Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shower head technology, and more specifically, to a shower head device that facilitates flexible control of water output. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most shower heads on the market adopt a modular assembly design, meaning that the handheld parts and the fixed water outlet structure are independent of each other. Although this makes it convenient to assemble and replace parts, it lacks a unified aesthetic in terms of overall design and often suffers from structural separation and bulky appearance, making it difficult to meet the requirements of simplicity and beauty in modern homes.

[0003] Furthermore, in practical use, users have high requirements for the grip and ease of operation of handheld components. Buttons and switches are often awkwardly positioned, affecting not only the appearance but also easily leading to accidental activation or cumbersome operation, failing to ensure a more intuitive and comfortable experience for users switching water outlets. In particular, the existing water outlet panels are made of hard plastic, which has poor sealing and flexibility, and is prone to aging and deformation, causing leaks or even damage, significantly reducing the product's lifespan. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a shower head device that facilitates flexible control of water output, so as to solve the above problems.

[0005] The present invention adopts the following solution:

[0006] This application provides a shower head device that facilitates flexible control of water output, comprising a shower head body composed of a handheld component and a water outlet component; the handheld component has a water inlet formed at the bottom and a push-button switch formed adjacent to the water outlet and disposed on the front end face of the handheld component; the water outlet component consists of a face cover shell integrally formed with the handheld component and a water outlet plate disposed on the front end face of the face cover shell; the water outlet plate is made of liquid silicone material; a first water outlet portion for distributing particulate water is formed in the central region of the water outlet plate, and a second water outlet portion for distributing shower water or pressurized water is formed in the surrounding region of the water outlet plate; the push-button switch is configured as a roller key that can be operated to rotate longitudinally; the roller key further acts on a water distribution structure through a transmission structure, so as to freely select water to be output to any one of the water outlet portions.

[0007] As a further improvement, the first water outlet section is arranged in a rectangular pattern in the central area, and each water outlet of the first water outlet section is regularly arranged in the annular groove recessed in the water outlet plate.

[0008] As a further improvement, the second water outlet portion is arranged in a ring on the outer periphery of the central region, and multiple rings are spaced apart and spread around the entire water outlet plate.

[0009] As a further improvement, each of the water outlets in the first water outlet section is regularly arranged on the annular ribs protruding from the water outlet plate.

[0010] As a further improvement, the end face of the water outlet plate extends upward at an angle from the central area to the surrounding areas to form a shower head with higher sides and a lower middle.

[0011] As a further improvement, the scroll wheel key is provided with anti-slip textures arranged laterally, and the anti-slip textures are raised to facilitate user touch operation.

[0012] As a further improvement, a third water outlet section for spray gun water is also formed on the top side of the faceplate shell; when the roller key is pushed or pressed, it is triggered to the transmission structure to drive the water distribution structure to switch the water outlet to the third water outlet section to output spray gun water.

[0013] As a further improvement, the transmission structure is a connecting rod assembly or a gear assembly, and the water distribution structure is an internal water distribution valve core.

[0014] As a further improvement, the water distribution valve core is controlled by a roller key and a transmission trigger, and it is provided with at least a first water distribution path connected to the first water outlet section, a second water distribution path connected to the second water outlet section, and a third water distribution path connected to the third water outlet section.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention can achieve the following technical effects:

[0016] 1. The shower head device of this application, which facilitates flexible control of water output, sets two different water output zones in the water output plate made of liquid silicone material. The first water output section in the central area can produce granular water, while the second water output section in the surrounding area can produce shower water or pressurized water. Users can flexibly select the water output mode according to their actual needs. Whether a fine water droplet or a strong water flow is required, it can be adjusted freely. In particular, the button switch is configured as a roller button that can rotate longitudinally and directly acts on the water distribution structure through the transmission structure to achieve precise control of the water output section. This simplifies the user's operation steps and makes the switching process more intuitive, fast and flexible, greatly improving the user experience.

