Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of bathroom faucets, in particular to a shower faucet. Background Art

[0002] There are many kinds of shower faucets. Currently, the most popular shower faucet is the piano key switch. The piano key is generally fixed directly to the valve stem of the switching valve core by machine screws, which is troublesome to install. When the piano key is pressed, the switching valve core will bear all the pressing force, so it is easy to cause damage to the switching valve core. At the same time, when the current switching valve core is in use, the swing angle of the valve stem is often large. Since the piano key is directly fixed on the valve stem, the swing angle of the valve stem will be the same as the swing angle of the piano key, so the angle between the pressing surface of the piano key and the finger will also change. Therefore, when in use, especially when the hands are stained with soap or shower gel, it is easy to slip. Utility Model Content

[0003] Based on the above problems, the utility model aims to provide a shower faucet with a switch button that is easy to install, has good pressing stability, and has a good hand feel.

[0005] In the above structure, the switch button is hinged to the faucet body through an articulated arm extending toward the rear of the faucet body to achieve up and down swinging. While the switch button swings up and down along its own hinge point, the valve stem of the switch valve core is moved by the swing groove, thereby controlling the swing of the valve stem. Therefore, during installation, there is no need to fix the switch valve core to the valve stem through machine screws, which simplifies the assembly process and also makes the switch button more stable.

[0006] The utility model is further configured such that the distance from the swing axis of the switching button to the back of the faucet body on the horizontal projection plane is smaller than the distance from the swing axis of the valve stem of the switching valve core to the back of the faucet body on the horizontal projection plane.

[0007] In the above structure, the hinge axis of the switch button is arranged backward, which indirectly increases the force arm length of the switch button. When the switch button is pressed, the valve stem of the switch valve core is indirectly driven to swing up and down by utilizing the swing groove. The swing stroke / angle of the switch button is much smaller than the swing stroke of the valve stem of the switch valve core, which is beneficial to improving the pressing stability and comfort of the switch button.

[0012] The utility model is further configured that the faucet body is provided with a hydroelectric generator and a display drive module electrically connected to the hydroelectric generator, and a temperature measuring head is provided inside the hydroelectric generator.

[0013] In the above structure, when in use, water flow impacts the hydroelectric generator to generate electricity to supply power to the display drive module, and at the same time the water temperature is measured to display the water temperature information on the display drive module.

[0014] The utility model is further configured such that the display driving module is located on the upper surface of the faucet body.

[0015] In the above structure, the display driver module is located below the decorative cover plate, which is provided with a light-shielding coating to block the hinge groove to prevent the hinge groove from being seen from the outside, while allowing the bright light emitted by the display driver module to penetrate outward to display temperature information.

[0016] The utility model is further configured that the faucet body is also provided with a light belt electrically connected to the display drive module or the hydroelectric generator.

[0017] In the above structure, the light strip is used for decoration.

[0018] The utility model is further configured such that the light strip is located on the upper surface and / or the side wall of the faucet body.

[0019] In the above structure, the light strip is located on the upper surface of the faucet body.

[0020] The utility model is further configured such that the switching valve core installation position, the switching valve core and the switching button are arranged in multiple groups and are spaced apart from each other, and the number of the water outlets is arranged in the same number as the number of their groups.

[0021] In the above structure, the switching valve core installation position, the switching valve core, the switching button and the water outlet are preferably arranged in 4 groups.

[0022] The utility model is further configured that a closing opening is provided at a notch position where the swing groove and the upper and lower side surfaces of the valve stem of the switching valve core abut against each other, and a gap is set between the closing opening and the valve stem.

[0023] In the above structure, when the swing groove swings up and down following the switch button, the angle between it and the central axis of the valve stem will change, so the gap between the closing end and the valve stem can ensure that the valve stem can be well adapted to the swing groove when swinging.

[0024] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the switch button is hinged to the faucet body through an articulated arm extending toward the rear of the faucet body to achieve up and down swinging. While the switch button swings up and down along its own hinge point, the valve stem of the switch valve core is moved by the swing groove, thereby controlling the swing of the valve stem. Therefore, during installation, there is no need to fix the switch valve core to the valve stem through machine screws, which simplifies the assembly process and also makes the switch button more stable.
