[0035] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] Referring to the drawings of the specification, a switching switch comprises a body (10), wherein the body (10) is provided with a water inlet hole (20), a first water outlet hole (30) and a second water outlet hole (40), wherein a cavity connected to the first water outlet hole (30) and the second water outlet hole (40) is further provided in the body (10), and a water inlet channel is provided between the water inlet hole (20) and the cavity, and wherein the switching switch is characterized in that: a movable core shaft (50) is provided in the body (10), a sealing ring (55) for controlling the opening or closing of the water inlet channel is provided on the movable core shaft (50), a first protrusion (95) is provided on the movable core shaft (50), and a rotating member (60) is sleeved on the movable core shaft (50), The rotating member (60) is provided with a second protrusion (65) that can cooperate with the first protrusion (95). The rotating member (60) rotates to drive the second protrusion (65) to block the water outlet of the first water outlet (30) or the second water outlet (40). The present invention realizes the opening or closing of the water inlet by the cooperation between the sealing ring (55) on the mobile core shaft (50) and the main body (10), and realizes the switching of the water path by the cooperation between the first protrusion (95) and the second protrusion (65). Specifically, the first water outlet (30) is controlled to be opened and the second water outlet (40) is closed, or the first water outlet (30) is closed and the second water outlet (40) is opened, thereby realizing the phenomenon of avoiding accidental showering by top spraying.

[0037] In one embodiment, one side edge of the first protrusion (95) and the second protrusion (65) that cooperate is an inclined surface. The purpose of setting the inclined surface is that when the second protrusion (65) on the rotating member (60) contacts and cooperates with the first protrusion (95), under the rotational movement of the rotating member (60), the second protrusion (65) will move along the inclined surface, thereby pushing out the first protrusion (95), thereby driving the movement of the movable core shaft (50), thereby changing the cooperation position of the sealing ring (55) and the body (10), thereby realizing the opening of the water inlet hole (20).

[0038] In another embodiment, one side of the second protrusion (65) that cooperates with the first protrusion (95) is an inclined surface, and the purpose of setting the inclined surface is that when the second protrusion (65) on the rotating member (60) contacts and cooperates with the first protrusion (95), under the rotational movement of the rotating member (60), the first protrusion (95) will move along the inclined surface of the second protrusion (65), so that the first protrusion (95) is ejected, thereby driving the movement of the movable core shaft (50), thereby changing the matching position of the sealing ring (55) and the body (10), thereby realizing the opening of the water inlet hole (20).

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, one side of the first protrusion (95) that cooperates with the second protrusion (65) is an inclined surface, that is, at least one side of the first protrusion (95) is an inclined surface and the side of the second protrusion (65) that cooperates with the first protrusion (95) is a plane.

[0040] Furthermore, one side edge of the first protrusion (95) is an inclined surface, and the other side edge of the first protrusion (95) is a non-inclined surface. The purpose of setting the above-mentioned side edges is to enable the rotating member (60) to rotate only in a clockwise direction.

[0041] Furthermore, the switching switch further comprises a linkage member (90), the first protrusion (95) being arranged on the linkage member (90), and the design of the rotating member (60) and the linkage member (90) enhances the interchangeability of the structure, and at the same time makes the first protrusion (95) more stable and accurate during the cooperation with the second protrusion (65).

[0042] Furthermore, a spring (110) is provided between the body (10) and the movable core shaft (50), and the provision of the spring (110) can reset the movable core shaft (50) and close the water inlet.

[0043] Furthermore, one end of the movable core shaft (50) is connected to a button (100), and the other end of the movable core shaft (50) is connected to a pressure-bearing member (58). One end of the main body (10) is provided with a knob (70) that can be connected with the rotating member (60), and the other end of the main body (10) is provided with a pressure cover (80). The button (100) is externally arranged on the main body (10) and serves as a switch for controlling the movement of the movable core shaft (50). The setting of the knob (70) facilitates the user to control the rotating member (60), thereby realizing easy and convenient water path switching.

[0044] Furthermore, the button (100) is embedded in the knob (70). The button (100) is embedded in the knob (70) for the purpose of enhancing the compactness of the structure and increasing the aesthetics of the present invention, thereby meeting the aesthetic standards of contemporary people.

