[0046] In view of the problem in the related art that the steps of adjusting and the operation are complicated when the water outlet of the massage head and the shower need to be adjusted, the present application switches the water outlet channel by rotating the adjusting piece, and adjusts the position of the massage head by rotating the adjusting piece, so as to realize the adjustment of the water outlet of the shower and the massage head by the adjusting piece, reduce the adjustment difficulty, and facilitate the use of the shower.

[0047] The shower of the embodiment of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, Figure 3 , Figure 5 andFigure 7 The water flow path is shown by a solid arrow and a dotted line, respectively.

[0048] With reference to Figures 1 to 5 According to the shower 10 of the embodiment of the present application, the main body 100 is provided with a water inlet channel 110 and a receiving groove 120, the water inlet channel 110 is communicated with the receiving groove 120, and the water inlet channel 110 is used to communicate with an external water source to guide water into the interior of the shower 10. The adjusting member 200 is rotationally connected to the main body 100, and the adjusting member 200 can be rotated to a first position and a second position relative to the main body 100. The adjusting member 200 covers the receiving groove 120, and a water passing cavity 190 is defined between the adjusting member 200 and the receiving groove 120. The adjusting member 200 is provided with a first flow channel 210 and a second flow channel 220, the first flow channel 210 and the second flow channel 220 are respectively communicated with the water passing cavity 190 and an external space, and the first flow channel 210 and the second flow channel 220 are respectively used for water outlet of the shower 10. The minimum inner diameter of the first flow channel 210 is greater than that of the second flow channel 220, so that the water outlet capacity of the first flow channel 210 is greater than that of the second flow channel 220. The massage head 300 is provided with a massage part 310 and a connecting part 320, the massage part 310 and the connecting part 320 are respectively located on opposite sides of the massage head 300, the connecting part 320 is connected with the adjusting member 200, and the adjusting member 200 can drive the massage head 300 to move.

[0049] Wherein, with reference to Figures 1 to 3 When the adjusting member 200 is rotated to a state located at the first position, the first flow channel 210 is communicated with the water inlet channel 110, and the massage part 310 is located on a side of the outer end face 203 facing the water passing cavity 190. With reference to Figure 4 and Figure 5 When the adjusting member 200 is rotated to a state located at the second position, the second flow channel 220 is communicated with the water inlet channel 110, and the massage part 310 protrudes from a side of the outer end face 203 away from the water passing cavity 190. Through rotation of the adjusting member 200, adjustment of the water flow size and switching of the use state of the massage head 300 can be realized, so that the shower 10 has a large water outlet for showering, the massage head 300 is in a hidden state and shrunk in the shower 10, the probability of damage of the massage head 300 is reduced, and the aesthetic degree of the shower 10 is improved; when the massage head 300 is in a use state and protrudes from the shower 10, the shower 10 has a small water outlet to assist use of a bathing product, the probability of the bathing product being directly washed away is reduced, and a scrubbing massage can be performed through the massage head 300. The shower 10 of the embodiment of the present application reduces the steps of adjusting the use state of the massage head 300 and the water outlet size of the shower 10, reduces the adjustment difficulty, and facilitates use of the shower 10.

[0050] Specifically, the massage portion 310 has at least a movement relative to the adjusting member 200 in a direction of approaching or moving away from the water cavity 190. During the movement of the adjusting member 200 from the first position to the second position, the massage head 300 moves in a direction of moving away from the water cavity 190 relative to the adjusting member 200, and the massage portion 310 gradually protrudes from the side of the outer end surface 203 away from the water cavity 190. Conversely, during the movement of the adjusting member 200 from the second position to the first position, the massage head 300 moves in a direction of approaching the water cavity 190 relative to the adjusting member 200, the massage portion 310 gradually retracts into the shower 10, and finally locates at the side of the outer end surface 203 facing the water cavity 190.

[0051] It can be understood that the smaller the inner diameter of the flow channel, the greater the resistance of water flow, and the smaller the flow rate. Therefore, the flow rate of water flow can be controlled by controlling the minimum inner diameter of the flow channel. Further, by controlling the size of the minimum inner diameter of the second flow channel 220, the water outlet of the shower 10 can be realized in a dripping state when the adjusting member 200 is rotated to the second position.

[0052] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 , the first flow channel 210 and the second flow channel 220 can be continuous through holes (not shown in the figure) provided on the adjusting member 200, as long as the first flow channel 210 and the second flow channel 220 are separated from each other, and one end can communicate with the water inlet channel 110, and the other end can communicate with the outside.

