Technical Field

[0002] The invention relates to the field of intelligent electrical appliances, in particular to a shower. Background Art

[0003] With the development of the times, more and more products tend to be more intelligent, and bathroom products also need to be upgraded to intelligent ones. Electronic touch switches have become an inevitable trend.

[0004] However, due to the complex environment of the bathroom, heavy humidity and high water vapor, water vapor entering the circuit board can cause the electronic touch switch buttons to fail, and the water vapor may also cause the circuit board to short-circuit and be damaged. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is how to improve the waterproof performance of the operating panel of the shower.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides an operation panel of a shower, which includes:

[0007] panel;

[0008] A housing plate, disposed on the first surface of the panel and provided with a first mounting hole;

[0009] An inner shell, arranged on a side of the outer shell plate facing away from the panel and connected to the outer shell plate, provided with a chamber and a second mounting hole, wherein the second mounting hole is arranged on a wall surface of the chamber close to the outer shell plate and aligned with the first mounting hole;

[0010] The sealing sleeve is elastic and comprises a sleeve passing through the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole;

[0011] a circuit board disposed in the chamber; and

[0042] The present disclosure describes multiple embodiments, but the description is exemplary rather than restrictive, and it is apparent to those skilled in the art that there may be more embodiments and implementations within the scope of the embodiments described in the present disclosure. Although many possible feature combinations are shown in the drawings and discussed in the specific embodiments, many other combinations of the disclosed features are possible. Unless specifically limited, any feature or element of any embodiment may be used in combination with any other feature or element in any other embodiment, or may replace any other feature or element in any other embodiment.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The structure of a shower in this application is shown. Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the shower comprises an operation panel 8. The operation panel 8 is an input and output device of the shower and comprises a panel 81, an outer shell 28, an inner shell 26, a circuit board 27, a sealing sleeve 25 and a functional device 82.

[0044] like Figure 5 As shown, the panel 81 is constructed as a plate-like structure, and the panel 81 can be made of insulating material. The panel 81 can be a glass panel. The two opposite plate surfaces of the panel 81 are respectively a first surface and a second surface, and the first surface faces downward, and downward refers to the direction toward the ground.

[0045] like Figure 4 , 6 As shown, the shell plate 28 is constructed as a plate-like structure. The shell plate 28 can be constructed as a roughly flat plate structure, for example, it can be constructed as a rectangular flat plate structure. The shell plate 28 can be made of an insulating material, such as a plastic material. The shell plate 28 is arranged on the first surface of the panel 8, and one plate surface of the shell plate 28 is attached to the first surface of the shell plate 28. A first mounting hole 281 is provided on the shell plate 28, and the first mounting hole 281 is a through hole that vertically penetrates the shell plate 28. The first mounting hole 281 can be constructed as a round hole or a square hole. One end of the first mounting hole 281 faces the panel 81. The shell plate 28 and the panel 81 can be bonded together with a sealant.

[0046] The inner shell 26 is configured as a box-like structure. The inner shell 26 can be configured as a flat straight box-like structure. The inner shell 26 is arranged on the side of the outer shell plate 28 facing away from the panel 81. The inner shell 26 is detachably connected to the outer shell plate 28. The inner shell 26 and the outer shell can be screw-connected and / or detachably snap-connected. The inner shell 26 is provided with a chamber 261 and a second mounting hole 262. The chamber 261 can be configured as a rectangular cavity. The second mounting hole 262 is arranged on the wall surface of the chamber 261 close to the outer shell plate 28, and is configured as a through hole penetrating the wall surface. The shape of the second mounting hole 262 is the same as the shape of the first mounting hole 281 of the outer shell plate 28. The second mounting hole 262 is aligned with the first mounting hole 281, and the second mounting hole 262 and the first mounting hole 281 can be coaxially arranged.

[0047] The circuit board 27 is disposed in the chamber 261 of the inner shell 26. The circuit board 27 can be constructed as a substantially rectangular flat plate, and the circuit board 27 can be parallel to the outer shell plate 28. The circuit board 27 is fixedly connected to the inner shell 26. The circuit board 27 and the inner shell 26 can be connected by screws. The circuit board 27 can be a PVB board.

[0048] The functional device 82 is arranged on the circuit board 27. The functional device 82 may include a touch key switch 1b or a display device 86. The functional device 82 may be welded on the board surface of the circuit board 27 facing the outer shell board 28. The functional device 82 extends into the second mounting hole 262 of the inner shell 26 and the first mounting hole 281 of the outer shell board 28. One end of the functional device 82 facing away from the circuit board 27 also abuts against the panel 81.

[0049] like Figure 6 , 7 As shown, the sealing sleeve 25 is made of elastic material. The sealing sleeve 25 can be made of silicone or rubber. The sealing sleeve 25 is elastic.

[0050] The sealing sleeve 25 includes a sleeve 251. The sleeve 251 is inserted into the first mounting hole 281 of the outer shell 28 and the second mounting hole 262 of the inner shell 26. The cross-sectional shape of the sleeve 251 may be the same as the cross-sectional shape of the first mounting hole 281. The cross-sectional shape of the sleeve 251 may be a circular ring or a rectangular ring. The outer circumferential surface of the sleeve 251 abuts against the inner circumferential surface of the first mounting hole 281 of the outer shell 28 and / or the inner circumferential surface of the second mounting hole 262 of the inner shell 26. The functional device 82 is arranged in the sleeve 251.

