The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.
[0058] Referring to Figures 1-3 The present application provides a waterway switching device and a shower.
[0059] Specifically, the shower can have multiple water outlet modes such as shower water, concentrated water and bubble water, and it includes a water distribution body 10 and a waterway switching device provided in the present application. The water distribution body 10 is provided with a plurality of separation structures 11 and a water inlet end 13, and the separation structures 11 divide the water distribution body 10 into a plurality of water outlet spaces 12. The waterway switching device is arranged on the water distribution body 10, and can switch the water outlet path of the shower, i.e. switch the water flowing out of one of the plurality of water outlet spaces 12.
[0060] Specifically, the shower further includes a water distribution seat 20, a water nozzle 30, a face cover 40 and a shower body 50. The water distribution body 10 is arranged in the shower body 50, the water distribution seat 20 is connected to the lower side of the water distribution body 10, the water nozzle 30 is connected to the lower side of the water distribution seat 20, and the face cover 40 is connected to the lower side of the water nozzle 30. The water flowing out of the water distribution body 10 can flow out of the shower through the water distribution seat 20, the water nozzle 30 and the face cover 40 in sequence.
[0061] Referring to Figures 2-8The waterway switching device provided by the embodiment comprises a transmission seat 400, a driving mechanism 500, a fixed seat 100, a plurality of pilot valves 200 and a plurality of valve shafts 300. The plurality of pilot valves 200 form a plurality of independent pressure cavities 110 with the fixed seat 100 respectively. In the embodiment, the fixed seat 100 is provided in plurality, each fixed seat 100 corresponds to one pilot valve 200, each fixed seat 100 and the corresponding pilot valve 200 form one pressure cavity 110, each pressure cavity 110 is communicated with a pressure relief passage 120, and the pressure cavity 110 is communicated with the pressure relief passage 120 through a water flow passage 140. The corresponding pressure relief passage 120 and the water outlet main channel 600 are located in the same water outlet space 12 on the water distribution body 10. In other embodiments, only one fixed seat 100 can be provided, and a plurality of pilot valves 200 are arranged in the fixed seat 100 to form a plurality of independent pressure cavities 110.
[0062] Specifically, the plurality of fixed seats 100 are arranged in a circular array on the water distribution body 10 with the transmission seat 400 as the center, and the pressure cavities 110 in the plurality of fixed seats 100 are independent of each other. The pressure cavity 110 is communicated with the water inlet end 13 through the pilot valve 200, and the water inlet end 13 is selectively communicated with the water outlet main channel 600 corresponding to the fixed seat 100 through the pilot valve 200. When the pressure relief passage 120 is opened, the water in the pressure cavity 110 can flow out through the corresponding pressure relief passage 120, the corresponding pressure cavity 110 can be pressure relieved, and the corresponding pilot valve 200 moves under the action of water pressure to connect the water inlet end 13 and the corresponding water outlet main channel 600.
[0063] Specifically, the valve shaft 300 corresponds to the fixed seat 100 one by one and is movably arranged in the fixed seat 100, and can act to block or open the corresponding pressure relief passage 120. The transmission seat 400 and the driving mechanism 500 are in transmission connection, the transmission seat 400 is arranged between the plurality of fixed seats 100 (of course, it can also be arranged above the fixed seat 100), and can rotate to circularly drive the plurality of valve shafts 300 to act. The driving mechanism 500 is arranged on the water distribution body 10 and comprises a button 510, the button 510 is pressed down to drive the transmission seat 400 to rotate, thereby selectively driving one valve shaft 300 to move to open one pressure relief passage 120 to select the flower shower water, the concentrated water or the bubble water. Of course, two valve shafts 300 can be driven to move at the same time to open two pressure relief passages 120, thereby realizing the mixed water outlet of the flower shower water and the concentrated water or the bubble water. Through the above arrangement, the rotation of the transmission seat 400 can be realized by pressing down the button 510, and then the movement of the valve shaft 300 is realized.
