Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of faucets and relates to a shower faucet, in particular to a shower faucet with a drainage function. Background Art

[0002] Shower kit is a common bathroom product, generally including shower faucet, shower head and shower nozzle. The shower faucet is equipped with a mixing valve core for cold and hot water and a function switching valve core. After the cold and hot water are mixed in the mixing valve core, they are passed through pipes to the function switching valve core, and then through the various function water outlet holes of the function switching valve core through pipes to the various function water outlet pipes of the bathtub shower faucet. Currently, the most common hot and cold water ceramic valve core on the market is the hot and cold water ceramic valve core. The water output of the hot and cold water ceramic valve core is achieved by the user toggling the rocker. The user turns the rocker to one side to achieve water output, and turns it in the opposite direction to reduce the water output.

[0003] During the use of the existing shower kit, when the faucet is closed, water accumulates in the entire faucet cavity and each functional pipeline, so the following problems will occur: 1. The water accumulated in the faucet is used by other water outlet devices in the home. When the water in the pipeline flows, air is injected into the shower faucet with water accumulation, and the water accumulated in the inner cavity of the shower faucet will drip onto the ground, making noise and causing water accumulation on the originally clean ground, which greatly reduces the user experience; 2. The longer the water accumulates in the inner cavity of the faucet and the pipeline of the shower product, the more likely it is that bacteria will breed in the accumulated water, metal parts will rust, the accumulated water will stink, and scale will be produced. When in use, the water with bacteria will be sprinkled on the user's skin, posing a great safety hazard to human health; 3. In northern regions, the accumulated water in the inner cavity of the faucet and the pipeline of the shower product is easy to freeze. After the accumulated water freezes, its volume increases, which in turn causes the faucet and the pipeline to be cracked, causing damage to the faucet and the shower product. For example, the China Patent Network discloses a synchronous switch valve core [Authorization Announcement No.: CN211082942U], including a shell, a base, a handle, a rotating seat, an upper body and a lower body. The lower end of the upper body is provided with a first water guide cavity, a second water guide cavity and a third water guide cavity for guiding water in sequence along the circumferential direction. The upper end of the lower body is abutted with the lower end of the upper body, and the lower end of the lower body is fixedly connected to the base. The lower body is provided with a first water inlet hole, a first water outlet hole, a second water outlet hole and a third water outlet hole in sequence along the circumferential direction, and the center of the lower body is provided with a second water inlet hole. When the upper body rotates to the first position, the valve core is closed, and the water inlet hole and the water outlet hole are not connected, so that the valve core closes the cold water inlet or the hot water inlet while closing the mixed water. Although the amount of water supplied by the valve core to the inside of the faucet is reduced, there is still water accumulation in the faucet cavity and the pipeline of the shower product.

[0004] In addition, the China Patent Network discloses a faucet that can automatically drain the water accumulated in the internal channel [Authorization Announcement No.: CN101387346B], including a faucet main body, a valve core assembly is arranged in the valve seat of the faucet main body, the valve core assembly includes a fixed valve plate, a movable valve plate and a switching rod, the switching rod is equipped with a control handle, a water tank is provided on the movable valve plate, a first water inlet hole and a first water outlet hole are provided on the fixed valve plate, a first drainage hole is also provided on the fixed valve plate, and a second drainage hole is provided on the valve seat that is communicated with the first drainage hole, and the second drainage hole is communicated with the outside world. When the control When the handle is turned to the position of closing the faucet water outlet, at least in one position state, the water groove on the movable valve plate can communicate with the first drainage hole and the first water outlet hole. A block is also arranged in the water groove of the movable valve plate, which divides the water groove into an inlet groove and an outlet groove. A water channel connecting the inlet groove and the outlet groove is formed above the water groove. The first water outlet hole of the fixed valve plate is arranged in a direction close to the water outlet pipe. The water outlet groove of the movable valve plate is also close to the edge of the fixed valve plate on the fixed valve plate away from the first water outlet hole, and is located between the edge of the fixed valve plate and the first water inlet hole. The first drainage hole is distributed in the shape of a long arc. When the user pulls the control handle, the fixed valve plate slides and rotates accordingly. When the user turns the control handle to the position of closing the water outlet, the block set in the water tank of the movable valve plate just blocks the two first water inlet holes, and the water inlet tank covers the first water outlet hole, and the water outlet tank covers the first drain hole. The water inlet tank and the water outlet tank communicate through the water channel, so that the accumulated water in the faucet outlet channel enters from the first water outlet hole, flows through the water inlet tank, the water channel, the water outlet tank, the first drain hole and the second drain hole to be discharged to the outside. The above-mentioned faucet has only one water inlet hole and one water outlet hole, so that the valve core assembly in the faucet disclosed in the above-mentioned patent cannot be used in conjunction with the shower kit.

