Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a shower column structure and a shower device. Background Art

[0002] In the bathroom industry, due to structural limitations, existing shower columns leave a large amount of water in the shower pipe after the faucet is turned off. After being left for a period of time, the water will turn into cold water. When the shower column is used next time, combined with the cold water in the pipe at the front end of the faucet, it will cause cold water to flow out for a long time. Especially in winter, when the overhead shower head defaults to cold water, it will cause a very poor shower experience when the water just turns on and splashes on people.

[0003] Alternatively, although there are residual water draining devices for the shower column, these residual water draining devices all need to be completed manually. If you forget to drain the residual water manually, it will also cause a bad shower experience. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention provides a shower column structure, which overcomes the shortcomings of the background technology. One of the technical solutions adopted by the present invention to solve the technical problem is:

[0005] A shower column structure comprises a shower column body, a movable sealing assembly and an elastic member, wherein a water inlet channel, a water outlet channel and a drain outlet are arranged in the shower column body, wherein the movable sealing assembly is movably mounted in the shower column body and moves between a first position for sealing the water inlet channel and a second position for sealing the drain outlet, wherein the elastic member is sandwiched between the movable sealing assembly and the shower column body, wherein when water flows into the water inlet channel, the movable sealing assembly moves to the second position under the action of the water inlet pressure, and when water does not flow into the water inlet channel, the movable sealing assembly moves to the first position under the action of the elastic member.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment: it also includes a fixed seat, which is fixedly connected to the shower column body, and the bottom end of the fixed seat is provided with a fixed seat inlet connected to the water inlet channel, the side wall of the fixed seat is provided with a fixed seat outlet connected to the water outlet channel and a fixed seat outlet connected to the drain outlet, the fixed seat is also provided with a movable cavity extending along the water inlet direction, the movable sealing component is movably mounted in the movable cavity, and the two ends of the elastic member are respectively against the movable sealing component and the movable cavity wall.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment: the movable chamber is provided with a first sealing port connected to the inlet of the fixed seat and a second sealing port connected to the exhaust port of the fixed seat, the movable sealing assembly includes a piston rod and a sealing gasket fixed to the piston rod, and the movement of the piston rod drives the sealing gasket to move between the first sealing port and the second sealing port.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment: a joint and a nut connected to the joint are provided at the bottom end of the shower column, and the water inlet channel is formed in the joint and the nut.

[0009] The second technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is:

[0010] A shower device, which applies the shower column structure.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment: the shower device includes a faucet, a shower column and a top spray, the bottom end of the shower column is connected to the faucet, and the top end of the shower column is connected to the top spray.

[0012] Compared with the background technology, this technical solution has the following advantages:

[0013] When water is flowing into the water inlet channel, the movable sealing component can automatically move to the second position under the action of the water inlet pressure, at which time the water inlet channel is connected with the water outlet channel, the drain port is closed, and the water outlet function is realized; and when water is not flowing out of the water inlet channel, the movable sealing component can automatically move to the first position under the action of the elastic member, at which time the residual water in the water outlet channel can be discharged from the drain port, and when the shower column is used again, hot water can be discharged without waiting, and the user experience is good. At the same time, the residual water is drained automatically, and there is no need to manually drain the residual water, which avoids the situation of forgetting to drain the residual water manually, and is more convenient to use.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 2 to 5 A preferred embodiment of a shower column structure comprises a shower column body 10, a movable sealing assembly 20 and an elastic member 30.

[0025] The shower column 10 is provided with a water inlet channel 11 , a water outlet channel 12 and a water drain port 13 .