[0064] Continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figures 5-7The fixed seat 100 is provided with a valve shaft mounting column 130 in one-to-one correspondence and communication. The valve shaft mounting column 130 comprises a mounting column shell 131 and a mounting column inner core 132 coaxially sleeved, the mounting column inner core 132 is coaxially arranged in the mounting column shell 131, the valve shaft 300 is coaxially arranged in the mounting column inner core 132, and the pressure relief channel 120 is formed between the valve shaft 300 and the inner wall of the mounting column inner core 132. The water flow channel 140 is arranged at the connection between the fixed seat 100 and the valve shaft mounting column 130, and can connect the pressure relief channel 120 and the pressure chamber 110.
[0065] Specifically, referring to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The pilot valve 200 is annularly provided with an annular gap 210, and the pressure chamber 110 is communicated with the water inlet end 13 through the annular gap 210. The water in the water inlet end 13 can enter the pressure chamber 110 through the annular gap 210. Since the water inlet amount of the annular gap 210 is less than the water outlet amount of the pressure relief channel 120, the movement stroke of the valve shaft 300 will be relatively short, and the switching stroke of the valve shaft 300 can be shortened.
[0066] Further specifically, referring to Figure 9 The inner top of the fixed seat 100 and the pilot valve 200 are provided with an opening and closing elastic element 700. When the water in the pressure chamber 110 flows to the downstream flow passage through the corresponding pressure relief channel 120, in this embodiment, the water in the pressure chamber 110 can flow out of the fixed seat 100 through the corresponding pressure relief channel 120, at this time the pressure in the pressure chamber 110 is less than the pressure of the water inlet end 13, the pilot valve 200 is moved to the inner top of the fixed seat 100 under the action of the water pressure difference between the cross-sectional area S1 of the water inlet end 13 and the cross-sectional area S2 of the corresponding water outlet main flow passage 600, and the opening and closing elastic element 700 is compressed, so that the water inlet end 13 and the corresponding water outlet main flow passage 600 are communicated, at this time the water outlet of the water outlet main flow passage 600 can be realized. That is to say, after the water enters the pressure chamber 110, the opening of the pilot valve 200 is realized only by relying on the small water pressure through the pressure relief of the pressure chamber 110, so as to realize the opening of the water outlet waterway.
[0067] More specifically, referring to Figure 9 and Figure 10 The opening and closing elastic element 700 is integrally provided with a dredging rod 710, and the dredging rod 710 can be extended and retracted in the annular gap 210. By integrating the dredging rod 710 on the opening and closing elastic element 700, the scale or impurities in the annular gap 210 can be removed during each compression and recovery of the opening and closing elastic element 700, so as to prevent blockage.
[0068] Continuing to refer to Figure 2 and Figures 4-7A plurality of control notches 410 are formed along the circumference of the transmission seat 400. One end of the valve shaft 300 is movably provided with a movable ball 310, and the other end is provided with a pushing elastic element 320. A first sealing ring 330 is annularly arranged on the valve shaft 300, and is arranged corresponding to the water flow passage 140, and can be detachably abut on the abutting slope of the end of the installation column inner core 132, and can be detachably sealed between the pressure relief passage 120 and the pressure cavity 110, i.e. can cut off or open the water flow passage 140. When the transmission seat 400 is rotated to any control notch 410 opposite to the movable ball 310, the movable ball 310 can be moved into the control notch 410, and the valve shaft 300 can be moved towards the direction where the transmission seat 400 is located under the pushing action of the pushing elastic element 320, so as to drive the first sealing ring 330 to move to open the water flow passage 140.