[0051] The sleeve 251 is sandwiched between the panel 81 and the circuit board 27, with one end of the sleeve 251 abutting against the panel 81 and the other end of the sleeve 251 abutting against the circuit board 27. The length of the sleeve 251 is greater than the distance between the circuit board 27 and the panel 81, and the sleeve 251 is in an elastically compressed state.

[0052] In this way, the two ends of the sleeve 251 are respectively in contact with the panel 81 and the circuit board 27, and the sleeve 251 is in an elastically compressed state, and the two ends of the sleeve 251 can be respectively sealed by the panel 81 and the circuit board 27. In addition, since the functional device 82 is arranged in the sleeve 251, and the two ends of the sleeve 251 are sealed, the functional device 82 is equivalent to being in a closed sleeve 251, and water and moisture are difficult to enter the sleeve 251. The functional device 82 is unlikely to fail due to excessive humidity in the use environment, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the operation panel 8.

[0053] In an illustrative embodiment, Figure 7 , 8 As shown, the end of the sleeve 251 facing the panel 81 is provided with an annular groove 253, and the annular groove 253 is coaxial with the sleeve 251. In the direction from the groove bottom of the annular groove 253 to the opening of the annular groove 253, the width of the annular groove 253 increases gradually.

[0054] In this way, the closer the annular groove 253 is to the panel 81, the wider it is. When the end of the sleeve 251 presses the panel 81, the side wall of the outer side of the annular groove 253 opens radially outward, and the side wall of the inner side of the annular groove 253 opens radially inward, so that the sleeve 251 can be closely attached to the panel 81, and the contact area between the end of the sleeve 251 and the panel 81 is larger, and it is more difficult for moisture and water to pass between the end of the sleeve 251 and the panel 81.

[0055] In an illustrative embodiment, the sealing sleeve 25 further includes a sealing convex ring 252. The sealing convex ring 252 extends radially outward from one end of the sleeve 251 close to the circuit board 27. The sealing convex ring 252 is sleeved on the end of the sleeve 251. The inner diameter of the sealing convex ring 252 is the same as the inner diameter of the sleeve 251, and the outer diameter of the sealing convex ring 252 is larger than the outer diameter of the sleeve 251. The sealing convex ring 252 and the sleeve 251 are an integrally formed structure. The sealing convex ring 252 is located in the chamber 261 of the inner shell 26. The sealing convex ring 252 is sandwiched between the circuit board 27 and the inner shell 26. The sealing convex ring 252 is squeezed by the circuit board 27 and the inner shell 26 and has elastic compression deformation.

[0056] The sealing convex ring 252 can seal the gap between the edge of the second mounting hole 262 of the inner shell 26 and the circuit board 27, thereby preventing water and moisture from entering the chamber 261 of the inner shell 26 through the gap between the outer circumference of the sleeve 251 and the inner circumference of the second mounting hole 262, and also preventing moisture and water that have entered the sleeve 251 from entering the chamber 261 of the inner shell 26, thereby further reducing the possibility of short circuit of the circuit board 27 in the chamber 261 and damage to other electronic components on the circuit board 27.

[0057] In an illustrative embodiment, an annular ridge 254 is provided on the end surface of the sealing convex ring 252 facing the circuit board 27. The annular ridge 254 is coaxially arranged with the sealing convex ring 252. The cross section of the annular ridge 254 may be an equilateral triangle with the vertex facing the circuit board 27. A plurality of annular ridges 254 may be provided, and the diameters of each annular ridge 254 are different. Two adjacent annular ridges 254 are spaced apart.

[0058] When the circuit board 27 squeezes the sealing convex ring 252, since the annular ridge 254 protrudes from the end face of the sealing convex ring 252 facing the circuit board 27, the compression deformation at the annular ridge 254 of the sealing convex ring 252 becomes larger, and the pressure applied by the annular ridge 254 on the circuit board 27 is greater, which can further increase the sealing performance between the sealing convex ring 252 and the circuit board 27, and can prevent water and moisture entering the sleeve 251 from entering the chamber 261 of the inner shell 26 from the gap between the sealing convex ring 252 and the circuit board 27, further reducing the possibility of short circuit of the circuit board 27 in the chamber 261 and damage to other electronic components on the circuit board 27.

[0059] In an exemplary embodiment, the sealing sleeve 25 is injection molded on the inner shell 26, so that the sealing sleeve 25 and the inner shell 26 are an integrally molded structure. The structure can be made by a two-stage injection molding process, firstly, the inner shell 26 is made by an injection molding process, and then the sealing sleeve 25 is made on the inner shell 26 by an injection molding process. The sealing convex ring 252 is connected to the first surface of the chamber 261 of the inner shell 26 and / or the outer peripheral surface of the sleeve 251 is connected to the inner peripheral surface of the second mounting hole 262 of the inner shell 26.

[0060] Since the sealing sleeve 25 and the inner shell 26 are integrally formed, the number of parts is reduced, and the assembly steps and assembly difficulty are reduced. At the same time, the sealing sleeve 25 and the inner shell 26 are tightly connected together, which can further enhance the sealing between the sealing sleeve 25 and the inner shell 26, prevent water and moisture from entering the chamber 261 of the inner shell 26 from the gap between the sealing sleeve 25 and the inner shell 26, and further reduce the possibility of short circuit of the circuit board 27 in the chamber 261 and damage to other electronic components on the circuit board 27.

[0061] In an illustrative embodiment, the operation panel 8 further includes a first potting glue layer (not shown in the figure). The first potting glue layer can be a potting glue layer formed on the surface of the circuit board 27 by pouring potting glue into the sleeve 251 of the sealing sleeve 25 after the circuit board 27, the inner shell 26, the functional device 82 and the sealing sleeve 25 are assembled together. The first potting glue layer covers the area of ​​the circuit board 27 enclosed by the sleeve 251 of the sealing sleeve 25, and the edge of the first potting glue layer is connected to the inner circumference of the sleeve 251 so that the first potting glue layer blocks the end of the sleeve 251 close to the circuit board 27.

