Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of bathroom equipment, in particular to a shower head and shower equipment. Background Art
[0002] Hard water contains a large amount of soluble calcium and magnesium compounds. If the water inside the shower head is not drained in time after use, the calcium bicarbonate will easily decompose when heated to form insoluble compounds, which will form scale deposits over time. This can easily cause the water outlet of the shower head to be blocked by scale, resulting in poor water flow. In related technologies, a drain hole is provided on the shower head. When the shower head is placed on a bracket after use, the residual water in the shower head can be discharged from the drain hole. However, because the drain hole is too large, the water column will be larger during normal use of the shower head, and the water flow from other water outlets may be reduced, affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content
[0003] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems in the prior art. To this end, the present invention provides a shower head that can reduce the impact of a drainage hole on the water discharge function of the shower head.
[0004] The utility model also provides a shower device with the shower head.
[0005] The shower head according to the first embodiment of the present invention comprises: a housing including a handle portion and a water outlet portion connected thereto, the water outlet portion being provided with a receiving cavity, and the handle portion being provided with a first water inlet channel;
[0006] a water outlet assembly, disposed in the accommodating cavity, wherein the water outlet assembly is provided with a second water inlet channel communicating with the first water inlet channel;
[0007] a surface cover assembly connected to the water outlet portion and covering the opening of the accommodating cavity; a water outlet cavity connected to the second water inlet channel is formed between the surface cover assembly and the water outlet assembly; a plurality of first water outlet nozzles are spaced apart on the surface cover assembly, the plurality of first water outlet nozzles are connected to the water outlet cavity and are used for spraying; the surface cover assembly is further provided with a drainage hole, the drainage hole being provided on a side of the surface cover assembly close to the handle portion;
[0008] a blocking assembly disposed in the accommodating cavity, the blocking assembly comprising a mounting seat, a blocking member, and a first elastic member; the mounting seat forming a mounting cavity communicating with the second water inlet channel; the first elastic member and the blocking member both being disposed in the mounting cavity;
[0009] The shower head has a water-flowing state and a water-off state. When the shower head is in the water-flowing state, the blocking member can close the drainage hole under the action of water pressure; when the shower head is in the water-off state, the blocking member can open the drainage hole under the elastic force of the first elastic member, so that the drainage hole is connected to the water outlet cavity.

[0058] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, and connecting should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.
[0059] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a shower head 1000 of an embodiment of the present invention can be used together with a shower device, which also includes a top spray, a water outlet faucet, a regulating valve and other structures. The shower head 1000 of the present invention includes a housing 100, a water outlet assembly 200, a surface cover assembly 300 and a blocking assembly 400. Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the housing 100 includes a handle portion 110 and a water outlet portion 120. The water outlet portion 120 is in a round shape and is provided with a receiving cavity 121. The receiving cavity 121 is formed with an opening at the end of the water outlet portion 120. The handle portion 110 is in a rod shape and is provided with a water inlet pipe 112. The water inlet pipe 112 forms a first water inlet channel 111. Figure 6 As shown, the water outlet assembly 200 is disposed in the accommodating cavity 121, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the water outlet assembly 200 is provided with a second water inlet channel 210 communicating with the first water inlet channel 111. Figure 1 As shown, the cover assembly 300 is connected to the water outlet 120 and covers the opening of the accommodating cavity 121. Figure 6 As shown, a water outlet cavity 310 is formed between the face cover assembly 300 and the water outlet assembly 200. The water outlet cavity 310 is connected to the second water inlet channel 210. The face cover assembly 300 is provided with a drainage hole 320 and multiple first water outlet nozzles 331, both of which are connected to the water outlet cavity 310. When the shower head 1000 discharges water, the first water outlet nozzles 331 are used for spraying and rinsing. The drainage hole 320 is used to drain any residual water in the water outlet cavity 310.
