Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of shower heads, in particular to a top-spray shower head for draining residual water. Background Art

[0002] Showers, also known as showerheads, were originally devices used to water flowers, potted plants, and other plants. Later, they were modified to function as showers, making them a common fixture in bathrooms. They can be categorized by type: handheld showerheads, overhead showerheads, and side showerheads.

[0003] Although the current overhead shower head has a large water outlet area, making bathing more comfortable, its structure may cause hot water to remain in the shower head after bathing. The residual water will not only leak, but also breed bacteria if it stays in the shower head for a long time, which is likely to have an impact on the human body. At the same time, the shower head cover is very likely to become clogged as the use time increases. Most of the current shower heads do not have a mounting and disassembly structure. The problem can only be solved by replacing the shower head, which is costly. Therefore, the present application proposes an overhead shower head that can drain residual water to meet the needs.

The first slider is slidably connected to the first slide groove. The first spring is installed inside the first slide groove and its two ends are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom of the first slider and the inner wall of the bottom of the first slide groove. The first spring is made of stainless steel. The two ends of the second connecting rod are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom of the first slider and the top of the sealing ball.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the mounting assembly includes a cavity, a through groove, a clamping block, a swivel and an arc plate. The cavity is opened inside the inner wall of the mounting groove and is annular. The through groove passes through the inner wall of the cavity on one side close to the mounting groove and is connected to the mounting groove. The clamping block is slidably connected to the through groove, the swivel is rotatably connected to the cavity, and the arc plate is fixedly connected to the side of the swivel close to the mounting groove.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the mounting assembly further includes a second slide groove, a second slider and a second spring. The second slide groove is provided on the surface of the shower box and is connected to the cavity. The second slider is fixedly connected to the swivel and slidably connected to the second slide groove. The second spring is installed inside the second slide groove and its two ends are respectively fixedly connected to one side of the second slider and the inner wall of one side of the second slide groove.

[0013] In a possible implementation, the mounting assembly further includes a third slide groove, a third slider and a third spring.

At this time, the second connecting rod drives the first slider to slide downward along the first slide groove and squeezes the first spring. The first connecting rod drives the valve to slide downward along the empty groove. When the valve is tightly fitted with the bottom of the drain outlet, the sealing ball is removed from the connection between the connecting pipe and the shower box, and hot water enters the water cavity and bathing can begin. After bathing, the water pressure disappears, the first spring rebounds, and drives the sealing ball upward through the first slider and the second connecting rod. The sealing ball drives the valve upward through the first connecting rod. When the valve is removed from the drain outlet, the residual water in the water cavity can flow out through the drain outlet. This design enables the shower head to automatically discharge the residual water after the user finishes bathing, effectively preventing the hot water residue from breeding bacteria.

[0016] When the second slider is released, the second spring rebounds and drives the swivel and the curved plate to move in the opposite direction through the second slider. When the curved plate moves to the rear of the clamping block, the curved plate will push the clamping block toward the center of the mounting groove and fix it in the current position. At this time, the clamping block extends from the through groove and fits tightly with the bottom of the shower cover, thereby fixing the shower cover in the mounting groove. After repeating the above operation, the shower cover is removed from the mounting groove and the shower cover can be repaired or replaced. This design makes the installation and disassembly of the shower cover more convenient and quick, thereby making the maintenance of the shower cover more efficient. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0033] In some examples, the drainage assembly 4 includes a drain outlet 41, a hollow groove 42, a valve 43, a vertical groove 44 and a first connecting rod 45. The drain outlet 41 passes through the inner walls on both sides of the water chamber 3. The hollow groove 42 is opened inside the inner wall of the water chamber 3 and is above the drain outlet 41. The valve 43 is slidably connected to the hollow groove 42 and is of a matching size. The vertical groove 44 is opened on the inner wall surface of the water chamber 3 and is connected to the hollow groove 42. The first connecting rod 45 is fixedly connected to one side of the valve 43 and slidably connected to the vertical groove 44. Pressing the first connecting rod 45 downward along the vertical groove 44 can drive the valve 43 to slide downward along the hollow groove 42. When the valve 43 is tightly fitted with the bottom of the drain outlet 41, the drain outlet 41 can be closed. Pulling the first connecting rod 45 upward to drive the valve 43 to move out of the drain outlet 41 can open the drain outlet 41.

[0034] In some examples, the drain assembly 4 also includes a sealing ball 46, a first slide groove 47, a first slider 48, a first spring 49 and a second connecting rod 410. The sealing ball 46 is movably connected to the connection between the connecting pipe 2 and the shower box 1 and is of compatible size. The first connecting rod 45 is fixedly connected to both sides of the sealing ball 46. The first slide groove 47 is opened on the inner wall surface of the connecting pipe 2. The first slider 48 is slidably connected to the first slide groove 47. The first spring 49 is installed inside the first slide groove 47 and its two ends are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom of the first slider 48 and the inner wall of the bottom of the first slide groove 47. The first spring 49 is made of stainless steel. The two ends of the second connecting rod 410 are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom of the first slider 48 and the top of the sealing ball 46. Pressing the first slider 48 downward along the first slide groove 47 can squeeze the first spring 49 and drive the sealing ball 46 downward through the second connecting rod 410. Release the first slider 48, the first spring 49 rebounds and drives the sealing ball 46 upward through the first slider 48 and the second connecting rod 410.