[0062] Since the first potting glue layer can seal the end of the sleeve 251 close to the circuit board 27, the first potting glue layer separates the internal space of the sleeve 251 from the circuit board 27. Even if water and moisture enter the sleeve 251 of the sealing sleeve 25, the circuit board 27 will not be wetted to cause a short circuit in the circuit board 27 or damage other electronic components on the circuit board 27.

[0063] In an illustrative embodiment, Figure 4 , 6 As shown, a mounting opening 260 is provided on one side of the chamber 261 of the inner shell 26 facing away from the outer shell plate 28. The mounting opening 260 may be a rectangular opening. The mounting opening 260 is for the circuit board 27 to pass through. The mounting opening 260 is greater than or equal to the area of ​​the circuit board 27, so that the circuit board 27 can be installed in the inner cavity of the inner shell 26 through the mounting opening 260.

[0064] The operation panel 8 further includes a second potting glue layer 83. The second potting glue layer 83 may be a potting glue layer formed on the surface of the circuit board 27 by pouring potting glue into the installation opening 260 after the circuit board 27 and the inner shell 26 are assembled together. The second potting glue layer 83 fully covers the side of the circuit board 27 facing away from the outer shell plate 28, and the edge of the second potting glue layer 83 is connected to the side wall of the cavity 261, so that the second potting glue layer 83 can block the installation opening 260. The thickness of the second potting glue layer 83 is preferably greater than or equal to 5 mm.

[0065] Since the second potting adhesive layer 83 completely covers the surface of the circuit board 27 facing away from the outer shell plate 28, and the second potting adhesive layer 83 blocks the installation opening 260 on the inner shell 26, water and moisture cannot enter the cavity 261 of the inner shell 26 through the installation opening 260, thereby preventing the circuit board 27 in the cavity 261 from short-circuiting or damaging the electronic components on the circuit board 27.

[0066] In an illustrative embodiment, Figure 4 , 9 As shown in Figures 10, a connecting cylinder 264 is provided on the inner wall of the chamber 261 of the inner shell 26 near the outer shell plate 28. The connecting cylinder 264 can be constructed as a cylinder. A first through hole 263 is provided on the wall surface of the chamber 261 near the outer shell plate 28, and one end of the connecting cylinder 264 connected to the wall surface is coaxially arranged with the first through hole 263 and connected to each other. The first through hole 263 is connected to the interior of the connecting cylinder 264. The extending direction of the connecting cylinder 264 is perpendicular to the circuit board 27, and one end of the connecting cylinder 264 facing away from the first through hole 263 extends toward the mounting opening 260. A through hole for the connecting cylinder 264 to pass through is provided on the circuit board 27, and the connecting cylinder 264 passes through the through hole.

[0067] A connecting protruding ring 265 is disposed inside the end of the connecting tube 264 facing away from the panel 81. The connecting protruding ring 265 extends radially inward from the end of the connecting tube 264 facing away from the panel 81. The connecting protruding ring 265 is coaxially disposed with the connecting tube 264.

[0068] The outer shell plate 28 is provided with a screw column 282. The screw column 282 is provided on the side of the outer shell plate 28 facing away from the panel 81. One end of the screw column 282 is connected to the outer shell plate 28. The other end of the screw column 282 passes through the first through hole 263 on the inner shell 26 and extends into the connecting cylinder 264. The top end of the screw column 282 facing away from the panel 81 is provided with a first screw hole. The first screw hole is coaxially arranged with the connecting protruding ring 265.

[0069] The operation panel 8 further comprises a first screw 85. The first screw 85 passes through the connection protruding ring 265 on the inner shell 26 and is screwed into the first screw hole of the screw column 282 on the outer shell plate 28, thereby screwing the inner shell 26 and the outer shell plate 28 together.

[0070] In the process of pouring potting glue into the installation opening 260 of the inner shell 26 to form the second potting glue layer 83, the liquid level of the potting glue is less than the height of the end of the connecting tube 264 facing away from the outer shell plate 28, and the end of the connecting tube 264 facing away from the outer shell plate 28 protrudes from the surface of the second potting glue layer 83 facing away from the circuit board 27.

[0071] In this way, the first screw 85 will not be encapsulated in the second potting glue layer 83 , but exposed outside the second potting glue layer 83 , thereby facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the inner shell 26 and the outer shell plate 28 , and further facilitating the maintenance of the circuit board 27 .

[0072] In an exemplary embodiment, the distance from the end surface of the connecting tube 264 facing away from the outer shell plate 28 to the second potting adhesive layer 83 is greater than 0.5 mm, that is, the distance that the end of the connecting tube 264 facing away from the outer shell plate 28 protrudes from the second potting adhesive layer 83.

[0073] When pouring potting glue into the installation opening 260 of the inner shell 26, the height difference between the liquid level of the potting glue and the end surface height of the connecting tube 264 facing away from the outer shell plate 28 is controlled to be above 0.5 mm, which can effectively prevent the potting glue from entering the connecting tube 264 and reduce the difficulty of pouring the potting glue.

