[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 , the application provides a shower 100, the shower 100 includes a main body 10, a master control module 20 and a wireless charging receiving module 30. Wherein, the main body 10 is formed with a containing cavity 11, the master control module 20 and the wireless charging module are arranged in the containing cavity 11 of the main body 10. The master control module 20 includes a function control unit 21, and the function control unit 21 is used for controlling the function load 50 in the shower 100 to work. The wireless charging receiving module 30 is connected with the master control module 20, and is used for power supply for the master control module 20.
[0039] The wireless charging receiving module 30 generates a voltage by cooperating with the wireless charging device 200, so that the power supply for the control of the function control unit 21 in the master control module 20 to the function load 50 can be provided. Therefore, the shower 100 does not need to additionally set a charging interface, improves the flexibility of the design of the shower 100, and reduces the production process difficulty of the shower 100.
[0040] The specific shape structure of the main body 10 of the shower 100 in the embodiments of the application is not limited. As shown in Figure 2 , in some embodiments, the main body 10 of the shower 100 includes a shell, and the containing cavity 11 is surrounded by the shell. For example, the shell as a whole can be in a rectangular box structure. Taking the installation and placement state of the shower 100 in normal use as an example, the upper surface of the main body 10 can be arranged obliquely, which can effectively avoid water accumulation on the upper surface of the main body 10.
[0041] The main control module 20 of the shower 100 is used to control the working of the functional load 50 in the shower 100. For example, the main control module 20 comprises a main control board, and the control circuit for controlling the functional load 50 in the shower 100 is arranged on the main control board. In the embodiment of the present application, the specific functional load 50 arranged in the shower 100 is not limited, for example, the functional load 50 in the shower 100 can include the electromagnetic valve for controlling the opening and closing of water, the thermostat valve core for controlling the temperature to be raised or lowered, the display screen, the light, the temperature sensor and the flow sensor, etc., but is not limited thereto. It can be understood that the functional control unit 21 is connected with each functional load 50 respectively, for example, the specific control electromagnetic valve for controlling the opening and closing of water, the display screen for displaying the water temperature, the light for controlling the opening and closing and the change of brightness, etc.
[0042] The wireless charging receiving module 30 is connected with the main control module 20, so that the functional control unit 21 in the main control module 20 can be charged by cooperating with the wireless charging device 200. The specific structure of the wireless charging receiving module 30 can be arranged according to the specific cooperation type between the wireless charging receiving module 30 and the wireless charging device 200, for example, the cooperation type between the wireless charging receiving module 30 and the wireless charging device 200 can be electromagnetic induction charging, magnetic resonance charging or electric field coupling charging, but is not limited thereto. The wireless charging device 200 can be a wireless charging seat connected with a power supply, or a wireless charging power bank.
[0043] Please refer to Figure 3In some embodiments, the wireless charging receiving module 30 and the wireless charging device 200 realize charging through electromagnetic induction principle. The wireless charging receiving module 30 includes a receiving coil 31 and an electric energy processing unit 32. The receiving coil 31 is used to generate a voltage in cooperation with the wireless charging device 200, and the receiving coil 31 is connected to an input end of the electric energy processing unit 32. An output end of the electric energy processing unit 32 is connected to the master control module 20, so that the wireless charging receiving module 30 supplies power to the master control module 20. The receiving coil 31 can be a metal conductive coil coiled in a planar array, for example, a copper coil. The two ends of the copper coil are connected to the electric energy processing unit 32. In the present embodiment, the specific coiled shape and size of the copper coil are not limited, for example, the coiled shape of the receiving coil 31 can be rectangular or racetrack-shaped, and the specific size of the receiving coil 31 can be set according to specific requirements. Since the two ends of the receiving coil 31 are connected to the electric energy processing unit 32, a closed loop is formed, so that a varying current and voltage can be obtained. Then, the varying current and voltage are processed by the electric energy processing unit 32, and a stable current and voltage are output from the output end of the electric energy processing unit 32 to the master control module 20, so as to supply power to the master control module 20. In the present embodiment, the specific structure of the electric energy processing unit 32 is not limited, for example, in some embodiments, the electric energy processing unit 32 can be a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) for processing electric energy, and a voltage stabilizing circuit and a current stabilizing circuit are integrated in the electric energy processing unit 32. The voltage stabilizing circuit converts the varying voltage into a stable voltage output, and the current stabilizing circuit converts the varying current into a stable current output. In the present embodiment, the specific structures of the voltage stabilizing circuit and the current stabilizing circuit are not limited.
