Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom fixtures, and in particular to a shower head connection structure. Background Technology

[0002] A handheld showerhead is a portable water-dispensing terminal device used in bathrooms. It is lightweight and easy to move, allowing users to wash any part of their body while showering, providing a diverse experience. Therefore, it is widely used in homes, hotels, and other places. A showerhead generally consists of a main body and a water-dispensing panel. A water-passing structure is incorporated into both the main body and the water-dispensing panel to meet various needs. Assembly can involve welding the water-passing structure to the main body or the water-dispensing panel, and then covering it with the water-dispensing panel or the main body. However, welding requires all materials to be moved to a welding machine, welded, and then returned to the assembly line, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. If even a small part is not securely welded, causing leakage, it reduces the product yield and thus reduces production efficiency. In view of this, the inventor conducted in-depth research to address the aforementioned shortcomings of the prior art, resulting in this invention. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention provides a shower head connection structure that can effectively solve the above problems.

[0004] To achieve the present invention, this utility model discloses a shower head connection structure, comprising a body, a water seal cover, a water outlet component, and a water outlet panel arranged sequentially from top to bottom:

[0005] The outer edge of the water seal cover is provided with a plurality of first hooks and a plurality of barbs at intervals, and the middle part of the water seal cover is provided with a plurality of connecting parts;

[0006] The outer edge of the water outlet panel is provided with a plurality of second hooks and a plurality of hook grooves at intervals, the hook grooves corresponding to the barbs; the middle part of the water outlet panel is provided with a plurality of connecting posts, the connecting posts corresponding to the connecting parts;

[0007] The body has a cavity with one end open. The cavity includes a first locking strip and a second locking strip disposed on the inner side wall. The first locking strip corresponds to the first hook, and the second locking strip corresponds to the second hook.

[0008] When the water seal cover is attached to the water outlet component and the water outlet panel, the barb is inserted into the hook groove, the connecting post is inserted into the connecting part and connected by the connecting piece, and the water seal cover, the water outlet component and the water outlet panel are connected to form a water outlet assembly; the body is placed on the water outlet assembly and is at least secured to the second clip by the second hook, so that the body and the water outlet assembly are fixedly connected.

[0009] With the above setup, the water seal, water outlet component, and water outlet panel are hooked together by a structure of barbs and hook grooves, and locked with multiple connectors, making the water outlet assembly a stable and tight water outlet structure. Then, the water outlet assembly is engaged with the second clip of the main body by the second hook, thereby quickly completing the assembly. This ensures both product quality and production assembly speed, improving production efficiency.

[0010] Furthermore, the hook portion of the first hook undergoes elastic deformation under force and abuts against the inner wall of the body cavity. Through the interference fit between the hook portion of the first hook and the body, the pre-positioning between the water outlet component and the body is achieved. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] like Figures 1-9As shown, this utility model discloses a shower head connection structure, including a body 1, a water inlet component 6 disposed at the water inlet end 15 of the body 1, and a water outlet assembly disposed at the water outlet end of the body 1. The water outlet assembly includes a water passage seal 2, a water outlet component 3, and a water outlet panel 4 that are sequentially fitted together, and a connector 5 that fastens the water passage seal 2 and the water outlet panel 4 together. Water flows in from the water inlet component 6, passes through the water passage seal 2, and flows out from the water outlet component 3 for use.

[0023] refer to Figures 3 to 7 As shown, the water seal cover 2 includes multiple barbs 22 spaced apart along its outer edge and multiple connecting portions 23 located in the middle. The water outlet panel 4 includes multiple hook grooves 42 spaced apart along its outer edge and multiple connecting posts 43 located in the middle. The hook grooves 42 correspond to the barbs 22, and the connecting posts 43 correspond to the connecting portions 23. The water outlet component 3 is fitted onto the water outlet panel 4, and the water seal cover 2 is then placed over the water outlet component 3 and the water outlet panel 4. The barbs 22 are directly engaged into the hook grooves 42. Each connecting post 43 is inserted into a connecting portion 23 and connected by a connector 5. The water seal cover 2, the water outlet component 3, and the water outlet panel 4 are connected to form the water outlet assembly. In this embodiment, the connector 5 can be a screw.

