Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model generally relates to the field of bathroom equipment technology, and more specifically, to a shower head. Background Technology

[0002] Shower heads, also known as shower heads, are common shower products in bathrooms, and are generally divided into handheld, overhead, and body-mounted types. Handheld shower heads, which can be held in the hand for easy showering, or used directly with a wall-mounted bracket, offer flexibility and are the most widely used. However, existing handheld shower heads require the other hand to control the water inlet switch at the end of the shower hose to adjust the water flow, reducing the flow after most of the shower gel has been rinsed off or when rinsing sensitive areas. In practical use, such as when showering children or pets, users often need to squat, making the water inlet switch out of reach. Adding to this the inconvenience of holding the shower head in one hand and lathering with the other while controlling the water flow via the inlet switch, it becomes extremely difficult. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a shower head with a more convenient water flow adjustment mechanism to solve this problem.

[0003] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0045] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar structures, and therefore their detailed description will be omitted.

[0046] The described features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. Numerous specific details are provided in the following description to give a full understanding of embodiments of the present invention. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that the technical solutions of the present invention can be practiced without one or more of the specific details described, or other methods, components, materials, etc., can be employed. In other instances, well-known structures, materials, or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring various aspects of the present invention.

[0047] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features well-known in the art have not been described in order to avoid confusion with the present invention.

[0048] refer to Figures 1-2 This embodiment provides a shower head, including: a shower head 10, which has a water control chamber 11 and a first water outlet channel 12 and a water inlet channel 16 respectively connected to the water control chamber 11; a handle 20, which is connected to the shower head 10, and the handle 20 has a water supply channel 21 connected to the water inlet channel 16; a push rod 30, the first end of which is located in the water control chamber 11, and the second end of which is slidably connected to the handle 20; the first water outlet channel 12 and the water control chamber 11 are connected to form a first water outlet 13; the first end of the push rod 30 is provided with a piston head 31 for opening or blocking the first water outlet 13 after the push rod 30 slides. The shower head 10 has a face cover 41, the water control chamber 11 is located on the face cover 41, and the side of the face cover 41 away from the water control chamber 11 has a water outlet panel 411, and the water outlet panel 411 has a nozzle structure 42 connected to the first water outlet channel 12.

[0049] In this embodiment, the water control chamber 11 is a long cylindrical shape with an opening at one end. The first end of the push rod 30 passes through the opening into the water control chamber 11. The piston head 31 is tightly sealed against the inner wall of the water control chamber 11 to prevent leakage between the piston head 31 and the water control chamber 11 when the piston head 31 slides along the length of the water control chamber 11, thus affecting the water output control. In use, the second end of the push-pull handle 20 drives the push rod 30 to slide, causing the piston head 31 to open or block the first water outlet 13, thereby adjusting the water output of the shower head. At the same time, the piston head 31, under the push and pull of the push rod 30, achieves stepless adjustment of the cross-section of the first water outlet 13 channel, making its water flow and water spray effect more controllable and flexible.

[0050] On the other hand, multi-functional showerheads are becoming increasingly common in the market. A common feature is the showerhead 10 with a button for switching water flow. However, this method is often laborious due to the pressing mechanism and only allows for incremental adjustments. When multiple water flow modes are available, multiple presses are required, and stepless adjustment is not possible. Therefore, a showerhead with a one-step switching mechanism and stepless adjustment is needed to achieve the desired water flow mode.

[0051] In another example, refer to Figures 3-6 The shower head 10 is provided with a second water outlet channel 14 that communicates with the water control chamber 11. The second water outlet channel 14 is connected to another spray structure of the water outlet panel 411. The connection between the second water outlet channel 14 and the water control chamber 11 forms a second water outlet 15. When the push rod 30 slides, the piston head 31 opens or blocks the first water outlet 13 and / or the second water outlet 15. In this embodiment, when the push rod 30 slides to the first position, the piston head 31 blocks the second water outlet 15 and opens the first water outlet 13. When the push rod 30 slides to the second position, the piston head 31 blocks the first water outlet 13 and opens the second water outlet 15. The outer wall of the piston head 31 and the inner wall of the water control chamber 11 form a sealed sliding structure. A hollow chamber 32 is provided inside the piston head 31. One side of the piston head 31 has a first opening 33 for movable docking with the water inlet channel 16, and the other side of the piston head 31 has a second opening 35 for movable docking with the first water outlet 13 and / or the second water outlet 15. The first opening 33 and the second opening 35 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the piston head 31, and both openings communicate with the hollow chamber 32. (Reference) Figures 7-9 The sealing sliding structure includes several sealing rings 36 disposed on the outer wall of the piston head 31. The sealing rings 36 are in a sealing sliding fit with the inner wall of the water control chamber 11. Sealing rings 36 are respectively provided on both sides of the first opening 33 and the second opening 35. The first opening 33 is composed of multiple through holes 34 arranged around the piston head 31. The piston head 31 is provided with an open section 37 connected by multiple columns 38. Multiple second openings 35 are disposed between the columns 38.

