Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a shower head, and more particularly to a shower head capable of discharging spray gun water. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, in order to make the functions of the shower head more complete, there are already shower heads on the market that can discharge spray gun water. When it is necessary to rinse the bathroom, the water path inside the shower head is switched by pressing a button or rotating the water outlet cover, so that the water flows out from the spray gun water outlet on the shower head to rinse the bathroom, realizing the spray gun water function of the shower head, thus eliminating the need to additionally install a spray gun and saving costs and the space layout of the bathroom.

[0003] However, for the existing shower heads capable of discharging spray gun water, generally, the spray gun water outlet is arranged on the water outlet cover or on the outer shell body on the back of the water outlet cover. The defect of arranging the spray gun water outlet on the water outlet cover is that the position of the spray gun water outlet will rotate as the water outlet cover rotates, and the position of the spray gun water outlet is not fixed, which is likely to cause accidental spraying. The defect of arranging the spray gun water outlet on the outer shell body on the back of the water outlet cover is that the outer shell body on the back of the water outlet cover usually needs to be electroplated to improve the product quality. A complete surface is easier to electroplate, and the electroplating quality and qualification rate are higher. Once an opening is provided, it is not easy to electroplate, resulting in a decrease in the electroplating qualification rate and an increase in production costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a shower head capable of discharging spray gun water, in which the position of the spray gun water outlet is fixed and does not rotate with the rotation of the face cover assembly, which is more convenient to use and does not affect the electroplating process of the body assembly that needs to be electroplated.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: A shower head capable of discharging spray gun water, comprising:

[0006] A body assembly having a water inlet;

[0007] A face cover assembly having a face cover water outlet and rotatably connected to the body assembly, and a relief opening is provided in the middle of the face cover assembly;

[0008] A central water outlet body having a central water outlet, and the central water outlet includes a spray gun water outlet capable of discharging spray gun water. The central water outlet body is located at the relief opening and is fixedly arranged relative to the body assembly;

[0009] When the face cover assembly is rotated relative to the body assembly, the water inlet is communicated with the face cover water outlet or the central water outlet or simultaneously communicated with the face cover water outlet and the central water outlet.

[0010] According to the shower head capable of spraying water from a spray gun, a central water outlet is provided, the central water outlet is provided at the middle of the cover assembly at the clearance opening and fixed relative to the body assembly, and the spray gun water outlet is provided on the central water outlet. In this way, on the one hand, when the cover assembly rotates relative to the body assembly to switch the water path, the relative position of the spray gun water outlet and the body assembly remains fixed, thereby avoiding the problem of mis-spraying caused by the spray gun water outlet rotating with the cover assembly in the prior art; on the other hand, the spray gun water outlet is not provided on the body assembly, which will not affect the electroplating process of the body assembly that needs electroplating.

[0011] A further improvement on the above scheme, the body assembly includes a body with a handle and a fixed water diversion body fixedly connected to the body, the central water outlet is fixedly connected to the body or the fixed water diversion body, a second spray gun water passage is formed between the fixed water diversion body and the body, the spray gun water outlet is connected to the second spray gun water passage, and when the cover assembly moves to a position where the water inlet is connected to the spray gun water outlet, the second spray gun water passage is connected to the water inlet. This scheme allows water from the water inlet to flow to the spray gun water outlet through the second spray gun water passage formed between the fixed water diversion body and the body, and has a simple structure and a reasonable layout.

[0012] In a further improvement on the above scheme, a water inlet channel connected to the water inlet is formed between the fixed water diversion body and the main body, and a water inlet hole connected to the water inlet channel is provided on the fixed water diversion body;

