[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom technology, and more specifically, to a novel handheld shower head. Background Technology
[0002] Handheld showerheads are common bathroom fixtures, widely used in various bathing scenarios. Currently, conventional handheld showerheads typically feature a switch to allow switching between different water flow modes, such as rain, massage, and mixed. However, existing switches usually rely on mechanical rotation or pressing, and the conventional pressing method is inconvenient for frequent use, making it extremely difficult for users. Furthermore, it's difficult to quickly locate a specific water flow mode during switching, significantly reducing the user experience. Therefore, the switch functionality of traditional handheld showerheads has room for improvement in terms of ease of use and operation, and urgently needs refinement to meet higher user demands. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a new type of handheld shower head to solve the above problems.
[0004] The present invention adopts the following solution:
[0005] This application provides a novel handheld shower head, including a handle and a shower head. The handle has a water inlet and a main water path connected to the water inlet. The shower head has a water outlet panel and a switch. The water outlet panel has a first water outlet and a second water outlet. The switch is installed on the water distribution chamber of the main water path, and the water distribution chamber is connected to the first water outlet via a first branch and to the second water outlet via a second branch. The switch is configured as a push-button switch with an automatic reset function. In the initial state, the push-button switch is always held in the first position, at which time the water distribution chamber selects water to flow to the first branch, corresponding to a large area of shower water output along the first water outlet. In the pressed state, the push-button switch is switched to the second position by force, at which time the water distribution chamber selects water to flow to the second branch, corresponding to a small area of spray water output along the second water outlet.
[0006] As a further improvement, multiple first water outlets are arranged in a regular array to cover the entire end face of the water outlet panel; multiple second water outlets are centrally positioned horizontally on the water outlet cover to output strip-shaped jets of water.
[0007] As a further improvement, the lower portion of the water outlet panel extends to engage with the handle, and the switch is correspondingly installed in the extended area of the water outlet panel.
[0008] As a further improvement, the water distribution chamber is correspondingly located at the output end of the main water channel, and a spring element is provided on the water distribution chamber to hold the push switch in the first position. The spring element is compressed and stores energy after being pressed by an external force.
[0009] As a further improvement, one end of the push switch is rotatably hinged to the water outlet panel, while the bottom surface of the other end abuts against the elastic element.
[0010] As a further improvement, when the push switch is in the first position, it causes the water distribution chamber to be connected to the first branch and blocked from the second branch; when the push switch is switched to the second position, it causes the water distribution chamber to be blocked from the first branch and connected to the second branch.
[0011] As a further improvement, the first branch and the second branch are respectively connected in parallel on the outlet side of the water distribution chamber.
[0012] As a further improvement, the handle and the shower head are configured as a single unit, and the water outlet cover is detachably mounted on the shower head.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention can achieve the following technical effects:
[0014] 1. The novel handheld shower head of this application adopts a push-button switch with an automatic reset function. Users can easily switch the water output mode by simply pressing the switch, without the need for complicated rotation or multiple pressing operations. Moreover, the push-button switch can automatically reset to the initial position after being released, simplifying the operation process. It is especially suitable for the elderly, children or users with weak hand strength.
[0015] 2. The switch initially corresponds to the first water outlet mode with a large area of shower water, while the press state corresponds to the second water outlet mode with a small area of spray water. This allows users to quickly and intuitively switch to the desired water outlet mode, avoiding mode confusion caused by inaccurate positioning in traditional designs, thus improving usage efficiency. Furthermore, without external triggering, the shower head always maintains a large area of shower water output, making it convenient and quick for users to shower.
[0016] 3. Furthermore, the switching switch is integrated with the water distribution chamber of the main water circuit, making the distribution of the main water circuit and the two branch circuits more efficient. The overall structure is compact and occupies little space. In addition, the large-area shower water mode is suitable for daily bathing, providing a comfortable full-body water flow, while the small-area jet water mode is suitable for targeted cleaning or massage functions, further enhancing the product's functionality and user experience.

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely to represent selected embodiments of this utility model.
[0022] Example
[0023] Combination Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment provides a novel handheld shower head, including a handle 1 and a shower head 2. The handle 1 has a water inlet 3 and a main water channel 4 connected to the water inlet 3. The shower head 2 has a water outlet panel 5 and a switch 6. The water outlet panel 5 has a first water outlet 7 and a second water outlet 8. The switch 6 is correspondingly installed on the water distribution chamber of the main water channel 4, and the water distribution chamber is connected to the first water outlet 7 through a first branch and to the second water outlet 8 through a second branch. The switch 6 is configured as a push-button switch with an automatic reset function.
[0024] In the initial state, the push switch is always held in the first position. At this time, the water distribution chamber selects water to be discharged to the first branch, and outputs a large area of shower water along the first water outlet 7.
[0025] When pressed, the press switch is switched to the second position by force. At this time, the water distribution chamber selects water to be discharged to the second branch, and outputs a small area of sprayed water along the second water outlet 8.
[0026] The aforementioned new handheld showerhead uses a push-button switch 6 with an automatic reset function. Users can easily switch water modes by simply pressing the switch, without the need for complicated rotation or multiple pressing operations. The switch automatically resets to its initial position after being released, simplifying the operation process and making it especially suitable for the elderly, children, or users with weak hand strength.
