[0001] This application relates to the field of shower devices, and particularly to a shower device. Background Art

[0002] In the development of modern bathroom equipment, as an important tool for household and personal cleaning and relaxation, the functionality and comfort of shower devices have been significantly improved. Current shower device products on the market are no longer limited to basic rinsing functions, but incorporate diversified massage rinsing methods, aiming to bring a richer shower experience to users. These massage rinsing methods include, but are not limited to, pulsed rinsing massage, oscillating rinsing massage, rotating rinsing massage, and achieving massage effects by changing the size of the water outlet holes, etc.

[0003] However, with the increasing complexity and diversification of massage rinsing methods, especially when complex massage rinsing methods use electric control drive, although the functions are automated and intelligent, in a shower environment, this electric control method has safety hazards that cannot be ignored. The shower room is a high-humidity environment, and the contact between water and electricity may cause an electric shock risk, posing a threat to the safety of users. Moreover, the electric control drive system often requires high energy consumption and maintenance costs.

[0004] Therefore, this application studies a shower device that can ensure safety and reduce costs at the same time. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] In order to ensure the use safety of the shower device and reduce the use cost, this application provides a shower device.

When the eccentric rib is parallel to the eccentric portion, the spray bar body faces directly forward. Therefore, the spray bar body can be driven to rotate through the eccentric rib.

[0012] Optionally, the eccentric rib is a strip-shaped structure. When the length direction of the eccentric rib is parallel to the axis of the spray bar body, when the eccentric portion abuts against one end of the eccentric rib, the rotation of the eccentric wheel drives the spray bar body to move.

When the eccentric rib is parallel to the eccentric portion, the spray bar body is located in the middle position of the bracket. Therefore, the spray bar body can be driven to move through the eccentric rib.

[0014] Optionally, it further includes a water inlet pipe. The impeller assembly is provided with an impeller cavity communicated with the water inlet pipe, and the spray bar body is provided with a water outlet cavity communicated with the water inlet pipe.

The eccentric part abuts against one of the abutting parts, and the rotation of the eccentric wheel drives the spray bar body to rotate and move in sequence.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, during the rotation of the eccentric wheel, when the eccentric part abuts against each abutting part in sequence, the spray bar body rotates and moves in sequence, so that two massage modes of rotation and movement can be realized.

Detailed implementation manners

[0038] The following further Figures 1-11 elaborates on this application.

[0039] An embodiment of this application discloses a shower device. Referring to Figure 1 , the shower device includes a boom assembly 1, an impeller assembly 2, a drive assembly 3, and a crank assembly 4. The boom assembly 1 includes a bracket 11 and a boom body 12. The boom body 12 is provided with a plurality of water spray holes 5. The boom body 12 is sleeved on the bracket 11 and is movably connected to the bracket 11.

[0040] Referring to Figure 2 , in some embodiments, the shower device further includes a water inlet pipe 9. The impeller assembly 2 is provided with an impeller chamber 21 communicating with the water inlet pipe 9. Cooperating Figure 3 , the boom body 12 is provided with a water outlet chamber communicating with the water inlet pipe 9. The impeller assembly 2 includes an impeller body 22. The impeller body 22 is rotatably arranged in the impeller chamber 21. The pressurized water enters the impeller chamber 21 through the water inlet pipe 9. The pressurized water drives the impeller body 22 to rotate. The output end of the impeller assembly 2 is connected to the drive assembly 3, so that the drive assembly 3 is powered by the impeller assembly 2. Therefore, no additional electric power or mechanical energy is required, which can ensure the use safety, and reduce the use cost and maintenance cost.

[0041] Referring to Figure 3 , the output end of the drive assembly 3 is connected to the crank assembly 4. In some embodiments, the drive assembly 3 is a gearbox. After the impeller drives the gearbox to rotate, the gearbox drives the crank assembly 4 to rotate. The crank assembly 4 is connected to the boom body 12, thereby driving the boom body 12 to move, and then the pressurized water is sprayed out from the water spray holes 5 to achieve dynamic massage.

[0042] The entering pressurized water drives the impeller assembly 2 to rotate. The impeller assembly 2 transmits power to the drive assembly 3, and the drive assembly 3 drives the crank assembly 4 to move. The crank assembly 4 drives the spray bar body 12 to rotate around the bracket 11 and / or move along the axial direction of the bracket 11. The crank assembly 4 drives the spray bar body 12 to rotate upward or downward around the bracket 11, so as to realize the swing of the spray bar body 12 in the longitudinal direction and achieve the dynamic massage effect in the longitudinal direction; the crank assembly 4 drives the spray bar body 12 to move left or right along the axial direction of the bracket 11, so as to realize the movement of the spray bar body 12 in the transverse direction and achieve the dynamic massage in the transverse direction.

[0043] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , in some embodiments, the crank assembly 4 includes a crank body 41 and an eccentric wheel 42. The output end of the drive assembly 3 is connected to the crank body 41. A relief groove 6 is formed in the eccentric wheel 42. The relief groove 6 has an eccentric portion 7. The eccentric portion 7 is one side wall surface of the eccentric wheel 42 corresponding to the relief groove 6, specifically a plane. The surface corresponding to the eccentric portion 7 is an arc surface, and the arc surface faces the eccentric portion 7, so that when the eccentric wheel 42 rotates, it can drive the spray bar body 12 to move.

[0044] Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the rotation center of the crank body 41 is located near the eccentric portion 7. An eccentric rib 8 is integrally connected to the side surface of the spray bar body 12. The eccentric rib 8 abuts against the eccentric portion 7. The drive assembly 3 drives the crank body 41 to rotate, driving the eccentric wheel 42 to rotate, and driving the spray bar body 12 to rotate and / or move by the eccentric portion 7 abutting against the eccentric rib 8.