[0074] In an illustrative embodiment, Figures 11 to 13 As shown, the functional device 82, the sealing sleeve 25, the first mounting hole 281 on the outer shell plate 28, and the second mounting hole 262 on the inner shell 26 are all provided with a plurality of them. The functional device 82, the sealing sleeve 25, the first mounting hole 281 on the outer shell plate 28, and the second mounting hole 262 on the inner shell 26 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0075] Each first mounting hole 281 on the outer shell plate 28 is aligned with the second mounting hole 262 on the inner shell plate 26 corresponding to the first mounting hole 281, and each sealing sleeve 25 is inserted through the first mounting hole 281 and the second mounting hole 262 corresponding to the sealing sleeve 25. Each functional device 82 extends into the first mounting hole 281 and the second mounting hole 262 corresponding to it, and is located in the corresponding sealing sleeve 25.

[0076] In an illustrative embodiment, the plurality of functional devices 82 include a touch key switch 1b. The touch key switch 1b includes a touch key that is inserted through the first mounting hole 281 and the second mounting hole 262. The touch key may be a touch spring. The touch spring refers to a special spring key for capacitive and single-chip touch screen appliances. One end of the touch key is connected to the circuit board 27, and the other end of the touch key abuts against the panel 81.

[0077] The touch key switch 1 b can be triggered by a user touching the area of ​​the panel 8 corresponding to the touch key. The touch key switch 1 b has a simple and reliable structure.

[0078] In an illustrative embodiment, the plurality of functional devices 82 further include a display device 86. The display device 86 may be a digital tube. The display device 86 is disposed on the circuit board 27. A display window is disposed on the panel 81. The display window is aligned with the display device 86. The user can view the content displayed on the display device 86 through the display window. The display device 86 may be used to display the water outlet temperature of the shower in real time.

[0079] In an illustrative embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the panel 81 includes a top plate 811 and a front side plate 812. The top plate 811 can be constructed as a roughly flat plate, and the top plate 811 is horizontally arranged. The top plate 811 has a front end and a rear end opposite to the front end. The front side plate 812 extends obliquely downward from the front end of the top plate 811. The top plate 811 and the front side plate 812 are transitioned by a fillet, and the central angle of the arc surface at the fillet is greater than 25°. The shell plate 28 is connected to the first surface of the front side plate 812, and the first surface smoothly transitions with the lower surface of the top plate 811.

[0080] The panel 81 is designed to be in an arc shape. When the water from the overhead shower or hand-held showerhead is sprayed onto the panel 81, the water can flow to the ground along the upward arc surface of the panel 81 without flowing to the downward first surface of the panel 81. The outer shell 28, the inner shell 26, the circuit board 27 and other components are fixed to the downward first surface of the panel 81. The service life of the entire circuit board 27 and other electronic components can be extended, and most of the water can be prevented from entering the valve body assembly 6 under the panel 81.

[0081] In an illustrative embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, a sealant layer 84 is provided between the plate surface of the outer shell plate 28 facing the panel 81 and the first surface of the panel 81, and the sealant layer 84 bonds the panel 81 and the outer shell plate 28 together. The sealant may be silicone. Silicone has strong bonding force and high tensile strength, and at the same time has the characteristics of weather resistance, vibration resistance, moisture resistance, odor resistance and adaptability to large changes in temperature. After the sealant is fully coated on the plate surface of the outer shell plate 28 facing the panel 81, the outer shell plate 28 is pasted on the panel 81, so that a sealant layer 84 is formed between the entire plate surface of the outer shell plate 28 facing the panel 81 and the panel 81, and the sealant layer 84 covers the plate surface of the outer shell plate 28 facing the panel 81.

[0082] The sealant layer 84 can not only firmly fix the outer shell plate 28 on the panel 81, but also enhance the sealing performance between the outer shell plate 28 and the panel 81, preventing water and moisture from entering the first mounting hole 281 of the outer shell plate 28 from the gap between the outer shell plate 28 and the panel 81, thereby avoiding failure of the functional device 82 and short circuit of the circuit board 27.

[0083] In an illustrative embodiment, the outer shell plate 28 and the inner shell 26 are also connected by a detachable snap-fit ​​connection.

[0084] When assembling the outer shell 28 and the inner shell 26, the outer shell 28 and the inner shell 26 can be snap-connected first, so that the outer shell 28 and the inner shell are initially fixed together, and then the outer shell 28 and the inner shell 26 are screw-connected together using the first screw 85. It is more convenient to screw the first screw 85, and the elastic force applied to the outer shell 28 and the inner shell 26 by the touch key can be avoided. The impact on the assembly caused by the elastic force applied to the outer shell 28 and the inner shell 26 by the touch key can be avoided. At the same time, the outer shell 28 and the inner shell 26 are double fixedly connected by screw connection and snap connection, so that the outer shell 28 and the inner shell 26 can be fixed more firmly.

[0085] like Figures 1 to 2DAs shown, the shower also includes a valve body assembly 6. The valve body assembly 6 includes a valve body 61, a temperature control valve body 62, a first solenoid valve 1a, a second solenoid valve 13 and a booster pump assembly 11. The temperature control valve body 62, the first solenoid valve 1a, the second solenoid valve 13 and the booster pump assembly 11 are all installed on the valve body 61. The booster pump assembly 11 includes a booster pump 111. The valve body 61 is provided with a cold water inlet 37, a cold water inlet waterway, a hot water inlet 35, a hot water inlet waterway, a main waterway, a diversion waterway, a plurality of water outlet waterways and a plurality of installation cavities. The temperature control valve body 62, a plurality of first solenoid valves 1a, and a second solenoid valve 13 are respectively arranged in different installation cavities. The cold water inlet 37 is used to receive input cold water, and the hot water inlet 35 is used to receive input hot water, and the temperature of the hot water is higher than the temperature of the cold water. The two water inlets of the temperature control valve body 62 are connected to the cold water inlet 37 and the hot water inlet 35 through the cold water inlet waterway and the hot water inlet waterway respectively, the water inlet of the second solenoid valve 13 is connected to the water outlet of the temperature control valve body 62 through the main waterway, the water inlet of the boosting pump 111 is connected to the water outlet of the second solenoid valve 13 through the flow channel, the water outlet of the boosting pump 111 is connected to the water inlets of multiple first solenoid valves 1a through the diversion waterway, the water outlets of the multiple first solenoid valves 1a are respectively connected to multiple water outlet waterways of the valve body 61, and a water outlet interface is provided at the end of each water outlet waterway facing away from the first solenoid valve 1a.

