In addition, the operating end of the shower head is mostly set on the side of the water outlet cover, which affects the overall aesthetics of the shower head. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model discloses a combined shower head, aiming to improve the problems of inconvenience in switching of existing combined shower heads and influence of the switching end design on the overall aesthetics.

[0004] The utility model adopts the following scheme:

[0005] A combined shower head comprises a bracket, a fixed shower head fixedly connected to the bracket, and a handheld shower head detachably arranged on the bracket; the bracket is fixed to a wall and comprises a water inlet channel, a first water path, a second water path and an electronic switching structure, the water inlet channel is communicated with a water inlet pipe, the first water path is communicated with the fixed shower head, and the second water path is communicated with the handheld shower head; the electronic switching structure comprises a control member, a motor, a drive disk and a water diversion disk, the water diversion disk is arranged in a water diversion cavity, the water diversion cavity has a first water outlet communicated with the first water path and a second water outlet communicated with the second water path, the electronic switching structure is configured to remotely trigger the control member through a remote controller or trigger the control member via a button on the handheld shower head to drive the motor to rotate, thereby linking the drive disk to drive the water diversion disk to rotate, so that the water diversion hole on the water diversion disk is connected or disconnected from the water outlet, thereby realizing water path switching.

[0006] As a further improvement, the water outlet end of the water inlet channel is connected to the water diversion chamber, and the electronic switching structure includes a flow axis, one end of which is arranged in the water inlet channel, and the other end is configured to be driven to move by the driving part on the driving disk to adjust the water flow area; wherein, the driving disk is constructed to be driven by a motor to link the water diversion disk to rotate and divert water, and can continue to rotate while maintaining the water outlet state to prompt the driving part to abut or move away from the flow axis to adjust the water outlet flow, thereby realizing independent control of water diversion and flow.

[0007] As a further improvement, a first switch and a second switch are arranged along the circumferential direction of the driving disk, and each switch is electrically connected to the control component. A first trigger part, a second trigger part and a third trigger part are arranged on the outer wall of the driving disk. The first switch can only match the first trigger part and the third trigger part, and the second switch can only match the second trigger part and the third trigger part. When the switch matches the trigger part, the signal is transmitted to the control component, thereby forming a water outlet state of the first water channel, the second water channel and the two water channels outlet at the same time.

[0008] As a further improvement, the triggering portion is arranged in a groove or a protrusion.

[0009] As a further improvement, a plurality of driving parts are extended outwardly from the outer circumference of the driving disk. The driving parts are cam-shaped and are arranged in a staggered manner with respect to each triggering part.

[0012] As a further improvement, a water passing section is provided on the flow shaft, and the water passing section includes a large end and a small end. When the driving part drives the flow shaft to move, the large end faces the water passing hole, and the water inlet area is the smallest at this time; when the driving part is away from the flow shaft, the flow shaft moves under the action of the elastic part so that the small end faces the water passing hole, and the water inlet area is the largest at this time.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the utility model can achieve the following technical effects:

[0016] 1. This application sets an electronic switching structure and uses a remote control to trigger the control component or press a button on the handheld shower to trigger the control component, so that the position of the operating end of the combination shower is more flexible and convenient for different user groups. At the same time, it can avoid setting the operating end on the fixed shower, which affects the overall appearance of the fixed shower.

[0017] 2. The motor drives the drive disc to rotate, so that the drive disc can rotate and divide the water in conjunction with the water distribution disc, and can continue to rotate in the same water outlet state to move the flow axis, so as to achieve separate control of waterway switching and flow regulation.

[0042] Example

[0043] Combination Figures 1 to 14 The present embodiment provides a combined shower head, comprising a bracket 8, a fixed shower head 9 fixedly connected to the bracket 8, and a hand-held shower head A detachably arranged on the bracket 8; the bracket 8 is fixed to the wall and comprises a water inlet channel 6, a first water path 13, a second water path 14 and an electronic switching structure, the water inlet channel 6 is communicated with the water inlet pipe, the first water path 13 is communicated with the fixed shower head 9, and the second water path 14 is communicated with the hand-held shower head A; the electronic switching structure comprises a control member 32, a motor 31, a drive disk 2 and a water diversion disk 4, the water diversion disk 4 is arranged in a water diversion chamber 1, the water diversion chamber 1 has a first water outlet 11 communicated with the first water path 13 and a second water outlet 12 communicated with the second water path 14, the electronic switching structure is configured to remotely trigger the control member 32 through a remote controller B or trigger the control member 32 through a button on the hand-held shower head A, so as to drive the motor 31 to rotate, thereby linking the drive disk 2 to drive the water diversion disk 4 to rotate, so that the water diversion hole 41 on the water diversion disk 4 is connected or disconnected with the water outlet, and the water path switching is realized. The handheld shower head A is connected to the bracket 8 via a hose C and is magnetically attached to the bracket 8. The remote control B can also be fixed by magnetic attachment to a wall mount or other metal parts, but is not limited thereto and is not specifically limited thereto.

