[0046] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention with reference to Figures 1 to 5. This description is not intended to limit the embodiment of the present invention, but is an example of the present invention.

[0047] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 5 , a rechargeable electrolytic ozone shower head 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a shower head component 1 , a handle component 2 , and an electrolytic component 3 .

[0048] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 , the shower component 1 has a water tank space 11 therein. The shower component 1 is provided with a water outlet 12 at the front side. The water outlet 12 has a plurality of water outlet holes 121 communicating with the water tank space 11 .

[0049] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the head end of the handle member 2 is connected to the shower head member 1, and together with the shower head member 1, a shower head body is formed. The tail end of the handle member 2 is provided with a water pipe connecting portion 21 for connecting to a water supply pipe H (shown in Figure 5). A water flow channel 20 is formed between the head end and the tail end of the handle member 2. The water outlet end of the water flow channel 20 located at the head end of the handle member 2 is connected to the water tank space 11, and the water inlet end of the water flow channel 20 located at the tail end of the handle member 2 is provided so as to be connected to the water pipe H when the water pipe connecting portion 21 is connected to the water pipe H.

[0050] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the electrolysis component 3 includes an electrode sheet group 31, a low-voltage electrolysis circuit 32, a rechargeable battery unit 33, and a charging port 34. The electrode sheet group 31 is arranged in the water flow channel 20 of the handle member 2, and the low-voltage electrolysis circuit 32 is arranged in the shower head body and coupled to the electrode sheet group 31 and the rechargeable battery unit 33. The low-voltage electrolysis circuit 32 is configured to perform low-voltage discharge in the water flow channel 20 through the electrode sheet group 31 by means of the low-voltage current provided by the rechargeable battery unit 33 when started, so as to catalyze ozone by electrolysis in water. The rechargeable battery unit 33 is arranged in the shower head body, and the charging port 34 is arranged on the shower head body and coupled to the rechargeable battery unit 33 so as to charge the rechargeable battery unit 33 from the outside via the charging port 34.

[0051] As shown in Figures 1 to 5, in the rechargeable electrolytic ozone showerhead 100, by connecting the handle member 2 to the water pipe H and activating the low-voltage electrolysis circuit 32, water W supplied from the water pipe H, when flowing through the water flow channel 20, reacts with the ozone generated by low-pressure electrolysis to form ozone water Wo. The ozone water is then discharged from the plurality of water outlets 121 of the shower member 1 through the water tank space 11.

[0052] Specifically, by connecting the rechargeable electrolytic ozone showerhead 100 to the water pipe H, water from the water pipe H flows from the water inlet at the rear end of the handle member 2 into the water flow channel 20, passes through the electrode assembly 31, and then flows to the outlet end of the water flow channel 20. As it flows through the electrode assembly 31, the water in the water flow channel 20 is subjected to low-pressure electrolysis by the electrode assembly 31, stripping oxygen atoms from the water and polymerizing them into ozone molecules. These molecules then combine with water to form ozone water. The ozone water then flows through the outlet end of the water flow channel 20 into the water tank 11 of the shower head member 1. Pressure within the water tank 11 causes the water to be ejected from the outlet hole 121 of the outlet portion 12, allowing it to be used for showering or various cleaning purposes.

[0053] Preferably, as shown in Figures 2 and 3 , in the rechargeable electrolytic ozone showerhead 100 of the present embodiment, the showerhead 1 further comprises a battery storage space 13 located behind and isolated from the water tank 11. The rechargeable battery unit 33 is housed in this battery storage space 13. By designating the battery storage space 13 within the showerhead 1 rather than the handle 2, the increase in thickness or length of the handle 2 to accommodate the rechargeable battery unit 33 is avoided, thereby maintaining the original shape and size of a typical showerhead. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this. In this embodiment, the rechargeable battery unit 33 utilizes the mature and stable 18650 lithium-ion battery (commonly known as a 18650 battery). To accommodate the dimensions of the 18650 battery (a cylindrical battery with a diameter of 18 mm and a length of 65 mm), the battery storage space 13 is designed within the showerhead 1. Therefore, when the rechargeable battery unit 33 uses rechargeable batteries of other sizes, the battery accommodating space 13 can also be changed in position as needed to obtain a more compact space configuration and / or a more streamlined circuit layout.

[0054] Preferably, as shown in FIG3 , in the rechargeable electrolytic ozone showerhead 100 of an embodiment of the present invention, the shower head 1 is further provided with a connecting pipe 14. This connecting pipe 14 extends from the outlet end of the water flow channel 20 through the battery storage space 13 and into the water tank space 11, connecting the outlet end of the water flow channel 20 with the water tank space 11 via the connecting pipe 14. The provision of the connecting pipe 14 allows the water flow channel 20 and the water tank space 11 to communicate even across the battery storage space 13, thereby freeing the battery storage space 13 from being restricted and allowing for a larger design. Furthermore, this structural configuration prevents the water flow channel 20 and the water tank space 11 from intersecting at the interface between the shower head 1 and the handle 2, thereby avoiding structural fragility caused by stress concentration points falling at the same location and reducing the risk of internal leakage affecting the circuitry of the electrolytic component 3.