[0069] Specifically, the valve shaft 300 is provided with a second sealing ring 340 and a third sealing ring 350 on both sides of the first sealing ring 330, and the second sealing ring 340 and the third sealing ring 350 are respectively abut on the inner wall of the installation column inner core 132. In the embodiment, the second sealing ring 340 and the third sealing ring 350 are both Y-shaped sealing rings. When the water flow passage 140 is in an open state, and the pressure relief passage 120 is communicated with the pressure cavity 110, since the abutting area of the second sealing ring 340 on the inner wall of the installation column inner core 132 and the abutting area of the third sealing ring 350 on the inner wall of the installation column inner core 132 are equal, the valve shaft 300 can be in an axial water pressure balance state at this time, saving the switching force of the user. At this time, the valve shaft 300 is only subjected to the force of the pushing elastic element 320, and when the water outlet waterway is switched, the control notch 410 on the transmission seat 400 only needs to overcome the rolling friction force of the pushing elastic element 320 on the movable ball 310, so as to move the valve shaft 300 to close the water flow passage 140, so as to disconnect the communication between the pressure relief passage 120 and the pressure cavity 110. At this time, the corresponding pilot valve 200 is moved downward under the water pressure of the opening and closing elastic element 700 and the cross-sectional area S2 of the corresponding water outlet main flow passage 600, and the communication between the water outlet main flow passage 600 and the water inlet end 13 is disconnected.
[0070] More specifically, the driving mechanism 500 comprises a ratchet seat 520 and a sliding member 530. The transmission seat 400 is provided with a first ratchet wheel 420, the ratchet seat 520 is provided with a second ratchet wheel 521, the transmission seat 400 is mounted on the ratchet seat 520, the first ratchet wheel 420 is engagedly connected to the second ratchet wheel 521, and the ratchet seat 520 is movable to drive the transmission seat 400 to rotate. The ratchet seat 520 is further provided with a third ratchet wheel 522, the sliding member 530 is provided with a ratchet rack 531, the third ratchet wheel 522 is engagedly connected to the ratchet rack 531, and the sliding member 530 is drivingly connected to the button 510. When the button 510 is pressed, the sliding member 530 is driven to move towards the ratchet seat 520, and the ratchet seat 520 is driven to rotate.
[0071] More specifically, the driving mechanism 500 further comprises a reset elastic element 540 and a supporting elastic element 560. The sliding member 530 is provided with a mounting column 532 parallel to the moving direction, the reset elastic element 540 is sleeved on the mounting column 532 and abuts against the side of the water distribution body 10. When the button 510 is pressed, the reset elastic element 540 is compressed, and the reset elastic element 540 is further capable of restoring to the original state when the pressure on the button 510 is removed, to drive the sliding member 530 to reset. The ratchet rack 531 cooperates with the third ratchet wheel 522 to drive the ratchet seat 520 to rotate and reset, and drive the second ratchet wheel 521 to rotate reversely. The transmission seat 400 moves upwards under the cooperation of the first ratchet wheel 420 and the second ratchet wheel 521, to make the first ratchet wheel 420 and the second ratchet wheel 521 disengage. The supporting elastic element 560 is arranged between the transmission seat 400 and the water distribution body 10. The transmission seat 400 does not rotate under the action of the movable ball 310, and remains in the switched position. At this time, the supporting elastic element 560 can pull the transmission seat 400 to sit on and engage with the ratchet seat 520 after the first ratchet wheel 420 and the second ratchet wheel 521 disengage, the transmission seat 400 rotates relative to the ratchet seat 520, and the transmission seat 400 remains in the switched position.
[0072] More specifically, the driving mechanism 500 further comprises a swing lever 550, which is movably connected to the button 510 and abuts against the sliding member 530 in a swingable manner. When the button 510 is pressed, the swing lever 550 is driven to swing, to push the sliding member 530 to move.
[0073] Continuing to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 the first ratchet teeth of the first ratchet wheel 420 are provided with a first inclined guide surface, and the second ratchet teeth of the second ratchet wheel 521 are provided with a second inclined guide surface. The first inclined guide surface is movable along the second inclined guide surface, to make the first ratchet teeth disengage or engage with the second ratchet teeth.
