[0023] From the above description of the present invention, it can be seen that compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. A first technical solution defines the pressing direction as the second direction and the reset direction as the first direction, with the first direction being the opposite direction of the second direction. When the rotating member is pressed, the rotating member rotates by abutting the first inclined surface with the protruding column, and simultaneously pushes the sliding member to move in the second direction. At this time, the reset member is compressed, and the second inclined surface sinks in the second direction. When pressed to a certain extent, the protruding column passes the highest point of the second inclined surface and abuts against the second inclined surface, releasing the rotating member. The reset member pushes the sliding member to reset in the first direction, and the sliding member pushes the rotating member to reset in the first direction. The sliding member causes the rotating member to continue rotating along the second inclined surface through the second inclined surface until the rotating member reaches the next stop position, thereby repeating the above-mentioned action. Since the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface are both oriented in the first direction and have the same inclination direction, the rotating member rotates in the same direction when it rotates.

[0025] Because the positions of the sliding member and the rotating member along the second direction do not change before and after pressing, compared to a ballpoint pen structure, during use, the pressing member returns to its original position only after being pressed twice. This causes the pressing member to sink into the pressing hole during the first press, resulting in an unsightly appearance, or to have an idle stroke during the next press. This structure does not cause the unsightly appearance or idle stroke problems of a ballpoint pen structure during use.

[0026] When the push button is pressed, the reset button is compressed and the switch is realized. When the push button is released, the push button returns to its original position under the action of the reset button. However, during use, due to the reaction force of the reset button during the pressing process, the user is easily misled to press the button in place, that is, the user releases the push button and the function switch is not realized, which increases the user's repeated operations. When the user uses this structure, the user can observe the rotating part, that is, when the rotating part no longer rotates when pressed, it is pressed in place, ensuring that the user can operate correctly in one time, and then when the rotating part is released, the rotating part rotates further to reach the next stop position, which makes the convex column of the rotating part suitable for cooperating with the first inclined surface for repeated operation next time, and continuing to rotate also reminds the user that the reset is normal, which is convenient for troubleshooting when the state of the main body cannot be switched. And after pressing, the switch mark position changes, indicating the rotation position change state of the rotating part relative to the main body 2, so that the user can know the current state.

[0027] 2. The second technical solution: when the rotating part is pressed, the convex column of the rotating part abuts the third inclined surface to make the sliding part move axially along the main body. If it is pressed into place, the rotating part abuts the second inclined surface. When the rotating part is released, the rotating part rotates to the next stop position and stops at the tooth groove between each first tooth portion.

[0028] If the button is not pressed into place, during the resetting process, the third inclined surface abuts the boss of the rotating part, causing the rotating part to rotate and stop at the original stop position before pressing, preventing it from failing to abut against the first inclined surface during the next use, resulting in the rotating part being unable to rotate; and since the inclination direction of the third inclined surface is opposite to the inclination direction of the second inclined surface, that is, the inclination direction of the third inclined surface is opposite to the inclination direction of the first inclined surface, the rotation directions caused by the first inclined surface and the third inclined surface are opposite. Therefore, when the user sees that the rotating part is released, the rotation of the rotating part indicates that it has not been pressed into place, so as to remind the user and reduce the time spent by the user waiting for the body state to switch.

[0029] 3. The third technical solution is that if the rotating part is pressed directly by hand, the pressing area is small and the pressure is strong, which may cause the rotating part to be difficult to rotate. By setting a pressing part to push the rotating part so that the rotating part moves along the axis, the pressure is reduced, making the rotating part easier to rotate.

[0030] 4. The fourth technical solution is that the main body is hollow and provided with a slideway, the sliding part is suitable for sliding in the slideway, the reset part is located in the slideway and acts on the main body and the sliding part. By setting the slideway, the sliding part slides more stably and is convenient for setting the reset part.

[0031] 5. The fifth technical solution is that the main body is provided with a plurality of second tooth portions, each of which is provided with a first inclined surface and a plurality of fifth inclined surfaces facing the first direction and having an inclination direction opposite to the inclination direction of the first inclined surface. Each first inclined surface is respectively connected to each fifth inclined surface, and a first clearance space is formed above the fifth inclined surface, which is arranged as a tooth portion, so that the formation of the first clearance space is simpler.