[0024] Specifically, one end of the water seal cover 2 is provided with a water passage 24, which is connected to the water inlet component 6 through at least one sealing element. Multiple top blocks 29 are evenly arranged on the end face of the water seal cover 2 away from the connecting part 23, forming a water flow channel between every two top blocks 29, which is connected to the water passage 24. In fact, the water outlet component 3 has multiple water outlet holes 31, each surrounded by multiple top blocks 29, and the water outlet hole 31 is connected to the water flow channel. Of course, the multiple top blocks 29 can be arranged according to a certain rule to make the water flow channel smoother and the water pressure more uniform. The water outlet panel 4 is provided with multiple through holes 46, and each water outlet hole 31 passes through one through hole 46.

[0025] In order to quickly assemble the main body 1 and the water outlet component cover to form a complete product, in this embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 4 As shown, the outer edge of the water seal cover 2 is also provided with a plurality of first hooks 21 at intervals. The first hooks 21 are located on one side of the barb 22, and each pair of first hooks 21 are either far apart from each other or close together; Reference Figure 6 As shown, the outer edge of the water outlet panel 4 is provided with a plurality of second hooks 41 corresponding to the first hook 21; Reference Figure 5As shown, the body 1 includes a cavity 13 with one end open, and a first locking strip 11 and a second locking strip 12 disposed on the inner side wall of the cavity 13. The first locking strip 11 corresponds to the first hook 21, and the second locking strip 12 corresponds to the second hook 41. Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the body 1 is placed on the water outlet assembly, and the second hook 41 is engaged with the second locking strip 12 to fix the body 1 and the water outlet assembly together.

[0026] Of course, each of the first clip 11 and each of the second clip 12 can be arranged vertically spaced or horizontally staggered. However, it is preferred that the first clip 11 and the second clip 12 are arranged vertically spaced, and after the water seal cover 2 and the water outlet panel 4 are closed, the first hook 21 and the second hook 41 are also arranged vertically spaced at the same time.

[0027] Specifically, refer to Figure 5 and 9 As shown, the first locking strip 11 has a first guide slope 111 on the side near the opening of the cavity 13, and a third guide slope 112 on the side away from the opening of the cavity 13; the second locking strip 12 has a second guide slope 121 on the side near the opening of the cavity 13, and a horizontal support surface 122 on the side away from the opening of the cavity 13; the outer side of the hook portion 211 of the first hook 21 has an arc-shaped guide surface; when the body 1 and the water seal cover 2 are vertically interlocked, the arc-shaped guide surface of the hook portion 211 of the first hook 21 slides sequentially over the second guide slope 121 of the second locking strip 12 and the first guide slope 111 of the first locking strip 11, and then slides out with the third guide slope 112 to interact with the inner wall of the cavity 13 of the body 1. The first hook 21 has a contact point with the body 1 to achieve pre-positioning between the water outlet component and the body 1. It should be emphasized that the hook portion 211 of the first hook 21 can undergo elastic deformation under force. The outer contour dimension defined by the free end of each hook portion 211 is larger than the inner contour dimension of the inner cavity 13 of the body 1, thereby ensuring that the first hook 21 can abut against the inner wall of the cavity 13. At the same time, the second hook 41 has an inlet slope 411 corresponding to the second guide slope 121 and a hooking surface 412 corresponding to the horizontal support surface 122. The inlet slope 411 slides along the second guide slope 121 to hook onto the horizontal support surface 122 via the hooking surface 412. Obviously, the ability of the hook portion of the second hook 41 to undergo elastic deformation is negligible compared to that of the hook portion of the first hook 21.