[0044] It should be mentioned that in this embodiment, by setting an electronic switching structure, using a remote control B to remotely trigger the control element 32 or pressing a button on the handheld shower head A to trigger the control element 32, the position of the operating end of the combined shower head is more flexible, which is convenient for different user groups to use. At the same time, it can avoid setting the operating end on the fixed shower head 9 to affect the overall appearance of the fixed shower head 9.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the water outlet end of the water inlet channel 6 is used to connect with the water diversion chamber 1, and the electronic switching structure includes a flow axis 51, one end of the flow axis 51 is arranged in the water inlet channel 6, and the other end is arranged to be driven to move by the driving part 21 on the driving disk 2 to adjust the water flow area; that is, the flow adjustment is at the front end of the water inlet of the water diversion chamber 1, which can avoid the problems of large back pressure and large operating force caused by the water flow in the switching process of the water diversion disk 4 when the flow is small.

[0046] Preferably, the drive disk 2 is constructed to be driven by the motor 31 to rotate the water distribution disk 4 to distribute water, and can continue to rotate while maintaining the water outlet state to cause the drive part 21 to abut against or move away from the flow axis 51 to adjust the water outlet flow, thereby achieving independent control of water distribution and flow.

[0047] Exemplarily, the control component 32 can be a circuit board, and the bracket 8 has a built-in battery 81, and the circuit board is electrically connected to the battery, or powered by hydroelectric power generation. The control component 32 is connected to a button, and the user can select the corresponding water outlet mode according to his or her needs. For example, when the first water channel 13 needs to outlet water, the user presses the corresponding button, and the control component 32 prompts the motor 31 to drive the drive disk 2 to rotate, so that the water diversion hole 41 of the water diversion disk 4 is connected to the first water channel 13. By pressing it a second time, the drive disk 2 continues to rotate, so that the drive part 21 moves against the flow shaft 51 to achieve flow regulation, and keep the water outlet of the first water channel 13 unchanged during the flow regulation process. The water outlet of each water channel and the flow regulation of the water channel under the water outlet state are independently controlled. In other embodiments, the remote control method of the remote controller B can also be adopted. The remote controller B includes three water outlet mode buttons B1 and one flow button B2. The three water outlet mode buttons B1 correspond to three water outlet modes: fixed shower outlet, handheld shower outlet, and two shower outlets outlet at the same time. In any water outlet mode, by pressing the flow button B2, the small flow water in the water outlet mode can be switched. The small flow water can be pause water. Among them, the circuit principle between the remote controller B and the control element 32 is the existing technology and will not be repeated here.

[0048] It should be mentioned that in this embodiment, the motor 31 drives the drive disk 2 to rotate, so that the drive disk 2 can rotate in conjunction with the water distribution disk 4 to distribute water, and can continue to rotate in the same water outlet state to cause the flow axis 51 to move, thereby realizing the separate control of waterway switching and flow regulation. That is, in the same waterway state, the flow rate does not need to pass through other water outlet areas to adjust the flow rate, and the water outlet flow rate can be independently adjusted in each water outlet state, thereby improving the user experience. In addition, this embodiment can simultaneously realize the independent control of water distribution and flow rate through a motor 31 and a drive disk 2, which can reduce costs while also reducing the structural space.