[0013] The face cover assembly comprises a face cover and a rotating water diversion body which are fixedly connected, the rotating water diversion body being provided with a spray gun water through hole and a face cover water through hole, when the face cover assembly is rotated, the water inlet through hole is connected with the spray gun water through hole, or is connected with the face cover water through hole, or is connected with the spray gun water through hole and the face cover water through hole at the same time; a face cover water through cavity connected with the face cover water through hole and a first spray gun water through channel connected with the spray gun water through hole are formed between the face cover and the rotating water diversion body, the face cover water outlet is connected with the face cover water through cavity, when the face cover assembly moves to a position where the water inlet is connected with the spray gun water outlet, the water outlet end of the first spray gun water through channel is connected with the water inlet end of the second spray gun water through channel. This solution effectively realizes the water circuit switching function of the face cover assembly, and realizes that the water at the water inlet flows through the water inlet channel, the water inlet hole, the spray gun hole, the first spray gun water channel, the second spray gun water channel in sequence and then flows out of the spray gun water outlet, and realizes that the water at the water inlet flows through the water inlet channel, the water inlet hole, the face cover hole, the face cover water cavity in sequence and then flows out of the face cover water outlet. The water circuit design is simple and the switching function is reliable.

[0014] On the basis of the above solution, for a further improvement, the water outlet end of the water passage of the first spray gun is a water outlet hole of the water passage of the first spray gun provided on the rotating water distributor, and the water inlet end of the water passage of the second spray gun is a water inlet hole of the water passage of the second spray gun provided on the fixed water distributor. When the water outlet hole of the water passage of the first spray gun corresponds to the water inlet hole of the water passage of the second spray gun, a sealed connection is formed through a sealing member. In this solution, the connection or disconnection of the water passage of the first spray gun and the water passage of the second spray gun is realized by the correspondence or dislocation of the water outlet hole of the water passage of the first spray gun and the water inlet hole of the water passage of the second spray gun. The structure is simple and it is easy to realize the connection or disconnection of the two channels.

[0015] On the basis of the above solution, for a further improvement, a small face cover is provided on the central water outlet body. The central water outlet further includes a small face cover water outlet opened on the small face cover. A second small face cover water passage is further formed between the fixed water distributor and the main body. The small face cover water outlet is connected to the second small face cover water passage. A small face cover water hole is further provided on the rotating water distributor. When the face cover assembly is rotated, the water inlet water hole is connected to any one of the water holes of the spray gun water hole, the face cover water hole, and the small face cover water hole, or any two of the water holes are connected, or the three water holes are connected at the same time; a first small face cover water passage connected to the small face cover water hole is further formed between the face cover and the rotating water distributor. When the face cover assembly moves to a position where the water inlet is connected to the small face cover water outlet, the water inlet water hole is at least connected to the small face cover water hole, and the first small face cover water passage is connected to the second small face cover water passage. In this solution, by providing a small face cover with a small face cover water outlet on the central water outlet body and a small face cover water hole on the rotating water distributor, when the face cover assembly is rotated, the connection or disconnection of the water inlet water hole with the water holes of the spray gun, the face cover, and the small face cover can be switched and controlled. The shower water outlet modes are more, the functions are more abundant, and the switching control structure of the water circuit is simple and reliable.

[0016] On the basis of the above solution, for a further improvement, the face cover includes an outer face cover and an inner face cover. The inner face cover is located between the outer face cover and the rotating water distributor. A face cover water cavity and the water passage of the first spray gun are formed between the inner face cover and the rotating water distributor. A face cover water outlet cavity connected to the face cover water cavity is formed between the outer face cover and the inner face cover. The face cover water outlet is provided on the outer face cover and is connected to the face cover water outlet cavity. In this solution, the structure of the face cover assembly is compact and the water circuit design is reasonable.

[0017] Based on further improvements to the above solution, the central water outlet body includes a spray gun water outlet cavity and a small face cover water outlet cavity. The spray gun water outlet cavity is respectively communicated with the first spray gun water passage and the spray gun water outlet. The small face cover water outlet cavity is respectively communicated with the first small face cover water passage and the small face cover water outlet. The spray gun water outlet is opened from the side wall of the spray gun water outlet cavity in a direction away from the water inlet so that the spray gun water sprays out relative to the body assembly in a direction away from the water inlet. This solution makes the water flow direction of the spray gun water outlet more in line with the usage habit and more convenient to use.

