Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a shower device, in particular to a shower device with both a shower head and a handheld shower. BACKGROUND

[0002] There are two main types of water outlet components in existing shower devices, one is a fixed shower head and the other is a handheld shower. According to different users, there are shower devices including any of the two, and there are also shower devices with both. Generally speaking, the water outlet surface of the fixed shower head is larger than that of the handheld shower. Because the former can be fixed on the wall or water pipe, while the latter is more suitable for handheld use and will be too bulky if made too large. Although the shower device including only the fixed shower head has a large water flow, it is not convenient to take, and it is very inconvenient when the user needs to wash certain parts. While the handheld shower is convenient to take and can be fixed on the shower seat when needed, its water flow is small and the user experience is not good.

[0003] The shower device with both the fixed shower head and the handheld shower can switch the water outlet mode according to the user's needs. The existing shower device with both the fixed shower head and the handheld shower usually uses a three-way diverter to switch the water path. The three-way diverter is connected with the water inlet, the shower head and the handheld shower, so it is usually installed at the shower head, which is not convenient for the user to operate. In addition, when the shower head is connected with the water inlet pipe, a water passing device needs to be added, which will cause the product to have a larger structure size and increase the manufacturing cost. SUMMARY

The switching knob is arranged at the end of the switching shaft.

[0012] Further, the switching shaft is provided with a first sealing block and a second sealing block, which are arranged around the switching shaft.

[0013] The first sealing block and the second sealing block can seal or open the outlet water flow channel in the shower head water passing part according to the rotation of the switching shaft, so that the water flow flows to the shower head, or the shower nozzle, or flows out from the shower head and the shower nozzle at the same time.

[0014] Further, the switching assembly further comprises a positioning bead, which is arranged in the first sealing block or the second sealing block. The water path switching cavity is provided with a plurality of grooves. The positioning bead can be fixed by switching between the grooves.
