Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a bathroom product, and more particularly to a shower device. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional showerheads and showerheads with electronic components typically have one button for switching water flow and another for switching circuitry. This greatly limits the design and ease of use. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The main technical problem to be solved by this invention is to provide a structure that controls water circuit switching and circuit opening and closing with a single button. A single button can control both water circuit switching and circuit opening and closing, thus eliminating the disadvantages of traditional shower heads such as cumbersome operation and limited appearance.

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a structure for single-button control of water path switching and circuit opening / closing, comprising: an operating component, a transmission component, a water path switching component, and a circuit control module; the operating component drives the water path switching component to rotate via the transmission component to switch water paths, and the water path switching component drives the circuit control module during the water path switching process.

[0032] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper," "lower," "inner," "outer," "top / bottom," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing the invention and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the invention. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0034] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "equipped", "sleeved / connected", "connected", etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0035] refer to Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides a shower head, which includes a shower head body 1, a shower head body 1 having a shower head water channel and a micro-current water channel, and a main control board for generating micro-current.

[0036] The shower body 1 is also equipped with a single-button control structure for water circuit switching and circuit opening and closing. The water circuit can be switched from ordinary shower water to micro-current water through a single operating component, and at the same time, the main control board can be controlled to generate micro-current.

[0037] The aforementioned single-button control structure for water path switching and circuit opening / closing specifically includes: an operating component 21, a transmission component 22, a water path switching component 23, and the circuit control module. In this embodiment, the circuit control module is an electronic switch 24; the water path switching component 23 is provided with a pressing block 231 that cooperates with the electronic switch 24; the operating component 21 drives the water path switching component 23 to rotate via the transmission component 22 to switch the water path, and during the water path switching process, the pressing block 231 of the water path switching component 23 abuts against or separates from the electronic switch 24 to drive the electronic switch 24 to open or close.

[0038] The water path switching component 23 in this embodiment includes a ratchet 232 and a water distribution turntable 233 that are linked together, as well as a pawl 234 that is linked to the transmission component 22; the ratchet 232 drives the water distribution turntable 233 to rotate so that the water passage hole of the water distribution turntable 233 is connected to different water outlets.

[0039] In this embodiment, the linkage between the pressure block 231 and the water channel switching component 23 is such that the pressure block 231 rotates along with the water distribution turntable 233. Therefore, the pressure block 231 is disposed along the axial direction of the ratchet 232 on the upper or lower surface of the ratchet 232 and rotates in linkage with the ratchet 232. Thus, when the ratchet 232 rotates, the pressure block 231 and the water distribution turntable 233 will rotate synchronously with the rotation of the ratchet 232. Specifically, the pressure block 231, the water distribution turntable 233, and the ratchet 232 are connected by a linkage shaft 25.

[0040] Since the water-dividing turntable 233 will rotate continuously in one direction as the operating component 21 is operated, in order to ensure that pressing the operating component 21 twice can complete the opening and closing of the electronic switch 24, the pressing block 231 needs to be multiple and symmetrically distributed along the axis of the ratchet 232.

[0041] In this embodiment, the operating component 21 is a button, and the transmission component 22 includes a swing component 221 and a sliding component 222. The two ends of the swing component 221 abut against the button and the sliding component 222 respectively, and the swing shaft of the swing component 221 is located between the two ends of the swing component. The end of the sliding component 222 away from the swing component 221 is connected to a pawl 234 to drive the pawl 234 to engage or disengage from the ratchet teeth of the ratchet wheel 232. When the pawl 234 disengages from the ratchet teeth of the ratchet wheel 232, the ratchet wheel 232 rotates one ratchet tooth, driving the water distribution disc 233 and the pressure block 231 to rotate. Then, the pawl 234 resets and engages with the next ratchet tooth of the ratchet wheel 232, the ratchet wheel 232 stops rotating, the water distribution disc 233 stops at a position connected to the shower head water channel or the micro-current water channel, and the pressure block 231 also stops at the position where the electronic switch 24 is disengaged or pressed.

[0042] Example 2

[0043] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the pressing block 231 is disposed on the pawl 234 and swings in conjunction with the pawl 234. In this embodiment, the pressing block 231 changes from rotation to swinging instead of rotation.

[0044] When the operating member 21 moves the pawl 234, it causes the pressure block 231 to swing, thereby triggering the electronic switch 24. Since the pawl 234 is always engaged with the ratchet 232 when the operating member 21 is not operated, and its position only changes during operation of the operating member 21, it cannot maintain a constant pressure on the electronic switch 24. Therefore, in this embodiment, the electronic switch 24 is a self-locking switch. The switch state can be switched as long as the electronic switch 24 is touched, without requiring continuous pressure on the electronic switch 24.

[0045] The rest is the same as in Example 1, and will not be described again.

[0046] Example 3

[0047] refer to Figures 7-9 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the operating component 21 directly drives the pressure block 26 to swing through the transmission component 22 to drive the electronic switch 24 to open or close, while the pressure block 26 drives the water circuit switching component 23 to rotate during the swinging process to switch the water circuit.

[0048] To achieve the swinging of the pressure block 26, a groove 261 is provided in the radial direction of the swinging arc of the pressure block 26, and the operating member 21 is a push-torque; one end of the transmission member 22 is slidably connected to the groove 261, and the other end is connected to the push-torque along the moving direction of the push-torque. When the push-torque is pushed, one end of the transmission member 22 slides in the groove 261, thereby driving the pressure block 26 to swing.

[0049] In order to enable the pressure block 26 to drive the water circuit switching device to swing together, the water circuit switching device includes a water distribution turntable 233, which is fixedly connected to the pressure block 26. The pressure block 26 drives the water distribution turntable to rotate so that the water passage hole of the water distribution turntable 233 is connected to different water outlets.

[0050] In this embodiment, the pressing block 26 is fixedly connected to the water distribution turntable 233 by screws 235.

[0051] Example 4

[0052] refer to Figure 10 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that there are two electronic switches 24. This allows the pressing block 231 to contact one of the electronic switches 24 while separating from the other electronic switch 24, thus achieving the purpose of turning on one circuit and turning off the other circuit, thereby realizing the switching of electronic functions.

[0053] Example 5

[0054] refer to Figure 11 The circuit control module consists of a positive conductive post 27 and a negative conductive post 28; the structure of the water circuit switching component is the same as in Embodiment 1. When the ratchet 232 rotates, one of the pressing blocks 231 is connected to the positive conductive post 27, and the other pressing block 231 is connected to the negative conductive post 27. Therefore, as long as the ratchet is made of a conductive material, the positive conductive post 27 and the negative conductive post 28 can be electrically connected or disconnected when the ratchet 231 rotates, thereby realizing the opening or closing of the electronic function.

[0055] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention; however, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and its improved concepts, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
