[0038] To further illustrate the various embodiments, the present invention provides accompanying drawings. These drawings are part of the disclosure of the present invention and are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments, and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these drawings, those skilled in the art should be able to understand other possible implementations and the advantages of the present invention. Components in the drawings are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.

[0039] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, this utility model discloses a shower head, including a faceplate assembly 1, a water distribution assembly 2, and a main body 3. The faceplate assembly 1 is rotatably connected to the water distribution assembly 2, and the water distribution assembly 2 is rotatably connected to the main body 3.

[0040] The main body 3 is provided with a water inlet 31 for connecting a water pipe. The main body 3 is provided with a water channel to guide the water at the water inlet to the water distribution component 2. The face cover component 1 is provided with multiple water outlets 101 for spraying water. The face cover component 1 and the water distribution component 2 rotate synchronously relative to the main body 1 to control the water outlets 101 to spray water and switch the type of water spray.

[0041] This embodiment takes three types of water splashes as examples. The faceplate assembly 1 and the water distribution assembly 2 are located relative to the main body 1. Figure 2 When the direction shown is as indicated, the switching handle 102 of the faceplate assembly 1 is located in the extension direction of the water inlet 31, all the water outlets 101 of the shower head are spraying water, and the shower head sprays out the first type of water spray; the faceplate assembly 1 and the water distribution assembly 2 are located relative to the main body 1. Figure 8 When the direction shown is as indicated, the switching handle 102 of the faceplate assembly 1 is located to the right of the water inlet 31, and only the water outlet 101 within the dotted frame sprays water, with the shower head spraying a second type of water spray; the faceplate assembly 1 and the water distribution assembly 2 are located relative to the main body 1.Figure 9 When the direction shown is as indicated, the switching handle 102 of the faceplate assembly 1 is located to the left of the water inlet 31, and only the water outlet 101 outside the dotted frame sprays water, with the showerhead spraying a third type of water spray. At this time, if the switching handle 102 continues to rotate to the right, only the faceplate assembly 1 rotates to facilitate its removal, allowing for replacement or cleaning. The types of water sprays that the showerhead can switch and the corresponding water outlet 101 areas for each type are not limited to the above method. In other embodiments, there can be two or four types of water sprays, and the corresponding water outlet areas for each type can be non-overlapping. Specific water spray types and water outlet areas are conventional techniques in the art and will not be elaborated here.

[0042] Switching the shower head water flow is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. This utility model only describes the relevant technical solutions for the disassembly and assembly of the face cover assembly 1.

[0043] See Figure 1 , Figures 7 to 10 As shown, a locking structure A is provided between the shower head assembly 1 and the water distribution assembly 2. Locking structure A switches between a disassembled state and a locked state as the shower head assembly 1 and the water distribution assembly 2 rotate relative to each other. The switching handle 102 of the shower head assembly 1 is used by the user to drive the shower head assembly 1 to rotate. A limiting structure 4 is provided between the water distribution assembly 2 and the main body 3 to limit their relative rotation range. The connection strength between the water distribution assembly 2 and the main body 3 is less than the connection strength between the shower head assembly 1 and the water distribution assembly 2. Within the rotation range limited by the limiting structure 4, the shower head assembly 1 drives the water distribution assembly 2 to rotate synchronously relative to the main body 3 under the driving action of the switching handle 102, thereby switching the water spray type of the shower head. At the rotation limit limited by the limiting structure 4, the water distribution assembly 2 and the main body 3 form a relatively fixed connection. The shower head assembly 1 rotates relative to the water distribution assembly 2 under the driving action of the switching handle 102, thereby allowing the locking structure A to selectively switch to either a disassembled state or a locked state for disassembling or assembling the shower head assembly 1.