[0060] The drainage hole 320 is provided on the side of the cover assembly 300 close to the handle portion 110. It should be noted that the side of the cover assembly 300 close to the handle portion 110 refers to the situation where the shower head 1000 is placed vertically, with the handle portion 110 directly below the water outlet 120. Connect the highest and lowest points of the cover assembly 300 and divide the line into three equal parts. Two horizontal planes pass through the two equal points of the line, thereby dividing the cover assembly 300 into three parts: the first part, the second part, and the third part, from top to bottom. The third part is the side of the cover assembly 300 close to the handle portion 110. In other words, the drainage hole 320 only needs to be provided in the third part to be on the side of the cover assembly 300 close to the handle portion 110.
[0061] Reference Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 The dotted line with an arrow indicates the direction of water flow. The blocking assembly 400 is disposed within the accommodating cavity 121 and includes a mounting seat 410, a blocking member 420, and a first elastic member 430. The mounting seat 410 forms a second mounting cavity 411, which communicates with the second water inlet channel 210. The first elastic member 430 and the blocking member 420 are both disposed within the mounting cavity 411, and the blocking member 420 is connected to the first elastic member 430. The showerhead 1000 has a water-flowing state and a water-off state. When the showerhead 1000 is in the water-flowing state, the blocking member 420 can move toward the drain hole 320 under the action of water pressure and close the drain hole 320. When the showerhead 1000 is in the water-off state, the blocking member 420 can move away from the drain hole 320 under the elastic force of the first elastic member 430 and open the drain hole 320.
[0062] It is understandable that by adopting the above scheme, referring to Figure 7 As shown, when the shower head 1000 is in the water outlet state, water enters the second water inlet channel 210 of the water outlet assembly 200 from the first water inlet channel 111 of the handle portion 110, then passes through the water outlet cavity 310, and finally flows out from the first water outlet nozzle 331. At this time, the blocking member 420 can overcome the elastic force of the first elastic member 430 under the action of water pressure and move toward the drainage hole 320 to close the drainage hole 320, thereby preventing the water flowing out of the drainage hole 320 from affecting the water outlet function of the shower head 1000. Figure 8As shown, when the showerhead 1000 is in the water-off state, the blocking member 420, having lost its water pressure, moves away from the drain hole 320 under the elastic force of the first elastic member 430, thereby opening the drain hole 320 and allowing any residual water accumulated in the water outlet chamber 310 to drain through the drain hole 320. Since the handle 110 of the showerhead 1000 is typically attached to the bracket after use, the drain hole 320 is positioned on the side of the cover assembly 300 near the handle 110. Under the influence of gravity, the residual water will converge toward the side of the water outlet chamber 310 near the handle 110, allowing for maximum drainage and delaying scale clogging of the first water outlet nozzle 331.
[0063] Reference Figure 7 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the blocking member 420 includes a guide portion 421 and a blocking portion 422, and the blocking portion 422 is connected to the lower end of the guide portion 421. The side wall of the guide portion 421 is sleeved with a sealing ring 423, and the guide portion 421 is sealed with the side wall of the installation cavity 411 through the sealing ring 423. The bottom wall of the installation cavity 411 is provided with a through hole 412, and the blocking portion 422 is rod-shaped and penetrates the through hole 412, and the blocking portion 422 is used to close the drainage hole 320. It can be understood that the side wall of the guide portion 421 is sleeved with a sealing ring 423, the purpose of which is to prevent water from directly entering the water diversion cavity through the through hole 412 of the installation cavity 411 when water enters from the second water inlet channel 210. Refer to Figure 7 As shown, when the shower head 1000 is in the water discharge state, water flows through the second water inlet channel 210 and acts on the upper end of the blocking portion 422, thereby applying downward pressure to the blocking member 420, so that the blocking portion 422 blocks the drainage hole 320, and water does not flow out of the drainage hole 320. Figure 8 As shown, when the shower head 1000 is in the water-off state, the blocking portion 422 that loses the water pressure moves upward under the elastic force of the first elastic member 430, thereby opening the drainage hole 320. The drainage hole 320 can discharge the residual water, thereby reducing the generation of scale and delaying the scale from clogging the first water outlet 331.
