DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the utility model for which protection is claimed, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention.

[0035] Example

[0036] Combine Figures 1 to 8 This embodiment provides an intelligent remote-controlled shower, comprising an outer housing 1 and a water flow body disposed within the outer housing 1. The water flow body is provided with a main valve body 2 and a thermostatic valve body 3. The thermostatic valve body 3 is provided with a thermostatic valve 4, a cold water inlet channel 5, a hot water inlet channel 6, and a mixed water channel 7. The main valve body 2 is provided with a water inlet channel connected to the mixed water channel 7 and multiple water outlet channels arranged in parallel, each of which is equipped with a corresponding solenoid valve 8.

[0037] The showerhead also includes a control circuit board 9 and a wireless communication module 10. The control circuit board 9 is electrically connected to the thermostatic valve 4, each solenoid valve 8, and the wireless communication module 10. The wireless communication module 10 is configured to receive control signals from an external remote control 21 and input corresponding signals to the control circuit board 9. The control circuit board 9 is adapted to adjust the temperature of the water output from the thermostatic valve 4 to the mixed water channel 7 and to select at least one outlet for water discharge.

[0038] The above-mentioned intelligent remote-controlled shower head, through the wireless remote control module, allows users to conveniently control the water temperature and water flow switch of the shower head from a distance, without having to directly touch the mechanical buttons or knobs of the shower head, thereby avoiding the risk of cross-contact infection. It is particularly suitable for multi-user or public bathroom environments. On the one hand, the mutual cooperation of the thermostatic valve body 3 and the thermostatic valve 4 can accurately adjust the water temperature and ensure the stability of the water outlet temperature, avoiding burns or discomfort caused by water temperature fluctuations in traditional shower heads. By adjusting the thermostatic valve 4 through the control circuit board 9, the user's requirements for water temperature accuracy can be better met. On the other hand, the main valve body 2 is equipped with multiple water outlets, and each water outlet is equipped with an independent solenoid valve 8. The user can select different water outlets for control as needed, providing greater flexibility and personalized water flow settings. Different water flow modes can be selected, such as top spray water, shower water, spray gun water, or bubble water water, thereby improving the comfort and functionality of the shower.

[0039] The showerhead is equipped with a wireless communication module 10 that receives remote control signals, making operation simple and convenient, reducing the need for physical contact. This prevents slippery and accidental touches during water flow or temperature adjustment, enhancing user safety. By connecting the control circuit board 9 with the solenoid valves 8, thermostatic valve 4, and wireless communication module 10, a variety of intelligent functions are implemented. Users can control the showerhead via a remote control 21 or a smart home system, achieving a more convenient and personalized shower experience.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the main valve body 2 and thermostatic valve body 3 are positioned opposite each other within the outer housing 1, and the mixed water channel 7 is connected to the water inlet via a connector 11. The two opposing valve bodies facilitate a compact arrangement of internal components. Furthermore, connector 11 connects the mixed water channel 7 and the water inlet, allowing for more efficient and heat-insulated delivery of heated mixed water to the outlet for use.

[0041] Furthermore, the connector 11 is placed horizontally in the middle of the junction of the two valve bodies, and the two ends of the connector 11 are directly screwed to the mixed water channel 7 and the water inlet. As a result, the connector 11 is used to connect the channel and the waterway more compactly and smoothly, greatly improving the tightness and connectivity between the waterways.

[0042] In this embodiment, the water-passing body is further provided with a hydroelectric power generation chamber, housing a hydroelectric generator 12. The control circuit board 9 is electrically connected to a lithium battery 13, and the hydroelectric generator and the lithium battery 13 are electrically connected. Preferably, the hydroelectric power generation chamber is specifically formed within the mixing water channel 7 to ensure the safety of hydroelectric power generation. It should be noted that the electrical energy generated by the hydroelectric generator 12 is further stored in the lithium battery 13, thereby achieving both energy storage and power supply.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the showerhead also includes a temperature display 14 and a function display 15 electrically connected to the control circuit board 9. The temperature display 14 has its own temperature sensor and displays the current water temperature output by the thermostatic valve body 3. The function display 15 illuminates patterns to indicate whether the water path is being sprayed, showered, sprayed, or aerated. This dual display visually displays the water temperature and the current water function, further facilitating daily showering.

[0044] In this embodiment, the outer shell 1 is configured as a rectangular control box, with a transparent panel 16 provided in front of the rectangular control box. The function display screen 15 and the temperature display screen 14 are disposed in front of the two valve bodies so as to fit within the inner side of the transparent panel 16. The transparent panel 16 is a glass panel, allowing the user to intuitively view the contents displayed on the display screen.

