[0023] 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 a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. 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 represents selected 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.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0025] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0026] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0027] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0028] Referring to the accompanying drawings, a shower head with a spray nozzle includes a connected water channel 10 and an inner body 20. Water flows from the water channel to the inner body. A T-shaped three-way pipe 30 is provided on the inner body. The water inlet end of the three-way pipe is inserted into the inner body to allow water to flow from the water channel to the three-way pipe. A sliding member 33 is provided inside the three-way pipe. As the shower head swings, the sliding member can move within the three-way pipe due to its gravity. The two ends of the three-way pipe are respectively provided with a first outlet 31 and a second outlet 32. The movement of the sliding member within the three-way pipe can block the first outlet and the second outlet. The first outlet can be connected to a nozzle 41. During use, by changing the angle of the shower head, the water outlet of the three-way pipe can be changed, thereby switching the water flow.

[0029] Preferably, a sealing element 34 is provided at both the first outlet and the second outlet. The sealing element can cooperate with the sliding element to block the first outlet and the second outlet. The sliding element can be a gravity ball, and the sealing element can be a sealing element of a diaphragm. When the gravity ball cooperates with the diaphragm, the water flow is blocked, allowing water to flow out from the other unblocked outlet.

[0030] Furthermore, the system also includes a housing 40 and a water outlet panel 42. The water outlet panel has water outlet holes that can be combined in various ways to dispense water. The nozzle is located at the top of the housing, and the water channel is located at the bottom of the housing. The first outlet is located below the second outlet, and the second outlet can be connected to the water outlet panel. When the nozzle is facing upward, the sliding member moves towards the first outlet under the action of gravity, and water is dispensed from the water outlet panel. When the nozzle is facing downward, the sliding member moves towards the second outlet under the action of gravity, and water passes through the first outlet, and the nozzle sprays water, thus realizing the function of a spray gun. The housing also includes a water distribution body 50, which has a first water channel 51 and at least one second water channel 52. The first outlet can be connected to the inlet end of the first water channel via a connector, and the outlet end of the first water channel can be connected to the nozzle. The water flow from the second outlet can be connected to the water outlet panel via the second water channel. The inner body is provided with a water distribution chamber 21, and the second outlet can communicate with the water distribution chamber. A switching mechanism 60 is provided at the water distribution chamber. The water distribution body has at least two second water channels. The switching mechanism can direct the water flow in the water distribution chamber to different second water channels, so that water with different functions can be discharged from the water outlet panel. The water distribution body includes a water distribution plate 53 and a water-blocking plate 54 connected to each other. The water inlet end of the second water channel is located on the water distribution plate. The connector is inserted through the opening 55 of the water distribution plate and communicates with the first water channel. The switching mechanism includes a rotating disk 61. The rotating disk is provided with a water passage hole 62. The water passage hole can communicate with the water inlet end of different second water channels. The rotating disk and the water distribution body are sealed at the end face to ensure the independence of each second water channel and prevent water from flowing between them. The switching mechanism also includes a pressing chamber, a delay mechanism, gears, and other components, which are similar to existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0031] Furthermore, a water-stopping device is installed on the water inlet channel at the front end of the three-way pipe. This water-stopping device is located in the inner body, which has a matching water inlet 22 and a moving shaft 71. When the moving shaft engages with the water inlet, it shuts off the water flow. A return spring 72 is installed between the moving shaft and the inner body, allowing the moving shaft to move out of the water inlet. The outer casing also has a button 73, which connects to the moving shaft to allow them to move synchronously. A sealing ring 74 is provided on the outer periphery of the moving shaft to engage with the water inlet. When switching between different water outlets on the spray gun, the existing flow channel is pressurized, preventing the sliding component from moving without a continuous water supply. Pressing the button compresses the return spring, blocking the inlet and stopping water from entering the T-connector. This allows the existing water flow to exit, and the water pressure no longer restricts the sliding component, enabling it to move within the T-connector and switch to the other outlet. Releasing the button causes the moving shaft to move under the action of the return spring, reopening the inlet and allowing water to flow from the other outlet, thus switching the spray gun's water usage.

[0032] More specifically, this utility model describes a shower head structure that allows for switching between shower water and spray gun water functions without a switching button. The specific solution is as follows: 1. When the shower head is tilted upwards, the gravity sliding component blocks the seal of the first outlet of the spray gun under the influence of gravity. When the water outlet switch is opened, water flows from the large shower panel, similar to a regular shower head, allowing for the switching between different water spray patterns on the large panel for showering. When the shower head is tilted downwards, the seal of the second outlet of the shower water is blocked. When the water outlet switch is opened, spray gun water flows, which can be used for rinsing. 2. This shower head structure can also have a faucet switch installed on the shower head, replacing the faucet switch for function switching. This can be achieved by holding the shower head, eliminating the need to turn off the faucet, allowing for one-handed water shut-off and water switching.

[0033] The foregoing description illustrates and describes preferred embodiments of the present invention. As previously stated, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the forms disclosed herein and should not be construed as excluding other embodiments. It can be used in various other combinations, modifications, and environments, and can be altered within the scope of the inventive concept described herein through the foregoing teachings or related technical or knowledge. Any modifications and variations made by those skilled in the art that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention should be within the protection scope of the appended claims.