[0055] Preferably, as shown in Figures 2 and 3 , in the rechargeable electrolytic ozone showerhead 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the electrolysis component 3 further includes a flow meter 35. The flow meter 35 is disposed in the water flow channel 20 downstream of the electrode assembly 31 (i.e., above the electrode assembly 31 in the water flow channel 20 in the figures). The flow meter 35 is used to detect the water flow rate through the water flow channel 20. The low-voltage electrolysis circuit 32 is coupled to the flow meter 35 and is configured to be triggered to activate low-pressure electrolysis when the water flow rate detected by the flow meter 35 through the water flow channel 20 exceeds a set water flow rate. With the provision of the flow meter 35, the low-voltage electrolysis circuit 32 can begin low-pressure electrolysis to produce ozone water as soon as water flows through the water flow channel 20, eliminating the need for manual on / off switching. Preferably, the electrolysis component 3 further includes an external manual switch 36 disposed on the showerhead body and coupled to the low-voltage electrolysis circuit 32. Thus, when it is desired that the rechargeable electrolysis ozone showerhead 100 output tap water instead of ozone water, the power to the low-voltage electrolysis circuit 32 can be turned off by using the external manual switch 36.

[0056] As shown in Figures 2 to 4, in the rechargeable electrolytic ozone shower head 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, the electrode sheet group 31 includes a plurality of positive electrode sheets 31a and a plurality of negative electrode sheets 31b, which are alternately arranged along the longitudinal direction of the water flow channel 20. Each of the positive electrode sheets 31a is longitudinally perforated with a plurality of positive longitudinal perforations 311, and each of the negative electrode sheets 31b is longitudinally perforated with a plurality of negative longitudinal perforations 312, so that water in the water flow channel 20 can flow longitudinally through the electrode sheet group 31 along the longitudinal direction of the water flow channel 20 via the positive longitudinal perforations 311 and the negative longitudinal perforations 312.

[0057] In this embodiment, the positive electrode sheet 31a is a titanium metal electrode sheet, and the negative electrode sheet 31b is a stainless steel electrode sheet. The surface of the titanium metal electrode sheet is burned with a coating composed of a mixture of multiple rare metals to effectively catalyze more ozone during low-voltage electrolysis. By using the titanium metal electrode sheet and the stainless steel electrode sheet as the positive electrode sheet 31a and the negative electrode sheet 31b, when water passes through the electrode sheet group 31, the hydrogen in the water molecules will be stripped off to form hydrogen ions, which will then form hydrogen molecules that float in the air. On the other hand, the oxygen in the water molecules will also be stripped off and polymerized into ozone molecules in the water, thereby obtaining ozone water. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this, and the positive electrode sheet 31a and the negative electrode sheet 31b can also be made of other suitable materials.

[0058] Preferably, as shown in FIG. 4 , in the rechargeable electrolytic ozone shower head 100 of an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of the positive electrode longitudinal perforations 311 and a plurality of the negative electrode longitudinal perforations 312 do not correspond to each other in the longitudinal direction of the water flow channel 20 , so as to increase the path length of the water in the water flow channel 20 flowing through the electrode sheet group 31 .

[0059] Preferably, as shown in FIG. 4 , in the rechargeable electrolytic ozone shower head 100 of an embodiment of the present invention, the number and aperture size of the plurality of positive electrode longitudinal through holes 311 are different from the number and aperture size of the plurality of negative electrode longitudinal through holes 312 to more efficiently perform low-voltage electrolysis.

[0060] Preferably, as shown in Figures 2 and 3 , in the rechargeable electrolytic ozone showerhead 100 of the present embodiment, the charging port 34 is a USB Type-C port, eliminating the problem of mis-connection. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this, and the charging port 34 may also be a charging port of other specifications. Furthermore, a waterproof cover 341 is preferably provided on the outside of the charging port 34 to effectively prevent water intrusion and enhance the waterproof effect.

[0061] Preferably, as shown in Figures 2 and 3 , the rechargeable electrolytic ozone showerhead 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes a chlorine and debris removal filter 4 disposed in the water flow channel 20 upstream of the electrode sheet assembly 31 (i.e., below the electrode sheet assembly 31 in the water flow channel 20 in the figures) to filter the water supplied to the rechargeable electrolytic ozone showerhead 100. Specifically, in this embodiment, the chlorine and debris removal filter 4 comprises calcium sulfite particles wrapped in PP filter cotton. This filter removes chlorine and debris from the water, effectively preventing the subsequent generation of harmful substances (e.g., chlorine gas and sodium hypochlorite) during electrolysis and extending the lifespan of the electrolytic sheet assembly.

[0062] Through the above-described structure, the rechargeable electrolytic ozone showerhead 100 of the present invention integrates the entire ozone water generation mechanism within the showerhead, maintaining the showerhead's original shape, size, and functionality without taking up any additional space. Simply connecting a water line allows for immediate use, making it extremely convenient to carry and use. Furthermore, the rechargeable electrolytic ozone showerhead 100 of the present invention generates ozone water directly in water through low-voltage electrolysis, eliminating the risk of nitrogen compounds being generated from nitrogen in the air. Furthermore, it does not require an external power source for high-voltage electricity, operating solely on internal battery power, thus eliminating the hassle and inconvenience of wiring in bathrooms and other locations. Consequently, the rechargeable electrolytic ozone showerhead 100 of the present invention eliminates the health risks associated with nitrogen compounds and is easily portable and removable, allowing users to safely and conveniently clean and disinfect the showerhead at home, while traveling, or outdoors.

[0063] The above description and explanation are only for the preferred embodiments of the present invention. Any person skilled in the art may make other modifications within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention and the above description. Such modifications shall still be within the spirit of the present invention and within the scope of protection of the present invention.
