Abstract

The present application relates to a shower head with water output angle control, i.e. a shower head having a first water inlet, a second water inlet and a plurality of nozzles. Each nozzle has a first nozzle inlet, a second nozzle inlet, a nozzle outlet, a first nozzle channel connecting the first nozzle inlet with the nozzle outlet, a second nozzle channel connecting the second nozzle inlet with the nozzle outlet. The first nozzle channel is arranged at an angle β to the second nozzle channel. A first closed space directly connects the first water inlet to the first nozzle inlet of each nozzle and a second closed space directly connects the second water inlet to the second nozzle inlet of each nozzle. The nozzles are configured such that the output angle a of the water flowing out of each nozzle outlet relative to an axis A through the nozzle depends on whether the water enters the nozzle from only the first nozzle inlet, only the second nozzle inlet, or from both nozzle inlets.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure generally relates to shower heads and methods for controlling the output angle of water flowing from the shower head. Background Technology

[0002] Shower heads that offer different flow patterns and spray modes are popular among users. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In existing shower heads, users can already choose between different flow patterns and spray modes. However, there is a need for a shower head that allows users to easily select between different output angles of the water flowing from the shower head.

[0004] A shower head may include a first water inlet, a second water inlet, and multiple nozzles. Each nozzle may have a first nozzle inlet, a second nozzle inlet, a nozzle outlet, a first nozzle channel, and a second nozzle channel, the first nozzle channel connecting the first nozzle inlet to the nozzle outlet, and the second nozzle channel connecting the second nozzle inlet to the nozzle outlet. The first nozzle channel may be arranged at an angle β (=β1+β2) to the second nozzle channel. A first enclosed space laterally arranged within the shower head allows the first water inlet to be directly connected to the first nozzle inlet of each nozzle, and a second enclosed space laterally arranged within the shower head allows the second water inlet to be directly connected to the second nozzle inlet of each nozzle. The nozzles may be configured such that the output angle α of the water flowing from each nozzle outlet relative to the axis A passing through the nozzle depends on whether the water enters the nozzle only from the first nozzle inlet, only from the second nozzle inlet, or from both nozzle inlets. This allows the user to easily select between different angles of water output from the nozzle, thereby selecting between different spray patterns.

[0005] In this embodiment, all nozzles are arranged such that one of the same nozzle channels is closer to the lower central region than the other of the same nozzle channels. When water is supplied only to the first inlet and thus to the first nozzle channel of all nozzles, the output angle of the water flowing from the shower head can be guided outward from the lower central region, thus forming a wide shower spray pattern. When water is supplied only to the second inlet and thus to the second nozzle channel of all nozzles, the output angle of the water flowing from the shower head can be guided inward toward the lower central region, thus forming a focused shower spray pattern. If water is supplied to both the first and second inlets, the water can instead flow out of the shower head in a substantially straight line.

[0006] In an embodiment, if water enters the nozzle only from the first nozzle inlet, the output angle α of the water flowing out of the nozzle outlet relative to the axis A through the nozzle substantially corresponds to the channel angle β1 of the first nozzle channel relative to the axis A through the nozzle; if water enters the nozzle only from the second nozzle inlet, the output angle α of the water flowing out of the nozzle outlet relative to the axis A through the nozzle substantially corresponds to the channel angle β2 of the second nozzle channel relative to the axis A through the nozzle; and if water enters the nozzle from both the first nozzle inlet and the second nozzle inlet, the output angle α of the water flowing out of the nozzle outlet relative to the axis A through the nozzle is less than both the channel angle β1 of the first nozzle channel and the channel angle β2 of the second nozzle channel.

[0007] In an embodiment, if water enters the nozzle from both the first nozzle inlet and the second nozzle inlet, the water flowing out of the nozzle outlet is substantially parallel to the axis A passing through the nozzle.

[0008] In one embodiment, each nozzle includes a diverter that separates a first nozzle channel and a second nozzle channel, ensuring that water entering the first nozzle inlet cannot enter the second nozzle channel, and vice versa. This ensures that water supplied to the first inlet does not contaminate water supplied to the second inlet, or vice versa.