[0064] Reference Figure 7 As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first elastic member 430 is a spring, which is sleeved on the blocking portion 422 and connected at both ends to the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 411 and the guide portion 421. The connection method can be abutment, bonding, clamping, etc. The solution of using a spring to provide elastic force has a simple structure and is easy to install. It should be noted that as an alternative embodiment, the first elastic member 430 can also be an elastic rubber member, silicone member, etc., and the appropriate solution is selected according to the actual situation.
[0065] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, the second water inlet channel 210 includes a first hole section 211 and a second hole section 212. A partition plate 213 is provided between the first hole section 211 and the second hole section 212. The first hole section 211 and the second hole section 212 are connected to one end of the blocking member 420. It will be understood that the partition plate 213 is used to block the water flow, allowing the water flow from the first hole section 211 to the second hole section 212, and can also apply water pressure on the upper end of the blocking member 420, so that the blocking member 420 can block the drainage hole 320 when the shower head 1000 is in the water discharge state.
[0066] In the embodiment of the present invention, the minimum drainage area of the drain hole 320 is larger than the minimum drainage area of the first water outlet 331. It is understood that to ensure the water flow rate of the showerhead 1000, the drainage area of the first water outlet 331 cannot be too large, otherwise the water flow will lack impact force. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the drainage area of the first water outlet 331 to increase the impact speed and force of the water flow. The minimum drainage area of the drain hole 320 is larger than the minimum drainage area of the first water outlet 331 to increase the drainage speed of residual water and effectively reduce the possibility of foreign matter clogging the drain hole 320, resulting in poor water flow, thereby improving drainage efficiency.
[0067] Reference Figure 9 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the face cover assembly 300 includes a face cover 340 and a water outlet member 330, and the water outlet member 330 is connected to the side of the face cover 340 facing the water outlet assembly 200. A rib 332 is provided on the side of the water outlet member 330 facing away from the face cover 340, and the rib 332 is arranged around the edge of the water outlet member 330. The rib 332 and the side of the water outlet assembly 200 facing the face cover assembly 300 abut against each other, thereby defining a water outlet cavity 310. The portion of the rib 332 close to the handle portion 110 protrudes toward the center of the face cover 340 and forms a convex portion 333, while the rib 332 forms concave portions 334 on both sides of the convex portion 333. Two drainage holes 320 are provided and are respectively located in the enclosed spaces of the two concave portions 334. Therefore, the blocking assembly 400 is also provided with two and cooperates with the corresponding drainage holes 320. Refer to Figure 5 As shown, the second water inlet channel 210 includes two branches, each passing through a blocking assembly 400 , so that the blocking portion 422 can block the drainage hole 320 .
[0068] It is understandable that since the shower head 1000 is usually hung and connected to the bracket after use, the cover assembly 300 is tilted downward. When the retaining edge 332 is circular, there is only one lowest point, and usually only one drainage hole 320 can be set. In order to improve drainage efficiency, the aperture of the drainage hole 320 needs to be made larger. This results in the overall aesthetics of the cover 340 being reduced. Therefore, by providing a solution of providing a protrusion 333 and a recess 334, at least two lowest points can be formed on the cover assembly 300, so that at least two drainage holes 320 can be provided. When achieving the same drainage efficiency, the aperture when providing two drainage holes 320 is smaller than the aperture when providing one drainage hole 320, so the integrity of the cover 340 is better and more beautiful. When one of the drainage holes 320 is blocked, the other drainage hole 320 can still serve to drain water, thereby improving the reliability of drainage.
[0069] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the face cover assembly 300 and the outlet assembly 200 can be connected by fasteners to fix the relative position of the face cover assembly 300 and the outlet assembly 200. For example, the fastener is a screw, which is inserted through the center of the face cover assembly 300 and threadedly connected to the outlet assembly 200. To enhance the overall aesthetics of the face cover assembly 300, a decorative cover 350 is connected to the middle of the face cover assembly 300 to conceal the screw.
