Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bathroom products, in particular to a shower rod and a shower with a water channel control structure. Background Art

[0002] Existing showerheads typically place the water control structure within the faucet body. As the number of water outlets connected to the faucet body increases, the space occupied by the water control structure also increases, which in turn increases the size of the faucet body. Installing such showerheads in a relatively confined space can result in a reduced showering experience. Therefore, to conserve the volume of the faucet body, some showerheads also place the water control structure between the faucet body and the shower rod. For example, Chinese patent CN116392030A discloses a shower control module and showerhead that utilizes a vertical control body connected to the shower rod, thereby conserving structural space within the faucet body. However, the thickness and width of the control body are significantly greater than those of the shower rod, reducing the overall aesthetics of the showerhead. Furthermore, the thickness of the control body prevents the shower rod from being mounted against a wall. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model discloses a shower rod with a water channel control structure, aiming to improve the problem that the water channel control structure of an existing shower takes up a large space.

[0004] The utility model adopts the following scheme:

[0005] A shower rod with a water channel control structure includes a rod body and a water flow piece. The rod body has a consistent profile from top to bottom. The water flow piece is installed or formed inside the rod body and is provided with a valve cavity, a water inlet channel and at least two water outlet channels. The valve cavity is connected to the water inlet channel and contains a valve core arranged horizontally along the width direction of the rod body. The valve stem of the valve core faces the side of the rod body and is connected to a handle. The handle is driven in an operably manner to control the connection and disconnection between the water inlet channel and each water outlet channel.

[0006] As a further improvement, a plurality of water diversion chambers are formed in the valve cavity, each of which is used to communicate with a water outlet channel, wherein each water diversion chamber is provided with a valve core, and each valve core is connected to a handle. By pressing the handle, the opening and closing of the valve core connected thereto is controlled, thereby correspondingly controlling the opening and closing of the water outlet channel and the water inlet channel of the water diversion chamber where the valve core is located.

[0007] As a further improvement, each valve core has the same structure and is provided with a water inlet and a water outlet. The water inlet is provided on the bottom surface of the valve core, and the water outlet is connected to the bottom surface and side surface of the valve core via a water flow groove, so that the bottom surface and / or side surface of the valve core can be connected to the water outlet channel.

[0008] As a further improvement, the handles are arranged at equal distances along the length direction of the rod body and are configured to be similar to the outline of the surrounding rod body.

[0009] As a further improvement, an assembly hole adapted to the valve stem is provided on the inner side of the handle, and the cross-sectional shape of the end of the valve stem connected to the assembly hole is rectangular, and the length direction of the rectangle is the same as the length direction of the rod body to reduce the thickness of the handle.

[0010] As a further improvement, the water inlet channel and each water outlet channel are arranged along the length direction of the rod body, the water inlet channel is used to communicate with the water outlet channel on the faucet body, and each water outlet channel includes a first water outlet channel and a second water outlet channel arranged toward the bottom direction of the rod body, and a third water outlet channel and a fourth water outlet channel arranged toward the top direction of the rod body.

Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in 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 sought, but merely represents the selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments in 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. Example

[0038] Combine Figures 1 to 13 The present embodiment provides a shower rod with a water channel control structure, including a rod body 1 and a water flow member 2. The rod body 1 has a consistent profile from top to bottom. The water flow member 2 is installed or formed inside the rod body 1 and is provided with a valve cavity 21, a water inlet channel 22 and at least two water outlet channels. The valve cavity 21 is connected to the water inlet channel 22, and a valve core 3 is disposed therein and is arranged horizontally along the width direction of the rod body 1. The valve stem 31 of the valve core 3 faces the side of the rod body 1 and is connected to the handle 4. The handle 4 is driven in an operative manner to control the connection and disconnection between the water inlet channel 22 and each water outlet channel.