[0044] The face cover assembly 1 and the water distribution assembly 2 are rotatably connected, and the water distribution assembly 2 and the main body 3 are rotatably connected, when the user pushes the switching handle part 102 to drive the face cover assembly 1 to rotate, because the connecting strength between the water distribution assembly 2 and the main body 3 is less than the connecting strength between the face cover assembly 1 and the water distribution assembly 2, the water distribution assembly 2 can rotate synchronously with the face cover assembly 1, so that the water spray is switched. When the user continuously pushes the switching handle part 102, the limiting structure 4 is arranged between the water distribution assembly 2 and the main body 3, and the water distribution assembly 2 is no longer rotated, at this time, the face cover assembly 1 is rotated relative to the water distribution assembly 2, so that the locking structure is switched from the locking state to the dismounting state, and the face cover assembly 1 is dismounted. Therefore, the face cover assembly 1 can be switched and the face cover assembly 1 can be switched between the dismounting state and the locking state only by operating the switching handle part 102 on the face cover assembly 1, so that the structure of the shower is simplified, the user can operate the switching handle part 102 more simply, and the problem that the face cover assembly of the existing shower is inconvenient to dismount is solved.

[0045] The locking structure A comprises a center locking structure A1 arranged at the center of the face cover assembly 1 and a ring locking structure A2 arranged at the ring outer side of the face cover assembly 1, the center locking structure A1 and the ring locking structure A2 are synchronously switched to the dismounting state or the locking state with the rotation of the face cover assembly 1 relative to the water distribution assembly 3, the locking structure A is in the locking state, so that the face cover assembly 1 is locked, and the locking structure A is in the dismounting state, so that the face cover assembly 1 can be dismounted relative to the water distribution assembly 2 and the main body 3.

[0046] The center locking structure A1 and the ring locking structure A2 are described below.

[0047] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 11 , the first rotation shaft L1 and the second rotation shaft L2 are coincident. The face cover assembly 1 comprises a face cover 11 and a first locking piece 12 arranged at the first rotation shaft L1, and the water distribution assembly 2 comprises a water distribution body 21 and a second locking piece 22 arranged at the first rotation shaft L1. The second locking piece 22 of the embodiment is integrally connected to the water distribution body 21, and in other embodiments, the second locking piece 22 can be a separate part, so as to be connected to the water distribution body 21 by welding, screwing, bonding or other fixed connection modes. The first locking piece 12 is sleeved on the second locking piece 22, the inner side wall of the first locking piece 12 is provided with a first center locking part 121, and the outer side wall of the second locking piece 22 is provided with a second center locking part 221. The first center locking part 121 and the second center locking part 221 cooperatively form the center locking structure A1.

[0048] The first and second center locking portions 121 and 221 are both L-shaped structures, each comprising a circumferential extension and an axial extension. The circumferential extensions of the first and second center locking portions 121 and 221 are arranged in the axial direction of the first rotation shaft L1. With the relative rotation of the face cover assembly 1 and the water distribution assembly 2, the circumferential extensions of the first and second center locking portions 121 and 221 coincide in the rotation direction, so that the center locking structure A1 forms a locking state. The circumferential extensions of the first and second center locking portions 121 and 221 are separated in the rotation direction, so that the center locking structure A1 forms a disassembly state. The axial extensions of the first and second center locking portions 121 and 121 are used to abut in the locking state to form the rotation limit of the face cover assembly 1, so as to prevent excessive rotation of the face cover assembly 1 during installation of the locking face cover assembly 1.

[0049] The first center locking portion 121 protrudes from the inner side wall of the first locking member 12. The first locking member 12 is further provided with a plug-in protrusion 122. The face cover 11 is provided with a connecting ring portion 111, and the connecting ring portion 111 is provided with a plug-in notch 1110 in the circumferential direction. The plug-in protrusion 122 is inserted into the plug-in notch 1110 to form a limit of the first locking member 12 and the face cover 11 in the rotation direction of the face cover assembly 1, so as to prevent the first locking member 12 and the face cover 11 from rotating undesirably during rotation of the face cover assembly 1, thereby ensuring the reliability of disassembly of the face cover assembly 1 and the reliability of the shower switch. In the embodiment, the plug-in protrusion 122 is formed at the end of the axial extension of the first center locking portion 121, which can simplify the structure of the first locking member 12 and reduce the manufacturing difficulty and cost. In other embodiments, the plug-in protrusion 122 can be formed on the inner side wall of the first locking member 12 independently of the first center locking portion 121.