At this time, the accumulated water in the corresponding pipes of the shower head and the shower head are collected in the connecting groove through their respective water outlets, and the bathtub spout is located lower than the shower head and the shower head. The water in the connecting groove is discharged outward through the bathtub spout, so that the accumulated water in the faucet body and the pipes corresponding to the overhead shower assembly and the handheld spray head assembly are discharged outward through the bathtub spout, realizing automatic drainage when the shower faucet is closed, improving the convenience of drainage operation, solving the problem of dripping when the bathroom product is not in use, improving user experience, and avoiding the problem of water accumulation in the pipes of the bathroom kit causing rusting of metal parts and the generation of scale, extending the service life of the bathroom kit, and avoiding the faucet and pipes being cracked by the faucet and pipes due to the freezing of accumulated water in the faucet and pipes, further improving the service life of the bathroom kit. In addition, the water-dividing valve core mainly improves the structure of the moving valve plate, which will not cause product design restrictions and has no effect on the product's styling design.

[0009] In the above-mentioned shower faucet with drainage function, all water outlets are arranged along the circumference of the fixed valve plate, and the connecting groove is in an arc shape. When the shower faucet is closed, the connecting groove in an arc shape can connect the three water outlets corresponding to the bathtub spout, the overhead shower assembly and the handheld spray head assembly to each other.

At this time, the accumulated water in the corresponding pipes of the bathtub outlet nozzle and the handheld spray head assembly is discharged outward through the water outlet hole of the bathtub outlet nozzle;

[0013] When the water inlet is connected to the water outlet hole corresponding to the handheld spray head assembly, water is discharged from the handheld spray head assembly, and the connecting groove connects the water outlet hole corresponding to the bathtub water outlet, the water outlet hole corresponding to the overhead shower assembly, and the fourth water outlet hole. At this time, the accumulated water in the corresponding pipes of the bathtub water outlet and the overhead shower assembly is discharged outward through the water outlet hole of the bathtub water outlet;

[0014] When the water inlet is connected to the fourth water outlet, the shower faucet is in a closed state, and the connecting groove connects the water outlet corresponding to the bathtub outlet, the water outlet corresponding to the overhead shower assembly, and the water outlet corresponding to the handheld spray head assembly. At this time, the accumulated water in the corresponding pipelines of the bathtub outlet, the overhead shower assembly, and the handheld spray head assembly are all discharged outward through the water outlet of the bathtub outlet. The design of this structure makes it possible that no matter when the water inlet is connected to any water outlet, the connecting groove connects the water channels corresponding to the other three water outlets to each other, the bathtub outlet is located lower than the overhead shower assembly and the handheld spray head assembly, and the accumulated water in the corresponding pipelines of the overhead shower assembly and the handheld spray head assembly flows to the shower faucet. During the process of the bathtub outlet draining water outward, air enters the pipeline. Under the action of air pressure, the shower faucet is closed, that is, the water is automatically drained, and the accumulated water in each water channel is emptied.

[0015] In the above-mentioned shower faucet with drainage function, at least three water inlet holes are opened on the side wall of the shell, and the water inlet holes correspond to the water outlet holes one by one, and the water inlet can be connected with the water inlet hole and the corresponding water outlet hole.