[0039] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the rod body 1 has a consistent profile from top to bottom, ensuring the shower rod's overall appearance and creating a more streamlined design. Furthermore, the water passage 2 is positioned within the rod body 1 to fully utilize the rod body's internal space. The valve core 3 is arranged along the width of the rod body 1, preventing the rod body 1 from being excessively thick, thus ensuring its aesthetically pleasing appearance. The valve stem 31 of the valve core 3 faces the side of the rod body 1, allowing at least part of the handle 4's thickness to overlap with the thickness of the rod body 1, thereby preventing the handle 4 from protruding excessively from the front of the rod body 1. Compared to the prior art, this design fully utilizes the rod body 1's internal space, resulting in a more integrated, streamlined, and aesthetically pleasing shower rod. This eliminates the problem of the water control structure occupying a large amount of space on the faucet body, making it easier to install in relatively confined shower spaces.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of water diversion chambers are formed in the valve cavity 21, each of which is used to communicate with a water outlet channel, wherein each water diversion chamber is provided with a valve core 3, and each valve core 3 is connected to a handle 4. By pressing the handle 4, the valve core 3 connected thereto is controlled to open and close, and the water outlet channel and the water inlet channel of the water diversion chamber where the valve core 3 is located are correspondingly controlled to be open and closed. For example, the water inlet channel 22 and each water outlet channel are arranged along the length of the rod body 1, and the water inlet channel 22 is arranged toward the bottom of the rod body 1 and is used to communicate with the water outlet channel on the faucet body. Each water outlet channel includes a first water outlet channel 23 and a second water outlet channel 24 arranged toward the bottom of the rod body 1, and a third water outlet channel 25 and a fourth water outlet channel 26 arranged toward the top of the rod body 1. The first and second water outlet channels 23 and 24 are respectively connected to the lower water outlet and the shower head, the third water outlet channel 25 is connected to the top spray, and the fourth water outlet channel 26 is configured to communicate with the side spray assembly 5 configured on the rod body 1. Four water diversion chambers are formed in the valve cavity 21, and four valve cores are configured in each water diversion chamber corresponding to each water outlet channel, namely the first valve core, the second valve core, the third valve core, and the fourth valve core. By pressing the first handle connected to the first valve core, water flows from the lower water outlet connected to the first water outlet channel 23, and the lower water outlet can be configured as waterfall water. When the second handle connected to the second valve core is pressed, water flows from the shower head connected to the second water outlet channel 24. When the third handle connected to the third valve core is pressed, water flows from the top spray connected to the third water outlet channel 25. When the fourth handle connected to the fourth valve core is pressed, water flows from the side spray assembly 5 connected to the fourth water outlet channel 26. The valve core 3 is a ceramic on-off valve. The structure and operating principle of the internal dynamic and static ceramic discs are prior art and will not be further described here. In this embodiment, the corresponding water outlet device can be activated by pressing the corresponding handle 4. The operation is simple and clear, which can avoid misoperation. Compared with traditional switching valves, multiple water outlet devices can be used to discharge water simultaneously, which is more flexible and diverse in use.

[0041] In one embodiment, each valve core 3 has the same structure and is provided with a water inlet 32 ​​and a water outlet 33. The water inlet 32 ​​is provided on the bottom surface of the valve core 3, and the water outlet 33 is connected to the bottom surface and side surface of the valve core 3 via a water channel 34, so that the bottom surface and / or side surface of the valve core 3 can be connected to the water outlet channel. For example, the water inlet 32 ​​on each valve core 3 is connected to the water inlet channel 22, and a sealing ring 35 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the valve core 3 near the valve stem 31, so that the range from the sealing ring 35 to the bottom surface of the valve core 3 can be used to communicate with the water outlet channel, so that each valve core 3 can be parallel to each other and arranged along the length direction of the rod body 1, which is beneficial to the design of each water outlet channel, making the design of the water outlet channel more compact and reducing the structural space of the water flow part 2. In addition, the mold opening cost of the valve core 3 can be saved, and the problem of incorrect installation of the valve core 3 can also be avoided.