[0045] Referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , in some embodiments, the eccentric rib 8 is a strip-shaped structure. In this embodiment, the eccentric rib 8 is specifically a columnar structure with both upper and lower bottom surfaces being elliptical. When the length direction of the eccentric rib 8 is perpendicular to the axis of the spray bar body 12, that is, when the spray bar body 12 is horizontally arranged, the eccentric rib 8 is longitudinally arranged. When the eccentric portion 7 abuts against one end of the eccentric rib 8, the eccentric wheel 42 rotates to drive the spray bar body 12 to rotate. When the eccentric portion 7 abuts against the lower end of the eccentric rib 8, the spray bar body 12 rotates downward, that is, the water spray holes 5 face downward; when the eccentric portion 7 is parallel to the eccentric rib 8, the spray bar body 12 faces directly forward; when the eccentric portion 7 abuts against the upper end of the eccentric rib 8, the spray bar body 12 rotates upward. Therefore, by rotating the eccentric wheel 42, the eccentric portion 7 abuts against different positions of the eccentric rib 8, thereby driving the spray bar body 12 to rotate upward or downward around the bracket 11, so as to form a dynamic massage in the longitudinal direction.

[0046] Referring to Figure 9, in some embodiments, the eccentric rib 8 is in a strip-like structure. In this embodiment, the eccentric rib 8 is specifically in a columnar structure with both upper and lower bottom surfaces being oval. When the length direction of the eccentric rib 8 is arranged parallel to the axis of the spray bar body 12, that is, when the spray bar body 12 is horizontally arranged, the eccentric rib 8 is horizontally arranged. When the eccentric part 7 abuts against one end of the eccentric rib 8, the eccentric wheel 42 rotates to drive the spray bar body 12 to move. When the eccentric part 7 abuts against the left end of the eccentric rib 8, the spray bar body 12 moves to the right along the bracket 11. In this embodiment, that is, the spray bar body 12 moves to the side away from the driving assembly 3. When the eccentric part 7 abuts against the right end of the eccentric rib 8, the spray bar body 12 moves to the left along the bracket 11. Therefore, by rotating the eccentric wheel 42 to make the eccentric part 7 abut against different positions of the eccentric rib 8, the spray bar body 12 can be driven to move left or right along the bracket 11, so as to form a dynamic massage in the horizontal direction.

[0047] Refer to Figure 10 , the bracket 11 includes a first fixed shaft 111 and a second fixed shaft 112. Both ends of the spray bar body 12 are respectively sleeved on the first fixed shaft 111 and the second fixed shaft 112 in a sealed manner. The first fixed shaft 111 is provided with a connection channel 14 communicating the water inlet pipe 9 and the water outlet cavity 13. The second fixed shaft 112 is used to block the other end of the water outlet cavity 13. In this embodiment, the driving assembly 3 is installed on the first fixed shaft 111. Both ends of the spray bar body 12 are sleeved and cooperated with the first fixed shaft 111 and the second fixed shaft 112 to achieve relative rotation. When the spray bar body 12 moves left or right along the bracket 11, there is a gap between the end of the spray bar body 12 and the end of at least one of the first fixed shaft 111 and the second fixed shaft 112 on the same side.

[0048] When the spray bar body 12 moves to the left along the bracket 11, that is, moves towards the first fixed shaft 111, at this time, there is a gap between the end of the spray bar body 12 close to the second fixed shaft 112 and the end of the second fixed shaft 112. When the spray bar body 12 moves to the right along the bracket 11, that is, moves towards the second fixed shaft 112, at this time, there is a gap between the end of the spray bar body 12 close to the first fixed shaft 111 and the end of the first fixed shaft 111. When the spray bar body 12 is in the middle, there are gaps between both ends of the spray bar body 12 and the first fixed shaft 111 and the second fixed shaft 112 on the same side. Therefore, by moving the spray bar body 12 along the direction of the first fixed shaft 111 or the second fixed shaft 112, a dynamic massage in the horizontal direction can be realized.

[0049] Refer to Figure 11, in some embodiments, there are abutting portions 10 around the eccentric rib 8, and the distances from the ends of the respective abutting portions 10 to the center position of the eccentric rib 8 are equal, so that the eccentric portion 7 can drive the movement of the spray bar body 12 in the transverse and longitudinal directions through the eccentric rib 8. The eccentric portion 7 abuts against one of the abutting portions 10, and the rotation of the eccentric wheel 42 drives the spray bar body 12 to rotate and move in sequence. When the eccentric portion 7 abuts against the upper and lower abutting portions 10, the eccentric wheel 42 drives the spray bar body 12 to rotate around the bracket 11. When the eccentric portion 7 abuts against the left and right abutting portions 10, the eccentric wheel 42 drives the spray bar body 12 to move along the bracket 11, so that during the rotation of the eccentric wheel 42, it abuts against each abutting portion 10 in sequence around the circumferential direction, thereby being able to rotate and move in sequence, and thus dynamic massage in two directions of longitudinal and transverse can be realized.

[0050] The implementation principle of a shower device according to an embodiment of the present application is as follows: when the shower device is turned on, pressurized water enters the impeller assembly 2 and drives it to rotate. The rotational movement of the impeller assembly 2 is transmitted to the crank assembly 4 through the drive assembly 3. The movement of the crank assembly 4 drives the spray bar body 12 to rotate around the bracket 11 or move along the bracket 11, thereby realizing the position adjustment of the shower head and thus realizing dynamic massage; using the power of the pressurized water itself to drive the movement of the spray bar assembly 1, without additional electrical or mechanical energy, can ensure the use safety and reduce the use cost.

[0051] The above are all the preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereby. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
