Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shower devices, in particular to a switching mechanism for a shower switch. Background Art

[0002] A shower is a device used for showering. Its main function is to save water by reducing flow, extending service life, and quantifying water supply. According to different control methods, showers can be divided into mechanical showers and non-contact showers. According to the impact on water quality, they can be divided into ordinary showers and functional showers. Compared with bathing in a bathtub, showers save more water and space, and are therefore more in line with environmental protection concepts. Showers are usually the first choice in public baths, changing rooms, and other places where it is inconvenient to install bathtubs.

[0003] Taking into account the diversity of uses, today's shower heads have two water outlet methods on the water outlet device in front of the shower head. One is the direct pouring of water, which is convenient for collecting water sources, and the other is the diffusion of water, which is mainly used for showering. The two different water outlet methods bring extraordinary effects and are convenient to use.

[0004] Because the two water outlet modes are located at the top of the same shower head, a switch switching structure is required to achieve the appropriate water outlet effect by adjusting the mode when needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a switching mechanism for a shower switch to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a switching mechanism for a shower switch, comprising a switching housing, a through hole provided on the surface of the switching housing, a connecting column assembled on the through hole, a front plate mounted at the front end of the connecting column, a rotating handle mounted on the surface of the front plate, an output port provided on the surface of the switching housing, an output pipe assembled at the upper end of the output port, an internal housing assembled inside the switching housing, a rotating groove provided in the middle of the internal housing, and a rotating housing assembled in the middle of the rotating groove.

[0007] Preferably, rotating ends are assembled on both sides of the rotating shell, and the rotating ends are assembled on the surface of the connecting column.

[0008] Preferably, the output housing is mounted on the upper end of the rotating housing, and a sealing plate is mounted on the upper end of the output housing, with a through opening being provided on the surface of the sealing plate.

[0009] Preferably, the through port is aligned with the output port, and an attachment layer is installed inside the output tube, and a compression pad is installed at the bottom of the attachment layer.

[0010] Preferably, a connection port is provided on the side of the switching housing, and a connection layer is provided inside the connection port, and a connecting water pipe is assembled at the connection layer.

[0011] Preferably, meshing layers are assembled on both sides of the connecting layer, and a meshing block is installed at the upper end of the connecting water pipe, and fixed plates are installed at both ends of the meshing layer.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0013] 1. Compared with the switching mechanisms of other shower switches, this device is more sophisticated in design. The main design concept is that a one-way water outlet valve is installed inside, and the surface of the switching shell is connected to two different water outlet nozzles. The replacement effect of the water outlet valve is used to give the device a switching effect during showering. In addition, the device takes into account the possibility of internal water leakage when adjusting the water outlet valve. A sealing plate is installed at the bottom of the output water pipe and an extrusion pad is installed at the pipe mouth. This can produce a relative squeezing effect, so that the gap between the water outlet valve and the output water pipe is as small as possible after it is aligned with the output water pipe.

[0014] 2. In addition, the device is cleverly designed, small in size, easy to replace, and low in cost, and is simple and reliable to maintain or disassemble. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The through hole is designed at the front surface of the switch housing 2 and is perpendicular to the upper output port. A connecting column 5 is assembled on the through hole, and a front plate 3 is mounted at the front end of the connecting column 5. The installation of the front block provides a carrier support for other components. A rotating handle 4 is mounted on the surface of the front plate 3 to facilitate adjustment by the user during use. An output port is provided on the surface of the switch housing 2, and an output pipe 1 is assembled at the upper end of the output port. A built-in housing 15 is assembled inside the switch housing 2, and a rotating groove is provided in the middle of the built-in housing 15. A rotating housing 17 is assembled in the middle of the rotating groove.

[0023] refer to Figure 2 、 3 The main body is a rotating shell 17. Rotating ends 16 are assembled on both sides of the rotating shell 17, and the rotating ends 16 are assembled on the surface of the connecting column 5. The effect of the connecting rod drives the rotation of the rotating end 16, so that the rotating shell 17 in the middle follows the rotation. Secondly, the rotating end 16 is connected to the surface of the rotating shell 17. The rotating shell 17 itself is sealed, and there is a space in the middle for water to flow. The upper end of the rotating shell 17 is installed with the output shell 14, and the upper end of the output shell 14 is equipped with a sealing plate 12. When adjusting, the output shell 14 is prone to leaving gaps inside. The design of the sealing plate 12 makes the output shell 14 always maintain the port extrusion state during rotation, avoiding the gaps on the side that cause water to leak out when output. A through hole is provided on the surface of the sealing plate 12, and the through hole is aligned with the output port. The output pipe 1 is equipped with an attachment layer 13, and an extrusion pad 11 is assembled at the bottom of the attachment layer 13. The extrusion pad 11 is mainly used to seal the edge position when aligning with the output pipe 1.

When the rotating shell rotates, the connecting water pipe 10 will be driven to rotate. The connecting layer 7 is used to provide space for the device to extend to prevent the connecting water pipe 10 from being restricted and loosening during rotation. Engaging layers 8 are assembled on both sides of the connecting layer 7, and an engaging block 9 is installed on the upper end of the connecting water pipe 10. The installation of the meshing layer 8 and the meshing block 9 is used to stabilize the connection of this part to the water source output device, and fixed plates 6 are installed at both ends of the meshing layer 8.

[0025] During actual use, the device is first assembled on the water source output device, and the design of the meshing layer 8 and the meshing block 9 is used to ensure a stable connection between the two. Secondly, the output pipe 1 at the front end is connected to different water outlet components respectively. As the installation is completed, water is output to the inside, reaches the inside through the connecting water pipe 10, and is stored inside the rotating shell 17 and sent to the upper end. The position of the output shell 14 is adjusted as needed. The two output ports on the surface of the switching shell 2 correspond to different output modes. Grab the rotating handle 4 and rotate it to switch the output pipe 1 aligned with the output shell 14, so that water flows to the required output pipe 1. The sealing plate 12 and the extrusion pad 11 provided inside ensure that no water leaks during the switching process.
