Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shower equipment, in particular to a light emitting component for a shower and a shower. Background Art

[0002] Nowadays, showers are not only a carrier of the basic functions of water inlet and water flow, but also have additional entertainment functions such as music and lighting. The basis of these functions is that they need to be equipped with a power supply to be realized, that is, a storage battery or a small hydroelectric generator. The existing way of configuring batteries has been gradually replaced by small hydroelectric generators due to its short service life, the need to disassemble the shell for replacement, and the disadvantages of the storage battery being susceptible to moisture. However, although the hydroelectric generator has a longer service life, a small size, and can be built into the water passage, it also has certain shortcomings, that is, insufficient power generation. If it has music function, lighting function, or a number of light-emitting parts that emit different colors at the same time, there will be a situation of insufficient power supply. Most of the existing light-emitting parts that emit different colors use a light strip or light group formed by multiple LED lamp beads, which can not only change the color but also change the brightness, giving a variety of color lighting, gradient color and other visual effects; but due to the excessive number of lamp beads, insufficient power supply leads to dim visual effects of the light-emitting parts, and no gradient color lighting effects can be produced; in addition, installation, waterproofing and other parts are also difficult to handle;

[0003] In summary, the light-emitting components of existing showers still need to be further improved to meet actual usage requirements. Utility Model Content

[0019] From the above description of the utility model, it can be seen that compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] (1) The utility model provides a light-emitting assembly for a shower and a shower, which has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, easy to implement and has low cost. The utility model adopts two light-emitting components (i.e., lamp beads) respectively arranged at the two ends of a light guide as light sources, and only two lamp beads are used to achieve the mixing of the colors of the light beams, and the mixing process is a slowly and gradually changing visual effect. This visual beauty not only plays a role in mixing colors, but also provides a variety of color mixing gradient processes. The light guide gradually refracts and transmits the light beam, so that the light beams at the two ends of the light guide are transmitted along the length direction, which can present different color changes, brightness and other effects. In addition, the design of two light-emitting components reduces the power supply demand, and the hydroelectric generator can effectively supply power without the risk of power failure. Moreover, the entire light guide is independently arranged at the front end of the shower, which is easy to install and replace, and is not afraid of electric shock and short circuit caused by the influence of a humid environment. It is safer and does not need to replace the entire LED lamp bead board like the existing light-emitting components, so the maintenance and replacement cost is low.

[0021] (2) The light guide of the present invention includes a light-transmitting body and a light-shielding surface. The light-transmitting body is used as a light beam propagation and the light-shielding surface is used as a refraction surface, so that the light beam propagation process is slower, so that the naked eye can clearly see the slow process of light beam transmission, the visual intensity is better, the color mixing process can be gradually observed, and it is more aesthetically pleasing when combined with the use environment of the shower. In addition, the light-shielding surface can be arranged at intervals along the length direction, so that the entire light guide presents a visual effect of being lit up little by little along the length.

[0022] (3) The present invention sets at least two symmetrical bending areas on the light guide, thereby extending the length and time of the light beam refraction, the length of the light beam refraction at both ends, and the color mixing effect of the convergence.

[0023] (4) The control unit of the present invention includes a control circuit and a power storage unit, so that the hydroelectric generator set generates electricity and then lights the lamp beads after the voltage is stabilized by the electronic control circuit, thereby playing a circuit protection role. In addition, the power storage unit can store electricity. When the shower is turned on, the power storage unit can first supply power, and the hydroelectric generator set can then supply power, etc. The power supply of the entire light-emitting device is stable and sustainable. Moreover, if there are too many electrical components on the entire shower, the control unit can also control the delay or disconnection of power supply to another lamp bead when powering one of the lamp beads, thereby ensuring the effectiveness of the power supply. At the same time, when a lamp bead is lit and sends a light beam to the other end, a visual effect of the light beam changing from bright to dark during the continuous transmission process is generated, and the light at this end has not been completely extinguished, and the lamp bead at the other end is lit and its light beam is directed to the opposite end, and after mixing the colors, it returns to the original color. The color effect of such a setting is extremely rich, making the light effect of the entire shower particularly unique.

[0024] (5) The shower head described in the present invention sets the light guide on the lamp holder and at the front end of the shower housing, thereby reducing the water and water mist during showering that enter the light-emitting component and the control component (i.e., the control circuit), reducing the occurrence of short circuits caused by water contact, and thereby reducing the frequency of replacing and repairing the light-emitting component.

[0034] Showers, as water inlet components for bathing, have become popular, but their functions are still traditional. Later, various visual and auditory experiential functions were added to them, such as music playback and lighting enhancement functions. In particular, the lighting function is to embed an LED light bar or arrange several sheet-shaped light beads on the periphery or upper surface of the shower body, so as to enhance the visual effect. However, these effects cannot achieve the visual effects of natural color mixing, gradient and dynamic light beams.

