Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sanitary ware, and in particular to a shower head. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, people's requirements for showers are also getting higher and higher. Therefore, most people will choose a shower head with multiple function water selections, and people control the water outlet mode of the shower head through switching operations.

[0003] In order to enable the shower head to discharge different function waters, the existing shower heads usually directly form silicone water outlet nozzles with different pore sizes in different regions of the silicone water outlet face cover, so that the water flow sizes of the water flows passing through the silicone water outlet nozzles with different pore sizes in different regions are different. However, this kind of processing cost is high, and the silicone holes of the silicone water outlet face cover are easily deformed and difficult to be aligned and installed to protrude outside the water outlet cover plate, resulting in troublesome installation.

[0004] In view of this, the inventor of the present invention deeply conceived and actively researched, improved and tried to develop the present invention in view of the many deficiencies and inconveniences caused by the imperfect structure design. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a shower head with low processing cost and convenient installation.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0007] A shower head, comprising: a shower head body, a switching water outlet mechanism, a water distribution mechanism having two water flow channels, a water outlet plate, a water guiding body and a face cover. The water guiding body is integrally injection molded with a plurality of first function water outlet nozzles arranged at intervals. The face cover is provided with a plurality of through holes at intervals. The first function water outlet nozzles penetrate through the corresponding through holes. A gap that can be used as a second function water outlet is formed between the outer wall of the first function water outlet nozzle and the hole wall of the corresponding through hole. A first water outlet cavity is formed between the water outlet plate and the water guiding body. A second water outlet cavity is formed between the water guiding body and the face cover. The face cover presses and fixes the water guiding body and the water outlet plate in the shower head body. The switching water outlet mechanism and the water distribution mechanism are both accommodated in the shower head body. The switching water outlet mechanism selectively switches and communicates the water inlet of the shower head body and the water flow channels. One of the water flow channels of the water distribution mechanism communicates with the first water outlet cavity, and the other water flow channel of the water distribution mechanism communicates with the second water outlet cavity.

[0008] A plurality of vertical water grooves are spaced and recessed on the outer side wall of the first function water outlet nozzle.

[0009] The shower body includes a handle, a shower head, and a connector. The handle is screwed and sealed to connect to the connector, the connector is sealed to connect to the shower head. The face cover presses and fixes the water guide body and the water outlet plate inside the shower head. The switching water outlet mechanism and the water distribution mechanism are both accommodated inside the shower head.

[0010] The switching water outlet mechanism is a button-controlled switching water outlet mechanism.

[0011] A filter element assembly capable of filtering water is provided inside the handle. The water inlet of the filter element assembly communicates with the water inlet of the handle, the water outlet of the filter element assembly is sealed and communicated with the water inlet of the connector, and the water outlet of the connector is selectively communicated with the water distribution channels of the water distribution mechanism through the switching water outlet mechanism.

[0012] The switching water outlet structure includes a button, a push rod with push teeth spaced at one end, a turntable, a spring, and a pivot shaft. The button protrudes outside the shower head. The turntable has two communicating channels and a cooperation block with a plurality of cooperation inclined surfaces spaced at intervals. The communicating channels are arranged on one side of the turntable and are communicated with the water outlet of the connector. The push teeth abut against the cooperation inclined surfaces. The pivot shaft is sleeved with the spring, and the spring is arranged between the turntable and the inner wall of the water outlet of the connector. The pivot shaft penetrates through the turntable and is partially accommodated inside the push rod. The push rod penetrates through the water distribution mechanism, and the other end of the push rod abuts against the inner wall of the button. When the button is pressed, the push rod approaches the inner wall of the connector, the push teeth move along one of the cooperation inclined surfaces, and drive the turntable to rotate and approach the inner wall of the connector, and the spring is compressed. When the button is released, the spring elastically recovers, the turntable and the push rod move away from the inner wall of the connector. At the same time, the push teeth of the push rod climb onto the adjacent other cooperation inclined surface. As the turntable rotates, the communicating channels of the turntable are selectively communicated with the corresponding water distribution channels.