[0050] The inner side wall of the face cover 11 of the face cover assembly 1 is provided with a plurality of first circumferential locking portions 112 arranged in the circumferential direction. The first circumferential locking portions 112 are protrusions extending in the circumferential direction of the face cover 11. The outer side wall of the water distribution body 21 of the water distribution assembly 2 is provided with second circumferential locking portions 211 corresponding to the first circumferential locking portions 112. The first and second circumferential locking portions 112 and 211 are arranged in the axial direction of the first rotation shaft L1 and cooperate to form a circumferential locking structure A2. With the relative rotation of the face cover assembly 1 and the water distribution assembly 2, the first and second circumferential locking portions 112 and 211 coincide in the rotation direction, so that the circumferential locking structure A2 forms a locking state. The first and second circumferential locking portions 112 and 211 are separated in the rotation direction, so that the circumferential locking structure A2 forms a disassembly state.

[0051] The middle part of two of the protrusions forming the first annular locking portion 112 in the extension direction is provided with a positioning notch 113, and the two positioning notches 113 are arranged in a radial direction opposite to each other of the face cover 11. The outer side wall of the water distribution body 21 is provided with a positioning protrusion 212, the positioning protrusion 212 is arranged corresponding to the positioning notch 113, and the positioning protrusion 212 is located between two adjacent second annular locking portions 211. The positioning notch 113 and the positioning protrusion 212 cooperate to form a mounting positioning structure of the face cover assembly 1. Since the first annular locking portion 112 and the second annular locking portion 211 are arranged in a ring direction of the face cover assembly 1, and since the side wall of the face cover 11 and the water distribution body 21 are both circular, there is a possibility that the face cover assembly 1 is installed in a wrong position. The positioning notch 113 and the positioning protrusion 212 can prevent the face cover assembly 1 from being installed in a wrong position, that is, the positioning notch 113 and the positioning protrusion 212 can position the face cover assembly 1 during installation.

[0052] In other embodiments, one of the positioning notch 113 and the positioning protrusion 212 can also be provided, that is, only one of the protrusions is provided with the positioning notch 113, and correspondingly, the water distribution body 21 is provided with only one positioning protrusion 212 corresponding to the positioning notch 113.

[0053] Since the structure of the face cover assembly 1 cooperating with the water distribution assembly 2 is inside during disassembly and assembly, the user cannot visually check the locking structure during operation, which may cause the face cover assembly 1 to be rotated excessively or not to the right position, thereby increasing the difficulty of disassembly and assembly of the face cover assembly 1. For example, during disassembly of the face cover assembly 1, the face cover assembly 1 needs to be rotated to switch the locking structure from the locked state to the disassembly state. If the face cover assembly 1 is not rotated to the right position, the switching of the locking structure is not completed, and it is difficult to disassemble the face cover assembly 1. During assembly of the face cover assembly 1, the face cover assembly 1 needs to be rotated to switch the locking structure from the disassembly state to the locked state. If the face cover assembly 1 is not rotated to the right position, the switching of the locking structure is not completed, which may cause the face cover assembly 1 to be not installed to the right position, the connection between the face cover assembly 1 and the water distribution assembly 2 does not reach the preset strength and sealing, and the face cover assembly 1 is easily fallen or the shower leaks water.

