Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom product technology, specifically to a simple overhead shower structure and water outlet device, which is particularly suitable for shower equipment and can improve the distribution of water flow and water outlet effect. Background Technology
[0002] Existing overhead showers on the market typically consist of a casing, nuts, a water valve body, and a water outlet panel, among other parts. They suffer from the following drawbacks: 1. Numerous mating parts with high dimensional accuracy requirements lead to high product costs; 2. Complex structures make assembly difficult. Furthermore, in existing overhead shower devices, water flow is generally confined within the shower's internal space and then flows out through through-holes. This means that during the water flow process, the water remains within the shower's internal cavity, and the user cannot observe the water flow, negatively impacting the user experience and resulting in a poor overall experience. Additionally, existing overhead showers have a single water flow path, lacking a sense of depth and variation in the water output. Utility Model Content

[0006] Furthermore, the water outlet surface of the top sprinkler body is formed into a funnel shape, with the open end facing downwards so that the water flow is suitable to flow down the shape of the water-blocking block under the action of gravity.
[0007] Furthermore, a plurality of water outlet rings are formed on the water outlet surface, and each water outlet ring includes a plurality of water-blocking blocks evenly distributed along the circumference.

[0021] Combination Figures 1 to 3As shown, this embodiment provides a water outlet device, including a simple overhead shower structure. The simple overhead shower structure includes an overhead shower body 2 and an outlet baffle 3. The outlet surface 21 of the overhead shower body 2 is located on its bottom surface and exposed to the user's view. Multiple water-blocking blocks 23 are provided on the bottom surface to allow water to flow down the shape of the water-blocking blocks under gravity. The outlet baffle 3 is connected below the outlet surface 21 of the overhead shower body 2, is tightly connected to the overhead shower body, and has an outlet gap 33 between itself and the outlet surface 21, allowing water to flow circumferentially through the outlet gap 33 to the outlet surface 21.
[0022] In this embodiment, the main body 2 of the sprinkler can be square, circular, or other shapes. It can be made of plastic and have a single-piece structure, which simplifies the mold structure and reduces costs. In other embodiments, it can also be made of materials such as aluminum alloy, but is not limited to these.
[0023] Combination Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the bottom surface of the main body 2 of the shower head is the water outlet surface 21, on which densely distributed water-blocking blocks 23, or other shapes that can change the direction of water flow, are arranged. This allows the water on the outlet surface to flow naturally down along the shape of the water-blocking blocks under the action of gravity, forming a rain-like effect. Preferably, guide strips can also be provided on the water outlet surface 21 of the main body 2 of the shower head to change the direction of water flow and make the rain effect more comfortable. In use, the water outlet surface 21 of the main body 2 of the shower head faces downward and is exposed to the user's field of vision, allowing the user to directly see the shape of the water outlet surface of the shower head and the flow effect of the water on the shower head, bringing the user a different feeling and experience.
[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the water outlet surface 21 of the top sprinkler body 2 is formed into a funnel shape, with the open end facing downwards so that the water flow is suitable for flowing down the shape of the water baffle 23 under the action of gravity. Here, the funnel shape can make the water flow effect on the water outlet surface better, which is conducive to the water flow along the water outlet surface of the top sprinkler body.
[0025] Combination Figure 3As shown, in another embodiment, a plurality of water outlet rings 22 are formed on the water outlet surface 21. Here, the water outlet rings 22 can be annular shapes that diffuse outward from the water outlet baffle 3 as the center. It should be noted that the water outlet rings 22 refer to those formed by multiple baffle blocks 23 arranged around the circumference, so that a circular water outlet effect can be formed when water is discharged. Preferably, each water outlet ring 22 includes a plurality of baffle blocks 23 evenly distributed circumferentially, and the baffle blocks 23 on adjacent water outlet rings 22 are staggered along the radial direction of the water outlet surface, so that the water flow can smoothly reach the area of each baffle block under the guidance of the guide strip, which is conducive to the water flow smoothly reaching the outermost baffle block 23 to drip.
