Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom technology, and more specifically, to a roller switch shower head that allows for easy adjustment of water flow. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, showerheads typically use rotary switches to adjust water flow, relying on rotating the valve core. In practice, when the hand is slippery due to water or uneven pressure, the rotation can easily become choppy or inaccurate, resulting in inconsistent or unstable water flow. Furthermore, the valve core structure of some rotary switches limits adjustment to a few preset levels, preventing stepless adjustment. Over time, scale buildup in the internal valve core can cause it to become stiff, affecting its lifespan.
[0003] Furthermore, other types of flow control switches all have various shortcomings. For example, push-button flow control switches only support fixed levels and lack continuous adjustment functionality. Push-rod flow control switches have complex internal mechanical structures and are prone to jamming or failure due to wear and tear over long-term use. Electronic control switches, on the other hand, are obviously too expensive and unsuitable for low-cost products. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a more convenient switch structure for adjusting water flow. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a roller switch shower head that is convenient for adjusting water flow, so as to solve the above problems.
[0005] The present invention adopts the following solution:
[0006] This application provides a roller switch shower head with convenient water flow adjustment, including a body, a water inlet seat, and a roller switch; the water inlet seat is provided with a water inlet channel; the roller switch includes a roller component and a swing component that is linked and cooperates with the roller component, the swing component being movably accommodated in the water inlet seat; when the roller component is subjected to a thrust in a first direction, it drives the swing component to move backward to a first limit position, corresponding to at least partially blocking the water inlet channel; when the roller component is subjected to a thrust in a second direction, it drives the swing component to move forward to a second limit position, corresponding to at least partially opening the water inlet channel; the swing component can freely switch positions between the first limit position and the second limit position to adjust the water inlet volume of the water inlet channel.
[0007] As a further improvement, the roller is rotatably disposed on the water-passing seat, having an initial state, a forward-pushing state moving in a first direction, and a backward-pushing state moving in a second direction.
[0008] As a further improvement, the initial state corresponds to the swing member being between the first and second extreme positions, at which point the water output is normal; the forward push state corresponds to the swing member moving along the first extreme position, at which point the water output gradually decreases; and the backward push state corresponds to the swing member moving along the second extreme position, at which point the water output gradually increases.
[0009] As a further improvement, a movable cavity adapted to the swing member is formed inside the water-passing seat, and the swing member is centrally housed in the movable cavity in the initial state.
[0010] As a further improvement, the swing member is an arc-shaped rotating arm, and a sealing gasket is provided on the side of the rotating arm to fit tightly with the water seat, so as to provide rotational resistance to the roller member.
[0011] As a further improvement, the water-passing seat is provided with a hinge seat, and the hinge seat is provided with a rotating shaft, with the roller component and the swing component facing each other on both sides of the rotating shaft.
[0012] As a further improvement, a support portion is formed at one end of the rotating shaft, and the roller component is detachably fastened to the support portion.
[0013] As a further improvement, the roller is semi-circular and is arranged perpendicularly to the support; and the rotating shaft and the hinge seat are connected by a damping mechanism.
[0014] As a further improvement, the other end of the rotating shaft is configured to be in a male-female plug-in fit with the swinging member.
[0015] As a further improvement, the main body includes a handheld part and a face cover part, and the roller switch is disposed on the face cover part; the handheld part is provided with a switch that allows selection of a water outlet, and at least one water outlet is connected to the water inlet channel of the water outlet seat.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention can achieve the following technical effects:
[0017] 1. The roller switch shower head for convenient water flow adjustment of this application, through the mutual linkage between the roller component and the swing component, provides a corresponding thrust to the roller component in the first direction or the second direction, thereby controlling the swing component to freely change position between the first limit position (partially blocking the water inlet channel) and the second limit position (partially opening the water inlet channel), thereby realizing continuous and stepless adjustment of the water inlet volume. It can effectively avoid the limitation of traditional button or knob adjustment which only has a "fully open" or "fully closed" state. Users can adjust the water flow more flexibly according to actual needs, thereby improving the user's shower experience.
