[0011] In some preferred or optional embodiments, a flow regulating bolt is provided at the water inlet of the mixing tank. The flow regulating bolt is rotatably and sealingly installed on the main body. The inner end of the flow regulating bolt is located inside the main body and cooperates with the water inlet. By rotating the flow regulating bolt, the cross-sectional area of the water flow through the water inlet is controlled. The outer end of the flow regulating bolt protrudes from the main body for manual operation.
[0012] In some preferred or optional embodiments, a fixed flow channel is provided on the flow regulating bolt. The water flow from the first outlet of the tee can flow into the water inlet of the mixing tank through the fixed flow channel.

The first tee outlet is directly connected to the tee inlet. The second tee outlet is connected to the tee inlet through a valve port.

When the solenoid valve opens the valve port, the water flow at the tee inlet flows through the valve port to the second tee outlet. At this time, clear water flows out from the water outlet interface, and the shower bubble machine is in the clear water mode. When the solenoid valve closes the valve port, the water at the tee inlet flows through the first tee outlet to the water inlet of the mixing tank, and bubble water with foam flows out from the water outlet interface. The shower bubble machine is in the bubble water mode. The solenoid valve is in the normally open state.

Detailed implementation mode
[0019] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention clearer and more understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.
[0020] Please refer to Figures 1 to 12 As shown, a shower foam machine according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a liquid storage bottle 10, a liquid pump 20, an air pump 30, a main body 40, a three - way pipe 50, a mixing tank 60, a solenoid valve 70, a switch 80, a control board 90, etc. Among them: The liquid storage bottle 10 is used to store cleaning agents, and the cleaning agents can be shower gel or shampoo, etc.; The liquid pump 20 has a liquid pump inlet 21 and a liquid pump outlet 22. The liquid pump inlet 21 is connected to the outlet 11 of the liquid storage bottle to extract the cleaning agent in the liquid storage bottle; The air pump 30 has an air outlet 31. The air pump 30 is used to provide compressed air to the mixing tank 60; The main body 40 has a water inlet interface 41 and a water outlet interface 42. The water inlet interface 41 is used to connect to a water source, and the water outlet interface 42 is used to connect to a shower head; The three - way pipe 50 is arranged on the main body 40 and has a three - way inlet 51, a first three - way outlet 52 and a second three - way outlet 53. The three - way inlet 51 is communicated with the water inlet interface 41, the second three - way outlet 53 is connected to the water outlet interface 42, the first three - way outlet 52 is directly connected to the three - way inlet 51, and the second three - way outlet 53 is connected to the three - way inlet 51 through a valve port 54; The mixing tank 60 is arranged on the main body 40 and has a mixing chamber 61, and a water inlet 62, an air inlet 63, a liquid inlet 64 and a bubble outlet 65 that are respectively communicated with the mixing chamber 61. The water inlet 62 is communicated with the first outlet 52 of the three-way valve, the air inlet 63 is communicated with the air outlet 31 of the air pump 30, the liquid inlet 64 is communicated with the liquid pump outlet 22, and the bubble outlet 65 is communicated with the water outlet interface 42. The solenoid valve 70 is used to control the opening and closing of the valve port 54. When the solenoid valve 70 opens the valve port 54, the water flow at the three-way inlet 51 flows through the valve port 54 to the second outlet 53 of the three-way valve, and clear water flows out from the water outlet interface 42, and the shower bubble machine is in the clear water mode. When the solenoid valve 70 closes the valve port 54, the water at the three-way inlet 51 flows through the first outlet 52 of the three-way valve to the water inlet 62 of the mixing tank 60, and bubble water with foam flows out from the water outlet interface 42, and the shower bubble machine is in the bubble water mode. The solenoid valve 70 is normally open. That is to say, in the case where the switch 80 is not triggered, the solenoid valve 70 is in the state of opening the valve port 54, and the shower bubble machine is in the clear water mode under normal conditions. After the switch 80 is triggered, the solenoid valve 70 switches to the state of closing the valve port 54, and the shower bubble machine switches to the bubble water mode. The control board 90 is electrically connected to the switch 80, the liquid pump 20, the air pump 30 and the solenoid valve 70. After receiving the signal that the switch 80 is triggered, the control board 90 controls the liquid pump 20 and the air pump 30 to start and controls the solenoid valve 70 to close.