[0070] It should be noted that the shower head 1000 usually needs to have the function of switching water types. The existing switching method is usually to rotate the cover 340. After the drainage hole 320 and the blocking component 400 are designed to work together, the position of the cover 340 is usually fixed and cannot be rotated. In order to switch different water types, water flow speeds or water pressures without rotating the cover 340, refer to Figure 10 、 Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the water outlet assembly 200 includes a driven member 220, a water diversion disc 230, a water diversion fixed plate 240, and a water diversion body 260. The driven member 220 is rotatable and connected in sequence along the rotation axis of the driven member 220. The water diversion disc 230 is provided with a plurality of first water diversion holes 231, the water diversion fixed plate 240 is provided with a plurality of second water diversion holes 241, and the water diversion body 260 is provided with a plurality of water outlet holes 267 connected to the first water outlet nozzle 331. The plurality of water outlet holes 267 are correspondingly connected to the plurality of second water diversion holes 241. The shower head 1000 also includes a driving assembly 500. The driving assembly 500 is driven and rotated. The driven member 220 drives the water diversion disc 230 to rotate, thereby connecting the first water diversion holes 231 with different second water diversion holes 241.
[0071] It is understood that the water inlet area of different second water diversion holes 241 can be designed to be different, the number of connected second water diversion holes 241 can be different, or the second water diversion holes 241 can be connected to water outlet holes 267 of different shapes and structures. Therefore, when the water diversion turntable 230 rotates under the drive of the follower 220, the first water diversion hole 231 is connected to the second water diversion holes 241 in different positions, thereby enabling the water outlet to switch to different water types, water outlet speeds or water outlet pressures to meet the different shower needs of users. Since it is the water diversion turntable 230 of the water outlet assembly 200 that rotates, and the cover 340 is fixed relative to the housing 100, the position of the drain hole 320 also remains unchanged relative to the housing 100 to ensure that the corresponding function of the drain hole 320 is realized.
[0072] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the drive assembly 500 includes a push button 510 and a transmission member 520, wherein a portion of the transmission member 520 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 121, and another portion of the transmission member 520 is arranged in the handle portion 110. The handle portion 110 is provided with an elongated adjustment port 113, and the push button 510 is inserted into the adjustment port 113 and connected to the transmission member 520. The transmission member 520 includes a rack portion 521, and the follower 220 includes a tooth portion 221, which is engaged with the rack portion 521. The push button 510 can be pushed along the length direction of the adjustment port 113, and the rack portion 521 of the follower 220 is engaged with the tooth portion 221, so as to drive the follower 220 and the water diversion turntable 230 to rotate. Since the user can hold the handle 110 to rinse when showering, the push button 510 is set on the handle 110. The push button 510 can be easily pushed to change the water outlet state of the shower head 1000, thereby improving the user experience.
[0073] It should be noted that, as an alternative embodiment, the drive assembly 500 can also be a knob, which extends out of the side of the water outlet 120 facing away from the cover assembly 300, and is connected to the follower 220. When the knob is turned, the follower 220 can be driven to rotate, thereby switching the water outlet state. The appropriate solution is selected according to the actual situation.
[0074] Reference Figure 11 and Figure 13As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the water outlet assembly 200 further includes a water inlet 270, which is formed with a second water inlet channel 210. A cover 272 is connected to the upper end of the water inlet 270. The water inlet 270 is provided with a mounting groove 271, and the transmission member 520 is provided with a plurality of gear slots 522. The two side walls of the gear slots 522 along the movement direction of the transmission member 520 serve as guiding slopes. The drive assembly 500 further includes a positioning member 540 and a second elastic member 530. The positioning member 540 and the second elastic member 530 are both disposed within the mounting groove 271. The second elastic member 530 is connected to the positioning member 540. The positioning member 540 can engage with the corresponding gear slot 522 under the elastic force of the second elastic member 530. For example, there are three gear slots 522, so the shower head 1000 can switch between three gears. The cooperation between the second elastic member 530 and the positioning member 540 allows the elastic force of the second elastic member 530 to maintain contact between the positioning member 540 and the transmission member 520. When the transmission member 520 moves, the gear slot 522 engages with one end of the positioning member 540, helping the user confirm that the showerhead 1000 has been switched to the corresponding gear position and improving the user experience. The fact that two sidewalls of the gear slot 522 are inclined guide surfaces also facilitates gear switching, facilitating the movement of the positioning member 540 from one gear slot 522 to another.
