[0002] The shower body is also called the shower faucet body, which is a water mixing control device connected to the shower head. The Chinese utility model patent with patent announcement number CN220523354U discloses a faucet switch for a shower head, which includes a faucet body, on which a mixing valve, a cold water inlet channel, a hot water inlet channel and at least two outlet channels are provided, the water inlet end of the mixing valve is respectively connected to the cold water inlet channel and the hot water inlet channel, the water outlet end of the mixing valve is connected to each outlet channel, each outlet channel is respectively provided with a switch valve (also called a control valve core), each switch valve is respectively connected to a control button, and as shown in the attached figure of the specification, the control button is provided on the front side of the faucet body. This shower body with multiple control buttons has been popular in recent years and has a large sales volume.

[0003] However, this structure in which the control buttons are arranged on the front side of the shower body is prone to being accidentally touched by the body or the shower hose during use. This accidental touch may cause the water to be output at a different outlet (for example, when using a hand-spray shower, water is suddenly found to be sprayed down from the overhead shower head), affecting use. The corresponding control buttons need to be restored to the corresponding positions. Some consumers are not used to this, and therefore the control buttons are arranged on the bottom surface of the shower body, where they are not easily touched during use.

[0004] When the control button is arranged on the bottom surface of the shower body, in order to facilitate the connection between the control button and the control valve core, since the control valve core is usually arranged horizontally in the faucet body, the transmission connection structure between the control button and the control valve core needs to be improved to avoid the control button from getting stuck. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a shower body button structure, which can smoothly press the control button from the bottom surface of the shower body, and the control button is not prone to getting stuck.

[0025] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0026] See also Figure 1-7As shown, a shower body button structure comprises a housing 1, a panel 2, a valve body 3 and a button switch 4; the valve body 3 is arranged in the housing 1, and a control valve core 5 for controlling the switching of the water channel inside the valve body 3 is provided in the valve body 3, and the button switch 4 comprises at least two, and three are arranged in this embodiment, and the three button switches 4 are installed side by side on the bottom surface of the housing 1 near the back of the panel 2 through a mounting bracket 6; each of the button switches 4 is provided with a right-angle transmission conversion mechanism connected to a control rod in the horizontally installed control valve core 5, and the right-angle transmission conversion mechanism converts the up and down movement of the button switch 4 into a front and back horizontal movement for controlling the control rod connected to the control valve core 5. The right-angle transmission conversion mechanism in the key switch 4 includes a key body 41 and a key slider 42. The key slider 42 is fixedly connected to the control rod of the control valve core 5 by screws 7. The two sides of the key slider 42 are provided with inclined guide grooves 421. The angle between the guide grooves 421 and the horizontal line is 55°-65°, preferably 60°; the key body 41 includes a key plate 411, two side plates 412 and two inclined push blocks 413. The two side plates 412 are arranged on the key plate 411. The two inclined push blocks 413 are respectively arranged on the inner sides of the two side plates 412. The inclined push blocks 413 are respectively embedded in the guide grooves 421 to push the key slider 42 to move horizontally back and forth.

[0027] The mounting bracket 6 is fixed to the valve body 3, and a guide square hole 61 is provided in the mounting bracket 6. The button body 41 is slidably arranged in the guide square hole 61 through the side plate 412 and can slide back and forth along the guide square hole 61. U-shaped extension guide plates 62 are respectively provided on the mounting bracket 6 on both sides of the guide square hole 61, and the extension guide plates 62 guide the side plates 412 to slide back and forth up and down. A guide enclosure 63 is provided on the lower side of the mounting bracket 6, and the guide enclosure 63 guides the button plate 411 to slide back and forth up and down.

[0028] When in use, first turn on the main switch in the shower body, then turn the temperature adjustment knob, and the hot and cold water will mix and flow to different water outlets through the control valve core 5. When the button body 41 in the button switch 4 is pressed upward, the button body 41 moves upward and cooperates with the guide slide groove 421 through the inclined push block 413 to squeeze the button slider 42; because the button slider 42 is fixed on the control rod of the control valve core 5, it can only push the control rod horizontally, so as to open the control valve core 5, and water will be retained from the corresponding water outlet; when the button body 41 is pressed again, the control valve core 5 closes the water outlet, and the control rod rebounds to drive the button slider 42 to move in the opposite direction, generating a downward thrust on the button body 41, so that the button body 41 is reset.

[0029] The above description is only a specific implementation method of the utility model, and does not limit the patent scope of the utility model. Any equivalent structural transformation made using the contents of the utility model specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly used in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the utility model.