[0021] Preferably, the liquid storage bottles 10 can include more than 2. Correspondingly, the number of the liquid pumps 20 and the switches 80 is the same as the number of the liquid storage bottles 10, and both are also set to more than 2. Each liquid storage bottle 10, liquid pump 20 and switch 80 are in one-to-one correspondence. When one of the switches 80 is triggered, the corresponding liquid pump 20 pumps the cleaning agent in the corresponding liquid storage bottle 10 to the mixing tank 60. Specifically, in this embodiment, two liquid storage bottles 10 are provided. One can be selected to store body wash, and the other can be selected to store shampoo.
[0022] Preferably, in this embodiment, the mixing chamber 61 includes a first mixing chamber 611 and a second mixing chamber 612 that are connected and communicate with each other. The water inlet 62 and the liquid inlet 64 are respectively arranged at opposite ends of the first mixing chamber 611, so that the water flow and the cleaning agent are flushed against each other in the first mixing chamber 611 to form a mixed liquid. The air inlet 63 and the bubble outlet 65 are respectively communicated with the second mixing chamber 612. The mixed liquid flows into the second mixing chamber 612 and is mixed with the air flowing in from the air inlet 63 to form foam. First, the water flow and the cleaning agent are flushed and mixed in the first mixing chamber 611, and the mixing effect is good. The mixed liquid after mixing further flows into the second mixing chamber 612 and then is mixed and foamed with the air flowing in from the air inlet 63. By mixing and foaming in stages like this, the foaming effect is better, which is beneficial to saving the cleaning agent and obtaining finer foam. In addition, a plurality of layers of foaming nets can be arranged at intervals along the bubble outlet direction in the second mixing chamber 612, which is more conducive to forming rich foam.
[0023] In order to prevent the fluid (including liquid and gas) in the mixing chamber 61 from flowing back into the liquid pump 20 and the air pump 30, check valves 66 are respectively arranged at the air inlet 63 and the liquid inlet 64 in the mixing tank 60. The check valve 66 can adopt an existing known structure as long as it can control the fluid to flow into the mixing chamber 61 unidirectionally from the pump.
[0024] In this embodiment, the main body 40 includes a water circuit board 43. The water circuit board 43 includes a lower board 431 and an upper board 432 that are fixedly connected. An inlet water chamber 433, a water passing chamber 434, and a bubble outlet chamber 435 are provided in the water circuit board 43 and are separated from each other. The upper board 432 is provided with a first interface 44, a second interface 45, and a third interface 46. The lower board 431 is provided with a water inlet interface 41 and a water outlet interface 42. The first interface 44 and the water inlet interface 41 are respectively communicated with the inlet water chamber 433. The second interface 45 and the water inlet 62 of the mixing tank 60 are respectively communicated with the water passing chamber 434. The third interface 46, the water outlet interface 42, and the bubble outlet 65 are respectively communicated with the bubble outlet chamber 435. The three-way inlet 51 is hermetically plugged and matched with the first interface 44, the three-way first outlet 52 is hermetically plugged and matched with the second interface 45, and the three-way second outlet 53 is hermetically plugged and matched with the third interface 46. In this way, the water circuit is integrally arranged through the water circuit board 43, and the whole water circuit structure is very compact, simple, and easy to manufacture and assemble.
