Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of bathroom equipment, and specifically refers to a water distributor and shower device. Background Technology

[0002] A water manifold is a device used to distribute water flow, commonly found in homes, such as shower units. A water manifold is essentially a one-in-many water circuit structure that divides a single water source into multiple branches, allowing water to be controlled and delivered to different water circuits. This enables different water-using devices to share the same water source, thereby relieving pressure on the plumbing layout in the home.

[0003] A simple water distributor typically consists of a multi-pass valve body and a valve core that moves within the body. Rotation of the valve core opens and closes multiple water passages within the valve body, achieving water switching, i.e., water distribution. The valve body, due to its multi-pass design, is the most expensive component to produce, leading to a complex internal structure, low assembly efficiency, and increased susceptibility to component tolerances, resulting in assembly difficulties. This type of water distributor can be referenced in the patent application CN212616505U, "A Three-Way Valve," which features a complex water passage design within its valve seat 10, requiring specialized mold production, resulting in a more complex structure and higher cost. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a water distributor and shower device to solve the problems existing in the prior art, simplify the internal structure of the water distributor, control production costs and facilitate assembly.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the solution of this utility model is:

All three outlets are connected to the rotating shaft groove. The first end of the water distribution shaft is configured as a sealing part rotatably fitted within the rotating shaft groove. The first and second sealing elements are respectively installed on the end face and circumferential surface of the sealing part. Rotation of the sealing part causes the first and second sealing elements to movably open and close the first and second outlets, respectively, and a dynamic seal is formed between the two ends of the sealing part and the sidewall of the rotating shaft groove. The second end of the water distribution shaft protrudes from the main body.

[0007] The second end of the water distribution shaft is provided with a handle; the second end of the water distribution shaft is provided as a connecting part, the end of the connecting part is connected to a knob key, a nut is embedded in the knob, a fastening screw is threadedly fitted into the nut, the fastening screw passes through the knob and is threadedly connected to the handle; a wear-resistant ring is installed at the first end of the main body; a clamping nut is provided inside the main body, the connecting part passes through the clamping nut, and the inner diameter of the clamping nut is smaller than the outer diameter of the sealing part.

[0008] Both ends of the sealing part are provided with a first sealing ring, which is tightly fitted between the circumferential surface of the sealing part and the side wall of the rotating shaft groove.

[0009] The sealing part has a water groove on the opposite side of the second sealing member; the sealing part has a plurality of water holes at the end of the water groove, and the water holes are connected to the end face of the sealing part.

[0010] The end face and peripheral surface of the sealing part are respectively provided with a first mounting groove and a second mounting groove for the first sealing member and the second sealing member to move and cooperate.

The spring force of the third spring acts on the shift posts to make them move and cooperate in the inner wall of the rotating shaft groove, and move and cooperate in one of the shift grooves as the sealing part rotates.

[0013] The main body has a first interface, a second interface, and a third interface formed around the first outlet, the second outlet, and the inlet, respectively. The first interface and the second interface are both external threaded interfaces, and the third interface is an internal threaded interface.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, the following detailed description is provided through specific embodiments.

[0026] refer to Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model discloses a water distributor, including a main body 1, a water distribution shaft 2, a first sealing member 3, and a second sealing member 4;

[0027] The first end 1a and the second end 1b of the main body 1 are respectively provided with a rotating shaft groove 11 and a first water outlet 12, and the two sides of its circumference are respectively provided with a second water outlet 13 and a water inlet 14. The first water outlet 12, the second water outlet 13 and the water inlet 14 are all connected to the rotating shaft groove 11.

[0028] The first end 2a of the water distribution shaft 2 is configured as a sealing part 21 that is rotatably fitted in the shaft groove 11. The end face and the circumferential surface of the sealing part 21 are respectively equipped with a first sealing member 3 and a second sealing member 4. The rotation of the sealing part 21 causes the first sealing member 3 and the second sealing member 4 to open and close the first water outlet 12 and the second water outlet 13 respectively. The two ends of the sealing part 21 are dynamically sealed with the side wall of the shaft groove 11 to prevent water leakage. The second end 2b of the water distribution shaft 2 is exposed in the main body 1 for user operation.

[0029] Through the above solution, this utility model directly designs the main body 1 of the water distributor as a valve body structure with a rotating shaft groove 11, and provides a first water outlet 12 and a second water outlet 13 on the end face and side face of the rotating shaft groove 11, respectively. It also has a water inlet 14 on its side. (See attached diagram) Figure 3 , 4 Users only need to rotate the water distribution shaft 2 to open and close the water passage between the inlet 14 and the first outlet 12 and the second outlet 13, thereby achieving water passage switching. The main body 1 of this utility model is the valve body, and the water passage design is simpler. The main body 1 is hollowed out by using the rotating shaft groove 11, and the inlet and outlet are designed on the surface of the rotating shaft groove 11, which facilitates the processing and forming of the main body 1. This simplifies the internal structure of the water distributor, controls production costs, and facilitates assembly.