[0053] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the adjusting member 200 is provided with a receiving cavity 240, at least a part of the massage head 300 is located in the receiving cavity 240, the second flow channel 220 includes a first hole 221 and a second hole 222, the first hole 221 communicates the receiving groove 120 and the receiving cavity 240, and the second hole 222 communicates the receiving cavity 240 and the outside space. By communicating the second flow channel 220 and the receiving cavity 240, the first hole 221 can communicate with the water inlet channel 110 when the adjusting member 200 is in the second position, the massage head 300 extends out of the shower 10, and the water outlet position of the shower 10 corresponds to the position of the massage head 300, so as to facilitate the use of bath products while being wetted by a small amount of water. Further, the massage portion 310 corresponds to the second hole 222 in the extension direction of the second hole 222, so that the water outlet of the shower 10 and the extension of the massage portion 310 share the same hole position, so as to further improve the cooperation between the massage portion 310 and the water outlet, and further improve the use effect. Referring to Figure 13 , a plurality of water passing holes 340 can be provided on the massage head 300 to facilitate the water flowing out of the second hole 222. Referring to Figure 13The middle part of the massage head 300 is provided with a position avoiding hole 350 to facilitate the connection of the rotating shaft 180 and the rotating hole 295.

[0054] In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the adjusting member 200 is further provided with a water storage cavity 270, which is separately arranged from the accommodating cavity 240. The accommodating cavity 240 is located in the middle part of the accommodating groove 120, and the water storage cavity 270 is arranged on the circumferential outer side of the accommodating cavity 240. The water storage cavity 270 can serve as a buffer for water, so that the water flow of the shower head 10 is more uniform. The accommodating cavity 240 is located in the middle part of the accommodating groove 120, which can facilitate the installation of the massage head 300, and the massage part 310 is located in the middle part of the accommodating groove 120 to concentrate the massage position and ensure the massage effect. In some embodiments, the first flow channel 210 and the second flow channel 220 are both communicated with the water storage cavity 270. In other embodiments, the first flow channel 210 is communicated with the water storage cavity 270, and the second flow channel 220 is communicated with the accommodating cavity 240.

[0055] Specifically, with reference to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 8 , in the embodiment that the first flow channel 210 is communicated with the water storage cavity 270, the first flow channel 210 is defined by a third hole 211, a fourth hole 212 and a fifth hole 213 arranged on the adjusting member 200. The adjusting member 200 is further provided with an annular groove 290 communicated with the accommodating groove 120. The annular groove 290 is arranged around the third hole 211, the third hole 211 extends along the radial direction of the rotating center axis of the adjusting member 200 and is communicated with the annular groove 290, the fourth hole 212 is located in the annular groove 290, the fourth hole 212 is communicated with the accommodating groove 120 and the water storage cavity 270, and the fifth hole 213 is communicated with the water storage cavity 270 and the outside. The first flow channel 210 is communicated with the water storage cavity 270, which can ensure that when the adjusting member 200 is located at the first position and the shower head 10 is in the showering state, the shower water has sufficient spraying area. The first hole 221 and the third hole 211 are arranged in the interval along the rotating direction of the adjusting member 200 from the first position to the second position. A pressurized spray head can also be arranged at the fifth hole 213, which can further improve the water flow effect during showering.

[0056] It can be understood that the middle part of the accommodating groove 120 refers to the center position of the cross section of the accommodating groove 120 taken along the direction perpendicular to the center rotating axis of the adjusting member 200.

[0057] Specifically, with reference to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 8The adjusting member 200 can be composed of an outer cover 201 and an inner cover 202, which jointly define a containing cavity 240 and a water storage cavity 270. The inner cover 202 is located close to the bottom wall 130, and the outer cover 201 and the inner cover 202 are fixedly connected after being assembled with the massage head 300 to form the complete adjusting member 200. A handle 280 can be arranged on the outer cover of the adjusting member 200 to facilitate the user to drive the adjusting member 200 to rotate.

