Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of sanitary products, and particularly relates to a split shower. Background Art

[0002] In order to ensure the structural strength and performance of products, the current market's storage showers generally adopt an integrated design. When the size of the shower (especially the length and width) is large, this design often leads to waste of material use.

[0003] Specifically, since the waterway part usually does not involve mating structures but is directly made of materials such as copper, using a large amount of copper material in these non-functional or low-stress areas not only increases the manufacturing cost but also causes significant material waste.

[0004] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background art section is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of the present disclosure, and thus may include information that does not constitute the prior art known to those of ordinary skill in the art.

[0030] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0031] Existing storage showers usually adopt an integrated structure design. However, when the length and width dimensions of the shower are relatively large, this design often leads to waste of materials. Especially in the waterway part without a matching structure, the use of the same material as the valve body (such as copper material) causes significant waste and increases the manufacturing cost of the product.

[0032] To solve the above technical problems, this embodiment provides a split shower. Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 as shown Figure 1 Is the perspective view of the split shower in the embodiment, Figure 2 Is the front view of the split shower in the embodiment, Figure 3 Is Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the A cross-section in Figure 4 Is Figure 3 The schematic diagram of the B area in

[0033] The split shower of this embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, includes: housing 1, valve body 2, connecting pipe 3 and locking screw 4.

[0034] The valve body 2 is fixedly installed in the housing 1, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, and is at least split into two parts. Each valve body 2 is provided with a connecting hole 20 for communicating the waterway, as Figure 4As shown, screw holes 21 are provided on the hole wall of the connecting hole 20. The screw holes 21 penetrate through the hole wall of the connecting hole 20 and communicate with the outside of the valve body 2. It can be understood that the above valve body 2 has the same function as the valve body 2 of the existing shower, and is used to control the opening or conveying of water circuits such as the water inlet circuit, the water outlet circuit, the cold water circuit, and the hot water circuit as needed, and the quantity can be set as required.

[0035] As Figure 3 shown, both ends of the connecting pipe 3 are respectively inserted into the inner side of the connecting holes 20 of the two valve bodies 2 and are in sealing contact with the inner side of the connecting holes 20 to achieve the water circuit connection between the two valve bodies 2. As Figure 4 shown, an inclined surface 30 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the connecting pipe 3 at the relative position of the screw hole 21. The inclined surface 30 extends obliquely from the inside of the connecting pipe 3 to the outside and towards the end of the adjacent connecting pipe 3.

[0036] As Figure 4 shown, the locking screw 4 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the screw hole 21 and tightly abuts against the inclined surface 30 of the connecting pipe 3 to relatively fix the connecting pipe 3 and the valve body 2. It can be understood that tightly abutting means that the locking screw 4 has an acting force on the inclined surface 30, and this acting force can push the connecting pipe 3 to be radially locked and axially move towards the inside of the adjacent valve body 2.

[0037] For the split-type shower of the above technical solution, the valve body 2, the connecting pipe 3 and the locking screw 4 adopt a split structure. When in use, the valve bodies 2 are connected through the connecting pipe 3, and the connecting pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the valve body 2 through the locking screw 4. With such a setting, components such as the locking screw 4 and the connecting pipe 3 can be made of materials with lower costs as needed, without the need to be the same as the material of the valve body 2. Compared with the existing integrated shower, it can effectively reduce the material cost and thus improve the economy of the product. Equally important is that when the locking screw 4 fixedly connects the connecting pipe 3 and the valve body 2, due to the design of the inclined surface 30 of the connecting pipe 3, when the locking screw 4 threadedly locks the connecting pipe 3, by abutting against the inclined surface 30, it can also push the end of the connecting pipe 3 towards the inside of the valve body 2. Compared with the traditional threaded connection method, it can improve the connection strength and stability between the connecting pipe 3 and the valve body 2.

[0038] In an implementation manner where the above connecting pipe 3 is in sealing contact with the inner side of the connecting hole 20, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, a sealing ring 5, that is, an O-ring, is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the connecting pipe 3, and it is in sealing contact with the inner side of the connecting hole 20 through the sealing ring 5. The sealing ring 5 plays a role in preventing water flow from flowing out at the connection between the connecting pipe 3 and the valve body 2.

[0039] Exemplarily, two or more sealing rings 5 are respectively provided at both ends of the connecting pipe 3 to improve the sealing performance.

[0040] To avoid scratching the sealing ring 5 when the connecting pipe 3 is inserted into the connecting hole 20, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the connecting hole 20 includes a mouth portion 201 and a connecting section 202. The mouth portion 201 and the connecting section 202 are arranged in sequence along the insertion direction of the connecting pipe 3. The inner diameter of the mouth portion 201 is larger than that of the connecting section 202 to facilitate the insertion of the connecting pipe 3 and the sealing ring 5. The connecting pipe 3 is in sealing contact with the inner side of the connecting section 202 through the sealing ring 5.

[0041] In an embodiment where the screw hole 21 is provided on the hole wall of the above-mentioned connecting hole 20, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the screw hole 21 is provided on the mouth portion 201 and is perpendicular to the axis of the connecting pipe 3. When the locking screw 4 tightly abuts against the inclined surface 30 along the direction of the screw hole 21, it can push the connecting pipe 3 to move axially through the inclined surface 30.

[0042] In an embodiment where the above-mentioned valve body 2 is fixedly installed in the housing 1, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the valve body 2 is fixedly connected to the housing 1 through the fixing screw 7.

[0043] In other embodiments where the above-mentioned valve body 2 is fixedly installed in the housing 1, the valve body 2 can be fixedly connected to the housing 1 by means of a snap structure, welding, etc.

[0044] Exemplarily, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the split shower also includes a water outlet joint 6 connected to one of the valve bodies 2. The water outlet joint 6 is used to output water flow to the outside. It can be understood that the water outlet joint 6 and the valve body 2 can also be fixed by the above-mentioned connecting pipe 3 and the locking screw 4.

[0045] Exemplarily, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the number of valve bodies 2 is three and they are sequentially connected by two connecting pipes 3. The two connecting pipes 3 are parallel to each other to reduce space occupation.

[0046] The above-mentioned locking screw 4 can select the screw type according to needs. Refer to Figure 4 As shown, such as selecting a set screw.

[0047] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