[0054] Therefore, the utility model sets up feedback structure B, please see Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figures 13 to 15As shown, specifically: the first locking part 12 of the face cover assembly 1 is provided with a first feedback part 123, the water distribution body 21 is connected with a switching feedback part 23, the water distribution body 21 is provided with a groove for accommodating the switching feedback part 23, the switching feedback part 23 is clamped in the groove, the switching feedback part 23 and the water distribution body 21 are provided with an elastic part 24, the switching feedback part 23 is provided with a second feedback part 231, under the elastic force of the elastic part 24, the first feedback part 123 and the second feedback part 231 coincide in the axial direction of the first rotation shaft L1 and form a feedback structure B in cooperation, under the relative rotation of the face cover assembly 1 and the water distribution assembly 2 and the joint action of the elastic part 24, the first feedback part 123 switches on both sides of the second feedback part 231 with the switching of the locking structure A between the disassembly state and the locking state. Since the first feedback part 123 and the second feedback part 231 coincide in the axial direction of the first rotation shaft L1, the first feedback part 123 will be subjected to resistance during the process of moving across the second feedback part 231 from one side to the other side, the resistance is transmitted to the switching handle part 102 to provide a switching feeling to the user, the user can perceive that the locking structure A is switched to the position, prompting the user that the face cover assembly 1 has been rotated to the position.

[0055] The two sides of the first feedback part 123 and the second feedback part 231 are respectively inclined surfaces, the first feedback part 123 and the second feedback part 231 form an abutting relationship with each other through the inclined surfaces, the inclined surface of the first feedback part 123 and the second feedback part 231 abutting with each other in the locking state is defined as a locking inclined surface B1, and the inclined surface of the first feedback part 123 and the second feedback part 231 abutting with each other in the disassembly state is defined as a disassembly inclined surface B2, the inclination of the locking inclined surface B1 is greater than the inclination of the disassembly inclined surface B2.

[0056] In this embodiment, the inclination refers to the acute angle between the inclined surface and the rotation direction of the face cover assembly 1, the greater the acute angle, the greater the inclination, and the greater the resistance provided to the rotation of the face cover assembly 1. In this embodiment, the inclination of the locking inclined surface B1 is set to be greater than the inclination of the disassembly inclined surface B2, so that the resistance received by the face cover assembly 1 when switching from the locking state to the disassembly state is greater than the resistance received by the face cover assembly 1 when switching from the disassembly state to the locking state, the difficulty of disassembling the face cover assembly 1 is increased, the face cover assembly 1 is prevented from being undesirably disassembled, and the connection strength and reliability of the shower are improved.

[0057] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 12As shown, the main body 3 is provided with two first limiting portions 41, which are arranged at intervals along the rotating direction of the water distribution assembly 2, and the water distribution body 21 of the water distribution assembly 2 is provided with a second limiting portion 42, which is located between the two first limiting portions 41 in the rotating direction of the water distribution assembly 2, and the rotating range of the second limiting portion 42 between the two first limiting portions 41 forms the relative rotating range between the water distribution assembly 2 and the main body 3, and the two first limiting portions 41 and the second limiting portion 42 cooperate to form a limiting structure 4. The direction in which the face cover assembly 1 is switched from the locked state to the disassembling state is the disassembling direction, and the direction opposite to the disassembling direction is the mounting direction, the two first limiting portions 41 are located on the disassembling direction and the mounting direction of the first limiting portion 42 respectively, and the second limiting portion 42 abuts against the first limiting portion 41 located on the disassembling direction thereof to form the rotating limiting between the water distribution assembly 2 and the main body 3. More specifically: Figure 2 In the case of the disassembling direction being the counterclockwise direction and the mounting direction being the clockwise direction, Figure 7 and Figure 12 On the contrary, Figure 7 and Figure 12 As shown, the disassembling direction is the clockwise direction, and the mounting direction is the counterclockwise direction, therefore, the rotating limiting of the water distribution assembly 2 formed by the abutment between the second limiting portion 42 and the first limiting portion 41 located on the disassembling direction side thereof is the direction conducive to the disassembly of the face cover assembly 1; and the abutment between the second limiting portion 42 and the first limiting portion 41 located on the mounting direction side thereof is used to prevent the water distribution assembly 2 from rotating excessively during the switching of the water flow.