[0028] Here, for reference Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, each of the first hooks 21 and each of the barbs 22 can be formed into a hook-and-loop combination, with the first hooks 21 of each hook-and-loop combination being far apart from each other. To ensure that the sidewall perimeter of the water outlet assembly and the body 1 can be securely and tightly fitted when they are engaged, a first positioning strip 26 or several second positioning strips 27 are provided between the barbs 22 of the two hook-and-loop combinations; a first limiting strip 44 corresponding to the first positioning strip 26 and a second limiting strip 45 corresponding to the second positioning strip 27 are provided on the outer edge of the water outlet panel 4; several third positioning strips 16 are provided on the sidewall of the cavity 13, and the third positioning strips 16 correspond to the second positioning strips 27 and / or the second limiting strips 45.

[0029] In this embodiment, reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first positioning strip 26 is provided on the middle section of each side of the water seal cover 2, and two spaced first limiting strips 44 are provided on the middle section of each side of the water outlet panel 4. One end of the first positioning strip 26 is located between the two first limiting strips 44, and the outer wall surfaces of the first positioning strip 26 and the two first limiting strips 44 are on the same plane so as to abut against the inner side of the body 1. In this embodiment, the wall surface of the water seal 2 away from the water passage 24 is provided with two spaced second positioning strips 27. The wall surface of the water outlet panel 4 is provided with two second limiting strips 45 corresponding to the second positioning strips 27. The spacing between the two second limiting strips 45 is the same as the spacing between the two second positioning strips 27. The side wall of the cavity 13 of the body 1 is provided with two spaced third positioning strips 16. The spacing between the two third positioning strips 16 is less than the spacing between the two second positioning strips 27. Both third positioning strips 16 can be accommodated between the spacing between the two second positioning strips 27. The third positioning strips 16 can be positioned with the water outlet component. The second positioning strips 27 and the second limiting strips 45 can also abut against the inner side of the body 1, so that the body 1 and the water outlet component can fit tightly together.

[0030] The main body 1 and the water passage 24 are provided with a water inlet end 15 at one end, and the third positioning strip 16 is located on the side away from the water inlet end 15. When water flows from the water inlet 6 into the water passage 24, there will be a water pressure impacting the water passage 24, and at the same time, the water passage cover 2 will impact forward. In order to reduce the impact force of the water pressure on the side wall of the main body 1 away from the water inlet end 15, a set of positioning blocks 25 is provided on the end of the water passage cover 2 away from the water passage 24, for reference. Figure 8As shown, the area of ​​the positioning block 25 on the side closest to the water outlet panel 4 is increased. This increased area of ​​the positioning block 25 disperses the impact force on the body 1. In this embodiment, the positioning block 25 includes two positioning blocks disposed on the second positioning strip 27, spaced far apart, thus allowing the impact force to be dispersed over a wider area.

[0031] Additionally, a positioning edge 28 is provided around the outer edge of the water seal cover 2. The first hook 21, the barb 22, the first positioning strip 26, the second positioning strip 27, and the positioning block 25 are all disposed on the positioning edge 28. Multiple ribs 14 are disposed within the cavity 13, with the ribs 14 abutting against the positioning edge 28. Two positioning cylinders 20 are also provided in the middle of the water seal cover 2. Two positioning protrusions 17 are also provided on the inner top wall of the cavity 13 of the body 1 at positions relative to the positioning cylinders 20. Each positioning protrusion 17 has a component that matches one side of the outer wall of the positioning cylinder 20. The positioning arc surface 171 is provided with several reinforcing ribs 172 on the opposite side of the positioning arc surface 171. By cooperating with the arc-shaped outer wall of the positioning cylinder 20 at the opposite position of each positioning arc surface 171, and combined with the positioning cooperation between the above-mentioned ribs 14 and the positioning edge 28, the body 1 and the water outlet component can be stably positioned vertically and circumferentially. Of course, the positioning cooperation between the positioning protrusion 17 and the positioning cylinder 20 is not limited to the above structure. By inserting the positioning protrusion 17 into the positioning cylinder 20 and constructing a positioning cooperation surface between the two that can be mutually positioned and cooperated, the same technical effect can also be achieved.

[0032] The above embodiments and illustrations are not intended to limit the product form and style of this utility model. Any appropriate changes and modifications made by those skilled in the art should be considered as not departing from the patent scope of this invention.