[0036] In addition, the shower housing 1 includes a main body 11, a lamp holder 12 and a transparent window 13. The main body 11 is used for installing a water inlet component 14 and the lamp holder 12. The water inlet component 14 is generally a water inlet valve body. The water inlet valve body 141 in this embodiment has at least 4 battery valves to form a multi-way water outlet function; in addition, the light emitting component 22 is installed through the lamp holder 12, that is, installed on the front side of the lamp holder 12, and then sealed and covered by the transparent window 13 after assembly, so that the light emitted by the light emitting component 22 can be transmitted outward through the transparent window 13; in this way, the light emitting component 22 can be installed in the shower housing 11, and the light emitting component 22 can be installed in the shower housing 11, and the light emitting component 22 can be transmitted outward through the transparent window 13. The light-emitting components of the light-emitting assembly 22 are separated and arranged on the back of the lamp holder 12 through the lamp holder 12, so that water vapor and the like are not easy to contact with the light-emitting components and affect the service life; in addition, the control component is installed on the back of the lamp holder 12, so that the connection distance with the hydroelectric generator set 21 and the lamp beads 22A is shortened, the assembly is more compact (the area for installing the light guide 23 can be reduced), the heat dissipation effect is better (compared with the existing light-emitting components composed of batches of lamp beads 22A, the heat generated by the two lamp beads 22A of the new type is small and can be quickly dissipated), and the space utilization rate is greater;

[0037] The light emitting assembly 22 of this embodiment includes: at least two light emitting elements 22, a light guide element 23, a hydroelectric generator set 21 and a control element 24;

[0038] The two light-emitting members 22 are respectively mounted on both ends of the light-guiding member 23, and the ends of the light-emitting members 22 are electrically connected to the control member 24. It should be noted that the light-emitting members 22 of the present embodiment are arranged on the back of the lamp holder 12, so that it is convenient to connect with the control member 24; and the two light-emitting members 22 are configured to emit three primary colors, that is, the lamp beads 22A of red, yellow and blue are switched in sequence, so that when the two lamp beads 22A subsequently emit different colors of light, they are mixed to form other colors, such as red and blue are combined into purple, etc.;

[0039] The light guide 23 is configured as a light guide 23 made of optical fiber, and transmits the light beam sent by the light emitting element 22 from one end to the other end; the light beam continuously extends to the other end along the length direction of the light guide 23; it should be noted that the light guide 23 in this embodiment includes a light-transmitting body 231 and a light-shielding surface 232, the light-shielding surface is arranged along the length direction and is located on the back of the light-transmitting body 231, so that the light sent by the two light emitting elements 22 is refracted, and the light-transmitting body 231 is used as the light beam propagation and the light-shielding surface 232 is used as the refraction, so that the light beam propagates more slowly, making the meat The eyes can clearly see the slow process of light beam transmission, the visual intensity is better, the color mixing process can be gradually observed, and it is more aesthetically pleasing when combined with the use environment of the shower. In order to extend and realize the effect of slow lighting, the light guide 23 has at least two bending areas 233 along the length direction, which are used to extend the refraction path of light in the light guide 23. Of course, a plurality of shading surfaces 232 can also be formed on the light guide 23, and are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the light guide 23, so that the entire light guide 23 presents a visual effect of being lit up little by little along the length.

[0040] A hydroelectric generator set 21, which generates electricity through the action of water flow and is electrically connected to the two light-emitting elements 22 and / or the control element 24;

[0041] The control member 24 is electrically connected to each of the light-emitting members 22 to control the hydroelectric generator set 21 to directly or indirectly supply power to the two light-emitting members 22, and to control the light-emitting members 22 disposed at both ends of the light-guiding member 23 to send light of different or same colors to the opposite ends to form mixed-color light. In the present embodiment, the control member 24 comprises an electric control circuit 241 and a power storage unit 242, wherein the power storage unit 242 is mounted on the electric control circuit 241 board and is electrically connected to the hydroelectric generator set 21. The electric control circuit 241 board is connected to each of the light-emitting members 22 through electric wires, and is used to send instructions to the hydroelectric generator set 21 to directly supply power or to supply power to each of the light-emitting members 22 through the power storage unit 242. During use, each light-emitting member 22 (i.e., the lamp bead 22A) is controlled to emit at least three colors of light through the electric control circuit 241 board, and the light is switched and sent in sequence through the electric control circuit 241 board.