Claims

1. A shower head, comprising a faceplate assembly, a water distribution assembly, and a main body, wherein the faceplate assembly is rotatably connected to the water distribution assembly, and the water distribution assembly is rotatably connected to the main body; characterized in that: A locking structure is provided between the face cover assembly and the water distribution assembly, the locking structure being used to switch between a disassembled state and a locked state as the face cover assembly and the water distribution assembly rotate relative to each other; The faceplate assembly is provided with a switching handle for the user to operate and drive its rotation. A limiting structure is provided between the water distribution assembly and the main body to limit the relative rotation range of the two. The connection strength between the water distribution assembly and the main body is less than the connection strength between the faceplate assembly and the water distribution assembly. Within the rotation range limited by the limiting structure, the face cover assembly drives the water distribution assembly to rotate synchronously relative to the main body under the driving action of the switching handle, so as to switch the water output of the shower head; At the rotation limit restricted by the limiting structure, the water distribution component and the main body form a relatively fixed connection. The face cover component rotates relative to the water distribution component under the driving action of the switching handle, thereby allowing the locking structure to selectively switch to the disassembly state or the locking state for disassembly and assembly of the face cover component.

2. A shower head according to claim 1, characterized in that: The locking structure includes a central locking structure disposed at the center of the faceplate assembly and a circumferential locking structure disposed on the outer side of the faceplate assembly. The central locking structure and the circumferential locking structure synchronously switch to the disassembly state or the locking state as the faceplate assembly rotates relative to the water distribution assembly. When the locking structure is in the locking state, the faceplate assembly is locked. When the locking structure is in the disassembly state, the faceplate assembly can be disassembled relative to the water distribution assembly and the main body.

3. A shower head according to claim 2, characterized in that: The axis of rotation between the faceplate assembly and the water distribution assembly is defined as the first axis of rotation. The faceplate assembly has a first central locking portion, and the water distribution assembly has a second central locking portion. The first central locking portion and the second central locking portion each have a circumferential extension section, and the two cooperate to form the central locking structure. The circumferential extension sections of the first central locking portion and the second central locking portion are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the first axis of rotation. As the faceplate assembly and the water distribution assembly rotate relative to each other, the circumferential extension sections of the first central locking portion and the second central locking portion coincide in the rotation direction, causing the central locking structure to form the locked state. The circumferential extension sections of the first central locking portion and the second central locking portion separate in the rotation direction, causing the central locking structure to form the disassembled state.

4. A shower head according to claim 3, characterized in that: The faceplate assembly includes a first locking member disposed at the first rotating shaft, and the water-dividing assembly includes a second locking member disposed at the first rotating shaft. The first locking member is sleeved on the outside of the second locking member. The first central locking portion is disposed on the inner side wall of the first locking member, and the second central locking portion is disposed on the outer side wall of the second locking member. The first central locking portion and the second central locking portion each have an axially extending section, such that the first central locking portion and the second central locking portion are each L-shaped structures. The axially extending sections of the first central locking portion and the second central locking portion are used to abut against each other in the locked state to form a rotation limit for the faceplate assembly.

5. A shower head according to claim 3, characterized in that: The face cover assembly includes a face cover and a first locking member disposed at the first pivot. The first central locking part is disposed on the inner sidewall of the first locking member and protrudes from the inner sidewall. The first locking member also has an insertion protrusion.

The first circumferential locking portions and the second circumferential locking portions are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the first rotating shaft and cooperate to form the circumferential locking structure. As the faceplate assembly and the water distribution assembly rotate relative to each other, the first circumferential locking portions and the second circumferential locking portions coincide in the rotation direction, causing the circumferential locking structure to form the locked state. The first circumferential locking portions and the second circumferential locking portions separate in the rotation direction, causing the circumferential locking structure to form the disassembled state.

7. A shower head according to claim 6, characterized in that: The faceplate assembly includes a faceplate, and the first circumferential locking portion is a protruding strip on the inner sidewall of the faceplate. The protruding strip extends circumferentially along the faceplate, and one or two of the protruding strips have a positioning notch at the middle of their extension direction.
