Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen and bathroom, and more specifically, to a descaling shower head. Background Technology
[0002] Descaling showerheads are designed and manufactured to reduce or eliminate mineral deposits in water, typically formed from calcium and magnesium ions in hard water. In many areas, tap water contains high concentrations of minerals such as calcium and magnesium. These minerals can form deposits during heating, adhering to showerheads, pipes, and other plumbing fixtures. Over time, limescale builds up inside the showerhead, reducing water flow and even clogging the spray nozzles. This not only affects the showering experience but can also damage the equipment.
[0003] To address this issue, descaling showerheads employ various technologies, such as built-in filters, special surface coatings, or the use of chemicals like citric acid to prevent limescale formation. Some descaling showerheads are designed for easy disassembly and cleaning, allowing users to regularly remove limescale and maintain the showerhead's performance.
[0004] Descaling showerheads help reduce water waste and energy consumption caused by limescale buildup because users don't need to frequently replace or repair clogged showerheads. Reducing limescale buildup also helps improve water quality and reduce dry skin and hair problems, as minerals in hard water can irritate skin and hair. With increasing focus on health and quality of life, and growing awareness of water conservation, descaling showerheads are becoming increasingly popular with consumers.
[0005] In general, descaling showerheads are products designed to improve the showering experience, extend equipment life, save water, and reduce maintenance costs. Summary of the Invention

Example
[0049] This embodiment is intended to illustrate the application of the descaling shower head structure of this utility model in a multi-functional shower head. For example... Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a descaling shower head includes a body 1, a water distribution plate 2, a descaling plate 3, and a water outlet assembly 4.
[0050] The main body 1 includes a water inlet channel 11 and a mounting groove 12. An outlet 110 is located at the end of the water inlet channel 11, and a cat's eye pad 123 and a preload spring 124 are provided between the outlet 110 and the water distribution plate 2. A positioning post 121 and at least two sets of guide rails 122 arranged in a circular pattern are provided inside the mounting groove 12. In this embodiment, there are three sets of guide rails 122. Specifically, each set of guide rails 122 includes a first guide rail surface 1221 and a second guide rail surface 1222, and the first guide rail surface 1221 and the second guide rail surface 1222 are naturally transitioned by an inclined surface 1223.
[0051] Three positioning holes are provided on the inner side of the water distribution plate 2. A spring 125 and a positioning pin 126 are provided between the main body 1 and the water distribution plate 2, and the spring 125 and the positioning pin 126 are located on the positioning post 121.
[0052] The inner side of the descaling plate 3 is provided with at least two sets of guide posts 31, which pass through the water distribution plate 2 and slide in cooperation with the guide rail 122. The outer side of the descaling plate 3 is provided with descaling needles 32, which are columnar. In this embodiment, three sets of guide posts 31 are preferred. The descaling plate 3 is provided with several through holes 30, and the outer side of the water distribution plate 2 is provided with several protrusions 21, which pass through several through holes 30. The water distribution plate 2 is provided with three mounting holes 20 for the three sets of guide posts 31 to pass through. The guide post 31 includes a main post 311 and a support post 312, which is used to slide in cooperation with the guide rail 122.
[0053] The water outlet assembly 4 includes a panel 41 and a water outlet screen 42. The water outlet screen 42 includes several soft rubber nozzles 421, each nozzle 421 being flat-headed and having one or more spray holes 4211. The panel 41 includes a first water outlet area 411 and a second water outlet area 412. The water distribution plate 2 includes a first water distribution hole 22 and a second water distribution hole 23. The panel 41 is equipped with a manual handle 413.
[0054] The water distribution plate 2, descaling plate 3, and water outlet assembly 4 are coaxially and synchronously mounted in the mounting groove 12 from the inside out. When the water outlet assembly 4 rotates, the descaling plate 3 and the water distribution plate 2 rotate synchronously. The descaling plate 3 slides and moves up and down through the guide post 31 and the guide rail 122, so that the descaling needle 32 can be inserted into the water outlet assembly 4 to remove scale.
