Detailed Implementation

[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] Referring to the accompanying drawings, a versatile shower valve includes a main valve body 10, on which a hot water inlet 11 and a cold water inlet 12 are provided. A mixing valve 15 for adjusting water temperature is disposed within the main valve body 10. The main valve body 10 is also connected via a connecting part 20 to a detachable and replaceable water distribution valve body 30 with different functional types. The water distribution valve body 30 is provided with at least one water outlet module. Through the design of the above structure, this invention allows for different shower modes by replacing the water distribution valve body 30 with different functional types, thereby enhancing product versatility.

[0033] Furthermore, the mixing valve 15 is a rotary temperature-regulating mixing valve core 13 or a thermostatic valve core 14 with temperature locking and constant temperature.

[0034] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment 1 of the present invention, the main valve body 10 includes a main body 16, and the mixing valve 15 is a rotary temperature-regulating mixing valve core 13. The mixing valve core 13 is disposed within the main body 16, and a pressure balance seat 17 is provided between the mixing valve core 13 and the main body 16. More specifically, the pressure balance seat 17 includes a housing 17a, and a balance bolt 17b is disposed within the housing 17a. The balance bolt 17b is connected to a piston 17c. When the cold and hot inlet water pressures change, the piston 17c moves axially within the balance bolt 17b to automatically compensate for the ratio of cold and hot inlet water pressures, thereby achieving a balance between the cold and hot inlet water pressures.

[0035] Furthermore, in the preferred embodiment 2 of the present invention, the main valve body 10 includes a main body 16, the mixing valve 15 is a thermostatic valve core 14 with temperature locking and constant temperature, the thermostatic valve core 14 is disposed inside the main body 14, and an adapter seat 18 is provided between the thermostatic valve core 14 and the main body 16.

[0036] Furthermore, the water distribution valve body 30 includes a seat 31, on which a water inlet 32 ​​is provided, and at least one cavity 33 is also provided on the seat 31. A switch valve core 34 is provided in the cavity 33, and a corresponding water outlet 35 is provided in the cavity 33. More specifically, a water sealing element 36 is also provided at the water inlet 32 ​​in the seat 31.

[0037] In Embodiment 1 of the present invention, there are 3 cavities, and correspondingly, there are 3 water outlets, each corresponding to one of the cavities.

[0038] In Embodiment 2 of the present invention, there are two cavities, and correspondingly, three water outlets are provided, each corresponding to one of the cavities.

[0039] In Embodiment 3 of the present invention, there is one cavity, and correspondingly, there is one water outlet corresponding to the cavity.

[0040] In use, this invention can be combined in various ways to achieve different configurations. More specifically, when the mixing valve 15 is a rotary temperature-regulating mixing valve core 13, it can be divided into three, two, or one water distribution valve body 30 corresponding to the corresponding cavity 33. When the mixing valve 15 is a thermostatic valve core 14 with temperature locking and constant temperature, it can also be divided into three, two, or one water distribution valve body 30 corresponding to the corresponding cavity 33. For specific combination methods, please refer to the appendix to the instruction manual. Figure 5 Included with instruction manual Figure 7 As shown. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when the shower valve has 3 chambers, it can be connected to a shower head, an overhead shower, and a bottom faucet respectively; when the shower valve has 2 chambers, it can be connected to a shower head and an overhead shower, or a shower head and a bottom faucet, or an overhead shower and a bottom faucet; when the shower valve has 1 chamber, it can be connected to a shower head or an overhead shower.

[0041] More specifically, when the shower valve has a single cavity, it also has a water interruption function, which is achieved through the following structure. The water distribution valve body 30 is provided with a first water passage 37a and a second water passage 37b. A switching device 38 for adjusting the water flow direction is provided between the first water passage 37a and the second water passage 37b. The cross-sectional area of ​​the first outlet 39a on the first water passage 37a is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the second outlet 39b on the second water passage 37b. This invention adjusts the water flow direction by pressing the switching device 38. When water flows out from the first water passage 37a, it is normal water flow; when water flows out from the second water passage 37b, it is water interruption. Since the inflow of cold and hot water is not readjusted, there is no need to readjust the water temperature the next time normal water is used. Furthermore, due to the small size of the second outlet 39b, some water will still flow out during water interruption, enough to wet the shower liquid, making it convenient for the user.

[0042] Furthermore, a water-stopping plug 41 is provided in the second water passage 37b. The water-stopping plug 41 is connected to a flow-limiting plate 42. A flow-limiting hole 42a is provided on the flow-limiting plate 42, which is the second water outlet in this invention.

[0043] In this embodiment, after hot and cold water are mixed, they flow through the mixed water inlet 105. Under normal water circuit conditions, the mixed water flows out from the first water passage 37a, forming normal water outlet, as shown in the instruction manual. Figure 9 As shown, at this time, the water-blocking component 38a in the switching device blocks the water inlet of the second water passage 37b. When the user presses the switching device 38, the water-blocking component 38a in the switching device 38 blocks the water inlet of the first water passage 37a, and the water flows out from the second water passage 37b. Due to the action of the water stop plug 41 and the flow limiting plate 42, the water flowing out of the second water passage 37b is only a single point, thus realizing the water pause function. When the user finishes applying shower products, resetting the switching device 38 can reset the water circuit and restore normal water flow without having to readjust the water temperature.
