Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom product technology, and in particular to a shower handle and shower head with a drainage structure. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, most showerhead handles have an internal water inlet channel. After use, this channel and the connected showerhead often retain some water. Due to the lack of an effective drainage structure, this water cannot drain quickly and can only slowly drip from the showerhead under gravity. This not only wastes water but also creates puddles in the shower area, affecting the user experience and hygiene. Furthermore, if water droplets continue to drip even after the showerhead is hung up, it diminishes the product's perceived quality. Therefore, it is necessary to design a structure that can actively and quickly drain residual water from the handle and showerhead to fundamentally solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies of the existing technology and to provide a shower handle and shower head with a drainage structure.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a shower handle with a drainage structure, comprising a handle body connected to a shower head, an inlet channel communicating with the shower head inside the handle body, a drainage chamber inside the handle body, a drainage inlet communicating with the inlet channel and a drainage outlet communicating with the external environment, the drainage inlet being located near one end of the shower head, and the drainage outlet penetrating the handle body and communicating with the outside; it also includes a sealing member for blocking the drainage inlet and an operating handle, the sealing member being kinetically connected to the operating handle and the operating handle being able to drive the sealing member to open and close the drainage inlet; the operating handle at least partially extends outside the handle body for user operation.
[0005] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the handle body is provided with a drain seat, the drain seat includes a seat ring and a drain cylinder disposed in the seat ring, the drain cylinder and the seat ring form a flow channel hole communicating with the water inlet, the drain cavity is built into the drain cylinder and the drain inlet is provided on its cylinder wall.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the operating handle includes an operating shaft rotatably disposed within the drainage chamber, and the sealing element is an elastic sealing unit disposed on the outer periphery of the operating shaft; when the operating shaft rotates to the first position, the elastic sealing unit seals the drainage inlet under the action of elastic force; when the operating shaft rotates to the second position, the elastic sealing unit disengages from the drainage inlet along with the operating shaft, and a drainage gap is formed between the operating shaft and the inner wall of the drainage chamber, allowing fluid to enter.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the elastic sealing unit includes a ball and a compression spring. The operating shaft is provided with a mounting groove. The compression spring is embedded in the mounting groove and provides elastic force to the ball. Under the action of the compression spring, the ball performs the blocking or disengagement of the drain inlet.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the diameter of the ball bearing is larger than the aperture of the drain inlet.
[0009] A shower head includes a shower handle having a drainage structure and a shower head connected to the shower handle.
[0010] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model achieves rapid and active drainage by setting an independent drainage chamber within the shower head handle body and equipping it with a sealing component controlled by the operating handle. Specifically, firstly, because the drainage inlet is located near one end of the shower head, it can effectively collect and drain residual water inside the shower head, fundamentally solving the problem of slow dripping water from the shower head after use, affecting environmental cleanliness and user experience.

Detailed Implementation
[0013] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0014] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," and "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0015] like Figure 1-5 The shower handle shown includes a handle body 2 connected to a shower head 1. The handle body 2 has an inlet channel 3 communicating with the shower head 1. The handle body 2 also has a drain chamber 4, which includes a drain inlet 5 communicating with the inlet channel 3 and a drain outlet 6 communicating with the external environment. The drain inlet 5 is located near one end of the shower head 1, and the drain outlet 6 passes through the handle body 2 and communicates with the outside world (see reference). Figure 3 It also includes a sealing element 7 for sealing the drainage inlet 5 and an operating handle 8. The sealing element 7 is connected to the operating handle 8 and the operating handle 8 can drive the sealing element 7 to open and close the drainage inlet 5. The operating handle 8 extends at least partially to the outside of the handle body 2 for user operation.
[0016] By incorporating an independent drain chamber 4 within the shower head handle body 2 and equipping it with a sealing element 7 controlled by the operating handle 8, a rapid and active drainage function is achieved. Specifically, firstly, since the drain inlet 5 is located adjacent to one end of the shower head 1, it can effectively collect and drain residual water inside the shower head 1, fundamentally solving the problem of slow dripping water from the shower head 1 after use, affecting environmental cleanliness and user experience. Secondly, users can easily control the opening and closing of the drain outlet through the exposed operating handle 8, making operation simple and quick, and the drainage process proactive and efficient. Thirdly, the overall structural layout is reasonable and easy to implement, significantly improving the product's practicality and market competitiveness while ensuring the normal functioning of the shower head.
[0017] The handle body 2 is provided with a drain seat 9, which includes a seat ring 10 and a drain cylinder 11 disposed in the seat ring 10. A flow channel hole 12 communicating with the water inlet channel 3 is formed between the drain cylinder 11 and the seat ring 10. The drain cavity 4 is built into the drain cylinder 11 and the drain inlet 5 is provided on its cylinder wall.
[0018] The operating handle 8 includes an operating shaft 13 rotatably disposed within the drainage chamber 4. The sealing element 7 is an elastic sealing unit disposed on the outer periphery of the operating shaft 13. When the operating shaft 13 rotates to a first position, the elastic sealing unit seals the drainage inlet 5 under the action of elastic force. When the operating shaft 13 rotates to a second position, the elastic sealing unit disengages from the drainage inlet 5 along with the operating shaft 13, and a drainage gap is formed between the operating shaft 13 and the inner wall of the drainage chamber 4, allowing fluid to enter. In this embodiment, the operating shaft 13 has a sealing block 17, and the cross-section of the sealing block 17 is preferably designed as a non-circular cross-section. When the operating shaft 13 rotates to a specific angle, the fit between its outer surface and the inner wall of the drainage chamber 4 changes, thereby forming a gap between them that allows fluid to pass through. The size and shape of this gap depend on the rotation angle of the operating shaft 13 and the specific configuration of its cross-section. Those skilled in the art will understand that the non-circular cross-section includes, but is not limited to, D-shaped, elliptical, polygonal, or other irregular cross-sections composed of at least one plane and a curved surface. The flow area of the gap can be easily adjusted by rotating the operating shaft 13, thereby realizing the on / off control or flow control of the fluid. In this embodiment, the ball bearing 14 can be disengaged from the drain inlet 5 while adjusting the gap.
[0019] The elastic sealing unit includes a ball bearing 14 and a compression spring 15. The operating shaft 13 is provided with a mounting groove 16. The compression spring 15 is embedded in the mounting groove 16 and provides elastic force to the ball bearing 14. Under the action of the compression spring 15, the ball bearing 14 performs the blocking or disengagement of the drain inlet 5. In this embodiment, the diameter of the ball bearing 14 is larger than the aperture of the drain inlet 5 to ensure the blocking effect. When the user needs to perform drainage operation, the drain inlet 5 is opened.
[0020] A shower head includes a shower handle with a drainage structure and a shower head 1 connected to the shower handle. The shower head 1 and the shower handle are detachably connected or integrally formed. Specific connection methods for detachable connection include, but are not limited to, threaded connections, snap-fit connections, quick-release connectors, or plug-in connections—conventional connection structures in the art. Those skilled in the art can select appropriate connection methods according to actual needs. Such connection structures are prior art and not the inventive point of this utility model, and will not be elaborated upon here.
[0021] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the utility model as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