[0032] 6. The sixth technical solution is that the main body is provided with a first limit surface, and the sliding member is provided with a second limit surface that cooperates with the first limit surface, thereby preventing the sliding member from separating from the main body when being reset under the action of the reset member, ensuring the stability of the mechanism and reducing the assembly time caused by separation for the user.

[0033] 7. In the seventh technical solution, the rotating member is sleeved on the pressing member and is provided with a third limiting surface, the third limiting surface is oriented in the first direction, and the pressing member is provided with a fourth limiting surface that cooperates with the third limiting surface, so that when the pressing member is pressed, the rotating member can be pushed through the abutment of the third limiting surface and the fourth limiting surface, and the rotating member will not separate from the pressing member when it is reset under the action of the reset member.

[0034] 8. In the eighth technical solution, the reset member is a spring, which is easy to assemble.

[0035] 9. The ninth technical solution is that a pressing hole is provided on the shell, and a mark is provided around the pressing hole. A switching mark corresponding to the mark and exposed in the pressing hole is provided at the end of the rotating part away from the sliding part. When pressed, the switching mark can correspond to the mark, so that the user can know the current state corresponding to the main body.

[0036] 10. In the tenth technical solution, the housing is mounted on the main body, and the button is fixedly connected to the rotating member, so that the rotating member cannot be separated from the button. The components of the pressing assembly are not separated from each other, and there is no need for a retaining structure on the outer shell of the pressing assembly to prevent the rotating member from being separated. The pressing assembly can be self-assembled and then assembled with the housing for use, which simplifies assembly. The pressing switching member can be a pressing electronic switch that changes the state of the main body by changing the circuit state, such as emitting light or sound, or it can press a switching valve to change the state of water discharge from the main body.

[0037] 11. The eleventh technical solution is that the press-to-switch component is a press-to-switch valve. By setting the press-to-switch valve, when the rotating component is pressed, the button is driven to move to drive the action of the switching component, thereby changing the connectivity between the water inlet and the water outlet on the main body, and ultimately leading to a change in the water outlet state; the switching component can be in the form of sliding switching or rotating switching, both of which are common switching valve forms in this field, and the specific structure will not be repeated.

[0038] 12. Technical Solution 12: The main body is configured to include a water outlet, a pressure cap, and a fixed wheel to facilitate installation of the push-to-switch element. The pressure cap is screwed to the inner wall of the water outlet and abuts against the push-to-switch element, thereby limiting the push-to-switch element from escaping from the water outlet.

[0039] 13. The twelfth technical solution can change the outlet water temperature through the thermostatic valve, and each water outlet shares a thermostatic valve, which has a simple structure and convenient temperature adjustment.

[0040] 14. The fourteenth technical solution, the switching part includes a circuit board and an electrical component electrically connected to the circuit board, and a press-type electronic switch is provided on the circuit board. When the button is pressed, the press-type electronic switch is triggered to switch the connection state between the circuit board and the electrical component, and the rotating part rotates, so that the switching mark on the rotating part rotates until it points to the state mark corresponding to the state of the main body, which is convenient for users to watch.

[0065] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the state switching device includes a housing 1, a pressing component, a pressing switching valve and a temperature regulating valve 8. In this embodiment, the state switching device is a shower.

[0066] like Figure 2As shown, the housing 1 is provided with a press hole 122, and the housing 1 is provided with a number of status indicators 123 indicating the status of the body 2 around the press hole 122. In this embodiment, the housing 1 includes an upper shell 11 and a lower shell 12. The lower shell 12 is provided with a first cavity 121 with an opening at the top, and the upper shell 11 covers the opening at the top of the lower shell 12. The front side wall of the lower shell 12 is provided with a press hole 122 and a status indicator 123. The front side wall of the lower shell 12 mentioned here refers to the side of the shower head facing the human body when in use. The front side wall of the lower shell 12 is also provided with a temperature adjustment hole 124.

[0067] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the switching state component includes a body 2, a rotating member 3, a pressing member 4, a reset member 5, a sliding member 6 and a pressing switching member 7.