[0025] In this embodiment, the third interface 46 and the water outlet interface 42 are arranged opposite to each other, and the axial projection of the water outlet interface 42 on the third interface 46 completely covers the third interface 46. With such a setting, on the basis of realizing that the water outlet interface 42 is simultaneously communicated with the third interface 46 and the bubble outlet chamber 435, it hardly affects the clear water from directly flowing into the water outlet interface 42 through the third interface 46 and then flowing out through the water outlet interface 42. The structure is simple and the design is ingenious.
[0026] In order to reduce the noise generated by the vibration of the liquid pump 20 during operation, in this embodiment, a cantilever beam 47 is provided on one side of the main body 40. At one end of the cantilever beam 47 away from the main body 40, a liquid pump mounting seat 23 for mounting the liquid pump 20 is provided. In this way, the liquid pump mounting seat 23 can be suspended by the cantilever beam 47. The vibration generated when the liquid pump 20 operates can only be conducted to the main body 40 through the cantilever beam 47, and the vibration amplitude is greatly reduced, which is beneficial to reducing the working noise of the liquid pump 20 and improving the user experience.
[0027] In order to further improve the user experience, in this embodiment, the foam concentration of the bubble water is designed to be adjustable, and it is specifically realized in the following way: a flow regulating bolt 621 is provided at the water inlet 62 of the mixing tank 60. The flow regulating bolt 621 is rotatably mounted on the main body 40 in a sealed manner. The inner end of the flow regulating bolt 621 is located inside the main body 40 and cooperates with the water inlet 62. By rotating the flow regulating bolt 621, the flow cross-sectional area of the water inlet 62 is controlled. The outer end of the flow regulating bolt 621 protrudes from the main body 40 for manual operation. In this way, by rotating the flow regulating bolt 621, the flow rate of the water for foaming can be adjusted. When the water flow rate is large, the foam is relatively sparse; when the water flow rate is small, the foam is relatively dense, so as to realize the adjustment of the foam concentration. The structure is very simple and the adjustment is very convenient.
[0028] More specifically, the inner wall surface of the water inlet 62 is designed as a conical surface, and the outer wall surface of the inner end of the flow regulating bolt 621 is also designed as a conical surface. The adjustment of the flow cross-sectional area of the water inlet 62 is realized through the cooperation of the two conical surfaces, and the adjustment is more reliable. In addition, in order to prevent the flow regulating bolt 621 from completely blocking the water inlet 62 and causing no bubbles to come out, in this embodiment, a fixed flow channel 6211 is provided on the flow regulating bolt 621. The water flow from the first outlet 52 of the tee can flow into the water inlet 62 of the mixing tank 60 through the fixed flow channel 6211. In this way, it can be ensured that when the shower bubble machine is in the bubble water mode, there is always water flowing into the mixing tank 60 through the water inlet 62 of the mixing tank 60.
[0029] In this embodiment, it also includes a housing 100 and a battery 110. The battery 110 is used to supply power to the control board 90. The liquid pump 20, the air pump 30, the main body 40, the tee pipe 50, the mixing tank 60, the solenoid valve 70, the control board 90 and the battery 110 are all arranged inside the housing 100. The switch 80 is arranged on the housing 100 and protrudes from the housing 100. The battery 110 is detachably installed in the battery cavity 1003 provided inside the housing 100. With such a design, the overall structure is very simple and compact, and the integrity of the shower bubble machine is better. It is directly powered by the built-in battery 110, so there is no need to connect to the mains power supply, and the use is more flexible.
[0030] In this embodiment, a connector 1001 is disposed through the top wall of the housing 100. The outer end of the connector 1001 is detachably connected to the outlet 11 of the liquid storage bottle, and the inner end of the connector 1001 is communicated with the liquid pump inlet 21 through a connecting pipe (not shown). An avoidance hole 1002 for the water inlet interface 41 and the water outlet interface 42 to pass through is provided on the bottom wall of the housing 100, and the opening of the battery chamber 1003 is disposed on the bottom wall of the housing 100. In this way, it is very convenient to disassemble and assemble the liquid storage bottle 10 and the battery 110. In addition, a knob 1004 is rotatably provided on the bottom wall of the housing 100. The knob 1004 is provided with an internal spline, and the outer end of the flow rate adjusting bolt 621 exposed from the main body 40 is provided with an external spline. Through the cooperation of the internal spline and the external spline, the knob 1004 can drive the flow rate adjusting bolt 621 to rotate, so that the flow rate of the water can be adjusted by driving the knob 1004 below the housing 100, and the operation is very convenient and simple.
