Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a water outlet device, in particular to a shower head. Background Art

[0002] Combination showers are very common in today's home bathrooms. Traditional combination showers have a head shower and a hand shower, and the two showers are controlled by a switch. The switch switches one of the two showers to discharge water. Therefore, the switching of the water path is a passive process, and the head shower cannot be automatically opened and closed by taking and placing the hand shower. In addition, with the change in the appearance of the shower, there are now nested head showers and hand showers. If the user uses the head shower, only the head shower discharges water, because the water outlet surface of the head shower is annular and the water outlet area is relatively small, if only the head shower discharges water, the shower experience will be relatively poor. Summary of the invention

[0003] The main technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a combined shower head, in which the head shower head automatically stops discharging water when the user needs to use the handheld shower head for showering. In order to solve the above technical problem, the present invention provides a combined shower head, comprising: a head shower head and a handheld shower head; the head shower head has a connector that is detachably matched with the handheld shower head;

[0004] It also includes a water sealing member and a trigger member that are arranged in a linked manner, wherein the water sealing member is arranged in the water outlet waterway of the head shower; when the hand-held shower is separated from the head shower, the water sealing member is in a first position in the head shower waterway, so that the flow of the head shower waterway becomes smaller or closed; when the hand-held shower is connected to the connecting member, the trigger member is acted upon by an external force and drives the water sealing member to move to a second position in the head shower waterway, so that the flow of the head shower waterway is opened or increased.

[0005] In a preferred embodiment, when the head shower and the hand-held shower are connected, the abutment effect generated by the abutment between the hand-held shower and the trigger member drives the trigger member and the water sealing member to move in conjunction.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment: the head shower includes a water outlet and a water inlet; the water inlet includes the head shower water path and the handheld shower water path; the handheld shower water path is connected to the handheld shower via a water outlet hose.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment: the trigger member and the water sealing member are two different parts of an integral component; or the trigger member and the water sealing member are two independent components, and the trigger member and the water sealing member abut against each other to form a linkage connection.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment: the trigger member is a swing block swingably connected to the water inlet member; the water inlet member has a clearance opening, and one end of the swing block is exposed to the side of the water inlet member facing the handheld showerhead through the clearance opening.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment: the swing block includes a swing rod and a wedge block, one end of the swing rod is swingably disposed in the water inlet through a rotating shaft; the wedge block is disposed at the other end of the swing rod and is exposed to the side of the water inlet facing the hand shower through the clearance opening;

[0010] The water sealing member comprises a movable shaft and a sealing ring arranged on the outer periphery of the movable shaft; one end of the movable shaft abuts against the swing rod;

[0011] When the handheld showerhead is connected to the connector, the force generated by the abutment between the back of the handheld showerhead and the wedge block causes the swing rod to swing; the abutment force between the swing rod and the moving shaft causes the moving shaft to move along its own axial direction to the second position.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment: the other end of the movable shaft is connected to a reset member; when the movable shaft moves to the second position, the reset member accumulates elastic reset force.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment: the head shower water channel has a yield section whose inner diameter is larger than the outer diameter of the sealing ring; when the movable shaft is located at the second position, the sealing ring moves into the yield section, and the sealing ring is separated from the inner wall of the head shower water channel; when the movable shaft is located at the first position, the sealing ring moves outside the yield section, and the sealing ring is in close contact and sealed with the inner wall of the head shower water channel.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the connecting member is two clamping blocks arranged opposite to each other on the side of the water inlet member facing the handheld showerhead; a clamping space for clamping the handheld showerhead is formed between the two clamping blocks, and the wedge block is exposed between the two clamping blocks.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment: when the gear selection member is located at the first gear position or the second gear position, the hand-held showerhead water path is always connected to the water inlet end of the water inlet member.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. The present invention provides a combined shower head. When a handheld shower head is used in combination with a head shower head, the head shower head and the handheld shower head discharge water separately, thereby increasing the shower area. When the user separates the handheld shower head from the head shower head, the head shower head automatically stops discharging water, and only the handheld shower head discharges water. This perfectly adapts to the user's usage habits, and the water output switching process is automatically completed as the user takes or places the handheld shower head, without the user having to perform additional operations, which is very convenient.

[0021] 2. The present invention provides a combined shower head. When a hand-held shower head is installed, the hand-held shower head exerts a resisting force on a swing block, causing the swing block to drive the water sealing member to move. This opens the water path of the head shower head. As long as the hand-held shower head remains in the installed state, the resisting force between the hand-held shower head and the swing block always exists, so the water sealing member can always remain in the open state, allowing the head shower head to discharge water normally, increasing the shower area, and having reliable and stable functions.