[0068] Among them, such as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the pressing direction is defined as the second direction, the reset direction is defined as the first direction, and the first direction is the opposite direction of the second direction; the body 2 is provided with at least two first inclined surfaces 234 facing the first direction and inclined, and a first clearance space corresponding to the first inclined surfaces 234 one-to-one; the sliding member 6 is allowed to slide back and forth relative to the body 2 along the axis extending in the first direction, and is provided with a second inclined surface 621 facing the first direction and inclined in the same direction as the first inclined surface 234, and a second clearance space corresponding to the second inclined surface 621 one-to-one, and the highest point of the second inclined surface 621 is located between the highest points of the two first inclined surfaces 234 The number of the second inclined surfaces 621 is the same as that of the first inclined surfaces 234; the second direction is opposite to the first direction; the rotating member 3 rotates relative to the body 2 around the rotation axis extending along the second direction and is suitable for repeated movement relative to the body 2 along the first direction, and its lower end is provided with at least one protrusion 32 suitable for cooperating with the first inclined surface 234 and the second inclined surface, and the protrusion 32 is suitable for moving within the first and second clearance spaces; the end surface of the rotating member 3 away from the body 2 is provided with a switching mark 312 indicating that the rotating member 3 has rotated to a certain position relative to the body 2; the reset member 5 is placed between the body 2 and the sliding member 6 along the second direction;

[0069] Initially, the boss 32 is located in the second clearance space. When the rotating member 3 is pressed, the boss 32 abuts against the first inclined surface 234 and rotates in the second clearance space (the first clearance space refers to the space that allows the boss 32 to rotate without touching the first inclined surface 234 when the boss 32 is pressed and rotates), so that the rotating member 3 rotates and pushes the sliding member 6 to move in the second direction. When the rotating member 3 is pressed into place, the boss 32 passes the highest point of the second inclined surface 621 and abuts against the second inclined surface 621, and the boss 32 enters the first clearance space.

[0070] When the rotating member 3 is released, the reset member 5 also pushes the sliding member 6 and the rotating member 3 to reset along the first direction, and the boss 32 abuts against the second inclined surface 621 and continues to rotate in the first clearance space (the first clearance space refers to the space that allows the boss 32 to rotate without touching when the reset causes the boss 32 to abut the second inclined surface 234 and rotate), so that the rotating member 3 rotates until the boss 32 is reset and higher than the second inclined surface 621 and is suitable for abutting with the next level first inclined surface 234. At this time, the position of the switching mark 312 on the rotating member 3 changes to indicate the rotation position change state of the rotating member 3 relative to the main body 2.

[0071] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the main body 2 is provided with a first limiting surface 251 , which faces the second direction. The main body 2 is further provided with a water inlet 213 and at least one water outlet 214 connected to the water inlet 213 .

[0073] like Figure 3 As shown, the water outlet 21 is provided with a pressing chamber 211, a receiving chamber 212, and the above-mentioned water inlet 213 and water outlet 214. Among them, the pressing chamber 211 and the receiving chamber 212 are arranged in sequence along the second direction, and the inner diameter of the pressing chamber 211 is larger than the inner diameter of the receiving chamber 212. An opening is provided at the end of the pressing chamber 211 away from the receiving chamber 212. The receiving chamber 212 opens to the bottom wall of the pressing chamber 211. The water inlet 213 and the water outlet 214 are provided at one end of the water outlet 21 close to the receiving chamber 212, and the water inlet 213 and the water outlet 214 are both connected to the receiving chamber 212. In this embodiment, there are three water outlets 214. The status identification 123 on the outer shell 1 corresponds to the water outlet status of the three water outlets 214 respectively.

[0074] like Figure 3 As shown, the pressure cap 22 is placed in the accommodating chamber 212 and is screwed to the inner wall of the water outlet 21. Specifically, the pressure cap 22 is annular, and its outer wall is adapted to be screwed to the inner wall of the accommodating chamber 212 near one end of the pressing chamber 211 and to abut against the pressing switching member 7 so that the pressing switching member 7 cannot be separated from the accommodating chamber 212.

[0075] like Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the fixed wheel 23 is fixedly engaged with the water outlet member 21 and seated on the bottom wall of the pressure chamber 211. A first inclined surface 234 is provided on the fixed wheel 23. The fixed wheel 23 comprises a fixed wheel body 231, a protruding ring 232, and a plurality of second teeth 233.