[0042] Furthermore, each handle 4 is arranged equidistantly along the length of the rod body 1 and is configured to resemble the contours of the surrounding rod body 1. For example, the exposed surface of the handle 4 is flush with the surface of the valve stem 31, so that the assembly of each handle 4 does not destroy the overall aesthetics of the shower rod, and the aesthetic contours of the shower rod from top to bottom are maintained, thereby making the shower rod look simpler and more refined. For example, an assembly hole 41 is provided on the inner side of the handle 4 to adapt to the valve stem 31. The cross-sectional shape of the end of the valve stem 31 for connection to the assembly hole 41 is rectangular, and the longitudinal direction of the rectangle is the same as the longitudinal direction of the rod body 1, so as to reduce the thickness of the handle 4. The handle 4 can also be configured as an elongated strip extending along the length of the rod body 1 to adapt to the rod body 1. In another embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the rod body 1 can be configured as a rectangle, and the handle 4 has an exposed surface that resembles the front and side contours of the rod body 1 to maintain consistency in appearance. In another embodiment, a shaping groove 11 may be provided on the side of the rod body 1 where the handle 4 is installed. The shaping groove 11 is L-shaped to reduce the thickness of the rod body 1 at the handle 4, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the rod body 1 and avoiding a bulky feeling.

[0043] On the basis of the above embodiment, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, a mounting groove 12 is provided on one side of the rod body 1, and the water passage 2 is configured to be inserted into the rod body 1 along the length direction of the rod body 1, so that the valve cavity 21 is aligned with the mounting groove 12. The valve core 3 is configured to be inserted along the mounting groove 12 and pressed into the valve cavity 21 via the pressure cover 36, so that the water passage 2 is limited. Specifically, the rod body 1 is an aluminum tube, copper tube or stainless steel tube formed by extrusion, and the mounting groove 12 is machined on the rod body 1. The water inlet channel 22 and the water outlet channel on the water passage 2 are arranged along the length direction of the rod body 1. On the one hand, the hollow position inside the rod body 1 can be fully utilized, and on the other hand, it can be convenient for installation. During installation, the water-flow member 2 and its associated components are first inserted into the stem body 1 from the bottom, aligning the valve cavity 21 on the water-flow member 2 with the assembly slot 12. The valve core 3 is then inserted into the valve cavity 21 from the assembly slot 12, and the gland 36 is inserted into the valve stem 31. The threads on the gland 36 are then tightened with the threads on the valve cavity 21 to secure the valve core 3 and limit the water-flow member 2. This eliminates the need for a structure on the water-flow member 2 to secure it to the stem body 1, facilitating quick assembly and disassembly. Preferably, a decorative cover 121 is positioned within the assembly slot 12 to conceal the glands 36 and ensure an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0044] In other embodiments, the front surface of the rod body 1 is provided with a groove extending along the length direction, and a decorative plate 13 is embedded in the groove. The decorative plate 13 can be glass, which is connected with the rod body 1 by means of adhesive, so as to improve the texture of the appearance of the shower rod. The color of the glass can be selected, so that the appearance of the shower rod is more diversified. During installation, screw holes can be provided on the back surface of the rod body 1, or a connecting piece 14 is provided, which is locked with the back surface of the rod body 1 by means of screws, and mounting holes 141 are provided on the connecting piece 14, so that the connecting piece 14 can be hung on the fasteners of the wall, so as to limit the rod body 1.

[0045] Another embodiment of the utility model provides a shower, including tap main part, with the tap main part adaptation connection is as any one embodiment described above's shower rod with water passage control structure and with each water outlet flow passage one to one corresponding configuration's water outlet device. Among them, the water outlet device can be a shower, top spray, side spray, spray gun, lower water outlet and shoulder spray, etc., by setting water passage control structure on the shower rod, the internal space of the shower rod can be fully utilized, so as to reduce the water passage structure in the tap main body, reduce the space occupied by water passage control structure on the tap main body, avoid the problem of oversized tap volume. In addition, the traditional shower can only control the water passage on the tap body, which provides a new idea for the design of the shower.

[0046] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the utility model, the protection scope of the utility model is not only limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and all technical solutions under the idea of the utility model belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