[0027] The switch 6 initially corresponds to the first water outlet mode, which provides a large area of shower water. When pressed, it corresponds to the second water outlet mode, which provides a small area of spray water. This allows users to quickly and intuitively switch to the desired water outlet mode, avoiding mode confusion caused by inaccurate positioning in traditional designs. This improves efficiency. Furthermore, without external triggering, the shower head always maintains a large area of shower water output, making it convenient and quick for users to shower.
[0028] By integrating the switching switch 6 with the water distribution chamber of the main water circuit 4, the distribution of the main water circuit 4 and the two branch circuits becomes more efficient. The overall structure is compact and occupies little space. In addition, the large-area shower water mode is suitable for daily bathing, providing a comfortable full-body water flow, while the small-area jet water mode is suitable for targeted cleaning or massage functions, further enhancing the product's functionality and user experience.
[0029] It should be mentioned that the switching switch is installed inside the water distribution chamber to further switch the water output from the chamber. The switching connection between the water distribution chamber and the first and second branches, the connection between the first branch and the first outlet, and the connection between the second branch and the second outlet are all conventional water circuit arrangements, so they will not be described in detail here.
[0030] In this embodiment, multiple first water outlets 7 are arranged in a regular array across the entire end face of the water outlet panel 5. Multiple second water outlets 8 are centrally positioned horizontally on the water outlet cover to output strip-shaped jets of water. Thus, the multiple first water outlets 7 are evenly distributed across the entire end face of the water outlet panel 5 according to an array pattern, ensuring a large and uniform water flow coverage area in shower mode, providing users with a comfortable full-body shower experience, while effectively avoiding a decline in user experience due to uneven water flow. The second water outlets 8 are centrally positioned horizontally on the water outlet panel 5, outputting strip-shaped jets of water, making the water jet concentrated and powerful, suitable for targeted cleaning or massage needs, and meeting diverse user scenarios.
[0031] In the above, the distribution of the first water outlet 7 and the second water outlet 8 are independent and their functions are clear. The large-area array of the first water outlet 7 is suitable for the gentle coverage of water flow in the shower mode, while the centrally positioned horizontal second water outlet 8 focuses on powerful jets. The two modes can be quickly switched through the switch 6, and users can choose freely according to their needs. In the initial state, water always comes out from the first water outlet 7, so there is no need to worry about confusion between functions.
[0032] In this embodiment, the lower portion of the water outlet panel 5 extends to engage with the handle 1, and the switch 6 is correspondingly installed in the extended area of the water outlet panel 5. The lower portion of the water outlet panel 5 extends to engage with the handle 1, forming an integrated design that significantly improves the structural integrity and aesthetics of the showerhead. The switch 6 is installed in the extended area of the water outlet panel 5, placing it close to the user's grip on the handle, thus optimizing the switch's operating position. Users do not need to move their hands significantly when switching water modes, further simplifying the operation process, making it particularly suitable for one-handed operation, and enhancing convenience and user-friendliness.
[0033] In this embodiment, the water distribution chamber is correspondingly located at the output end of the main water channel 4. A spring element 9 is provided on the water distribution chamber to hold the push-button switch in a first position. The spring element 9 compresses and stores energy when pressed by an external force. Specifically, one end of the push-button switch is rotatably hinged to the water outlet panel 5, while the bottom surface of the other end abuts against the spring element 9. Clearly, the push-button switch is mounted in a tilting manner on the water distribution chamber, working in conjunction with the spring element 9 at the bottom to provide an automatically reset push-button switching water outlet function. Preferably, the spring element 9 is a compression spring or a pressing spring sheet.
[0034] It should be noted that when the push-button switch is in the first position, it connects the water distribution chamber to the first branch and blocks the second branch. When the push-button switch is switched to the second position, it blocks the water distribution chamber from the first branch and connects it to the second branch. It should be understood that the water distribution method, in which the water distribution chamber is controlled by the push-button switch to select one branch for switching water flow, is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0035] In this embodiment, the first branch and the second branch are respectively connected in parallel on the outlet side of the water distribution chamber. Each branch is connected to its own outlet for independent water output. This parallel water path configuration allows the switching switch 6 to quickly switch to the corresponding branch for independent water output simply by controlling the selection of the water distribution chamber, significantly improving switching speed and user experience.
[0036] Preferably, the handle 1 and the shower head 2 are configured as a single unit, and the water outlet cover is detachably mounted on the shower head 2. On one hand, the integrated design of the handle 1 and the shower head 2 makes the overall shape of the handheld shower head more streamlined and cohesive, avoiding the disharmony caused by gaps in traditional split designs. On the other hand, the detachable water outlet cover allows users to easily remove it for cleaning or replacement maintenance. Simultaneously, the detachable structure simplifies maintenance operations and reduces user maintenance costs.
[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the second outlet 8 divides the first outlet 7 into an upper and lower half, and the second outlet 8 is configured to output massage water, while the first outlet 7 is configured to output rain water in one part and spray water in the other part with different aperture sizes, thereby improving the versatility of the water output.
[0038] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions that fall within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected by this utility model.