The second teeth 233 have a first inclined surface 234 and a fifth inclined surface connected to each other. A first clearance space is formed by the space facing forward from the fifth inclined surface, i.e., above the fifth inclined surface. The first clearance space corresponds to the number of first inclined surfaces 234. The highest point of the first inclined surface 234 corresponds to the tooth tip of the second teeth 233. The protruding ring 232 is protruding from the outer wall of the fixed wheel body 231 at the end facing away from the second teeth 233. The protruding ring 232 is provided with an annular gasket groove 234 that opens into the inner wall of the fixed wheel body 231. The protruding ring 232 is also provided with an arc-shaped opening 235, which communicates with the gasket groove 234 and opens into the outer wall of the protruding ring 232. A sliding groove 236 is also provided on the inner wall of the fixed wheel 23, extending from the bottom of the protruding ring 232 to the second tooth portion 233. The end of the sliding groove 236, closest to the protruding ring 232, penetrates the bottom wall of the protruding ring 232, while the groove wall at the other end forms a first limiting surface 251 oriented in the second direction. In this embodiment, there are three second tooth portions 233 and three sliding grooves 236, but this number is not limited to the number listed in this embodiment and can be adjusted according to actual needs. In this embodiment, the convex ring 232 is further provided with a convex hump along the radial direction, and the water outlet part 21 is provided with a rotation-stopping groove extending along the second direction and adapted to the convex hump, thereby realizing the rotation-stopping cooperation between the water outlet part 21 and the fixed wheel 23, and the assembly is simple; of course, it can also be a detachable fixed form such as snap connection, screw connection, etc., and if the problem of disassembly of the pressing switching part 7 is not considered, it can also be a non-detachable fixed form such as glue bonding.

[0076] like Figure 3 As shown, the gasket 24 is annular and is suitable for being installed into the gasket groove of the fixed wheel 23 through the arc-shaped opening 235 of the fixed wheel 23.

[0077] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 7As shown, the rotating member 3 is sleeved outside the pressing member 4 and is provided with a third limiting surface 311, wherein the third limiting surface 311 faces the first direction. The end of the rotating member 3 facing away from the sliding member 6 is provided with a switching mark 312 exposed in the pressing hole 122. The rotating member 3 includes a rotating member body 31 and at least one boss 32. In this embodiment, the number of bosses 32 is consistent with the number of first inclined surfaces 234. Even if it is damaged to only one boss 32, it can still be used, thereby increasing reliability. The rotating member body 31 is a seat body with a cavity. The cavity of the rotating member body 31 is adapted to the pressing member 4, and both ends of the cavity of the rotating member body 31 have openings. The cavity wall of the rotating member body 31 cavity is provided with a third limiting surface 311. A switching mark 312 is provided on the end face of the rotating member body 31 facing away from the fixed wheel 23. A first wall 313 is formed on the outer wall of the rotating member body 31 at the end facing away from the pressing member 4. Each protrusion 32 extends from the first wall 313 in the second direction and has the same number of first inclined surfaces 234 and second inclined surfaces 621. Each protrusion 32 has a fourth inclined surface 321 at the end facing away from the first wall 313, adapted to abut against the first inclined surface 234. This facilitates smoother rotation when mated with the first inclined surface 234. In this embodiment, the number of protrusions 32 is the same as the number of first teeth 62.

[0078] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the pressing member 4 is installed in the cavity of the rotating member body 31, and is provided with a fourth limiting surface 411 that is limited by the third limiting surface 311 of the rotating member 3. The pressing member 4 includes a pressing member body 41 and an upper cover 42. A cavity with openings at both ends is provided in the pressing member body 41, and the upper cover 42 covers the opening at the end of the pressing member body 41 away from the protruding column 32. The fourth limiting surface 411 is on the outer wall of the pressing member body 41. In this embodiment, the pressing member 4 is provided with a fourth limiting surface 411 that is limited by the third limiting surface 311, so that when the pressing member 4 is pressed, it can push the rotating member 3 through the abutment between the third limiting surface 311 and the fourth limiting surface 411, and when reset under the action of the reset member 5, the rotating member 3 will not separate from the pressing member 4 and push against the pressing member 4 to reset the pressing member 4 along the first direction. If the rotating part 3 is pressed directly by hand, the pressing area is small and the pressure is strong, which may make the rotating part 3 difficult to rotate. By setting a pressing part 4 to push the rotating part 3, the pressure is reduced, making the rotating part 3 easier to rotate.