[0075] Reference Figure 14 As shown, in an embodiment of the present utility model, a plurality of water-dividing ribs 252 are provided on the side of the water-dividing plate 240 facing away from the water-dividing rotary plate 230, and a first water-dividing area 253, a second water-dividing area 254, a third water-dividing area 255, a fourth water-dividing area 256 and a fifth water-dividing area 257 are formed between the plurality of water-dividing ribs 252, and the water-dividing ribs 252 and the water-dividing body 260 abut and cooperate with each other on the side facing the water-dividing plate 240, so that the first water-dividing area 253, the second water-dividing area 254, the third water-dividing area 255, the fourth water-dividing area 256 and the fifth water-dividing area 257 are separated from each other. Multiple second water diversion holes 241 include a first hole 242, a second hole 243, a third hole 244, a fourth hole 245, a fifth hole 246 and a sixth hole 247, which are arranged in sequence along the circumferential direction of the rotation axis. The first hole 242 and the fourth hole 245 are connected to the first water diversion area 253, the second hole 243 is connected to the second water diversion area 254, the third hole 244 is connected to the third water diversion area 255, the fifth hole 246 is connected to the fourth water diversion area 256, and the sixth hole 247 is connected to the fifth water diversion area 257.
[0076] It is understood that the water diversion disc 230 can be provided with four first water diversion holes 231. When the four first water diversion holes 231 are connected to the corresponding holes in the first hole 242, the second hole 243, the third hole 244, the fourth hole 245, the fifth hole 246, and the sixth hole 247, water can be discharged from the corresponding water diversion areas in the first water diversion area 253, the second water diversion area 254, the third water diversion area 255, the fourth water diversion area 256, and the fifth water diversion area 257. Different water discharge effects can be achieved depending on the water discharge position. For example, different water diversion areas have different water discharge areas, which can adjust the water discharge force and speed of the shower head 1000; or different water diversion areas can be connected to different first water outlets 331, so that different corresponding first water outlets 331 can discharge water. The shape of the first water outlet 331 can also be designed to be different to change the water discharge pattern. The appropriate solution is selected according to the actual situation.
[0077] Reference Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, multiple water outlet holes 267 include a first water outlet hole 261, a second water outlet hole 262, a third water outlet hole 263, a fourth water outlet hole 264 and a fifth water outlet hole 265. The first water outlet hole 261 is connected to the first water diversion area 253, the second water outlet hole 262 is connected to the second water diversion area 254, the third water outlet hole 263 is connected to the third water diversion area 255, the fourth water outlet hole 264 is connected to the fourth water diversion area 256, and the fifth water outlet hole 265 is connected to the fifth water diversion area 257. At least one of the first water outlet hole 261, the second water outlet hole 262, the third water outlet hole 263, the fourth water outlet hole 264 and the fifth water outlet hole 265 is connected to the water outlet cavity 310. It can be understood that by adopting the above scheme, by designing the first water outlet hole 261, the second water outlet hole 262, the third water outlet hole 263, the fourth water outlet hole 264 and the fifth water outlet hole 265 in different positions, different aperture sizes and different numbers, different water outlet effects can be achieved to meet the different usage needs of users.
