flow rate and time. Utility Model Content

[0006] This utility model is implemented as follows: a digital LCD shower head that measures water temperature, flow rate, and time, comprising:
[0007] The shower body includes a shower shell, a shower disc is installed at one end of the shower shell, and shower holes are distributed on the surface of the shower disc; a shower handle is provided at the other end of the shower shell, a control box and a motor box are installed inside the shower handle, the control box and the motor box are electrically connected, and a water inlet is formed at the end of the shower handle, which is connected to the inside of the motor box.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a water turbine generator and a water turbine are installed inside the motor box. The water turbine generator has a water turbine at its output end, and the water turbine is located at the position where the water inlet connects to the motor box; the water turbine generator is electrically connected to the inside of the control box through a wire.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the motor housing is also equipped with a thermistor, which is a negative temperature coefficient thermistor.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the control box is equipped with an LCD screen and a microcontroller, and the microcontroller and the LCD screen are electrically connected.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] Compared with current showerheads, the digital LCD showerhead that measures water temperature, flow rate, and time has the following advantages:
[0013] It features a shower handle at one end of the shower head housing, with a control box and a motor box installed inside the shower handle, and the control box and motor box are electrically connected; at the same time, a water turbine generator and a water turbine are installed inside the motor box, with the water turbine located at the output end of the water turbine generator, where the water inlet is connected to the motor box; a thermistor is also installed inside the motor box.
[0014] The temperature of the bath water is measured by generating different electrical signal changes using an installed thermistor. The flow rate and time of the bath water are calculated in the following way: after the water flows through the water turbine generator, the water turbine generator starts generating electricity. A microcontroller records the frequency of the AC power generated by the water turbine generator, converts it into a digital signal, and finally calculates the real-time flow rate of the water. The total flow rate is then calculated by combining the real-time flow rate with the recorded time. Attached Figure Description

[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-2 This utility model provides a technical solution: a digital LCD shower head that measures water temperature, flow rate, and time, the digital LCD shower head for measuring water temperature, flow rate, and time comprising:
[0024] The shower body includes a shower shell 3, with a shower disc 1 installed at one end of the shower shell 3. Shower holes 2 are distributed on the surface of the shower disc 1. Bath water can be atomized and sprayed out through the shower holes 2 distributed on the surface of the shower disc 1 to provide a showering experience for the bather. The other end of the shower shell 3 is provided with a shower handle 4. A control box 5 and a motor box 6 are installed inside the shower handle 4. The control box 5 and the motor box 6 are electrically connected. A water inlet 7 is formed at the end of the shower handle 4 and is connected to the inside of the motor box 6.
[0025] Water for showering enters the shower handle 4 through the inlet 7. After the water enters the shower handle 4, the flow rate generated by the water can drive the motor box 6 to generate electricity. After generating electricity, the motor box 6 can transmit the electrical energy to the control box 5, so that the control box 5 can calculate and display the water temperature, flow rate, and flow time.
[0026] Please see Figure 2 Furthermore, the motor housing 6 is equipped with a water turbine generator 12 and a water turbine 13. The output end of the water turbine generator 12 is provided with a water turbine 13, which is located at the position where the water inlet 7 is connected to the motor housing 6. The water turbine generator 12 is electrically connected to the control box 5 through a wire 10.
[0027] In the technical solution of this utility model, when the bath water enters the motor box 6 through the inlet 7, the flow rate generated by the bath water can drive the water wheel 13 to rotate at high speed. When the water wheel 13 rotates at high speed, it can transfer mechanical energy to the water turbine generator 12, so that the water turbine generator 12 can generate electricity and supply the generated electrical energy to the control box 5 through the wire 10.
[0028] Specifically, the motor housing 6 is also equipped with a thermistor 11. The thermistor 11 is an NTC (negative temperature coefficient thermistor). The thermistor 11 located inside the motor housing 6 can monitor the temperature of the bath water entering the motor housing 6 in real time, and transmit the monitored bath water temperature signal to the control box 5 for display feedback through the wire 10.
[0029] Furthermore, the control box 5 is equipped with an LCD screen 8 and a microcontroller 9, which are electrically connected to the LCD screen 8. The microcontroller 9 operates by using the electrical energy generated by the water turbine generator 12 to control the content displayed on the LCD screen 8, including the water temperature, flow rate, and time of the bath water.
[0030] The temperature of the bath water is measured by the different electrical signal changes generated by the installed thermistor 11. The flow rate and time of the bath water are calculated in the following way: after the water flows through the water turbine generator 12, the water turbine generator 12 starts to generate electricity. The microcontroller 9 records the frequency of the AC power generated by the water turbine generator 12, converts it into a digital signal, and finally calculates the real-time flow rate of the water. Then, the total flow rate is calculated by combining the real-time flow rate with the recorded time.
[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