[0042] Moreover, in order to ensure the stability of power supply, the electric control circuit 241 board is electrically connected to each of the light-emitting components 22, and is used to control the hydroelectric generator set 21 to be connected to one of the light-emitting components 22 to be energized, and to suspend or delay the power supply to the other group of light-emitting components 22; in this way, the effectiveness of the power supply can be ensured. At the same time, when a lamp bead 22A is lit to send a light beam to the other end, a visual effect of the light beam changing from bright to dark during the continuous transmission process is generated, and the light at this end has not been completely extinguished, and the lamp bead 22A at the other end is lit, and its light beam is guided to the opposite end, and after mixing the colors, it returns to the original color. The color effect of this setting is extremely rich, making the light effect of the entire shower particularly unique.

[0043] In actual use: Figure 1-3 As shown;

[0044] (1) Turn on the water inlet component 14 of the shower, and the water flows into the water inlet channel and impacts the impeller of the hydroelectric generator set 21, thereby driving the generator to work, and the generated electricity is directly supplied to the lamp beads 22A, the electric control circuit board 241 and / or the power storage unit 242;

[0045] (2) The electric control circuit 241 sends a power supply instruction to the light-emitting element 22, so that it is powered on and lights up. The two light-emitting elements 22 emit light beams of different colors and are introduced into the light-transmitting body 231 of the light-guiding element 23. The light beams continuously propagate along the length direction of the light-transmitting body 231 and are refracted by the light-shielding surface 232, so that the light beams slowly move toward the other end. At this time, the light beams at the two ends have different colors. For example, one end emits red light and the other end emits blue light, thereby forming purple light, and pink light is formed as the light brightness changes, thereby realizing color mixing that can be visualized by the naked eye. In addition, the light-emitting elements 22 at the two ends switch light beams of the same or different colors at a time set by humans to achieve a color mixing and / or gradient light effect.

[0046] (3) The electronic control circuit 241 board can also switch to supply power to the two light-emitting elements 22 when the shower is used with a large number of components. In this way, there is a time difference or brightness difference between the two light beams, and the light beams flow, mix colors, and gradient colors appear during the propagation of the light guide 23.

[0047] The utility model provides a light-emitting component for a shower and a shower, which has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, easy to realize and has low cost. The utility model adopts two light-emitting components (i.e., lamp beads) respectively arranged at the two ends of a light guide as light sources, and only two lamp beads are used to achieve the mixing of the colors of the light beams, and the mixing process is a slowly and gradually changing visual effect. This visual beauty not only plays the role of mixing colors, but also provides a variety of mixed color gradient processes. The light guide gradually refracts and transmits the light beam, so that the light beams at the two ends of the light guide are transmitted along the length direction, which can present different color changes, brightness and darkness effects, etc. In addition, the design of two light-emitting components reduces the power supply demand, and the hydroelectric generator can effectively supply power, which is not easy to appear. The light guide of the present invention comprises a light-transmitting body and a light-shielding surface, and the light-transmitting body is used as the light beam propagation and the light-shielding surface is used as the refraction, so that the light beam propagation process is slower, so that the naked eye can clearly see the slow process of light beam transmission, the visual intensity is better, the color mixing process can be gradually observed, and it is more aesthetically pleasing when combined with the use environment of the shower. In addition, the light-shielding surface can be arranged at intervals along the length direction, so that the entire light guide presents a uniform light along the length. The light guide has at least two symmetrical bending areas, which prolongs the length and time of the light beam refraction, the duration of the light beam refraction at both ends, and the color mixing effect of the convergence. The control unit of the present invention includes a control circuit and a power storage unit, so that the hydroelectric generator set generates electricity and then lights up the lamp beads after voltage stabilization through the electric control circuit, which plays a role in circuit protection. In addition, the power storage unit can store electricity. The power storage unit can supply power first when the shower is turned on, and the hydroelectric generator set can supply power later, etc. The power supply of the entire light-emitting device is stable and sustainable. In addition, if there are too many electrical components on the entire shower, the control unit can also control the delay or disconnection when powering one of the lamp beads. Power is supplied to another lamp bead, so that the effectiveness of power supply can be ensured. At the same time, when one lamp bead is lit to send a light beam to the other end, a visual effect of the light beam changing from bright to dark during continuous transmission is generated, and the light at this end has not been completely extinguished, and the lamp bead at the other end is lit, and its light beam is guided to the opposite end, and after mixing the colors, it returns to the original color. The color effect of such a setting is extremely rich, making the light effect of the entire shower particularly unique; the shower described in the present invention arranges the light guide on the lamp holder and at the front end of the shower housing, so as to reduce the water and water mist during showering from entering the light-emitting component and the control component (i.e., the control circuit), reduce the phenomenon of short circuit caused by water, and thus reduce the frequency of replacement and maintenance of the light-emitting component.