[0055] like Figures 6 to 8 As shown, when the handle 413 is in the first position, the support 312 of the descaling plate 3 is located in the first position of the guide rail 122. At this time, the descaling plate 3 is close to the water distribution plate 2, the descaling needle 32 is away from the water outlet 421, and the water flows through the water inlet channel 11, through the first water distribution hole 22, and then out through the first water outlet area 411. In this embodiment, the first water outlet area 411 is configured as a shower water outlet, and the shower water flow rate is relatively large at this time. Figures 9 to 11As shown, when the handle 413 is in the second position, the support 312 of the descaling plate 3 is in the second position of the guide rail 122. At this time, the descaling plate 3 moves away from the water distribution plate 2 towards the water outlet 421. After the water flows through the water inlet channel 11, it simultaneously flows through the first water distribution hole 22 and the second water distribution hole 23, and then flows out through the first water outlet area 411 and the second water outlet area 412 respectively. In this embodiment, the first water outlet area 411 is configured as shower water, and the second water outlet area 412 is configured as bulb water, that is, the shower head simultaneously outputs shower water and bulb water. At this time, the shower water flow rate is relatively small. Figures 12 to 14 As shown, when the handle 413 is in the third position, the support 312 of the descaling plate 3 is in the third position of the guide rail 122. At this time, the descaling needle 32 is fully inserted into the water outlet 421 of the first water outlet area 411, blocking the water outlet 421 from flowing out. The first water outlet area 411 is in a water-stopped state. After the water flows through the water inlet channel 11, it flows through the second water distribution hole 23 and then flows out through the second water outlet area 412, which is the light bulb water from the shower head. During the process of the descaling needle 32 being fully inserted into the water outlet 421, the water flow forms a pressure in the closed space formed by the descaling needle 32 and the water outlet 421, which pushes open the spray hole 4211 of the water outlet 421, causing it to deform and achieve the purpose of removing scale from the water outlet. Example
[0056] A descaling shower head includes a body 1, a cover plate 2A, a descaling plate 3, and a water outlet component 4A.
[0057] The main body 1 includes a water inlet channel 11 and a mounting groove 12. At least two sets of guide rails 122 are arranged in a circular pattern inside the mounting groove 12. The cover plate 2A, descaling plate 3, and water outlet component 4A are coaxially and synchronously mounted in the mounting groove 12 from the inside out. At least two sets of guide posts 31 are correspondingly provided on the inner side of the descaling plate 3, which pass through the cover plate 2A and slide in cooperation with the guide rails 122. Descaling needles 32 are provided on the outer side of the descaling plate 3. When the water outlet component 4 rotates, the descaling plate 3 and the cover plate 2A rotate synchronously. The descaling plate 3 slides in cooperation with the guide rails 122 through the guide posts 31 and floats up and down so that the descaling needles 32 can be inserted into the water outlet component 4A for descaling.
[0058] The water outlet assembly 4A includes a panel 41A and a water outlet screen 42. The water outlet screen 42 includes several soft rubber nozzles 421, each nozzle 421 being flat-headed and having one or more spray holes 4211. The cover plate 2A includes a water passage hole 24. The panel 41A is equipped with a manual handle 413.
[0059] This embodiment is intended to illustrate the application of the descaling shower head structure of this utility model in a single-function shower head. Except for the structure described above, the rest of the structure in this embodiment is the same as that in the first embodiment, so it will not be described again here.
[0060] like Figures 16 to 18As shown, when the handle 143 is in the first position, the support 312 of the descaling plate 3 is located in the first position of the guide rail 122. At this time, the descaling plate 3 is against the cover plate 2A, the descaling needle 32 is away from the water outlet 421, and the water flows through the inlet channel 11, through the outlet 110, through the water passage 24, and then through the water outlet assembly 4A. In this embodiment, the water outlet assembly 4A is configured to output all the shower water, and at this time the shower water flow rate is relatively large. Figures 19 to 21 As shown, when the handle is in the second position, the support 312 of the descaling plate 3 is in the second position of the guide rail 122. At this time, the descaling plate 3 moves away from the cover plate 2A towards the water outlet 421, and the descaling needle 32 extends into the water outlet 421. After the water flows through the inlet channel 11, it flows through the outlet 110, the water passage 24, and then out through the water outlet assembly 4A. At this time, the water flow rate of the shower head is relatively small. Figures 22 to 24 As shown, when the handle 413 is in the third position, the support 312 of the descaling plate 3 is in the third position of the guide rail 122. At this time, the descaling needle 32 is fully inserted into the water outlet 421, blocking the water outlet 421 from flowing out. The shower head is in a stopped state. During the process of the descaling needle 32 being fully inserted into the water outlet 421, pressure is formed in the closed space formed by the descaling needle 32 and the water outlet 421, which pushes open the spray hole 4211 of the water outlet 421, causing it to deform and achieve the purpose of removing scale from the water outlet.