[0009] In this embodiment, the shower head includes an upper layer, a middle layer, and a lower layer, with a first enclosed space formed between the upper and middle layers, and a second enclosed space formed between the middle and lower layers (or vice versa). Both the middle and lower layers can be disc-shaped. This facilitates the formation of the first enclosed space between the upper and middle layers, and the second enclosed space between the middle and lower layers (or vice versa). The different layers do not need to be separate structures; two or more of them can be integral, but each layer needs to extend laterally across the shower head so that the first and second enclosed spaces can connect the first and second water inlets to the first and second nozzle inlets of all nozzles having two inlets. The shower head may also have more layers.

[0010] In this embodiment, the first nozzle inlet is integrated into the intermediate layer, and the second nozzle inlet is integrated into the lower layer (or vice versa). This is a convenient way to connect the first nozzle inlet to the first enclosed space and the second nozzle inlet to the second enclosed space (or vice versa). The splitter can be integrated into either the intermediate or lower layer.

[0011] The shower system may include the shower head and diverter device described above. The diverter device may be configured to be controllable to direct water to a first inlet, a second inlet, or both inlets.

[0012] In one embodiment, the diverter device is integrated into the shower head and is arranged to be controlled by a mechanism disposed on the shower head. Alternatively, the diverter device may be arranged remotely from the shower head. In another embodiment, the diverter device may be a digital valve in a shower control system.

[0013] A method for controlling the output angle of water flowing from a shower head in a bathing system may include: arranging a plurality of nozzles in the shower head, wherein each nozzle is configured to have: a first nozzle inlet; a second nozzle inlet; a nozzle outlet; a first nozzle channel connecting the first nozzle inlet to the nozzle outlet; and a second nozzle channel arranged at an angle β (=β1+β2) to the first nozzle channel and connecting the second nozzle inlet to the nozzle outlet; arranging the shower head to have a first enclosed space laterally arranged within the shower head; arranging the shower head to have a second enclosed space laterally arranged within the shower head; arranging the first enclosed space to directly connect a first water inlet of the shower head to the first nozzle inlet of each nozzle; arranging the second enclosed space to directly connect a second water inlet of the shower head to the second nozzle inlet of each nozzle; and controlling a diverter device of the bathing system to allow water to flow from the first water inlet into the shower head, thereby flowing into the first nozzle inlet, and / or from the second water inlet into the second nozzle inlet. The output angle α of the water flowing from each nozzle outlet relative to the axis A passing through the nozzle can depend on whether the water enters the nozzle only from the first nozzle inlet, only from the second nozzle inlet, or from both nozzle inlets. This allows the user to easily select between different angles of water output from the nozzles, thereby selecting between different spray patterns.

[0014] In an embodiment, the method further includes arranging all the nozzles in the shower head such that one of the same nozzle channels is closer to the lower central region than the other of the same nozzle channels. When water is supplied only to the first inlet and thus to the first nozzle channel of all the nozzles, the output angle of the water flowing out of the shower head is directed outward from the lower central region, thus forming a wide shower spray pattern. When water is supplied only to the second inlet and thus to the second nozzle channel of all the nozzles, the output angle of the water flowing out of the shower head is directed inward toward the lower central region, thus forming a focused shower spray pattern. If water is supplied to both the first and second inlets, the water can instead flow out of the shower head in a substantially straight line.

[0015] In an embodiment, if water enters the nozzle only from the first nozzle inlet, the output angle α of the water flowing out of the nozzle outlet relative to the axis A passing through the nozzle substantially corresponds to the channel angle β1 of the first nozzle channel relative to the axis A passing through the nozzle. If water enters the nozzle only from the second nozzle inlet, the output angle α of the water flowing out of the nozzle outlet relative to the axis A passing through the nozzle substantially corresponds to the channel angle β2 of the second nozzle channel relative to the axis A passing through the nozzle. If water enters the nozzle from both the first and second nozzle inlets, the output angle α of the water flowing out of the nozzle outlet relative to the axis A passing through the nozzle is less than both the channel angle β1 of the first nozzle channel and the channel angle β2 of the second nozzle channel. However, if the pressure of the water supplied to either of the nozzle inlets is low, gravity can affect the output angle.