[0086] The temperature control valve body 62 is used to mix the cold water input from the cold water inlet 37 and the hot water input from the hot water inlet 35 in a set ratio to obtain mixed water of a set temperature, and output the mixed water. The set ratio can be set by the user. When the booster pump 111 is turned off, the water flow can flow freely through the booster pump 111. When the booster pump 111 is turned on, the booster pump 111 can suck water from its water inlet and pressurize the sucked water and then output it from its water outlet. The number of water outlet waterways is the same as the number of the first solenoid valves 1a. Each first solenoid valve 1a controls the on and off of a water outlet waterway. The second solenoid valve 13 is used to control the connection and disconnection of the water inlet of the booster pump 111.

[0087] The second solenoid valve 13 is configured to be closed when all the first solenoid valves 1 a are closed, and to be opened when any one of the first solenoid valves 1 a is opened.

[0088] In this way, when the shower is used, at least one of the first solenoid valve 1a and the second solenoid valve 13 is opened, and cold water and hot water are respectively input into the valve body 61 from the cold water inlet 37 and the hot water inlet 35, and are respectively transported to the two water inlets of the temperature control valve body 62 through the cold water inlet waterway and the hot water inlet waterway. The cold water and hot water are mixed in the temperature control valve body 62 according to the set ratio to form mixed water of the set temperature. The mixed water is output from the outlet of the temperature control valve body 62 to the second solenoid valve 13, and the mixed water flows through the second solenoid valve 13 and enters the booster pump 111. The booster pump 111 pressurizes the mixed water and transports the pressurized mixed water to the plurality of first solenoid valves 1a. The mixed water flows through the first solenoid valve 1a in the open state and enters the water outlet waterway corresponding to the first solenoid valve 1a in the open state, and is output from the water outlet waterway to the outside of the valve body 61. When only one of the first solenoid valves 1a is opened, only the water outlet waterway corresponding to the first solenoid valve 1a will output water. When a plurality of first solenoid valves 1a are opened at the same time, a plurality of water outlet waterways corresponding to these first solenoid valves 1a can discharge water at the same time.

[0089] When the shower is not in use, the first solenoid valve 1a and the second solenoid valve 13 are closed, and all water outlets and main waterways are blocked. Since the booster pump 111 is arranged downstream of the second solenoid valve 13, the booster pump 111 does not need to bear water pressure when the second solenoid valve 13 is in a closed state, and the second solenoid valve 13 has a much higher ability to bear water pressure than the booster pump 111 and the second solenoid valve can bear pressure for a long time, thus preventing the booster pump 111 from being damaged by long-term pressure when the shower is not in use.

[0090] The display device 86 may be used to display the outlet water temperature of the water supply water path in real time.

[0091] In an illustrative embodiment, the pressure bearing capacity of the booster pump assembly 11 is 1.2 MPa, the pressure bearing capacity of the second solenoid valve 13 is greater than 2 MPa, and the water supply pressure of domestic water is generally 0.15-0.35 MPa. The pressure bearing capacity of the second solenoid valve 13 is much greater than the water supply pressure of domestic water.

[0092] In an exemplary embodiment, the first solenoid valve 1a and the second solenoid valve 13 are both normally closed solenoid valves. The first solenoid valve 1a and the second solenoid valve 13 are closed when in a power-off state, and are opened only when in a power-on state.

[0093] Since the shower is used much less than when it is not in use, the time in which the first solenoid valve 1a and the second solenoid valve 13 are in a closed state is longer than the time in an open state. Therefore, setting the first solenoid valve 1a and the second solenoid valve 13 as normally closed solenoid valves can reduce energy consumption. At the same time, in the event of an unexpected power outage, the shower will not discharge water because the first solenoid valve 1a and the second solenoid valve 13 are opened.

[0094] In an illustrative embodiment, the shower further includes a waterfall water assembly 4, a top spray assembly 10 and a handheld shower. A plurality of water outlet waterways include a top spray water outlet waterway, a lower water outlet waterway and a handheld shower water outlet waterway. The water outlet interface 36 of the top spray water outlet waterway is connected to the top spray assembly 10, and the top spray water outlet waterway is used to supply water to the top spray assembly 10. The water outlet interface of the lower water outlet waterway is connected to the waterfall water assembly 4, and the lower water outlet waterway is used to supply water to the waterfall water assembly 4. The waterfall water assembly 4 can output a waterfall-like or water curtain-like water flow downward. The water outlet interface 41 of the handheld shower water outlet waterway is connected to the handheld shower, and the handheld shower water outlet waterway is used to supply water to the handheld shower.

