[0036] 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 is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0037] See also Figures 1 to 5 A hydraulic switch top spray, comprising a top spray body 1, a switch component 2 and a hydraulic drive component 3, wherein:

[0038] The top shower body 1 is provided with a water inlet channel 11 , a mounting cavity 12 , a water passage 13 and a water outlet channel 14 .

[0039] The water inlet channel 11 forms a water inlet joint at the periphery or top of the top shower. Preferably, the water inlet joint adopts a swinging ball head structure, which can flexibly adjust the water outlet direction, and the other end of the water inlet channel 11 is connected to the water inlet of the installation cavity 12.

[0040] The installation cavity 12 is provided with a water hole 15 connected to the water channel 13. There are at least two water outlet channels 14, and the switching component 2 is movably installed at the water outlet end of the water channel 13. The water channel 13 is connected to any water outlet channel 14 through the switching component 2, so that different water splashes can be produced. The hydraulic drive component 3 is movably installed in the installation cavity 12, blocking or opening the water hole 15, and one end faces the water inlet of the installation cavity 12, and the other end is connected to the switching component 2. When in use, water passes through the water inlet channel 11, and the hydraulic drive component 3 is driven by hydraulic power, and drives the switching component 2 to switch the water channel 13 connected to the water outlet channel 14, and open the water hole 15, so as to realize the switching of water outlet of the top spray. When the water inlet channel 11 stops flowing, the hydraulic drive component 3 resets and blocks the water hole 15.

[0041] In one embodiment, the water inlet end of each of the water outlet channels 14 forms an annularly distributed water inlet hole 16 inside the top shower body 1. The switching assembly 2 includes a water divider plate 21, which is rotatably installed and covers each of the water inlet holes 16, and the water divider plate 21 is provided with a water divider hole 211. The hydraulic drive assembly 3 drives the water divider plate 21 to rotate through hydraulic action, and the water divider hole 211 is sequentially connected with each of the water inlet holes 16, thereby switching the water outlet state of the top shower in sequence. In addition, in order to simplify the structure and reduce the difficulty of forming the installation cavity 12, a coaxial rotating disk 22 is provided on the top of the water divider plate 21, and the rotating disk 22 forms a partition between the installation cavity 12 and the water passage 13, and a Y-shaped sealing ring is provided between the rotating disk 22 and the peripheral wall of the installation cavity 12.

[0042] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, a pressing and rotating structure is adopted between the hydraulic driving assembly 3 and the water diversion plate 21 . Preferably, the pressing and rotating structure includes a guide groove 231 and a driving block 31 .

[0043] Specifically, a coaxial rotating shaft 23 is provided at the top of the water diversion plate 21, and the guide groove 231 includes a plurality of inclined grooves 2311 and vertical grooves 2312, and the inclined grooves 2311 and vertical grooves 2312 are sequentially connected end to end and arranged at the periphery of the rotating shaft 23 to form a complete and cyclic guide groove 231. In addition, the top of the inclined groove 2311 is located at the top of the top of the vertical groove 2312, and is shallower than the top of the vertical groove 2312, forming a first non-return step 2313. The bottom of the vertical groove 2312 is located at the side of the bottom of the inclined groove 2311, and is shallower than the bottom of the inclined groove 2311, forming a second non-return step 2314. The driving block 31 is arranged at the bottom of the hydraulic driving assembly 3 and inserted into the guide groove 231.

[0044] When water flows, the hydraulic drive assembly 3 drives the drive block 31 to move in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 23 through hydraulic force. The drive block 31 squeezes and drives the rotating shaft 23 to rotate along the inclined groove 2311 from the first check step 2313 and enters the second check step 2314. At this time, the water diversion plate 21 completes a rotation switching action.

[0045] When the water inlet channel 11 stops flowing, the hydraulic drive assembly 3 is reset and drives the drive block 31 to reset. The drive block 31 moves from the second check step 2314 along the vertical groove 2312 and enters the first check step 2313 to prepare for the next switching action.

[0046] On the basis of the above embodiments, in one embodiment, there are at least two driving blocks 31, which are evenly distributed around the rotating shaft 23, and can provide uniform extrusion force for the rotating shaft 23. The hydraulic drive assembly 3 includes a pressing cap 32, which is telescopically mounted in the installation cavity 12, with the top facing the water inlet end of the installation cavity 12, and the bottom connected to the driving block 31. In the water-flowing state, the top of the pressing cap 32 can move along the installation cavity 12 under the push of water. Preferably, an arc-shaped elastic arm 33 is provided at the bottom of the pressing cap 32, and the driving block 31 is arranged on the inner side of the end of the elastic arm 33, so that the driving block 31 has a certain deformation ability, which is conducive to the driving block 31 entering the guide groove 231 when the pressing cap 32 and the rotating shaft 23 are assembled together.

[0047] In addition, the hydraulic drive assembly 3 also includes a spring 34, which is pressed and arranged at the bottom of the pressing cap 32 to provide a reset force for the pressing cap 32. Preferably, a guide rod extending upward and passing through the water diversion plate 21 and the rotating shaft 23 is provided at the center of the ring formed by each of the water inlet holes 16, and a limiting boss is provided at the top of the guide rod. The bottom of the pressing cap 32 is provided with a guide hole sleeved on the outside of the guide rod, and the spring 34 is pressed and arranged in the guide hole, and the bottom end is sleeved on the limiting boss. In this embodiment, the cross-section of a section of the limiting boss docking with the pressing cap is square, and the guide hole of the pressing cap is also square, so as to ensure that the pressing cap will not rotate but only move up and down.

[0048] The utility model provides a switching piece inside the overhead showerhead and a hydraulic drive assembly 3 driven by water power, so that the overhead showerhead not only has a water outlet switching function, but also the switching function is independent of the shower controller. An ordinary or original shower controller can be used, and only one water inlet pipe can be installed without modifying the original shower controller and shower pipe.

[0049] The utility model is described above by way of example in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is obvious that the specific implementation of the utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned method. As long as various non-substantial improvements are made using the method concept and technical solution of the utility model, or the concept and technical solution of the utility model are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the protection scope of the utility model.