[0044] As Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the wireless charging receiver module 30 further includes a mounting plate 33. The mounting plate 33 is also disposed in the accommodating cavity 11 formed by the main body 10, and the receiving coil 31 and the power processing unit 32 are both disposed on the mounting plate 33. For example, the mounting plate 33 has opposing first side 331 and second side 332. The first side 331 is disposed against the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 11, and the second side 332 forms a first mounting groove 333 and a second mounting groove 334. The receiving coil 31 is embedded in the first mounting groove 333, and the power processing unit 32 is embedded in the second mounting groove 334. To secure the receiving coil 31 and the power processing unit 32 in the first mounting slot 333 and the second mounting slot 334 respectively, after the receiving coil 31 and the power processing unit 32 are embedded in the first mounting slot 333 and the second mounting slot 334 respectively, they can be sealed and fixed using potting adhesive. This achieves waterproof and moisture-proof sealing of the receiving coil 31 and the power processing unit 32 in the first mounting slot 333 and the second mounting slot 334 respectively, extending the service life of the shower 100. The potting adhesive can be a non-conductive adhesive such as silicone or epoxy resin.
[0045] It should be noted that the first side 331 of the mounting plate 33 is fitted against the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 11. Since the wireless charging device 200 needs to cooperate with the receiving coil 31 on the mounting plate 33, it can be understood that the placement area 12 of the wireless charging device 200 on the main body 10 should correspond to the position of the mounting plate 33 against the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 11. For example, if the placement area 12 of the wireless charging device 200 is located on the upper surface of the main body 10, the corresponding mounting plate 33 is fitted against the upper wall of the accommodating cavity 11. Since the upper surface of the main body 10 is inclined, to facilitate the stable placement of the wireless charging device 200 on the upper surface of the main body 10, such as... Figure 4 As shown, a limiting extension 13 is also formed on the upper surface of the main body 10. The limiting extension 13 is configured such that when the wireless charging device 200 is placed on the upper surface of the main body 10, the limiting extension 13 is located at the lower edge of the wireless charging device 200, thereby preventing the wireless charging device 200 from sliding off the upper surface of the main body 10. At the same time, in order to prevent water from accumulating on the side of the limiting extension 13 facing the placement area 12 of the wireless charging device 200, a plurality of water channels 14 may also be provided on the limiting extension 13.
[0046] like Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the master module 20 further comprises a charge-discharge control unit 22. When the master module 20 comprises the charge-discharge control unit 22, the output end of the electric energy processing unit 32 can be connected to the input end of the charge-discharge control unit 22 in the master module 20, and the output end of the charge-discharge control unit 22 is connected to the function control unit 21. The charge-discharge control unit 22 is used to process the electric energy input from the wireless charging receiving module 30. The specific structure of the charge-discharge control unit 22 is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. For example, the charge-discharge control unit can control whether to input electric energy to the function control unit 21 according to the power demand of the function control unit 21. In some embodiments, the shower 100 can further comprise a power storage module 40, which is arranged in the accommodating cavity 11, so that the output end of the charge-discharge control unit 22 is further connected to the power storage module 40. In this way, the charge-discharge control unit 22 can deliver the electric energy input from the wireless charging receiving module 30 to the power storage module 40 for storage when the function control unit 21 has no power demand, so that the output end of the power storage module 40 is also connected to the input end of the function control unit 21. In this way, when the charge-discharge control unit 22 has no electric energy input and the function control unit 21 has power demand, the function control unit 21 can be powered by the power storage module 40. By arranging the master module 20 to comprise the charge-discharge control unit 22 and the accommodating cavity 11 to comprise the power storage module 40, when the wireless charging receiving module 30 inputs electric energy to the charge-discharge control unit 22, the charge-discharge control unit 22 can be arranged to supply electric energy to the function control unit 21 or deliver electric energy to the power storage module 40 according to the actual demand. For example, the charge-discharge control unit 22 can be arranged to supply electric energy to the function control unit 21, supply electric energy to the function control unit 21 when the function control unit 21 has power demand, and deliver electric energy to the power storage module 40 for storage when the function control unit 21 has no power demand.
[0047] As shown, in some embodiments, the shower 100 further comprises a power storage module 40 arranged in the accommodating cavity 11. In this way, the wireless charging receiving module 30 can be connected to the master module 20 through the power storage module 40. In this way, the output end of the wireless charging receiving module 30 is directly connected to the input end of the power storage module 40, and the output end of the power storage module 40 is connected to the input end of the master module 20, so that the power storage module 40 directly supplies electric energy to the power demand of the master module 20. Figure 6
[0048] It should be noted that the power storage module 40 in the above embodiments of the present application can be a battery with charge-discharge function, but is not limited thereto.
[0049] In other embodiments, the present application further provides a shower system, which comprises the shower 100 of any of the above embodiments.