[0095] The plurality of first solenoid valves 1a include a lower water outlet solenoid valve 14, a top spray solenoid valve 15 and a hand-held shower solenoid valve 16. The top spray solenoid valve 15 is arranged on the top spray water outlet waterway, and is used to control the start and stop of the water outlet of the top spray assembly 10. The lower water outlet solenoid valve 14 is arranged on the lower water outlet waterway, and is used to control the start and stop of the water outlet of the waterfall water assembly 4. The hand-held shower solenoid valve 16 is arranged on the hand-held shower water outlet waterway, and is used to control the start and stop of the hand-held shower water outlet.

[0096] In an exemplary embodiment, the booster pump assembly 11 further includes a booster pump water pipe 17 . One end of the booster pump water pipe 17 is connected to the water outlet of the booster pump 111 , and one end of the booster pump water pipe 17 is connected to the diversion waterway of the valve body 61 .

[0097] The water flow output by the booster pump 111 first enters the booster pump water pipe 17, then flows from the booster pump water pipe 17 into the diversion waterway for diversion, and reaches the water inlets of the multiple first solenoid valves 1a.

[0098] In an illustrative embodiment, the valve body assembly 6 also includes a switching valve core 63. The switching valve core 63 is installed on the valve body main body 61. Multiple water outlets and one water inlet are arranged on the switching valve core 63. The water inlet of the switching valve core 63 is connected to the main water path on the valve body main body 61. The number of water outlets of the switching valve core 63 is the same as the number of water outlet water paths of the valve body main body 61. The multiple water outlets of the switching valve core 63 are respectively connected to the multiple water outlet water paths of the valve body main body 61. The water inlet of the switching valve core 63 can be selectively connected to the water outlet of any switching valve core 63, and the water inlet of the switching valve core 63 can also not be connected to the water outlet of any switching valve core 63.

[0099] When the shower is powered off or fails, the user cannot control the first solenoid valve 1a and the second solenoid valve 13 to make the shower discharge water. At this time, the user can operate the switching valve core 63 to connect the main waterway with any water outlet waterway, so that the mixed water in the main waterway can enter the water outlet waterway through the switching valve core 63 and be output from the water outlet waterway. In this way, when the user cannot electrically control the shower, the shower can still discharge water, improving the user experience.

[0100] In an illustrative embodiment, the valve body assembly 6 further includes a temperature control handle assembly 5. The temperature control handle assembly 5 is disposed on one side of the valve body 61. The temperature control handle assembly 5 is connected to the operating shaft of the temperature control valve body 62. The user can set the water temperature of the mixed water output by the temperature control valve body 62 by turning the temperature control handle assembly 5.

[0101] In an illustrative embodiment, the shower further includes a driving board assembly 3. The driving board assembly 3 is a logic control unit of the shower, and the driving board assembly 3 may be a microcomputer. The first solenoid valve 1a, the second solenoid valve 13, and the booster pump 111 are all electrically connected to the driving board assembly 3 through wires. The driving board assembly 3 is provided with driving circuits of the first solenoid valve 1a, the second solenoid valve 13, and the booster pump 111, and the driving board assembly 3 can control the opening and closing of the first solenoid valve 1a, the second solenoid valve 13, and the booster pump 111.

[0102] The operation panel 8 is electrically connected to the drive board assembly 3, and the operation panel 8 is an input and output device of the drive board assembly 3. Multiple touch key switches 1b are all arranged on the same board surface of the circuit board 27. The circuit board 27 is electrically connected to the drive board assembly 3 through a wire. The circuit board 27 is arranged to be relatively fixed with the panel 81. The circuit board 27 and the multiple touch key switches 1b are all arranged below the panel 81. The side of the circuit board 27 provided with the touch key switch 1b faces the panel 81. Multiple touch key switches 1b are all against the panel 81. The touch key switch 1b can be an electric assembly touch key switch 1b or a capacitive touch key switch 1b. Multiple touch control areas are arranged on the panel 81, and the touch control area can be a circular area. The number of touch control areas is the same as the number of touch key switches 1b, and the multiple touch control areas are respectively arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the multiple touch key switches 1b, and each touch control area is offset with its corresponding touch key switch 1b. When a user touches any touch control area, the touch key switch 1b corresponding to the touch control area is triggered. Each time the touch key switch 1b is triggered, the working state of the touch key switch 1b is changed. For example, when the user touches the touch control area once, the touch key switch 1b corresponding to the touch control area is changed from the closed state to the open state. When the user touches the touch control area again, the touch key switch 1b corresponding to the touch control area is changed from the open state to the closed state. A mark can be set on the touch control area to indicate the function of the touch key switch 1b corresponding to the touch control area.

[0103] like Figure 3F As shown, the plurality of touch key switches 1b include a plurality of first touch key switches 11b and a second touch key switch 33. The number of the first touch key switches 11b is the same as the number of the first solenoid valves 1a. The plurality of first touch key switches 11b are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of first solenoid valves 1a, and the first touch key switch 11b is used to control the opening and closing of the corresponding first solenoid valve 1a. The second touch key switch 33 is used to control the start and stop of the boost pump 111.

[0104] The boost pump 111 is configured to be turned on and off by the second touch key switch 33 only when at least one of the first solenoid valves 1a and the second solenoid valve 13 is open, and cannot operate when all the first solenoid valves 1a or the second solenoid valves 13 are closed.

[0105] In an illustrative embodiment, the shower further includes a main control switch 34. The main control switch 34 may be a touch switch, which is disposed on the circuit board 27. The main control switch 34 is the main power switch of the shower, and controls the power on and off of the driving board assembly 3.