[0026] In this embodiment, the shower column structure further includes a fixing seat 40, which is fixedly connected to the shower column body 10. The bottom end of the fixing seat 40 is provided with a fixing seat inlet 41 connected to the water inlet channel 11, and the side wall of the fixing seat 40 is provided with a fixing seat outlet 42 connected to the water outlet channel 12 and a fixing seat outlet 43 connected to the drain port 13. The fixing seat 40 is also provided with an active cavity 44 extending along the water inlet direction. In addition, the active cavity 44 is provided with a first sealing port 441 connected to the fixing seat inlet 41 and a second sealing port 442 connected to the fixing seat outlet 43. Figure 4 As shown, there is a gap 443 between the right side of the fixing seat 40 and the inner wall of the shower column 10, the fixing seat outlet 42 is provided on the right side of the fixing seat 40, and the fixing seat outlet 43 is provided on the left side of the fixing seat 40. Moreover, the first sealing opening 441 and the second sealing opening 442 are arranged opposite to each other up and down, and the fixing seat outlet 42 is located between the first sealing opening 441 and the second sealing opening 442.

[0027] The movable sealing assembly 20 is movably mounted in the shower column 10 and moves between a first position for sealing the water inlet channel 11 and a second position for sealing the drain outlet 13. The elastic member 30 is sandwiched between the movable sealing assembly 20 and the shower column 10. When water flows into the water inlet channel 11, the movable sealing assembly 20 moves to the second position under the action of the water inlet pressure. When water does not flow into the water inlet channel 11, the movable sealing assembly 20 moves to the first position under the action of the elastic member 30.

[0028] In this embodiment, the movable sealing assembly 20 is movably mounted in the movable cavity 44 , and two ends of the elastic member 30 abut against the movable sealing assembly 20 and the wall of the movable cavity 44 respectively.

[0029] Specifically, the movable sealing assembly 20 includes a piston rod 21 and a sealing gasket 22 fixed to the piston rod 21. The piston rod 21 moves to drive the sealing gasket 22 to move between the first sealing opening 441 and the second sealing opening 442. Figure 4 As shown, an annular retaining groove 23 is provided on the outer periphery of the bottom end of the piston rod 21 , and the sealing gasket 22 is retained in the retaining groove 23 .

[0030] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the connection with the faucet of the shower device, a joint 50 and a nut 51 connected to the joint 50 are provided at the bottom of the shower column 10, and the water inlet channel 11 is formed in the joint 50 and the nut 51. Specifically, an external thread is provided at the top of the joint 50, and an internal thread is provided at the inlet 41 of the fixing seat, and the joint 50 and the shower column 10 are fixed by screwing the internal and external threads. In addition, a limit block 52 is provided at the bottom of the joint 50, and a limit step 53 is provided on the inner wall of the nut 51, and the limit block 52 is pressed against the limit step 53 to fix the nut 51. A sealing ring is also provided between the joint 50 and the fixing seat 40.

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, when water enters the water inlet channel 11, the water pressure overcomes the elastic force of the elastic member 30 to drive the piston rod 21 to move upward until the sealing gasket 22 seals the second sealing port 442. At this time, the movable sealing assembly 20 remains in this position and does not move. The water in the water inlet channel 11 passes through the first sealing port 441 and the fixed seat outlet 42 and then enters the water outlet channel 12 for discharge.

[0032] like Figure 5 As shown, when water does not enter the water inlet channel 11, there is no water inlet pressure in the water inlet channel 11. At this time, the piston rod 21 can move downward under the action of the elastic member 30 until the sealing gasket 22 seals the first sealing port 441. At this time, the movable sealing assembly 20 remains in this position and does not move. The residual water in the water outlet channel 12 flows out from the drain port 13 after passing through the fixed seat outlet 42, the second sealing port 442, and the fixed seat outlet 43.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 , is a preferred embodiment of a shower device, which uses the shower column structure.

[0034] In this embodiment, the shower device includes a faucet 1, a shower column and a top shower 2, wherein the bottom end of the shower column is connected to the faucet 1, and the top end of the shower column is connected to the top shower 2. Specifically, the shower column body 10 is screwed with the faucet 1 through a nut 51 at its bottom end, and the top end of the shower column body 10 is also fixed to the top shower 2 through a threaded connection.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and therefore cannot be used to limit the scope of the present invention. That is, equivalent changes and modifications made according to the patent scope of the present invention and the contents of the specification should still fall within the scope of the present invention.