[0058] Further, referring to Figure 1 、 Figures 6 to 8 The adjusting member 200 is further provided with a third flow channel 230, which is in communication with the first flow channel 210. The minimum inner diameter of the third flow channel 230 is greater than or equal to the minimum inner diameter of the first flow channel 210, so as to ensure that the shower 10 has sufficient water outlet size when water is discharged through the third flow channel 230. The adjusting member 200 can be rotated to a third position relative to the main body 100. The first position, the second position and the third position are sequentially arranged along the rotation direction of the adjusting member 200. When the adjusting member 200 is rotated to the state of being located at the third position, the third flow channel 230 is in communication with the water inlet channel 110, and at least a part of the massage head 300 is located outside the containing groove 120, so as to realize that the shower 10 has a larger water outlet to shower when the massage head 300 is in the use state and extends out of the containing groove 120, and realizes that the shower 10 can be washed and massaged at the same time. By arranging the third flow channel 230, the shower 10 can be selected in the pure showering mode, the bathware scrubbing mode and the mode of showering and massaging at the same time through the rotation of the adjusting member 200, thereby improving the functionality of the shower 10 and meeting more use requirements.

[0059] Specifically, the third flow channel 230 can be a continuous through hole directly communicating with the first flow channel 210. Alternatively, referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8 In the embodiment in which the adjusting member 200 is provided with an annular groove, the third flow channel 230 includes a sixth hole 231, and the sixth hole 231, the first hole 221 and the third hole 211 are spaced apart along the rotation direction of the adjusting member 200 from the first position to the second position. The third flow channel 230 and the first flow channel 210 can have a common flow channel.

[0060] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 9 A rubber member 800 such as a skin cup can be arranged at the water outlet of the water inlet channel 110 to seal, so as to reduce the possibility of water leakage at the communication part when the water inlet channel is in communication with the first flow channel 210, the second flow channel or the third flow channel.

[0061] It should be noted that, referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 8The third hole 211, the fourth hole 212, and the fifth hole 213 of the first flow channel 210, the first hole 221 and the second hole 222 of the second flow channel 220, and the sixth hole 231 of the third flow channel 230 are not limited in number, and the number of each hole can be one or more, which can be adaptively changed according to actual water outlet requirements.

[0062] With reference to Figure 3 The adjusting member 200 is rotationally connected to the main body 100 through hole shaft cooperation. The main body 100 includes a bottom wall 130 and a side wall 140, which are connected to each other and define a receiving groove 120. The center of the bottom wall 130 of the main body 100 is provided with a rotating shaft 180, and the center of the adjusting member 200 is provided with a rotating hole 295. The rotating shaft 180 is inserted into the rotating hole 295, and the center of the rotating shaft 180 is further provided with a threaded hole. A bolt is threadedly connected to the threaded hole, and the relative movement of the adjusting member 200 and the main body 100 in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 180 can be limited by the abutment of the bolt. In addition, a bolt sleeve is arranged between the rotating shaft 180 and the head of the bolt, which can adjust the degree of pre-tightening of the bolt to adjust the force required to drive the adjusting member 200 to rotate relative to the main body 100. The inner wall of the rotating hole 295 and the outer surface of the rotating shaft 180 can be sealed by a sealing ring and a gasket to reduce the possibility of water accumulation in the shower 10. It can be understood that the positions of the rotating shaft 180 and the rotating hole 295 can be interchanged, that is, the bottom wall 130 of the main body 100 is provided with the rotating hole 295, and the adjusting member 200 is provided with the rotating shaft 180.

[0063] With reference to Figure 3 The movement of the massage head 300 in the receiving groove 120 can be achieved by setting the connecting portion 320 of the massage head 300 as a screw rod (not shown in the figure). The end of the bolt away from the bottom wall 130 is provided with a nut (not shown in the figure) as the head of the bolt, so that the screw rod can be threadedly connected with the nut. When the screw rod and the nut rotate relative to each other, the massage head 300 can move relative to the main body in the axial direction of the rotating shaft. With reference to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 13 and Figure 14The one of the massage head 300 and the adjusting member 200 is provided with a guide hole 330 extending along the axial direction of the rotation shaft 180, and the other is provided with a guide portion 245 extending along the axial direction of the rotation shaft 180, the guide portion 245 is inserted into the guide hole 330, the cooperation of the guide hole 330 and the guide portion 245 enables the adjusting member 200 to drive the massage head 300 to rotate, and with the rotation, the massage head 300 can move along the axial direction of the rotation shaft 180 to extend or retract the shower head 10. It can be understood that the guide hole 330 and the guide portion 245 are located radially outside the rotation shaft 180.