[0013] The water distribution mechanism includes a control box and a cover plate. The water distribution channels are arranged in the control box. The other end of the push rod penetrates through the control box and the cover plate. Two spaced inlet channels protrude from one end of the control box, and the inlet channels are respectively communicated with the corresponding water distribution channels. The inlet channels are selectively communicated with the corresponding communicating channels of the turntable. The cover plate covers the water distribution channels of the control box. Two water outlet ends protrude from the cover plate, and the water outlet ends are respectively communicated with the corresponding water distribution channels at the other end of the control box. Two water inlet channels are provided on the water outlet plate, and a water inlet channel is provided on the water guide body. One of the water outlet ends is sealed and communicated with one of the water inlet channels of the water outlet plate, and the other water outlet end is sealed and communicated with the other water inlet channel of the water outlet plate. The other water inlet channel of the water outlet plate is sealed and communicated to the water inlet channel of the water guide body.

[0014] The control box and the cover plate are fixed to the connector by screws.

[0015] A water distribution pad is provided between the water inlet channel and the turntable. A sealing ring is provided between the water inlet channel and the water outlet of the joint. A sealing ring is provided at the connection between the joint and the handle. A sealing ring through which the push rod passes is provided between the cover plate and the control box. A sealing ring is respectively provided at the connection between one water outlet end and one water inlet channel of the water outlet plate and at the connection between the other water outlet end and the other water inlet channel of the water outlet plate.

[0016] The cross-section of the vertical water flow groove is V-shaped.

[0017] After adopting the above technical solution, through the structural settings of the shower body, the switching water outlet mechanism, the water distribution mechanism, the water outlet plate, the water guiding body and the face cover, the present invention integrally injects and forms the first functional water outlet nozzle on the water guiding body, and uses the hole wall of the through hole between the first functional water outlet nozzle and the face cover to form a gap as the second functional water outlet. A first water outlet cavity is formed between the water outlet plate and the water guiding body, and a second water outlet cavity is formed between the water guiding body and the face cover. The switching water outlet mechanism selectively switches and communicates the water inlet of the shower body and the water distribution channel. One of the water distribution channels of the water distribution mechanism communicates with the first water outlet cavity, and the other water distribution channel of the water distribution mechanism communicates with the second water outlet cavity. When water enters the first water outlet cavity, the first functional water outlet nozzle discharges water. When water enters the second water outlet cavity, the gap discharges water, realizing that the present invention can discharge two types of functional water. The present invention only needs to process and manufacture the first functional water outlet nozzle, and the first functional water outlet nozzle is directly integrally injection molded, so that the processing cost of the present invention is low, and the first functional water outlet nozzle will not deform during the installation process, making the installation of the present invention convenient.

[0054] To achieve the above objectives and effects, the technical means and structure adopted in the present invention are described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments of the present invention in the accompanying drawings below, so as to facilitate a complete understanding of its features and functions.

[0055] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the present invention discloses a shower head, including: a shower head body 1, a switching water outlet mechanism 2, a water distribution mechanism 3 having two water flow channels 31, a water outlet plate 4, a water guiding body 5 and a face cover 6. A plurality of first functional water outlet nozzles 51 are integrally injection molded on the water guiding body 5 at intervals. A plurality of through holes 61 are provided on the face cover 6 at intervals. The first functional water outlet nozzles 51 penetrate through the corresponding through holes 61. There is a gap between the first functional water outlet nozzles 51 and the hole walls of the corresponding through holes 61 that can be used as a second functional water outlet. A first water outlet cavity 45 is formed between the water outlet plate 4 and the water guiding body 5. A second water outlet cavity 56 is formed between the water guiding body 5 and the face cover 6. The face cover 6 presses and fixes the water guiding body 5 and the water outlet plate 4 in the shower head body 1. Both the switching water outlet mechanism 2 and the water distribution mechanism 3 are accommodated in the shower head body 1. The switching water outlet mechanism 2 selectively switches and communicates the water inlet of the shower head body 1 and the water flow channels 31. One of the water flow channels 31 of the water distribution mechanism 3 communicates with the first water outlet cavity 45, and the other water flow channel 31 of the water distribution mechanism 3 communicates with the second water outlet cavity 56.