[0017] 2. The shower head body is composed of a handheld component and a water outlet component. The cover shell of the water outlet component and the handheld component form a unified whole in terms of design, which is not only beautiful and elegant, but also helps to reduce the number of interfaces and connections, reducing the risk of water leakage caused by loose or damaged parts. Furthermore, the integrated cover shell not only makes the internal transmission structure and water distribution mechanism layout more reasonable, but also helps to reduce the difficulty of production and assembly, and improve the overall stability and durability of the product.

[0018] 3. Furthermore, the water outlet plate is made of liquid silicone material, which has excellent flexibility and sealing performance. While ensuring that it is not prone to aging during long-term use, it can also better adapt to the complex and ever-changing requirements of the water outlet area, thereby ensuring the sealing and safety when switching between multiple water outlet modes.

[0025] 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 some, not all, of the 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. 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 to represent selected embodiments of this utility model.

[0026] Example

[0027] Combination Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment provides a shower head device that facilitates flexible control of water output, comprising a shower head body consisting of a handheld component 1 and a water outlet component 2. The handheld component 1 has a water inlet 3 formed at its bottom and a push-button switch 4 formed adjacent to the water outlet and located on the front end face of the handheld component. The water outlet component 2 consists of a faceplate 5 integrally formed with the handheld component 1 and a water outlet plate 6 disposed on the front end face of the faceplate 5. The water outlet plate 6 is made of liquid silicone. A first water outlet portion 7 for distributing particulate water is formed in the central region of the water outlet plate 6, and a second water outlet portion 8 for distributing shower water or pressurized water is formed in the surrounding region of the water outlet plate 6. The push-button switch 4 is configured as a roller switch that can be operated to rotate longitudinally. The roller switch further acts on a water distribution structure through a transmission structure, allowing for flexible selection of water output to any one of the water outlet portions.

[0028] The shower head device described above features two different water outlet areas within the liquid silicone material water outlet plate 6. The first water outlet section 7 in the central area produces particulate water, while the second water outlet section 8 in the surrounding area produces either shower water or pressurized water. Users can flexibly select the water outlet mode according to their actual needs, adjusting freely whether they require fine water droplets or a strong water flow. In particular, the button switch 4 is configured as a vertically rotating roller switch, which directly acts on the water distribution structure through a transmission structure, achieving precise control of the water outlet section. This simplifies the user's operation steps and makes the switching process more intuitive, fast, and flexible, greatly improving the user experience.

[0029] The shower head is composed of a handheld component 1 and a water outlet component 2. The face cover 5 of the water outlet component 2 and the handheld component 1 form a unified whole in terms of design, which is not only beautiful and elegant, but also helps to reduce the number of interfaces and connections, reducing the risk of water leakage caused by loose or damaged parts. Furthermore, the integrated face cover 5 not only makes the internal transmission structure and water distribution mechanism layout more reasonable, but also helps to reduce the difficulty of production and assembly, and improve the overall stability and durability of the product.

[0030] Among them, the water outlet plate 6 is made of liquid silicone, which has excellent flexibility and sealing performance. While ensuring that it is not prone to aging during long-term use, it can also better adapt to the complex and ever-changing requirements of the water outlet area, thereby ensuring the sealing and safety when switching between various water outlet modes.

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the first water outlet section 7 is arranged in a rectangular pattern in the central area, and each water outlet nozzle of the first water outlet section 7 is regularly arranged in the annular groove 9 recessed in the water outlet plate 6. In the prior art, the water outlet section often adopts a relatively simple arrangement, which may result in uneven water flow distribution, insufficient or excessive water pressure in some areas, and failure to achieve high spray uniformity.

[0032] In this embodiment, the first water outlet section 7 is arranged in a rectangular pattern in the central area of ​​the shower head device. This allows for a uniform distribution of water flow in space, ensuring a more stable and even spray effect during showering. It also helps to form a continuous and balanced water curtain, avoiding localized interference or uneven water flow. Furthermore, the regular arrangement of each water outlet within the annular groove 9 recessed in the water outlet plate 6 facilitates the formation of a fixed water outlet angle and direction, further improving water flow uniformity. This not only ensures consistency in the water outlet direction but also enhances the stability of the water pressure to a certain extent, resulting in a gentler yet powerful water flow.