[0031] The working process of this embodiment is briefly described as follows: Refer to Figure 9 , at this time, it is in the normal state, the switch 80 is not triggered, the solenoid valve 70 is in the state of opening the valve port 54, the water flow at the water inlet interface 41 passes through the water inlet chamber 433, the three-way inlet 51 and enters the three-way pipe 50, and directly flows from the second three-way outlet 53 to the water outlet interface 42, and then flows out the clear water through the water outlet interface 42. Refer to the water flow path shown by the dotted line with arrows in Figure 9 . During this process, the liquid pump 20 and the air pump 30 are not turned on, and no cleaning agent and air are transported for foaming.
[0032] Refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 , at this time, the user triggers the switch 80, the control board 90 receives the signal that the switch 80 is triggered, controls the liquid pump 20 and the air pump 30 to turn on, and controls the solenoid valve 70 to close. The water flow at the water inlet interface 41 passes through the water inlet chamber 433, the three-way inlet 51 and enters the three-way pipe 50, and flows out through the first three-way outlet 52 to the water passing chamber 434, and then flows through the water passing chamber 434 to the water inlet 62 of the mixing tank 60; at the same time, the cleaning agent from the liquid pump 20 enters the first mixing chamber 611 of the mixing tank 60 from the liquid inlet 64 of the mixing tank 60. Since the water inlet 62 and the liquid inlet 64 are oppositely arranged, the water flow and the cleaning agent form a countercurrent in the first mixing chamber 611 of the mixing tank 60, so that the water flow and the cleaning agent are evenly mixed to form a mixed liquid. The mixed mixed liquid further flows into the second mixing chamber 612 of the mixing tank 60 and is mixed with the air sent into the second mixing chamber 612 by the air pump 30 through the air inlet 63 to form foam. The foam formed flows out from the foam outlet 65 of the mixing tank 60, flows through the foam chamber 435 to the water outlet interface 42, and then flows out the bubble water through the water outlet interface 42. Refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11, where fresh water is represented by line type A1, cleaning agent is represented by line type A2, air is represented by line type A3, mixed liquid is represented by line type A4, and bubble water is represented by line type A5.
[0033] The shower bubble machine of the present invention is provided with a tee pipe and a solenoid valve. The tee pipe has a tee inlet, a first tee outlet, and a second tee outlet. The tee inlet is communicated with the water inlet interface, the second tee outlet is connected to the water outlet interface, the first tee outlet is directly connected to the tee inlet, and the second tee outlet is connected to the tee inlet through a valve port. Moreover, the first tee outlet is connected to the water inlet of the mixing tank; the solenoid valve is used to control the opening and closing of the valve port. When the solenoid valve opens the valve port, the water flow at the tee inlet flows through the valve port to the second tee outlet. At this time, fresh water flows out from the water outlet interface, and the shower bubble machine is in the fresh water mode; when the solenoid valve closes the valve port, the water at the tee inlet flows through the first tee outlet to the water inlet of the mixing tank, and bubble water with foam flows out from the water outlet interface, and the shower bubble machine is in the bubble water mode; the solenoid valve is in the normally open state, that is to say, in the case of not triggering the switch, the solenoid valve is in the state of opening the valve port, and the shower bubble machine is in the fresh water mode under normal conditions. After triggering the switch, the solenoid valve switches to the state of closing the valve port, and the shower bubble machine switches to the bubble water mode. Through the above ingenious structural design, only 1 solenoid valve needs to be set for water path switching control, and the structure is simple, compact and the cost is relatively low.