[0018] 2. The roller switch is operated by pushing and pulling. The overall adjustment can be completed by simply applying a pushing force along the first direction or the second direction to the roller. Compared with the traditional knob or button structure, the roller has a more intuitive and smooth feel when used. It can ensure the sensitivity and accuracy of adjustment even when hands are wet. It is especially suitable for users with low operation requirements, such as the elderly and children.
[0019] 3. In particular, the roller component and the swing component are directly linked, which can achieve the required adjustment function with fewer mechanical structures. Furthermore, the swing component is installed movably in the water seat, which not only ensures the compactness of the structure but also reduces potential failure points. Compared with complex electronic adjustment systems, the structure is simplified and the manufacturing cost and maintenance difficulty are reduced, while improving the overall reliability and durability of the product.

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.
[0031] Example
[0032] Combination Figures 1 to 8 This embodiment provides a conveniently adjustable water flow roller switch 3 shower head, including a body 1, a water inlet seat 2, and a roller switch 3. The water inlet seat 2 has a water inlet channel 21. The roller switch 3 includes a roller component 31 and a swing component 32 that is linked and cooperates with the roller component 31. The swing component 32 is movably housed within the water inlet seat 2. When the roller component 31 is subjected to a thrust in a first direction, it drives the swing component 32 to move backward to a first extreme position, corresponding to at least partially blocking the water inlet channel 21. When the roller component 31 is subjected to a thrust in a second direction, it drives the swing component 32 to move forward to a second extreme position, corresponding to at least partially opening the water inlet channel 21. The swing component 32 can freely switch between the first extreme position and the second extreme position to adjust the water inlet volume of the water inlet channel 21.
[0033] The roller switch 3 shower head described above, through the mutual linkage between the roller component 31 and the swing component 32, provides a thrust to the roller component 31 in either the first or second direction. This controls the swing component 32 to freely change position between the first extreme position (partially blocking the water inlet channel 21) and the second extreme position (partially opening the water inlet channel 21), thereby achieving continuous and stepless adjustment of the water inlet volume. This effectively avoids the limitations of traditional button or knob adjustments that only have "fully open" or "fully closed" states. Users can more flexibly adjust the water flow according to their actual needs, thereby improving the user's showering experience.
[0034] Among them, the roller switch 3 can be adjusted by pushing and pulling. Simply apply a pushing force along the first or second direction to the roller component 31. Compared with the traditional knob or button structure, the roller component 31 has a more intuitive and smooth feel when used. It can ensure the sensitivity and accuracy of adjustment even when hands are wet. It is especially suitable for users with low operation requirements, such as the elderly and children.
[0035] In particular, the roller component 31 and the swing component 32 are directly linked, which can achieve the required adjustment function with fewer mechanical structures. Furthermore, the swing component 32 is movably installed in the water seat 2, which not only ensures the compactness of the structure but also reduces potential failure points. Compared with complex electronic adjustment systems, the structure is simplified and the manufacturing cost and maintenance difficulty are reduced, while improving the overall reliability and durability of the product.
[0036] Wherein, the first direction and the second direction defined above are opposite directions. Preferably, the first direction is a forward direction and the second direction is a backward direction.
[0037] like Figures 6 to 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the roller 31 is rotatably disposed on the water-passing seat 2, having an initial state, a forward-pushing state moving in a first direction, and a backward-pushing state moving in a second direction. Furthermore, it is evident that the roller 31 is at least partially exposed on the body 1 (preferably on the cover portion 12) to facilitate manual operation by the user.
[0038] Specifically, the initial state corresponds to the swing member 32 being between the first and second extreme positions, at which point the water flow is at normal volume. The forward pushing state corresponds to the swing member 32 moving along the first extreme position, at which point the water flow gradually decreases. The backward pushing state corresponds to the swing member 32 moving along the second extreme position, at which point the water flow gradually increases.