[0106] The plurality of first touch button switches 11b include a hand-held shower touch button switch 31, a lower water outlet touch button switch 32, and a top spray water outlet touch button switch 29. The plurality of first solenoid valves 1a include a lower water outlet solenoid valve 14, a top spray solenoid valve 15, and a hand-held shower solenoid valve 16. The hand-held shower touch button switch 31, the lower water outlet touch button switch 32, and the top spray water outlet touch button switch 29 are used to control the opening and closing of the hand-held shower solenoid valve 16, the lower water outlet solenoid valve 14, and the top spray solenoid valve 15, respectively.

[0107] The multiple touch control areas include a hand-held shower touch control area 20, a lower water outlet touch control area 21, a top water outlet touch control area 18, a boost touch control area 22, and a main control touch control area 23. The hand-held shower touch control area 20, the lower water outlet touch control area 21, the top water outlet touch control area 18, the boost touch control area 22, and the main control touch control area 23 correspond to the hand-held shower touch key switch 31, the lower water outlet touch key switch 32, the top water outlet touch key switch 29, the second touch key switch 33, and the main control switch 34, respectively.

[0108] The user can open and close the hand-held shower solenoid valve 16 by touching the hand-held shower touch control area 20, open and close the lower water outlet solenoid valve 14 by touching the lower water outlet touch control area 21, open and close the upper spray solenoid valve 15 by touching the top spray water outlet touch control area 18, start and stop the booster pump 111 by touching the booster touch control area 22, and turn on and off the main control switch 34 of the shower by touching the main control touch control area 23.

[0109] In an illustrative embodiment, the shower further includes a distance sensor. The distance sensor may be disposed on the panel 81 or the main housing 1. The distance sensor is used to measure the distance between the human body and the distance sensor. The distance sensor may be an infrared sensor or a microwave radar. The main control switch 34 is configured to be turned on when the distance sensor detects that the distance between the human body and the distance sensor reaches within a distance threshold. The distance threshold may be 1 meter.

[0110] In this way, when the main control switch 34 of the shower is in the off state, the distance sensor detects the distance between the human body and the distance sensor in real time. When the user approaches the shower to take a shower, the distance between the human body and the distance sensor decreases, and when the distance is less than the distance threshold, the main control switch 34 automatically turns on. In this way, the user's operation of turning on the main control switch 34 by himself is reduced, thereby improving the user experience.

[0111] In an illustrative embodiment, the operation panel 8 further includes a plurality of indicator lights. The plurality of indicator lights are electrically connected to the circuit board 27. The plurality of indicator lights may be respectively arranged on a side of the plurality of touch control areas of the panel 81 close to the touch key switch 1b. The indicator lights are used to indicate the working state of the touch key switch 1b corresponding to the touch control area where the indicator lights are located.

[0112] The indicator light is configured to emit light at a first brightness when the working state of the touch key switch 1b corresponding to the touch control area where it is located is off, and to emit light at a second brightness when the working state of the touch key switch 1b corresponding to the touch control area where it is located is on, wherein the first brightness is less than the second brightness. The first brightness may be 20% of the maximum brightness of the indicator light, and the second brightness may be 100% of the maximum brightness of the indicator light.

[0113] In this way, the indicator light can indicate the working state of the corresponding touch key switch 1b by displaying different brightness. At the same time, when the touch key switch 1b is in the off state, the corresponding indicator light will continue to emit a weak light of the first brightness to illuminate the touch control area corresponding to the touch key switch 1b, so that the touch control area can be more conspicuous, and the user can quickly and accurately find the position of the touch control area.

[0114] In an illustrative embodiment, the shower further includes a main housing 1. The main housing 1 is provided with an inner cavity, and the front end and the top end of the main housing 1 are provided with openings. A panel 81 covers the openings at the front end and the top end of the main housing 1 and seals the openings.

[0115] The booster pump assembly 11 is disposed in the main housing 1, so that it is possible to avoid cutting grooves on the wall to install the booster pump assembly 11, thereby simplifying the installation difficulty of the shower and making the structure of the shower more integrated and simple.

[0116] The operating shaft of the temperature control valve body 62 extends out of the main housing 1 from the installation cavity. The temperature control handle assembly 5 is arranged on the outside of the main housing 1 and is connected to the portion of the operating shaft extending out of the main housing 1 .

[0117] In an illustrative embodiment, the shower further comprises a light strip assembly 2. The light strip assembly 2 is electrically connected to the driving board assembly 3. The light strip assembly 2 may be in a strip shape. The light strip assembly 2 may be an LED light strip. The light strip assembly 2 may be arranged at the front end of the main housing 1.

[0118] The light strip assembly 2 is configured to display a variety of different lighting effects, such as a constant light effect, a flashing light effect, a breathing light effect, a marquee light effect, an animation light effect, and a welcome light effect. The animation light effect can be repeatedly lit from the middle of the light strip assembly 2 to both sides, and then extinguished from the middle of the light strip assembly 2 to both sides. The light strip assembly 2 displays different lighting effects in different function switch scenes of the shower, for example, the animation light effect is displayed in the scene where the booster pump 111 is turned on, the constant light effect is displayed in the scene where the booster pump 111 is turned off, and the welcome light effect is displayed in the scene where the shower is turned on.

[0119] In an illustrative embodiment, the shower further includes a connecting pipe assembly 9. The connecting pipe assembly 9 includes a tube body 91. The cross-section of the outer contour of the tube body 91 may be square, circular, etc. The tube body 91 is arranged vertically. The bottom end of the tube body 91 is connected to the valve body 61.

The power cord 39 is passed through the wire passage 912, the bottom end of the power cord 39 is located in the installation cavity and connected to the driving board assembly 3 of the shower, and the top end of the power cord 39 extends out of the tube body 91 from the top end of the wire passage 912. A plug may be provided at the top end of the power cord 39.