[0064] In order to further reduce the volume of the shower head 10 and facilitate the use of the shower head 10, the application further provides an improvement. Referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 The main body 100 includes a bottom wall 130, a side wall 140 and a guide portion 150, the bottom wall 130 and the side wall 140 are connected to each other and define a receiving groove 120, the guide portion 150 is connected to the bottom wall 130, the guide portion 150 extends along the rotation direction of the adjusting member 200, the side of the guide portion 150 away from the bottom wall 130 is provided with a guide surface 151, the distance between the guide surface 151 and the adjusting member 200 gradually decreases along the direction in which the adjusting member 200 rotates from the first position to the second position, and the connecting portion 320 abuts against the guide surface 151. The adjusting member 200 is further provided with a through hole 250, the through hole 250 communicates the receiving cavity 240 and the receiving groove 120, the connecting portion 320 passes through the through hole 250, and when the adjusting member 200 rotates, the connecting portion 320 is abutted by the inner wall of the through hole 250, so that the massage head 300 can be driven to rotate synchronously. The shower head 10 further includes a first elastic member 400, the first elastic member 400 is connected to the massage head 300, and the first elastic member 400 is used to apply a force to the massage head 300 towards the bottom wall 130, so as to ensure that the connecting portion 320 can abut against the guide surface 151. By abutting the guide surface 151 and the connecting portion 320, when the adjusting member 200 drives the massage head 300 to rotate, the connecting portion 320 can move along the inclined direction of the guide surface 151 in the axial direction of the rotation shaft 180, so that the massage portion 310 can extend or retract into the shower head 10. In the embodiment, the connecting portion 320 can enter the water passing cavity 190 through the through hole 250, effectively utilize the space in the water passing cavity 190, improve the space utilization rate, and effectively reduce the volume of the main body 100.

[0065] Specifically, the first elastic member 400 can be selected as a spring, an elastic rubber or other elastic member in the art, and provides an elastic force by abutting against the massage head 300. For example, the first elastic member 400 can abut against the massage portion 310. In some embodiments, the massage head 300 can include the massage portion 310, the base 360 and the connecting portion 320. The base 360 is connected to the connecting portion 320. The massage portion 310 is connected to the base 360 and protrudes away from the connecting portion 320. The first elastic member 400 can abut against the base 360. Alternatively, the first elastic member 400 can be selected as an elastic sleeve. One end of the elastic sleeve is fixed to the massage head 300. The other end of the elastic sleeve is fixed to the bottom wall 130. The base 360 of the massage head 300 is provided with a water passing hole 340. The elastic sleeve can pass through the water passing hole 340 to be fixed. The elastic sleeve can be a lanyard or other elastic sleeve.

[0066] In the embodiment, one of the massage head 300 and the adjusting member 200 is provided with a guide hole 330 extending along the axial direction of the rotation shaft 180. The other is provided with a guide portion 245 extending along the axial direction of the rotation shaft 180. The guide hole 330 and the guide portion 245 can drive the adjusting member 200 to rotate the massage head 300, so as to reduce the tangential force of the connecting portion 320 and improve the stability of the movement of the massage head 300.

[0067] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the guiding portion 150 is further provided with a supporting surface 152 away from the bottom wall 130. The guiding surface 151 and the supporting surface 152 are sequentially connected in the direction in which the adjusting member 200 rotates from the first position to the second position. The distance between the supporting surface 152 and the adjusting member 200 is a. The maximum distance between the guiding surface 151 and the adjusting member 200 is b. It is satisfied that a < b. When the adjusting member 200 is located at the second position, the connecting portion 320 abuts against the supporting surface 152. The supporting surface 152 can provide stable support for the connecting portion 320, so as to reduce the probability that the connecting portion 320 is pressed to slide against the guiding surface 151 to overcome the elastic force of the first elastic member 400 when the massage portion 310 is used for massage. The shower 10 can provide stable massage function, and the stability of the shower 10 is improved. It can be understood that in the embodiment provided with the third flow channel 230, since the first position, the second position and the third position are sequentially arranged in the rotation direction of the adjusting member 200, when the adjusting member 200 rotates to the third position, the connecting portion 320 also abuts against the supporting surface 152. Therefore, when the adjusting member 200 is located at the third position, the supporting surface 152 can also provide stable abutment for the massage head 300.

[0068] Referring to Figure 10 and Figure 11Further, the main body 100 is further provided with a limiting portion 160, the limiting portion 160 is connected to the bottom wall 130, the limiting portion 160 and the guide portion 150 are sequentially connected along the direction in which the adjusting member 200 rotates from the first position to the second position, the end face of the limiting portion 160 away from the bottom wall 130 has a distance c from the adjusting member 200, the maximum distance between the guide face 151 and the adjusting member 200 is b, and c < b is satisfied. After the connecting portion 320 moves along the guide face 151 to the massage portion 310 and is retracted into the shower head 10, the connecting portion 320 abuts against the limiting portion 160, the limiting portion 160 limits the movement of the connecting portion 320 along the rotating direction of the adjusting member 200, and further limits the continuous rotation of the adjusting member 200, thereby preventing the over-rotation of the adjusting member 200 during use, so that the adjusting member 200 stops after rotating to the first position, the positioning accuracy of the adjusting member 200 rotating to the first position is improved, and the use of the shower head 10 is further facilitated.