[0022] 3. The present invention provides a combination shower head, in which a second head shower water path and a gear selection member are additionally provided in the water outlet. The gear selection member can control whether the second head shower water path is connected to the water inlet end of the water outlet. If the second head shower water path is connected to the water inlet end of the water outlet, then since the second head shower water path is always kept unobstructed, the head shower can discharge water normally regardless of whether the handheld shower is in a hanging installation state or a handheld state. If the second head shower water path is not connected to the water inlet end of the water outlet, the head shower can discharge water normally only when the handheld shower is in a hanging installation state. The gear selection member provides users with more choices. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034] The technical solution of the present invention is further illustrated and described below through specific implementation modes in combination with the accompanying drawings.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] refer to Figure 1-9 , a combined shower head, comprising: a head shower head 1 and a handheld shower head 2; the head shower head 1 has a connecting piece 11 that can be detachably matched with the handheld shower head 2;

[0037] It also includes a water sealing member 12 and a trigger member 13 that are arranged in a linked manner. The water sealing member 12 is arranged in the water outlet waterway of the head shower 1; when the hand-held shower 2 is separated from the head shower 1, the water sealing member 12 is in a first position in the head shower waterway 151, so that the flow rate of the head shower waterway 151 becomes smaller; when the hand-held shower 2 is connected to the connecting member 11, the trigger member 13 is acted upon by an external force and drives the water sealing member 12 to move to a second position in the head shower waterway 151, so that the flow rate of the head shower waterway 151 becomes larger.

[0038] Therefore, in the above-mentioned combined shower, when the hand shower 2 is used in combination with the head shower 1, the head shower 1 and the hand shower 2 discharge water separately, thereby increasing the shower area. When the user separates the hand shower 2 from the head shower 1, the head shower 1 automatically stops discharging water, and only the hand shower 2 discharges water. This perfectly adapts to the user's usage habits, and the water flow switching process is automatically completed as the user takes or places the hand shower 2, without the user having to perform additional operations, which is very convenient.

[0039] In this embodiment, in order to accurately trigger the trigger member 13, when the head shower 1 and the handheld shower 2 are connected, the abutting effect generated by the abutment between the handheld shower 2 and the trigger member 13 drives the trigger member 13 and the water sealing member 12 to move in conjunction. In this way, when the handheld shower 2 is installed, the abutting effect of the handheld shower 2 on the trigger member 13 causes the trigger member 13 to drive the water sealing member 12 to move. Thus, the head shower waterway 151 is opened. And as long as the handheld shower 2 remains in the installed state, the abutting effect between the handheld shower 2 and the trigger member 13 always exists, so the water sealing member 12 can always remain in the open state, so that the head shower 1 can discharge water normally, increase the shower area, and have reliable and stable functions.

[0040] The specific structure of this embodiment is as follows: the head shower 1 includes a water outlet 14 and a water inlet 15. In this embodiment, the water outlet 14 is annular; the water inlet 15 includes the head shower water path 151 and the handheld shower water path 152; the handheld shower water path 152 is connected to the handheld shower 2 through a water outlet hose 21.

[0041] In this embodiment, the trigger member 13 is a swing block swingably connected to the water inlet member 15; the water inlet member 15 has a clearance opening, and one end of the swing block is exposed to the side of the water inlet member 15 facing the hand shower 2 through the clearance opening. Specifically, the swing block includes a swing rod 131 and a wedge block 132, one end of the swing rod 131 is swingably arranged in the water inlet member 15 through a rotating shaft; the wedge block 132 is arranged at the other end of the swing rod 131 and is exposed to the side of the water inlet member 15 facing the hand shower 2 through the clearance opening;

[0042] The water sealing member 12 includes a moving shaft 121 and a sealing ring 122 arranged on the outer periphery of the moving shaft 121; one end of the moving shaft 121 abuts against the swing rod 131;

[0043] When the hand-held shower 2 is connected to the connecting member 11, the force generated by the back of the hand-held shower 2 abutting against the wedge 132 causes the swing rod 131 to swing; the abutting force between the swing rod 131 and the moving shaft 121 causes the moving shaft 121 to move along its own axial direction to the second position. In this way, the entire triggering process is realized.

[0044] In addition, in order to realize that the water sealing member 12 can automatically return to the first position from the second position when the hand-held shower 2 is removed, in this embodiment, the other end of the movable shaft 121 is connected to a reset member 123; when the movable shaft 121 moves to the second position, the reset member 123 accumulates elastic reset force. In this way, when the hand-held shower 2 is removed, the abutting force between the hand-held shower 2 and the wedge block 132 disappears, and the movable shaft 121 is reset to the first position under the action of the reset force of the reset member 123. Therefore, when the hand-held shower 2 is removed, the head shower 1 automatically turns off the water outlet.