[0016] In an embodiment, if water enters the nozzle from both the first nozzle inlet and the second nozzle inlet, the water flowing out of the nozzle outlet is substantially parallel to the axis A passing through the nozzle. This occurs at least if the channel angle β1 and the channel angle β2 are substantially the same, and the pressure of the water supplied to the first nozzle inlet is substantially the same as the pressure of the water supplied to the second nozzle inlet.

[0017] In an embodiment, the method further includes forming a first enclosed space between the upper and middle layers of the shower head, and a second enclosed space between the middle and lower layers of the shower head (or vice versa). The method may further include arranging both the middle and lower layers in a disc shape. This facilitates the formation of the first enclosed space between the upper and middle layers, and the second enclosed space between the middle and lower layers (or vice versa). The different layers do not need to be separate structures; two or more of them can be integral, but each layer needs to extend laterally across the shower head such that the first and second enclosed spaces can connect the first and second water inlets to the first and second nozzle inlets of all nozzles having two inlets. The shower head may also have more layers.

[0018] In an embodiment, the method further includes arranging each nozzle to include a diverter that separates a first nozzle channel and a second nozzle channel, and ensuring that water entering the first nozzle inlet cannot enter the second nozzle channel, and water entering the second nozzle inlet cannot enter the first nozzle channel. This ensures that water supplied to the first inlet does not contaminate water supplied to the second inlet, or vice versa.

[0019] In one embodiment, the method further includes integrating a first nozzle inlet into an intermediate layer and integrating a second nozzle inlet into a lower layer. This is a convenient way to connect the first nozzle inlet to a first enclosed space and the second nozzle inlet to a second enclosed space. The splitter can be integrated into either the intermediate or lower layer.

[0020] In one embodiment, both the first enclosed space and the second enclosed space are substantially parallel to the bottom layer of the shower head through which the nozzle extends.

[0021] The shower head may additionally have other nozzles that do not have a first nozzle inlet and a second nozzle inlet connected to the first water inlet and the second water inlet.

[0031] In existing shower heads, users can already choose between different flow patterns and spray modes. However, there is a need for a shower head that allows users to easily select between different output angles of the water flowing from the shower head.

[0032] This disclosure generally relates to shower heads and methods for controlling the output angle of water flowing from the shower head. Embodiments of the disclosed solution are presented in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] exist Figure 1 , Figures 2a to 2b and Figures 3a to 3b The diagram illustrates an exemplary shower head 100. Multiple nozzles 200 are arranged in the shower head 100. Figures 4a to 4b , Figures 5a to 5b and Figures 6a to 6c The diagram illustrates exemplary layers 130, 140, 150, and nozzle 200 of the exemplary shower head 100. Figures 3a to 3b As shown, the nozzle 200 is directly connected to the first water inlet 310 via a first enclosed space 110 arranged laterally within the shower head 100, and directly connected to the second water inlet 320 via a second enclosed space 120 also arranged laterally within the shower head 100. Both the first enclosed space 100 and the second enclosed space 120 are substantially parallel to the bottom layer 150 of the shower head through which the nozzle extends.

[0034] In the illustrated embodiment, the bottom layer is the lower layer 150, and the nozzles are arranged in the lower layer 150. For example... Figures 6a to 6c As illustrated, each nozzle has a first nozzle inlet 210, a second nozzle inlet 220, a nozzle outlet 230, a first nozzle channel 240, and a second nozzle channel 250, wherein the first nozzle channel 240 connects the first nozzle inlet 210 to the nozzle outlet 230, and the second nozzle channel 250 connects the second nozzle inlet 220 to the nozzle outlet 230.

