Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom product technology, specifically to a bidirectional adjustable waist spray shower faucet. Background Technology

[0002] A shower column is a common showering device with a socket on its column for inserting a handheld showerhead. Users can remove the handheld showerhead to rinse any area they want while showering. Shower columns usually also include a head showerhead fixed to the end of the column, which sprays water downwards but has only a small adjustable angle to control the water direction. Because using the head showerhead inevitably involves rinsing the head, some people, especially women with long hair, rarely use it. When the handheld showerhead is plugged in, the water angle adjustment range is also limited, and it's not suitable for rinsing the waist or legs. Due to the limited rinsing angle and distance, the water temperature felt on the waist and legs is relatively low, resulting in a poor showering experience. Increasing the water temperature poses a risk of scalding. Users typically remove the handheld showerhead to rinse their waist and legs more closely. However, this prevents washing both hands simultaneously, and prolonged rinsing of the waist can lead to hand fatigue, further complicating the showering experience.

[0003] Currently, only a few showerheads on the market feature a lumbar spray function. These showerheads are equipped with a specially designed lumbar spray faucet for direct rinsing of the lower back during showering. However, existing lumbar spray faucets often have a fixed angle and are difficult to adjust. With continuous product development, adjustable lumbar spray faucets have emerged, but they only offer a very small range of angle adjustment. Due to the significant differences in height among shower users, the lumbar spray function is limited, thus restricting its practical use. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem of the small angle adjustment range of existing waist spray shower faucets and to provide a bidirectional adjustable waist spray shower faucet.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A bidirectional adjustable waist-spray shower faucet includes a water distribution base and a waist-spray assembly. The water distribution base includes a seat body and a water supply system. The seat body has a hollow structure to form an installation cavity. The front end and outer wall of the seat body protrude outward to form a connecting protrusion. Both ends of the connecting protrusion are provided with connecting holes. The water supply system is located inside the installation cavity, and its input end is connected to an external water supply pipe. The waist-spray assembly includes an annular nozzle body and an axial water outlet component disposed on the nozzle body. The nozzle body is rotatably connected to the connecting hole, and its input end is connected to the output end of the water supply system. The water outlet component is axially rotatably disposed on the nozzle body and is provided with a water outlet hole. The output end of the nozzle body communicates with the inner side of the water outlet component.

[0007] Compared to existing technologies, this invention features a rotatable connection between the nozzle body and the connecting hole, allowing the nozzle body to rotate relative to the water distribution seat along the axis of the connecting hole. Simultaneously, the water outlet component is also rotatably mounted on the nozzle body, enabling users to flexibly adjust the angle and direction of both the nozzle body and the water outlet component, with a wider range of adjustable angles. During use, users can easily adjust the water flow direction and angle according to their needs and showering habits, resulting in a more comfortable and convenient showering experience. Furthermore, the ring-shaped design of the nozzle body makes it easier to grip during use.

[0008] Furthermore, the water inlet of the waist spray assembly is equipped with a connector, and the spray head body is connected to the water supply system through the connector.

[0009] Furthermore, a buffer positioning mechanism is provided between the nozzle body and the connecting hole to keep the nozzle body fixed after it is rotated. In this design, the buffer positioning mechanism can fix the nozzle body in the desired position after it is rotated to the required angle, preventing it from rotating downwards under gravity or accidentally changing the water outlet direction due to water flow impact or other external forces.

[0010] Furthermore, the water distribution base is equipped with a control system, with a control interface adapted to the base. The control valves of the control system are located on the water supply system. This solution allows users to directly control the water flow from the shower faucet through the control interface during showering, such as turning the water on and off and adjusting the water volume, without having to touch other parts of the shower system, thus improving ease of use.

[0011] Furthermore, the shower head body includes a U-shaped first connecting pipe and a second connecting pipe, the two ends of which are connected by a flexible connector to form a ring. This improved design, using U-shaped first and second connecting pipes connected by a flexible connector to form a ring, simplifies the installation process, increases installation flexibility, and facilitates maintenance, replacement, and cleaning. During use, if dirt or impurities accumulate on the shower head body, it can be easily disassembled for cleaning and maintenance, ensuring the hygiene and lifespan of the shower faucet.

[0012] Furthermore, the first connecting pipe has a first socket at one end located within the mounting cavity, and the second connecting pipe is adapted to have a first socket portion. The first socket portion extends outwardly from the end of the second connecting pipe and has a socket opening. The end of the first socket is flexibly connected to the socket opening, and the second socket has a water outlet. This solution is a specific scheme for connecting one end of the first connecting pipe and the second connecting pipe.