[0026] Guide strips are provided between adjacent water-blocking blocks 23 to guide water flow to each water-blocking block 22. Specifically, the guide strips may include a tree-branch-shaped guide structure 24 and a trough-shaped guide structure 26. The tree-branch-shaped guide structure 24 includes a plurality of guide plates 25 to guide water flow to the range of adjacent water-blocking blocks; the trough-shaped guide structure 26 forms a guide groove to guide water flow to the corresponding water-blocking block. For example, the tree-branch-shaped guide structure 24 and the trough-shaped guide structure 26 can be arranged alternately, with the trough-shaped guide structure 26 positioned between two adjacent tree-branch-shaped guide structures 24. The trough-shaped guide structure 26 includes symmetrically arranged guide plates 27, and a plurality of water-blocking blocks 23 are provided between the guide plates 27 and the tree-branch-shaped guide structure 24, so that water flow can flow out along the flow channel between the two guide plates 27 and the flow channel between the guide plates 27 and the tree-branch-shaped guide structure 24. Multiple water-blocking blocks 23 are staggered along the radial direction between the guide plate 27 and the tree-branch-shaped guide structure 24 so that the water flow can smoothly reach each water-blocking block.
[0027] In this embodiment, the water-blocking block 23 is configured as a V-shaped block, which is vertically positioned on the water outlet surface 21; an arc-shaped water outlet groove is formed at the angled connection of the V-shaped block. The water-blocking block 23 can be integrally formed on the water outlet surface 21 of the main body 2 of the sprinkler. The water-blocking block design allows the water flow to converge through the V-shaped block structure after reaching the water-blocking block, and then drip down along the arc-shaped water outlet groove, thereby better forming a rain effect. It should be noted that the size of the water-blocking block 23 can be set differently in different water outlet rings 22, so that the water droplet effect of the main body of the sprinkler is different at different positions. Of course, in other embodiments, the water-blocking block 23 is not limited to the shape of a V-shaped structure; all shapes or textures based on the principle of changing the direction of water flow are included in this patent.
[0028] The main body of the overhead shower 2 can be connected to the shower arm through the adapter component 1 to connect the water path. Alternatively, the main body of the overhead shower can be directly installed on the shower arm and directly connected to the shower arm.
[0029] In this embodiment, the main body 2 of the sprinkler is provided with a water inlet, and the water outlet baffle 3 is located directly below the water inlet. It can be connected to the main body 2 of the sprinkler by bolts or other structures, or it can be integrally formed with the main body 2 of the sprinkler. The water-blocking surface of the water outlet baffle 3 can be an arc surface or other shapes, used to change the speed and angle of the water flow. By controlling the size of the gap between the water outlet baffle 3 and the water outlet surface 21 on the upper wall of the sprinkler body, the water flow can be evenly diffused to the water outlet surface of the sprinkler body. Specifically, the side of the water outlet baffle 3 facing the water outlet is provided with an arc-shaped guide groove 31. Here, the arc-shaped guide groove 31 forms a structure similar to a V-shaped groove. The side of the arc-shaped guide groove 31 near the outer side is set as an arc-shaped surface 32, so that after the water flow enters from the water inlet, it first impacts the arc-shaped guide groove 31, and then flows upward along the arc-shaped surface 32 and flows out in a complete circle from the water outlet gap 33 between the water outlet baffle 3 and the sprinkler body 2. This design allows the water flow entering from the main body of the sprinkler to change its direction. The arc-shaped guide groove 31 helps to change the water flow direction, and at the same time, the water flows faster when exiting through the outlet gap 33, so that the water can flow along the outlet surface 21 of the main body of the sprinkler with a certain initial velocity, instead of flowing directly down the outer wall of the outlet baffle 3. It should be noted that the outlet gap 33 mentioned here is between 0.5mm and 5mm.
[0030] This embodiment provides a simple and easy-to-assemble overhead shower structure with low overall cost, making the product more competitive and solving the problems of complex overhead shower structures and difficult assembly. It also provides a purely gravity-driven overhead shower structure, giving users a unique rain-like bathing experience.
[0031] It should be understood that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions that fall within the scope of the present utility model are protected by the present utility model.