[0035] In the illustrated nozzle 200, the first nozzle channel 240 is arranged at an angle β (=β1+β2) to the second nozzle channel 250. The nozzle 200 is configured such that the output angle α of water flowing from each nozzle outlet 230 relative to the axis A passing through the nozzle 200 depends on whether the water enters the nozzle 200 only from the first nozzle inlet 210, only from the second nozzle inlet 220, or from both nozzle inlets 210 and 220.

[0036] If water enters the nozzle 200 only from the first nozzle inlet 210, the output angle α of the water flowing out from the nozzle outlet 230 relative to the axis A passing through the nozzle 200 essentially corresponds to the channel angle β1 of the first nozzle channel 240 relative to the axis A passing through the nozzle 200. However, if the pressure of the water supplied to the first nozzle inlet 210 is low, the output angle will be smaller due to gravity.

[0037] If water enters the nozzle 200 only from the second nozzle inlet 220, the output angle α of the water flowing out from the nozzle outlet 230 relative to the axis A passing through the nozzle 200 essentially corresponds to the channel angle β2 of the second nozzle channel 250 relative to the axis A passing through the nozzle 200. However, if the pressure of the water supplied to the second nozzle inlet 220 is low, the output angle will be smaller due to gravity.

[0038] If water enters the nozzle 200 from both the first nozzle inlet 210 and the second nozzle inlet 220, the output angle α of the water flowing out of the nozzle outlet 230 relative to the axis A passing through the nozzle 200 is less than both the channel angle β1 of the first nozzle channel 240 and the channel angle β2 of the second nozzle channel 250. If the channel angles β1 and β2 are substantially the same, and the pressure of the water supplied to the first nozzle inlet 210 is substantially the same as the pressure of the water supplied to the second nozzle inlet 220, then the water flowing out of the nozzle outlet 230 will be substantially parallel to the axis A passing through the nozzle 200.

[0039] like Figure 5a and Figures 6a to 6c As shown, the diverter 260 can be arranged between the first nozzle channel 240 and the second nozzle channel 250 to ensure that water entering the first nozzle inlet 210 cannot enter the second nozzle channel 250, and water entering the second nozzle inlet 220 cannot enter the first nozzle channel 240. This ensures that water supplied to the first inlet 310 will not contaminate water supplied to the second inlet 320, or vice versa. The diverter 260 can be integrated into the intermediate layer 140 or the lower layer 150.

[0040] To control the output angle of the water flowing from the shower head 100, all nozzles 200 can be arranged such that one of the same nozzle channels 240, 250 is closer to the center region 270 of the lower layer 150 than the other of the same nozzle channels 240, 250. In such a way... Figure 5a and Figures 6a to 6cIn the illustrated embodiment, the first nozzle channel 240 of all nozzles 200 is closer to the center region 270 of the lower layer 150 than the second nozzle channel 250 of all nozzles 200. When water is supplied only to the first inlet 310 and thus to the first nozzle channel 240 of all nozzles 200, the output angle of the water flowing from the shower head 100 will be guided outward from the center region 270 of the lower layer 150, thereby forming a wide shower spray pattern, such as... Figure 7a As shown. When water is supplied only to the second inlet 320 and thus to the second nozzle channel 250 of all nozzles 200, the output angle of the water flowing from the shower head 100 will be guided inward toward the central area 270 of the lower layer 150, thereby forming a focused shower spray pattern, as shown. Figure 7b As shown. If water is supplied to both the first inlet 310 and the second inlet 320, then instead, water can flow out of the shower head 100 in a substantially straight line, as... Figure 7c As shown.

[0041] In the illustrated embodiment, all three layers 130, 140, and 150 are disc-shaped, with a first enclosed space 110 formed between the upper layer 130 and the middle layer 140, and a second enclosed space 120 formed between the middle layer 140 and the lower layer 150. However, the reverse is also possible (and layers 130, 140, and 150 need not be disc-shaped). The different layers 130, 140, and 150 need not be separate structures; two or more of them can be integral. However, each layer 130, 140, and 150 needs to extend laterally across the shower head 100 so that the first enclosed space 110 and the second enclosed space 120 can connect the first inlet 310 and the second inlet 320 to the first nozzle inlet 210 and the second nozzle inlet 220 of all nozzles 200 having two inlets 210 and 220. The shower head 100 may also have more layers.

