Furthermore, for example, the term "first component" does not imply the existence of "second component," and the term "second component" does not imply the existence of "first component."

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7This utility model discloses a preferred embodiment of a shower head push-to-switch device. The shower head includes a handle 10 and a water outlet body 20. The handle 10 is connected to an external water inlet, and the water outlet body 20 can form different water flow patterns. The push-to-switch device is installed inside the shower head handle 10 and includes an inlet pipe 30, a switching pipe 40, and a push rod 50. The inlet pipe 30 is connected to an external water inlet, and the switching pipe 40 is coaxially sleeved with the inlet pipe 30. Specifically, one end of the switching pipe 40 is sleeved inside the inlet pipe 30, and the other end is located inside the water outlet body 20 of the shower head. The push rod 50 is movably fitted onto the inlet pipe 30, and the push rod 50 and the switching pipe 40 are locked together. Furthermore, the push rod 50 is equipped with a push button 60, which can move back and forth along the central axis of the inlet pipe 30, or move at a certain angle to the central axis of the inlet pipe 30.

[0037] Furthermore, a water inlet 41 is provided on the side wall of the switching pipe 40, and multiple water outlets 21 are provided on the water outlet body 20. During the movement of the switching pipe 40 within the inlet pipe 30, the water inlet 41 can connect with each of the multiple water outlets 21 one by one. In this way, external water can flow through the inlet pipe 30 into the switching pipe 40, and then flow through the water inlet 41 into different water outlets 21, realizing different water outlet modes of the shower head. Specifically, the switching pipe 40 can move back and forth along the central axis of the inlet pipe 30, and can also rotate around the central axis of the inlet pipe 30. In addition, several sealing rings 70 are fitted on the switching pipe 40, preferably V-shaped sealing rings 70, which can increase the deformation of the sealing rings 70, facilitate the back-and-forth or rotational movement of the switching pipe 40, and also ensure that no water seepage or leakage occurs when the water flows through the water inlet 41 to each water outlet 21.

[0038] Please continue reading. Figures 3 to 5 On the outer wall of the inlet pipe 30, near the inlet end, there is a track groove 31. The track groove 31 is closed at one end facing the shower head's water inlet direction and open at the other end facing the shower head's water outlet direction. The push rod 50 can move within the track groove 31, meaning it can enter or leave the track groove 31, and its movement is stopped at the closed end of the track groove 31. Specifically, two elastic arms 51 are provided on opposite sides of the push rod 50. These two elastic arms 51 can be fitted onto the inlet pipe 30, allowing the push rod 50 to move back and forth along the central axis of the inlet pipe 30 via the two elastic arms 51. Furthermore, on both sides of the outer wall of the inlet pipe 30, near the shower head's water outlet direction, there are two limiting ribs 32. The two elastic arms 51 can respectively abut against the two limiting ribs 32, thus stopping the movement of the switching pipe 40 on the inlet pipe 30 at the two limiting ribs 32.

[0039] Furthermore, the push rod 50 has a first locking hole 52, and one end of the push button 60 protrudes to one side to form a first buckle 61, which can be locked and fixed in the first locking hole 52. Additionally, the push rod 50 has a second locking hole 53 on the side facing the showerhead water outlet, and the outer wall of the switching pipe 40 has a second buckle 42 protruding outwards, which can be locked and fixed in the second locking hole 53. Thus, when the push button 60 is pushed, the push button 60 moves the push rod 50, which in turn moves the switching pipe 40, causing the switching pipe 40 to move within the water inlet pipe 30. Furthermore, since the switching pipe 40 has a water outlet 41, as the switching pipe 40 moves back and forth along the central axis of the inlet pipe 30, the water outlet 41 can connect with multiple water outlets 21 in the water outlet body 20 one by one during the change of position. The water outlet body 20 is provided with multiple water flow channels, which are connected to the water outlets 21 one by one. In this way, multiple water flow channels with different water flow modes are formed inside the shower head water outlet body, realizing different water flow modes of the shower head.

[0040] Please continue reading. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The shower head handle 10 has a switching track 11 on its side wall, which connects to the interior of the handle 10. The push button 60 passes through the switching track 11 and is fixedly snapped onto the push rod 50 inside the handle 10. Specifically, the switching track 11 includes a first track 111 and a second track 112, which are connected as one unit to form an L-shaped track. Specifically, the first track 111 is in the same direction as the central axis of the water inlet pipe 30, and the second track 112 is set at a certain angle to the central axis of the water inlet pipe 30, preferably at a 90-degree perpendicular angle. In this way, the push button 60 can move along the switching track 11. When the push button 60 moves within the first track 111, the push button 60 is linked to the switching tube 40, causing the switching tube 40 to move back and forth along the central axis of the water inlet pipe 30; when the push button 60 moves within the second track 112, the push button 60 is linked to the switching tube 40, causing the switching tube 40 to rotate along the central axis of the water inlet pipe 30. In this preferred embodiment, three water outlets 21 are spaced apart along the central axis of the water inlet pipe 30 inside the water outlet body 20, such as... Figure 5As shown, when the switching pipe 40 moves back and forth within the inlet pipe 30, the water outlet 41 can connect to the three water outlets 21 one by one, realizing different shower spray modes. Furthermore, in this preferred embodiment, a spray gun water mode outlet 21 is provided at the top of the water outlet body 20. When the switching pipe rotates within the inlet pipe 30, the water outlet 41 can connect to the spray gun water outlet 21 on the water outlet body 20, thereby switching the shower to spray gun water mode. In this way, users can easily develop muscle memory to control the shower head during daily bathing. When the push button 60 is in the first track 111, the shower head sprays a bubble water, massage water, or regular shower water in the shower mode. When the push button 60 is switched to the second track 112, the shower head sprays a larger volume of water from the spray gun, which can be used to clean the shower room, toilet, floor, etc., for easy cleaning and hygiene. Moreover, users can freely switch the shower head spray mode with just one hand, making operation effortless and simple. Especially for certain special spray modes, the operation can be achieved directly, quickly, and accurately, making it convenient for special uses.

[0041] As can be seen from the above preferred embodiments, the shower head push-pull switching device of this utility model has a simple and exquisite structure and stable function. It can switch the shower head water output mode by simply pushing with one hand, and can directly, quickly and accurately achieve a certain water output function. It is convenient for people to switch the shower head water output by muscle memory, and meets people's cleaning needs for ease, convenience and easy operation.