[0052] In this embodiment, the first outlet 13 and the second outlet 15 are arranged on the same side and adjacent to each other, which facilitates the switching and blocking of the first outlet 13 and the second outlet 15 within the short sliding stroke of the push rod 30.

[0053] For details, please refer to Figures 5-6 When the first outlet 13 is opened, the first opening 33 of the piston head 31 connects with the water inlet channel 16, the second opening 35 of the piston head 31 connects with the first outlet 13, and the second outlet 15 is separated and sealed between the first opening 33 and the second opening 35 by the sealing ring 36 and cannot discharge water.

[0054] refer to Figure 10 When the second outlet 15 is to be opened, the push rod 30 is slowly pushed up, and the second opening 35 of the piston head 31 gradually connects with the second outlet 15, while the first outlet 13 gradually enters the closed space between the sealing rings 36 and stops discharging water.

[0055] refer to Figure 11 As the push rod 30 continues to be pushed upwards, the second opening 35 of the piston head 31 is gradually blocked by the inner wall of the water control chamber 11. Neither the first outlet 13 nor the second outlet 15 receives water flow, at which point the shower head 10 stops spraying water. Because the first opening 33 of the piston head 31 must remain in contact with the water inlet channel 16 during the switching process between the first outlet 13 and the second outlet 15, the first opening 33 has a certain length and is set along the length of the piston head 31. In this embodiment, multiple and multiple rows of through holes 34 in the first opening 33 are arranged along the length of the piston head 31. Since the size of the water outlet cross-section of the first outlet 13 or the second outlet 15 can be steplessly adjusted during the sliding process of the piston head 31, the water flow rate can be adjusted. Combined with the water outlet structure on the faceplate 41, some changes in the water spray can be made.

[0056] Among them, reference Figure 12 During the switching process, the sliding stroke of the push rod 30 is adjusted by the push button 52 to control the alignment between the second opening 35 of the piston head 31 and the first outlet 13 of the water control chamber 11, thereby realizing stepless adjustment of the size of its water outlet cross section and achieving the function of adjusting the water flow rate. Combined with the water spray structure on the face cover 41, some changes in water spray can be made.

[0057] refer to Figure 13 During the switching process, the sliding stroke of the push rod 30 is adjusted by the push button 52 to control the alignment degree between the second opening 35 of the piston head 31 and the second outlet 15 of the water control chamber 11, thereby realizing the stepless adjustment of the size of its water outlet cross section and achieving the function of adjusting the water flow rate. Combined with the water spray structure on the face cover 41, some changes in water spray can be made.

[0058] In one example, reference Figures 2-8The shower head housing 40 is included, with a handle 20 housed within it. A push rod 30 is slidably disposed within the shower head housing 40 along the axial direction of the handle 20. A slider 50 is provided between the shower head housing 40 and the handle 20, and the slider 50 is connected to the second end of the push rod 30. The slider 50 has a push button 52 exposed outside the shower head housing 40. In use, pushing or pulling the push button 52 causes the slider 50 inside the shower head housing 40 to slide along the length of the handle 20. At this time, the push rod 30 connected to the slider 50 slides accordingly, causing the piston head 31 on the first end of the push rod 30 to switch the water flow between the first water outlet 13 and the second water outlet 15. A resistance structure is provided between the slider 50 and the shower head housing 40 to prevent the slider 50 from sliding. The resistance structure can play a certain limiting role, stabilizing its position after pushing or pulling the push button 52 and the slider 50, maintaining the water flow path and water volume, and preventing it from resetting.

[0059] In one example, reference Figures 2-8 The shower head 10 and the handle 20 are connected by a deflection mechanism. The connection between the slider 50 and the second end of the push rod 30 is provided with a deflection part 51 for adjusting the sliding path of the push rod 30. The water supply channel 21 is provided with a water guide connector 22 for internal connection within the water inlet channel 16.

[0060] In this embodiment, to reduce the spray angle when the shower head 10 is mounted on the wall bracket, the shower head 10 and the handle 20 are configured with a deflected connection structure. That is, the shower head 10 and the handle 20 are not a straight structure. Therefore, when the handle 20 is vertically mounted on the wall bracket, the shower head 10 is deflected downwards, thus reducing the spray angle. Correspondingly, the shower housing 40 outside the shower head 10 and the handle 20 is a deflected structure. A deflection part 51 is provided between the slider 50 and the push rod 30, and a water guide connector 22 is provided between the water supply channel 21 and the water inlet channel 16 to achieve the corresponding deflected connection.

[0061] It should be understood that the various examples described above can be utilized in multiple directions (e.g., tilted, inverted, horizontal, vertical, etc.) and in multiple configurations without departing from the principles of this invention. The embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples of effective application of the principles of this invention, and the invention is not limited to any specific details of these embodiments.

[0062] Of course, upon careful consideration of the above description of the representative embodiments, those skilled in the art will readily understand that various modifications, additions, substitutions, deletions, and other changes can be made to these specific embodiments, and that such changes are within the scope of the principles of this invention. Therefore, the foregoing detailed description should be clearly understood as being given by way of illustration and example only, and the spirit and scope of this invention are defined solely by the appended claims and their equivalents.