[0056] Therefore, through the structural settings of the shower head body 1, the switching water outlet mechanism 2, the water distribution mechanism 3, the water outlet plate 4, the water guiding body 5 and the face cover 6 in the present invention, the first functional water outlet nozzles 51 are integrally injection molded on the water guiding body 5. The gap between the first functional water outlet nozzles 51 and the hole walls of the through holes 61 of the face cover 6 is used as the second functional water outlet. A first water outlet cavity 45 is formed between the water outlet plate 4 and the water guiding body 5. A second water outlet cavity 56 is formed between the water guiding body 5 and the face cover 6. The switching water outlet mechanism 2 selectively switches and communicates the water inlet of the shower head body 1 and the water flow channels 31. One of the water flow channels 31 of the water distribution mechanism 3 communicates with the first water outlet cavity 45, and the other water flow channel 31 of the water distribution mechanism 3 communicates with the second water outlet cavity 56. When water enters the first water outlet cavity 45, the first functional water outlet nozzles 51 discharge water. When water enters the second water outlet cavity 56, the gap discharges water, realizing that the present invention can discharge two types of functional water. The present invention only needs to process and manufacture the first functional water outlet nozzles 51, and the first functional water outlet nozzles 51 are directly integrally injection molded, making the processing cost of the present invention low, and the first functional water outlet nozzles 51 will not deform during the installation process, making the installation of the present invention convenient.

[0057] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the outflow of the second functional water, a plurality of vertical water grooves 52 can be recessed at intervals on the outer side wall of the first functional water outlet nozzles 51, thereby increasing the water outlet surface of the second functional water. When the vertical water grooves 52 are not provided, the second functional water can be a water flow with a circular cross-section in the shape of a ring.

[0058] Furthermore, the cross-section of the vertical water chute 52 can be V-shaped, so that a triangular water outlet cross-section can be formed between the vertical water chute 52 and the pore wall of the through hole 61, enabling the second functional water to be a water flow with a triangular cross-section. However, this is not the only limit, and the manufacturer can carry out different structural designs according to different customer requirements. For example, a circular water outlet cross-section or a square water outlet cross-section can be formed between the vertical water chute 52 and the pore wall of the through hole 61, etc., which will not be elaborated here.

[0059] Next, for the convenience of installation, to reduce the handling volume of the shower head of the present invention and achieve disassembly and assembly, the shower head body 1 can include a handle 11, a shower head 12 and a joint 13. The handle 11 is screwed and sealed to connect the joint 13. The joint 13 is sealed to connect the shower head 12. The face cover 6 presses and fixes the water guide body 5 and the water outlet plate 4 in the shower head 12. The switching water outlet mechanism 2 and the water distribution mechanism 3 are both accommodated in the shower head 12. The joint 13 is accommodated in the shower head 12.

[0060] Further, the switching water outlet mechanism 2 can be a switching water outlet mechanism 2 controlled by a button 21.

[0061] In addition, to filter the water flowing into the shower head of the present invention, a filter element assembly 14 capable of filtering water can be provided in the handle 11. The structure of the filter element assembly 14 is a commonly used structure in the art and will not be elaborated here. The water inlet of the filter element assembly 14 communicates with the water inlet of the handle 11. The water outlet of the filter element assembly 14 is sealed and communicated with the water inlet of the joint 13. The water outlet 131 of the joint is selectively communicated with the water distribution channel 31 of the water distribution mechanism 3 through the switching water outlet mechanism 2.