[0042] like Figure 5a As shown, the first nozzle inlet 210 can be integrated into the intermediate layer 140, and the second nozzle inlet 220 can be integrated into the lower layer 150.

[0043] In the illustrated embodiment, the first enclosed space 110 connects the first inlet 310 directly to the first nozzle inlet 210 of each nozzle 200, and the second enclosed space 120 connects the second inlet 320 directly to the second nozzle inlet 220 of each nozzle 200, but of course, the reverse is also possible.

[0044] The shower head 100 may additionally have other nozzles that do not have a first nozzle inlet 210 and a second nozzle inlet 220 connected to the first water inlet 310 and the second water inlet 320.

[0045] The shower head 100 may be part of a shower system that also includes a diverter device. The diverter device may be configured to be controllable to direct water to a first inlet 310, a second inlet 320, or both inlets 310 and 320. Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the diverter device is integrated into the shower head 100 and controlled by a slider mechanism 350 disposed on the shower head 100. An example of such a diverter device is disclosed in U.S. Patent Application No. 63 / 619,241. Alternatively, the diverter device may be arranged remotely from the shower head. In embodiments, the diverter device may be a digital valve in a shower control system.

[0046] Figure 7 schematically illustrates a method 400 for controlling the output angle of water flowing from a shower head 100 in a shower system. The method 400 may include: Step 410: Arrange a plurality of nozzles 200 in the shower head 100. Each nozzle 200 may be configured to have: a first nozzle inlet 210; a second nozzle inlet 220; a nozzle outlet 230; a first nozzle channel 240 that connects the first nozzle inlet 210 to the nozzle outlet 230; and a second nozzle channel 250 that is arranged at an angle β (=β1+β2) to the first nozzle channel 240 and connects the second nozzle inlet 220 to the nozzle outlet 230.

[0047] Step 450: Arrange the shower head 100 to have a first enclosed space 110 arranged laterally within the shower head 100. The first enclosed space 110 may be substantially parallel to the bottom layer 150 of the shower head, through which the nozzle 200 extends.

[0048] Step 460: Arrange the shower head 100 to have a second enclosed space 120 arranged laterally within the shower head 100. The second enclosed space 120 may be substantially parallel to the bottom layer 150 of the shower head, through which the nozzle 200 extends.

[0049] Step 470: Arrange the first enclosed space 110 to directly connect the first water inlet 310 of the shower head 100 to the first nozzle inlet 210 of each nozzle 200.

[0050] Step 480: Arrange the second enclosed space 120 to directly connect the second inlet 320 of the shower head 100 to the second nozzle inlet 220 of each nozzle 200.

[0051] Step 490: Control the diverter device of the shower system to allow water to flow into the first inlet 310, thereby flowing into the first nozzle inlet 210, and / or into the second inlet 320, thereby flowing into the second nozzle inlet 220. The output angle α of the water flowing out of each nozzle outlet 230 relative to the axis A passing through the nozzle 200 depends on whether the water enters the nozzle 200 only from the first nozzle inlet 210, only from the second nozzle inlet 220, or from both nozzle inlets 210 and 220.

[0052] This allows users to easily select between different angles of water output from nozzle 200, thus enabling them to choose between different spray modes.

