It should be noted that the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other arbitrarily without conflict.

[0037] Embodiment 1

[0038] The shower assembly provided by the present invention is as follows Figures 1 to 9 As shown, it includes a top spray pipeline, a mounting member 300, a gasket 400, a sealing ring 500, a top spray shower head 600 and a sealing member 700. The top spray pipeline includes a top spray pipe 100 and a top spray joint 200.

[0039] like Figure 3 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, the top spray pipe 100 is a horizontally placed circular tube, a water supply channel 110 is formed inside the circular tube, a positioning notch 120 and a positioning circular hole 130 are provided on the side wall of the outlet end of the circular tube, and the positioning notch 120 is located axially outside the positioning circular hole 130.

[0040] like Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, a connection nozzle 210 is protruded on the side wall of the top spray joint 200, and elastic positioning columns 220 and positioning ribs 230 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction on the outer side of the connection nozzle 210, and a silicone ring is arranged on the outer side of the connection nozzle 210. A mounting cavity 240 with a lower opening is arranged inside the top spray joint 200, and a connecting port 250 is arranged on the common wall between the mounting cavity 240 and the connection nozzle 210, and the connecting port 250 connects the connection nozzle 210 and the mounting cavity 240, and an external thread is arranged on the outer side of the lower end of the mounting cavity 240.

[0041] like Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, a first water passage 310 is provided inside the mounting member 300, the water inlet of the first water passage 310 is located on the top wall of the mounting member 300, and the water outlet of the first water passage 310 is located on the side wall of the mounting member 300, and four of them are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction. An annular positioning groove 320 is provided on the outer surface of the mounting member 300, and the annular positioning groove 320 is located below the water outlet of the first water passage 310. An annular boss 330 is provided on the outer surface of the middle part of the mounting member 300, and the annular boss 330 is located above the water outlet of the first water passage 310, and a silicone ring is provided on the surface of the annular boss 330.

[0042] like Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the sealing member 700 is in a ring shape, and a lip 710 is provided on the outer side surface of the sealing member 700 .

[0043] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the gasket 400 is provided with connecting holes 410 , and four connecting holes 410 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction.

[0044] like Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the connection port of the overhead shower head 600 is provided with internal threads and an upward sealing table 610 .

[0045] The assembly relationship between the various parts of the shower assembly is as follows:

[0046] like Figure 3 , Figure 4, Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the elastic positioning column 220 is pressed, and the connecting nozzle 210 is inserted into the outlet end of the top nozzle 100, so that the elastic positioning column 220 is stuck in the positioning circular hole 130, and the positioning rib 230 is inserted into the positioning notch 120, completing the sealing connection between the top nozzle 100 and the connecting nozzle 210. Figures 4 to 6 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the seal 700 is stuck in the annular positioning groove 320 of the mounting member 300, and then the mounting member 300 and the seal 700 are installed in the mounting cavity 240 together, and the annular boss 330 is sealed against the inner side surface of the mounting cavity 240. The annular boss 330 separates the space between the outer side surface of the mounting member 300 and the inner side surface of the mounting cavity 240 into an upper annular cavity 810 and a lower annular cavity 820. The connecting port 250 is located on the outer peripheral wall of the upper annular cavity 810, and the water inlet of the first water passage 310 is higher than the connecting port 250. The water inlet of the first water passage 310 is spaced from the top wall of the mounting cavity 240 to communicate with the upper annular cavity 810. The lip 710 of the seal 700 is pressed against the outer peripheral wall of the lower annular cavity 820 to shut off the lower annular cavity 820 (i.e., shut off the second water passage, and the second water passage includes the lower annular cavity 820). Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the sealing ring 500 and the gasket 400 are sequentially installed into the connection port of the top spray shower 600, the sealing ring 500 is placed on the sealing table 610, and the edge of the gasket 400 is placed on the sealing ring 500. Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the connection port of the top spray shower 600 is screwed onto the lower end of the installation cavity 240 , and the lower end of the installation member 300 is pressed against the middle of the gasket 400 , and the lower end surface of the installation cavity 240 is pressed against the edges of the sealing ring 500 and the gasket 400 at the same time.

[0047] The shower head assembly is used as follows:

[0048] like Figure 8 As shown, pressurized water is supplied into the top spray pipe 100, and the pressurized water passes through the connecting port 250, the upper annular cavity 810, the water inlet of the first water passage 310, the first water passage 310, and the water outlet of the first water passage 310 in sequence along the water supply channel 110 to reach the lower annular cavity 820. Under the action of water pressure, the lip 710 is flushed open and separated from the outer peripheral wall of the lower annular cavity 820, and the pressurized water smoothly passes through the lower annular cavity 820, and finally enters the top spray shower 600 along the connecting hole 410, so that the top spray shower 600 can smoothly spray water downward.