[0018] Based on further improvements to the above solution, an elastic member is provided between the face cover assembly and the body assembly. During the process that the face cover assembly moves to a position where the water inlet is communicated with the spray gun water outlet, it overcomes the elastic force of the elastic member. When the external force applied to the face cover assembly is removed, the face cover assembly moves under the action of the elastic force of the elastic member to a position where the water inlet is cut off from the spray gun water outlet. This solution enables that when the spray gun water is not needed, as long as the external force is removed, the face cover assembly can automatically reset to other water outlet states where the spray gun water outlet does not discharge water (such as the face cover water outlet or the small face cover water outlet) under the action of the elastic member, which is more convenient to use. And each time the shower is started, the spray gun water will not be discharged first, thus avoiding the problem of spray gun water splashing.

[0019] Based on further improvements to the above solution, a gear position prompt structure is also provided between the body assembly and the face cover assembly. The gear position prompt structure includes a spring pin assembly provided on one of the body assembly and the face cover assembly and a plurality of gear position grooves / holes provided on the other of the body assembly and the face cover assembly. When the face cover assembly rotates relative to the body assembly, the spring pin assembly cooperates with the plurality of gear position grooves / holes in sequence;

[0020] The gear position grooves / holes at least include face cover gear position grooves / holes, spray gun gear position grooves / holes, and first mixing gear position grooves / holes. When the face cover assembly rotates to a position where the spring pin assembly cooperates with the face cover gear position grooves / holes, the water inlet is communicated with the face cover water outlet; when the face cover assembly rotates to a position where the spring pin assembly cooperates with the spray gun gear position grooves / holes, the water inlet is communicated with the spray gun water outlet; when the face cover assembly rotates to the first mixing gear position grooves / holes, the water inlet is simultaneously communicated with the face cover water outlet and the spray gun water outlet;

[0021] The first mixing gear position grooves / holes are located between the face cover gear position grooves / holes and the spray gun gear position grooves / holes.

[0022] In the above solution, on the one hand, the rotation of the face cover assembly has gears, and different gears correspond to different water outlet modes, thus facilitating the control of different water outlet modes. On the other hand, since the first mixing gear slot / hole is located between the face cover gear slot / hole and the spray gun gear slot / hole, when the face cover assembly rotates from the gear position where all water flows out of the face cover water outlet (the position where the spring pin assembly cooperates with the face cover gear slot / hole) to the gear position where all water flows out of the spray gun water outlet (the position where the spring pin assembly cooperates with the spray gun gear slot / hole), the face cover assembly will first move to the first mixed water outlet gear position where a part of the water flows out of the face cover water outlet and the other part of the water flows out of the spray gun water outlet (the position where the spring pin assembly cooperates with the first mixing gear slot / hole). This can remind the user to continue rotating the face cover assembly to control all the water flow to spray out from the spray gun water outlet, avoiding being splashed by the spray gun water due to the user's inattention.

[0023] Based on a further improvement of the above solution, when the face cover assembly moves to a position where the water inlet is connected to the spray gun water outlet, the elastic force of the elastic member can overcome the elastic force of the spring pin assembly so that the spring pin assembly can slide past the spray gun gear slot / hole and the first mixing gear slot / hole and move to a position where it cooperates with the face cover gear slot / hole. In this solution, when the spray gun water is not needed, the face cover assembly will not be limited by the gear reminder structure to the position where the spray gun water outlet discharges water, and the face cover assembly can be reset to a position where other water outlets (such as the face cover water outlet or the small face cover water outlet, etc.) discharge water under the action of the elastic force.

[0024] Based on a further improvement of the above solution, the elastic member is a compression spring. One of the body assembly and the face cover assembly is provided with a spring installation groove for installing the compression spring, and the other of the body assembly and the face cover assembly is provided with a convex block that can slide in the spring installation groove. One end of the compression spring abuts against the end wall of the spring installation groove, and the other end cooperates with the convex block. This solution facilitates the installation of the compression spring, and the compression spring can elastically deform reliably in the spring installation groove to ensure the reliable reset of the face cover assembly.