[0062] In this embodiment, the switching water outlet structure may include a button 21, a push rod 22 with a push tooth 221 spaced at one end, a turntable 23, a spring 24 and a pivot shaft 25. The pivot shaft 25 is made of stainless steel. The button 21 protrudes outside the shower head 11. The turntable 23 has two communicating flow channels 231 and a mating block 232 with a plurality of mating inclined surfaces 2321 spaced therebetween. The communicating flow channels 231 are provided on one side of the turntable 23. The communicating flow channels 231 communicate with the water outlet 131 of the joint. The push tooth 221 abuts against the mating inclined surface 2321. The pivot shaft 25 is sleeved with the spring 24. The spring 24 is arranged between the turntable 23 and the inner wall of the water outlet 131 of the joint. The pivot shaft 25 passes through the turntable 23 and is partially accommodated in the push rod 22. The push rod 22 passes through the water distribution mechanism 3. The other end of the push rod 22 abuts against the inner wall of the button 21. When the button 21 is pressed, the push rod 22 approaches the inner wall of the joint 13. The push tooth 221 moves along one of the mating inclined surfaces 2321, and pushes the turntable 23 to rotate and approach the inner wall of the joint 13. The spring 24 is compressed. When the button 21 is released, the spring 24 elastically recovers. The turntable 23 and the push rod 22 move away from the inner wall of the joint 13. At the same time, the push tooth 221 of the push rod 22 climbs onto the adjacent other mating inclined surface 2321. As the turntable 23 rotates, the communicating flow channel 231 of the turntable 23 selectively communicates with the corresponding water distribution flow channel 31. The above principle is the same as that of the automatic ballpoint pen mechanism in life. Thus, it can be realized that when the user presses the button 21 once, the turntable 23 will rotate in sequence. When the communicating flow channel 231 of the turntable 23 communicates with the water distribution flow channel 31, the water will flow from the water outlet 131 of the joint into the communicated water distribution flow channel 31. If only one water distribution flow channel 31 communicates with the corresponding communicating flow channel 231 of the turntable 23, then the shower of the present invention only discharges one kind of functional water. When both water distribution flow channels 31 communicate with the corresponding communicating flow channels 231 of the turntable 23, then the shower of the present invention discharges two kinds of functional water. If neither of the two water distribution flow channels 31 communicates with the communicating flow channel 231 of the turntable 23, then the shower of the present invention does not discharge water.

[0063] Further, to facilitate the sequential connection of the water diversion channels 31 of the water diversion mechanism 3 to the corresponding first water outlet chambers 45 and second water outlet chambers 56, the water diversion mechanism 3 may include a control box 32 and a cover plate 33. The water diversion channels 31 are provided in the control box 32. The other end of the top push rod 22 passes through the control box 32 and the cover plate 33. Two spaced inlet water channels 321 protrude from one end of the control box 32. The inlet water channels 321 are respectively connected to the corresponding water diversion channels 31. The inlet water channels 321 are selectively connected to the communication channels 231 of the corresponding turntables 23. The cover plate 33 covers the water diversion channels 31 of the control box 32. Two water outlet ends 331 protrude from the cover plate 33. The water outlet ends 331 are respectively connected to the water diversion channels 31 at the other end of the corresponding control box 32. Two inlet channels 41 are provided on the water outlet plate 4. The water guide body 5 is provided with a water inlet channel 53. One of the water outlet ends 331 is hermetically connected to one of the inlet channels 41 of the water outlet plate 4, and the other water outlet end 331 is hermetically connected to the other inlet channel 41 of the water outlet plate 4. The other inlet channel 41 of the water outlet plate 4 is hermetically connected to the water inlet channel 53 of the water guide body 5.

[0064] Wherein, the control box 32 and the cover plate 33 can be fixed to the joint 13 by screws 7, so that the control box 32 and the cover plate 33 are firmly fitted with the joint 13.

[0065] To improve the overall sealing performance of the present invention, a water diversion pad 8 can be provided between the inlet water channel 321 and the turntable 23. A sealing ring 9 can be provided between the inlet water channel 321 and the water outlet 131 of the joint. A sealing ring 9 can be provided at the connection between the joint 13 and the handle 11. A sealing ring 9 for the top push rod 22 to pass through can be provided between the cover plate 33 and the control box 32. Sealing rings 9 can be respectively provided at the connections between one of the water outlet ends 331 and one of the inlet channels 41 of the water outlet plate 4 and between the other water outlet end 331 and the other inlet channel 41 of the water outlet plate 4.

[0066] The technical content and features of the present invention have been disclosed above. The composition of the present invention is not limited to the above. Those skilled in the art may still make various substitutions and modifications that do not deviate from the creative spirit of the present invention based on the disclosure of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should not be limited to what is disclosed in the embodiments, but should include various substitutions and modifications that do not deviate from the present invention and are covered by the claims.