[0078] Reference Figure 16 and Figure 17As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of second water outlets 266 are provided on the side of the water diversion body 260 away from the water diversion plate 240, and the plurality of second water outlets 266 are arranged at intervals around the circumference of the decorative cover 350. Among them, the plurality of second water outlets 266 form a first water outlet hole 261, and the second water outlets 266 are provided through the cover assembly 300. It is understandable that since the second water outlet 266 is provided through the cover assembly 300, the first water outlet hole 261 and the water outlet cavity 310 may not be connected, and water can be discharged directly through the second water outlet 266. A jet groove can be provided at the water inlet of the second water outlet 266 to increase the water inlet speed. At the same time, the minimum drainage cross-sectional area of the first water outlet hole 261 is greater than the minimum drainage cross-sectional area of the second water outlet hole 262, the third water outlet hole 263, the fourth water outlet hole 264 and the fifth water outlet hole 265, so that a larger water column can be discharged.
[0079] Reference Figure 17 As shown, in this embodiment of the present invention, the cover assembly 300 further includes a plurality of third water outlets 341 spaced circumferentially around the decorative cover 350. The inner cavity of the third water outlet 341 is connected to the third water outlet hole 263. The second water outlet hole 262, the fourth water outlet hole 264, and the fifth water outlet hole 265 are directly connected to the water outlet cavity 310. Therefore, the first water outlet 331, the second water outlet 266, and the third water outlet 341 can discharge water according to different communication conditions, allowing the showerhead 1000 to change the water pattern and water flow intensity. The second water outlet 266 is inserted into the third water outlet 341, and the outer wall of the second water outlet 266 is spaced from the inner wall of the third water outlet 341, allowing water to flow from the outer wall of the second water outlet 266 and the inner wall of the third water outlet 341. This allows water to flow from the outer wall of the second water outlet 266 and the inner wall of the third water outlet 341, thereby enriching the water flow pattern of the showerhead 1000 and improving the user experience.
[0080] A shower device according to one embodiment of the present invention includes the shower head 1000 of the above embodiment, and further includes a top shower, a faucet, a regulating valve, and other structures. The shower device according to the present embodiment of the present invention utilizes the shower head 1000 of the above embodiment. The shower head 1000 comprises a housing 100 including a handle portion 110 and a water outlet portion 120 connected thereto. The outlet assembly 200 is disposed in a receiving cavity 121 of the outlet portion 120. The cover 340 assembly 300 is connected to the outlet portion 120 and covers the opening of the receiving cavity 121. The outlet cavity 310 formed between the cover 340 assembly 300 and the outlet assembly 200 communicates with the first water inlet channel 111 of the outlet assembly 200. The drain hole 320 of the cover 340 assembly 300 and the first water outlet nozzle 331 communicate with the outlet cavity 310. The blocking member 420 of the blocking member 400 is disposed in the mounting cavity 411 of the mounting seat 410, and the first elastic member 430 is connected to the blocking member 420. When the showerhead 1000 is in the water-discharging state, water enters the second water-discharging channel 210 of the water outlet assembly 200 from the first water inlet channel 111 of the handle 110, then passes through the water outlet chamber 310, and finally exits from the first water outlet nozzle 331. At this point, the blocking member 420, under the action of the water pressure, overcomes the elastic force of the first elastic member 430 and moves toward the drain hole 320 to close it, thereby preventing the water flowing out of the drain hole 320 from affecting the water-discharging function of the showerhead 1000. When the showerhead 1000 is in the water-off state, the blocking member 420, freed from the water pressure, moves away from the drain hole 320 under the elastic force of the first elastic member 430, thereby opening the drain hole 320 and allowing any residual water accumulated in the water outlet chamber 310 to drain through the drain hole 320. After use, the showerhead 1000 typically has the handle 110 clipped onto the bracket. Therefore, the drain hole 320 is located on the side of the cover 340 assembly 300 near the handle 110. Under the action of gravity, residual water will converge toward the side of the water outlet cavity 310 near the handle 110, allowing for maximum drainage.
[0081] Since the shower device adopts all the technical solutions of the shower head 1000 of the above embodiment, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiment, which will not be described in detail here.
[0082] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
