Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of outdoor facilities, and in particular to an outdoor shower facility. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, outdoor shower facilities are commonly used, such as at seaside bathing beaches and outdoor open-air bathing areas. Regarding water sources, most outdoor shower facilities use tap water directly; regarding water temperature, most outdoor shower facilities are at room temperature and generally lack heated water outlets; and regarding safety facilities in the shower area, most outdoor shower areas lack non-slip surfaces and anti-slip features.

[0003] Chinese patent (publication number CN207035472U) discloses a solar photovoltaic water heating device, in which a temperature control module is connected to a water storage tank. The water storage tank is equipped with an inlet and an outlet, and an electric heating element is installed inside the tank, connected to the temperature control module. The energy storage module and energy storage inverter can store excess power generated by the photovoltaic modules and also store off-peak electricity from the mains, thus stabilizing the hot water system and providing inexpensive electricity. However, it does not consider the problems associated with using tap water as a water source for extended periods. Tap water contains a small amount of dirt and excessive chloride ions, which can clog and corrode the pipes and shower openings of the shower facilities over time. In addition, due to the lack of heating equipment, outdoor shower facilities cannot provide warm hot water to visitors in winter, which can easily lead to hypothermia. Moreover, in winter, the water source is prone to freezing, which can damage the pipes and equipment. Furthermore, the lack of anti-slip surfaces and facilities in outdoor shower areas poses a risk of slipping and falling when the ground is wet. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing an outdoor shower facility. By connecting a pre-filter in series before the insulated water tank, the tap water source can be filtered, reducing the clogging and corrosion of subsequent pipes and shower openings by dirt and chloride ions. A magnesium rod and an electric heating element are installed inside the insulated water tank. The magnesium rod can slow down the corrosion of the water tank to a certain extent and extend the service life of the shower facility.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the following technical solution is adopted:

[0007] The load-bearing structure is provided with a load-bearing surface, and a floor drain is embedded in the load-bearing surface. The drain end of the floor drain is connected to the sewage pipe network.

[0008] The main structure is fixed at the bottom to the supporting structure and extends to the top above the supporting surface, where a shower outlet is provided. A shower area is formed between the shower outlet and the supporting surface. The interior of the main structure forms an installation space for water pipes, an insulated water tank, and a pre-filter. The shower outlet is connected to the insulated water tank through a water pipe. The insulated water tank is connected to the water source after being connected to the pre-filter through a water pipe. A magnesium rod and an electric heating element are installed inside the insulated water tank. The sewage pipe of the insulated water tank is connected to the sewage network. A control valve is connected to the water pipe, and the operating end of the control valve is installed on the side of the main structure facing the shower area.

[0009] Furthermore, the shower outlet is provided with multiple outlets, at least one of which is equipped with a shower head, and the other outlets are fitted with plugs.

[0010] Furthermore, the load-bearing structure includes an anti-slip floor, with the top surface of the protective base plate forming a load-bearing surface.

[0011] Furthermore, the bearing surface is provided with a water-blocking stone in the circumferential direction. The water-blocking stone protrudes from the bearing surface, forming a groove in the bearing surface area, and the floor drain is installed in this groove.

[0012] Furthermore, a linear drainage ditch is arranged on the side of the water-retaining stone away from the bearing surface, and the linear drainage ditch is connected to the sewage pipe network.

[0013] Furthermore, the pre-filter is equipped with a pressure gauge.

[0014] Furthermore, the main structure has a viewing window opening on the side facing the shower area, the dial of the pressure gauge faces the viewing window opening, and the viewing window opening is fitted with a cabinet door to block or open the viewing window opening.

[0015] Furthermore, the heating element is a coil that heats the water injected into the insulated water tank, and the water in the pipe flows under the pressure of the water source.

[0016] Furthermore, multiple safety grab bars are installed on the side of the main structure facing the shower area.

[0017] Furthermore, LED linear lights are installed on the outer wall of the main structure.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] This invention addresses the problem of clogged and corroded shower pipes and shower openings caused by prolonged use of outdoor shower facilities. By connecting a pre-filter in series before the insulated water tank, the tap water source can be filtered, reducing the clogging and corrosion of subsequent pipes and shower openings by dirt and chloride ions. A magnesium rod and an electric heating element are installed inside the insulated water tank.