[0079] like Figure 3 As shown, the reset member 5 is a spring located within the slideway and acting on the body 2 and the slider 6. One end of the spring faces the body 2, while the other end abuts the slider 6. In this embodiment, the spring abuts against the washer 24 of the body 2. This ensures that the reset member 5, washer 24, slider 6, and fixed wheel 23 form a single assembly, preventing any detachment.

[0080] like Figure 3 and Figure 8As shown, the slider 6 is adapted to slide within the slideway. The slider 6 is circumferentially provided with a plurality of first tooth portions 62. Each first tooth portion 62 is provided with a second inclined surface 621 and a plurality of third inclined surfaces 622 oriented in the first direction and inclined in the opposite direction to the second inclined surfaces 621. Each third inclined surface 622 is in contact with each second inclined surface 621 and adapted to abut against the rotating member 3. A second clearance space is formed by the space facing forward in the direction of the third inclined surface 622, i.e., a second clearance space is formed above the third inclined surface 622. The highest point of the second inclined surface 621 is the tooth top of the first tooth portion 62, and the highest point of the second inclined surface 621 is located between the highest points of the two first inclined surfaces 234, thereby allowing the boss 32 to pass over the second inclined surface 621 after rotation. The slider 6 also has a second limiting surface 631 that is limitedly engaged with the first limiting surface 251. Specifically, the slider 6 includes a slider body 61, a plurality of first tooth portions 62, and a slider 63. The sliding member body 61 is tubular. The first tooth portion 62 is protruding from the end face of the sliding member body 61 close to the rotating member 3. The slider 63 is adapted to the slide groove 236 on the fixed wheel 23 and is provided on the side wall of the sliding member body 61 at the end facing away from the first tooth portion 62. The end face of the slider 63 close to the first tooth portion 62 forms a second limiting surface 631. During the sliding process of the sliding member 6, since the first limiting surface 251 is provided on the main body 2 and cooperates with the second limiting surface 631 on the slider 63, the sliding member 6 can be prevented from detaching from the main body 2 when reset under the action of the reset member 5, thereby ensuring the stability of the mechanism and reducing the assembly time caused by detachment for the user. In this embodiment, the number of the first tooth portions 62 is the same as the number of the second tooth portions 233, and when the sliding member 6 is slid into the fixed wheel 23, the first tooth portions 62 and the second tooth portions 233 are staggered.

[0081] In this embodiment, if Figure 8 As shown, the sliding member 6 is provided with a third inclined surface 622. When the pressing member 4 is pressed, the rotating member 3 abuts the third inclined surface 622, causing the sliding member 6 to move axially along the body 2 until it passes the highest point of the second inclined surface 621. When the pressing member 4 is pressed into place, the rotating member 3 abuts the second inclined surface 621. When the pressing member 4 is released, the rotating member 3 rests in the tooth grooves between the first tooth portions 62.

[0082] like Figure 3 As shown, the pressing switching member 7 includes a shell (not shown in the figure), a button 71 and a switching member (not shown in the figure). The shell is installed in the main body 2. The button 71 is fixedly connected to the pressing member 4, so that the pressing member 4 cannot be separated from the button 71, and the overall parts of the pressing assembly are not separated from each other. There is no need to prevent the pressing member 4 or the rotating member from falling off through a limiting structure on the outer shell outside the pressing assembly. The pressing assembly allows it to be installed by itself and then assembled with the outer shell for use, which is simple to assemble. Specifically, the button 71 and the pressing member 4 are fixed by screws, and the upper cover 42 is used to prevent the screws from being exposed to ensure aesthetics.