[0045] Furthermore, the knob (70) is a switch for controlling the rotational movement of the rotating member (60). Since one side of the first protrusion (95) on the linkage member (90) is provided with an inclined surface and the other side is provided with a non-inclined surface, the knob (70) can only rotate in the same clockwise direction. The knob (70) realizes different matching states between the rotating member (60) and the linkage member (90) according to different rotation degrees. The different matching states lead to different water discharge effects. When the first protrusion (95) on the linkage member and the second protrusion (65) on the rotating member are misaligned, that is, the first protrusion (95) is not in contact with the second protrusion (65), and the second protrusion is in contact with the linkage member, as shown in the attached manual. Figure 5As shown in the figure, in such a use state, the water inlet is closed; when the rotating member (60) is not in contact with the linkage member (90), and the first protrusion (95) is misaligned with the second protrusion (65), that is, the first protrusion (95) is not in contact with the second protrusion (65), as shown in the appendix of the specification Fig. 9 As shown in the figure, in such a use state, the water inlet is opened; when the first protrusion (95) contacts the second protrusion (65), as shown in the appendix of the specification Fig.13 As shown in , in such a usage state, the water inlet is open;

[0046] Furthermore, another function of the second protrusion (65) is to block the first water outlet (30) or the second water outlet (40). When the matching state of the rotating member (60) and the linkage member (90) is as shown in the appendix of the specification, Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the water inlet is closed, and at this time the second protrusion (65) of the rotating member (60) blocks the second water outlet (40); because the water inlet (20), the first water outlet (30) and the second water outlet (30) share a cavity, when the water flows into the cavity in the body (10) from the water inlet (20), it can only flow out from the first water outlet (30) or the second water outlet (40) under the blocking effect of the second protrusion (65); according to the attached manual Figure 5 In the matching state shown in , the water inlet is closed, water cannot enter the cavity, and thus there is no water outlet from the first water outlet (30) or the second water outlet (40). At this time, if the button (100) is pressed, the movable core shaft (50) is moved, so that the linkage member (90) and the rotating member (60) are separated, that is, the two are not in contact, as shown in the attached manual. Fig. 9 As shown in , at this time, the water inlet is opened, and water flows into the cavity from the water inlet hole (20) and then flows out from the first outlet hole (30).

[0047] Furthermore, when the matching state of the rotating member (60) and the linkage member (90) is as shown in the attached specification, Fig. 9 In the case shown in FIG. 1 , the water inlet is opened and water flows out from the first water outlet (30). At this time, if the knob (70) is rotated to rotate the rotating member (60) counterclockwise, the position of the second protrusion (65) is as shown in the appendix of the specification. Fig.13 As shown in , the first protrusion (95) contacts the second protrusion (65). In this case, the second protrusion (65) blocks the first water outlet (30) and opens the second water outlet (40). After the water flows into the cavity, it flows out from the second water outlet (40).

[0048] Furthermore, when the matching state of the rotating member (60) and the linkage member (90) is as shown in the attached specification, Figure 5In the case shown in FIG. 1 , the water inlet is closed, and the second protrusion (65) blocks the second water outlet (40). At this time, if the knob (70) is rotated, the second protrusion (70) on the rotating member (60) moves along the inclined surface of the first protrusion (95), so that the first protrusion (95) is pushed out, and the moving core shaft (50) is driven, so as to achieve the effect as shown in the appendix of the specification. Fig.13 As shown in , at this time, the water inlet is opened, the second protrusion (65) blocks the first water outlet (30), the second water outlet (40) is opened, and the water flows into the cavity and then flows out from the second water outlet (40).

[0049] Furthermore, the body (10) includes an inner body (12) and an outer body (11), the inner body (12) is embedded in the outer body (11), a fixed disk (120) is arranged between the knob (70) and the rotating member (60), and the fixed disk (120) fixes the rotating member (60) in the inner body (12), and the arrangement of the fixed disk (120) enhances the structural stability of the present invention.

[0050] Furthermore, the sealing ring (55) on the movable core shaft (50) includes a first sealing ring (551) and a second sealing ring (552), and a third sealing ring (585) is provided on the pressure-bearing member (58). The cooperation between the first sealing ring (551) and the main body (10) realizes the opening or closing of the water inlet, and the second sealing ring (552) and the third sealing ring (585) ensure the sealing of water flow.

[0051] Furthermore, a decorative cover (130) is provided on the pressure cover (80), and the decorative cover (130) covers the pressure cover (80) to improve the overall aesthetics.

