Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of bathroom equipment, and specifically refers to a water circuit switching device with magnetic attraction function. Background Technology

[0003] Since shower columns are fixed vertically against the wall during installation, they occupy a certain amount of height space. Therefore, they are more suitable for the design of existing Chinese bathrooms where the water inlet pipe is lower and closer to the ground. However, for American bathrooms, where the water inlet pipe is higher and closer to the ceiling, shower columns are no longer suitable. Utility Model Content

[0026] The outer casing 1 is provided with a water passage cavity 11, and a first water inlet 12 and a first connection port 13 communicating with the water passage cavity 11;

[0027] The water channel regulating component 2 is rotatably fitted into the water passage cavity 11 and dynamically seals the opening of the water passage cavity 11. A water passage groove 21 and a second water inlet 22 are respectively provided on both sides of the circumferential surface of its inner end, and a second connection port 23 is provided on the outer end of the water channel regulating component 2. As the water channel regulating component 2 rotates, the first water inlet 12 is connected to at most one of the water passage groove 21 and the second water inlet 22, so as to achieve connection to the first connection port 13 through the water passage groove 21, or connection to the second connection port 23 through the second water inlet 22.

[0028] Shower head fixing device 3 is installed on the outer casing 1 on the opposite side of the first water inlet 12, and is used to magnetically fix the handheld shower head.

[0029] Through the above solution, this utility model can replace the function of a shower column in the bathroom. It can simultaneously install a top shower head and a handheld shower head on the outer casing 1. Specifically, the top shower head is connected to the first connection port 13 to achieve relative fixation with the outer casing and to enable water intake for the top shower head. The handheld shower head is magnetically and detachably installed on the shower head fixing device 3, which is convenient and quick to operate. It is connected to the second connection port 23 through a water pipe to enable water intake for the handheld shower head. At the same time, the water path adjustment component 2 can not only supply water to the handheld shower head, but also provide a water path switching function. By rotating the water path adjustment component 2, the user can change the relative angle between the water tank 21, the second water inlet 22 and the first water inlet 12, thereby determining which water path the first water inlet 12 is connected to, realizing the opening and closing and switching functions of the water path. It has rich functions and is easy to operate. In particular, it can open the corresponding water path of the handheld shower head while removing it from the outer casing 1, which is very convenient and provides an excellent user experience.

[0030] The following shows specific embodiments of this utility model.

[0031] The aforementioned water passage cavity 11 has a cylindrical or nearly cylindrical inner cavity shape. The first water inlet 12 and the shower head fixing device 3 are located on both sides of the water passage cavity 11, and the first connection port 13 is located on the end face of the water passage cavity 11.

[0034] A first sealing ring 5 is embedded around the second water inlet 22. The first sealing ring 5 is dynamically sealed to the inner wall of the water passage cavity 11 as the water passage regulating component 2 rotates, so that water will not enter the water passage regulating component 2 when the first water inlet 12 is not opposite to the second water inlet 22.

[0035] A lever 25 is provided on the circumferential surface of the outer end of the water channel regulating component 2 so that the user can operate the water channel regulating component 2 more easily.

[0036] The inner end of the aforementioned water circuit regulating component 2 is provided with a movable groove 26, and a limiting pin 6 is installed inside the outer casing 1. The limiting pin 6 is movably fitted within the movable groove 26. By designing the length of the movable groove 26, the water circuit regulating component 2 is allowed to make circular movements while its rotation angle is limited, and the water circuit regulating component 4 is prevented from becoming loose from the valve body 5.

[0037] The outer casing 1 has a mounting groove 14 on its periphery; the shower head fixing device 3 includes a fixing base 31 fixed in the mounting groove 14 and a magnet 32 ​​embedded in the fixing base 31, so that the handheld shower head with metal or magnet can be fixed by magnetic attraction, making it more convenient to take the shower head out and put it down.

[0038] Furthermore, the mounting groove 14 is provided with several fixing posts 15, and the fixing seat 31 is fixed to the fixing posts 15 by screw fastening; the surface of the fixing seat 31 is provided with a protective sleeve 33 for covering the screw by snap-fit ​​connection, which can prevent the screw from rusting due to long-term exposure to water; a limit cover 34 is provided in the fixing seat 31 to fix the magnet 32 ​​relatively in the mounting groove 14 to prevent shaking.

[0039] A connecting ball head 7 is installed inside the first water inlet 12. The connecting ball head 7 is connected to the water supply pipe on the wall so as to adjust the angle of the outer casing 1. That is, the angle of the overhead shower and the handheld shower (when fixed to the outer casing) can be flexibly adjusted.

[0040] Furthermore, the present invention also includes a limiting nut 8 threadedly connected to the outer shell 1, a limiting ring 9 disposed inside the limiting nut 8 to prevent the connecting ball head 7 from loosening and shaking, and a second sealing ring 10 disposed between the connecting ball head 7 and the first water inlet 12.

[0041] The above embodiments and figures are not intended to limit the product form and style of this utility model. Any appropriate changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art should be considered as not departing from the patent scope of this utility model.
