[0001] The present invention provides a sanitary ware, and particularly relates to a shower head. Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, essential oil shower heads usually use essential oil filters or essential oil capsules as aromatherapy substances. The essential oil filters are usually placed in the handle. When in use, the main body needs to be disassembled. Moreover, the essential oil filters are used for a relatively long time and are prone to breeding bacteria, and the aromatherapy is monotonous in use, resulting in a poor experience. After the essential oil capsules are used up, there are shell residues, which are likely to cause environmental pollution. Summary of the Invention

[0007] When the supporting device is in the first position, at least a part of the supporting device is located between the bath accessory far away from the elastic push plate and the material dropping port; when the supporting device is in the second position, the bath accessory far away from the elastic push plate enters the water flow channel through the material dropping port and mixes with the water in the water flow channel and then flows out from the water outlet nozzle of the shower head; after the material dropping ends, the supporting device resets from the second position to the first position, and the elastic restoring force of the elastic push plate pushes the remaining bath accessories to move towards the direction close to the supporting device.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment: a baffle for opening or closing the material dropping port is further included; the baffle is linked with the driving mechanism through a second linkage mechanism;

[0009] When the driving mechanism drives the supporting device to move from the first position to the second position, the driving mechanism also drives the baffle to move from the closed position to the open position.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment: The water flow channel includes a main flow channel and a water mixing cavity; the water mixing cavity is aligned with the material dropping port; a part of the water in the main flow channel enters the water mixing cavity to be mixed with the bath accessory and then re-enters the main flow channel and flows out from the water outlet of the shower head.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. The present invention provides a shower head for adding bath accessories. Multiple bath accessories can be placed in the accommodating cavity. During use, only the driving mechanism needs to be operated to put one of the multiple bath accessories into the water flow channel. Therefore, before all the multiple bath accessories in the accommodating cavity are put out, the user does not need to open the shower head to add bath accessories, which greatly reduces the number of times the user switches the shower head body and is more convenient to use.

[0020] 2. The present invention provides a shower head for adding bath accessories. By setting a sensor, after one-time placement is completed, the driving mechanism automatically drives the baffle and the supporting device to reset. The user only needs to start the placement program and does not need to operate the driving mechanism to reset again. The operation is further simplified. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034] Reference Figures 1-9 , this embodiment provides a shower head for adding bath accessories. A water flow channel 1 and a receiving cavity 3 for storing bath accessories 2 are provided inside the shower head; a user can add multiple bath accessories 2 into the receiving cavity 3 at one time, so that the quantity of bath accessories 2 filled at one time is relatively large, and the user does not need to frequently open the shower head.

[0035] The multiple bath accessories 2 that have been added into the receiving cavity 3 need to be added into the water flow channel 1 one by one and in batches for use, so that the bath accessories 2 can be used for a long time. Then, in order to achieve the effect of batch feeding, in this embodiment, an elastic push plate 31 for changing the volume of the receiving cavity 3 and a material dropping port 32 communicating with the water outlet flow channel 1 are provided inside the receiving cavity 3; at least one of the bath accessories 2 is placed on the inner wall of the receiving cavity 3 and abuts against the elastic push plate 31 so that the elastic push plate 31 accumulates elastic restoring force; among the at least one bath accessory 2, the one far away from the elastic push plate 31 is aligned with the material dropping port 32;

[0036] A supporting device 33 is further provided inside the receiving cavity 3, and the supporting device 33 is linked with a driving mechanism 35 through a first linkage mechanism 34; the driving mechanism 35 drives the supporting device 33 to move between a first position and a second position;

[0037] When the supporting device 33 is in the first position, at least a part of the supporting device 33 is located between the bath accessory 2 far away from the elastic push plate 31 and the material dropping port 32; when the supporting device 33 is in the second position, the bath accessory 2 far away from the elastic push plate 31 enters the water flow channel 1 through the material dropping port 32, is mixed with the water in the water flow channel 1, and then flows out from the water outlet nozzle of the shower head; after the material dropping is completed, the supporting device 33 is reset from the second position to the first position, and the elastic restoring force of the elastic push plate 31 pushes the remaining bath accessories 2 to move towards the direction close to the supporting device 33.