[0052] Furthermore, a water-saving sheet (140) and a filter gasket (150) are arranged in the water inlet hole (20). The arrangement of the water-saving sheet (140) and the filter gasket (150) allows the incoming water flow to be filtered and the flow rate to be reduced, thereby playing a role in saving water resources.

[0053] In actual use, the present invention is applied to a shower column, as shown in the attached manual. Fig.14 As shown, a water flow switch (200) is provided on the shower column. In this case, the first water outlet (30) is connected to the top spray, the second water outlet (40) is connected to the shower head, and the water inlet (20) is connected to the water inlet pipe;

[0054] In the initial state, the matching relationship between the linkage member (90) and the rotating member (60) is as shown in the attached manual. Figure 5As shown in , the rotating member (60) is in contact with the linkage member (90), but the first protrusion (95) and the second protrusion (65) are misaligned. At this time, the water inlet is closed, and the second protrusion (65) blocks the second water outlet (40), that is, blocks the water outlet of the shower head;

[0055] In the initial state, when the water flow switch (200) is turned on, water cannot flow into the cavity of the main body (10) from the water inlet hole (20). Therefore, when the water flow switch (200) is turned on, the overhead spray and the shower head do not produce water, forming the use state 1.

[0056] In the initial state, the water flow switch (200) is turned on, and the button (100) is pressed, the moving core shaft (50) moves, and the linkage member (90) and the rotating member (60) are not in contact, as shown in the attached manual. Fig. 9 As shown in, in this state, the water inlet is opened, water flows into the cavity of the main body (10) from the water inlet hole (20), and then flows out from the first water outlet hole (30), that is, top spray water is discharged, forming the use state 2. Since the movable core shaft (50) is provided with a pressure-bearing member (58), when the water flow switch (200) is turned on and the button (100) is pressed, the back pressure on the movable core shaft (50) is greater than the spring force, so the water discharge state is maintained. At this time, the water flow switch (200) is turned off, and the water pressure is reduced. When the back pressure on the movable core shaft (50) is less than the spring force, the movable core shaft (50) is reset under the action of the spring (110), the water inlet is closed, and the top spray stops discharging water.

[0057] In the case of the use state 2, the knob (70) is turned to change the position of the second protrusion (65) on the rotating member (60), as shown in the attached manual. Fig.13 As shown in the figure, the second protrusion (65) is moved from blocking the second water outlet hole (40) to blocking the first water outlet hole (30), so that water flows into the cavity from the water inlet hole (20) and then flows out from the second water outlet hole (40), thus forming a showerhead water outlet, thus forming the use state 3.

[0058] In the initial state, the water flow switch (200) is turned on, the knob (70) is rotated, and the matching state of the linkage member (90) and the rotating member (60) is shown in the attached manual. Figure 5 Attach to the instruction manual Fig.13The rotating member (60) is driven by the button (100) to move the second protrusion (65) along the inclined surface of the first protrusion (95). During the movement, the linkage member (90) is continuously pushed out. When the linkage member (90) is pushed out, the movable core shaft (50) is driven to move. The originally closed water inlet is opened. The second protrusion (65) that originally blocked the second water outlet (40) is changed to block the first water outlet (30). The second water outlet (40) is opened, and water flows out from the shower. The use state 3 is formed. At this time, due to the contact and mutual pushing action of the first protrusion (95) and the second protrusion (95), the movable core shaft (50) cannot be reset under the action of the spring (110). Therefore, the button (100) fails. After the water flow switch (200) is turned off, the water flow switch (200) is turned on next time, and water flows out from the shower.

[0059] In the case of use state 3, the water flow switch (200) is turned off. The next time the water flow switch (200) is turned on, the shower still discharges water. If it is desired to switch to top spray discharge, the knob (70) can be rotated to change the second protrusion (65) from blocking the first water outlet (30) to blocking the second water outlet (40). At this time, due to the action of the pressure-bearing member (58), the back pressure on the movable core shaft (50) is greater than the spring force, so the water continues to be discharged. When the water flow switch (200) is turned off, the back pressure on the movable core shaft (50) is less than the spring force. Under the action of the spring force, the movable core shaft (50) is reset and the water inlet is closed.

[0060] The above description shows and describes the preferred embodiments of the present invention. As mentioned above, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the form disclosed herein, and should not be regarded as excluding other embodiments, but can be used in various other combinations, modifications and environments, and can be modified within the scope of the invention concept described herein through the above teachings or the technology or knowledge of the relevant field.