[0049] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, in an optional embodiment of the utility model, a first switch 33 and a second switch 34 are arranged along the circumferential direction of the drive disk 2, and each switch is electrically connected to the control member 32. A first trigger portion 22, a second trigger portion 23 and a third trigger portion 24 are arranged on the outer wall of the drive disk 2 (the trigger portion is arranged in a groove or a protrusion). The first switch 33 can only match with the first trigger portion 22 and the third trigger portion 24, and the second switch 34 can only match with the second trigger portion 23 and the third trigger portion 24. When the switch matches the trigger portion, a signal is transmitted to the control member 32 to correspond to the state of water outflow from the first waterway 13, water outflow from the second waterway 14, and water outflow from both waterways at the same time. For example, the first trigger portion 22 is a groove arranged at the top, the second trigger portion 23 is a groove arranged at the bottom, and the third trigger portion 24 is a groove arranged from the top to the bottom, and the three trigger portions are arranged at an angle, and the switch is a coupler. When the drive disk 2 rotates, the protrusion on the switch can be ejected into the corresponding trigger portion to realize the identification of multiple water outflow states. Refer to Figure 6 When the first switch 33 faces the third trigger part 24 and the second switch 34 faces the first trigger part 22, the convex part of the first switch 33 bounces into the third trigger part 24 and the convex part of the second switch 34 is pressed in, corresponding to the first water channel 13 outflowing water; Figure 7 When the first switch 33 faces the second trigger portion 23 and the second switch 34 faces the third trigger portion 24, the convex portion of the first switch 33 is pressed in and the convex portion of the second switch 34 bounces into the third trigger portion 24, corresponding to the water outlet of the second waterway 14; Figure 8 When the first switch 33 faces the first trigger part 22 and the second switch 34 faces the second trigger part 23, the convex part of the first switch 33 bounces into the first trigger part 22 and the convex part of the second switch 34 bounces into the second trigger part 23, corresponding to the first water channel 13 and the second water channel 14 discharging water at the same time.

[0050] Preferably, a plurality of driving parts 21 are extended outwardly from the outer circumference of the driving disk 2. The driving parts 21 are cam-shaped and are arranged staggered with the triggering part. One end of the flow shaft 51 abuts against the water inlet channel 6 via an elastic member 52 (such as a spring), and the other end abuts against the outer circumference of the driving disk 2. Fig.12 and Fig.13, a slot 511 for matching with the third switch 35 is provided on the flow shaft 51. When the driving part 21 moves against the flow shaft 51, the convex part of the third switch 35 pops out and matches with the slot 511, so that the motor 31 stops; when the motor 31 starts, the driving disk 2 is driven to rotate, so that the driving part 21 is away from the flow shaft 51. At this time, the flow shaft 51 is reset under the action of the elastic member 52, and the convex part of the third switch 35 is disengaged from the slot 511 and pressed in. Specifically, a water-passing section is provided on the flow shaft 51, and the water-passing section includes a large end 512 and a small end 513. When the driving part 21 drives the flow shaft 51 to move, the large end 512 faces the water-passing hole 61, and the water-inlet area is the smallest at this time; when the driving part 21 is away from the flow shaft 51, the flow shaft 51 moves under the action of the elastic member 52, so that the small end 513 faces the water-passing hole 61, and the water-inlet area is the largest at this time. Among them, the circuit principle between the control part 32 and the switch is the existing technology, which will not be repeated here.

[0051] Exemplarily, the positions of the first trigger unit 22, the second trigger unit 23, and the third trigger unit 24 are respectively denoted as A, B, and C, the small flow position (or cam position) is A1, B1, and C1, and the position combinations of the first switch 33 and the second switch 34 are AB, A1 B1, BC, B1 C1, CA, and C1A1, and the corresponding water outlet states are: large flow water outlet from both water channels at the same time, small flow water outlet from both water channels at the same time, large flow water outlet from the second water channel 14, small flow water outlet from the second water channel 14, large flow water outlet from the first water channel 13, and small flow water outlet from the first water channel 13, forming 6 water outlet states, and the large and small flow rates are switched between each other by the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 31, and other water outlet modes will not jump out during the switching process.

[0052] In other embodiments, a driving gear 311 is sleeved on the motor 31, and a driven gear portion 25 is provided on the driving disk 2, and the driven gear portion 25 meshes with the driving gear 311. The driving gear 311 is preferably a bevel gear, and a square shaft hole 26 is provided on the driving disk 2, and the rotating shaft of the water-dividing disk 4 is adapted to the square shaft hole 26, so that the water-dividing disk 4 and the driving disk 2 rotate synchronously. In addition, a sealing member 7 is provided between the water-dividing disk 4 and the water-dividing chamber 1, and the sealing member 7 is used to realize the conduction and isolation between the water-dividing hole 41 and the water outlet.