[0039] The water outlet 2 contains a movable cavity 22 adapted to the swing member 32. In the initial state, the swing member 32 is centrally located within the movable cavity 22. At this time, the swing member 32 is completely contained within the movable cavity 22, without obstructing or significantly reducing the space available for the water inlet channel 21, allowing for normal water flow. When the swing member 32 moves backward relative to the movable cavity 22 to its first extreme position, it obstructs the water inlet surface of the water inlet channel 21, reducing the water flow and thus decreasing the water volume. When the swing member 32 moves forward relative to the movable cavity 22 to its second extreme position, it allows for greater space for water to flow out, thus increasing the water volume. Clearly, the swing member 32 at its second extreme position is further away from the water inlet surface, resulting in a larger water flow rate within the movable cavity 22 and the waterway, thereby increasing the overall water output of the outlet.
[0040] Preferably, the oscillating member 32 is an arc-shaped rotating arm, and a sealing gasket 33 is provided on the side of the rotating arm to fit tightly against the water seat 2, providing rotational resistance to the roller member 31. On one hand, the sealing gasket 33 serves to ensure a tight connection, allowing the water flow entering the movable chamber 22 to be more effectively guided to the outlet. On the other hand, the sealing gasket 33 provides damping for the rotating arm and the roller member, ensuring that the roller member fits more tightly in its switched position during the pushing and switching process, thereby facilitating rapid positioning of the roller member 31 and improving the damping feel during the pushing process.
[0041] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the water-passing seat 2 is provided with a hinge seat 23, and the hinge seat 23 is correspondingly provided with a rotating shaft 24. The roller component 31 and the swing component 32 are positioned on opposite sides of the rotating shaft 24. The swing component 32 located on one side is housed in the movable cavity 22, and the roller component 31 located on the other side, when pushed by an external force, directly transmits power to the swing component 32 through the rotating shaft 24, thereby achieving rapid linkage between the two.
[0042] Specifically, a support portion 25 is formed at one end of the rotating shaft 24, and the roller component 31 is detachably fastened to the support portion 25. The support portion 25 further enhances the installation limit of the roller component 31 on the rotating shaft 24, significantly improving the operability of the roller component 31.
[0043] Preferably, the roller component 31 is semi-circular and is arranged perpendicularly to the support portion 25. Furthermore, the semi-circular roller component 31 defines two extreme positions for forward and backward pushing, which facilitates quick adjustment operations for users and is more ergonomic.
[0044] In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 24 and the hinge seat 23 are connected by a damping mechanism. The damping of the rotating shaft 24 on the hinge seat 23 directly provides damping force to the roller component 31 during operation, allowing the user to directly limit the roller switch 3 to a single operating position, maintaining the water inflow and continuously supplying water for the user's use.
[0045] In this embodiment, the other end of the rotating shaft 24 is configured to be in a male-female plug-in fit with the swing member 32. The end of the rotating shaft 24 is configured as the male end side, and the swing member 32 is correspondingly formed with a female end side adapted to the male end side, thereby enabling the swing member 32 and the rotating shaft 24 to be quickly plugged in and fitted together, resulting in a more compact and efficient structure.
[0046] It should be mentioned that the water inlet channel 21 is specifically a water passage configured on the water seat 2, at least exposing its water outlet surface on the side facing the movable cavity 22, so that the swinging part 32 after rotation can directly block the water outlet surface, thereby reducing the water output.
[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the main body includes a handheld part 11 and a face cover 12. The roller switch 3 is disposed on the face cover 12, and the handheld part 11 is provided with a selector switch 4 that allows water to flow through one of the water paths. At least one water path is connected to the water inlet channel 21 of the water outlet 2. It should be noted that at least one water path is connected to the water inlet channel 21, thereby allowing the roller switch 3 to further adjust the water flow to the water outlet 2 and the face cover 12. The selector switch 4 and its multiple water paths are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.
[0048] 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.