[0122] In this way, the plug at the top of the power cord 39 can be plugged into the socket on the ceiling. At the same time, the power cord 39 located in the wire passage 912 of the tube body 91 and the main shell 1 is wrapped, so it will not get wet and cause leakage. Only the part of the power cord 39 extending from the top of the tube body 91 is exposed. This part of the power cord 39 is located higher than the top shower assembly 10 and is not easily wetted by water to cause leakage.

[0123] In an illustrative embodiment, the shower further comprises a mounting plate 7. The mounting plate 7 is used to be fixed on a wall. The mounting plate 7 can be detachably connected to the rear end of the main housing 1. The main housing 1 can be hung on the mounting plate 7. After the mounting plate 7 is fixed to the wall, the shower can be fixed on the wall by mounting the main housing 1 on the mounting plate 7. A first clearance opening is provided at the rear end of the main housing 1, and a second clearance opening aligned with the first clearance opening is provided on the mounting plate 7. The hot water supply pipe and the cold water supply pipe can extend into the main housing 1 through the first clearance opening on the main housing 1 and the second clearance opening on the mounting plate 7, and are respectively connected to the hot water inlet 35 and the cold water inlet 37 of the valve body. In an illustrative embodiment, the operation panel 8 further comprises a fixing plate 24, a plurality of sealing sleeves 25, an inner shell 26, a circuit board 27 and an outer shell plate 28. The panel 81 can include a front side plate 812 and a top plate 811. The front side plate 812 is provided at the front end of the top plate 811 and is connected to the top plate 811. The front side plate 812 is arranged at an angle. The front side plate 812 covers the front end opening of the main shell 1. The top plate 811 covers the top end opening of the main shell 1. The inner shell 26 is arranged as a box body. The circuit board 27 is arranged in the inner shell 26. The outer shell plate 28 is sleeved outside the inner shell 26.

The plurality of sealing sleeves 25 are respectively sleeved on the plurality of touch key switches 1b to seal the gap between the touch key switch 1b and the outer shell 28 and the gap between the touch key switch 1b and the inner shell 26 to prevent water from entering the inner shell 26. The fixing plate 24 is connected to the lower surface of the top plate 811 of the panel 81 (for example, bonded), and the fixing plate 24 is fixedly connected to the main shell 1 by means of snaps or the like.

[0124] In an exemplary embodiment, the operation panel further includes a pre-drain cold water switch. The shower further includes a temperature sensor, which is disposed on the main water path of the valve body 61 .

[0125] When the user presses the pre-drain cold water switch, the temperature sensor detects the temperature of the mixed water in the main water channel. When it is detected that the temperature of the mixed water is lower than the preset temperature, the second solenoid valve 13 is opened first, and then the lower water outlet solenoid valve 14 is opened to discharge the cold water in the hot water pipe through the lower water outlet water channel. When the mixed water temperature is greater than or equal to the preset temperature, the top spray solenoid valve 15 is opened to drain the cold water in the pipe body 9, and the hand-held shower solenoid valve 16 is opened to drain the cold water in the hand-held shower hose.

[0126] The user can adjust the water temperature by operating the temperature control handle assembly 5 to control the temperature control valve body 62 .

[0127] The user can turn on and off the main control switch 34 of the shower by touching the main control touch control area 23, thereby controlling the power on and off of the entire shower. The distance sensor can also measure the distance between the human body and the shower. When the distance between the human body and the shower is less than the distance threshold, the main control switch 34 automatically turns on, reducing the user's operation of turning on the main control switch 34 by themselves.

[0128] When the shower is not in use, the hand shower solenoid valve 16, the lower water outlet solenoid valve 14, the top spray solenoid valve 15 and the second solenoid valve 13 are all closed, and all the water outlet waterways and the main waterway are blocked. Since the booster pump 111 is arranged downstream of the second solenoid valve 13, the booster pump 111 does not need to bear water pressure when the second solenoid valve 13 is in a closed state, and the second solenoid valve 13 has a much higher ability to bear water pressure than the booster pump 111 and the second solenoid valve can bear pressure for a long time, so that the booster pump 111 can be prevented from being damaged by long-term pressure when the shower is not in use.

[0129] When the user touches the hand-held shower touch control area 20 to turn on the hand-held shower touch button switch 31, the hand-held shower touch button switch 31 controls the hand-held shower solenoid valve 16 and the second solenoid valve 13 to open, and cold water and hot water are respectively input into the valve body 61 from the cold water inlet 37 and the hot water inlet 35, and are respectively transported to the two water inlets of the temperature control valve body 62 through the cold water inlet waterway and the hot water inlet waterway, and the cold water and hot water are mixed in the temperature control valve body 62 according to the set proportion to form mixed water of the set temperature, and the mixed water is output from the water outlet of the temperature control valve body 62 to the second solenoid valve 13, and the mixed water flows through the second solenoid valve 13 and enters the booster pump 111, and is then transported to the hand-held shower solenoid valve 16 through the booster pump 111, and then is transported from the hand-held shower solenoid valve 16 to the hand-held shower outlet waterway, and then is transported to the hand-held shower by the hand-held shower outlet waterway and sprayed out from the hand-held shower.

[0130] When the user touches the handheld shower touch control area 20 again to turn off the handheld shower touch button switch 31, the handheld shower touch button switch 31 controls the handheld shower solenoid valve 16 and the second solenoid valve 13 to be closed, and the handheld shower stops discharging water.