[0053] In this embodiment, if water enters the nozzle 200 only from the first nozzle inlet 210, the output angle α of the water flowing out of the nozzle outlet 230 relative to the axis A passing through the nozzle 200 substantially corresponds to the channel angle β1 of the first nozzle channel 240 relative to the axis A passing through the nozzle 200; if water enters the nozzle 200 only from the second nozzle inlet 220, the output angle α of the water flowing out of the nozzle outlet 230 relative to the axis A passing through the nozzle 200 substantially corresponds to the channel angle β2 of the second nozzle channel 250 relative to the axis A passing through the nozzle 200; and if water enters the nozzle 200 from both the first nozzle inlet 310 and the second nozzle inlet 320, the output angle α of the water flowing out of the nozzle outlet 230 relative to the axis A passing through the nozzle 200 is an angle between the channel angle β1 of the first nozzle channel 240 and the channel angle β2 of the second nozzle channel 250. However, if the pressure of the water supplied to either of the nozzle inlets is low, gravity can affect the output angle.

[0054] In an embodiment, if water enters the nozzle 200 from both the first nozzle inlet 210 and the second nozzle inlet 220, the water flowing out of the nozzle outlet 230 is substantially parallel to the axis A passing through the nozzle 200. This occurs at least if the channel angle β1 and the channel angle β2 are substantially the same, and the pressure of the water supplied to the first nozzle inlet 210 is substantially the same as the pressure of the water supplied to the second nozzle inlet 220.

[0055] Method 400 may further include one or more of the following: Step 420: Arrange the middle layer 140 and the lower layer 150 in a disc shape. This makes it easy to form a first enclosed space 110 between the upper layer 130 and the middle layer 140, and a second enclosed space 120 between the middle layer 140 and the lower layer 150.

[0056] Step 430: Integrate the first nozzle inlet 210 into the intermediate layer 140. This is a convenient way to connect the first nozzle inlet 210 to the first enclosed space 110. The splitter 260 can also be integrated into the intermediate layer 140.

[0057] Step 435: Integrate the second nozzle inlet 220 into the lower layer 150. This is a convenient way to connect the second nozzle inlet 220 to the second enclosed space 220. The diverter 260 can alternatively be integrated into the lower layer 150.

[0058] Step 440: Arrange all nozzles 200 in the shower head, wherein one of the identical nozzle channels 240, 250 is closer to the center region 270 of the lower layer 150 than the other of the identical nozzle channels 240, 250. When water is supplied only to the first inlet 310 and thus to the first nozzle channel 210 of all nozzles 200, the output angle of the water flowing out of the shower head 100 is guided outward from the center region 270 of the lower layer 150, thus forming a wide shower spray pattern. When water is supplied only to the second inlet 320 and thus to the second nozzle channel 220 of all nozzles 200, the output angle of the water flowing out of the shower head 100 is guided inward toward the center region 270 of the lower layer 150, thus forming a focused shower spray pattern. If water is supplied to both the first inlet 310 and the second inlet 320, the water can instead flow out of the shower head 100 in a substantially straight line.

[0059] Step 445: Arrange the diverter 260 between the first nozzle channel 240 and the second nozzle channel 250 such that water entering the first nozzle inlet 210 cannot enter the second nozzle channel 250, and water entering the second nozzle inlet 220 cannot enter the first nozzle channel 240. This ensures that water supplied to the first inlet 310 does not contaminate water supplied to the second inlet 320, or vice versa.

[0060] Step 455: A first enclosed space 110 is formed between the upper layer 130 and the middle layer 140 of the shower head 100.

[0061] Step 465: A second enclosed space 120 is formed between the middle layer 140 and the lower layer 150 of the shower head 100.

[0062] The different layers 130, 140, and 150 do not need to be separate structures; two or more of them can be integrated. However, each layer 130, 140, and 150 needs to extend laterally across the shower head 100 so that the first enclosed space 110 and the second enclosed space 120 can connect the first water inlet 310 and the second water inlet 320 to the first nozzle inlet 210 and the second nozzle inlet 220 of all nozzles 200 having two inlets 210 and 220. The shower head 100 may also have more layers.

[0063] The above steps can be performed in any technically significant order. Some steps can also be performed simultaneously with each other.

[0064] The foregoing disclosure is not intended to limit the invention to the precise forms disclosed or to any particular field of use. Various alternative embodiments and / or modifications of the invention, whether expressly described or implied herein, are expected to be possible based on this disclosure.