[0045] In this embodiment, the thermostatic valve body 3 is further equipped with a water outlet connector 17 and a mechanical valve core 18 mounted thereon. The water outlet connector 17 is connected to the mixed water channel 7 and is arranged in parallel with the water inlet. Clearly, the water outlet connector 17 and the mechanical valve core 18 are directly connected to the handle to provide additional manually adjustable water flow for the user. This creates an additional water outlet along the mixed water channel 7, enabling quick and convenient manual water flow without the need for solenoid valve 8 control.

[0046] Preferably, at least four water outlets and four corresponding solenoid valves 8 are provided. It should be noted that the water outlets are each externally connected to a top spray, a shower head, a spray gun, and a bubble water dispenser. The multiple water outlets of the shower are respectively connected to different water outlet terminals such as a top spray, a shower head, a spray gun, and a bubble water dispenser, providing more options. Users can freely switch between different water outlet modes according to their needs to meet different showering needs. Whether it is a full-body top spray, a directional spray shower head, a precisely controlled spray gun, or comfortable bubble water, they can all be precisely controlled by the remote control 21, enhancing the user's personalized experience.

[0047] The mixed water channel 7 or water inlet is equipped with a water pressure sensor 19, which is used to sense water pressure after a water outage and provide feedback to the switching solenoid valve 8 for automatic closure. Specifically, the hydroelectric generator 12 in the mixed water channel 7 is electrically connected to the water pressure sensor 19. After the water is cut off, the hydroelectric generator 12 stops generating electricity, causing the detected output current to approach zero. At this point, the water pressure sensor 19 begins to monitor the water pressure in the mixed water channel 7 below the preset 0.05MPa. It can promptly sense the water pressure change and feedback the signal to the switching solenoid valve 8 to automatically shut off the water flow, greatly improving the safety of the shower and preventing abnormal water pressure or uncontrolled water flow. When a water supply problem occurs, the water pressure sensor 19 can respond promptly and shut off the water flow, avoiding waste or potential flooding caused by prolonged water flow.

[0048] Among them, the control circuit board 9 is electrically connected to a timer 20. The timer 20 is used to feed back to the corresponding switch to automatically close the solenoid valve 8 after obtaining that the opening time of any solenoid valve 8 reaches a preset time. Furthermore, the control circuit board 9 has a built-in timing program, and the start timing work of the timer 20 is specifically triggered by the opened solenoid valve 8, so as to measure the opening time of the solenoid valve 8. By connecting the control circuit board 9 to the timer 20, the shower can monitor the opening time of each solenoid valve 8 in real time. When the opening time of the solenoid valve 8 reaches the preset time (for example, 30 minutes), the timer 20 will automatically feed back a signal to the solenoid valve 8, triggering it to automatically close, effectively preventing the waste of water resources and uncontrolled water flow due to forgetting to close the solenoid valve 8 for a long time, thereby improving the safety of the equipment.

[0049] Combine Figures 6 to 8 This embodiment further provides a multifunctional shower device, including a remote controller 21 and the aforementioned intelligent remote-controlled shower. The remote controller 21 is provided separately from the shower and is adapted to communicate with the wireless communication module 10 to output control signals corresponding to user operations to be received by the wireless communication module 10.

[0050] In the multifunctional shower device described above, the remote control 21 is separated from the shower unit, allowing the user to freely operate the shower unit from a wider range. Adjustments to water temperature, flow rate, and on / off are all possible without standing near the shower unit, greatly improving operational convenience and flexibility. Furthermore, the remote control 21 is integrated with the shower unit via a wireless communication module 10, eliminating direct contact with the shower unit's physical buttons or knobs, reducing the risk of cross-contact infection, and enabling precise and intelligent control of the shower unit's multifunctional water flow.

[0051] Specifically, the remote control 21 comprises an oblate housing 22 and a plurality of switch buttons arranged on a panel 23 of the oblate housing. The panel's outer ring houses a number of functional switch buttons 24, its inner ring houses temperature increase and decrease buttons 25, and its central area houses a temperature display 26. Thus, thanks to the oblate housing 22 and the diverse button layout of the remote control 21, users can more conveniently and intuitively control various shower functions, such as water temperature adjustment, water flow mode selection, and real-time temperature monitoring. This not only enhances the ease and comfort of use of the remote control 21, but also enhances the overall user experience through its simple and aesthetically pleasing appearance, significantly improving and innovating the design of the traditional remote control 21.