[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Existing outdoor shower facilities use tap water as their water source. The small amount of dirt and excessive chloride ions in tap water can clog and corrode subsequent pipes and shower openings over time. Therefore, this embodiment provides an outdoor shower facility with a pre-filter 12 connected in series before the insulated water tank 6. This pre-filter can initially filter the tap water entering the system, intercepting dirt and reducing its accumulation in pipes and shower openings. It can also reduce the chloride ion content in the water to some extent, preventing chloride ions from corroding metal pipes and shower openings.

[0028] Furthermore, the insulated water tank 6 will corrode due to the influence of various substances in the water during long-term use. To address this, in this embodiment, a magnesium rod 9 is installed inside the insulated water tank 6 to mitigate this problem. As a sacrificial anode, the magnesium rod 9 preferentially oxidizes in the water environment inside the tank, rather than the metal material of the tank itself, thus protecting the tank body from rapid corrosion and extending the service life of the insulated water tank 6 and the entire shower facility.

[0029] In winter, outdoor temperatures are low, and existing shower facilities lack heating equipment, making it impossible to provide tourists with warm hot water. Furthermore, the water source is prone to freezing, damaging the water pipes 11 and the equipment. To address this, an electric heating element 8 is installed inside the insulated water tank 6. This allows the water in the tank to be heated in winter, meeting tourists' hot water needs and preventing the water from freezing and damaging the water pipes 11 and the equipment.

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the outdoor shower facility includes a support structure 24 and a main structure 20. The support structure 24 is located on the ground, and a support surface 23 is provided. A floor drain 16 is embedded in the support surface 23, and the drain end of the floor drain 16 is connected to the sewage pipe network. The bottom of the main structure 20 is firmly fixed to the support structure 24, providing the main framework of the entire facility. The top of the main structure 20 extends above the support surface 23 and is provided with a shower outlet 21. The installation space formed inside the main structure 20 integrates key components such as water pipes 11, insulated water tanks 6, and pre-filters 12, which saves space and facilitates the connection and cooperation between various components through water pipes 11.

[0031] Specifically, the top of the main structure 20 extends above the bearing surface 23 and is provided with a shower outlet 21. A shower area is formed between the shower outlet 21 and the bearing surface 23. The interior of the main structure 20 forms an installation space to accommodate the water pipe 11, the insulated water tank 6, and the pre-filter 12. The shower outlet 21 is connected to the insulated water tank 6 through the water pipe 11. The insulated water tank 6 is connected to the water source after being connected to the pre-filter 12 through the water pipe 11. A magnesium rod 9 and an electric heating element 8 are installed inside the insulated water tank 6. The sewage pipe 10 of the insulated water tank 6 is connected to the sewage network. A control valve is connected to the water pipe 11. The operating end of the control valve is installed on the side of the main structure 20 facing the shower area.

[0032] The bearing surface 23 of the bearing structure 24 is the direct support area for the user's showering activities. In this embodiment, the bearing structure 24 includes an anti-slip floor, the top surface of which forms the bearing surface 23, effectively preventing slips and falls in wet conditions.

[0033] like Figure 1As shown, a water-retaining stone 17 is provided around the bearing surface 23. The water-retaining stone 17 protrudes from the bearing surface 23, forming a groove in the area of ​​the bearing surface 23. The floor drain 16 is installed in this groove, and the floor drain 16 is embedded in the bearing surface 23. The floor drain 16, as the drainage structure of the groove, facilitates the collection of water generated during showering. The drain end of the floor drain 16 is connected to the sewage pipe network, ensuring that sewage can be discharged smoothly and avoiding water accumulation that affects the user experience and the lifespan of the facility.

[0034] A linear drainage ditch 18 is arranged on the side of the water-retaining stone 17 away from the bearing surface 23. The linear drainage ditch 18 is connected to the sewage pipe network and can guide external rainwater or water overflowing from the groove to the sewage pipe network.

[0035] Shower outlet 21 is connected to insulated water tank 6 via water pipe 11. Hot water outlet pipe 7 is installed inside insulated water tank 6 and connects to water pipe 11, allowing hot water to flow from insulated water tank 6 through water pipe 11 to shower outlet 21, thus providing hot water supply. Insulated water tank 6 is connected to a pre-filter 12 via water pipe 11 and then to a water source. The pre-filter 12 purifies the water source, preventing impurities from entering and ensuring the normal operation of subsequent pipes and equipment. Magnesium rod 9 and electric heating element 8 are installed inside insulated water tank 6. Magnesium rod 9 slows down corrosion of the water tank, and electric heating element 8 heats the water. A control valve is connected to water pipe 11, and the operating end of the control valve is installed on the side of the main structure 20 facing the shower area, allowing users to easily control the water flow and temperature.