[0013] Furthermore, a connecting step is formed between the first socket and the end of the second connecting pipe. A clearance recess is provided around the connecting step, and a water inlet is located in the clearance recess. The connector is T-shaped and is fitted onto the connecting step, with its interior communicating with the water inlet. In this design, water flows sequentially through the output end of the water supply system, the connector, and the water inlet into the nozzle body, and then is sprayed out through the water outlet.

[0014] Furthermore, the buffer positioning mechanism includes a first inner retaining ring, an outer retaining ring, a second inner retaining ring, an elastic buffer, and a locking nut, sequentially sleeved on the first socket. The first and second inner retaining rings respectively abut against opposite sides of the connecting hole. The first inner retaining ring, the second inner retaining ring, the elastic buffer, and the locking nut are movably connected to the first socket. The outer retaining ring is rotatably connected to the first socket. The shape of the connecting hole corresponds to the outer retaining ring, fixing the outer retaining ring in the connecting hole and clamping it between the first and second inner retaining rings. The locking nut presses against the elastic buffer. In this design, the inner and outer retaining rings can rotate relative to each other, and the locking nut presses the elastic buffer tightly, ensuring sufficient frictional resistance on the contact surfaces between the inner and outer retaining rings. This allows the nozzle body to swing to any position and remain fixed.

[0015] Furthermore, the first connecting pipe has a first connecting part at one end located on the outside of the base, and the second connecting pipe has a corresponding second connecting part. Both ends of the water outlet are respectively fitted onto the first and second connecting parts. A second socket is provided at the second connecting part, and the second socket is connected to the first connecting part via a socket joint. This solution is a specific scheme for connecting the other ends of the first and second connecting pipes and the water outlet.

[0016] Furthermore, an elastic connecting ring is provided between the aforementioned water outlet component and the first and second connecting pipes. When the axial water outlet component is inserted into the connecting pipe, the elastic connecting ring is compressed between the two. Due to its elasticity, the connecting ring can fit tightly between the water outlet component and the connecting pipe, forming an effective seal. At the same time, the elasticity of the connecting ring also allows the water outlet component to rotate axially relative to the connecting pipe when subjected to external force.

The control valve of the control system is located on the water supply system, so that the user can directly control the water output of the shower faucet through the control key 24 on the seat body 21 during the shower, such as turning the water on and off, adjusting the water volume, etc., without touching other parts of the shower system, thereby improving the convenience of use.

[0030] The control interface is equipped with buttons and knobs for controlling water flow and water temperature.

[0031] The shower head body 4 includes a U-shaped first connecting pipe 42 and a second connecting pipe 43. The two ends of the first connecting pipe 42 and the second connecting pipe 43 are connected by a flexible plug structure to form a ring, which simplifies the installation process, improves installation flexibility, and facilitates maintenance, replacement, and cleaning. During use, if dirt or impurities accumulate on the shower head body 4, it can be easily disassembled for cleaning and maintenance, ensuring the hygiene and service life of the shower faucet.

[0032] The specific connection scheme of the first connecting pipe 42 and the second connecting pipe 43 located at one end in the mounting cavity is as follows: the first connecting pipe 42 is provided with a first socket 421, and the second connecting pipe 43 is adapted to be provided with a first socket 432. The first socket 432 extends straight outward from the end of the second connecting pipe 43, and the first socket 432 is provided with a socket opening. The first socket 421 is flexibly connected to the socket opening.

[0033] To assemble the connector 41 onto the nozzle body 4, a connecting step 434 is formed between the first socket 432 and the end of the second connecting pipe 43. A clearance recess 435 is provided around the connecting step 434, and a water inlet 436 is provided on the clearance recess 435. The connector 41 is T-shaped and is fitted onto the connecting step 434, with its interior communicating with the water inlet 436. During water discharge, the water flows sequentially through the output end of the water supply system, the connector 41, and the water inlet 436 into the nozzle body 4, and is then sprayed out through the water outlet 5.

[0034] The specific design of the aforementioned buffer positioning mechanism 6 is as follows: it includes a first inner retaining ring 61, an outer retaining ring 62, a second inner retaining ring 63, an elastic buffer member 64, and a locking nut 65 sequentially sleeved on the first receiving plug 421.