[0069] In order to reduce the difficulty of the abutting sliding of the connecting portion 320 and the guide face 151, the application further provides an improvement. Referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the end of the connecting portion 320 away from the massage portion 310 is provided with a curved surface 311, and the curved surface 311 abuts against the guide face 151. The curved surface 311 can reduce the friction when the connecting portion 320 abuts against and slides along the guide face 151, and reduce the resistance tangential to the movement direction of the connecting portion 320, so that the movement of the connecting portion 320 is smoother, and the difficulty of driving the massage head 300 to move by rotating the adjusting member 200 is reduced.

[0070] As another aspect of the above-mentioned improvement, referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the main body 100 further comprises a fixing portion 170 connected to the bottom wall 130.

The shower head 10 further comprises a second elastic member 500, one end of the second elastic member 500 is connected to the fixing portion 170, and the other end of the second elastic member 500 is located in the limiting groove 260, and the second elastic member 500 can move from one limiting groove 260 to another limiting groove 260 along with the rotation of the adjusting member 200. Through the cooperation of the second elastic member 500 and the limiting groove 260, the adjusting member 200 can have a certain jerk when rotating, so as to prompt the user how many degrees have been rotated or whether the rotation is in place, and the use experience of the shower head 10 is improved.

[0071] Specifically, the second elastic member 500 is located in the first limiting groove 260 when the adjusting member 200 is in the first position. When the adjusting member 200 moves to the second position, the second elastic member 500 moves to the second limiting groove 260 along with the rotation of the adjusting member 200. When the adjusting member 200 moves to the third position, the second elastic member 500 moves to the third limiting groove 260 along with the rotation of the adjusting member 200. The distance between the three limiting grooves 260 is the same as the interval between the first position, the second position and the third position in the rotation direction of the adjusting member 200, so as to accurately prompt the user that the adjusting member 200 has been rotated to the right position.

[0072] The second elastic member 500 can be a conventional ball screw in the art, or can be an assembly of a spring and a bolt. When the second elastic member 500 is a ball screw, the ball screw can be fixedly connected to the inner wall, or can be inserted into a hole provided on the inner wall. When the second elastic member 500 is an assembly of a spring and a bolt, a part of the spring and the bolt is located in a hole provided on the inner wall, one end of the spring abuts against the inner surface of the hole, and the other end of the spring abuts against one end of the bolt, and the other end of the bolt abuts against the adjusting member 200.

[0073] With reference to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 12 , in the embodiment in which the connecting portion 320 is inserted into the insertion hole 250 and the second flow channel 220 is communicated with the accommodating cavity 240, since the insertion hole 250 is communicated with the accommodating cavity 240, the insertion hole 250 needs to be sealed to reduce the possibility of water leakage. To solve the above problem, the present application further provides an embodiment in which the insertion hole 250 comprises a first hole section 251 and a second hole section 252 connected to each other, the inner diameter of the first hole section 251 is greater than the inner diameter of the second hole section 252, the shower head 10 further comprises a sealing member 600 and a limiting member 700, the sealing member 600 is sleeved on the connecting portion 320, and the sealing member 600 is located in the first hole section 251.

Through the cooperation of the limiting member 700 and the sealing member 600, the gap between the connecting portion 320 and the insertion hole 250 can be sealed, and the movement of the connecting portion 320 in the insertion hole 250 is ensured, thereby reducing the probability of water leakage.

[0074] With reference to Figure 5 and Figure 9The main body 100 is provided with an opening 121 which is communicated with the accommodating groove 120, and the adjusting member 200 covers the opening 121. In some embodiments, the outer end surface 203 is flush with the opening 121, and in the state that the adjusting member 200 is in the second position, the massage part 310 protrudes from the outer end surface 203 away from the side of the water passing cavity 190, so as to ensure that the massage part 310 can contact the user for massage. In some embodiments, the outer end surface 203 is located on the side of the opening 121 away from the water passing cavity 190, and in the state that the adjusting member 200 is in the second position, the massage part 310 protrudes from the outer end surface 203 away from the side of the water passing cavity 190, so as to ensure that the massage part 310 can contact the user for massage.