[0033] Furthermore, the second water outlet portion 8 is arranged in a ring-shaped outer ring on the outer periphery of the central region, and multiple ring-shaped outer rings are spaced apart and cover the entire periphery of the water outlet plate 6. Preferably, the water outlets of the first water outlet portion 7 are regularly arranged on the protruding annular ribs 10 of the water outlet plate 6.

[0034] On the one hand, the water outlets are arranged in a ring-shaped outer ring, evenly distributed around the water outlet plate 6, forming multiple ring-shaped water curtains. This makes the water flow distribution more balanced throughout the bathing area, effectively compensating for the problem of uneven water flow or blind spots that may occur in a single area. On the other hand, setting each water outlet of the first water outlet section 7 on the raised ring-shaped ribs 10 of the water outlet plate 6 allows for better positional accuracy and fixation of the water outlets during manufacturing, ensuring that the ideal spacing and angle are maintained between the water outlets, thereby forming the desired water flow pattern.

[0035] In this embodiment, the end face of the water outlet plate 6 extends upward at an angle from the central area to the surrounding areas, forming a shower head with higher sides and a lower center. In traditional shower heads, the end face of the water outlet plate 6 is mostly flat or simply curved, making it difficult to achieve precise control of water flow distribution. This also tends to result in a uniform water flow distribution, failing to effectively distribute water pressure according to the contours of the body or the needs of the bathing area. Consequently, some areas have strong water flow while others have insufficient water flow, thus affecting the overall bathing experience.

[0036] In this embodiment, a slope is incorporated at the water outlet, resulting in a showerhead that produces a higher water flow at the edges and a lower flow in the center. This structure helps create a more three-dimensional water curtain, covering a wider bathing area while providing a gentler flow in the center, thus meeting diverse bathing needs. Furthermore, the slope allows for effective control of the water's angle and initial velocity as it leaves the outlet plate 6, achieving a degree of regional distribution of water pressure and volume. This ensures a stronger rinsing effect around the perimeter while providing a gentler flow in the center, enhancing the overall bathing experience.

[0037] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the scroll wheel key has anti-slip textures arranged laterally, and these textures are raised to facilitate user touch operation. Clearly, the scroll wheel key is hinged within the handheld component 1 and at least partially protrudes from the front end face to facilitate user push contact. By providing anti-slip textures arranged laterally on the surface of the scroll wheel key, significant frictional resistance is provided when the user's fingers touch it, preventing slippage due to wet hands or water vapor.

[0038] In this embodiment, the shower head device further includes a third water outlet section 11 forming a spray gun water on the top side of the faceplate 5. When the roller key is pushed or pressed, it triggers the transmission structure to drive the water distribution structure to switch the water outlet to the third water outlet section 11 to output spray gun water. It is understood that the roller key can control the switching of water outlets in at least three water paths by pushing or pressing it. For details, please refer to a roller-switching shower head with Chinese application number 202311360323.7, or a shower head with a water outlet switching mechanism with Chinese application number 201220191203.X; further details are omitted here.

[0039] It should be mentioned that the transmission structure is a linkage assembly or a gear assembly, and the water distribution structure is an internal water distribution valve core. The water distribution valve core is controlled by a roller key and a transmission trigger, and it has at least a first water distribution path connecting to the first water outlet section 7, a second water distribution path connecting to the second water outlet section 8, and a third water distribution path connecting to the third water outlet section 11. Obviously, the water distribution switching is achieved by transmitting power to the water distribution valve core via the roller key, thereby selecting the water to be discharged onto different water paths. This is existing technology and not an improvement in this case; existing technology can be referenced.

[0040] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions that fall within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected by this utility model.