[0036] The water in the water pipe 11 can flow under water pressure. In other alternative embodiments, in order to ensure that the water can be supplied smoothly to the shower outlet 21, a water pump can be installed on the water pipe 11. The water pump draws water from the insulated water tank 6 and supplies it to the shower outlet 21. The operation of the water pump is controlled by the water outlet and temperature control handle 13. The water outlet and temperature control handle 13 can be integrated with the operating end of the control valve to form a control panel.

[0037] The insulated water tank 6 is equipped with a drain pipe 10 connected to the sewage network, facilitating regular cleaning of accumulated dirt and impurities inside the tank, maintaining its cleanliness, and ensuring hot water quality. The main structure 20, in its spatial layout and component installation design, fully considers the equipment's maintenance needs; all components are relatively concentrated and easily accessible, facilitating inspection and maintenance by staff.

[0038] The load-bearing structure 24 and the main structure 20 work together, with the load-bearing structure 24 responsible for support and drainage, and the main structure 20 responsible for functional integration, water flow control and equipment maintenance, together constructing an outdoor shower facility.

[0039] A pressure gauge 15 is installed on the pre-filter 12, and the user can easily observe the pressure gauge 15 value at any time through the viewing window opening on the main structure 20 and the matching cabinet door 14 to understand the working pressure of the filter and determine whether it is operating normally, thus solving the problem of not being able to monitor the status of the pre-filter 12.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the main structure 20 has a viewing window opening on the side facing the shower area. The dial of the pressure gauge 15 faces the viewing window opening. The viewing window opening is fitted with a cabinet door 14 to block or open the viewing window opening. The cabinet door 14 is opened when observing the pressure gauge 15, and closed when not observing to block the viewing window opening and prevent water from entering the interior through the viewing window opening.

[0041] In this embodiment, the use of a coil-shaped electric heating element 8 increases the contact area between the electric heating element 8 and the water, thereby improving heating efficiency and efficiently heating the water injected into the insulated water tank 6. The electric heating element 8 can be an electric heating element 8 connected to an energy storage capacitor 4, which supplies power for heating. At the same time, the water in the water pipe 11 flows under the pressure of the water source, ensuring the stability of the water flow and solving the problems of low hot water heating efficiency and unstable water flow.

[0042] During showering, users may need support due to loss of balance, and outdoor shower areas require lighting at night or in low light conditions. Multiple safety grab bars 22 are installed on the side of the main structure 20 facing the shower area, providing reliable support and ensuring safety during showering; Figure 2 As shown, LED linear lights 19 are installed on the outer wall of the main structure 20, which can provide lighting when there is insufficient light, making it convenient for users to use the shower facilities at different times, thus solving the problems of safety and insufficient lighting.

[0043] Existing shower facilities may have limited functionality and fail to meet the diverse needs of different users. In this embodiment, by providing multiple shower outlets 21, at least one equipped with a shower head, and the others fitted with plugs, users can choose to use the shower head for showering or utilize the outlets without shower heads for other purposes, such as rinsing feet or cleaning items, thus solving the problem of limited functionality. Multiple shower outlets 21 and their different configurations provide users with more options, making showering and other cleaning operations more convenient, thus improving the practicality of the facility and the user experience.

[0044] In addition, traditional outdoor shower facilities typically rely on mains electricity, which is energy-intensive and not environmentally friendly. In this embodiment, as... Figure 1As shown, the solar photovoltaic module 1 is glued and fixed to the main structure 20 to receive solar energy and convert it into electrical energy. The electrical energy is connected to the inverter 3 via the connecting wire 2, which converts the direct current to alternating current, and then supplies power to the insulated water tank 6 through the AC surge protection distribution box 5. When there is sufficient solar energy, the excess electrical energy is stored in the energy storage capacitor 4, which is used to power the electric heating element 8 of the insulated water tank 6 at night or when there is no sunlight. Using solar energy storage to heat the shower water reduces dependence on mains electricity, solves the problem of single energy use and inefficiency, achieves green energy saving, and reduces operating costs.
