It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0041] Please see Figures 1 to 7 The present invention provides a preferred embodiment of a travel shower with water treatment function, including components such as an inlet connector 10, an outlet connector 20, a universal joint 30, a hose 40, a water outlet 50, and a water treatment component 60. The water inlet connector 10 has two through-holes; the water outlet connector 20 has two through-holes; several universal joints 30 are provided and connected in sequence, with the first section of the universal joint 30 rotatably connected to the water inlet connector 10 and the last section of the universal joint 30 rotatably connected to the water outlet connector 20; a hose 40 passes through the water inlet connector 10, several universal joints 30, and the water outlet connector 20, with the inlet end of the hose 40 fixedly connected to the water inlet connector 10 and the outlet end of the hose 40 fixedly connected to the water outlet connector 20; a water outlet 50 is connected to the water outlet connector 20 (it can be directly or indirectly connected) and communicates with the outlet end of the hose 40; the water treatment component 60 has a first connecting part 61 at one end for detachable connection to the water inlet connector 10 and a second connecting part 62 at the other end for detachable connection to a water source. The water source of this utility model can be a shower system or a faucet, etc., which provides water to a travel shower.

[0042] To securely connect the two ends of the hose 40 to the inlet connector 10 and the outlet connector 20 respectively, this embodiment also includes two hose connectors 41. Each hose connector 41 includes a limiting ring 411 and an insertion portion 412. The insertion portion 412 has several spaced buckles 413 along the insertion direction. The insertion portion 412 is inserted into the hose 40 and press-fits with it. The buckles 413 prevent the insertion portion 412 from exiting the hose 40. The inlet connector 10 and the outlet connector 20 are respectively provided with limiting steps 11 and 21, with the limiting ring 411 engaging with the limiting steps 11 and 21. Using hose connectors 41 to securely connect the two ends of the hose 40 results in a simple structure that is easy and convenient to assemble. The hose 40 is preferably made of silicone material, but it can also be made of other soft materials; this is not a limitation.

[0043] In this embodiment, the water treatment component 60 includes a housing 63 and an inner core 64. The housing 63 has an inner cavity 631 and an inlet 632 and an outlet 633 communicating with the inner cavity 631 respectively. The inner core 64 is disposed within the inner cavity 631. A first connecting part 61 is disposed at the outlet 633 of the housing 63, and a second connecting part 62 is disposed at the inlet 632 of the housing 63. Water flows into the inner cavity 631 from the inlet 632 of the housing 63, and after being treated by the inner core 64, it flows out from the outlet 633 of the housing 63, thereby achieving water purification or fragrance enhancement.

[0044] To further save costs, the inner core 64 can be designed to be removable and housed within the housing 63. In this way, after the water treatment component 60 has been used for a certain period of time, the inner core 64 of the water treatment component 60 can be directly replaced without replacing the housing 63, thus reducing water treatment costs.

[0045] The inner core 64 can be made of existing known water treatment materials, such as activated carbon or PP cotton, which can purify water.

[0046] In this embodiment, a removable flow restrictor 12 is provided inside the water inlet connector 10. Thus, when the water pressure is high, the flow restrictor 12 can be installed to limit the water flow; when the water pressure is low, the flow restrictor 12 can be removed to ensure the water flow rate. This makes it more convenient to use and has a wider range of applications.

[0047] In this embodiment, the end of the water inlet connector 10 away from the universal joint 30 is provided with a first external thread 13, and the first connecting part 61 of the water treatment component 60 is a first internal thread 61 that mates with the first external thread 13; the second connecting part 62 of the water treatment component 60 is a second external thread 62. The threaded connection is used for detachable connection design, which is simple in structure and convenient in connection.

[0048] Preferably, in this embodiment, the first external thread 13 and the second external thread 62 are the same, and the threads of the first external thread 13 and the second external thread 62 are both imperial 1 / 4-point threads, which makes them more versatile.

[0049] In this embodiment, one end of the universal joint 30 is provided with a sleeve 31, and the other end is provided with a ball head 32. The ball head 32 of one of two adjacent universal joints 30 is fitted into the sleeve 31 of the other universal joint 30, thereby realizing the sequential rotatable connection of each universal joint 30. The water inlet connector 10 is provided with a ball head 32 that mates with the sleeve 31 of the first universal joint 30, and the water outlet connector 20 is provided with a sleeve 31 that mates with the ball head 32 of the last universal joint 30, thereby realizing the rotatable connection between the water inlet connector 10 and the first universal joint 30, and the rotatable connection between the water outlet connector 20 and the last universal joint 30. The sleeve 31 can elastically deform during the insertion of the ball head 32, that is, the sleeve 31 of the universal joint 30 has a certain elastic deformation capacity, so that the sleeve 31 and the ball head 32 can be elastically engaged, and the ball head 32 can rotate in the sleeve 31. The thinnest wall thickness of the universal joint 30 is between 1.5mm and 2mm, which ensures the strength of the universal joint 30 and makes it less likely to be damaged during the change of direction.

[0050] In this embodiment, the radial dimension of the water treatment component 60 is less than 30mm and the axial dimension is less than 50mm. This design ensures the water treatment effect while making the overall structure of the travel shower more compact and small.

[0051] Preferably, in this embodiment, the water outlet 50 is detachably and directly connected to the water outlet connector 20, and the water outlet 50 contains a detachable water outlet component 52. This design allows for the selection of different water outlets 50 or different water outlet components 52 as needed. Different water outlet components 52 can have different water spray types, different water flow rates, different water flow velocities, or different appearance colors, etc. This greatly improves the versatility of the travel shower head, eliminating the need for a single water spray design for each travel shower head, and effectively reducing manufacturing costs.

[0052] In the above embodiments, it is preferable to detachably connect the water treatment component 60 to the water inlet connector 10. In another preferred embodiment, it is also possible to detachably connect the water treatment component 60 to the water outlet connector 20. In this case, the water treatment component 60 is detachably disposed between the water outlet connector 20 and the water outlet 50, and the water outlet 50 is indirectly connected to the water outlet connector 20 through the water treatment component 60.

[0053] This utility model designs a travel shower head comprising several interconnected universal joints 30. These universal joints 30 allow the travel shower head to be stored for easy carrying (e.g., it can be stored in multiple concentric circles, or simply folded into an irregular bundle), and unfolded for use. Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 (These are all schematic diagrams showing the travel showerhead in its unfolded state). By designing the water treatment component 60, it can be detachably connected to the inlet connector 10, or detachably positioned between the outlet connector 20 and the outlet nozzle 50. This allows the water to be treated (filtered or scented, etc.) to meet users' personalized water quality needs. Furthermore, both ends of the water treatment component 60 are designed to be detachable, facilitating easy replacement of the entire component and ensuring the reliability of the travel showerhead's water treatment effect. The structure is simple and easy to use.

[0054] The present invention has been described above by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described manner. Any non-substantial improvements made by adopting the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention, or the direct application of the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention to other occasions without modification, are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