[0045] The sealing principle of the sealing ring 122 in this embodiment is as follows: the head shower water channel 151 has a yield section whose inner diameter is greater than the outer diameter of the sealing ring 122; when the movable shaft 121 is located at the second position, the sealing ring 122 moves into the yield section, and the sealing ring 122 is separated from the inner wall of the head shower water channel 151; when the movable shaft 121 is located at the first position, the sealing ring 122 moves outside the yield section, and the sealing ring 122 is in close contact and sealed with the inner wall of the head shower water channel 151.

[0046] Finally, the connecting member 11 is two clamping blocks disposed opposite to each other on the side of the water inlet member 15 facing the hand-held shower 2; a clamping space for clamping the hand-held shower 2 is formed between the two clamping blocks, and the wedge block 132 is exposed between the two clamping blocks. In this way, when the hand-held shower 2 is clamped by the two clamping blocks, the back of the hand-held shower 2 will definitely abut against the wedge block 132. The water discharge and switching functions of the entire shower are relatively stable.

[0047] In this embodiment, the position of the wedge block 132 corresponds to the central area of ​​the back of the hand-held shower 2. The wedge block 132 can also be set at other positions as needed to make it abut against other parts of the hand-held shower 2. As long as the hand-held shower 2 and the head shower 1 can be installed, the hand-held shower 2 and the wedge block 132 can be abutted, the purpose of the present invention can be achieved. This embodiment is only for illustration and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0048] In the above structure, the water outlet mode of the combined shower is fixed: 1. When the handheld is hung, water flows out from the head and the handheld at the same time; 2. When the handheld is removed, water does not flow out from the head, but water flows out from the handheld. If in actual use, some consumers need to achieve simultaneous water outlet from the head and the handheld when the handheld is removed. For example, when adults and children take a shower together. At this time, the combined shower of the above structure cannot meet the use needs of consumers. In order to solve this problem, in this embodiment:

[0049] The water inlet 15 also includes a second head shower water channel 153 that is kept open, and a gear selection member 154; one end of the gear selection member 154 is a sealing member 1541, and the other end is an operating member 1542; when the user turns the operating member 1542, the sealing member 1541 swings accordingly.

[0050] When the gear selection member 154 is in the first gear, the sealing member 1542 is separated from the water inlet 1531 of the second head shower water path 153, and the second head shower water path 153 is always connected with the water inlet end of the water inlet member 15; at this time, no matter whether the hand-held shower 2 is in a hanging installation state or a hand-held state, the head shower 1 can discharge water normally, and the water flows from the second head shower water path 153 into the water outlet member 14.

[0051] When the gear selection member 154 is in the second gear, the sealing member 1542 is sealed against the water inlet 1531 of the second head shower water path 153, isolating and sealing the second head shower water path 153 from the water inlet end of the water inlet member 15. At this time, the water outlet mode of the combined shower becomes: 1. When the handheld is hung, water is discharged from the head and the handheld at the same time; 2. When the handheld is removed, water is not discharged from the head, but water is discharged from the handheld. The gear selection member 154 provides users with more choices and broadens the applicable population.

[0052] In addition, when the gear selection member 154 is in the first gear or the second gear, the hand-held shower water path 152 is always connected to the water inlet end of the water inlet member 15. In this way, no matter how the operating member 1542 is moved, the water output of the hand-held shower 2 will not be affected.

[0053] Example 2

[0054] refer to Figure 10-11 The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the trigger member 13 and the water sealing member 12 in the first embodiment are two independent parts, and the trigger member 13 and the water sealing member 12 are linked to each other by the abutting action of the trigger member 13 and the water sealing member 12. In the present embodiment, the trigger member 13 and the water sealing member 12 are two parts of an integral component. Specifically, the end of the moving shaft 121 in the first embodiment that abuts against the trigger member extends along the length direction of the moving shaft 121 until one end of the moving shaft 121 is exposed outside the side of the water inlet member 15 facing the hand shower 2.

[0055] In this way, the part exposed outside the side of the water inlet 15 facing the hand-held shower 2 forms the trigger member, and the structure of the water sealing member 12 is the same as that of Example 1. Then when the hand-held shower 2 is installed with the head shower 1, the back of the hand-held shower 2 will abut against the protruding end of the moving shaft 121, and the resulting abutting force will drive the moving shaft 121 to move along its own axial direction. During the movement of the moving shaft 121, the water sealing member 12 also moves along the axial direction. The rest of the structure is the same as that of Example 1 and will not be repeated.

[0056] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