[0038] With the above settings, when the supporting device 33 is in the first position, the bath accessory 2 will not fall under the lifting of the supporting device 33, so it cannot enter the water flow channel 1 through the material dropping port 32. In this way, the water in the water flow channel 1 will only wash and dissolve the bath accessory 2 originally located in the water flow channel 1. And the bath accessory 2 located in the accommodating cavity 3 remains in a dry state. When the bath accessory 2 in the water flow channel 1 is completely dissolved, the user only needs to operate the driving mechanism to drive the supporting device 33 to move to the second position, and the lifting force of the supporting device 33 can be released, so that one of the bath accessories 2 can fall from the material dropping port 32.

[0039] After one bath accessory 2 drops, the supporting device 33 returns from the second position to the first position, and the other bath accessories 2 move towards the direction close to the supporting device 33 under the action of the elastic reset force of the elastic push plate 31. In this way, another bath accessory 2 is lifted by the supporting device 33, completing a cycle.

[0040] In this embodiment, in order to prevent the water flow in the water flow channel 1 from entering the accommodating cavity 3 through the material dropping port 32 and causing the bath accessory 2 in the accommodating cavity 3 to dissolve, it further includes a baffle 36 for opening or closing the material dropping port 32; the baffle 36 is linked with the driving mechanism 35 through a second linkage mechanism 37; when the driving mechanism 35 drives the supporting device 33 to move from the first position to the second position, the driving mechanism 35 also drives the baffle 36 to move from the closed position to the open position.

[0041] After such a setting, only during the material dropping process is the material dropping port 32 open, thus well avoiding the situation of water flowing into the accommodating cavity 3.

[0042] In this embodiment, the movement of the supporting device 33 is rotation, and the movement mode of the baffle 36 is horizontal movement; in order to achieve these two movement modes, the first linkage mechanism 34 is a gear, and the second linkage mechanism 37 is a rack and pinion; the rack is arranged along the movement direction of the baffle 36.

[0043] Specifically, the supporting device 33 includes a supporting member 331 and a rocker 332 rotatably connected between the supporting member 331 and the gear; the driving mechanism 35 drives the gear to rotate to drive the supporting member 331 to rotate.

[0044] In order to achieve the supporting effect of the supporting device 33 on the bath accessory 2, the supporting member 331 has a cavity with one end open. When the supporting device 33 is in the first position, the opening faces the elastic push plate 31; when the supporting device 33 is in the second position, the opening faces the material dropping port 32. In this way, the elastic reset force of the elastic push plate 31 can be relied on to push the bath accessory 2 away from the elastic push plate 31 into the cavity. Thus, a waiting-for-material-dropping work is completed.

[0045] To drive the rotation of the gear and the rack and pinion, the drive mechanism 35 used in this embodiment is a motor; a button 4 for starting the motor is provided on the housing of the shower head. The user only needs to press the button 4, and the motor will rotate a predetermined angle according to a predetermined program to drive the movement of the baffle 36 of the supporting device 33. Of course, a manual method can also be used. The user manually rotates the gear and the rack and pinion, and the same effect can be achieved.

[0046] After the blanking is completed, the supporting device 33 and the baffle 36 need to be reset to prepare for the next blanking. If the user needs to press the button 4 again to operate the motor to reverse, it will be rather cumbersome. Therefore, in this embodiment, a sensor 38 for detecting whether there is material falling at the blanking port 32 is further included. After the sensor 38 detects that there is material falling, the motor reverses to drive the baffle 36 and the supporting device 33 to reset.

[0047] In this embodiment, the bath accessory 2 includes a spherical body and a water-soluble film wrapped around the spherical body. The bath accessory 2 can be essential oil beads, solid body wash, solid shampoo, and so on.

[0048] In addition, the water flow channel 1 includes a main flow channel 12 and a water mixing chamber 11; the water mixing chamber 11 is aligned with the blanking port 32; a part of the water in the main flow channel 12 enters the water mixing chamber 11 to be mixed with the bath accessory 2, and then re-enters the main flow channel 12 and flows out from the water outlet of the shower head.

[0049] Finally, in this embodiment, a plug 39 for opening or closing the accommodating chamber 3 is further provided at the front end of the shower head. After removing the plug 39 and the elastic baffle 31, the bath accessory 2 can be added to the accommodating chamber 3, and then the elastic baffle 31 and the plug 39 are put in. One end of the spring of the plug abuts against the fixed end of the character, and the other end of the spring abuts against the baffle to form an elastic end.

[0050] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and thus the scope of implementation of the present invention cannot be limited thereby. That is, equivalent changes and modifications made according to the scope of the present invention patent and the content of the specification should still fall within the scope covered by the present invention.