[0083] like Figure 3 As shown, the button 71 is also configured to be inseparable from the shell along the first direction. When the pressing member 4 is pressed, it drives the button 71 to move in the second direction so that the button 71 triggers the action of the switching member to switch the state of the main body 2. In this embodiment, the pressing switching member 7 is a pressing switching valve. The water inlet 213 and each water outlet 214 of the main body 2 are connected to the pressing switching valve. When the pressing member 4 is pressed, it drives the button 71 to move to drive the action of the switching member, thereby changing the connection state between the water inlet 213 and the water outlet 214 on the main body 2, and ultimately causing a change in the water outlet state; the switching member can be in the form of sliding switching or rotating switching. When the switching member is actuated, the connection state between the water inlet 213 and each water outlet 214 is switched. It should be understood that in other embodiments, the press-to-switch member 7 can also be a press-to-electronic switch, which changes the state of the main body 2 by changing the circuit state, such as generating electricity or making sounds. Specifically, the switching member includes a circuit board and an electrical component electrically connected to the circuit board. A press-to-electronic switch is provided on the circuit board. The button is suitable for triggering the press-to-electronic switch when pressed so that the press-to-electronic switch switches the connection state between the circuit board and the electrical component; the press-to-electronic switch may include a first ratchet and a second ratchet that are driven by two mutually inclined surfaces and a spring that pushes the second ratchet in the direction of the first ratchet. A guide groove for guiding the first ratchet and the second ratchet is provided in the outer shell. The first ratchet slides in the guide groove and pushes the second ratchet to rotate under the action of the button so that the second ratchet cooperates with the guide groove or disengages from the guide groove and presses against the outer shell, so that the second ratchet can be docked in two positions. An electrical plate is installed on the second ratchet to achieve conduction and disconnection, thereby completing the switching of the circuit.

[0084] Of course, the relationship between the button 71 and the pressing member 4 can optionally be, in addition to being fixedly connected, a relationship of mutual abutment. That is, when pressed, the pressing member 4 moves downward in the second direction and abuts against the button 71, causing the button to actuate. When released, the pressing member 4 disengages from the button 71 and abuts against the button 71. The button 71 is also configured to be inseparable from the housing in the first direction, which is a conventional structure of the existing press-switch member 7 and will not be described in detail here.

[0085] Specifically, if Figure 3As shown, one end of the press-to-switch valve is placed in the accommodating chamber 212, and the other end extends into the press-to-switch chamber 211. The pressure cap 22 presses against the press-to-switch valve along the second direction, so that the press-to-switch valve is limited in the first direction and cannot fall out. Specifically, the housing of the press-to-switch valve is placed in the accommodating chamber 212, and the pressure cap 22 presses against the end face of the housing facing the press-to-switch chamber 211. The switching member is arranged in the housing, and one end of the button 71 extends into the housing and is connected to the switching member, and the other end extends out of the housing. The press-to-switch valve is provided with one end of the button 71 located in the press-to-switch chamber 211. The fixed wheel 23, the sliding member 6 and the reset member 5 are all sleeved on the part of the press-to-switch valve located in the press-to-switch chamber 211. The specific structure of the press-to-switch valve and the switching process of the switching member are common switching valve forms in the field, and the specific structure will not be elaborated on. The press-to-switch valve and the main body 2 are assembled through a positioning structure, so that the water inlet 213 and each water outlet 214 of the main body 2 are connected to the press-to-switch valve accordingly.

[0086] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the thermostatic valve 8 is installed in the lower shell 12, which includes a thermostatic valve body 81 and an operating handle 82. The operating end of the handle of the thermostatic valve 8 extends out of the thermostatic hole 124 of the lower shell 12 and is fixed to the operating handle 82; the thermostatic valve body 81 is provided with a water inlet and a water outlet. The water inlet of the thermostatic valve 8 is connected to an external water source, that is, it is connected to the cold water and hot water from the outside. The water outlet of the thermostatic valve 8 is connected to the water inlet 213 of the body 2. The shower adjusts the outlet water temperature of the water outlet 214 through the thermostatic valve 8, and each water outlet 214 shares a thermostatic valve 8, which has a simple structure and convenient temperature adjustment. The specific structure and temperature adjustment process of the thermostatic valve 8 are both existing technologies and will not be repeated here.