[0049] like Fig. 9As shown, the supply of pressurized water to the top spray pipe 100 is stopped. Since the water inlet of the first water passage 310 is higher than the water supply channel 110, the residual water in the water supply channel 110 will be cut off at the water inlet of the first water passage 310 and cannot enter the water inlet of the first water passage 310, and cannot reach the top spray shower 600 but can only be stored in the top spray pipe 100. Therefore, the residual water dripping from the top spray shower 600 is greatly reduced, which can not only save water resources, but also shorten the dripping time of the residual water, and provide consumers with a better shower experience. In addition, the residual water in the top spray shower 600 will form a negative pressure inside the first water passage 310 during the dripping process. The lip 710, under the action of its own elastic force and negative pressure, will again press against the outer peripheral wall of the installation cavity 240, closing the lower annular cavity and blocking the residual water above the seal 700 from flowing down. The residual water dripping from the top spray shower 600 is further reduced, and the dripping time of the residual water is further shortened.

[0050] Embodiment 2

[0051] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that:

[0052] like Fig.10 , Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, an annular positioning groove 320 is provided on the outer surface of the mounting member 300 , and the annular positioning groove 320 is located between the water outlet of the first water passage 310 and the annular boss 330 .

[0053] like Figures 11 to 13 As shown, the sealing member 700 is a sealing sleeve, and an annular positioning rib 720 is provided at the upper end of the sealing sleeve.

[0054] Among them, Figures 10 to 13 As shown, the annular positioning rib 720 is clamped in the annular positioning groove 320 , so that the sealing sleeve is sleeved on the mounting member 300 , and the lower end side wall of the sealing sleeve covers the water outlet of the first water passage 310 .

[0055] The differences in how the shower components are used are as follows:

[0056] like Fig.12 As shown, pressurized water is supplied into the top spray pipe 100, and the pressurized water passes through the connecting port 250, the upper annular cavity 810, the water inlet of the first water passage 310, and the first water passage 310 in sequence along the water supply channel 110 to reach the water outlet of the first water passage 310. Under the action of water pressure, the lower end side wall of the sealing sleeve is flushed open and detached from the mounting member 300, releasing the water outlet of the first water passage 310, and the pressurized water smoothly passes through the water outlet of the first water passage 310, and finally enters the top spray shower 600 along the connecting hole 410, so that the top spray shower 600 can spray water downward smoothly.

[0057] like Fig.13As shown, the supply of pressurized water into the top spray pipe 100 is stopped, and the sealing sleeve covers the water outlet of the first water passage 310 again under the action of its own elastic force, blocking the residual water in the first water passage 310 from flowing downward, and the residual water dripping from the top spray shower head 600 is further reduced, and the dripping time of the residual water is further shortened.

[0058] Embodiment 3

[0059] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that:

[0060] like Fig.14 , Fig.16 and Fig.17 As shown, a mounting cover 340 with an opening at the lower end is provided at the lower end of the mounting member 300, and a water outlet 350 is provided on the top wall of the mounting cover 340. The water outlet 350 is located radially outside the water outlet of the first water passage 310, and eight water outlets 350 are arranged at circumferential intervals. The water outlet of the first water passage 310 is located on the side wall of the mounting member 300 and above the mounting cover 340, and is communicated with the interior of the mounting cover 340 through the lower annular cavity 820 and the water outlet 350. A positioning hole 360 ​​extending toward the lower end opening is provided on the inner top surface of the mounting cover 340.

[0061] like Figures 15 to 17 As shown, the sealing member 700 includes a sealing sheet 730 and a positioning column 740 , and the positioning column 740 is located in the middle of the sealing sheet 730 .

[0062] Among them, Figures 14 to 17 As shown, the positioning column 740 is clamped in the positioning hole 360 ​​so that the sealing member is fixed on the mounting cover 340 , and at this time, the edge of the sealing sheet 730 covers the water outlet 350 upwards.

[0063] The differences in how the shower components are used are as follows:

[0064] like Fig.16 As shown, pressurized water is supplied to the top spray pipe 100, and the pressurized water passes through the connecting port 250, the upper annular cavity 810, the water inlet of the first water passage 310, the first water passage 310, the water outlet of the first water passage 310, and the lower annular cavity 820 along the water supply channel 110 to reach the water passage 350. Under the action of water pressure, the edge of the sealing sheet 730 is flushed open and separated from the top wall of the mounting cover 340, thereby releasing the water passage 350. The pressurized water smoothly passes through the water passage 350 and enters the top spray shower 600, so that the top spray shower 600 can spray water downward smoothly (the second water passage includes the lower annular cavity 820, the water passage 350 and the interior of the mounting cover 340).

[0065] like Fig.17As shown, the supply of pressurized water into the top spray pipe 100 is stopped, and the residual water in the top spray shower head 600 will form a negative pressure inside the first water passage 310 and the lower annular cavity 820 during the dripping process. The sealing sheet 730, under the action of its own elastic force and negative pressure, presses against the top wall of the mounting cover 340 to cover the water outlet 350, thereby blocking the residual water in the first water passage 310 and the lower annular cavity 820 from flowing downward, and the residual water dripping from the top spray shower head 600 is further reduced, and the dripping time of the residual water is further shortened.