[0030] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention.

[0031] The second end 2b of the aforementioned water distribution shaft 2 is provided with a handle 5 so that the user can rotate the water distribution shaft 2 more easily.

[0032] Furthermore, the second end 2b of the aforementioned water-dividing shaft 2 is configured as a connecting part 22. The end of the connecting part 22 is connected to a knob 6. A nut 7 is embedded in the knob 6. A fastening screw 8 is threadedly fitted into the nut 7. The fastening screw 8 passes through the knob 6 and is threadedly connected to the handle 5.

[0033] Secondly, a wear-resistant ring 9 is installed at the first end 1a of the main body 1. By fitting the wear-resistant ring 9 between the main body 1 and the knob 6, direct spacing between the two can be avoided, thereby reducing wear on the parts.

[0034] Meanwhile, a clamping nut 10 is provided inside the main body 1, and the connecting part 22 passes through the clamping nut 10. The inner diameter of the clamping nut 10 is smaller than the outer diameter of the sealing part 21, so that the sealing part 21 cannot pass through the clamping nut 10 and is fixed in the rotating shaft groove 11 by the clamping nut 10.

[0035] The sealing part 21 is provided with a first sealing ring 20 at both axial ends. The first sealing ring 20 is tightly fitted between the circumferential surface of the sealing part 21 and the side wall of the rotating shaft groove 11 to achieve dynamic sealing.

[0036] The sealing part 21 is provided with a water channel 211 on the opposite side of the second sealing member 4, so that the water in the inlet 14 can flow through the water channel 211 to the direction of the second outlet 13; at the same time, the sealing part 21 is provided with a plurality of water holes 212 at the end of the water channel 211, and the water holes 212 are connected to the end face of the sealing part 21, so that the water inlet 14 can flow through the water channel 211 and the water holes 212 to the direction of the first outlet 12.

[0037] The sealing part 21 has a first mounting groove 213 and a second mounting groove 214 on its end face and circumferential surface, respectively, for the first sealing member 3 and the second sealing member 4 to move and cooperate. A first spring 30 is provided between the bottom of the first sealing member 3 and the first mounting groove 213, and a second spring 40 is provided between the bottom of the second sealing member 4 and the second mounting groove 214. By providing springs between the sealing part 21 and the sealing members, the elasticity of the springs can make the rotation of the sealing part 21 more flexible. At the same time, the spring force combined with the water pressure can quickly and effectively seal the corresponding water outlet.

[0038] The end face of the sealing part 21 is provided with a limiting protrusion 215, and the rotating shaft groove 11 is provided with an arc groove 111 for the limiting protrusion 215 to move and cooperate. By designing the length of the arc groove 111, the rotation stroke of the sealing part 21 (i.e., the water distribution shaft 2) can be limited, the rotation of the sealing part 21 is limited to a certain angle range, and 360° rotation will not occur.

[0039] The end face of the aforementioned sealing part 21 is provided with a set of stop posts 50 and a third spring 60. The rotating shaft groove 11 is provided with several stop grooves 112 for the stop posts 50 to move and engage. The elastic force of the third spring 60 acts on the stop posts 50, causing them to move and engage within the inner wall of the rotating shaft groove 11 and, as the sealing part 21 rotates, to move and engage within one of its stop grooves 112. Thus, when the water distribution shaft 2 rotates to its final position, a sound will be produced to let the user know whether the operation is complete.

[0040] The main body 1 has a first interface 15, a second interface 16 and a third interface 17 formed around the first outlet 12, the second outlet 13 and the inlet 14 respectively. The first interface 15 and the second interface 16 are both external thread interfaces, and the third interface 17 is an internal thread interface, which facilitates the connection with pipes and water-using devices.

[0041] Furthermore, this utility model also includes an adapter nut 70 and a counter nut 80. The outer diameter of the adapter nut 70 is larger than the inner diameter of the counter nut 80. The adapter nut 70 passes through the counter nut 80 and is threadedly connected to the third interface 17. A second sealing ring 90 is provided between the circumferential surface of the adapter nut 70 and the inner wall of the third interface 17 and the counter nut 80 to achieve circumferential sealing. The sealing effect is better and water leakage will not occur due to poor locking.

[0042] This utility model also discloses a shower device that uses the above-mentioned water distributor as a water path switching device, and thus has the same technical effect as the water distributor.

[0043] 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.