[0087] The installation process of the pressing assembly in this embodiment is as follows:

[0088] like Figures 2 to 9 As shown, first, the push-to-switch valve is installed into the accommodating chamber 212 of the main body 2, with the end of the push-to-switch valve provided with the button 71 extending from the accommodating chamber 212 into the pressing chamber 211. Next, the pressing cap 22 is placed over the push-to-switch valve and moved to a position where the accommodating chamber 212 is close to the pressing chamber 211. The pressing cap 22 is screwed onto the inner wall of the accommodating chamber 212 and presses against the push-to-switch valve, thereby securing it in place and preventing it from escaping from the water outlet 21.

[0089] Next, the slider 63 of the slider 6 is inserted into the slide groove 236 of the fixed wheel 23. The reset member 5 is then installed into the fixed wheel 23, with one end of the reset member 5 resting against the end of the slider 6 facing away from the first tooth portion 62. The washer 24 is then installed into the washer 24 groove of the fixed wheel 23, with the end of the reset member 5 facing away from the slider 6 resting against the washer 24.

[0090] Then, the fixed wheel 23 , the gasket 24 and the sliding member 6 are sleeved outside the portion of the pressing switching valve located in the pressing cavity 211 until the end of the fixed wheel 23 with the protruding ring 232 is seated on the bottom wall of the pressing cavity 211 .

[0091] Next, the pressing member body 41 is installed into the cavity of the rotating member body 31, so that the third limiting surface 311 of the rotating member body 31 abuts the fourth limiting surface 411 of the pressing member body 41. The boss 32 on the rotating member 3 is positioned between the sliding member 6 and the rotating member body 31, with the bottom end of the boss 32 resting on the bottom of the first tooth portion 62. Next, the pressing member body 41 is fixed to the button 71 that presses the switching valve with screws. Afterwards, the upper cover 42 is placed over the pressing member body 41, completing the installation.

[0092] In this embodiment, the installation process of the shower is as follows:

[0093] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, first, the pressing assembly is installed within the first cavity 121 of the lower housing 12, with the ends of the pressing member 4 and rotating member 3 facing away from the sliding member 6 exposed in the pressing hole 122 for easy pressing and observation. Next, the thermostatic valve body 81 is installed within the first cavity 121 of the lower housing 12, with the operating end of the thermostatic valve body 81 extending through the thermostatic hole 124 of the lower housing 12. Next, the operating handle 82 of the thermostatic valve 8 is secured to the operating end.

[0094] Next, connect the water inlet of the thermostatic valve 8 to the external cold and hot water sources via pipes, respectively; and connect its water outlet to the water inlet 213 of the main body 2 via pipes. Then, connect the three water outlets 214 of the main body 2 to the pipes to facilitate connection to a water outlet; the water outlet can be an overhead showerhead, hand shower, spray gun, or faucet. Next, place the upper housing 11 over the opening at the top of the lower housing 12, completing the installation.

[0095] The use process of the shower device of this embodiment is as follows:

[0096] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, initially, the boss 32 is located in the second clearance space, that is, it is parked in the tooth groove between each first tooth portion 62. When the water outlet state of the shower needs to be changed, the pressing member 4 is pressed from the pressing hole 122, driving the button 71 on the pressing valve core to move along the second direction. The movement of the button eventually causes the switching member to operate, thereby switching the communication state between the water inlet 213 of the body 2 and each water outlet 214. Figure 9The schematic diagram shows the positional changes of the pressing member 4, rotating member 3, sliding member 6, and fixed wheel 23 as the pressing member 4 changes from being pressed to being released. During the pressing process, the fourth inclined surface 321 on the boss 32 of the rotating member 3 abuts the first inclined surface 234 and rotates within the second clearance space. Simultaneously, the pressing member 4 pushes the rotating member 3 in the second direction, causing it to push the sliding member 6 in the second direction. This compresses the reset member 5, causing the second inclined surface 621 to sink in the second direction and move relative to the third inclined surface 622 toward the tooth top of the first tooth portion 62. When the pressing is in place, the bottom end of the boss 32 of the rotating member 3 is higher than the top end of the second inclined surface 621, the boss 32 passes over the highest point of the second inclined surface 621 and abuts against it, allowing the boss 32 to enter the first clearance space.