[0035] In some examples, the mounting assembly 8 includes a cavity 81, a through groove 82, a block 83, a swivel 84 and an arc plate 85. The cavity 81 is opened inside the inner wall of the mounting groove 5 and is annular. The through groove 82 passes through the inner wall of the cavity 81 on one side close to the mounting groove 5 and is connected to the mounting groove 5. The block 83 is slidably connected to the through groove 82, the swivel 84 is rotatably connected to the cavity 81, and the arc plate 85 is fixedly connected to the side of the swivel 84 close to the mounting groove 5. The swivel 84 is rotated to drive the arc plate 85 to move synchronously. When the arc plate 85 moves to the rear of the block 83, it can be pushed out toward the mounting groove 5.

[0036] In some examples, the mounting assembly 8 further includes a second slide groove 86, a second slider 87 and a second spring 88. The second slide groove 86 is provided on the surface of the shower box 1 and communicates with the cavity 81. The second slider 87 is fixedly connected to the swivel 84 and slidably connected to the second slide groove 86. The second spring 88 is installed inside the second slide groove 86 and its two ends are respectively fixedly connected to one side of the second slider 87 and the inner wall of one side of the second slide groove 86. Sliding the second slider 87 along the second slide groove 86 can drive the swivel 84 to rotate synchronously and squeeze the second spring 88. When the second slider 87 is released, the second spring 88 rebounds to drive the swivel 84 to rotate in the opposite direction.

[0037] In some examples, the mounting assembly 8 further includes a third slide groove 89, a third slider 810 and a third spring 811. The third slide groove 89 is opened on the inner wall of the bottom of the cavity 81 and is below the block 83. The third slider 810 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the block 83 and slidably connected to the third slide groove 89. The third spring 811 is installed inside the third slide groove 89 and its two ends are respectively fixedly connected to one side of the third slider 810 and the inner wall of one side of the third slide groove 89. The second spring 88 and the third spring 811 are both made of stainless steel. The elastic force of the second spring 88 is greater than the sum of the elastic forces of multiple groups of third springs 811. When the arc plate 85 moves to the rear of the block 83, the block 83 will be pushed out. At this time, the block 83 will drive the third slider 810 to slide along the third slide groove 89 and squeeze the third spring 811. When the arc plate 85 moves away from the rear of the block 83, the third spring 811 rebounds and can drive the block 83 to move into the interior of the cavity 81 through the third slider 810.

[0038] In a specific application scenario, first slide the second slider 87 along the second slide groove 86 to squeeze the second spring 88. During this process, the swivel 84 drives the arc plate 85 to move synchronously with the second slider 87. When the arc plate 85 moves away from the rear of the block 83, the third spring 811 rebounds and drives the block 83 to move into the cavity 81 through the third slider 810. When the block 83 is immersed in the through groove 82, the shower cover 6 is placed in the installation groove 5 and the sealing gasket 7 is tightly fitted with the top inner wall of the installation groove 5, and then released. The second slider 87 and the second spring 88 rebound and drive the swivel 84 and the arc plate 85 to move in the opposite direction through the second slider 87. When the arc plate 85 moves to the rear of the clamping block 83, since the elastic force of the second spring 88 is greater than the sum of the elastic forces of the multiple groups of third springs 811, the arc plate 85 will push the clamping block 83 toward the center of the installation groove 5 and fix it in the current position. At this time, the clamping block 83 extends from the through groove 82 and fits tightly with the bottom of the shower cover 6, thereby fixing the shower cover 6 in the installation groove 5. After repeating the above operation, the shower cover 6 is removed from the installation groove 5. The shower head cover 6 can be repaired or replaced by removing it from the installation groove 5. After installing the shower head cover 6, the shower head box 1 can be connected to the water pipe through the connecting pipe 2 and the shower head can be used. During use, the water pipe sends hot water to the water cavity 3 through the connecting pipe 2. Since the sealing ball 46 is at the connection between the connecting pipe 2 and the shower head box 1, the sealing ball 46 will be pushed downward by the pressure of the hot water. At this time, the second connecting rod 410 drives the first slider 48 to slide downward along the first sliding groove 47 and squeeze the first spring 49. The first connecting rod 45 drives the valve 43 along The first spring 49 slides downward along the empty groove 42. When the valve 43 fits tightly against the bottom of the drain port 41, the sealing ball 46 is removed from the connection between the connecting pipe 2 and the shower box 1. Hot water enters the water chamber 3 and you can start bathing. After the bath is over, the water pressure disappears, the first spring 49 rebounds and drives the sealing ball 46 to move upward through the first slider 48 and the second connecting rod 410. The sealing ball 46 drives the valve 43 upward through the first connecting rod 45. When the valve 43 is removed from the drain port 41, the residual water in the water chamber 3 can flow out through the drain port 41.

[0039] By adopting the above technical solution, not only can the residual water be automatically discharged after the user finishes bathing, effectively preventing the hot water residue from breeding bacteria, but also the installation and removal of the shower cover can be made more convenient and quick, thereby making the maintenance of the shower cover more efficient.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit its implementation. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that other variations or modifications based on the above description are possible. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Obvious variations or modifications arising therefrom remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