[0097] At this point, the pressing member 4 is released, and the reset member 5 releases its energy, pushing the sliding member 6 back in the first direction. The sliding member 6 pushes against the rotating member 3 to reset in the first direction, and the rotating member 3 drives the pressing member 4 back in the first direction to its initial position. During the reset process, the sliding member 6 also engages with the boss 32 on the rotating member 3 via the second inclined surface 621. The boss 32 abuts the second inclined surface 621 within the first clearance space and continues to rotate, causing the rotating member 3 to continue rotating until the rotating member 3 reaches the next rest position, i.e., the bottom of the next second clearance space, and the boss 32 is adapted to abut the next first inclined surface 234. This action can be repeated. Each press of the pressing member 4 changes the water flow state of the shower.

[0098] In the initial position, there may be a gap between the boss 32 and the first inclined surface 234 , or the boss 32 may directly contact the first inclined surface 234 , but both require that the fourth inclined surface 321 of the boss 32 cooperates with the first inclined surface 234 to achieve rotation when descending.

[0099] Since the housing 1 is provided with a status mark 123 around the pressing hole 122, when the pressing member 4 is pressed and released, the switching mark 312 on the rotating member 3 rotates until it points to the status mark 123 corresponding to the status of the main body 2, and the user can clearly know the current status corresponding to the main body 2.

[0100] In this embodiment, since the first inclined surface 234 and the second inclined surface 621 are both oriented in the first direction and have the same inclination direction, the rotating member 3 rotates in the same direction when rotating. Since the positions of the pressing member 4, the sliding member 6, and the rotating member 3 do not change in the second direction before and after pressing, the user does not experience problems such as an unsightly ballpoint pen structure or a lack of travel when the pen is pressed next time. Moreover, the user can observe the rotating member 3 during use, that is, when the rotating member 3 stops rotating when pressed, it is pressed into place, ensuring that the user can operate correctly the first time. When the pressing member 4 is released, the rotating member 3 rotates further to reach the next rest position. This rest position allows the rotating member 3 to cooperate with the first inclined surface 234, allowing for repeatable operation next time. Continuing to rotate also reminds the user that the reset is normal, which facilitates troubleshooting when the state of the body 2 cannot be switched.

[0101] When the user presses the pressing member 4, if the pressing is not done in place, during the resetting process, the third inclined surface 622 abuts against the boss 32 of the rotating member 3, causing the rotating member 3 to rotate and stop at the original stop position before pressing, preventing it from failing to abut against the first inclined surface 234 during the next use, resulting in the rotating member 3 being unable to rotate; and, since the inclination direction of the third inclined surface 622 is opposite to the inclination direction of the second inclined surface 621, that is, the inclination direction of the third inclined surface 622 is opposite to the inclination direction of the first inclined surface 234, the rotation directions caused by the first inclined surface 234 and the third inclined surface 622 are opposite. Therefore, when the user sees that the pressing member 4 is released, the rotating member 3 rotates, which means that it is not pressed in place, so as to remind the user and reduce the time spent by the user waiting for the state of the main body 2 to switch.

[0102] In optional occasions, if the structure is more compact, when the rotating member 3 is reset, it may hit the fixed wheel 23 when it continues to rotate due to the action of the second inclined surface 621. The fifth inclined surface can be used as a clearance for the rotating member 3 to continue rotating, thereby preventing collisions that may easily occur when the vertical wall is in use.

[0103] When the shower is discharging water, the temperature can be adjusted by adjusting the operating handle 82 of the temperature control valve 8.

[0104] In another embodiment, when there is no pressing member 4, the button 71 can be directly fixed to the rotating member 3. At this time, the button 71 needs to be configured to be suitable for rotation relative to the shell, and the pressing process of the rotating member 3 through the pressing member 4 will be directly replaced by the pressing process of the rotating member 3.

[0105] The above description and embodiments are intended to explain the scope of protection of the present invention, but do not constitute a limitation thereto. Modifications, equivalent substitutions, or other improvements to the embodiments of the present invention or portions thereof that can be obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation based on the teachings of the present invention or the above embodiments, combined with common knowledge, ordinary technical knowledge in the field, and / or prior art, should all be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
